A NOBLE GIFT.
VIM. EastOn's Bsquess 90 Charles
ton.

CHARLESTON, s. c., August s.-Mayor
Courtenay announced to Council tonight
the settlement of the interest of the CITY in
the estate of William Easton, who died in
1860, leaving property valued at $500 600.
E .ston was a native OF Canterbury, Eng-
laud, and had contemplated throughout his
life the endowment of a charitable institu
tion, similar to the well known hospital
for poor brethren IN his native town By
his will he gave the whole income of his
estate to bis widow, Hannah Esston, during
her life, subj Jet to the payment of certain
beques's snd annuities, and upon her death
and that of the aBnuitants, the whole estate
was to go to the city of Charleston to build
a hospital for old aud infirm persons, ex-
Guiding lunstics. The necessary qualif1ca-
lions must be poverty aud good honest
character, the object being, in the words Of
the will, 'More TO make old age comfort
able than anything else." About eighteen
months ago Mayor G urtenay opened nego-
tiatiOns with Mrs E2ston, looking to
settlement that would put the city in po-
sitiOn tO erect and maintain the hospital at
once. Under the settlement which has been
made the city has just received $500, 900 in
cash and real estate, which is avail
able at once, and a further sum of
$4,000 has been vested In trustees
for the payment of certain annunities,
the annual surplus, If any, going to the
city and the capital sum likewise when the
last annuity lapses. The management of
the whole fund is vested in twelve trustees,
who will hold Office perpetually and serve
without compensation. The hospital will
be known as the civilian Easton Home, I"
and consist. under the terms OF the will, of
rows Of substantial brick cottages. The city
has boughC as site eight acres of land in the
northern part Of the city, and In the centre
will be placed bronze statue Of William
EsstOn.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
PrOtectiOnists who are DiSsatiS-
fed With the Mckinley Bill.

WASHINGTON, January 31.-The state
ment that the Democrats are to have q
caucus on the tariff question is at least
premature. Mr.. Carlisle merely said to
an Associated Press reporter that he
thought a conference would be desirable,
but he knew of no movement for such a
purpose. The revenue refOrmers would
like a declaration of belief on the tariff
question, but it is improbable that they
will be able to get it,.
The Mckinley bill which has been
agreed upon by the Ways and Means
Committee, is exciting a good deal of
feeling among some protectiOnistsw whose
interests are indirectly attacked by il.
1t is evident that the friends of the bill
have not fully considered all its pOssi-
bilities. The Boston wire men are es-
pecially stirred up, and for the same
reason the Western barb fence manu-
facturers must oppose the bill. These
men make their wire from steel bars.
which are made of discarded rail ends.
They are worth now S25 ton. but the
Mckinley bill will impose the duty on
the wire bars paid by steel bars. The
wire men have just found out the ruin
Gus effect the Ways and Means bill will
have on the price of their raw material
and the bill will therefore meet the
opposition of some friends of protection.

AN IMMENSE SWINDLING
SCHEME.

RACINE, Wis, January 31.-Freeman
81 Sons, dealers in agricultural imple-
ments in this city, claim to have un-
earthed an immense swindling scheme,
in which some 40 persons holding i'm
pOrtant public positions in Dakota ter
rltOry are interested. The game was
begun by Alfred Brown and a man
named Deits. They organized the
county of Douglass, DakOtah territory,
when there We're less than a dozen per-
sons in it, issued 100000 in bonds,
which they sold in New York, deposit
ing the proceeds in the county treasury,
Brown being treasurer and Deits hold
ing all the rest of the county offices.
They soon after banded with officers of
other counties for the purpose of swind-
ling agricultural implement manufac-
turers in the east and west, by ordering
farm machinery, and giving forged
notes to pay for them. 1t is said that
the gang consists of governors, county
clerks, Justices and commercial agen.
cies. Estimated that by these means
manufacturers have been swindled Out
of many thousands of dollars.
