RoANE COUNTY.

A Description of the County Town-Dis-
sertation on Political Matters.
SPENCER, August 29.-This enterprising
little town, the comfy seat of Roane coun-
ty, can furnish as many loaters to the square
as any town or city in the State. 1t is a
mystery how so many with apparently no
!no vocation, make living. The town is
}full of people to-day, and visit to the
Court House finds the attraction to be

kring the old temple of justice the writer
Noticed the presence of the leading lights Of
the Roane county bar, such as Hon. A. B.
Wells, J. W. c. Armstrong, VIM. Lynch
and Dan Brown, the present Prosecuting
Attorney of the county, together with sew
eral prominent members of neighboring
counties, among whom we note Judge
Robert G. Brown, of Jackson,
and the talented Edgar Hogg, of Mason,
who, by the way, is some day destined to
make his mark in West Virginia politics,
and his friends predict for him brilliant
career. The day is probably not far distant
when this honored son of Mason county will
represent the Fourth Congressional Dis
triict in the House of our National
Legislature. By the way, Mr.. Hogg
distinguished himself here last night in a
discussion with Hon. John A. Hutchinson
Fusion candidate for Attorney General
Hutchinson's speech was merely rehearsal
of the chapter Of abuse which
All Republican Speakers
and journals are heaping upon the Demo
cratic party and contained nothing new
The meeting took place il

had finished his piece, loud calls were made
for Hogg, who appear d and for over al
hour he Just riddled Hutchinson with ho
shot and exploded every argument {?
made by him. The unanimous opinion o.
all who heard Mr.. Hoggs reply, is tha

STARVED IN A PRISON CELL.

Four Days without Food Through the
CareIessness of u Constablc-A Case That
Calls for MISUNDERSTANDING Man
to Death.
HARTFORD August 2s.-Frank Louden,
forty-fve years of age, has for years lived in
Rockville. He has been addicted to occa-
sional sprees. On Monday night of last
week Louden asked Constable Hurst if he
might sleep in the lookup that night.
Hurst consented and went with him, and
on retiring locked the outside door.
Louden went into one Of the cells, where
he slept. The next forenoon he wanted to
90 out, but the outer door was locked. AT
noon Tuesday Constable Ransom arrested
a man and locked him in one Of the cells.
He noticed Louden there on cell bunk
and on inquiring he was told BY the latter
that Hurst had put him in there, though
not for any crime.
No Food.
Ransom, of course. locked the outer door
when he departed, and most emphatically
saws that the door was locked when he went
there Tuesday Hurst, on the other hand,
says he did not lock the door after he let
Louden in on Monday night.
During Wednesday, while clerk in the
grocery store overhead was down stairs, he
was asked by Louden if he could have
something to eat The door was still fast
ened and he talked through glass window
there. This being common request from
prisoners in the lookup nothing was thought
of the matter, and Louden received no
food.
On Thursday night Hurst arrested man
and put him in the station TO await trial,
which resulted on Friday in his being sent
to Tolland County Jail The constable
drove thitber with the prisoner, and on the
way the latter asked Hurst what Louden
was locked up for This was news to
Hurst, and that same afternoon he took
Louden out Of the cell The halfstarved
mans appearance was pitlable indeed he
could scarcely stand up, so greatly was he
exhausted by hunger.
Too Late.
Food was given him, but his stomach was
too weak to receive it. Now came . curl
ous part Of the case. Louden was imme-
piately brought before Justice oa q COM
plant of vagrsncy, and was sent to jail
BE was taken back to the cell where he had
spent so many miserable hours, to await
transportation to Tolland next day. Con-
stable Hurst deposited the poor man ct the
jail Saturday. where the condition Of the
prisoner was at once noticed. He was put
to bed and attempts were in vain made TO
get food into his stomach.
On Sunday Louden's condition, accord
ing to Jsilor Mckinney, was critical Dr.
Clark, however, by unremitting attention,
has been enabled to bring him to point
where today the sufferers condition Is not
hopeless, though still dangerous, Many
days must elapse before Louden viii have
fully recovered.
