CHICAGO, April 26.-General Logan in an
interview to-day said among other things:
The Republicans are at liberty to call new
caucus, but the fact of the matter is that the
Republicans in the legislature understand
two things: First, that as long as there is a
tie in the membership of the two parties it
may not be possible for the Republicans to
elect anybody; second, that if the Republican
ranks were to be broken the probability is
that Democrat would be elected 1t is the
latter fact that no doubt influences the ac-
ton of my friends. No Democrat shall sue

my friend, can prevent it. That sHthe whole

| TERRIBLE ABUSE OF CHILD.
A Man Arrested For Starving and
Cruelty Maltreating His Crippled

A Man Arrested For Starving and
Son.
WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, April 26.-Casper
Huggler, Swiss, resides in Rocktown, on a
wife and six children, and has been arrested
charged with crime the particulars of which
furnish one of the most revolving pictures of
parental malice and brutality ever chronicled
in this country. Huggler for some time past
has been abusing his son Johnny, a lad of
eight years, in. a shocking manner and the
pitiful story of the boys suffering from his
own lips, and ccrroborated by neighbors and
by his bruised and emaciated body, has now
been heard for the first time by the public
He is crippled in such a manner as to be en-
tirely unable to walk and has barely sufi-
Gent strength to stand on his feet. The
evidence taken shows that the boy was
locked in the stable by his father for DAYS
and nights without mouthful to eat or
drop of water. In Circumstance he was SO
nearly starved that on food being brought to
the dog, which was also kept in the stable, the
boy crawled out from his confinement on his
hands and knees and picked up the crumbs
as they dropped from the animals mouth
Huggier at another time placed the boy in
barrel and kept him there for several days,
and, when the child's hunger and pain com
PEELED him to scream for mercy, the father
would become enraged, take the child by the
hair of the head, jerk him out of the barrel
and beat him in brutal manner
There is great Indignation in the city over
the affair. A neighbor entered the house
and found Johnny lying in the garnet with
no clothing on but tattered shirt. Under
pretence of taking him to walk he was spirit
ed away from his mother, brought over to
this city and a warrant sworn out tor his
fathers arrest. He is so weak and thin that
he had to be carried in arms like child He
is literally mass of skin and bones, while
the bruises and sores on his person can
be counted by the dozen. Both eyes are
blackened and sunken; on the top of his
head are two large sores caused by the break
ing of heavy sticks over his skull His
hair has been nearly all pulled out by his
father. The little legs are bruised and bat
tered, and they are SO weak as to barely sup
port the little body, which does not weigh
over twenty pounds. The arms are about
the thickness of mans thumb. After his
arrival here the boy ate with relish and is
now doing reasonably well, although physi-
clans say he is physically ruined and will be
a hopeless cripple for life The information
charges Huggler with starving the boy with
the Intention of putting him out of the way
He was locked up, and will have a prelimi-
nary hearing for attempted murder on Tues
day next.

Paris Revolutionists.

PARIS, May 26.-As many as 5000 people
went to the cemetery of Psre s-Chaise yes
terday to attend the interment of the revo-
lutionist, Gourmet. Not until the throng
were leaving the cemetery was any attempt
made by the police to interfere with them.
Then the police tried TO capture the red
flag and to dispense the mob. In the melee
which ensued sergeant was wounded with
some long pointed steel instrument. The
police were not equal to the demands Of
the situation, and had to summon the Re-
publican Guard to their assistance. 1t is
asserted that the project of police will to.
day publish decree prohibiting the use of
flags in public demonstrations. The changed
attitude of the government toward the COM
munists causes serious uneasiness, and a
general apprehension that dangerous out
break is imminent prevails. The prevalent
opinion is that the anarchists must be re-
pressed with firm hand. The rioting on
Sunday was the most serious that has &C.

Tucson, Arizona, May 26.-Advices from
Lordsburg state that the soldiers attacked
the Indians on the Blue river yesterday,
but were compelled to retreat, with three
of their number wounded. 1t is believed
that the Indians will attempt to recross into
Sonora, by way of Arizona. 1t will be i'm
possible for them to do so without coming
in contact with the troops. The cowboys,
who are guarding every pass, number fully
100. Thoroughly armed men are trailing
The Indians. Should they meet the hostiles
before they get into Mexico there will be a
fight to the death.
DENVER, Col, May ga special to the
Republican from Santa Fe says: Captain
Smith, of the Fourth Cavalry, had fight
last Friday with the Apaches in the Mogol-
Ian Mountains, twenty miles east of Alma.
The Indians were routed. Their loss is un.
known. The troops are crowding the red
skins Another conflict is expected at any
moment.

A Lunatic Running Locomotive.

MACON, Ca, May 26.-Jessup is the meet
ing point for trains of the lower division OF
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad and has a negro character known as
Crazy Bill" Early yesterday morning o
freight train of 80 cars bound for Macon was
waiting the arrival of a passenger train from
Macon. Bill stole into the locomotive cab,
blew the whistle and started off, shooting
over many switches, but keeping the track.
The lunatic ran the train FIVE miles, but was
stalled at the foot OF a hill, as the water in
the boiler ran low. The engineer, yard
master and others, on seeing the train leave,
ran after and found it at the hill. The lu
matte stopping, blew the signal for switch
man and then sat down on the end ola cross
tie and was found there by crowd, reading
his testament He was secured and no time
lost in side tracking the train, which was
accomplished just as the passenger train
came up. But for the stoppage the freight
would have met the passenger train in a
frightful collision. The lunatic was placed
in jail and will be sent to an asylum The
only damage done was the tearing up ofthe
track in the yard at Jessup.

COUPONS FOR TAxEs.-Judge Bond, OF
49, C;rou;t rourt of Richmond veaterday

COUPONS FOR TAxEs.-Judge Bond, OF
the Circuit Court of Richmond, yesterday
rendered decision which gives practical
effect to the recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court in reference to the
public debt of the State. He decreed that
when a taxpayer tenders coupons for his
taxes, he has thereby paid his taxes; that
he may deposit his coupons in court, and
the clerk thereof shall give him receipt,
certifying that by order of court his tax is
paid; that the collector of taxes is forever
enjoined from levying upon the taxpayers
property, and from returning said property
as delinquent for taxes, and that the COL
lector shall pay the costs of each suit that
he forces the taxpayer to bring. The costs
in each suit are about forty dollars. The
case of Chafhn VS.. Taylor, treasurer of Hen.
rico county, in which Taylor levied upon
Chaffin's property after the latter had de-
clined to pay his tax in anything other than
coupons, has been appealed to the United
States Supreme Court. The suit was brought
against Taylor by Chafin for trespass, his
counsel claiming that under the recent de-
cison of the United States Supreme Court,
it was mandatory upon State courts to order
jury to assess damages in these cases Of
trespass. Judge Wexford, of the Henrco
Circuit Court, refused to grant jury, and
dismissed the case.
