Christmas Eve at the Asylum.

The inmates of the Asylum and
Poorhouse were made happy last Fri
day by well filed Christmas tree, and
had as merry a time as many people
in more fortunate circumstances. MIR.
and Mrs. Showalterhad made extensive
preparations and had spared no pains
to make the eveneng pleasant. Three
large trees. reaching from floor to
ceiling were placed in the dining room.
Two of them were devoted entirely to
the inmates, the other was loaded with
gifts for the superintendent and assist
ants. About $3.50 worth of presents
were distributed among the inmates,
the entire amount having been con-
tributed by Mr.. aud Mrs. Showalter,
the business men of Lancaster, and
friends and relatives of the inmates.
The festivities of the evening were be-
gun with music by Mrs. E. j. Willard.
'Hold the Fort was then heartily
sung by everybody. At eight o'clock
the candles were lighted, and the trees
were a brilliant sight. The inmates
were as much pleased as children. Mr..
Willard, dressed as Santa Claus
distributed presents. Everyone was
generously remembered some valuable
gifts being given. After the presents
had been examined the floor was
cleared for dancing. Joe Nathan played
the violin. accompanied by Miss Flor
ence Hill on the organ. Mr.. and Mrs.
Showalter and the guests took active
part in this feature of the entertainment
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Ryland, DR.. and Mrs. A.
Fl. Barber, Mr.. and Mrs. John Schreiner
Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Nathan, Mrs. M.
w. Showalter, Reuben Black, and
several of our young people. At 1890
the inmates retired to their rooms after
which refreshments were served to the
visitors. The entertainment was pro-
vided entirely by contributions, none
OF the county funds having been used
in the purchase of gifts or decorations.
The evergreen trees were presented by
Mr.. Samuel Walker. We heartily con-
graduate the superintendent and assist
ants their success in giving
pleasure to the unfortunate persons
under their care. We feel that the
county is most fortunate in having
such kind and capable people in this
responsible position,

unless you can directly connect the speeches of
Parsons, Spies and Fielden. and the revolver of
Fischer with the throwing of the bomb which

The theme of Mr. Fosters address throughout
was that the indictment and the evidence OF the
State did not correspond. Again and again he
declared that the defendants were not being
tried for socialism or anarchy. or even for max

murder, and no testimony competent which
did not connect the defendants with the murder

While it is generally understood that there is
a determination on the part of the Police Com
missioners to remove Captain Campbell. IL is
stated upon good authority that developments
since the charges were preferred against him
make his contemplated dismissal altogether un-
certain. When report to this effect reached
the ears of Acting Superintendent ODonnell.
he declared that If the Commissioners didn't
remove Campbell he would resign II be ad-
heres to that determination it seems quite
improbable that he will continue at
the head of the force much longer, as it is con-
ceded that if Campbell is removed the acting
superintendent cannot consistently be retained.
because the testimony is equally strong that the
latter is guilty of the same offense he charges
Campbell with. The published statement that
Commissioner Schurmann is in perfect accord
with his Democratic associates is somewhat
broader than the truth warrants. because it has
been we'll understood, oil along. that he has,
against the will of the Democratic commission
ers, insisted upon the enforcement of the laws

there will no[ be any policy outlined, but we will

neither of the great parties in England can con-
duct the government without the aid of the Irish
policy. The consequence is that no matter
whether the Liberals or Conservatives are in

rule. 1t is not our intention to oppose either of
these parties. but will insist that whichever
one is in power shall thus aid Ireland"

George Wild. Depot Policeman, Dies Under
Circumstances Indicating Suicide.

DR.. Theo Wagner received telegram from
Mound City, H., yesterday morning, stating
that George Wild, of the Union Depot police
force. had died suddenly at that place Friday
afternoon. Wild has been separated from his
wife for some time, and left this city Thursday

mother at Mound City. 1t has been known
by Wild's friends for some time
that he has been greatly depressed on accounted
his unfortunate domestic relations, and upon
leaving for Mound City. he asked Colonel D. f.
Whitcomb TO take charge of his private papers in
case anything should happen in his absence. He
had been heard to threaten suicide if his wife
refused him the privilege Of seeing his children
as she had done once before.
These facts, in connection with his sudden
death, lead to the belief that he has committed
suicide. Wild was formerly connected with the
police force, and it was at this time that the first
difficulty between him and his vito began in
