President Cleveland has vetoed the act
granting the right Of way to the Fort
Smith, Paris and Dardanelle Railroad COM
pany to construct and operate railroad,
telegraph and telephone line from Fort
Smith, Ark, through the Indian territory to
or near Baxter Springs, Kan. The presi-
dent objects to the bill for the reasons
that the rights of the Indians are not suf
ficiently guarded; that the terms Of the
grant are too vague and indefinite; that
there is lack of time limit as to the COM
pletion of the road; because the RICH. of
way provided for in the bill has been al
ready granted to another company, and
that no necessity or good reason is appar-
ent why these two roads should be built
upon the same line. The president, in
conclusion, saws: Il believe these grants to
railroads should be sparingly made; that
when made they should present better rea-
sons for their necessity ana usefulness
than are apparent in this case, and that
they should be guarded and limited by
provisions which are not found in the bill

Brutally beaten to Death.

Billy Cruse was arrested and placed in
Jail at Lancaster, o., on the ante mortem
statement of his wife that she was dying
from injuries received at his hands. 1t ap-
pears that, being sick, she was unable to
get his breakfast, for which he beat her
terribly with club. Returning at noon
he found no dinner ready, owing to the ag-
from the beating. He at once repeated the
awful punishment, hooking his wife's
agonies and threatening more of his inhu-
man treatment if supper was not ready
when he came for it. His threats, how
ever were mercifully forestalled by the
poor woman's death, which resulted in the
afternoon from miscarriage. Popular feel
ing is strongly wrought up against the
fndish husband, who, it is said, has al.
ways been a wife heater.
