A Slander Case Settled.

The case of Ohio vs. Franklin OFT for
slandering Laura Donat of TuscaraWas
township, which was set for this term
of Probate Court has been settled.
There were four cases against OFT,
two ISLANDERS and two peace proceed
ings. The two ISLANDERS and one peace
proceeding have been adjusted by the
defendant paying the costs. The
defendant some years ago married Miss
Donat's sister and when she died he be-
came so infatuated with the plaintiff
that he wanted to marry her. The
plaintiff avoided him as much as posi-
BILE and was finally compelled to snub
him, and then the defendant to get even
with the plaintiff, began to SANDER her
by circulating false stories in the neigh
borhood. A warrant was issued for his
arrest and before it was served he got
wind of it through some friends and
skipped out, going to Minneapolis. The
defendant remained away for some six
or eight weeks and when he returned he
was arrested by Marshall Stall of
Navarro and put under $4,000 bond.
The only question in the case was
whether the defendant had spoken the
words. All parties conceded that the
girl had an excellent reputation. This
is the case in which John McSWeeney
was interested in as counsel for the
defendant

THE River and Harbor bill is being
commented on as high, being near
twenty millions, but it must be remem-
bered that there was no appropriation
at all last year, as the bill passed both
Houses too late to receive the Presi-
dents signature. The present bill is
therefore for two years. The bill is not
yet reported from the committee.

CHIEF ARTHUR TALKS.

In answer to a query this morning
concerning the truth of the report from
Chicago, to the effect that the Brother
hood people were alarmed at the extent
of the strike and that an advisory COM
mittee had left for Cleveland to consult
with the Chief. Mr.. Arthur said:
"There is no truth whatever in the re-
port. received dispatch this morn
ing from Mr.. HOge, chairman of the
advisory committee of the Brotherhood
at Chicago, in which he stated that
everything was quiet. He told me TO
give myself no uneasiness over the sit
uation, which, take it, thoroughly dis
proves the report that the strike is
beyond control of the engineers. If
there had been any intention on the
part of the committee of the coming to
Cleveland, Hoge would certainly have
advised me of it, and his failure to do
this is sufficient to convince me
that the report is wholly untrue.
You must not believe one half
they tell you. | regard our infOrma-
tiOn as being about as nearly correct as
any that can be furnished, and | have
heard of nothing to cause apprehension
as to any important developments at
this time, or which would cast shadow
of truth upon >the sensational dis
patches sent out Tuesday night. Every
thing is quiet and encouraging"

British Consul Plumacher of Maracaibo,

Ii is well known that revenge is uni
yersal custom and duty among savages.
If a man be hurt or killed, his family,
clan, gems, totem, or tribe must take up
the quarrel, and demand blood money or
payment in kind.
The Goaiiras carry this rule still far
ther. Mr.. PlumaclIer asserts that il a
man accidentally wound himself, break
a limb, or meet with any similar acct
dent, his mothers family Immediately
demand OF him the payment Of blood"
This is on the theory that, as his life is
not his own but theirs, he has no right
to impair it without making compensa-
ton.
The relatives Of the father also claim
the payment Of their tears. which is
Of less value. This difference of the
child's relationship TO father and mother
is a well known fact among tie lowest
