GREED OF GOLD
Upon the Part of Scheming and

Causes An Epidemic of Disease in the
Dominion Capital, and Spreads
Death Among Hundreds
Other News.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 29.-[Special. y
Diphtheria and typhoid fever are pre-
Vailing to an alarming extent in this
section of the Dominion. Every town
and village has been visited by either
one or both epidemics, and the death
rated during the month just closing
from these causes, is unprecedented,
Parliament opens next month and 1t is
feared that many members and senators
will refuse to put i'll an appearance
on account of the unhappy state of the
city. The water works and drainage
system of the capital, which were CON
structed at an enormous cost, have been
found shockingly defective through
carelessness of the city engineer and
dishonest contractors. A commission
has been appointed to hold an investiI
CATION. Water supplies to the city are
being drawn from the vicinity of the
creek into which all refuse of a tannery
is emptied and which analysis shows to
be terribly polluted. 1t is serious
blow to the city, which presents a de-
serted appearance.

Simply Slow in Settling.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Jan. IA sensa-
ton of no small proportion was devel-
oped among the Knights of this city, a
day or two ago, by the rumor that j.
w. II. Coles, Post Grand Master of Ex-
chequer was short in his accounts to
the order. Grand Chancellor of Ohio,
S A. Court, of Marion, Grand Keeper
of Records and Seal. w. b. Kennedy, of
Cincinnati; Grand Master of Exchequer,
0. P. Snyder, of Tif1in, and supreme
Chancellor Howard Douglass, of Gin
cinnati, came here to settle the affairs
of the Exchequer. Mr.. Coles still owed
the Grand Lodge $500 and he paid
over to his successor MI Snyder, that
amount. Mr.. Coles is one Of Spring
fields most prominent citizens, and
there is no belief on the part of any
body who is acquainted with the facts
in the case that there was any criminal
intent on his part He was simply slow
in making his settlement. Mr.. Coles
gave Mr.. Snyder $500 in cash and a
note for $500, amply secured.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 30.-[Special. :
Considerable criticism is being inaulged
in concerning the royal manner IN
which E. L. Harper, the convicted Vice
President of the defunct Fidelity Bank,
is being treated at the penitentiary.
The prison rules are being arranged
it seems for his especial benefit, and he
endures but few OF the Iigors of con-
fnement. Contrary to all custom the
distinguished criminal has not so far
been compelled to feel the disgrace of
having his hair and muStache clipped
The officials say that the shaving need
n 1t be done for some time. He indul-
ges but little in the coarse fare of prison,
being supplied with good table by his
family in Cincinnati. He has the run
of the institution, going whittier he will,
and in order that time may not lie too
heavy upon his hands, does the clerical
work in the Office of Secretary Clement.
His cell is fitted up in royal style,
although when first admitted he was
informed that he would be allowed
nothing beyond what was furnished
ordinary prisoners of state.

There was grand jubilee of saloon
keepers last evening, when it became
generally known that Recorder Daven-
port had declared the sunday closing
ordinance unconstitutional. The Re-
cOrder considered at great length the
right of the Council TO give the record
er the power of imposing greater pen
alties Than those allowed by the city
charter, and held that the Council did
not have any such power as that. a
part of the ordinance being VOID, the
whole was, and revocation of license
was intended as part penalty and could
not hold. The Judge referred to the
fact that | 200 signatures had been OBJ
tained pledging HIM support i'll case he
upheld the ordinance and he stated he
could only decide the way he thought,
whether public opinion was with him
or not. The case will be taken so the

element.
