DR.. Harrison Says the Insane Hospital Trustees
Gave Wayne Township to Democracy.

DIR. Thomas III. Harrison, late president
of the State benevolent boards, has issued
a pamphlet in defense of the management
of the Insane Hospital under his adminis-
tration. The statements it contains are
those that have long ago been urged by the
ex-trustees and the Democratic party. and
are based altogether upon the claim that
the Harrison trustees have been indicated
by an examination of the books of the in
stitution by their successors. In the begin
ming of his defense the Doctor states: 1.-THE
hospital was not governed by civil service.
Ii was absolutely a partisan management,
as was evidenced by the fact that Wayne
township in which the hospital is located.
was changed from Republican majority to
nearly 400 Democratic within a period of
six years" Then, after filling in the con-
Meeting links with reference TO the investi-
CATION by the General Assembly of 1887,
which he characterizes as absolutely
partisan. the Doctor says that the manage
ment of the institution was mado an
issue 1888. 1.-THE Democrats lost the State"

searching for q cause. Some laid it ut the
door of the hospital. and were ready to de-
nounce the management, because the party
had been defeated. IN the face of the fact
that Wayne township had increased her
majority and saved the legislative ticket in

Board of Trade Possibilities.

The Board of Trade now has full men,
bership of 500, the first time in three years
when its lists have been complete. The
financial condition of the board Is better
than it has ever been, being in every re-
spect first-class. There is a surplus of So
600, and the income from its building is
good. Many of the members, with an eye
to the future, are looking toward the feder-
al building with view to securing that
postOffice and federal offices to a new lOca-
ton. They are of the opinion that the
pOstoffice building could be remodeled and
made available for their use, and give a
location. the centrality of which is indis.-
putable In that case the present Board of
Trade Building. it is said, can be sold to
Bishop Chatard who has long desired to
make it part of the property OF the VIM
cennes diocese, probably with view to
change the building into o structure suita-

Rejected I'm Hamilton.

NOBLEsvILLE, July 29.-The Hamilton
County Board of Education met. on Satur-
day, to discuss the new law relative to text
books. Every member was present. and
free discussion resulted in the rejection of
the new books as unsatisfactory, and not
up to the standard of the series now in use,
and it was resolved to continue the present
series until the time for which they were
adopted shall have expired, or until CON-
PEELED by law to use others. The law is re-
garded by educators as a Democratic meas
ure, detrimental to the best interests of the
school system, and the action of the board
meets the appreciation Of the public.

He was the last of the younger set of tho old

of the few owners of racs horses who never
made any bets, but entered his horses from
pure love of sport. He was an authority
on the ethics of racing and sporting
life. In the house of lords, however, he
never took prominent part. His well

that j. l.. Pridemore had been shot and had

He died in about and hour, three bullets

the cause. Madison has not been arrested
In the evening Madison showed his re-

ZANZIBAR, Nov. 6-[ New York Heral
Cable-Special to THE BEE Information
has reached Samu of the massacre OF DIR.
Peters, engineer of the German African
Colonization society, and the moving spirit
of the Vitu company and the entire expedi-
tion. The party was massacred near Kor-
korro, on the Tana river. One European,
supposed to be Captain Rust. and one Somali
escaped. The party is supposed to have
been killed by Somalis or CALAIS, though the
Massoi are also credited with the butchery.
1t is unlikely that the Massol had hand IN
the massacre, as their country IS farther
west. Korkorro is 150 miles from the coas
following the course of Tana river. The
latter forms the eastern boundary of the
British East African company. Peters, in
following the course of the Tana, established
German stations on the east bank, to the
great disgust of the English, who finally
headed him off and followed his example,
though his ostenslble object was to relieve
Emn Pasha. He lost no opportunity of ad-
vancng German interests, and thus gained
the enmity of the British East African COM
pany and its allies. Karkorro is in part of
the country beyond British influence and in
habited by the Galas and Somalis, both war.

sacre. but no doubt is entertained of the
