Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1889-11-21

The men delved deeper into the filthy
mass and found another satche1, the
iron framework of which only remained,
and which contained a bundle of cloth
ing. A case of surgical instruments,
the steel of which was heavily coated
with rust, was drawn from the clothing.
One of the men summoned the officers
of the Sheffield Avenue station and
twenty minutes later patrol wagon,
manned by six officers, dashed over the
Evanston road. The bundle of cloth
ing, the instrument box and the sachels
were loaded on the stretcher and carried
to the station-house and thence to
Superintendent Hubbard's Office. Here
more careful examination was
made of the parcels. The leather
sachel, after having been submitted
to bath under hydrant,
was opened, and the first thing the
superintendent drew from it was book
that had swollen to more than
twice its original size. Through the
dirt on the fly leaf the name ''Dr. P. 81.
Cronin" was discernable. In another
portion of the book was a package of
cards-CrOnin's business cards-which
were in fair state of preservation.

He VIII Probably Never Present Himself
for Duty Again.
Since he was taken suddenly i'll in Po-
lice Headquarters and carried to his home,
Inspector 'Tom" Edmondson has not been
able to leave his house, and the general
impression is that he will never be able to
return to police duty.
The fact that Police Surgeon Nevin was
repulsed by Mrs Edmondson when he
went to the house to make an investi-
cation, has already been made known to
the readers of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS.
He reported the facts to his superiors, and
received instructions to make another at
tempt to ascertain the nature and extent
of the Inspectors incapacity.
Last Thursday he was admitted to the
sick room. But he was not allowed to see
the Inspector alone DIR. Baumann, the
family physician, and Mrs. Edmonson in
sisted on being present.
DIR. Nevin says in relation to this visit
''Idid not make a thorough examination
of the Captain, for / could see by his
movements at headquarters, and his
actions and talk in the house, that he had
symptoms of his old trouble. believe
that he is liable to have another attack
worse than the other one. 1t looks to me
as if he is coming down with an attack OF
paralysis of the spine in the lumba re-
gion, which seems to affect all the nerves
and cords in that region. I do not think
he will ever again do duty or even make
the attempt What is more, he has not
been able to do it for the past year"

The Madison Building and Loan Asso-
citation, the new association on the
Heights, will hold its first regular meet
ing this evening at No. 81 jackson
avenue, near Union street. 1t
is less than two weeks since
this organization was conceived
and yet it has succeeded in this short
time in obtaining subscriptions for 1000
shares. 1t was started by members and
directors of various other building and
loan associations on the Heights
with the idea of adopting a new
feature in these bodies, viz.:-to
allow all premiums to be paid in monthly
instalments, the same as The loan itself is
paid off, instead of deducting it from the
loan at the time it is made,
which is the ordinary custom,
Though this is the only association
in this city which has this feature,
it is the most common form adopted in
Philadelphia, which is the recognized
home of building associations, and also
in Massachusetts. The other prominent
feature is the reduction of interest every
three months in proportion to the amount
of monthly dues paid in during the pre-
ceding quarter. The officers of the associ-
alton are Andrew. Brannagan, president;
the Rev. H. A. Motley, vice president; AL
bert w. Myers, treasurer; Louis r. Herr
mann, secretary; John L. Keller, codnsel,
and twelve directors.

A FIGHTING POLICEMAN.
He Strips Himself of His Belt and But
tons to Lay Out the Wade's.

He Strips Himself of His Belt and But
tons to Lay Out the Wade's.
Joseph Murphy and Thomas A. Wade,
of Jersey avenue, and Alice and John
Wade, of No, 104 Brunswick street, were
charged by Policeman Quinn, this morn
ing, before Justice Stilsing, with assault
ing and battering him.
He testified that at half-past one o'clock
this morning, while he was in the
neighborhood of the Wades' house,
he heard disturbance, and when
he came to ascertain the cause
he found the two Wade boys fighting. He
undertook to separate them when Murphy
and Mrs Wade joined the other two in
giving him sound drubbing.
When the prisoners were invited to
make statement, they told a story
which, if true, places Policeman Quinn in
an unenviable position. They said that
they knew Quinn before he went on
the Wade's home on Brunswick street
grossly intoxicated, and pulling Wade
from his bed offered to whip him.
They quieted him and took care of
him until evening, when they sue
ceeded in SOLDERING him sufficiently to
enable him to report for duty.
Later in the evening he returned, they
say, and wanted to fight Wade The COM
pany was nothing loath to witness a good
s'scrap,n and decided to accommodate the
guardian of the peace. Accordingly
the policeman, the Wades claim, laid
aside his club and belt, took
off his helmet and coat and proceeded to
polish Wade off in the most approved pu-
ailistic fashion. Unfortunately for him he
was whipped, and then he proceeded to
take revenge by arresting all hands and
charging them with aSsaulting him.
Justice Stilsing paroled the defendants.

The other place within reach is the

Gordon wasn't more than half in
condition to discharge the duties of
the place when he was appointed, at
Miles Ross solicitation, three years
ago.
He has been paralyzed for the last

His bondsmen are unwilling to be
responsible for the business of de-
partment that is managed through the
agency of deputies whom they do not
know, and they have have written to
Senator Mcpherson to ask the ap-

The certainty that this place, if no
other, conld be captured at once, has
provoked most awful battle to Sc
cure it.

ing that his decision in the case of Free
holder Hennessey would be made Wednes-

care to intimate what the decision would
be, but that if it should sustain the in

would have would be an application for a

If that should be denied the case, would

MEMBERS DEMAND
TWO TRUSTEES.
There is music in the Palma Club.

There is music in the Palma Club.
Mr.. Herbert Rice, as chairman OF the
Nominating Committee, announced
ticket last Friday night. Here it is:
President William Murheid
Vice President-James G. Clarke.
Secretary George Earle.
Treasurer Charles L. CarIid.
Historian-George L. Heaney.
Trustees John Holmes, William B. jenkins,
Nelson j. H. Edge, Frank R. Baldwin and Fred
c. Wolbert.
OF this ticket Mr.. Jenkins is the only
one of the outgoing trustees who is re-
nominated. OF the officers Mr.. Clarke is
the only new name.
HERE COMES THE KICK.
For some time a numbet of the members
have been quietly advancing reasons why
Frederick E. Tildens name should beplaced
on the ticket as a proper candidate Tor
position in the Board of trustees.
When the nominations were announced
and it was found that Mr.. Tilden's name
was not on the list of trustees, there was
good deal of talk Of the members who
are regular in their attendance at the
clubhouse, a goodly majority, it is said, is
strongly in favor of seeing Mr.. T1lden's
name on the roll of trustees There are
others who think up another tree, but
take it all in all the feeling in favor OF
Mr.. Tilden as a trustee is more lhan
strong, and it is beginning to look prob
able that he will be elected,
A committee of ten, under the leader
ship of Mr. B. j. Van Dyke, prepared q
pledge which. was rapidly circulated and
extensively signed. This paper pledged
the signerS to vote for two men as mem
bers Of the Board of Trustees Frederick
E. Tilden and Frederick G. Carter.
WHY THESE MEN ARE SELECTED.
Mr.. Tilden is one of the largest con-
tributors to the club library, and perhaps
the most enthusiastic of all the club for
the success of the library. Little by little
it has been growing upon those who use
the house constantly that the library is a
mighty good part of the organization.
It is for this reason that the members
demand that he shall be one OF the Board
of Trustees
Mr.. Carter is the great, reliable, old
time standby of the club in bowling.
Many games which appeared to be lost,
have been saved from defeat by Mr..
Carter bowling three or four great frames
at the end of the game, when every one
else had lost heart and the boys were get
ting ready to pay their bets. A large num-
ber of the members believe that Mr. Carter
could almost guarantee that the bowling
championship of the Athletic Clubs
League should never leave the corner of
Jersey City and Bright streets
1t is for that reason that the members
demand that he shall be one of the Board
of Trustees.
HOW THE PLEDGE GETS ON.
The ten members of the kicking COM
rnittaa are RnniAmin T Van DYKE Robert
w Elliott, Brigadier General William +.
Albeit, John Briggs, Ernest j. Heppen-
heimer, William H. Carrick, Robert e.

the signatures of ninety-six members to

Tilden for members of the Board of Trus-

NIPSIC, CONYBEARE, TIMES.
These Are the Leading Topics of Talk in
London Today.
[Bu cable to the united Press.l ]

[By Gable to the United Pressl
LONDON, March II, 1SS9.-Considerabl
comment is excited here by the sensa-
tional reports cabled from California
sources of the destruction of the United
States war ship Nipsic by a German vessel.
The reports found few believers. however.
and the opinion most generally expressed
is that they were circulated with the OBJ
ject of arousing American public senti-
ment against Germany. Nobody here be-
heves that the Samoan difficulty will not
be amicably settled by the parties to the
Berlin conference, and in official and
diplomatic circles the circulation of alarm-
ist rumors concerning the affair is strongly
deprecated.
The Conybeare incident at the annual
dinner of the London Cornishmen Satur-
day evening is still a live topic OF discus
sion. and the honorable gentleman is re-
ceiving his full share of condemnation for
his conspicuous breach of hospitality and
violation of the commonest rule of table
etiquette. Even his friends make no at
tempt to apologize for his rudeness,
but on the contrary are foremost
in denouncing him, and it is more
than likely that he is heartily ashamed OF
his conduct. He hasn't heard the last OF
the maUUer Dy any HledIlS, stuu may pIc-
pare himself for repeated illusions to it in
the House, whenever opportunities for
bringing the matter up shall offer Them
selves.
The now evident intention of the Parneu
Commission to refrain from making an
interim report on the Parnel letters has
awakened the wrath of the Home Rulers.
and it is likely that an attack
will be made upon the Govern
ment by the opposition leaders with
government's connection with the. case Of
fhe Times This attack will very probably
be led by Mr.. Gladstone, who has already
signitied his purpose of arraigning the
ministry for its partisan course in g
matter which should have been conducted
with the utmost impartiality, and the
suuirming of some of the Ministers under
his lash will be interesting to witness.
