Inst Thursday.

Mr.. William T.. Harris. who boarded with

week, and his relatives and friends feel very
much alarmed, fearing that some serious
mishap may have befaien him.

in Richmond, especially In the West End.
He formerly carried the Whig, aud when
that paper suspended publication aud sold

now sick and confined 10 her bed.
DEPREssED.
Mr.. Harris lost bis wife about eight
months ago, since which ume he has been
very depressed in spirits. IL Will be remem-
bered that some months ago be tied heavy
weight about his body aud jumped into the
river near the Belle Isle bridge, where he
would probably have drowned but for the
interference Of passsrs-by. who went 10 hrs

times recently when he seemed bowed down
under the burden Of his grief It is feared by
some OF his friends that In moment OF TEN
porary insanity he may have made way with
himself.
LAST sgEN.
He dined with Mrs. Holland. one of bis
daughters, on Tuesday OF last week and
visited some OF his other children on Wed.

Marked Improvements I'm the Ser.

vice
In the FIRE departments OF the great cities
OF the country Improvements IN the service
are constantly being made, but no greater
advance IN this respect has been made than
the introduction Of the hose-wagon."
which. Is designed to take the place OF the
two and four wheeled hose carriages, heavy.
cumbersome, and awkward In many re-
spects.
THE WAGON IN THE DRILL.
Richmond is not behind the rest OF the
country in this respect. The department
has lust introduced bose-waQon here, aud
although 1t was not originally designed for
such purpose when built, 10 has been so
changed as to serve the purpose admirably.
Last night Engine Company No. 3 bad its
usual weekly drill. at which this wagon was
handled, and the company drilled in the ma
nipulation OF the hose from it.
DESCRIPTION.
The weight OF this hOse.vehice when
loaded will be several hundred pounds less
thln the ordinary hose-cart or wagon. and
will, il is claimed, be much easier on tho
horse. Besides this, several men may ride
without inconvenience, and are enabled 10
get into the wagon without stopping. IL is
designed TO carry axes, torches, tarpaulins.
and other appliances aud fixtures used In
he fire service.

1t now seems that II will be best eventually
TO substitute these wagons TOR hose-carts and
hose-carriages. At all events the subject Is
before the Board OF Fire Commissioners, aud
they will only act when they are fully salts
fed on the subject. The present wagon is
an experiment.
The credit Of utilizing this wagon into q
first class equioment is due principally to

AN indianapolis correspondent Of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, who is III
Democratic secrets, has this to say con-
cerning the proceedings of the grand jury:
Nearly thousand witnesses have been
examined, and upward of one hundred true
bills returned. The jury is not yet through,
but will probably conclude toward the
last of next week, although to accomplish
that result will require extraordinary dill
gence. 1t is noteworthy that in the center
of the table around which the grand inrors
cluster is the Republican political hand
book. issued for the last campaign, and
containing the names of all the committee
men-State executive, congressional, and
county. Somebody has been using blue
pencil on the book, and from the amount of
underscoring the wholesale character of
the investigation may be easily understood
We presume the blue pencil was used
by those eminent reformers, Messrs.
Claypool and Bailey. 1t will be noticed
that theirinvestigation does not embrace
the Democratic political handbook.
They are not fishing for cat.
The Indianapolis journal., 1889-01-28

In the Grimes-Bichowski case, we UNI
derstand that the confession will proba-
bly, abandon the charge of bribery and
base his contest on the alleged "dis-
tinguishing marks" on the Republican
ballots. If the charge of bribery is
abandoned it will be because the only
testimony in regard to the payment of
money to voters, and which stands un-
contradicted, was of the payment by
Grimes in person. The alleged 's.dis-
tinguishing marks" in the Republican
ballots relate to the thickness of the pa
per. That is they were somewhat
thicker than She Democratic ballots, and,
assuming the latter as a criterion, the
Republican ballots were illegal. BY
this standard they would have been
equally SO if they had been thinner than
the Democratic ballots. Thick or thin
will make little difference to the Demo
cratic majority. 3-J

The SchOOl-BOOk Scheme.


The howl by the Democratic press of the
State about the school-book ring is ex-
planned. Senator Mullinix has introduced
a bill providing for the publication of a
series s;I1 OF school books by the State. The
book bureau of printing and engraving
The schOol-bOOk bureau is to consist of five
members who shall receive s. day and
travelling expenses. These commissioners
are to he chosen by the Legislature, and
would of course be Democratic politicians.
They are to select three educational ex-
perts.
Also, at s. day. to compile a new set of
school books. These experts would doubt
less be three played-out Democratic school
teachers, and the books they would COM
pile would doubtless be the worst ever is
sued. The bill, if passed, will saddle on the
State, worse state of affairs, as far as
school books are concerned, than can be
imagined. Better endure the ills we have
than flee to any such scheme for relief.
The Indianapolis journal., 1889-01-28

The system which places the entire ap-
pointing power in the hands of the May
or, and makes the Council purely legis-
1ative body, is one of the leading features
of municipal reform in a number of
cities, as the Journal recently pointed
out, and has much to commend in it.
The Mayor is thus made responsible for
the action of his appointees and the
work of the various departments of the
city government, and is, of course, much
more likely to proceed with care and to
promote public interests than is a cOun-
Gil which has authority, but whose in
dividual members are able to shift the
blame for any official misdoings. IT ii
be true that the legislative committee
on municipal affairs is considering a
measure of this character they will do
well to give it careful thought. If, how
ever, the Mayor is made only partially
responsible, and the police, fire and other
departments are all to be controlled by
boards, either elected by the people or
appointed by the Legislature or Govern
or, as has been suggested, the change
will only be less Objectionable than the
Curtis bill, and matters would much bet
ter remain as they are. Such an ar
rangement would complicate the gov
ernment and make the authority less
centralized than now.

PRINCE BIsMARCK's statement in the

Samoa as well as IN Africa, seems to
point to an understanding between them
In regard to their colonial policies. If
this is so, it does away with the idea
that England does OF would side with us
In the Samoan matter. The whole sub
ject is befogged with mystery and mis-
information. What the American peo-
pie want to know is what rights they
really have In Samoa, and to what ex-
tent they have been disregarded or in
terfered with. On both these points the
State Department shows lack of infor-
nation and imbecility of action.

THE New York Sun favors an ap-
preparation for the establishment and
protection of American interests in
Samoa, and says: eff S500,OO0, or even

the whole record of Mr.. Cleveland's ne
gotiations with Prince Bismark's gov
ernment concerning the Samoan question
during the past three years, the purchase
would be worth the money! Unfortu-
nately, that cannot be dooe. The peo-
pie, however, would like to know the
inside history of the diplomatic monkey
ing that has been going on, and just to
what extent the national honor or inter-
ests are involved. 1t is evident that
Bayard has been making bad mess of
it, but let us have the facts.

very careful to steer clear of anything
tending in that direction. But their
drag net has been thrown out in all di-
rections, and hundreds of witnesses
brought here at great expense to pro-
cure the indictment of Republicans.
William Owen, of Sheridan, is one of
the indicted. On Saturday he was ar
rested at his home, brought to the city
in irons, and locked up in jail. He is
charged with illegal voting, but denies
the charge. He is poor and illiterate,
but talks like an honest man. AT all
events he had no idea of evading arrest,
and there was no necessity of handcuff-
ing him or putting him in jail. Even
after Coy and Bernhamer were convict
ed of crime they were never handcuffed,
and these same Democratic officials
treated them with distinguished consid-
Grafton. We do not know what the evil
dence against Owen is, or whether there
is any. He seems to be without money
or friends, and therefore fit subject for
persecution by the legal bullies and bull
dozers who are now outraging law and
justice in the district attorneys Office.
