Despite the hot weather and the

thrive and prosper and increase nu-
merically daily. There were yester-

HERE'S A PRETTY GOi
The OdOriferOus Record Of Harrl-
sons Indian Commissioner.

A Washington special to the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette, a Bour-
bon Republican sheet, gives this de-
cldedly refreshing information
The embarrassment in the case Of
the new commissioner of Indian Al
fairs, who arrived to-day, increases as
his record is examined.
1t now seems certain that the Sem
ate cannot confirm him, since he was
convicted, as the official record shows
OF an offense which carried with it,
according to the articles OF war, a
prohibition against ever holding any
office or employment in the service OF
the United States. The court found
him guilty Of false musters OF five
companies Of his regiment, but only
sentenced him to be dismissed, while
the article under which he was tried
provides that an officer convicted oil
violating Its provisions before a gen
eral court-martial shall abe cashiered
and shall be thereby utterly disabled
to have or hold any Office or employ
ment in the service Of the United
States" The court, after conviction
by unanimous vote, only recorded Q
sentence of dismissal. The reviewing
authority set this verdict aside as ir
regular, in that the disqualification
quoted above was not formally added
to the sentence. The following wal
the Endorsement, setting aside thi
portion of the proceedings:
"In the foregoing case of Col
Thomas ]. Morgan, Fourteenth Unit
ed States Colored infantry, tho cour
having found the accused guilty o
the first characterization of the Fif
teenth Article of War-had not tn
authority to change the sentence pre-
scribed in that article for such offens
and it is failure to conform to the re
qulrements OF the above article in sen
fencing the accused is an error fatal I
the proceedings and findings OF tn
court, so far as relates to the frs
chance"
The record is voluminous, and cor
tains various other very embarrassin
matters, but upon the above alone
, lis believed that the Senate will fe'
, obliged to refuse confirmation in cas-

, Office.

The Charleston Case.

There has been great deal OF un-
necessary and wholly unjustifable
criticism OF the verdict Of the jury in
the case Of Mellow, tried for the mur-
der of Capt. Dawson, the editor of the
Charleston News and Courier.
The New York Times, which is
usually very fair in its treatment OF
nearly every subject in which it takes
an interest, denounces the jury in un-
measured terms; the New York
World makes the verdict the occasion
for an attack on Southern justice"
and one journal excuses it simply on
the ground that the seven negroes on
the jury had human tight to turn a
white murderer Of a white man loose
because so many white murderers OF
negroes are permitted to go unwhip-
ped OF justice.
The New York Sun devotes some
thing more than column to review
OF the case and arrives at the conclu-
sion that the verdict of the jury was
exactly what might have been ex-
pected. Old man Dana may be little
unreliable as molder OF Democratic
opinion, but when 1t comes to the set
Element of any question in which a
woman is concerned he is authority.
He states the case in a nutshell when
he says that "as member Of his
household man way warn the gov
erness OF his children against vicious
associations and the danger of encour-
aging the advances of strange men,
though in such matter it is rather
the mistress than the master OF the
household who should venture to in
terfere with a maid servant. Men had
better keep out Of that kind Of busi'
ness, lest they compromise themselves
and aggravate the evils OF the situation
Too much solicitude about a pretty
maid servant is apt to be looked on
with suspicion in master, whether
with or without justification"
Regret that Capt. Dawson should
have met so tragic an end was as deer
and genuine as it was widespread, bu
as a man cannot be hung on genera
principles, and as Mellow probably
acted in self-defense, the opinion hai
been general that he must be acquit
ted. The young woman testified tina
J Capt. Dawson had never demonstrated
with her, nor was any attempt mad
by the prosecution TO prove that sh
had been warned. Capt. Dawson, in
> stead OF dealing with her, or advising
his wife to do so, went to Mellow
. house. upbraided him with his con
duct and was ordered out. He refuse,
to go. A mans house is his castle
Capt. Dawson struck Mellow and wa
J shot to death.
Except for the attempt OF Mellow +
. hide the body there would never hav
been the least doubt Of his acquittal.
The attempt Of the Philadelphi
Press to ring in the race question as
factor is ridiculous. The seven negroe
on the jury behaved just as the sam
number OF fair-minded Northern whit
i men would have done.
Besides, it must be remembered tha
there were facts, or it ia generally b,
lieyed there were, in connection wit
the case which have never bee
n brought out. The ending was yer
n tame one.-Avalanche.

A PitlfuI StOry.

Here Is story iull oi tears ana pa
thos, and yet il is only one of the
many that can be related OF the Johns
town tragedy;
"a pretty, pale little woman told
pant of her story to-day as she nerv-
ously clasped and unclasped her
hands, and cried in a quiet, heart
breaking way. Years ago in Virginia
Valley, somewhere near Winchester,
this sad little soul met and loved a
hard working engineer named Fem.
They married and came to Johnstown
where they had a neat, comfortable
home. Fem made good wages, their
several children were all well clad and
their mother lived with her life con-
centrated upon them. On the after.
noon of the food Fem went TO the
butchers and passed out OF this short
history in the waters. When the
food came into the Fem house the
mother gathered her chicks in the
parler and told them not to be afraid,
ss God was there and would guard
them. Up came the torrent, and they
went to the second floor, and again
the little mother talked Of hopes, bade
them to be Of good cheer, for papa
heaven rest him-would soon come in
boat and take them away. Up, up
and up rose the water, and now the
family was forced to the top story.
The rooms we're very low, and soon
the heads OF the mother and children
we're beating against the ceiling.
Mamma" said the eldest child, a girl,
"would it not be better to go outside
and die in the open air2"
"Yes DEAR" said the mother, EVEN
make a raft and all 60 down together"
She fought her and her children's way
to the window and opened it. She
caught piece of plank and on it put
the eldest child, with hearty kiss
and "God bless you" Then she let
it float away in the darkness and the
roar OF waves. Six times were those
frail barks freighted with precious
cargoes and argosies OF pious trust
The children were frightened, but
obedience was part of their creed and
they made but little protest. Now
comes the turn Of the last child, Bes

Bandits Hold Up II Train on the Fort

Fort WORTH, Tex, Aug. 6.-The
south bound Fort Worth and Denver
mail and express, train was robbed by
six masked men at 9 o'clock a. NJ, be-
tween Cheyenne and Tascosa, Tex,
about 315 miles from Fort Worth. The
passenger coaches were detached from
h locomotive and the engineer forced
to pull his engine ahead a few yards and
then walk back and force the express
car open with a pick. Express Messenger
Marsh, realizing the situation, concealed
all the express packages and put out tho
lights. and the thieves secured but three
packages of express matter, which was
but a small part of what was in the car.
The mail agent was next compelled
to open his car, and the mail
matter was searched for %valuableu. The
mail agent managed to hide the most
valuable registered packages, and the
entire mount of money secured in both
cars will not exceed $4,000. The pas
sengers were not molested. After the
robbery the bandits ordered the engineer
to pull out and fired a parting shot at the
train. They then made their escape,
