Since 40 years it has been the study
of our most accomplished moulders to
perfect a Cooking Stove, which could
be equally as well adapted for coal or

The problem has at last been solved
and samples of remarkable beauty
and finish can be seen at II. Schultz,
Jr., pa +. Houston street.
Ladies and invited to inspect the
stock, no trouble to show goods. The

The Body Found.

This morning about l. o'clock, a boy
named Henry Quasso and another
boy, whose name could not be learned,
discovered the body of Walter Cook,
drowned yesterday, lodged in little
clump of bushes and reeds on the
south side of the river in the bend of
the river at Mrs. Schmidt's prOpe rty.
Notifying others, the coroner, Justice
Heron. was notified aud viewed the
body, after which he adjourned the
inquest to his office, where a verdict
of accidental drowning was rendered.
After the corOner's duty was over,
Carter & Mullaly, undertakers, took
charge of the remains, TO give them
burial. The body was very natural
looking, not at all swollen, though
one leg was slightly drawn up. The
hands and fingers were Strengthened
out. but the face was badly cut aud
distorted, by dragging along the
tver.
Harry Bull who is in the employ of
:. Q. Ball, says that he knew Cook
we'll and that they came over to-
gether from London in May 1854, ar
irving in New Orleans. From CONVEX
SatiOns that he has had with him he
understands that he has a mOther-a
poor widow-who resides in the east
cad of London, and to whom he has
been in the habit of sending part
of his earnings to contribute

taking a trip to England in the sum-

pleasure in the projected visit. He

MADRID HAS "BO0DLERS."


They Couldn't Have Been Worse Thieves
if They'd Been Born in New York.
By Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, August %, 1888. -Spain's latest
experiment. with republican forms has
proved anything but successful. -Four
years ago the citizens of Madrid, the capt.
tad and the chief city of the kingdom,
were permitted to elect a municipal gov
eminent; today the Mayor and thirty
of the City Fathers are again
e~nioying the ease and retirement of
sign owing to the discovery of gigantic
frauds by which the city has been robbed
of immense sums ever since the beginning
of this administration. w
A mass meeting of citizens was held in
Madrid last might, at which the govern
ment was called upon to arrest the re-
firing Mayor and Councilmen, and to Wig
orouSly prosecute them for wholesale
robbery OF the city treasury.
Count Toreno, member of the Cortes.
through whose efforts chiefly the frauds
were exposed, presided and in his speech
asserted that the four years of corruption,
inaugurated by the present administra-
ton, had cost the municipality of Madrid
no less than 0 0,000,00O pesatas, or about
$40, 000,000.
A large part of the city's revenues is
derived from duties which are imposed
on goods entering the city. 1t is proven
that everyone of the thirty Councilmen
who have been compelled to resign,
turned smuggler the day he was elected.
and ever since each, under cover of
his office, has defrauded the revenue
of immense sums. In the profits of this
business the Mayor is charged with hav-
ing shared and it is known that since
coming into office, a poor man, four years
ago he has become n of the wealthiest
in Madrid.
To such an extent was this business car
ried ON that, as the inquiry instituted by
the Cortes demonstrated, the returns OF
the railroads of dutiable goods brought
into Madrid by these naen are, for the past
four years, twice as greatas the quantities
for which duties were paid.
Well informed residents of Madrid,
Notwithstanding the overwhelming proof
against the parties implicated, have little
hope that the "boodlers'' Willie punished.
There is a strong suspicion tfiaU one
or two of the Ministry shared very largely
in the plumber, and that these are shield
ing their partners in crime from the just
~retribution which should be melted u tt
them.
