too freely of hard cider or other intox-
icants, to the lookup, Marshal Young
blood struck the prisoner with his
pistol severing an artery on the side of
his head near the temple, which bled
profusely necessitating the attendance
of physician to dress the wound.
The Marshal's hasty action is general
ly condemned as an unwarranted abuse
of authority. His defense is that the

weapon was used to quiet him, no in
tention being to hurt him. The father of
the young man had the Marshal arrested

appear at an examining trial Saturday.

The Republican Leader.

Our readers have seen many refer
snces to the robberies of Boss Quay,
chairman Of the National Republi-
can committee. Following is the
specifications of crimes charged
against that worthy and which he
has never denied or answered
Eleven years ago Quay took $780,
900 from the Pennsylvania State
Treasury and lost in stock gambling.
He had an associate in the transac
ton one j. Blake Walters at that
time cashier of the state treasury.
Walters subsequently drank him
self to death. Amos 9. Noyes, the
State Treasurer died not long after
ward, and his death was said to have
been due largely to his fear that
robbery might be discovered. Quay
himself was for months the victim
of guilty terror. A new state treas
urer had been elected and exposure
was imminsnt. A friend who visit
ed him at the Lochiel House in Har-
risburg found him drunk, and de-
batting whether he should cut his
throat or jump into the Sesquehan-
ma River. This friend visited Don
Cameron, laid the case before him,
and that statesman to avert scan.
dial which would have done graet
damage to the Republican party in
Pennsylvania, contributed over
800, 900 to make up the deficit. The
rest OF the sum necessary was sup
piled by Quay and Walters. In 1885
Quay secured vindication being
nominated and elected to the Office
of State Treasurer. But it was not
merely vindication Quay was otter.
He wanted another chance at the
State funds. He got it, and availed
himself of it and much more sue.
cessfully than before. To pay for
some bonds and shares Of the North
Chicago Railroad Company he took
100000 from the State Treasury
and deposited it In the Peoples
Bank Of Philadelphia. William II.
Kemble, who had been pardoned a
few years before by Quay's Pardon
ing Board, after having been convict
ed Of bribery, was president OF that
bank. The 100000 remained IN the
Peoples Bank. The Chicago secur-
titles we're delivered to Quay, who
sold them at highr figure and
pocksted the profits and restored the
embezzled funds to the State Treas
