CONNELLsvILLE, Pa, Dec. Pa
very distressing sight was witnessed
here last evening. A family of eight
persons, consisting of father and moth
er and six children, were discovered in
a starving condition near Meyer, and
were brought here to be sent to the
county home. All of the family were
in a dying condition. The gaunt faces
OF the elder people and the hollow
cheeks and hungry looks of the little
ones elected much sympathy from
the spectators, but little money or as
sistance. The father and mother had
been taken ill from fever, and, as they
lived in an isolated place. the children
could procure no aid. Their condition
was accidentally discovered by a farmer
who CHANGED to visit the house. The

Thu Late Manager of tho Chicago Time
Heavily Sentenced.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-James J. West,
ex-editor of the Chicago Times, ex-
president of the Times Company and
still claimant in civil suits for a con-
trolling interest in its management,
was convicted last night of the crime
of overissuing the stock of the COM
pany, knowingly, designedly and with
intent to fraud, and sentenced to pay q
fine of ST 900 and to be imprisoned
in the penitentiary for the term of
five years. Charles E. Graham,
Vests private secretary and the
secretary of the company, and his
alleged confederate and co-defendant,
was acquitted. When the clerk of the
court read the jury's verdict West be-
trayed little emotion. The weight of
the crushing blow, however, fell heav-
lily on Frank j. Smith. the only one of
his counsel present, whose lips quivered
and whose eyes filled with tears. Mr..
Smith took a few moments to regain
command of his feelings and then en-
tered motion for new trial. The
hearing of arguments on the motion
was set foI Thursday and Friday,
January 2 and 8, 1890, pending which
time Mr.. West was left at liberty on
$15, 900 bail.

terday afternoon as the cable cars
were turning the corner of Ninth and
Washington streets William Reed was
thrown off and in falling struck the
back of his head upon the curbstone,
thereby crushing the skull and severe

unconscious by the accident, the
patrol wagon was called and he
was taken to the police station, where
Surgeon Iuen did all that was possible.
Surgeon Iuen considered that the man

Tho Russian Influenza Epidemic Spreading
Hospitals Crowded and tho Disease
Taking Fatal Turn.
PARIS, Dec. 26.-In consequence of
the spread of the influenza epidemic
the hospitals are crowded and the au-
thOrities have been compelled to make
extraordinary provision for new pa
tients. This has been done by the
erection of temporary pavilion on the
grounds of the hospital Beaujon.
In the school of the daughters of
members of the legion of honor at st.
Denis one-third of the pupils are ill and
the school has therefore been closed.
DR.. German See read paper on the
influenza before the Academy of Medi-
cine of this city, which was discussed
by other distinguished members of the
profession. He thought the academy
should not encourage the opinion that
the epidemic was without gravity. He
said that the patients were very apt to
have pneumonia or bronchitis in fatal
form.
DR.. Dujardin Beaumetz disagreed
with DIR. See as to some points in the
nature of the malady, but not as to the
fact that it was not always benign. He
believed that the epidemic was form
OF the dengue-a peculiar cratic cpl
demic fever allied to the rheumatic af
fectiOns. He had observed that it pre-
sented two phases: First, nervous
phase and next a catarrhal phase,
and that there was sometimes an
eruptiOn-a simple rash. The varieties
in the disease were due to the predomi-
nance in a case of any one Of these
facts.
DR.. Rochard suggested that the rash
might perhaps not be a sort of disease.
All cOncurred in the opinion that the
disease is not harmless and in case of
relapse the consequences are very Sc
riOuS.
FATAL AT BERLIN.
BERLIN, Dec. 26.-The public health
authorities report a great increase in
the number of cases of influenza and
an aggravation of the disease with an
increase in the death rate. The fatal
effects are produced by complications
Of pneumonia and laryngitis. In Mu-
mich the disease is increasing and the
hospitals are full.
The epidemic has appeared at Gala
tae, Bralia and Bucharest.
THE SUFFERING CAR.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 26.-The
Gar has suffered severely from the
prevailing epidemic of influenza. Yes
terday he was too ill to attend the
regular Christmas church services, and
was also compelled to omit the GUS
tomary review of the parade of the
guards. The Empress presided at the
luncheon given in the Anitchkoff palace
after the military parade.

peka.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 25.-In the
United States Circuit Court Judge
Brewer filed his decision covering the
points in the controversy between the
stockholders, bondholders and other in.
terests of the Missouri, Kansas s. Tex
as railway in the several cases now
pending in which this company is q
party. The decision disposes of many
minor questions which have been raised
for the purpose of delay, and tends tc
bring the affairs of the road to an early
settlement. The decision is very long
and reviews in detail the work of Re
ceivers Eddy and Cross, whose action
is approved throughout. It is notice
able that almost every decision is
against the company. The motion
made by the company to consolidate
the actions wherein the Union Trust
Company, the Mercantile Trust Com
pany, Russell Sage and George Gould
were compliments was Overruled. The
motion to allow $25, 900 for counsel fees,
expenses, ETC., was denied, and so on
through the list. These motions were
argued here early this month, and en-
listed the services of the ablest railroad
attorneys in the United States.
Judge Brewer, with this decision,
sewers his connection with the case in
the capacity of circuit judge, and his
object was to strip it of all dilatory
motions and place it in shape for an
early trial on it's merits.
A special report was also filed by the
special master in chancery in the case
of the Mercantile Trust Company
against the Missouri. Kansas & Texas
to hear testimony and report his find
ings in the intervening petition of
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. to recover the
cost of an iron bridge built by the
dirm in the Indian Territory.
The report recommends the payment
Of the claim in full of $26, 600.
Judge Brewer ratifies the lease by
which the Missouri, Kansas s. Texas
gets an entrance to Kansas City. He
Endorses the report of a special COM
mittee consisting of the general solicitor,
the traffic manager and the superin-
tendent of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas regarding the basis upon which
the receivers shall make their annual
report. A mileage basis is ordered.

HENRY w. GRADY DEAD.

rhe Great Southern Editor and Orator
Dies Somewhat Unexpectedly.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 23.-Henry w.
Grady is dead. Death came at $40
O'Clock this morning. It's coming had
been feared by those who had watched
the case closely, but nobody expected it
SO soon.
The scene at his home du ring the
last hours was most pathetic. 1t was
shortly after eleven O'Clock that Mr..
Everett announced that Mr.. Grady
was sinking rapidly and that the end
was near. Then it was that all
the members of the family and rela-
tives gathered about the sick bed
hoping against hope. yet praying that
the bitter cup might be taken from
them. Friends who had at the doc
tors suggestion left the house few
hours previously were hastily sum-
moned. at $40 the sick man drew his
last breath and the great heart was
still.
Mr.. Grady was Atlanta's favorite
citizen-the center of its public and So
cial affairs. Perhaps no other man
holds such peculiar place in the affec-
lions of a community as he held.
The National attention which he at
tracted by his famous speech at the
banquet of the New England Associa-
ton, a few years ago, when, with I'M
expected eloquence, he voiced the
Southern wish for National unity of
spirit and purpose as well as Of govern
ment, strengthened his hold upon the
friendship of the neighbors who already
knew and esteemed him.
Mr.. Grady was stout, black-haired,
black-eyed man of thirty-nine, and
could appear either fifteen or fifty. He
was of an elastic temperament and be-
lieved in relaxation, worked like a
Trojan and frolicked with the zest of a
boy. When he got through with his
mail in the morning he would come into
the room where Wallace Reed, Joel
Chandler Harris and the other members
of the editorial force of the Constitution
were engaged and break up their work
for fifteen minutes. Sitting ON Mr..
Harris desk he would bring everybody
around him and the audience were re-
called with jokes and a running satire
on current events. The entertain
ment wound up with the sudden
ness of company on double quick
coming to a halt. ALL at once
Mr.. Grady would put on a serious
face and retire to his room, slamming
the door behind him. With his
stenographer, Jim-an amiable young
man built like shoestring and capable
of an amazing amount of good work
Mr.. Grady was closeted for an hour or
so. The amount of work he got
through with in an hour was astonish-
ing. In few minutes he would lay
out weeks work for his staff.
To his friends Mr.. Grady was an in
tense partisan and to his enemies a
dangerous man. He worked on big en-
terprises, but could 60 through details
with amazing rapidity. His personal
acquaintance was cyclop9dic, and
he knew something about every
body. For a man with an mag
ination he could digest figures with
wonderful quickness and precision.
Grady's father was a Confederate
officer and was killed in battle when
Henry was fourteen years old.
The illness which caused his death
began with a cold which he caught at
the Plymouth Rock celebration in
Boston few days ago.

ST. PAUL DE LOANDA, Dec. 24.-The
eclipse of the sun was observed with
partial success Sunday. The sky was
clear during the first part of the eclipse
but was obscured during the totality.
The results obtained through a forty
foot photoheliograph, managed by Bige-
low, were entirely successful. They
will enable us to give accurate
connections of position of the moon in
relation to the sun. Seventy pictures
were taken before and forty after the
totality. There was no hitch in the
working of the apparatus. With extra
Photographic appliances and assistance
we could easily have obtained ], 800 pic

recorded with success.

GREENsBURG, Pa Dec 2o.-Frank
Baer, the son of William Baer,
wealthy, retired miller oil this city,
was yesterday sentenced to fourteen
years and four months in the Western
penitentiary for arson. Judge Hunter
gave him six years and two months for
burning Brinker s. Rumbaugh's mill in
this city, and eight years and two
months for destroying the Chambers
Touring mill at Latrobee, sew
eral miles from here. William
Richardson, of Pittsburgh, an accom-
plice, was given eight years and two
months. Two youths named Francis
and Hetzel, for completely in the
crimes, remain to be sentenced. The
mills in question were burned more
than a year ago, involving a loss of
over $50, 600 and financially running the
owners, who did not have their proper
ties insured. Some time before the elder
Baer had retired and turned the milling
business over to his son. The latter
was ambitious to control the en-
tire trade, which had hitherto from
many miles around been divided among
the three plants. The Chambers mill,
which was one of the oldest west of the
Allegheny mountains, was an especially
troublesome competitor. lie there
fore conceived the idea of having them
burned, and sure enough Baer's mill
had such rush of orders as it had
never known before. It's rollers were
running day and night, and still could
not keep up with the demand. The in
cendiary fires had ceased to be talked
about, when one day Frank Baer was
arrested. Detectives had secured con-
fession from prisoner in Uniontown
Jail, which disclosed the whole plot
Baer had deliberately hired men to
burn his rivals mills. promising to pay
them sums ranging up to $500 for the
job. Letters and notes were produced
as proof. Baer for a year past has
been stubbornly fighting the case in
the WestmOreland County courts. He
has been twice tried, and each time the
evidence was conclusive. His appeal
for another trial was in vain, and yes
terday Judge Hunter pronounced SEN

m. yesterday. The body was taken
from his home at ten o'clock in the

hours constant stream of people,
many of them from other parts of the
country, passed by to view the
face loved so well. There were
many. pathetic scenes. The
ceremonies were performed by
five ministers and were of the
simplest kind possible. The interment
was at Oakland. The funeral process
sion was the largest ever known here.
1t was simple outpouring of Georgians
