WASHED OFF A ROOF.
Convict Ours Death Charged e
(herPiDptOu

Convict Ours Death Charged to
CherringtOn.
COLUMBUS, o., April 1S.-An evening
paper publishes a lengthy sensational
article exposing the alleged crooked.
ness of eX-Deputy Warden c. S. Chers
rinSton, of the penitentiary. 1t is
charged in this article that CherringtOn
is guilty of killing Convict Clark Ours
by washing him off the roof of
ono of the prison buildings Dec 8,
1888, and that in his efforts I'd
save himself from arrest Oh the charge
of murder, he blackmailed DR.. Clemer,
the prison physician, and Guard Seink,
and finally arranged matters so that his
tool in all these conspiracies, Charles
M. LOckard, could make his escape
from state prison. LOckard is the pris.
oner who, with the convict Thomas
Stoots, walked out through the prison
gates without pass Nov. 3, 1889. He
was recaptured about a month ago at
Elmore, 0. On his way back to the
penitentiary he leaped from the rear OF
a flying train near Shelby, and was shot
in the mouth by Marshal Woods. and
is still confined in the prison hospital.
Cherrington resigned his deputyship q
few weeks ago, and is superintendent
of a machine shop in Indiana now. The
penitentiary was reOrgaEiZed to-day
under the new officials. and it is said
that the legislature will investigate
Cherrington's case. 1t is believed that
the governor will take steps to bring
Cherrington back to undergo an over
hauling of his course. The retiring
warden. Mr.. Coffin, thinks the story re-
garding the escape of Lockard is very
likely one. He does not think. hoW-
ever, that Cherringten arranged
for the escape in order to re-
ward Lockard for the services
he had rendered him, but because
he thought that the prisoner might at
some time expose him. He knew that
if LOckard escaped he would never dare
to show up again. and his mouth would
therefore be closed forever. He also has
the greatest faith in the story told by
Lockard and the Meeks girl, the latter
corroborating Lockard, and states that
there can be no possible doubt of the
truthfulneSS of their statement regard
ing the letter received by him and the
manner in which Guard Seink was dis
charged. Cherrington was suspended
for thirty days for the untimely death
of Convict Ours, and tine developments
of to-day indicate that he will be brought
back to answer for the untimely death
of that prisoner.

CAN'T FIND THE LEAKS.
Dolph's Smelling Committee Is
Snubbed by the Senate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1S.-The
senate this afternoon disposed of the
report and recommendations of the
DOlph special committee appointed two
months ago to investigate and locate, if
possible, the leaks by which proceed
ings of executive sessions of the senate
become public. A. j. Halford, of the
Associated Press; George Balm, of the
United Press; U. l.. Seckendortf, of the
New York Tribune; +. A. Depny, of
New York Times and Jules Guthridge,
of the New York Herald. declined to
their sources of information respect
ing executive session matters. AT
forwards the committee called all the
members and employees of the senate.
the private and executive secretaries of
the president, and employees in the dip
lomatic bureau of the state department
and questioned them of their knowledge
of the manner in which the proceedings
of the senate in executive session, and
copies of treaties pending before it,
reach the newspapers. But still the
committee learned nothing and the act
i've prosecution of the inquiry was then
dropped. The testimony was printed.
and later the report of the committee

of the inquiry to establish the compile
ity of any one with the newspaper men,
and it was recommended that the latter
be cited before the senate to be dealt
with for contempt. Since that time the
committee has been practically ig
nored by the senate, the senators gen
orally having become weary of the sub
iect. But Mr.. D0lph was determined
to be heard. andfls is said that he made
an effort to secure place for the con-
sideration of his report on the pro-
gramme adopted by the Republican ster-
ling committee, but failed. This
afternoon, however, upon an assurance
that the matter could be disposed of in
a few hours, he succeeded in securing a
majority of the senators to consider it..
The report was discussed nearly four
hours, and at the close the recommends
tiOns Of the committee were rejected by
a vote of 35 to %. This, it is supposed,
ends the latest farce in connection with
executive sessions of the senate.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 1S.-A week
ago the family of Lewis Prewitt, living
near La Grange, forty miles from Louis
vile, was attacked by virulent disease,
the nature of which the local doctors
were unable to determine. Its symp-
toms were similar to those of spotted
fever, but no cause of such a disease
could be found in the surrounding
neighborhood. DR.. d. Ii. Porter, a
physician of eminence. was called in,
and at length decided that it was tor
nado poisoning" The germs, he said,
were borne on the late tornado from
some infected district, probably hun
dreds of miles away, and lodged in the
vicinity of the Prewitt homestead. He
claims that smallpox and other viru-

Gated to patients in many instances of

tell what dire disease may be lurking

ters has died, and two others and SON
are at the point of death.

FLACKISM DENOUNCED.
Judge Barrett Scores the Ex-Sher-
iff of New York.

New YORK, April 1S.-The general
term of the supreme court has affirmed
the decision Of the special term
setting aside certain confessed judg-
ments and the assignment of
Schwab d Son. lace merchants. The
sdit was brought by Blumenthal q
Hirsch, representing about fifteen
creditors, whose claims aggregated
$4,000. Judge Barrett, who renders
the opinion, is very severe in his
criticism of the sheritf's Office
methods. He says: ''Tbe sheriff's
sale was sham. The preferred cred
itors pretended to purchase the bulk of
the goods, but never paid penny or
received penny's worth of the goods.
The pretended partnership between the
brothers was as transparent as
the sale and all that preceded
it. The debtor became the
general manager of the business at a
larger salary than its nominal head,
with the authority to draw checks to
the exclusion of his pretended princi-
pals" 1t will be remembered that the
senior partner of the firm fell down a
hatchway in the store and was killed on
the day before the failure.

COVERED UP HER CRIME.
A Negress Cremates Herself and
Two Children.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. April 1s.-A
small house, occupied by E. L. Tells,
colored, at Berlamont, Van Buren
county, was burned to the ground this
morning at 10 o'clock. The fire was first
discovered by E. j. Post, who burst in
door and discovered Mrs. Tells lying on
the floor, with two daughters, aged four
years and eighteen months, respectively,
ella ped in her arms. He called to her
to come out, but instead of Obeying,
she ran and jumped for the bed,
leaving her children burning on
the floor. He could not enter the
house because Of the heat. Mrs. Tells
has been half crazy, it is claimed, for
some time, and 1t is probable that she
set the house on fire. Tells was wit
ness to the fire and death. and there is
some suspicion of foul play, but it is
not probable. 1t is more likely that she
killed her children and then set the
house On fire to conceal her crime.

GREAT WASTE OF MONEY.

Eight. hour Scheme.

Eight Hour Scheme.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Postmaster
General Wanamaker, in letter to the
house postof1ice committee about the
eight-hour bill for postoffice clerks, says
he has consulted with number of
the most practical and successful
postmasters upon the subject, and
the opinion among them is unanimous
that it is impractcable to adjust the du-
ties of the clerks so as to give each one
a tour of consecutive hours of
labor without great waste of
money. Should the committee de-
termine to recommend this measure it
seems appropriate, the postmaster gem
eral suggests, that some provision should
be made TO credit the government in all
cases where clerks and employees for
any reason perform less than eight
hours labor in any one day.

WILLING TO COMPROMISE.
Window Offers a Solution Of the
Silver Problem.

WASHINGTON. April 1S--The senate
Republican committee had meeting
to-day, at which Secretary Window was
present. The secretary said the reason
for his advocating the redemption in
bullion of the certificate issued for the
purchase of bullion was that it would
make the certificates more valuable.
To require their redemption in silver
dollars would be, in his opinion, to dis
credit them, while to require their re-
demption in gold coin might seriously
embarrass the government. He was
willing, however. as measure of COM
promise, to give the holder of the GER
tifcate an option on the currency OH
which it should be redeemed.
