In his first annual message TO the city
council May or McConocbie seems to have
taken particular pains to lavish indiscrim-
anate praise on the heads of departments
men who owe their official position 10
the mayors appointive powers. This,
we think, will be regarded by the public
as ill-timed aud uncalled for. Those
officers who are doing their duty are
simply fulfilling what is naturally ex-
pected OF them and what they should do
without any fulsome flsttery. But when
an official is derelict and palpsbly neglect
full of work allotted to him and for which
he is paid. the mayors alteration falls on
the ear with rasping sound. On the
whole Mayor McConochie's appointments
have been good, but he should not spoil
the effect by an overdose OF "taffy."
II the mayor had said what he had to
say in about half the words, his message
would be easier to digest. In many re.
spects his ideas are excellent and deserv-
ing of careful consideration. The mes
sage appears in full in another part of
this paper.

Macomb Eagle: 1t begins to looks as
if Mr.. Gest-who is making feeble at
tempt to represent this district in con-
gress-is not going to have everything
his own way in the republican congress
sional convention. This makes the Eagle
feel very sad, as we are decidedly in favor
of the nomination of Mr.. Gest, for several
reasons, not necessary to mention. We
regret to see that Capt. Turnbull of Mon
mouth, is coming to the front in lively
manner. There may be other republican
would. be statesmen in the district who
also have the congressional bee buzzing
In their bonnets. These men ought to
stand back and give the Rock Island

1t Declares the Siayers of Leaphart Un-
known In Spite of Evidence.
COLUMBIA, S. c., May s-The inquest
over the body of Willie Leaphart, who WIS
shot to death in his cell in Lexington by o
mob of men, was held in Lexington Tues
day. During the progress Of the inquest
the following men were identified as hav-
ing assisted and taken part in the assassin
alton: F. c. Caughmar, A. Marks,
Pearce Taylor, Thomas Seay, George Kuy-
ger, and James Oglesby. The jury re-
manned out ten minutes and returned wit b
the remarkable verdict that Willie Leap
hart came to his death by gunshot wounds
at the hands of persons unknown
A Most Outrageous Case.
The case presents one of the most indie
fensible outrages ever committed The tess-
timony of the girl, Rose Cannon, was very
weak, and it has since been shown by let
ters from her that she did not know VIII D
the criminal was: also that she has stated
that she was not assaulted at all. In fact +,
the evidence upon which q respite was
granted was considered by Judge Wallace
and Governor Richardson most ample Ths
sheriff was notified that the Jail would bs

governor will probably offer large re-
ward for the conviction of the murderers
or any one of them, and the solicitor viii

DISASTER AT A FERRY.
A Naptha Yacht Capsized with Fearful
Loss of Life.

Loss of Life.
WHEELING, ". Va, May s.-The naph-
tina yacht Gertrude, used as a ferry be-
tween Wheeling and the island where the
base ball park is located, was crowded
with eighteen people, besides the two men
in charge of the boat yesterday afternoon
The game had just closed and the people
rushed pell-mell into the boat, loading her
to the waters edge. One of the tiller ropes
pulled part of one of the women's dresses
into the pulley, clogging the wheel and
rendering the steering apparatus useless.
Swept Under "A Sand Barge.
About the same time the naphtha tank
began to leak. The fuel ran down into the
generating cylinder. The engineer lost
control of his machinery The increased
amount of fuel caused the speed of the
yacht to increase, and she struck under the
sloping bow of "a sand barge and turned
over. All of the passengers were thrown
into the water and the current being very
strong, and the big sand barge causing a
suction, nearly ali of them went under its
fiat bottom The few who chung to the
yacht were little better off, for the little
boat was drawn under the barge almost
like feather There were several other
boats and skiffs near by at the time, but
they could not overtake the people float
ing in the swift current until several had
sunk to rise no more.
Nine Fatalities Result.
Nine of the people in the boat were
drowned. They are supposed to be mem
bers of gang of carpenters who were
working on the island. They came here
from Cambridge, O., only Tuesday. Will
lam English had cash cut in his head,
and his case is critical, and several others
had the narrowest Of escapes.

RUFFiANISM AT A BALL
Washington City's 400" scandalized by
Disgraceful Orgies.

Disgraceful Orgies.
WASHINGTON CITY, May s-The 400 of
Washington City are excited over the dis
graceful orgies that were enacted at ball
given at a suburban club, which is one OF
the most exclusive social organizations in
this country. Its members are among the
leaders of social movements at Newport
and Lenox during the summer seasons, and
many of them are connected with the var
ious foreign legations. Champagne flowed
like water. The majority of the men threw
of all restraint, and acted in manner
that might have done for stag party.
The Ringleader Danced the Can-Can.
The ringleader in the orgies was hand
some and accomplished young secretary of
legation, representing one of the leading
courts of Europe. He was very hilarious
and insisted on dancing the can-can 1t is
said that when some of the women ex-
pressed their displeasure and talked of go
ing home, the young secretary ordered
that the doors of the establishment be
closed and that none be allowed to leave
Then, with several other young men,
among them being some New Workers.,
clubs, set was formed, and some of the
high kicking INDUCED in would compare
with that exhibited on the variety stage
Indignant Young Women.
A young woman narrowly escaped be-
ing kicked in the face. By way of variety
the dashing secretary wound up the dane
Ing by turning somersault. He had
partaken too freely of wine to be very
steady on his feet and after alighting on
the waxed floor he slipped and fell strik-
ing on his head For several minutes he
was unconscious. Several young women
screamed One young woman, the daugh-
ter OF high official who has lately come
to Washington, and is therefore not accus-
toned to the gayeties of Washington life,
demanded that her carriage be sent for,
and threatened, if she were not permitted
to depart, terrible consequences would en-
sue. The privilege was accorded her, and
several other women followed her exam
pie. Some of their escorts were in no con-
dition to accompany them.
