WHOSE BODY is 1T.
A Laborer Fatally Injuries Him
self in Falling.


Shortly after 10 O'Clock this morning
two men, named William Childs and
W. A. Tylerl reported to Officer Lou
Garbin, of the Eagle street beat, that a
man was lying dead at the foot of
the steps leading up to 70 Eagle
street. The house referred to
is conducted by woman named
Alice Courtenay. alias Williams, and is
of questionable character. Officer Gal
vim proceeded to the spot and found the
man as described. He lay on his back
with both arms extended at right
angles from the body. Blood
was issuing from his nose
and mouth. The body was
lying with the legs on the stairway and
the head and shoulders on the walk
Mrs. Francisco Ranzinger, living at n
Eagle street. stated that she heard the
man ascend the stars and then
fall heavily. She heard nc
further noise, and thought thai
all was right. Efforts to identify the
body proved unsuccessful. The de-
ceased is about thirty-flve years of age,
evidently a laborer. The remains were
removed to the morgue, where they
await Identification.

New York Sun.
A few years ago sturdy old Chinese
general and viceroy died in Canton who
was noted for having his own way, no
matter what the authorities at Pekln or
even the emperor himself wanted.
Chang Chin-tung, the new viceroy of
Human, is now emulating the famous
generals example. His imperial mas
ter in Pekin recently increased the tax
on opium. The viceroy of Human de
cided that the tax was too high and that
the opium-raisers of his province need
not pay it. He therefore issued proc
lamation informing 9he people that the
posed would not be collected, as he con-
sidered the old tax high enough. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether his disregard
for the imperial order will get him into
: trouble

ROYAL RASCALITY.
A Young Inmate of the Cleveland
Street House COnfesses.


SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. S.-Herbert
John Ames, aged nineteen, who was an
inmate of Charles r. Raymond S
notorious Cleveland street house
in London, and who escaped with
Hammond to this country. to-day made
a sworn statement concerning the place.
Hammond is under sentence of two
years in the peuitentiary for grand lar
ceny, and the boy, who claims to have
been heretofore afraid to tell the
story because of Hammond's threats of
personal violence, now tells it volun-
tarily. Ames was secretary for Ham
mend and says he wrote many letters
last year to noblemen, demanding
hush money. He says about twenty men
visited the Cleveland street house regu-
larly. Many of them were introduced
under false names, and the real names
of some were never known. Among
the freqaenters of the place who he
coulc identify, the boy names an earl. a
lord, law officer, physician, a capital
ist and captain in the army.

improvements Of Albert Lea do not ag-
gregate as large as most years, the
total being $4,000, but they illustrate a
very healthful development, and the
showing is.very satisfactory. The prin-
cipal improvements consist of the splen-
did Lutheran high school building, a
fine brick block, considerable enlarge
ment of one of the Touring mills and
several especial good residences.
There are no de sirable vacant stores or
dwellings, and the general prosperity
and progress of the city has been all
that could be expected. The city has
over $1,000 surplus in its treasury, and
a good pointer is the fact that there has
not been business failure during the

three of them and was taking them to
prison. Bones, who was one of them,
broke away and was shot by the officer.
1t is now feared that general uprising
of the tribe in this vicinity will result,
as there have been numerous threats
and signs of an outbreak. The>shooting
OF Bones will add fuel to the flames.

The roll vas called with President
stebbins in the chair. Everything gave
way the first thing for the eonptrolier's
report. which reconalpended the allow
ance of accounts to the amount Of
$9254.02.
Appeals on assessment rolls for grad
ing, graveling and improving Fairbanks
ct, wealthy-ave., First-st- and Deiong-
ST., were presented 10 the council. and
on motion, further consideration was
postponed for one week. Also tie clerk
was instructed To do the necessary ad-
vertising relAnve TO sewer in East Full
ton-st., from Grand-ave. 10 the city
limits.
The marshal WAS instructed to order
y suspension OF the building of the bay
windows i'm the building now erecting
at the corner of Monroe and Spring
SITS. by reason Of noncompliance with
the ordinance concerning the use of
galvanized iron.
An engine house at the corner OF
Quarry and West Leonard-sts. was de-
clared TO be q necessary public I'M
provement.
Alderman Sproul moved that the
Board Of Public Works be asked for
water mains in Grand-ave., because the
walls in the vicinity OF the Fuiton-st.
cemetery are contaminated.
AT tins point, a motion TO adjourn
caused some apprehension IN the
breasts of those who did not under
stand the movement and its cause.
Some thought it to be a magnificent at
tempt at parliamentary tactics. Dur
ing roll cali, Alderman's Tateum's
name was reached far down the
list, and when already enough
yeas had responded to bring
about the adjournment, with votes
enough to spare for another adjourn
ment next week, Mr.. Tateum asked
leave to explain his vote, and pro-
ceeded to debate the question OF adj
iournment with great skill. He thought
that the near approach of the time for
presenting the charter amendments TO
the Legislature should forbid further
procrastination. Ii any members OF
the council desired to retire, they
might be spared, but the council itself
ought to continue sitting.
The president then remarked that,
inasmueh as already votes sufficient 10
carry the motion had been given, he
would have to declare the council ad-
journed. Yet he thought there would
be no objection to any alderman's
gratifying an inherent desire to remain
longer.
The members then made a grand
rush for Hartman's Hall to see the
great and the only Henry NJ. Stanley.

GEN. MILES IS NOT KILLED.
The Report of u Great Battle Is Doubt.
less = Canard.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-rhe Evening Mail:
extra late this evening has under the
date of Rushville, Neb., news from
Pine Ridge, announcing that battle
WAS in progress and that Gen. Miles
cavalry had an encounter early this
morning, resulting in Gen. Miles being
killed, and with a heavy loss both TO
cavalry and savages. Nothing confirm
ing the report of a serious engagement
north of Gordon, Neb., has been re-
celved at army headquarters, this city,
and Capt. Higgins, who is in charge in
the absence OF Col. Collins, does not
believe that anything more than a
skirmish has occurred. Concerning the
reported death of Capt. Miles, the. cap
tain says that the earmarks of canard
are SO conspicuous that no one should
be deceived. He had received
no advices from Pine Ridge
or vicinity up to 9 o'clock
this evening, circumstance of good
portent. Gen. Miles remains at the
agency, with force of 2500 men im-
mediately at his command or within
easy supporting distance. The entire
force in the field, exclusive of the IN
dian police, numbers between $500 and
1000 men.

The Audience Small But the Interest
Intense.
Mayor Uhl introduced Mr.. Stanley,
at Hartman's Hall last evening, and
for an hour and q half nearly 700 peo-
pie listened to the recital of the strug-
giles. triumphs and disappointments of
the terrible journey through Africa.
There waslittle, if any, applause. There
was no effort to obtain it, nor pause
in the lecturers remarks to await
its coming. The talk was a strong,
steady flow of plain English, with few
gestures and no striving after descrip-
tive language. So plain and even was
the speakers voice that only the
closest observers could detect any
show of personal feeling in the
whole narrative. Once or twice there
might have been an added intensity in
the tore, a deeper glitter IN the cool
eye that rarely manifested any feeling.
the friends and relatives of Barttelott
and the actions of some of the men
who accompanied the expedition either
all or n portion of the way.
When the lecturer closed not an ex-
preston of dissatisfaction could be
heard, save perhaps among those who
occupied seats that gave them view
OF the gray veteran on the stage, but
did not enable them to hear all that he
said.

abruptly to catch train, the number
became the ecciesIastical twelve.
Rev. w. H. Thompson, the newly

the honor, but the conference declined
to excuse him; whereupon he took the
pencil IN the spirit of resignation,
though he could not compass the literal
accomplishment of IL. Rev.y. /. Buell.
the new president, was more successful.
He gave reasons so urgent for not serv-
ing another term that his wisnes were
respected, and his resignation was sc-
cepted. Rev. A. Pollard was then
elected president unanimously.
The conference accepted the offer Of
the free Use OF rooms, rendered by the
Y. NJ. G. A. A vote of thanks was
rendered the pastor and people OF the
Eountaln-Street Church for the use Of
the rooms 50 long enjoyed.
