REPUBLICANS GETTING TOGETHER.
Knockdown fight Between Well-known
Republicans I'm Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-COl. Dan
GroSvenor and Harold Megrew, two
members of the Ohio Republican Asso-
citation in this city, touched elbows" on
one Of the principal thoroughfarcs last
night, and the result was a shattered
door panel and two lovely black eyes.
Dan Grosvenor is a brother OF Gen.
GroSvenor and Is chief of division in
the Treasury Department. He Is an ar
dent Sherman man. Megrew is an ex-
official who formerly resided at Zanes-
vile and Columbus. He is a close per-
sonal friend of ex-GOv. Foraker, and al
ways took an active part in the cam
paignS in which Foraker figured. There
had been bad blood between the two
men for long time growing out OF sew
eral attempts of the Foraker men to
capture the organization. Grosvenor
had made some rather serious charges
against Megrew, and when the latter
met him last night he asked GroSvenor
il he was ready TO apologize. When
GroSvenor responded in the negative
they went at each other London prize
ring rules and after several exchanges
Megrew landed Squarely between Gros-
venor's eyes and knocked him through
a glass door. The crowd then calleu
time. As result of the Scrapc Gros-
venor is wearing mourning on his OPP
tics. Notwithstanding everything that
has been said to the contrary, j. seams
that the Sherman and Foraker men are
getting together.

How the italian Government Has Treated
This Country.

ROME, April 2O.-The newspapers OF
this city are complaining bitterly OF
what they term the leisnrely manner OF
Mr.. Blaine in replying to the communi-
cations OF the Italian government rela-
tive to the New Orleans affair. They
seem TO forget in Italy that upon the
means sf communication between gov
ernmentS it takes three weeks for Italy
and the United States TO exchange COM
munications. They also seem TO forget
that the United States has just as good
grounds for complaint against the
Italian government as the pa
pers claim the latter has
against the American Secretary OF
State. Take for instance tie case OF
the Italian Saltwater Paladini. The
American government demanded that
this offender against the laws Of the
United States, who had fled TO Italy be
extradited to stand trial upon the
charge OF counterfeiting. The italian
government two weeks after the de-
mand asked the American Legation
here what citizenship Paladini claimed,
whether American or Italian. In re-
sponse to this question the American
Legation stated on the same day that
the request for information was re-
ceived, that Paladini, claimed to be an
Italian subject This was the last
heard of the matter for two
months. when an answer 10 the United
States governments request for the ex-
tradition OF Paladini, the Italian gov
ernment stated that the constitution
and laws OF Italy did not allow OF the
carrying out of the treaty existing be-
tween Italy and the United States, so
far as the extradition OF Italians were
concerned. Italy again took this posi-
tion relative to the Italian constitution
and laws when the United States subse-
Quently demanded the extradition OF
two Italians who were implicated In the
murder of Paymaster Mcclure, an en-
ploye Of a contractor, who was en-
gagged in constructing a railroad near
Wilkesbarre, Pa, and Hugh Flanagan,
another employe Of the same contractor,
who were killed and robbed OF sum OF
money which the paymaster had to pay
laborers, and for which crime a third
Italian was convicted and executed by
the Pennsylvania authorities. His two
accomplices made their escape from the
United States and returned TO Italy,
but the Italian government refused to
surrender them for trial, basing its re-
fnsal on the ground that it would be
extra constitutional to surrender Italian
subjects for trial in foreign country.

\ HEAVY WOMAN.
Mrs. Ranerty's Corpse Had to lie Low
cred From "A Window.

New YORK. April 2O.-The funeral of
Mrs. Bridget Rafferty,. the wife OF
Thomas Rafferty,. mason, which took
place from her late residence, No. PA
Stuyvesant avenue, Brooklyn, attracted
more attention than funerals ordinarily
do.
The RaiTertys occupied the top floor
of the tenement, and it was from a win
dow, by rigging OF block and tackle,
that the coffin was lowered to the hearse
below. In life Mrs. Rafferty, was a
woman OF immense proportions, being
over siN feet tall and weighing close to
four hundred pounds.
The coffin had to be made 70 order.
1t measured twenty inches in height,
three feet wide and six feet six inches
long. The doors OF the house were not
wide enough to admit of ITS passage.
and Messrs. Brown & Davidson, the
steeple builders, were engaged to re-
move the corpse by the window. This
was accomplished by removing the
saSheS, leaving only one-eighth of an
inch to spare. it required the united
efforts of eight men to place the body in
the coffin and five men and an impro-
vised derrick on the roof to lower it to
the ground

THE KIDNAPPERs.
More Of the Springfield Child-steslers
Arrested-Niles In 1t.

SPRINGFIELD. o., April 20.-The ar
rest Of DR.. Niles, Mr.. and Mrs. Cutler
and Miss Talbot, for child-stealng, Is
the sensation OF the hour In Springfield /.
1t has been ascertained that Detective
John T. Norris left last night for Howell,
Livingstone county, Mich, instead Of
Vermont, as first reported.
II is said that Niles parents live In
Vermont, and 1t was supposed that the
children had been taken there, but this
afterwards proved 4 mistake. 1t seems
that the Talbot woman cut of the curls
OF the little boys. dyed their hair black,
and dressed them as little girls. This
was easily done a. the children are only
four years and fourteen months old
respectively.
The plot was given away by certain
party who squealed. Just who this
party was can not be ascertained, as the
sheriff and officers refuse to give II
away. It is supposed that Niles fixed
up the whole scheme during his fire.
quent visits to the children.
The offense Is an exceedingly serious
one, as the law provides for imprison-
utul VI out W bntuNl fNui ih WIZ pun
tentiary for all parties implicated in
child-stealing. The courts have rigidly
enforced these child-steaing laws ever
since the Charley Ross case, and the
chances are that II will go pretty hard
with the parties now In jail.
Great sympathy is expressed for the
women who were induced by DR.. Niles
TO lend themselves TO his scheme, be-
cause 1t is believed that they had no
Idea what their legal responsibility
would be in case they were found out.
The Talbot woman lives in the other
side Of the double house on East North
street, in which the children were kept,
The children were In the custody OF the
Sheriff at the time they were stolen, as
the journal entry on the Court records
shows. This makes the offense genu-
inc case of child-stealing.
Miss Maggie Bruner and Mrs. Kate
Bachelor were arrested this afternoon
for completely IN the Niles children
stealing. They were not jailed. but
were released on their own recogniz-
anceS. They made confessions, In
which they gave an interesting account
of how money was paid for the stealing.
The money was placed on a table In
Niles Office and was taken by Mrs.
Bachelor without word except by
signs. She then put it on table in her
house and the parties who stole the

A SIGNIFICANT MEETING.
The First white Republican Convention
Ever Held In south Carolina.

CHARLESTON. :. c.. April 20.-The
recent meeting in Columbia OF the white
Republicans Of this State has caused a
tremendous sensation. A. w. Clayton
a prominent white Republican, who was
instrumental in getting up the move
ment. is ont In card to-day, in which
he says "The object Of the convention
was to form a Republican League IN this
State a. branch OF the National Re
publican League, and to elect dele
gates to the Cincinnati convention
OF said National League. We recognize
as fully as the gentlemen at Washington
that the whites Of this State cannot join
party led by Smalls, Miller and
equally offensive Republicans. Our OBJ
iect is to form nucleus around when
white men may rally on protection, pal
lot reform and the money question, lg-
noring the race question only to afford
the negro his rights as an American
citizen.
There IS more in the movement here
than a mere flash in the pan. The
meeting was the first dlstinctlvely white
Republican convention ever held in TINS
State. The presence Of large number
of prominent white men who have here
tofore been leaders in the councils oi
the Democratic party makes il especially
significant at this time.

are ILhumsniy Treated.


ST. Louis, April 2O.-Thc special
committee appointed by the House TO
investigate reports OF brutal treatment
Of convictS in the penltentiary at Still
water reported this morning. The
committee examined three witnesses
who tried TO escape, and finds the at
temptS was due to the system Of work
ing convictS aud citizens together.
After re-capturing Prisoner Douglass,
Deputy Lemon struck him severely,
and the wound had not been dressed.
Several days later Lemon also broke a
cane over Prisoner Anderson by re-
peated blows. The three men were
treated To ball and sock and solitary
confinement for sixteen hours, and Sn>-
pended by handouts through the
bars OF their cells during the entire
time. After rest OF six hours they
were suspended for sixteen more hours.
On the third day OF this treatment the

pended iifty-one out OF siXty-Seven

meted out to others for trfling 0tienSeS.
The SOLITARY" was in filthy condition
and not fit to put cattle In. II is com
mon to punish men by solitary coniine-
ment with suspension for from two to
five days, and even longer. The com
mittee finds the present mode OF punish
ment brutal and inhuman, and believes
il should be discontinued. Deputy
Warden Lemon was found cruel, brutal
and inhuman in his methods, and unfit
for his position. and the committee
recommends his immediate discharge.
A resolution was adopted, instructlng
the institution to provide more hu-
