JONES, CHE PAYS THE FREIGHT"
He Also Places Himself with the Boilers
from His Party.

tBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
BINGHANToy. N. Y, February 20.-Ex-
Lleutenant-GOvernor Jones has sent the
following letter to Mr.. Ellery Anderson:
BrsGHAMToN. N. Y, February 10, 1892.
:" To Hon. E. Eaery anderson, Ne,c York.
Dear Sir,-It will afford me great salts
faction to enroll my name with those who
are protesting against the domination of
the machine that now so automatically
controls the Democratic party for the adj
vancement Of the selfish personal interests
of one man, regardless of the effect upon
its future welfare. But this effort which
starts forth with such enthusiasm and
vlgor as a remonstrance will but result in
still further degradation of the party if its
action is to be limited to q protest. If we
are bu. to 'grieve and groan and then
fall meekly into line. we but strengthen
the chains that bind US. We who oppose
the machine are looked upon by the politi-
cal engineers as malcontents and sore
heads. who, in the future, as in the past.
will protest and scold, and think indie
pendence aud rebellion
" But when election-day comes we will
vote the party ticket even If the devil him.
self be the candidate. Our denunciation
should be made broadly in the interest of
pure Democracy. and we but weaken our
efforts If We allow them to be construed as
being for the advancement of the political
fortunes 81 any one man, no matter how
deserving he may be in his own efforts. or
in contrast with David B. Hill.
With the hope that the grand move
ment that you have inaugurated may lead
to the destruction of the machine. and to
placing the affairs Of the Democratic party
in the hands Of tho people. ! am. yours
truly, EDWARD r. JONES'"

A MYSTERY OF NEW YORK.
Starving Children Accidentally Found
Locked Up and Abandoned.
fBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l


NEW York, February 2O.-Dr. Schultz.
of the Presbyterian Hospital staff. made
an astounding discovery in an East-Slde
tenement last night. He had been called
TO the tenement 476 east Ninety-elghth
street TO attend young girl who had
been severely beaten by her father. His
prospective patient lived on the fifth
floor, and while the Doctor was passing
through the hallway on that floor he
heard moaning. The sounds seemed to
issue from a room next to that to which
he was going.
After attending to the injured girl the
Doctor investigated the matter. He burst
open the door from which the sounds
came and pitiful sight met his gaze.
Leaning against q stove, which had APP
parently been innocent Of fire for many
days, he saw babe not more than
ten months old, without stitch of
clothing upon its emaciated body.
Its eyes were half closed and 1t
WAS moaning with pain. A few feet away
another naked child, boy less than
years of age, lay on the floor unconscious
from starvation. Crouched IN q corner,
not far from the hall door, was negro boy
about years old, devoid Of clothing, like
his companions In misery, and close by his
side, as ii to keep the warmth in his
wretched body, was a large mastih, who
feebly wagged his tail as the Doctor
entered. The surgeon questioned the
negro, the only one of the children old
enough to talk. but the little fellow was
so weak that he could hardly gasp out o
dozen words. From what he did say,
however, it was learned that the three
children and the dog had been locked up
without food since Monday night. The
boy said that q man had taken them TO the
raovt, hara H. Wava foupt sfrInnel than
of all their clothing, and locked the door
upon them
The children were turned over to the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, who will investigate the matter.
The whole affair Is shrouded IN mystery,
as the tenants of the house IN which the
children were found say they know moth
ing of the case and were not aware that
the children were in the room where they
were found. The white children found
seem. from their appearance, to be OF Ital-

THE YrFTEKN-DoLIAR CHARGE.
As to the charge that he presented bill
Of $l5 for attending . meeting of the
board In Richmond. MIR. Massey claims
that he was absent in another part of the
State attending to the duties of his Office
as Superintendent OF Public Instruction.
II so. he was entitled to his actual expenses
IN returning to the meeting Of the board.
After q careful review Of the testimony
We find that II has been the custom OF the
visitors OF Blacksburg College TO render
their bills for expenses to the treasurer OF
the institution, and they have been paid
without question; and we find from the
evidence submitted that Mr.. Massey, in
making his charges for expenses as mem
Der OF the Board of Visitors of tho Vir-
ginia Agricultural and Mechanical College
considered himself justified in dong so
from his construction of the law aud from
precedent.
Your committee are OF opinion that there
should be uniform law as to the expenses
Of boards Of visitors of educational insti-
tutiops. and that only the actudI expenses
incurred should DO paid. We, therefore.
recommend the passage Of the accompany
ing bill. w. IoyENsrrTx'
