OLD NAN Brutality TREATED.
Chained in Cold Room and Left to Die-Two
Children Locked in With the Body.

JOHNsTOwN. Pa. April ia German
farmer named Albert Zitman. living a few
miles from this city, has been lodged in
Jail charged with inhuman cruelty TO
Fritz Blombezuck. aged eighty years The
latter was given food and shelter by Zit-
man few months ago. and in payment did
such work as his age permitted. Last
Tuesday Litman drove into town with prod
uoe for market. and told physician that
he believed old Blombezuck was dead. DIR.
George Martin drove ont to the place and
found fearful condition of affairs. The
old German lay dead. face downward, on
some straw in a cold room. Dr. Martin ex-
amined the body. and found that the man
had been dead st least two days. Humane
officers at once took hold of the matter, and
learned that the two children of Zitman
were nearly insane from having been
locked up In the cold room with the body
OF the dead man. Evidences of ropes and
a cham lying in the room aroused suspicion
that the old man had been tied to tho floor
aud an examination of the body showed
whore the bonds had cut into his flesh. Zit-
man was arrested on the charge of cruelty
and was smuggled into jail to prevent n narsh
treatment by q mob.

GOOD TIME TO INVADE BRITAIN.

English Generals Give n yyoeful Picture or
the Condition of the Army.
Icopyright by the New York Associated Press.1
LONDON, April l5.-The revelations made
in evidence on the state of the British
army given. before the committee Of in
quiry, presided over by Lord Vantage.
have been tho sensation of the week. The
recommendations which the committee
previously published were q series of cry
and formal proposit ions. indicating Moth
ing of the extraordinary statement of the
leading military chiefs. These were Of
such O nature as will lead TO the most
active agitation In Parliament as soon AS
the recess is over. a group of military
members of the House of Commons has
already seen War Secretary stanhope pri-
vately. and extorted from him a promise
that the government shall not obstruct q
full discussion and consequent reforms.
The generals examined concurred In the
opinion that there was hardly a single in
fantry battalion at home effective. AGlt-
Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood declared that so per
cent. of the men encamped at Aldershot
were unit Tor camp duties; that they could
not even do days service on account OF
their youth and lack of stamina, and that
the only practice be dared 10 put such men
to was, two hours carrying the pack or
sentry duty.
The Duke of Cambridge commander.in-
chief. said that If called upon TO mobilize
two army corps on short notice. the authOrl-
ties could not do SO. and he did not think
it posi- ole to moboliZe ono corps composed
of twenty-five battalioDs OF infantry.
Lord Wolseley. in response TO q question
whether the batTalions. they now stand.
would be fit for home defense, replied: If
We were invaded to-morrow they would be
bcttor than nothing" He held that the
volunteer force was the most important
factor in defense. The Duke of Connaught
said: Il am perfectly certain that II the
battali0ns under my command. at Porte
one half of then. would not be allowed To
90 on account OF uDtitness."
The main cause of the weakness of the
home battalionS 10 stated To be depletion
of their best men for foreign anu colonial
service. Lord Wolseiey likened the home
forces to a squeezed lemon. The Duke of
Connaught held that grown men would not
JOIN the service, OwipR TO the fact that
wearers of the Queens uniform are socially
ostracised, and also because soldiers are
wantonly burdened with excessive sentry
duties. He told how, having noticed tho
numerous guards employed at Windsor
Castle OH sentry duty. he had induced tho
Queen TO ask the authorities TO reduce
their number and otherwise TO relieve the
, men. but the authorities would not assent
until strong pressure was brought TO bear.
The Duke of Connaught related a number
of instances showing the contempt IN
which the soldiers uniform is held. IN one
case drummers refused TO drink At
| steamer bar beside sergeant, and IN other
| cases inns closed their rooms 10 guards. In
regard TO methods of reform. there was a
| consensus OF opinion that a substantial ln-
crease of the strength of home battalions

MINNEAPoLIs. MIMI. April 15.-Mr. Ad-
Ter. the architect in charge of the Repub-
lican hall, was here to-day and visited the
building. In an interview he said THE
work of preparing the Exposition Building
for the Republican national convention
has been pushed forward with great energy.
The hall is almost ready. requiring only
the seats to be placed and the decorations
applied to make it ready for opening. 1t
pleases Gil who have seen it. and will un-
dOubtedly prove to be the best convention
hall this country has ever had. The
rangements for inCress and egress are more
convenient than those of the Chicago Audi
torium. The representatives, of the press
will be very well cared for by both local
and national committees. The space allot-
ted for their use seems ample for all who
have actual work to do"
