CHERRY HILL CRUELTY.

What Warden Cassidy Has to Say of the
Case of Convict Clark-The Man Tore
or His Clothes-Dr. Morton and MI.
Scott Quoted.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 8.-lSpecta, J.
Warden Cassidy, of the Eastern Peniten-
tiary, was seen to-day as to the charges of
cruelty to insane convicts at Cherry Hill,
preferred by DR.. Thomas G. Morton and
James B. Scott, representing the State
Board OF Charities, in the Court of Quarter
Sessions. Mr.. Cassidy said:
1--WE could keep no clothing on Clark as
he would tear it from his body. 1 decided
to put him in the laundry during the day,
where others could watch him. When the
men 90 into dinner they are locked in, but
We did not want Clark to 90 in; we thought
keeping him out would be to his benefit.
In the rear Of the laundry is small shed
we use for keeping shavings for the fire,
and on the day DR.. Morton and Mr.. Scott
called Clark was put in there, and
was lying down OH the shavings. The
door was fastened with staple. He had
no trousers on, but had on a shirt and on
his arms were leather retainers to keep him
from tearing his shirt of. He could, how
ever, tear his clothing with these on.
"When Dr. Morton and Mr. Scott came
here took them directly to where Clark
was and they said he was insane 1 after
ward took them to see Convict McCue, who
killed one of my officers, and they
said he was not insane. Why, we got a
man here last month who was sentenced for
seven years for larceny, and he is insane"

ANOTHER LABOR REPORT.

Conflicting Statements ~ to Ex-Commis-
sioner Mcbride, Of Ohio.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct 8-The Democratic
press is making the charge that the report
of John Mcbride, ex-Commissioner Of
Labor Statistics. has been pigeonholed in
the Office of the State Printer because it
shows unfavorably to the Mckinley law.
The report referred to is for the fiscal year
ending November Is last and was filed with
Governor Mckinley in January. 1t is now
in the hands of the printer. At the
time the report was filed the re-
porters had full access to the same and
a very complete abstract of its contents
appeared in the local and many of the State
papers. The next report of Commissioner
Mcbride will not be due till November 10
next The report that Governor Mckinley
has possession of the report or is with
holding the same is incorrect.
Mr.. Mcbride, in speaking of the question
Of the increase and decrease in wages,
said: ''The general tending of wages can
only be determined by careful study. Mr..
Peck, in his deductions, takes exactly the
same number of employees for both years
rather significant fact. A great
deal of juggling can be done
with such figures if one wants to do
it and still seem to be fair Peck SAYS
nothing as to the difference in productive
ness of laboring men included in the report,
nor anything as to the number of days en-
ployed You can easily see how these facts
affect the case

Terribly Dishgured in a Fight With q
Locked Out Homestead Man.
BRADDOCK, Oct. 8. - Especial - This
evening James Horner, a heater in the
Twenty-eighth street mill OF the Carnse 10
Compan v, was savagely assaulted here by
Edward McAnaliy, who is among the
locked-out men at Homestead. The affair
has stirred up the mill men hereabout very
noticeably. Horner was at one time en-
ployed as heater at the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works, and when
the sliding scale went into effect
he was one of committee that
met with representatives. of the company to
adjust the wages of the men. Some months
ago lot of heaters were laid off by the in
PRODUCTION Of new machinery. Several
DAYS later Horner was in the Office of the
company at Pittsburg with the committee,
running over the wages accounts, when it
was suggested that he accept position in
the Twenty-eighth street mill. This was
subsequent to the sympathy strike IN con-
nection with the Homestead trouble.
Horner accepted and went to work. To-
night Horner met McAnally here. They
quarreled over labor matters. In the fight
that followed Horner was so cut and
mutilated as to be hardly recognizable. The
excitement brought together q crowd that
blockaded the street. After Horner's
wounds were dressed he was taken before a
magistrate and made information against
McAnally for aggravated assault and bat
terry, but the latter has thus lar escaped the

TOLEDO, Oct> 8. 8.-[Specidk THE crimi-

greater or more sensational case than that

JACKSON, Miss. Oct S.-Senator E. c.
Walthall, whowas reelected Senator over his
published declination to be again candi-

izens at Winona to-day in a two-hours
speech. He had, he said, no word of CON-
demnation for any movement on the part of
farmers looking to organized remonstrance
or complaint The Republican policy was
eontrasted with the Democratic policv of
1850, when the farmers were the most pros
porous, eontented and independent people
in the land. The war tariff, he continued,

He discussed the free coinage of silver,
gave reasons why he supported that meas

sistency between his position and the
National Democratic platform. He dis
cussed and denounced the force bill. He
argued that the Third party could cut no
figure in the fight except to strengthen the
Republicans by weakening the forces of
the Democracy.

BUDD DOBLE AND BONNER
STILL TALKING ABOUT THAT $1,000
OFFER.

The Owner OF Nancy Hanks Says the
Millionaire's Excuses Are Puerile-What
Mr.. Bonner OYers-Defense of His Re-
fusal to Pay the Money.
NEW ALBANY, IND, Oct. al Special J.
Budd Doble, the famous horsemsn, talked
to-day upon the subject of Robert Bonner's
refusal to pay the $1,000 offered by him
some time since to the owner of the trotter
who should first reach the record of 2:O5.
Doble, after Nancy Hanks made her record
at Terre Hauts, telegraphed to Nh. Bonner
reminding him Of the offer. The million
aire editor and horseman declined to pay
the money on the ground that the Terre
Haute track was not of the regulation
variety, and that the sulkv drawn by Nancy
Hanks in her race was not Of the kind
generally used when the offer was made.
MIR. Doble said that when Mr.. Bonner
made his statement he understood him to
mean that only kite-thape and straight
mile tracks we're to be excluded. While it
is true that the Tarre Haute track is not
regulation track, Doble claims that it is
even slower, for the reason that while the
regulation has two turns and two long
stretches, the one on which the 2:04 record
was made has four turns and four stretches.
In regard to the objection to the kind of
sulky used," said Mr.. Doble, "it strikes
me that Mr.. Bonner's expressed reasons for
not paying the money are rather peurile.
Mr.. Bonner said tonight in New York in
reference to the above: II cannot believe
tina: Budd Doble made such . state
ment There has been no communities
tion between US in reference to Nancy
Hanks achievement, beyond q telegram
Doble sent me stating the time that Nancy
Hanks had made at Terre Haute. There
was no allusion to my offer in the dispatch,
which contained only the announcement
that Nancy Hanks had trotted in 2:04.
When she trotted the year before he sent
me a telegram containing almost exactly
the same words.
"Beside, my offer is explicitly restricted
to records made on the Grand Circuit tracks
from Cleveland to Hartford. which would
include Rochester and Buffalo. We know
what horses can do on these Grand Circuit
tracks, and know nothing of what might be
done on the Western tracks. Ny offer was
made last November and is to continue for
two years from that time. To the owner OF
any horse that will trot in the time and on
the tracks mentioned in my letter within
the period specified am ready to pay the
money.

GEN. WEAVER IGNORED.
He Speaks at Pulaski and Few People Turn
Out to Hear Him.

NASHVILLE, Oct. S-General James B.
Weaver, Peoples party candidate for Pres
ident, spoke at Pulaski to-day, despite the
rumor that he would be badly treated for
his alleged tyrannies in this section during
the war The men who made afidayits of
his cruelty remained away from the fair
grounds where General Weaver spoke, and
it is thought by some that this averted any
trouble. There were no more people in the
town than ordinarily come to trade on Sat-
urdays. Several Peoples party leaders
mixed with the people during the morning
and invited everybody to attend.
About 1877 people met the train on which
General Weaver arrived. A procession was
formed of 100 people, led by a band hired
for the occasion. General Weaver rode in
a carriage with Mrs. Lease and John H.
Mcdowell, Peoples party elector. By act
ual count S25 reople passed in the gates,
and the speaking throughout was devoid of
enthusiasm and fell short of the expecta-
sions OF all classes. Perfect order prevailed

LIMA, O., Oct. 81 [SreciaL 1.-The cleo
trio street car system in this city, controlled
by the Thomson syndicate, of Pittsburg,
and New Castle capitalists, has been so
operated as to cause public indignation that
will develop into legal proceedings against
the company to compel either an abandon
ment of certain franchises or compliance
with the provisions under which the COM
pany's charter was granted. The service
furnished by the company is frst-class, but
the wealthy corporation practically owns
the town for street railway purposes, and
the City Council is charged with being
under the same control
Arrangements are being made for a public
meeting to canvass the question of protect
ing the taxpayers from the authorities, and
the city streets from the ravages of the
railway magnates To-day the city is lit
orally papered with posters, denouncing
the alleged corruptions and extravagances
OF the Council. and the local press is scored
for showing fear or favor.
