CRUELTY.
The Commander of the Adams charged
With Abusing an Apprentice.

The Commander of tho Adams charged
With Abusing an Apprentice.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-The Morning
Call publishes a long sensational story
TO the effect that charges Of extreme
cruelty will soon be preferred against
Commander Thomas Nelson, of the
United States steamship Adams. It il
said that Executive Officer Adams and
Master-at-Arms Heating, will also be
included in the charges. It is alleged
that under Commander Nelson's
orders, Adams and Heating so
cruelty tortured an apprentice boy
named August Motzick that he is dan
gerouly i'll and liable to die. Motzick,
who is a small-sized German boy II
years old, shipped as an apprentice on
the Adams, prior to her cruise to
Behring sea last spring. The Call says
that after the ship had been in Behring
sea some time, the sailors were denied
fresh water for washing pur-
poses. but that this water was
allowed the Chinese servants and that
the officers themselves received an al
lowance. Some were in filthy condition.
Finally Motzick was sent forward by
the sailors as a committee of one to ask
Commander Nelson for fresh water.
The commander asked the boy what he
wanted fresh water for, and the boy said
he wantad to clean himself.
The Call says that thereupon Nelson
ordered Executive Officer Adams to take
the boy out and scrub him, and that
Adams turned the boy over to Heating,
who, with a squad of men, tied the boy
down and scrubbed his back with can
vas, sand and salt water until it bled.
The Adams is on her way to San Fran
cisco from Behring sea, and is expected
here in a few days.

Kansas F%nsionlsts Say They Will Organize
independents of the Republicans.
TOPEKA, Dec. b.-The Peoples party
and Democrats are highly indignant
Bver the action of the state board of
canvassers in declaring two Republicans
entitled to seats in the lower house Of
the legislature. Leaders of the Peoples
party say they will organize a
house composed of their men and
ignore the Republicans and that
Governor Lewelling will recognize
that body and the populist senate and
let the republicans crack their whip.
In this way they will elect a United
States senator, who, they say, will be
seated. Speaking of the action of the
canvassing board, Chairman Boliden-
thai said: eff they intended giving us
fair play why did they drive
us out of the room when the
drawing took place? Their man
was represented on the board; ours
was not. Ives Withdrew because he did
not believe in drawing lots and would
not be a party Dit. Of course we don't
know what was done there, but our
turn will come in time. We will con-
test their steal and fight it to the finish"

AN ASSURED FACT.j
The st. Louis-ChicaRo Electric Road to Be
Buflt-A Hundred Miles, An Hour.

The st. Lo~uis-ChicaRo Electric Road to BE
Built-A Hundred Miles, AN Hour.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 5.-There has been
more or less speculation about the con-
struction of the Chicago g. St. Louis
electric railroad, but it is now an as
sured fact. The rights of way have
been secured entirely through Christian
county, and the same are now deposited
with a bank in escrow pending the con-
struction of the road. Work on the
road is now being prosecuted near Edin-
burg, ILL.,, where m of the power
houses is located.
The line from Chicago to st. Louis is
$50 miles. It is an air line. There will
be no crossings, no frogs, nc switches
In fact, no inconvenience that u &C.
cidents on the railroads. Its trains will
run 100 miles IN hour, accomplishing
the trip between the two cities in two
hours and a half. The road is divided
into twenty-five sections of ten
miles each. The cars RIM one
section apart, and no current
will flow in the intermediate section so
that it will be absolutely impossible for
cars to come within ten miles of each
other. This will prevent any two cars
running upon a single section, making
collisions absolutely impossible.
There will ultimately be four tracks,
but at first only two through sracks will
be laid. The through cars will not stop
anywhere between the two cities. 1t
will be unnecessary to travel at night
and therefore no through passenger cars
will be run after . o'clock p. m., the
tracks being reserved at night for high
class freight, express and mail matter.
The car is long, low and compact,
having two pairs of driving wheels, each
being propelled by a separate motor.
The driving wheels are + feet in
diameter and are capable of making 500
revolutions per minute.

GOuld's Illness Causes Uneasiness.

New York, Dec. 1.-The report that
Jay Gould's illness had taken such a
serious turn that he was compelled to
remain in bed at his residence in this
city created a decidedly nervous feeling
on the part of Wall street men, and in
speculative and business circles generally
to-day. just before the opening of the
exchanges knots of men we're seer in the
brokers offices anxiously discussing Mr..
Gould's physical condition and probable
effect of his illness upon the markets.
AT Mr.. GouId's residence it was
learned that he had passed a very I'M
comfortable night. Up to 2 o'clock p. m.
there was no change in Mr.. Gould's con-
dltion.
Mrs. D.. M. Harris and daughter called
at the house shortly after noon, and on
coming out refused to, say anything
beyond the statement that Mr.. Gould
was a very sick man.

Didn't Admire Gould.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-In speaking of the
death of Mr.. Gould, The St. James
Gazettee calls him a "gambler million
aire," and says: "The most typical
marauder of the age is dead. In his
reckless contempt for honor, Justice,
mercy, or morality he transcends the
giant spectators of the world. He
leaves hundreds Of millions of dollars
accumulated by gambling, swindling,
and fraud. We do not like to speak iii
of the dead, but there is no other way to
describe Gould and the methods by
which he acquired his enormous for
tune" All the other English papers
publish similar leading editorials onithe
subject of Gould's death, and some give
sketches of his life and describe his dar-
ing operations.

New YORK, Dec. 3.-The Herald says:
Among we'll informed democrats the
impression exists that P~resident-elect
Cleveland has practically made up his
mind that an extra session of congress
will be necessary. The men who have
formed that opinion believe an extra
session will be called because of things
Cleveland said before starting on his
shooting trip. To one of these he dis
closed his conviction that it would be
impossible to avoid an extra session, be-
u of the condition of the treasury.
Mr.. Cleveland is expected to tell the
people exactly what he thinks of an
extra session at his talk at the Reform
club dinner, December 10th.

National Prison Association

BALTIMORE, Dec, 5.-The National
Prison association of the United States
has convened here in annual session,
The meeting this year is regarded as of
more than ordinary Importance, and it
is expected that many changes in our
present system of imprisonment will be

pute. The work of the association is de-
voted to several well-defined objects.
One of its aims is to secure comfortable
and sanitary prisons, another is to pro-
vide moral and intellectual instruction
for criminals while undergoing punish
ment, and a third is to assist the man
when he is released from prison and to
put forth efforts to save him from
further crime.

meeting Of the leading Democrats and
Independents of the state was held here
Thursday night. Reporters were ex-
cluded, but the gist of the proceedings
have been given out. The meeting was
called to outline the program to be fol-
lowed at the coming session of the legis-
lature and an agreement was entered
into whereby the members of
the two parties will act together. So
far as the organization Of the two
houses is concerned the Democrats are
to have the senate officers and appointees
and the Independents the lower house.
No agreement was made SO far as the
United States senate is concerned, but a
general understanding is that fusion will
be entered into.

The Millionaire Dead,

AhO l"4AAAOAlhlGo Dcaus
NEW York, Dec. 2.-Jay Gould died
at 9:15 this morning.
DIR. Mum, his physician, had DR..
Janeway in consultation, but they said
nothing could be done but make Mr..
Gould's last hours as comfortable as
possible.
When the eud came the members of
the family who were in the house we're
MIR. and Mrs. George Gould, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwin Gould, Miss Helen Gould,
Mr.. Howard Gould, Mr.. Harold Gould
and Miss Anne Gould.
The direct cause of Mr.. Gould's death
was pulmonary consumption. No pain
attended the last moments of the dying
man. The end came peacefully and
quietly.
just before he died, Mr.. Gould realiz-
ing that he had but a little while to live,
expressed a desire that all the members
of his family be called that he might
look upon them for the last time. He
was perfectly conscious and entirely
composed, meeting the end with calm
ness. His mind was clear to the last.
Mr.. Gould's career from a ba~refooted
boy in Delaware county, New York, to
the greatest railroad king in the world
has been unparalleled. There has never
been anything like it and probably never
will be again. In the Sc years of his
life he accumulated a fortune estimated
at from s6o,0Oo,oOO to $780, 100000.

A corpse was being taken east on

history connected with it. Early last
summer two tramps were killed in a
railroad accident at Custer, Mont. They
were buried at the expense of the coun-

thought of the occurrence, until some
persons in the east began to make IN

established that one of the tramps was
the missing man. His parents, it

No Orders On Hand.

P%1TTsBURG, Dec. 5.-The South Fiji
teenth street mill of the Oliver Iron e.
Steel company, closed with only a few
hours notice. The only reason assignedis
that there are NJ orders and that the
mill is overstocked. The shutdown
closes the beam mill, universal mill,
plate mill, S-inch, lU-inch and 2O-inch
mills indefinitely. W. h. Oliver, presi-
dent of the company, said: "Whenever

RAILROAD LANDS.

Their Taxation to BE an Important Issue
EE in the Next Minnesota Legislature.
M1NNEAPoL1s, Dec. 5.-The taxation
of railroad lands is certain TO be a prom
inent issue in the approaching session of
the legislature, and the railroad COM
panies will make tremendous efforts to
defeat whatever legislation is pomul-
gated.
The land grant roads of the state are
all interested, and all of the counties
through which the roads run appear to
be up in arms over the matter. This
territory embraces all the counties of
the central and northern parts of the
state, and makes a strip all the wav
across the state along the Northern
Pacific main line, from MINNEAPOLIS
northwest to the northern boundary,
along the old Manitoba lines. Millions
of acres are thus exempt from tax
alton burdens. and not only do
not pay their share of the state
and county burdens, but the very ex-
emption retards settlement and in
creases the burdens of the people in the
counties where the exempted land lies,
The subject was agitated in the last
session, and a law was only beaten be-
cause it was not undertaken in time.
The matter two years ago came up in
the Northern Pacific counties, those of
Aitkin, Wadena and Crow Wing, but
the railroad strength in the lower
house, as handled by the agents of the
Great Northern especially, was too
strong Tor une men IN charge of
the bill. One of the counties, Aitkin.
had a Lobbyist employed nearly all the
whole session working for the bill.
There was not, however, a concert of
action by the counties, which was the
real the Measure failed. There
is, however, to be organized effort the
coming season, the counties having
already sent out circulars looking to a
meeting to set the matter on foot.
