THE MAYOR CHANGES HIS MIND.

He Used to Favor a Free Lodging Placo - Thinks Everyone Would Want to Go to it-A Case In Point Last Night, Hut the Mayor Was Not Generous.
 Dennis Coogan, laborer, came into police headquarters last night and asked for nights lodging in the lookup. He said he was going to Hartford this morn ing to work in foundry there. He was a lsboring man, but John Barleycorn had been rather too much for him yesterday. Sergeant Mcbride explained to him that l the police commissioners had voted not to let anyone into the lookup unless charge | had been preferred against him and that If he should be arrested on Sunday he would have to appear before the court. Dennis was very anxious to get some place to sleep where he would not be arrested for vagrancy, but, of course, without avail.
 Mayor Sargent sat in the office at the time and listened carefully to the colloquy between Coogan and the sergeant. As he had frequently brought the matter of a public lodging place for people who come to this city and lack the wherewithal for a l 1OukAuS, tO tAo uOtlCo OA oAo POiAOo ooLIA missioners in an indefinite sort of way, the COURIER man waited for the denouement and the applicant waited, Micawber-like, to see what would turn up. The reporter finally interviewed the mayor, saying: Here is case in point. Do you'think the city ought to provide free lodging place for men of this kinda The mayor was rathe, illusive and indefinite in his answers. '1 think" he said, "there are two sides tc every question. If this man had kept sober he would not have had any occasion
 to ask for a lodging place. He said that he earned from $2 to $4 day"
 Yes, but he said also that this was tht
 first time that he had asked for @ longing
 'T admit it is hard on the man to hav'
 to sleep out of doors, but am of the opin !: ion that, an experience of that kind would ) teach 8 lesson in temperance and fore thought in money matters.
 In general do you favor free lodging plscea
 'I used to and am not sure now bu
 that it would be a good thing if we coult
 discriminate between the worthy and tn
 unworthy. am afraid though if such , thing should be established too many woul,
 want to go there. However, Sergeant Nc Bride knows more about this matter thal , I do. Interview him.'
 , That was unnecessary, for Sergeant Nc ! Bride had frequently said that he though , there were many deserving cases that coul , be easily distinguished. Many times, toe : Sergeant Mcbride has paid for lodging fo ] men in hard luck out of his own pocket.

The People of Parker, Pa, Partly Relieved
of Their Fear of Disaster.
PARKER, Pa, Feb. 22.-The great ice
gorge which caused feelings of appre-
hension along the Allegheny river from
East Brady to Emlenton, distance of
twenty-nine miles, for nearly week,
broke here Saturday morning, and by
daylight all the ice had passed out.
The water rose rapidly, inundating the
upper end of Parker, and several
houses on the banks were washed
away, but the occupants had deserted
them before the flood came, Beyond
this no damage was done.
In the afternoon at o'clock the pom
derous gorge broke in the Clarion river
and soon passed out, All fear is now at
an end, and there is general rejoicing
in the Allegheny valley.

cooling babe in her arms in the best OF

Shortly after the husbands departure

informed him that he had gone to town.
The visitor gave his name as Davis,
and said that he had some hogs to sell
to Mr.. Jewell. A considerable con-

the woman thus had good opportunity
while not under excitement to note the
general appearance Of the man.
After the latter had gone Mrs. Jewell
concluded to visit a neighbor half a
mile distant, and went to lock the door.

sprang from his place of concealment,
seized her by the throat, and after a

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 23.-News of a
horrible story of murder and cannibal-

two older children, Mark and Linda,
aged respectively eleven and nine
years She went to the place OF Mr..
J. A. Knight, two miles distant, to do
some work for Mrs. Knight. After her
departure it seems that Mark resolved
upon putting the infant out of the
way. So he told his sister what he
proposed doing, at the same time tell
ing her that If she told he would
kill her. Procuring an ak he de-
libcrately knocked the baby in

members of which should be gathered
from every state in the union, has been
much discussed among members of
congress. and the idea seems to have
taken with them. But congress has
nothing to do with the details of the
fairs work. and consequently the prop
osition will have to be submitted to the
managers of the fair themselves. 1t is
thought here that the scheme will be
heartily indorsed by the musical
organizations Of every state in the
country, and that the result of the
adoption of the plan would be to bring
together some of the very best material
and the formation of what might be con-
sidered a national band in the true

have been seen in regard to the propo-
stion propose to bring it to the atten-
ton of the fair managers.

How Grandma Phillips Received Her Ter

ATHENS, o., Feb 90 The investigat-

did very little Friday In making pro-
gress here in the Investigation of the
Grandma Phillips's" case at Wellston.
The entire day has been spent taking
medical testimony.
Early in the morning Drs Alderman
and Tinker, of this city, were sent by
the Athens asylum board to Wellston
for the purpose of making an examina-
tion into the case of Mrs Sarah Phil.
lips. They returned in the afternoon,
and have submitted their report, which
in no manner differs from that of all
the other physicians who have been
called into the case and made examina-
tions for the family, as well as the
Athens board of trustees.
There is no dispute in the minds Of
any of the physicians regarding one
fact, that Mrs. Phillips has in her right
side, extending, from the shoulder
blade down to near her hip, black
and blue spot which the doctors say
was caused by capillary hemorrhage,
the result of a bruisc.
The people do not care what names
these injuries are classed under; they
desire to know what in this particular
case has been the cause. The theory
has been advanced that Mrs Phil
lips had received this lruiscd con.
dition as the result of par.
TALLY Taralyzcd condition of her
right side, which caused her to lean on
the arm of the rocking-chair in which
she was always kept sitting while she
remained in the asylum. Another the
ory is that she was hurt accidentally
during her fighting while in a bath, or
rather when the attendants were about
to remove her from her bath.

THE SEAL QUESTION


termination.
WAsnINGToN, Feb 20..-The Behring
sea controversy was the principal topic
of discussion at Fridays cabinet meet
ing. There is no particular change in
the situation, and none is looked for
until Lord Salisbury acts on the treaty
of arbitration, draft of which, drawn
on lines understood to be equally ac-
ceptable to both governments, was
submitted to him early this week.
In order TO get the treaty be.
fore the senate as soon as possible, it
was arranged that Lord Salisbury should
communicate his action by cable. So
far, however, nothing has been heard
from him on the subject. The policy
of this government with regard to the
coming sealing season will depend
largely on the action of the British
government on the question of arbitra-
ton. There is scarcely a doubt, how
ever, that an arrangement will be
made somewhat similar to that of last
years modus viyendi. The president
has issued the usual proclamation
against poaching in Behring sea. 1t
is almost identical with the one issued
last year
