ABOUT SALARIES.
The Huntington platform next ac-
cuses the Democrats Of having Increased
salaries. l can only characterize this
as a most objectionable and deliberate
false statement. The present salaries
of all State officers are fixed oy
the Constitution, which was adopted oy
the people, and there could be no In
crease or reduction except by Consti-
tutional amendment. There has been
no change in the salaries, as fixed by the
Constitution of 1872, except as to the
salaries of Circuit Judges, which were
not increased, but in fact reduced from
So, 600 to 81, 500 by the adoption OF the
Constitutional amendment OF 1879. The
salaries so fixed by the Constitution OF
1872 are substantially the same as the
salaries and allowances previously paid
under Republican administration. In
fact, they are trifle less. The differ
ence is that now State officers re-
ceive from the State Treasury exclu-
Sively salary; then they were paid a
salary and in addition were each al
lowed several hundred dollars annually
as house rent, and without very much
color OF law, either. Does it make any
material difference to the taxpayer
whether the Governor is paid a salary OF
50, 700 year, and nothing in addition,
as under Democratic administration, or
So. 900 a year salary and $3.50 year
house rem. as under Republican admin
istration?
Here is a comparative statement in
detail Oh the salaries and allowances
paid in 1870 under Republican admins
tratlon. aad salaries paid in 1891 under
Democratic Administrations:

claimants of the Estate OF Earl Howe.
sult Made Famous BY Dickins In
Bleakhouse-
NEW YORK, September 17.-Among
the passengers on the Alaska, wnlcn
arrived Wednesday. were Nicnoias
Moody. a London solicitor, and Mr..
Henry Bonchette, of London. Their
errand here Is to consult with American
claimants to the estate Of Earl Howe.
Mitigation over the estate has been In
progress for nearly century. Ii is
nrohably the most famous law suit In
history. Dickins made 1t the basis OF
Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce, In BLEAK
house" The amount involved Is now
estimated, variously, from sloo'ooo,ooo
10 $50. 600, 900.
THE case is known in England as the
Jenpens case, from William Jennens,
who died in 1898. He was the richest
commoner in England. His real estate
was seized by Lady Sophia Charlotte
Curson. afterward Baroness Howe, In
behalf of her son, George Augustus
William Cursor, who died In his In
fancy in 1850. The claimants to the
Jennens property claim that Lady Cur
SON concealed the death OF her son and
substituted for him the iilegitimate
child of a village girl, Ann Cakes. This
child Lady Cursor named Richard WI,
liam Penn Cursor and had him educated
according to the manners OF the time' as
would become the son OF titled people.
When be reached his majority Lady
| Cursor bought for him at an immense
EXPENSE the title Of Earl Howe, which
title had lapsed several years before.
The present Earl Howe is the grand
son of this boy. Throughout the coun-
try the descendants of the Jennens
family have been searching for proofs
10 establish their claim. They assert
that In many instances the defendants
have mutilated records and even de-
faced gravestones In order TO prevent
them from getting the evidence they
needed. Many people OF course have
lost their fortunes in this litigation.
Among them was Philadelphia woman
whose share in the suit cost her $780,
In America one hundred and thirty
claimants to share in the estate have
been discovered. Not all OF them have
heen DISCOURAGED, and II is TO meet them
that Messrs. Moody and Bouchette are
here. They have brought the whole
case with them and it consists OF an In
credible mass OF documents.
The present claimant is Benz. Wills,
lineal descendant OF Jennens. he
claims TO have discovered new evidence
recently that will tend TO prove that the
FIRST two Earls Howe were aware OF the
fraud practiced by Lady Cursor. This
enables them to reopen the litigation
and papers were served upon the Ear
early last month.

NINE BODIES FOUND.
Particulars of the Terrible Storm on Peo-
ria Lake.

PEORIA, ILL.,, July 13.-Up to an early
hour this morning nine bodies have been
recovered from the wreck of the frankie
Folsom, and the search still continues.
1t is believed that nine more bodies will
be found. The survivors all tell the
most thrilling tales of disaster, and there
were many narrow escapes. Men and
women were pulled into the boats half
dressed, and it is feared that some of
them will die from excitement and expo
sure.
Capt. Leach, master of the boat, gives
the story of the disaster. He brought a
party Of about 40 up from Pekin to see
PAINS ''Last Days of Pompeii." After
the exhibition they pulled out, and when
in the middle of the river the storm
struck them with all its fury with scarce
ly sign of warning. The captain at
tempted to head the steamer toward the
shore, and as he did so terrific gust of
wind struck the craft and keeled it over
in 10 feet of water The scene which fol
lowed beggars description. Men and
women were thrown into the water, but
the larger part of them managed to reach
the upper guard and cling there until
help reached them. Their cries of dis
tress were heard on shore and in
spite of the heavy wind a number
of skiffs went to their assistance,
and gradually they were brought to
shore. Quickly they We're taken to resi-
dences, where dry clothes were secured.
Until the list of passengers comes from
Pekin, the exact number of deaths cannot
be told. The persons drowned were
nearly all in the cabin when the boat
tipped over, so there was no escape for
them. A window was smashed in and
one woman dragged out. She was
breathing, but died in few minutes.
The survivors all tell the most thrilling
tales of the disaster, and there were
many narrow escapes.
Sam Sutton saved his wife by diving
down into the cabin of the sunken boat
He brouht her up in a senseless condi-
ton, but it is thought she will live.
AS soon as the news of the disaster
reached the police station, every man on
the force was ordered to the scene. May
or Warner ordered all the hacks in the
city to the place, and as the people were
brought to shore they were taken to the
City Hall, where they were made COM
Portable. The scene at the river bank
was pitiful in the extreme. Friends of
those on the boat stood on the shore
watching each life-boat as it landed the
unfortunates.
When the storm broke, the lake and
river were dotted with every description
of boats. Out of 200 pleasure boats only
96 have been accounted for so far. John
Bard. a salesman, while standing in the
shelter of a house, saw several small
boats go whirling down the river, and
there is but little doubt that their occu-
pants have found watery grave. A
boatman from up the river came in early
this morning with six pairs of oars he
found floating. AS there is no trace of
the boats to which they belonged, it is
thought the occupants have been
drowned.

THE HORROR AT oERvAls.
Sad Scenes as the Search for the Unfor-
Inmates Goes On,

PARIS, July 13.--The work of search
ing for the bodies of those who lost their
lives in the terrible disaster at st. Ger
vais-les-B ains was continued today. The
bodies of those already recovered are
torn and mangled most horribly. In
many cases the heads were torn off the
bodies, while in others the arms and legs
had been cut off by the sharp rocks or
huge masses of ice that had passed over
them. Again, some bodies were found
that had been crushed out of all SEM
blance to humanity.
The scene at St. Gervais is indeed a
most pitiable one. The officials are do
ing everything in their power to facili-
tate the work of rescue, and are them
selves foremost in the work. From the
time the alarm was first sounded through
the nearby villages rescue parties were
organized who fastened to the scene of
the disaster. The inhabitants of Bonnie
vile and Sallanches sent several rescuing
parties which did excellent work. For
long hours the workers We'd with each
other in their task, inspired with the des-
perate hope that they would perhaps be
able to save life in the debris Of the gen
eral wreck on the hillside or along the
banks of the Arve.
When the glacier slid down in the Bon
Nant, on which mountain stream ST. Ger
vais-les-Bains is situated, the current
was damned and the water rose rapidly
behind the huge wall of ice. Finally the
pressure became so great that the dam
was not broken, and then, roaring,
grinding and crushing, the immense vol
ume of water and tremendous masses of
ice started down the ravine. Many of
the victims were overtaken in their sleep
and instantly swept into the torrent. Of
the 81 employees in the baths only nine
were saved alive and seven of these are
severely injured. Among the victims
was Dane who escaped unhurt from
the terrible explosion on the steamer
Mont Blanc at Ouchy, on the Lake of
Geneva last Saturday, when 26 persons
were killed. At the hamlet of Bionassy,
which was swept out of existence by the
sliding glacier, So persons were killed.

ed, the results of great floods caused by
unprecedented,rains the past week. The
rains still continue. The Tombigbee
has left its banks and the country is
flooded, destroying thousands of acres of
fine cotton and corn. and sweeping away
all the bridges erected since the April
foods. Nearly all the cotton in this sec
ton is total loss Other crops fare as
badly. The damage will not fall short
of 100000. Hundreds of families are
on the verge of starvation. Appeals for
help are coming in almost hourly. At
Waverly, five miles east of here, 1000

GOING INTO POLITICS.
Land Commissioner Carter Said To Be
About to Resign.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-For the first
time in the, history of the general land
office the work of the Office has been
brought up to date, whereas prior to
three or four years ago it took from two
to three years to reach case when 1t
was filed and considered in the usual
way, and it required from two to four
months to get a case adjudicated after
it was made special. Each case is now
adjusted the week it is reached, and it
goes upon the files for immediate atten-
ton as soon as it arrives.
The annual report of the Commissioner
will be signed two months earlier this
year than usual, and it will make a
magnificent showing.
1t is in official circles understood that
the object of Commissioner Carter IN
promulgating his annual report SO early
is to resign mis- Office. Tt is believed that
he will retire from federal office at the
end of the month and devote his atten-
ton to politics till after the election, CIV
ing up the secretaryship of the Republic
can National committee to accept a
place upon the executive committee.
The secretaryship is to be filed by ex-
Congressman McComas of Maryland.
MI. Carter will go to New York to attend
the meeting of the executive committee
on Saturday. That meeting will elect
the campaign chairman.
The belief grows stronger here that
the chairman will be ex-Attorney GEN

JOSIAH WAssoN's DEATH
Developments in the Case in Which Rev.
Mr.. Garland Figures.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July 13.-Interest
in the mysterious death of Josiah Was
son at Hampton still continues undated.
Some very curious phases have been
manifested in the case today. Garland,
who claimed that he was unable to at
tend the hearing last evening, was able
to be out today with his counsel, S. W..
Harmon of Boston. Harmon, who is a
lawyer in Boston, became acquainted
with Garland many years ago, and as
they had both attended the same prepar-
atory school, an intimacy sprang up be-
tween the two when they resided at
Hampton When Harmon learned of
Garland's being suspected of numbering
WATSON, he hurried to his friends as
sistance and arrived at Hampton last
evening. When he arrived Garland was
consulting with physician as to the ad-
visibility of his going on the witness
stand at the inquest.
Today the suspected man and his coun-
sci started out early for drive. During
the ride the self constituted counsel told
Garland that he was suspected of having
caused the death of WATSON. When told
of this Garland did not change counte
nance. He said to his friend that he
knew there was an intense feeling against
him in Hampton, but he did did think
that the conspiracy would be carried so.
far as to accuse him of causing Wasson's
death. Sheriff Coffin and several of his
deputies have been at Hampton, and the
sheriff said that the arrest of a party di-
rectly connected with the case would un-
doubtedly be made within "a hours.
