DR.. JENKINS SUED.
Serious Charges by Nurse Against New
York's Cholera Hospital.

1Ork - Onulerd hospital
New YORK, Nov. Startling
revelations concerning the treatment
of cholera patients on Swinburne Is
land during the recent epidemic are
made by Miss Adelaide Merres, a
professional nurse. She charges
drunkenness among the nurses; that
they gambled at night and neglected
the patients; that convalescents were
made to wear the clothes of victims of
cholera who were cremated, and that
many of the patients did not get
clothes, wine and food sent them by
friends. These allegations and many
more Miss Merres makes are in
ci6ental to suit which she has begun
against Health Officer William Jen-
kins to recover $50, which she claims
he owes her for one months services.
She says that none of the nurses were
paid Tor the last week or two.

A DEMOCRATIC paper at Austin mas
become necessity. The Austin papers
are not state papers, but merely reflect
the sentiment of their own baliwick
of Austin.-Waco News.
We clip the above from an ex.
change, failing to see it in The
"News'' as that paper is considered. at
this office hardly worth the. effort to
break its envelope, therefore we know
nothing about The News, but the
above extract from the evidently
erudite journal would indicate that it
knows as little IN regard to Demo-
cratic principles as it does
about the wandering comet. There
are two daily Democratic papers
in Austin and 10th reflect the national
Democratic thought in its historic and
practical sense. Doubtless the above
paragraph was written, like others of
its kind, by one who had tried Austin
and did not find it gullable, or its
newspapers open to the kind of talent
that airs its unmitigated egotism on
the Waco News.

KNOCKING AT THE DOORS.
All Tho Territories Want Admission to the
Union-other Washington Notes.

gnlon-OtheE NHbnAuElOu NOIeAs
WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 9.-The
strong pressure that is being exerted
by the territories makes it probable
that joint conference of Democratic
senators and representatives will be
held within few days to determine the
steps to be taken by the party in the
two houses in relation to the admission
of the territories into the union. New
Mexico, Arizona and Utah have been
clamoring for enabling acts, or bills
tending ultimately to statehood, and q
considerable element in Oklahoma
thinks that territory has also arrived at
q state OF maturity. New Mexico pre-.
sents the somewhat anamalous situation
OF being urged for admission by both
political parties.
Itappears that the bread he cast upon
the waters will return to Senator Haw-
ley. Two years ago there was a bitter
controversy in Congress upon the sub.
joct OF steam presses in the bureau OF
engraving and printing, and the senator
took up the cause OF the plate printers
with such vigor that ne was largely in
strumental in securing the passage OF
an amendment to an appropriation bill
Gorbidding the use OF the steam ma
chimes. Now the senator has q lively
contest on hand in Connecticut, which
jeapordizes his reelection to the senate,
and the labor organizations in this city
have come to his assistance and adopted
resolutions endorsing him.
The action of the secretary OF state in
reiterating his instructions to the
American minister in London, to use
his good Offices to secure the release, ii
possible, OF Mrs. Maybrick, is due to
recently received reports that the priso-
ner is in critical condition.
The secretary OF the treasury to-day
informed the speaker Of the house OF
representatives that the deficiencies OF
the government for the current fiscal
year are estimated at Sl4,63652O, of
which SlO,5OO,OOO is on account OF PEN
sions.

A oUADRup1E HANGING.
-Four Kentucky nIurdSrorS Launched Into
Eternity simultaneously,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 9.-At sunrise
this morning Dennis Mccarthy, Ste
phen Hite, Grant Thomas and Nelson
Lewis (the last two coloref paid upon
the scaffold the penalty of willtul muir
der. At 7:45 o'clock the four con-
demned men entered the yard Of the
Jail and saw for the first time tho scaf-
fold where death awaited them. Up tho
steps of the scafold they marched, Hite
leading. He walked firmly across to
beneath the moose to the west, McCar::
thy next to him, Thomas next and
Lewis under the moose to the east. All
but Thomas stood with bowed heads:
He looked about at tho crowd and
bowed to men he knew in the crowd
and at the windows OF the Jail. The
deputies arranged the nooses and pin
ioned the men at 7:40 o'clock. Hite,
while being pinioned, kicked of the
slippers he wore. The priests talked
continually to Hite and Mccarthy, and
the colored ministers spoke OCCASION
sionally to Thomas and Lewis. Thomas
glanced curiously at the rope and beam
above him.
At7:47 o'clock the cap was adjusted
over McCarthy's head and then quickly
over the others. Not one spoke. The
moose was then adjusted on Hite,
Thomas, Mccarthy and lastly on Lewis.
At 7:49 all stood firm. Mccarthy
yawned as the moose was adjusted. AT
7:54 the drop fell. Hite struggled from
the first, Grant Thomas arm drew up
and McCarthy's hands moved con-
vulsively. Lewis hung limp. At 1856
Lewis had not moved and to all appear
ances his neck had been broken by the
drop. The struggles OF the others grew
less. At s o'clock Thomas was the only
living man, and at S:07 all were dead.
Dennis Mccarthy was. hange5 for the
murder of his wife and unborn babe,
September 7, 1891. Nelson Lewis, col

NOT GUILTY

OF the First ChaTEo-The Smith Horcsy
T!Nl Drawing to a Close.
CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 0.-When tho
Cincinnati presbytcry went into secret
session yesterday afternoon to consider
the charges against Prof. Smith, it was
understood they would adjourn until
Monday, as has been the rule since the
trial begun. But they did not They
adopted q rule TO give out no report OF
the progress OF their proceedings until
they had passed upon the whole matter
and then begun with such industry to
consider the case that they resumed
their deliberations to-day. Though the
great wooden doors oi the church were
closed and barred, the information has
escaped that lato this afternoon vote
was taken upon the first charge and its
specifications, aud to the surprise OF
everybody, the verdict was not guilty.
While not official, this information is
believed to be correct.
The first charge is the one based on
articles by Prof. Smith published in the
New York Erdngslia March 10 and
April Z last, in which he is accused by
the committee with having taught that
II Presbyterian minister may abandon
tho essential OF the system OF doctrine
in that church aud which he received
and adopted at his ordination, and
rightiully retain his position as q min-
lister in the church.
The remaining charges contain, how
ever, tho grayest part OF the prosecu.
tion, namely, that involving his view OF
tho inspiration OF the scriptures. These
will be considered next Monday.

Once upon time, as the story goes,
an East Indian princess asked her
royal father if he would buy her the
most beautiful thing in his kingdom.
The old gentleman, who is supposed to
have dined well that day, gave his
promise and instructed his chamber
lain to see that the whim Of the prin-
cess was humored. In about an hour
there was trouble. Tho chamberlain
came into the royal presence pale.
threw himself at the royal feet and
begged for the royal mercy. He could
not buy the most beautiful thing in the
kingdom, for that was her royal high
ness herself. Just then the princess
entered and explained that the thing
she wanted was diamond che had
seen in one OF the bazaars. She got
the diamond, saved the chamberlain's
life and became his wife. There is not
only surprising beauty but permanent
value in diamond, and nothing is
more suitable for gift. ]. w. Grubb,
corner Of Twelfth and Nam, has
large and carefully selected stock of
diamonds OF all sizes and at very low
prices.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 0.-About q
year ago tho keystone Employment
Agency of this city started Charles
Stein with gang OF twenty-five Italians
for Logan county, West Virginia, to
work TOR Thompson Brothers, contrac-
tors, on the Norfolk &-Wcstern railroad.
stoin and his men got as far as
Dingiss on theirtEip. There they stop
ped for food and to locate Thompson
Brothers. The town is on the line OF
the Norfolk & Western road, and q
couple of hundred colored men, under
charge of two white men, we're camped
near the town.
Stein was given something to eat bat
when he and his party tried to go on,
they were stopped by number OF the
colored men. Their opposers pulled
revolvers and told heItaliaus that they
would have to stop there and work or
be shot. The foreigners had to stay.
They worked there for several days on
the railroad and got nothing for it.
The colored men guarded them while
they worked, and even while they slept
they were watched.
After week of their slavery Stein
and n number OF his companions decid-
ed to make an attempt to escape. At
midnight, while the guards slept, they
stole away down the valley. They were
pursued by the colored men with blood
hounds and only made good their es-
cape after killing the dogs and eIuding
totns. After several days tramp the
gang reached the Kentucky line and
got work in mining camp, among a
lot of whites and blacks.
Stein was the only member OF the
party who came back to Pittsburgh.
The others arc scattered, he knows not
where. and thinks that some OF them
werc killed at Dingiss. He worked his
way to Pittsburgh by slow stages.

Business shows no decrease except tho
slackening on new transactions, which

Cleveland reports good trade in dry
goods and groceries, and fair in hard
ware and shoes, with slight improve
mont in the demand forrolled products.
At Detroit business is fully equal to
last years, though retail traders re-
tarded by the weather. At Pittsburgh
somc dullness is seen with weaker Bes-
semer iron and reduced orders for fin
ished products. Speculative markets
are comparatively quiet. In wooden
goods the prospect for the coming year

A G1Rn SAWED THEnI.

A Loaded Passenger Train Saved from an
Awful Wreck by Young Lady's Heroic
Conduct.
ST.. LOUIS, Dec. GA Tacoma, WASH
ington, dispatch says: A brave girl
with lantern saved a heavily-loaded
Southern Pacific passenger train from
total destruction near Grants Pass, Or
egon, Wednesday evening. Wrockers
had removed the outside rail over q
high trestle, and had not the engineer
been signalled just as be WAS, the train
would have plunged to the bottom OF
tho rocky gulch, forty-dve feet below.
The train reached Grants Pass about z
o'clock Wednesday night. 1t pulled out
on time, but when about half way to
Glendale, it stopped suddenly. As the
train approached the trestle the engi-
neer noticed signal to stop by some-
one swinging lantern. He reversed
the engine aud put on the air brakes as
quickly rs possible, bringing tho engine
to a stand still just in front OF the tres
tie.
A young girl, name unknown. who
had given the signal to stop told the
engineer that some one had removed a
guard rail from the trestie and that If
the train had gone few hundred teet
further it would have landed on the
rocks in the bottom of the canyon. He
made hasty examination, finding her
story only too true. The train consisted
OF twelve cars made up OF the usual
complement of baggage and passenger
coaches and contained 250 souls all told,
men, women and children. The girl,
in company with another girl and an
escort, was returning from social gath
ering when she discovered the removal
OF tho rail.
