NO MONEY HANDLED.
Dol. Thompson Says All the Panama
Trnnsnctions VIII Be Explained.

transactions viii he Explained.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. .7.-Col.
Richard w. Thompson, late chairman
of the American Panama committee,
was seen in regard to the statement in a
cablegram from Paris that about 12,OO0,-
900 francs were sent TO New York and
expended under his direction, and that
this amount had not been accounted
for.
Col. Thompson said: "The impression
that exists that certain sum was placed
in our hands. l2.OOO,OOO francs, or any
other sum, is incorrect. just what ar
rangemeut Seligmau & Co., the New
York bankers, had with the canal COM
pany don't know, but l do know that
all our acquisitions on the canal COM
pany through Selignan d Co. were
honored and promptly paid, and that no
vouchers were issued that will not bear
the most critical inspection. So far as
my spending 12OOD,O00 francs in this
country for the canal is concerned, there
was four members of the American
committee and | was one of them.
What was spent was spent legitimately,
and the vouchers in the bank will show
how every cent was spent. We expect
to make a showing to the congressional
committee that will explain all the
transactions in detail.

Children Roasted to penth.

BELLAIRE, Mich, Feb. S.-The house
Of Oliver Pattie, three miles north of
this place, was burned last night.
Three of Mr.. Pattie's children, aged l2
10 and 3 years, were roasted to death,
A neighbors boy, Taylor by name, had
been playing with the children and it is
feared that he, too, was burned. All the
children were in the house alone. The
father works nights in Bellaire factory.
The mother was away preaching, it is
said. She is an enthusiastic adherent Of
sect called the rGroverites," which
fourishes in this community. The
bodies, when found, were charred almost
beyond recognition and there were evi-
dences OF frightful struggle with the
flames. 1t is supposed that the fire
started while the children were asleep,
and that they were unable to make their
escape, either through fear or on account
of locked doors.

case Of Eli Conn VS.. Lane Bros. 81 Co.,
contractors, building the Baltimore and
Ohio road between this place and Pitts
burg. has been removed from the cir
cult court to the state court of appeals.
During the campaign last October u
boat load of persons came to "enthuse +"
at a political meeting. On the way
home a blast was fired on the river bank
by employees Of the defendants, a frag
ment of stone from which struck the
plaintiff, breaking his arm, his breast
bone and otherwise mangling him.
Conn sues for $4,000. The plea on
which the removal of this case was
allowed is TINT of vlOcal preiudice. y

HARRISON, Feb. S.-W l.. Brawley, q
farmer residing near Green Forest,
whilo out hunting with neighbor, dis
covered the skeletons of two men in q
gulch lying under a cliff, where IL was
evident they had been for some time.
One of the thigh bones looked as though
il had been broken and had knit together
again. There is great speculation as to
who the men were and the affair is
being investigated. Some time ago
there were two men in that vicinity,
one of them lame, who We're suspected
Of being counterfeiters, and it was sup
posed they had large amount OF
mon9y d6ey Snd n6bng oa G
heard of them. 1t was supposed they
were foully dealt with.

HARRISBURG, Feb. Judge Simon
ton has appointed John Irwin, Jr., Of
Pittsburg, receiver Of the Peoples Mu-
tual Accident Insurance association,
against which decree of dissolution on
insolvency was entered by the court.
The defendant company did not make
an appearance at the hearing to show
cause why it should not be dissolved.
This is the company which the insur-
ance commissioner recently pronounced
hopelessly insolvent. The court has
ordered that the books, papers and other
effects of the association, which are now
in the hands of officers Of the company
in Pittsburg, are to be placed in the
custody of the receiver at once.

THE WHISKY TRUST INQUIRY.
veasoy Makes Some Interesting Experl-
ments Before the Committee.

WAsHIyCToN, Feb. 7.-Yesterday'5
session Of the subcommittee Of the
house judiciary committee investigating
the whisky trust was devoted to watch
ing experiments by Mr.. Veasey in pro-
ducing liquors in adulteration. BY the
use of essential oil, essences and color
ing matter he produced in few minutes
whiskies, runs and gins similar to those
that were placed on the market and sold
as pure, and said the basis for his pro-
ducts was an Odorless and cOlorless
liquid, known to the trade as spirits.
1t was worth about $1.30 per gallon.
By the use of compounds worth about
II cents he produced a gallon of liquor
that would sell for as high as 81. The
production of adulterated goods repre-
sented one-half the liquor business of
the country. By Misrepresentation these
goods were worked upon the entire trade
of the country. Mr.. Veasey urged that
certain witnesses mo names givcn) be
called as soon as possible, as some of
them would find 1t more convenient to
be in Europe than before the committee
If they were given time.

AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. S.-A message
concerning the burning of the negro
Smith, at Paris, has been prepared by
Governor Hogg for submission to the

the horrible affair and those who took
part in it, and concludes his message as
follows. "There is no higher obligation
resting on the legislative department
than to have the constitutional guaran-

property respected and obeyed. If
taxation becomes necessary to raise
funds by which this may be done, l ad-
wise your honorable bodies to lay it on
and make the people pay it to the full
extent necessary

MALVERN FLOODED.

A Carroll County Town With an Abup-

Malvern, in Carroll county, is almost
entirely flooded. The Tuscarawas river
passing through the center of the place,
has risen six feet in the last few days and
the entire low portion, or flats of the town
is covered with water. Many houses are
devastated and people are moving their
goods either out of their domiciles or into
the second story. The town is located at
the foot of high hills in beautiful valley
and the snow rapidly melting and the
rains filling the creek from the east have
caused an overflow of the river.

Many People Are Destitute
SYDNEY, Ms. w, Feb. S.-The city Of
Brisbane, in Queensland, continues to
be completely isolated by the floods. In
the region about Wide Bay, Queens
land, hundreds of houses have been
demolished by the rushing waters and
thousands of people have taken refuge
in the hills, without shelter and destitute
of nearly all necessaries. At Brisbane
business is completely suspended.
1t is reported that several mines at
olympic in the Wide Bay district are
inundated, and that great damage has
been done.
At Ipswich, Queensland, twenty-five
miles from Brisbane, twenty-five per-
sons are known to have perished, and it
is feared that the loss Of life is much
greater, as the river is covered with
wreckage, from which horrible stencil
arises, doubtless caused by the bodies Of
human beings and animals entangled in
the mass.
