EGAN ENTITLED TO PAY.
Judges Kerr and Willis Decide
for the EX-Custodian.

for the EX-CuStodian.
Judges kerr aud Willis have de-
cided that Patrick Egan is entitled
to pay for the full uneXpired
term as custodian of the court house
and city hall, and in an order filed di-
rected judgment in favor of Mr.. Egan
against the city and the board of county
commissioners for $3.50, which is the
amount due from the time Mr.. Egan
was turned out by the present admin
iStration to the end of the term for
which he was employed.
In memorandum the judges saw:
''Ihe pivotal question is, was the
plaintiff a public officer, or simply an
employee? That he was the latter, and
not the former we have no doubt. We
can see no material distinction between
the position of plaintiff and that of JAM
tor, elevator man and scrub woman
about the building. Plaintiff was sim
ply head janitOr. His duties were diff
ferent from those of the employees
named in degree, not in kind. He is
designated as an employee in the act of
the legislature referred TO, and was not
required TO take an official oath or give
an official bond"

Is IT STEWART2
An Officer Thinks He Has Located
an Old-Time Murderer.

dh II.
ELMIRA, n. Y, July 1O.-After
search of thirty years. Chief Little be-
lieves he has the murderer of two
guards in the Union prison camp locat-
ed here during the war. In 1868 young
man who had enlisted in New York was
stationed iii the camp. He gave his
name as Stewart. For drunkenness he
was confined in the guard house. One
night he invited his guards to drink
liquor which he had obtained. The
liquor contained poison, and both guards
soon fell into stupor from which they
never recovered. Young Stewart then
endeavored to escape, but was detected.
He was given a trial by a court martial,
found guilty of murder, and sentenced
to die by hanging. lie was transferred
to the county Jail and held there TO await
the date of his execution. In
the meantime great effort was
brought to bear to secure the
young mans pardon. His mother went
TO see President Lincoln. She gave her
name as Shear. The young man OH the
night before the day of his hanging es-
capped from the jail and was never cap
tured. In July, 1891, Leroy Charming
Shear passed forged check for 500 on
Dey Bros, dry goods merchants of this
city, but got away before the forgery
was discovered. He finally turned up
in the Albany penitentiary, where he is
serving term of two years for grand
larceny, having been sentenced from
Albany under the name of Mallory.
Chief Little began an investigation of
the criminal record. He is now con-
WINGED that Shear, the forger, and young
Stewart, the soldier murder murderer of
1868, are one and the same person. This
belief is strengthened by Shears horror
of coming TO Elmira. He will be re-
leased from the Albany prison Aug. 10.
and then will be brought here on the
charge of forgery, when his past record
will be diligently searched.

To Rebuild the Bethel.

Mrs. r. NJ. Newport, corner Selby

to fund to fit out the Bethel boat with
a fire-proof superstructure. The appeal
is made for subscriptions in sums not
less than one dollar and it is intended
TO raise $1,000 for this worthy purpose
1t is thought that this amount will put
a fire-proOf top on the boat and fit it out
for service as desired by the Bethel

been realized in this way.

A Big Shortage in Sight.

Mr.. Wheelock. after obtaining figures
from the comptroller. called the atten-
ton of the members to the fact that on
July 1. after paying June salaries and
bills, there would be left to run the
department for the five remaining
months 500, 240. The pay roll for the
five months would, at the present fig
ures, amount to S74, 800. added TO this
the incidental expenses, which at the
lowest figures would be $500, and the
total would be $50, If conducted at
the present stage of efficiency the short
age would be over $4,000 at the end OF
the year.
President Freeman said this could be
reduced $1,000 by cutting the salaries of
all the men, with the exception of the
$50 men, 10 per cent, which would leave
the shortage tritie over $4,000. The
mayor said the fire department had been
promised S215,000 a year, and it was, i'm
possible TO run on less.
Mr.. Bement said it was not common
sense to talk about S215,000 when it was
known that this amount was not avail
able. The members of the fire board. he
said, must be credited with a little
brains, and when it was known that

The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1893-02-22

WASHINGTON REFUSING THE CROWN.
were men who were fearful that the am
billions and jealousies of some of those
who had been of influence during the
Revolution would lead them to attempt
to gain great personal power. There
were others who believed that as a result
of the victory there would be established
in America constitutional monarchy
modelled after that of Great Britain.
The nation as we now know IL was
government yet to be created.
SO company of officers-men having
influence = having talked this matter
over, agreed to go TO Washington. ask
him to accept the crown of empire and
to promise him the support of the army
in establishing thus personal throne.
When they approached him Washington
believed that these officers and friends of
his had come upon some such errand as
led them often to 4 him for counsel.
He was in happy ~ >Rf mind that
morning. The war Y Led victori-
ously, and he had aired .''<<k in con-
sultation with Hamilton AZ zhe others
respecting the form of civil government
which the now free colonies should un-
dertake.
They offered him the crown in but
single sentence. A few years before,
across the river. Washington, being seat
ed at breakfast. had been approached by
an officer, who said to him that Benedict
Arnold had fed after an attempt to be-
tray West Point into. the hands of the
British. Tho news was appalling and to
Washington must have been extraordi-
narily painful, since for Arnold he had
personal affection which he bestowed
upon only two or three Of his other Off
GERS. Yet so great was his self command,
so superb his capacity for suppressing
emotion, 30 thoroughly had he schooled
himself to face adversely with calmness,
that those about him only saw look Of
sad sternness come to his countenance as
he uttered the now historic words,
"Whom can we now trustY'
But when these officers proposed to
him the empire and tried to put the
scepter in his hand Washington broke
down. There was sorrow and there was
anger in his countenance and in his man.

sorrowful, half angry AMI contemptuous
rcpulse to those who were bringing to
him crown was something greater than
the command Of the American armies
through seven years to ultimate victory.
1t was an act that Europeans could not
understand.
Bonaparte was always inclined to be-
lieve the story purely apocryphal. al
though he was great admirer of
Washington and paid higher tribute to
his military genius than some other
great captains have done. But it was
incomprehensible to Donaparte that a
man should have conducted a prolonged
warfare to success without any idea of
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. and, moreover,
Bonaparte himself had no conception
whatever of any other form of republic
an government than that hideous night
mare which followed the French revolu-
ton.
Washington's greatness was impressed
upon some of the great men of the times
In which he lived even before the world
understood his victories, and there are
some anecdotes Evolutionary respecting
his relations with two of the ablest men
of the Revolutionary period which have
not become threadbare by constant repe-
tition. and which illustrate this impress
sion of greatness which he gave to his
contemporaries.
Two of the abest mon produced by
the Revolutionary era were Jonathan
Trumbull and Benedict Arnold They
were both natives of eastern Connect
cut. Arnold was born only Il few miles
from Trdmbulls home. Trumbull was
a man Of great piety, splendid executive
CBJucity and possessed in the highest de-
gree the qualities of craftsmanship. Ar
mold was intellectually brilliant, but
even in childhood had revealed deficient
moral quality. He would have made a
great business man. and was in, fact EN-.

THE WASHINGTON FAMILY.

In the presidential campaign Of 1876 it
was often remarked as n curious coinci-
dence that of the men elected president
every third one was childless. The list
ran: Washington. Madison, jackson
Polk, Buchanan and-but there seems to
have been break in the line, so that tho
omen failed on Tilden. 1t is also worthy
of remark that these childless men had
singularly happy home lives, and none
more so than George Washington.
Martha cambridge was beauty and
Virginia belle when at seventeen she
married Daniel Parke Gusts. OF their
four children two preceded their father
to the tomb. and when the Widow Gusts
married George Washington in 1859 she
had but IA son and daughter. History
gives us few exquisite glimpses of the
home life of Washington for the next
few years. He and his wife were very
nearly of the same age; both born in
1782: both We're wealthy. refined and of
the highest standing among their Vir-
ginia contemporaries. Washington loved
the two children as his own. There was
nothing to mar their domestic life.
But in l773 Martha Parke Gusts died,
and Washington was long affected with
a strange restlessness. Indeed his do
nestle life never again seemed so calm
till after the Revolution. Martha was
sometimes called the dark lady" or
clark beauty" because of her brunette
complexion, but she was both beautiful
and amiable. The son, John Parke
Gusts. at the age of nineteen married
one of the famous Calvert family at Bal
timore, but he, too, died young-died of
camp fever mt Yorktown soon after the
surrender, leaving four children. OF
these General and Mrs. Washington
adopted two. and these constituted the
Washington family seen in the familiar
pictures.
Eleanor Parke Gusts. the daughter,
was SO young at her fathers death that
she knew no home but Mount Vernon.
In 1899 she became the wife OF Major
Lewis, Washington's sisters son. The
son was the well known George Wash
ington Parke Gusts. an author of some
note. who acquired the famous Arlington
estate. where he died in 1857, His only
child. daughter. married Robert E.
Lee, who thus became the owner Of
Arlington. j. II. b.
