three bodies entwined around helpless victim
They represented the worst conceivab bic COM

walked TO the corner, seized the mantle and tore
it away a general cry of horror rose at the
sickening sight which thus revealed. The
miserable prisoner on his knees, with his
hands braided behind his back and his head
falling on his chest, was entirely covered with
cuts and blood, so that he seemed TO have been
scalped He tried to look up.
"Untie him immediately" cried the captain.

Three soldiers came forward, united him,

The others, maddened at the sight hit the
brigands with the stock of their muskets.

PLAINTIFF A NONRESIDENT.
A Case Involving the Election of
Santa Fe Directors.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. ga case iavolV-
ing the election of directors for the Santa
Fe Railroad Company came up to-day be-
fore Judge Foster in the United States
District Court. The point involved is
whether the cumulative system Of voting
shall be allowed.
As soon as court convened this afternoon
the question of jurisdiction was raised by
the defendants. 1t was argued that the
United States District Court of Kansas
had no jurisdiction, because neither the
complainant, who is William Palmer
Smith of New JERSEY. nor all of the de-
PENDANTS were residents of Kansas; that
In order to give the court Jurisdiction
either the complainant must bea citizen of
Kansas or all of the defendants must be.
Counsel for the minority stockholders
argued that while the court might not have
Jurisdictl q over those defendants who
are nOn-reSidents of Kansas, yet that fact
would not Gust it OF jurisdiction of the
case itself. or over those defendants who
were residents of Kansas.

vIsement, and will pass on this point in

Mr.. OIney Deals Body Blow to
Governor Til!man's South Caro-
lima Dispensary Law.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The Attorney
General to-day rendered an opinion on the
South Carolina dispensary case presented
by Governor Tillman, in which he sus-
tains the ruling of the Treasury Depart
ment, holding that the Safe has no au-
thoyity In the law to enter the Government
bonded warehouses for the purpose of seiz-
ing whisky declared by the State law to be
subject 10 confisca leu. In the course of
his opinion the Attorney-Genfral says:
1.-The legal status of distilled liquors in
bonded warehouse of the United States
Internal Revenue is definitely stated and
settled by section 934 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, which de.
clares that al. property taken or detained
by any officer or other person under au-
thority of any revenue law of the United
States shall be repleyina BILE and shall be
deemed to be in the custody OF the law
and subject to the orders and DEGREES of
the courts of tho United States having
jurisdiction thereof. 1t cannot be held, ss
has been suggested, and perhaps might
well be, that since the tariff act of 1894 the
taxes due on distilled liquors in United
States bonded warehouse can be paid only
by the distiler. Whether that be so or not
a tender of such taxes by Sheriff is nee
essarily ineffec ual as against the statute
above quoted, since it is beyond the power
of an Internal Revenue Collector to accept
1T and thus nullfy the provisions and de-
feat the policy Of statute which aims to
absolutely exempt such liquors from the
operation OF the process of 4 State court.
Such ten der. which. for the reason stated.
the Collector is incompetent to accept,
must be also Intellectual because n officer
| of South Carolina has been given the right
or power to make 1.-THE legislation of

tender nor providing any fund which can

Is a Gentleman Whose Every In

Virtue.

New YORK, Oct. 29.-Commissiona ar
Sheehan was again on the wltuess-stand
Before the Lexow committee to-day. He
made some corrections in preceding por-
tiOns of his testimony. One was with
reference to bis partnership with Mr..
Brown. He produced printed notice of
a prospective partnership which had been
mailed TO friends early in February, 1892.
He was not appointed Police Commits
siener until March Of that year. He had
intended to resign his position on the
Auueduct Board about May /, but his
appointment to the Police Board came be-
fore that time. Mr.. Sheehan also pre-
sented a paper which proved to be the
first notification TO bidders in the Long
Island contract, in which it was shown
that a check for ) per cent OF the bid was
inclosed in an envelope. His information
on his point was obtained from Mr..
O'Bren. He knew nothing of it other
wise The Commissioner, referring to the
fact brought out by Mr.. Golf that no
Judge ever rendered a decision declaring
pool-sellng illegal, cited decision by
Judge Van BruDt IN the case of Thomas
F. Wynne. The Court of Appeals had up
held the decision. =
''Pm glad you mentioned that case,"
said Mr.. Goff. That's the case of the
Barclay-street bookseller who said he was
common carrier"
Mr.. Sheehan stated that no action had
been taken in the case, but be had been
ready to vote on it. He admitted that the
Levin trial had not been decided as
promptly as 1t should have been. In re
ply TO question as to how many times
during the two years he had been Com
missioner he had heard that protection
money was being paid to the police for
various forms of vice Mr.. Sheehan said he
had heard i. less since he had been COM
missioner than before he came on the board.
The Commissioner said he considered the
Superintendent better qualified TO investi-
gate such cases than the board was.
"Have you ever heard" Mr.. Goff asked.
with smile, "that every Police Commis-
sioner was corrupt and bribe-taker ex-
cept Commissioner McLean?"
The witness became angry at that. 81
won't say whether I heard it said or moi"
he said. II have read that some Repn BILL
can stump speakers had expressed them
selves in such a manner, and probably
they are all oribe-takers themselves.
They lied."
Goff, "that the people of New York were
indebted to Richard Croker for closing the
poolrooms."
81 said he was always doing good
things" said Mr.. Sheehau.
$50 the fact remains that it remained
for Richard Croker, private citizen, to
force the Commissioners 10 do their duty"
sneered Mr.. Goff.
81 did not admit that" said Mr.
Sheehan. angrily.
Regarding Dool-selllng, the Commits
sioner said that be was satisfied that the
sellers paid the police for pro otection, but
he could not trace the money. He had
heard that Superintendent Byrnes got it.
but doubted the truth of this report.
The committee took an adjournment
until tomorrow. when the taking Of evi-
dence will be resumed. with Commissioner
