A CHILYS STRANGE AFFLICTION.
A Hat Pin Removed from Francis Col
lier and Now He Talks.

Little Francis Collier has been a peculiar
ly affected child during the four years OF
his life, and few days ago a piece of a
hat pin was removed from his abdomen
He Is the son of James Collier. of the I'M
dertaking firm of Collier & Murphy, on
West Maryland street. Although he Is now
four years of age, he has never been able
to talk. This fact has puzzled various ply
sicians. who have been called by the par
ents of the little boy TO treat him, and has
worried his parents not a little. He is
very fat and chubby little fellow, and APP
parently very healthy except to the extent
of his being afflicted with periodical con-
vulsions. He has been subject to these from
the time he was nine months old
At this age he had his first attack For
a time they were very frequent, often COM
ing as frequent as once a week. The child
seemed TO suffer great pain during these
periods and nothing seemed to afford him
relief The parents did everything in their
power to ascertain the cause OF their child's
affiiction and to relieve him. In their eff
forts to do this they have called in five
different physicians to treat him and all
but the last who was called few days
ago. while the boy was suffering from one
of the periodical attacks, failed to ascertain
the true cause of the trouble. When he
was called TO the house he had the child
undressed and made careful examination.
He observed a humping of the abdomen
and Immediately concluded that here was
the seat of the trouble.
He placed his hand over the spot where
the humping occurred and felt a hard OBJ
1ect under the skin. From his further ex-
animation he became convinced that there
was needle under the skin and so in
formed the child's mother. 1t was desired
TO remove il without making an incision,
and DR.. Durham placed his finger imme
seemed to be, and pressing down managed
TO get IL behind the object and force the
point through the skin. When the object
was drawn out il was found to be the
end of hat pin. 1t was a coated pin,
being coated with some sort of black sub
had been eaten off, disclosing the steel.
The piece was about an inch and half
in length and a callous portion had formed
about the place where it had been i'm
bedded in the flesh. The removal OF the
pin gave instant relief to the child, and it
WILSON'S. 1t appears much brighter since
then and is now able to speak few words,
although IL has been but few days since
the pin was removed.
Mr.. Collier was seen at his residence, on
South Illinois street., last night, and gave
the above statement of facts concerning
the case. He said both he and his wife
were at a loss TO account for the presence
of the pin in the chld's flesh. Pheir only
theory is that sometime before the con-
vulsions began he had swallowed the piece
of pin which was removed and that IL had
gradually worked its way to the point from
which Ii was removed. Since the pin was
removed the child is regaining his speech.

CLAY COUNrY's wRETCHED JAIL.
Board of Charities Wants the County to
Build New One.

The Beard of State Charities is anxious
that Clay county shall have a new jail
The old one has been in existence 50 long
that the memory of the Oldest inhabitant
runneth not back to the time when its
ugly and exceedingly limited proportions
did not harass the gaze Of Brazillans. Clay
county has taxable property assessed at
sl2OO0,0OO. and is absolutely free from debt.
A new Jail would cost possibly $4,000. and
the tax levy for il would be so small. the
board urges. that the people of that county
would never feel it. A recent investigation
by a representative of the State board
shows unhealthy condition of things at
the Brazil JAIL II has eight cells and there
are generally from fifteen to twenty prison.
ers, sometimes as high as thirty. The
building rests on the ground and the cells
are Shiny and foul. much so that the
prisoners are allowed to sleep on top OF
these wretched dungeons. for they are
nothing else. The windows to the corridor
are eight feet above the floor and about
on a level with the tops of the cells. The
latter are always dark, wet and noisome.
The cracks between the stone slabs on the
floor have been punched at by the prison
ers for years past, Ii being their custom TO
get rid of bread crusts, cheese rinds, coffee
dregs, etc., by showing ii through into the
holes made in that way long ago. The UNI
healthy effect of such disposition OF jail
slops can be imagined The floor OF the
corridor is always wet with such slop.
The members of the Board of State Char
tiles believe the people OF Clay county are
too enlightened. prosperous. progressive and
humane TO much longer tolerate such
miserable jail. The terms OF office OF the
present County Commissioners expire next
fall. These officials pride themselves on
their record of economy in the administra-
tion of county affairs. Humanity and coun-
ty pride should. however, outweigh such
questions as economy in a county so Well
off as Clay. New commissioners will take
hold in the fall and the Board Of Charities
will await their action in this niatter with
much interest.

CRUSHED UNDER THE CARS.
Albert i. Cotton Killed OH the l.. Z. d
w. Tracks.

Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock Cliff
ford Cotton, the four-year-old son of Al
bert E. Cotton, residing at No. so Omer
street, was run over and killed by an La T..
& w. freight train, short distance from
the observation-disclosures depot He was
playing with several companions and
around some gravel cars that were stand
ing a side track. An engine was switched
off the main track to the cars and was
coupled on. with all the boys on the cars.
When they felt the jar of coupling they at
tempted to get off before the train pulled
out The little fellows jumped heller skel-
ter from the and it was miraculous
that more than Cotton were not injured.
He was the smallest of the boys on the cars
and when he started to leave the he
was afraid TO jump and attempted to climb
down between the cars on the bumpers
while the train was moving.
In some way his clothing got tangled and
he slipped and fell under the wheels Two
cars passed his body and ground him
into pieces. When his companions and the
witnesses Of the affair reached him he was
dead. Coroner Beck was summoned and he
rendered verdict or accidental
death. The body was removed to Flanner
& Buchanans morgue. The funeral ser
vices will be held this afternoon. The boys
father was formerly a merchant policeman
and held this position for many years

THREE COMMITTEES MEET.
Fire Limits Under DiscussiOn-Pay of
Street EOremen.

The finance committee met last night
and held very brief session at which 1t
was decided to report favorably upon the
ordinance authorizing the transfer OF 3d.
600 TO the blank books and stationery and
the printing and advertising funds.
The fees and salaries committee met to
consider the ordinance for the increase OF
the pay of foremen of the street repair
gangs from 81 to s. day. Three of the
foremen appeared before the committee
and presented their side of the case. They
said the Board OF Public Works had al
lowed them the additional amount asked
and afterwards rescinded it's action when
it was learned that the salary was fixed
by ordinance. They also said that it was
not true, as reported, that the laborers
under them would ask for an increase In
case the increase was granted the fore
men. They said the men that were ask
ing the increase were those connected with
the bridge gangs. These men, they claim,
are better paid than any other men con-
nected with the street commissioners de-
partment. This comes from the fact that
they are enabled to work inside upon
rainy days. The street foremen do not
get paid for rainy days when they
cannot work. They do not work
on Saturdays and frequently only
earn So a week, out of which they must
pay for keeling their horses. They say
they are compelled to go at all hours or
the day and night and place danger sg-
nails at dangerous places reported to them,
and that they get no extra pay for this
extra work
The judiciary committee had before 1t
the ordinance establishing fire limits.
Councilman Ryan wanted the bounds es-
tablished as to leave out the southwest
corner fixed by the proposed ordinance.
He wished to exclude that portion lying
street and south of the railroad tracks.
Mr.. Parry, representing the Parry Manu-
featuring Company. and Mr.. Potter. rep
resenting the Atkins works, wanted
this territory included. II. d. Pierce want
ed the limits to stop at California street
extending to the river. The committee was
opposed TO this, however. The request of
Mr.. Ryan was looked upon with favor by
the committee, though it gave no express
sion to whether it would grant 1t or
not The whole matter discussed aE
length and the entire committee Of the
opinion that the limits east should extend
only as far Pine street instead of State
street, and that Ohio instead of Market
street should be the northern boundary of
this eastern spur. The committee also
favored including Fountain Square at the
south end Of Virginia avenue within the
limits. 1t was finally decided to make no
until the committee had had an oppor-
tunity to drive over all of the territory
and view the character of the property
included within the limits.
The committee decided to report against
the ordinance to give r. III. Eldridge &
sheds and office at the corner of louisiana
and East streets.

STREET TO THE PARK
BOARD OF WORKS WILL CONSIDER
OPENING OF SOUTH EAST STREET.
Extension of SheIby-street Asphalt
The judiciary Committee Consid-
ers the Fire Limits Ordinance.

Within a short time the Board OF Public
Works will take I'D the question Of OPEN
ing South East street along the west side
of Garfield Park aid southwark to the
Madison road. Mr.. Meyer has taken Gar
field Park into his special charge, and has
an idea Of making this, the only South-side
park i'm the city. one of the most beautiful
parks of the city. The park has been con-
verted from wild waste, neglected and
overgrown with weeds and underbrush, TO
a pleasant resort That the change Is ap-
preciated by residents of the South Side
is evidenced by the large number that visit
it every Sunday. II the Shelby South
East-street car line were extended to the
park this number would be increased ten
fold AS it is, the park is half mile from
the Shelby-street line and three-quarters
OF mile from the East-street line and 1t
is necessary to walk this distance to reach
1t.
The Improvement of Raymond street,
from Shelby to East street, which has
been ordered. will add greatly to the
feasibility of the park TO vehicles. This
street is to be improved during the sum-
mer, and the gravel TO be used will be taken
from the lake bed in the park. The delay
in the Improvement of the street Is thus
delaying the construction OF the lake. The
city engineer is now preparing the speci-
fications for the Improvement OF the street
and also for bridge to be erected over
Pleasant run upon it. When this is done
the asphalt pavement on Shelby street
will be extended from Pleasant run to
Raymond street, and then, soon as the
Hanway and Yeiser-street sewer is COM
pleted, East street will be paved, making
the park easily accessible for all sorts OF
vehicles.
1t has been suggested to the board that
il would be a good idea to erect a bath
house in the park when the lake has been
completed. Both Mr.. Meyer and Mr.. Kra-
mer are inclined to favor this, and Ii will
receive investigation, and should il be
found practicable IL is not unlikely that

A DOZEN BAD DOLLARS.
The Passing of Them Causes Vermil-
lion County Mans Trouble.

Douglass Hayes, a well-to-do farmer and
stock dealer of Dana, Vermillion county,
this State, was brought here yesterday aft
ernoon by Deputy United States Marshal
Agnew, charged with passing counterfeit
money. Hayes is probably fifty years of
age. and is accused of getting rid of twelve
of about the poorest counterfeit silver dol
lars that Major Carter has scrutinized for
some time. Eleven OF these spurious coins
have been recovered by the government.
Hayes processes innocence, and on his hear
ing before Commissioner Van Buren, last
evening said he sold load of corn and
received the bad money in pay for IT, He
did not deny or wish to deny that he had
afterwards passed this money, but claimed
he did not know IL was counterfeit
Thomas ]. Long. town marshal of Dana,
was here as witness, and from the evil
dence things look somewhat dark for Hayes
The government officials regard IL as a sure
case against him. and say that more evil
dence viii be forthcoming on the trial.
Hayes was held in 500 bond for grand jury
action. He furnished good real estate bond
and returned to Dana last night.

question was argued before the board, that
