COLD AND HUNGRY.
Inmates of the City Prison Suffer fol
Want of Coal.

want Vi (Odls
The question of coal, which has been
perturblng the spirits of officials at the
new City Hall for some time, owing to a
failure of the Supervisors 10 provide money
for the purchase of coal. has worked its
way from the elegant offices of the upper
floors down into the basement of the build
ing. Yesterday morning IL was almost a
matter OF life and death with large num-
Der of the inmates of the City Prison.
There was no coal for the kitchen range
and consequently no breakfast for the in-
mates at the usual hour for the morning e
meal and no warmth.
As the inmates of the jail are principally
un,rled suspects frequently found to be
innocent persons they think they have
some rights which the authorities should
respect, and one of these is he right to
have cup Of warm coffee in the morning.
They therefore raised a clamor when the
trustees issued cold bread and water only
for breakfast. The desk sergeants and
gate-keepers were entirely in sympathy
with them, as the ire in tie sergeants
office had long since died out and the place
was cold and cherries. So there was a
big row all round, and the Supervisors
were roundly anath ematiZed. Finally a
couple of officers started out with coal
buckets and succeeded in getting a little
coal from acQuaintances In the neighbour
hood. Then the fires were lighted and
coffee and meat stew given the hungry
prisoners.
For some days the desk sergeants have
been "rustling" their own coal for the
office fire, borrO wing il from such depart
ments as bad any TO spare, but the reserve
funds are now nearly all exhausted and
yesterday morning the wolf actually poked
bis head In at the prison door.

only under pressure OF an indignant mandate
from the people of the whole country. Ex-
ports OF gold then ceased and 1t was thought
that the silver question had been Sc tiled for all
time and that no further attempt would be
made TO destroy confidence in the basis Of the
currency.
The indignant mandate" came from
half dozen gold papers in New York.
Boston and Philadelphia. The outflow of
gold had ceased when the repeal bill
passed. The supposition that the silver
question had been settled for all time was
not widely entertained. The exports of
gold have again commenced, as is usual in
the spring season, not because the silver
question is not settled, but because the
people have debts abroad that can be paid
only with gold.

number of property-owners on the sfreeI

the enforcement of the order would leave
their houses 45 feet in the air. Mayor
Ellert Investigated the matter and CON

if the thirteen vessels expect to make the
indiscriminate killing of seals Improbable.

The Arrest Of John W. Hillman Calls Up a
Remarkable Crime Committed Years Ago.
A Big Insurance Swindle

Tucson, ARIZ., December 6.-Among
the Huachucas Mountains az Salvation
Army camp, about 40 miles from Tue
son, q man was arrested for whom the
authorities have been looking for years.
He is Joha w. Hiiman, and the cap
ture was made by Sam W. Finley,
deputy collector OF customs at Fogales,
aud Orren Gemmtll, under sheriff OF
La Junta. His capture recalls one OF
the most remarkable cases in the annals
of crime In 1875 HiIlman and two
companions, one OF them resemb-
ling him very closely, took a trip
into the Buffalo mountains OF Texas TO
hunt. They were gone several weeks
and when Hillman ADD one companion
returned the mau bearing so striking
resemblance to him failed TO accompany
them. 1t is charged that Hillman, who
carried an insurance on his life or SSO,-
600, while In the mountains conceived
mUrderOus scheme and killed the mao
who closely resembled him, and re-
turned 10 the settlement He took the
name Of the man whom be had MUIR
dersd and said that Hillmun had been
accidentally shot dead aud buried in the
mountains.
Mrs. Hillman made claim to the life
insurance companies Ia which her hus-
band had been insured for $50, 600. The
insurance people began an investiga-
ton. The remains of the dead man
were exhumed aud IL was then discov-
cred that they were not the remains OF
Hinman. Mrs. HiIlman instituted legal
proceedings in Topeka, Kan, her home,
10 recover the amount Of insurance.
The case was carried from one court TO
another until she secured judg-
ment FOR the principal, interest aud al
torneys' fees 10 the Supreme Court OF
the United States. According To the
order Of the Court the judgment must
be salts fed at the end OF this year.
During all this time the insurance
cOmpanies have kept detectives on the
trail OF Hillman, who disappeared short
IN after. His wife made claim for the
insurance. He was followed to Aus
tralia and other foreign countries aud
reward Of SIS, 600 was offered for his
apprehension, dead or alive. On the
4Jh Of last month Under Sheriff Gem
mil arrived in this territory from Colo
IdQu UuA luLcA OoeSA A. iutNJ IA Wv Se'N'
Gemmil. having learned that Hillman
was in Sonora, he and Finley took the
trail az MaSdalena, Sonora, and fol-
lowed him % Altara, Sonora, thence TO
Prescott, Ariz., Mexico City, Old Glory
camp, and then the Salvation Army
camp in the Huachucas, where he was
arrested. Hillman denied that he was
the right man when told by the officers
for what be was wauted. De vas taken

Kansas City Of the death in jail there
from excessive dissipation OF Mrs. Edith

ing that she is alive and we'll and that
she never went as far west as Kansas
City In her life. 1t has deeply grieved
the family that the old scandal connect
ed with Mrs. Watrous' early career has
been revived by the story Of her death.

Dovie Comstock say that the report that
she was found dead in a cell in the
Kansas City Jail is untrue. They say
that she is living somewhere In Brook

PHILADELPHIA, December 6--The
Pennsylvania railroad, which, for three
years, has been experimenting with long
rails on portions of It's main line, has
secured very satisfactory results. and 10
is probable that il will soon supplant
the present stannard 30.ioOt rail- Inc
advantage possessed by the GO'foot rail-
over the shorter one is the saving effect
ed in the matter OF Joints, Including
fish and bed plates and bolts. Proper
tionately the long rails are not more
expensive than the short, while the dii-
6culty at first experienced on the part
OF the mill TO roll them has been over

rolled as the shorter ones. The com
pany has 10 use from Eve TO ten miles
