CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

A Massachusetts Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
(Which by the way we should like to
see in every city, borough and town
ship of America) reports the prosecl :
ton ard successful conviction Of 4,I7o
cases since their organization in 1868.
The total number Of cases investigated
by the society from April, 1868, to
March, 1894, was S5,45I, the ma jor-
ity Of which were remedled with out
prosecution. For the year 1893 to
1894 there were 5,3S5 complaints Of
cruelty to animals, besides 900 animals
that were taken from work because Of
their crippled condition or sickness
While most Of these cases were rene,
died without prosecution, by simply
warning the perpetrators as for the
future, still it was deemed best for
pity sake to prosecute a good many in
human brutes not worthy tobe classed
among men.

He suddenly fled yesterday, after

ThE Twin BED.
Fashion Has Adopted Sensible Hy

Fashion Has Adopted Sensible Hy
gienic Fad.
Fashion has given Its sanction to
the use of the single bed, and large
numbers of so-callcd "twin-bedsteads'
are now in the market, and many OF
them made of costly woods rich with
carving. They are so designed that
when placed side by side the effect is
that of one wide bedstead, whereas
separate spring mattress and bee
clothing are provided for each one.
1t is well known that the double bed

In city houses this is notably the
case, and in one home known to the
writer the five servants are all obliged
to sleep in one large room in the base
ment. In every other respect much
kindness is shown them, but In order
that the family may be lodged luXuri-
ously they must suffer. BY the use of
single beds two members of family
who now occupy separate rooms might
be made very comfortable in one,
thus providing an extra room to be
given up to the servants.
1t is far wiser and filter to show
consideration in this way to those who
serve us than to be constantly max

clothing-a practice which never fails
TO have demoralizing effect.

FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING.


WASHINGTON, March 6.--The DEM
ocratic members of the senate finance
committee adjourned a few minutes
after 4 o'clock this afternoon. They
had been holding occasional sessions
during the day, going back and forth
between the senate chamber and the
committee room and appearing at no
time to be very busy. All the appear
ances indicated when they adjourned
that they had conclude their labors.
but they refused to say that they
had, and were very evasive in
their replies to questions. Mr.
Voorhees, said that he had called no
meeting of the full committee. bnt
none of the members would say posi-
lively that no. meeting would be held
tomorrow or that the bill would not be
reported at that time. A circumstance
which confirms the opinion that the
committee has completed its prelimin-
airy work is found in the fact that tbs
bill which it has been engaged upon
was sent to the printer a short time
before the Democratic members of the
committee left the Capitol for their
homes this afternoon.
1t is understood that the threat of
the Republicans to unite upon the
Bland seigniorage bill and if possible
force its consideration in the senate
and provoke a long debate upon it.
has had the effect of Fastening the
action of the committee and possibly
OF bringing about an understanding.
The committee at first considered this
threat very seriously and it has at
least had the effect of Indicating the
probability of diverting the attention
of the senate from the tariff and thus
injuring the prospects of an early con-
sideration of that question. nheir dis

they sent their bill to the printer was

If known that these discussions have
within the past day or two narrowed
down to the question of whad.
II any, increases they would
give upon refined sugar over raw.
Ever since the caucus adjourned it has
been understood among the members
that raw sugar was to be taken care
OF in the interest of the planters, and
to satify the Louisiana senators if they
could be persuaded to accept rate
which the committee would consider
reasonable; but they soon discovered
that the interests of the planters and
the retiners were closely allied, and
That to satify both it would probably
be necessary to do more for the refin-
ers than for the raw sugar men.
The former have held out stiffly for
a substantial difference and the com
mittee has held back, willing, it is un-
derstood, to make a slight increase,
but not all the refners demanded.
The sugar duty advocates profess
Ignorance tonight of what, if anything,
has been done in their behalf, and it
appears proboble that if the com
mittee has really completed its work,
it has decided upon a schedule of
prices and determined to submit it

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 6.-The
Pennsylvania railroad special No. 90,
which arrived at Columbus at $40 d.

two miles east of the city, at $50.
This is the vestibuled limited, and car

generally well crowded with passen-
gers. There is target tower located
at Reed avenue which is two stories
high, and from which the interlock
switch apparatus 10 operated. The
train had just passed the target at a
rate estimated at about 20 miles an
hour, when the last sleeper jumped the
track and was thrown against the
target, being practically smashed into
kindling wood. The force and weight
of the sleeper leaving the track pulled
the other cars off and the whole train
was derailed, but none of the cars
turned over. At the time the train
passed the tower, the crew OF q yard

Major Randle on Trial.

DALLAS, March 6.-Maj. l. G. Ran

murder of Ed 8. Randall in the GRIM
inal court this morning. The attorney
filed a motion to quash the special ven-
ire on account of irregularity in its
drawings and Judge John L. Henry
talked for two hours in support of the
motion. At 80 it was overIuled
Another motion to quash the indict-
ment was then made and Randle's at
torney talked for two hours more.
This motion was also overruled by
Judge Clint. Then came a motion Tor
change of venue and then the
affidavit of 35 parties, who believed
that Randle could not obtain fair
trial was read. Another wrangle arose
over this motion, the county attorney
filing counter affidavit at the Dight
session. 1t was decided to hear testi-
mony in support of this motion. Judge
John L. Henry takes Seth Shepard's
place for the defense, and Col. Jerome
@. Kearby does not appear for the
state. 1t will take 10 or Is days to try
the case, that is, if it is sent to trial.
