A country correspondent makes
the following inquiries with regard
to the American League:
For the benefit of some country res
idents who do not have opportunities
for getting at facts as much as they
would like, would you mind giving in
the GAZETTE some enlightenment on
the true inwardness of the American
League? What are It's objects and
purposes, as differing from the An
nexation Club? And why did they
find it necessary to form a separate
organization, instead of working
through the Annexation Club? Has
it any honorable purposes that could
not have been subserved through that
club? What is the character of its
personnel"
i have an idea that its name is CAL
culated to mislead those who are not
well informed.
The GAZETTE has given an &C
count of the formation of the
American League, and from time
TO time A brief account of its pro-
ceedings. These have not always
been as full as desirable, because
the League is Il secret organization
Its objects, however, are no secret,
but are well understood. 1t is
composed largely of Americana,
most of them also members of the
Annexation Club, and its object is
\ to strengthen the Government in
its purpose to secure annexation to
the United States. Its member
ship is not confined to persons
of any particular occupation or
walk of life, but includes all sorts
and conditions of men, the only
requirements for admission being
American citizenship or descent,
and fidelity to annexation. The
League represents particularly the
"left," or radical, wing of the an
nexation party.

OF the state Militia to be Organized in
This City.
For several weeks past number Of
nentlemen who are interested in Mill
tary matters have been quietly at work
in trying to secure sufficient men to or
ganze an artillery company for the
State militia. Mr.. r. II. ID. Willis and
DR.. Il. B. Baguley have been most
active in the matter. Two meetings
have already been held and about
twenty-five or thirty. names have been
secured. An effort will be made to In
crease the number to seventy-five, and
another meeting will be held some
evening this week.
Wheeling is behind the smaller cities
of the State In this matter. There are
good companies OF militia in number
Of cities, but the military spirit does
not seem to be very strong among the
young men Of Wheeling.

FREE COUNTY ROADS
DEFEATED IN TIE BOARD OF COMMISSION
Frs, YESTERDAY,
BY Vote Of Seven 10 Thrss-Ths Miscellaneous
and Routine Business Transacted
at the Session.

The principal topic of interest before
the Board of Commissioners, at Yester-
terday's regular session, was the resolu-
ton, notice of which was given month
ago by DR.. Bates. providing for free toll on
the roads and pixies of the county. Th Q
matter came up towards the last Of the
session, after the routine business Of
the meeting had been disposed OF, and
was quite extensively debated by
Messrs. Bates, Maxwell and Baird, for
the resolution, and by McGreRor, Vol
linger and Irwin against the measure.
During the session several petitions In
favor of abolishing tolls were presented
and read.
The resolution offered by DR.. Bates
was as follows:
''WHEREAs. The system of levying tolls
upon the people, for use of the public high
WAYS, is still maintained in the county OF
Ohio, while elsewhere in the world it has
been long since abandoned, as a relic OF
q past age, and no longer consistent with
the spirit and progress OF the times; and,
WHEREAS, The maintenance OF such
system bears with undue and unnecessary
severity upon q COulpdLdlINSly ouia4l PAO-
portion of the people, while the whole COM
munity profits thereby; therefore, be it
"ResOlred, That on and after the first day
of April, 1895, the levylng of tolls DE abolish
ed, and the collection of the same be dis
continued, upon all the public roads OF
Ohio county, and said roads be open to
travel free Of toll"
The discussion on the resolution was
opened by MIR. McGregor, who spoke in
opposition, alleging various reasons
why the change was not practicable or
desirable at this time, and he was
answered by Messrs. Bates and Baird.
who strongly urged the justice and de-
STABILITY of the change, DR.. Bates ad-
ducing some figures in support OF the
measure which have heretofore APP
peared in the REGISTER. The debate
was continued at considerable length,
and when vote was reached the result
was: Ayes 3. nays z, the former Messrs.
Bates, Maxwell and Baird.
Dr. Bates then offered the following:
"ResOlred, That the Committee on Roads
and Bridges be. and it is hereby Instructed
to carefully canvass the toll schedules OF
the several roads of the county upon which
tolls are present levied, and report to
future meeting Of this Board, such amend
ments aud revisions as may seem expedient
and proper"
This resolution was carried, and so
the matter rests for the present.
Committee bills were reported and
ordered paid as follows:

Fire on ouebec Street.

The alarm pulled in from box IL at $40 p.
m. yesterday was caused by blaze on the
premises No. 80 Quebec street, owned and
occupied by Albert S.. Mundee, the teamster.
The premises consist of story and half
dwelling, with one story ell and small barn,
all connected. Mr.. Mundee and family had
gone to hear Gen. BOWS open air address on
Howardsstreet, and there was no one in the
house, when neigh discovered flames
issuing from the ell close by the rear spring
door, and adjoining the barn. Notwithstand-
ing the promptness of the department, the
fire had got into the barn, and that and the
ell were pretty well soaked and burned be-
fore the flames were extinguished. The main
house was. not hurt much, but the heat was
SO great the walls were blistered in .places.
Mr.. Mundee couldn't imagine how the fire
caught. He is insured for $1,000 with H. A.
Harmon in the Firemen's Fund, which will
more than cover the loss. ~

Discouraged Fishermen.

''Don't you know of job I.could get to do
for three or four days. I'd like to earn
money enough to take me home again?''
said discouraged fisherman. one of the
crew of the Gloucester schooner Conductor,
yesterday. There's no money in the fish
ing: business this year, he added.
The Conductor was out three weeks, and
put in there for ''seoond bait.'' and will at
once return to the banks. -sShe brought in
only 5000 pounds of cod and paddock, and
200 pounds of halibut, a bout half enough. to
pay for the original outfit.
Fishing on the banks is reported as very
bad. Very few fish are to be found, and the
Gloucester schooners there, and there are a
number of them, are doing nothing Just
where the fish have gone, is what the Oldest
fisherman is unable to say. The fishermen
are almost completely discouraged with their
continued hard luck.

GEN. BOWS OUTDOOR GRAFTON.
He Denounces the Pullman strike-Strong
Drink is the Cause of Mob Violence.

Yesterday at o'clock, several hundred
people assembled at the open lot on the
corner of Quebec and Howard streets to
listen to Gen. Neal Dow on the subject of
''Mobs, Riots, Violence, Outrage, Law. Or
der, Public Welfare. Which Shall We
Have?''
After the excitement occasioned by the
fire, described in another column. had sub
sided, a still large number of people crowded
around the venerable but still vigorous
speaker.
Gen. Dow denunced Debs and the Pullman
strike, and expatiated upon the folly and
wrong of such sympathetic strikes.
He declared that the ouJrages perpetrated
by the mob, that was the result of this
strike and is the result of others. were due
to open rum shops. Those Chicago mobs
were infiamed with rum. Unles excited by
liquor those men would not have gone to
such extremes.
He cited the case of the great mob that
controlled Dublin for eight days when he
himself was in England. The mob was
uncomfortable, but at last orders were given
to the soldiers to close all the rum shops in
the city. This was done and the mob melted
away as the light of a candle goes out be-
meath an extinguisher.
Gen. Dow spoke for some time, and was
listened to with the closest attention.

to help out the running express of this city,
which if they keep on they will be likely to
do to a very liberal degree for men of their

HORRIBLE CRUELTY.
A Starving Horse Left to Die in a
Pasture.

So Weak That 1t Could Not Stand Up
Laid Two Days in Agony While the
Flies Fed On Its Open Sores-A Living
Heap of Bones.
Yesterday two young men drove to
Portland from Cape Elizabeth to make
complaint to Agent Perry in regard to
cruelty to a horse. Last Friday this
horse was turned into Nathan Dyer s
pasture. Yesterday morning the animal
was lying on the ground in terrible
condition of weakness and disease To
all appearances it was in such starved
or diseased condition when turned into
the pasture that it was too weak to
browse even and fell down. Some boys
said yesterday that the horse had been
lying there for four days.
1t had moved around on the ground in
it's efforts to rise and worn the skin from
its body in several places. The poor
animal was in terrible condition of
emaciation, being nothing but skin and
bones. 1t would weigh, it is said, scarce
ly 400 pounds, though its large frame in
dicates that in good condition it would
weigh 1900 pounds. Under its forelegs
were large fostering sores where the flies
in dense masses were eating the poor
animals rotting flesh.
Yesterday the young men who brought
the news to Portland carried some tree
branches to the PROSTATE animal and it
ate the leaves greedily, showing that it
was more hunger than disease that caused
its weakness. They drove away the flies
and covered the animal with branches SO
as to keep them away.
1t was said that the horse belonged to
one Silas Allen. But he appeared on the
scene of the tragedy yesterday morning
and denied that the horse was his.
Whoever it was that owned the poor
animal, he had evidently worked and
starved it almost to death, and then
turned it out to die in this horrible man
ner, without even having the mercy to
kill it. Why the people who have known
OF the horses misery have not mercifully
killed it we cannot state, but that Agent
Perry will investigate the matter and
bring the inhuman owner to justice we
can state.
