Sheriff Hart took Eugene Bronden to the
Boys Industrial School, at Lancaster, o.,
last Friday. He is the boy arrested recently
for breaking into car at New Milford. Be-
fore Judge Sperra he said he was Is years
old, and that his parents lived in Rockport,
Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. On his way to Lancas-
ter he told Sheriff Hart that his parents lived
in Chicago, and that he had served SEN
tence in the Cleveland workhouse and had
also been an inmate of the IndustriaISchool
for reasons similar to those that were then
returning him to the institution He sain he
had fully made up his mind to get living
by professional burglary, and added that he
would soon escape from Lancaster, as he did
before, his manner implying a great con-
tempt for what he regarded as very ineffect-
ual means of keeping boys there against
their will.
In conversation with Sheriff Hart he in
forms us that the Industrial Farm is situated
on high eminence, surrounded by deep
ravines, and all that dissuades such of the
boys as havea desire to run away from the
school is the fear of being hunted down by
the farmers and other residents of the ad
Joining territory, who are allowed S. for each
runaway intercepted. AS soon as a boy is
missing large bell is rung, which is heard
for several miles around, and Immediately
| search begins, dogs being commonly used tc
track the young fugiives. tits rare that the
| attempt to escape proves successful.

with the assistance of private secretary Thurber,
an executive Office will be maintained.
Secretary Carlisle will not be able to take an
extended vacation this year, as there will he
many questions arising out of the administration
of the new tariff law that will require his per-
sonal attention and which delay in answering
would seriously inconvenience many business
men. The condition of the Treasury is much
better than it has been at the end of any month
recently and the probabilities are all in favor of
a continued improvement, owing to the increase
in receipts under the new tariff.
All of the other members of the Cabinet will
take vacations. Secretary Herbert went away
last week, combining business with recreation,
by making a tour of the Atlantic coast navy
yards; Secretary Lamont left with President
Cleveland, and will remain in New York fol
several weeks; Secretary Gresham expects tc
get away in a few days for months stay, g
portion of which will be spent in Indiana and
portion fishing; Attorney General Olney ha.
gone to Boston, and the three or four weeks he
expects to be away will be spent in and neal
| that city Secretary Smith, who has already beer
| to the seashore for few days, will spend few
| weeks in Georgia; Postmaster General Bissel
has gone to Buffalo, where he will meet Mrs
| Bissell and decide where his vacation shall bt
spent, and Secretary Morton will delay his de
parture until the middle of September when ht
will go to Europe.

HON. WILLIAM L. WILSON was renomi-
mated for Congress by the Democrats OF the
Second District of West Virginia, at Martins
burg, last Wednesday. The convention was
one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever
held in that or any other State.
Hon, Stewart Walker. who called the con-
vention to order, made an opening speech In
which he scored Brice, German and the other
conservative" democratic Senators who
consplred to defeat democratic tariff reform,
Mr.. Wilson made very strong and able
speech on accepting the nomination, IN
which he compassed the situation in mar
velously small number of sentences. Among
other things he said: "You have followed
with rising hopes and hearty approval the
action of the House of Representatives in
the framing and passage of measure bear
ing the badge of Democratic principles and
fraught with promised benefits to all the
people. You have followed with waning
hopes and angry disapproval the tedious and
tortuous passage OF that bill through the
Senate, and have seen that despite anominal
Democratic majority in that body. the great
trusts and monopolies were still able to write
their taxes as they had done under Republi-
can rule. in some of its most important
schedules" But my friends,
there lis another and brighter side to this
picture." n "The new bill means
cheaper clothing, cheaper tools, cheaper
pottery, and many other necessaries for the
people. 1t means freer and larger commerce
with those nations that buy our farm pro-
ducts.u eff we denounce some
of its duties and rates it is because what may
he much lower than the rates and duties of
the Mckinley bill are yet enormities in
Democratic bill"
