Alfred Taylor, Now Being Prosecuted
With Oscar Wilde, Proposes to
Drag Down Many Prominent Men.

London, April S.-There is not the
slightest ground for the report that
Oscar Wilde attempted to commit
suicide, and it is not true that even a
rumor TO this effect was current here
last evening.
Further startling revelations in con-
nection with the Wilde case are limited
at. 1t is said that Arthur Taylor has
determined to drag down with him all
he can if he is prosecuted, and that
this will involve one of the most prom
inent men in England, whose name
has been freely whispered about in
connection with this scandal.

Boston, April S.-Rev. Isaac ]. Ian
sing, pastor of the Park Street Church
in this city, who, in an address before
the New England Methodist Confer
ence, at Salem, last week, accused
President Cleveland Of intemperance.
tonight declared himself as follows on
the subject:
my illusions, made in temperance
address at Salem on Thursday, April
4, to the drinking habits of the Presi-
dent of the United States, were based
partly on common report and partly
on the testimony Of eye witnesses.
THE case being one Of conflict OF
testimony between witnesses Of equal
creditability, I cannot decide which,
and since l have no personal knowl-
edge, apart from the testimony,
Withdraw the statements ana tender
apolOgetic and sincere regrets to Che
President of the United States and to
the public" ~ .
New York, April S.-Indignatioq OF
the intensest kind has been exhibited
along the Democratic side of New
York and other cities over tile attack
made upon President Cleveland at the
New England Methodist Conference
by the Rev. 1. J. Lansing, of Boston,
charging the President with drunken
ness at a public dinner in New York.
The three dinners referred to are
those of the Chamber Of Commerce,
given at Delmonicos on November 10,
1892, dinner at the home of Henry
Willard, two days later, and that Civ
en- by the Reform Club, December 10,
1892.
Chauncey NJ. Depew said: There is
only one reply that can be made to
such a lstory-it is absolutely con-
temptible and absurd. At the Cham
Der Of Commerce dinner l sat near
Mr.. Cleveland. | saw him from the
time that he came until he went
away. | can say that he was abso-
lutely sober and in full command Of
his faculties. He conducted himself
in a way that the world at largo
would expect from the President Of
the United States"
Frederick R. Coudert said:
"The suggestion of the assertion
that President was drunk, is too con-
temptible for notice. / was present
at the Reform Club dinner of that
year. sat next or almsot next to
the President, and say that he from
first to last conducted himself
AS A GENTLEMAN ''s
and in a manner beftting his Office"
e. Ellery Anderson said: 81 was
one of the guests at the dinner given
by Mr.. Willard. Incidentally, too, l
presided at the Reform Club dinner.
On both these occasions, as on every
other on which l have met President
Cleveland during an Acquaintance OF
many years, he has conducted himself
in a. way, if possible, to increase the re-
spect of his fellow men. We all felt
proud of our President. He was al
ways a gentleman"
The Rev. w. H. VibbeTt, of Trinity
Chapel. said: THE story is ridiculous
and worse, untrue. DR.. Lansing has
been misinformed. l was present at
the Chamber of Commerce dinner sat
next to President Cleveland, talked to
him. heard his admirable address and
can say that he was in the fullest COM
mand of himself from first to last.
How on earth such a story could be
told puzzles me. 1t is almost too abb
S11rd for denial

DOUBT REMOVED

Madrid, April S.-Further evidence,
if any were needed, of the loss of the

on which was written in pencil a
message, which is dated March 10, at
9 p. M, twelve miles distant from
Baio Aceitanos, states that the posi-
tion of the vessel was then hopeless.

EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY.

We learn that an important ex-
change of property took place day or
two ago. Michael Mahoney's farm of
140 acres, near Red Jacket, known as
the Garrett farm, becomes the prop
erty of A. G. Pirath, and the latter's
house and lot at the corner of Broad
and Vine streets comes into the pos
session of Mr.. Mahoney. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Mahoney receives about
$1,000 for his farm and Mr.. Pirath
gets about $500 for his property.
This would indicate a strong advance
in the value of farm lands, as we'll AS
city property, during the past few
years. Five years ago Mr.. Mahoney
paid $4,000 for his farm, and the ad-
vance in value is therefore a goodly
percentage.
Mr.. Pirath will move out to the
farm and engage in stock raising to a
considerable extent.

If he could not perform the duties, he

OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS.

In looking over last weeks paper we
were surprised to see the bills that
were charged to the county. Only a
short time ago there never was such a
thing as law suit in Jamestown, but
now little fight in Madison Lake
village only cost the taxpayers few
hundred dollars and is not settled yet.
If the people will fight, why not let
them pay their own bills and not
charge them to the taxpayers, who are
commencing to think they have
more than they can do. There
are some people asking aid of
the county that have more than
many of the Woodworking tax
payers, including such things as
plush chairs, lace curtains and carpets,
etc. We don't know how the rest of
the county feels about it, but James
town thinks it is disgrace.

man at the head of the people who
during the past two years had stood
by his convictions at all times. This
man is one which the party should be
proud of, and he will lead the party on
to victory this spring. He presented
the name of Edgar Weaver, and asked
the convention to continue him at the
head of affairs in this city.
e. l. P. Staede seconded this nomi-
nation and moved that it be made by
reclamation. This was heartily and
unanimously carried.
Mr.. Benedict moved that COM
mittee of three be appointed to wait
on Mr.. Weaver and bring him before
the convention. Mr. Weaver was in
the rear of the room in the crowd and
called out, You don't need COM
mitJee." He then advanced and was
received with applause.
Mr.. Weaver thanked the conven-
tion for the honor conferred upon
ment of his honesty, at least. The
council during the past two years has
been one of mild dissensions, but no
material damage had been done. Dur
ing the coming term the executive
and council would work together.
There will be troublesome questions
before the council, and if any one does
not care to meet them, he had better
not accept nomination today. All
the offices will be found to be trying.
He pledged the delegates to do what
he could for economy and fairness in

due to the absence of any division on
the mayoralty question, Mayor Wea-
ver's nomination being a foregone
conclusion. The only office about
which there hung any uncertainty
was that of city recorder, and even the
element of closeness in that contest
was removed by the strength which

and thought to relieve his wounds by
wrapping around each of the sore ting-
ers cloth or bandage soaked with
spirits of turpentine. Soon afterwards,
not realizing the risk which he was
running by so doing, he started to

the match ignited the turpen
tine, and both bandages blazed
up. They could not he readily
