NOT GUILTY.
Charges Made Against L. d. Cabanne and
T. j. Titus Unfounded.

r. H. 1AtuS GnIOun0eQ.
NEW YORK, Oct 26.-The action of the
racing board of the League of American
Wheelman in delaying taking action
upon the charges made against L. D.
Cabanne, F. J. Titus and c. NJ. Murphy,
the class B racing men of violation of
the racing rules has given rise to the
opinion that the charges made against
these riders are groUndless and that the
hesitancy of the board in announcing the
result of its Investigations is due to its
reluctance to ceusure one of its
own board. F. J. Titus, who is impli-
Gated with CAbAnne and Murphy in ar
ranging a deal to arrange a race in St.
Louis in August said that he believed
the racing board would render decis-
ion upon the charges within one week.
Titus expects that the accused riders
will be fully indicated and afhrms that
not particle of tangible proof is in ex-
is'ence to convict any of the men, while
ample evidence mas been submitted to
the racing board to exonerate the men
from the charges.

The boast Of the Topeka
Capital that it pays more
postage than all other To-
peka dailies combined, only
proves the meagerness of its
local circulation as com
pared with that of the STATE
JOURNAL-as no postage is
paid on any circulation
within Topeka Or Shawnee
county.
The STATE JOURNALS local
circulation is far and away
ahead of the combined cir
culation of all the other
Topeka dailies.
The circulation of the
TOPEKA DAILY STATE jour
NAL in the towns near by
and tributary to Topeka is
very large, as the evening
trains in various directions
carry the STATE JOURNAL
giving its readers the first
and latest Associated Press
and state news Of the day.

This is the greatest show
ing the STATE JOURNAL has
ever been able to make for
a period of any six months
in its history.
This is a greater 6gure
than was reached by any

issued in June, 1895, and
covering the year 1894, gives
the average daily circula-

only 8.744 These figures
were furnished by the pub

their correctness.

feature. Though the rate in sterling has

The price is likely to advance 5 cents

from it. as it is now late in the season,

Corn and Oats-Elevator people have
been selling corn. Receivers say there
will be big movement after the first of

to come forward freely, as there is no

Little Child Burned to Death.

Clara Kishbaugh, aged s years, was
fatally burned at her home in Wilkes
barre on Tuesday in an heroic attempt
to save the life of her baby sister, and
died that night in great agony. The
little girl had been left in charge of six
other children, all younger, while her
mother went on an errand. The chill
dren were playing about the room when
piece of coal fell from the fire on the
dress of the baby, and the light material
flared up at once.
Clara beat out the flames with her
hands, and did not notice that her own
dress was ON fire until the flames got be-
yond her control. She dashed into the
street and the passengers on a trolley car
which was passing ran to assist her.
One man threw his overcoat around her
and quenched the flames, but not until
she was dreadfully burned and the flesh
hung in shreds from her arms and body,

The board of health reports that diph-
liberia is spreading in town. There is
now case on Carbon street and another
on North Washington, besides the one
on Ridge. The members intend to apply
to the council for power to take extra
ordinary precautions to prevent it
spreading further.
Berwick is suffering with an epidemic
of diphthera. The dread disease first
broke out the middle of last week, and
by Monday twenty-fonr cases were re-
ported. There have been several deaths.
Services were dispensed with in all the
Sunday schools, and on Tuesday all the
public schools were closed.
The disease also prevails at Wilkes
barre, Tamaqua, Grardsville and sew
eral of the smaller towns of the state.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
What Was Done at the Last Meeting of
the Guardians of the Town.

The Freeand board of health met al
DR.. f. Schilcher's Office on Friday even
ing The members present were: DR.
f. Schilcher, presidents; DR.. II. NJ
Neale, d. J. Mccarthy, Hugh Malloy
and DR.. Geo d. Morton, secretary. The
minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved. In the absence of
Health Officer Ward the secretary re
ported that the majority of the propertJ
owners using the open ditch running
alongside the Public park for drainage
had been officially notified to make con
nections with the borough sewers, ana
nearly all of them had shown a willing
ness to comply with the order and were
doing so under the health officers super
vision as rapidly as possible.
Secretary Morton also informed the
board that three cases of diphtheria had
The first in John McCole's family or
Ridge street, near Carbon, one of whose
children had since died from the disease:
the second in the family of John Krupa
on Carbon street below Washington, and
the third in the family Of Mrs. S. L
Hayes on Washington street, above
Chestnut. The last two cases were re-
ported within the past week. The ne
cessary precautions had been taken ac-
cording to law as far as the existing
circumstances would permit.
After a general discussion in regard
to the danger of an epidemic of diph
iberia being produced in the borough
it was decided that the secretary write
to the president of the borough council,
asking him to call special meeting to
confer with the board of health in re,
gard to quarantining houses containing
cases of diphtheria and taking other
drastic measures to prevent the spread
OF the disease should there be any fur
ther evidence or danger of it becoming
epidemic.
The secretary read letter and cir
cular from DR.. Chas. 2. Knapp, of Wy

About $50 Democrats met at the opera
house on Tuesday evening. The meet
ing was not intended to be a public one,
the object being to have some of the
candidates and the district committee
get together to discuss the situation on
the North Side. The gathering, how
ever, became so large that it was neees-
sary to have few addresses, and the
meeting organized with DR.. L. w. Rut-
ter as chairman: William S. Mclean,
the candidate for judge, James j. Maloy,
the candidate for recorder, and Attor-
ney Mulhall, of Wilkesbarre, made brief
speeches. The general feeling is that
every candidate on the county ticket
will win with handsome majority, and
If the enthusiasm apparent at Tuesday
evenings meeting continues the North
Side will do its part in electing Mr.. Nc
Lean and his colleagues next Tuesday.
