SHORT IN ACCOUNTS.
A Cincinnati Postoffice Clerk Tries to
Cover Up His Shortage.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 3.-There was a
great sensation in the central part of the
city this afternoon on account of eXag-
gerated rumors about the daylight rob-
berry of the postotIice.
1t was after 2 O'clock when Assistant
Cashier Frank H. Sparks was found lying
on the floor in an unconscious condition
by Janitor John WEIGH. No noise had pre-
viously been heard about the place, but
when the janitor gave the alarm all enor-
nous crowd soon surrounded the building
and the money drawer was short $SIG.
Frank f. Parks was arrested tonight
and shortly afterwards confessed that he
got away with the money himself He
was short $2S3.30 and was to settle as
soon as Cashier Tucker returned from
lunch, when he knew ne would be caught.
While Tucker was lunching Sparks took
S5S3.6S from the drawer, put the $o62 in
bills between the leaves of magazine
and $212S in coin in an envelope, hiding
both. After his confession, he told where
this money was and it was recovered;
Sparks is married and belongs to good
family. His friends may make up, the
shortage of $3.50, but Inspector Salmon
says that will not save him from prosecu-
ton. He will have hearing tomorrow.

THE ONLY EXCEPTION.
Grover Cleveland the First President tc
Enter Foreign Legation.
Jyroro tho C;no;pnot; Comn,aroo;l 90.

Grover Cleveland the First President TO
Enter Foreign Legation.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
n zette:
The fact that the president attended
the ceremonies held at the Russian lega-
\ tion on the 9th inst, in memory of the
late Gear Alexander I'LL, marks the first
\ occasion that a president of the United
States during his term of office has, in
his official capacity, entered q foreign le-
CATION. A well known fact that the presi-
dent never accepts any invitation either
to dinners or receptions at foreign le-
CATION, and that throughout the term of
his Office as chief magistrate of the United
States he has never upon any occasion
entered the doors of legation.
The reason for this is because in so do
ing he is conforming to the conditions OF
the Constitution of the United States. In
that instrument is clause declaring that
the president of the United States shall
not during the term of his presidency,
enter foreign country. AS the legations
I'M Washington are each under the flag
of the countries represented they virtual
" represent the countries into which, for
the four years indicated, the president is
prohibited from entering. That President
Cleveland on the 9th inst, made eXcep-
ton to this rule was due to the fact that
the Russian legation represented church
in which the memorial services for the
car were held. AS there is not in Wash
ington a Greek church, and to omit for
this reason the service that was held
wonld have been looked upon by the Rus
sim government as sufficient crumbs for a
recall of their minister, the legation was
made to do duty as a church
In regard to President Cleyeland's ac-
t;on in attending the services on the 9th
;nst at the Russian legation, it would
have been a grave diseourtesy tor nm mt TO
. sian He therefore regarded the legation
Cor the time being as church, and the
fos of the United States of America
went to pay the last sad tribute of re,
snact to the memory of Russia's dead
car.

TERRIBLY OUTRAGED.

Cbarleston, W. Va, ian, e.--Thc stor-
of a startilng outrage was received today
from up Elk river. About 2 o'clock Dec.
9. four men went to the house of John
Mourning, harmless white man, who
lives a!ore, dragged LIN. from bed anG
tried to make him confess 10 the nurdel
of Simon Walkin and his mother in a
suburb of this city four years ago. He
denied all knowledge of the crime,
whereupon the men hung him to a rafter
of his house. Taking him down he again
,swore as to his innocence, whereupon
he was again strung up. The men
let him down and left him half naked,
the thermometer registering several de-
grees below zero. When found several
hours later, he was still unconscious and
his legs were frozen to above his knees
and his ears and nose were frozen. BE
was taken to a friends house and his
condition is still critical.
The sheriff has left for the scene and a
thorough investigation will be made.

INDICATIONS OF PROSPERITY.
The Mill Construction Throughout the
Country the Past Year.


Boston, Jan. 2.--The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter in its setni.annual
review of mill construction throughout the
country tomorrow will say: H4 F-"4!
During the past six months the i'm
provement in the general business situa-
ton of the country has been reflected in
no uncertain manner in the undertaking
of the construction of q large number of
textile plants. In the first six months of
the year 1894 the number of mills was
III, wonderful showing, considering the
condition of the business world. The rec
ord for the year is 263 against 270 in the
corresponding period in 1893 and 1856 for
1882 The record Of mills acquired by
statutes for the whole year is as follows:
New York, 3S; Pennsylvania, 3S; North
Carolina, So; South Carolina, %; Geor-
gin, 1913; Massachusetts, II; Maine, IL;
Virginia, SO; Rhode Island, 8; Texas, z;
Connecticut, T.. ,,,.,,.,,p- ..-.. ..n-'-'
The remaining establishments are d-
yided among the other states After look
ing over the imposing list of additions,
both in buildings and machinery, no other
conclusion can be reached than the Ameri-
can manufacturer is thoroughly alive to
the need of Il modern improved appliance.
In order to meet successfully both the
domestic and foreign competitors and he
goes into the field fully prepared to hold
the domestic market against all Corners.
Very important additions have been made
by large number of companies, some be-
ing such as to double the capacity of the
mills, at

JUDGE COLE SUSTAINED.
BY the Court of Appeals in the Case o
Chapman and Mccarthy.

Chapman and Mccarthy.
Washington, Jan. THE court of ap
peals of the District Of Columbia today
rendered an opinion sustaining the decis-
ion Of Judge Cole in the case of Messrs.
Chapman and Mccarthy, the stock bro
kers who refused to testify before the
senate sugar investigation committee,
regarding individual speculation with
their firm. Judge Coles decision over
ruled a demurrer filed by the brokers to
the government indictment. The case
will now be appealed to the United States
supreme court. The three principal ques-
tons involved, the court of appeals stated
in its oDinion, were the constltutonallty
of section 102 Of the Revised Statutes,
on which the indictments were. based.
Whether the inquiry was within the pow
er of the senate to execute py requiring
witnesses to appear and whether .instruc,,,
lions were pertinent to the inquiry. All
of these questions were answered ADVERSE
ly to the brokers' No doubt was enter
famed by il as to the validity of the
section which embodied the provisions
of the act of Jan. "a, 1851. 1t was not
presented that the defendants belonged
10 that class of witnesses eXempueu
Inv article 5 of the con
sfitution. The act it was eAplalneu'
nuet not he condemned as unconSuIu-
tionol If by any reason of this construc-
t;o- of terms il can be maintained as con-
stitptional and valid. The contention that
the action was an attempt by congress
to delegate it's power and jurisdiction or
the power and the jurisdiction OF the sew
eral houses to punish for contempt OF the
courts and that therefore the statute is
void is not acceded to by the court as
the statute has never been understood
as having any such purpose. The eHort
to show the statute void is pronounced
an utter failure AS to the power OF the
senate to compel witnesses to TESTIFY, the
court said it experienced great diincui.y
in distinctly marking the boundaries III
which either house can act with coerclte
power and compel the disclosure OF 1acts
ideemed important and of delimitlng tne
rights of the citizens to exemption from
Inquiry into his rivaterflv, 10sBfOo CLOCK
Inquiry into his private affairs.
There was no pretense that TO answer
questions would criminate witnesses III
any way and it was their duty as cluzens
to obey the law. The refusal was ut thelr
peril and they must abide by them. =.
