-Four thousand families, comprising
some 10000 persons, benefited by the an
nual Christmas day distribution Of "hot-
pots by the Liverpool authorities. Each
hot-pot contained three pounds of beef

DESERTED VILLAGE.
Male Residents of Frcdonia Left Early to
Avoid the Deputy Sheriff.
TSu fha TTpitad Dracc

By tne united PreSS.
Buffalo, Jan. 10.-The trolley lime be-
tween the village of Fredonia and the
city of Dunkirk, Chautauqua county,
carried majority of the male residents
of the village AWAY from their homes
and places of business this morning,
and wher they returned home last
night 1t was late and by stealth. The
reason for the disappearance of all the
men was the report which got abroad
last night that Deputy Sheriff Taylor
was going to serve a bundle of sub
poenas today in the case of the people
against Anthony Laux, who was ON
trial at Mayville, the county seat, for
viola ton of the excise law.
Nearly every man i'm Fredonia could
give testimony against him, but none
cared to do SO. Taylor rounded up five
of his witnesses and took them to May
vile. This trial is one Of the events Of
the seventeen year fight which the Pro-
hibitionists and the license people of
Fredonia have been fighting. A case
against the proprietors of the Columbia
hotel is also to be tried. 1t is in evil
dence that the bar was on the top floor
of the hotel and each guest who wanted
a drink paid or 10 cents to the elevator
boy, according to his taste. The liquor
men say they will appeal to the state
legislature for relief from the enforce
ment of the dry laws.

Poor House Who Has Been Dumb for
Years, Suddenly Receivers His Speech.
By the United Press.
Pittsburg, Jan. 10.-John Connell, an
inmate of the city poor farm at Mar
thalsea, since October, will be released
tomorrow. When he went there Con-
nell was insane and dumb. His cure
has been affected by a clap of thunder.
Director George Booth, of the depart
ment Of charities, and Superintendent
Linderman, of the farm, vouch for the
truth of the story.
On Sunday might last Connell went to
his room as susual. He had been acting
very queerly, and his roommate was
cautioned to keep a watch over him.
About midnight the two We're awak-
ened by the storm which began that
night The storm was broken by one
tremendous clap of thunder. The peal
had hardly died away when COnnell
sprang from his bed and raised a shout
that startled the entire building. Find
ing that he could shout the man began
dancing about the room as If craZier
than ever. He yelled, clapped his hands
UlIu SetIS Willie ut7dlS VI JOY IdI uoNul
his face. Up to. that hour none in the
establishment had known his name.
Being dumb he could not give any ac-
count of himself.
Now, however, he has given his name
as John Connell, and says he was born
in Pittsburg and seven years ago went
west. Eventually he secured work at a
mine owned by a California company.
His brothers obtained work in the
same mine. One day There was a ter
rife explosion in the mine and Connell
was the only man taken out alive. His
two brothers We're killed. Connell was
removed to a hospital, maintained by
the Miners union and after being un-
| conscious for ninety-siX hours recov-
cred to find his voice gone and his mind
wandering.
He was awakened on Sunday night,
he says, by the clap of thunder and re-
| CARDS his recovery as miracle. Dur
ing his lucid intervals Connell says he
prayed frequently for a restoration of
his faculties. He says the loss of his
hearing was attributed by the Califor-
mia doctors to the explosion of dyna-
| mite in the mine.

way of a suit for injunction against
the assessment or collection of tax;
and 1t was that section which the
amendment proposed to set aside for
the special purpose of testing the con-
stltutionality of the income tax.
A notice of the amendment on the

bill and the amendment went over
without action till tomorrow-Mr.
Quay giving notice of other amend

Message to the Legislature.

message to the Legislature.
By the United Press.
Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 10.-The message
which Governor Altgeld sent to the leg
islature today is a long document. high
ly tinged with his Populist and Socialist
leanings. In connection with the Chi
cago strike he assails the constituted
federal authority and particularly the
administration of the federal courts.
Taking up the question of the great
strikes, he reviews the many reports
which have been made and says the
placing of United States troops on duty
in Chicago under the conditions that
existed presents 81 question of the most
far-reaching Importance. He con-
tinues:
The old doctrine of states rights, says
the governor is in no way involved. No
body for moment questions the supre-
macy of the Union. The great civil war
settled that. We should not have an
archy. 1t remains to be settled whether
the president can, at his pleasure, in the
first instance, send troops into any city,
town or hamlet in the country under pre-
tense of enforcing some law, his judgment
being the sole criterion. There can be no
uiilcieHte Whatever III tillS respect Dt-
tween the powers of the president and
those of Emperor William or the czar of
Russia. If the acts of the president are
to stand unchallenged and thus form a
precedent then we have undergone a
complete change in our form of govern
nient, and whatever semblance we may
keep up in the future, our career as a re-
public is over. We still have "a rapidly in
creasng central power controlled and
dominated by class and corporate inter-
ests. If these conditions are to continue
the fate of the American laborer is sealed
He must be reduced to the lowest condi-
tions % existence, and this must de-
stroy that very capital which is now push
ing him down, for with the destruction of
the purchasing power of the American
laborer will disappear our great Ameri-
can market. Further, this process must
produce discomfort, disturbance and ha-
tired, and will increase the expense of gov
renment and consequently taxes. Rus
sianizing government Is an expensive
business, and has never yet succeeded
not even in Russia.
Our government Is not in the slight
est danger from the anarchistic mob Our
danger comes from that corruption
usurpation, insolence and oppression that
go hand in hand with vast concentration
and it behooves every friend of Republi-
can institutions to give these things most
serious consideration.
