KILLED HIS INFANT CHILD.
That Is the Charge on Which Daniel Elan.

That Is the Charge on Which Daniel Elan.
nighan Is in Jail.
Charged with brutally beating his
l0-months-old child so badly as to cause
its death, Daniel Flannighan was late
last night arrested in the North End.
He is a miner and was arrested as he
emerged from the slope of the West
Ridge mine. 1t is probable that enough
revolving details will be rehearsed at
this mornings hearing to send Flanni-
CHAN to jail to answer in court the hor-
rible charge of infanticide.
The prisoners wife, Kate. told AL
derman Roberts yesterday that on Jan.
81 her husband had knocked her down
and had also committed the more seri-
Gus act of beating their little 10
months-old babe. The baby died on
Feb. from the effects of the unflial
act so Mrs. Flannighan stated. A war
rant was then issued for the husbands s
arrest.
Patrolman Saltry placed Flannighan
under arrest as he emerged from the
West Ridge slope shortly before mid
night. The prisoner was first taken to
his home, back OF Clark's greenhouses,
where he was given an opportunity to
change his clothing. He was then
locked in a cell in the North End sta
ton house.
To a Tribune reporter Flannighan
would not discuss his case. He is a
stupid. coarse and brutal looking man.
He will be given a hearing by Alderman
Roberts at . o'clock this morning

WILL GET NO ASSISTANCE.
Poor Board Thinks That 1t Cannot La
gally Pay Salary OF u Helper for Mrs
Dupgun.


Duggan.
Yesterdays meeting of the poor board
was remarkable one, owing to the
predominance of distressed aliens who
applied for relief. They presented a
destitute appearance in some cases, and
desired to be shipped back to the old
country.
Director Shotten reported that the
representatives of the board had con-
ferred with the committee of the
Board of Associated Charities with re-
gard to the proposal that the board
should contribute toward paying the
salary for an assistant for Mrs. Dug
gan. Attorney Scragg had, however,
advised them that such action on their
part would be Illegal. No action was
taken in the matter, so that the pro-
posal will not be further considered.
a letter was read from the supern-
tendent of the Elwyn Home for feeble
minded children, apologizng for the ap-
parent discourtesy shown toward the
board, and explaining that the mistake
arose in an accidental manner.
The auditors report for the past year
was presented as follows: Warrants
outstanding Dec. 81, 1893, sS9O.19; sal
aries and services, 3,00643 outdoor
relief, $1l,1SI47; supplies, S1S,946.71; i'm
provements and repairs, $26,4l3.31; !;

ture, $l,159.l4: miscellaneous, $2G2S.73.

warrants cashed during 1894. $72, 949.2S
leaving a balance on shand of 81. 903.S1.
The auditors reported that the ac-
counts of the secretary and treasurer
were found to be correct, and that they
had visited the poor farm, where
everything was stated to be in good or
der, the inmates and property being
well cared for. They approved of the
action Of the board in purchasing ad-
dtiOnal farm land and considered the
money well invested. The amount of
outdoor relief during the year was
large. but the period was an 'unex-
ceptionally hard one" They recon-
mended that the alderman's fees for
orders be discontinued If that course
could be adopted legally. The report
was signed by w. j. Costello, Frank T
Okell and c. II. Won Storch. At the
conclusion of the meeting Mrs. Duggan
brought several cases to the attention
of the board which were disposed of.

OLDEN TYNE CONCERT,
Delightful Evening at the Green RidgS
Presbyterian Church.


Songs of Ye Olden Tyne" We're very
appropriately rendered by quaintly-at-
tired musicians in the lecture room of
the Green Ridge Presbyterian church
last evening under the able director
ship of Charles T.. Whittemore. The
fame of the choir had attracted such
n number that extra chairs had to be
provided. The performers, about thir-
ty-tive in number, Were alfred in cos
tunes of the old English style and pre-
sented u most picturesque appearance
on the platform.
The concert opened with selection
by Conrads orchestra. after which the
choir sang Majesty" and "Sherburne.'
The latter tune is peculiarly typical of
the popular sacred music of the early
part of the century, in English churches,
and the hearty and free manner in
which 1t was sung was a natural re-
production of the work of the early
choristers and musical congregations

materially to the success of their per-

has an expressive contralto voice, sang

a well-earned encore. Mrs. Goodwin,
whose appearance gave a good idea of
the old English matron, sang within a
Mile of Edenboro Town" Altogether
twenty selections were rendered, sew
eral being repeated.
Doughnuts, ginger cakes and hot cof-
fee were served by ''ye old people" after
the entertainment,

A mysterious case, back of which
turks crime, has been revealed under
peculiar circumstances in the North

The Polander came from Priceburg

Non-Resident Hunters.

A writer in the Detroit Free Press
picks out several defects in the new law
enacted at the last session of the legsla-
ture regulating hunters and hunting, re-
quiring hunters te procure licenses, and
restricting the number of deer that may
be killed by each hunter etc. Among
other things section 26 imposes license
fee OF S25 on nonresident hunter OF
the state. while added section 81 pro-
vides for granting license to resident
hunter for the nominal sum uf fifty cents,
comforting the same privileges that the
S25 license does. Can there be any ques-
tion that the provision imposing the
larger fee upon the nonresident hunter
is unconstitutional and void? 1t directly
conflicts with clause 1, section 2, article
4, Of the constitution of the United
States, which reads:
1.-The citizens of each state shall be en-
titled to all the privileges and immuni-
ties OF the citizens Of the several states"
By decisions Of the highest state courts
and of the United States supreme court
already made, and which ought to have
been known by even the average Michi-
gan legislator, the construction of the
provision has been settled In favor Of the
nonresident hunter. No higher tax can
be imposed upon nonresident than
upon a resident, and license fee is tax,
whether imposed on hunter or ped
dler. The nonresident hunter may come
into the state and hunt deer or other
game on the same terms and subject to
the same restrictions as the resident
hunter 1t is his constitutional right to
do So

PRONOUNCED A SUCCESS.
Bench ana lHar of Wayne County Pleased

The following from the Detroit Even

Judge Norman w. Hare, will be OF local
interest, as the gentleman has host OF
friends in this county:
Court room No 6 has been in operation
since Sept. last, and the following cases
have been disposed Of: Twelve divorce
cases. is miscellaneous chancery cases
and . injunctions dissolved. Wayne
county has been lucky in securing Judge
Norman w. Haire to conduct this extra
branch Of court, and il the result OF his
brief administration here can be taken
as a criterion, the new law which pro-
vides for the relief Of the Wayne circuit
court is a thorough success. The insti-
tuition Is regarded by both the bench and
the bar as no longer an experiment, but
success in every way, and there is a
unanimous opinion on the subject.
"One thing which has received the
commentator Of attorneys has been the
promptness with which Judge Haire has
decided the cases before him. Judge
Haire returned home today. and will re-
turn in January to.resume work on the
bench here, In the meantime Judge
Adams. of the Cheboygan circuit. will
take his place. commencing on Monday

Halloween.

The definition OF Halloween, accord

evening OF October 3lst, as the eve or
vigil Of All Hallows or All Saints Day.
Halloween is an occasion of certain
popular superstition and observances in
many Christian countries; fairies,
witches, and imps Of all kinds being
supposed to be then especially active. In
Scotland, as related In Burns Hal
loweep.' the evening is frequently eel
ebrated by meeting Of young people
of both sexes, when varisus
mythical or playful ceremonies are re-
vealed, with view Of revealing future
future husbands or wives"
In this country Halloween is cele-
brated by mischievous people who de-
