No more absolute falsehood ever
passed the lips of man than this
utte-ance of Mr.. Bryan at Lynn,
Mass, on Monday: ''Falling prices
mean hard times. Hard times never
have been advocated in a platform
by any party, although the Republi-
can platform this year, without di
rectly saying so, promises to continue
the hard times and make them
harder" Mr.. Bryan knows that the
United States was the most prosper
ods nation on the globe from 1888
to 1892, and during that time it ex-
perienced greater prosperity than at
any time IN its history. If Mr..
Bryan were talking TO lot of peo-

MADE MANIACS IN JAIL.
Grave Charges Against officials of Eastern
Penitentiary of Pennsylvania.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "A sensational
investigation of the condition of the pris-
oners in the Eastern penitentiary, this
city, will probably result from Il complaint
made in the quarter sessions court and the
consequent announcements by Judge Cor
don.
Application was made for an investiga-
tion into the mental condition of pris-
oner who is alleged to have become insane
since his commitment. Judge Gordon an
nounced that he had visited the prison
and become convinced of the mans insan-
ity, but his individual efforts to have him
transferred to an asylum proving fruit
less, the judge appointed II committee of
expert physicians to investigate Testi-
mony of these experts was heard in court.
1t was to the effect that not only the pris-
oner in question is insane, but u great
many other prisoners are in a similar con
dition, one of them, who is under life SEN
tence for murder, being violent There i
no insane department in the prison, and
the unfortunates are confined in ordinary
cells Many of these cells, it vas sworn,
were in a filthy State, although in some in
stances this was attributable to the habits
of the prisoners.
AT the conclusion of the testimony
Judge Gordon promptly ordered the re-
moval of the patient in question to the
Norristown Insane asylum and declared
his intention to submit the matter to the
state legislature. Among other things he
said:
1T appears by the uncontradcted evil
dence by the evidence of the authorities
themselves, that there are a large number
of insane prisoners in the Eastern peniten-
tiary. | am also confronted by the fact
that in no instance has any effort been
made, either by the physician or by his
warden, to have such prisoners removed
and the added fact, in this particular case
that the effort to remove this prisoner was
If not obstructed at least resisted.
1.-The light | have already convinces Inc
that the administration of that prison has
a tendency to promote insanity and that
for some reason those who administer it
are not disposed to give those facts that
publicity and force they ought to have.
From the assistance have already receiv-
ed | shall invoke from the gentlemen who
have been at my side in this matter fur
ther assistance, and | intend to call such
attention to the general subject, both by
the legislature and by other courts, that
something may be done to put Pennsyl-
vania in the line of civilization and hu-
manity in the treatment of its criminal
insane -

MRS. DRAYTON TO WE'D.
The Astor Heiress, 1t Is Said, VIII Take
Another Husband.

NEW YORK, Dec 2.-It is reported up-
on what seems the best of authority that
Mrs. Augusta Drayton, the eldest daugh-
ter of Mrs William Astor, is about to be
married again.
The happy man is Mr.. George Haig, u
Scotchman of position, now a member of
the firm of Haig & Haig, whisky mer-
chants with headquarters in London.
Mr., Haig is 40 years of age, favorite
and well known man about town, and has
been very devoted to Mrs. Drayton during
her residence in London, His sister mar
ried Mr.. Jamison. the head of the great
distilling firm of that name, and is very
smart woman in London o,iety.
During the latter part of this season Mr.
George Haig arrived ut Newport and spent
few days there without becoming gen
orally known in society. 1t now appears
that his mission was to see Mrs. Astor
and ask her permission to marry her
daughter rs well as to make some arrange
ments about settlement upon his intend
ed bride, as he is not man of much
wealth
When his visit to Newport was con
cluded, he confded to an English friend
here that it's purpose had been accomplish
ed in an entirely satisfactory manner, and
he returned home Immediately.
Only a very few of Mrs Drayton's old
friends are aware of her engagement to
Mr. l1aig, which has not yet been formal
ly announced either in London or New
York. The marriage will be IA happy end
ing to as pretty a social disturbance as ev-
er agitated New York society, yet nobody
here has received word as to the date OF
the wedding
without going into elaborate detail, it
will he remembered that Mr.. Coleman
Drayton sued his wife for divorce on stat
utory grounds, naming Hallett A. Bor-
rowe as correspondent. The case dragged
its slow and weary length through the
New Jersey courts until society was much
surprised to learn that Mr.. Draytun had
retired from the aggressive position he had
ut first assumed and had permitted his
wife to obtain II divorce from him on the
ground of desertion and nonsupport
Neither of the parties to either suit ever
put in an appearance in court, and the
greatest influence was brought to bear to
keep even the formal motions of the law
yers as quiet as possible.
A few weeks ago Mr. Borrowe was mar
ried to Miss Corhin Il daughter of the late
Austin Corbin Mr. Coleman Drayton has
established a quiet home for himself and
children at Tuxedo, and when Mrs. Dray-
ton marries Mr., Haig the last memory of
painful event will have happily passed
away.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-There is a new

the clover Buffalo boxer, received the de-
cision over George Dixon at the end of the
go round contest for the feathcrwcight
championship of the world last night be
fore the Broadway Athletic club 1t was
one of the hottest contests ever witnessed
in this country. Both men were in first
class condition, and the pace was fast
from the first round to the last. Dixon
was favorite in the betting, but Erne's fol
lowers were not lacking in the support of
their favorite, and thousands of dollars
changed hands on the result.
The bout was purely "A scientific one
and Referee sam Austins decision was
based upon the fact that Erne had done
the better work from start to finish The
arena of the club was filled with lovers of
boxing, and the men were frequently
cheered during their battle for supremacy

he would starvc the insurgents out seems
likely to be carried out, as from all reports
from Maricl, near where the captain gen
eral is now, the work of destruction is be-
ing carried out fully. The Spanish army
sweeps everything before it, killing beeyes
that it cannot use, burning canefields and
small stores with their provisions, and
leaving u wide waste of ruin and desola-
tion in its wake. People vainly implore
Weyler to leave them provisions to keen
them alive, but his brutal officers refuse
with oaths and insulting words, if not
worse. Over 800 refugees have come into
Mariel since Weyler went out this last
time, all giving the same story of abuse,
plundCr and murder of Cubans
Spanish captain named Colzeazo is ac-
cused of numbering over 100 persons in
the valleys, 100 miles south of Mariel,
during the latter part of November. a
one instance he is accused of confining u
number of women and girls in church,
and after they had ,, en- repeatedly abused
and maltreated by his men, burned the
building with them in it. Many other out
RACES all as horrible, are charged to him

the rebellion.
The insurrection is supported by
wealth, directed by intelligence and con-
ductsd with genius and courage. think
the re- els Outright and outmaneuver the
Spaniards, and they will wear them out
here Is no chance of the rebels being
starved out of the Pinar del Rio district,
for the woods are full of cattle, hogs and
sweet potatoes. They will always have
plenty to eat. They are armed with rem
ingtons, spencers, mausers, every variety
OF carbine and revolver, and all of them
first rate, but their calibers vary, which is
tridges ought to fit all guns of the same
kind
They have, since l left, got some dyna-
mite guns, cannon worked by compressed
air and some guns for smokeless powder.
They have a few American and foreign
artiilerists who will rapidly instruct other
foreigners in the service, and as their artil-
tory is reenforced skilled men will be
ready to use the new cannon. Iwould say,
without any definite information, that
they need company officers, captains, liou-
tenants and orderly sergeants more than
anything else.
The Cubans are making the gamest
fight that ever was made not excepting
that made by the Confederates in the civil
war They are wearing out the Spaniards,
and after General Weyler comes back to
Havana again the Spanards will not
throw up the sponge, but will sit in the
towns and make faces at the rebels, who
will rule the country -
