William II. 1nms rntnllr Shot.

BALTIMORE, Feb 20-William II. Iams
was shot and probably fatally injured in a
quarrel with Charles Arndt at an early
hour yesterday morning. Iams is the man
who was hung up by the thumbs, had his
head shaved and was drummed out Of
camp while serving in a Pennsylvania
regiment of militia during the riots at
Homestead. Arndt is musician, So years
old, and the shooting was done at the
boarding house of the men during an al
tercation which grew out of Iams' alleged
habit of coming in late and making u
noise. 1t is said that Iams' chances of re-
covery are very slender.

Literary Notes.

McClure's Magazine for March will contain
interesting passages from speech made by
Abraham Lincoln in the Illinois legislature
in January, ls37-undoubtedly the earliest
speech of Lincoln's of which any record
remains, and one hitherto umpoticed by any
of his biogaphers. 1t is in his most attrac-
tive vein-that mingling of genial candor
with perfectly clinching argument for which
he afterwards became so noted. Along with
these passages will be presented some entirely
new anecdotes and "reminiscences of Lincoln's
service in the legislature and Of his humble
beginning as a lawyer at Springfield. And
there will be a full quota of Lincoln pictures'
among them four portraits of Lincoln, two
of which have never been published, and q
view of his first law Office.

TURKISH METHODS IN FLORIDA.
Brutal Treatment of Men Unjustly Con-
fined in a Convict Camp.


OCALA, Feb. 20,-After ten days of tor
ture at convict camp eleven young men
were vest arday released on writs of habeas
corpus issued by Circuit Judge Hooker.
The young men gave their names as George
Saunders and Charles Smith of Kentucky,
Jack Ingram of Ohio, Oscar Wagner OF
Missouri, Thomas Cummings and John
Davis of New York, Thomas Forbes of
Pennsylvania, Jack Ryan of Louisiana,
Don Clint of Illinois, John Sopria OF
Texas and Joseph Stone of Massachusetts,
Two weeks ago the party reached Ocala
They were well dressed, and said they were
walking to see the country better and to
hunt and fish at will. They had lot OF
novelties for sale. They did not ask aid,
but the day after their arrival they were
arrested, and Justice Clary sent them to
the convict farm as tramps.
At the ranch they were barbarously
treated They were chained to negroes
and given impossible tasks. Every night,
upon reporting the tasks unperformed,
they were stripped, tied across logs and
whipped with rawhides till the blood
gushed. Tuesday night, the coldest of the
winter, the guards drove them into a
/ pond, shouting; "You have been wanting
bath; now get it" Twice a day they
were given bread but no meat. At Judge
| Hooker's request they barred their backs,
which were found raw and quivering. In
discharging the young men Judge Hooker
said their arrest, sentence and treatment
was disgrace to civilization.

The Pnhlic Be

There appears to be wish ON the part of
stockholders of the Lehigh Valley railroad
that the public reports of earnings should be
more frequent, but the utterance ofpeople con-
nected with the company donot encourage the
belief that it will be gratifed, at any rate, for
the present. Holders of the stock, upon ap-
plication at headquarters, are advised of the
operations and as to the general public, its
interest is not regarded as vital. Pending
the resumption Of dividends ON the stock,
monthly statements Of earnings will not
be made public.

found that there are four or five more, but
without any apparent question the mum

FIRE COMPANY MATTERS.
Suggestions for the Benefit OF the ID,
fender Company.

fender Company.
A movement is on foot to induce the Bor-
ough Council to give the old hose carriage
the Columbia Company now has to the De-
fender Company at Turkey Run The
carriage broke down on Monday night and is
in need of general repairs, which will cost
almost as much as new carriage
1t is also stated that even if re-
paired the carriage will not be suitable for
the Columbia Company, which is now
obliged to carry so much hose to fires that Il
stronger and more modern vehicle is required
The present one has been in service about 25
years. The Defender Company, it is under
stood, would very likely be willing to defIay
the expense of repairing the carriage and
could make good use of it. The vehicle would
not be called into operation as often
at Turkey Run as it is in town and as the
town is built on a fiat it would not be subject
to the wear and tear caused by hills and
bitches. In view of this the repairs required
would not be as extensive as in the event of
the carriage being continued in town service.
The carriage is the property of the borough.
Another subject under agitation in con-
nection with the Defender Company is the
improvement of the water supply at Turkey
Run. This could be done by giving some
responsible resident of the place a key with
whicn the supply could be cut Off from the
Furnace colliery in case of fire, This would
give the Defender Company good force to
work with and danger could be avoided at
the colliery by keeping tanks filled for use
at any time the water should be cut off.

MCKINLEY THE CODGER.

When Mckinley declared more than
u year ago, at Tho n~aSvillo, Ga.
that
II the Republican platform declares
for free coinage, | will not be a can
didatp | would not run on a free sill
YER PLATFORM
he undoubtedly uttered his real senti-
ments. He knew that ne could not. if
he would, CT a free silver plat
form as a Republican candidate FIR
President Of the United States. He
knew the Republican party was in
favor of the English gold standard,
and al % in favor Of the commercial
supremacy of the mother country over
the United States. He knew that if
he hesitated Upon that q1e-tiun he
could not be nominated. If he had
MOI been a gold mo0Ometallist he
could not have Obtained Il dollar from
his goldbug friends 70 buy his TO N.
The Mckinley boom was bought with
gOldbug money, and any pr"tense If
Eastern COldbugs thai he is not
sound i false. 1t must he remcm-
bered, however, that the guldbug pol
icy has been a policy of DECEPTION, and
that they have settled upon Mckinley
AS a candidate because they think he
can deceive the free silver Republic
cans OF the West and the South. They
will be mistaken. The game of
dOuhle-dealjng pract!ced 10y Harri>ul
and Carlisle cannot be successful in
a contest Of which the equal coinage
Of the two metals is the paramount
issue. Silver men who have any atusr
and honesty will deepise Mckiulcy's
pretense that he is in favor Of silver
while he is supported 10y John Sher-
mar and Company as much a9 they
wonlt despise the false preteusa Of a
tramp who would tell d lie for Il
breakfast.
There can be no ether object GA the
part Of McKinley in refusing to state
whether he is for gold recommendation
or for the double standard than to de
ceive some people and get their votes
under a mi6appreGeusioD. 70 cal
such a man honest would be to Justify

IN THE EIGHTH ROUND
Fitzsimmons Knocked the Sailor Out, But Was Robbed of the
 Fight.

San Francisco Dec. 2.-Fitzsimmons entered the ring at 10:03, followed by his seconds. Bob's many San Francisco friends shrieked themselves hoarse when their favorite appeared, but their efforts were as the bark of a dog compared with the fierce yelp of a sea lion to the greet ing with Sharkey received five minutes later as he yaulted into the ring, scorn- ing to use the ladder. Fitzsimmons sat quietly in his corner and eyed the sailor while Sharkey surveyed his opponent critically for the first time.
 Fitzsimmons weighed 1741k pounds and Sharkey 176.
 The final round and the result was as follows:
 Round 8-Sharkey led and missed. Again he led and clinched. Bob put his right on the face and duplicated 1t a min ute later. In the breakaway Sharkey hugged his man. Bob led again and landeds only to be smothered once more This was repeated three times and the crowd hissed and hissed. Sharkey was doing nothing but wrestling. Bob got in two hard rights, but could not reach the spot. A hot exchange followed in which Bob landed right and left upper cutting his man and breaking away easy. As Sharkey rushed again Fitzsimmons got in his celebrated left hook twice and the sailors career was checked. Sharkey rolled over on his back and threw up his left leg. Fitzsimmons smiled and re- turned to his corner. The seconds were counted off and Sharkey was carried to his corner limp as dish rag. He had to be carried from the ring and appeared to be greatly distressed while Fitzsim- mons was spry as a lark and did not bear a scratch.
 The crowd yelled it's approval and shouted Justify for the Australian. When order was restored the referee announced Sharkey had been given the decision, he having been hit foul by Fitzsimmons. It was clearly an unfair decision as the knock out blow was fair punch on the jaw. The crowd became boisterous and cursed Earp loud and long. The unan- imous sentiment was that Fitzsimmons had been robbed in the most cold-5looded manner.
