THE CUBAN l4FF4IR.
The Belligerency Resolution the Subject of
 Debate in Senate.

The Belligerency Resolution the Subject of
 Debate in Senate.
 Washington, Feb. 25.-The Cuban bel IIgerency resolution was taken up in the senate and MT. Morgan began his speech in support of it. He closed at 3:30 and was followed by another mem ber of the committee on foreign rela- tions. Mr. Gray, dem., of Delaware. Mir. Gray favored the amendment offer ed by MT. White, dem., of California, as a substitute for the pending resolu- tion
 Mir. Lodge, rep, of Massachusetts, read the translation of a report from the newspaper, Fl Liberal of Madrid, giving the words of Captain General Weyler as to his purpose to 'extermin- ate the filibusterers, and said that re- port implied the atrocities which the captain-gener meant to employ.
 Mir. Stewart, pop, of Nevada, declar- ed that 'the existence of a slaughter house for half a century at our doors by a government incapable of govern ing Cuba, is something we ought not to tolerate"
 MT. Call submitted table showing that the Spanish forces in Cuba had lost thousands in this war. He was tired, he said, of hearing resolutions of sympathy, and he would offer resolu- tion for the recognition of Cuban inde- pendence. The subject went over.

THE MONEY NOT YET PAID
BOARD OF SELECIlIEN LISTEN TO
 HERBERr F. BENTON.

4 Motion to Indefinitely Postpone the Mat
 ter--Ihe Upshot of the Controversy May
 be the Calling of Town Meeting.
 At the meeting of the board of select men last evening Town Counsel Good hart was empowered to act for the town in the matter between them and N. ". Potwin, whose land will be occupied by the Grand avenue extension.
 The West river marshes was again before the board and Herbert F. Ben ton appeared in behalf of those who wish the work on the marshes begun ed for this purpose be paid over as soon as possible to the park commits sion.
 MT. Baldwin did not see how in the state of the towns finances. this could be done. It was held by MT. Benton that the vote was imperative and that the board had no discretion in the mat ter.
 The poverty of the town was again pleaded by the custodian of it's money, as well.as the fact that the park com missioners had not viewed the marshes and that he did not feel that a proper demand had been made upon him.
 MT. Bretzfelder favored paying the money, saying that he thought the town agent had no option in the matter, and moved to take from the table his mo- tion of last week.
 Town Agent Baldwin amended by in- serting the words indefinitely post pone the matter" The amendment was carried by a party vote, but not before MT. Benton had told the selectmen that there was an opinion abroad that the selectmen stood in the way of the mak- ing use of the money voted.
 Dr. George H. Jackson presented an application to be appointed town phy- sfcian. The communication was placed on file.
 Patrolman Ahearn was voted $7i damages done to his house in the annex by blasting rock
 It was said by a prominent citizen last evening that the refusal of the town agent to pay over the. money for the West river branches would probably lead to the calling of town meeting to take the matter in hand The citi- zens in the vicinity of the marshes are now indignant at the treatment they | are receiving.

Have Their Eye the Pacific Roads in
 Case of Foreclosure.
 Washington, Feb. 25.-There are indi- cations of the development of a new and powerful opening to the Pacific railway funding bill in congress
 It is intimated that the Vanderbilts would be willing to pay more for the roads than any other possible bid ders, and that the government could realize more from this disposition of the properties than could be obtained in any other way. Ex- x-Representative Coombs of New York, now one of the government directors, expressed the opinion in his statement to the com mittee that the government would be able to realize at least $120, COG, ,000 by the sale of the roads,
 The advantages that would accrue to the Vanderbilt interests from the con trol of the Pacific railway system are apparent They are now in control of the Chicago and Northwestern from Chicago to Omaha, and by securing the Union and Central Pacific roads with their feeders they would have a through line from ocean to ocean be- tween New York and San Francisco.

HELD FOR rIENDIsH ACTS.
The Horrible Case Unearthed in southing- ton-John Hatton is in Jaii-Good Work or the state Board of Charlties.

The Horrih,e Case Unearthed in Southing-
 ton-John Hatton is in Jnii-Good Work
 or the State Board of Charltie'.
 Southington, Feb. 25-The arrest of John Hatton of Southington for erim- inal assaults upon young girl, who was taken from the New Haven County Home, was quickly followed to-day by his being bound over to the superior court under bonds of $3,000.
 The girl, Ida B. Oakes, is only twelve years old. and has lived in Hatton's family since she was eight years old. And for four years this young girl has been subjected to the most degrading and humiliating acts on the part of Hatton. Incredible as it may seem, this conduct was known to his wife, but she is a poor, feeble woman, subject only to his dictation.
 Hatton was to-day taken before Jus tice Andrews. The arrest was made on Monday, the result of an investiga- ton by the agents of the State Board of Charities, pr. Tracy and Miss Re becca Bacon of the board, visiting Southington for that purpose Hatton pleaded guilty to the indictment and was bound over to the next term of the superior court, as stated above. The girl was in court with Dr. Tracy, Miss Bacon and Superintendent Will lard Matthews of the New Haven Coun- ty Home. The discovery of this horri- ble case shows the excellent results of the law enacted by the last legislature in enlarging the powers of the State Board of Charities.

THE TOTE WAs 4 TIE.
MT. Aldrich's Resoluti .n is Stiil Before the
 Finance Committee.

| ihancO SGtnnllbee.
 Washington Feb. 25,--The senate com mittee on finance met this morning for the consideration of matters. The only measure of any significance that was considered was the resolution Of Sen ator Bacon, dem., Georgia, prohibiting the further issue of bonds unless such bonds were previously authorized by act of congress.
 MT Harris of Tennessee insisted that vote be taken for he desired the resolution reported. This precipitat- ed discussion in which all the mem bers engaged. There were absent Messrs Jones oe Arkansas and Voor- hees Of the democrats and Wolcott of the republicans. The committee divid- ed on party lines, Mir. Jones of Neva, da, joining with the democrats. The republicans argued that the passage of Q measure like this would mean the repeal of the resumption act under which alone the government has au- thority to issue bonds. To repeal this act MT Sherman contended would be to commit financial suicide. It would leave the treasury stranded without a means of relief ill the event of trouble. Republicans and sound money demo- crats, he assured the silver men, would never consent to such an act being pass ed by congress.
 The silver men held while the passage of such resolution would operate as a repeal of the existing authority under which bonds were issued it would be the best thing for the country as it would then force the free coinage of silver as the only means through which ex- isting financial ills could be cured
 The committee by tie vote failed to pass MT. Aldrich's motion to report the resolution adversely, the vote being as follows: To report adversely: Messrs Morrill,, sherman, Allison, Aldrich and Platt, all republicans; against report ing adversely. Messrs. Harris Vest White, Walthall, democrats, and Jones of Nevada, populist.
 The resolution still remains before the committee.

THEY GRASPEDALIVE WIRE
JESSE TRACT AND HIS SON MET
 BITH INSTANT DEATH.

The Horrible Affair Took Place in the Back
 Yard of Their Home-Whsn Mrs. Tracy Saw Her Husband and Son Dead She Ran to Grab the Wire But Her Life Was Saved by Her Other Son.
 | Providence, Feb. 25.-Jesse Tracy, | aged fifty-five, and his son, Jesse, jr., | twenty-four years old. were killed to- day by grasping live wire that they found in a garden near their home in Thornton. a village about two miles out of the city. The wire was an old | telephone wire that had broken down l and hung dangling from the pole for | several days in the way of the passers- by, one of whom picked up the end and threw it over the bars of Tracy's | barn yard. The wire crossed an elec- tric light wire and rubbing through the insulation became charged with a DOW erful current.
 l Tracy shortly after 2 o'clock went
 out into his yard and began cleaning
 up about the place. The wire was in sight and he grasped it. His hands | closed over the wire, the body became
 rigid, then toppled over and fell. This
 tragedy had been watched by two sons,
 Jesse, jr., and John, and Mrs. Tracy.
 It all occurred so suddenly that their
 presence of mind forsook them for the time.
 1 Young Jesse, who was about twenty l four years old, was the first to take
 action. He saw his father fall to the
 ground and he rushed forward to lend l j,csc cicfo To oI~I. l. -1S -d

 unfortunate boy say. His hands clutch

 earth beside the rigid form of his par ent
 When friends arrived on the spot l there was not spark of life in either
 father or son, both having been electro-
 cuted. The dual fatality came near not
 ending there. Mrs. Tracy had been an observer of what had been going on.
 She and her son John, lad of eighteen
 years, were standing near the house within a few feet of the telegraph pole. She rushed forward with the evident
 intention of wrestling with the -harg- ed wire and would undoubtedly have

 Medical Examiner Keefe, after view | ing the remains, notified Coroner Phil- l lips to hold an inquest for the purpose
 of ascertaining which corporation, if
 any, was responsible for the two deaths.
