w. LEE SHELTON.

Mr.. w. Lee Shelton, who died in Vic
toria, Texas, Nov. 10th, was well and
favorably known in San Antonio and
had many friends. His employers, the
A. B. Frank Co., of this city, have is
sued the following announcement of
the sad end:
San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 10Th, 1896
1t is with regret we annunoce the
death of Mr.. w. Lee Shelton, which
occurred at Victoria. Texas, on the
18th inst. after a short illness.
While to most of our friends Mr.
Shelton was we'll known for his many
sterling qualities of head and heart,
which endeared him to all with whom
he came in contact. in either social
or business way. it seems but fitting
that we record the hign estimation in
which we held him. and the keen loss
we have sustained.

WANTS DAMAGES
II Her Story Is True She Should Receive

II Her Story Is True She Should Receive
Them
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Mrs. Lydia Spalding
began suit in the superior court today
against the Pullman Palace Car Company
and the Denver and Rio Grande Railway
Company for 100000 damages for al
legged false arrest and imprisonment.
Mrs. Spalding. who, according to the bill,
is hotel keeper in San Francisco, claims
that last June she bought ticket over the
Denver & Rio Grande from San Francisco
to Denver, and a ticket from the lat ter city
to New York, whence she expected to sail
for Europe. She also purchased at San
Francisco sleeping car ticket to Denver.
The plaintiff alleges that when the train
stopped at Leadville she was taken from
the Pullman car and conveyed to the Lead
vile Jail and not even given time to put on
all of her clothing. She was put into a
room twenty feet square in which there
were ten male prisoners. The room of the
plaintiff was filthy with vermin and the
walls covered with obscene pictures. She
remained in the Jail forty-eight hours.
Mrs. Spalding says no charge was pre-
ferred against her and at no time was she
taken into court. She had several thousand
dollars in money and valuable jewelry on
her person, all of which was taken from
her and never recovered.
1t is charged that the arrest was brought
about by employees of the sleeping car
company with the object of robbery, and
they were successful.

Are Expected to Atone for a Short Crop of
Coffee
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Owing to a two
years. drouth on the Pacific side of Nicar-
aqua, the coffee crop has been much re-
duced, and instead of 100000 expected,
it is now believed that the crop will not
exceed 100000 quintals. This is the
statement of Mini ster Baker, who says the
crops of corn, beans and sugar have also
been cut short, and the duties on these
articles being suspended, a great impulse
was given to their importation, as we'll as
of wheat -four from our Pacific states, and
a greater number of Nicaraguans are eat
ing wheat bread this year than ever before.
The coffee planters are still prosperous,
even with short crops, so handsome are the
usual profits, and many prospectors are
coming in during this season of inclemency
in the states.

they were descendants from Gen. George
Washington, and had in their possession
several relics that belonged to the father
of his country. These include tortoise
shell snuff box given to Thomas Jefferson
by George Washington and subse-
quently returned to the Washington
family; q toddy spoon. Washington's
Free Mason apron, Bible, gold.headed
cane and cavalry Bible. 1t is also ascer.
tained they have a sword cane belonging to
Washington, for which congress agreed at
one time to make a handsome donation,
providing they were presented to the ma
ton. These relics, they say, were en-
trusted to Congressman Summers (pre-
sumably of Virginia), who served in the
Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth con-
crosses, and who, they say. presented them
to congress in his own name.
The heirs assert that they afterward re-
ceived a letter of thanks from congress,
but thai the letter was unfortunately lost
by their relative, Samuel T. Washington,
who died among strangers in Texas, and
that they have not received the donation.
They ask Secretary Smith to obtain for
them copy of the missing letter and see
that justice is done them. The secretary
has not yet taken action in the matter.

HEALY'S TRIAL
The Captains Enemies Appear to Have Con-

The Captains Enemies Appear to Have Con-
troll OF Affairs
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-The Healy
courtmartal took something of sensa-
tional turn today.
The unexpected came when Robert Will
son of the Bear was called to the stand for
the defense. He was expected to testify
strongly for Capt. Healy.
However, on taking the stand, he refused
absolutely to have anything 10 say:
must refuse to answer any questions" he
said, ''for / fear / may lose my position.
Mr.. Van Tant. who appeared here for
Capt. Healy few days ago, has been dis
missed from the service, and fear a sim
liar fate should l testify. Mr.. Van Tant,
too, was dishonorably discharged. His dis
missal was brought about by Capt. Healy's
enemies, who are now in charge of the
Bear"
No amount of urging could induce Will
son to change his position, and the court
permitted him to go without question.
Wilson says he has an old mother to sup
port and could not afford to lose his posi-
ton.
The other witnesses examined we're Will
liam Boundy, William Quintell, j. P. Pet
erson and Harry Smith OF the Bear. They
testified that Captain Healy was good,
careful officer, and most gentlemanly to
his men. Lieutenant Daniels, on the other
hand, they characterized as prig and a
dude, too fond of whisky to be of much use
to the service. During the period the Bear
was in Sausalito Lieutenant Daniels, Boun-
dy said. was drunk most of the time.
Often Daniels spoke of Healy as damned
fool and threatened to have him removed
from his command.

IN THE HOUSE

Senate Free Coinage Subs .itute Reported.
Non-concurr.ncs Recommended
Mr.. Dingley, chairman of the ways and
means committee, reported back the sem
ate free coinage substitute for the house
bond bill, with the recommendation that
the house non-concur and iasist on its
bill.
Mr.. Crisp, repri senting the tninority,
will ask the house TO concur. Tho report
will be called Up tomorrow and the
debate will run for Two days, with night
sessions.
The memorial OF the San Francisco
chamber of commerce in favor OF the
speedy completion of the Nicaragua was
presented to the house by Mr.. Loud.
The house spent the remainder of the
day debating amendments offered by Mr..
Hainer. Republican of Nebraskn, to strike
from the District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill the appropriations for private and
sectarian institutions of charity in the dis
trict and place The money proposed to be
appropriated for them at the disposal of
the board of childiens guardians. Much
feeling was engendered, and at times the
debate grew quite exciting. The appro-
priaiions for six religious charitable insti-
tutions, one Episcopal and five Catholic,
were stricken out. but the amendments to
strike the appropriations for other private
institutions, including tho Young Women's
Christian home. the Hope and Help mis-.
sion, ETC., were defeated. After the COM
mittee of the whole reported the hll to the
house. separate votes were demanded on
all amendments adopted, and they will be
first in number in tomorrow's business.
Mr.. Henderson of Iowa made an elo-
quent speech against the Hainer amend
merts which frequently evoked applause.
'If were Catholic" said he, "whch l
arm not; il were an A. p. A., which am
not; if the thunders of the vatican or the
inquisition of Spain or any other secret
cabaI tried to chain my lips, would speak
out because believe it is my duty. The
amendment offered by the gentleman
from Nebraska strikes with an iron hand
orphans and insults the God-anointed in
stitutions which cares for these little
children. Loud applause.
"Gentlemen of the American congress,

fidelity has stopped down to lift it up, God
give me . conscience that will keep me

cent. My warrant for sanctioning such an
act was planted in my breast, not by
priest, NOT by oath-bound associations, but
by my NJ ,ker and my mother" Loud ap.
plauso.
Mr.. Hainer made an indignant reply to
Mr.. Henderson. He declared that he was
not a Catholic, nor member of any secret
order. His sole purpose. he affirmed, was
TO turn tho money appropriated for public
charity over to board, in order that it
might be under public control.
MIR. Hainer then moved to strike out the
next appropriation of 50 100 for The main
tenance of children at St. Anpe's infant
asylum. This was n. I atholic institution,
and Mr.. Bartlett, Democrat of New York,
in opposing the amendment claimed that
it was the anti-Catholic sentiment, the
spirit OF the A. P. A., that was ruling the
deliberations of the house. He called at
tention to the fact that Mr.. Hniner made
no opposition to the appropriation for the
Washington hospital for ,foundlings, a pri-
vats institution.
The debate was prolonged and at times
quite exciting. The Hainer motion was
adopted; 93 to %.
While the vote was being taken Mr..
posing it, called out: Il rejoice in the
courage of the Republicans and regre, the
cowardice of the Democrats.
Mr.. Williams, Democrat, Mississippi,
then arraigued Mr.. Hainer and the major
ity of the house for the illogical manner in
which it had voted TO ietain Some appro-
priations and had rejected others. He was
in sympathy with the old Democratic
doctrine that public money should not be
appropriated for private purposes, and
when MIR. Hainer announced his platform
yesterday he thought another Daniel had
come TO judgment. Bct he had refrained
at the outset from making his motion re-
garding the appropriation for temporary
home for soldiers and sailors. There were
votes behind that. But when Catholics in
stitutions were reached the motions had
practical A. P. A. politics in it. He asked
why Mr.. Hainer had not moved 10 strike
out the appropriation for the Woman's
Christian association.
Mr.. Hainer replied that the question,
illustrated the caliber and the highwater
mark of the gentleman from Mississippi,
He denied Mr.. Williams right 10 question,
but said he recognized the temper of the
house was only in favor of striking out APP
propriations for sectarian institutions.
"Why did you not move 10 strike out the
appropriation for the Wonen's Christian
association" asked Mr.. Williams.
because it is not sectariap.n
ut is sectarIan," replied Mr., Williams.
mo Jew or Catholic can become member
of it,
Mr.. Mines, Republican of Michigan,
suddenly put an end to the struggle by
moving to adjourn. His motion was car
ried, 100 to so. and at o'clock the house
adjourned,
