Mr. Barr would have no difficulty IN
discharging duties far more exacting than
those of the office OF Alderman. Although
very loath to assert himself when there is
no necessity he can do SO with credit to
himself when 1t is required. He makes
a speech that is clear and concise. Though

Madison. January


John M. Harnan, who lived with his
mother and sister at 222 West Wash
ington avenue, left at noon yesterday
for Victor, Col, where his brother.
Thomas Harnan, is entombed in the
Anna Lee mine, which caved in Sat
urday burying nine men. The Madison
relatives of the unfortunate man re-
ceiVed the first intelligence Of the &C
Cldent through the columns of the
Democrat Sunday morning. Soon at
terWard they received a telegram from
cousins there and have since been in
almost hourly communication with
their relatives on the scene of the dis
estcr. The names of the miners work
ing the Lee shaft are superintendent
Sheldon, Foreman Lewis, Jack Maloy,
IKE McGuirk, Tom Maloy, Cosgrove,
Pady Nee, Lund, Thomas Harnan.
Sheldon Lund and Harnan were going
down in the cage when the cavern oc-
CURED. They were in the cage be-
tween the third and fourth levels when
the shaft pinched. 1t is possible they
were thrown into one of the drifts and
are safe, but no tidings can be had
from them. Work began Immediately
and great efforts were made to reach
ne men. 1t is doubtful, however, if
this can be done in time to save them
on account of the general character of
the disaster. 1t is believed it will take
q week or ten days 60 reach the en-
tCmbed miners. The cause of the dis
aster cannot be definitely stated, but it
is said that the timbers were insult
ficient to sustain the great weight to
which they had been subjected.
Thomas Harnan left Madison for the
west about four years ago. Since then,
however, he has visited Madison, the
last dime being about two years ago.
He is about 80 years old. He was one

was realized. His comrades of that

old lady of advanced years, he has

Philadelphia, Jan. THE annual
banquet Of the Young Mems Democratic
association tomorrow evening, to cele-
brate Jackson's day, will be the most
important event in the associations
history since it began these dinners
sixteen years ago. The war message
of President Cleveland will fit in very
closely with the underlying principle
of Jackson's governmental policy,
which was an uncOmpromising hatred
of Great Britain. The jingOes are eX-
Tected to make the eagle scream and
the British lion has housed his tanta-
lizing tail. The most distinguished
guest will be Vice President Stevenson.
Among others expected to be present
are Attorney General Harmon, Secre-
tary of the Interior Hoke Smith and
Senators Morgan, Faulkner and Villas.
The sudden return to life of the dem
ocratic party, brought about by the
war message, will De studiously taken
advantage of by lne party leaders, and
every effort will he put forth to make
all the political capital possible out of
the anniversary. Democratic leader

the message. Last week the red auc-
ton flag waved over our camp. Now,

lover of simplicity, but he lacked the
culture, refinement and delicate graces
that distinguished his great prototype.
Jefferson was cOurtly and polished
Jackson was rough and ready. Jeffer-
son WAS a diplOmatist; Jackson was a
fighter. In everything except lofty pur-
poses they were dissimilar HIS hatred
of the British was inspired early in
life. When but boy, during the rev.
dictionary war, he was taken prisoner
by the British. An officer commanded
young Jackson to clean his boots.
which Andrew not only refused TO do,
but, having a choice vocabulary of
good, strong, expressive words, he in
formed the officer that he could go to
that place where thermometers are not
lOLg enough to register the tempera-
ture. For this he received a saber cut
on the head and another on the arm.
He was Chesterfieldian in his manner
toward women. He was ever ready to
defend the character of women with
words or pistols, and defamatory re-
mark about his wife cost a noted poll
tician his life. His memory will be an
inspiration to democracy so long as
II ere is a democrat 1t is a perennial
joke in politics that in some sections
south of Mason and Dixon's line they
are voting for him vet.

The tide of opinion here regarding
England seems to be distinctly turn

Chronicles utterances and Englands

Many utterances of the American
press prove my assertions that the

had conversation on the subject
with Senator Gray, who is regarded as
the presidents special mouth-piece in
the senate. Mr.. Gray said: 1 don't
think the president made or intended
to make threats towards the British
government in his message, but he did
express in the strongest way the pos
sible feeling, and what | believe to be
the feeling of all our people in this
country regarding the supposed Brit
ish refusal of arbitration in the Vene-
Zuelan matter. There is sincere re-
greet among all rlgnt-mlnded people
here that a more conciliatory DISPOSE
ton could not be accepted by Sails
bury in regard to the general principle
of arbitration
The present moment is a golden
one to secure American good will We
cannot afford to lose it. If Salisbury
takes no step and sees no way, then
let him reflect that his attitude is
identical with that fatal one which
lost Great Britain her colonies more
than century ago"

JURISDICTION RAISED.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. THE cele-
brated case of the state against Fred
erick T. Day, president of the de-
funct PIankinton bank, was called in
the municipal court Monday, Judge
Goodland, OF Appleton, presiding. The
point Of jurisdiction as to whether
Judge Wallber could call in an outside
judge was contested at the outset. The
counsel for Mr.. Day held that Judge
Wallber lost jurisdiction at the time of
the filing of the affiuavits of prejudice
and hence his calling in Of Judge Good
land was illegal. They think the only
court having jurisdiction is the circuit
court, presided over by Judge Johnson.
The arguments on this point will with
out doubt, be very long and heated.
The change to the circuit court will
imply further delay.

they declared war, and the old man
has used every device to cripple them
financially. He found they were short
of money, SO he visited all local
moneyed men who might be induced to
give them aid in paying the second in
stallment, and received assurances that
no coin would be furnished the boys.
Then he lay back awaiting his re-
venge. Jan. he sent around for the
big payment. What was his astonish-
ment to be met with a smiling accept
ance. Instead of asking for delay, or
part payment, the whole sum was paid.
When the collector brought back the
check Claus nearly fell off his chair.
Since then he has been cunning for
the man who advanced this coin. If
he discovers him, he threatens to make
things lively. Meanwhile the city is
laughing over the millionaire's wrath.
