liquors. divided by this sum. Shows

annum for every man. woman and child
In the realm. Contrary TO the general
impression. the English drink more
than the Scotch, and the Irish less than
either The ratio Of the English ex-
penditure for drink is $3.50, the Scotch
s14-T0 and the Irish s13.12 per head per
annum. These at least were the figures
of 1895. which seems to be considered
a banner year in drink annals--a cir
cumstance which inquirers Of the tenn
serance persuasion attribute to the &C
curence OF the parliamentary elections

total OF s7i2. oTO. 900. OF this amount

The most potent influence in dimin-
lshing the consumption of liquor in
England are scarcity of work and low
wages.

AN AID OF GEN. MACEO TELLS OF
THE FIGHTING IN THE RUBI

WEYLER LOST 1000 MEN killed.
And Twice as Many More Were Wound

Mine Beneath the Spaniards
With Frghtful Results.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-Thc Tribune's
special from Jacksonville, Fla, says:
Col. Jose REESE, aide-de-camp of Gen
Maceo, wounded and en- route to New
York for medical treatment and with
dispatches to the junta, passed through
here yesterday. He says the fighting in
the Rub hill portion of Pinar del Rio
was the most sanguinary of the war. lie
claims that 1000 of Weylers men were
killed IL two days and twice as many
wounded.
Weyler went to the field with $4,000
men in three columns. They found
Macco entrenched in Il crescent shaped
range of hills. When at the foot of the
hills the Spaniards were met with a
whitening fire that cut gaps in their
ranks. Maceo's men shot from behind
trees and rocks, and gradually gave way
before the Spaniards, who were en-
couraged by what they thought to be
victory. Suddenly a deafening explosion
rent the air and the scene that followed
was somewhat like the mine horror at
Petersburg during the civil war Horses
and men were blown high in the air and
fell to the earth dead. The dynamite
gun was touched off by John Lynn, for
merly of this city, who is Maceo's cleo
trician.
In the mine explosion Col. Refs says
Weyer lost 1000 men killed and about
1000 wounded.

KENTUCKY OFFICIAL RETURNS.
Canvassing Boards Count Gives McKin-
ley 2S1 Plurality-Contests Probable.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 27.-The state
canvassing board, consisting OF state al-
ditor, secretary of state and attorney
general, met at noon today to canvass
the returns of the recent election. In
view of the threats to contest the cleo
ton of the twelve republican electors,
great interest was felt in the meeting.
The canvassing board had already foot
ed returns and read them with explana-
tons of their action in cases where the
returns were technically irregular In
every case they had waived unimportant
technicaIities and counted returns as
made. The democrats received greater
course. The official footing gives Cash,
the leading republican elector, 21S,171
votes and Smith, the leading democratic
elector, 800 votes. McKinleys Off
cial plurality in the state is 2S1. Smith,
who headed the Bryan electoral ticket,
defeats Wedding and Howes, the two
lowest Mckinley electors, who are tied
The electoral college will decide which Of
these electors shall vote. The counting
gives Mckinley Kentucky by 2S1 plural
ity and twelve out of thirteen electors
The canvass of congressional returns
made no change. Under the state law
thirty days after the canvass is given in
which to file notice of contest. No such
notice has yet been given by either side
Suter, representing the silver demo-
Gratis before the state board, stated to
the Associated Press representative that
eleven contests of seats of republican
electors were prepared and would be filed
by Monday.

DEFEATED THE INDIANS

New York, Nov. 2G.-One Of the most
interesting games of football that has
ever been played in this vicinity was that
which took place today on Manhattan
field between teams representing Brown
University and the Carlisle Indian
School. and which resulted in IL score
of % to If in favor of Brown. There
were many exciting incidents, and al
though the result was disastrous to the
Indians, their play was most excellent,
considering the hard work the eleven
have been doing during the season. The
magnificent work of Fultz and Cannon.
whose long and sensational runs were
the feature of the game, won the victory
for Brown.

DANGEROUSLY STABBED.

Denison, Tex, Nov. 27.-(Special.)-
This morning, at $3.50 o'clock, Ed Stegal
living near Sherman, was brought to this
city in a dangerous condition. He had
been stabbed once in the head and face
once under the shoulder blade and once
over the heart, the two latter wounds
penetrating the cavity. DR.. Booth pro.
nounced his condition as very serious, and
the wounds likely to prove fatal. A war.
rant was sworn out for the arrest of Tom
Lambert, charged with the cutting, but
as yet he has not been apprehended. The
two boys, Stegal and Lambert are cousins
and were at dance at the Collins farm

SANDSTONE COMBINE.
AID the Quarries to Be Included in One
Big Corporation.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 2G.-BefOrc the
beginning of the new year big corpora
ton will be formed embracing practically
all the sandstone quarry interests of the
United States. Practically all the build
ing sandstone quarrcd in this country
EAST of the Rocky mountains come from
northern Ohio. The only other place
where it is found is in small spot near
Denver. The capitalists that will form
part of the corporation are the Malone
Stone company of Euclid and Amherst,
o.; Cleveland Stone company, quarries ut
Berea and Amherst Forest City Stone
company, quarries at Euclid and Column
bia Centre, o.; MISSY Stone company,
quarries at Eucklid and Amherst, o.;
Elyria Stone company, quarries at Graf
ton, o.; Bailey Stone company, quar-
ries at Berlin Heights, o.; Bryant Stone
company, quarries ut Elyria, o.; Ohio
Stone company, quarrcs at Indepcnd-
ence, o.
A year ago these companies came to-
gether and made price agreement. The
agreement has been kept, and now it is
thought best to solidify ii by means of
one great corporation. 1t is estimated
that a saving of 10 per cent will be made
in operating expenses alone. The CAPT
tai will be $5,OO0,O00, and the intention
is to buy all the small quarries not in
the combine.

HANGED MAN RESUSCITATED
A Negro Supposed to Be Dead is Said TO
Be Alive

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. ga special
from Tuskegee, Ala, says:
Last Friday a negro named Henry
Dawson was hanged here for murder by
the sheriff. He was large, 200-pounder
and when the trap was sprung fell SO
hard he almost broke the rope Fifteen
minutes after the fall he was cut down
ana the physicians pronounced him to
be dead from strangulation. His body
was turned over to his friends for burial,
who put it in large, black coffin, start
ed with it in a wagon for the Buchanan
place several miles distant, where they
pronounced the benediction.
A negro named Reuben Rice now
comes forward with the statement that
Dawson is not dead; that as soon as
the wagon was outside of town the lid
of the coffin was pried off and whisky
and other restoratives applied, with the
result that the supposed corpse was re-
suscitated, and after an hour or two was
recovered sufficiently to walk. The evil
dence as to the truth of the statement
is that the negroes having the remains
in charge have left the neighborhood,
and no evidence of new grave can be
found about the Buchanan place.
