The Late C. s. Bushnell.

In the article on the late C. S. Bush
nell yesterday giving the action of Ad-
miral Foote post, G. a. R., regarding
his death, line was left out of one
of the para graphs. The paragraph
should have read:
Comrade Bushnell was an extraordi-
nary man, larger in stature and physf-
cal development than the average man
and proportionately still larger in men,
tai endowments of genius, mechanically
and commercially, to make him great.

PEELED to pay the interest ON assess
ments, a suit for which was pending
in court.
Mr.. Ely decides that if the assessment
is properly laid both the assessment and
the interest can be collected.
The matter has really been a subject
of consideration by the supreme court.
The point at issue was revived recently
by the law firm of Reynolds & Dono-
van, who claimed that the city could
not collect the interest on such assess
ments.

The cases of Emanuel and Wilton

continued in the city court yesterday
by Judge Gable.
The boys had filed tomato cans with
water and placed one on each side Of

SOLD BEER IN THE BATH ROOM.
ROOM.
Edwin J. Meister, proprietor of the
Russian baths on York street, was fined
$40 and costs in the city court yester-
day, on the charge of selling liquor at
the baths without a license. He was
defended by ex-Judge Pickett.
The defense was that the liquor found
in the place was kept for private use,
and for emergencies which often arose
when a customer became weak. In
such cases Mr.. Meister admitted that
he administered brandy or whisky, but
made no charge for it.
Prosecuting Agent Dewell, however,
sprung a surprise upon the defense.
Patrolman E. J. Reilly went to the
baths last Saturday night, and when
he had finished bathing he called for
three bottles of beer. A woman, who is
a cousin of Mrs. Meister, waited upon
them and gave them three bottles of
Milwaukee beer, for which she charged
sixty cents. The patrolman did not
drink his bottle, but took it to Mr..
Dewell and it was introduced in evil
dence.
An appeal was taken.

Dunn has been at the almshouse. He
lis a religious maniac. At first his folks
objected to his commitment, but in

EConlan appeared as their counsel. His
Eline of inquiry was to show that Dunn

+ He charged that Dunn had been kept
flor days on bread and water. Judge

THE institution was not on trial; that

matter under consideration. Mr.. Con-
Han then withdrew his objection to the
commitment proceedings.
Dunn himself was in court, but he did
not have anything TO say.

NO PLACE FOR EMBEZzLERS.
CHESTER Rowe, Of Iowa, Gets Twelve
Years I'm a Mexican Prison.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 3.-In the case of
Chester Rowe, of Poweschck county. Ia,
accused Of embezzlng public moneys, Judge
Agueiar last evening imposed sentence of
twelve years and two months imprisonment
in Belim prison. This case has been a nota-
bic one in the history of Mexican jurispru-
dence as Rowe, after committing the of
tense, came here and took out papers of
Mexican citizenship. hoping thus to evade
punishment. But under the penal code an
offense committed abroad and continued on
Mexican soil is punishable. and Rowe's case
will serve as a warning for criminals hoping
TO ind safe asylum in Mexico.
Lawyer Alfore, for plaintiff, said Rowe
only made himself Mexican to evade pun
ishment that awaited him in Iowa for mis-
appropriation Of $4,000. He had deserted
his family, never having sent his wife but
$50 from here Rowes defenders claimed
that the client was not wholly answerable
for the supposed crime committed In the
United States. The case was appealed to
the Supreme Court, but 1t is generally be-
lieved among lawyers here that the decision
will be sustained. Mr.. Blackstone who came
from Iowa to prosecute the case, says Amer
lean people will warmly applaud the decision,
which stamps Mexico as a law-upholding
country.

A PRUSSIAN'S PERILOUS VENTURE
ABOVE NIAGARA FALLS.
In q Ten-FOOt Canoe He Sailed Out I'm
the Rapids to Within 300 Feet
Of Goat Island.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, May 3.-F. c.
Heine, a Prussian, fifty years old. made one
of the most perilous trips this afternoon that
has ever been accomplished on Niagara
river. In a canoe-shaDed boat ten feet in
length, he sailed from the milling district,
through the hydraulic canal out into the
rapids and over to within three hundred feet
of Goat island, then returned without any
mishap whatever. The river was full of ice,
and everybody thought Heine and his boat
would get wedged in it and be carried over
the falls Thirty feet from the dock he put
down his paddle and took up a ten-foot pole,
with steel tip on it, and pushed the boat
out along the reef to within stones throw
OF Goat island. Here the boat seemed to
be wedged on a rock, and as il swung
round and round with the current the two
thousand spectators expected to see 1t over
turned and Heine sent over the falls. After
resting about ten minutes he started on the
painful suspense hung over the crowds that
watched Heine. He took a course that
seemed free of ice ana where the water did
not run very swift, and poled his craft up
stream, his chief aim seeming to be to keep
out of reach OF the boiling water that was
on either side of him, rushing with great
speed towards the edge of the falls. IL
could be seen from the shore that he had
hard job. He seemed 10 be exerting all his
strength, but he gained his point, and, pass
down again and slowly turned into the quiet
waters of the canal.

Thirty Men.

BEAUMONT. Tex, May 3.-Judge Lynch
has cut short the career of Will Bendy. Ex-
element intense throughout the south
ern part of Jasper county. Yesterday evening
the last report came in that strong posse
had Bendy surrounded in the big thicket
about half-mile from Buta, and that he
was almost sure to be captured. This morn
ing early message was received that
Bendy had left the thicket and had sought
refuge in the home of his brother-in-law,
and there the determined party found him.
He was not quick enough in yielding when
shot rang out that brought him to his
senses. This was at o'clock this morning.
The shot wounded him and he began rum
ming. When about fifty yards away he gave
in and was led by the crowd to the Old
Orange and Jasper dirt road Here a suitable
tree was found and the rope quickly adjust
ed that swung him up. Through the still air
rang out the shots of thirty guns in the
hands of determined men, who had taken
the law into their own hands. His body was
left hanging for awhile to show others the
swift way In which such criminals will be
dealt with.
