'They tell good story on David Linton

and father-in-law of Congressman Taft"
said r. l.. Bronson Of Cincinnati at the ST.
James. Il dent think the story was ever
printed, but it was told to me by a man
who claimed to have witnessed the occur
renee. David Linton became a millionaire
after having been very poor, and the hab-
Its of labor he formed as a young man
stuck to him through life. He works hard
er than any of his employees. He has a
total disregard for his personal appear
ance, and is likely TO appear ragged and
destitute when he has rough labor. One
not day he haa been experimenting a
building he was having erected, and had
gone to the post Office Standing on the

upon the men capturGji on board the Com
petitor on a charge of piracy and rebellion.
The men sentenced are. Alfredo Laborde,
said to be the leader of the party, and
claiming American citizcnship; DIR. Elias
Bedia, also claiming American citizen
ship; William Gildea, said to be British
subject; John Milton, a native of Kansas;
Teodora Mata. This places the fate of the
men in the hands of the authorities at
Madrid, and insures that they will not be
executed without an order from the Span
ish government.
1t has become known that the British
consul has also intervenod in the name of
his government on behalf of the Competi-
tors captives sentenced to death He in
vokes clemency for the prisoners This
action Of the British government in the
case has caused n sensation here 1t would
be difficult to say from any admissions
made in official quarters what effect this
new development will have in the case.
There is a marked absence of irritability
manifested in the comments on the sub
ject, and the action Of the British official
seems to have been taken in very good
part. 1t Is pointed out that the interven-
ton of the British consul is couched in
very different form from that of the I'm
tied States consul general and is, in fact,
expressed in very friendly terms, invok-
ing the clemency of the Cuban authorities
The question of the execution of the
captives of the Competitor is recognized
to be one of the most important which has
occurred since the insurrection broke out.
Now that the question has been referred
to the government at Madrid the situation
here has quieted down, though there is no
cessation of interest and discussion of the
question. The attitude of the public is
rather one of waiting on the resolution of
the Madrid government The waiting is
attended by much impatience and no lit
tie anxiety.
At a meeting of Conservative senators
mier, Senior Canovas Del Castillo, de
clared that it would be impossible to in
troduce reforms for Cuba before the situa-
ton became normal again. He admitted
that the Spanish arms alone would fail to
terminate the war, but he said he believed
that the discouragement of the insurgents
and the prevalence of racial hatred among
them would contribute largely to the ces-
sation of hostilities.
James Creelman, correspondent OF the
New York World, and Frederick W. Law
renee, correspondent of the New York
journal, who were ordered by the author
tiles to leave the island for having sent
dispatches to their papers offensive to the
government, sailed for New York yester-
day.

PROBABLY A FATAL FALL |.
Anthony Beane SuStainS a Fracture of
the Skull.
HIS LIFE IS DESPAIRED OF
Fell Down Stairway in the Beddall Build
ing Late Saturday Night-Came to
Town to Visit His Mother--At
tle Miners Hospital.

Anthony Beane, formerly of this town and
now resident of Holyolle, Mass, lies in the
Miners hospital at Fountain Springs suffering
from injuries sustained by fall that will in
all probability result in his death.
Beane is about 33 years of age and has a
wife at Holy oke, but no children. His
mother, Mrs. Anthony Scanlan, resides on
North White street, and it was to visit her
that he came to town last Thursday. He
spent several hours Saturday night in
going from place to place seeking and
greeting old friends and drank con-
siderably. At about eleven o'clock he
went to the Beddall building at the corner
of Main and Centre streets, and attempted to
ascend the stairway in the building leading
from the latter street, but succeeded only in
going up four steps when he staggered back
wards and fell heavily at the foot of the
stairway. Several pedestrians heard the
noise of the fall and hurried to the place,
followed by Chief of Police Tosh Beane
never stirred after he fell. He was rendered
unconscious and blood streamed from his
eyes, nose, mouth and left ear. DIR. Hamil-
ton said at least pint of blood flowed from
the ear.
As soon as the victim could be identified
and arrangements made for the removal he
was removed to the home of his mother.
There Drs, G. NJ Hamilton and j. Pierce
Roberts were called in attendance. After an
examination they said Beane had sustained a
fracture at the base of the skull and his con-
dition was very critical. Indeed they held
out no hope for recovery. Beane remained
unconscious all Of yesterday, with the cX-
ception of few moments at about 3 o'clock
in the morning, when he muttered a few
words that were not Ineligible. Yesterday
afternoon the victim was removed to the
hospital.
1t was reported in town to-day that Beane
had died. but a message from the hospital to
the HERALD this afternoon stated that the
report was incorrect and that the condition
of the man was the same as it was when he
arrived at the hospital.
The National Club is desirous in having
itself properly represented in the matter
Beane left this town about seven years ago
and at that time was the steward of the
organization, but he has not been a
member for several . lrs. The club
room is in the ddall building
and it is quite probable tn, Beane vas on his
way to it when he met with the accidAt, but
none of the members We're with hiih, nor
had he been in the club room. The place
was closed at the time. The club also states
that none of the young men who summoned
Rev. H. F. O'Reilly, pastor Of the Annuncia-
ton church, to attend the victim were mem
bers of the club. These statements are made
in view of the fact that yesterday Rev
OReilly spoke of the case from the pulpit
and the club does not want to be coupled with
the case in any way.

Death Sentences Referred to Madrid for

SUMMARY EXECUTION NOT FEARED
While General weyler Thirsts for the Blood
of the Competitors Men, it is Not Likely
That the Spanish Government will
Consent to Their Execution.

MADRID, May 11.-There are evidences
oil growing popular excitement in Spain
over the attitude of the United States gov
ernment towards the question of the fill
busters captured on board the Competitor.
The riots and outbreaks of popular hatred
towards the United States at the time of
the passage through congress of the reso-
lutions favoring the recognition of the
Cubans as belligerents have not been for
gotten, and the sentiments which caused
them are but smoldering.
The Spanish government has on all pos
sible occasions expressed it's appreciation
of and satisfaction with the efforts made
by the United States government to pre-
vent as far as lay in it's power the giving
of unlawful aid to the Cuban insurgents
by citizens of the United States. But the
widespread sympathy felt for the insur-
gents in the United States is well recog-
nized by the Spanish people, and the news
of expeditions from the United States
landed from time to time in Cuba creates
intense irritation.
The news of the capture of the men on
the Competitor was received with great

Spain Between Two Fires.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Daily News says
in an editorial, regarding the cases of the
Competitor oaptives at Havana; "The Sc
rious news from Cuba places the Spanish
government between two fires. 1t is diff
flcult to see how either side can recede. If
the Spanish government sacrifices General
Weyler it will probably have to be pre-
pared to sacrifice it's own life, Public opin-
ion in Madrid is hardly well informed
enough to profit by the Virginius case, in
1878. The Spaniards ought to distrust
their own natural ferocity in cases Of this
sort. The butchery of the Virginius,
which many of them applauded at the
time as a fine and spirited act, was eyed
with horror and execration throughout
the world
