Charged with enticing n 1T-year-old
girl from her home in Philadelphia to

A. Bishop, so years old, has fallen into
the clutches of the associated charities
answer the serious charge i'm court.
Bishop has been mixed up in more
than one foul case coming from the
evil resorts on lower Lackawanna ave-
nue. and is q well-known police court

About week ago he applied at the
employment agency of Mrs. Hunter on
South Tenth street, Philadelphia, for
a young girl to act as his housekeeper.
Among Mrs. Hunters applicants for
positions was Annie Einig, IL years
old. one of a poor Germans eight
children. Bishop saw the girl, said
she would suit him and went with
her to her home to interview her pa
rents. To them he described himself
as a well-to-do hotel man living a
short distance outside of Philadelphia.
He readily secured the parents consent
for the girl to accompany him and made
no objections to their proposal that n
younger SISTER, 1itien, ~ years Ol age,
also make her home with him.
Bishop brought the two girls to Scran
ton. He had told them en- route that
he owned the largest brick building in
the city and was rich, but the "home"
he brought them to was an ordinarily
furnished suite of rooms on Cedar ave-
nue. near Hickory street. There on

INJUNCTION IS DISSOLVED.
WintOn School Board Middle Con.
tinues u Muddic, However.


The preliminary injunction hereto
fore granted to James Bell against the
school board of Winton borough was
dissolved yesterday by Judge Archibald.
Mr.. Bell sought to restrain the school
board from erecting a new school house
i'm the district for the reason that they
were not properly elected nor organized
as a board, and that the proposed new
structure was not necessary. The ac-
ton Is an outgrowth of two school
boards in Winton borough. both claim
ing they have been duly elected and
organized.
After the preliminary Injunction was
granted in the above case writ of quo
warante was directed against the other
board. of which William Judge is pres
ident. John l.. Barrett, secretary. and
John f. Donnelly, treasurer, to show
by what authority they exercised the
duties of the offices they hold, and it is
now pending in court. The writ was
granted on a petition filed by the MEM
bers of the board, of which James p.
McAndrews is president.
In his opinion, Judge Archibald does
not touch the matter of the legal stand
ing Of the boards.

GALLEY THREE G
OUT WITHOUT LEAVE.

Foreman Beavers was sworn to sub
stantiate the charges. He said they
were all true and more too. He met
Sproats over on the South Side one
week ago Saturday night. He was out
without permission. Councilman Noon
here volunteered the information that
Sproats went with him to see Chief
Hickey about the charges.
John Reese and j. S. Evans, two
citizens who happened to drop in at the
engine house. the morning the harness
was on tine floor, were sworn and testi-
fed to that fact. In answer to ques-
tions by Mr.. Noone both these witnesses
said they knew nothing further than
this against Sproats.
John r. Kline, the company's other
permanent man, and secretary of the
organization, with a most religious re-
gard for day and date. next told all he
knew of the trouble. There were inter-
walls of ten days, he said, when the
steamer horses would never be exer-
cised. The damaging of the doors was
due to Sproats' carelessness and incom-
potency. He was I'm the habit of whip
ping the team and one day backed them
into the stall doors. Sproats discon-
nected the trip in order that he would
not have to get up out of bed at night
except when a West Side alarm was
sounded. Otherwise his team would
be released each time the Indicator
rang and he would have to come down
stairs and put them back. He, Kline,
never disconnected the trip on the hose
carriage stall, but always came down
and put back his horse.
Here Mr.. Burns asked Foreman Beav-
ers if he had ever reported these mat
ters to the chief before the present
trouble broke out. He answered that
he had not that it would have done no
good.
Mr.. Noone asked the witness as to
the various times Sproats had been alb
sent from the engine house. When he
named the different occasions, two or
three in number, Mr.. Noone remarked: !:
Wasn't he away number of days
hauling ashes? I don't see that men
toned in the charges"
Foreman Beavers volunteered to ans.

THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT BILL.


At first glance the people of Salt
Lake City and county will perhaps
feel somewhat injured by the action of
the house branch of the legislature
IN passing the feature Of the county
government bill yesterday which pro-
Vldes that prosecutions for crime shall
be charged against the state instead of
against the respective counties where
rhe crimes have been committed. But
on second thought we are of opinion
that vexation viii give way and the
necessity for the course adopted will
appear. Crimes are committed not
only against the peace and good or
uer OF che immediate community where
they are perpetrated, but against the
fact that is SO far recognized that the
action against the criminal will be
brought in the name of the state and
not IN the name of the county or dis
trict.
We are Of opinion that much of the
objection TO the expenses of criminal
prosecutions being charged to the
0bAAC IllSlce1u vi lIlC l1CCblNC
where the crime is committed grows
out of a misconception as to the ma
ture of county governmental the
thought that the relation of county
to the state is the same as the rela-
ton of a state to the Union. The re-
lations are by no means the same; the
sovereign power in a state is not di-
vided, and part of that sovereign pow
er given to the state government, and
the rest retained by the counties. The
counties are not political entities, hence
the analogy some think they see be-
tween the counties and the state, and
the states and the general govern
ment, does not exist.
Moreover, it would be simply out of
the question for some of the counties
to bear the expenses of their criminal
prosecutions They must have help;
the state must prosecute crime, and the
people of the state must bear the eX-
penses of ii; and if the heavier burden
falls upon Salt Lake county because
of this arrangement, it is because the
people and the property which make 1T
possible to bear the burden are also
here.

TO SEIZE CuBA.


Senator Mills, of Texas, yesterday in
troduced joint resolution directing
the president to request Spain to give
local self-government to Cuba, and in
the event of Spain refusing, the pre'si-
dent is authorized to take possession
of Cuba, using the naval and military
forces of the government for that pur-
pose, and holding it until the people of
Cuba can establish a local self-govern-
ment
That is a very remarkable resolution,
and one that should not pass. In the
first place in directing the president to
request Spain to give local sef-govern-
ment to Cuba it directs him to offer
an affront to that nation. If the re-
quest were made and refused, as OF
course it would be, then this govern
nlent is to seize Cuba and hold it until
the people of that island can establish
local lf-government. Such an at
tempt would be tantamount to dec
laration OF war and would be resented
as such. There is no doubt that tine
United States can take Cuba and hold
it, but it cannot be done by the turning
over of a. hand or the passage or
joint resolution by congress.
If the United States should seize
Cuba the conclusion might be reached
that the Cubans could not establish
local government. There would be
but one ending to the business then.
The United States would have stolen
Cuba All this, of course, is simply by
way of illustration; nothing more.
The Cubans have the sympathy OF
the American people and they would be
glad to see belligerent rights accorded
the Cubans, and if such action on the
part of the United STATES should lead
to serious misunderstanding and even
tually end in armed conflict, there
would be nothing of reproach in it all
But not so should Senator Mills joint
resolution be passed and acted upon.
The resolution may or may not be
passed, but Mr. Cleveland is not apt
to do anything in the premises that is
contrary to interna tional law or good
sound American sense.

TALES OF THE DAY.
Shooting the Rat-The Cowboys were
Treated to Genuine Surprise.

Irented to Il Genuine Surprise.
AS we were nearing Henrietta, Tex.
the conductor came into the smoking car,
IN which about a dozen men were seated,
ana after a look around he said:
gentlemen, we shall be pretty certain

rietta, and they will all come in this car.
Ihey are good fellows, as we all know
but rather wild. For instance Should thew

would very likely begin shooting at the

us made haste to get them out of sight.

sianted his hat over his ear and went on

know, said the conductor in an apollo
gettc way as he fingered
Yes, | heard you" was the quiet re-
ply of the man addressed.
You-you will keep your hat on?"
Il shall"
1t wasn't our funeral, and SO we had
nothing to say. We all took seats on the
other side of the car, however, and as
the train pulled up seven wild cowboys
on the platform whooped and yelled and
came rushing into the car. They took
seats at the front end of the car, while
1t wasn't minute before one of the
gang shouted:
Look at 1t, will you-look at that

'Shoot it," yelled a second
Gimme the first pop!" added a third.
This third man stood up in his seat,

two men faced each other for twenty

us there anything more can do for
your crowd?'
You bet!" heartily responded the othsr.
who had seemed a bit dazed. This ere
crowd wants to drink with you and then
have you learn us how to shootn'
They rushed over to him and shook
hands, begged his pardon for shooting
