heard the merits Of establishing state
sewage commission was discussed.
Representative Cowell Of Waterbury
managed the forces which favor the
establishment of the commission. Judge
Cowell spoke at length on the subject

the matter was of the gravest impor-

INTERCOLLEGIATE RELAY RACES.
Nearly Every College in the Country Will
Participate.

Philadelphia, Feb, 9.-The committee
on track athletics at the University of
Pennsylvania has decided to hold the
annual intercollegiate relay race meet
ing on April "a. All the preliminary ar
rangements have been completed, eX
cept the grouping of colleges, universe
ties, preparatory schools and high
schools. This will be done in a few
days.
There will be two races to determine
the college championship of America.
One will be for distance of a mile,
each man to run quarter of a mile.
The other will be four-mile race, each
man to run mile. Harvard, who has
won the mile championship for the past
two years, has signitied her intention
of entering, and will no doubt make a
great effort to again land the pennant
Pennsylvania will be found in both
races.
Although thirty colleges and twenty
eight preparatory schools took part in
the games last year. the indications are
that a greater number will have teams
here this year. More than sixty col
leges and universities will be invited
and about that many preparatory
schools and high schools. The COM
nittee will endeavor to have four
teams in each race, as was the case last
year.
The relay teams from Holy Cross,
which defeated Yale on the 9Th instant,
will be invited to again contest with
the sons of Eli. 1t is to be hoped that
both teams will enter the championship
race, as the latter did last year. Fine
silk banners will be presented to the
winning teams as trophies and watches
and cups to the individuals.
Special prizes will be given in cham
pionship race which will be open to all
the preparatory schools Of the United
States. Invitations will be extended to
Exeter, Andover and a number of 9TH
er prominent New England preparato-
ry schools, as well as to several of the
leading schools in New York city.

health 500 enough. Ii you are mot

ever thought that your kidneys ray
be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the Kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to nrinate, scanty supply, pain
or dull ache in the back is also con

There is more Catarrh in this sec

BILE. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies. and by
constantly failing to cure with local
pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Ell Shaw Arrested for killing Hiu
Mother md GrandMOther.

mother ana nunlO
Camden, N. j., Oct. 16.-Eli Shaw was
taken into custody by the police Off
Gals Friday afternoon and formally
charged with the murder of his moth
er, Mrs. Sarah Shaw, and grandmother,
Mrs. Emma Zane, which occurred in
this city Tuesday morning. The arrest
was based on newly-discovered evil
dence, including the finding of a 32-
caliber revolver of which two chambers
had been fired at the bottom of a CHM
ney. The pistol was thrown into the
chimney through a stove hole in the
room in the third story, which had been
occupied by Shaw. The police also dis
covered upon close examination of the
floor of Shaw's room several blood
spots. Shaw was found at the home Of
a cousin, entertaining his sweetheart,
whom he was to have married to-day.
When charged with the crime Shaw
protested his innocence, and in answer
to the question as to the ownership of
the revolver said it belonged to him.
He was then told of the blood spots on
the floor of his room. He grew pale
and reeled against the side of his cell,
talking incoherently. Prosecutor Jen-
kins rigidly c~ross-examined Shaw for
three hours and a half. When he left
Shaw's cell the prosecutor stated he
felt sure he had the right man. The
motive for the crime, he said, was
doubtless a desire on the part of Shaw
to inherit the property belonging to his
grandmother and mother, in orderto be
married. His salary was small and he
had made arrangements to rent an ex-
pensiYe house.

DON'T WANT ANNEXATION.

War Will Not Last IL Year.
London, Oct. 16.-Col. Jose Zayas, who
says he is accredited by the Palma
Cuban junta, of New York, as minister
plenipotentiary to Great Britain from
the Cuban republic, in an interview, is
quoted as expressing the belief that the
war in Cuba will not last another year.
Spain, says Col. Zayas, cannot finance
the campaign and should have accept
ed the insurgents offer of $3.50, 900, 900
for the island under the guarantee of
the United States. Col. Zayas does not
anticipate assistance from the United
States. All the Cubans desire, he
says, is fair play and the recognition
of belligerent rights, so that they can
secure the necessary supplies for their
troops. In conclusion, Col. Zayas is
quoted as saying:
There is no truth whatever in the opin-
ion expressed in England that the Cubans
desire annexation to the United States.
We are fighting for independence, and do
not banker after annexation, which will not
be the outcome of the struggle. There is
not the least likelihood of the Cubans &c.
cepting autonomy. Independence or death
Is our mOttO.n

The readers OF the PLAIN DEALER
dence taken before the legislative in.
that 1877 clerks were employed 10
making abstracts Of the census, where
but 81 were required to do the work.
The others were folding and address
ing political matter in the interest of
Mcfarland, the man under whom
they were employed, and dividing
their salary with him that they might
retain their places on the pay roll.
Perhaps it has escaped the memory
of our readers, that n of these I'M
necessary clerks, was from Howard
county. 1t is not probable that he
was required to divide his salary
with Mcfarland, because his mission

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Chief of Detectives
Cclieran, of the central station, and four
of his men have effected one of the
most important captures of criminals
recorded for years past.
AS u result of the efforts of the Off

daring burglars of the United States
and Canada occupy cells at the central
station, and $4,000 worth of stolen
property is in the hands of the police
awaiting Identification, to be returned

The stolen property is the proceeds
of a long line of burglaries committed
In every city of prominence in the coun-
try during the past five months.
The men under arrest are: "Sheeny
Joe" Rubenstein, the leader and brains
of the gang; james Williams, Harry
Rogers, James Flaherty. They fell in
to a trap set for them by Capt. Colleran
Wednesday evening. After persistent
search, extending over six days, the
officers met these men at the corner
of Madison street and Fifth avenue, as
had been planned. When the thieves
found they had fallen into a trap they
drew revolvers and fired point-blank
at the detectives, but their shots went
wild, and before they could again fire
the officers had overpowered them.
