The JUDGE of q U. S. Circuit Court
in Indiana has decided that the civil
service law is not binding upon repub-
lican U. S. marshals, and that they can
remove their democratic deputies at
will. The courts are doing all they
can to inspire the republican majority
in Congress to repeal the civil service
law and abolish the whole hypocritical
and bumbug system it has engendered.

The Aldermen soon appeared and
took seats.
When the joint meeting came to or
der,
Alderman Sweeney explained that
the Board of Aldermen would probably
not concur with Council in the ordi-
nance to tear up the centre of Lee
street from Prince to Wilkes and make
a gravel or broken stone centre. He
said Alderman Hsvener had intro.
duced resolution to break the large
stone and replace it as stone pave
ment.
After considerable discussion as to
the proper method TO be pursued on
Lee street, it appeared that one square
on that street between Duke and Wolfe
street had been torn up, and that this
method of street change did not prove
acceptable to the residents of that
square, most of whom desired to have
the street paved with smaller cobble
stone.
Mr.. Trimyer remarked facetiously
that he understood that the peo-
pie of some of the blocks on Lee
street who had lived there for
q hundred years were so much attach
ed to the memory of George Washing
ton that they did not desire to see
these immense cobble stone monu-
ments to him disturbed, and he was in
formed that the present representa-
tives would not be sent back because
they had favored this improvement.
Mr.. Snowden said that the people OF
Lee street were entirely in favor of i'm
proved streets. They had not forgot.

care to have those cobble stones longer

have one good square than three
squares improperly done. The people

going on up Second street. When he
got to the spot all had fled save Bellew,

town with MS man, taking him to Con-
stable Simons' office. Then Frowiss was
escorted to the office of Peck & Foley
attorneys, TO whom he talked about TAX
ing his case. At last another trip was
made to Justice Owens court room,
where Heart made the following start
ling return upon the warrant which had
been issued out of that court and placed
in the sheriff's hands for service. The
introduction is the usual printed form;
the balance OF the matter, quoted, in
serted by Heart in writing:

within warrant on the % day of Jan
uary 1897 and served the said warrant

stable l.. A. Co
"By j. w. Heart Deputy"
The unique document staggered Clerk
Kinsey and he turned 1t over to the
Judge. The latter informed Heart that
the complaint he had sworn to at the
Palms was worthless, and that Frowiss
would be held in his court on the war
rant as at first issued. The two, Gran
dali and Schriner, having appeared as
promised, were then arraigned, exam
ination being set for Thursday next at
10:30 a. m. Bonds were put up by Gran
dali and, Schriner, but Heart wanted to
take his man home with him again and
board him. Later on Frowiss also gave
bonds.
When asked by Clerk Kinsey why
he had not thrown Frov'iss into Jail
Heart replied that he had no authority
to do so on a warrant and must take
charge Of him until the matter was
disposed of by the court. He was quick
ly enlightened on this subject and left
for home minus his prisoner but better
posted on the duties of his office. Mean
while the district attorneys office hai
been informed of what was going on,
and Deputy Holton telephoned to JUS
tice Bryant at the Palms to dismiss the
complaint filed there, and thus end the
comedy of errors.

CINCINNATI, Jan. pa special to
the Commercial Tribune from Key West
says: A horrible story comes from Jum-
ento, province of Santa Slara, telling of
quick retribution to the Spaniards for
their butchery and barDarous methods of
war.
A Spanish force under Captain Martel-
10 entered the place which had been the
camp of the insurgents and before going
away secretly poisoned well and a
spring noted for afTording excellent pure
water. That evening a Spanish band of
guerillas entered the town and used
the water from which over twenty five
men died. The guerilla captain charged
the Cuban residents and shot them dead.
He then turned the women over to the
tender mercies of the men who shot the
young boys who attempted to save their
mothers and sisters. He burned the viii
lage. The next day some of the Spanish
troops told the guerillas the story of the
trap they had set for the Cubans and
learned that their own companions in
arms had been caught by their own
barbarous plots.

INVIDIOUS DISCRIMINATION.

The wheelmen of Baltimore are up
in arms over the recent bicycle ordi-
nance passed by the park board of that
city They particularly object to coast
ing being forbidden, and also claim that
horse vehicles as we'll as bicycles in the
park after dark should be compelled to
carry lights Their influence resulted
recently in their being allowed by the
mayor to nominate one member of the
park board, and with his help they pro-
pose to try and get the ordinance re-
scinded, ard failing in that. they will
apply to the legislature to have a bill
passed according to bicycle riders the
same privileges and rights as owners
or drivers of other vehicles, and doing
away with all class restrictions. In the
meantime the state division has an
nounced that i. will carry to the courts
the case of any member arrested and
fined for refusing to carry a light in
the park on the roads used by ordinary
vehicles. Chief Consul Sans thinks
there is a good chance of having the
discrimination declared illegal if this
is done. This has long been the conten-
ton of wheelmen in other states as
we'll, and decision of the courts would
be welcomed so that the question could
be set at rest, for if riders of the wheel
are accorded the same privileges as are
accorded to other vehicles, then one can
not be compelled to carry a light at
night, while the other is not.-New York

q Country Constable
SWORE TO A NEW COMPLAINT
No Authority to Put His Prisoner in Jail,
So Kept Him Himself
Captures Man on a Felony Warrant
But Adopts Methods of Procedure
Which Are Not Down in the Code

A peculiar proceeding, which but Illus
trates the methods of some rural officers,
came to light in Justice Owens court
yesterday afternoon during the ar
raignment of +. G. Crandall, Frank
Schriner and Frank Frowiss. charged
with assaulting Gamekeeper Hugh
Walters with a deadly weapon on the
grounds of the ALA Gun club at Rallona
last Tuesday night, full particulars of
which have already beer published.
Crandall and Schriner came into the
court room Friday afternoon and gave
themselves up, hearing that a warran MT
was out for their arrest, and promised
to have Frowiss on hand the next day
for arraignment. but they miscalculated
little, for although Frowiss was on
hand at the proper time he came in Gus
tody of j. w. Heart, a deputy under Con-
stable Simpns of Ballona township.
Frowiss has been working on ranch
near Inglewood and was on Friday
morning about 10 o'clock arrested on the
ranch by Heart, who took him in a bug
gy to his residence at the Palms, thence
TO this city They went to the sheriff S
office, where Heart secured the neces-
sary warrant for Frowiss' arrest and
late in the afternoon the pair wandered
into Justice Owens court room, but
found no one in, as court had adjourned
for the day.
Getting into the buggy once more
Heart started back to the Palms with
his prisoner, instead of placing him in
Jail. On the way out they met Crandall
and Schriner in a two-seated rig, who
had BEEN down to where Frowiss was
working to bring him into court as they
had promised When Heart ascertained
who the other men were he wanted to ar
rest them also, but was compelled to re-
linquish his purpose when he found that
they had already been to court and We're
out on their own recogmiZance to get
their companion.
Leaving Crandan and Schriner, Heart
took Frowiss on to the Palms and late
in the evening, after consultation with
Justice of the Peace w. T. Bryant, swore
to new complaint before that officer,
alleging assault with a deadly weapon.
Upon this the prisoner was awaigned
and, as he says, entered a plea of not
guilty, which is in conflict with the stat
utes, as a prisoner may not plead1o a
felony complaint in a Justices court, but
can only be held for examination. Fro
wlss' bond was fixed at $500 and them he
was taken by Heart to his residence and

At about 2:30 this morning the uncon-
scious body of young man was found
on Second street between Vine and Ala
media lying in pool of blood. partly on
the sidewalk and partly in the gutter.
From a CHASTITY wound on the head the
crimson fluid had flowed in torrents,
forming in great puddles all about while
near by lay the weapon with which
the injury was undoubtedly inflicted, a
broken billiard cue.

as evidences of the crime the shattered
club, one black felt hat, one soft white
and one straw hat which were found ly-
ing in the dust of the road, also piece of
cloth evidently torn from the sleeve of a
coat during the struggle.
At the hospital it was seen that the
patient was literally soaked in blood,
the clothing Of the upper part of the
body being stained with the dark fluid.
The victim was partially conscious and
able to give to repeated questions mon
osyllabic answers. His name, he said,
was James Bellew. a teamster, residing
with his father. Terry, at 566 Tulip
street. He had been out during the
evening with two friends, Billy Foster,
