some of those hair-raising stories of blood
and slaughter which come ostensibly from
cuba by way Of Florida. During the

twenty-five war correspondents have left
New York for the lnsurgent camps. hut
not one of them has arrived there; yet
some Of them are writing letters from the
rebel camp, while they are 'incog In Key

/ On Wednesday cripple named Ed
ward T. Genung applied to Secretary
stuart of the Associated Charities for
admission to the county hospital. AT
first glance he appeared, by reason Of his
misfortune to be deserving the sim
cerest commiseration, but as matter of
fact he is we'll able to look out for
himself He is paralyzed and walks on
| crutches, and, so far as may be judged
from his own statement, natures law OF
compensation has favored him with such
a development of the gall that there is
little danger that he will come to any
serious grief
Upon being interrogated Genung
stated that he had arrived from Albu-
querque four days previous, having been
given transportation by the division SUI
perintendent from New Mexico to Bar
stow, and thence on to Los Angeles.
He expressed himself very critically re-
garding the various hospitals, upon
which he had levied tribute. at San
Francisco, Sacramento, Woodland, Co
lusa, Des Moines, Denver, Las Vegas ana
Chicago. The Windy City" he had no
use for at all, for the inmates of the
hospital were dosed from black bottle
and this peripatetic hospital patient IN
sinuated that the contents of the bottle
acted largely in the interests of the un-
dertaker. He wouldn't stay in such
place, and went to Des Moines, Iowa,
and there he remained three years. He
was very comfortable there, but he
broke the rules too often by going on
spree and got turned out Secretary
Stuart intimated that he was scarcely
the kind of man that could be admitted
to the county hospital, upon which
Genung inquired what he was wanted to
do.
do you want me to bum on the pub
lie? l know how to do it if you do"
What do you mean by that?" Mr..
Stuart inquired.
well, I'll tell you, If have to; just
go about and show this" and suiting the
action to the word this sturdy paralytic
pulled out a stack of printed cards and
handed one to Mr.. Stuart. 1t read as
follows:

by an OK wagon on the freight roads of
Idaho. and received an injury TO my spine.
June 49, 1888. l have no home and must live
by the kindness of the public. and any help
will be worthily bestowed and truly appre-
ciated. (. F. GENUNG.
Genung failed to understand why there
should be so much fuss in getting admis-
sion to the hospital, and went away,
promising to return after investigation
had been made to receive final answer.
If any pedestrian should be handed a
card bearing the above appeal by a
crippled man of about 81 years he will
know that he is confronted by one of the
checklist of the trampish fraternity

TEARS WIN OUT
Sympathy for a Family Helps the
Father Out

There was much moaning and she'd
ding of tears in Justice Sexton's court
room yesterday. Julio Trego. a
Mexican, was charged with an assault
with a deadly weapon. His wife ap-
peared in court with babe at her breast
and six others toodling along behind,
and while the case was in progress of
trial made things for time very lively.

father was to be sent to states prison

hugging him and refusing to be COM
forted. Inasmuch as the evidence show
ed that when Trego drew his knife he
was standing about seven feet from the
complaining witness, and that another
man was standing between them,
thus reducing the possibility of
harm being done to mini
mum, Assistant District Attorney
Williams consented to the defendant
pleading guilty to simple assault. This
he did, and was fined s40-with no alter
native sentence of Imprisonment. AS
there is just as much chance of Trego
paying $4,000 as $40, the fine was simply
to satisfy the requirements of the law,
and defendant went free. And wasn't
that a happy lot of half ragged young
sters!

Is inconsistent with the allegations OF
the complaint and with the position the

A FACE WASH
That Caused Pain and Threatened the
Patients Eyesight

A rather odd suit was decided by Judge
Shaw yesterday. Frederick Wilding. a
gentleman 81 years of age, living at 639
South Olive street with his daughter,
Isabel, brought suit to recover $500
damages from John H. Trout, who keeps
the drug store at the corner Of Sixth
street and Broadway.
The facts upon which he based his
claim were these: On September 5th
of last year he was troubled with a n irri-
tation on the face, caused by sunburn.
and sent his daughter to the defendants
drug store to get ten cents worth OF
medicinal alcohol with which to make
a detection to battle his face. The al
cohol was brought, and Mr.. Wilding
made a wash, consisting of one table
spoonfuls of water, and with this laved
spoonsful of water, and with this laved
his face. He found. however, that in
stead of the irritation being allayed his
face became infiamed, and his eyes were
much injured. He then claimed that
Trout had given to his daughter wood"
alcohol instead of "medicinar' alcohol,
and instituted action.
Mr.. Trout stated upon the witness
stand yesterday that the day after he
solo the medicine Miss Wilding came
to him with letter from her father. In
it he was charged with having given
wood" instead of medicinal" alcohol,
and if he didn't compromise the matter
an action at law would be begun. The
witness explained to Miss Wilding the
impossibility of his having given her the
wood" alcohol, as it being different in
color and smell, and seldom called for
the mistake was almost an impossi-
blity. Not wishing to have trouble
however, he went up to Mr. Wilding,
and there, on the mantel, found the bot
tie containing the alcohol-half of it still
remaining. He explained to Mr. Wild
ing that not only had no mistake been
made, but that alcohol in any shape was
not the proper thing to put upon his
face.
H. NJ. Sale, L. Laux, DR.. F. D. Bullard,
professor of chemistry a the local medi-
cal college, and others testified to the
characteristics of wood" ae distinguish
ed from the better known form of al
cohol, and it was the general opinion that
the effect of one in its application to the
skin in no way materially differed from
the other. In the light of this testimony
the court ordered judgment for the de-
fendant.

A PREFERRED CREDITOR
An Opinion of Judge Shaw in the Mt
Lowe Springs Matter

In the suit of Hilliker against the Mt.
Lowe Springs company an opinion was
handed down by Judge Shaw yesterday.
''The action is in the nature of a credit
or's BILL" says the court, for the benefit
Of the plaintiff and all other creditors
20 subject the equitable assets ana
other property of defendant to the pay
ment of plaintiffs judgment and the
debts of the other creditors who may
come in under the bill The sole matter
now to be decided is the question OF
whether plaintiffs judgment is to be
paid in priority to the debts. l do not
think plaintiff is entitled to any prefer
ence by reason of the attachment issuei
in the suit in which his original judy
ment was obtained and levied on the
property which has since been sold by
the receiver, and the proceeds of which
constitutes the fund in controversy.
The plaintiff claims a prior lien or
the property taken by the receiver and
in support Of his claim seeks to show that
an attachment had been issued at the
beginning of the action to the same
sheriff; had been by him levied on this
identical property, and that at the very
time the sheriff made his return tha,
he could find no property, and at the

TO BUY BEER
A Suit to Compel an Assignment of
the Orpheum Bar Lease

On the 18th of last March the Maier &
Zobelen brewery made an agreement
with John J. O'Connor, by the terms Of
which the latter agreed that if the brew
cry would get lease Of the Orpheum bar
from Gustav Walter for him, he. in re-
turn, would get all his beer from the
Maier G Zobelein brewery.
The lease was obtained through the
efforts of the brewery people. and then
O'Connor repudiated the agreement and
not only refused to buy his supplies of
beer from the Zobelein brewery, bu,
boldly stated that he would buy where
he pleased and make transfer of his
lease to whom he pleased. Now suit
has been brought to compel O'Connor
to keep his agreement the plaintiff, in
alleging the facts. stating that they are
threatened with a loss of $1,000 1t is

duct of the juror that had rendered nee
essary the discharge of that jury. during
the tendency of the case at bar. Some
curiosity is being manifested as to what

During the afternoon Mrs. Mary Bra
