he goes into spasm and abuses the
members of the court in his paper,
because they were not generous
enough to open the county's treasury

No doubt the Dunn family are very
poor, but they were not county
charges. There are many o:her per
sons in the county just Is destitute
as the above family. and if the coun

share slike. The fact is, while the
court has taken the responsibility tc
render assistance to the poor. who
are not county charges, in certain
tipgencies. it is very questionable
whether the right is guaranteed by
law. The county court has nc
power except that conferred by
law, and their duties as servants
of the people are clearly defined BY
statute aud the court is held smena

duty in compliance with law.

ried to his aid He had almost reached the
body when he was driven back by the
fumes of the ammonia. He grabbed Grif-
fms leg and attempted to pull him out,
but was unable to do so and had to run
to escape the fumes. He hurried to the
opening which led to the engine room, and
alarmed David Clarke, the engineer. and
John Claeber, the fireman. The latter was
the first one to reach the floor on which
the injured man was lying, and he had to
give up after his throat was badly blistered
from the inhalation of the ammonia He
managed to crawl out after almost reach
ing Griffin.
Clarke, fearing that both of the men had
succumbed, hoisted a ladder to the side
windows and opened them to- let the gas
out. He entered the building, and by keep
ing close to the floor he found the lever on
the condenser and shut off the pressure.
When he reached the unfortunate man he
found him lying on his back, his head and
all of the upper part of his body badly
frozen. Clarke took him on his shoulder
to the window and down the ladder to the
ground, where it was found that life was
not extinct, but he died on the way to the
hospital.
An examination showed that both of his
eyes had been burned out and all of the up

eaten by the fumes. The doctors expressed
the belief that he became unconscious with

wEYLER's BRUTAL POLICY.
Pftiful Story of the Starvation of the
PacincOs In Cuba.

Pitiful Story of the Starvation of the
PacfflcOs In Cuba.
The London Chronicle prints details from
describes as the unspeakable cruelty OF
General Weyler's attempts to repress the
revolution. 1t says:
General Weyler ignores the eastern dis
trtct, where Cuba Libre is an accomplished
fact. 1t is true that he holds few towns
there, at great cost, but they are in reality
besieged.
The west Of Cuba is bowling waste,
though it was once the best portion of the
island. The insurgents roam at pleasure,
lodging the heavy columns. The pacificos
are still dying of ttarvation, yellow fever,
or smallpox. The position of the unfortu-
mates is heartrending.
1T seems impossible to find a redeeming
feature in the barbarous order which com
pels the pacificos, under pain of DEATH to
abandon their homes to the torches of the
soldiers and seek protection in the Span
ish towns This protection, so called, pro-
vided reservations of any waste land near
the cities, where the pacificos could build
palatial residences, as they liked. with
palm leaves. The thoughtful care that pro-
vided crude materials for their shelter,
after burning their homes took no trouble
to provide food.
1T is this act of the compulsory starva-
ton of thousands that will add another
blot to the bloody escutcheon of Spain. and
1t is already disgusting many of the lead
ing officers in the colony, who are not slow
now in condemning the fatuous policy OF
the captain general.

Hugh H. Hanna Announces Policy of
indianapolis Executive Committee.
Hugh H. Hanna, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee created by the none
tary convention held in Indianapolis last
January, has announced that he would
call the committee together, either at Chi
cago or Saratoga, within week. and it
would at once take up the matter of ap-
pointing a commission to frame a currency
bill fer presentation to Congress at the
beginning of the regular session.
1.-The executive committee said Mr..
Hanna, will be called together within a
week and the matter will be taken up ard
pushed without cessation to the end. The
strong and admirable message of President
Mckinley did not surprise me. He has
rever for a moment Wavered in the cause
of sound money or in his anxiety for ac-
ton in that direction by the present Con-
Eress.
Il have reason to know that at no time
has he believed the currency question of
secondary Importance to the tariff, but he
understood, as did everybody else famili II
with the situation In the Senate, that the
two questions could not be mixed without
DANCE of wrecking both measures.
THE vote on the Stone bill in the House,
authorizing the commission, was also graft
flying, and understood matters in the
Senate so we'll that it's action L. not sur
prisng. There is a majority in the Senate
for a currency measure that is right, and I
have no fear of the fate Of a proper bill in
that body"
