PHILIP HUGO TOWN AGENT
MR. BALDWIN VIII YAC1TB THE
OFFICE THIS MORNING.
Neither of the Gentlemen Disposed to
to Question the Recount-No Changes to
be Made at Present-Controversy Finally
Disposed OF.

Disposed OF.
The town agent or first selectman
controversy, which has been going on
in the courts for several weeks, has
come to an end. There will be no ar
guments made this morning in the su-
perior court; for before that tribunal
meets Philip Hugo will have been in
possession of the Office of first select
man one hour, as it will be turned over
to him by Robert e. Baldwin at 8
O'clock
Neither of the gentlemen could be
induced to speak at length on the sub
Ject last evening. Mr.. Baldwin said
That he had staked his claim upon the
recount, which he was sure the court
would order. He was satisfied that
there had been no mistake made in the
count ordered by the court, which gave
his competitor more votes than he
(Baldwin) received.
Mr.. Hugo by this count was GER
tainly entitled, without question, to
take the office, and he certainly was
not the man to attempt to keep him
out of it, said Mr.. Baldwin.
During the whole controversy the
two men have been on excellent terms
and the retiring town agent expressed
a willingness to make his successors S
term of office pleasant one.
Mr.. Baldwin will receive his salary
for performing the duties of first Sc
lectman up to date.
Mr. Hugo's pay will begin upon the
day he took the obligation, Deem

London Times Correspondent Says That
He is Not Dead.
London, Jan. 8.-The Times publishes
a dispatch from it's Havana correspon-
dent dated January 6. In it he says
he learns from a private and generally
trustworthy source that Antonio Ma
GEO, who was reported to have been
killed through treachery at Punta
Bravo, is still alive. He is severely
wounded, but is making favorable
progress toward recovery
The correspondent adds he himself
thinks it unlikely that Maceo is alive,
but says it is not impossible. He also
says that the return of General Wey-
Ter to Havana without forcing the reb-
els in Pinar del Rio is regarded as
proof of his failure.
1t is officially reported that Gomez,
with large force of rebels, is in the
province of Punta Clara advancing
westward.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. THE Constitu-
ton has dispatch from Key West,
Fla, which says General Gomez has
begun the work of reprisal against
Spaniards In an attack upon the CEN
tral trocha near Monron he captured
the Spanish garrison of Iago -avile, and
ia men. They were notified that by the
precedent set by their own government
they should prepare to meet their fate.
They were given an opportunity of
writing messages to friends in Spain,
and then, in groups of twenty-five,
they were shot to death.
weyler's announcement of the paci-
fication of Pinar del Rio does not
stand. There are now 5000 insurgents
in the province.

salute, thing not permissible under

On presenting himself he was asked
how he came to return the salute, know

Not in the least embarrassed. he
promptly answered, "Sir, always re-
turn everything I am not entitled to. !"

wit, laughingly dismissed him

BRAWLS WITH EMPLOYEES.
One Conductor Struck with knucks-
Car Windows Demolished.

In two cases Yesterday Street-car en-
ployes were handled roughly by passengers
they attempted TO eject from the cars. On
the North Pennsylvania-street line early in
the morning four men boarded car to ride
down town. They rendered the legal fare.
The conductor demanded cents. The pas
sengers refused to pay more than cents
and the conductor started to put them of.
Three of the men got off after a slight
show of resistance. The fourth man al
lowed the conductor 10 take hold or MN
and then dealt him a blow between the eyes
which almost rendered the conductor sense
less. He allowed the passenger TO ride Tor
nothing. The conductor says the passenger
hit him with pair of knucks, and those
who saw the result of the blow were in
A passenger on the North Indianapolis
line refused to pay more tnan 3 cents. The
conductor was unable TO pun MN from ms
seat and called the mOtOrman. The latter
had no sooner got his head inside the car
than the passenger made a grab for him.
The passengers long finger nails dug into
the motormans neck and three long gashes
torn, extending from under the jaw
several inches down the neck. This angered
the motorman and he proceeded to give the
passenger a trouncing and wound up by
throwing him bodily from the car.
Yesterday morning the Rev. q. A. Cars
tensen offered to pay the legal street-car
fare and the conductor insisted that he pay
cents. Mr.. Christensen did so under pro-
test and compelled the conductor TO sign
been collected. This plan was also fol-
lowed out by numerous other persons, and
it is understood that suits will be filed in
every case to collect the 500 penalty from
the company.
There were several rotous demonstra-
tions early in the morning on the down.
town streets. On the Illinois-street line
there seemed to be the most trouble. There
were crowds collected at the corners ready
to enjoy any excitement that might be
stirred up by some citizen objecting TO pay
an excessive fare and ready to assist any
citizen in enforcing the law. On a car
which came UP from the Union Station was
a wiry little old man who refused to pay
more than cents. The conductor tried TO
eject him, but could not bulge him from
his seat. AT Ohio street the car was
stopped and the crowd went to the old
mans assistance. y road officer had ar
rived by this time and the crowd was
fought back. But the old man remained
firm, and ii was seen that he could not be
thrown out without probability of injuring
him. The car was started and the old man
rode for nothing. In another case a pas
senger broke several windows in a melee
with q conductor.

A BLIND MAN ELECTED.
The Police Finally Arrested a Law
breaking Conductor.

Yesterday morning Superintendent Col
bert boarded an Indiana and Columbia-av-
nue. car on North West street TO ride down
a blind musician, got on the car and Of
fered the conductor cents. The conductor
refused to accept it and after some par
leying the passenger was forcibly elected
from the car. The conductor placed his
hand upon Hebbes arm and led him out.
Superintendent Colbert Immediately
placed the conductor, Charles Vena-
BILE. under arrest. When the car
reached Delaware and Maryland
streets the conductor was taken off
the car and to the police station. The mo-
torman continued on the trip until the last
passenger had alighted and then turned
his trolley and returned TO the street-car
barn.
The case of Venable, as we'll as several
others of the same kind, was continued in
Police Court until this morning, when
the attorneys of the Street-railroad Com
were tied UP in the Federal Court yester-
day morning.
During yesterday afternoon there was no
trouble about the Scent fares. Every pas
senger who offered cents and insisted up
on riding for that amount was allowed to
ride. Some who did not insist strongly
were made to pay cents. On the North
Illinois-street line crowd of dozen law
students, who did not know of the order
of the company TO its employees to accept 3
change and the conductor surprised them
all by accepting the amount rendered.
When all had paid he counted the pennies
and rang UP fare for each cents col
lected. The boys were disappointed at the
proceedings and left the car. at the next
street
