what celebrated gold bond injunction
suit, in which w. j. Bryan, as the
plaintiff, sought to restrain the mayor
and city council from delivering 1884,
500 refunding bonds with gold clause
attached to ex-City Treasurer Stephen
son, has been decided by the supreme
court and Mr.. Bryan's position was sus-
tanned. Nearly two years ago propo-
sition to vote bonds was submitted and
carried by a bare majority. The city
council contracted for their purchase
with Stephenson, who insisted on gold
clause, which was allowed. Mr.. Bryan
enjoined the sale en- the ground that
the bonds were illegally carried, and
further that the city charter prohib-
tied discrimination between gold and
currency bonds.

An Americans Fate in Cuba.

Havana, Feb. 20.-Dr. Richard Ruiz,
a. naturalized American citizen, was
found dead in his cell in the Guanabacoa
Jail Wednesday afternoon at four
o'clock. There is little doubt that he
was beaten to death by his jailers at
Fondaviela's orders. DR.. Ruiz, who
studied and practiced dentistry in
Philadelphia for many years, was ar
rested some ten days ago and charged
with having helped Arrangements band
to derail a train several weeks ago,
when two Spanish officers were cap
tured. The charge was of the fiimsiest
character, as everyone in Guanabacoa
knew that Ruiz attended strictly to
his business and took no interest in
political or revolutionary movements.

Attempt to Light Kitchen Fire with
Gasoline Results in Fatal In
juries to Five Members of
the Household.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 20.-The family of

The injured ones are at the Cleveland
general hospital.
Jacob Ciclecz, his wife and three chill
dren, aged three, two and one years,
were in bed. John Ciclecz, brother of
Jacob, arose about five o'clock to light
the fire. He took what he thought was
the kerosene can. Instead he got hold
of the gasoline can. He poured the
gasoline on the kindling and touched a
match to the stuff. In an instant there
was an explosion. John Ciclecz was
hurled to the end of the room, his cloth
ing on fire. The fire. communicated
to the feather bed in which were Mrs.
Jacob Ciclecz, the three children and
another woman. Jacob Ciclecz was
also in the same room at the time of the
explosion. With their clothing all
ablaze, the father, mother and the other
woman seized the three children and
ran out into the yard Passing work
men rushed to the rescue. They took
off their coats. and heroically did all
they could to eNtinguish the flames
that were consuming the people. Mean
while Mike Gumbert, who lives at 600
Canal street, and his family put out the
flames in the house.
John Ciclecz' suffering at the hospi-
tai was terrible. The skin of his entire
body dropped off in patches. The finger
nails and flesh fell from his hands. His
eyelashes were gone and his hair was
singed to the scalp. His face was little
more than a mass of roasted skin and
flesh. Mrs. Ciclecz was frightfully
burned. The oldest child, Victoria,
was burned from head to foot. Joseph
Jerga, boarder. and Albert Jerno, the
father of Mrs. Ciclecz, were also badly
burned
