CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

Representative Shafroth, Of Colorado, has IN
idea he can solve the great deficiency question
by making the employees Of the Government
bear the burden. However, he includes Con-
gressmen. He has introduced bill in the
House which provides that " in order that each
officer and employee of the United States shall
have direct interest in the economical adj
ministration of the Government, the Secretary
of the Treasury is directed for each month the
expenditures of the Government are greater
than the receipts to deduct and retain in the
Treasury from each salary in excess of 5000 per
month 90 per cent. thereof, and from each
salary under said amount 10 per cent thereof"
1t fun err provides that in no case shall tbs
amount so deducted be repaid unless at the
end of the fiscal year the receipts for the year
have exceaded the expenditures. The Presi-
dent and Justices of the Supreme Court are the
only officials exempted from the operations Of

NO FROST
Expected in New Orleans Inside
Of a Month.
Forty-Eight New Cases and Three
Deaths Reported.
From a Single House on Bourbon Street
Four Cases Were Reported I'm IA lunch
The Yellow Fever Flag Friday Was
Run Up in Every Direction.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 16.-Fever cases
rolled up rapidly Friday. BY o'clock
there had been II reported; by o'clock
there were Sc, and by 6 o'clock there
were Al SO that early in the evening
the prospects were excellent that this
day would show the high water mark.
The large number of cases, however,
did not represent a corresponding in
crease in foci. From single house on
Bourbon street four cases were report
ed in bunch by DR.. Formento, and in
his official statement to the board the
doctor wrote that, somewhat remark
able to say, the cases were taken al
most simultaneously.
A somewhat similar condition OF af-
fairs was reported from 70S and 71O
Third street, a double cottage. Two
cases were found on one side and three
on the other and the report of them
was made in a group. The cases as
usual are confined to no particular
locality of the city and the yellow flag
was run up Friday in every direction.
An excellent feature of the situation,
however, is that recoveries and dis
charges of patients are numerous. This
is the fortieth day of the fever and Fri
day afternoon the total number of re-
coveries exceeded the total number of
cases now under treatment, showing
the success which local physicians are
meeting with in treating the cases.
The weather bureau reported a
storm in the gulf Friday with posi-
bility of its reaching New Orleans 1t

weather is trifle cooler Friday even

LOST HIS MIND.

Pitiable Plight of william Grnss, Under
Indictment for Burglary and Larceny.
William j. Grass, the young man
who was employed by the police
authorities as decoy to assist William
Wolff in burglarizing the Office of $. B.,
Kirby e. Co., and who was subsequent
ly arrested and indicted for his part in
the affair, is in a most pitiable con-
dition in the county Jail. He has lost
his reason entirely as result of brood
ing over his position.
Readers of the Leader will re member
the circumstances surrounding the
case. There is no doubt that Grass
thought he was backed by the law in
going into the Kirby building with
Wolff, and he said he was TO have been
paid sum of money by Marshal Dye
or some other person interested in
catching young Wolff, who by his own
confession, had been in the place be-
fore
When Wolff had his preliminary
hearing before Mayor Meisenhelder,
and was bound over to court Jacob
Wolff, his father, caused the arrest of
Grass on the same charge. Ora, soon
realized his serious position, and
though undoubtedly innocent of in
tentional burglary, he brooded con-
stantly oyer his trouble. A few days
ago it was noticed that he was acting
peculiarly and it was at first believed
that he was feigning insanity. A
physician was called and examined the
unfortunate young man, pronouncing
him insane beyond doubt.
Grass was seen by Leader man Sun
day and his condition is sufficient to
cause pity in the hardest heart. He is
unable to talk intelligently upon any
subject and has spent the past two
days pacing the floor and looking up
at the ceiling. He talks to himself in
disconnected manner, harping con-
tinually upon the idea that everybody
has left him. He sheds tears copi-
ously and devotes considerable of his
time to stopping up small holes with
paper.
The boys condition is such that
Sheriff McCallister deems it unwise to
keep him longer in Jail. He will be ar
raigned before Judge Rood on lun-
acy affidavit today and in all proba bill.
ity will be sent to the Athens State
Hospital.

Budding Hopes of Washington County

IRE of the Towne Meeting.

Budding Hopes of Washington County
IRE of the Towne Meeting.
The Coe- -Warner-Towne. .Tillinghast
meeting at Muskingum Park Saturday
Afternoon was ope Of the rankest fail
'Snres in point Of numbers il the history
of the local Democracy, and it has cas-.
oyer the faithful wet blanket of dis
lcouras sment that will never be shaken
Oft The meeting vas advertised lar
'~and wide, and were the not the Demo-
cratic party the dismantled, sinking
hulk that it is, the audience would
have been a good one.
The best free silver drawing cards,
perhaps, in the United Stltes, were
billed. There was General Warner,
the president of the National Bimetalic
League; Hon. Chas. A. Towne, the ac-
knowledged peer of any silver orator
in the country; Mrs. Elizabeth Iilling-
hast, who assisted Warner iu frosting
the Springfield campmeeting; and
there was Coe, the incompatible,
neither Republican or Democrat, and
according to his own statement, moth
ing but a kicker against Senator
Hanna.
With all this array of talent (?) the
meeting was failure. When it was
called to order there were 15O people in
the audience, and at no time did the
crowd exceed 500. These figures are
liberal, but did not, however, abash
the speakers, who are no doubt familiar
with slim audiences, and they straight
way proceeded to make Republican
votes by calling up the old skeleton
and rehashing all the fallacious and
fiimsy 16 to arguments of 1896, There
was eloquence TO spare, but cearth
of common sense, and the burden oi
their song was that Mark Hanna had
in some way contributed to the election
of Mckinley and the return of prosper
ity, and should therefore be punished
according to the tenets of Democracy
When it was seen by the local com
mittee that the Park meeting was tc
be failure, dodgers were scattered

at the Auditorium, and this origina
stroke, with the assistance of the band
worked up respectable audience for al
evening meeting. After Mrs. Tilling

WON BY A FLukE.
Morgantown Defeats Marietta Football
Team by Score of to o.

norgantown Defeats Marietta Football
Team by Score of to o.
The heavyweight veterans OF the
West Virginia University defeated Ma
rietta College at Fairmount Saturday
by the close score of 6 to 0. The Mari
eta team covered themselves with
glory and would surely have won but
for Griffitl's unfortunate tumble of the
ball in scrimmage. The story OF the
game is best told in the dispatches
from Fairmount.
The Enquirer says: THE football
game here today between the Marietta
(Ohio) College and the West Virginia
University teams was a very interest
ing contest, but proved to be quite
surprise to the West Virginia boys, as
they had expected to easily defeat the
Marietta team on account of being so
much heavier and having had the ad-
vantage of two weeks more training
On the contrary the 1000 spectators
saw West Virginia favorites outplayed
and outgeneraled. The Marietta team,
although much lighter than their op-
ponents, we're better coached and used
better Judgment in both offensive and
defensive play. Marietta kept the ball
in the enemy's territory during the
major part of the game, and were
Il bout to score touchdown, but the
q" back" carrying the ball was run into
by three West Virginia boys, who
knocked the ball into the air, and it
was caught on the fly by the university
quarter back, McWhorter, who, having a
clear field before him, easily scored a
on simon-pure fuke."
The Wheeling Register has the fol-
lowing: The University foot boil team
scored touchdown in the last half of
the game here today. Marietta did
not score although they were within a
few yards of the goal when time was
called. The game was played over a
mile out of town and not more than
500 people attended. From the first
the contest was an exciting one and
the Ohio boys in the first half both
and outgeneraled the Uni
yersity team, although much lighter.
In the last half McWhorter got the
ball and clear field. His touchdown
caused great enthusiasm among the
800 University "rooters." who came
here on special train. White and
Showalter alternsted as referee and
umpire. Tinker and Anderson were
linesmen and Scott and Moore, time
