County Commissioners.

At a meeting Of the Couny Commits
sioners yesterday an offer Of the editor
of the APPEAL vas under consider
alton regarding the sale Of land
owned by the county North Of the
Warm Springs road.
The offer was to bid III th+ land at
$3.50 for 1872 acres and pay the county
in printing and advertising at $40 a
month. As the highest bid made for
the laGd at the last auction was so
cents an acre, the Beard concluded
that it was best foI the county to
accept tbs APPEAL offer, n the Dis
trict Attorney was ordered to draw up
contract by which the APPEAL should
do the printing and advertising and
deposit the warrants with the RecOr-
der until the amount of $3.50 was on
deposit. when The city was TO accept
the amount and give a deed.
In the afternoon Mr.. Bray said that
he thought the county had better 90
slow Oh such a contra ct as he thought
that more money could be secured for
the land as with proper irri. alton it
was worth a great deal more.
On his motion the matter went over
until the next meeting.

The Weehawken Common Council q short
time ago appointed Councilmen Wouters and
Reilly us q committee to look after tho con-
struction of a new fire house for the town. Ac-
cording to the plans, the building was to have
a front of pressed brick. One day while the

Reilly: suggested to Wouters that as they had
had the honor Of experimenting the workssit
would be very appropriate for their names to
appear in some place on the ediice.
THAT wouldn't do replied Wouters You
see. people would think we owned It,"
Reilly said mo more, and Nouters felt sure
that his colleagues idea had been given up.
When Wouters visited the new building yes.
terday his attention was attracted to. n pile of
pressed brick. lilo looked them over awhile
and was well pleased with their color and
manufacture. Finally no noticed one with a
name STAMPED upon 1t. He picked up the
brick and there to his amazement was the
name Reilly.

questioned he replied:

POOL OF KENTUCKY WHIsKEH MEN.
An Arrangement which Contemplated Merely

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 20.-The latest scheme
OF the Kentucky d~istillers and whiskey owners

encCs all the week. 1t il thought 1t avoids the
veal: point which has made all other attempts
at combination fail, the purchase of the dis

holdings and production and let tho selling be
done without competition. Thirty-hy We men and

Ht Belonged to John Morgan. ana Most or Zee

PERRY, Oklahoma, Dec. 29.-When Gen. John
Morgan. the famous Confederate raider, was
captured in Ohio he was taken before Judge
Shalcford, now Of Muskogce. I. T.. who was
then q Colonel in the Union Army. During
Morgan's examination he handed his pistol to .
man named Thompson, who removed to Clay
county, Mo-, after the war, taking the pistol
with him. 1t was always suspected that Thomp-
son knew moro about tho James gang
than ne ever told, and in one of the bold
raids of the brothers this same pistol
played an important part in the hold.up in tho
James in ST. Joseph. A few weeks before tho
Didot, a F~renchman, who moved to Arkansas
City, Kan. Didot left Arkansas City on Sept.
10. 1892. when the run was made into, the
Cherokee strip, and settled on a piece Of land
near Perry
During a bold hold-up on the Atchison. Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad, near Red Rock, one of
tho train robbers took this pistol from Didot.
Bill Dalton a~fterward got tho pistol and used 10
in all of his robberies. When he was killed n
deputy marshal took the weapon. This deputy
was afterward killed in an encounter with
Dynamite Dick. who appropriated the pistol.
and when he was killed a short time ago 1t came
into the possession Of q man in this city. The
latter sold 1t last week to q man living In Fort
Smith. who forwarded the pistol and cartridge
belt to his sister in st. Louis as q Christmas gift.

The spanish Ambassador Complains or Them
and Calls Them "Annrchtsta" - Spnin's
Real Grievance Is That the Paris Cabana
Are Sending Much Aid to tho Patriots.
PARIS. Dec. 2o.-Dr. Betances. delegate Of the
Cuban republic horc, has been politely notified
by an envoy from the Project OF Police that
when no noxt gives cause for complaint to tho
friendly Government of her Majesty tho Queen
OF Spain, he will DO expelled from the territory
Of tho French republic.
Other important members OF tho Cuban colony
in Paris, who have largely contributed to the
revolutionary fund, have received tho same
admonition. AS for DIR. Betonces, this Is the
second time that he has been warned by a mes
senger from the Chief Of Police. 1t is certain
that IL Spain takes umbrage again no will be
arrested and sent TO tho frontier, in spite of his
forty years residence In Paris and the great
respect in which he is personally held.
The Spanish Ambassador in Paris called the
attention Of the French Government to the
"anarchical propaganda" as he remarked, that
was carried on in France in favor Of Cuba. The
recent meeting held here in honor Of Maceo
was the main cause of the Ambassadors wrath.
At that meeting testimonials of their sympathy
with tho Cubans were received from members
Of the French Senate and Chamber of Deputies.
from NJ. Baudin, ex.Mayor Of Paris, and from
the Society Against the Cruelties of spain."

letters came from Rome, Brussels. and othcr
parts Of Europe.
The Spanish Ambassador insisted upon calling
tho Cubans Anarchists" because of a letter 10

count of n speech by c.. Matato, one Of the edi-
tors of Henri Rochofort's LIntransiGeant. NJ.
Rochefort's strong support Of the Cuban cause
was also alleged as n proof of the meetings dis
turbing character.
But the real reason OF Spain's protest and
Frances throat to expel the Cubans 10 that largo
amounts of money have been collected here
recently and sent to New York for the expedi-
tIon department of the Junta. The creditors of
Spain in France see how rapidly Spain is losing
Cuba and fear that their capital invested in
Spanish.C uban bonds will be lost. So they de-
sire to cut of this source of supplies for the
Cuban Army.
