 A long line of drays were thus en- gagged all day long and at night DOT l tions of the principal streets had been put in good condition for travel The | innumerable dray loads of snow left on the upper part of the Green forms a sort of elevated plateau of the place.

PATENT LAW PRACTICE,

DIES MONIES. Jan. PA cores
pendent at Laurens, Iowa, asks, What
liability attaches to an applicant for
patent who proceeds to manufacture
the article for which the patent is APP
piled before the patent is granted in
case the application should be re-
fused?" Answer:-As rule when an
inventor applies for patent in good
faith and finds he has been an
ticipated and that his invention is sub
ordinate to prior patent and then
quits, that is the end of the matter.
But at the same time he would be
liable If prosecuted for infringement
and the general rules concerning
damages will apply. But the fact that
the infringer supposed himself to be
the first original inventor of the sub
ject matter covered by a prior patent
can be plead as mitigating fact that
the courts will recognize and be len
lent as possible to the infringer.

A WF u L w DIRK OF SPANISH
SOLDIERS IN CUBA.
Women and Children Lured from Their
Homes and Slaughtered - Reign Of
Terror In Guiana bacoa-Consul- ienerai
Lee Protests to WeyIer.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 12.-Stories
of fearful atrocity being perpetrated by
the Spaniards in Cuba reach this city
by every steamer. Colonel Fondeviela
Is responsible for the latest savagery.
Colonel Fondeviela was some time ago
made commandment of Guanabacoa,
which is just across the bay from Ha-
vana and which has been frequently
raided by the insurgents. Fondeviela,
on assuming command, began series
OF outrages against the Cuban inhabi-
tants. He first caused the murder Of
sixteen boys who were found outside
the Spanish lines, and who, Colonel
Fondeviela pretended, were trying to
join the insurgents.
But the most shocking crime Of all
was perpetrated, as alleged. on Thurs
day night, when the Spanish soldiers,
at Fondeviela's command, rushed
through the streets of the town, shout
ing that the insurgents were coming.
The inhabitants, alarmed by the cry,
| rushed out Of their homes, and as they
emerged they were shot down by the
Spaniards.
Thirty men, women and children
were killed, and their corpses left in
the streets. One girl, who fed in her
night clothes, prayed for mercy, but
she was assaulted by Spanish soldier,
and then butchered with a machete.
1t is reported to be significant that
none of the Spanish inhabitants rushed
from their homes, showing, as alleged,
that they had been warned by Colonel
Fondeviela of the trap laid for the
Cubans.
1t is stated in Havana that as soon
as Consul General Lee heard of the
butcheries he protested to Captain Gen.
eral Weyler, warning him that such
atrocities would inflame the people Of
the United States cSainst Spain.
1t is also reported that in the out
skirts Of Pipar del Rio, capital of the
province of that name. the Spanish SOL
diers go to the homes of Cubans, and
after tying handkerchiefs over the
mouths of their victims assault the
girls. Their parents and friends, IL
they say word, are put to death on
the spot. This gentleman says these
details, horrible as they are, can be
proved by unquestioned evidence, not
Cuban, but from American witnesses
who have seen the outrages here men,

patch from Madrid to the New York
Journal says that Prime Minister Can
ovas del Castillo has definitely accept
ed Secretary Of State Olney's proffer of
American Intervention, as well as the
terms which his excellency President
Cleveland and Mr.. Olney prescribe as
the price for their interference and the

The conditions mean perfect and
complete autonomy for Cuba. They

they are: Cuba to govern herself To
collect all taxes. To Gisburse all public
moneys. Spain to be debarred from all
share in the revenues of the island and
all interference in elections held on the
island.

O'NeiPs face, neither was Jack

To all who know him and are ac-
quainted with his habits such
statement as the above appears as

fact that Mr.. Youngs never drinks
anything stronger than lemonade
and was probably the only total

snarling, "I'll kill the son-of-a-
b--ch that struck that man. His
appearance and language terrified
the women and children, who
screamed and tried to get out of his
way. Considerations reigned in he

chief, started to head him off and
was arrested At this moment
John Houchins appeared on the
scene and soon cooled the Calhoun
county 'yap' down. 1t was the
most shocking exhibition of ignor-
ance and brutality ever Witnessed
The county attorney of Calhoun
county ordered the constable Tor
break into the car. aud the Call
houn county people should DO
ashamed for having such officers.
The Sinner people had the car
chartered and had perfect right
to say who should ride in the car
and who should not. Out-riders
had no more right to forcibly enter
the car than they would have to-
enter mans private residences.
The Calhoun county attorney and
the deputy sheriff evidently were
not used to the society Of ladies, az,
the latter showed them no respect
whatever. but burst in among them
cursing and threatening like aia
untamed savage. Mr.. Youngs is u
brave and chivalrous gentleman
and believed the ladies and chill
dren in the car were in danger
when the man, O'Neil entered AIS
he did. He had ~ perfect right to-
have a pistol for two reasons.
First. Every traveller is allowed to-
carry pistol while travelling.
Second. The car had been leased
by the Sinner crowd for the day
and it was for the time being their
own private property. Every man
is allowed to have weapons in his
house or other place Of residence
for the time being. The Port La
vaca people should be Il litlle more
careful how they treat visitors To
their town as it will be a long time
before the Sinner people will go
there again to spend their money"

paper had better copy.

THAT PORT
LAVACA AFFAIR.

We noticed the following in a
recent number of the Victoria
Daily Times:
"a gentleman from Yoakum
entered the special Sinner car at
tached to the excursion train at
Port Lavaca Sunday and was
knocked down, which resulted in a
general row. The train was about
to leave the Port, and as Constable
Jim O'Nei attempted to enter the
car to stop the row u Shinerite
slammed the door in his face and
locked it. O'Neil, determined not
to be frustrated, got some friends
standing near to push him mp and
be entered the car through a win
dow with si&shooter in hand. AS
he entered young man loaded
with the oil of joy jerked his
gum but it was promptly taken
from him and he was placed under
arrest. County Attorney Wilson
followed Constable O'Neil through
the window and the Sinner bad
man was made to give security for
his appearance before the Calhoun
county courts before he was re-
leased"
The greater part of the above ac-
count is a lie pure and simple.
The door wasn't slammed in
