ing of Them.
one Of the least pleasant incidents
tor the individual during the war with
Spain would be to be taken prisoner.
sim, rs Spain makes claim to ciyliza.
Jon, it would not be SO bad rs though
she were an absolutely savage or even
4 barbarouS country. The usages OF
civilized nations regarding captiyes
conform in a general way to these prin-
.iplrS and rules.
All members Of an enemy nation are
enemies, though all are not treated
Hike. The general rule obtains that
no use of force againt an enemy Is
awful unless it is necessary to accom-
plish the purposes of war" and the
practical application of it, refined
through centuries, has led to exempt.
,ng many classes from capture.
The custom OF nations eXempts from
capture the persons of the sovereign
and his family. officers of the civil gov
eminent, women and children. farmers.
mechanics, artisans, laborers, men OF
science and letters, and generally all
those engaged in ordinary civil pur-
suits, unless actually taken in arms.
Count Bismarck even maintained In
1870 that the crews of merchant YES
sells could not be made prisoners.
The Geneva or Red Cross convention
exempted hospital and ambulance at
PENDANTS and chaplains attached to hos.
pitfalls and ambuances from capture as
prisoners.
BY early custom soldiers, when TAX
Ell in war, were killed. They may be
killed to-day in case Of absolute neces-
sity-for example, if prisoners impede
the movements of an army necessary
to its preservation.
Later, captiyes were made slaves
After that the custom Of holding them
Tor ransom came into vogue.
During the seventeenth century 6x.
changes of prisoners became frequent.
but exchanging prisoners is not obllga-
tory if the captors prefer to hold for
ransom or TO leave their own com
rades in the enemy's hands.
Prisoners are frequently allowed to
return to their own country on promise
not to engage again in hoStilties
against the captorS.
Perhaps the world will some day ac-
knowledge the nobility of the spy. but
/ is doubtful if contending forces will
ever cease to hang or shoot him when
le Is taken and convicted.

PIacers Near Nelson.

Last week a report gained currency
around Nelson to the effect that rich
strike of placer gold had been made on
Rover creek, which flows into the Koo-
tenay river near SLOGAN Junction, about
Is miles from the city. Several parties
went out to Investigate and returned
with reports of rich finds. The Spokes-
man-Review correspondent visited the
scene of operations yesterday and found
the creek alive with prospectors and the
ground staked for fully four miles up
There are over 200 locations of 100 feet
square already made. The Discovery
claim was located on the west fork OF
Rover creek August % by Martin An
derson, George w. Madden and Wash. I.
Miller, three prospectors who had been
over the ground dozens of times before
While going along the river bed they
found small nugget. They began to
pan and succeeded at a depth OF two
feet in getting values to the extent OF 81
per pan. On almost every claim located
good colors have been found.
Is All as Was Represented.
X. j. Mclean, the well known Florence

Boise county has many large tracts Of
placer ground we'll suited to be worked
by dredges. Much of it is known to be
good, but cannot be worked except by
considerable capital, as either long and
expensive bedrock fumes or dredges must
be used. Dredges are now in favor
among capitalists, and there is no doubt
but that many of them will be put in be-
fore the close of another year besides
those already decided on.

SENTENCE OF MARSH.
Former President of Keystone Bank
Gets Twelve Years,

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-GideOn w.
Marsh, former president of the wrecked
Keystone National bank was today
sentenced to an Imprisonment of twelve
years and three months and to pay
a fine of $500.
The keystone bank failed in March,
1891, and President Marsh and Cashier
Lawrence were placed under arrest,
charged with conspiracy in making
false entries in the books and issuing
false reports to the comptroller o. the
currency. The cashier stood trial and
was convicted and imprisoned. but
Marsh disappeared and his bail of
$4,000 was forfeited. After wandering
over the world for seven and half
years the fugitive president returned
on November 3 last, and surrenderel
to the authorities. He pleaded guilty
when arraigned for trial.
1t was thought probable that Marsh
might when brought up for sentCrce
make a statement duplicating others
in the wrecking of the bank, but nc
merely informed the court that his
predecessor in the presidency Cf The
bank had left a defalcation of over a
million dollars and that he (Marsh)
had never profited dollar through the
banks losses. He broke down on MAX
ing this statement and was unable to
proceed further. He trembled pe"'
ceptibly when sentence was pronounced
and the expression on his face toll that
he had expected much lighter punish

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 13.--Nine men
were killed and three injured near
Winspeare bridge near Corfu on the
New York Central railroad toda.. They
were all Poles with the exception of
John Warner, their foreman, who is
among the killed. The men were en-
gagged in shoveing snow, of which
there were numerous drifts on the line.
All were frightfuly mutilated. The
men stepped from one track to avoid
an approaching train right in front Of
a fast express train running in the
same direction as the first. and were
literally ground to pieces.
Engineer Smith, of the express, in
an interview, said: II could see moth
ing ahead of me, but | thought the
place looked bad and blew my whistle
| had let up on the whistle when
heard my fireman give yell. He did
not call for brakes. but l slapped on
the air the minute | heard him. He
had seen a man beside the track
