spanish Law Prevents Removal of
Maine Victims Bodies.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February %.
The friends of the victims of the
Maine disaster have discovered that
they can not have their bodies brought
to this country in cases where they
have already been inferred. This is
due to the fact that the Spanish laws
forbid the exhumation of corpses un-
til the expiration of the period of five
years after burial.
The prohibition had its origin in the
fear of infection of contagious disease.
Some applications have already been
made to have bodies brought to the
United States by private individuals,
and they have encountered this OBJ
stacle. Whether an effort will be
made to have it removedis not yet ap-
parent.

The Fair Ground Question.

On the 18th of February the old Fair
grounds We're sold at public auction,
and Mr.. Charles Blattner purchased
the same for the sum of Sl200. 90
This sale was ordered by the Direct
ors of the Fair Association and exc
cuted by committee authorized by
the latter.
Long before the auction took place
several of the stockholders protested
against the proceeding of the Direct
Ors as, acc ording to the constitution,
they are not empowered to dispose of
the grounds without the consent OF q
majority OF the stockholders. Busi.
ness transactions of this kind must be
submitted to a vote of all bondholders
and a majority of these only can
authorize the Directors, or 4 special
committee, to sell the property. Time
and place of such vote must be publish
ed in due time.
The citizen who subscribed literally
/ to aid the Association in moving the
Fair, withdrew their subscriptions
when they learned that the opinion of
the stockholders had no: been asccr-
tained by Il vote as the constitution
prescribes.
Another reason why subscriptions
were anuuilcd is the unequal value of
the new and old shares The former
would he valued at % dollars while
the old shares can be bought for , or
} dollars. The only way to restore
the confidence of the public would he
to sell the Fair grounds. and other
property of the old Association. so
that each shareholder can receive his
pro rata part of the proceeds, and es-
tabllSh a new company. \ sufficient
sum Is guaranteed to organize a new
Association, and the sale of the old
grounds will doubtless bring double
the amount of money that has been
offered before. 1t will certainly be to
the interest of the stockholders to vote
for the sale of the grounds.

amiable in disposition. and soft as
summer to those that he loved. With
pride. shortly before his death. he re-
ferred to the fact that during a mar
ried life of over fifty wears. he had
never exchanged a harsh or unkind
word with the cherished and loved
companion of his youth and OLD age.
He could not tolerate shams and
frauds or dishonesty. and ne never
failed, at all proper times to express
his opinion. as to any dishonesty or
dishonest action that came under his
observation. He WAS not Il tlrent talk;

quircd it, pointed. sarcastic ard fear

from jealousy. free from envy. fre"
from that gTHspiHg ,liepositioi. that
appropriatcs the world in anticipation.
He was not free from prejudice. deep
seated and firm. when once prejudice
found q lodgment in his mind. But
he was slow to take otfense. and ready
to forgive when he saw that no otfcnse
was intended. He was firm and
loyal friend. He always took = deep
interest in public ana political af-
fairs. and although ready to serve,
never asked for or schemcd to sccGrc
office aud position. His leisure was
ever occupied in reading, and he was
I; deep student of politics. He loved
agriculture. He was active on the
farm and in his garden and around
his home as long Is fragile nature al
lowed him to be active. During his
last and long illness he was cheerful
