This movement Of the disconnected
Spaniards in cuba may or may not
have any connection with the revolu-
ton which is approaching in Spain and
may break out at any minute Don
Carlos and his friends suddenly have
become very active. and Carlists gem
orally are reported as declaring their
intention to rise against the govern
ment and the Alfonsist dynasty within
a short time. The latest accounts from
the provinces where the Carlist cause
is strongest. indicate that the revolt is
ready To break out. and il is more than
possible that il win be FASTENED BY the
news from Cuba, where it is known
that the Spanish army is honeycombed
with CarliSm. Indeed Don Carlos has
been c0nspiring industriously to have
a declaration i'm his favor in Havana at
the same time he should raise his ban
ner at. home. That time may have
come. He intended to have it so on
the fan Of Sagasta. The government
of that statesman has been neither
popular nor successful and the mob
in Havana may have wrecked il along
with other autOnomist property.

RELIC OF A FLOOD.
Mail Pouch. Lost a Year Ago. Found
Covered with Mud.

A strange relic of the great flood OF
1897. reached the Postoffioe Department
from Danville, Ark, yesterday. IL is
a mail pouch covered two or three
inches deep with yellow river-mud and
had rested where the fierce tide swept
il in March, until a few days ago when
Postmaster F. ID. Bumgarner recover
ed il and forwarded il to Washington.
The clerks in the dead letter ,ffice
are now engaged in sorting the con-
tents of this undiscovered sack. Up
to date they have made out the fol-
lowing list of articles il contained:
Letters returned TO writer, $50; re-
ceipts =: church letter l: stamps. 10;
photos. ?: promissory notes. 5: money
orders. !: checks, 1; letters containing
cash. 9: money order advice. I: set of

Postmaster Burearner says. The
pouch was lost in month of March.
not through careiessness or carrier, but
owing to the swiftncss Of the water
which washed the river back and the
wagon and pouch into deep water. The
driver had to swim for his life. The
pouch was washed into the bed of the
creek and was not found until the
stream got very low

Of its recovery except the maker of

Although a foregone conclusion. the
formal election Of Marcus A. Hanna to
the Senate yesterday was matter of
unusual and national interest. Now
that the fight is over. and won by the
characteristic and peculiar methods
and tactics of the winner, il may be
confessed that any other result would
have been depressing to the leaders Of
Democracy throughout the country As
Il is. the American people will be able
20 see more clearly than ever before
that the Republican party is hope
lessly committed to political corrup-
ton, and always may be trusted to
stand by it. At one time there almost
appeared to be a chance that a Repub-
Iican revolt in Ohio, in the interests of
decency and good government, might
succeed. Such an outcome might have
created some popular opinion that good
could exist somewhere within the or
ganization. Thank goodness, nothing
OF the kind has happened. We are to
have our object lesson and horrible ex-
ample just as usual and continuously
for many years. There will be more
diamonds worn in Columbus than ever
before, and gold watches, heavy chains
and fur-lined topcoats viii be too COM
mon to mention. Then let us be joy
full Marcus has made his friends
happy, and il his supporters are not
SO there are just so many ingrates. BY
the way, for the benefit of our friend,
Senator Stewart. we desire to call at
tention TO the significant number Of
votes cast for Mr.. Hanna. The COIN
cidence makes his election another
"crime OF a.

One thing is certain. Mr.. Mckinley
now win be bereft OF his last excuse
for Withholding this Government from
positive action. The impotency OF
Spanish rule in Havana is clear
demonstration. Otherwise, the captain
general. with an army in garrison, and
surrounded by Notifications, would not
hermit an armed mob to take possession
of the city. If Mr.. Mckinley were
deaf. dumb. and dead it ought TO be
plain to him by this time that there
must be a change in the heartless and
cowardly policy Of the past. All doubt
that the Spaniards have not
lost Cuba completely and for
ever. must now be dissipated, and it
would be Infamous longer To withhold
from the Cubans the rights of bellig-
erency. They should be given them at
once. in order that they may go in and
finish the war and put an end to all
these sickening Spanish horrors.

LOVE OUTLINED LIFE.
Brother Kept Brothers Body to Save
IL From Potter's Field.

1t From ROtter's F1elu.
New York, Jan. 1S.-Henry Coxley
and his brother Franklin, took posses
sion of a dismal little suit of rooms in
the attic of No. ia Marcy avenue,
Brooklyn borough, two years ago.
Henry was a wheelwright, fifty-one
years old, slender and none too strong.
Franklin. the senior by five years, was
consumptiye emaclated, weak and
unable ever to work
They lived alone-the younger acting
by night. No one ever heard word of
complaint fall from Henry's lips, al
though the lines deepened in his face
and the overburdened shoulders stoop>
ed lower and lower.
Early this week tenants on the lower
floors of the Marcy Avenue house be-
gan to wonder how the sick man was
faring. He had not been seen in days,
neither had the sound of his restless
movements been heard in the poor
rooms.
Matters were in this shape yesterday
when tenants of the house noticed a
sickening odor By nightfall the annoy
ance had reached the unbearable stage,
and a determined effort was made to
discover the cause. Half a dozen ten
ants, headed by the landlord, traced
the odor TO the locked door of the at
tic. Knocks and calls eiicited no re-
Spouse and Landlord Palmer called in
the police, who broke In the door.
Everything in the comfortleSS little
fiat was in perfect order, and il was
not until the searching party entered
the front bedroom that the truth was
learned. There, seated near table,
with bowed head resting on his right
hand, the elbow on his knee, sat Frank.
lin Coxley-dead. The discolored face
told its story of advanced decomposi-
ton and explained the odor that mad
alarmed the house. That Coxley had
been dead for days no one could doubt,
yet there was the body seated as in
life and fully dressed.
While the police and frightened
tenants stood around the grew
some figure. wondering what il all
meant the brother walked in. He threw
one quick look around the room, start
ed forward fiercely as though to re-
sent the invasion of the wretched home,
then slowly turned his head and burst
| into tears Out came the pathetic
| story of a love that death could not
conquer.
Franklin CoXley died on Saturday
while the brothers were seated togeth-
er in the kitchen of their house. Henry
was penniless. The last coin had gone
| for medicine. and the younger brother
there alone with his dead, shuddered
at the thought of a nameless grave In
| Potter's field for the man he loved sc
devotedly SO he placed the body in
chair where TO prying eyes it would
seem alive and started out to borrow
money for grave and Christian bur-
| ial.
1t is probable that Henry CoXley
| devotion will be rewarded, ana that
| Potter's field will be cheated oy KIND
| ly charity of another victim.
Little is known of the history of
these two brothers beyond the fact that
they have been inseparable since the
death of their wives many years ago.

THE COLLlNS.HALE TROUBLE.
Defendants Make Answer to Van
Dyke -Collins-Van Dyke.

The defendants in the Collins Hale
Manufacturing company litigation, C.
r.. Spoerl, John Koshenbach and T.. e.
Hale, yesterday made answer to the
complaint of the plaintiffs, w. w. Van
Dyke, A. S. Collins and w. +. Van
Dyke.
They claim that Messrs. Koshenbach
and Spoerl were duly elected to sue
ceed w. w. and w. +. Van Dyke as
president and secretary treasurer re-
spectively, and that 1t is not true, as
allegeu, that at the directors meeting
on Jan. z the Van Dykes were agreed
upon for these offices but afterwards
expelled and Koshenbach and Spoerl
chosen in their stead. The Van Dykes
held these offices last year and re-
ceived $1,000 and $1,000 respectively for
their services. The new directorate
thought this an unnecessary expend-
iture and when Messrs. Koshenbach
and Spoerl agreed to do the work for
nothing they were given the offices.
They further say it is not true that
the new directorate intended increas-
ing the commissions for 1897 of Messrs.
Hale and Collins, the statesmen.
Accompanying the answer was a
formal petition for a modification of
the injunction so as to permit the
| treasurer to pay the running expenses
of the mandatory. Court granted the
petition,

TEARING DOWN THE WALLS.
WOrkmen Attack the Ruins of the Y.
NJ. G. A. Building.

Contractor Conrad Schroeder put q
force Of men at work yesterday tearing
dow n the walls that remained after the
Young Mems Christian association
building was destroyed by fire. BY
nightfall portions of walls that were in
any danger of falling had been taken
down. The big chimney was allowed
to stand. 1t was examined by Build
ing Inspector Nelson who found it in
almost perfect condition. The fire had
affected it very slightly.
Today the street commissioner can
begin to clear up the court in the rear
of the ruins and open it for travel. A
temporary sidewalk will at once be laid
on the Wyoming avenue front and a
five-foot fence erected to prevent per-
sons from falling into the cellar. 1t is
the intention 20 take down the wall
alongside the Powell building to the
first story to prevent the possibility of
injury to the Powell building in case
the wall should topple into the cellar
Building Inspector Nelson has decid-
ed that the German stable on the Stew
art property, facing Spruce street was
more than half destroyed by fire and
it will have to be torn down as the
building law provides that a frame
building within the fire limits which
is more than half destroyed by fire can
not be rebuilt. Just what kind of a
building Will be erected on the site
cannot be stated at this time. The
work of tearing down the remnant of
the stable Will probably begin today.

Leon Olchefski, against whom ver-
dict Of arson was returned by jury
on Sunday, has Jumped" his bail and
disappeared in the direction of Can
ada.
The district attorneys office has re-
ceived information, believed to be re-
liable, of the route taken by Olchefski
in his flight and it would not be sur
prising to hear of his speedy capture.
Olchefskis bondsman, Ignatz Pretz,
is liable for the $1,500 security he fur
nished. He owns house in the 1900
block on Stone avenue and three houses
on Remington avenue. Pretz has given
considerable aid to the authorities in
tracing Olchefski's movements since he
left the city.
AS soon as Olchefski learned of the
verdict against him Sunday afternoon,
he disappeared from his home on Rail-
road avenue without waiting to ar
range any matters of business. Dis
trict Attorney Jones and Bondsman
Pretz ascertained that Olchefski start
ed for Montreal with the intention of
engaging passage for Poland from
some northern point. kilograms giving
his description were sent to Canadian
ports and cities with instructions to ar
rest him and notify the district attor-
ney.
Mrs. Olchefski was about the court
house yesterday morning when Pret2
was seeking the aid of the authorities
and she tried to convince him that her
husband would be on hand before the
| day was over.
