Democrat

The county commissioners and in
flrmary directors held meeting today in
the co umissioners office and counseled
with Prosecuting Attorney Pomerene.
The latter was called in to determine
which Of the two boards was authorized
by law to construct we'll at the inflrm-
ary. The prosecutor decided that the
commissioners should let the contract
For some time. past there has been an
insufficient water supply at the infrm-
ary. The mains were so small that the
usual pressure of the city water failed to
furnish water at the Institution. Some
days there has not been enough water to
properly flush the closets, to say nothing
of the danger in case Of a conflagration.
The county commissioners have been
in consultation with the inflrmary board
and bids for drilling a we'll will at once
be advertised for 1t is proposed to put
down an eight-inch we'll and purchase a
pump, and this is expected to produce a
capacity of 4,3O0 gallons Of water an
hour. This is, a considerable quantity,
more than needed now, but it is proposed
to provide for the future. 1t is expected
the improvement will cost $500.

ing chase had caught up, Charters had
Dutch Frank down and was sitting on
him. The prisoner was taken back to
Jail without trouble.
MIR. Charters was warmly congratula-
ted on the part he took in the capture Of
this desperate criminal. Nor did he take
long chances without knowing what he
was doing. He had seen Dutch Frank at
the court house during the trial Of the
case against him and knew him to be a
desperate character. At first Charters
thought he had revolver, but finding he
had not he tackled him.
Charters wore at the time of the occur
renee new suit of clothes. The suit had
just been made for him on order of Hon.
John @. Welty. Charters had stopped a
runaway horse for Mr.. Welty and In so
doing had damaged a good suit. The
trousers of the new suit were torn in the
scuflle with Dutch Frank, but Sheriff
Zaiser will doubtless be glad to make the
outfit complete again.

CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti, June 6.-The
United States troopship Resolute, form
erly the Yorktown, under convoy of the
torpedoboat destroyer Mayflower, the
converted Ogden Goelet yacht of the
same name, arrived at Mole st. Nicolas
Saturday and departed shortly after.
Advices from Mole st. Nicolas say
that Saturday some distance off Jean
Rabel. seaport on the northwest coast
of Haiti, half way between Port de Paix
and Mole st. Nicolas, combat took
place between three Spanish and four
American warships.
The American ships are said to have
withdrawn from the combat.
One of the Spanish warships entered
the harbor of Jean Rabel for water
The officers of ships lying at Mole St.
Nicolas were extremely reticent.
Jean Rabel is an insignificant seaport
there. 1t is thought possible that the
Spanish ships encountered were the
vanguard of the Cadiz fleet.
The names of the American ships are
not ascertained, but it is believed here
that they were probably scouts.
PORT AU PRINCE, June 6.---According
to advices from Santiago de Cuba there
were not more than II ships in the Of
fing all day Sunday, and it is believed
there that the three missing vessels
have gone for provisions and munitions
of war.
Sunday afternoon the Haitien steamer
Nouvelle Voldregue arrived here from
Cape Haitien. after touching at all the
ports along the coast. She reports that
Sunday, at Mole st. Nicolas, she saw
the United States troop ship Resolute
awaiting instructions. The vessel was
under convoy. 1t was ascertained from
passengers of the Nouvelle Voldregue
that the Resolute had been pursued be.
tween Jean Ravel and Mole st. Nicolas
by two Spanish corvettes, but had man.
aged to escape them.
KINGSTON. Jamaica, June Ga dis.
patch from Port Antonio says:
"a vessel that has arrived here from
Santiago de Cuba reports that the
Americans sunk ON Friday night the
Spanish torpedoboat destroyer Terror"
The assumption, based upon dis.
patches from Madrid, has been that the
destroyer Terror, after leaving Fort de
France, went to Porto Rico waters, and
it is probable that the Port Antonio dis
patch confuses her with her sister de-
stroyer, the Furor, as has several times
been the case in dispatches from other
points.
ST. PIERRE, Martinique, June c.
The British steamer Twickenham, hav-
ing remained at Fort de France several
weeks without getting permission to
land her cargo of 1000 tons of coal con.
signed to the Spanish consul, will leave
for Jamaica.
There are numerous reports that q
feet was seen off the northwest of the
island Saturday, and it may be that the
Twickenham will go to coal the ships.

WOUNDED WARRIORS.
The Hospital Ship Solace In New York
Port with Some Sufferers-The
Voyage a Benefit.

NEW YORK, June 6.-The ambulance
ship Solace came into port Sunday, hav.
ing ON board 54 wounded and sick, some
of whom had been transferred from the
American warships in Cuban waters
and others taken from the hospitals at
Key West.
Her after deck had been tented off
with canvas, and in swinging ham.

score or more of the poor fellows who
had not given up the fight without a
struggle, while the privilege of the
decks had been accorded all those who
were able to move about or anxious to
watch the green hills as the good ship
moved in shoreward. The Solace an.
chored at Tompkinsville, S. 1.
She left Key West ON Wednesday
afternoon last and made the run to
urday night, when gale tumbled her
about bit and made things to some ex-

carried. But the Gea voyage was a

He worked his plans so cleverly that his

Dutch Frank got out by saving and

of the jail. While Turnkey Charles

recognized. Frank realized that he was

he could. He went up Court and turned
west on Fourth street, covering ground
faster than his followers. At Clevel aud

WAR REVENUE BILL.
aDw That II IL Through the Senate II
win Likely BE Hurried In
the Honac.

WAsHINGToS, June 8.-The war reve.
nue. bill as it passed the senate Satur-
day, when IT is presented to the house
is desired by Chairman Dingley and the
majority members of the ways and
means committee to be sent to confer.
ence at once and not delay 1t by debate.
In accord with this desire the commit
tee on rules probably will report imme-
diately rule identical with or generally
Dingley introduced last week to provide
for motion to disagree to the senate
amendments and request conference.
This motion likely will prevail without
debate and conferrees will likely be
uamed
AT present there is an understanding
that the Hawaiian resolutions provid-
ing for annexation are to be considered
in the house before session adjourn
ment. Just when and how the consid-
Grafton shall proceed has not been de-
termined. A large element wants 1t to
come Immediately after the revenue bill
is sent to conference, and are anxious to
have the matter disposed of pending the
report Of the revenue bill from confer
ence. Another element believes an.
nexation should wait until after the
revenue bill has passed so as to avoid all
possibility OF complicating the situa-
ton.
The most notable amendment made
to the measure was that offered by Mr..
Tillman, Democrat, South Carolina,
placing duty of 10 cents pound on
all tea imported into the United States.
The amendment created no debate and
was adopted by vote of 3S to 80. 1t is
calculated by the senate experts that
the duty, il it be finally enacted into
law, will raise at least Sl0,000.000 a
year, and probably more.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Chill
ton (Dem., Texas.), member of the
finance committee, provides for a tax
graduated according to price upon all
articles sold under a patent right, trade
mark or name not open to general use
and which are not otherwise taxed by
the bill.
Through an amendment offered by
Mr.. Lindsay Dem, Ky.), the senate
decided not to place stamp tax upon
bundles of newspapers, wholly or partly
printed, which weigh less than 100
pounds.
a tax of cents barrel was placed
on adulterated flour and stamp tax of
cent on every ticket emitting the
holder to seat in palace or parlor Car
or berth in a sleeping car, the company
selling the seat or berth being required
to affix the stamp.

Rheumatism is most painful disease,
and medical authorities agree IL is
caused by acidity Of the blood.
Hoods Ssrsaparilla has wonderful
success in curing rheumatism because
Il neutralizes the acid. Read this:
