HAGERSTOWN NEWS GRIS7
Two City Offices Filled by Mayor
Shindel.
Work to Begin Monday on Maryland
Monuments on the Antietam
Battlefield.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HAGERSTOWN. Md, May II, 1899.
The deadlock in the Hagerstown city coun-
Gil over Mayor Shindeis appointments con-
tinues, although two of the appointees, J.
Nipple a republican. as police justice, and
j. E. S. Pryor. democrat. as city surveyor
have been confirmed. Mr.. Pryor has held
the position under several administrations,
both republican and democrat-in fact, he
was first named for the pace by repub-
lican mayor, who found himself without
any other applicants for the place.
The work OF erecting on the Antietam
battlefield the memorial TO the Union and
confederate dead authorized by the last
Maryland legislature will begin on Monday
next. The design for the memorial is in the
form Of a pavilion, with a dome of bronze
surmounted by a bronze figure Of Peace.
1t will have eight granite pillars, repre-
senting the eight commands which took
part in the enga cement, the names of which
will be placed above the pillars. The Mary
land troops in this battle were the I'd, Sd
and 9TH Regiments of Infantry and the
Purnen Legion. Batteries H and of the
LIST Maryland Light Artillery and Broken
burgh's and Dement'S confederate batter
les. The site selected for the memorial is
al the old Thinker Church.
Miss Goldie Deshong daughter Of Baltzer

Hancock, fell from the high foot bridge
over Licking creek ana received injuries
that will prove fatal.
Judge Stake has granted a divorce to
Mrs. Margaret Hulda Johnson from her
husband. William l.. Johnson, on the
grounds of desertion- Johnson came here
from Rockville. where he was employed as
detective by the Law and Order League
of Montgomery county.
An ingenious swindle is being worked
with great success in this locality. A wo-
man goes from house to house leaving for
examination books, which are collected by
the next day. Later the woman ap-
pears weeping copiously and says that a
villain has been collecting her books all
over town. She pleads poverty and accepts
proffered compensation.
The Postal Telegraph Company. which
applied to the city council over a month ago
for a franchise to erect poles and string
wires within the corporate limits of Ha-
gerstown, has at last been granted the
same. 1t provides for a Sunday and a
midnight service-a compromise on the all
night service that the local press was max

WHIPPED THE PRISONERS
Major strong's Report Concerning the
Raleigh Prison.
OficiaIs Admitted That Five Men HAD
Been Punished-It is Con-
trary to Rule.

Mai. Strong, general agent of the Depart
ment of Justice, has returned TO the CITY
from Raleigh n. c., where he made an III
yestigation Of complaints by United states
prisoners as to their treatment taere he
has made a verbal report to Attorney Can
eral Griggs, and will later file written re-
port.
Attorney General Griggs said today that
he had not reached a conclusion in the
matter, and would not make public MS &C.
termination when reached. The publication
of the facts regarding the complaints OF
prisoners, 1t is said, leads to rebellion and
bad conduct in every prison in the country.
By a mysterious telegrapny, 1t is said at
the Department of Justice, every federal
prisoner in the United States nov knows or
the publication In The Star Of the COM
plants from North Carolina, and OF the
fact that there is a rule at the Gepartme mt
against permitting prison officials to whip
prisoners of the United States.
1t is said that the complaints of prisoners
are always investigated, and they are given
justice, but that they become iil-tempered
If they learn that prison authorities may
be reprimanded for what they have done
There is no doubt Maj. Strong found that
five prisoners had been whipped in the
Raleigh prison. This was admitted by the
officials. They cannot, however, be rrose-
cuted, as they have not violated any law.
The warden Of the Illinois parliamentary
was at the Department of Justice today.
h said that he had had thousands Of fed
eraI prisoners under him in the course of
years, but never whipped one. When these
prisoners refuse to work they are placed in
solitary confine ment on restricted diet.
This, the warden said, breaks their spirit
quicker than whipping, and they are only
too glad to be allowed to work. Solitary
confinement is a trying ordeal, the warden
said, and most prisoners prefer whipping.

NATTER OF LICENSE.
Appeal to Excise Board I'm Behalf of
BFightwood Hotel.

A committee of about twenty-five citizens,
said to be composed of representatives from
the Masonic order the Brightwood Avenue
Citizens Association and the brewers, called
today upon the excise board, together with
Mr.. TIL. Felter and his attorney, Mr.. VIII
ton J. Lambert, for the purpose of urging
upon the board the propriety of granting
bar room license to Mr.. Felter at the
Brightwood Hotel. Mr. Lambert, on behalf
of the petitioners stated that he under
stood the only objection that had been made
was that the hotel was located within 400
feet of a colored church upon the Shepherd
read. This, the attorney contended, was
not the case unless air line of measure
ment should be adopted, but assuming such
to be the case he stated that the place
in question had been built and established
as a restaurant prior to 1874, and from that
time until the present such business had
been continuously carried on. save for the
slight intermission caused by the death of
Mr.. Moses in 1894, and the present embar-
"a ssment due to the recent conviction OF
Mr.. Schlosser upon a technical violation
for which, he was glad to say. the President
had granted a pardon. The church in ques-
ton, it was alleged, was not built until
1890, and the law regulating the 400 feet
distance expressly excepted places of bust
ness located prior to March 3, 1893.
The board, through Mr.. Johnson, stated
that 1t had received the brief submitted
by Mr.. Lambert upon the issue involved
a few days ago and had requested the opin-
ion Of the attorney for the District upon
the matter This, however, had not been
received, as yet, and the board would be
glad to give a more extended hearing to all
interested as soon as the attorneys views
shall be received.
