and is Now in Jail.

The Lancaster postmaster, Horace NJ
Nash, VINO was surrendered by his
bondsmen on Tuesday, was yesterday

ing. Mr.. Nash was in a nervous state,
and waived an examination.
Chairman Of selectmen A. w. Kill
bourne and Miss l.. A. Lyman of Ian
caster came to this city and were in
attendance at the hearing. but were not
called upon to testify. Mr.. Kilbourne
was one of the bondsmen and Miss Ly-
man was assistant to Postmaster Nash

Postmaster Nash collapsed, and medical
assistance had to be summoned. He was
held in $4,000 bonds and in default of
ball was committed to the county Jail to
await trial.
Postmaster Nash was town clerk and
member of the board of health of Ian
caster and his arrest makes vacant
those offices and it will be necessary to
call a special town meeting to fill the
vacancy. He was represented at the
hearing by Edward A. Connors of Gin
ton. The recent discovery of his short

where he was held in esteem His total

TOWN OFFICIALS.
MiIlbury Selectmen Organ
ize and Make Appointments,

Alillbury, March 29.-Dr. Rober
Booth, Arthur H. Bachelor and viii.
liam E. Horne, the newly elected board
Of ssleotmen, met in the selectmen's
rooms, this evening, and organized
with DR., Robert Booth chairman and
Arthur Fl. Bachelor clerk.
The matter of road commissioner
which has been giving the townspeople
so much trouble, was decided this eve
ming in favor Of Henry w. Carter. n
supporter of the citizens movement.
The other applicants were Chief Of
Police Thomas A. Dolan and Andrew
Harris. This year, as the readers of
The Spy are aware, the republican
party was defeated badly, and the re-
suit was that there was one democrat
and two candidates on the citizens
ticket elected for selectmen.
The facts In the case are these: The
election of two candidates on the citi-
zeps ticket was a true sign of the
appointment of H. w. Carter as road
commissioner, as he was q strong sup
porter Of the citizens movement.
Or. Robert Booth Is a democrat and
accordingly worked for his party and
favored the appointment of Thomas A.
Dolan.
Ths other business transacted was
the appointment of measurers Of wood,
fire warden and weigher and sealer of
weights and measures. The meeting
adjourned soon after l o'clock.
Thomas A. Dolan has served the
town in the capacity of street com
missioner and chief of police the past
few years and it can be said of HIM
that he did more with less money than
any other road commissioner since the
organization Of the town.
The next regular meeting will be held
April II. The meeting this evening
was special one and called for the
purpose Of organization and appoint
ment Of a road commissioner,

thought there was any disposition on
the part of the labor organizations of
this city to give UP their fight against
the manufacturers, such opinion would
be changed by visit to labor head
quarters today.
The strikers, lasters', cutters, treers'
and dressers' unions held meetings
this afternoon and all voted to con-
tinue the fight to the end. The strik-
ers appear to be determined and
generally think they will win. Money
still continues to come into labor head
quarters, but there is not too much of
this necessary munition Of war COM

TRUSTEES FOR HOSPITAL
HEALTH BOARD APPROVES THE
CABINET RESOLUTION.
Country Institutions to Have Local
Management - scheme for Water
Works at Lahaina.

At yesterdays meeting Of the Board
of Health the resolution of the EXeCu-
tive Council, turning over the hospitals
outside of Honolulu, each to a board of
three trustees, was formally approved.
After the change is made the status of
country institutions will be precisely
the same as that of the Queens Hosp-
tai, save that they will be practically
supported by the Board of Health as
here tofore.
The first hospital to pass into the
hands of trustees will be the one at Hi
10. Before the next mail the three
men to serve on the board will be Sc
lected and their commissions will go
forward. After that the hospital at
Waikiki and the one on Kauai will be
attended to. The only advantage eX-
pected from the change is that of sys-
tematizing the business of the hospi
tails. There may in time, also be a saw
ing of money.
President Cooper reported to the
board yesterday on the project to sup
ply water to Lahaina. There was not
an appropriation for water works there,
so the Government could not take up
the matter; but two private parties had
offered to put in the system, provided
that when the Government came to
take over the property it should settle
on basis of their appraisement. Engi-
neer Taylor has been dispatched to La
haina to look over the ground and make
estimates.
DR.. Emerson presented and read a
communication by himself urging the
necessity of a morgue. This matter has
been discussed before. The police sur
geon pointed out that the need for a
, thoroughly equipped morgue was be-
coming more apparent every day. These
views were concurred in by the board
| but no action was taken with regard to
! the matter

FUSION IN IOWA.
Democrats and Populists Adopt Anti
Imperialist Resolutions.


DIES MONIES, Iowa, August 16.-The
Democratic and Populist conventions
here have united on fusion state tick
ct headed by Frederick f. White of
Keokuk for governor. The resolutions
adopted indorse the Chicago platform.
On the war and expansion question the
platform says
We rejoice in the exalted sentiment
and motive that prompted the Govern
ment of the United States to take up
arms in defense of the bitterly oppress-
ed people of Cuba, in the successful ter
mination of the war with Spain, and i'm
the patriotism and unsurpassed bravery
displayed by soldiers and sailors on
land and sea. The war for the liberia
ton of the Cubans is now worthy of the
greatest republic and most civilized ma
ton that hourshed in tides of time, but
for the same reason that we glory in
| the successful war against Spain, we de-
precate the continued war against the
FilipinoS. One war was for the enamel
patton of the people. The other was for
the subiugation of the people. and if the
war against Spain was right, and it
was, that against the natives of the
Philippines, who have committed no Of
lenses save love of liberty and to be
willing to fight and die for it, is wrong
The war authorized by Congress to con-
quer the natives of the Philippine ISL
ands is a reputation of the American
doctrine of consent affirmed in the Dec
laratiOn of Independence and in conflict
with the principles which George Wash
ington and his fellow patriots of the
Revolution made sacrifices to establish.
