SALARY BILLS
INTRODUCED.
Columbus Legislators Have
Some Bills to Offer.
REDUCE OFFICIALS SALARIES
Will Probably Meet With Opposition as Its
Provisions Do Not Suit the on
cials in the Counties
Affected.

Columbus, Jan. 1.-two county sal
ary bills, somewh-t contradictory in
their provisions, were introduced in the
house yesterday.
Representative Gear, Of Wyandot,
prepared and introduced a bill for the
maintenance of county offices on a sal
ary basis. The bill is general in it's
application and reduces the emoluments
of county officers to a small fraction
system. Exceptions to the general pro-
visions of the bill are the officers of the
infirmary directors, coroners and coun-
ty surveyors. A commission of four

to be regulated by the legislature ac-
cording to an average struck for a per-

as fixed by the commission appointed
by the common pleas judges shall ever

FOUND A BODY
IN THE CELLAR.
Remains OF an Infant Discover
ed In a Cigar Box.
THE CORONER INVESTIGATING
A Ease That Was Brought to His Attention
BY Parties Living In a Residence
In the Southeast Eud
of the City.

The attention of Coroner Schuffell
was called to a residence at 536 Charles
street, Tuesday morning, by the report
that a body of an infant had been found
buried in a cigar box in the cellar of the
residence. 1t appears that a family
moved into the place a few days ago
and they discovered newly thrown up
earth on the cellar floor, and on max
ing an investigation, they made the dis
covery, and reported the same to the
health officer who in turn notified the
coroner. The body had decayed and
only a few ribs and the frontal bones
of the head were in the box. 1t appears
that the house has been unoccupied for
a long time, and the authorities are
unable to secure any information lead
ing to an identification of the parties
who may be guilty of the deed. The
coroner will be called upon to take
charge of the remains, as the health
officers declare that it is not their duty
to investigate such cases, or dispose Of
the body. The babe could not have
lived more than a day or two If it was
alive at all when born.

New York. Jan. 16.-Twelve young
doctors comprising the entire residence
staff of the city hospital on Blackwell
island are charged with having Lung
up the corpse of an old man, a pauper,
in the small hours of Sunday morning
and with executing a war dance about
it. The orgie, it is alleged, was held in
the hospital ward for the purpose of
emphasizing the dislike of the young
NJ. DIS to doctor George d. Stewart,
the superintendent of the hospital. A
card bearing the words George Taylor
Stewart" was tied about the neck of
the figure. While the men in the bath
robes were dancing about it, DR..
Stewart appeared on the scene. He
ordered them to their rooms and noti-
fled President Keller, of the department
of charities. Yesterday Mr.. Keller went
over to the hospital and summarily
fired" all who took part in the prank.
The young doctors denied that corpse
was used for the purpose. They admit
the prank but say that an effigy was
used.

WERE MAKING A POOL
But the Representative of an Eastern
Syndicate Smashed II,
HOW THE. BIDDERS PERFORMED.
Lively Rivalry Sprung Up and the whole
AFFAIR Was Carried on Under the
RuIIngs OF Judge McCarty
short Time
Since.

The annual delinquent tax sale was
held at the county treasurers Office
Tuesday morning. Deputy Treasurer
Royal Snyder acted as crier nd perched
himself on the corner of the file box at
the south end of the room. There were
about twenty bidders on hand and con-
siderable rivalry developed when some
of the more tempting properties were
put up for sale. The sale this year
was conducted on very different lines
from heretofore. 1t has been the custom
at the sales before to read off the prop
erty and the first fellow who yelled IT,"
got it by paying the taxes. This was
found to be illegal and when a case
came into court last term Judge Nc
Carty knocked the tax title out and
prevented the collection of the penalty.
The law prescribes that when proper
ties are offered for taxes the descrip-
tion must be read and then bidders may
state what is the smallest part of the
property they will take and pay the
taxes. The auditor and treasurer de-
Cided that they would stick to the law
bids must be made that way.
When the buyers arrived Tuesday
morning they tried to get together and
pool issues so that no man would bid
on less than the whole property A. w.
Agler appeared for a New York syn
dicate and he was approached and ask
ed to go into the combination.
The attorney, however, refused to
unite in any deal or combination and
it smashed the pool Every fellow then
went on his own responsibility and
Agler got a big bunch of the proper
ties. The bids all started by some
buyer yelling whole" If there were
no others the sale was made to him.
AS a general thing, however, some other
bidder would cry out, half" another
perhaps would chime in with quar-
ter" and the bids ran up on to the
twenty third part of some properties.
The sale turned out very satisfac-
torily to the officials and the buyers
will be able to enforce the collection of
their claims better this year than for
merly.

CATHOLICS TO UNITE
Movement Begun for Federation o.
All Societies In United States.
Object Is to Obtain Certain Political
Rights OF Which, in Their Es-
timation, They Are Now
Deprived.

With view to political action, q
project that has for its object the fed.
GRAFTON of all the societies in the
United States composed of Roman
Catholic laymen is being discussed in
Catholic circles throughout the coun-
try. Some influential clergymen and
laymen are interested.
By the plan all Catholic societies
are to become affiliated, although each
separate organization is to retain Its
individuality. The idea is to have
all the members of the societies sub.
ject to central direction, so that
they may all work together, whenever
necessary for any special purpose.
1t is argued that Roman Catholics
in this country are unfairly treated in
some respects. The projectors of this
union hold that Catholic voters should
be able to right whatever wrongs are
now declared to exist.
Because OF the possibility OF the
projected federation getting into pol
tiles the idea is opposed in some quar-
tiers. The advocates of the plan deny
that it would have anything to do di-
rectly with politics. 1t is confidently
predicted that the great union will be
formed and that it will comprise
Catholic societies of all nationalities
Bishop McFaul, of Trenton, N. j..
is warm supporter of the project
He has prepared an address on The
Influence of Catholic Societies" that is
being circulated extensively in sup
port of the federation idea. The bish
OPP says in his address:
eve are American citizens, entitled t.
certain rights and these we must possess
| Bigotry should not be allowed to deprive
us of the exercise and enjoyment of an!
| of them. We ask no favors. we beg for NJ
| privileges, but we insist that our religion
| shall not be made an obstacle to the at
| tainment of our constitutional rights.
I'VE are 100000 in America, yet hop
| small Is our influence. What representa-
| ton have we in state and national affairs
| when we measure it with the proportion
| we bear to the whole population of tn
| country? For generations we have beef
| casting our votes for our fellow citizens
| never asking what mans religion was
| and, as a rule. simply requiring that h

| not been with this impartiality that w
| have been treated. If a Catholic presume
to stand for any political Office. that SANE
individual who has enjoyed the benefit o

"All honor to the Protestants for thu

maxim: Eternal vigilance is the price o

1--WE are so accustomed to suffering tina

| only a feeble cry when 1T has become UNI

who belong to societies, indeed all Catho'
lies should endeavor to correct the con-
dition of torpor into which we have
fallen"
