TWO BRUTES BEAT THE ANIMAL
AND DROVE 1T NEARLY
TO DEATH. IA
COUNTY ATTORNEY ISSUES
. COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM.
Their Deed Aroused Indignation Of All
Who Saw the Horses Condition
Other Cases.

Another case of extreme cruelty to ami
malsi was reported to the county attor-
ney today. with the result that a COM
plaint charging James Sullivan and
Jerry Sullivan with the offence, was
issued n filed in Justice Nichols court.
The accomplishments We're Dixon & Lou
.beinstine, proprietors of a livery stable
on South Main street. 1t is alleged that
about IL o'clock yesterday the defend
ants hired a horse and buggy at the
stable and in two hours returned with
the animal more dead than alive, it hav-
ing been beaten and driven to the verge
of death by the wv men. Several per-
sons at the barn saw the men coming
and We're on the spot with blood in their
eyes when the rig was halted at the
barn. They wanted one of the proprie-
tors of the stable to take a club and beat
the two men to death, and offered to as
sist him in h job, but the proprietor
decided to have the precious pair ar
rested. A veterinary surgeon was called
in to attend the animal. He found that
it's spine had been injured from the
effects of the blows administered and
that in addition to his brand of cruelty
the horse was almost dead from the hard
drive to which it had been subjected.
The steel socket whip had been broken
near the butt. showing that the heavy
end of the whip had been used in pound
ing the animal. This morning the horse
IA still alive. but its prospects for re-
covery were slim. 1t was valued at $3.50.
1t is reported that the two worthless
applied to Charles Langlois for a horse
prior to going to the Main street barn,
but Mr.. Langlois declined to let them
have one, because he knew them to be
maltreaters of horses. He even refused,
it is said. to sell them one.
1t is just possible that some other liv-
eryman had a kick coming on the same
score last night. Shortly before dark a
person in male attire, accompanied by
a woman came into the southern part
of the city in a buggy, with the horse at
tached thereto on a dead run He was
w%hooping n yelling like a demon.
Other persons driving ~peaceably along
the highway were compelled to seek
safety in a quick side movement in order
to escape being driven into by the brute.

WOOD REMOVES OFFICIAL.
Good Of the Public Service Is Given
as Reason for the Change.

Havana. January 12-"Edcrico Mora,
fiscal of the supreme court. is hereby re-
moved from office for the good Of the
public service. This removal IS the re-
suit Of an investigation into the condition
existing I'm the administration of justice
under his supervision
The foregoing official order was handed
to Senior Mora this morning by Governor
General Wood Senor Moras fall has
been predicted ever since the first case
was brought against the custom house
officials. and the dissracefu. condition OF
the prisoners. especially as affecting those
awaiting trial has been generally charged
against him For some time It has been
said that Mora has been devoting too
much attention to social affairs and too
little to his duties. General Woods in
vestigatlon has shown that the office OF
supreme fiscal IS largely responsible for
a number OF the untried cases and that
not on.y Mora, but others IN the depart
meut of justice have been pcrsistcntly
irving TO block the cIrge against Gus
toms officials whom Collector Bliss IS
anxious to prove guilty OF wholesale
bribery and corruption.
Every possible influence has been ex-
crted 10 protect the iucrfmiuated men
from receiving the punishment which IS
their due: but the public has scarcely
been willing 20 believe that high officials
of the rank OF Mora have been implicated
Mora's letter to the supreme court re-
gardina the custom house fraud cases
under trial, which has already been
cabled, was only the last straw. His dis
rnissal had been decided upon some days
before
Senior Fstevez, secretary OF Justice, had
a long consultation with the governor
general before hual action was taken.
Both agreed that the letter published
without the authority OF the members OF
the Government, of which he was a part
was published through Il real desire to
thwart Justice. although there was a su-
perfcial attempt to make it appear that
The civil authority was being overturned
by the military.
The only paper which comments upon
the removal Is The Discussion, which evil
IDENTIFY received the news just before go
ing to press this evening. Its only remark
IS a protest. As the order was not issued
Ia The press, The Discussion, which is
Mora's moutupiece, must nave received

HOW HEPBURN's BILL READS
After the Committee Made Several
Changes.

Washington. January Io-The house
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce today ordered favorable re-
port upon the Hepburn bill for the con-
structiOn Of the Nicaragua canal. The
bill is practically the same one reported
by this committee In the last congress.
There was some discussion about the
advisabilty of delaying action on the bill
until the isthmiln canal commission re-
ported. but this was finally regarded as
unnecessary ana all the members except
Mr.. Fletcher, Of Minnesota, voted TO re-
mort the bill favorably. The latter said
his silence should not be construed as
opposition TO the measure. but merely
as a reservation of his right to support
or oppose it after further consideration
The committee made some changes I'm the
original bill. inserting new section three
and making verbal alterations. As finally
agreed To the bill IS follows:
10 provide for the construction OF a
canal connecting the waters of the At
lantic and Pacific oceans:
