men under him and the work was hus-
tied through to completion in short or
der. Col. Conlin, it will be remembered,
about three years ago, performed a Won
derful feat at the time of the spring
rains, when the track at the creek near
Stark siding was washed away for sew
eral hundred feet. 1t occurred during
the night when the darkness as we'll as
a fearful downpour of rain was to be
combatted. He rallied his forces and
by hard work bridged and filled the
abyss and had trains running over the
new road bed after only a few hours
delay. Col. Conlin was congratulated
by the officials of the company at that
time and was applauded by the press all
over the country for the work which was
thought to be almost impossible at the
time.
In the repairing of the road bed and
track Monday afternoon, Conlin GER
tainly knew what he was about, and he
was watched by many who were inter
ested in the work as we'll as amused by
his quick movements. The big engine,
No. 6S, which stood upright and within
two feet of the tower, was next placed
on the track. A difficult piece of work
on account Of it's immense weight was
made easy by the wreckers, who SEEM
ed to know Just what to DO and how
to do it.
The semaphores, which are still in
the position placed by the operator, are
set indicating that the Valley train was
entitled to the track, and will remain in
this position until the interlocklng plant
is repaired, which must needs be at
once.
Engineer Richey is one of the Oldest
and most reliable engineers on the Fort
Wayne road, is very careful and has
good judgment. 1t was impossible to
draw him out in conversation. He
seemed worried. Did he notice the SEM
aphore set for the Valley train, or was
he unable to stop the fast flying train by
the failure of the air brake? Those were
the questions that bothered the persons
who gathered at the railroad crossing
to see the wreck Monday afternoon.

TO C0NSTRUE A WILL.
Judge McCarty Heard Argu-
ments In an Important
Legal Matter.

Judge McCarty Wednesday morning
took up the case Of Catherine Grosen-
baugh's executor VS.. Lewis Grosen-
baugh and others. The suit was brought
by Edward Wagner, the executor, to
have the court construe the will of
Catherine Grosenbaugh, of Hartville
She had left her property to be divided
into six parts and one Of the shares was
willed to her daughter, Elizabeth
Grosenbaugh or heirs" After the will
was made Elizabeth Grosenbaugh died,
leaving no children but she did leave a
husband, NJ. NJ. McElroy, who is
now in the Ohio penitentiary. He
claims now that he is entitled to the
sixth part of the estate as the legal heir
of his wife. The other children of
Catherine Grosenbaugh claim that she
meant the share to go to them in case
Elizabeth had no children. The prop
erty in dispute is worth about $500. At
torney Wakeman, of Akron, represented
the executor in court and w. ]. Piero
appeared for McElroy. There was no
dispute as to the facts in the case and
no one but the executor was examined
as witness. The attorneys then ar
gued the matter to the court.
After listening to the argument Judge
McCarty decided that McElroy was not
entitled to any of the estate and or
dered the executor to pay the money out
to the other children Of the deceased.

are mistaken. 1t will be heard from In
November next in very certain tones.
Why is it that we as a people are con-
tinually confronted through our repre-
sentatives in congress by corporate
greed, as in the case of the shipping
subsidy? The Republican governor OF
Indiana, who knows how hard it is to
carry his state for his party under the
most favorable conditions, declares him
self as "uncompromisingly opposed" to
such legislation, stating that the bill
will not meet with the approval of the
people, and it should not.
There is so much needed legislation in
the interests Of the people as a whole,
which for reasons best known to them
selves, seems tied up among our more
or less distinguished congressman. At
tention is called to the report of the
joint congressional commission on
transportation of mails, which is now
soon to be issued, and may recommend a
reduction of 25 per cent in the rate of
pay allowed for the hauling of the mails
This report will show that a reduction
of 25 per cent in amount paid for mail
hauls would be a saving of $S,S95, ,00C
annually to the post office department
and that instead of a deficit of $3.50, ,776
as shown for the year ending June go
1898, surplus of $2,2S4,S33 would have
resulted.
Prof. Adams of the University of
Michigan, expert statistician to the
commission, has shown by one of his
tables that the average mail rate should
be less than three cents ton mile, in
place Of the present average rate of
over twelve cents a ton mile. From this
it is seen that the mail rate could be
reduced 25 per cent without loss to the
railroads, and leave surplus in the
postoffice department each year instead
of a deficit. If this amount were saved
to the post office department, such popu-
lar benefits as cheap domestic parcels
post, penny letter postage, and pneu-
matte tube service for all large cities
would come at once.
Such needed legislation as the above
and numerous other pressing matters
should occupy the attention of congress,
instead of the grabs and bills in the in
terests of trusts and combines which
now seem to take the entire attention
Of our representatives at Washington.
So long as politics is dominated and
controlled by monied interests, by Han
naism, and corrupt greed, so long shall
the will of the majority be subordinated
to the interests Of the few. Give us a
clean, strong, able man as our candidate
in November, and the Democratic party
will have no reason to regret it's return
to the principles Of Jefferson and the
interests of the masses.

FEARFUL LOSS
Sustained BY the British in At
tacking the Lines Near
BlOOmfentein.

[NewsD Democrat Leased Wire Service. ]
Pretoria, March 14.-President Kruger
has received from President Mckinley
a cablegram saying that the appeal of
the Boer republics for peace have been
promptly transmitted to England with
an earnest recommendation that it be
accepted.
Secretary Reitz in discussing the an
swer of the Marquis of Salisbury, said
that it was likely to produce results of
the most serious character.
Sharp fighting was reported from the
Boer camps near Bloemfontein yester-
day. The British attacked the lines
several times but were always repu
with fearful loss. From the mountains
near Ladysmith comes the report that
the. British had displayed great ac-
tivity in moving troops to the north.

THE ISSUES NOW DEFINED.
Empire or independence, Freemen, or
Serfs, is the Slogan
THAT STRENGTHENS BOERS

Thought That French and Roberts
Will Enter the Orange Free State
Today--Latest from the
Seat of War.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.l !
London, March 14.--News of the fall
of Bloemfontein is expected hourly
General French and the cavalry COM
manded the entrance to the town Mon
day night, and Roberts was to start
yesterday morning to finish up the
work of capture and occupation. AS
Venter Vlei is only two hours ride from
Bloemfontein, the main British force
should have reached town late yester-
day. 1t is not likely that the Beers will
seriously resist the British at Bloem-
fontein.
Opinion is divided as to whether Lord
Salisbury's reply to Kruger and Steyn,
made public Yesterday, insisting on sub
jugation, stiffens or weakens the Beers
resistance. Some say that the Beers
see now in all it's clearness the hope
lessnesses Of their struggles. On the
other hand, most diplomatists believe
that England's intentions were per-
fectly well known at Pretoria and
Bloemfontein but that the Beers peace
telegram was designed merely to draw
out public expression of these intentions
from the British government, so that
the whole world might see just what
the issue of the war was, viz, empire
or independence.
According to this view the Boer pres
idents will fight the war to a finish, con-
scious that their peace overtures and
Englands reply have strengthened
their cause, both abroad and among
their own people.

RETURN TO THE
PRINCIPLES OF JEFFERSON.

Canton, March 13, 1900.
Editor News-Democrat: To use the
words Of General Lew Wallace, as re-
ported in a recent interview, IF the
Democratic party would exhibit little
sense and put up some good man as a
presidential andidate-Richard Olney,
for instance-they would sweep the
country in November next" These
words coming from a delegate to the
Republican convention which nomina-
ted President Mckinley, are significant.
The want Of statesmen in President
McKinleys cabinet is disgrace to any
administration. The past and present
course of some Of the Presidents ad-
visers, is certainly improving the chan
ces for Democratic success in November
next, and for this reason, If for no other,
we can look with some complacency
upon the numerous mistakes and public
follies Of the administrative council.
There is the secretary of the treasury,
with his schemes for assisting bank
ing," followed by his guileless transac-
tions Of the New York banks: there is
the secretary of state, partisan of En-
gland in her oppression OF the Beers
The people are beginning to reason on
these matters and are becoming afraid
to trust such men with official power.
1t is rumored that Attorney General
Griggs has been slated for position
on the supreme bench, a man who is a
corporation lawyer from New Jersey and
the aVowed friend of trusts and COM
bines. Why is 1t that the men nearest
the president-if they have any claim
to the title of statesmen-do not advise
him that the people are opposed to such
appointments in the interest of capital
and at the expense of the nation as a
whole?
Then there is the shameful trucking
to the sugar and tobacco trusts, shown
by the recent vote on the Porto Rican
tariff bill. 1t is explained that the pres
ident so desired congress to vote, but
the country is sceptical on this point.
II such Is fact it is a reproach to both
congress and the executive. 1t would
mean that congressman have no minds
Of their own, and they do not represent
their constituency, but the will of the
president and his advisers, and that the
president had without any explanation
forsaken the wise policy announced in his
message. 1t would also mean that the
president was improperly interfering
with the legislative department OF the
government

MEDICAL BILL
Passes the House and Medical
Men Generally Seem Well
Pleased.

Columbus, March lathe Love med
ical bill providing for a state medical
examination board passed by the deci-
sive vote of 81 yeas to % nays Tuesday.
Numerous attempts to amend the bill on
the floor failed after considerable dis
cussion. The opinion prevailed that the
bill did not aim to exclude the practice
of osteopathy from the state. One Of
the greatest objections was thus re-
moved. The strongest speech against
the bill was made by Representative
Price, of Athens. who thought the sci
ence of medicine required no assistance
from the Legislature to maintain a high
standard.
In its present form the objection raised
against the bill by advertising physi-
clans and druggists have been removed,
as the committee on medical schools
and colleges inserted amendments to
allow druggists to recommend patent
medicines, and specify that advertising
shall not be considered a sufficient
breach of professional conduct as to
warrant the repeal of a license.
1t has been represented by the advo-
Gates of the bill that the present state
medical board would not be legislated
out Of office. but the general opinion
prevails that the closing section which
repeals the act creating the present
board also removes the members now
in office. This feature of the bill prob
ably will be remedied in the senate so
as to continue in Office the state board
as now constituted.
