bunch Of clever actors and bright,
goodlooking chorus girls. The show
went with q vim and dash from start

Family at Solomon.

Special to the Reflector.
SOLOMON, Sept. 5.-Allen c. Castor
committed suicide last night in the
Salina Jail by hanging himself in his
cell. H. Bannon and Fred Brownrigg
went to Salina this morning to take
charge Of the body and bring it here

lily consists Of the wife, son, Zeno-
phon, and three daughters, Leon,
lulu and Alma; here, one daughter,
Mrs. A. Smith, in Indiana.
Castor formerly ran a store at Kipp
and was charged with borrowing
money from a Salina bank on bic
goods by disappearing bis title to
the same. He has been in Jail
for some weeks and was Wednes-
day evening found guilty Of OBJ
tanning money by Misrepresentation,
borrowing money on goods previously
mortgaged or which be did not own,
and in the Saline county district
court was sentenced by Judge Thomp.
son to term Of two years at hard
labor in the Kansas peniteutiary. The
jury went out at 1880 and at 6 O'Clock
returned q verdict. which when read,
caused such pathetic scene among
the wife, three daughters and son, Of
the defendant that court had to ad-
journ.
The Castor family had only come
to Kansas about two years ago from
Ohio and when the verdict was an.
nounced the poor women became very
bitter in their denunciation OF Kansas.
The wife remarked: "Why did we
ever come to wicked Kansas"
A motion was made by the attor.
neys for Castor, asking for q new
trial, which was refused by the Judge,
on the ground that the jury was id.
telligeut and conservative, and be did
not see why be should disregard their
action as to the facts in the case.
The members OF the family have
many friends in this vicinity which
has been their home and all sympa'
.thize with them in their trouble.

He Had Been Expelled for Being in
Militia.

At special term of the New York su-
preme court at Albany yesterday Justice
Wesley o. Howard granted preliminary
injunction, restraining the Painters Union,
No 62, of Schnecta from in any way
treating William Potter as not a member
of the union. The summons is made return
able in twenty days and the injunction was
obtained by Yates & Grippe, attorneys for
Potter
The complaint quotes clauses from the
union constitution to the effect that any
member against whom charges have been
preferred shall be given a trial, being fur
nished with copy of the charges. Pot
ter's complaint states that he has been re-
fused copy of the accusation, and was
never given a trial.
On this ground and on the ground that
the disquaifying mlltamen, special police
officers or deputy sheriffs, is in contraven-
ton to public policy, the injunction was
asked
The injunction orders that Potter be re-
stored TO membership pending trial by the
courts.
William Potter was member of Paint
ers' Union No. % and was expelled from
his union on November H. His employers
were forced to discharge him to avert a
strike because he was national guards
man. He diSobeyed the orders of his union
to apply for dismissal from the National
Guard and served with his company at the
time the troops were sent to Glen Falls to
suppress disorder during the strike on the
Hudson Valley railroad.

The white fleet represents an advanced

west and Great Harbor, Culebra, on the
east; also to mine the main ship channel of

worked one hour in laying mines before the
arrival of a blue force 80 per cent greater

(b) If it enters the port and completes the
mining of the channel before the arrival OF
a blue force double its own, it wins.
White loses if intercepted by a superior
blue force at or in less than one hour
after it enters the port.
The blue force to win must: (a) With a
superior force meet the white fleet at sea

A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
The reciprocity negotiations between Gen.
Tasker Bliss and the Cuban secretaries,
Zaldo and Monies, is practically at stand
still owing to the latter desiring to await
the outcome of the bill introduced in the
house of representatives providing for The
appointment of committee to draw up a
bill defining the limits of the concessions
which the Cuban government can offer for
eign countries in negotiating reciprocity
treaties. committee of the house began
the study of the question today.
1t is known that Secretaries Zaldo and
Monies have reached satisfactory agree
ment with Gen. Bliss, and practically all
that Is left to be done is the signing of
the agreement, but they do not wish to
assume any responsibility. especially since
the recent cabinet crisis and in view of the
apparent determination on the part of the
nationalist party to oppose the government.
The nationalist are supposed to control
the house, and the bill referred to is a
nationalist measure.
In discussion in the senate today on tho
subject. Senior Sanguiy said agreement
signed by President Palma and Secretaries
Zaldo and Monies would not be binding
and that the matter must be brought before
both houses of parliament. Congress, lie
said, should be informed regarding the par
ticulars of the proposed treaty in ord Il
that it might intelligently discuss the
changes in the tariff.
