LEGAL-CRIMINAL
Equitable Restitution Suits.

Attorney General Mayer Of New
York has begun suits against the Equi-
table Life Assurance society and the
fifty prominent men who composed it's
board of directors prior to the recent
shakeup. The court is asked to re-
uuire that the directors account for
their management and disposition or
funds and property, that they be com
PEELED to pay back any money acquired
by themselves or lost or wasted
through violation of their duties, that
those guilty of misconduct be removed
and that the surplus be credited to and
distributed solely among the policy
holders. There is nothing in this that
will disturb the Ryan management.
The legislative Investigation com
mittee met and organized at Albany
and began it's probing of the methods
of the Equitable.
John Hyde Coming Back.

from Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson.
John Hyde, the former statistician OF
the department. telegraphed from Eng
land that he would return to this coun-

Paterson's Mayor Forser.
William H. Belcher, Paterson's ''re-
FORM mayor, has been exposed as a
perpetrator of forgeries aggregating
$4,000 or more. His favorite method
Of stealing appears to have been the
palming off of fake mortgages. Mayor
Belcher had been looked upon as
model of upright and pure life.
Editor Criswell a Suicide.
Robert W. Criswell, editor Of the
New Yorker, who was recently sum-
moned on a libel charge by Congress
man Rhinock of Kentucky because Of
slurring reference to Miss Alice
Roosevelt in connection with her visit
to Cincinnati, committed suicide by
throwing himself in front of subway
train at New York. He was once con-
nected with the organization known as
the Social Editors society, which had

known as Americas Foremost Fam
lilies" This was under investigation

Treasury Deficit For July.
The first month Of the new fiscal
year which ended July 81 showed that
the government had spent 1885,, 1855
more than it took in. This is 1882
746 less than for the corresponding
period of last year, but the deficit at
that time was partly due to the pur-
chase of the Panama canal and the
fair loan. The receipts for the month
were $40, 273, 1873.

Jerome as an Independent.
A most interesting declaration of in
dependence has been given out by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome Of New York,
in which he announces his candidacy
for reelection, providing he is nomi-
mated by popular petition, which, I'M
der the election law, requires 1000 sig
natures and not by any party ma
chine. Although he is Democrat in
national politics, Mr.. Jerome says
that national issues have no real ap-
plication to state or local affairs, and
he declares it to be one of the greatest
evils of our time "that small groups
of men have, and not infrequently a
single man. obtained control Of the

regarded and that he cannot take Of
fee by their favor and still be free.
He does not propose to remain in
Office by the grace Of any man or group
of men such rs he indicates. In other
words, Mr.. jerome is evidently trying
to hnd oue whether or not the people
Of New York will elect man to Office
who has not first obtained permission
from the Tammany chief or the Re
publican chairman to be a candidate
Thus a fundamental political issue is
raised entirely aside from the question
of Mr.. Jerome's personal equation. It
strikes at the system of machine dom
ination, to which much of our munich
pal corruption is attributed.
Mr. Jerome said that it was the
sense of degradation resulting from the
conscientiousness of being ruled by
crooks that was going to start the
fight he thought was approaching, and
all that was needed was a man capa-
BILE Of moral leadership. He spoke of
the spirit of unrest throughout the
country and the vast literature of graft
which had sprung up in the last few
years.
Wilson at Oyster Bay.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
called on the president and had talk
with him about the programme Of re-
forms which has been devised. He
told the president that leaks from the
bureau of statistics were no longer
possible. He said it was no longer a
one man affair, but would be run by
four well trained scientists, two Of
whom are southerners. The secretary
denied the report that he was about to
resign and said he would stick to his
post until the department was purged.
He said all Of the trouble originated
in the quarrel of two gamblers over a
woman.
Weaver Drafts Employees.
A new and powerful weapon in the
campaign for pure ballot in the city
of Philadelphia was forged by Mayor
Weaver's order requiring all municipal
employees to report not later than Aug.
9 the cases of illegal registration in
their respective election divisions. This
will test the loyalty Of each official to
the cause Of good government The
reports of fraudulent registration have
continued, and in several precincts the
entire election board was said to be
mythical.
Depew Promises to Explain.
On his return from Europe Senator
Depew told the reporters that he had
nothing to say except that he was
coming home to stay in the storm CEN
ter and that in short time he would
make public full statement of his
connection with the Depew Improve
ment company and the Equitable loan.
He admitted that he had subscribed
81. 500 for a copy of "Fads and Fan

pressure. He said that it is his Gus

A shadow of gloom was cast over
this community Sunday by the terrible
accident which cost the life of little
| BERTHE Stile. The little fellow was at
| the home of Watson Briggs playing
| with Mr.. Briggs children where he
was instantly killed by the accidental
discharge of a shotgun. George and
Ward Briggs had been out hunting
| and upon returning home George, who
was carrying the gun, which was load
ed, to his brother to take in the house
and put away. Ward set the gun in a
corner behind a curtain, not knowing
or stopping to think that it was load
ed, and he and George went away to-
gether. A minute or two later, while
Mrs. Briggs was at the we'll after a
pail of water, little Arthur Briggs,
who is about six years old, went to
the corner where the gun stood, and
taking hold of the barrel tried to drag
it out into the room. The hammer
caught on something, firing off the
charge, all of which took effect in the
little Stiles boys body and head,
death resulting instantaneously. The
funeral was held Tuesday afternoon
at the Baptist church, Rev. Mclean
conducting the services, and the bur-
ial was made in the village cemetery.

cere and heartfelt sympathy of all in

Cold Water on the March.

Sir Frederick Treves bears a
striking testimony to the value
of total abstinence, as illustrated
in the army of 10000 men who
marched to the relief of Lady
smith. He says, "Those who
were the first to fall out were
not the fat or the thin, the young
or the old, or the shorter tall,
but those who drank. So we'll
marked was this fact that the
drinkers could not have been
more clearly distinguishable if
they had worn placards upon
their backs, which goes to prove
that spirits, whatever else may
be their effects, do not give STAN
ina, as so many people believe"

The suit is to a bill of $1,000
for sidewalk built around the court
house square in May and June of last
year. The work was entirely satisfac-
tory, but when the bill was presented
to the county board it was found that
an injunction had been filed restrain
ing the board from taking any action
on the ground that the work had not
been properly advertised for and con-
tract let according to law. The ques'
ton to be decided by the court is
whether or not the county commission
ers had authority to pay the bill, and
Judge Mccoy has taken the matter
under advisement.
