Last evening about 5 O'Clock. Andy
Flaig, q young lad about sixteen years
old, who lives on the west side Of Race
street just below Green, was fatally in
jured by falling through hatchway at
No. 70 West Fifth street. He was on
the fourth floor at the time and was
about to descend on the elevator. The
elevator was about four feet below the
opening, when he attempted to jump on
the top beam.


He missed this and fell on the plat
form. He then rolled off and dropped
to the cellar. His skull was fractured,
one of his shoulders aud one OF his legs
were broken. The lad was put into a
hack and taken to his fathers shoe
store, on Race street. He died at noon
to-day, from the effects OF his injuries.

World writes s'of the notorious Major Mer-
Grill, who was convicted of taking q bribe

Here is something made out Of whole cloth.
If Major Merrill has ever been tried or
convicted for any offense there must be re-
cords in existence to prove it, and we defy
the correspondent in question to produce
them. 1t is true that Major Merrill did
take q number of Ku-Klux prisoners in
1912, who were convicted and sent to
the Albany penitentiary. That is all the
taking and convicting connected with his
record in South Carolina that We know Of.
Perhaps the World man does not know the

REPRESENTATIVE RIDDLE, (Democrat) }
of Tennessee, distinguished himself during
the last session of Congress by introduc
ing a sweeping and all-comprehensive
Southern-Rebel- Claims bill, of which the
following is copy:


A BILL DIRECTING COMPENSA-


TION TO BE ALLOWED FOR THE


USE AND OCCUPATION OF PROP


ERTY BY THE UNITED STATES


ARMY DURING THE LATE WAR.


Be il enacted By the Senate and House of
Representatives. Of the D,sited States of Amer
iea IN Congress assembled, That the Secretary
of War be, and he is hereby, authorized to
allow reasonable compensation to all citizens
of the United States for the use and occupa-
tioD of their property by the United States
army, or any part thereof, during the late
civil war, in the same manner and under the
same regulations as compensation Is now al
lowed for QuarterInaster stores used by said
army: PTOVided, hoIre1er, That the affidavit
of the claimant, supported By the competent
testimony of any reputable citizen, shall be
sufficient proof 10 establish the fact of the
use and occupation of such property by said
army. But il is not the intention of this act
TO limit the parties to the amount of proof
herein specified, but other and additional
testimony may be taken to establish the fact
of the use and occupation AMI the rental value
of the property occupied.


The most casual reading of this bill dis
closes its extravagant intent. "All citizens
of the United States who may present
claims for property of any kind used or de-
stroyed by the Union army could collect
them from the Treasury if the bill should
become law. The citizens of any village
or hamlet in the South could, under its
provisions. agree to sustain each others
claims, and the Government would become
liable for the amount no matter what the
antecedents of the claimants might have
been. No doubt Mr. Riddle saw tina! there

the other were gushing over pretended

the North were closed to the true condition
