However, he ground out the New Years Rrist with a rush when he got to work and the lost time%was speedily made up. John Johnson's pedigree was first inquired into. It developed that he was the offspring of poor but respectavle parents and that ho hud increased their poverty, while at the same time the respectability diminished in proportion, Ho was thirty-one years of age and had managed to rake together £45 op to a few months ago, when he was taken with the ‘‘ager'’ ana since then be has been a gentleman of leisure, Ho sfated that he had a brother who was not a tramp and on the strengih of this he was released aond the judge promised to forward hisdinner to him at Missour: Valloy.

It has been somse time since Police Oicer Doyle bas figured as a defendant in court, but he could not allow the new year to be- come fully inaugurated without taking a hand 10 the celebration. The result was that Charles Atlen appeared at the city clerk's ofice yesterday morning and swore out a warrant for Doyle's arrest on @ charge of assault aud Dbattery. The warrant was served and the case was tried at the close of the regular police court business, The evi- dence showed that Doyle threw the prose- cuting witness 1o the floor and shook him oonsiderably, The witness had not the slightest idea why the assault was wmade, ‘The deferdant swore that Allen used pro- fane and obscens lauguage and he was sim- ply trying to “chastise” him for it. He did not try to arresthim, as they had always been friends, und as they both boarded -lfio Neumayer hotel he did ‘not waat to make the arrest, Ho was sitting in the dining room, where he had just taken his ‘‘medi- cine,” when Allen vegan calling him vile names, and ho had to give him a lesson, Allen then interposed the information that Doyle *'got hot bocause all the boys were guying him about talking to Katie o much,” and he singled out Allen us the one ou whom to wreak his vengeance.

It is stated that a vigorous move will be instituted to apprehend the incendiaries who have been operating 8o boldly in the Bluffs for months past. The matter will be brought to the attention of the next grand jury, and there is considerable evidence to be intro. duced. Unfortunately, the conscienceless wratches haye nover boen caught in the ac but there is a volume of circumstantial ey dence that may result in the return of in- dictments against parties who would never be suspected by the police. The mysterious happenings and remarkablo coincidences ra garding the actions and presence of certain parties at nearly all of these incendiary fires have been so numerous and surprising as 1o preclude the possibility of being simply the rosult of chance, anditis apparent that there is at loast connivance with the fire bugs on the part of those who should be the last to consent to such dastardly work, even if they are not directly implicatel 1n the actual commission of the crimo. It is pass. ing strange that the matter has been allowed to go as far as it has without an organized move on the part of the authorities to sup- press the crimes and arrost and panish the criminals, It is hoped that the move that is at last to be taken will ult as successfully asat prosent indicated. County Attorney Organ is imvestigating the matter, and will sco that all evidence obtainable is ready for the consideration of the grand jury. ———————— 8. M.

But Spain had a handy imolement, planned and perfected on her soil, which enabled her todeal ina way of her own with these learned, noble, but per- nicious herotics, says the Quiver. It was for the benefit of Jews and K.hmu- medans that the Inquisition had been setup. In its earlier days it had done a large and snccessful business in them, Torquemada, the first inquisitor gen- eral, is said in sixteen yed burned 9,000. Ilis su Deza, was a less active man of business, for in eight years his murders wero only 1.600. But he induced Ferdinand and Isabella to expel the Moors as Tor- a}umlmmln. had caused them to expel the Jows, Nearly 2,000,000 of th most industrious and able subjects wers thus driven by these sovereigns from their country; a blow was sell-inflicted on Spain from which she has never recov- ered; indeed, the whole policy of the Inquisition was the means of dragging down Spain from the highest to the lowest place among the kingdoms of Europe. Their highnesses of the Inquisition saw that to put down the rising spirit of Protestantism they must bend the whole reSources of their institution, in the most merciless and relentless fashion, to stamp out at once and forever every spark and vestige of heres their resources wore simply appz They had lately received o great ex- tension of powers, aud weve practically able to arrest, confine, torture, convict and burn whomsoever they pleased and perpetrate upon them the most inhu- man cruelties. Once within the: clutches their victims were practically helpiess. Attempts have been made to show that it was otherwise but histori- ans of their own confirm what we have said. No doubt in their prisons there were cells they were fairly comfort- able, but these were reserved for adult- orers, pirates, smugglers or political offenders who were not very dangerous to the church. But for heretic places of confinement were usuall wround dungoons, dark, damp und v, never warmed by the comfort- glow of a firel hardly reached by a straggling sunbeam, uncleansed and putrid, broeding disenses that, perhaps in mercy, ended the life of many a prisoncr” before he, was condemned to the fire. At the dead of night the vie- timn would be summoned to stand his trial in a dismal chamb where his merciless judges would be found, while the “famil- iars of the [Inguisition” moved about, executing - their orders, their facos covered by garments with two holes opposite their eyes, asif to dis- guise their very humanity. If the ac- cused person would ot eonfess his guilt, or would ot disclose the namgs of oth- ers whom he knew to be heretics. he was ordered the torture. The forms of torture were varied, but two obtained pre-eminence—the rack and the pulley. The -rack wus a hollow machine of wood. with no bottom, but a bar against which the body lay, while the limbs were fas- tened by~ tight cords that ofwen cut through the flesh to the bone, and on the mouth a cloth was vlaced on which water slowly descended, causing a most irri- tating sensation and a struggle for breath that often broke blood vessels in the lungs. In the pulley tho victim had heavy weights attached to his feet, his arms were bound hehind, he was hoisted by a rape to the roof, then by the slacking of the rope allowed so drop with a jerk so violent that sometimes y joint was wrenched from its If the first upplication of the instruments of torture was ineffectual the victim was flung back into his hor- riblo ceil to digest his agony as he might, and called out perhaps next day 10 undergo a repetition of the precess. Sometimes it would be repeated day after day for many days in succession, and sometimes years upon years would be spent in captivity with an occasional touch of torture to break the monotony of the confinement. Then there was the auto da fe—a sort of ‘masterpieco of inquisitorial torror. Tn alarge square in some important city a platform was crected, covered with tapestry and other Luxurious ap- pliances for'the accommotation of the nquisitors, and of such bishops, nobles or members of the royal family as might desire to enjoy the spectac! of the platform was a raised scaffold, on which the burning was to be done. An imposing procession of militury with flowing banners first appeared, then the condemned, in single file, harefooted and ragged, their bodies sesmed with the effect of tightened cords, or dia- torted by the pulley, each covered with a loose frock, called the sunbenito, bearing figures of devils and busts con- suming in the flames, to denote the destiny of the worst class of heretics, Follo~ing the prisoners came the mag- istrates, the nobility, a crowd of ecclesiastics, and finally the inquisitors, followed by the familiars, 'Fhe next part of the formance was & sermon on tho awful sins of heretics by some distinguished preacher, The in- quisifor thon admiunistered an oath binding all present to houor the inquisi- tion and defend its privileges to the very uttermost. Phe offenses of the heretirs were next ‘read out and those who were preparcli to vecant knelt down, confessing their most grievous and unnatural sinfand received absolu- tion, ncuompunlc& probably with con- fiscation of their:goods, perhaps im- prisonment for l_"; Then came the men and women ;ddstined for the fire, No brutality of twgytment could alto- gether destroy tl hearing of God’s children—the servenc brow, the gleam- ing eye, the defiunt look of men who fear not those that kill the body. Ina little while they were [astened to their several stakes, the pile of fagots was kindled around them, the sudden cry of angwsh was met with the exultant vells of the savage crowd, and those of whom the world was not worthy were wafted heavenward to join the white- robed company before the throue of God, e ooy Gedting Around the Law, The manager of ove of the theater companies playing here this week tells a story of his fivst Sunday in P.ttsburg, says the Pittsburg Dispath. He and a few other members of the company left the hotel last Sabbath in quest of cigar- ettes. They visited one cigar store after the other aud glared savagely at the drawn blinds, Weary with scarching, they chanced 1o fall in with a youu;{ doctor whota the manager knew. *I'l fix you,” the medie d, and he led them to a well known drog store, There all begging by the theatrical gentlemen whs vain, but the dootor drew out his prescription book.

ITis first deputy and as- sistant jailer was a man of fifty, named Stebbins, who was his cousin. ‘“*Steb” was a peppery old chap and a great brag and liar. According to his state- ments he had licked more men, killed move [ndians,” run down more horse thieves and helped lynch more desper- adoes than any other man liv " Father cautioned him over about wate only pr county in ago and dur red on u s ory toagh fe and over hing Williams, who was the oner” we had, and ‘“‘Steb” eplio o vight along and rest easy, iry. 10T was fool “nuff to let him git away ['d expeet to be shot and trowed to the gophers.’ Father had y gone when Will3 began calling, and I weat into the dor with the old man to see what swanted. [ was only ten years old, 1 ean vividly recall everything. The jail was made of rough stone and one-hall of it was the sherift’s residence. The jail part was ouly one big room, with'a plain but stout iron-grated door leading into the corridor, As_ the weather was warm hoth corridor doors were open. When we looked in on Joe he said: “See here, Steb, I hear you are brag- ging a good deal about how many men you have put on their hacks.” “There is no brag about it,” replied the old man. *‘I pever found a human I couldn’vlay down in five minutes.” That’s all wind and you know it!” ted Joe, ‘*You ought to be ashamed of your jaw."” “Who are you talking to?" “To you, you old wind bag! Youtalk of wrestling! Why, I kin grease the floor with your c » “Don’t git my dander up,” warned Steb, in a tremulous voice, *‘or I'll trounce you.” “Trounce me! Say, old blow-hard, I kin lather you with one hand tica be- hind me! If1 couldonly git at you I'd make you holler in one round.” “Shet up!” “I won't, and you ain’t big ’nuff to make me.’” “Yes, 1 am."” *You're a liar!” “Take that back!” “Never! “Take that back or I'll come in and make pulp of you!” “You dasn’t! I'll dare you to come in and pinta finger at me Some more of this foliowed, and Steb got the idea that he must enforce his authority or suffera loss of prestige. He was the older, but also the bigger man, and bo kept getting mad until he finally pulled of his coat, unlocked tho door, and dodged in. e made for Wil- lams, but the latter ducked under his arm, upset me at the door, and was off like a shot, and before pursuit could be organized he was beyond reach. Old Steb stood in the back door and watched him for fully five minutes before say- ing a word, Then I heard him growl: SiConsarn him for skipping out, but I've got the consolation of knowing that he’s the forty-third man I've licked outer his boots in the last five years!” e WITH 85 IN HIS POCKET. The Coin That Frank Work Started Life Wiih, When Frank Work, the great Wall street magnate, was nine years of age his schoolmaster punished him unmer- cifully by grasping one of his hands and pounding the ends of his fingers with a_ferrule until the blood spurted from them, says the New York Evening Sun. When he went home he told his mother that he would never go to that school again, His mother wisely sym- pathized with him aud agreed that” he should not again come under the au- thority of such a man, In commenting on the whipping to his mother Frank uttered a mild cuss word, und for this his mother promised and gave him a whipping. This nearly broke his heart, and he plainly told her that it would be the last whipping she should ever inflict upou him, That, night he bade his mother good- by, kissed-her affoctionately, packed up his belongings, and, with a%5 gold piece and about 80 cents in his pocket, left the house. He has not seen his mother since, He worked his passage on & boat to New Orleans and in course of time dritted to New York andsinto Wall street, in which neighborhood he hus since made his individuality felt and grasped sundry situations and dollars. The strangest part of his story is that throygh all nis trials and privations he never found it necessary to spend the original gold piece with which he left bhome. He is now seventy-one yoars old and as hale and hearty as it is possible for & man of his age to be und he has that coig still in his possession and treasuves it more than anything he owns. But he is not avaricious and, while he kept the #5, he spent the 30 cents. e Bond Offerings. WasmiNotoy, Jan. 2—{Svecial Telegram to Tas Bsk|—Bonds offered: $5,000 at #1045, A. T.
