SCHOOL FUND CUSTODIANS ANXIOUS Judge Waters Expl Declaring that fis Fees Absorbod the Fines—The Board Not Satisfled. Lasoors, Nov. 8.—[Special to Tne Be.|— A small-sized sensation has been started by the announcement that the board of investi- gation will investigate the booxs and ac- counts of Police Judge Waters. It is as- serted by the board, and the fact seems to be substantiated by the records at the city treasurer’s office, that the police Judge has made no report of fines collected to the school board since last April. Under the law the fines go to the school fund,a portion of the costs to the police force and the balance of the costs to the police judge. The school board needed funds this week with which to pay interest on outstanding bonds and went to tho city treasurer for money col- lected by the police judge for the school fund. The city treasirer stated that there were no funds from that source to the credit of the board. Then the board ordered the investigation. Judge Waters' friends claim that there is nothing sensational in the matter. They say that according w the written opinion of the city attorney the Judge is entitled to retain from the amount of fines collected the amount cf his Since last April the fines collected have not been sufficient to pay his fees, consequently there was no surplus to turn over to the school fund. Fuslon Candidates in Trouble. The tusion candidates which individually and collectively make up the democratic and independent Lizkets in Lancaster county are ina peck of trouble, all because County Clerk Woods has ordered the official ballots privted with the name of the fusion candi- dates appearing but once on the ticket. They claim the right under the election laws to have the candidate who represents both perties have his name in two places on the ‘They have commenced an action for damus to compel the county clerk print the ticket according to their ideas. The argument was heard this forenoon by Judges Strode, Tibbetts and Hall, sitting en banc and the case 18 now under advisement. 1t is bardly probable that a decision will be rendered until after election, as the time is entirely too short to permit a careful examination of all the intricate law ints involved. In the mean- time,the ballots have been printed Lincoln in Brief, (Gaorge Mason, a youtnful horscthief, was today sent to the State Industrial school to remain until he is of legal age. .

FresoxT, Nov. 8.—[Special to Tug BE. | — A petition is being circulated in North Bend and vicinity asking Governor Crounse to pardon Josh Waldron, who was sentenced to the penitentiary about six months ago, for one year, for stealing hogs from the Bay State Cattle company. The petition urges as the chief reason that an 1nvalid mother that was relying on him for support is suf- fering for his aid and that he had previously ‘borne a good reputation. At the meezinf of the Union Veteran league last evening it was determined to support old soldiers on the several county and municipal Iluk% regardless of political afilliations. The action will probably throw from 200 to 300 votes to the men who were on the right side and clothed in the right colors during the war for the union. The uncertainty in political matiers in Dodge county is causing intense activity among the candidates of the different parties. The disaffection of Bryan demo- crats and Maxwell republicans is causing a grlnd break of party lines, and of which reak the populists are certain to receive the beuefit. Indeed, it is believed now by many conservative men of all parties that the democratic solidity may this year be ‘broken by a populist wedge or two. At any rate no candidate seems to be certain of his bearings and is busily beating up and down the county to tind out “‘where he is at.” The general sentiment of the most con- servative politicians is that fully 25 per cent of the members of each of the old parties will buck the nominees of their re- spective parties for supreme judge, and that olcomb will be the principal beneficiary. Famous Dukota County Case. Daxora City, Nov. 8. —[Special Telegram to ‘Tus Bez.]—The fall term of the district court has reconvened in this place, Judge Sullivan of Columbus presiding. The ceurt room ‘was crowded to its standing capacity when the case of Dakota county agninst ex-Treas- urer Wilkinson et al was called. ‘I'his is an action brought to recover $10.900, claimed to be due the county from Wilkinson during the term of ofiice ending January, 1800, as reported by Simon Fritzson, an expert, em- ployed by private parties ' to investigate the treasurer’s oftice, following a8 investiga- tion made by ThomasJ. Welty 18 behalf of the county. Wilkinson settled with the county on report of Welty, and rerused to comply with the demands of Fritzson and pay his reported deficienoy. Thoe jury was empaneled today, 3 special venire of seventy-two being summoned. ‘The case attracts considerablo attention, as it has been pounded around in the courts for three years, and for some time past has been more @ political comedy than law suit. ‘Wilkinson is one of the pioneer residents of the county, mow residing at Norfolk, and has a large number of friends, who claim he is in the right.

Comptroller of Currency Eckels expressed gratification to Tix Bercorrespondent today upon learning that Attorney General Olney had made up his mind to stop the exhibition being made of President Mosher of thoe late Capital National bank. “It 1s & shame,” said the comptroller, “and should never have been permitted by the local authorities and Mosher ought to have been promptly sent to the penitentiary, like other criminals, but if that was found inexpedient for any reason he should have been confined in his cell in the jail.” 1t is stated in another quarter of 'the Treasury department that proceedings will be promptly instituted_to secure from the wreck of the Capital National bank every dollar possible for the depositors, and that the assets are to be sifted to the bottom and all of the means of assessment and collection from the sharcholders exhausted, and it is intimated chat Receiver Kent Hayden will shortly be in Washington for consultation with the comptroller. “If he does not come he will shortly submit a report in writing regarding collections, eto. Plans of the President. It is stated upon good authority that Presi- dent Cleveland in his message to congress on the 4th of next month will recommend the unconditional reveal of the 10 per cent tax upon state bank circulation, and that such action has been agreed upon between the president and secretary of the treasury. If he does recommend the repeal, of course it will follow promptly.

GAVE, HER LIFE FOR A BABY Sacrifice Made by a Fond Mother on Cas- tellar Btreet. MRS, PIEPER'S. BATTLE WITH THE FLAMES Saved Her Child's Life Bat Lost Her Own— Heor 1g Boy—Hard Luck and Death Combine Agalnst the Beauchamp Family, m of & Yo A distressingly sad accident ocourred Thursday evening at the residence of Charles Pleper, 2020 Castellar street, from the re- sults of which Mrs. Pieper died. The lady was sitting by & table at her home knitting and was holding her nine months old baby ia her lap. Another of the children came to the mother's kneo and while playing with the baby pulled the table clovh on which rested a large Rochester lamp. The lamp was tipped over end ex- ploded. Flames immediately bre e out and while Mrs. Pieper was trylag to put out the fire hor clathing caught and before assist- ance arrived she was torribly burned. The 11-year-old son of the dead woman rushed over to his mother and selzod the baby and conveyed it to a place of safety. After calling to the_other children the lad ran to o neighbor's house to give the alarm. Friends soou arrived and did what they could for the suffering woman. She had succeedod 1n_putting out the fire in the house and saving her proporty and children h?t it cost her hours of suffering and her life. Physicians were summoned and did every- thing possible to reliove their patient's suf- foring. Nearly every vestigo of clothing had been burned off her, and her body from head to foot was ono black, charred mass. Death relieved the woman of her suffering at midnight, Charies Pioper, the husband and father, is an employe of the smelting works, and is now on night duty. He was not informed of the accident until about two hours after 1t occurred. Yesterday morning the remains were con- veyed to Maul's. After learning the facts in tha case the coroner decided that an inquest was not necessary. The funeral will occur Sunday afternoon at Albright. Mr. Pieper is a hard working man, and 18 the father of five children. The loss of his wife is a hard blow to him. Allof the friends of the family unite in praising young Anton for having presence of mind enough to rescue the baby and the other children. One of the baby's hands was slightly burned. HARD LUCK AND DEATIL George Beauchamp's Family Oalled Upon ‘to Stand an Overdose of Trouble. The saying that misfortunes never come singly is illustrated in the hard luck of George B. Beauchamp, who until Thursday lived at Thirty-second and Gold straets. Now he is at the morgue. Mr. Beauchamp was never an owner of bonds, banks or stocks. On the contrary he had to work hagd to getenough money to keep himself and family from suffering the pangs of hunger. He was taken down with typhoid fever and died. His wifo, who was at the bedside day and night, was also stricken with tho same dis- ease and at the time her husband died was lying very low in another apart- ment. She had a bright, promising boy and when told of her husband’s death remarked that she “had Jimmy yet,” and would de- pend on him. While returning from a drug store Thursday night the bov fell and broke his arm and is now in a hospital. ;The poor woman is not expected to live and the chances are that when the lad recovers from his injury he will be an orphan. The atten- tion of the officers of the Associated Charities has been called to the case and they will see that the suffering mother and the boy are cared for. —— This Is the Inst day of registration. e L CLEVELAND AND THE S0UTH. Kxpressions of the President in Response to an Inv ; ‘WasuINGTON, Nov. 8.—President Cleveland this morning received the delegation now in the city from Augusta, Ga., who came here to invite the president and Mrs. Cleveland and the cabivet to attend the Augusta expo- sition and state fair, which will be open from the l4th of November until the 14th of December. The entire delegation wasout and in ad- dition was reinforced by Speaker Crisp and Representatives Turner, Cabaniss, Tait and Black of Georgia, and Brawley, Shell and Latimer of South Carolina, John H. lnman of New York, General Evans of Georgia,and Secretary Hoke Smith and others who are nterested in having the president accept the wvitation. ‘ Colonel Patrick Walsh of the Augusia Chronicle made the opening speech and was supplomented by brief talks from Speaker Crisp and Mr. Turner. ‘Che president lis- tened attentively and interestedly to what the speakers had to say. “The exposition,” Colonel Walsh said, “will be to several states in the south what the World's fair at Chicago was to the na- tion. The south needs capitat and develop- ment of her unrivaled resources. There is no locality in our country so rich in possibil- ities for manufacturing and development the south. *“We have an abundance of raw material and our natural advantages are very great in coal, iron, timber, cotton and in our water power and climatic advantages there is o section which presents superior at- tractions or inducements for settlement and investments. This exposition will show the varied products of field, forest, mine and factory and we ave earnestly desirous of securing your presence in order that it may be enabled to make a deliverance to the wholc country that will be productive of lusting benefits to the south. Our people are exceedingly anxious for you to accept the invitation and as evidence of this the general assembly of Georgia yesterday passed a resolution inviting you and the cabinet to the exposition and state fair. “If you are not prepared w answer affirma- tively today, we earnestly requ that you will take our invitation under consideration.'” When Mr. Walsh had concluded the presi- dent expressed his appreciation of the in- vitation. and said that he was much obliged forit. He reminded the delegation, how- ever, that at this time he was a very busy man., Every president usually re- quired & month or two to prepare his message to congress and his would nave to be ready by the 5th of December. He re- called that the delegation had said the expo- sition would be open until the l4th of De- cember. He was not prepared to say what he would do, but he would greatly like to accept the invitation, After Mr, Cleveland had finished speaking Ropresentative Turner addressed & few words to the president, urging him earnestly o accept tho 1nvitation, and his efforts were ably secouded by Spéuker Crispin a few well chosen words. It was suggested that if the president could not make & stay of more than & day he might be able to make a hurried trip to she fair and be absent from Washing- ton for ounly forty-eight hours. The president's manner toward his visitors indicated to them that: he was inclinea o accede to their wishes if public business would permit, which, however, was very uncertain. He dened their hearts by telling them that he was biased in theic favor. ‘Ihe delegation then withdrew fo the corridors aud di’ persed. They hope for 8 favorable deeision by the president and believe that if he finds iv ble to comply with their request do 50 between the 7th of December; after ud the close of the expo- e Agents Deny whe Keport. New York, Nov. 8.—Ab the oftice of the New York & Cuban mml steamship line it was said this moruing that no sdditional details in regurd to the case of the City of Alexandria had been received from Havi 1LY BEE: 8 The agents of the 1idd however, were not at all pleased with th¥ ¥bport ciroulated last night that sixty-fAive hves had been lost and emphatically denied, the truth of any such statements, maintithing their original statement that only #he purser and stewagd- €58 Were missing. DENIED IN TOTO. el Reports from Chigpgo on Unlon Paciflo Hosiness Refated at Headqanarters. Close upon the hoels of Chairman Cald- weoll's visit to the géfieral passenger agent of the Union Pacifie tomes the statement from Chlcago that! M¢. Lomax has written letters to the Great, Northern, Northern Pacific and Southern Pacific that, there was no reason why rates should not be restored by the transcontinental lines on November 5 w the old basis, and that the Union Pacific would put in the old rates on that day. The télegram further says: ““For any continuation of low rates, for any further reductions or complications arising from such reductions, the St. Paul and coast lines must be held accountable.” Although the general passenger agent of %o Union Pacific has outlined his position a number of times through the columns of Tar B, and while it is conced®d that he means 10 be conservative, it was a surprise in_pas- engar circles vesterday morning to leatn hat Mr. Lomax intended to be as largely 1beral as the telegram intimated. Mr. Lomax flatly denies overy statement contained in the Chicago telegram. To every question propoundea by the reporter he gave an emphatic “No," throwing the au- thority for the assertions on the Chicago people who gave out misl Tt is not Mr. Loma precipitate a rate war, the hands of the court, and as yet he is not sufficiently in- formed as to just what he can and cannot do. He desires the rates restored to the old basis before the Great Northern slashed them right and Jeft, but 1t is very much doubted if he will be the first to fiy & flag of truce in view of the fact that the fight has not been of his own reeking. This situntion was exhaustively dis- cussed with Chairman Calawell of the Western Passenger association. Mr. Lomax stated to the gentlemeu that his hands were tied, but he gave assurance to Mr. Caldwell that whatever was done would not be done hastily, but on the con- trary would be sanctioned by the re- ceivers.
