TH AN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1896. THOROUGHBREDS 0F ALL DESCRIPTIONS Never Has There Been Such a Great Display of Horses. New York’s Show Has Therefore Been the Success That Was Anticipated. BEAUTIES THAT WON PRIZES. Graceful Antics That Receive the Plaudits of the Representatives of Gotham’s Swelldom. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 14.—Amer- ica’s greatest horseshow closed to-night, aiter a most successiul week. The total attendance has been close t3 70,000. So- ciety has been on hand as usual, but the mass of visitors have been true lovers of the horse, in his many varied types, shown here as never before on this side of the Atlantic. The management has the satisfaction of knowing that arrangements have been so perfect for handling the crowds of people and for caring the horses that no accident to man or beast bas marred the occasion. Horsemen and horsewomen from other cities, as well as from this locality, have nothing but praise for the show and its exhibits. The judging has been most fair. In no class has favoritism been shown, and those who have failed to win first prizes admit fair defeat. Yesterday the greatest crowd of the week was present. The paid admissions numbered over 15,000. This" afternoon 6750 people were present. To-night, when the greatest crowd of the week was ex- pected, the jam was no greater than last night. The box and the arena seats were filled and the promenade was a surging mass of humanity. Half a dozen championskips were awarded and there were plenty of num- bers to stir up the enthusiasm of the crowd. At 11 A. . the regular day’s programme was begun. It was filled with interesting numbers. Ponies in hsrness and pony stallions were first to be judged.

Ivory, giving par- ticulars of the Irish secret orders, was the sabject of much discussion this morning among Irishmen prominentin the national movement. William Lyman, president of the Irish National Alliance, said that while here Jones seemed very fiery against England and was always talking of using dyna- mite. He may have been a member of the Shamrock Club, but that is not a secret organization. It is not even a politica! organization. [ know, also, that Ivory’s trip had no mission, political or private,” said Lyman. *The charge against him is trumped vp and the testi- mony is manufactured.” Mr. Lyman emphaticaliy denied that Jones was a delegate to the convention held in Chicago at which the Irish Na- tional Alliance was organized. He de- clared that England employing spies was only acting now as she had” always done. He became very grave as he proceeded, and said: “I have gol positive informa- tion that within the last three months England has sent spies to sketch every fort in this country, an: that she has been laying short cables along the lakes con- nectif this couniry with Canada. These cables are laid in such a position that they can be picked up and utilized at a mo- ment’s notice. “I can tell exactly where these cables have been laid, and have got a map of the locality which I can produce at any time.’” g Messrs. Balfe, Gallagher, Kearny, Tynan and other Irishmen prominentin Irish societies approached by reporters of the United Associated Presses all agree that there is nothing for Jones to tell that would be the slightest use to Scotland Yard. At the same time they believe that it will materially operate against Ivory in the fort.coming trial, CHI1CAGO, ILn, Nov. 14.— Wilham Pinkerton, speaking of Informer “Jones,” whose testimony in the [vory case in Lon- don yesterday caused a sensation, said to a reporter this morning: “I'ne British Government always has secret service men in its employ in this country endeavoring to unravel any plots which might anse. In connection with the arrest of Tynan recently for some rea- son it was stated that these arrests were made through our agency. I was not here at the time, but denied the matter in the San Francisco papers. I want to deny here that we ever assisted the British Goy- ernment. **In a few cases we have been called upon to assist Scotland Yard in a civil case, but have never taken part in a criminal case. During the Parnell suit against the London Times the British sent a repre- sentative here to retain our services in that suit, but my brother and I1'both de- clined the employment. The man who approached me was an ex-detective, and I'toid him at the time that I did not think he would make a success at bis business, and that the way he was doing he was going to get himseil hurt if he did not look out. “He went to New York from here, where he framed up a combination with some people, who got all his money and sold bim bogus information. That 1s the last I know of any English detective look- ing for any information of that kind in this couniry. But this man did not have the recognition of Scotland Yard. *‘There is uo doubt that the British Gov- ernment is continually alert for plotsin this country, but the work is 2ll done by British secret service men.’’ — HAGLED 81 DINAMITE Three Men Kiiled by a Terrific Explosion at Niagara Falls Windows Broken by F!ying Wreck- age in Buiicings a Long Dis. tanc: Away. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Nov. 14—A violent explosion this morning startled the people of this city and resulted in the death of two men, the fatal injury of a third and the serious injury of three others. The explosion took place in the build- ing eccupied by Ed4 Smith & Co., con- tractors, who have been doing some ex- cavating work near by. The building was completely destroyed, and so violent was the concussion that windows were broken by the flying wreckage in buildings a long distance away So complete was the wreck that for a considerable time it was impossible to ascertain how much loss of life had occurred. The workmen had been preparing for a blast, and finding their dynamite frozen had thawed out about thirty pounds of tbeexplosive. Albert Reynolds, a work- men, had attended to this part of the work and had then carried the dynamite into the house to prepare for the blast. Just how the explosion occurred is not known, as Reynolds and the general man- ager, 8 Dane named Hakken Hammer, who were working with the dynamite, were instantly killed, their bodies being faightfully mangled: John R. Pickett, foreman of the stone- cutiers, received injuries that will prove,| fatal. John Robbins and George Milis, workmen, were so badly hurt about the head that it is thought both will lose their eyesight. e MISSIONARY WORK. Plan to Effect an Amalgamation in South Germany. DETROIT, Micn., Nov. 14.—The general missionary committee of the M. E. church to-day adopted resolutions indorsing the work of Bishop Thobura in India. A plan is on foot to amalgamate the ‘Wesleyan Methodist missions in South Germany with the M. E. missions, and $6250 was appropriated by the committee 1o carry out the plan, This afternoon the committee devoted its attention to home missions. In the non-English speaking division $1347 was approrpriated for the Welsh work in North- ern New York and Wyoming; $18,789 for the Swedish work in Texas, California Colorado, Eastern Maine, New England, Southern New England. New York, East- ern New York ana Central Swedish Con- ference, and $5300 for the Northern Swedisn Conference. Dr. C. W. Drees and Bishop J. H. Vin. cent made addresses at a platform-meet- ing this evening on ‘“Missions in Europe 2nd South America.” M. K. i S 2 Swues the Press for Libel. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 14.—Charles A. Hess, the late candidate for Congress in the Tweifth District, who was defeated for that office by George B. McClellan, bas brought action for libel against the New York Press, claiming $50,000 dam- ages. The alleged libel arises out of the charges made by the Press against'Mr. Hess that be paid $5000 to Asa Thornton and others for the purpose of procuring his (Hess’) nomination and to usein the district 10 purchase votes for i:im on elec tion day. The Press declared, the com- p'aint aileges, that Hess was a non-resi- dent in the district, and it is alleged made other charges which are made the grounds for the suit. —_—— Spain’s Latest Blunder. MADRID, Spary, Nov. 14—A dispaich from Havana to the Imparcial says: The arrival of Cuban exiles in Spain has had a bad effect here. The Spanish authorities in Cuba are of the opinion that these pris- oners ought to have been sent to the island of %‘emando instead of their being taken to Spain for confinement.

LONDON, Ex6., Nov. 14.—A motor-car- race from the Hotel Metropole to Brigh- ton, forty-seven miles from London, took place to-day and was won by the Ameri- can Durica motor, wtich covered the dis- tance ;n four hours. Fifty cars or carriages started. GREAT DISTRESS BUT NO FAMINE General Failure of Crops Met With Measures s of Relief. Tenants, However, Will Not Be Prompt in the Payment of Rents. CONCERT OF EUROPEAN POWERS English Diplomats Believe That Pres- sure Will Be Brought to Brar on Turkey’s Sultan. LONDON, Exc., Nov. 14.—Endeavoring to obtain trom official sources further in- formation regarding the impending famine 1n Ireland, a representative of the United Associated Presses learned that al- though the local Irish authorities re- ported on the failure of the crops in many districts, the official view was that no seri- ous, widespread famine was anticipated. There can now be no really extensive famine in Ireland, the arrangements for relief having been so perfected that the central authorities in Dublin can assist the local authorities at almost a moment’s notice. Into the question of suspension of rent payments by the farmers the officials in- terviewed declined to go. From other sources it can be affirmed that the Dublin Casile authorities have been warned of the wholesale refusal of the smaller farm- ers to pay their rentson the sumple ground of inability. ‘Ihere bas been uptill nowa remarkable absence of agrarian crime in Ireland. Notwithstanding the fact that the Sultan has promised to execute sweeping reforms throughout his dominions, his promises are still looked at askance by those who have had experience in dealing with his ar‘fulness. In spite of the fact that orders have already been given for the putting into effect of some of the reforms promised, it is not believed that they will prove effective. The jubilation among the newspapers over the restoration of the concert of the powers, which, it is claimed here, is re- sponsible for the pressure brought to-bear upon the Sultan, which compelled him to grant the reforme, may be shortlived. Cymnical observers of the situation do not vlace much faith in the claims that Great Britain had a prominent part in toe con- cert. They maintain that Russia, acting through Krance, is the country that de- serves the credit for forcing the Sultan to understand that he must mend his ways and dosomething besides making promises that be never intends to fulfill. If thisis really the case there is little room to doubt that there will be a radical change in the Turkish policy, for Russia is really the only power of which the Sul- tan stands in fear. Great Britain may blow and bluster, but the ruler of Turkey well knows that she is utterly impotent to do anything more than to make threats, ‘and she is not threatening now as much as she did a year ago. With Russia it is a different matter. Of course it hurts British pride to know that Russia, acting through France, has been able to accomplish more with the Sultan than she, Turkey’s self-constituted pro- tector, and it may be that it is this feeling of injury that leads official circles here 10 believe that what England could not ac- complish would also be impossible for France. But the fact remains that it was to M. Hanotaux, the French Foreign Min- ister, that the Sultan first promised the granting of reforms more sweeping in their nature than those promised to Great Britain months ago, not one of which was ever put into effect, and thatalready some of these last promised reforms are now being carried out, The Cabinet councils, arranging the Government legislation for the coming session, have decided upon opening busi- ness with the education bill, followed by a military works bill and an elaborate measure dealing with the appointment of a masters’ and workmen’s conciliation board. The military works measure was prepared for last year, but was postponed owing to the exigencies of the parhamen- tary situation. The great military har. bors in Britain are to have their arma- ments increased, and the forts at Malta, Gibraltar, Hongkong, Singapore and other stations are to be enlarged and strength- ened. Conjoined with this military works bill is a scheme for aiding colomal gov- ernments in the protection of their har- bors. The Devonshire Club gives an honorary banquet to Chamberisin about the middle of December. The Devonshire Club, since the split between the Home-rulers and Unionistsin the National Liberal Club, has been the rallying-place of the Liberal Unionists. Under the fostering care of Chamberlain the Liberal Unionists domi- nate the management of the club, and Austen Chamberlain4s an active member of the committee. The club has a solid basis, but cannot be said to prosper. The Liberal clubs are waning in membership, while Conservative clubs boom. The Conservative managers of the Con- stitutional ‘Club have ventured upon a scheme grander than anything in clubs the world has yet seen. They are inviting by private circular subscriptions for the erection of a building which is to be adapted to the uses of 15,000 members. This club is to be the focus of all Conser- vative movements and is to have a ball- room admitting of the largest gatherings of the party, a theater for lectures or dra- matic performances, cheap membership admission and’a cheap cuisine. Theé Carl- ton, Junior Carlton, Conservative, Junior Conservative and kindred groups will sub- scribe and patronize, but personally their members hold aloof. The supplying of water for London from Wales isan old scheme. Itis calculated that between the amount required for the vurchase of the water companies now holding tbe monopoly of the supply and the cost of the works from Wales, the cost would be over £100,000,000. This enor-’ mous sum could, of course, be raised by successive loans, but it would make tne Londoners pay for a long time more than is now exacted from them by the water companies. Birmingham and other great centers are competitors with London for the water-bearing area in Wales. The ppeal agamst the decision of the mixed tribunal at Cairo, forbidding the Anglo-Egyptian government from draw- ing on the Caisse of the public debt for N the expenses of the Dongola expedition is to be heard on the 17th of November. The Foreign Office officials in London have reason to believe that the resistance of the French government to the appeal will be relaxed and that the decision will be in favor of the Caisse, 4 The possible appointment of the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew to succeed Mr, Bayard as American Embassador to Great EBritain is bailed here with much satisfac- tion. Itissaid that Depew, while speak- ing recently with an English politician, admitted his willingness to accept the post if it were offered to him. Depew would certainly be a persona grata in the highest circles, and Le is universally popular. Bir Richard Webster, Attorney-General, is supposed to be disqualified for niember- ship in the Venezuelan arbitration court, as he is committed to an opinion through his advocacy of the British case. Sir Ed- ward Clarke, ex-Solicitor-General, and Secretary Frederick Pollock, corpus pro- fessor of jurisprudence of Oxford Univer- sity, are also disqualitied, the former through his opposition to the British claims and the latter by his support of them. It is surmised that Tord Salisbury will seiect Lord Herschel, formerly Lord High Chancellor and now a member of the Ju- dicial Committee of the Privy Council, and Lord Davey, a Lord of Appeal in Or- dinary and also a member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. It may be, however, that Professor Thomas Ers- kine Holland, Chicnele professor of inter- nativonal law at Oxford University, will be selected as one of the British judges. Sir Edward Clarke received a retainer of £1000 for the defense of Mrs. Walter M. Cuastle of San Francisco, who was par- doned a few days ago after having been sentenced to three months’ imprisonment for shoplifting, mnmsnu_fims AWAY Refuses to Attend the Congress of the American Secularos Union. Very Plain Talk R:garding the Move- wment to Insert the Name of the D.ity in the Constitution. CHICAGO, ILL., Nov. 14.—Colonel Rob- ert G. Ingersoll is pot in attendance upon the congress of the American Secular Union and Free Thought Federation, which beld its second session here to-day. The famous agnostic was to have addressed the congress to-morrow, bui the date was canceled some weeks ago. The reason for this is said to be political intolerance. - Colonel Inger<oll, as is we!l known, has been a strong advocate of gold for the past few months, while the majority of his bretliren of the Free Thought Federation are strong silver adherents. Many sharp letters were written the Colonel by these partisans, and at last they provoked a re- sponse in a declination to speak before the congress on the ground that the Colonel believed he would not be welcome. “It is a pity some peopie can’t let others hold such opinions as they see fit,” de- clared President Samuel P. Putnam to- day. “Iam sorry that some of our own people are so bigotea about these things. I sincerely hope Colonel Ingersoll will not continue to feel hurt, and will soon be back in the fold2” At the morning session of the congress Arthur E. Gammage of Chicago vigorously denounced the movement to insert tne name of the deity in tne constitution of the United State. “If the names of God, Christ and the Bible are putin the constitution,” he de- clared, “I shall be in favor of a monarchy, with Talmage as king; I shall advocate the restoration of the inquisiticn, with Satolli as chief inquisitor. I think that would be the only way to make the people rise up as they should.” F. C. Waiker of New York made a bitter attack upon the Young People's Society ot Christian Endeavor and the Epworth League. The following officers were re-elected: President, Samuel P. Patnam of Chicago; vice-presidents—Hon, C. B. Waite of Chi- cago, T. B. Wakeman of New York, John E. Remsberg of Atchison, Kans.,, and Franklin Steiner of Des Moines; corre- sponding secretary, B. O. Reichwald of Cnicago; treasurer, Otto Wellstein of Rochelle, IIL The speakers at the afternoon session were Mrs. Mattie Krekel of Kansas, Franklin Steiner of Des Moines, Iowa, and Charles Watts of London, Eng. A SHORTAGE OF SAILORS. Warships in Commission Must Remain Idle Owing to a Considerable Scarcity of Seamen and Marines. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 14—War talk was still rife in the navy-yard yesterday afternoon among the officers and men. Their chief apprehension was that there would be a scarcity of men to man the ships. The last Congress added 1000 en- listed men to the naval forces, raising the number toJ1,000. These extra men have been placed in the new ships 1n commis- sion, and the ships that are now ready are without recruits. This state of things has kept the big monitor Puritan out of commission since the beginning of the month. The officers practically have been decided upon, but there are no men for the crew. Neither are there any men in sight for the craiser Brocklyn, which will be ready for active service next month. Althongh the ram Katahdin is officially in commission there are no men for her. The new gun- boat Helena will spon be ready too, and thhere will be the same lack of men for er. Recruiting only to fill vacancies is going on on board tbe receiving ship Vermont. The department will ask Congress for 2000 men, but in the meantime some of the big warships will have to-lie at the docks. PR LT A THE PRIMATE. Ceremonious Visit of Cardinal Gibbons to a Frenon Flagship. BALTIMORE, Mp., Nov. 14.—Cardinal Gibbons was received with high honors on the French flagship Dubourdieu, lying in the harbor off Fort McHenry here, yes- terday. Admiral Maisonneuve sent his own launch to convey the American pri- mate to the ship.. The launch wasdec- orated with the tri-color and the stars and stripes. The Cardinal was accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Alphonse Magnien, Presi- RECEIVED dent of St Mary’s Seminary, & aoted French scholar. & As the party stepped upon the deck o the war vessel the nd “played and the sallors and marines, who had been drawn up in live, doffed their hats. The ad- miral and the officers of t: ship in full drese uniform saiuted the Cardinal. The admiral and the ship’'s chaplain then escoried the visitors en a trip of in- spection over the ship, after which the: Wwere entertained at lunch in the admiral’s cabin. The ship's chaplain celebrates muss daily at an altar on the main deck. SHARP DEBATES IRE THE ORDER Interpellation of the Radi- cals May Cause a - Storm. Bismarck’s Tactics and the Brutal Treatment of Civil- ians by Army Officers. THESE WILL BE INVESTIGATED On the Whole the Coming Session of the Reichstag Will Resuit in Nany Reforms. BERLIN, Germany, Nov. 14.—The in- terpeilation which is to be introduced by the Radicals in the Reichstag on the murder of Herr Sieberman by Lieutenant von Brusewitz at Carlsrube and other military outrages and ‘scandals has been set down upon the order of the day for Monday, and will be submitted after the interpetlation of the Centrist party upon the revelations made by Prince Bismarck through the medium of the Hamburger Nachrichten, and it is probable the whole of the week will be occupied by fierce de- bates on both motions. The Centrist motion isso phrased as to endeaver to induce the Government to disclose the nature of the treaty existing between Germany and Russia prior to 1890 and to explain why it was permitted to lapse. As Prince Hohenlohe, the Im- perial Chancellor, left Berlin on Monday last, to be gone several days, it was under- stood that he had arranged with Freiherr Marschall von Biebersiein, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to answer the interpella- tion in relation to the Russo-German treaty; but to-day it is stated that Prince Hohenlohe Limself will read the Govern- ment declaration. Priniee Hohenlohe has been hunting with the Emperor and the Grand Duke Viadimir of Russia at Letz- dingen, and it was reported that he was going from there to Strasburg. However, whether Prince Hohenlohe or Baron von Bieberstein replies to the Cen- trist motion, nobody expects that an ex- plicit statement will be made in regard to the Russo-German treaty or any other trealies other than the Russo-German neu- trality convention of 1884. It is expected that the reply of the Government will be ‘substantiaily a denunciation of the publication of the disclosures, neither affirming nor denyving Prince Bismarck’s revelations, accompanied by a protest ‘against the newspaper discussions of the old Chancellor’s indiscretions, which the whole country ought to regret. Although the debate on the Centrist motion in regard to the treaty will be of great importance perhaps still greater interest attaches to the debate on the military reform measures which will arise from the Radical interpeliation. The mystery connected with Lieatenant von Brusewiiz's sentence of four years’ confinementin a fortress ana dismissal from the army, the subseqyent dexial that he had been condemned, the report that his colonel set him at liberty and only caused his rearrest upon the orders of his (tbe colonel’s) superiors and the other stories of abuse of soidiers by officers re- quire explanation, and the Radicals mean to have 1t if possible. Io an article on the subject the Tage- blatt says that the Emperor, after speak- ing to the recruits on the occasion of their being sworn in on Thursday, addressed the officers seriously in regard to the al- leged military outrages upcn civilians, but purposely spoke in so low a tone that his remarks were only audibie to those imme- diately surrounding him, The Vorwaerts, the organ oi the Socialists, draws the worst augury of the Government’s defense from the report that the Emperor in his address to the recruits said, ‘*Whoever at- acks my uniform insults me.” ‘Whatever may be the 1ssue of the de- bate, however, it will clear tie atmos- phere around the subject and give an im- petus to the military judicial reforms. As aresult of the recent bye-elections the Reichstag is now composed of 58 Conservatives, 27 Imperialists, 100 Cen- trists, 48 Nationul Liberats, 14 Radical Unionists and Richterite Radicals, 25 Freisinnige Volkspartei Richterites, 13 Social Reformers, 19 Poles, 19 Deutsche Volkspartei, 18 Socialists, 30 Independ- ents (inciuding 6 Guelphs), 3 Bavarian Peasant party and two seats vacant. The marriage of Miss Lucy Uhl, daugh- ter of Hon. Edward ¥. Uhl, Uunited States Embassador to Germany, to Professor Guy Thompson of Yale Uriversity, has been fixed to take place in Berlin on De- cember 9. A committee of American residents in Berlin, with United States Embassador Uhl as chairman, have decided to cele- brate Thankseiving day bv giving a ban- %uet at the Kaiserhof Hotel. Messrs. J. . Jackson and H. G. Squires, respectively first and second secretaries of the Ameri- can embassy; Charles de Kay, United States Consul-General, and Messrs. Gris- com, McFadden,- Boies and the Rev. Dickee are members of the committee. The Government announces that hence- forth Germans naturalized as American citizens returning to Germany for any length of time shall be subject to an especially strict surveillance and granted only a limited period of sojourn in the fatnerland. If it shall be notoriously known that any of the returned Germans emigrated to the United States to avoid military service they will be immediately expelled from the country. Any persons discovered who shall continue their resi- dence in Germany ifor two years may be drafted into the army, despite their naturalization, and required to serve a regulation term in the military service if such persons have not passed the age of 8lyears. If they are more than 31 years of age they may be expelled. Sons of naturalized Germans born in America and coming t0 Germary for the purpose of permanent residence will be recognized as citizens of the United States and not be required to serve in the army. — POINTS UF LAW. New York Court of Appeals’ Decision on a Charitable Beguest. NEW YORK, ‘N. Y., Nov. 14—The Judges of the appellate division of the Supreme Court handed down a decision yesterday that 1s important, regarding charitable bequests. The decision was given in the case of Margaret B. Edson, executrix of the will of Marmount B. Edson, against J. E. Parsons, Charles S, Fairchild, J. A, Barlow and Mr. Hunting- ton. Several important points regarding the law which makes charitable bequests void if the codici! or will is made within two months of the time of the death of the testator are touched upon. Mary A. Edson died in May, 1890. She left an estate of $1,000,000. Her brother, Marmount B. Edson, was her heir, but he died two years later. His heirs are his son James B. Edson and his daughter Mary G., who is marriea to J. B. If Al- drich. In ber will Miss Edson made sev- eral bequests in codicils wnitten within a month of her deatb.

HAVANA, Cusa, Noy. 14.—As the dg)‘fl pass aud bring no news from the Spanish forces in the province of Pinar del Rio the dnxiety grows deeper and many ruamors are circulated. The sitnation of General Weyler is un- known, and the non-receipt of intelligence concerning his movements leads many persons here to believe that he is waiting for a decisive engagement with the rebels before he will allow any information to leak out. . It is reported that the rebel chief Du- cassi was killed in the engagement with General Weyler's forces in the Rubi hills. Colonel Lara reports having an engage- ment with a party of rebets near Calabva- zar, province of Santa Clara. He says the insurgents were routed with a loss of twenty-one killed. The troops lost three killed and eight wounded. Serafin Sanchez, the rebel leader, at- tacked the town of Condado, twelve miles from Trinidad. The insurgents fired eight cannon shots, but did no damage. Finding ‘it impos- sible to eapture the town, the rebels set fire to & number of houses in the outekirts and cut the telegraph wires, after which they retired. James Brown, a British subject, has been expelled from the island for talking against Spain in the streets of Havana. KEY WEST, Fra., Nov. 14.—Passengers by the steamer Olivette to-night report Weyier at the trocha with 35,000 men, and that he will now try to surround Maceo. Spanish troops under Generals Munoz and Echague made an attack on the in- surgents near Loma Rubi. The insurgents had set dynamite in front of their en- trenchments and waited the attack. ‘When the Spanish approached the in- surgents exploded their dynamite, caus- ing great loss of life. Munoz is reported killed and one of Echague’s legs ‘was blown off. Itisreported in Havana that General Castellano has been made a pris- oner by General Gomez near Puerto Principe. 3 SIVED BY THE OFFICERS Vigorous Action Prevents a Mob From Lynching Three Negro Prisoners. Desperadoes: Whose Murderous Deeds Arouse the Ire of Kentucky Citizens HENDERSON, Ky., Nov. 14.—Prompt and vigorous action of the authorities saved three negroes from being lynched bere this afternoon. Dave Powell, Will Dixon and Will Lower were arrested be- fore daylight this morning on a charge of having entered the store of Land & Metz- ner last night, holding up Louis Metzner and fatally shooting him. The leader of the robbers did all the shooting. They were masked and when the prisoners were taken from bed pistols were found under tneir pillows. Four chambers of Powell's gun were empty. The citizens were excited and threatened iynching, especially as there are four ne- groes in jail who participated in the mur- der of Officer White at Owensboro. A big crowd surrounded the jail and courthouse, openly threatening to take the prisoners from the officers as soon as an attempt was made to remove them to a safer place. The absence of a leader only prevented an attack on the jail. A strong escort of officers, under direc- tion of the Sheriff, took the prisoners from the jail to the railroad depot. The mob, headed by John Born, attempted to take the negroes from the officers, but Jailer Koh! knocked the leader down with a rifle and the prisoners were landed on a Louis- viille and Nasbyville train without further resistance.

ONE INSTANCE IN POINT. A Bookkeeper Who Is Given a Holiday, Medical Aid and Other Things. . Itisan old saying that “Corporations have no soul,” and by dint of repetition and application it has come to be applied to almost every employer of labor. But that this is unfair is easy of demoastra- tion. Indeed, an instance has jusi come to light which shows & well-known mer- chant of this City in a most enviable light. The facts as related by the man who was treated by this gentleman in a big-hearted way are as follows: Mr. Jones (we will call him thuc,. for, for ob- vious reasons, he does not wish his name to be known) had been out of work for a very long time, and the worry was begin- ning to tell on him.. At nights he could not sleep his appetite forsook him, and pg was generally miserable. Hope of obtain- ing employment bad just abong gone when one day in reply to an application that he had miade for a position which he had seen advertised as vacant he was asked to call on the head of a well-known firm. He knew that this was & most im- portant thing, and yet wasso “weak and weary,”” as he put it, that he found it necessary to take some stimulant before keeping his appointment with his wonlq- be employer. On the advice of a physi- cian he took a couple of strychnine p\{ls and then ‘‘made the brace,” as he calls it, He was employed and at once entered on his duties. He had been at work about a week when the senior member of the firm noticed one morning that his hands trembled visibly, and a few moments later he was summoned to the private office. *Mr. Jones,” said the head of the con- cern, ‘‘do you drink ?"’ 3 “A little ciaret with my meals—nothing else,”’ was the reply. “Then you are ill,” said the merchant grlvelf'. i “Only a little nervousness, nothing to prevent my going on with my work, sir,” said the now anxious Jones. *‘Come and see me just before you go to lunch,” said the merchant kindly enongh, but it gave Jones the shivers thinking he might lose his newly found job. However when he came in at the noon hour, he was banded a note to the Chief Consulting Physician of the Hudson Medical Insti- tute and asked to go to the big white build- ing at the junction of Market, Stockton and Ellis streets, and deliver it in person. This he did. After reading the note, the doctor said “Mr. 8— has not misjudged the matter at all. I see yon are altogether run down. But we will soon put you all right.,” A careful examination’ of the case was made, and Mr. Joges—after con- fessing to one or two follies to which most men are prone, protested tnat he could not afford to pay for treatment. *“Don’t bother about that”” said the man with the grave face who had just completed the ex- amination. ‘“You can see the manager.” Going into the manager’s room he was shown'a note which read something like this: Hudson Medical Institute—Gentlemen: Will you please examine and prescribe as you may see fit for our Mr, Jones and send us your bill for same. He has been with us but a very few days, but we think him & valusble man. 1f he neeéds rest tell him to take it, and that he can come back to his post as soon &s he is well. Yours truly, §— & co. Mr. Jones says that he took nothing but the ‘“Great Hudyan,” that marvelous remedio-treatment which the famous doctors of the great Hudson Medical In- stitute discovered, and that he was back at work quite well and a_thoroughly new man in thirty days. He acknowledges that but for the marked kindness of his employer he would have had to give up his position, but still he cannot say too much in praise of that wonderful vegetable remedy, Hudyan, with which he was so quickly put on his feet again. Any one wishing testimonials about the great Hudyan can obtain them by writing to the Hudson Medical Institute at 5 Stockton street. HHAY! DO You WANT IT?
