THE DEATH PENALTY.
Four Ifon Expiate Tlisir Crim63 on the Scaffold
Yesterday.'
A Scene of. Ilorror Enacted at the Execution
of Charles TUon, a Colored Deck.
Hand, Who Dies Slowly From
Strangulation.
Nkvada, Mo., 13. Henry S. Stair, who is
to hang here to-Uay, was visited by his father
about 9 o'clock last night, after which he
&Ient most of the time writing until i this
morning, when he went to sleep. He awoke
at 8 :15 and partook of-a light breakfast, after
which he was shaved. Large crowcU of peo
ple surged through the streets all the morn
ing, tramping between the jail and the gal
lows, which is erected in a ravine, forming a
natural amphitheater, about a mile from the
lail. Trains from Sedalia and Kansas Citv
arrived at 10:30, bringing hundreds of people
to witness the execution, which will not take
place until about 1 o'clock. Stairs spoke
from the scaffold for thirty minutes, protest
ing huinnocence and the innocence of the
woman implicated, saying they were victims
of circumstances. The drop fell at 1 :2S, and
in fifteen minutes the body was pronounced
lifeless and tnrned over to his friends, who
will take it to Marshall County, Indiana, to
night for interment. Ten thousand people
"witnessed the execution, and good order
prevailed.
The crime for which Stair was executed
"was brutal and cold-blooded in the extreme.
Stair and his companion, a woman named
iNannette Osborn, who was to have been
Ranged with him. came to Nevada about the
1st of last July from Fort Scott, Kas., and
opened a small laundry, representing them
selves as man and wife. Shortly after their
arrival, Jacob Sewell, an elderly man and
his Bon. sixteen years old, with two wagons,
four horses and some other property, also
came here from near Fort Scott, and went
into camp near town. The Stairs and Jewell
were slightly acquainted, and the Stairs
made frequent visits to Sewell's camp. Later
on the elder Sewell was taken sick and was
compelled to keep his bed in one or the
wagons, which had a cover, and was looked
after by Stair and the Osborn woman. It
was during these visits that Stair laid a plan
to murder the Sewells and take their teams
and start for his former home somewhere in
Indiana. On the night of August C, Stair
and the woman went to Sewell's camp, and
after a short visit returned home. About
midnight Stair made a second visit, and
finding both the Sewells asleep, killed them
both with an axe. After completing
his horrible butchery, Stair placed
the bleeding and mangled bodies of his vic
tims in one of the wagons and covered them
with some old clothes. He then went after
the woman, and on arriving at the camp they
started for town, Stair driving the wagon
containing the dead bodies ana the woman
the other one. On arriving at their bouse
they tilled the wagons with their furniture
and started for the Mannaton River bottom,
about five miles away, where the next day
ttair buned the bodies. Passing through tbe
woods, they attracted the attention of some
men at work, who regarded their proceedings
as suspicious, and the next day they went to
the spot where the wagons had been halted
and discovered the dead bodies. Informa
tion was immediately given, a pursuit was
organized and Stair and the Osborn woman
were captured about twenty miles distant.
They were lodged in jail and at the next
term of court were tried and both convicted
of murder in the first degree and sentenced
to be hanged together. A stay of execution,
liowever, was obtained in the woman's case
and she was granted a new trial.
At Belleville, Missouri.
licLLEViLLE, Mo., Jan. 14. Noah Merrian,
wife murderer, was hanged to-day at 11:25
o'clock. Previous to his execution he ad
mitted having killed his wife, and confessed
the murder of a woman peddler in East St.
Louis some six years ago. - The name of the
woman he would not reveal. He walked
with tirni step to the gallows, a ad after pray
ing for a short time, his arms and legs were
pinioned and the black cap placed over his
Lead. This ordeal he withstood without
inchin', but while the noose was being
adju.-ted about his neck he fell in a dead
faint, and it required three men ta hold
him in position over the trap. The trap
was then spruns and the man died in twelve
minute?, after surlering the most terrible
agonies.
In ascending the stairs he slipped, but was
held up by the priests, and then he stood
clo.se to the trap, but looked determined to
face death bravely. The priest told him to
kneel down, and the two repeated in a low
voice a short prayer. He was then
placed on the trap,! and Deputy Sheriff
Anthony began to pinion his arms and legs,
while Deputy Sheriff P.agland adjusted tae
Mack cap and noose. Tue noose had hardly
le?n adjusted when Merriman's strength
crave way, and he fell in a dead faint.
Deputy Sheriffs Pagla-nd and Anthony en
deavored to raise hirn, but he was so limp
that they could not get him to his feet,
l ather Cough, who had remained on the
f-f aiio'ed, then aided them, and when the
three got him into a half standing position,
the Sherilf sprung the trap and Merriman
descended like a shot. In trying
to raise him after he had fainted, the
Deputy Sherifts had pushed the knot
of the noose almost around to the front of
his neck, and the fall did not break his spinal
cord. He writhed terribly, and it was evi
dent to the spectators that he wa3 suffering
intensely. In twelve minutes after the trap
w as sprung Drs. P.uben and Beckstold felt
his pulse and pronounced him dead. The
body wa3 then cut down and placed in a pine
cottin which had been brought by his bro
ther. The remains were taken to the county
cemetery, where they were interred.
At St. Louis.
St. Locis, Jan. 14. Charles Wilson, a ne
gro deck-hand, was hanged here this morn
ing. After the trap had been sprung the
body for a moment remained motionless,
and then there was enacted a scene of horror
which chilled the blood of all who witnessed
it. Two doctors, one on either side were each
holding a wrist, when the violent contor
tions of the hanging figure shook them aside,
and before they could regain their hold upon
the nan. whose acts showed that he was In
full possession of consciousness of all that
was (roing on, made frantic struggles to re
lease himself. His right hand shot up,
clutched the rope ana held it firmly. It
seemed as if the man must die by slow de
crees from strangulation, but one of the doc
tors succeeded in disengaging the hand. In a
fchort time the body hung a lifeless corpse.
The crime for which Wilson was hanged
was tbe murder, on July 31, 1S., of William
A. David, Second Mate of the steamer Jen
nie Tatum, on which Wilson was a deck
hand. On a trip up th river when near
Chester, 111., Wilson had a dispute with
David, the latter accusing him of shirking
his work. Tha dispute win terminated by
the Mate who knocked Wilson down with a
heavy stick of wood, the blow leaving a scar
upon bis forehead which still remains. TLe
negro then demanded his pay for two days'
work, which the Mate refused to give him.
When Tatum arrived in this city Wilsom
' again demanded his pay and the Mate re
fused it, and drove him from the boat.
Shortly afterwards, while Wilson was talk
ing to some one of the boat's crew on the
levee, David approached and ordered Wilson
to leaves and is eaid to have made a move u
if to draw a pistol, whereupon Wilson threw
a rock at him, hitting him. knocking him
lown. He tbrv threw another rock, which

Hanged (or Murder.
New Obleass, Jan. 15. A special to the
Picayune from Lake Providence says Wil
liam George, colored, wa? executed within
the inclosure at the Parish Jail to-day for the
murder of Peggy Johnson, August 10, 13'J.
George ascended the scaüold at 12:25 p. m.
He presented a fine specimen of colored man
manhood, being six feet in height and very
muscular. Ke appeared perfrctly self-composed,
and his face bore a quiet smile. After
religious services George delivered a ram
bling speech for fifteen minutes, the burden
of which was that he was bound heaven
ward. He acknowledged that he feigned in
sanity during the trial, and at tke last moment
he cried out: "I did kill Peggy Johnson."
As the rope was being adjusted he laughad
aloud as if in defiance of his doom. The
drop feil at 12:r0, and in twelve minutes he
was dead, his neck having been broken.
From some cause his throat was gashed and
blood was spattered all round. After the
customary inouest the bodv was buried in
the jail vard. Georsre was fifty-two years
old. He lived in Yicksburg from IS to
1870, and took an active part in the political
troubles in Warren County, Mississippi.
He went to Kansas in 15W as a pioneer emi
grant from Louisiana, but returned here in
1S7S. He was a Pension' Agent, and he
preached that he would be a leader of his
race.
At Beaumont, Texas.
Eeai most, Tex., Jan. 15. William Madi-
Bon, colored, was hanged here to-aay for the
murder of Albert fcniita, also coiorea, last
summer. The cause of the crime was jeal
ousy. Frozen toUeatlu
Denver. Col.." Ja. 16. A report reached Den
ver last evening from Benkelman, Col., that six
men bad been frozen to death near that place,
and that it was feared there were others who
have lost their lives. Three bodies Lave been re
covered and taken into Benkelman, and a large
party is out searching for the others. Benkelman
is a small cattle station on the Burlington and
Missouri Hirer F.oad, and it is impossible to sret
particulars of the freezing of the men. Twool
the unfortunates w ere hunters uamed Fahr and
Burns, two were laud prospectors, one was a la
borer and one a teamster. They left Benkelman
just previous to the recent hard storm. The
weather was fifteen degrees below zero, and tbe
wind blew the snow into drifts. It was feared
at the time that the men would
peri'h, and as they did not return a earc hing
party was sent out. The first body found was
that ol the hunter Fahr. His gun was sticking
out of the ground, and his body snowed under.
He had evidently become aware of his fate. and.
sticking his gunbarrel tirst into the ground and
snow, he had lain down to die. The body of his
companion Bums was found about 100 yards
away. The evidence was that he died while
struggling to keep on his feet. Another body,
name cot given, was also found, and a portion of
the rescuing party brought the three bodies back
to Benkelman while others continued the search.
It is feared that a large numbei of settlers on the
Government land in the vicinity of Beukleman
have been frozen to death in the recent exteme
cold weather. A large number of familes moved
on to this land late last fill, and were in poor cir
cumstances to stand the rigors of a winter. The
settlers are beyond the bebten paths which cross
a cattle country like this, and, therefore, they can
not be visited until the snow has left the country,
at least to some extent.
Becomes an Heiress.
TotEDO, O., Jan. 1C A most remarkable case of
good fortune comes to light to-day. by which a
servant girl at one of the hotels here becomes
heiress to one of the largest estates in England.
Nearly twenty years ago the only daughter of Gen
eral Kutledge Greg, of the British army, eloped
from her home in Sunderland, England, with
Charles O'Connor, one of her father's hostlers. He
was a hand.-ome young fellow, and Annie Grej
had as pretty a face as could be found in all Eng
land. Furious at his daughter's disgrace the old
General diinheriled her, and until a few months
a?o would have no communication with her, the
letters which she wrote him a yearor two after her
marriage being all returned unopened. Young
O'Connor and his bride settled in the County
Sliuo. Ireland, where he led a precarious exist
ence. Six children were born to them, one
of whom. Annie O Connor, now eighteen years
old. came to this country about a year ago. Her
only relative here was a paternal uncle, fche got
work as chambermaid at the New York House, oue
of the cheap hotels here. I-ast summer General
Greg's wii'e was taken .11 and besoueht her hus
band to send for their daughter. He finally re
lented and wrote for her to come home and to
briDgher husband and children with her. They
failed on a Glasgow steamer last feptemier, but
the boat was overtaken bv a terrible storm and
foundered, many on board being lost, among the
number the entire O'Connor family. The old Gen
eral subsequently learned the address of the
grandchild who h" 1 come to Toledo, and he wrote
to her to tome to him at once. The letter received
vestenlav z:ts the above particulars and was the
first intimation Mi-s O'Connor had of her parents'
fate and of he: own ?oo J tortune.
Seeking Annulment of Marriage.
Minneati us. Minn., Jan. 10. Dr. G. W. Emory
has served papers upon Mr.. Emery in a suit for
annulnieiit of marriage. The action is baed
upon the allegation of a previous marriage ia
Toronto, it is claimed, to Charles Haydeu, before
she kne w the Doctor, aa l he asserts that she has
never been divorced. Harden is now living in
Toronto or Buffalo. Mr. Hayden, it is under
stood, was de-erted by her husband. In a few
years the became destitute and was foreed to
make a livint; a l-est she conld. Dr. Emery, then
a young man and not yet a doctor, soon afterward
met Mr?. Hayden. v ho had asvmed her iaaiden
name. The sympathetic voting man saw much
that was attractive in the deserted wife, and sked
her to marry him. .oon afterward he went to the
Bellevue College Hospital. New York, to study
medicine. Here Mr-. Hayden came to meet him,
anil they were married in W.I.
Dr. Emery yays that he did not know at the time
that his wife had never been divorced from her
former husband nor. in fact, that she had ever
been married. A year after their marriage Dr. and
Mrs. Emery went to live near I'eoria, ill.' They
had no children and the doc tor adopted Miss Ber
tha, who i now a pretty young lady of eighteen.
Since coming to Minneapolis the doetor has adopt
ed another child. Both children, he claims, were
adopted by him and are his. Dr. Emery is a
prominent member of Westminster Church and a
physician oi considerable local repute. Another
feature of the case is that, if Dr. Emery wins the
suit for annulment of marriage, no alimony, it ii
said, can be claimed.
Novel Ouestions ot Heirship.
Xew Haven, Conn., Jan. 16. One of the most
singular wills that have ever been known to be
made in this State has been settled in the Probate
Court here. The ioint upon which the will was
contested has not been presented to any judicial
tribunal in the United .States or England in over
half a century. The wealthy plushmanufacturer,
John II. Tingue. of Seymour, who died less than
a year ago, made a will in New York City, in Ula,
disposing of over fJOU.OUO in personal property.
By the will he gave his property ol every
kind to his heirs, to be divided as if be had died
intestate. By a special statute in this State,
passed in 1;. a legal v "d made in another State
may be admitted to prooate in Connecticut, and,
this will was probated here. But a dilemma
arose. When he made 'he will he left five broth
ers and sisters, the eldt. sister being the daugh
ter of his father, but not of the same mother.
Under New York laws this lad v would have had
an equal share with the others had he died intes
tate, la this State she would be excluded from
ny share in the estate. Thus arose a contest be
tween the heirs. By Mr. Tingue's removing his
borne from New York to Connecticut he thereby
altered the meaning of the term "heirs."'
There was a possibility of a lengthy legal con
test, but the heirs have finally compromised the
matter and have allowed the claims of the elder
sister exactly as the terms of the will indicated.
The ouestion thus remains undecided, and prob
ably lor half a century more the same question
will not arise.
The Rescuing Party at Nanticoke.
Wilkem:arre, Fa., Jan. 16. The rescuing party
at work o i the slope ot one of the Nanticoke
mines of the Susquehanna Coal Company had, up
to an early hour this morning, worked their way
through over 3.C00 feet of sand, culm and rocks,
and are now hourly expecting to reach the fatal
chamber. Yesterday practical miners were doing
much toward aiding the rescuers, and they do
not hesitate to say that, from the present indica
tions, the men are all buried beneath tho sand.
When they reach the faul spot this may prove
true. It may yet take several days before any of
the bodies can be recovered.

Exciting Debate in the Landtag Upon the
F.xpulsion of Pole Egyptian Affairs
, Assuming si Serious Shape-
Home Rule for Ireland.
Er.ELiN, Jan. 16. Although the Eniperor, in his
speech at the opening of the Landtag, on Thurs
day, snnounced a budget difficult and a gloomy
outlook for trade throughout Germany, all tbe
newspapers congratulate him on the improved
state of his health, which, they say, promises a
prolonged reign for His Majesty, and outweighs
the consideration of everything else.
The first exciting question to come bo fore the
Landtag will be the interpellation of the subject
of the recent expulsion of Foles from the Eastern
Frovinces of Prussia. This interpellation is iden
tical with the one which recently created a lively
scene in the Reichstag. Price Bismarck, on that
occasion, refused the answer, but softened his re
fusal with the remark that he would not shrink
from an inquiry into the subject in the proper
place, namelv, the Landtag.
Herr Winthorst, the leader of the Catholic
party, in the columns of the Germania, exhorts
the members of the Center to greater effort at the
opening of the session for the purpose ot discuss
ing several important motions.
In the Reichstag fourjmotions have been tabled
by the Poles, Social Iemocrats, Clericals and Lib
erals, demanding a humane and righteous policy
toward foreigners and Foles working in Frus
sia. It is ciaimed by members of the above
named parties that the expelled Poles were not
foreigners, but Prussian subjects. During the
debate which ensued Herr Liebnock. Socfal
Democrat, denounced the policy of expulsion
by brute force, and declared that It proved that
Germany was still under the influence of barba
rism. Herr Moller, Liberal, compared the exclusion
of foreign wares under a protective tariff, and
the forcible expulsion of foreign workmen, with
the policy pursued by other countries which were
seeking "to promote industries with foreign
nations. Herr Wiudthorst arguud that the ex
pulsions were ordered becauie the victims were
Catholics. The discussion, however, was result
less, owing to the absence of the ministers.
Herr Windthorst has announced h's intention of
dividing the Landtag on the quesiion of expul
sions. The Czar's ukase ordering the expulsion from
Russia of all Prussians not nationalized will
aflect 10,fjoo persons, employes and workingmen.
The employes are allowed ei'ht months in which
to quit Russia, the workmen six mouths, and the
peasants six weeks.
The Germania states that the Pope, in his recent
letter to the German Bishops, advised moderation
in the discussion of politico-religious questions,
and co-operation to obtain a settlement of the
question of the education of the clergy. Other
journals charge the Government with the inten
tion to submit to the Reichstag a bill for the
regulation of seminaries for the education of the
clergy, which would be acceptable to the Vatican,
indicating the end of the kultrrkampf.
The Diet of Saxonv has rejected a motion bv
Herr Bebel asking the State to contribute 8.000,000
marks for the expenses of primary education
now falling upon the communities.
THE EGYPTIAN DIFFICULTY.
Affairs Have Assumed a Serious State Owing;
to Turkish Intrigues.
Cxir.o, Jan. 1C Mouktar Pasha, the Turkish
Commissioner in Egypt, is sick. His illness is
supposed to be "political illness" to gain time
and to afford an excuse for not taking part in any
deliberations with Sir Henry Drummon Wolff, the
British Commissioner, respecting a settlement of
the Egyptian difficulty. There is no doubt affairs
have assumed a serious state owing to Turkish in
trigues, as General Stephenson, commander of the
British troops in Egypt, who recently assumed
offensive positions against the rebels, has sud
denly returned to Cairo and is now holding a con
sultation wun tue untisn omciais here.
IRISH HOME RULE.
Liberals Warned That They Must Grapple
at Once With the Irish Difficulty.
London, Jan. 16. The Times this morning
recognizes that the Irish question must receive
the immediate attention of the new Parliament.
In a spirited leading article it urges the necessity
of the Conservative party at ouce facing the is
sue. It says the Conservatives can not shrink or
postpone its action. 11 tney attempt to remain
in onice without matiug a vigoroua-effort to grap
ple with the Irish difticuity, it will result in their
prompt ana unequivocal condemnation. 1 111
versal scorn will be their portion if they give
their opponents a chance to overthrow them
without staking their existence on a bold defense
of the Union. Such a course would be worse
than a blunder it would be a crime. The Gov
ernment should not hesitate to challenge the ver
diet of the House of Commons on the question of
home rule. It can not be doubted that they
would obtain an immense majority in favor of
maintaining the integrity of the Empire.
GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
London New.
Loxnov. Jan. 1C A banquet was given to-night

The Loudon Chamber of Commerce has peti
tioned tbe Indian GHice to facilitate the establish
ing of railroad communication between Bunnah

of State for India, promised to consult with the
Indian Government on the subject, adding that

tance of opening up trade with Siam and China.
He said it was impossible, however, to decide
upon the best means to be adopted pending the
complete settlement of Burmah.
A New Solution of the Irish Ouestion.
D111UK, Jan. 16. The Irish Times, a loyalist
organ, offers a new solution to the Irish question
to-day. It says that tbe outcome, of the present
situation M ill be that the Lord Lieutenancy will
be entirely done away with, and the functions of
that office will become part of the duties of the
President of the Local Government Board. This
latter officer will be assisted by a Chief 8ecretarv
for Ireland, who will reside at White Hall and
have general charge of the administration of
Irish affairs. The immediate executive duties
will le performed by an officer stationed at Dub
lin. The advocates of this scheme And reason for
believing it possible in the fact that leaders of
both parties have already abandoned the idea of
creating an Irish Parliament, while it is admitted
on all hands that the present mode of governing
Ireland can not continue unmodified.

committee of the National Base Ball League, to
day sat in this city to determine what two clubs
to add to the League in place of the disbanded
clubs of Buffalo or Providence, or to determine

the choice oithe eighth; club, from Indianapolis,
Kansas City or Milwaukee, should belefettothe
clubs of the league fa Chicago, Detroit and t.

would be the mot wise accession to the League.
The committee was in .favor of Kansas City. If
not decided by the committee before March 4,

dent of the League 5ö 0t in yearly, installments
of f 1,000 each, payable during the month of
March in each year, said fund to constitute a
guarantee fund' for the fulfillment of the consti
tutional requirements of the League, aud tbat
they shall deposit bonds of 5000 each."
This fund will in time bear interest and build
up a large sum to be used for the benefit of the

The Miraculous "Call" of a Boy to Preach
the Gospel.
Rai.ek.h, X. C, Jan. 16. A most remarkable
case, which is attracting much attention in this
section, has given tresh fuel to the fire of super
stition. Romulus Sturdivant is an estimable citi
zen residing in Wake County. He has a son
named John, aged sixteen years. This boy stated
to an assemblage last week that he had received
direct injunction from God to preach the Gospel
to all nations of the earth, and that this injunc
tion had been accompanied by a declaration on
the part of the Almighty that in order to further
the confidence ot the people In the special call
made upon him the boy would be made blind for
two days and nights. In strict accordance with this
divine'threat the boy was stricken blind at 11
o'clock last night and still continues in that con
dition, but says he will be restored to-morrow
night. He savs God also told him that if people
did not believe the iniunctiou given another com
mand and test would be instituted.
The boy preached his first sermon last Thursday
night, and last night preached again. He says
that God prescribed the text, which was taken
from 1. Samuel, twelfth chapter aud latter clause
of second verse, "I have walked lcfore you from
my childhood unto this day." The boy has been
attending school. He is in good health and has
the ordinary education of boys of his years.
W hile preaching he appears as if asleep or in a
trance, but when the benediction is announced
be throws out his arms and shows evidence of re
newed lite.
An Incorrigible Son.
Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 16. When the case of
W. S. Hall, charged with stealing gold watches, in
connection with his pal "Dorscy," came up In
the Criminal Court, defendant's counsel read an
affidavit of Hall's father, asking that a reasonable
bond be fixed for his son, and the case be con
tinued until the next term. Hall's aged faUier
stated tbat he is a minister of the Gospel at
BloomfieUl, Ky.: that his son was a member of
his churth in good standing, and that if his son
was guilty ot the charges alleged, it was
through an effort to "maintain himself in
a circle which his means will not admit
of. His son had heretofore borne a good
character, and referred to prominent citizens of
Louisville to sustain this assertion. He also stat
ed that he once owned considerable property,
but having sirved in the Confederate army ail
had been lost, and that that he now has a wife
and six children to support.
Defendant's case was continued until January
21, as was also the case of Dorscy. Young Hall
seems incorrigible, and manifested but little feel
ing toward his father when the latter talked to
him about the web in which he had entangled
himself. W.S. Hall and Dorsey had been cutting
abigdashin high society when their thievery
was discovered and they were arrested.

Cuica;o, Jan. 16. The Trustees of the Grant
monument fund to-day considered the numerous
plans submitted for the statue in Lincoln Park.
The following resolutions were adopted;
Kesolved, That after a careful and faithful ex
amination and consideration of the many artistic

the amount of funds collected lor the purpose.
Loss by Fire,
St. Lot is, Jan. 16. A fire alarm shortly before 3
o'clock this morning summoned a large part of
the Fire Department to the large four-story build
ing, Nos. Zi, 25 and U" South Fourth street, which
was then in flames and which was completely de
stroyed, leaving nothing except the walls stand
ing The first floor ami cellar of the building was
occupied bv Catfarata, Sous & Co., extensive fruit
dealers, and the three upper doors bvtho Texas
and St. Louis Rarrow-Gauge Railroad Company.
The tire started in the basement aud spread rap
idly, despite the etl'orts of the firemen, to the
Moors above, which poon Hell in. Mr. Caffarata

his stock sutferd to the amount of several thou
sand dollars. The loss to tha Texas and St. Louis
Narrow-Gauge Kailroad Company and to the

store and stock was comparatively very slight.
The Colored Exodus From North Carolin'!
Charlotte, Ji. C, Jan. 16. The exodus of col
ored laborora from North Carolina for points west
is beginning to excite some interest. Charlotte
is the railroad center and it is here emigration
parties are made up and the railroads meet and
arrange for their transportation. Not less than
3,000 have left the State, mostly for Arkansas and
Kansas. But there seems to be no further de
mand for them in Kansas and they are going to
California. Last night seventy were turned oer
to the Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific roads for
transportation to California. This batch of emi
grants are bound for Los Angeles, having con
tracted to work in the vineyards and hop fields
of H F. Baldwin, who owns over two million
acres of land. According to the agreement made
with Mr. Baldwin, through his agents before leav
ing here, they are to get SI- per month for the
first year, vwith board and house free. Ur. Bald

Fatally Frozen In Her lied.
S ranton, Pa., Jan. 16. An old woman named
Walsh was frozen to death in the miserable
home in which she lived in the Seventh Ward of
this city, Friday night. The windows of the
wretched building had been smashed."by boys and
the place was exposed to the fury of the elements.
The thermometer registered fourteen degrees be
l"w zero, and in the intense cold the poor
woman's limbs were frozeu. A rough cot, devoid
of covering, served for her bed, and her compan
ion was another old woman, named Day, who
was aroused by her cries. Mrs. Day says that the
stricken woman shivered frantically, tore her
scanty clothing and tumbled from her cot, her
face coming in contact with the base of the stove.
Mrs. Walsh was speechless several hours before
death relieved her of pain. The case is a most
pitiful one.
Shot and Killed.
Special to the Sentinel.
Attica, Ind., Jan. 16. About 3 o'clock this
afternoon John Rhinehart, bridge watchman on
the Wabash Road, shot Henry Ludd, a laborer.
The ball entered over the right eye, producing
death instantly. Rhinehart was trying collect a
board bill and upon refusal to pvy shot him.

A HELP TO GOOD DIGESTION.
In the Itritisu Medical Journal Dr. W;
Po'oerts, of l'n'land. discusses the elTeet of
Lquors, tea coffee and cocoa on digestion. All
of them retard the chemical processes, but
mo.-t of them stimulate the glandular activi
ty and muscular contractions. Distilled
spirits retard the salivary or peptic digestion
but slightly when sparingly used.
Wines were found to be highlj injurious to
salivary digestion. On peptic digestion all
w ines exert a retarding influence. They stim-
uiaie tbe glandular aud muscular activity of
the stomach. Effervescent wines exert the
greatest amount of good with the least harm
to digestion. "When one's digestion is out ol
order everything goes awry, unless, as in the
case of T. T. Seais, of Bellaire, O., who had
Lad dysiepsia for seven years, the digestive
apparatus is kept in apple-pie eating order by
Warner's Tippecanoe, the best appetite pro
ducer and regulator in the world.
Tea, even in minute quantities, completely
paralv.es the ac tion of the saliva. The tan
nin in strong tea is injurious. "Weak tea
should be used, if at all. btrong coffee and
cocoa arejalso injurious if used in excess.

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES.
The Duty of the People at the Next Elec
tion,
ICommunicated.
The experience of the past year has dem
onstrated the necessity of the people giving
due attention to a proper selection of men
for Township Trustees for the next two
years. Out of the eleven hundred Trustees
in the State only a few have proved them
selves dishonest. The few who issued fraud
ulent warrants demonstrated the weakness of
the law regulating their official action, and
the losses resulting from their dishonest deal
ings haye aroused the people to a determina
tion to secure a change in the law.
It is my intention to point out a caus3 of
much greater loss to. the people, not result,
ing from a deficiency in the law, but in the
failure of the voters to act upon the well
established principle of selecting men, quali
fied , by training or experience to discharge
the duties of the office.
In our individual affairs each man is anx
ious to secure the lest and most efficient
service possible for the money expended.
No sensible man employs a quack in
preference to a good physician, yet a
quack is simply an untrained, inexperi
enced doctor. Nor will he employ a
poor ' lawyer when a good one can be
had for the same fee. Xo successful business
man entrusts his affairs with an inexperi
enced clerk or agent. The employment of
experienced men for superintendents is the
uniform practice in all our individual busi
ness. If this be the only safe rule in our private
business, is it not equally so in our public
affairs?
It we desire our public business managed
with skill and judgment, we must act on this
sound princf pie aud select only such men as
have been qualified, for the work, by train
ing or experience.
We never make the mistake of selecting a
merchant or farmer for the office of judge
in our courts, no matter how scholarly,
honest or wise, for the simple reason that
men of these classes are not sufficiently
versed in the laws which a judge is elected
to administer.
We select all our judges from the one class
whose business trains and qualifies its mem
bers to discharge the responsibilities of the
office. Shall we be less wise in selecting
men for the responsible duties of Township
Trustee?
It is admitted that the efficiency of our
schools is a matter of the greatest import
ance. The law gives Trustees general supervision
of the schools of their respective corpora
tions. A little reflection upon the extent of
their powers and duties will enable us to
comprehend the necessity for electing men
who are specially qualified by training or ex
perience to do tiie work of the office well.
1. They must select and employ teachers,
and should therefore be able to judge of the
kind of work they do in the school room.
Without experience in teaching they can be
but poorly qualified to judge of the merits
of teachers.
2. As members of the Board of E Jucatiou
they are required to select text-books, whic h
no one is prepared to do unless he be thor
oughly versed in the science and practice of
teaching, ami possesses a know.' edge of the
subjects taught.
ö. ihey must also irame and adopt a
course of study for the schools of the county,
which should be done by the beöt and ablest
educators.
4. They must select school ground and
build school-houses, requiring a knovrle ltre
of the best methods of lighting and ventilat
ing the rooms as well as. good judgment in
the location of well and out-houses.
Xhey are required also to select and pur
chase necessary school furniture and appa
ratus, yet without experience or training
they can know . very little of what is neces
sary, and less of its real value. Experience
has proved how little the average Trustee
knows of what is necessary in a school
room, and the people have been taxed enor
mous sums to pay for worthless apparatus,
while the teachers and children are in need
of important things which Trustees consider
of little importance.
The writer knows that i one of the
smaller counties of this State the4Truslees,
though honest men and of average intelli
gence, who have done as well as could be ex
pected, are, and have been almost invariably
farmers or merchants, who never taught
school a day nor did they ever do anything
to fit them for the office. Some of them are
poorly educated, and perform its simplest
duties with trouble. They sought the office
for the money and honors, with the popu
lar notion that anybody can perform the
duties of Trustee.
Within the past eight yeajs there has been
expended in that county about four thousand
dollars oh five kinds of articles that were al
most useless, yet the schools lack many
necessary articles. Many have no diction
aries, and not a school in the county has a
cyclopedia. Not less than five thousand dol
lars have been thrown away for useless ap
paratus,' and much more wasted on third
class teachers, when a little advance ia
wages would have secured the services of
good teachers.
I am informed that the custom of electing
inexperienced men prevails in the other
counties of the State with similar results.
Thousands of dollars wasted, and the schools
weakened, because of inexperienced trustees.
Prominent men have pointed out this cause
of wasteful expenditure of money, as well as
its effect in weakening our schools. Ex
Superintendent John M. Bloss recently ex
pressed the opinion that "more money has
been wasted than was ever stolen," aud if
every county in the State has fared like this
one, there has been from four to eight thou
sand dollars wasted to everv one stolen.
Another leading educator says
want of special knowledge on the
"That
part of
such officers is the chief weakness of our com
mon schools."
Another says: "If any good results are to
be achieved In connection with our school
work, it must be by leaving the practical
management of schools to men of experience
in that line of business."
These words of wisdom from our ablest
thinkers poiat clearly to the cause and the
remedy. The cause of the principal weak
ness in our schools, and of a lavish waste of
the people's money, is found to be the inex
perience of Trustees in the management of
schools, in their lack of special knowledge of
their needs and requirements. The remedy is
plain, and political parties should not fail
to place men on their tickets whose
fitness for the office of Trustee is beyond
question j ?H irbosc pecUt knowledge en-
ablps them to select the best teachers avail
able: men who know the amount and kind
of apparatus needed to supply each school;
men who will strengthen the schools by em
ploying good teachers only, and supplying
them with all needful appliances for effi
cient work, and at the same time save the
hundreds of dollars usually spent for rubbish
by Trustees who know no better.
The political party that ignores this vital
question, and nominates John, the farmer,
Jacob, the merchant, or James, the lawyer,
who knows as little of how to manage the
schools as he does an ocean steamer, desei ves
to be beaten. The success of one's party is
desirable, but the success of the schools is
more desirable, and very few true men will
permit the politician to supersede t'jt- pat
iiot, or, in other words, few true men will
refuse to support the opposite candidate if
such a course is necessary to place t,he schools
in better hands. Trustees are essentialia
school officers, and parties are not at issue oil
school questions; but the people desire their
schools to be as good as possible, and their
money properly expended. Place the schools
under the control of experienced men in
school work and make better schools at
much less expense. A "Citizen.

CHICAGO SALOONS.
An Order From the Chief of Police to 1'ull
1owd the Wind.
Chicago, Jan. 1G. The following order was pre
pared by the Chief of Police to-day and conies
were sent to all the Captains this afternoon:
Chicago, Jan. 16, lsil.
To Captain commanding precinct:
8ik section 1. SM), Article 5i, of the Municipal
code, provides that all doors opening out in any
street from aloons, barrooms, or places where
liquors are sold, shall be kept closed on Snndav.
aud that all windows owning upon any street
from such bar or room where liquors are sold,
shall on Sunday be covered with blinds, shutters
or curtains so as to obstruct the view from the
inside of such rooms. You will see that this ordi
nance is strictly enforced throughout your pre
cinct on and after January 23, and promptly pros
ecute all persons violating its provisions.
FitEnrairK EBFK?oi.D.uera Superintendent.
WhMi t'hief Ebersold was asked why he 5ad
issued this order, and if it meant the inaugura
tion of a positive effort to enforee the Sunday
law, such as was made when Mr. Medill was
Ma vor and Elmer Washburn was Superintendent
of i'olice. lie begged to be excused from talking
about the matter. The order could speak for it
self. He had nothing to say to anybody except
members of the police force.
Yhen Mayor llarrlson was asked to iutepret
the new order he said the law did not require the
closiug up of the business of the saloons ou the
days preferred, but simply that the doors should
be closed and the blinds drawn, so that tnoe
passing by should not be dis'urbed by
people going in or out, or the confusion that
might be going on within. He would see that the
law was faithfully obeyed, more strictly than the
12 o'clock law. "There were be no special liberties
or privileges extended to any class of saloon
keepers. The cau-e of the order is attributed to
the fact that a citizens movement was recently
started to compel the enforcement of the State and
city laws, throuuh the medium of the courts, ow
iug to the alleged refusal of the authorities to do
so. For several weeks the police have been clos
ing the saloons at niidnieht, a late Grand Jury
baving condemned the police investigation of the
midnight places. The local press has asserted,
however, that saloons owned by members of the
Chicago City Council have beeu, in a measure, ex
empt irom this order, and that when poltcemen
arrested their barkeepers, the officers were repri
manded and nut on other beats. The order in
structing the closing of the front doors of saloons
on Sunday, however has occasioned surprise, ow
ing to the fact that for so long a period no attempt
bad been made to enforce it.
An Action for Criminal LibeL
Newbi rg, Jan. 16. Nelson L. Tuck, one of the
proprietors of the Tnck Brothes' Skating Rink, oa
Lander street, has been arrested for malicious
libel, the complainant being William II. Keefe,
publisher of tbe Daily News, of this citv. Tuck
was held to bail to appear before the Grand Jury.
Some weeks ago Keefe tried to collect an adver
tising bill of Tuck. Failing in which he g t out

Suit to Recover Property.
St. Pai l, Minn., Jan. 1. An imiortautsuit in
volving the title of some valualde prooerty in Du
luth has been instituted in the St. Paul courts and
was taken up for trial to-day. It Is the suit of
rredenck rrentiee, of Toiedo. against the St.

How in a School-House.
Special to the Sentinel.
Va-h!Nc;tox, Ind., Jan. 10. Jcsiah Allen, a
teacher of this county, expelled fram hi-! school
ou last Wednesday Frank and Lewis Billing?, aged
respectively fifteen and seventeen years. They
bad violated the rules of the school by che wing
tobacco in the school room. Y'ouns America,
true to its instinct, would not obey orders, butje
turned to school yesterday raoruin? as usual.
Mr. Allen attempted to re-move one
ot.them from the school room, when he was
struck on the back of the head by a billy. The
blow to dazed him that he did not know what im
mediately followed, but when the melee was over
he found" that he had also been struck in the fore
head with some sharp instrument, and his assail
ants were making a disorderly retreat. The eae
is a serious one. The Billinjrses will be arretted
on a charge of assault with intent to kill. Allen
has the sympathy of the entire neighborhood.
Senteneed to the Penitentiary.
Chicago, Jan. 16. The motion for a new trial
in the case of Benjamin T. 0. Hubbard, the de
faulting cashier of the First National Bank of
Monmouth, came up unexpectedly before Judne
Blodgett yesterday afternoon. The Court over
ruled the motion and sentenced Hubbard to
seven years in the Joliet Penitentiary. Hubbard
took his sentence without apparent feeling aud
was taken back to jail. He is to be removed to
Joliet in five days. Hubbard was convicted on
nearly all the counts of the indictments charging
him with making false returns to the Comptroller
of the Treasurer and the embezzlement of the
amOUht embezzled, about 11N.000. The trial at
tracted considerable attention when it was ou
several weeks ago.
Female Pensioner in Trouble.
Nashviu e, Tenn., Jan. 16. United 'fcUtes Dep
uty Marshals yesterday arrea'ed a woman named
Mrs. Mary Humphrey, for defrßuding the Govern
ment. For the past fifteen years Mr?. Humphreys
has been drawing a pension as the surviving rela
tive of a Federal soldier, notwithstanding that
she doffed the weeds of widowhood over twelve
years ago, and her second husband is now in Indi
ana. To assist the working of the fraud she left
her hrisband in Indiana and came to this state,
and rented a farm near Tullahoma. Her arrest
created quite a sensation In the neighborhood
where she has been living. She left for Indiana iu
custody of the Marshals last night.
Corn and Hog Crop.
Chicago, Jan. 15. The Times of this morning
gives reports from nearly 500 points as to the crop
of corn and hogs in the Northwest and Southwest.
It appears that the yield of corn has been overesti
mated and its quality ranked too high. Ohio and
Indiana tarmers have sold more freely than those
of other States. The bog cholera has made its
appearance in every State of the corn belt, forcing
hogs upon the market much more rapidly than is
usual, and it is probable that the receipts at the
chief packing points for the remainder ot the sea
son will be less than last year.
Victims of the Ice King.
Petersburg, Va., Jan. 16. Henry Jones, Thomas-
Johnson and Richard Brown, living in Dunwid
dle county, attended a dance Thursday which
was kept np until a late hour, when they started

the cold the three sought shelter In a stable,
where they were, yesterday, found frozen to death.
