Ivanhoo correspondence Morning News,
Aug. IS: On Saturday morning, Aug. 16, our
usually quiet community was startled by the
report that one negro had shot and seriously
injured another at the turpentine still of
Messrs. Wood A Cos. Investigation proved
the report to be true. It seems that Rufus
Ash and William Hughes, both colored, and in
the employ of .Messrs. Wood A Cos., became
involved in a dispute about the right of sole
occupancy of a hut which they were at the
time jointly occupying with their wives.
Rufus marched off tonne of the other shanties,
Itorrowed a gun under the pretense of wish
ing to go hunting, returned and deliberately
walking up within a few feet of his frien.'l
Hill dis -barged a heavy load of ”1)1116 whist
lers" into hi* right *leg. Mr. Robinson, a
memlierof the firm of Mood A t 0., happened
to tie -landing near, and wrested the gun
from the bands of tlie blood-thirstV fiend,
who. it seems, was about to discharge the
other load into his already fallen victim,
placed his left hand in the criminal's collar
and ordered hint to surrender. Ilut Rufus
had concluded that it would lie safer for him
to leave, and after some struggling succeeded
in breaking loose, and effected his escape into
a thick swamp near by. Mr. R.
savs he could easily have stopped him
with tha other load, but did not wish to
imbrue his hands in one negro’s blood to
avenge another. Messrs. Wood A Cos. have
offered a re wax! of 125 for the arrest of Rufus
Ash. a black negro, about 5 feet 10 inches high,
rather thick set, weighing aliout 160 pounds,
mouth remarkably large and lipsthick.a slight
moustache, face otherwise smooth. Dr. M.
L. Boyd was summoned to attend tlie wound
ed negro and promptly amputated the man
gled leg. William is doing well at this writ
ing. and says he wouhl like to put Rufus ex
actly ill Uis fix.
h .rry County Vetc*: Borne one has written
a hi-tory of the ri-e, progress and downfall of
tin- Kttklnx Klan. liul he should publish anew
edition, and add a fresh chapter or two. The
organization still exists, and is in n|icration
in this county, though it is laboring just now
ii inter adverse circumstances. Last Wednes
day night, lie!wren midnight and day, a body
of masked men—eight in number—armed with
revolvers and fourteen bottles of whisky, en
tered some negro hon-es at I’arkville, 5’ miles
north of this place, while the inmates were in
lied, and shot among them promiscuously.
Two of the unoffending people were wounded,
a man slightly, a boy about 15 years of age
mortally, who has since died. Several of the
suspected parties have been arrested on war
ran s f..r wife beating, riot, assault with in
tent to kill and murder. They did the shoot
ing by the light of a flambeau, eomposed
of material saturated with kerosene
oil and wrapped around a long s.ick. Previ
ous to dying the lioy identified Allen Yancy
as the pariv who shot the fatal ball; he said
Vancy’s mask fell off aliout the time he shot.
Yancy is in jail. Abe Blocker, the leader of
the klan, was arrested also, but escaped from
his guard. It is thought that Alic will return
and turn state’s witness; he did that once.
Green Archer, Gala; Harris, Allen Yancy,
Wa-h Blocker, Lewis Brown, Marshall Ed
wards, uake Garrett, Joe Fisher and others
are implicated. The most of these parties
were arrested and had tlieir committing trial
liefore Just ice Thigpen,assisted by Judge! art
ledge, of Morgan. Allen Yancy was commit
ted on a charge of assault with'intent to mur
der. hut as tlie murdered lmy has since died,
I supiio-e the greater crime will absorb the
less. Gabo Harris amt Wash Blocker were
dismissed on moth n of counsel for the State.
The rest, except Brown and Marshall, for
whom no warrents have been issued, are on
trial to-dav (Tuesday) I efore Judge Cart
ledge. of the County Criminal Court, on
charge of riot—the charge of murder being
investigated incidentally. All the parties
against whom eliarg s have been made are
negroes, and the trial has brought together a
perfect cloud of black faces, hut no feeling
lias been exhibited outside of curiosity, i
heard a part of the testimony, enough to get
the drift of the spirit which actuates the wit
nesses, and 1 must say that 1 have never seen
a set ot witnesses more determined to know
nothing. I have no idea that any one of them
will Ik* convicted, unless Abe Blocker, who is
at large, or Vilen Yancy disgorges.
Atlanta Constitution: An imjiertnut rumor
came to the ears of the Constitution late Mon
day night to the effect that Gov. McDaniel
would, m a day or two. make a levy of a half
mill on the State tax rates, to make up the
deficit in hist year’s expenses, and to provide
for the SIOO,O 0 of Nutting bonds that fall due
next A- ril. At the end of the last session of
the Legislature tint one. the Finance Commit
tee recommended that the State tax rate be re
duced from 3to 2' a mills. This was done. The
Finance Committee held that this levy would
rube sufficient money to run the government.
They le n and, however, on the use of the $750,000
to he paid in for the Alaeon and Bruns
wick road, being used in part to pay
the inteest instead of the principal
of the State debt. Gov. McDaniel held
that the law intended this money should
oe lined for the extinguishment of the debt,
and not for carrying it. The money was
therefore u-e.l to take up State bonds, and
the interest of tlie uebt had to lie pro\ ided
from other source-. In addition to this, after
the reduction of tlie tax, the Legislature
passed the leg and arm soldier's act, theluna
tic asylum act, and the capitol bill. Thecon
sequence was that when tlie taxes were all in
an.l the estimates for tlie year made, there
was found to be a deficit of $160,000. It was
ncc --ary to Imrrow this or see the State’s
credit ruined. The money was liorrowed a
month ago. by an appeal to the
private credit of a number of citi
zens and the emergency tided over. It
is said now, and the rumor comes in such
shape that we credit it fully, that Gov.
McDaniel has determined to prevent such
another crisis by a levy of one-half of one
tenth of 1 percent. This will restore the tax to
throe mills, where it was before the la-t re
duction. llis authority for such a levy is
el.-ar. Tin- act of 1573, under which the Slit
ting bonds were issued, provided that the
Governor shall levy a tax sufficient, aliove the
regular tax, to take up SIOO,OOO of these lionds
oa h year. This act is printed on the lionds.
ITidcr it Gov. Smith levied one year one
tenth of 1 per cent. Gov. Colquitt made
a levy for them two or three times, but tlie
h-y' was included in the usual tax.
While Gov. McDaniel’s judgment was clearlv
against the reduction of tlie tax by
the hist Legislature, lie was indncctl
by arguments and estFiliates to let the
trial Ik- made. It has lieen made.
It proved to be unwise and insufficient. It is
-aid that he will now restore the rate, and we
may count hereafter on the State lieing able
to meet its obligations promptly without re
lying on the personal credit of its citizens. It
is said that the Governor has asked the At
torney General for an opinion on this subject.
There is little doubt that the tax will be
levied. It is estimated that the tax valuation
will be increased to about $15,000,000 for the
year. This ni make the total aliout $315,-
COO.OOO. A half mill on this will yield about
$150,000. This will lie sufficient to run the
government, pay all the appropriations and
the interest, and reduce the debt by taking
up the SIOO,OIO of the Nutting lionds, as pro
vided hy the Nutting act. The levy will be
collectable with the regular tax of next year.

Chief Characteristics Labor’s Sov

Maintained—The Commerce of the
Country Bound to be Fostered.
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 19.—The follow
ing was received to-day by Col. Lamont,
Secretary to Gov. Cleveland, who is at
l. pper Saranac Lake, with instructions to
make it public on its receipt:
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 18, ISB4.
Gentlemen—l have received your com
munication dated July 28, 1884, informing me
of my nomination for the office of President
of the L’nited States by the National Demo
cratic Convention lately assembled at
Chicago. 1 acccept the nomination
with gratefnl appreciation of the
supreme honor conferred and a solemn
son-e of its responsibility, which, in its ac
ceptance. I assume. I have carefully con
sidered the platform adopted by the conven
tion and cordially approve of the fame. So
plain a statement of the Democratic faith
and principles upon which that party appeals
to the suffrages of the people needs no supple
ment or explanation, jt should be remem
bered that the office of President is essentially
executive in its nature.
A PRESIDENT'S DUTY.
The laws enacted by the legislative branch
of the government the Chief Executive is
bound faithfully to enforce, and when the
wisdom of a political party, which selects one
of its members as the nominee for that oflice,
has on'lined its jiolicy and declared its prin
ciples, it seems to me that nothing in the
character of the office or the necessities of
the case requires more from a candidate ac
cepting such a nomination than the sugges
tion of certain well known truths, so vital to
the safetv and welfare of tlie nation that they
cannot lie too often recalled or too seriously
enforced. We proudly call ours a govern
ment by the people. It is not such
when a class is tolerated which
arrogates to itself the management of public
affairs, seeking to control tlie people instead
of representing them. Parties are necessari
ly the outgrowth of institutions, hut a gov
ernment is not by the people when one party
fastens its control upott the country and per
petuates its power by cajoling ami betraying
the people instead of serving them. A gov
ernment is not by the people when a result
which should represent the intelligent will of
free and thinking men is or can bedeterniined
by a shameless corruption of their suffrages.
THE POLITICAL MILLENNIUM.
When an election to office shall lie a selec
tion by the voters of one of their number to
assume for a time a public trust instead of
his dedication to the profession of polities;
when the holders of the ballot, quickened bv
a sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayeit
and pledges broken, and when suffrages shall
be altogether free and uncorrupted, a full
realization of a government by the people
will be at hand, amt of the means to this end
not one would. hi my judgment,
be more effective than an amendment
to tlie constitution disqualifying a President
from re-election. When weconsider the pat
ronage of this great office, the allurements of
power, the temptation to retain public places
once gained, and, more than all. the availa
bility the pafty finds in the incumbent, whom
a horde of officeholders, w ith a zeal born of
benefits received and fostered by the hope of
favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with
money and trained political service, we re
cognize in the eligibility of a President for
re-election a most serious danger to that calm
and liberation and integrity of political action
which must characterize a government by the
peop.e.
LABOR’S STANDING.
A true American sentiment recognizes the
dignity of lalior, and the fact that honor lies
in honest toil. Contented labor is an clement
of national prosperity. Ability to work con
stitutes the capital, and the wages of labor is
the income of a vast number of our popula
tion, and this interest should be zealously
protected. Our workingmen are not asking
unreasonable indulgence, but as intelligent
and manly citizens they seek tlie
same consideration which those demand
who have other interests at stake. They
should receive a full share of the care and at
tention of those who make and execute the
laws, to the end that the wants and needs of
employers and employed shall alike he sub

common heritage of liotli, be advanced.'
IMPORTED CONTRACT LABOR.
In relation to this subject, while we should
not discourage tlie immigration of those who
come to acknowledge a'legianee to our gov
ernment and add to pur citizen population,
yet, as a means of protection
to our working men, a different rule
should prevail concerning those who, if
they come or are brought to our land,
do not intend to become Americans, but
will injuriously compete with those entitled
to our field of'labor. In a letter accepting
the nomination to the office of Governor,
nearly two years age, I made the following
statement, to which I have adhered: “The
laiioring classes constitute the main part of our
population. They should he protected in their
i fforts peaceably to attest tlieir rights when
endangered by aggregated capital, and nil
statutes on this subject should recognize the
care of the >tate for honest toil, and he framed
with a view of improving the condition of
workingmen, a proper regard for the welfare
of the workman being inseparably connected
with the integrity of our institutions. None of
our citizens arc more interested than they in
guarding against any errupting influences
which seek to pervert tlie beneficent pur
lio?effof our government, and none should be
more watchful of the artful machinations of
those who allure them to self-inflicted injury.
individual rights.
In a free country the curtailment of the ab
solute right of the" individual should only tie
such as is essential to the peace and good
order of the community. Tre limit between
proper subjects of governmental control, and
those which can be more tit ingly left to the
moral sense and self-imposed restraint of the
citizen, should be carefully kept in
view. Thus laws unnecessarily inter
fering with the habits and customs
of any of our people which are not offensive to
the moral sentiments of the civilized world,
and which are consistent with good citizen
ship and the public welfare, are unwise.
The commerce of the nation ton rrcat ex
tent determines its supremacy, t heap and
easy transportation should he liberallv tos
tered within the limits of the constitution.
The general government should so improve aud
protect its natural water ways as will enable
the producers of the country to reach profit
able markets.
THE PEOPLE’S SERVANTS.
The people pay the wages of the public em
ployes an-i they are entitled to fair and honest
work, which the money thus paid should
command. It is the duty of those entrusted
with the management of these affairs to see
that such public service is forthcoming. The
selection and retention of subordinates in the
government employment should depend on
their ascertained fitness and the value of tlieir
work, and they should be neither expected
nor allowed to do questionable party services.
The interest of the people will he better pro
tected, the estimate of public labor
and duty will be greatly improved, public
employment will be open to all who can dem
onstrate their fitness to enter it. unseemly
scramble for place under the government
with the consequent importunity which em
bitters official life will cease, and’ the public
departments will not be filled with those who
conceive it to be tlieir first duty to aid the
party to which they owe ttietr places, instead
of rendering patient aud honest return to the
people.
WHAT THE COUNTRY WANTS.
1 believe that the public temper is such that
the voters of the land are prepared to support
the party which gives the best promise of ad
ministering the government in the bom st,
simple and plain manner which is consistent
with its character and purposes. They have
learned that mystery and concealment in the
management of tlieir affairs cover tricks and
betrayal. The statesmanship they require
consists in honesty and frugality, a prompt
response to the needs of the' people as tliev
arise, and vigilant protection of all tlieir
varied interests. If I should be called
to the chief magistracy of the
nation by the suffrages of "my fellow
citizens, " I will assume the duties
of that high oflice witli a solemn determina
tion to dedicate every effort to my country’s
good, and with an humble reliance upon the
favor and support of the Supreme Being
who, I believe, will always bless tiniest human
endeavor in the conscientious discharge of a
public duty. Grover Cleveland.

FIRST OF THE REPUBLICANS.
Franklin County, Me., Celebrates a Dis
puted Claim.
Strong, Me., Aug. 19.—0n Aug. 7,
1854, a county convention was held here,
which organized in the name of the Re
publican party, nominated a full county
ticket and adopted the RepuDliean plat
form. It is claimed by the people in
Franklin county that this convention gave
birth to the Republican party of the
United States. The claim is disputed,
but the surviving members of the con
vention assert that it was the first to
formally adopt the name Republican, and a
distinctively Republican platform. They
say that no records can be produced to
offset theirs, which they have preserved.
At any rate, they are celebrating the
30th anniversary of the convention to
day. The date’was postponed from the
7th to the 19th. in order not to interfere
with other celebrations. The celebration
is under the direction of a general com
mittee composed of one member from
each town in Franklin county. Hon. J.
W. l’orter, of Strong, acting as Chairman,
and an executive committee of four, Mr.
Blaine, Gov. Robie, and Hannibal Ham
lin, are the chief orators.
MEXICO’S CONSPIRATORS.
No Positive Evidence that Anv of the
Plotters Have Been Shot Y*et.
St. Louis, Aug. 19.—A special Mexican
correspondent of the Globe-Democrat says:
“The rumor on Saturday last that lour
prisoners in tne conspiracy case had been
shot was unfounded. Your correspondent
saw Gen. Chavarrias’ son a few minutes.
He reports that he saw his father yester
day morning, who had been brought back
to his former place of imprisonment
in this city. Gen. Chavarrias sent a pro
test to the government paper, declaring
that he had never had the slightest con
nection with the conspiracy, and knew
nothing of it before his arrest. Francisco
Mejia, the most eminent man among the
alleged conspirators, is confined in the
barracks in this city with several of the
accused conspirators, all guarded by the
Second Regiment ol infantry. A man who
saw Mejia yesterday states that he is still
alive, though reported by certain corre
spondents to have been’shot yesterday.
It is generally believed by citizens here
that some of the prisoners will be shot,
but nobody knows yet who.”
VIRGINIA’S ELECTION LAWS.
The Joint Commissioners Report that
They Believe that no Law is Now in
Force.
Richmond, Aug. 19.—The special Joint
Commissioners of the General Assembly,
appointed to consider the election law of
the State, reported to-day that it was a
matter of grave doubt whether any elec
tion law was now in force in Virginia,
notwithstanding the decision of the Court
of Appeals that the old law was
restored, and for reasons lengthily
given in their report they recom
mend the re-enactment of the old
election law. This law has existed since
1870. The commissioners criticise the
opinion of the court, and say that the
responsibility of the failure to take effect
of the new law passed at the last session,
must rest with the executive, since both
houses passed the bill striking out the
objectionable words in the bill vetoed,
and the executive thought fit to withhold
his approval.
PHILADELPHIA’S POISON PILLS.
The Druggist and his-Clerk Shouldered
with Annie Carroll’s Death.
Philadelphia, Aug. 19.—The coroner
to-day reopened the ease of Annie Car
roll, aged 16 years, who died on Aug. 1
from the effects of poison in the shape of
strychine pills which she took in fun on
tne evening of the day previous to her
death. The young girl and several others
were sitting at a table, when one of them
took one of the pills, as she
was in the habit of doing. The
others bantered her, and the matter
ended in all-present taking a number of
the pellets. The girl Annie Carroll died.
Several others were made critically ill.
It was shown in evidence to-day that a
druggist had, in violation of the law. 6old
the pills without the proper poison label
on the box. Tbe jury returned a verdict
holding the druggist responsible lor
Annie Carroll’s death, and Charles W.
Mengle, tbe drug clerk who sold the pills,
was bailed in $2,000 to await the action of
the grand jury.
EFFECTS OF BUTLER’S RUN.
The Republicans l’rofess to Believe That
it Will Help Blaine.
Washington, Aug. 19.—The statement
telegraphed from here to the effect that
several secret meetings of workingmen,
managed by employes of the government
printing oflice, had been held recently
with a view to starting a local Butler
boom, was pronounced absurd to-day by
the members of the Butler Liberty Club,
who said that there was no occasion for
secrecy, since the government printers
and other Blaine men who had engaged in
the movement understood perfectly well
that they did thereby incur the disap
proval of the Republican powers that be.
On the contrary, they were given to un
derstand that they could not work more
effectively for Blaine than by working lor
Butler, and that their efforts to simulate
a local enthusiasm among workingmen
for Butler had the unqualified approval
of their party and official superiors.

of cholera has occurred in this city. At
any rate, a physician has reported’to the
Coroner that a man who died here this
morning was the victim of Asiatic cholera.
The Coroner has accordingly ordered an
inquest.
An official inquiry into the death shows
that it actually was a case of cholera, but
English in its origin, and not in any re
spect Asiatic cholera. The deceased was
a well sinker, and therefore greatly ex
posed to the inhalation of noxious vapors
and sewer gases. His death is therefore
not the cause of any great alarm.

Legislature anil other leading Republi
cans before adjourning last night adopted

at Bogeida, on the Gold Coast of West
Africa, where the British have a treaty
with the natives. It is said that the Ger

Hag and hoisted that of Germany. Ad
vices from West Africa say that Dr.
Nachtigall, the German commander, has
appeared in a gunboat in the rivers Cam
erons and Billibia of Upper Guinea and
hoisted German flags. These two reports
probably refer to the same thing.
The British authorities from Quittn re
cently visited Bage Ida, a town between
Quitta and Lagos, and at the request of
tue inhabitants hoisted the Union Jack,
indicating English protection. Shortly
afterwards the German war ship Minerve
arrived there, and her crew went on shore,

flag, and then hoisted the German colors.
A commission has gone from Quitta to in

report received this afternoon.

w’ill appeal to the Secretary of State. He

The Department of the Interior, says a
Washington special of Aug. 15, has es
tablished headquarters of the World’s
Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposi

clerks are here at work preparing the va
rious government exhibits. From the of
ficial in charge it is learned that the Pat
ent Office, Indian Bureau, General Land
Office, Bureau of Education, Deaf Mute
Asylum, Pension office. United States Ge
ological Survey and Bureau of Ethnolo
gy of the department will have a display.
The chiefs of these bureaus have entered
into a sort of rivalry in the matter of their
respective exhibits.

Patent Office. Some years ago the office
abolished the system of preserving mod
els. and Commissioner Butterworth has
addressed a circular to the leading manu
facturers ot the United States asking for

of manufacturers and inventors. The
General Land Oflice will show maps,
charts and other information as to the
public domain, and the Indian Bureau is
preparing a similar exhibit in regard to
Indian lands and Indian civilization. The
Geological Survey is to put in a most
elaborate exhibit of native minerals and
curiosities, while the Bureau of Ethnol

and mound builders. Col. Stephenson,
chief of this bureau, is now in Arizona

Age Passed , n Good Hand, the Mo-
Broiupt e<l li im to Make

Saratoga and Monmouth Park.
New York, Aug. 19.-A dispatch to
the Associated Press front Troy says
‘‘M .H. Vanderbilt has sold Maud S. to
Robert Bonner. The mare will be retired
from the track.”
lurf. Field, and Farm to-morrow will
publish the following: “Probably no
prominent man ever paid another promi
nent man so marked a compliment as W
H. A .underbill has just paid Mr. Bonner!
Maud S., as intelligent horsemen know,
has the fastest record of any trotter in
the world. She is the only animal that
has trotted a mile in less than 2:10, the
figure that a few years ago was deemed
beyond the reach of a trotting horse.
Mr. \ anderbilt was latelv offered SIOO,OOO
for the great chestnut, but he declined it.
preferring to sell her for less than half
that amount to Mr. Bonner. Last Friday
. r * A anderbilt sent a friend expressly
from Saratoga to inform Mr. Bonner of
these facts, and on Saturday Mr. Bonner
sent his brother David up to Saratoga to
confer with Mr. Vanderbilt. The result
was that Mr. Bonner purchased the mare
on Monday evening, paying $40,000 for
her. OI the seven great trotters who in
succession have broken the record. Flora
Temple, Dexter, Goldsmith’s Maid,
Rants, St. Julien, Jay-Eye-See
and Maud 8., Mr. Homier now
owns three of them, Dexter, Rams, and
MaudS. What a trio! Mr. Bonner was
asked: ‘Suppose Jay-Kye-See should beat
the record ol Maud S., what would you
dothen?’ His answer was characteristic:
’Buy him, too, ir I could, or put Maud S.
into training at some good track, like tho
Charter Oak at Hartford, and give the
public a free exhibition of speed.’ ”
BONNER’S INTENTIONS.
Mr. Bonner said to-night that he would
keep the mare for a few days for road
purposes, and then he would send her to
one of his farms and put her iu training.
Then he would give a public exhibition
with her to show what she can do in beat
ing her accord at 2:09%. lie said that
she could in 2:08 or 2:07.
and he to satisfy himself
as to her speed. He would
never allow Maud S. to trot tor money, or
even for a prize. If Jay-Eve-See beat
Maud S.’s time he would try to beat him.
He did not enter into any formal agree
ment with Mr. Vanderbilt to keep Maud
S. out of a match for money, but he pre
sumed that Mr. Vanderbilt knew his
word well enough to be sure that he
(Bonner) would do nothing of the kind.

The adulteration of edibles in Paris is al
most incredible. This alone accounts for the
fact, however, that mussels, mushrooms,
truillcs, etc., are considered the Parisian’s
daily fare, whether tie dines at fixed price for
1 fr. 15c., or ala carte at Bignou’s. That the
indescribable substitute whicn the former gets
dished up is entirely innocent of contact with
the snout of the l’erigord hog need not be
said, ff he be very fortunate, lie gets either
potatoes or .Jerusalem artichokes, soaked in
some preparation of ammoniac or uric acid.
The nation, which during the time of tho
siege manufactured sausages of longitudinal
s'ripsof flannel, flavored with salt, pepper
and cinnamon, and sold them to another part
of the nation, who devoured them with relish,
is assuredly ingenious enough to make truffles.
Of the c/mrcuterie which the Parisian eats, it
were best not to speak. Boar’s head, with
pistachio nut made out of gelatine and dried
pounded chestnuts, colored green, is one of the
smallest deceptions practiced upon him. As
for his vegetables, be they ever so cheap and
fresh, he is sure to get them mixed with tinned
ones, and the statement holds goods with very
expensive restaurants.
For some little time back there has been
taking place a mysterious expulsion of Rus
sians from Berlin. Russian subjects of vari
ous grade-, who have lived long in that city—
some of them for 15 years—have suddenly re
ceived orders to quit from the Berlin police.
Some of them are furnished with cards, which
allow them to continue their residence there
for short periods, varying from a year to a
fortnight; while others are summarily re
quired to depart without more ado. Among
iho expelled are Jews and Gentiles, rich ana
poor, students and artisans, single and
married persons, women and children, politi
cal suspects and political innocents, people
with good testimonials, and people with had
ones. Some of these victims were roused out
of their beds in the early morning and carted
away in | olice vans to have their fate de
clared to them. The proceedings are a puzzle.
The police authorities themselves are as close
on the subject as the grave.
