The Majority Sustain the Charges and Recommend Removal and ( riininal Prosecution—The Minority I>ls sents —Congress’ Last Days. Washington, Feb. 28.—Representative Springer, on behalf of himself and Represen tative Van Alstyne, of the sub-oommittee ap pointed to investigate t he conduct of Marshal Lot Wright in the Ohio October election, has prepared a report. Representative Stewart, the remaining member of the sub-committee, will offer a minority report when the subject is submitted to the full committee on expen ditures in the department of justice. The members of the committee have not received the printed testimony taken in the investiga tion. They assort that they will not agree to any report until they have had an opportun ity to examine it. Springer will submit the views prepared by himself and agreed to by Van Alstyne at n meeting of the full committee. He declines to give the rejMtrt to the public until it has re ceived the attention of his committee. It is a ver; lon r document, and contains a rev nt ■ t ' ton; Liken both in h • i .c . a cmnati. It concludes as follows: “From the testimony taken by your com mittee it will appear that the deputy marshals appointed by Marshal Wright were largely in excess ui the necessities of the situation; that they were appointed as republican partisans and |K>litical workers, and in most case- prostituted their official position to partisan ends; that they were armed with revolvers and other deadly weapons fur nished by the national committee of the re publican party; that many of such deputy marshals so apjxiinted and armed were notor ious criminals and mon known to possess vi cious and brutal habits, and. many of them were non-residents of the state of (>hio; tliat many of such deputy marshals, acting under orders from Marshal Wright, aided, abetted, | and encouraged fraudulent voting, the intim idation of voters, and committed gross out rages uj>on the elective franchise and rights of honest voters: that the employment and j>ay ment of the special deputy marshals on the d. after the ele*-ion was without legal warrant, and all moneys paid such |>er sons for services that day were illegal, and the sums so pad should I>e returned to the United States tret..- ry; that the apjiointmnut of deputy marshals who were non-residents of the state of Ohio was without warrant, and constituted gross usurpation of authority, and that the appointment of deputy marshals was in many ’’ re-o an irregular, iiie gal and abuse of his official trust. Wherefore your committee ar • of the opin. j dial L>t Wrigli:. Uninsi States mashal for the southern district o! Ohio, ha< bet n shown by the Ussumony to have comini c’d hi;. : crimes and misde nu'anorw; that he has lx en guilty of usurpa tion of uut Lori t\ and violation of law in the manner set forth in the preamble to the reso- i lution adopted by the house of representatives on the 2d <»f lit •• uriber last. Tn view of the impracticable nature of impeachment pro ce 'dings, and especially at this late day of this congress, your committee will not recom mend the adoption < f articles of impeachment in his case, but they do recommend the | adoption of the following resolution: ’‘That the clerk oi the house of representa tives I* instructed to transmit a copy of the rejMirt and testimony in the case of Lot Wright. United States marshal for the South ern district of ’ >hio, to the president of the Unit* 4 States: and that the president l»e re- i speed v ely requested to immediately remove said Wrig-bt from office, and cause the after- ’ ney general to institute such criminal pro ceedings ■ i ihe courts as may l»e deemed nec essary in order to recover the sums illegally paid out by him as the facts in the case may require.” Stewart, it is understood, will radically dis sent from Springer’s views, and will assert that the latter’s report has no basis to rest . «jX>n in the evidence taken by the sub-com mittee; that, on the contrary, there was good reasca fpr the employment of deputy mar shals, and that there wn< no intimidation and no oitf < ,e-t<pon suifra except the arrest of republicans bv the police to prevent their voting, and a vaults upon peacable citizens by democratic thugs. CONGRESS’ CLOSING DAYS. » I’asnagr of the Naval Bill and a Fight on , the Expo-Uiou Relief Clause. Washington, Feb. 28.—After some debate on the prrci.Hlpncte of bills, on Mr. Hale’s mo- ! tion, the senate pr< »ov«.*de<i to the consideration of the naval bill, and the senate amendments thei etz* were read. On motion of Mr. Hale, an appropriation of $112,000 was addl'd to the bill for the pur chase of Ericsson’s submarine gun. The bill with all the senate amendments was adoptel, the only other important change being an in crease in the tonnage ofthe two crusier.s pro vided for. The senate then proceeded to tho consideration of executive business. Home. Washington, Feb. 28.—The house passed the senate resolution authorizing the loan of flags for the inaugural ceremonies. The sundry civil appropriation bill came up ' and the substitute for the exposition clause proposed by Mr. Horr was adopted. It ap propriates $300,000, requiring it to be applied first, to the payment of outstanding claims ; outside the state of Louisiana; second, to the payment of all premiums heretofore or here- ' after to be awarded. Mr. Potter (N. Y.) moved to strike out tha clause thus amended. Lost. On the question of the engrossment and third reading of the bill, Mr. White (Ky.) de manded the reading of the engrossed bill. Mr. Randall (Pa.) said that, anticipating that some member would make this demand, the precaution had been taken to have the bill engrossed, but to avoid delay he moved to suspend the rules and dispense with the third reading. Mr. White demanded a second, which was ordered, which gave him fifteen minutes to oppose the motion to suspend. Osborne Wanted for Bigamy. Columbus, 0., F sb. 28.—There are some new developments in th j Osborne affair. It is stated now that he has been in this city since last week, notwithstanding the statement that he had gone away to clear up his record and then claim his bride, whom he married at Bucyrus. Obi. Sterling, the late guardian of .Miss Kearsley, and Adjutant General Finley went before Esquire McFadden and had a warrant issued for Osborne on a charge of bigamy. The warrant was put in the hands of a constable, but tvhen he went to look for Osborne tho bird had flown. The constable left the city on a north-bound train, expect ing to capture his man at Upper Sandusky or Fostoria, and take him from there to Bu cyrus. It is stated that the charge of big amy is based on the statement of a detective who has worked up tho case and discovered that Osborne has a wifein Pennsylvania, hav ing been married there about three years ago. . _ INAUGURAL DECORATIONS. Sointi of the Floral Work to be Displayed on the Fourt h of March. New York, Feb. 28.—-During the last week, fri'in daylight to dark, a crowd has hu». r around the window * of a prominet Bow er v florist, 'i’hey stopped to look at the floral designs prepared for the inauguration ball at the order of the comrunittee of arrange ments. Those who went inside to get a better view of all the designs exjjosed, viewed with i awe a wire fratne decorated on top with a horse-shoe. This will be a canopy of Howers when it is done, and the presideilt will stand under it. '[’here was a chair, also, in which it was claimed Mr. (‘leveland would rest. As it was about half the size of the governor’s old office chair at Albany, and as it was composed of a wire frame filled in with immortelles, this claim may be taken with skepticism. The frame was purple and the cushions crimson, and when it is finished red roses, pansies and heliotrope will hide the groundwork. This is the case with the other designs. They are all in immortelles, which serve simply to show their forms and coloi’s, and as a soil where fresh and rare flowers may l»e planted. The design for the department of justice is a scale of yell-w, a scroll of white and a purple book rack, on which rests an open book against a scarlet background of immor telle*. Across the book in red letters is eni biazoned. “Fiat Justitia,” and on the scroll, •‘Department of Justice." Two yellow can non, crossed over a royal purple standard and surmounted by a scroll traversed by a quill, is the emblem of the war department. A big y< How standard on which a purple ship with white masts form a bold bas relief, un<l hav 'fi;’ a careless scroll thrown over the top, was iearly meant to typify the American navy. The interior department’s emblem had evi lently taxed the resources of the establish me:;t. Against a purple standard rested a real tree stump, into which a woodman's ax in white had been driven and left. There was a yellow plow at the base, cheek by jowl with a sheaf of wheat. The treasury was repre sented by a purple safe with a white' knob and the usual lettered scroll that nobody might . chink it was a kidney cure ralvertLsenient. ; The state dejjartmeut was very gorgeously i set forth by a white American eagle sur mounting the national arms, and the postofiice !m 1 a sac-simile of a letter with the stamp on nud a nea: |«»sl man’s bag hung over the cor ner of a purple standard with a white satin ribbon. THE GALLOWS CHEATED f»V Neal’s Respite, and Judge Lynch to b<j Invoked. Grayson, Ky., Feb. ..s.—After tho respite < f AVr:.

Myers, got jth floor he liegan abusing members of his own side of the house. Two gentlemen he de nounced as thieves, and charged that they .were introducing Tib; here and receiving ■n-atiou for the &<i ne, and that he could ‘ prove it and als<) give the sum paid for such bills. Dr. Lyle, of Licking county, was de nounced as the Licking county horsethief. Lyle was about to attack Myers, when friends urged him to settle the difficulty elscwhei’e, pleading that the Franklin county member a.-- drunk. Every effort of the speaker oh d t<» restore or ler. Myers sneeringly re i 1 »d to the syieaker ih it he could not run him, oid that he should say just v hat he pleased without let or hindrance. Tho galleries and • obbies were full, many ladies who were on !i he floor being greatly shocked. The meni . s b came di gusted and denounced Myers. I ft is likely that Myers will be officially repri | landed. A Play House in Ruins. i Washington, Feb. 2^.—All the front and ide walls of th>? National Theater, over which was the famous billiard saloon of Miller & Jones, have fallen. Tho scene beggars descrip tion. W. W. Rapley, owner of the theater, estimated the value at $l(X),000. He says the m>urance amounts to about |40,000. The furniture, scenery and properties of Rapley are valued at *50,000. Lotta, the actress, >wned $50,000 of the theater stock. Miller & Jones estimate their loss at upwards of *26,000, part of which is covered by insurance. Nowton Gotthold says everything he had in i • ae world was in the ruins, including the man uscript of anewplav. “A Wayward Woman,” which was to have been produced next sea son. All members of the company lost their : wardrobes. The properties and special scen ery were also destroyed. The loss to the com pany exceeds $12,000. The origin of the lire a mystery. Battle With Our Bird. New York, Feb. 28.—While Israel Platt and Henry Conklin, of Babylon, L. I , went »ut hunting, Conklin discovered an eagle in a tree. He fired at the bird and as it : stretched its wings to fly he fired the other bairel. When the shot struck the eagle it arose in the air, circled two or three times and then shot like an arrow directly at Conk lin. Conklin aimed a blow at the bird with ais gun. The bird passed him. Has tily wheeling it again attacked Conklin, who dipped and fell, and in his fall flung his gun ten feet away. A fierce struggle between the wounded bird and the . terrified hunter took place, which resulted in the latter being badly wounded and the former being finally stunned by a blow and captuml. The bird was found '» be the largest eagle ever taken alive on Long Island. It measures seven feet six inches from tip to tip. Fat Plum for Found Heirs. Houston, Tex., Feb. 28.-—Since the Perez W. Morton claims against the government for the loss of nine ships by a French fleet, about 1801, have been validated by the jiassage of the French spoliation bill by congress, law yers have been looking up the heirs. Seven ;>f them have been found in Texas, as follows: W. W. Dexter, of Houston. Bradstreet Agency; Mrs. Thomas B. Gale, Houston; Mrs. Joseph F. Campbell, Galveston; Mrs. H. S. Dexter and Samuel, Alfred and Harrietta Dexter, Palestine. These people are all floscly connected, and have in their possession jld family paintings of the Mortons, and papers from Perez W. Morton bearing upon the spoliation claims. The claim is about 120,000,000. These heirs will get a large ihare of this immense sum of money. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING. MARCH 1. 1885. “GOLD BUG CABINET.” DISSATISFIED DEMOCRATS SPEAK IN SILVER TONES, And Jubilate in Criticism —Breakers Ahead and Silvery Rocks But Cleveland Appears to Have the Strength of His Convictions—Gossip. New York. Feb. 2 .—The World prints the following interesting dispatch from its special Washington correspondent: The silver men were triumphant over their success in the house in defeating the proposi tion to place legislation repealing the coinage of the silver d- liar on the sundry civil appro priation bill. The majority obtained by the silver men was quite large. This vote is called a serious setback to tho new adminis tration, on account of the fact that Mr. Cleve land has written a letter to Congressman Warner favoring the suspension of silver coinage. 'This letter was not written to influence leg islation in the house, but was sent in answer to a letter from Judge Reagan, Warner and others, asking Mr. Cleveland to withhold his opinion upon the subject until after the ques tion had received consideration in the house. The fact that Mr. Cleveland declined to accept this suggestion and was very explicit in the decla ion of his own opinion in favor of the suspension of silver coinage shows that he has the coura >f his convictions and that he is not to be controlled in his policy even by a majority of the democrats of the house. It must lie further remembered that his admin istration will have nothing to do with this house. 'The next house is the one that will have to pass upon this question. There has been a great deal of foolish talk on the floor of the house, for some of the silver maniacs of that body have claimed that Mr. Cleveland will now probably call an extra session of con gress for the sole purpose of putting a stop to the silver coinage. Such 1 liocy as that has apparently found some believers. Some silver men among the domocats are very much dis an“>i’U('l o’. >-r ’ ! vela id’s position, but it \/ui be loimc ua vote comes to be taken in the house that tins silver question is not and can not be made a party one. The republicans are as much divided ujx>n that subject as are the democrats. When it comes to a vote ;q'on the inde pendent proportion it will be Lnposible to draw pa: y lines. A number voted against putting th ■ reiioal in the legislative bill for other motives than friendship with the silver men. A number of members do not believe that special legislation sh< uld go into an aj> proyrintion bill; others thought the passage of tit ? >.;;-oj)r ’ion bill mi Jit have been en dang'Ted in the senate by the putting in of this special legislation at this time. The sen ate rules forbid any amendment of the logis lation upon ay t ■■ print ion bills, and if tho sil ver coinage clause had been putin by the house it certainly would have provoked pro tracted debate in tho sen ite. It is true that there are a number of demo crat- who api ar to be more anrious to find matenal lor criticizing the new administrar tion than if it were a republican one. Such a mai: as Judge Reagan speaks of Cleveland's cabinet as a “gold bug cabinet.” Much of this criticism of the house members arises from a certain jealousy of the senate. They claim that he should have consulted with leading house members more than he has, and that he should have come to that body for at least one of his cabinet members. Some of the revenue ref< •rmers are uneasy over Mr. Manning’s -election as secretary of the treas ury, and kike it for granted that he is against them, without waiting to find out exactly. The semi-official announcement in the World of fiv- members of the cabinet, has im pressed the fact upon members of the predom inance of -ciritorial influence in unking up the cabinet. A number of the western mem tiers are displeased over the possible fact that there is to be only one western man in th€ cabinet, and that man not what they consider a representative man. The fact that Thur man and McDonald are to be ignored has added fuel to this fire of cross criticism. The Indiana members do not think that the reason given for not taking McDonald is e good one. They say that there sire no fac tional fights in Indiana, and that if Mr. Mc- Donald is kept out it will be solely owing tc the influence of Mr. and All’s. Hend ricks. All this surface talk may or may not lead to more serious criticism. The cabinet, so far as it is supjxised to Im made up, is made of men who understand the temper of congress and the makeup of the next house. It is not reasonable to suppose in advance cf any action that the administra tion will not be thoroughly in accord with the next house in matters of general policy. Bayard, Garland and Lamar are pronounced revenue reformers; Vilas is also supposed tc be a moderate revenue reformer. Mr. Man ning is the only man suspected of not being an enthusiastic advocate of revenue reform, so it is pretty ciear the democrats show signs of dissatisfaction, such as were exhibited in the house Thursday. Mr. Cleveland's lettei is in strict conformity with the old hard money gold standard doctrine of the demo cratic party of the past. The silver men among the democrats have kindly volunteered to act as guard!am of Mr. Cleveland. All the men who signed Judge Reagan’s letter to Mr. Cleveland met to protest against the publication of the an swer received from Albany Wednesday night. Mr. Warner, who holds the letter, favors its publication, but as all the signers of the first letter object strenuously, Mr. Warner tele graphed Mr. Cleveland upon the subject. He replied, saying: “I have no objection to the publication ui the letter." Even this was not enough. The silver mani acs still protested against the publication. They say that it must not be printed unless Mr. Cleveland orders it. They would not as sume the awful responsibility of permitting such a “gold bug” opinion to go forth in ad vance of the inaugural. They would still give Mr. Cleveland grace, hoping that he would change at the last moment. They said they would not be pai uies to the responsibly. Mr. Cleveland must himself give out the letter. This al> surd attempt to suppress the letter will only result in making the silver men supremely ridiculous. Os course the letter can not be prevented from reaching the public, and ol course Mr. Cleveland will not change his “gold bug” decision. Bell Punches Wanted. New Orleans, Feb. 28.—The official re turns of the gate receipts at the exposition during the past week have just been pub fished, an<l are causing considerable com ment. On the 17th it was published that 125,- 000 people were in attendance Monday, where as the gate receipts show only $10,482. There were over 40,000 paying admissions on the 16 th, without doubt. It is reported that then was over $7,000 taken in at one gate, and there were five gates in operation. Some ol the officials claim there is a mistake in the re turns, while others boldly assert that there bas been a clean steai Many of the exhibit ors and some of the state commissioners say they expect tho final oraah to come in a fe« days. J ALL LONDON EXCITED Ou tho Possibility of Defeat — 1 Buller Safe -Anarchists Raided. London, Feb. 28.—Verbatim reports of the discussion in the houses of lords and commons on the vote of censure arc published through out England, and the excitement consequent on the possible defeat of the government is in tense. In all places of public resort the one topic of discussion is the censure ' motion. Even in the streets of London and other large cities. ? knots of men gather to discuss Gladstone’,* j chances. Preparation* are bei'i •, made by the large dailies for the publication of sjiecial r editions should a division be reached in decent . season. At all the clubs in the west end, 2 progress of the debate will be followed by the . “tape” for th-' tionefit of the crowds who sur } round each ticker. The difficulty of obtaining 3 admission to the house of parliament apj>ears . to have the effect of increasing the public in . terest in the battle between oppoMng parties.- j r Swiss Anarchists Raided. Berne, Feb. 28.—The whole of Switzer . land was thrown into a state of semi-panic -by a well planned raid on members of an [ archist societies. Wholesale arrests were I marie in all sections of the country at the . same moment, and the plans of the police were so well laid, and the secret of the in t tended descent was so closely kept, that . nearly all the prisoners were taken from their j beds. Ten arrests were made in Berne, and , in other cities and towns where the anai ch -3 ical propaganda has taken root the numbers , i were in about tho same proportion. What t ' course the government intends to pursue in . ; the matter of punishment further than the i 1 usual expulsion has not been made public, but • a firm determination to stamp out anarchism i has evidently been reached. i i t ‘ Buller*** Successful Retreat. t 1 London, Feb. 28.—A dispatch from Gen. I j Wolseley to the war office states that Gen. . I Buller has evacuated his intrenched position , 1 at Abu Klea and reached Gadkul in safety. . ■ The movement was accomplirhed with jxjr . j feet success and without a casualty of any description. During the march the Arab ; ; Scouts were constantly seen. Buller’s force ( i Is now believed to be perfectly safe. The . march from Gadkul to Korli, whore he will join ;he main force, will probably l>e accom- I plished with comparative ease. The Shoeburyncss Explosion. London, Fob. 28.—Among those who lost 1 their lives by the explosion in the royal school ; of gunnery at Shoeburyness are Col. Fox Strangeways, commandant of the school, and Col. Lyon, head of the royal laboratory at ’ Woolwich. Both men had their legs torn from their bodies and were otherwise muti ! lated. The exact number of persons killed or . injured by the explosion lias ir -t yet been learned. PIPE LINE IN THE DESERT. , American Engines to rump Water for the British From Suakim to Berber. London, Feb. 28. —The Briti: h government ■ is actively moving to construe: a pipe line I from Suakim on the Red sea to Berbjr on the ■ Nile for supplying Gen. Graham’s army with i water on ita advance across thu desert to join i Wolseley. The war office after long considar- 1 ation sanctioned the plan some time ago. I Contracts for the pumping er.y in- > have been ' made with the house of Henry R. Worthing i ton, of New York. A dozen or twenty en- I gines will probably be required of from 150 to : 200 horse power each. By th- tor ms of the ! contract an engine is to be shipped each week , until its terms are fulfilled. The government has received advices that the first one was dis ; patched by the Adriatic last Saturday. All the leading pipe mamtfai tn-ers of the i United States have submitted estimates for ■ the fine to the government, but so far no orders have been placed here or abroad. The i pipe will be four inches in diameter—the same size as the pipes through which oil is pumped from the Pennsylvania licids to the seaboard, a longer distance than the proposed water line. The contract for the pipe will amoiint to about $750,000, and there is a strong feeling among officials that English manufacturers should have the work. It is a question with some engineers, however, if a portion, at least, of the contract should not be place 1 in America, owing to the superior quality of the pipe made there. The plan meets with general approval among those who have studied the workings of rhe oil lines in America. The same general plan will be followed for the water lines, and the engines will be duplicates of those in use there. With such a pipe line in operation it would seem that the end of the Soudan difficulty, so far as the movement of reinforcements is concerned, would be reached. Senator-Elect Payne Dined. Cleveland, 0., Feb. 28.—Senator-elect Henry B. Payne was tendered a compliment ary dinner by Win. Edwards, previous to his departure for AV ashington. All the promi nent professional and business men in the city were present. During his speech Mr. Payne spoke of the electoral commission, of which he was a member. He said that if the presi dential controversy had not been settled by the commission, a civil war would have been the resuit, as 560,G00 men were ready and willing to adjust the matter by arms. He was chairman of the committee that consid ered the bill and established the tribunal, and was offered political advancement if he would report adversely on the bilk He refused, be cause he believed the commission for the best interest* • f the country at large. General Grant’* Autobiography, New York, Feb. 28.—The Century com pany will not publish Gen. Grant’s auto biography, as at first supposed. It is not that he objected to the Cen tury company’s terms, but personal rea sons led him to accept the proposition of Mr. Charles L. Webster, Mark Twain's agent and publisher, who ha* just taken one of Gen. ; Grant’s sons in the business with him. The Century company and Gen. Grant are the best of friends, but the claims of Mr. Webster are of a longer friendship. Mail Robbers Shackled. Dallas, Tex., Feb. 28.—A United States ' marshal passed down the Texas Central rail-' road from Hamilton county with the three 1 prisoners, Curtis, Moore and Bruner, charged with mail robbery, and said to be members of the same gang to which Pitts and Yeager,' the murderers of Marshal Gosling, belong. Their last offense is said to have been the rob bery of the postoffice at Pottsville. They are being taken to Waco for trial in the fed eral courts. The Lasli for Mormon Missionaries. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 28.—Information has been received from Gainsborough, Jack son county, that several men visited a house on Martin’s creek recently and severely lashed a Mormon elder who had been L.J ■ ng in the neighbornood. Another elder Jaded the . crowd in the darkness. The elders and sev j eral converts left the place next day. Slugging Match for Gate Money. Columbus. Feb. 28.—80 b Farrell, of this city, and Tom Hammond, of England, have arranged a four-round glove light, “Police i Gazette” rules, for the net receipts of the I house. The match is to come off in this city between the 11th and 14th of March. FALSE TG THEIR TRUST. ' j SHOCKING CHARGES PROVEN AGAINST ,! IN aNA OFFICIALS. Immorality am! Incompetency in the Man* agemeat ofthe Knightstown SoldierH* Orphan** Home —Unheard of ( I'neltie* Practiced. > Indiana? ) > Fob. 28.—The investigating committe appointed to inquire into the abuses at the Knightstown institution ro ' | parted to the house, in regard to Trustee t ' John M. Goar, that his general moral charao* ] ter is bad; that he has been guilty of grow , J immoral conduct: that his general chmaeter ' for virtue and chastity is bad; that he has t been guilty during his term of office, as trustee, of having illicit intercourse with a female in mate of the institution of about the age ol tii iccn yeais. and has been guilty during hw term as such trustee ol attempts to w duce two other female inmates, each of the ages of about fifteen, who were and are orphans ol deceased soldiers of th- stole of Indiana. As to the charge against Superintendent ■ White, the committee find that his charactei for robriety. chastity and virtue is above re- : proach, and that the charges, so Lir as they relate to the conduct of members r£ his fam ily, and each cf them are untrue And whollj false. As such superintendent, however, he has been ,■,.-<>■ ! v negligent in this: That he has repeatedly allowed things to go unchecked that should have ree ved his immediate at tention. He has negli ently allowed severe punishments to be administered by Uie attend-. ants, governesses and teachers. He has al lowed children in both departments to b locked in close and dark closets and fed only on bread and water for one day in a week, and permitted two boys to l>e handcuffed to gether two days and one night in a dark closet, and compelled them thereby to Leos . together whit- haftdeuffed, which punish* ments, in th. . .union of ti: * committee, were excessiv >, cruel and inhuman. He acted in-: discreetly at various times by locking himself in his private office with f- . tale teach ts and ' others connected with the institution, bus • the committee is of ojauiuii that it was at ne ' time for an improper or c’ uniual purpose. The cononittee further find that Superin-< tendont W nice allowed Charles Morgan, an; employe of the in dilution, to retain Lis situa tion after he had milicted upon a feeble- j minded boy named Ed Boi* ’’ and a soldier’s ! orphan tilt-most cruel and mhiiman treat ment. He permitted one of .n other attend* ants to remain after it had been brought tc | his knowledge that he had bean gu'lUv of re- I pealed acts of sodomy with bqys from ten to i fourteen years of age. •.tie conmm.iee rp : -(.. i .ien.l ti e removal of i John M.

Two Hundred Philadelphia Police Charge a Jeering Mob and Save Cameron. Philadelphia, Feb. 28.—Notwithstanding the mayors proclaim* on calling on < itizens in the vicinii of r >-t i.iills n A; n :ng ton to remain o.i the streets, to prevent £ repetition of Wednesday night's riotious dem onstrations, there was again, Thursday night, an immense crowd in the neighborhood oi Leedoni’s mill, where the non-union loorc fixer, Cameron, is employed.
