Fred. Grayston the way and he joined them. They found Mr. Wilhelm was dead. Mr.

McGrew telephoned Undertaker Mr. Stults came with his ambulance and the body was taken to Mr. Wilhelm's residence, 64 East State street. The sudden death was an awful shock to the family. Mr.

Wilhelm or "Cap," as he was asually called had evidently been preparing to make himself some eofiee, as he ordinarily did, from a little stove in the rear room of the bank. He had hung his overcoat and hat up and sat down on the sofa. Dr. Grayston gave it as his opinion that his death came from heart failure. He had been employed at the bank as night watchman for about two years.

THEY AHE DA IS IKS. Mora Domestic Trouble in the Household of Mr. and Mrs. Mentser. Was there ever a family on earth who enjoys police circle notoriety better than Alonzo and Drusilla Ment zer, ot Andrews? we turns: not, ior there is hardly a day passes, but that the reporter hears of another "spat" which has taken place between the two.

They fight each other like tigers, knock each other down, and have a general good time while their troubles last. They make up about as easy as they fall out with each other. Alonzo and Drusilla came to the city Monday rning 'as loving as two kittens, and went before Prosecutor Day for the purpose of settling their differences. The differences were never settled and Drusilla went to her attorneys and had papers drawn up for a divorce. This makes about the fourth time she has filed suit for divorce.

Afterward Alonzo got ran tankerous, and was going to knock her out in true pugilistic style, when she had surety of the peace proceed ings issued against him. Alonzo was arrested and taken before 'Squire John for hearing Monday evening. The de fen ant wanted a jury trial, and Marshal Crandal went out to secure a Jury, leaving Alonzo in the care of the 'Squire. Affcer Marshal Crandal had gone, Alonzo conciudea ne must see some attorneys and asked permission to go to the law office of Branyan Branyan. 'Squire John didn't like the idea of letting him go alone, and placed him in charge of Tom Cunning ham, who happened to be in the 'Squire's place at the time.

Tom went with Alonzo to the Odd Fellows block, and said he would wait at the foot of the stairs while he, the said Alonzo, went up stairs and interviewed his at torney. Cunningham forgot all about there being a stairway in the rear of the Odd Fellows block, and after wait ing a good long time, concluded he would see what kept Alonzo so long. It soon dawned upon him when he rc chci tha Ery a lzv7 cdtt't in Clothing and Furnishing Goods in Huntington, Th ey carry the Biggest line.

The Hew Cud ahay Hoods the Coan The new Cud ahay p'pe line has been in operation about a week and one serious accident has already occurred. Oae of the steel pipes of the oil line burst Thursday night in a field about one mile east of agro, Wabash county, flooding tbe country with oil jr a great distance along the break. As there is a pressure of eight hundred pounds to the quare inch where the p'pe broke the oil shot into the air higher than the tree tops, and it was with great diffi culty that the flaw was checked and the break repaired. The farmers along the line are becoming very indignant over what they consider the carelessness of the company in puttiog in icf arior pe, and are talking of suing the oil company to recover for damages sustained. Wherever the runs over the ground it leaves the soil in such a condition that it is wholly unfit for farming purposes as not even weeds will grow along the line.

Ia fact one farmer. Crate Pavey, residing near Dora, has already sued the company to recover $12,000 damages to his land because of the oil ren di ring it useless to him, and the case will be tried in the Huntington circuit court. This will be a sort of test case, as, if he succeeds in winning his suit, the company will have several mora cases of a similar kind on its hands. The case will be hotly contested on both sides. Bluff ton News.

Cleveland's Seoond Administration. Communicated. We are now near enough the end of Mr. Cleveland's administration to judge somewhat of its estimate at this time and the estimate that the future will place upon it. His first admlninstration was a com paratively creditable one.

When the result of his election was known there was a feverish uncertainty as to what his course would be toward two classes of citizens. One was among the color ed people who had been led to believe that his election would turn loose upon them persecutions and class or race discriminations. The other was among the ex union soldiers of the nation who had been led to believe that their pen sions would be denied or abridged. Cleveland, then sensitive to the pubHc opinion and desiring a successful term of office with a view to placing himself as an available candidate for re election. took special pains to placate the color ed population and also to show that the ex soldiers' interest would be safe in his hands.

Before his inauguration he issued a circular letter in which he proclaimed his purpose of protecting the black man in his rights and the de fenders of the union in the sanctity cf their pensions. And in utherance of this purpose and as a guaranty of nis good faith he recognized the colored race in some of his federal appointments and appointed at. the head of the pen sion department. Gen. John C.

Black, a veteran of four Vears service in the army and who had been twice severely wounded in battle. These appointments and his con servative course disarmed, to a great extent, the adverse criticisms of his political opponents without offending his political adherents. So that at the end of his first term Cleveland held the unbounded confi dence of his political party and he remained such a formidable candidate even after his defeat in 1883, as to tide him to success inl893 as the most popu lar man of the nation. Bat Cleveland was human and, while resolute and bold in his ambition, saw beyond his second term no further political preferment, and listened to the selfish part of his nature and sought wealth and allied himself to the eelfsh combinations of cerpcrata wealth, and eil to ia V.i to dominate congress with his financial views that he succeeded in procuring the passage at a law completing the demonetization of silver which result ed soon thereafter in the alienation from him of his own political party, and in the contest which followed, used every branch of the government over which he had any power to compass the defeat of the political party which had supported him solidly at the polls in three successive elections; the party which had given him all the emoluments, honors and glories which he enjoyed. But he is now Cdding a chapter to his political life which is darker and more detestable if issible, than political Tins second administration began with a foolish, not to say wicked, attempt by Cleveland to dishonor the American flg and the American policy in ovtr turning the young Republic of Hawaii, not far from our western cosst and r.

scoring in its stead a ami barbarous monarchy. Public sentiment in America wss outraged and so indignant were all the people that he was compelled to relent from his purpose and the young republic still lives Near our southern coast almost within sight cf the Stars and Stripes which float in the breezs at Key West, for years the Cubans have been strug gling for freedom and independence. The civilized world has watched intently the contest. Sp tin has sent to that island her best military commanders, with tens of thousands of her disciplined soldiery to subjugate the straggling Cubans. When Spain found ner generals treating the Cubans as human beings with some of the rights of war she withdrew such generals and replaced them with cold blooded offi cers, whose orders are to shoot down defenceless men, women and children.

simpiy oecause they may nave sym pathy with the Cuban cause. Not only this, but Spain has return ed to the barbarous treachery of more than two thousand years ago and un der a flag of truce and under the assur ance of safety entraps th great Cuban Ueneral, Antonio Maceo, into an am bdscade and shoots him down, as men do a mad dog. The other nations of Europe, who also hold some of the is lands cf the West Indies near Cuba, raise no protest. But the United States professing to believe in the Monroe doctrine and that American interests ought to be maintained and that monarchies should not encroach on Ameri can soil, and believeing in civilization and in Christianity have as a nation raised a voice In protest against the continuance of this brutal ware and the people have proclaimed a pur pose, this sentiment being voiced by the report of the foreign relations committee of the senate that through congress they will recognize the independ ence of Cuba. The nation stands aghast at the de velopments made within the last two or three days.

The officials of Spain are now proclaiming that Grover Cleve land and Olney, his secretary of. state, are giving private atsarance to the Spanish government that they vill op pose congress in its effort to recognize the independence of Cuba. In other words, that while the brutal and un scrupulous generals of Spain are, in close com muni an with others in violating all the honors, precedents and usuages of modern warfare and entrapping the Cuban patriots and murdering tnem tnat, the chiex executive cz our government and his secretary are giv ing private assurances to the Spanish officials that they may continue with impunity their brutal warfare to the end of Cleveland's administration, in spite of what the congress of the United States may do. Surely there haa never been in the history of America such a spectacle. Sorely his attempt to throttle Cuban independence will as utterly fall as did his attempt to restore momrchy in Ila know with a 1 ig degree of certainty that the resolut'oa declaring jr the independence of Cubs endorsed ana supported by such' men as Senators Cameron and Morgan will pass both houses of congress and that if Cleveland attempts to veto it, that it will be passed promptly over his veto.

A veto from Cleveland on such a proposition would be a fit ending to his ministration. James C. Bbahtah. FORTY OLD SETTLERS HTt Died Since the Tast MeetlBg of Baa ting ton County's old Settler's Association. The old pioneers of Huntington.
