Kope Elias haa long been in the

aud is an able worker lor the cause.
He was oue ot the Cleveland dele
gates at tiie Chicago convention
last year- We believe the appoint
meat will give general satisfaction.
In ailditiou to his being a special
favorite with Mr. Cleveland he had
strong endorsements-
ii. li. Glenn, who mails such a
vigorous canvass during the last
campaign, is a most deserving ee
lectiou. ills endorsement for dis
trict attorney was irresistatle
The i
manner in which he handled Mary
an ii Hutler in the lat campaign
brought tenor into the ranks ot the
Third party. Uis ability add other
ipualiheatious made bis appointment
peculiarly gratifying to the Dem- j
ocracy. !

Washinoton, .June 10. The coro
tier's jury investigating the Tord's
Theatre disaster, has brought in a
verdict holding Co!. F. C. Ainn
worth, 0 -n tractor Ceo. W. Danf,
Superintendent covert and Engin
eer basse responsible for the deaths
of the victims by reason of crimi
nal negligence ou their part.
The jury were out nearly two
hours. The verdict, with much
surplus verbiage, says that Dante
excavated the earth beneath one of
the. brick pillars wbich supported
the rloors above within in any way
bhoring or protecting tne pillar, and
this caused the pillar to fall brings
mg down the floors above with the
insults known.
"That Frederick c Ainsworth
was the officer in charge ot said
bmidiug and the said clerksj and
that William . Covert was super
ii.tende.nt of aid budding and that j
Francis Sasse was the inechauical j
engineer and fireman of said build
ing: and the latter, although not
j hi architect or civil engineer, pre
j pared the plans and specifications
j for the enlargement of said cellar,
aiiii said Ainsworth, Sasse and Oar
j vert and each of them knew or
j ought to have kuow that said Dant
was engaged in excavating said
! cellar and nnderpining said pier,
I and that he had not shored the col
! umns and brains of said building or
UKen any otner precaution 10 pre- j
vent the fall thereof or said floorss
nor did Aiusv. oith, Sasse, covert, or i
either of them, take any precaution I
to prevent the tall of said floor
'.kiie the said Dunt was engaged in
underpinning said piers or columns
so as to protect ihe taid clerks from
the ios of life or limbs by reason
thereov but said Ainsworth, cover!-,
S i-oe and Dante were, and each ot

em.'e in respect of said excavation

t e underpiuuing of said piers theu
o.-ing and about, to bo dot-e therein,
.iiol we, tlie jurors aforesaid, say
hat the said Ainsworth, covert,

we further find that Frederick c

Ainsworth, Win. G. cjverf, Francis j
Sasse and Geo. W. Daut are re- j
sponsible for tb.) killing of said !
Frederick Ijottus ; and wo jurors '
I afoiesaid. do further ay that the :
failure of the government of the '
j United States to provide for skilled
supersntendence of the work of res !
pur and alteration of its building
i
in charge ot the War Department
is most unbusinesslike and repre- j
hensible, and we are of the opinion :
that it such superintendence had '
been provided in the case of the j
work on the Ford's Theatre building ;
the awful tragedy might ha?e avoid, j
ed." j
At the request of the coroner Sir. j
Thomas, the district attorney, read
the verdict aloud. Not a souud j
disturbed him. It was supposed the j
announcement would be followed j
by a scene but when Thomas finish j

-i-it . T - Hi
1803.-
! The President has been suffering
from an attack of rheumatism for
several days, which taken in con-n-ction
with the knowledge that be
has been dieting btmselffor some
time to reduce his flesh, which not
Withstanding the enormous quanti
ty of the hndtst sort of woik he
constautly doej, has been increase
iog, wad made the foundatiou for
numerous sensational rumors cou
eeimug his general health. Your
correspondent is assured by those
who know that Mr. Cleveland's gen
eral health, barring the iheumatisai.
is excellent. Re expects, in com-
pauy with Mrs. Cleveland and Baby j
liuth, to leave Washington to mor-
row or next day tor his .buzzard
liy cottage, where Mrs. Cleveland j
will return to Washington within a ;
week or ten days, possibly sooner, j
and will remain, mating occasional j
visits to Buzzard's Bay uutil the ;
la3t of July when he expects to go I
i for at least a month's stay. The j
, fact that he expects to spend the ;
mouth of August away from Wash- j
iniitou effectually disposed of the
rumored earlier calling of the extra
session of Congress, a rumor that
probably had its only origin in the
wishes of those who have been here
clamoring fcr an immediate extra
session.
The coroner's jury haa nearly
completed its task of investigating
the Ford's Theatre castrophe, and
its verdict is looked forward to with
the greatest interest. It is well
nigh certain that it will blame Col.
Ainsworth for contributory, negli
gence, if lor nothintr worse. lu that
case the graud jury will probably i
indict Ainsworth for manslaughter,
aud its finding will also necessarily
carry some weight with the Army
Court of luquiry which will look
into the matter this week. Col.
Ainsworth is still at tha head ot the
Records and Pension Office of the
; War Department, aud, owing to the
peculiar conditions surrouudiug the
position, would still be the legal
j head of the oflice and continue to
' draw his salary, eyen it he were
suspended by the President, as be
! may be before the end of this week.
I Ainsworth is a Colouel in the Armyj
j but he has neither regiment nor
; command ; he is not in the line of
j protnotiou aud cannot be trans-
! ferred to other duties by the Presi
Uu arid hfl ,he ouly man iQ tlie ;
army who cannot be. Col. AIusn
worth can only be removed from tho
army by Court Martial, and so long
as he remains iu the army it is
! doubtful whether the President has
authoritj to appoint any other man
chief of fbe Records and Pension
Oflice, although he can designate
another army officer to perform the
duties temporarily. A little polite
cal tinge has been given the matter
by the appearance of Senator Pocv
tor as the special champion of Aina
worth.
Although Sec Greshatn v. ill
neither afiirrn nor deny the state
ment tht Minister Blouut has re-
i signed thosn who know the inton- I
tions of Mr. lilouut say it is true,
! and the presence of Hon. Proctor
j Knott, of Kentucky, in Washing-
ton, has caused the belief that he
I will bd his successor.
Twenty army officers have been
; detailed, under the act of July 1892,
! to act as Indian agent. There was
i considerable difficulty in finding
cdicers willing to serve aud the
i President did not care to detail meu
; tor the duty against their wishes.
When next pension day comes
aiourid there will be some disagree-
ably surprised inen, among those
who will apply tor theip cheeks at
several ot the Pension ageucicS
throughout the countiy. The fail
ure to receive the custouiy check
will be the farst notice these men
will have that they have been
dropped from the peusiou roll as a
result of tj.ie examination now be
ing conducted by s.elect commit
tee ot enaminers, of all the pensions
granted under Raum's construction
of the act of 1800. Although this
woik has just cGOiinericed many
names have already been diopped
and many more will follow. ihe
men who aie beiug dropped by this
committee are not strictly speakiug
fraudulent pensioners, althongh
tiiey have drawn public money to
which they we?e not entitled. The
wrong was committeed by Ixanm iu
so cnuntniing the law s to make
them eligible for pension, and fur

President for the coilectorehip, while
about the same time Attorney Gen-

St t IIeio !
Mr. Editor : It is refreshing, if
not amusing, to read your apoto
yetic batch of suppositious in ans
swer to a simple question in last
week's paper. A simple answer
would have sufficed without a need
less appeal to public sympathy for
a manifest mistake ot judgmeut on
the part of county commissioner,
JJut the alarming frequency of these
mistakes should not be overlooked
especially when they are so strongly
emphasized by a call for a special tax.
The commissioners should reiuem-.
ber that the.y are fiduciary as weii
as disbursing officers, and that, r he
preseut or prospective funds of the
couuiy can be properly expended
only when it is done lor the legiti
mate liabilities of the county. Tbert
is none of your suppositions about
this statement, but there would e
if they were to indemnify the Reg
ister of L'eeds or Sheriff for private
losses, suffered by fi.e or flood,
simply because they were county
officers. Because Mr. Baxter is iHe
keeper ot a charitably institution of
mecoumy ooes nor ei.urw mm to
exceptional consrdtration. Redid
! not assume the responsible charge
of keeper of the Home on account of
his intense sympathy aud love for
the unfortunate inmates. lie be
lieved there was money in if, and
he voluntarily took coarg expect
ing thereby to leather his own
nest, and during the years he has
had charge of it he ha lucreas-d in
material wealth untif he is consid
ered one of our substantial citizens
aud above Ihe shad-w of public
chanty. The commissioners kueA
this when they contributed pros
pective public funds to partially
make good his private losses. They
could w th t-qu-d justice havo given
aid to Messrs. P. 13. and Thomas
iiess on account of their recent
losses by fire, and I assure them
they could net gise tc worthier
gentlemeu Sine.- the precedent is
established and the editor of the
Courier says he doc-s "not feel

would not make a srte commission
er, although an honest and con
scientions one. You would no
doubt et your sympathies get away
with your better judgment, and
that is just the quality the people
do not want, iu a man having the
taxing power in his hands That is
just what the commissioners have
done, but I heir honesty of purpose
will cot be questioned. They simp-
ly desired to do a charitable deed, j
but in their zeal to do it, did not j
stop to reflect that their personal;
sympathies shonld be measured by
their own pocket book. )
It is a rejection upon the connty
to say that the benefits accruing to
Mr, Baxter from the action of the
comniihsioners would be indirectly
shared by the lumatedot the Ilome,
iu that it carries with it the impress
siou that they are not amply fed and
clothed, aud whose welfare is gov
erned by a private financial ther
mometer which rises or falls as its
owner prospers. The per capita
allowance for the inmates otthej
Ilome is t-uflicient to feed them rea j
sonably well, and to Mr. Baxter's;
credit, be it said, be is a good shepf !
herd and does not '-skin" his flock j
to enlarge his own profits. j

must deny him some pleasure iu

swered his question last week as
