Since Herbert E. Benton was ap- pointed school fund commissioner to succeed the Hon. Jeremiah Olney he has, with Chief Clerk Spencer, been in- vestigating the investments of the state ' school fund in Ohio, and an inquiry of three weeks does not support the char- ges which have been made by Nicholas Staub. They found the school fund investments in first-class shape, and so report. What ex-Comptroller 'Staub’s motive could have been 1n pursuing ex- Commissioner Olney with unp1ovable charges does not appear, says the Nor- wich Bulletin, but this investigation makes certain that he has squandered a large amount of the state’s money upon a case in which there was no real basis for criminal action. When it comes to having been guilty of malfea- sance in office, Mr. Staub seems to be much the guiltiest party. “Gentleman Jim.”.l There is much'snrprise and chagrin felt in polite circles over the extraordi- nary conduct Of"‘Gentleman Jim”-Cor- bctt and a crowd of his thugs in attack- ing Fitzsimmons in a Philadelphia bar room. In the first place, it is deemed strange that such an exquisite as Mr. Corbett would enter a public drinking place, and. doubly-strange that his well known chivalry should permit him to make a ruifiauly and cowardly assault upon the man he is soon to meet 1n the ring. Fitzsimmons says he is of the opinion that Corbett would like to force him into a bar room row and break an arm or a leg for him so as to avozd a meeting in the Groves of Daphne, hard by Dallas, October 31, next. There may be something in this. On only one other theory can such an unpro- voked and cowardly assault be account- ‘ed for. The other theory is that Cor- bett is, after all, a common bar room bully and loafer, who ought to have a permanent job on the State’s stone pile. A Double- Header. urssrs. Fred Ambler, of extracts fame, and George Lockwood, a pur- veyor of baked dough, moun ed a tan- dem bicycle, yesterday afternoon, and with Lockwood on the pilot- seat, rode to Gregory’ 8 Point, which place they leached in safety. Returning, Ambler mounted the pilot-seat and Lockwood took a back seat. While he was com- placently watching a fish hawk lazily skim through the air, and when in front Of the Golding residence on East avenue, he suddenly found himself go- ing in the direction of the fish-hawk. And he landed. As did also the pilot. Neither spoke a word as each picked up a different and of the tandem, and placing them in position again, mount- ed and managed to get home without further mishap. Both are a little sore tO-day. - Desperate Men. Saturday evening last Officer Clark while walking over Noroton Hill, was greeted with a tirade of abuse by a party of young men who were driving in a two-seated wagon. The Officer threatened to arrest the men and made a move towards the wagon, when the driver whipped up the horse and drove away. Officer Clark gave chase, but he had gone but a short distance when one of the party fired off a revolver, the bullet whizz 3d past Clark’s head and he took refuge behind a tree. The men in the wagon continued in their flight and Clark returned to head- quarters and reported the occurrence. It is thought the men belong in Nor— walk and efforts will be made toward causing their arrest. ..__—._—-_ The County Home. No better county' institution exists than the County Home for children at Norwalk, which is under the direct care of the county commissioners. = It is pleasantly situated-and comfortablyar. ranged, and the unfortunate waits taken ' from scenes of squalor and misery are surrOunded by an atmosphere of health and cleanliness.

A Suit Probable. , The representatives of the Gas com- pany met with attorney Taylor yester- day and submitted a proposition towards the settlement of the claim of Charles Valentine, for the killing Of his daughter, Katie, by one of the compa- ny’s wires which had become crossed with the electric light wires. Attorney Taylor has submitted the proposition to Mr.Va1entine,bnt it is thought it will not be accepted. Letters of administration will be applied for to-morrow and as soon as granted a suit for $5,000 dam- ages will probably be instituted against the Gas company. The Whaley Family. Another member of the Whaley fam- ily died this morning. This is the third death that has occurred in the family within a few days. The life of another one of the children hangs on a thread, which, it is believed, will break ere the day is gone. There are now two children at home afflicted with the disease that has al- ready proved fatal to three of the fami- ly, one of whom as stated above, it is not believed can live. Last evening, three Of the children were transfer1ed to the new hospital at the Town Farm, where they are under the care of a trained nurse. Dr. Baker is giving much attention to the several cases and is doing all in his power to save the lives of those 11 nder his care. Selectman Raymond makes frequent visits to the striken home and leaves nothing undone that will tend to the betterment of the conditions that exist- ed at the outset of the terrible fatality that has visited the family. The neigh- bors have also tendered their services and are untiring in their exertions to contribute to the needs of Mr. and Mrs. Whaley, who, but for such manifesta- tion of kindness must have ere this been compelled to have given up. An honest, steady. hard working man, Mr. Whaley is deserving of all sym- pathy, as is also his grief-stricken wife whose cares and sorrows can be the bet- ter imagined than described. . It is learned that the family leased the house as the rent was at a figure that came within their means. Being “out in the country” no special pro- visions as to the sanitation had appar- ently been considered. Rufuse was thrown into the yard or street, and stops were spilled into a gully that communicated with the street and wh1ch runs in close proximity to the well. It is believed that such leps ooz- ed into the well and were the primary cause of the epidemic of dysentery that prevails so fatally in the family. Fortunately, the pirent's of- the chil- dren have not themselves been stricken with the disease, and as yet have been able to assist in the care of their chil- dren. It is altogether one of the worst cases of sickness and affliction that has been brought to the attention of the public in years, and one in which the family interested are deserving of all that can be done for them. And be it said to the credit of Norwalk, our citizens are alive to the necessities of the family, and will do what they- -can to supply their needs. _. ..___.___ __ o . . .__..~_._._.-- , One Dose Cured Him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—-—According to the Philadelphia Press’ Washington corre- spondent, err-Senator Ransom, minister to Mexico, has been in the city to confer fur- ther with the state department as to the possibility of extending his leave. He came quietly from the North Carolina mountains, where he has been secking'to restore his health. Under the regulations Of the state department he will not be able to have his present leave extended more thitn 30 days, or a total of 90 days. After the expiration of that period, unless he shall induce the administration to defy law and precedent, he will be compelled to return to his post. His physical appearance does not indi- cate that he will be able within the time of his leave to go to Mexico. Many of his friends believe that he will not be ablo to live in the high altitude of Mexico. He is afiiicted with heart disease or asthma, or both. During the last session of congress a manner as to cause the gravest appre- hensions. difficulty that he was revived. He was one of the happiest men in the senate in its closing hours. His term of office expired March 4, noon, and his-term of office as United States minister to Mex- ico began as soon as he could take the oath of Office. His salary as .minister is $35 a day. One of the regrets which Mr. Ran- som expressed during the fatigue of one of the long night sessions at the close of con- gress was that “the 4th of March cannot day.” Mr. Ransom is a natural diplomat, if to be all things to all men is a diplomat. One Of the sin ular illustrations Of his dis— position to do '1nd things for all is shown by the influence be exerted as a member of the senate committee on printing to modify the report of the investigation which that committee had made as to the relations of J oSiah Quincy, when assistant secretary of state, to the National Litho- graphic company Of Washington, and on the administration Of the office of com— missioner of patents by Mr. Seymour. The two members .of the committee who had been active in the conduct of the in- vestigation—Mr. Gorman of Maryland, the chairman, and Mr. Manderson of Nebraska -—had reached a conclusion, had framed a. report, and it had been signed by them It was kept in the desk of Mr. Gorman for several days. A friend of the Maryland senator was made acquainted with this re- port and caused to be published a. state- ment as to its general character. But in the closing hours Of the session the report which had been agreed upon by Senators Gorman and Manderson was modified at the instance, it is said, of Mr. Ransom. The result was that the severe reflections which two members of the committee had made on the peculiar relations of Mr. Quincy to this company were withdrawn. Wants Bergman Pardonerl.

John Sammons is a. responsible man, a good farmer, who stands high among his neighbors, and whose reliability has never been brought into question. He was 'a. brave soldier of the Confederate army, and was One Of those who par- ticipated in that bloody tragedy on the banks or" Chickamauga Creek on the 18th of September, 1863. - ' During the hottest Of the engagement Sammons found himself in an exposed position, with shot and shell playing high revel around him, and he sought such shelter as was afforded ’by a large oak tree which was in direct line of fire. While handling his piece a bullet struck his gunstock and cut Off the two first joints of the forefinger of his right hand as clean as a knife would have done‘it. _ _ The dismembered finger dropped among the leaves, and as he was more particular about saving the‘ balance of his body than about rescuing as little 3 thing as a missing finger, he made the best of his way out of the fight. stanch- ing his bleeding hand as best he could. The war was fought to a finish and Sammons came back home and went to work, charging up his maimed hand to Some time ago he decided to revisit the bat- tlefield, which he had not seen in nearly thirty-two years, and so he betook him- self to Chickamauga and started to stroll over the battlefield. The tree where he stood when wounded occupied such a cOnspicuous position that he found little difficulty 1n locating it. with all the scars and knots on its rugged trunk caused by the flying missiles of death. Having found the tree he put himself in the same position in which he was standing when wound— ed, and then it occurred to him to look for the bones of his missing finger. Scratching around among the leaves, much to his astonishment, he found the bones where the finger had fallen, and Mr: they corresponded exactly with the fin— ' ger he had lost. They had lain there undisturbed ever since that dread day, and it was with a. strange feeling that he took them, and after establishing their identity to his perfect satisfaction, wrapped them up and took them away with him as a. strange souvenir of his war-time experiences. Mr. Sammons has them in his possession now, and will preserve them as an evidence of the fact that he found them on the. battlefield after the lapse of so many years—L-At- lanta Constitution. Gen. Grant in Japanese Eyes. In the July Century is prin’tedatrans— lation of portions of a quaint Japanese Life of Gen. Grant. The following is an extract from it: In the spring of his sixteenth year he expressed a great thought to his father, and addressed him, saying: “I have. in my mind the'thought‘ that, when four years from tO-da'j' have passed, I shall not be doing this Lind Of labor.” The father, thinking it a strange thing, said. “DO you hate your father’s hereditary trade? Do you hate to become a leather- maker, and spend your life thus? What profession, then. do you expect to adopt in future? Do you expect to go into the fields carrying a. sickle and a hoe? Do you expect to buy and sell things in the market? Or do you fix your eyeballs upon books of 10,000. volumes, and de sire to speculate reasons and promote moralities, and become a. man of wide knowledge?” Gurando Kuen, replying to these questions, said: “To cultivate the fields and become a. farmer is well, but to spend the whole-life as ahiréling is not well. To take a. Soroban (count- ing machine) and become a merchant and gain profit is well, but along with it to make bad practice is not my de- sire. Contrary tO all this, our ancestors in the war of independence Of this coun- try, sowed great merit, I hear. I also, entering a. military school, will have to show my arm in the time of great things. 0, Father Kuen, how is it” The father, being exceedingly glad, did as he wished.

A Washington street saloon keeper, lo- cated not far from Bolyston street, had the audacity recently to display the“ sign: "Christian Endeavor Punch.” A passing policeman was filled with righteous wrath such as only Boston po- licemen can feel. Entering the saloon he said: “You’ 11 have to take that sign in. ” “I guess not,” said the saloon keeper; “there aint’t no law compelling me to.” “That’s all right,” answered the offi- cer, “but I guess you better take it in,” with a. note of stem suggestiveness in his voice. “What for?” again demanded the sa- loon keeper. “Well, yOu may have some trouble next year in getting your license,” re- plied the Officer, quietly. “If .you haven’t any idea of decency, perhaps the Commioners may teach you.”—Bos— ton Record.

After we have one defeat we take a good night’s sleep and then get' up and go at it again. That’s one reason why wom—‘ an’s suffrage is not yet downed, and it will probably be the chief reason for its eventual success.” It was at the same convention, that Miss Anthony announced that she ex- pected to die voteless. “The State of New York,” she said, “will be the veiy last to let women vote, and my roots are too deeply planted to become a. citizen Of any other State. But it won’t be long before the women of California and the mom progressive commonwealths will be voting for all they are worth.._ ” .r ._.._ -.__.._.._ a- 1--.. m-..~___, l a \It is Known :Flnger Get .To- "I By Its Cures it is not what we say, but what .
