Interest In tho Bp. poIutmcuU to bo mado by tho County Commissioners-elect, which will bo announced on Monday, increases as tho 4th day of January approaches. One item of as much interest, If not more, is tho naming of tho successful ofllcialt at the almshouse. Theso announce ments will hlso bo mado public on Monday. It is given out on high authority that tho effort of I'oor Director Middleton to smash tho Deitrlch-Ahrensfleld slate has been un successful so far. It can be stated with cer tainty that the latter two Directors will name tho appointees, and that Messrs. Eontz and Myers will bo the ruling spirits in the Com mlasloitors' office. Thoro will bo no breaks this year. At the almshouso Gordon Heed will succeed John Eeese as steward, whllo John Gressang will bo rotalned as clork. S. Burd Edwards, Esq., will tako care of the legal business of that institution, and Dr. O. II. Moore, of Ileckscherville, will be the medical adrlsor. The minor appointees are not known. Shen andoah, tho big town north" of the mountain, will secure three of tho plums. There will be a general shake-up in tho Commissioners' offlco. Horace F. Kober, of Pinegrovo, will succeed Thil. J. Couuell as chief clerk ; Charles Eeed, of this place, will bo his first assistant ; Warrant Clerk Carl Coogan will bo sncceeded by Mr. Sonnott, of Cressona; Irwin Mosor, of town, will be re tained as type-writer, and tho docket clerk will come from Mahauoy City, in nil prob ability. Tho changos at tho jail will bo many, but It Is pretty certain that Warden Brower and his wife will be retained. The Commissioners havo some trouble over the County Solicitor. Tho slated candidate is said to be Charles Bergor, of Cressona, but the present incum bent, John O. Ulrich, Esq., threatens trouble if he is remoTed. He claims his appointment one year ago was made for three years. In the rrothonotary's ofllce Col. Deesn has selected William F. Leib, the present clerk, as his deputy, succeeding 'Dill" Brennan. The latter retires, and his uncle, M. P. Brennan, will enter this office on Monday. John T. Shoener, the Clerk of the Courts elect, will retain John Duffy, of St.. Clair, as his first deputy. John Morgan, of Mahanoy City, will he an attache of this office. County Treasurer Elias Davis will retain Samuel Deibort, of Schuylkill Uavou, as his deputy. If the Commissioners allow an other npntintee in tho office, Mr. Davis will very likely --elect a Oirardvillo Eepublican. In tho Register's office Mr. Matteu steps out to make room for F, C. Beese, of your town. Tho latter will make no change in the deputyship, retaining the present in cumbent, Thomas Stevens. The receipts of the office will hardly allow of tho appoint ment of a clerk. It is said, howovor, that Mr. Eeeso will select his younger brother, Edward, for this position. Emanuel Jenkyn, tho Eecorder-elcct, has announced his appointments as follows: Deputy, Thomas S. Herb, of Tremont; clerks, Edward McGlnness, of Glrardvillo j George W. Keiper, of Shenandoah, and Will iam Loesor, of Minersville. In but two of tho offices will there bo no changes, the Sheriff's and the District At torney's, tho latter being tho only Demo cratic official on tho hill. Urennan's New Restaurant. Sourkrollt.

TOBfiLOUS A HAVING PfllAG The Condition of the Assaulted Man Remains Unchanged. FIERCE STRUGGLES WITH GUARDS. An Almost flopeleas Case Tho Attending Physician Says That Should the Man Not Dlo He W1U In All Prob ability be a LunaMo, Tho case of Thomas Tomalonis, which was reported in last ovoning's Heuald, has aroused deep interest and tho opinion Is generally expressed that It is Strange that a case of the kind should har (leaped public attention for two weeks. Tint explanation, offered is that it is only since last Wednesday that the man's condition has been such as to occasion alarm on tho part of his family and that had they suspected the renult complaint would havo beon made to tho authorities sooner. Tomalonis is now a raving maniac. Four men are constantly at his hedsido and three or four times during every twenty-four hours their united efforts are required to keep tho victim in bed. When ntUokfld by tho spells Tomalonis imagines that bo sees or hears tho men who it is alleged attacked him in Snyder's saloon In the First ward on the night of Dee. 10th. His legs have been bound at the atlklos, as it is feared he may suddonly jump from tho bed and atUck somebody. The man imagines that everyone at Ins oeuslue is tils enemy and waiting for a chance to attack him. It Is bcliovcd that tho spoil which led to the violent struggles with the -watchers will gradually weaken the patient until death sets in. During tho past twelve hours the unfortunate man has recovered his power of articulation, but his utterance, aro of a wild character. Ho shouts to thosd'around him to keep away and continues shunting until ho falls back upon his pillow exhausted. A rest of another hour or so is followed by anothor spell of shouting, or a desperate struggle. Dr. W. N. Stein, who is attending Toma lonis, was summoned hastily' to tho man's bedside this morning and an unfounded rumor that tho victim had died gained circu lation. Dr. Stein says Tomalonis' condition is very grave, and, should he not die, it is quite likely that he will le a subject for a lunatic asylum. At present, the doctor says, the victim's mind is entirely blank. He re cognlzos nobody and cannot be mado to com prehend anything. After a Consultation to day It was decldod to send the victim to the Minors' hospital. The removal will prob ably bo mado to-morrow. William Snyder, the saloonkeeper, and Simon Karparwitcz, tho two men charged with being responsible for Tomalonis' condi tion, do not seem to regard tho charge seri ously. Thoy adhere to their story that they aro not guilty. Thoy do not deny that they had a difficulty with Tomalonis on the night of tho alleged assault, but say that tho victim was assaulted a second timo that night by othor nartics. Who tVo nartles are thev do not say, nor havo thwuthotltlos learned from any other source. One indisput able fact is that Snyder's saloon, has the reputation of being a resort at which frequent disturbances occur and in many cases tho victim's havo suffered ser iously. Only about a month ago a riot was prccipitatod on Centre street by men who had just left Snyder's house. Two meu were torribly beaten and a third had a hair breadth escape from being dangerously shot. ISreen's Klalto Cufe X?reo Lunch. Oysters on toast as frco lunch to-night. Hot lunch on Monday morning.

Had the prize been a goat it would perhaps havo been reserved by tho winner ns a receptacle for rejected manu scripts, but being a bear, it was returned to Mr. mith for $20. Smith has certainly found a good iuvostuieut in bruin. It is estimated that between $75 aud $100 was made on the match yestorday and about $50 011 Thanksgiving day. The winner of yos tcrday's match did not participate in it per sonally, hut through a substitute, a young mau named Heber Smith, who mado tho winning score on a tie by planting a shot directly in, the center of tho target.

Wt GLEitELAJlD IS ACGUSED I Sensat!6nnl Charges Made by a News paper Correspondent. ALLEGED SECRET DEAL WITH SPAIN The President and Secretary Olney, It Is Asserted, Agreed That This Govern ment Should Aid in Crushing the Insurgents Unless They Yield. ' New Yoik, Jan. 9. Mr. James Creel mnn, special correspondent of the New York Journal, telegraphs from Madrid to that paper as follows 1 "It has taken me many days to trace out the astounding dealings of President Cleveland aud his administration with the Spanish monarchy, but I nm now in n position to-glve the American people some light on the subject "Actual fnots show that Cleveland's of fer of mediation was simply a oover under whleh the Amorloan government sooratly proposed to help Spain to overthrow and suppress the republlo of Cuba and to en force peace on that Island on terms whloh tho patriot army would not accept "This offer was not made In the form of n written document, transmitted through tho usual ohannols, but, for the sake of greater secrecy, was conveyed in a formal note from Secretary Olnoy to the Spanish minister at Washington, De Lome, who cabled the whole matter to Madrid. "Tho understanding was that if Cuban lenders rofused to lay down thoir arms upon conditions of looal self government, to bo proposed to them by or through the United States, tho wholo Influence and power of tho Amorlcnn government would bo oxerted to crush, tho now ropubllo. "Tho slightest investigation by congress will rovonl tho truth of this statomont. I havo the facts upon unimpeachable au thority, but tho most surprising fact In this well concealed conspiracy against tho Cuban republlo is that in ordor to holn Spain in hbr pitiless campaign of massa cre, Secretary Olnoy has not presented any of the claims for damages arising out of tho present war. "This seems almost lncredlblo, but it is true. Heoords in Washington will con firm my statement. These claims repre sent millions upon millions of dollars. They aro supported by sworn and, in most JAMES CnEKLMAN. cases, incontestable ovldonco. Iknowns a fact that Injured citizens, whoso lntorests aro represented by claims, havo supposed that Mr. Olnoy was doing everything in his power to secure an Indemnity for their losses. The truth is that, with unimpor tant exceptions, Mr. Olney has simply notified the Spanish government that such claims have been filed at Washington. Hut his view is that Spain cannot bo held responsible for property dostroyou by tho Insurgent nrmlos. "In othor words, Cleveland's adminis tration docllnoH to rocognizo the Independ ence of tho Cuban govornment or tho bel li goronoy of its arms, and at tho same timo calmly absolvos Spain from nil responsi bility for tho protection of Amorloan prop erty In tho Island. "There is a spectacle for tho edification of tho Amorloan people Tho Spanish press und public laugh and sneor nt con gress nnd ouloglzo tho president and tho secretary of state who plot secretly with the Spanish minister at Washington agninst tho brave people struggling for tholr liberty almost within sight of tho American coast. "Ministor Taylor plays no part in tho main dlplomntlo transactions of tho two governments. Do Lome has foolod every body in Washington, and 'is 'playing' for delay. At this moment tho purpose of Spain seems to bo to arrange some agree ment with Cloveland and Olnoy which will commit MoKlnloy's administration in advance to an attitude hostile to Cuba." Mr. Creelmnn thon refers to "the mook sohemo of reform" promised by Spain, and in conclusion doclaros that recognition of euba by this country would speodlly end tho struggle in favor of Cuba.
