The most serious ease reported was that of
Mrs. Mazella Sholinus, of East Oak street,
who was severely beaten by her brother-in-
law, Frank Rakus, who recently became
separated from his wife through his oruel
treatment of her. The wife was visiting the
Sholinus family and ltakus went into the

quarrelsome and Mrs. Sliellnus ordered him

her blows upon the head with his fist that

bed and would probably remain tlieie for
several days.
Tills aftornoon Dr. Stein reported to Justice
Curdin that tho woman was in a dangorous
condition; that her heart was very weak and
she was in great fear that Rakus would get
into hor room and shoot her. To be prepared
for a fatal result the Justice went to . the
house and took the victim's statement, after
which Uakug was again arrested and com

THE CASE Op SR. ROW.
It Will Not Lieml to Serious Complications
with Spain,
Washington, Feb. 22. It can be stat
ed on the best authority that so far, at
least, there Is no reason for apprehen
sion that the case of Dr. Richard Rule,
was found dead In his cell in the
Jail at Quanabacoa, Cuba, will lead to
any international complications. The
matter was brought to the attention of
the state department In the latter part
of the past week through complaint
of some of the friends of the doctor In
this country. The allegation was that
the man had been Imprisoned beyond
the period allowed by the treaty for
an American cttlzen to be kept In Jail
without the lodgment of charges, and
that he had been murdered by his Jail
em. Consul (general Lee was Imme
diately directed by cable to Investigate
the affair, all hough It appeared from
his dispatches that he had already had
his attention directed to the case. The
official reports of the Spanish officers
arc said to show that Ruiz committed
suicide while in. jail, but this has not
yet been communicated to the depart
ment of state Meanwhile Consul Gen
eral Lee Is Investigating the matter,
and the state department is awaiting
his report. In the absence of this the
department officials feel no apprehen
sion of any complications, and all
stories that warships have been called
for by General Lee, or that this gov
ernment Is making ready to take for
cible measures in the case, are with
out foundation.
Dr. Ruiz was a naturalized American
citizen. He studied and practiced
dentistry in Philadelphia for some
time, and returned to Cuba about the
beginning of the present insurrection.
The charge upon which he was arrest
ed was conspiracy In having partici
pated in the derailing of a train carry
ing Spanish troops, as result of which
two Spanish officers were captured by
the insurgents.

Special Herald corresimndenoe.
Harrisburg, Feb. 22. There seems to
be a unanimity of opinion among the
members that Governor Hastings' plan
of erecting several buildings for the
legislature and departments is a most
wise one. It is generally recognised
that there should be Ave different
buildings; One for the department of
Internal affairs; one to provide ade
quate quarters for the auditor general
and state treasurer; a capltol or leg
islative building; a structure for use of
agriculture, education, forestry, bank
ing insurance and other aub-dlvlslons,
and the fifth might be used In the na
ture of a museum to contain battle
flags, ornithological and other collec
tions, a representation of the mineral
elements of the various counties, and
part of which might be used as cham
bers for supreme and superior courts
and the state boards which are re
quired to meet here. This could be
made to harmonize with each other
by being grouped In architectural ef
fect. The buildings which remain are
not tire proof, but are largely con
structed of combustible material, and
are Inadequate to the requirements of
the departments now in use, so that It
would be economy in the end to con
struct a number of buildings, and thla
done In reference to the demands of
the state for the nest century.
A Million Should llnlld the Capitol
The adoption of this plan would en
able the state to begin in the early
spring to construct a capltol building,
and thus have ample time for Its com
pletion for tho use of the legislature
two years hence. The other buildings
could be erected after the capltol build
ing was finished In the order of their
greatest necessitv. For the canltol
building it 1b thought, considerlngthat
it Is to be used for no other purpose,
and hence a large building Is unneces
sary, that $1,000,000 would be ample to
expend for that purpose. Despite the
opinion given by Attorney General Mc-
Cormick, declaring It to be unconsti
tutional to bond tho state to raise
funds with which to erect tho -new
buildings, there are some who favor
stretching the constitution at this
juncture and refer to -Jefferson's decla
ration, that he had stretched the con
stltutton In an emergency until it had
cracked and the people haa approved
of the act, and It is thought that in
thiB movement the people will also ap
prove the act.
It would be a great disgrace, how
ever, for the state of Pensylvanla to
attempt to adopt measures that would
violate the constitution in the least.
It has too many resources sufficient to
construct the new canltol without a
resort to violating the constitution to
accomplish what Is necessary. The
agitating of this BUbject within the
last few days has brought the Bliss
bill, recently introduced, into great
favor, imposing a tax on all ale, beer
or porter brewed In the state during
the ensuing three years, and also put
ting a tax of one mill on each dollar
of the actual value of the capital Btock,
one mill on each dollar of all gross re
ceipts subjected to taxation. One mill on
each dollar on the value of all personal
property, Two per cent upon the gross
premium collected by Insurance com
panles, etc. It is thought that this
measure will be passed, and If enacted
will enable tho state to greatly aug
ment lta revenues.
To Protect tho Fish Supply.
The special features that character'
ized the session of the house at Its
last meeting was the introduction of a
number of bills, among the most lm
portant of which was one to define
which are game fish and fish commer
cially valuable for food, and regu
lates their catching and encourages
their propagation. It also protects the
waters from wasteful and Improper
fishing. This act will wipe out all
the existing fish laws of the state. The
fish that would receive protection are
salmon, brook, rainbow, California
brown, lake and salmon trout, and all
other forms of salmon, of food fishes
black rock, strawberry, striped, calico,
grass, green and white bass, sunflsh.
pike, perch, walleyed pike, pickerel
muscolange, designated as game flsh;
also shad, white fish, lake herring,
sturgeon, classified as food fish
Henceforth it shall be unlawful to
catch with outlines or setllnes, or fish
for any game fish except with rod
hook or line. A resolution which was
reported to the houBe from the federal
relations committee and unanimously
aaoptea requests the senators and rep
resentatives in congress from Penn
syivania 10 earnestly forward any
movement toward a speedy end to the
conflict In Cuba, and in remembrance
of the generous aid and support
we received more tnan a century ajro
to urge the right of the people of Cuba
a governrrent by and for themselves.
This was passed and has since been
approved by the governor.
