Many Worthy Teoplo Aro Uroatl' In Veed
nf llolii.
That the restricted amount of Work to be
had in the coal region It causing considerable
suffering la being brought to tho attention of
many people, but Just how much destltu-
tlon there 1 Iim not been brought to public
attention. A gentleman who has had con
siderable experience In the part tew week
investigating replications for relief has been
rained to learn how many there are who aro
in want of tho necessaries of life, and the
fact that there It no organised method
of extending asilstsnce to those In
need of It. A town of nearly 80,000
Inhabitant will have many In time lllto the
present who, through no fault of their own,
aro unable to provide for thoee dependent
upon them. It i n net, too. that many
families are able to spare of their abundance
who have not come in contact with any of
those less fortunate, but would gladly do so
if assured their bounty would be rightly be
stowed, and this gentleman's suggestion that
an organisation bo effected to look into oases
brought to their notice is a timely one. lie also
suggests that a room be secured and placed
in charge of some one to whom contributions
in kind might be sent and certain hours for
distribution be fixed, when those found in
need and worthy of assistance could present
orders and receive assistance. As there is
possibly considerable waste in places where
large numbors of people are fed no doubt
much valuable aid conld be rendered by the
proprietors, and this gentleman's idea that
the charitably inolined get together and take
up tho matter systematically is one that
deserves prompt attention a the need, we
are assured, Is urgent.
Tho plan suggested to begin tho good work
is to havo a, meeting of business men and
residents at some designated place after
business hours for the purpose of making
arrangements to provido food and also a
small fund for other necessaries. As to the
organization it is suggested that then) be
first, a central committee with permanent
headquarters to rcceivo applicants and refer
them to a commlttco of investigation;
second, a committee of investigation
mi do u p of volunteers from the clergy and
others to visit and report on all cases, recom
mending them to tho relief committee, and
stating, in writing, tho precise nature of
their needs; third, a relief committee (ladies
preferable) to have charge of provisions and
distribution; fourth, committee on solicita
tion, to gather donations; fifth, attending phy
sicians to have power to act as members of
the investigation committee. The entire
organization to be entirely and absolutely
non-sectarian and non-political, and without
distinction of persons, race, color or religion.
Tho columns of tho Herald are at tho dis
posal of the publio for the Inauguration and
promotion of tho cause and all calls for and
reports of meetings, as well as any other ser
vice they may be put to in connection wiin

A "Ilognu's Alley" Outfit.
A turnout which hails from the Shenan
doah Steam Laundry as a special delivery
attracted considerable attention on our streets
this mornlnz on its way to Qirardville, to
accommodate the increasing gloss fraul trade
It consisted of au old style jump-seat car
riage, decorated with the stars aud stripes,
aud drawn by a donkay who seemed to have
seen revolutionary honors. It was piloted
by the engineer of the establishment, who
has assumed the position of driver.
The entertainment and banquet htid last
evening, in Bobbins' opera house, under the
nuspl"e3 of Washington Camp No. 112,
lntriotic Onler Sons nf America, was one of
the raoet enjoyable affairs btid bi the town
fur many years. The camp adopted this
means of celebrating Washington's Dlrth
dnv, and the success which attended their
effort and the enjoyment afforded the mem
bers of the camp fully attest the wisdom of
their selection. The Htertry and mnsical
part of the program was of ft high order and
added greatly to the pleatars -of the large
Assemblage.
The painters and decor Urts, who prepared
the hall for the occasion, t3e a great change
In its appearance. The deeffMtiofls were on
an elaborate scale. The naUttnl colors pre
dominated, nnd tri-oolored stringers formed
a canopy over the-Patriotic tens and their
wives and sweethearts. At the entrance an
arch was formed and at either side of the
hall hunting and shields, emblems of the
order, were profusely displayed. The decor
ations were furnished by K. II. Morgan, the
East Centre street regalia manufacturer. v
The members of the camp began to as
semblo at 7 o'clock, and continued to arrive
until 8 o'clock, when the festivities began.
As they entered the hall tbssweet strains of
the famous Schoppe Orchestra greeted their
cars, and long tables ladoh with all the
delicHoies of tho season made 6, scene pleasant
to look upon. Tho orchestra was stationed
upon the balcony and rendered a number of
their choice selections while the pretty maids
and handsome youths, selected with duo re
gard for the occasion, served the throng
with all that was tempting to the
inner man. Among the selections rendered
by the orchestra were the following:
"My Country 'TIs of Thee," arr Schoppe;
Overture Carnival, Schlepegrell ; Descriptive
piece, uncle L.phs Wedding," Lamp
America, overture on national airs, Toblna
The Directorate Marfjli, Sousa : Intermezzo

He v. IEobcrt O'Boylo, chairman of the evon

and the "hungry and faithful" proceeded to
devour tho good things prepared for them by
Caterer Harry Aregood. Too much praiso
cannot bo given for tho mannof.in which he
attended to tho wants of tho three hundred
present. It was a largo crowd to handle, and
all oxpresscd thomselvos in complimentary
terms of Mr. Aregood s ability as a catorer.

THE T0MAL0NIS CASE.
(Jneer Stand Taken by The Widow of the
Victim.
The latest development in the case of
Thomas Tomalonls, who died at the Miners'
hospital on Sunday night from the effects of a
beating alleged to havo been received from
William Snyder, the First ward mloonkeeper
and undertaker.and one of his boarders.Simon
Karapowitz, has caused tho authorities to be
come more interested in' the case than hereto
fore. They have become convinced that efforts
are being made to defeat the ends of justice
in the case and a full investigation will be
made. The cause of this conclusion is the
queer and suspicious change of conduct on
tho part of the widow of Tomalonls. Here
tofore she has been continually crying for
the punishment of the husband's assailants.
Yesterday when Justice Lawlor sent a
message to the widow, requesting that she
call at his office and swear out a warrant on a
charge of homicide, the woman posi
tively declined to comply with the
request, andlln fact was opposed to doing any
thing at all in the matter. Her action has
occasioned considerable criticism and no
doubt she will be called upon to explain it
when the case is properly under investigation.
Thus far tho District Attorney's office has
taken no steps in the matter, but a represen
tative is expected in town to-day te arrango
the proceedings. Deputy Coroner Manley
was busy to-day setting a jury aud making
other arrangements for an inquest, but he is
not disposed to take any definite steps until
the District Attorney acts. It is probable,
however, that the inquest will be held to
morrow afternoon.

Wa&hlpRtiin. Feb. 24. Representa
tive r,lji.i,n. of Tennessee, yesterday
Introduced a joint resolution directing
the pn-aldent to demand of the Span
ish authorities in Cuba the Immediate
ri'stoiation to liberty of every Ameri
can citizen, native born or naturalised,
now Imprisoned by them in the island
of Cuba, and that in support of that
demand the- president Is authorised
and directed to accompany It by the
presence of a sufficient number of Uni
ted States ships of war to make that
demand good, and if It is not granted
within 24 hours that the city of Ha
vana, and. If need be, other ports of
Cuba be bombarded until it Is fully
complied with and all American citi
zens delivered to the commander of
our warships.
The preamble to the resolution re
cites that many American citizens
have- been illegally and without suffi
cient cause arrested and imprisoned in
Cuba by the Spanish authorities; that
some of these Americans thus wrong
fully arrested and imprisoned have
bean thrust Into dark and foul dun
geons, denied the necessaries of life,
have been maltreated without trial,
nnd have been inhumanly done to
death. "In a majority of the cases,"
says the preamble, "these Americans
thus unlawfully arrested and barbar
ously dealt with have been denied the
trial guaranteed them by the treaties
between the United States and Spain,
and have been treated In a manner
unworthy of a civilized nation, or of a
people professing to be Christians. It
Is well known that many of these
Americans have been maltreated, and
some of them have been butchered, not
because of any fault of theirs, but to
enable Spanish ofllclals to vent their
hatred of the United States and ex
hibit their animosity toward Ameri
cans In general.
"These wicked, Illegal and barbarous
deeds of the SpanlEh officials in Cuba,
sustained as they have been by the
lawful authorities of Spain, are an in
tentional Insult and Injury to the whole
people and government of the United
States. The further submission of the
government of the United States to
these atrocities and outrages upon our
citizens In Cuba will degrade our gov-,
ornment In the estimation 9! lovers of
liberty and justice the world over, and
te at the same time 11 grievous wrong
and humiliation to every citizen of the
United States, an injury to one being
an Injury to all."
Representative Cummlngs, of New
York, Introduced a resolution calling
for all the correspondence In the case
of-Dr. Ruiz, who, It Is claimed, was

condition of Mrs. Mazella Shelinus, his sister-in-law,

Itakus employed M. M. Burke, Esq.. as

from Dr. W. X. Stein to the effect that the
victim would recover, appeared before Justice

New York, Feb. 24. The World pub
llshea an autograph letter written to
that paper by Salvator Cisneros, pres
ident of the provisional government of
the Cubans, and countersigned by
Maximo Gomez, the general in chief.
The letter was approved by the so-
called cabinet of the provisional gov
ernment, and bears the seal of the In
fant republic. It Is in reply to the
question:
"Do you believe that the war can be
ended on the basis of independence by
the payment of an indemnity by Cuba
to Spain, with the United States as
arbitrators?"
The letter says in part:
"On the basis of Independence it will
be possible to enter Into negotiations.
This should provide for the evacuation
of the Island by the Spanish and for
the future relations between Spain and
the new Cuban republic. We believe
there should also be included an in
demnity to be paid Spain provided the
amount Is reasonable.,
"But If done It should be done as
soon as possible. The Indemnity should
prevent the further loss of blood and
money, and It would save the economic!
resources of - the people who have
sworn to the complete destruction of
the Island before tiiey will submit anew
to the dominion of Spain.

. -The Pennsylvania Diamond Drill Company
lme notified the Ashland Borough Council of
their intention to abandon tho boring for
water at the borough reservoir. Their ma
chinery is not strong enough to drive the
drill any further, which is now over two
thousand toot. The outflow is about seven
teen gallons per minute, or a total of about
twenty-five thousand gallons in each twenty
four hours. The water is as clear as crystal.
It is the longest horizontal hole on Tecord.
It has cost the borough of Ashland $5,11.60
to drill the hole, aud yet the measures they
have been looking for have not been reached.
