ed with the greatest consideration by the burghers, despite the ^act that the latter 'had more than on'ce 'been forced to take 'UP arms in defense of the republic.

President Kruger adds: Our confidence in Mr. Rhodes has received such a rude shock that Wis repudiation of the proceedings ait Buluwayo ought to be received with greatest caiution. Even now we have news that an armed "force te collecting on our borders. If that ibe true, I trust that not the word of (Mr. Rhodes, but the influence of your government will suffice to prevent the further 'incursions of freebooters, ailthough it was not successful .in arresting the advance of Dr. Jameson."

Secretary Chamberlain in ihius reply yesterday thanked President Kruger for his assurances and added that 'he ihad always felt confidence 'in his magnanimity. He has sent an imperial officer, he said, to Buluwayo .to see that his orders were obeyed and to prevent the possibility of any further raids: and assured President Kruger that the might rest confident that he would strictly uphold the regulations of the convention of 1884. iJt

GET A "TWO SPOT."

Ed Bargeman and George Lanx Plead Guilty to Larceny. George L&ux and Ed Bargeman, who were arresited Sunday evening for stealing' meat from Andrew Rowe's slaughter -house, were aroiaigned in the Circuit Count yesterday. Laux saw there was no possible chance for acquittal and sought to win leniency from 'Che ©outft toy joining his preaching pal in the plela of guilty. On heariihg the plea of guilty and the abatements of the police as to the reputiations of the »two men, the judge decided ithey were entitled ibo but little lenliency and sentenced them "to two years each in the prfison south. It was llihe intention of the police to attempt to secure leniency for Bargeman, but 'when they learned he was attready out on a floater for Stealing fish neks they saw such an attempt would be useless. The young man was much affected by his sentence, ate he only expected a year at 'tihe farthest Laux, however, said nothing, but smiled and wajs apparently glad ito get off at two years. He is an ex-con-vtict and is suspected of numerous crooked jobs since ocxmilnjg to thas city, but, eu3 he -is sly ais a fox, the poWtoe have been unable to land him. He could, 'it is 'thought, have been convicted of crime .when he received same goods from the Bfg Pour Railroad under failse pretenses. He was advUseld to accept the goods by Lawyer Caldwell and the circumstances were so complicated .that ithe authorities d'edided to let him go, iwaismuch as he returned the goods, and the rriain ito whom 'they belonged was noit willing to prosecute.

Sheriff Butler will si tart South with •the Jtwo oolnvicits Thursday in order to be at the prison dkxvr to receive "Joe Bush," .who is 'to be brought back here for release on the 10th.

THE MEDICAL STAFF.

THE PHYSICIANS CHOSEN FOR ST. ANTHONY'S HOSPITAL FOR 1896.

The Sisters Have Had a Hard Year's Work —Steps Taken to Prevent Impositions From Other Counties.

The medical staff Which will serve St. Anthony's Hospital for the year 1896 was appointed fast night and is composed of the" followtog physteians: Dr. Schedl, Dr. Wyefch, Dr. Stunkard, Dr. Wier, Dr. Jenkins,. Dr. Shalefy, Dr. parkins and Dr.P aynie.

The staff met last night and organized by electing the following officers President, Dr. Sdhell secretary, Dr. Wier committee on reports, Drs. Jenkins, Shaley and Schell. The working staff is: Surgeons, Drs. JenikLns anid Shaley diseases of women, Dr. Willien oculist and aur.ist, Dr. Worrell. In. the medical department there are two wards, male and female. One doctor is assigned to each ward for a term of four months, making three terms in the year and thus giving all six on the medical staff one term. The physicians appoiinted for the sick wards last night are:

Male ward—Dr. Schell. Dr. Wyeth, Dr. Stunkard. Female ward—Dr. Wier, Dr. L,arkins, Dr. Payne.

The committee on reports of the medical staff will issue its annual report withiin the next few days in printed •form. This reportt will give the number of patients treated at 'the hospital during the past year, where eadh patient was from, with what afflicted and the termination of 'their ailment. The work at St. Anthony's Hospital has been greater 'than, ever before in the history of t'he institution aifd the sisters desire to publicly 'thanik the medical staff for dts faithful and efficient co-operation wi'th them 'in behalf of suffering humane ity.

The hospital and the sisters have been' greatly imposed upon during the pa'st year by pauper patients being sent from adjoining counties. The result is that the sisters have hakl more *to do in the charity line than, they care to attend to. All that has been necessary was an order from some doctor from a neighboring county and the person was given a pauper pass to ithis city and transferred to the hospital. It has been a convenient anid cheap way for neighboring counties to get fid of their afflicted paupers and they have not neglected to 'improve it. The tax on the sisters from this source hals ibeen unreasonable and an imposition inasmuch as the charity of the hospital was only intended for the poor of Vigo county. Different arrangements have been made for the ensuing year by which there will be a check put to thiis imposition. All admissions to the hospital must he secured by application to some member otf the regular medical staff who will issue an order of admittance. No orders from outside physicians will be honored. Blanks are in the hands of each member Of the staff and each person admitted must have an order stating age, name, residence, oodor and the disease with Which patient Is afflicted. Of course applicants from other counties will be admitted, b-ult not to the free ward. Prom this new rule it !2s not to be understood that the hospital is no longer a charitable institution and that unfortunate beings who have no friends and have met withi mlisfortune while travelling, will be turned way. The rule is only for the protection of the hospital and the sisters from the 'impositions of other counties which, are amply able to care for 'their own pauper patients. No poor person who lives to "Vigo county, or meets with misfortune within her borders, will he refused the sympathy and the caire at the hands of the sisters.

At the t£nfle .of anSfa«ing the probable succession of Mr. McK5fe*^is the position of iri^ster mechanic the press told thailbthere was a growing toelief among rafiroad officials that Superintendent H^tch would be promoted from thie Michigan division. It is a well known fact that Mr. Hatch, when superintendent of maintenance of way of the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania under J. J. Turner, the man. who is to be uie new genera! manager of the Vandalla, stood very high in the estimation, otf the latter. Thus it da helieved by mainy that Mr. Hatch will receive a boost up the ladder. An official of the Vandalia stated yesfterday that he looked for one &£. two things to happen. Either Superintendent Hatch would toe sent! to the Pittsburg division to succeed

M$.

Turner or tf the main
