A FEW FRIENDS FOLLOW THE REMAINS TO THE GRAVE. 1- ill

Mulvany, Wolf and Haripon Were Attractions at tbe Jail Yesterday—Hundreds Called to See Them.

If a report which was carried to the jail yesterday from Sandford is correct, John Tosser, the man shot and killed in a free-tor-all fight in Isadore Mulvany's saloon at Sandford Christmas eve, was not the most popular individual in that section of the country. It is said that Tosser's funeral, which took place Saturday evening, was attended by Just five people outside the pallbearers. The funeral took place from the Little Grove Church, west of Sandford. Tosser's wife was not at the funeral. She was divorced from him some time ago, it is said, for the reason that he was such a desperate man. Tosser was buried in a very plain coffin.

Mulvany, Wolf and Harmon were the conspicuous figures at the jail yesterday. The porch-climbers are no longer considered by the eager crowd of curious people. Fully 600 persons visited the institution yesterday and asked to see the men from

Sandford. The three alleged murderers are

confined in what is known as "Bug House Row," which is upstairs in the west wing. The most sought after of the three is Mulvany. Wolf is a close second in the bid for public gaze. Mulvany wears an old black sweater and takes his confinement as coolly as he did the big fight in his saloon. His sharp gray eyes peer into every face and when any one, particularly a woman, comes up and is afraid »to enter, tells them very iclndly to step in as he is one of the prisoners, but will not hurt them.

Wolf indulges in a good laugh whenever Mulvany makes this little speech and has "dubbed" his jail partner "The Orator." The men express no fears as to the outcome of the trial. They say they are sure of being acquitted. The local counsel who are in the case are Messrs. Lamb, Carson Hamill and John O. Piety. Isadore Mulvany

he says, was undoubtedly fired by Tosser during the general fusillade and will go a long way in showing that in case the Illinois man died from a wound inflicted by Mulvany the shot was fired in Self-defense.

Chicago, Dec. 27.—It was announced tocight that the Atlas National Banlc will go into liquidation and retire from business. The action is not considered as a failure in

FE&KK IiKAOH, A MUCH WANTED HAN, IS LANDED AT LAST. a He Was'Trylng to Enter the Electric Motor

Works—Wanted For Another Grime. "W.

Patrolman A1 Gardner made an Important arrest last night when he took Frank I^&cli into custody. Leach was captured "^hlle trying to effect an entrance to the fatftpry of the electric motor company at Fourteenth and College streets. The patrolmanrsaw the Hpung man approach the works and as it was midnight suspected all was not right. He gave the fellow time, however, and it was not long before Leach tried to force a window. Failing in this he went to a door and was making good headway when the heavy hand of the policeman fell oh bis shoulder.

Leach was brought to the police station and examined by Captain Pierce. He told the officer that he was trying to get into the shop to find a place to sleep. This story-fell flat, however, for the captain knew that Leach's parents live but twb squares from the motor works.

Leach was wanted In this city for another offense. It will be remembered that several weeks ago he left the city very hurriedly and before his leave taking he failed to return a bicycle which he rented from Dr. Casto, the {druggist. A few days ago, however, Leach returned the wheels .expressing it back to Dr. Casto. :'yi£

Leach came back to the city last night It is believed this is not the first time he has been guilty of crime. Indeed, it has not been long since there were several valuable tools taken from the factory and at the time of the theft Leach was suspected.

A SONG WRITER'S WOE

Paul Dressed Turns Savagely on the Lone Haired One*. ••3 "Just tell them that you saw me."

I hummed this lightsomely into the ear of the stout man with the good-tempered countenance as he ran his fingers over the piano, says a writer in the New York Commercial Advertiser, _Ss.

He scowled at me villainously. ."Never do it again an' you love me," he panted, after a moment's awkward pause. "Never say it, sing it or hum it in my presence. Buy it if you will, and practice it in your own home, at your office, at your club, in the house of your enemy, but never visit it pn me. I have suffered enough." "But, my dear Paul, you wrote the song," I protested, "I know, I did, and I have written others. But do you think that a man wants his. iniquities flung in his face at all times, especially by one who sings as badly as you? Go to! I am distraught, and nothing but real music will compose me."

So saying, Paul Dresser sat him down at his piano and pjayed "Home, Sweet Home." "There ycr^-asje," he broke out, as the recollection of another grievance glared his eye. "It has been charged by the longhaired ones, that we, the song writers of

today, overrule all established rules of com-

position,

He played a verse of his own song, atad, as ne* reached the fourth. line, looked up at me to see that I recognized the strain as a repetition of that in the first. "You see, I repeat the first strain, eh?"

I nodded. "Yes. Now listen to this, in 'Home, Sweet Home!"

He played and sang the famous compos!-, tion feverishly, but correctly, and I found that the first and third lines were identical in melody. Then he attacked Balfe. "There is a composer they quote as the man who wrote real heart songs, always original in melody." he snapped, as he swung himself around on the piano stool to be more emphatic. "Balfe! Yes. All right. Well, now, which is the song in 'The Bohemian Girl' that is the best remembered?"

I suggested "Then You'll Remember Me." "True. Here it is." He played it, with the first and, third lines identical, and looked at me in triumph. "Here is 'The Heart, Bowed Down* and 'I Dreampt That I Dwelt'—both admitted to be among the most beautiful ballads in the English language. Yet you wijl find that the melody is repeated in both of them."

He played them over to prove It, and continued his homily: "Now, here is our dear old friend, Stephen Foster, with his ''Way Down Upon the Suawnee Ribber,—a beautifui thing— beautiful. But—"

Again his ready fingers, with his equally ready voice, demonstrated that the "Old Folks at Home" shared the repetitive weakness—if it,is a weakness—of„jtll the,other favorites.

"The Iohgv-haired' ones tell "me write trash. Perhaps I do. But half a million copies of 'Just Tell Them That You Saw Me' have already been sold, and the sale is still brisk. My other songs—'I Believe it, for My Mother Told Me So,' 'The Letter That Never Came,' and my new song, 'Don't Tell Her That You Love Her,' are all in demand, and I hear them wherever I go. Why? Because I aim rather to touch the heart with some homely sentiment than to avoid repetitions in toy melodies. I write songs only when I feel that I have something to say and sing. I will not be forced. To that rule I attribute my success."

Paul Dresser.'as an "actor, is a'wildly uproarious comedian, who, as he remarked to me, has never sung anything but comic songs on the stage in his life. "Oh, well, fat men can be sentimental if they like, can't they?" he asked, with a quizzical smile, as he bade me "good day."

You would hardly think so to look at the jolly round face of Paul Dresser. ,,

PEACEABLY INCLINED.

Views of Leading Political Personages On Spain's Position. Madrid. Dec. 27.—El Liberal publishes letters from political leading personages on relations between Spain and the United States. Signor Pidal, president of the chamber of deputies, says in his letter that it is necessary to understand the American nationality, which .through tbe errors of Latin races and the selfish Anglo-Saxon policy, seems destined to transform and absorb in an embyronic union of a. people without a history the future destinies of tho American continent. "Some writers consider that the American union is a prototype of the world's democracies," Signor Pidal continues. "Wiser thinkers have reckoned up at its true value this gigantic agglomeration of new peoples. Serious statesmen are aware that strife, esr pecially economical, is inevitable between Europe, whose champion now is Spain, and the colossus, which was loiseen

by the prophet Daniel, with ahead of iron, a breast of. silver, a belly of bronze and feet oC clay."

Proceeding then to compare America with wealthy bankers, Senor Pilal argues that she will think twice before attacking the poor hiklalgo, whose only defense is his ancestral sword. "Spain must not display bravado," Senor Pidai continues, "but a calm, determination to preserve her cause and leaving the result to providence. Those who once shouted 'Berlin' established later the horrors of the Commune. Spain is not invincible, but she is not a despicable enemy, and history shows that in many instances a small and desperate army has routed superior forces,"

General Pando writes that he knows thoroughly the offensive and defensive power of the United States and he knows the Americans tttem^elves, and is convinced that thtey are infarct- to the Spanish. Therefore America would be the greatest sufferer at first. "Though this is my opinion as a military man," Gen Pando adds, "as a citizen I do not desire war. Who knows how the conflict would end? "Let America have a chance," General Pando is quoted further ad saying, "to show by her acts whether her friendship is sincere nothing is so dangerous as delay. But whatever it is, the Spanish army is ready to repeat the deeds of our forefathers on American soil in defense of country and honor."

Senor Moret, the Democratic Liberal, writes a letter pointing out the safety and correctness of President Cleveland and Mr. Olney'S policy and the danger of a departure from it for the United States' international affairs. "Spain," he says, "can benefit by the American constitutional dispute by wisely pushing the war to a rapid end and establishing reforms before April. The Spanish government may now see its way to accept the good offices of President Cleveland after despising the warning of» native political parties. The government's policy Is incomprehensible. It is capable of granting autonomy in Cuba while establishing the inquisition on the Philippines. Who can tell whether the government will arrive at an understanding or will declare war with the United States. Perhaps after Captain General Weyler, with forty battalions, has cleared the province of Pinar Del Rio of rebels, the government with a stroke of the pen will establish autonomy in Cuba."

PLIGHT OF THE THREE FRIENDS.

Actors in the Becent Maval Battle Badly Frightened. Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 27.—A special to the Citizen from Tampa, says: The developments in Cuban circles todfcy have been startling and the actors in the recent qea tragedy who were on board the Three Friends are badly frightened over the gravity of the situation in which they have fceen involved. They find themselves, instead of being in a dangerous position as fllibusterers, to be in the unenviable position of pirates and the wisest Cuban heads have been summoned in consultation. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Scott Wike was at Key West investigating the matter, but the absence of a district attorney at that place made detention a farce.

This morning the affair presented the following aspect: "No denial has been made of the story

by officials of the Three Friends. Their

Colonel Emilio Nunez,.Carillo and several other Cubans arrived today on the Olivette. They admitted that the story of the engagement was true and appeared particularly proud, but when they learned of'Assistant Secretary Wike's presence, the boasting changed to consternation as |the light in which they were regarded downed upon them. It is also learned that tllp arms of the last expedition fell into Spanish hands.

Francis Lynde Stetson, Prescient Cleveland's former law partner, was it Port Tampa today. When this was learneBTit was said that he had been sent as a special emissary to look into the case. This helped to increase the fright of the Cubans. x*"

Vi BRAVE TEXANS PERIS^I

They Remembered Maceo and Refused to Surrender. New York, Dec. 28.—A special to th« World from Key West, Fla., says: The Lon« Star Company of the patriot army of West Cuba, consisting of fifteen Texas sharp shooters, perished to a man, after heroically battling for more than five hours agalns! vastly superior Spanish forces in Pinar Del Rio, killing double their own number and wounding probably as many more.

Havana officials are jubilant, passengers arriving here say, over the' news of thia victory. After a running fight the band was chased into a "bottle," a bit of hummock having only one opening. The Texans, seeing that they^ were in a hole, re-« treated to the'further end and fortified themselves hastily behind some big boulders. The Spanish troops surrounded them, pouring in afire from all sides. After sis of the fifteen had been killed and four were wounded, a flag of truce was sent in by the Spanish and the Texans were called on to surrrender, but the Americans refused to lay down their arms, shouting "We remember Maceo." The Spanish then charged and totally annihilated the little

MEREDITH READ DEAD,

Prominent Diplomatist Passed Away at Pari* Vesterdav. Paris, Dec. 27.—General Meredith Read died this morning.

John Meredith Read, diplomatist, was born in Philadelphia, on February 27, 1837. Ha was first United States consul general for France and Algeria in 1869-73, and 1870-72, and acting consul general during the Fran-co-German war. In November, 1873, he was appointed United States minister, residentin Greece. During the Russo-Turkish war he discovered that only one port in Russia was still open and he pointed out to Secretary Evarts the advantages that would accrue to the commerce of the United States were a grain fleet dispatched from New York to that point. The event justified his judgment, since the exports of cereals from the United States showed an increase within a year of $73,000,000. General Read was president of the Social Science congress at Albany, N. Y., in 1868, and vice president of the one at Plymouth, England, in 1872.
