4682 L Mar. 14:7/1 Joseph Smith, 19, of 60 Harmon st., was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Holzworth and charged with grand larceny. Smith is accused of stealing two watch chains worth $175 belonging to Col. John T. Deweese and Mrs. Deweese.

The young man, until within a few months ago, had been employed in the bat business, but the times became so dull that he lost his place. It is thought that this had much to do with his theft.

4683 L Mar. 14:8/2,3 A few days ago a LEADER reporter, in company with Sheriff Winslow, paid a visit to the state penitentiary at Columbus, where many former residents of Cuyahoga county are incarcerated.

The reporter and several other visitors made a tour of inspection under the guidance of the warden, Colonel Innis. Many Clevelanders were seen in the course of this tour.

"In an article of this kind it is impossible to do justice to so vast an institution, and one which is really a world within itself, for inside these walls are carried on almost all the industries known to mechanics. The entire labor, or such portions as can be used, is let out to the highest bidder, and to him the authorities look for the safe return of the men. The prison, with workshops and other buildings, covers twenty-eight acres, which is entirely insufficient for the wants of the institution, and must, at no distant day, be enlarged."

of persons residing at the home during the quarter was 30. $630 was
received in contributions during the period. The educational work of

held daily.

4685 L Mar. 15:4/6 The Cleveland Paving co. has been putting down samples of concrete pavement in two or three prominent places in St. Louis, with an eye to its adoption to a considerable extent throughout the city. There was an attempt to put a bill through the city council for paving the entire length of Pine street, about three miles, with this concrete, but it met with such opposition on the part of some of the papers that it failed to pass. The papers contended that it would be $300,000 thrown away if it were done, on the ground that the pavement would be utterly worthless during our hot summers.

4687 L Mar. 16; ed: 4/1 Cincinnati has ratified the act giving the trustees of the Southern railroad $6,000,000 more with which to complete the road. This was sensible and proper. "The example is a good one for Cleveland in respect to the viaduct question. The viaduct must be finished, and the time to do it is now, when labor and materials are plenty and cheap.... We want no abandoned skeleton of a bridge in the midst of this city to advertise to the world that Cleveland is in decay." (3)

4688 L Mar. 16:7/2 In police court yesterday Joseph Smith, arrested recently on a charge of stealing $200 worth of jewelry from the residence of Col. John L. Deweese, was fined $200 and costs and was sentenced to 30 days in the workhouse. Because of the boy's age--he has not yet reached 20--the charge was made petit larceny instead of grand larceny.

4690 L Mar. 16:7/3 In a letter to the editor, T. M. Garvin says:
The article printed in the LEADER of Mar. 14, charging James O'Neil
and myself with assaulting James G. Thatcher, an inmate at the asylum,
is incorrect. The injury was unavoidable and the patient was treated
immediately. That we denied any knowledge of the injury and afterward
confessed that we knew all about it, is also utterly erroneous, for we
informed the superintendent that night all about it.

4691 L Mar. 16:8/2 The following new rules have been adopted by the library committee: From and after April 1, no books can be drawn from the library unless a ticket is presented; persons losing their tickets cannot obtain new ones till after the expiration of one week; all books must be returned immediately on entering the room.

"Quite a radical change is also to be made on the adoption of the above rules. The person drawing, on entering, will leave his book at the desk, and when he takes a book from the shelf, it is charged to him then and there by the assistant, thus obviating the necessity of standing for a long time in waiting for a chance to have the book recorded. The change goes into effect on April 1st."

repeat that denial, and add that it was written by one of the Republican editors of a Republican paper in Cleveland.'--PLAIN DEALER.

"Since the PLAIN DEALER knows so much about the dispatch, why could it not say that the Republican paper refcrred to was the LEADER. The city editor of the PLAIN DEALER was for a long time the telegraph correspondent of the Chicago TIMES in this city. The supposition that he was the author of the telegram in question was not only a natural one, but it was confirmed by the attitude of the PLAIN DEALER, on the subject of investigation." (3)

4693 L Mar. 18; ed: 4/1 - "The Democratic authorities of New York city, having charge of the children in the County poor house on Randall's Island, turned over to Roman Catholic institutions 163 of their children, and only eight to Protestant institutions. It does not matter that a portion of those children were of Protestant parentage, they were placed in the hands of Romish priests at the expense of the public treasury, for the express purpose of being brought up and educated as Romanists. It is in that way that the Democracy are enabled to buy the entire support of Romish voters."

4694 L Mar. 18; ed: 4/3 The southern press is at last beginning to realize that one of the most potent reasons why northern capital and labor refuse to seek the south, is because of the great risks that life and property are subjected to by the barbarous habit of the southern people of carrying and using arms. That these customs do rule in the greater part of the south is proven by the 40,000 murders that have been committed there since the war. The stand taken against the universal habit of carrying pistols and knives by the New Orleans REPUBLICAN and the BULLETIN should command the respect of every patriotic man in the south.

4695 L Mar. 18:4/5,6 - The unpleasant weather of yesterday did not prevent Irish patriotism from showing itself in the celebration of St. Patrick's day. By ten o'clock in the forenoon the streets were alive with gaily caparisoned men, and by noon the organizations that were to take part in the parade were at their posts. The streets along the line of march were crowded with onlookers, while from almost every house top the green flag of "Ould Ireland" and the stars and stripes floated side by side. In spite of the blinding snowstorm the parade and everything connected with it was a great success.

The evening was devoted to a general good time and a large number of banquets were held by the various Irish societies. Among the organizations having programs and banquets were: The Irish Literary and Benevolent association, the Edgeworth club, St. Bridget's parish, the Father Mathew society, and the Knights of Erin.

4698 L Mar. 20:8/2,3 The city council having adjourned some weeks
since, a proposition was made that all hands turn in and have a grand
old spelling school. The idea was hailed with joy, and in less than
ten minutes Farley and Weed had "chosen sides," while Rhineroceros
William was seated in the speaker's chair with a last year's annual
report in one hand and a gavel in the other. With Mr. Hughes' spec-
tacles on his nose he looked in every sense the country school teacher,
while the Honorables gathered before him, closely resembling the school
in every thing but innocence and beauty. After a while a restless feel-
ing began to show itself and the Solicitor thought it best to adjourn.
"As you have spelled so nobly," said he, "we will now spell each other
for a few moments at Pat Cunningham's, that place where

Reason flows at the festal bowl,

And lunches free, feed the hungry soul!"

He feels that although he has always attempted to conduct the affairs of the church so that the members would be enabled to erect an edifice, and that since he has been unsuccessful, it is better that he resign.

"The above can only be characterized as an unqualified lie. The LEADER said no such thing. How utterly indefensible and hopeless must be the cause that can only be supported by resorting to falsehood."

4702 L Mar. 21:8/2,3 The annual meeting of the Young Ladies Temperance league, held last evening at the Stone church was opened by a short speech by Mrs. S. C. Lovis, the retiring president.

Secretary Fannie E. Fuller read a report beginning with the removal of the league rooms from Heards' hall to the building now occupied at 213 Erie st. The rent of this building is $900 a year. It was furnished by the donations of the members.

The object of the league's home is to afford temporary relief and shelter to poor, friendless girls, and to help them become self-supporting. Bible classes, sociables, fetes, and sewing meets, supervized by Misses Ingersoll, Andrews, and Mrs. Rose, have been held during the year to afford entertainment for the league members and to provide funds for the working expenses.

The treasurer, Mrs. Howard Mansfield, reported receipts for the year totaling $3,715.67 and expenditures totaling $3,591.10, leaving a

balance of $124.57.

At the close of the reading of the reports Rev. H. C. Hadyn, Rev. C. S. Pomeroy and Miss Sarah Fitch made remarks.

Twenty officers were elected for the year.

4704 L Mar. 23; ed: 4/2,3 The city council passed a resolution requesting the person who sent an erroneous dispatch to a Chicago paper, reflecting on the superintendent of the workhouse here, to correct his statement. The resolution identifies the person as being on the staff of the HERALD and a correspondent for the Chicago TIMES.

The PLAIN DEALER gave currency to the statement that the dispatch in question was sent by a member of the editorial staff of a Republican paper, without giving the name of that paper, thus throwing unjust suspicion on the LEADER. It will thus be seen that the lying and malignant dispatch sent to the Chicago TIMES was sent by a member of the HERALD staff. It now becomes incumbent on that sheet to see that the slanderer who sent the dispatch be made to send a distinct retraction for publication in the TIMES. It is about time that this wholesale slandering of men in office for partizan effect be stopped.
