Western farmers are vieing with one another in reporting large yields of pigs. Mr. J. G. Duxberry, of Fillmore county, Minnesota, writes to the Breeders’ Gazette that one of his Poland-China sows pro duced thirty-four pigs in twelve months all of which were doing well. Species of Plants. . S l* a^®a that there are now known to botanists 173,70 k species of plants. Os these 68,475 are flowerless and 105,231 flowering. In the time of Linnaeus, 125 years ago, less than 9,000 were known. Condition Powder. The following is given as a. cheap, yet valuable tonic powder for horses and mules "out of condition,” and that need an appetizer: Sulphate of Iron, three ounces; pulverized sugar, ’two ounces. Mix and divide Into twelveipowders. Give one morning and night in the food. Quines Growing. Quinces are propagated quite easily from cuttings, suckers or by budding and grafting, and when good varieties are used in this way the fruit pays well for the labor bestowed upon it. A great many of the quinces in our markets show defects and indicate that there is some trouble in the growing or in the selec tlons of varieties. If an old quince stock is growing on the place it is much better - to bud new and better varieties on it than to |;orinit it to produce indifferent fruit. The quince itself is more of a shrub than a tree. WW-e the quince has always been rec ommended for moist soils, it should not be planted on wet, swampy land. What the plants n.-i-d is a warm, rich soil, and not a cold, wet, swampy land. If the warm rich soil is fairly moist, so much the better. Light, dry, sandy soils are not good for it, but neither are the low wet, cold soils of many of our lowlands, where quince orchards are now located. If the soil is rich and moist the necessary moisture can be supplied without very much trouble. times very rich —1 f >as been thOr- places t s? e8 ’ but ls the soil is choked I‘P’R, ,y» tPr cannot percolate u ? h 16 ‘hero is little prospect ©f qtuftces doing well on it. ihe quince is attacked by borers and fungi, as are other fruit trees, and if g‘ood 10 ox P e oted they must be attended to.

To successfully mate the fowlsand keep them pure, if thoroughbred, it is neces sary to inclose them in rather small yards, yards that as a general thing are not large enough to sustain both chickens and grass; and as old fowls will not thrive, and young chickens will not grow nor keep healthy without green stuff of some kind, the question of how best to produce and maintain it, is one of con siderable importance as well as per plexity. It has certainly worried us in the past, until we hit upon a happy scheme that solved the problem. We have y ards both in in the country and city. The former are large (45x125 feet) and have plenty of grass, but in town they are much smaller, so we had to make some provision other than natural growth in providing grass for our town chickens. We used to fence off corners and small patches and sow rye, oits and wheat in them, and then when it was four to six inches high, we would gather it and feed it to our chickens. But that took a good deal of time daily, and the writer’s time is pretty well taken up in his daily busi ness; so we hit upon another scheme to provide green stuff. We took our spade and went right into the center of the yard and dug up and raked over a space Bxl2 feet, then we ?;ot some strips of wood 3x2 inches, 12 eet in length, and took some laths and nailed the latter to the strips, only one inch apart. We made two such pieces of lattice work. Then we sowed wheat and oats thickly over our piece of anaded ground and took our lath frames and laid them over it, elevating tbe two inner edges about eight inches from tbe ground, nailing them to small upright posts, driven into the ground. We then closed each end with a few- laths, and the job was complete. We had nearly I<M) square feet of ground sown to oats and wheal, and a frame-work over it. Tne green stuff came up thickly and grow nicely. The fowls could go all over the laths, but they could not get their heads through the cracks, and so they eould not pull up nor scratch up the stuff by the roots They just had to wait till the green carat, up through the ( cracks between the laths, and then they could eat it, and it did not take but a day or so for it to grow high enough for the chb kens to get another good feed of it. In this way we maintained green food right in our chicken yards all the season. (Occasionally we would sow a fresh place I and move, the lattice frames over it. The chickens like to jump on the frames and stand and dress their feathers, and to sun themselves when the ground is damp and wet. in fact we find the ‘green frames” and the «green stuff a splendid addition to a small .s ard.— Tennessee Far mer Inbreeding. “Bark Comstock" says; Scientific students of heredity long since discovered that where animals of mixed breeds are crossed promiscuously together there is a constant struggle of nature to revert back to a fixed type, and generally the type which is common to the ancestry of most of the animals in the pedigree of the youngster produced; but as blood influences do not always accord with the arithmetical ratio of the blood itself, that is not always the case. This tendency to revert to a previous type has been seized upon by. breeders as a means of establish ing breeds through in breeding of the blood of someone or more animals possessing the type it is desired to fix upon the breed. Colling commenced with the bull Hubbuck, and he and his successors established and perfected the Shorthorn breed of cattle, which continues to breed true to the established type when kept pure, and which when crossed struggles to assert its type. The true theory of inbreeding is little understood by the superficial breeder. An animal may possess the blood of a given ancestor without possessing the least appreciable evidence of it in his ten dencies or traits, in fact may be the coun terpart of some other ancestor, or bear the stamp of a group of ancestors. Inbreeding by means of such animals yvill not tend' to fix the type of the desired ancestor on his descendants. It is not alone that separate lines from a common source should be reunited, but those sep arate lines must each possess the ten dencies typified in the common source. That being the case, each will help and support the other in. nature’s struggle to cast back to type. When there is strength enough in this united effort it prevails not only in reproducing the type sought, but it eradicates contending in fluences and makes a prejiotent indi vidual, or one that is practically thor oughbred in the type. In reproducing animal nature, blood in fluences have their affinities and repel lents, just as we find the same in the chemistry of material nature. If we bring in contact certain chemical ele ments that have a strong affinity for each other, it is well known that though each be locked up in combination with other elements, their mutual attraction is such that they will dissolve those connections and unite with each other in a new com bination. In like manner congenial blood elements brought newly in contact will relinquish former affiliations to blend with each other in more powerful affinity. In harmonious union is strength, and such com binations of “nicks” quickly dominate the blood influences and banish opposing tendencies, as in the fluxion of metals the cohesive particles assimilate and throw off the slag. The constant tendency to revert to a preceding type is aided by in breeding whenever the elements of the inbreeding are typical of the common an cester from which they spring. Every student of pedigree has noticed that a typical strain from a superior source has usually a tendency to nick well when coupled with a kindred line from the same fountain.—Rural World. NUTMEG MSLON CULTURE. A Sketch of These Delicious Melons and How to Handle Them. This important vegetable is known by different names at the present day. If we open a catalogue we see green nutmeg, bird cantaloupe, cream mush melon, Hack ensack, etc., says the Home and Weekly. Melon-—The fruit of a cucurbitaceous plant which is eaten raw. Muskmelon —Has a small fruit with a yellow pulp and an agreeable flavor. Watermelon—Has a watery fruit. Both are native of India. Cantaloupe—So called from the castle of Cantaloupe in Italy, a small round ribbed variety of muskmelon, of a very delicate flavor. From the above definitions we observe’ that there are three established names: Watermelon, muskmelon and eantulohpe. Gray in his botany divides them into watermelon and muskmelon. But when, where, and how the name nutmeg was applied Ido not know. In fact, the term nutmeg is almost universal in some sec tions of Ohio, as well as some other mar kets outside of the state. The different names create confusion. Thby do not designate different strains. Most varie ties of the present day, except the Little Gem, aye no doubt considerably larger as well as poorer in flavor than the original once grown at the castle of Cantaloupe. And yet Mr. Gardner says: “An acre of those small varieties, well planted, will produce 400 bushels.” The perfect soil for nutmeg culture is one in which fertile sand predominates. Almost any soil under favorable condi tions, may be made to produce a crop, but it is questionable whether a paying crop for a series of years, can be grown on soils not naturally adapted to it. It is not absolutely necessary that the soil must be extremely rich. If a green crop of rye or clover is turned under, so much the better. Furrow out the ground both ways, if possible, from five to six feet, ac cording to the strong th of the soil. Planting must be delayed until the soil is warm. Those who cultivate Lima beans can easily gauge the time by them. Be not too saving about the seed. Nu merous foes attack them and frequently three-fourths, aud occasionally four fourths will perish. Put at least from fifteen to twenty-live seeds in each hill. Drop them close together; being close they come through the ground easier. The moment the ground begins to crack, eternal vigilance is necessary. Perhaps a single cut worm during one night will eat off every plant on a hill. I have never found a perfect remedy to control this in sect. , The striped cucumber bug is a very troublesome pest. No perfect remedy. Dusting the plants with land plaster, road dust, tobacco dust, etc., will help somewhat. Nutmeg growers need not be surprised some morning if they see their bright, prospective future all destroyed by the voracious insect. These pests come in swarms and are generally the most de structive, during warm, sultry weather. Alter the plants are well hardened and the leaves are rough, the insect will do very, little damage. Thin out to two or three in a hill, and perhaps in rich soil one in a hill will bring more melons than three. Thorough, shallow culture is ab solutely necessary if the highest yield is expected. The yield may be from noth ing to 200 barrels per acre. The blight, commonly called rust, sometimes attacks the vines, and in a few days the whole patch is dead. The income depends entirely upon the home market. Be not deceived with the doctrine continually promulgated, that good fruits and vegetables always find a profitable market. I have seen the best nutmegs go a begging at 25 cents per bar rel; yea, actually knew hundreds of bar rels to find no sale. In years gone by it may have been true that good fruits and vegetables always brought fair figures, but at present the profit lies in earliness. When the melons readily separate from the stems, they are ready to harvest. In warm weather it is necessary to gather them every day. Not Every melon is fit to sell. Some years nearly half are only fit for cow feed. Right at this point the nutmeg trade is injured. At first all nutmegs are dumped pn the market because they bring a fait price. The result is hundreds of con sumers get disgusted and will buy no more the balance of the season. If commis sion merenants and retailers would posi tively refuse to buy the poor specimens, then those growers who wish to put only the good specimens upon the market would have some encouragement. But under the present condition, some dealers handle only the cneap trash ana there are always growers, who will furnish them, and the final result is we all sell cow feed, but it does not pay.” THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1894. The Functions of Lime in the Soil. In the translation from the German which appeared recently, it was stated that lime was an accumulator of nitro gen. This is true in part only, it cer tainly increases the stock of available nitrogen in the soils, for when caustic lime is applied to land, it at once.decom : poses all organic matter in it containing ■ nitrogen, as grass, manure, muck, etc., and liberates nitrogen as ammonia. Though the soil retains with tight grasp ‘ a small quantity of ammonia, still, if the amount liberated is large, a correspond ing amount will be lost, so the folly of ap i plying lime in large applications is seen. No more should be applied than will liberate sufficient ammonia to be taken up by tbe growing crop. The im mediate effect from an application of lime on land which contains a considerable amount of organic matter is to greatly in * crease tbe crop; if no plant food is added, I after a few years have elapsed the soil , will be left poorer than before. This will ibe readily understood when we con sider that lime is not really a I plant food, but more of the nature of a stimulant; and if large crops are taken off and nothing added, the land is sure to become exhausted. These facts ■ have given rise to the common idea that large applications of lime impoverish the ’ soil. More lime than is necessary for the use of plants is found in all ordinary soils. Lime also tends to the unlocking of inorganic food supplies, and this is es pecially true of potash and soda. It also i has a good effect upon soils which are ' i known as sour, as it will, to a certain ' extent, neutralize tbe acid in the soil. 1 Other advantages gained by an applica tion of lime will be the rendering of stiff soils more pliable, and destroying various forms of insect life and fungus growths. LABOR ORDERS TO HARMONIZE. A Joint Conference Now in Session at St. Louis. St. Louis, Mo., June 11. —The joint con ference between the heads of the Knights of Labor and American Federation of Labor which it is confidently expected will cement the two great labor organiza tions with bonds of lasting friendship, and include all the other great labor organizations, such as the various railway organi zation. the Farmers Alliance and other bodies not in strict accord with the knights and federation, began at 10 o’clock this morning in the LaClede hotel. The conference was called to order by General Master Work man Sovereign. The organiza tions represented are the Knights of Labor, American Federation of Labor. Brotherhoods of Engineers, Firemen and Brakemen. Federation of Railwav Train men, Order of Railway Conductors ana Farmers Alliance. At 3 o’clock p. m., a recess was taken . until nearly 5 o’clock p. m. The details of the conference are not given out, but it is learned from a relia ble source that the speakers do not favor amalgamation of the different trades and labor organizations. They advocated, however, harmonious union and. con certed action in all matters concerning their mutual benefit, and for the pur . poses of the protection of labor against capital. It is believed that the confer ence will agree that all labor organiza tions shall bind themselves to an agree ment as outlined above. PENNSYLVANIA’S MINERS. A Conference To Be Held at Altoona To-day. Philadelphia, Penn., June 11.—Henry Berwind, of the Berwind-White Coat Company and chairman of the committee of the Central Pennsylvania coal opera tors. appointed to meet their striking em ployes, received a telegram, to-day from District iprefcident Bradley.- of the United Mine Workers Association, requesting that the operators’ committee confer with the representa tives of the Central Pennsylvania miners at Altoona to-morrow. The operators, headed by William Kelley, immediately met in the office of the Berwind-White Company, and after an informal confer ence decided to meet the representatives of the strikers, as requested. The com mittee left for Altoona to-night. Hopes are entertained that the conference will end the troubles. The message of President Bradley is said to have been couched in more conciliating tones than former communications, and the fact that the operators are asking to meet the strikers does away with the objections previously expressed against interference. The Berwind-White Cqal Company is making extensive preparations to resume work at its mines, whatever maj’ be the result of the conference. RESCUE OF THE CAPTIVES. The Font Badly Abused Miners Found by tne Deputies. Uniontown, Pa., June 11.—At noon to day a posse of deputy sheriffs found four of the captive workmen in a camp of the strikers near Kyle, and effected their re lease withouta conflict. The men bore evi dence of rough treatment, but were not seriously injured. They were brought to Uniontown and made information against the strikers, who had held them prison ers. They were then taken to their homes at Leisenring. DRIVEN OUT BY A THREAT. He Had Expressed Sympathy for the Cripple Creek Miners. Denver Col., June 11.—Giles O. Pearce, a metallurgist of Colorado Springs, has come to Denver after receiving the fol lowing note: To Giles Otis Pearce, Anarchist: We, as a committee, do not think there is room for you in Colorado Springs. Now take warning. This is final, signed » * Committee. Pearce was jailed for five days because he openly expressed sympathy for the Cripple Creek miners. St. Louis’ Conference a Fizzle. St. Louis, Mo., June 11.—Less than a dozen miners and only two operators were on hand when the conference was called in East St. Louis this morning. Recog nizing the whole affair a failure, the meeting adjourned sine die. Scotch Miners to Strike. Edinburg. June 11.—The Scotch Mine Owners Association was officially warned to-day that 70.000 miners would strike work on June 24, if the association car ries out its intention of reducing wages by one shilling a day. VIENNA SANAROHISTS. Two Turbulent Meetings Dispersed by the Police. Vienna, June 11.—At an anarchist meeting yesterday at Neu Lerchenfeld, a suburb of this city, the authorities were i denounced in violent language. The police were finally called upon to interfere and disperse the meeting. A riot followed, during which cheers were raised for anarchy and socialism. The police even tually succeeded in restoring order, after arresting four of the anarchist leaders. A workingmen s meeting on Land strasse was ‘also dispersed, owing to the fact that one of the speakers made a vio lent verbal attack upon the minister of justice, A Jury Unable to Agree.! Nashville. Tenn., June 11.—The jury in the case against M. A. Shurr, president Os thedefunct Commercial National Bank charged with false certification of checks, failed to agree to-day and were discharged by Judge Sage. ALABAMA BRIDGES ABLAZE. r - The Striking Miners Suspected of the Incendiarism. Five Structures Wholly or in Part Destroyed in the Last Five Days. The First Regiment Sent to Pre vent the Blowing Up of a Bridge With Dynamite. Birmingham, Ala.. June 11.—Three companies of the first regiment were sent to Blue Creek this afternoon on informa tion thp.t. a large number of armed men were known to have massed near that point for the purpose of going to Chinn creek Bridge on the Birmingham Mineral railroad, and blowing that bridge up with dynamite. This road is a branch of the Louisville and Nashville, which runs to the Blocton coal fields, and is therefore an important one. Up to this hour, nothing has been heard of the troops. Within five days five bridges have either been totally or in part destroyed, and it has been laid at the doors of the strikers. A TRAIN WRECKED. ■ Thursday near Patton, on the Georgia Pacific railroad, a bridge was destroyed and a coal train ran into it, injuring four 1 men and destroying several coal cars. Saturday morning near Adamsville, on the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming ham railroad, a bridge was found burn ing, the ties and stringers being saturated with oil. Yesterday on the Linton branch of the Louisville and Nashville, from Warrior to Linton and Coaldale, a trestle was burned. The bridge was fired from both ends, was 80 feet long, and was totally destroyed. On the Galloway branch of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham, near Carbon Hill, a bridge was discovered on fire. Fifty feet of the structure was destroyed. BLOWN UP WITH DYNAMITE. Another bridge across Chickasaw creek, on the main line of the Kansas City Memphis and Birmingham, was almost entirely destroyed with dynamite about midnight last night. This occurred just after fast mail No. 4 had passed over. The entire abutment of one end was blown away. This bridge has as yet not been thoroughly repaired and transferring has been resorted to. This structure is built of iron and it will cost considerable to repair it. At 1:30 o’clock this morning, the track walker of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad at Carbon Hill, found a trestle two miles beyond that point on fire. This bridge is 150 feet long and was on fire at both ends. Five bents of this structure were destroyed. Os course, all these bridge burnings are charged to the miners, whether guilty or ; not. THE MINERS DESPERATE. Desperation is depicted on the counte nances of many of the miners, and it is ! not unlikely that many of their families j are in desperate circumstances. A con i ference of miners and operators is called i for to-morrow, but it is understood the I operators will not confer with the men. Negroes are plentiful and are being em ployed in the several mines, and it looks as if the strikers will not have any offers from those who own aud operate the mines in this district. THE TROOPS OFF FOR BLOSSBURG. Birmingham, Ala., June 11,11:15 p. m.— The three companies of t he First regiment ordered to Blue Creek have just returned and the entire regiment has been ordered to Blossburg, where trouble is expected to-night. Just enough men have been left in Camp Forney to guard the camp. MINIMS >IF Jfi A BRi£g£T ‘ The Sheri'ff Accus'd of Refusing to Grant Protection. Wheeling, W’. V.. June 11.—A telegram was received in this city this afternoon saying that a briage at Midvale, on the Cleveland, Loraine and Wheeling rail road. 240 feet in liength, had been set on fire and was being destroyed. At 2p. m. the officers of the company say the sheriff refused to protect the company’s property, and also refused to call on the militia. General Manager Woodford has sent a telegram to Gov. McKinley, asking that troops be sent to the scene The destruction of the bridge will probably delay freight traffic for several days. A coal train was fired on at Flushing to-day. Troops at once dispersed the crowd. The Baltimore and Ohio yards below this city were cleared of coal to-day for the first time in a week. The troops are still in possession. No disturbances has occurred. Charles Davis, a strike leader, was to day sentenced to 60 days in jail by United States Judge Goff. The strikers claim they will resume operations at the old stand as soon as the militia are called away. Paraguay Has a New President. Paris, June 11.—A dispatch from As sumption says by a coup d'etat Senor Maringo has assumed the presidency of Paraguay. There was no disorder.

Reynolds Post, No. 26, G. A. R., voluntarily writes: “I was in the army fonr years, was wound s' 4 and contracted sciatica and rheumatism. I have suffered ever since. I lost the use of my left leg and side, and have tried almost every medicine known, and I think I have had the best physicians in the country, but failed to get any relief. Every spring I was flat on my back, and must say that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the Best medicine I have ever taken. It has done me the most good. It was recommended to me for rheumatism, and I am satisfied and know that it will do all that you claim Hood’s "x Cures for it.

McKinley ordered the Fifth regiment of infantry into the field to-night to do duty in pro tecting property in Stark and Tuscara was counties, where the miners are burn ing bridges along the lines of the Wheeling and Lake Erie and Cleveland. Loraine and Wheeling railroads. All the armed lorce of the state, except the first regiment, is now in the field. DYNAMITE ON A BRIDGE. Wheeling Creek, 0., June 11.—At noon to-day two men were observed acting in a very suspicious manner at the Wheel ing creek bridge of Jhe Cleveland, Lo raine and Wheeling road. On the ap proach of two soldiers belonging to the Second Ohio regiment the men fled. An examination of the bridge disclosed the fact that a dynamite bomb had been so placed that a train passing would -have exploded the bomb, destroyed the bridge and wrecked the train. TROOPS AT PANA SENT HOME. The Town Disquited by Stories That the Miners Are Massing. Pana, 111., June 11.—The first regiment Illinois National Guards left on a special train over the Illinois Central to-night for Chicago, the situation not demanding their presence longer. The “home guards,” however, are subject to call at i any time. Stragglers still wander into town., and i the several camps of tfie strikers around ! the city are receiving new recruits. , The mines are being guarded by men ’’ arfped by the operatoro, and tfie city Uy special police. Two miners, who arrived in the city from the south this evening, state that the strikers are massing along the Central for an onslaught on Pana. There is a feeling of uneasiness and why the troops should be withdrawn just at this time cannot be understood. Tips have reached here that a large number of foreign strikers are congregated at the old Brown farm, two miles east of the city. Additions are being made to the police force and many citizens are guard ing private property. WEDDED TO A NEGRO. A Society Woman of Vermont Mar ries a Hotel Porter. Boston, June 11.—A Bennington, Vt., special to this evening’s Globe says: “Jennie Mayo, of Middlesex, Vt., was married to Thomas Strong, of Castleton, Vt., last Wednesday. The bride is a well known society woman of Middlesex, and the groom a colored porter at the Ameri- ’ can House at Saratoga. The marriage ceremony was performed by the pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and was witnessed by half a dozen people. Last summer Miss Mayo and her mother went to Saratoga, and registered at Congress hall. Miss Mayo, who is about 24 years old, became ac quainted with Strong, and soon the affec tion between them ripened into love. About a month ago Strong returned to Saratoga for the season. Miss Mayo had been kept apprised of his movements. The two met m Saratoga and were mar ried. The marriage certificate is signed by Mrs. L. Van Dyke and Miss May Wineberry. Four years ago Strong’s sis ter ran away with a white man and mar ried him.” WIMAN ON TRIAL. The Alleged Forgery on a Check for $5,000 Called Up Firet. New York, June 11.—Erastus Wiman was placed on trial to-day before Judge Ingraham in the court of oyer and term iner, on two indictments charging forg ery. The court room was well filled with spectators long before the judge took the bench. The defendant entered at 10:30 o’clock with two of the counsel who will fight to prove his innocence, James N. Greensheilds. queen’s counsel of Mon treal. and A. B. Boardman, of this city. Ex-Secretary Tracy, also counsel for the defence, arrived a few moments later. Although there were two indictments against Mr. Wiman, both in connection with his partnership dealings with the firm of R. G. Dun & Co., the district at torney had decided to try him on the one which charges him with having forged the signature of E. W. Bullinger on a check on the Chemical National Bank of this city, dated Feb. 6, 1893, for $5,000, drawn by R. G. Dun & Co. to Mr. Bull inger's order. —a ■ * CLEVELAND ILL. The Warm Weather Knocks the Presi dent Out for a Day. Washington, June 11.—President Cleve land has been somewhat affected by the debilitating warm weather and was in disposed to-day. The rezular Monday public reception was abandoned and a physician was called on for a prescrip tion, which is expected to restore the President to his usual health by to-mor row. ' Killed by a Negro.

A ROW OVER VANCE’S GRAVE The Widow and Son at Outs Over Its Location. Mrs. Vance Has the Remains Reinter red in Her Own Lot at Night-The Son Has Them Moved Back to Their Original Resting Place—Mrs. Vance Don’t Want the Remains to Lie Be- • side the Senator’s Birst Wife. New York, June 11.—An Asheville, N. C., special says: “The widow of Senator Zebulon B. Vance came to Asheville Wednesday and had the body of the sena tor moved from the Vance family plat in the cemetery, where it was originally buried, to a plat she had bought the day the senator was buried. Charles N. Vance, the son of the senator, and his private secretary during his life, arrived in Asheville Saturday, had the body again disinterred and reburied in the family plat. Young Vance declares that it was his father’s dying request that his body should be buried in this plat, which the senator had *bought and beautified during his life, and that his first wife’s body (young Vance's mother) should be placed beside him. Young Mr. Vance says he is determined that his father’s wishes shall be obeyed if the law has to be in voked in order to carry them out. The plat of ground to which Mrs. Vance bad i the senator’s body' removed is the “Hill : top,” the most beautiful and commanding ’ snot in the cemetery, and her object in placing the senator’s body there was the fitness of the site for the erection of a great monument to the senator’s mejuorv by People of the state. Mra* Vance fs a Catholic, anil when it was found that the senator was dying a priest was about to perform the last sacrament, when Charles N. Vance interfered. Senator Vance was a Protestant, and, it is said, had requested that none of the rites of the Catholic church be allowed over him. Young Vance said he would permit his father’s body to be removed to the plat secured by Mrs. Vance provided his first wife’s body be placed beside the senator’s, but this Mrs. Vance declined to agree to. It is not known what steps Mrs. Vance will take when she learns what has been dOne -” Mfe. A CARD FROM THE SON. Raieigh, N. C., June 11.—The News- Observer-Chronicle has received the fol lowing card which appeared in the Asheville Citizen to-day: To the Public—My father's request and di rection to me were that his tody should be laid to rest in the lot in the Asheville ceme tery selected and purchased by himself, and his first wife, the mother of his children should be by his side. In compliance with this expressed wish,he was placed there by the Senate committee with the concurrence of his family and widow. There he remained for nearly two months, when on last Tuesday evening late the remains were secretly and surreptitiously taken up and placed in another lot in the cemetery. This was known to be without the knowledge or consent of his sons, his only brother, or his sister; even against their desire. Within one mile of the ceme tery was one brother and three sisters of our father, and had either of these been consulted they would have protested against this high-handed act. most cer tainly against the manner of removal, and especially against the opening of the casket, which latter was done, for what pur pose we do not know. The removal might even have been submitted to. had not the party making the removal, in writing, as the last and final ultimatum on the subject, re fused to allow the wife of his early manhood, our mother, to be placed by his side. This violation of a saersd obligation was to me so revolting that I felt that it was my impera tive duty to the memory of my dead father to replace the remains in the original place. This has been done, and I trust and pray they may there remain in peace. Sad as has been this duty, it was rendered necessary by tho promise I repeatedly made my father. It is also humiliating, and morti fying to me that all this has occurred and this putllcation made necessary. But I see no escape from it. We appeal to the senti ment ot the good people of this community and of the state ot North Carolina to sustain us in our efforts to secure the per manent and peaceful repose of this good man. our father, in the spot of his own selection and choice, and where he was placed by his colleagues of the United States Senate with the full consent of his family and widow, and where may rest by his side the mother of his children. Very respectfully. Charles N. Vance. WHIPPED TO DEATH. A Colored Farmer of Louisiana Killed by Murderous Whitecaps.
