The scarcity of buildings for rent Is, in
the opinion of the Recorder, the most seri
ous obstacle to the prosperous advance of
Americus.
Our special correspondent in Americus,
it will be remembered, telegraphing us re
cently about the loss of the store and stock
0 f Mr. E. Brake, stated that Mr. B. was in
bad health, and had been so overcome by
the shock of his loss that he died. We are
glad to see that this report is incorrect. The
Reorder says Mr. Brake is not only not dead
but much improved, and has fair prospects
of recovery.
There was a slight frost on St. Simon’s
island last Wednesday.
The Valdosta Times is very sorry to learn
that the cut worms have already got into
the young corn in that section, and that
tbey are mowing it down by rows. It says;
"Several planters have already plowed up
aud planted over again. This is 6ad news
coming along with the rust in oats, for it
will be remembered that the corn was cut
short last year by these very pests, doing
greater damage than the severe drought
that followed.”
gays the Atlanta Phonograph: “Last week
we traveled through several of the best ag
ricultural counties in Southwest Georgia.
Farmers are working hard, and are in pretty
good condition financially. They are, how
ever, using too much guano, and if this
happens to be a bad crop year some of them
will be dead broke next fall.”
The wheat crop of Richmond county is
reported to be in excellent condition, and if
do set back occurs will turn out unusually
ijell.
The Augusta Chronicle heads the dispatch
announcing the abandonment of the con
struction of the Georgia Western “Grady
scuttled.”
It is reported in the Augusta Chronicle of
yesterday that there is a duel on the tapis
between Grandison Harris, Jr., and Nelson
Butler, of that city, both colored, growing
o t of the recent Republican convention.
Harris favored the first and Butler the sec
ond delegation. It is said that Butler
grossly insulted Harris in the meeting, and
that in consequence a challenge has passed
and a hostile meeting will probably take
place within twenty-four hours.
Paul Boyton’s performances on the Au
gusta canal were entirely successful and
highly enjoyed by a large crowd of specta
tors. It is even reported on Friday that a
child fell (or jumped) into the water for the
express purpose of being saved by the Cap
tain, and that he accomplished the feat in a
most satisfactory manner, he catching up
the child, placing it on his breast, and thus
floating into shore with it in safety. He re
ceived loud applause, and now Augusta Is
crowing over Atlanta because the latter city
has not got any canal, and therefore cannot
6ee Boyton perform.
The Chattanooga Times asserts that the
Chattanooga and Rome Railroad is an as
sured fact.
The banner April fool hoax of the 8tate
occurred at Dalton on Thursday. It was
rumored that Gen. Grant would arrive on
the Western and Atlantic train, and quite a
number of the citizens assembled at the car
shed to see him. The Dalton brass band
also turned up, and discoursed sweet music
in honor of His Majesty, but the future
Emperor did not put in an appearance.
The “fence or no fence” question is now
seriously agitating the minds of the farmers
of Wilkes county.
A letter from Nabunta, Wayne county,
states that chicken thieves have for some
time past been committing wholesale depre
dations in that neighborhood; and in many
instances have stolen every chicken from
the places which they raided. They began
their operations seme time in January, and
have not confined their depredations en
tirely to chickens either, but in some cases
have robbed houses, gardens and
potato banks. In one Instance a
lady, Mrs. Jensy Crews, becoming alarmed
for the safety of her chicken house, in
duced a relative, Mr. Noah Crews, to 6it up
all night and watch it for her. While he
was so engaged, the thieves visited his
house, and during his absence, 6tole every
fowl he possessed. In another instance
they visited the premises of Francis Crews,
and while engaged in their depredations
were discovered. An attack was made on
them, which they resisted, firing Into the
house, and wounding Jesse Crews and two
of his sisters with Email shot, after which
they deliberately proceeded with their
plundering. The thieves seem to be very
hold, and it is strange that they cannot be
made to feel the strong arm of the law.
The Sumter RejndAican reports that the
bogs in Americus are suffering with cholera,
and many of them are dying from it daily.
The Americus Republican says 8heriff Joe
IV. Mize reports numerous caterpillars on
■als place west of Americus, and in the
woods near by. He states that they are not
die cotton caterpillar, but is very anxious
to know w hat they portend at this early
period. He has never seen anything of the
kind at this time of the year before.
Augusta Chronicle: “To-morrow or Tues
day Maj. W. E. McCoy will break ground
near his waste factory, on the river bank,
f »r a new yarn and picker room. The mill
will be called tbe ‘Riverside Factory,’ will
he two stories and a basement, 90 feet by 50,
w hile the picker room, 24 feet by 50, will
contain one story and a basement. Tbe
mill will have 1,200 spindles, with a capacity
for twice that number. The new mill will
make yarns as does the Globe Mills of this
city- This is a decided mark of improve
ment of Maj. McCoy’s factory, aud is an en
couraging element In the cotton manufac
tories in Augusta.”
A correspondent from Bainbridge to the
Albany Advertiser says : “Last Friday Mrs.
W. D. Girtman, living In this county, un-
'•ertook to burn the soot out of a stack
chimney with grass. She succeeded to her
sorrow. Not only did 6be burn out the
wot, but the dwelling, smoke house and
corn crib. In fifteen minutes after the fire
caught the dwelling every out house was iu
flames. Her husband aud hands were at
w ork in the field some distance from the
premises, and before they could get there
' early everything of value was destroyed.
Birtinan lost thirty dollars in money, nearly
all the household aud kitchen furniture,
wearing apparel, aDd all of his corn, bacon
and syrup. He bad just emerged from
financial troubles of the past, and had every-
T hlng needful to raise a crop without run
ning in debt. All perished in the flames,
leaving him penniless and his family naked
&hd homeless,”
Americas Republican: “As Mr. Eugene
Byrd was returning to town from his home
on Friday night last, and when just opposite
the Fair Grounds, some unknown person
made an attempt to stab him. The would
be assassin was crouched behind a tree, and
as Mr. Byrd passed the stroke was made,
cutting through the coat and shirt sleeve of
the left arm, and causing a slight wound.
The fellow then took to his heels, followed
l>y two bullets from Mr. Byrd’s pistol.
W hether the bullets stopped on coming up
with him or passed beyond, like the identity
of the fleeing man, is unknown.”
Washington Gazette: “Yesterday after
noon Deputy Sheriff Kendall, with posse,
four prisoners and a number of witnesses
came riding into town. The prisoners were
John D. Coxwell, Ernest Walker, Newton
Nichols and James Blackburn, who had
been arrested the night before, charged with
the murder of John Turner. This murder
occurred about five weeks ago, and was re
ported at thfe time in these columns. The
preliminary trial will take place this after
noon, with Judge Wingfield presiding. As
a trial Is to be had, comment on the case
just now would be Ill-timed. Some of the
prisoners are from Lincoln county.”
Thomasville Times: “The District Confer
ence of this (the Thomasville) district of
the Methodist Church will assemble at
Bainbridge on next Thursday morning. If
nothing happens, it will be a large and, in
some respects, an important body. It is
largely composed of the laity, one of its
chief functions being to elect lay delegates
to the annual conference. Another impor
tant it^m to be before the ensuing confer
ence is the building of a district parsonage
for the residence of the Presiding Elder.
All the various interests of the church In
this section of the State will be looked into,
such as Sunday schools, missionary, finan
cial, educational, and so on.”
The Darien Gazette says: “The river con
tinues so high that there has been scarcely
any timber on the market 6ince our last
issue, and no considerable amount is ex
pected to arrive for several days yet. The
few rafts that were sold during the week
brought more, perhaps, than they would
have done had there been more on the mar
ket, but there is no indication that the price
will be less than for the last two months.
It will take a large amount to fill the orders
already taken, and unless there is much
more cut than the cutters report, the prices
will continue good.”
Bainbridge Democrat: “Last Saturday even
ing late a terrible cyclone passed through
a portion of this county, doing considerable
damage, though we have not yet learned
the extent of it. On the west side of tbe
river the plantations of Capt. Rich, W. J.
Hadden Co. and W. B. Lynn were left in
a state of total wreck, most of the houses
and fencing having been blown down.
Major Harris, of Hadden <fe Co., estimates
their damage at over $1,000, and the others
suffered equally as much iu proportion. The
storm crossed the Flint just below Donal-
son’s ferry, and struck the farm of Mr. Geo.
Lovett, unroofing bis dwelling and out
houses, and blowing down his gin house and
. shop. His loss is heavy. The cyclone pass
ed out of the county through the Sixteenth
district, and spread havoc on every hpnd.
The Harrells and Dollars of that section
suffered most, so far as we can learn. For
tunately there were no lives lo6t. The track
of the cyclone was about five hundred yards,
and its tremendous roariDg, as it passed In
its journev of destruction, is described as
simply awful. Great trees were snatched
off at the roots and carried away as a feath
er. The losses to our people are serious,
and many will not be able to repair them.’
The high price of gas in Atlanta has led
to the use of kerosene oil at the State
House. The Cojistitution says: “ Seeing
yesterday that the gas at the capitol had
been shut off, and that kerosene lamps had
. been substituted, we inquired the cause and
i learned from Colonel Avery that for the
quarter which closed April 1st the gas bPl
for the State House was upwards of five
hundred dollars. Colonel Avery 6ays that
Governor Colquitt appealed to the gas com
pany for a reduction, saying that It was im
possible that so much gas could have been
burned during the quarter. Tbe company
in response to the appeal answered that the
gas metre testified to the amount being con
sumed. The Governor then ordered the gas
to be shut off, and instructed the purchase
of eight lamps for tbe use of the offices of
the various departments of the government.
Colonel Avery informs us that by using
kerosene tbe expense of lighting the build
ing will not exceed one hundred dollars per
quarter. He also states that during tbe ses
sion of the Legislature, when night sessions
were frequently held and gas burned in all
of the committee rooms aud the halls be
sides, tbe gas bills per quarter were only a
few dollars more than the bill for the first
quarter of the present year.”
Valdosta Times: “Abe Wolf, an old col
ored man, living on Mr. Joe Lewis’ place,
ir the River Fork district of this county,
was brutally murdered by unknown parties
last Friday night. He and his wife lived
alone in a little log bouse, some distance
from any other habitation, and the night of
the killing, at a late hour, she ran up to Mr.
Lewis’ house, in her night clothes, and
roused him up with the story thattwo negro
men, unknown to her, had forced her hus
band to give up his money, and had taken
him out and killed him. She was bruised
and bloody and said they bad knocked her
down with a club. The neighbors gathered
in and found the old man lying on his face
in the plowed ground about fifty yards from
the house, dead. His head and face was
beat almost into a jelly. The tracks indi
cated that two persons had gone with, or
carried him, into the field, and the fight
seemed to have commenced at the house.
Bloody sticks were lying around, and frag
ments of the old man’s night clothes marked
the outlines of a desperate struggle. After
a prolonged delay, an inquest was held, but
nothing as to whom the murderers were
came out. The wife seemed to be either a
knave and accomplice, or a consummate
fool, as she could not tell the same story
about it twice. It is believed by many in
t.he neighborhood that she had a hand in
the murder. It is known that they have not
lived together peaceably.”
The North Genius Tired of the
Exodus
Louisville Courier-Journal.
It should be noted that the Republi
can organs have very suddenly almost
ceased their efforts to have the negro
population of the Southern States trans
planted to the North. That experiment
in a small way in Kansas and Indiana
was enough. They are not so anxious to
“save the poor black man” in that way,
and especially because they perceive it is
going to cost them a very large amount
of money without the political results
they anticipated. Having started the
negroes by linked lies long drawn out
on the Northern route, the exodus
managers perceive that they can
not stop them very easily, and
hence the most frantic efiorts are
now being made to send the negroes off
to Liberia. The Northern Republican
organs are now full of sketches of the
beauties of the African republic and its
“glorious climate,” “so well adapted for
American negroes,” etc. They are pro
fuse in their counsel to the negroes to go
there and tell them that they will all get
rich in a few weeks. This Liberian
heaven does not draw very heavily, The
Southern negroes are afraid of it. they
have been fooled many times
about it The ill fated migra
tion from South Carolina, two years
ago is still remembered. Our Republi
can’ fellow citizens cannot get the ne-
croes off to that febrile climate. But
they roust not shirk their duty. Those
negroes are going to settle in the North
ern States. They expect to he admitted
on terms of perfect cqua ity m Northern
communities. They will take no dodg-
ing having been told bo often that no
distinctions of color exist in the “free
Norf ” and our Republican fellow citi
zens must meet the emergency like little
men and pay the costs without murmur
ing. , -
A North Carolina Romance.—At
T nmherton N. C., last spring, Miss
Amelia Linkhaw shot aud killed Edward
Hartman, the drummer for a Baltimore
house, whom she charged os her seducer.
She was tried and acquitted on the
ground of temporary insanity. During
her imprisonment Miss Lmkhaw re
ceived many letters of sympathy. Among
her correspondents was Charles Little,
an officer of the custom house at SulK
van’s Island, near Charleston S C. He
became deeply interested in the fate ot
the fair prisoner, and wrote to her regu
larly every week or two. The corre
spondence was continued after the young
woman’s acquittal, and the result has
been a marriage of the parties wh
was consummated at Florence, S. C., a
few days ago.
A gentleman who visited Menlo Park
last week in behalf of the Boston Jour
nal reports that all except two or three of
the paper carbon lamps have been taken
down, and that Edison admitted that
they had been destroyed.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, April 3.—The House met
this morning, Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, lu
the chair, for debate only, and immediately
went Into aommlttee of the whole on the
state of the Union.
Mr. Covert, of New York, addressed the
committee on the subject of the revision of
the tariff. He had voted the other day to
refer the Townahend bill to the Committee
on Ways and Means, not because he was
not in favor of a revision of the tariff, but
because he bad thought that that was the
committee which, under the rules, had
jurisdiction over the subject. He argued
especially In favor of a reduction of the
duty on steel rails, and in favor of placing
chrome ore on the free list; but though he
desired a revision of the tariff he desired It
made in a legitimate, orderly way, and
would therefore oppose any project looking
to the appointment of a commission on the
subject of tariff revision.
Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, replied to a
speech made 6ome time ago by Mr. House,
of Tennessee, in which that gentleman had
opened the Tilden campaign, and had 60
forcibly reiterated the ancient cry of
“fraud.” He denied that the gentleman
had expressed the sentiment of the people
of Tennessee, if he bad expressed that
of his party. His speech would stand
as a lasting monument to the
vitiated taste and malignant hate of
that party. The country was told that
there had been no loyalty in the South dur
ing the war, and it had been told that by
the copperheads of the North, the most
venomous serpents in the world. He as
serted that there had been many loyal men
in the South, and that that section had fur
nished the Federal army with nearly half a
million of men. It seemed that this service
was to be foreotteu and the Tilden cam
paign prosecuted on the policy that friend
ship to the Union was to be regarded as a
badge of political infamy and social dis
honor. Ills colleague, A. W. House, had
attacked the President. He would not
attempt to defend the President, for
that officer needed do defense. For his
colleague to assert that President Hayes
had been Inaugurated by fraud was equiva
lent to making the admission that the
Democratic party had been brave enough in
1861 to force war without cause, but too
cowardly to do so iu 187T, when, it said,
that the President had been counted In by
uncondonable fraud. How had the mighty
fallen! What had come over the spirit of
the chivalrous Democracy of the South?
He then turned his attention to the
“political assessment” bill, ridiculing
the present civil service system, aud refer
ring in the course of his remarks to George
William Curtis as the prince of political
humbugs, and to Secretary Schurz as the
king of civil service reform.
Mr. Lowe, of Alabama, spoke In opposi
tion to the funding bill. He had always
had Democratic sympathies, but he declar
ed here and now that of the two old fac
tions, the high tariff and hard money Demo
crats were not to be preferred to hard
money and high tariff Republicans.
The committee rose aud the House at 4
o’clock adjourned.
THE ELECTIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN.
New York, April 3. — The Associated
Press has received by cable the returns of
elections in 218 constituencies in Great Brit
ain, showing that the Liberals have elected
206 members, the Conservatives 122 and the
Home Rulers 12. The Liberals have gained
58 seats and lost 17, while the Home Rulers,
go far, show a gain of 3 s^ata.
Edward Blrkbeck and Sir Edmund H. K.
Lacon, Conservatives, for Norfolk North;
Lord Brooke and Sir John W. Mills, Conser
vatives, for Somersetshire East; Sir Alex
ander H. Gordon,Liberal, for Aberdeenshire
East, were elected without opposition. The
defeat of the Right Hon. Jas. Lowther,
Conservative, at York (city), Chief Secretary
for Ireland, Is received witn wild delight by
the Home Rulers and Nationalists
in Ireland. Sir Jno. Lubbeck, Liberal, who
was defeated at Maidstone, will probably
stand for Radnor district, In the event that
the Marqui6 of HartingtoD, Liberal leader,
is successful in northeast Lancashire,
the latter having been elected for
Radnor district and not for Lanca
shire as previously announced. The poll
for London University opened on the 31st
ultimo, and will remain open until Monday,
5th instant. The voting is viva voce and not
bv ballot. Up to noon to-day the Right
rfon. Robert Lowe, Liberal, Chancellor of
the Exchequer in Gladstone’s government,
received 9oT votes and A, Charles, Conser
vative, 494.
London, April 3.—Dispatches from Paris,
Berlin, Vienna and Rome represent that
disappointment and uneasiness are felt In
these capitals at the success of the Liberal
party In Great Britain, while at 8t. Peters
burg the news is received with the utmoit
^The correspondent of the Times at Berlin
says he has good reasons for stating that in
the highest official circles the prospect of a
Liberal victory In the Parliamentary elec
tions in England is regarded with no small
fear and trembling. The universal belief In
Germany is that the peace of Europe would
be much more assured under a Tory than
under a Whig government.
London, April 3.—The Times In a leader
on the elections says the first question
which arises is what is to be the composition
of the new Cabinet. Lord Harttngton In a
recent goeech seemed to imply that it was
in some degiee an open question who would
lead the Liberals. It will be for Lord jlea-
consfield to advise the CJueen who Is to be
the oriioial chief.
The Parliamentary leader of the Liberals
is Lord Granville, who “has every claim, on
the ground of past services, rank and ability,
to become Premier. Lord Harringtoni will
hold an important position in the Cabinet,
and will lead bis party in the House of Com
The following candidates for Parliament
have been elected: Sir Thomas Dvke Ack-
land (Liberal) and Sir Stafford II. North-
cote, Chancellor of the Exchequer, (Con-
servative), for Devonshire North, re-elected
without opposition; Sir Walter W. Burrell
(Conservative), for Shoreham, re-elected;
Wra. R. Loder (Conservative), for Shore-
ham; Mr. Wm. A. Redmond (Home Ruler),
for Wexfortjborough, re elected.
FOREIGN NEWS ITEM!,
London, April 8.—The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Standard
states that a document bearing on the
i udicial aspect of the case of the Nihilist
lartmann will shortly be sent to Paris, with
a note to Premier de Freycinct only, and
that If, after this, the French Government
shows a conciliatory disposition, it is not
improbable that Prince Orloff will return to
Paris as Ambassador after the Russian Eas
ter holidays.
A dispatch from Vienna says the 8ultan
of Turkey takes the greatest interest In the
case of the as6as6in of the Russian Colonel
Commeraoff, and being convinced by those
about him that the assassin is insane he be
lieves he would commit a crime by execut
ing him. . j
A Paris correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says; “The French Government

of Finance, to accept the post of Ambassa
dor to London, but M. Say prefers simply
to be nominated as Envoy Extraordinary to
negotiate the new commercial treaty, re
turning to France when such treaty has
been concluded. M. Say Is now sojourning
In Spain, and the question will be decided
ii _ ..a .Vinnt tVm anti nr Anrll ''
dor at Vienna was due to his disapproval of
the anti-Je6ult decrees.
A Vienna correspondent of tbe Times says
f* is stated that Count Due Hatel, French
Minister at Brussels, will succeed M. De-
Bort as Ambassador at Vienna.
The Globe publishes a Berlin dispatch
which says the Russian telegrams announce
the arrest of a courier of the Prince De-
Lievme, a 8enator and Secretary of State,
in the Prince’s palace, suspected of com
plicity with the Nihilists.
A Paris dispatch says: “By a colliery ex
plosion at Auderlues, Belgium, on Wednes
day, the 31st ultimo, forty two persons
were killed. Forty-one of those In the pit
at the time of the disaster escaped.”
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE NOTES.
Washington, April 3.—The House Com
mittee on Levees and Improvements of the
Mississippi river, held a meeting to-day to
take into consideration the report of the
Mississippi River Commission and the bill
founded upon it, which was introduced in
the House on the 29th by Representative
Robertson, and referred to the commit
tee. On motion of Representative
Gibson it was resolved that a sub
committee of five members be
appointed by the Chairman to take into
consideration both the majority and minori
ty reports of the commission and submit to
the full committee their report thereon,
with such recommendation as they may
deem proper. It was further resolved that
the sub-committee, together with any other
members of the Levee Committee who
may feel disposed to do so-,
should be empowered to visit per-
sonallv, if deemed necessary, the Mis
sissippi river, under the authority con
ferred by the House in December last, to
investigate the actual condition of the river,
and to take testimony of steamboat captains,
pilots and others, acquainted with the
stream. The Chairman was also
empowered to invite engineers and
members of the commission as
well as other persons acquainted with tbe
subject to come before the committee for
the purpose of explaining the report, and
giving their views upon the subject. It was
also resolved to ask the House to cause ten
thousand copies of the reports of the com
mission to be printed for general distribu
tion.
GLADSTONE AND THE PREMIERSHIP.
London, April 3.—The Times, in a leading
article, says : “After Gladstone’s defeat in
1874 he not only resigned the leadership of
the Liberals, but declared his intention of
withdrawing as far as possible from active
political life, and the logical consequence of
this resolution would be that he would not
take office in the coming administration ;
but this resolution has already been in
spirit very conspicuously infringed, and it
cannot be doubted that a very 6troDg pres
sure will be brought to bear upon him
ia order to Induce him to abandon It; but
nobody can doubt that he is the most potent
force on the Liberal 6ide. But for him
there 16 no 6ign that the policy of the gov
ernment would have been so vehemently
challenged. It is Gladstone who has led
and inspired the assault which has now
been so conspicuously successful, and he
must be regarded as representing the views
of that class of voters to whom the Liberal
majorities are due.”
The same article points to a remark of
Mr. Gladstone in bis speech at West Calder
yesterday, to the effect that he neither di
rectly nor indirectly insinuated to any one
that he had come tb» re as the chief of the
party or that he would return to office at his
time of life.
The Times says this is a very different
thing from refusing to accept the responsi
bility naturally attaching to the course he
has recently pursued, and it is therefore
scarcely conceivable that Gladstone, while
remaining In public life, will not form a
member of the new Cabinet.
A DISASTROUS CYCLONE.
St. Louis, April 3.—A special dispatch
from Ottawa, Kansas, says a cyclone struck
that place about seven o’clock last evening,
completely demolishing seven residences on
Elm street, and badly damaging five others
in the same vicinity. The cyclone then
passed over five or 6ix blocks, and
again 6truck the ground near the river,
where it destroyed several residences and
barns, tore the roof off the Kansas City,
Lawrence and Southern Railroad freight
house, and overturned several freight cars.
Iu North Ottawa twelve or fifteen residences
were totally destroyed or badly damaged.The
evening train from Lawrence was caught at
4he junction a mile north of town. One
passenger car and two freight cars were up
set, aud one passenger seriously injured.
The storm proceeded to the northeast, de
stroying the Spencer and Wilkinson Houses
and two farm houses on its way. A child
was killed and many persons wounded.
Lumber and furniture were scattered for
blocks around, aud in some cases horses,
cattle,wagons, and even persons were hurled

THE DONNELLT-WASHBURNE CASE.
Washington, April 3.—The Donnelly-
Washburne case bids fair to lead to new
and unexpected complications. Mr. Sprin
ger, Chairman of the House Committee on
Elections, who has received a letter from
Representative Manning, stating that he
proposed to prefer charges against him
(Springer) affecting the motives which ac
tuated his course and determined his vote
In that case, will on Monday call the atten
tion of the House to the matter, and ask for
a thorough investigation. In conversation
to daj, while declining to express an opin
ion as to the true source or animus of the
attack upon the integrity of his conduct,
Mr. 8pringer stated that at the proper time
he should show to his colleagues and cuuu-
trwnen that his vote upon the Donnelly-
W&shburne case was strictly in accordance
with his convictions, and that there was no
shadow of foundation for any charge or in
sinuation of corrupt motives or improper
influences.
LABOR TROUBLES.
Elizabeth, N. J., April 3.—The black
smiths iu the New Jersey Central Railroad
shops stepped work and determined not
to return until the extra hour’s work im
posed upon them was withdrawn and an in
crease of ten per cent, given.
It is feared the strike among the track
men will become general. Over 2,500 men
employed on the tracks on Thursday In
formed the foreman they would not go to
work until the promised advance of 20 per
cent, was given them. The company yes
terday ordered ten cents a day extra to be
given them, but the most of them refused
to go to work.
Piedmont, W. Va., April 3.—The strikers
on the Cumberland and Piedmont Railroad
who have kept the trains on that road,
which is principally a coal road, idle for
nearly two months, nave accepted the terms
offered them by the railroad officials, and
trains were started as usual this morning.
DEPREDATIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA BY WEST
MOUNTAIN THIEVES.
New York, April 3.—A special to an
evening paper from Reading, Pa., says;
“The people of Hcneybrook township,
Chester county, are in a terrible state of
alarm over the depredations of a band of
West Mountain thieves, who are burning
their barns and driving off their stock. The
marauders robbed the county school house
of a large Bible, nailed it to a tree apd
posted a notice, with a skull and cross bones
attached, stating that if the Horse Insur
ance Company followed them up to make
arrests, fearful desolation woula at once
follow. A number of members of the De
tective Company have had their horses and
cattle polsoped. 1 '
THE “CORRUPT” CASES.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 3.—The Delphin
County Court adjourned to-day until the
26th instant. None of the men recently
convicted of corrupt solicitation put in an
appearauce. Counsel for the common
wealth were anxious to have court sit on
Saturday, in the hope that Kemble and the
rest of the fugitives would appear at that
time for sentence, but the court could not
tee the advisability of such a course. It is
generally understood here that if these men
appear In the custody of the Sheriff they
will be admitted to new ball for their ap
pearance at the session commencing on the
26th instant.
LIVERPOOL COTTON BROKERS* CIRCULAR.
Liverpool, April 3—This week’6 circular
of ihe Liverpool Cotton Brokers’ Associa
tion says; “Cotton closed quietly on Thurs
day, and reopened Tuesday with a limited
demand, which was freely supplied. The
business has since been moderate, and Quo
tations for some grades are reduced. The
sales of American were small,and quotations
are generally reduced Xd. In 6ea island
the business was limited, but prices are
without change. Futures opened dull after
the holidays, aud continued sp, prices show
ing a decline of 1-1QJ. on last week’s quo
tations,"
THE COHOES STRIKE.
Troy, N. Y., April 3.—There are indica
tions of a backdown by the Cohoes strikers,
and, It is said by many, if to-day and to
morrow should prove stormy, two-thirds of
the operatives now out would return to
work without further parley. Large num
bers of spinners express disapprobation at
the stubborness of the strikers in not ac
cepting, as a basis of settlement, the rein
statement of the men claimed to have been
black-listed by Bos6 Murray. Evidently a
spirit of dissatisfaction exists among the
employes, which is becoming more marked
as the time passes,
ATTEMPTED RESCUE OF A MURDERER.
Las Vegas, N. M., April 3.—This morn
ing two desperadoes, named David Rada-
burgh and John Allen, entered the jail here
and shot and fatally wounded the jailer and
attempted to rescue a prisoner named
Webb, under sentence of death for murder.
The would-be rescuers were scared off be
fore they could accomplish their purpose.
A posse is in pursuit of them, and if cap
tured tbey will certainly be lynched.
A NOVEL FEATURE IN JOURNALISM.
Chicago, April 3.—The Chicago Times
proposes introducing a new feature in the
publication of newspapers. It is making
preparations to vary the size of its sheet
every day, according to the amount of news
It has to publish. If forty-eight columns of
space is needed, it will have a forty-elght-
column sheet. If It has ninety columns of
news and other essential matter, a ninety-
column paper will appear. By this means
the Times expects to avoid the necessity of
printing a triple or quadruple sheet when
additional space Is needed.
CONFERENCE OF THE M. E. CHURCH IN NEW
YORK.
New York, April 3.—At the conference
of the M.J2. Church, held here to day, six
gentlemen were elected to deacon’s orders
and one to elder’s orders. There was a live
ly discussion as to accepting the report of
the committee appointed to consider the
question of whether the position of presi
ding elder should be elective or by appoint
ment. The matter was referred back to the
committee. Delegates were elected to the
general conference to be held in Cincinnati
in May.
PETITION TO INCREASE THE SALARY OF A
DISTRICT JUDGE.
Washington, April 3.—Gen. Gibson, of
Louisiana, has received a petition which
was forwarded to him by the bar and lead
ing merchants of New Orleans, without re
gard to party, asking some increase of sala
ry for the United States District Judge of
that district. The petition sets forth that
the extraordinary amount of business of all
kinds within Federal jurisdiction is con
etantly crowded upon Judge Billings, mak
ing his labors more severe than is usual with
a District Judge.
UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN FRENCH RE
LIGIOUS SOCIETIES.
Paris, April 3.—The Francais affirms that
a complete understanding exists between
the religious confraternities, the Episcopacy
and leading conservatives regarding resist
ance to the decrees of the government in
relation to unauthorized congregations.
The Gazette de France announces that ft gen
eral meeting will be held to-day of the
supervisors of unauthorized congregations
for the purpose of adopting a joint decision
and a common plan of action to which all
bodies will conform.
THE SHARPE CREVASSE.
New Orleans, April 3.—Col. Hardee,
State Enginner, is at the Sharpe Crevasse,
with ample material and labor to close it..
The work is now under successful headway.
Morgan’s Railroad C mpany are aiding the
work with promptness and efficiency. The
water seems to be going out through the
company’s canal Into Lake Salvador. There
is no water yet on the Ames plantation, and
the damage so far is not very great.
THE ALLEGHENY CITY ALMSHOUSE MURDER.
Pittsburg, April 3.—The Coroner’s inves
tigation in regard to the almshouse murder
closed this afternoon, and the jury returned
a verdict that John Goekring came to his
death from blows inflicted by Joseph Cool-
boff and R. B. Crawford. The latter had
been in charge of the iusane department.
All others attached to the home were ex
onerated.

TOBACCO WAREHOUSE BURNED.
Cincinnati, April 3.—The tobacco ware
house at Ripley, Ohio, was burned yester
day. in which McGregor Bros, had stored
20,000 pounds of tobacco, most of which
was destroyed or damaged. McGregor Bros,
are insured for $10,000. The other losses
are small.
EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
Portland, Me., April 3.—A light shock
of earthquake was felt here at 2:30 this
morning.
Injustice to Mr. Parnell.
Neva York Star.
Mr. Bennett has communicated by
cable from Europe, for expression in his
New York morning paper, his ecstatic
enjoyment of the treatment to which an
Irish gentleman and patriot was sub
jected at an Irish meeting on Sunday
last, but Mr. Bennett neglected to qualify
his report by a statement of the fact,
which must have been known to him,
that the disturbances were originated by
drunken rowdies in the pay and at the
disposal of landlords and their agents—
of some men whose professions of
patriotism previously would have raised
the expectation of better conduct at
their hands—and of others still, who
can prate all the year round of
the necessity of land law reform, and
yet when the time comes for action
sustain the candidature of a man ever
absent from Parliament when his pres
ence could be effective, or, if present,
not even giving a half-hearted support to
the men recognized as the leaders of his
party. Yes, Mr. Bennett might have in
structed his people here that the dis
graceful scenes at Enniscorthy were not
the doings of the gallant men of Wex
ford, that they were merely local ebul
litions of local blackguards banded in
the interest of the Chevalier O’Clery,
and that the attack on Mr. Parnell could
no more be attributed to the general pub
lie than a disgraceful demonstration of
Swamp Angels in New York could be
held as compromising the character of
our city before the world.
Again, Mr. Bennett in his paper shows
tbe characteristic idea of fair play ruling
at Ann street corner by parading the ad
verse opinions of the London press on
that Enniscorthy escapade. Nobody ex
pected anything else from the London
journals, or the great majority of them.
Whenever an Irish measure is to be
squelched, the English Parliament com
bines, confederate's and agrees, without
reference to party lines, to do the work
In concert; and whenever or wherever an
Irish patriot is to be hounded down, the
newspapers with the same unanimity
join in the yells and will not call off
the dogs while a point of attack remains
apparent. Thus, Mr. Parnell is held to
be the offender in the Enniscorthy Sab
bath exercises, and the rum-purchased
ruffians who outraged all depency and
forgot all gratitude arc patted on the
hack for the preservers of a people’s in
dependence and the protesters against
the “dictation” of a stranger. All
these things Mr, Bennett’s paper
reproduces, and endorses by editorial
comment. Constitutional congeniality
exercises a magnetic influence on indi
viduals, and it is no wonder, perhaps,
that the mind of the distinguished trav
eler was drawn by attraction to an ap
proving participation in the had grace
and ill manners by which an adversary
of note was outraged. Por this, perhaps,
he is not accountable. “Can the Ethio
pian change bis skin or the leopard his
spots?" and congenital characteristics are
just as difficult of obliteration.
It isn’t often that an attempt to make
political capital proves such a boomerang
as one of the recent efforts of the Grant
managers. In order to injure a rival
candidate they circulated the report that
an ex Confederate, holding a position in
one of the departments, had been ap
pointed through the influence of the can
didate in question. But a thorough in
vestigation of the matter brings out the
fact that the ex-Confederate officer was
Appointed under Attorney General Taft,
upon a direct order from Gen. Grant, in
the place of one of the best clerks m the
Solicitor’s office, who, when summoned
aud put on oath by the House Commit
tee, told the truth about some of the
whisky and cotton cases. The friends of
“ the old man” are deeply chagrined at
their blunder, for this iucident has re
vived the scandals connected with the
whisky ring and the vindictiveness of
Grant towards those officials who would
not commit perjury to shield the admin
istration.— Washington Post.
One hundred and twenty men killed
and four hundred wounded is the record
quoted against the construction of the
Mount St. Gothard Tunnel. The New
York Sun thinks it would be inteYesting
to compare this with the mortality of a
year’s running of the New York elevated
roads, “ if the facts in the latter case
were attainable.” The St. Gothard Tun
nel ws8 about seven years in progress of
building. By the time the New York
elevated roads shall have been seven
years in operation the comparison of
mortality would be still more interesting,
if attainable.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Passage of the Deficiency Bill—Mr.
Hayes Goes Back on the Stalwarts
—The Donelly-Washbnrn Case—A
Question of Adjourned Veracity—
Heliosis Will Stlck-A Horrible
Hanging.
Special Correspondence of the Momina Xeics
Washington, April 2.—The deficiency
bill with the provision as to the appoint
ment of special election deputies,heretofore
given,passed the Senate as it came from the
House. The ultra Republicans had an
nounced that they intended to make a big
fight over the marshals-' clause. Suddenly
they collapsed. The bill was taken up in
the Senate one day, and went over to the
next without debate, except that Blaine
made a speech, in which he actually ridi
culed the Idea of the Republicans in oppos
ing the mershals’ measure, because it was in
the nature of a rider on an appropriation
bill. He showed where the Republican
party had made riders of this character a
practice. The next day the bill was passed
by a party vote, without any debate to speak
of except a characteristic speech from
Edmunds. Tills sudden collapse of the great
opposition that was to be made iu the Sen
ate caused some surprise, until it was learn
ed that the Republicans had heard from the
White House that Mr. Hayes would approve
the bill, no matter what opposition was
made to it In the Senate. With the pegs
thus knocked from under them by Blaine
and Hayes, the bill went through like a
balmy spring mom. The measure will reach
Mr. Hayes early next week. He will
promptly sign It, and the next Presidential
election and all national elections, owing to
the fair appointment of deputies beinz as
sured, will not reek with the arb’trary frauds
that have been practised in time past. The
next step that the Democrats are now
taking in political legislation will
be to include in tbe army appropriation bill
a proviso similar to that in the last army
bill—that none of the money appropriated
shall be expended for the service of troops
at the polls. Mr. Hayes sizned the bill with
this same proposition in it last year and will
sign it again this year. By a somewhat dif
ferent course it will be seen that all that was
attempted in regard to the election laws at
the extra session will be accomplished by
the present sitting. The Republicans in the
House are down for a bitter fight against
this proposition, but it will go through
nevertheless and the bill will be signed.
DONELLY AND WASHBURN.
The turn which this case has taken in the
Committee on Elections has caused
a good deal of surprise. Washburn
is to be declared by the committee’s
majority report as not entitled to his seat,
and that &e&t to be declared vacant. It is
also, of course, decided that Donelly, his
Democratic contestant, is neither entitled to
the seat. If this report—which will throw
out the report of Mr. Manning of the com
mittee showing up Washburn’s bribery—
prevails in the House the Minnesota delega
tion will be left a tie—one Democrat and
one Republican. If an election to fill the
vacancy thus caused is not held before the
Presidential election the vote of Minnesota
in the House, in case the election Is thrown
into that body, would not count, and
the Democratic party would be in the
majority. Emory Speer voted with the
Republicans of the Elections Commit
tee on all questions which reached
the conclusions" indicated. Mr. Manning,
who prepared the report which has hereto
fore gone abraad as the majority report, was
very indignant because Chairman Springer
voted that Donelly was not entitled to
Washburn’s seat, alleging that he had
promised to sustain that report. Springer
reDlied that he had made no such promise.
Manning was Indiscreet enough to say
that If Springer denied such a promise he
lied. Springer demanded that he retract
that assertion. This Manning did “for the
time being,” implying that it was out of
deference to Springer’s being Chairman of
the committee that he did so. The demand
was made by the Chairman that a full re
traction be made. After some squabbling
and bad words Manning made a full—but
several members of the committee say a
still quasi—retraction. It is perfectly evident
that the be6t that can now be expected out
of the Donelly-Washburn case this session
is the declaration of the former’s seat va
cant.
KELLOGG’S CASE.
There is no reason to change the state
ment advanced some time ago that Kellogg
will not be turned out of the Senate. Among
certain Democrats the feeling is decidedly
adverse to such action. The case against
Kelloeg has not been handled as it should
have been, and this gives him a stronger
point of vantage.
A STARTLING HANGING.
The execution of Stone, a mulatto, who
murdered his wife lu this city in Oc
tober, 1878, has caused a good deal
of excitement. The execution, which took
place to-day, was a remarkable one,
and to the spectators a shocking onei
The murderer fell from % drop of four f^et
seven inches,with a well greased five-eighths
of an inch rope around his neck. The re
markable part of It was that when his body
reached the length of the rope It did not
stop but fell to the ground, while the blood
spurted all around. “The rope has broken,”
was the cry. But it had not broken. The
head of the man remainedln the noose for
a second or two and then followed the body
to the earth. His neck had been as com
pletely severed as If he had been guillotined.
It was not cut bungingly by the rope. TTiere
had been a clean, sharp decapitation. No
sharpened axe oould have done the work
better. Stono was a heavy man with a small
but fat neck. The rope cut through the fat
like a razor and severed the vertebral column
without difficulty. The horror of the
spectacle affected all who saw it. The body
made a few muscular movements and wa3
quiet. Death was instantaneous. The phy
sicians who were present say that the man
never knew what killed him. It was a much
easier death than would have followed if
he had really been hung. One of the phy
sicians said to-day that he ascribed the cause
of decapitation principally to the indiffer
ence of the victim. No braggadocia was
shown, but he was no more concerned than
if he was eating his breakfast, an innocent
man. For this reason he, unlike other men
who have been hung, had none of his mus
cles at a tension. They were in their natu
ral position, and tbe rope did its work with
out resistance. This was perhaps the most
remarkable case that a “hanging” ever de
veloped in this country. Potomac.
Incident at a Dublin Ball.—Young
ladies who promise one and tbe same
dance to two or more gentlemen have
sometimes a good deal to answer for.
The other day at a certain ball in Dublin
an instance of the kind occurred. Two
gentlemen claimed a young lady for a
dance promised to each of them, as their
programmea proved. Neither would re
sign his claim, and on the lady making
her selection, the rejected candidate call
ed his successful rival a cad. The epi
thet provoked a blow, which the lady,
acting as peacemaker, received on her
eye and nose, causing the latter organ to
bleed profusely.—London World.
It is something unusual for a month
to go by without some addition to the
British Empire. This has certainly not
occurred since Beaconsfield has been in
power. The latest addition to England’s
domain is the island of Rotumah, in the
Pacific ocean. The soil is fertile and
the country thickly settled. The island
was annexed a few weeks ago by Sir
Arthur Gordon, on the ground that the
two hostile factions into which the in
habitants are divided were slaughtering
each other, and it was the duty of a
civilized power like Great Britain to step
in and prevent this slaughter by annex
ing the island.
Wm. S. Goldsen, a prominent politi
cian of Chicago,"sentenced nine months
ago to imprisonment in jail and $1,000
fine for borrowing money from the
cashier of the post office money order
department, has been pardoned by the
President. J. W. Gregg, his accomplice,
was also pardoned, but will have to pay
to the post office $1,225.
General Grant, in a moment of en
thusiasm, while in New Orleans, re
marked that he was the author of the
15 puzzle. This was telegraphed to
Tung Cbow and the Tung Chowders
telegraphed (collect) that the report was
a “belly muchlee flawd.” Hayes will
dispatch a gunboat on wheels to see
about this.—New Orleans Times.
A dry, rasping Cough Irritates and endan
gers the Lungs, and greatly debilitates and
annoys the patient. Dr. Jayne’s Expecto
rant removes constriction of the bronchial
tubes, promotes easy expectoration, heals
all infl&med parts, and brings about a speedy
cure of the most stubborn Cough or Cold.
