The acting Secretary of the Inte
rior at Washington^Ianuary the 5tb,
transmitted to the Senate a re
sponse from cimmissioner Sparks,
of the General Land Office, the
resolution oflered by Senator Mor
gan calling for the reasons why
coal and iron lands in Alabama
have been withheld from sale, and
whether any evidence is on file in
the department which discloses the
existence of a conspiracy or combi-
ation unlawfully to effect the sale
of the lands under the act of
March the 3 1 883. The Commissin-
er says the proclamation ordering
the sale of these lands was revoked
by the President January 39,1884,
and subsequently the ordered sale
was postponed indefinitely. This
action was taken in consequence of
communications from W. H. Law-
son, of Montgomery, Ua., G. W.
Paisley, an inspector of the Gener
al Land office, and Governor O’
Neal, of Alabama, ail alleging the
existence of a combination to con
trol the sale of the lands.
The letter of the Governor oi Al
abama requests the postponement
of the sale for the following rea
sons.
1. Because by concert of action
among those who desire to buy,
the lands would be sacrificed by be
ing bid in at little more, if any,
than the minimum price of $1.25
per acre.
2. That the sales would result in
a me nopoly of mineral lands, which
would be Held for higher prices, and
thus their development would be
retarded.
3. Because a .large number of poor
persons who had settled upon the
lands would be turned out of their
homes.
4. The leportof inspector Paisley
recommends that the sale be post
poned, and says that a secret meet
ing of mining companies had been
held in Birmingham for the purpose,
it was greatly believed,of forming a
combination to crush all individual
competition and secure all these
lands at the rate of $1.25 per acre.

W. W. Haight, one of Witrock’s
accomplices in the train robbery,
has furnished the St Louis papers
a written statement of his connec
tion with the affair. He says
therein that poverty and his inabil
ity to obtain employment forced
him to devise some means whereby
he might provide for his wife and
child the necessities of life. To do
this, he planned the scheme. Wit-
rock became enthusiastic, and
thereafter took the affair into his
hends,and he (Haight) heard.noth
ing more of him until he read an
account of the robbery in the pa
pers. Soon after that Witrock sent
him $1,000 by Oscar Cook, and at
the same time summoned him to
Leavenworth, Kan. There Witrock
gave him $10,000. He says il
was he who forged Damsel’s sig m-
ture to the pass which was present
ed to Fotheringham and had the
Adams Express letterheads and en
velopes printed Fotheringham, he
asserted, was innocent of any
charges brought against him.

BLOOD TONIC
grea
1 iron
learned from a race of naked savages.
Tt is no “Indian Medicine,” but a scien
tific preparation, carefully compounded
frojn the very best Blood*Tonics known
to tbe Medical Profession; nor is its
claim to public confidence based on the
wild incantations of wandering Gyp
sies, or the senseless mumblings of an
Indian squaw. It stands upon the ac
cumulated wisdom and research of nine
teen centuries. Since Moses proclaimed
that “The blood is the life,” the Medical
Profession, in all enlightened countries,
has studied, carefully, patiently; and
laboriously the composition of the Blood,
its tendencies to disease, and the med
icines that make and keep it pure. The
Blood Tonic is no secret compound. Any
physician can see the formula. We on
ly claim for it the best known Blood
medicines carefully and scientifically
combined. For more than a quarter of
a century we have prescribed it with
the most satisfactory results, and if
space permitted could turnish thous
ands of testimonials. In the treatment
of Secondary Syphilis, Chronic Rheu
matism, Scrofula, Pimples, Old Sores
Catarrh in the Head, Eczema, and all
impurities of the Blood, from whatever
cause arising, the Medical Profession
has never found a better medicine than
the Blood Touic,

January 6. He was born in Italy
fifty-five years ago, but early in

A fast train on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, collided with the east-
bound freight train, near Tiffin,O do,
January 4th, wrecking both trains.
Nineteen bodies have been taki n
from the wreck. More are injured.
Three coaches were destroyed. The
fast train was 50 minutes late and
was running at the rate of 60 miles
an hour. Passing Republic, a
small station, like a flash, they
rushed along to a curve one mile
west of that town, when suddenly
the engineer saw a freight train un
der full headway, within one
hundred yards of him. He at once
applied the brakes and reversed his
engine, but it did no good, and tne
next instant the crash came, tele
scoping the coaches and piling
them upon each other. To add con
sternation to the horrible scene, a
fire broke out in the smoking car,
and soon spread to the other cars.
Many were killed outright, while
others, wedged in among broken
ears, were consumed by the flames.
The screams of the wounded and
dying were heartbreaking, but no
assistance could be given until a

and, with other neighbors, worked
like beavers to save the perishing.

Dai-tos, Ga., March 15,1885
In .January, 1876, I contracted
a very severe cough that lasted
for weeks, and finally became ac
companied with a pain in my
side. I couJd get no relief ex-’
cept from Calomel, but when 1
would cease to use the Calomel
the cough and pain would return,
Thus it went on for some time
whenl was advised to try Smith’s
Liver Tonic. I did so, and it soon
effected a ermanent cure, and
the symptov s have never return
ed. Since that time I have kept
this Liver Tonic on hand, never
using it, however, except when
I felt some way out of order,
when I always used it with good
results. I regard it as the very
best Liver Medicine I know any
thing about C. D. McCutcheon.
