HERNANDO DIVIDED.
To-niglit the Senate passed a bill forming
three counties of the present county of
Hernando. The northern third is called
Citrus, the southern third Pasco, and the
middle third Hernando as now. The bill
foi-ming Gulf county from a portion of
Hillsborough passed the House; also the bill
reorganizing the city government of lie Land,
and a bill legalizing the government of the
town of Rockledge, Brevard county.
After the adjournment the Democratic
members of the House went into a caucus
on the apportionment hill.
BUSY LEGISLATORS.
Since the muddle of last week the Legis
lature has been steady at work holding three
sessions a day, and by constant application
has disposed of a large numlier of lulls.
An unusual number of bills of lesser im
portance have passed, and several conse
quential measures have been finally disposed
of. as in the ease of the jsoll tax qualilloa
tion bills, which were indefinitely postponed,
and the new city charter for Jacksonville,
including the. towns of La Villa and Fair
fu’.a, which is now in the hands of the Gov
ernor.
Femandina, Tampa, Palatka and other
cities of lesser note have had new charters
passed by the Legislature, and in nearly
every instance the new charters include the
small towns adjacent to the chief city.
BANKING LAWS.
The Renato has passed u bill making new
provisions for the incorporation ol' banking
associations, one of which requires persons
engaging in the banking business to use a
name that does not imply a corporation, or
else incorporate under the new general law
on the subject. This is intended to prevent
lierxons being deceived bv the hlgh-soun<l
ng name of a bunking house that is the
property of one or more individuals who
may or may not be solvent.
senator Pasco’s “namesake.”
The new county to lie called Pasco, in
compliment to the newly-elected United
Btotes Senator, is formed from the southern
third of Hernando county on the Gulf coast
and will take from Hernando county one of
its members of the Legislature, and with
Hernando county will comprise the Twen
ty-second Senatorial district. The bill has
not yet become n law r , but in all probability
it will, and it will include a tine section of
country, very fertile and accessible. The
new county proposed to lie made from a
portion of Polk will not be organized, as
the opposition to it is very stmng,
and the same fate will meet others that are
deserved by some.
RAILROAD COMMISSION CANDIDATES.
Quite a number of persons hare been
mentioned for pluces on the railroad com
mission and the returns are not yet com
olrte. Judge W. 11. Hebrlng. of Bronson,
sad Hon. K C. F. Kanchez, of Gainesville,
have Ixsm sjsiken of from the (Southern por
tion of the State, and every other section
has its favorites. Ho far as is known, the
Governor Ims not yet hogun to consider the
names, as the commission bill has not yet
become a law.
A KOnTt'NATE GOVERNOR.
The appointments made by Gov.
Perry so far have given general satisfaction
and it is to be hoped he will lie equally for
tunate in his future selections.
Ho far the Judges of the Circuit Court
appointed by Gov. Perry arc: The
hirst Circuit, comprising west, Kloriila,
Judge James F. McClellan, reappointed;
the Hecoiul Circuit. conqxiHod

resigned; Judge 11 LrJkUwLeft will. be r*
appointed in the Rjfih enviut, at Tampe ;
Judge Baker will succeed himself at Jack

A SPECIMEN FROM SPACE.
Analyzing a Chunk of Metal That Fell
From the Sky’.
From Ike Pittnbnrg ttrh.
A rarely interesting analysis is now being
made ut the laboratory of the Edgar
Thompson Steel Works. It is an analysis
of a portion of a large meteoric mns3 found
in Mexico, the major jiart of which is now
in the famous Yale College collection.
Some time ago Prof. Brashear delivered an
address upon meteors before the congrega
tion of Dr. Swift’s church, on Arch street,
Allegheny. Among his audience was Mr.
Henry Phipp, of the firm of Carnegie, Philips
& Cos., who expressed himself its being
much interested in what Mr. Brashear
told him in regard to this particular
meteoric find. Ho asked the latter if it
would lie possible to get, a specimen of the
mass for his private cabinet. Air. Brashear
answered that it would, but “it would come
high," at the same time giving Mr. Philips
the address of the jwrtios who might be able
to furnish the rare specimen. Prof. Brashear
thought no more or it for some time, until
there came to him one dny a carefully
wrapped imoknge and letter from Mr.
Phi)ips. It, was n t hree-pound piece of tho
Mexican mass, and tho letter informed
Mr. Brashear that if he could cut it in two
he could keep half. The operation was
successfully performed, anil the 111 ini’s () r
dust made ill cutting it were taken by
Mr. Phipps for the purpose of analysis,
which lias not yet been concluded.

UNEASY MASTER MASONS.
CRITICAL STATE OF THE CHICAGO
LABOR QUESTION.
Master Masons Bound not to Recede
-Only a Lukewarm Support Given
by the Master Builders -All Business
Affected by the Lockout—Trouble
Feared.
Chicago, May 30. —The next six days
are liable to witness a critical jieriixl in tho
great strike of the building trades. For four
weeks strike has followed strike, terminat
ing in a lockout, affecting to a greater or
less extent, almost every trade in the city of
Chicago. Fully 17,000 men are idle, and it
is stated uixm good authority that over 1,000
first-class mechanics have left the city. A
careful estimate shows that wages to tho
amount of SOOO,OOO have been lost to tho
strikers. It is impossible to estimate the
amount of capital which has lieen diverted
from the building trades. Well known East
ern capitalists have instructed their Chicago
agents to make no investments ponding the
adjustment of the strike, and in several
cases large enterprises will be dropped until
next year and perhaps forever. The master
masons, realizing that so long as the trades
unions were governed by their present laws
and customs, the strike was liable to be
duplicated at any time, resolved to make a
supreme effort to force the abolition of the
abuses of which they were conspicuous vic
tims. A code of principles and working
rules were adopted, which would, if en
forced, result in the complete
abolition of the unions as now con
stituted. The developments of last week
have demonstrated that if this is accom
plished it must lie done by the master ma
sons. They have formulated a plan of cam
paign and nave asked the kindred trades to
indorse their code of principles and follow
their footsteps. The response to that ap
peal was not so enthusiastic as was
expected by the contracting ma
sons. The master carpenters adopted
a platform, but nullified their action by re
fusing to name a date upon which it was to
go into effect. The conservative element in
both master masons and carpenters is com
posed of those contractors who are almost
entirely dependent upon union labor. In
many coses another protracted strike means
bankruptcy to the smaller contracting car
penters.
A HOT CONTEST.
An analysis of the situation proves that
the strike has resolved itself into a contest
between the master masons and their em
ployes, bricklayers and hod carriers. Other
trades represented in the Builders’ and
Traders’ Exchange are in a state of armed
neutrality, and while in active sympathy
with the master masons, are afraid to ren
der any practical support. Tho master ma
sons will depend almost entirely upon the
bricklayers from other cities.
The next few days will demonstrate to
what extent this source can be utilized. An
swers to advertisements Saturday were en
couraging, and it is believed that plenty of
good men can be secured. The leaders of
the bricklayers promise that no violence
will be offered to any of the imported brick
layers. Every effort will lie used, however,
to induce the new comers to join the union,
and all strategies of modern strikes will be
brought into play.
THE COWHIDE.
An Effective Weapon in the Hands of
an Outraged Woman.
From the SL Paul Globe.
The whipping post was abolished on the
ground that it was a relic of barbarism
which should not be tolerated in an enlight
ened age. And yet, after all, there has been
no substitute found equal to it as a corrector
of public morals. As an effective instru
ment of punishment the horse
whip has never had an equal.
It is something to make the stoutest heart
quail. Reckless crimiuals who could step
upon the gallows without the sign of fear
have been known to tremble as the aspen
leaf when made to face the whipping
post. Notwithstanding the whipping post
lias been abolished, it is some gratification
to know that the horsewhip continues to
exert a healthy influence’over the morals of
the community. Since men in their cow
ardice have foresworn the cowhide, it is to
the credit of women that they luive taken
up the work where the men laid it down. A
horsewhip in the hands of an outraged
woman Is the most effective, as it is the
most appropriate, form of punishment that
could be devised for certain grades of crime.
It Is also gratifying to observe that as a
rule the women exercise rare discretion and
judgment in the matter of its application.
It wouldn’t do to supply every virago with
a cowhide and grant her the privilege to
whale it into people promiscuously every
timo she got out of temper. Hut when
a woman is insulted by a stranger
or mistreated by her husband then
the cowhide comes into proper play. There
can he no subliiner exhibition of moral hero
ism than when a nervy little woman takes
upon herself the task of avenging some help
less sister's maltreatment by hunting up the
brutal tyrant of a husband and wanning
his jacket for him. The man who mistreats
a woman, and especially if that woman is
his wife, deserves to have his back scari
fied. As long as the men refuse to do jus
tice in this matter, the women are perfectly
right in undertaking it themselves. It
would lie a good idea to organize a woman’s
horre-w hipping society in every community.
It would have a wonderful effect in regu
lating society, and particularly in securing
the most happy domestic relations. Women
ha vo a great deal more use for the cowhide
than they have for the ballot.
A Picturesque Parade of 50,000 Babies.
From the Cincinnati Pont.
Our friend 8. 8. C. writes us from an
Arkansas railroad train saying that one J.
\V. F. has suggested through a Bt. Louis
paper that if President Cleveland comes to
that city in 1888 it would be well to com
memorate his visit by a parade of r>o,ooo
babies in baby carriages—-white babies, of
course. Thereupon our correspondent pro
ceeds to make a statistical estimate of what
the new baby carriages, the new dresses for
both babies and mammas and other inci
dental expenses would cost. It reaches the
handsome figure of $3,000,000. Our corres
pondent admires the suggestion for its prac
tical outcome. Between now and then it
would stimulate so many industries, boom
trade in textile fabrics, increase the popula
tion of that citv, and undoubtedly make
Mr. Cleveland solid with the Missouri dele
gation.

MISS WINSTON’S LUCK.
The Romance of a Treasury Countess
and Her Boarding House Vis-a-Vis.
Washington Special to the Chicago Mail.
The young lady clerk in the Treasury
who recently made the gratifying discovery
that a small farm near Birmingham, Ala.,
which her family has long owned, and su]>-
posed to lie next to worthless, Is worth
enough to make her independent, is some
thing of a beauty- and will well become tho
station to which her wealth will entitle her.
In jiersoii she is tall and graceful. Her fea
tures could hardly he called either reg
ular or classic, yet with her clear white and
pink complexion, her thick, raven-black
hair, and a pair of splendid black eyes, they
would certainly admit her to a conspicuous
place among the far-famed, dark-eyed
Southern beauties. She came to Washing
ton late in the ’7os, in company with her
mother and an aunt, her mother’s sister, her
father having died some years before.
They had some means, but not enough to
enable them to move in a circle to which
they had evidently been accustomed in the
Bouth. The aunt secured a place in
the Bureau of Printing and En
graving, and later on “Rose”
was given a place as a money counter in the
office of the Treasurer. Her salary was 8000
a year at first, but was gradually advanced
from time to time until it was 81,400, when
the happy discovery was made recently that
she was heiress to a property supposed to be
worth nearly $2,000,000. Her earnings, to
gether with the income from their other
property in tho South—all that was hereto
fore supposed to bo valuable—enabled
mother and daughter to live comfortably
and they r always niovisl in the better, though
not, of course, the ultra fashionable circles
of society.
Three years ago this summer the present
heiress, then the pretty Treasury clerk, met
Mr Frank MacArthur at a boarding house
on Fourteenth street, near K, in which the
family had recently taken rooms. Tho
house, if not in the fashionable quarter, was
certainly well up in the realm of eminent
respectability. There were lots of young
men and maidens in the neighborhood who
were combining their lives and ..fortunes
“for better or for worse until death did them
part,” and perhaps this may have inclined
them to think seriously ot a future arrange
ment of the kind for themselves, or perhaps
it may have happened just as other intense
likings of the kind eome about. Possibly
their landlady nmy have taken a sly inter
est in their welfare, as Washington land
ladies frequently do. Anyway it soon came
about that young MacArthur was seated
next to Miss “Rose” at table, and in a short
space of time they- were much seen together
at the theatre and at social gatherings.
MacArthur hailed from Wisconsin and
was a son of the ex-Judge of tiie Supreme
Court of the district. He had begun years
before as a clerk in the Interior Depart
ment, and had risen to be Judge of the In
terference Division of the Patent Office, a
very' honorable position, but not very lucra
tive. His constant study and long familiar
ity with interferences did not permit him to
allow anything to interfere with his love-
making, and it came to be generally under
stood that lie and the dark-eyed Rose were
engaged. Time went on, but still they' were
not married. Nobody knew why, but the
gossips, of whom there are legion
in the capital, speculated long and deeply as
to the reason. Their wise conclusion in
most instances was that both were ambi
tious, and for that reason were unwilling to
unite their fortunes until their prospects
could lie so shaped that they could have a
home to suit them. Be tiiat as it may, they
remained single, and shortly after Mr.
Cleveland was inaugurated young Mac-
Arthur resigned, went to New York and
formed a partnership for the practice of
patent law. His abilities had already won
him recognition and were beginning to
bring him a satisfactory income when the
great good fortnne befell his bride ex
pectant.
Last Saturday the following modest no
notice appeared in the Washington papers:
Miss Sarah Winston and Mr. Frank MacAr
thur were married yesterday afternoon at the
residence of Mr. T. W. Neill, on P street north
west. The bride is a granddaughter of the late
(fov. Winston, of Alabama, and the groom is a
son of Judge Arthur MacArthur.
The bride and groom have many friends
in Washington, who heartily wish them
long life and happiness, but there are doubt
less many young men hereabouts who heart
ily wish they' had made better use of their
opportunities in the day's when it wasn't
known or suspected that “Rose” Winston
was heiress to the bes-t paying land in the
State of Alabama.

Railways in Manitoba.
At last account the railway mileage of the
province of Manitoba aggregated just Off!)

Passes to Newspapers Resumed.
Tho Pennsylvania has resumed ]>asses to
nowspaper men, having metamorphosed
them into “contractsand some of the
Western roads have resumed (he issuing of
passes to stockmen in charge of cattle. It
lieooines more and more apparent that tho
summary cutting off of ]isses on April I
was, as it seemed to Is* at the time, in many
cases merely a device for “squaring up the
books” and beginning on a fresh page, as
has been done so many tiir.es before.
Steam Bell Ringers.
Devices for ringing the bells on locomo
tives by steam are said to tie growing in
jKipularity. The latest design of • steam
bell ringers is very original and unique. In
appearance it resembles the latest dome fin
ishes. It is the invention of a Swede, and
is patented in all countries. It consists of a
paraboloidal-shaped liell, with its mouth
fixed downward. Inside, of this bell is a
second shell, with a cavity in which the
steam gradually collects as it escapes
through a small opening, the pressure in the
pipes before it reach'll the opening being
varied by a valve in the cab. On top of
the liell is mounted a clapper, which ex
tends over the side to near the rim. To this
dapper is qftachod the cover to the inner
cavity, which cover is raised when the
steam pressure is raised sufficiently to do
so, thus lifting the clapper. When the
steam escapes the cover falls, and with it
the clapper, thus striking the bell.
Cure of Typhoid Fever.
Charles Hartford, of New Castle, N. Y.,
testifies that he was cured of typhoid fever
by Bhandheth’s Rills. Read his letter:
About a year ago l was attacked with
typhoid fever. My physician treated me for
some days, and 1 was so weak l thought I
must die. Although at times delirious and
suffering intense pain in the head and hack,
and parched up with fever, I still had sense
enough to remember my box of Brandreth’s
Rills. I uiiumged to get them and swul
lowod six, and then took a bowl of hot tea.
My doctor had lieen afraid to give me a
purge, I whs so weak, but Bi nudretl: s Rills
made ine stronger. As soon as they acted
freely my head cleared, fever abated, and I
slept for ten hours. I continued taking
three or four pills every night for a week
and entirely lecovered, although my doctor
