OOOSAW PHOSPHATES.
The United Btates Supreme Court
Affirms the Decision.
Washington, April 4. —The supreme
court of the United Btates to-day affirmed
the judgment of the oirouit court of the
United Btates for the district of South Car
olina in favor of the state of South Carolina
in its suit against the Coosaw Mining Com
pany. This is a case of great importance
to the state and involves its right to oon
trol the phosphate rock and phosphate
beds in the Coosaw river, which
are exceedingly valuable. The Coosaw
Mining Company claimed that in 1876 the
legislature of South Carolina made a con
tract conferring on it a perpetual grant to
the exclusive mining of all phosphate rook
and pbosphatio deposits in the Coosaw
river. The state contended that by its act
the legislature had granted the Coosaw
company exclusive rights for only
a limited period, namely, until
the expiration of the twenty-one years
fixed in 1870 when the Coosaw company was
given the right (but not exclusive right) to
Xuine phosphate. This period expired In
1891. The court to-day in an opinion by
Justice Harlan holds that the act of 1876 did
not give the Coosaw company a perpetual
and exclusive grant,but merely anexclusive
grant for the balance, of the twenty-one
years covered by the original contract of
1870.
TO ABIDE BY THE DECISION.
Charleston, 8. C., April 4.—The United
Btates supreme court nas decided the Coo
saw case in favor of the state. It it un ler
stood here that the company will bow to
the inevitable, and resume its operations
under the new system of things.
VERMONT’S LIQUOR LAW.
A New York Dealer Who Shipped
Goods O. O. D. in Trouble.
Washington, April 4.—The Vermont
"original package" case, which ante-dates
the lowa case heretofore deuiued iu the
United States supreme court, was to-day
decided. This case was appealed from the
Vermont oourts in 1886, but was not pushed
Jith the same vigor an was the lowa case.
ohn O’Neill was a liquor dealer at White
hall, N. Y. He received orders for liquor
by mail, and otherwise, from Rutland, Vt.,
and vioinity, a prohibition locality.

dicted for violation of the law of the state
Of Vermont forbidding unlioeused sale of
intoxicants. The trial resulted in his con
viction of 457 offenses against the law and
fines were rolled up to the amount of $9,140
ami costs. One month’s imprisonment was
also ordered with additional Imprisonment
in case the fines were not paid.
His conviction was sustained by the higher
courts of Vermont. O’Neill appealed to the
United Btates supreme oourt and this court
to-day decided against O’Neill and dis
missed the writ of error, holding that the
sale took plaoe in Rutland, Vt., and not in

constitution. Justices Field and Harlan dis

RHODE ISLAND’S ELECTION,
The Democrats to Poll a Plurality for
State Officers.
Providence, R. 1., April 4.—The pre
paratory work of the state election on
Wednesday is nearly over. But fow more
meetings are to bo held and none of these
ore of muoh importance, except the repub
lican gathering in this oity to-night, which
Is to be by Secretary of Navy
Traoy and Congressman Burrows of Michi
gan, a mass meeting of republicans to-night
in Pawtucket, where ex-Speaker Roed will
speak and a similar rally in Newport to
morrow might to be addressed by ex-
Speaker Reed and Speaker Barret of the
Massachusetts House of Representatives.
The democrats have finished their large
gatherings, bat some small ones may be
held in various parts of the state to-night
and to-morrow night.
Both parties claim to be confident of the
result, but the indications point to the elec
tion of a republican majority iu the legisla
tion. The state ticket is likely to fail of
eleoture, with the democrats seouring a plu
rality of the votes cast, which will,however,
be of no avail in case of the eleotion of a re
publican legislature. Senator Aldrich con
aiders the outlook very satisfactory for the
reDublicans and hopes they will receive a
plurality vote for state officers, as this will
be taken as an indication of the vote In the
presidential election, whioh is by plurality
instead of a majrity, as in the state contest.
The democrats claim that a plurality vote
on state officers is assured them, and they
hope for a majority too, as well as the
balance of power in the legislature.

REPUBLICANS WIN AT CLEVELAND.
Cleveland, 0., April 4.—The election
here to-day was for director of education,
seven members of the shool council, two
justices of tne peace and ten members of
the citv council. At midnight, with but 25
of the 130 precincts to hear from, the
republican plurality has reached 1,100, aud
it will probably go higher than that. Re
turns from other Northern Ohio towns
show gome republican gams, though in most
places party lines were forgotten in the con
test over local issues.
PARTY LINES OBLITERATED.
Columbus, 0., April 4.—The bead of the
republican city ticket had the support of the
democratic organization in the municipal
election and received a majority of about
2,700. The balance of the republican ticket
waselecled by the usual majorities,4oo to 600.
There were republican gains in the city
council and school board. The sacrifice of
the head of the democratic ticket Is at
tributed to pending legislation for Colum
bus, which ft is sought to defeat by electing
a republionn and making the board of
offaira bi-partisan iu make-up. Reports
from surrouudiug towns indicate republican
gains.

MARION’S THIRD PARTY.
Only Fifty Persons Present at the
Convention at Ocala.
Ocala, Fla., April 4. —The People’s
party met in the oolored Masonic hall to
day. About fifty persons were present
from the southern, northern and western
parts of the county. 8. 8. Savage, presi
dent of the county alliance, was madechair
raau, and B. Hutton of the Ocala Demands
secretary.
A resolution was adopted asking all who
wished to participate with the party to sub
scribe to the Ocala demands aud St. Louis
convention principles. F.fty persons
signed.
A committee to nominate the county ex
ecutive oommittee was then nansed, and re
ported the following persons: J. W. Kirk,
L. L. Aiken*, W. Wickson, Ben Kreymuth
and P. W. Ferry.
A resolution asking for the meeting to ex
press Its choice for President and Vice
President was tabled.
The resolutions in substance detailed,
first, that the Democratic party in the state
had not reduced the legacy of debt left by
the misrule of the republicans; that the
legislature increased the debt SIOO,OOO
in 1889, and the same amount
in 1891, by borrowing tae amounts;
inveighed against Incresse of taxation,
namely, in 1875 Marlon county paid #28,232
for th* nniiuty and state on a valuation of
#117,637, while in 1890 $75,331 was nald on
a valuation of $583,239. They say if the
same Increase existed in all the other ooun
ties of tho state the Increase of the state
debt is easily accounted for. They Insisted
that the legislature should pass such laws as
would protect the rights of the industrial
classes and retain and restrict monopolies
and exorbitant rates of transportation
companies; oppose the Hammond tax law;
also the ballot-box system of voting and in
favor of the Australian system as equitable
and just; Indorse the Bt. Louis platform
and the principles of the stato People's party
as enunciated at Ocala March 8. The meet
ing was very enthusiastic and hopeful aud
those present claim that hundreds in the
county will act with them at the polls who
were not present.
MARION’S DEMOCRATS.
The Executive Committee Calls a Con
vention for May 20.
Ocala, Fla., April 4.—The democratic
oounty executive committee met at noon.
Of the thirty-one districts twenty-five were
represented. The date for the primaries was
fixed for May 21 and the oounty convention
for May 26 to elect delegates to the state
and congressional conventions. A resolu
tion was introduced by Dixon Irvine of
Orange Lake declaring that no one should
be voted for as a delegate to the county
convention who did not stand fair aud
square on the declarations of the Deino
oratio party in the past and Is in accord
and harmony with them to-day. It pro
voked spirited discussion, in which Hon. A.
P. Baskin and William Dehon participated
as opponents. The resolution was lost by a
vote of 10 to 13, the country and alliance
men being against it.
Muscogee’s Democrats.
Columbus, Ga., April 4.—The county
executive committee met at noon and or

REMINGTON TYPEWRITERS.
One Sold Every Five Minutes by tbe
Sales Agent.
New Y ork, April 4.—Some idea of the
present wonderful growth of the typewriter
business may be gained from tho faot that
the sales of Remington typewriiers for
January and February, 1892, exceeded
those of the corresponding months of 1891
by $160,000. The great and constantly
gaining popularity of the Remington is
clearly shown by the fact that the business
has more than doubled within three years.
The Remington factory at Tlion, N. Y.,
employs 700 men to fill the demand created
by Sales Agents Wyckoff, Seamans and
Benedict, who dispose of machines at the
astonishing rate of one every five minutes.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1892.
SALARIES INSTEAD OF FEES.
A Burden on Atlanta Taxpayers Cut
Down.
Atlanta, Ga., April 4.—The municipal
reform movement, which began in the
election* last fall, culmlnatod to-day iu the
abolition by the council of the fee system in
the city government, which has so long
been a subject of clamor. After the term*
of the present incumbents expire the city
marshal’s office and that of the city clerk
will pay salaries of $2,400 instead of fees
amounting to about $15,000 each per year.
Alderman Jim Woodward, a printer in the
Journal office, was the leader of the move
ment, and his success will probably make
him mayor next December.
Improvements at Augusta.
Augusta, Ga., April 4. —The city council
to-night passed two important measures—
one ordering asphalt pavement on a prin
cipal square on Broad street and the other
ordering a bulkhead and gates put in

JAILED BY BEAR.
Thrilling Adventure of a Young Seal
Hunter.
From St. Nicholas.
On the western coast of Greenland is a
settlement called Upernavik. It is peopled
partly by Esquimaux and partly by Danes.
In this settlement dwelt a Danish clergy
man, Olaf Neilson by name, with a son
and a daughter—Oscar 18 years and Hilda 16.
Ia early summer Oscar frequently went
hunting walrus and seal, with his gun or
spear. It is well known that this cold,
cheerless coast is never without icebergs.
One June an iceberg thus drifted straight to
the mouth of the harbor of Upernavik,
There It grounded, and the in-shore wind
pressed it with great force up into the jaws
of the harbor. The sun honeycombed it,
and left huge dark oaves In many parts
close to the water’s edge, and into these
oaverns the sea went booming with a great
sound. Oscar and Hilda went off in their
kayak to see it; and they noticed that the
quiet pools which had formed in the caves
wero the resort of seals and walruses dur
ing part of tho day.
“I shall have some good spearing there,”
said ! 'scar, as they turned their kayak to
ward home. Bo he ground his spear sharp,
and oiled the barbs at the point, whioh was
shaped like an arrow, bent anew line to
the handle, and the next day set out alone
In the kayak. Meanwhile, Hilda went up
the valley for the goats. Her parting
words to her brother were to bo careful and
to keep watch for bears, as this was a fav
orite haunt of the fierce polar bear.
Fulling the kayak up on the rocks,Osoar
proceeded on to the berg, the base of which
was not less than two acres in area, and
from it rose to a considerable hight two
columns of dark-blue ice. somewhat resem
bling towers in form. Ona of these was
honeycombed at the base, and through the
sides of the low fiat upon which the
towers rested were various openings, so
that when an ocean swell came rolling in
it went through these perforations with a
piping sound. He decided that he would
enter the main cave at the base of the ice
tower, hide there and wait.
Moving along carefully with the coil of
line hanging upon his shoulder aud the
spear in his hand, he entered the dim, oold
oave. The opuu space, Oscar told me, was
about forty feet square , and In the center
of It, dipping eight or ten feet below the
floor of the passageway, was a deep pool of
water covering about half the area of the
floor of the cave. Into this a large square
block of Ice had fallen from the roof.
How fortuuato its presence was will soon
appear.
Oscar crouched down on the cold gray ice
his spear grasped in his hand and his coil of
rope lying beside him with one end fast
ened to his wrist. A gurgling Bound, as of
hurrying water on tho other side of tho pool,
came to him, aud he watched aud listened
to make out the cause. Presently he saw
two round black heads disappear as if they
had gone through tho ice at the place
whence the sound came, and then four or
five other heads of seals bobbed up, as if
they bud entered the little lake from that
point. He knew then that It must be a
passage loading to the sea.
But while the gurgling sound of the
water came to him from the pool, he heard
a slighter and different noise coining trom
the mouth of the cave by which he had
entered. Turning, he saw, to his unspeak
able horror, a huge polar bear, its shaggy
hide dripping water! The beast had seen
him, and was hulking toward him. Oscar
turned and faced it for a moment—but
what Oould he do with his spear agamst
such an assailant' The spear could never
go through that shaggy coat and thick
hide. How tbo animal’s claws spread and
stretched over the ice as it came along.
Nearer anil nearer it came, now crouching
lower, its muzzle thrust out, nnd its claws
stretching further than ever from its feet.
There was only one course. Oscar
sprang into the icy water, and in three or
four strokes was close to the ice cube. His
spear and coil of rope were upon his should
ers,, and by driving the spear in the hard
blue cube b was enabled to get upon it.
It was just large enough to bear his weight;
but he was obliged to stand very still on
the middle of it to prevent it from heeling
to one side and sliding him into the water.
It was almost cs dark as night in the pool,
and Oscar could see the two glowering eyes
of the bear looking down upou him. But
the beast did not come into the pooL It
turned away from tho brink aud for two
hours —two hours of wot, and cold, and
terror —Oscar did not see the bear again.
Then Oscar resolved to go to the top
again und sprang into the water, climbing
hastily by the easiest way' to the floor of
the cavern. To his utter dismay he saw
the great brute lying on the ice, close to the
cave’s mouth.
Hour after hour passed, until Oscar knew
it must be late in the afternoon, for the sun
shone yellow on the ice beyond the mouth
of the cavern. Still his savage jailer made
no move; still Oscar sat, not moving from
the lump of ice, thinking of the terror of
Hilda at his long absence. Still another
hour went by, and tho golden glow on the
ice outside began to turn gray, for the sun
was below the hills that aueltered Uperua
vik.
Another half hour of terror passed, and
then Oscar saw the bear spring to Its feet,
thrust out its read, aud makefor the open
ing of the cavern.
Oscar held his hroath, and, peering out,
saw a seal slowly crossing the great ice
platform, making for tbe rocks. The bear
swiftly disappeared, making after this new
prey, and you may bo sure Oscar was not
long in getting outside of this terrible dun
geon.
What was Oscar’s Amazement presently
to see the seal stand up, throw back tho fur
from its head and shoulder and turn into a
girl—yes, into his own dear sister Hilda.
She shouted aloud aid waved her hand
kerchief. The bear, evidently disconcerted,
turned, ran luraberlngly up a gulch,, au.i
disappeared into a tangle of ground-firs.
When tho brother and sister met their
joy was so great that neither could speak a
word, Hilda, borrowing another kayak,
had to come to look for Oscar, and bad seen
the bear at the mouth of the cave. At
once suspecting the cause of her brother's
absence, she went home, got the skin and
personated a seal with the complete success
I have recorded.

English Houses Are Devoid of Com
forts or Conveniences.
London Correspond! ru e of the Boston Herald.
The average dwelling house, in any class
—upper, middle or lower —built in 1892, is
constructed almost precisely on the lines in
vogue at the beginning cf the oentury. In
England there has been in ninety years no
such advance in domestic architecture,
with regard to both convenience aud style,
as we have noted in the United States in
the last decade. The Englishman may ex
plain Shis by alleging that he uuilt better in
ISOO-CtUHTwetfid in-1882. In this he will
not be altogether wrong, but he will be
supported by fewer facts than he imagines.
The British carpenter has not yet mas
tered the art of making a window. There
is always a gale blowing in around the
sashes during the winter, whether the
outside air be calm or raging. The more
heat you get in a room—and by lamps and
gas you can contrive to raise the tempera
ture —the greater is the rush of oold air
from without. It forces its way around the
window sashes and the doors in obedience
to a natural law.
An English house is draughty, whether it
be the dwelling of a peer or a peasant.
Tho doors are hung even worse than the
windows. In the first place there are no
thresholds, and there is a gaping space
between the floor and the bottom of the
door. The room in whioh lam now writ
ing has an admirable specimen of an En
glish door, I haveljusrjmoasured the yawn
ing crevices around it. Between the floor
and the bottom of the door there is a space
one-half on inch wide, extending across
the entire breadth of the door. Around
the other three sides of the door there is a
space one-quarter of an inch wide. All
the doors iu the place (which is not the
work of a "jerry builder,” but is what the
British call "a high class” and expensive
structure) are hung in the same fashion.
Imagine, then, the number of portieres and
thick rugs necessary to exclude the
draughts.
The halls of an English house are un-
Draughts are accordingly In
creased, for the cold air will always rush
from the chilly halls into the apartments
of high temperature. Screens, portieres,
ruga, heavy window hangings are essential
in every room. Of course these things
darken an apartment. Thus you can only
break the currents of air in a London
dwelling by adding to the depressing gloom
of the almost sunless London winter.
An American housekeeper setting up an
establishment here misses the numerous
and capacious closets of the yankee domi
cile. Closet making is an unknown art to
the nineteenth century British builder.
I know of any number of new and expen
sive dwellings—both flats and houses—in
which tnere is not a hanging closet. The
most you can do is to provide a few cup
boards in the "chimney jogs.” For olotb
ing you must have wardrobes set up in your
rooms, monopolizing space and being as
cheerful to gaze upon as sarcophagi. Odds
and ends you must stow away as best you
can. Cellars, in the American sense, are
unheard of. A small dungeon for coals,
or a penitential celt for wines, fulfills the
British housekeeper’s notion of a cellar.
"Set tubs” are usually reserved for the
"mansions of the great.”
The English servants are like a certain
soap which is extensively advertised—they
"wont wash clothes.” If you \>uh for“set
tubs” you must be able to afford a laun
dress on your permanent staff of domestics.
The bath room is the latest innovation in
English houses of the better class, bnt it is
still an innovation. The clumsy tin tub,
a yard and a half in width and six Inches in
depth, continue# to be the Britou’s favorite'
instrument for the matutinal ablution. In
this unwieldy contrivance, brought into his
chamber in the morning, John Bull takes
his frigid splash. His aversion to bath
rooms is akin to his horror of gai "above
tbe drawing room.” J. B. prefers to go to
bod by candle light. He has a notion that
gas will Buffocate him in his sleep. Per
haps ho cannot trust himself to shut off the
illumiuant by turning the "tap."

A B'altlmoro Man Claims the Invention
of the German War Balloons.
Baltimore, April 8. —Prof. William R.
Will of this city says he believes tho war
balloons from which tbo Germans have been
observing tbo Russian fortifications aud
armies are his own invention, lie declares
the descriptions of the balloons in the dis
patches from Europe coincide exactly with
plans which he perfected some time ago and
submitted to Chief von Lindenberg of tbo
aeronautical department of the German
army.
The German government, he states, kept
his plans long beyond the time set for their
return In oaso of rejection, and a few weeks
after thoy were sent back to him the news
that the novel balloons were hovering over
Russia was received. He asserts that he is
convinced tho Gormans have appropriated
an American invention without giving
either credit or price for it.
“This won't do”" exclaimed Mr Scadds, as
he held up his son’s heavy tailor’s bill.
"But it Is due, father," replied the unhappy

IT HAS COME AGAIN.
What? The opportunity to turn an honest
dollar on a small Investment. Let It pass and
you will be that mpeh behind. Take advantage
of It and you will be a good distance ahead.
YOUNG MAN,
Is it the bight of your ambition to work for some
one else all your life? Are you content to
spend all you make? Are you mean enough to
give all for selfish pleasure now and deny your
wife and children a home and plenty in the
future? Do you not fear the landlord? that
persistent gentleman of unfailing regularity.
O, no; you do not fear anything. Still you are
afraid to cut off one expensive habit to secure
even independence, liberty, competency.
. BOLD YOUTJ9.
Your fancied courage is the veriest cowardice.
How ofteu do wo hear some man say, “I have
paid enough rent to buy that house sev
eral times.’* Take warning. In the course of
ten years you will have wasted enough to keep
you in comfort all your days. Self-preservation
is nature's first law, and the moat abused in the
whole lot. Ee a man. Resist temptation. Buy
a lot. Stint yourself and pay for it. Self
denial, when coupled with right motives, is con
ducive to great happiness. One hundred dollars
a month, less s'ss house rent, niggardly living.
One hundred dollars a month, with no rent, in
dependence. happiness.
Call and get a plat of the lots to be sold on
