The Chicago Sun declares that “the progress made in some Southern towns reads more Jike a fairy tale than fact.* Canon Wilber fore®, one of the most distinguished divines in England, attrib¬ utes t.ho recent recovery of his health to the “faith mu*.’* The Emperor of China desires to re¬ organize the police and fire departments of that country, and he has directed a representative of his minister at Wash¬ ington to go to Chicago and get point- cm ’ Russia ha* readopted the law which forbids h«im to the throne contracting marriage* with persons not members of the orthodox Grtek Church. The San Francisco Chronicle thinks that many of the Indian reservations are entirely out of proportion to the beggarly collection of savages that roam over them. A Government report published recent¬ ly, gives the mineral output of the United States for the year at considerably more than $500,000,000, placing it far ahead of any other country in the world. The many complications in Europe, growing out of desire for more territory and other causes, have created shrink ages in stocks, the moneyed men believing that wars are fairly sure to be the result. 1 The denudation of its timber by the lumbermen of Minnesota has been viewed with great alarm, but the woodman’s ax Is not near so deadly fn its ravages, as- 6erts the San Francisco Chronicle , as the forest fire. In a short time, predicts Goodall's Sun, the Sioux lands will be opened up to im¬ poverished immigrants.

If Chicago has really solved the smoke nuisance, as is claimed, she will have won, observes the New York Voice, the lasting gratitude of the civilized world. The Wisconsin Central is trying on its engines a new smoke-burner which seems to work satisfactorily. i Ten years ago there were twenty-two railroads which could not interchange cars owing to the gauge. Now all are alike, and cars owned in Maine are seen slipping over the rails in Texas, The railroad system of the United States is declared to bo as perfect as a system can be made. A resident of Seattle, Washington Ter¬ ritory, which was recently destroyed by fire, offers to give $20,000 toward a new town hall if they -will rename the place. He suggests Edinburg, 4ut is not particu¬ lar if they call it Smith City. Anything but Seattle, which is the Indian name for dry bones. : Observes the New York Commercial Advertiser: “When Cardinal Gibbons, the other day, in Baltimore, ordained as priest Charles Randolph Uncles* a colored man, a step was taken which is likely to mark an epoch in the religious history of that race, Uncles is the first colored man ever elevated to the Roman Catholic priesthood in this country.” The city of Buenos Ayres, in the Ar- gentine Republic, has expended ni during the , last . six . years dm *10,000,000 mu in - con- sirnetiug sixty magnificent school build- ings for 600 pupils each.

Before the war the high-water mark in cotton was 5.300.000 bales. The crop of last year is not yet entirely out of the hands of the planters, but those whose business attention is absorbed by the staple place it at 7.400.000 bales, an in- crease of 300,000 over the year pre- ceding.

ONE MAN KILLED AND TWO OTHERS SE VEUELY WOUNDED. Saturday night was a tragic evening ic the town of McRae, Ga. One of her citi¬ zens bleeding from a severe stab in the abdomen, another iying stiff in death from a pistol shot through the bowels, and still another bleeding from a shot in the leg. While the evening mail was being distributed a disturbance arose in the postoffice between Mr. Wash Lancas¬ ter, bis two sons, Wright and John, and a young man named Clark. The result was that Clark was beaten pretty badly. Clark was taken out of towD, and all thought the matter was ended. But few minutes had elapsed when every one was startled by the rapid firing of pistols. Six of Talfair’s prominent citizens defied each other with but a few feet of dirt intervening — three Lan¬ casters, father and two sons on the one side, and the three McRaes, Edward, John and Frank, two brothers and a cousin on the other. When the cloud ol smoke had cleared away it was found that Mr. Ed McRae had been seriously cut in the left side, and that Mr. Wash Lancaster had been shot in the abdomen and his son Wright iu the leg. There are no more prominent families in this section of the country than the Lancas ters or McRaes. Each have held offices of trust and honor in this county, and deep is the regret on every side that this tragedy occurred. A ‘'DRAW” VERDICT. THE HOWARD JURY RETURNS A VERDICT OF ONE CENT DAMAGES. After being out two days, the jury in the celebrated Howard damage suit at Jackson, Miss., on Friday returned a verdict for plaintiff, giving him one cent damages. The plaintiff seemed somewhat disappointed, but the defendants are pleased with. the result. This suit was begun nearly three years ago by the Rev. Frederick Howard, D. D., against sixteen lead¬ ing Baptists and three newspapers. He was charged with being under an as¬ sumed name and a “mass of corruption.” The case will be handed down as one of the most celebrated in the history of Mississippi. Depositions were taken on three continents to establish the charge of identity. The town, county and sur¬ rounding communities have been greatly interested in the result, as well as Bap¬ tists throughout the country, one of the defendants, Dr. J. R. Graves, having more than a national reputation, and all being prominent citizens. The case will not be appealed, and the people are glad it is ended. CIRCUS SWEPT AWAY. A. CIRCUS WIPED OUT OF EXISTENCE— SEVERAL*LIVES LOST. A dispatch from Parkersburg, W. Va., says: Further details of the disastrous floods iu Wirt county have been received. The brother of Thomas Hughes, whose wife and children were drowned Sun¬ day, arrived from Pittsburg to assist in the care of his brother, who is dyiug from injuries received. Thomas Black” who lived close to the Hughes family, and who was drowned with his wife, had but recently been married. A cir¬ cus cloud-burst was showing on Tucker creek when the struck that section. The flood struck the show just after ijie per¬ formance began and tore the canvas to shreds, utterly wrecking and ruining the whole concern, carrying off horses, wag¬ ons and tents. M’Alma, who performed ou the trapeze, was drowned. It is re¬ ported that some employes also lost theii lives, but the whole section of country where the misfortune occurred is still in such confusion that it is impossible to get full particulars. Saulsbury, on the Big Taigart river, is virtually wiped out of existence. MONEY IN POTATOES. IMMENSE PROFIT FROM ONE AND A HALF ACRES—HOW IT IS MADE. Moses L. Petty, of Ophir, Ga., is a grand success as a potato raiser—sweet or Irish, lie plants and cultivates a po¬ tato crop every year, because, as he says: “It is a lazy man’s crop.” He says it can be matured at less cost and labor with better results than any other. He has one and one-half acres in Irish potatoes this year from which he expects to gather not less than 600 bushels. Now multi¬ ply this by the probable amount per bushel he will get, and you will see what the acre and one-half will bring him— certainly a great deal more than any other like amount of ground will bring planted in corn or cotton, or sowed iu wheat or oats, or almost any crop you cau name. He selects the early n se or Goodrich, prepares his land well, ma¬ nures freely with st.ib'e manure and un¬ slacked lime, plants deep for a long root, and then leaves the seedlings to grow and get in their work. The result is al¬ ways satisfactory, as the crop nets him well at a small outlay of work and ex pense. SOUTH CAROLINA FRUITS. a wonderful plenty—peaches fif teen cents a crate, etc. - The abundance of fruit this year seem- to be general throughout tbe whole state of South Carolina. Iu Columbia fiuit is actually a “ glut’' on riie market. Farmers bring into that city wagon loads of melons for which they are uu- able to find a market at any price.

A pistol shot was heard, and an employe louud Fitts lying on the ground with an ugly wound behind his right ear, and the pis¬ tol with one chamber empty at his feet. There is nothing to determine whether it is a case of suicide or murder. A STARTLING THEORY THAT TIIE MANY WUIITECHAPEL MURDERS WERE COMMITTED BY A WOMAN. A startling and appalling story relat¬ ing to the Whitechapel atrocities, comes from London, England, and if it proves true, it will show that the really sensa¬ tional elements of the horrible crimes have either heretofore been unknown to the police, or, if known, have been suc¬ cessfully suppressed from the public until now. The perpetra¬ tor of the Whitechapel butch¬ eries is a woman, so the story goes. It is stated that this allegation is not based on a theory, but a fact. The letters 3igned signed by JackjJ the Ripper, were thus to lead to the supposition that the murderer was a man. Great surprise has been expressed at the fact that so many murders could be committed in such a thickly populated locality as is the East End, and that the man who did the killing could escape, especially as all of the fallen women of London have been on their guard for months past. The murderess could approach a woman with¬ out being suspected, because she was a woman herself. She could discuss the murders with her dissolute companions, and on the pretense of illustrating how the butcheries were committed would pass her left arm around the vic- tem’s head, covering the eyes and pulling her head back with the one hand while she drew her knife across the throat with the other. It is asserted that the fact that the killer was a woman was devel¬ oped by harlot an unsuccessful attempt to mur¬ der a in Whitechapel,-made within the last few days, and the arrest of the would-be perpetrator, who is said to be a Spanish or an Italian woman, whose mo¬ tive was to murder all the fallen women she could, in the hope that by so doing she would remove the one that had aroused her jealousy, she not being posi¬ tive as to the exact woman who had charmed her lover from her side. In ad¬ dition, it is alleged that the tigress mu¬ tilated the corpses of those she killed in order to further satisfy her crazy desire for revenge. EIGHT PEOPLE KILLED. A BUILDING BLOWN DOWN, KILLING EIGHT: PERSONS AND WOUNDING FOUR OTHERS. A terrible storm raged in Chicago Saturday night in which an unfinished building, iu process of construction at the corner of Twenty-First and Leavitt streets, was blown down, completely de¬ molishing the frame cottage that stood beside it.

The wounded arc: Chas. Buch, husband of Mrs. Amelia Buch: Albert Buch, Lula Ferdi- naches and Ida Ferd in aches.
