Columbus, O., Dec. 24.—Governor Dennison Camp Sons of Veterans, turn ed out to attend the fnneral of a mem her of the order, and on arriving at the reside ace of the deceased, B. Sells, 21 years old, son of Captain Orange Sells, who was beating the bass drum for his St Petersburg, Dec. 34.—Reports ol the merciless repression of outlawry are continually being received. The civil authorities do not depend upon them selves alone to put down the brigandage and other lawless acts, but upon the merest pretext they summon the mili tary with the intention of overawing people. m Three men were convicted of robbery - at Simbersk. capital of the government of that name, and were condemned to undergo punishment with the knout. So well did the official ply his dreadful weapon that the poor wretchas, whs had probably stolen only to keep life in their miserable bodies, Died Under tho loth. Another ease where the sentence, ac cording to Russian official ideas, was made to fill the crime, was that of a man who was detected in the heinous crime of stealing a few turnips. He was hauled before a court of justice aud sentenced a To Penal Servitude for Life. A new story Is totd of the famine that does not agree with the reports hitherto received regarding the feeling of the Russian people as a whole toward the famine sufferers. It is known beyond question that tho officers of many , regi ments have forgone their usual regi mental banquets in order to devote the money which woold thus have been spent to relieve the poor and distressed. This action was also followed by the members of the Order of St. George upon the occasion of that saint's name day. Others have followed the example thus set, aud large sums have been turned over To the Belief Committee* and ft was believed that the govern ment was looking closely into all the expenditures for the relief of the suffer ers. It is a fact that a number of grain dealers, who were detected in adulter ating their products, were sentenced to terms of imprisonment, and it was then stated that the government would pros ecute any one who was found to be trading in on unfair or dishonest man ner. The distress has not touched the hearts of rich merchants of Sc Peters burg, and They Refuse to Subscribe Anything for the relief of their suffering country men. Aa an illustration of the apathy with which the appeals for help have been received, the fact is cited that the collection boxes which had been placed about the corn exchange were found, when removed, to be filled with hits of tin and pieces of paper. It is farther said that, in numerous cases, dealers after receiving exhorbitant prices for their grain sent to the famine stricken provinces bags, the contents of which •were mostly grass, sand and bran. A limited quantity of maize placed in each hag after it had been thoroughly soaked in water to increase its bulk. These bags caught fire from spontaneous combustation while en route to their destination, and most of them were destroyed. Enough were left, however, to reveal the swindle the dealers intended to perpetrate on the buyers of the grain. Corruption Is Widespread among the office holders, and they are little affected by the sighs of distress, sickness and death which are visible on on every hand. Many town officials re fuse to enroll the starving peasants on the relief list unless they first pay a bribe to them at the rate of ten copecks for every poole of rye given. Petitions to the provincial assemblies and the government, asking that the dram shops 36 closed and that the sale of vodka, the native drink, be forbidden, have availed nothing. Daring the fiscal year of 1891 the taxes on spirits in Russia amounted to 269,480,890 roubles. A great part of this revenue was derived from vodka, enormoos quantities of which are drank throughout the country, and the grant ing of the petition above mentioned was refused on the ground that by closing the dram shops and forbidding the sale of vodlu the revenue accruing from this source would be reduced to too great an extent. The has been An Enormous Falling Off in the government revenues from the famine stricken provinces. In the province of Voronezh alone the deficit for September was 670,000 roubles; for October it was 800,000 roubles and for November it was 1,000,000 roubles. It is calculated that by the end of Decem ber the arrears will reach the sum of 6,000,000 roubles. Similar conditions prevail in the other provinces affected by the famine and the prospects are just as gloomy. The passport, labor and other restricting laws have been re moved so as to allow the peasants to migrate. Washington. Dec. 24 — Chairman Springer of the ways and means com mittee, said of his policy relative to the tariff legislation this session: I oppoaa any revision of the tariff on the eve of a presidential election. "It has never yet been tried without bringing disaster to the party attempt ing it. If we win the next pres idential election, then both houses of congress will favor a new tariff law. If we fail we had better let It alone, for it will show the people don’t wunt So far as the present year's work is concerned, I favor simply the removal of the duty of a few articles. "Every voter and housewife knows what was accomplished by placing su gar on the free'liat If we can do the same thing with wool and a few other articlee it will be all that we can hope tq.do at present*" As to Mr. Mills, Springer said he did not think Mills ought to feel that he had a life mortgage on the ways and means chairmanship. . ■ — «• — --- i company, dropped on the pavement in ,77. am * 1118 said that the volumes they front of the house and expired imme- yiulishod to long ago were far from he- lately.

Niagara Falls, Dec. 24—The public has heard much of the progress of the work at Niagara Falls on the canal and tunnel which are in progress of building by the Niagara Falls Power company. The canal above the falls and the tunnel which takes off the water after it has performed its service will be finished next fall. About these there were no particularly new engineering problems to solve. But ft was a serious problem how to utilize the power—120,000 horse »wer—developed by these works. IS las been reckoned that one horse power can keep two men busy, -that is, in a machine shop employing 1,000 men a power of 500 horses will be needed. Therefore it will be seen that to at tempt to use this great power immedi ately at Niagara would involve the bnilding of one of the very largest cities in the whole of the tTnifbd States. But great cities do not spring Up at com mand, and the projectors of this enter prise, while bearing in mind the value and making provision for the use of a great deal of this power on the spot, have found that even then there woold be much more to spare than had been used. It was found in endeavoring to solve the problem of how best to utilize thiB surplus that while American engineers had shown great skill and Ingenuity in the use of water power where it was generated, they were far behind the European engineers in their ability to transmit such power to • long distance. Buffalo is the largest town within easy reach of Niagara, being some eighteen miles away. This was where the power company wished first to get, but by any of the methods used in America the loss of power was so great that it would not In this emergency Dr. Coleman Sellers, the distinguished engineer and scientist of Philadelphia, was asked to visit Eu rope and see what he could learn there that would enable the company to do what it wished. He found that the Swiss were transmitting water power very cheaply and efficiently, and that in Paris and Birmingham compressed air was being used with great satisfaction. But even after seeing all that he could he did not feel equal to making plans with which he was entirely satisfied. He, therefore, at the expense of the com pany, organized an international com mission, with Sir William Thompson as chairman. On this commission, besides Sir William, were Dr. Sellers, represent ing America; Colonel Turrenttini, mayor of Geneva, representing Switzerland ;'M. Mariettas, of the French institute, and Ptofessor Unwin, of London. This commission received plans from all the greatest electrical engineers in -the world and awarded prizes aggre gating $25,000. These plans showed that to take the power to Buffalo was entire ly feasible, and that while tho power could be sold at a great profit on the spot at ten dollars per annum per horse power, it could also he sold in Buffalo at a price very much under the cost of steam generated there in the usual way. The company will therefore strike once for a contract to light the city of Buffalo. No plan to utilize the whole of tho power generated has been adopted, but apart from that used on the spot ar rangements will be made, so soon as the works are finished next October, to trans mit within a radius of twenty miles Of the central station at Niagara, two blocks of power of 5,000 horse power each, one block to be transmitted by electricity and one by compressed air. Then the remaining 100,000 horse power or so will be transmitted as there is a demand for it and in the manner which proves to be to be the cheapest and best. Jno. Gilmer Speed.

A Minister’s Cure. A MINISTER AND HIS LITTLE BOY CUBED OF OBSTINATE SKIN DISEASES BY THE CUTI- cura Remedies. Prams them in the PULPIT, HOME, AND IN THE STREET. Cured by Cuticura. For about thirteen rears I have been troubled with eczema or some other cutaneous disease which all remedies failed to cure. Hearing of the Cuticura Remedies, I resolved to give them a trial. I followed the directions carefully, and It affords me mnch pleasure to say that bo- fore using two foxes of the CuTicuPAjcmr cakes of Cuticuba Soap, and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, I was entirely cured. In addition to my own case, my baby boy, then abont five months old. was suffering with what I supposed to te the same disease as mine, to such an ea ten! that his head was coated over wii ha solid scab, from which there was a'constant flow of pus which was sickening to look upon, besides two large tnmor-Uko kernel- 1 on the back of his- bead. Thanks to your wonderful cuticuba Kemudies. his scalp is perfectly well, and the kernels have heen scattered so that there is only one little place by his lett ear, and that Is hen':- ing nicely. Instead of a coating of scabs he has a fine coat of hair much better than that destroyed by the disease. I would that the whole world of sufferers from skin and blood diseases kne-v the value of your Cuticuba Rem- bdiks as I do They are worth ten times the price at ;which they are sold.
