The naph tha yacht Paul Jones, which left Louis ville Dec. 7, with a pleasure party of prominent society people, bound foj' Pensacola, Fla., and other ports in southern waters, has probably gone down in a gale in the gulf of Mexico with all on board. The party consisted of Colonel H. O. Yocum and daughter, Miss Yocum, and G. M. Yocum, all of St. Louis; Miss Florence Taggart, daughter of Mayor Taggart of ludianapolis, and Miss Mar gie Woodland of Chicago. Deck Hand John Berry and Engineer Dadgley were the only two members of the crew of four known in Louisville. The last heard from the yact was when it left the mouth of the Missis sippi river on Jan. 3. It was the plan of Colonel IT. C. Yocum, under whose direction the yacht was sailing, to coast along the various ports between the Mississippi’s mouth aud Pensacola, Fla , where it was the intention of the party to make a considerable stay. Ac cording to weather reports received at the local bureau, the yacht encountered a storm when three days out. The relatives of those on board are in a terribly perturbed state of mind on ac count of lack of information. Thsv have been telegraphing every port on the gulf coast whero it is thought the slightest chance of information could be obtained. The craft was the property of Mr. Lawrence Jones of this city, but form erly a resident of Atlanta, Ga. HOT FISTICUFF AT SELMA. Aldrich, Republican, and Robbins, Democrat, Clash Over Politics. Selma, Ala , Jan. 10.—Hon. William F. Aldrich, member of congress from the Fourth Alabama district, and Hon. Gaston Robbins, member elect from the same district, had a fisticuff in the lobby of the Hotel Albert. Robbins, who is a Democrat, defeated Aldrich, who is a Republican, in the recent congressional election in tbe dis trict, and it is understood that Aldrich will contest his opponent’s seat on the ground of ballot frauds. When Aldrich walked into the hotel lobby Robbins approached him, and di recting his adversary’s attention to a newspaper which he held in his hand, remarked: “This paper has published a lot of scurrilous lies about me, and you have circulated them all over this district. I am going to hold you personally respon sible. ’ ’ With that Robbins struck Aldrich with his fist. Several gentemen rushed up to separate them, but the others called out to them to stand back and let the fight proceed to a fair finish. The fight was prolonged. It was full of ginger. The men were well matched as to weight, but Robbins proved the more aggressive, and pummeled Aid rich in a lively fashion until, it is said, he cried enough. Further trouble may grow out of the affair. AN INJUNCTION REFUSED. Seaboard Case Dismissed and Ryan Ordered to Pay Costs. Baltimoee, Jan. 16. —Judge Wykes today denied the injunction recently asked for in the Maryland circuit court by Thomas F. Ryan of New York, in which the petitioner sought to restrain the transfer of 3,000 shares of the stock of the Seaboard Air Line held by trustees under a pooling agreement. The petition was dismissed aud Mr. Ryan was ordered to pay the costs. The stocks in question were recently 6old to a syndicate headed by John Skelton Williams of Richmond and its transfer involves the control of the Sea board Air Line system. It is under stood that the purchasers have agreed to pay S2OO per share for the stock, which Mr. Ryan claimed bad been pre viously sold to him for $125 per share. The action of the court in denying the injunction clears the way to a transfer of the road to its new owners. BENTON M’MILLIN GOES IN. Tennessee's New Governor Formally Inaugurated at Nashville.

TO DISFRANCHISE BLACKS. BUI Wiil Probaply do Through the North State Legislature. Raleigh, Jan. 17.—A bill lias been introduced in the North Carolina legis lature to disfranchise the negro. The Democrats have a big majority, and the bill will doubtless be passed. It is mod elled after the Louisiana law. The committee having the measure in charge recently announced that it would give the negro leaders a hearing Two responded—the Rev. R.*H. W. Leak of Raleigh and Professor Crosby. Leak said he would be satisfied with any thing the legislature might do in the matter. “In the south,” he declared, “negroes are allowed to work aud earn money together with whites, but not to spend it together, while in the north they are not allowed to make money to gether. I like better the conditions here.” Professor Crosby is principal of one of the seven state normal schools. He said there were 125,000 negro voters in North Carolina, of whom only 25,000 were qualified to form an opinion as to suffrage. “I regard this solid black vote,” he asserted, “as a great menace to our government. The negroes need, in fact, to be saved from themselves. "You want to disfranchise enough negroes to make it certain that good government will prevail. Do that aud stop Do not go to the extent of per secution. ” Wt-uS HER CONVICT LOVER. Young Lady Marries a Man Sent to tin- Pen For Murder. Mobile, Jan. 17.—Miss lona Lay of Montgomery, a young woman of excel lent family, was married at Dolive, a convict camp a few miles north of here, to Dr. W. S. Baldwin, a convict. Baldwin is a member of one of the most influential families in the state. He killed a young man named Edson, in Bullock county, two years ago, and was sentenced for ten years. He is a highly educated and polished fellow, and has, since his incarceration, been serving the state as convict physician. Miss Lay had charge of a school at Mittylones, near where Baldwin was stationed on the convict farms, and a mutual infatuation ensued. Ail efforts on the part of the relatives to break up the love affair were futile. Miss Lay boarded a train in Mont gomery and came to Dolive where the ceremony was performed. Armies Face Each Oilier. “Another most important result will be immediate relief from a most embar rassing aud threatening situation in the Philippine islands. It is useless for us to shut our eyes to the fact that the American and Philippine armies are fronting each other with danger of col lision. Why is this? It is because the Filipinos, who fought Spain for their freedom, do not intend to become the vassals of the United States, and while senators announce on this floor that there is no intention to impose this gov ernment upon an unwilling people, there are other utterances that, lead the Filipinos to a contrary conclusion. In consequence toiiero is danger of blood shed between the American and Philip pine armies. If this declaration is promntly and authoritatively made by this government the apprehension will be relieved and there will be no distrust of the American army and no thought of hostility to it. ” Mr. Bacon then entered upon an argu ment against the annexation of distant territory with a dense population of an alien and inferior race. He said: “If annexed this territory must either be in the end admitted as states in the Union with their peoples as citizens en titled to equal rights and power with the citizens of other states or the terri tory must be held as colonies with their people as subjects and vassals of the United States.” Mr. Bacon discussed the question of the cost, civil and military, of keepi g up a colonial gover ent in the Philip pines, that the must neces sarily add largely to the taxes imposed on the people. He concluded by urging that the American people had enough to do in develpiug their own couutry, which, exclusive of Alaska, was ample for a population of 800,000,000, and in de veloping our own resources there was enough to task the energies and inspire the hopes of onr people for centuries some.

How to Secure Good Renulta and Save Wear and Tear. Remove the stains from table linen or other white goods before putting them in the wasli water, says New York Voice. Tea aud coffee stains can usually be rinsed out in clear cold wa ter. Apple, peach aud other fruit stains are harder to deal with, but will yield to tbe influence of a solution of chloride of lime which is made by dissolving a tablespoonful of lime in a little boiling wafer, then straining through a cloth into half u gallon of cold water. Keep it in a jug, tightly corked, until it is needed. Soak the stains in this solution until they disappear, then rinse in clear water. It is a good plan to mend any rent in the clothing beforo washing, os the worn places always become larger during tho laundering process. If you have not a oistern that furnish es plenty of clear soft water, you can “break" hard water and make it just as good by dissolving borax in it. The amount required cannot be determined except by trying it, as it varies with different kinds of water. Borax used in any water makes tho clothes easier to wash and saves more than its cost by lessening the amount of soap needed, and nothing else leaves the muslin and linen garments so beautifully white and clean. Borax is excellent for color ed clothes also, for, unlike many wash ing powders, it cleanses the tabric with out fading the most delicate colors or rotting the goods. Soaking the white clothes all night will loosen the dirt and make them easi er to wash. Get everything ready to be gin early in tho morning, aud a large washing cati usually be finished before the work of preparing dinner will re quire the attention. Make a panful of good starch, putting a teaspoonful of powdered borax dissolved in water into half a gallon of starch. This makes it smooth anil glossy and keeps it from sticking to the irons. Starch all tho gar ments that need it, except the whites shirts, collars and cuffs, as soon as they como from the rinse water. This is a much easier way than to dry them first and then starch them. Table linen re quires very little, if any, starch. Hang: colored clothes in the shade, as the bright sunshine fades them. Everything should be taken from the line as wwm as it is dry, for a few hours’ whipping in the wind wears them out more than wearing them a week. Confederates Want Pensions. Columbus Ga , Jan. 18.
