Twelve “ Smellers-Oiit” to Die.
News has been received here from
Zululand to the effect that twelve ’/.ulus
have been sentenced to death for par¬
ticipation in a murder which was dis¬
covered by their peculiar practice of
“smelling out.” When the chief is ail¬
ing or cattle are sick, or any unexplained in¬
misfortune overtakes the kraal, the
habitants sre made to scat themselves in
a great circle, and the sorcerers of the
tribo, after the performance of certain
hideous rites, discover the one who by
means of charms or the practice of black
magic lias brought the evil upon them.
Him or her they touch with a wand, and
the touch is equivalent to a sentence of
death. In this case the murderers
smelled out arc alleged to have put their
victim to death by moans of slow poison.

THE FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS
The Honse and Senate Called to Order
in Rcplar Session
Daily Summary of Koulinc Business in
Ihe Two Houses.
Till - . IIOl’SK.
Mondat, Jan. 22.—The third and
last, week of the tariff debate in the
house opened with a slim attendance
of members and visitors. After the
reading of Saturday’s journal and some
executive communications, the house
went into committee of the whole to
consider the tariff bill.
Tuesday, Jan. 23.—After the trans¬
action of some routine business in the
house Tuesday morning, fhe house
went into committee of the whole to
consider the tariff bill. Bending this,
however,some time was spent in deter¬
mining whether the sugar schedule
should be completed or whether the
coni and iron ore schedule should be
taken up in pursuance of the agree¬
ment reached Haturday. The speak¬
er finally ruled that sugar should
take precedence and the house
went into committee of the whole, ltaw
and refined sugar was put on the free
list, by a vote of 101 to 38. This, of
course, was bitterly opposed by Louisi¬
anians, but they received little sympa¬
thy. The embarrassment they caused
the democrats by refusing to vote and
preventing a quorum in the early days
of the session has not been forgotten.
The coal schedule was then taken up.
The Wilson hill puts coal on the free
list. Mr. Oates offered an amendment
pitting a tax of 40 per cent on coal.
After some disscussiou, the house de¬
cided to retain coal on the free list.
Wednekdav, Jan. 21. The house
Wednesday devoted a majority of its
time to the iron schedule of the tariff
bill. Though the Alabama men and
others made strong speeches advocat¬
ing a duty on iron ore, the house sus¬
tained the committee in its report put¬
ting ore on the free list by a larg v mu
jority. The cotton mill machinery
schedule was then taken up and debat¬
ed the remainder of the evening. An
amendment is pending to put cotton
mill machinery on the free list. I he
income tax was then reported and the
New York and New Jersey delegations,
led by Jiotirke Cochran, immediately
kicked against its consideration.
TnriWDAY, Jan. 25. Only one
amendment to the tariff hiil of impor¬
tance was adopted by the bouse Thurs¬
day, that of repealing the reciprocity
clause of the McKinley law. The.cn
tiro day was consumed by tins New
York democrats, who begun filibuster¬
ing Wednesday against the income tax
proposition, which they feared would
lie offered along with other features of
the internal revenue bill, us nn amend¬
ment to the Wilson bill.
Till! SEN AT'I!.
Monday, Jan. 22 Tlioro was noth
iug of public importance in the morn
ing business of tbe senate Monday
beyond the presentation of several re
monstrances against the Wilson tariff
bill. Many industries were reprt
j mrt feu I af 1 y * I Vie’ etTif YiYt 1 LVuV 'wot iVe'ti
goods industry. After considerable
diseussion, Mr. Call’s civil service
resolution was agreed to, with nn
amendment (submitted for that
offered by Mr. Berry) requiring the
dnte of the appointment te be given
which would indicate (as Mr. Cock¬
rell suggested) tho polities of the per¬
sons appointed. Tho resolution offer¬
ed by Mr. l’effer (populist), of Kan
sun, last Thursday, declaring that the
secretary of the treasury has no an
thority to issue or sell bonds ns pro
posed in bis notice, was tuken up, and
Mr. l’effer proceeded to address the
senate upon it.
Tdwspay Jan. 23. lit the senate
Tuesday, a resolution wa a reported
from the committee on foreign
relations and went over without
action, declaring it unwise and
and inexpedient nt this time to con
Hitler any project of annexation of the
llaw'siinn territory to the Baited
Flutes; that the provisional govern¬
ment there, having been duly recog¬
nized, should be allowed to pursue its
own lineof policy,and that any interven¬
tion in tlu> political ntViiirsof tho islands
will be regarded ns nn net unfriendly
to the United States. Mr. Stewart,
of Nevada, addressed the somite in
support of Belief’s resolution offered
on the tSth instant, declaring that the
secretary of the treasury 1ms no lawful
authority for issuing and selling bonds,
ns proposed in his recent resolution.
After two hours’ labor, the house voted
that Warner’s proposition, looking to
free refined sugar, adopted Monday
afternoon, shall bo treated ns n sub¬
stitute and not us an amendment. This
released the house from the tangle iu
which it adjourned. The paragraph,
as amended, was then adopted by a
rising vote of yens 161, uays 38. V
demand for tellers received bui 19
votes, 81 not Mio.mil p. to secure them
Ihe object . . of . this vote is to put nil
sugars, raw and refilled, oil the free
j’*v the xoto Monday aftiruoon. r Ilu mi ">
gar schedule being disposed of, the
coal schedule was taken tip nud a mini
Bel- nor of ,,f nnifiiilmmiv amendment. ott< ,fr,, ri rt ,,i I ti ;, 1,, 1
democrats front coal producing states.
Wednesday, Jan. 24. I11 the sen
ate, Wednesday, the bill repealing the
federal election laws came up ns the
unfinished business. Various amend¬
ments were submitted to tho Hnwaii
au resolution and. by agreement, it
went over until Thursday. Senator
Lodge then took the fioor in opposi¬
tion to the bill repealing the federal
election laws. At o;i •> o * clock , , ,, the
senator concluded his remarks ami, on
motion of Senator All,son. the scat.
went into executive session. At
3:15 o’clock the doors were reopened
and Senator Coke, of 1 exas called up
the bill authorizing the Gulf .Beau
mont and Kansas l tty ha.lrond com
pany to bridge the Neches -ind Sabine
rtvers in Ixmisiana and Texas, i his
measure was made the occasion of :t
tietailed discussion by Senator test, o:
the recent veto by President Cleveland
of the New York and New Jersey
bridge bill, after which the bill w«s
passed, several minor amaiidmeuts 1
ing first adopted. i he bill exteudiu
the time for the construction ot
the bridge across the Calumet
river, Illinois; the senate bill author
izing the issue of a jiatent to the Pres¬
byterian board of home missions for
certain lands ort the Omaha Indiau rcs
vation for school purposes, and the
land in the abandoned fort Cummings
military reservation were passed. At
4 o’clock p. m. the senate adjourned.
Tm nsDAY, Jan. 25.—The session of
the seriate Thursday was uneventful.
The Hawaiian resolution went over
until Friday, and Senator Allen, of
Nebraska, made an extended argument
favor of . his , resolution , .. declaring , , . tire
m
contemplated issue of bonds by Becre
tary Carlisle to be unlawful and the
l>on<Is, if issued, illegal. A desultory
discussion of the federal election bill
followed until 5 o’clock, when addresses
of eulogy were delivered upon the late
Logan Chipman, formerly a represeu
tative from Michigan, and, as a further
mark of respect, the senate, at 3:50
o’clock, adjourned.

Sailed tbe Well.
“One of the most productive oil
wells in the well-known Titusville dis¬
trict was sold as a salted one,” Raid B.
E. Richmond, of Meadville, Pa., to
the corridor man at the Southern. “It
was in the early days of the oil excite¬
ment, and capitalists were indications eagerly
seeking lands where surface
gave prospects of a find, Three
brothers owned a small, sterile farm
worth about $500, and they thought
they saw a chance to sell out at a big
price. They had no indications, but
they had enough money to buy a few
barrels of oil, and by judicious use of
it they made flic indications all right.
Then they told about it as a great
secret, they did not want to
sell; what they wanted was to get
money enough to sink a well. The
bait took, and after a good deal of hag¬
gling a party of prospectors bought the
farm for $10,009 in cash and 10 per
cent of the oil the firm produced during
the first two years, they binding them¬
selves to sink two wellls at once.
When the brothers receiued the money
they arranged that their 10 per cent.
should be placed iu the banks to their
credit, and fearing exposure from their
frauds, they went West, and were
never heard and from The wells were
sunk, both were gushers, the 10
per cent, was placed in bank, according
to agreement, until the sum reached
$100,000. Years passed by and nothing
heard of the brothers, they fearing to
write, as they thought they might be
subjected to criminal prosecution for
swindling. Finally an uncle learning
the true state of affairs, concluded to
look them up. If they were dead he
would get the money, being the near
est living relative. After two years’
search he located one of them in a
Colorado poor-house; the other was
dead. The pauper was brought home,
and lived in wealth for a year, when
he died, and the money is now being
enjoyed by his relative^”— St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

Peculiar Names in Signs.
“It is singular to note the peculiari¬
ty of names,” says a writer for the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. “I was going I
down a street in St. Louis when saw
that A. Gander was in the grain busi¬
ness, which is certainly appropriate, like
and it called to mind a number of
instances that I have seen in different
sections of the country. In Chattanoo¬
ga an undertaker is named Gay; inMo
bile the former keeper of a cemetery was
named Graves. I n South Pittsburg there
is a law firm named Bright & Early. In
Marion, Ind., a law firm which formerly
existed was Robb k Steele. In Mount
Vernon, Ill., is a sign reading, ‘Fly
Coffin Shop.’ Iu Rushville a hotel firm
used to be Cook & Fry'. A sign in Pax¬
ton, Ill., reads, ‘A Sample Lawyer.’
In Troy, N. Y., a butcher is named
Cnlfkiller. Near Lynn, Mass., two
farmers got into a lawsuit which was
entitled Haymaker vs. Turnipseed. A
man named Apple is in the fruit busi¬
ness at. Indianapolis. Sickman is the
name of a doctor in Cincinnati. Hoss
k Harness is a livery stable firm in
Kokomo, Ind. A man named Boatman
runs a ferry in Mississippi. William
Shakespeare is a barber in Philadel¬
phia. Charles Lamb now conducts a
peanut, Washington stand is in blacksmith Chicago. George
a in Sa¬
vannah, and Charles Die.kenn io a gam¬
bler in the fur west. All of which
lends to the conclusion, in my mind,
that there is nothing in a name.”

Tobacco Growing.
There seems to be a strong tendency
among our southern iarmers to engnge
in the culture of tobacco. Unless you
can produce a very superior article
that will bring a fancy price don't do
it Farmers in Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia and Missouri, who have grown
tobacco for a life time, are not much
better off than when they began, be¬
sides their farms are badly impover¬
ished. If you desire to make a specialty
of tobacco culture, plant one or two
acres of some approved variety that
will bring a fancy price in the market,
and let some one else grow the com¬
mon sorts.
Tobacco, a complete success at the
North Louisiana Experiment Station
in 1892, is reported a partial failure
this year, owing to the unfavorable
season. — Times- Democrat.
