The Arsn
of 31 r, Hcnnctt
WifiBSOKV, Jan. 2.—Tho ways and
ueans cominitico to-day heard argu-
neat* by representatives ot tho wool
l
George IL Wallace of Missouri read a
i it j-Aicd paper, at Curding with *t* tit-
tics, to demonstrate the necessity for
maintaining the duties on imported wool
and i ingested »n adjustable tariff which
would diminish when wool was scarce
and high in prices, and when it was
plentiful and low in prices. He dwelt
at length upon what he described as the
impe rfections of the present classifica
tion, saying that in Wanamaker’s store
could be seen pantaloons raado of third
class, or carpet wool, snd Bold at $3.50
per pair. The importers of carrot wools
said this grade of wool was used every
where and for all kinds of wool manu
facturing as well as carpets. This
demonstrated the fact that the importa
tion of third class wool under tho present
l«w is diminishing tire production of
wool in America.
COST OF WOOL IN MISSOURI.
- Representative Flower questioned Mr.
"Wallace closely as to the actual cost of
wool production In Missouri, eliciting
the fact that lend was worth from $30
tu $10 per acre and that it would main
tain one sheep per acre. Representative
Carlisle joined in the inquiry and ascer
tained from tno witness that a fleece av
eraged $1.50, and that the actual cost of
tho production of wool was about 20
cents a pound. There was no money to
be mads st that figure, Lut thero wero
other considerations to be heeded, such
as the manuring of tho land, th$ fact
that sheep cleared oil the brambles and
weeds and otherwise benefited a farm.
Mr. Carlisle remarked that was as ho
supposed, sheep wero not valuable alone
for wool snd mutton.
Mr. Breckinridge sought to ascertain
the production ot third-class wool in the
United States, but the witness said that
owing to tho fact that the class of wool
u»sd by carpet manufacturers varied sc-
cording to tho quality of the manufac
ture be could not give any exact figures.
The wool growers had found tho carpet
manufacturers very reticent in giving
information. Mr. Breckinridge, having
put a long hypothetical question respect
ing the amount of profit in wool grow
ing in the United States tho witness re
plied that be would find tiiat subject dis-
cuaaed with great ability in tbo Presi
dent's message of two years ago.
A PETITION FOB TREK WOOL.
F. P. Bennett, a reporter, wa* the
next witness and said that two petitions
v mid be presented to congress, one
si^md by 590 persons in favor of free
wool, and another signed by 906 persons
in f.iror of an od valorem duty on wool,
hi plooe of the present specific form of

City op Mexico, via Galveston, Jan 2.
—A telegram from Villo Laredo gives
particulars of tho fall of the plaza last
Tuesday while a bull fight was in pro
gress. About ten thousand people were
crowded into the building.
BUILDINO AND PEOPLE TUMBLED.
When the second bull was being killed
ut-tuly every puraou |iincut *050 and
stood, applauding and stamping their
feet, wlien suddenly one side of the
plaza commenced to give way. A rush
followed, and tho extra movements of
the thousands of spectators helped to
bring about tho fall of the structure. It
bulged out rapidly and then collapsed,
precipitating the unlucky inmates to tho
ground, tbo distance of the falls ranging
from ten to twenty-five feet. Many
were buried beneath the debris. Among
them were many ladies of the best fami
lies of tho town.
FOUGHT PACINO DEATH.
Many fights occurred among the
and many were stripped of every stitch
of clothing. The crowd on tho opposite
side of the building, which numbered
several thousand, btcamo panic stricken
and fell and trampled pn one another in
their attempts to reach the outside of the
plaza. The bull fighters were also seized
with fear and made their exits with the
bulls dose by following.
NO ONE KILLED.
The number of wounded will reach
into hundreds, but while the injuries of
many are serious and painful, it is not
thought any will prove fataL

Wiminoton, Del., Jan. 9.—In the su
perior court this afternoon the jury in
the case of Elizabeth B. McComb vs, the
Southern Railroad Association, rendered
a verdict in favor of tho plaintiff for tho
full amount claimed, $2,204,100, being
tlie heaviest ever given in a Delaware
court.
The plaintiff is the widow of the lato
Col. Ii. S. McComb, who was a heavy
stockholder in the Mississippi Central
railroad, which was absorbed by the
Southern Railroad Association, and the 4
verdict is for 900 Mississippi Central
coupon bonds of $1,C00 cadi, beating
interest at 7 per cent, from data of issue,
Dec. 17, lt7;i.
Tho verdict does little mote than
establish the validity of the nlalutin'*
claim, since tho assets will fall far below
satisfying the judgment.
Argument was begun in the United
States circuit court to-dny in an allied
case entitled the Rogers Locomotive and
Machine Works of Now Jersey to tho
use of Elizabeth Ik McComb vs. tho
Soutliorn Railroad Association of Ton

the prices were known all over tho

Chairman McKinley, tlie witu<
tl a: personally he favored the ad valo
rem petition as be was averse to radical
changes and believed that an ad valorem
of 40 per cent, on combing and 20 jier
cent, on carpet wool would afford suffi
cient protection. In reply to Mr. Car
lisle the witness said it was undoubtedly
truo as the land increased in price the
number of sheep decreased; where sheep
decreased the projurty of ths luliabT

of statistics relative to the cost of grow

wool cost tbe grower 25 cents per pound,

from a letter written by a Colorado sheep

Cured by the “ Favorite Prescription."
# A fltanclanl remedy for tho peculiar ills incident to that critical
period in a girl’s life when sho is just entering upon her “ teens,” is
lound in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Young ladies* boarding-
schools have sent their pupils home rosy-chcelccd, romping lasses, like
tho threo beautiful maidens in the abovo illustration, when they have
resorted to tho use of u Favorite Prescription ” for building up aud
regulating tho systems of those delicate, pale, sickly girls, just ap
proaching puberty, who need a generous, supporting tonic and a quiet
ing, strengthening nervine—free from alcohol and injurious drugs.
Whether in boarding-schools or homes, it is guaranteed to correct
all those delicato derangements and weaknesses incident to females.
