It is said that some two year

northern lady, went to Mr.
John Moulton’s house in Bald
win MMk'Vginr the benefit of
her Moulton found
that his boarder had a large
sum of money with her and
some valuable securities. With
the assistance of a female neigh
bor, lie locked Mrs. Coleman
up, and kept her a prisoner un
til a few days ago, when the
authorities interfered. This
;s a bare outline of the snppos
ed facts in the case, if there
is any truth in the story it beats
the average dime novel.
The 20th inst., at Rome, Dr.
J. B. S. Holmes shot and in
stantly killed his brother-in
law D. F. Allgood. The shoot
ing was in self-defense. An
old feud had existed between
them. Allgood had made his
threats to kill Holmes. This
the doctor avoided in every
available way by. shunning
Allgood at all times and places.
At the time of the killing the
doctor was returning from a
hunt with his friends, when
Allgood approached him. with
draw* pistol. Holmes fired
two loads of bird shot into him
from a double-barrel shot gun.
Both men were prominent in
business and social circles. All
good had- jus, been elected
president of a large immufac
taring establishment.. Holmes
is'a stockholder in this md sev-
er 1 railroads. He regrets the
killing, but says he hud to save
hi- own liil; for his wiie anti ba

Newburg, N. Y,, Jan. 2 i. —
This mor rung at 9 o’cloek a

W -i .-Uvet, tied Lie animal
an awning post and went

son ran to help the horse, but
no sooner did ha place his
hands on the animal than he
(Dawson) fell dead. An arc
Li lit wire touched the rod.
Thomas Suitz, who sa w Daw
son fall, hastened to Ids assist
ance and took hold of him to
lift him up, but received a ter
rible shock and,he,too. droop
ed to the ground as >1 dead. An
arc electric light wire had sag.

to the building, and the full
force of the electric current
was passing down the iron pos<
into the ground. Sallz was on

Jute on the Free List.
Congressman Stewart is<nak
ing a hard light to placejuto
bagging on the five Inst, and in j
this lie should have the earn
est aid and co operation not on
ly of the Farmers’ alliance, but
the support and encourage
ment of every good citizen m
the South who is' opposed to en
couraging trusts and combina
tions. The jute trust has off
ered to supply our farmers this
year with bagging at 7 cents
per yard; hut the alliance has
no guarantee that, when they
are once again fairly in the
clutches of this monopoly that
their helpless condition will
not he taken advantage of.
They know this jute t-rust to
be both selfish and treacher
ous, and are wise in refusing to
either treat or trade with tnem.
But Mr. Stewart has made a
move in the right direction and
we believe he will succeed in
his great work. When jute
bagging is placed on the tree
list, the trust will be eternally
crushed, for the cotton planters
can have f4ie markets of the
world to trade in. It is not
jute itself that the alliance are
fighting; hut ilie villainous com
bination of men formed to rob
and extort from tnem —[Alli

Washington, Jan. 13. Ihe
representatives of New i’crk
and Chicago, as rival candi
dates for the World’s Fair ad
dressed the Quadri-Centennial
Committee in the senate re
ception room on Saturday. The
last of the New York people
had arrived at S a. m., and
when ail were together, the
delegation was one of line ap
pearance and representative of
fabulous wealth. The room
was tar too small (o accommo
date the crowds of spectators.
Ohauucey M. Da Few spoke
first, and was frequently ap
plauded from the time he arose
until he concluded. His argu
ment was based upon the posi
tion of New York as the ac
knowledged metropolis of the
EEited States, and th 3 fact
that a large number of people
would be able to see the Fail
ed a smaller expense than if it
was located anywhere else in
the country- Ho was followed
by Bourke Cocran, and by War
nor Miller, in short, speeches.
Mayor Oreigcr presented
Chicago’s claims, fore mot be
ing the statement that Chica
go’s selection was asked by six
teen states of the Northwest.
| Thos. B. Bryan presented the
claim that the farmers of the
■ country w te ag eed upon
1 Chico use. TANARUS, ,7 c cry sake
of the financial booking Chica
go would give the 1 tir and of
the transportation facilities pos
sessed by the Lake City. Are
port of the senate committee
is expected this week.
The residence recently com
pleted for feen. Sawyer, is one
of the must unique of the
many unusual houses built
herein the last ie-v years. Jn
cite is very commending a: and is
on the most aristocrat io car !e
on Connecticut Avenu 1 lie
large, square oak-paneled hall
ends at a reception room in rat
in wood, the walls ol a delicate
saimoii pink, with a deep
frieze of lavishly scattered ros
es strewn as if blown by the
wind. The ceiling of sat in wood
is ornamented with :t rose in
tiie center of each panel. Above*
Tie mantel is a figure emble-j
matic of spring and roses.
Beyond this charming room
is a smaller reception' room,
hung in birds egg blue satin
damask, with a wide frieze of
blue and gold. Next is the din
ing room in dark oak. ihe
frieze is rather startling—per
haps unpleasantly so. Tea
cocks with wide spread tails,
stalking through gardens of
roses, attended by cupids and j
butterflies, are perhaps, too j
gorgeous ior Ihe heavy oak.
The ball-room is not yet finish
ed. The oak stairway is the
only one of Moorish design in
the city. Each bed room is ot
a different color, delicate tints
prevailing. Sen. Sawyer s study
is in highly polished oak, ceil
ing, walls and all. Tire furni
ture is in leather, while on eith
er side of the great open fire
place project oaken settlers.
Already the growling over
the selfishness of congressmen
has commenced. This time it
is occasioned by the refusal ox
Eastern members to vote for
the irrigation of arid Western
plains on the ground that thei r
constituents are not interested
in it. The only way relief for
the Western farmers can be se
cured so far as irrigation is con
corned, seems to be by the old
way of trading votes. The Wes
tern men must come to this
solution of their troubles and
make the best bargains possi
ble.
l’Sie funeral services over
the remains of non. William D.
Kelley of Pennsylvania, were
held in the hail of the House of
Representatives on Saturday
Long before the hour set for
the commencement of the ex e
monies, the galleries were titl
ed with spectators, to not a few
of whom the event partdnk of
the nature of a personal be-
reavement. At the hour of
noon Vice Frejjldent Morton,
who headeded 'the senatorial
delegation in attendance, took
.his scat by (lie side of Speaker.
Heed. Mrs. mmison was in
the executive gallery, accom
panied by Mr. and Mrs. iiallord.
