This is regarded as the first step toward an adjustment of the trou ble arising over the departure from Venezuela of the Ministers of Spain, Germany, France and Bel gium, because they had united in a communication io their Govern ments reflecting on the President and officers of Venezuela. The Ministers of Spain and Ger many withdrew voluntarily, and those of France a d Belgium were politely given their passports. France assumed a some*hat belig erent aspect, sending a gunboat to take her Minister. The subject has been watched ’ with interest by the State Depart ment, owing to the part the United States has taken in the boundary contest between Venezuela and Great Britain. GAVE A MIRROR To the Monkeys and They Tore it to Pieces, New York, March 29.—While watching the monkeys in Central Park Zoo to-day Louisa Cenning thought to add to the amusement by throwing a hand mirror into the cage, and he did so. In the battle royal for the look glass the monkeys pulled off the back and then broke the glass in their endeavors to get at the new monkey. Cenning was arrested, and told the Justice that he did not mean any harm, and added that he had given the mirror to the mon key in a spirit of fun. He had often done so, he said, at the Zoo on the Rhine, near where he was born. The Justice, after giving him a lecture, discharged him. ONE GONE, ONE DAMAGED Versailles. Ohio, March 29. While the sixteen year old son of J.S, Mauk, the Versailles dairy man, was exploding some powder, put in an auger hole in a stick of wood to hear it, cr cS, this evening be bad the sight of one of his eyes entirely destroyed and the other badly injured. ALL THREE SHOT. Matamoras, Mexico, March 20. —Advices have just reach here that Sostenes Saldana and two other desperate prisoners, who were b— ing conducted from this place t® La Mula, where they were to be tried, attempted to t scape, when all three were shot and killed bj the military escort. A Dispute With Ecuador Washington, D. C., March 29. There is some reason to apprehend that there may be failure of the ar bitration of the celebrated Santos claim against Ecuador, as a result of a change made by Great Britain in her representation in that coun try, or at least it may be found necessary to go over the entire ground again and secure a modifi cation of the treaty negotiated with so much pains by United States Minister Mahaney, by which this case was to be adjudicated. Santos is an American citizen who was imprisoned and despoiled of his property by the Ecuadorians in 1884 and 1885. At one time this led to serious trouble between the United States and Ecuador, and it was found necessary to send Uni ted States warships to Guayaquil in order to secure Santos 1 release. Family Poisoned by Salmon. Marion, Ind., March 29. lhe family of Wetzel, living near here composed of Mr. and Mrs. Wetzel and two children, took suddenly ill after partaking of a can of salmon, and but for the timely arrival ol a neighbor, who found them writhing in agony, would have died. A mes senger was dispatched for a physi cian, who administered an antido e. They are still living, but in a very weak condition. A portion of the salmon was examined, but nothing of a poisonous nature was found.

And everybody seems anx ious to be at farm work. Although the last of March is here farmer are still sowing oats. If the good weather continues, corn planting will begin in a few days. Wheat is very backward but looks healthy. And farmers are expect ing good crops. There is but little appearance of spring, not as much as a plum blos som. Mr. Adolphus Shelton last week, in a bateau on coosa river made the trip from Livingston to Big Cedar Creek, a distance of about twenty-five miles; he reports a good ride and the shooting of seven wild ducks. Mr. R. B. Simms on yesterday attended the annual meeting of the board of trustees of Hearn Institute at Cave springs. He reports a har monious meeting of the body, and the public may confidently expect a grand result from what was be gun in that day’s work. Johnnie Williams the youngster who had a leg amputated a few weeks since has so far recovered his strength as to enter Melson High School. He is boarding with he f imily of Mr. R. B. Simms. John s a bright boy and expects to re main in school til it closes in Juno. Melson High School is fast be coming one of the best school in Floyd county. Having been for six years continues under the same teacher in a comunity five years ago Geography aad common fractions were considered woi derful advancement, but now you hear the pupils talk of diagrams m In glish grammar, percentagein arith metic Jand’conjugation of a La* n verb. etc. Already the idea of procuring imigrants is growing, the idea is to get a “Boasting” fellow to start work to use the fine maple of our swamps in making shoe pegs and tooth picks, it is thought if such machinery that would cut a few barrels daily of shoe pegs and a few hundred bundles of tooth picks could be located West of Bunchy Branch, with a shrewd superin tendent backed by our “young America ’ then we would soon have a bridge and a fill, so the world could get the pegs and tooth picks. Our people have been water bound nearly all the winter. Oh; how badly we need a bridge on Big Cedar Creek and a short fill of earth through Bushy Branch bot tom. How we wish the county had a few hundred dollars to build the bridge and could spare the Chain gang to make the fill. But we know times are hard and we are poor and must stay in the country and go miles and miles around the back water to reach business half mile away—but our folks pay their taxes and do jury duty, when they are often compelled to travel six or seven miles to get a start to the Court houea. But we must not insist that the County of Floyd mustjor should build us a bridge, so we can cross the creek, at al most any time. I say we must not insist because we have been here from one to fiftv years quietly contending with the inconvenience caused by every freshet big or lit tle. But “young America” is fast coming to the front and cannot be easily downed. Good-by. B. A GIRL’S MONEY. Suit That Recalls the Romance of Robert Rav Hamilton. New York, March 29. —Justice Bartlett, of the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, appointed George A. Mil'er, a New York lawyer, guar dian for Beatrice Ray, adopted daughter of Robert Ray Hamilton. The child is about 6 years old. It was she whom Eva Mann presented to Hamilton as his child. Under Hamilton’s will an annu ity of $1,200 is left to the child, to be derived from Hamilton's estate in Brooklyn. It was stated that this property is so encumbered as not to return an income of $1,200. It is desired by the friends to sei] theproperty and the pro. cwd*. NELLIE MEEKS Tells the Story of the Cruel Butch ery of her Family. Carrollton, Mo., March 29.—Ten year-old Nellie Meeks, the only surviver of the Meeks family of five, who were murdered on May 10, last year, is in town to testify *n the trial of William P. and Geo. Taylor, which began today. Nellie was permitted by her guardians to tell the story of the atrocious crime this afternoon in advance of the time for her appear ance on the stand. She is positive in her identifica tion of the Taylors, saying she re members Bill Taylor, he having employed her father as a bartender and she had seen him many times She tells how the Taylor brothers called for her father at Milan, Mo., on the night of the murder, and Meeks, his wife and three children were bundled into a wagon and started for the Taylor’s farm, 18 miles South. When within two miles of the Taylor farm George Taylor got out of the wagon and shortly afterward killed Meeks and his wife and then heat the two children, aged 5 and 2 years, respectively, on the head with rocks and kicked them to death. After committing the crime the Taylors are said to have buried the family in a straw stack. Nellie was left for dead, but she heard the Taylor brothers converse about the murder, she keeping quiet, fearing they would kill her. "When day broke she went to the farmhouse of a Mr. Peirce, where she told her story. A long hunt for the Taylors was inaugurated, but it was eight or nine months before they were captured in Arkansas. NOTED SPY. Dies Penniless in a St. Louis Hospital- Kansas City, Mo., March 28. James Keelan, anoted Confederate spy, died, penniless, in the City Hospital here today. His life was a thrilling romance. Keelan was the one spy relied upon for conveying impotant in formation from the Confederat Cabinet to different army com manders, and with his death he carried down many a s'ate secret. He was born in Caseyville, HL, in 1844. His first exploit occurred in 1862, when he was arrested for carrying mail be'ween Missouri secession ists quartered at Memphis, Tenn., and their relatives at home. For this he was tried by court martial at St. Louie and banished from the state. He continued to carry the mail, however, and was again arrested, court-martialed and sentenced to be shot. By the aid of friends he escaped, went to Richmond, and soon became the Confederates’ most trusted spy. When Richmond was threatened a nd it was necessary to take some decisive step, Keelan placed torpe does under certain Baltimore and Ohio trains transporting Federal troops. Many were killed, but Keelan escaped. Since the w’ar Keelan degenerated into a profes sional card-player. He at one time had considerable money, but died penniless. NOTICE.
