Mr.. Ryder offered an amendment, in
cooperating the Memphis and 81. Louis
4 Transportation Company. Adopted.
Mr.. Hamilton offered an amendment
to the amendment, providing that said
company shall at all times carry freigbts
4 for the citizens of Memphis at the same
price as those for the railroad.
He stated that it had been the practice
of railroads leading to Mem phis and OF
I the packet line between Memphis and
st. Louis, to discriminate against those
who built them up. Ereights from st.
Louis and Lo1isville had often aecumu-
lated faster than it could be transported
by the packet line complained Of, and 10
such cases there had baen discrimination
against the merchants of Memphis and
in the favor of railroads, in the ship
ment Of freight. He had frequently
known meu who desired 10 buy goods in
Memphis, but who said that in order to
get their goods over the road, they were
compelled TO buy in st. Louis or CInein-

Of the tax payers Of Memphis and Ten

Mr.. Speaker Richards called Mr..
Roach to the Chair, and addressed the
House 10 opposition 70 the amendment.
He stated that the Memphis and st.
Louis Packet Company had become a
monoply, and the amendment already
adopted granted charter to new cOm-
pauy which it was proposed to organize
to bring about competition and destroy
the monopoly. The charter asked for
was perfecEly well guarded, and could be
objected 20 by no one. Toe restriction

two small groves on the eastern slope of
Lebanon, overlooking the Buka'a above
Ell Medeuk and two other large groves,
containing many thousand trees, one above
El Baruk and another near Ma'asiv,
where the trees are very large and equal
to any others; all are being destroyed for
6rewood. Still another grove has been
discovered near Duma, on the western
slope of Lebanon, near the one discovered
by Mr.. Tristram himself. This gives ten
distinct localities in the Lebanon to the

A Revolving Case of Cruelty.

The following details which have Just
come to light exhibit in every feature a
relied system OF exquisite torture that re-
calls the ages of pagan persecution. On
Prince street, New York, there is an asy-
iun for orphans aud destitute children,
under the care of the Sisters of Charity,
where girls are maintained from child
hood till they are able to fill situation
iu life, and "do for themselves" One
little girl named Mary Ann Farrell, thir-
teen years old, was taken from this house
on the 9th OF day last by Mr. Wander
bilt, residing in PleasantVille, about six
miles from Hackensack, to perform gene
raj housowork Some months after the
new home began to prove uncomfortable
for the girl, and she received very bad
treatment, which she could not disclose
to any one, being locked up if she desired
to 20 out. The poor creature was at times
stripped naked, tied up by the wrists,
and in this manner she states positively

bilt iii her tender flesh was completely

wards were more acute. Mrs. Vauder-
bilt, who had been u calm spectator of the
bloody process, applied, according to the
girls statement, what she understood to
be a pickle dipped in salt to the bleed
ing wounds, which inflicted the most n-
tense agony. Last Wednesday the girl
expected to be placed as usual on the rack,
and watching an opportunity provldon-
TALLY vouchsafed to her, she made her es-
cape and took refuge for the night under
the shade Of some trees, where she
was taken up in a PROSTATE and falnhng
condition. She then related the horrible
details of the crueties inflicted on her,
which so aroused tho Indignation OF the
bearers that a resolution was formed to
proceed to Vanderbilt's house and lynch
him forthwith, "unshrived and unshroud-
ed, but the execution was frustrated by
the Roman Catholic pastor Of uacken
sack, who threatened to denounce the in
dividuals connected with it. The girls
statement is borne out to the letter by the
revolving appearance she presented. Her
head is covered with small Jumps, her
teeth displaced, the white of her eyes
hardly dscernible, the face swollen and
deformed, the lips split, and the remainder
of her body one mass of scars. Her un.

for long time, was thoroughly saturated

The Cedars Of Lebanon.

A recent number of the Gardner's

in considerable numbers. The Mormon

he respectfully said to them that, with

AN OLD SETTLER. Chaunoey
LOOMS, of Bloomfield, picked up day
or two since, on his farm, terrapin, ON
which his father, Jacob LOOMS, had
carved his name and date in the year
1893. Other persons had also made
their marks on tho creature at different
times-the initials "H. c., Harry Cor
nish) 1917" being very plain. This
terrapin is very likely older than the date
of Cotton Mather's time and the Salem
witch craft of nearly two centuries ago.
The dates on its under shell extend
across the present breadth Of the she'll,

Shocking Murder.

The Wheeling LnteAyencer gives the
following details of horrible murder, aud
swift and terrible retribution, reported to
have taken place at Salineville, Ohio, on

An old man who resides at Salineville,
on the G. & P. R. R., in Columbiana Co.,
Ohio, recently received some 81 500 in
money! fact that became known 10 the
neighborhood. On Wednesday last he
went in company with a sou to New Lis
bon, the county town, some fifteen miles
distant, to deposit this money in bank,
leaving wife and daughter at home
They arrived too late to get into the bank,
and went to hotel to stay over night.
Early in the night the young man awoke
in terror and told his father that his
mother had her throat cut. The son pre-
vailed on the father to return homo I'M

to the front and the other to the rear door,
when just as they were about to enter,
two persons attempted to escape, one
from each door, and were shot down al
most simultaneously, by the father and
son. A third person still in the house,
up stairs, leaped out of one Of the upper
windows, and was also shot almost as soon
as he touched the ground. On entering
the house aud proceeding to another room,
the father and son were still more horri-
fed to find the daughter lying also stark
