the world were sworn. None OF them asked
to be excused An able address was delivered
BY Chief Justice Dove. He said:
Ladies and Gentlemen Of the Grand Jury-1t

We do to-day, ladies summoned to serve as

ing the whole country. have never taken an
active part in these discussions, but have
long seen that woman was victim to the
vices, crimes and immoralities of man with no
power to protect and defend herself from these
evils. / have long felt that such powers OF pro-

has fallen to our lot here to act as the pioneer
in the movement, and to test the question. The

Paper on Hair Sutures-The Canal
Delays Aga in.

COLUMBIA, March 8.
The Medical Association of South Carolina
met to-day in annual session, the president,
DR.. A. N. Talley, of Columbia, in the chair.

The delegates from Columbia were Drs. Fair,
Trezevant and Taylor. There were also pre-
sent several resident physicians.
The meeting was held in the hall of Nicker-

boro'. The venerable DR.. Douglass, of Ches-
ter, sent letter regretting his detention at
home by feeble health, stating that he had
some papers which he had purposed to submit
to the meeting, His letter was referred to the
Committee on Publication.
The regular address OF President Talley was
among the earliest points of importance. 1t
was carefully prepared and strongly profess
sionai, dealing earnest and able blows at the
enemies Of the profession, such as innovations,
isms. and new tangled ologles generally. The
address was in eminent degree er-cathedra, in
both the borrowed and the literal sense.
DR.. John T. Darby, of the University, read o
full and able paper on "Hair Sutures," COM
pairing them with the thread, wire, and other
means Of sewing wounds, aptly illustrated
with drawings and photographs, aud accom-

of the profession, and Is not so fully attended
by members and delegates from abroad as was
hoped and desirable.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

The French journal La Monde says that
several ecclesiastics from North America are
among those ordered to leave Rome, for shay
ing taken part in recriminations and intrigues
unworthy of the character with which they
are invested, and of the respect that they,
beyond all others, owe to the Holy See."
Baron Nathaniel Rothschild, q distin.
guished member Of the famous family Of
wealthy bankers, died in Paris on February
10th. He was the third son Of Baron Nathan
Meyer Rothschd, and was born in 1872 and in
1912 married his cousin. Charlotte, daughter
of Baron James RothschIld Baron james,
who died not long ago, was famous for his
immense wealth, but Baron Nathaniel, it Is
stated, was man of greater mark and rarer
powers For many years he was blind, and
recently became totally paralyzed. Although
incapable of using his limbs, his intellect was
still unclouded and his brain active, so that his
advice continued to be received with high re-
gard and confidence by the firm.
This is the latest story from Paris: An
attachc of the Austrian Legation was so un-
fortunate as to break q fan. Its owner, most
charming and exceedingly pretty woman, the
Countess j., was furious, and spoke her mind
quite freely about it. The culprit manifested
becoming contrition, and offered to have the
ian mendcd, or supply its place. Increased
anger on the part Of the lady, who demanded
q piece of paper in which to wrap the frag-
ments. The youthful diplomatist opened his
portmonnac, and, without the least imperti-
nent intention in the world, took out thou

II have only this, madame" This capped the
climax, and the excitement of the lady reach
ed so high point that fashionable sculptor
who was present requested permission to ia ke
her as a model for the statue of all angry
Juno, which he had just commenced.

A Stormy Radical Caucus.
WASHINGTON, March 10.

WASHINGTON, March TO-
The Republican senators caucused an hour
over Georgia. Bingham's amendment was the
topic. vote was not reached. The caucus
seemed about equally divided, and unless there
is further action in caucus, the bill as it came
from the House, supported by the Democratic
senators, will certainly pass. Morton, Drake,
Thayer and Cameron spoke againstit. Trum-
bull, Edmunds, Ferry and others spoke in IA
7or of Bingham's amendment
In the Senate Sumner objected to the pres
sent consideration of the amendment to the
rules for the consideration OF treaties acquiring
territory, in open session.
A petition was presented from the citizens
Of Mississippi for the abolition of the franking
privilege.
The consideration of the Funding bill was
resumed.
Official documents from General Reynolds,
announcing the adoption of the amendments
by Texas, were laid before the Senate.
The Senate is in session tonight on the
Funding bill.
In the House, the airline road was post
poned to Tuesday.
The consideration of the bill reducing the
army officers was resumed, and, after various
amendments, passed.
LATER.-Phe caucus was so equally divided
that both parties are afraid to call vote on
Bingham's amendment to the Georgia BILL A
motion to adjourn tomorrow was defeated. A
motion to adjourn to this evening was defeat

A close poll of the Senate shows ten majori-
ty for Bingham's amendment, and unless ano-
tier Caucus is called, the adoption Of the bill
as it came from the House is regarded certain.
The feeling in caucus was quite bitter, and
should another caucus be called, it is likely the
friends Of Binghams amendment would re-
main away.

EUROPE.
The Irish Lnnd Bill.

LONDON, March 8.
In the House OF Commons, tonight, debate
on the Irish land bill continued. Mr.. Mcguire
attacked the measure, declaring it fell short OF
the exalted expectations of the Irish people.
Leases should be protected and made trans
ferable. Politically the Irish tenantry were
dangerous; personally they were models Of
virtue. He advocated the repeal Of the law of
distraint, and concluded by expressing the
wonld prove benefit to the country.
Mr.. G. W. Hunt rcjoiced at the good temper
shown In the discussion, and commented at
length on the provisions of the bill, approving
of some aud censuring others. He thought
the defects might be remedied In the COM
mittee.
The Attorney General made an elabora te
reply to these objections.
Mr.. O'Donoghue thought the task undertaken
was really the reorganization OF the social sys-
tenn of Ireland. There was one hopeful au-
gury in tho tact that his voice, hitherto un-
needed, was now heard.
Mr. Barry, in speech full OF humor and
force, showed that the tenure system of Eng
land favored the tenant, while that Of Ireland
favored the landlord. This inequality. needed
redress, an opportunity for which this bill af-
forded. Celts and Protestants fled to America,
bearing rancorous hatred toward England.
From them came the possibility Of war with
America. He then proceeded to defend the
bill in detail. After further debate the House
adjourned:

THE MURDER ON THE MARY ALICE
The RemaIas Of the Engineer, Benjamin
Kennedy, Found.

1t will be remembered by the readers OF
the APPEAL, that on the up trip OF the
steamer Mary Alice, when a few miles
below the city, on the morning OF Mon
day, April 18th, the engineer, Benjamin
Kennedy. was set pon by two negro
roustabouts. named Jerry Anderson and
NJ. Henderson, who murdered him, ana
threw his body into the river.
On arriving at the leyee, the Captain OF
the Alice had the two negroes arrested,
and AFTER an examination before squire
Kiernan they were committed to jail
without bail.
The murdered man Kennedy, who was
9 man of family and a citizen OF CAIRO,
Ill. was much esteemed by all who knew
him, and consequently a large reward
was offered for his body, and numerous
attempts we're made to recover 1t, without
success, however, until recently. AS Will
be seen by the following letter, 1t has at
last been found-at least the description
given by Mr.. Bridgeforth tallies exactly
with that of the deceRsedf FL

THE MEMPHIS PRESS AND LITTLE
ROCK RAILROAD.
Progress Of the Work.

The LIBERAL, of Madison, Arkansas, dis
courses ofthe Little Rock road and its
fortunes as follows: Again, another
howl goes up from the Memphis press,
relative to the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad. Does Memphis know hat il it
had not been for her iil-timed interfer-
ence, the road would have now been
nearly completely Every time its officers
have attempted to raise means for its
completion, just at that time the Mem
phis press have turned loose, with a TRADE
of abuse concerning the management OF
the road, and, more than once, caused
negotiations to cease. Every wildcat
scheme in Arkansas has been against the
completion of this line. Men have
sought, when the company was labOring
under difficulties, to seize its franchise
and appropriate the whole concern to
their private uses. The public press has
been opened TO abuse the public mind as
to the route being impracticable; but in
spite of all this malignity and knavery,
we still repose the utmost confidence in
the officials of the road. There ars now
at work bstween this place and
L,Anguille from l50 to 200 men.
There are two large steam pile
drivers at work In the Cache bottom.
The iron. chairs and spikes have been
purchased and paid for, and are NOW
aN ahNkLE shABAAA0LN - @NS" SA-N $500
Gent to complete the gap. The General
Superintendent, Colonel B. d. Williams,
has arranged for the shipment. The road
is now finished to the L'Anguille, and the
company are using every effort for its
early completion. La the meantime We
have the clerl0Ns spectacle OF Memphis
people laying injUnetions, aud the Mem
phis press Numbering anathemas at the
company. If Memphis does not want 9
railroad running to Arkansas, why don't
she say sO7 If, Is tbs press of Memphis
states, the route between Hopeield and
Madison is impraoticable, let them petit
ton the company, and they might tske
it up and ran IL 20 HeteH0, or help oat tH
running it TO Cdiro, or by way Of Jackson
port 10 81. Louis. The fact is that there
has been millions of money expended
upon the road, and certain outside par
ties would like to have q grab at 1t. There
is no serious physical obstruction in
building it. 1t is the "land sharks" not
the overflow, that prevents it.
