The Spanish Minister states that
the misunderstanding referred to
in Mr.. Fish's letter to Sickles of
Oct. 90, published recently, has
been removed, and the relations
between the two governments are
quite friendly. The system of
gradual emancipation adopted by
Spain has already released $4,000
slaves in Cuba, and that law is be-
ing faithfully carried out. The re-
ply Of the Spanish Government to
Secretary Fish's note was court
hous, and gave assurance that
friendly relations shall not be in
terrupted. The party now in
power in Spain believes itself strong
enough to pursue the policy of
emancipation, and will make efforts
to that end. One result Of our
remonstrance has been an order
restoring some estates seized by
Spanish authority in Cuba. The
correspondence has been quite Wig
orous since November LIST, mainly
by telegraph.

OF men are at work on all sections.
One train left Holland this morn
ing for Grand Junction, thirty miles
south, but has not yet got through.
One work train is between this
place and Boston Harbor, clearing
the track. There are bad drifts
where the mail train was stuck
three weeks ago tonight. Near
Hagar two engines got off the
track, but are on again without loss
Of life or property. II is expected
that the Chicago, Pentwater &
Grand Rapids express will run
Sunday night, and all passenger
trains by Monday next. There is
now about twenty miles to clear
out before trains can run. The
highways in all parts of the coun-
try are blockaded. Much suffering
has been caused by the storm, but

Exciting scene I'm Church,

A New York paper of recent
date, says: The Rev. Mr.. Math-
ews, pastor Of the Free Methodist
Church at Third avenue and Twen-
ty-frst street, Brooklyn, in his SER
mon last Sunday evening, described
the mystic brotherhood of the
square and compass as shay, wood,
and stubble." Some of the con-
gregation responded "Amen,"
while others bitched uneasily in
their seats. Encouraged by the
stir he had created, the pastor
Numbered another anathema
against Masonry. At this juncture
gentleman in the body of the
house arose, and, addressing the
pastor, said: "Sir, that is false"
Several ladies and two gentlemen,
who seemed to be in sympathy with
the bold challenger, arose, and fol-
lowed him, walking out of the
church. Instantly there was stir
all over the congregation. The
chorister was awakened from sleep
by the shutting, and, thinking the
meeting had been dismissed, was
about to strike up the doxology.-
Others who had been drowsy, be-
gan pulling on their overshoes pre-
paratory to retiring. In the midst
OF this disorder the pastor raised
his voice and said exuitantly:
MY dear bretbcren and sist, RS,
! have driven the devils from the
church, and / am glad Of it,

The Salaries Of Supreme
Court Judges.

The Senate has concurred in the
House amendment to the Senate
bill fixing the salaries of Judges OF
the Supreme Court. The salaries
are now fixed at 81 900 each. There
is no doubt but that the bill will be
approved by the Governor and will
speedily become a law. While we
do not consider that the sum of S.
600. as originally fixed in the SEN
80 h;n, 1893 at all TOO high, yet 81
600 is a considerable improvement
on the $4,000 which the judges
now receive, and the change is one
which will no doubt be acceptable
TO the judges and edorsed by the
people. The prompt action of the
Legislature is deserving Of COM
mendation; now let it frame an
amendment for submission to the
people at the April election, PRO-
riding for an increase in the salar-
les of circuit judges, and let it be
unembarrassed by any other
amendment. We have no doubt
that such an amendment would be
ratified by the people by a large
majority, in which case the whole
question of judicial salaries would
be satisfactorily settled. - Free

Terrible Earthquake.

A dispatch from Bombay says q
report has reached that city that a
terrible earthquake has occurred at
Soonghur, town of India, in de-
tached district of the Barada do
minions, la miles north of Bonn

said to have been killed in the town
alone. Nothing has been heard
from the surrounding country, but
it is feared that there is much adj

The Situation.

We have, from time to time, en-
deavored to keep our readers post
cd in regard to the smallpox, and
have stated matters as nearly as
they actually stood as it was posi-
BILE from the information we receiv-
cd from different sources.
We hardly need say that the ex-
istance Of this terrible scourge in
our midst has caused business of all
kinds, except that for the doctors,
to be unusually quiet, and there has
been a gloom o'erspreading the
whole community during the entire
winter. But for the past few days
our streets have assumed a more
lively appearance, and the pros
poets for the future would seem to
look a little brighter. Yet we do
not feel that we can look for the
determination of the disease much
before the ap roach of warmer
weather, although with the meas
ures now in force, we believe that
there is but little chance for an in
crease in the number afflicted.
The citizens are, in many instan-
ces, actually depriving themselves
Of some Of the necessaries of life,
rather than run the risks which |
they think they would, by going
after or ordering them brought to
their residences.
From the Board Of Health we
learn that the number of cases re-
ported in the city during the past
two weeks, the average has been
about one a day, which is surely
quite n decrease in the number re-
ported prior to that time. But in
the past week thirteen cased have :
been brought from the woods and ;
neighboring settlements, thus SWELL
ing the number of patients in the
hospitals. The number at present
n the hospitals is about fifty, many
If whom have nearly recovered. 7

In the battle Of companies of the
Fifth Cavalry with the Apaches,
Dec. Goth near Salt River not a
warrior escaped. All the band
were killed and twenty-five women
and children captured.
The New Mexico freight train
for Camp Bell was attacked by
Apaches and the wagon master
killed, at Pinos Altos. The Indians
killed two white men. Two In
dams were afterwards seen on the
reservation wearing the clothes of
the murdered men.

Discarding Ii.

The Free Press has often been
importuned to say word against
the system of business cards on
wrapping paper, but has judged it
best to keep silent and let the MGR
chants test the matter to their sat
isfaction. Some of them having
lately thrown printed wrapping pa
per aside, it is to be hoped that
every other dealer in Detroit and
Michigan will follow the example.
In the first place, the advertise
ment is worthless; no one reads it,
and just so much money has been
thrown away. In the next, every
body objects to carrying around a
bundle lashed with some mans card
of business. 1t subjects him to
criticism, and, if he calls into any
other store, sometimes produces
unpleasant feelings. A case in
point occurred the other day. A
farmer paid $40 for coat at cloth
ing house on Woodward avenue,
and was well satisfied with his bar
gain. Going up jefferson avenue,
the business card caught the eye
of another dealer, and he got the
man into his store, exemined the
coat, and then announced that he
sold just such coats for so. He
only intended to hurt his adversary,
and in this he succeeded. There is
not merchant in the State who
can show that he ever secured one
single customer by advertising on
his wrapping paper. Were he to
expend that much money in an
advertisement in paper, daily or
weekly, he could not fail to hear {
rom it in more ways than one Z
'ut, leaving out advertising alto r
ether, it is believed that every @
merchant stands ready to admit i
hat printed wrapping paper has
ONE to be a nuisance which must
e abolished without further delay.

From the New Haven Palladium, Jan. 3.
Since the conviction of Lydia
Sherman, last April, of poisoning
Horatio Sherman, of Derby, she
has lain in the Jail, in this city, az
the court gave her counsel leave to
argue before the supreme court for
new trial. 1t will be remember
ed that her counsel, Mr.. Watous,
decided at the last moment not to
do so, and she will be brought be-
fore the superior court and
receive her sentence, which will be
state prison for life. Since she has
been at the Jail, Mr.. Webster, while
not relaxing in discipline, has ex-
tended to her every courtesy and
privilege in his power. For these
favors Mrs. Sherman has been very
grateful, and has returned them by
making to Mr.. Webster a full con-
fession OF her deeds and complete
history of her life. This she gave
unsolicited. About week ago
she told Mr.. Webster that she
would like TO make a confession to
him, and since that time from day
to day, has done so, and it is now
completed. The whole story. when
published, will be one Of the most
startling and thrilling tales of crime
ever written. Her confession, it is
understood, goes beyond acknowl-
edging the poisoning of Mr.. Sher-
man, and extends far back in her
history. The details of her deeds,
her reasons and the number of her
victims, she has told with perfect
frankness. An impression has gone
abroad that she has implicated 9th
ers, but this, we understand, is not
true. The confession is not to be
published until after her sentence
next week. After Mrs. Sherman
had made this confession, she re-
marked that a burden of years
one which had weighed upon her
days and which sleep could not
ease-has been taken from her
mind, and that she was now a hap
pier woman than she had ever been.
In her sleep the tortures of remorse
had narrowed her in a manner that
she could never describe. For sew
eral days she has been visited by
several persons for the purpose of
giving religious advice and conso-
lation, and yesterday spent the af- |
ternoon in conversation with three
persons upon religious subjects
She says that she is perfectly will
ling to receive her sentence and die |
in the prison, but hopes that even
there she can find means of doing
some good. The public, both in
this State andin New Jersey, where
ier former husband and children
i've, will look for the published
acts with intense interest.

sweet and holy calm prevailed the
building, and the chorister went to
sleep again. The gentleman who
interrupted the pastor, and insisted
that his language was conspiciously
inexact, is the Rev. Mr.. Willbridge,
a Baptist clergyman, of Chicopee,
Mass, who was tarrying with
friends in Brooklyn.

A mysterious affair occurred al
Hickory Bush, N. Y, short time
since. A little boy named William
Donavan, went into the house OF
Mrs. Perry and was soon after
found there dead, with his skull
crushed. The coroner had been
investigating, but no light could be
obtained. Mrs. Perry had been in
commissions since the occurrence.
She was on the best of terms with
Donavan's family, and no one in the
neighborhood, including the boys
friends, believed her guilty of muir
dering the boy. Later reports
show that the boy, with three 9TH
ers, went into the house of Mrs.
Perry, when Richard Perry took
down and began playing with an
old musket, not knowing it was
loaded, and the gun was discharg-
ed. The charge lodged in the boys
skull, killing him instantly.
