charged to investigate this question,
winter before, last, proved Kellogg
MAS not legally elected, and Senator
Carpenters very able speech put the
point beyond reasonable controversy.
When q false decision of the Presi-
dent brings the country to the brink
of civil war, he obviously does not
stand on the same clear and tenable
ground as if there were no valid le-
gal objections to his recognition of
Kellogg. Els persistence in an orig
inal mistake, even with the implied
sanction ofICongress, puts him in a
very different position from that
which he would hold if the unani-
nous judgment of the statesmen Of
his own party. supported him in rec
ognizing kellogg on the decision Of
Durell, the impeached Judge. When
strict law is. on one side, and fairness,
equity and justice on the other, the
President ought to pause and consid,
err. Gen. Grant can't safely ignore
the strong public sentiment Of the
best classes OF the Louisiana popula-
ton. They unanimously indorsed
and supported the overthrow of the
Kellogg usurpatien; peace, order and
universal acquiescence followed the

A PhiIndeInhIa Mrsterr.

The work of reconstructing the old
freight house on Market street, above
Eighth, in Philadelphia, has been going on
for some time past. In digging a cellar
under the same, the workman few days
since came across solid mass of masonry
at the depth Of about twelve feet. It was
round and compact, being shaped like a
monster cylinder. An opening being made,
it was found bounded upon all sides by
masonry, and having no visible outlet or
inlet. 1t was neat and clean, nicely white
washed, and in the stone work were strong
ly fastened several strong hooks. How
this piece of work came there, under the
earth, at depth SO great, who was its
architect, or for what purpose it was Or
iginally constructed, no one seems to un-
derstand. The walls were bright, the
whitewash extending to every part. How
the cylinder was entered to effect the
whitewashing is, of course, matter of
mystery.
The "boss" workman states that some
few years since, while digging in a neigh
boring lot he came across another piece of
masonry-probably an old well-in which
he found several human skulls. He also
came across series of steps running down
under the ground. On Saturday, in dig
ging, the workmen came across an old cor
ner stone, from which, upon being struck,
there rolled out silver half dollar of coin
age of 1903. This silver piece is as bright
as when it was first made.

A Remarkable Case.

The Boston Ad0ertiscr says On Satur-
day the ladies called upon one of the prin-
cipal saloons, the proprietor, Mr.. L. Simp-
son, having refused to see the gentleman,
and were received very politely. He was
asked if he thought it right to sell liquors,
and responded, "Yes as right as for grocers
to sell groceries"
One Of the ladies then read several passa-
ges from the Bible, remarking, +" Let us see
what the Lord says. On hearing the scrip
lures relating to the anger of the Lord
with drunkards and those who sell liquor
the proprietor turned pale, trembled violent
ly and clutched the counter convulsively for
support The many loungers in the saloon
were stupifed, and only offered assistance
when urged by the ladies. On being led
into another room he cried severaltimes,
go God! have mercy on my soul!" Imme-
diately his tongue began swelling, filling
his mouth to such an extent as to render it
impossible to articulate.
The ladies did all in their power to rem
der him comfortable, and physician was
sent for who on arriving pronounced it a
case of apoplexy, and in short time the
man died. The community was of course
stunned with the news, and the feeling for
Mr.. Simpson is intense. The ladies all
agreed that it was the work of the Lord,
and even some of the frequenters of the sa-
loon acquiesced in this decision.

that is that the clerk of the court is to re-
ceive one third more pay than the Judge
who presides.
Senator Rutan seems to have particular
spite against the New Constitution. Hav-
ing failed to get former proposition to
amend, favorably received, he now has
offered bill authorizing the Governor to
appoint seven commissioners to report
amendments to the next Legislature.
On Thursday when a motion was made
to confirm the Judicial appointments re-
ported last week, the Democrats refused to
vote, and failing to receive two third
vote, none Of the appointments were con-
firmed. This action of the Democrats was
the result of a caucus agreement, but what
the democracy has to gain by such an op-
position is hard to see. If the men nomi-
mated are thought by them to be unfit for
the position, an open manly vote against
them would be to their credit, but the
course adopted to say the least, is very
Objectionable.
AT the afternoon session, the Governor
sent in the same appointments, which now
lay over five days.
In the House on Friday, vote was TAX
en- on an action explanatory of the "Local
Option Law"
This bill declares it the true intent aud
meaning of the local option law that Ii
cense shall be granted to brewers and dis
tillers to manufacture and sell malt, brewed,
vinous and spurious liquors in the differ
ent counties of this commonwealth, agree
ably to the laws in existence at the time
said act and supplement were passed, any
thing in these acts to the contrary notwith
standing.
On motion to recommit the bill the
vote stood 40 yeas to 4S nays. A motion
was then carried to postpone further con-
sideration of the bill to Wednesday next
Had the motion to recommit been carried,
it would have been equivalent to a defeat
of the bill.
This explanatory bill is a snare and de-
lusion, and is an entering wedge to full
repeal of the Local Option Law. Voters
will do well to watch the votes of their
representatives when this bill comes up on
Wednesday. QUID NUNC.

Miscellaneous News Items.


gB In Algonquin, Illinois, six skeletons
were found in digging for the foundation of
a house. Twenty years ago then out-of- the
way place was the headquarters of a gang
fought among themselves. The surmise is
that the six skeletons are those of counter
feiters killed by their companions.
nB- On Friday week young man
named Ernest Petit was riding on horse
bac in the outskirts of Cairo, ILL.,, when
the horses fore legs suddenly sank into a
deep hole, causing him to turn complete
somersault and fall upon Petit, who re-
ceived serious, perhaps, fatal injuries.
The horses neck was broken by the fall.
GB- Rev. J. H. Paddock, pastor of NJ. E.
Church at Nanticoke, Pa, who was found
dead in his study on Monday week, shot
through the head with pistol ball. The
killing is believed to have been accidental,
as he had been short time before prac-
tising at target with Colts revolver
which after his death was found to be out
of order.
Washington, April 13,-The Chief JUS
tice delivered his first opinion on the bench
of the Supreme Court to-day in case from
Illinois, touching the right of the state to
tax nonresident national bank SHAREHOLDERS
at the residence of the bank. The members
of the bar who heard it, and his brethren
on the bench, speak of it in eulogistic
terms.
GB- A week or two ago, Thomas Roop,
Esq, Of Bratton township, on awakening
one night found his room illuminated near
ly as bright as day, and upon looking out
of the window, saw the fence and other COM
bustible material close TO his house ablaze.
fastening down, he extinglished the
flames but had it been otherwise than a
calm night, his dwelling would undoubted-
ly have been fired, if not destroyed. All
this was the result of depositing ashes in

eH- While in the East the past season
has been comparatively without snow, in
Oregon the snow storms have been fearful.
In Umatilla county the snow fell almost
continuously from the LIST of December
until March Q, with occasional thaws, which
drench the grass, and rendered the con-
dition Of cattle deplorable. OF one baud of
sheep, numbering 1900 head, 1900 died,
and nearly all the stock in that section is
dead or dying. Yet it is within short
distance of the far-famed banana belt.

The Temperance War.

The ladies of Mount Vernon, ILL.,, have
adopted new method of crusading, as will
be seen from thefollowing account: On Fri
day last, Mrs. s. S. Wilson, accompanied
by her sister-in-law, went to drug store
of e. NJ. Shepard and demanded to see the
prescription by which her husband is in the
habit of obtaining liquor at that establish
ment Shepard being absent, the clerk re-
fused the demand, but advised her to see
Doctor Potter, and have him revoke the
prescription. Mrs. Wilson regarding this as
attempt Of evasion, told the clerk that if
he did not give up the prescription she
would blow his brains out, at the same
time presenting pistol at his head. A
parley ensued, and finally Mrs. Wilson was
induced to call on DR.. Potter, where, with
her pistol drawn, she obtained a speedy
revocation of the prescription. The ladies
then proceeded to Shepard's saloon and DR..
Johnson's drug store, and with weapons
presented, gave them their orders, after
which they went home much to the relief
of all the doctors and saloon-keepers of the
town.

Terrible Tornado.

A tornado passed over and through
Nashville, west to east at 1890 o'clock, on
Tuesday morning, doing an immense
amount of damage. 1t struck the city at
the fair grounds, passing diagonally through
the city and out by the University and Mt,
Olivet Cemetery. Its width seems to have
been about quarter of mile. After pas
sing the fair grounds, it struck tho exposi-
tion building and Maxwell's house, SER
iously damaging the former. The front of
the Academy of Music, a grocery store,
wholesale liquor establishment and several
other smaller buildings near the corner of
Broad and Cherry streets, were crushed
The front windows of Hurley Bros, and
Hansen & Co.'s four story buildings, near
the same locality, were crushed BeadIe's
livery stable, containing an immense
amount of feed, wagons, horses, and cotton
was blown off its foundation into the back
water. Several horses and, it is thought,
one man were drowned.
Paris d Co.'s livery stable on College
street, in the rear of Beadle's was severely
damaged, besides several feed stores and
small negro dwellings. 1t passed from
there crushing in the front of the colored
Methodist Church, next to tho Medical
College, taking off portion of It's roof /;
from there to the magnificent residence Of
JEFF Parish, moving the whole roof out of
place. At this hour it is impossible to
enumerate the number of buildings dam
aged, or the loss, which exceeds hundred
thousand dollars. Many poor families are
rendered homeless. 1t is feared there has
been serious damage to property and loss
of life along its track. The telegraph lines
are prostrated all along its course, from
Union City to Nashville.

MIR. SPEER has introduced a bill require
ing the Secretary of the Interior and the
Attorney General to report annually to
congress detailed statement of the ex-
penditures of the contingent fund of their
respective departments. The bill provides
that these officials shall report annually to
congress detailed statement of the man
ner in which the contingent fund of their
respective departments has been expended,
with the name of every person paid, the
quantity and price of articles furnished, and
tho nature of the services rendered. This
step has been rendered necessary by the ex-
travagant expenditures in the contingent
fund, and by the scandals which have
grown out of them. Mr.. Speers bill if
passed will put an effective check to the
abuse.
