AS practical result of some of the
attempted legislation at Richmond last
winter, the Stanton indicator gives
the following. which needs no Gem
ment: "a few days since gentleman
actively engaged in the organization of
new financial enterprise here went to
Baltimore in company with another
gentleman prominent in financial circles
in Staunton to get some of the stock
taken. They found no disposition to
invest in Virginia, and could not get
more than $500 of stock taken. They
then went to a.wealthy Virginian in
Baltimore, thinking they could surely
count on him. He excused himself,
saying that when man of Mr.. Fulk-
erson's position succeeds in getting
snch plan as his was through the
popular branch of the Virginia Legis
lature, the sense of moral obligation to
meet Indebtedness must be too low in
the State to make an Investment there
safe.

Judge Blatchford, in the United
States Circuit Court, at New York,
rendered his decision in the case of
Charles A. Dana, editor of the New
York Sun, arrested upon attachment
from the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia for refusing to appear be :
fore the grand jury of the District as a
witness. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Dana refused mainly because he
suspected that the attempt to get him
to Washington as witness was merely.
trap to involve him in prosecution
tor libel. Judge Blatchford discharged
him from custody. Thus it is settled
rightly that editors cannot be dragged
to Washington on different pretcxts,
from distant parts of the country, and
entrapped ON prosecution for libel.

Another raid of striking miners was
made near Hazelton, Pa, Thursday
night, the intended victims being James
Morrison, Jasper Ely and F. Lander
brun, the last two of whom had taken
refuge in the house of Morrison. A
brisk fight ensued, in which one
miner was killed and Landerburn was
badly beaten. Landerburn had for-
merly been a strong friend of the
miners and furnished them with mus
kets, but latterly becoming Disguised
with their excuses abandoned their
cause.

1t is said by some Of the Western
papers, that the late cold weather which
has destroyed millions of dollars worth
of fruit, grains and vegetables, has not
been without Its good effects. They
claim that it has destroyed myrlads of
grassShoppers, potato bugs DC. We
are not sufficiently acquainted with
these insects to determine whether
such has been the case. We do know,
however, that frequently in very cold
weather in winter, large numbers OF
grass hoppers appear and seem to live
in spite OF freezing temperature.

DEATH OF JOHN HARPER.

The telegraph has already announced
the death in New York, on Thursday,
of Mr.. John Harper, senior member of
the great publishing firm of that city.
He was the second of four brothers, the
sons Of farmer of Newtown, Long Is
land. At the age of fourteen, John and
his elder brother James were eppren-
ticed to different printers in New Y rk.
When their apprenticeship was conclu
ded they established themselves in bus
mess under the finn name of J. g. J.
Harper, at first printing only for book
sellers, but afterward they began to pub
fish for themselves Wesley and Fetch
er were apprenticed to the elder broth
ers, and as they became of age they
were admitted as partners. In 1925 the
style of the firm was changed to Har
per & Brothers. In 1858 their estab-
lishment occupied nine contiguous bull
dings in Cliff and Pearl streets, filled
with costly machinery and books On
December 10 of that year the whole
was burned to the ground. The loss
reached $l,O0O,000; only one fourth in
sured. The plans for new building
at 33l Pearl street were completed be-
fore the ruins of their old establishment
had been cleared away. The new edi-
flee was made entirely freproof, and is
probably the finest publishing establish
ment in the world. One thousand men
women and children are employed.
John Harper had remarkable fond
ness for horses. Driving was his relax
alton from business cares during his ac>
tive business life, and after his retire
ment, up to within year, he drove dali
ly, and often twice day. He delight
ed in fast trotters, and was ever ready
for brush over the road. His health
began to fail rapidly within year, and
his CHEEKY challenges to trial Of speed
were no longer heard along his favorite
drives He suffered a stroke Of paral~
ysis that confined him to his house
Since that time he gradually failed in
strength. His condition suddenly grew
worse on Thursday, and althottgh str.
rounded by the best physicians, it was
seen that age was even more a,,intracta
BILE enemy than disease He passed
away quietly at $50 PM, conscious to
the last
James Harper died in 1869 from in
juries received by being thrown from a
carriage. and Wesley, the third brother
died soon afterwards The only SCR
vivor of the four brothers is Wesley
Harper.

THE LATEST.


New ORLEANS, April 21.-Impeach-
ment resolution against Auditor Clinton
passed the House by 70 yeas to 81
nays. The Senate is in executive
session.
Governor Kellogg to day sent a
special message to both houses of the
General Assembly, calling attention to
the fact that the time for which the
Assembly was convened is rapidly
drawing to a close, and earnestly urg-
ing the passage of bill for the relief
of the city Of New Orleans, and
recommending an amendment to the
funding law. His message closes as
follows: Permit me to say that it is
expected of you under existing circum-
stances, that the great interests of the
State and city shall receive the pre-
ference in your proceedings over the
advancement of party ends and that
our financial condition renders it very
undesirable that the term ofthis session
