Ottumwa weekly courier. (Ottumwa, Wapello County, Iowa) 1872-1899, 1876-05-10

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The House
committee on Pacific Railroads to-day
authorized Representative Phillips to
report bill providing that it shall
not be lawful for the Union Pacific
Railroad company to charge any
special or greater rate for transpor-
tation of freight or passengers over
the Omaha bridge, than that charged
q like distance over other portions of
its road nor shall it charge other
companies more than IS for every
freight or passenger car and contents
transported over said bridge, and in
case of the transportation of coal.
salt, grain or lumber, not more than
$3.50 per car shall be charged 10 other
companies.
In the view of the majority of the
committee the enactment. of this or
some similar measure is required to
give effect to the recent decisions of
the Supreme Court, that the Omaha
bridge should be considered and OPP
Grated as part of the continuous line
of the Union Pacific Road.
The committee agreed that amend
ments may be offered to this bill by
the several members when it is re-
ported to the House for action. The
committee also took up Culberson's
bill for the extension of time for the
completion of the Texas Il Pacific
Railroad.
Morton offered substitute provi-
ding that fifty miles of road per an
mum shall be constructed westward
and twenty miles a year eastward
from the respective tcrmini.

HAPPY Sixth District. Its conven-
ton for the nomination of Repub-
lican candidate for Congress will be,
the Ottumwa COURIER says, only pro
.toymp. No doubt of a reelection, no
opposing candidates for the nomina-
ton, and Judge Sampson quite as
happy as are his constituents. Dar-
export Gazette.
Our cotemporary in the above is SO
careless or thoughtless as TO place us
before its readers as assumptiously
rsaking unto ourselves the disposition
of Congressional matters in this Dis
strict. Our remarks upon the subjec t
30 whish the Gazette alludes, We're in
no sense Of an arrogant character. We
alluded to the fact that no discussion
was developed in regard to who
should be our next Congressman, lit
terally nothing was being said about
it, and that, therefore, we supposed,
we said, that Judge Sampson would
be re-nominated without opposition.
We represent but two Republicans of
the Sixth District, and by no means
presume to speak absolutely or au-
th0ritatively as to the action of this
District in this matter. We gave
simply our judgment upon what the
appearances indicated.

Tragic scene. I'm m.y.,.

KINGSTON, April 24.-In Hayti the
people in the South favor Gen. Sala-
mon for President; in the North they
re for Gen Canal, who, however,
wants to be elected in legal way.
Dominique during his flight from
Port au Prince, and while being con-
Quoted to the wharf by the Spanish
consul, received severe bayonct
wound in his thigh.
As Rameau, the new President, was
escorted by the French consul the son
of Monplasier Pierre stepped up to
him and said: "You shall not escape
for shall avenge the blood of my
father whom you massacred OH the
third of May 1871, 'and shot him dead
on the spot. His body was thrown
aside and left for 36 hours.
Gen. Larquet, in command of Port
au Prince, was shot as traitor.
The wife ofthe Haytian Admiral,
Madame de Jale, with Madame Alex
is Nord are i'm chains in prison at
Cape Hayti.
Madame Rameau escaped to ia
maica.
One hundred and eighty thousand
dollars were secured from Domiquc
while shipping it Oh board Spanish
schooner.
A proclamation says he robbed the
Haytian treasury of S9,OOO,6OO in
three years.

MUNICIPAL elections i'm Indiana
came off on the I'd of May, and the
result ss strong premonition of how
the laRS lays between the two great
parties iH that State. Indiana has
been for many years doubtful State,
and these 8nunicipal elections this
Spring cast q significant shadow be-
fore of what is coming next autumn.
The Republicans carried Indianapo-
sais, Lafayette, Ft. Wayne, South Bend,
Terre Haute, Iaporte, Richmond,
Greensburg, Greencastle, and, indeed,
all the prominent cities but some half
dozen.
The Republican majority was some
1900 i'm indianapolis. II seems quite
evident to our mind that Indiana nay
be set down to give her electoral vote
to the Republican candidate for Pres
idcnt next November, beyond at least
a reasonable doubt, as the prepara-
, ton for the contest now stands. The
y, Democratic nomination for Governor
has engendered bad feeling in that
party, and there is and will be a won-
/ derful lack in enthusiasm in its ranks
+; in the State election.

SAD ross,.rN1 CASE.
r~ur D~ve eat WalA Parsley DDeaah
~ tho Y0ungoss.



A sad case of poisoning and death
occurred in this city to-day, which
should prove terrible warning TO
children. Four boys, aged respect
lively s, Z, 9, and IL years-sons of
Mr.. Robert Newton, an auctioncer,
lately from Chicago, living in North
Muscatine, opposite Ninth street Mis-
sion School-hollse-were playing on
the grounds adjoining their home,
when they dug up q plant which they
supposed was genuine parsley, and
all ate more or less of it. Sad to say
the vegetable proved to be wild or
fools parsley, also known as hemlock
of poisonous properties. Soon after
the eating the youngest boy was taken
dangerously i'll, and the oldest was
sent in haste for medical aid, which
was found in the person of DR.. Gray.
When on his return home the oldest
boy was taken with spasms near Bit
zer's corner and had to be conveyed
the rest of the way. When DR.. Gray
reached the house they found no ton
ly the youngest but the second and
third boys suffering from the effects
of the plant. Everything possible
was done for the sufferers, but 1t was
evident that the little fellow, who
was most seriously affected, conld not
recover, and he breathed his last soon
after the arrival of the physicians.
The other boys, thanks to the
prompt and efficient remedies admin
istered, soon showed encouraging
signs of Improvement, and when last
heard from a o'clock) were regarded
a. out of danger.
This is the most distressing case Of
The kind it has yet been our sad duty
TO record, and it should have the eff
feet of making parents and children
doubly cautions as to handling and
lasting plants of uncertain character
growing in gardens and elsewhere.

he is ready and willing to yield the
point for which he contended, viz =
the sacredness Of his private books,
when there was literally nothing in
them of public nature or which re-
lated to officers of the Government.
Before his communication was re-
ceived in the House, making s1oh ap
offer, the chairman of the cs,s9,fittee
had again subpGnaed him threaten
ing to again imprison him if he still
refused the inspection Of his books,
and yet when this offer was made by
him, the Democracy of the House spat
upon it by laying it upon the table.

Some years ago Ipicked up several
children in Chicago, and thought l
would clothe them and feed them ;
and 1 took special interest in those
bows to see what could make of
them. I don't think it was thirty
days before the clothes had all gone
to whisky, and the fathers had drank
it all up. One day l met one of the
little boys for whom / bought pair
of boots only the day before. There
was a snow storm coming up, and he
was barefooted. ".Mike," says /,
shows this /? Where are your shoes p
"Father and mother took them away
said he. There is a good deal that
we think is charity that is really do
ing great deal of mischief: and the
people must not think because we
don't give them money to aid them
in their poverty that we don't love
them, for the money would 60 into
their pockets to get whisky with. 1t
is no sign that we are all hypocrites
and iDsincere in our love that we
don't give them money. / believe if
the prodigal son could have got oil
the money he wanted in that foreign
country he would never have come
home, and it was good thing for
him that he did get hard up and had
to live on the husks that the swine
ate. And it is o good thing that peo-
pie should suffer. If they get good
living without work, they will never
work. We can never make anything
of them. God has decreed that man
shall earn his bread by the sweat of
his brow, and not live on other peo-
pie.
