Burning out the Chinese.

SAN Francisco, May Sunday
evening the Chinese quarter of the town
of Antioch, near the mouth of the San
Joaquin river, was burned. no doubt by
the white citizens, instigated by the fact
that q number of white boys are
victims of their own indiscretion in Wis
itiRg lewd dens of that portion OF
the town. The Chinese had
been previously warned to leave
town on the first knowledge
OF the facts Saturday last, and most of
them obeyed the order. Those who re-
mained till the fire broke out fed unmo.
Tested. All the houses burned except
two, which were removed this morning.
No personal violence was offered the
Chinese, though the excitement was
great, and large crowd gathered to wit
ness the destruction of their hsbitatIons.

MARTINS PERRY.
The pound festival, in Commercial
Hall, Friday night, was grand success.
The attendance was large, plenty of fun,
&c. The donations were varied, but one
of the chief commodities was salt. Before
the auction began, some forty OF the
packages were condemned, because they
were supposed to be salt. Yet it was
found, on inspection, as the pack
ages sold were opened, q great
many were found to contain salt.
There was a bountiful supply Of ice
cream and cake. Every one seemed TO
enjoy the fun, especially our handsome
friend Frank Watson who was so for
tunate as to procure young pet elephant
Tor the small sum of seventy-five cents.
One feature of the occasion we didn't
like, and that was the boisterous mirth
INDUCED in by some of the young men
about fifteen or sixteen years of age.
The next time, boys, don't be 80 noisy.
THE torturing of a bslky horse by
placing fire under it and burning It's
legs aud tail till they were raw, and
beating it over the head. one day last
week, in the upper part of town, called
forth q good deal of righteous .ndigna-
ton, and caused some of the actors to
absent themselves for short time. Our
advice would be to those engaged IN the
cruel transaction, to examine our law be-
fore being guilty OF second otfense.
SHALL we have a Fourth of July cele-
bration in Martins Ferry this year or
not? is what we want to know. Who is
in favor Of beginning the preparations
early? Why not try Gov. Hartranft's
suggestion and have some one prepare
sketch Of the town and deliver it
on that occasion?

menting and o useless outlay Of money.
As presumptivr evidence in favor Of DR..
Pierce's Family Medicines, the proprie-
tor desires to say, that they are prepared
by new and scientific process by which
the virtues Of the crude plants and roots
are extracted without the use of parti-
Gle Of alcohol. Not particle Of this de-
stroyer Of our race enters into the compo-
sition of either his Golden Medical Dis.
covery or Fsvorite Prescription. This
consideration alone ought certainly to
rank, them high above the vile COM
pounds saturated with alcohol, Jamaica
rum, sour beer, or vinegar. which are
everywhere offered for sale. Again,
they are of uniform strength, and their
virtues can never be impaired by age.
They are also made from fresh herbs and
roots, gathered in their appropriate sea-
son, when they are flush with medical
properties. In support of these clsims,
the following testimony is offered:
NEWARK, N. J.
r Y. Pierce, NJ. d.:
DEAR SIR have sold Q great deal OF
your excellent remedies, and prefer 10
sell them before others, because they give
good satisfaction 10 those who use them.
l hear such remarks as "Sage's Remedy
cured me; it is e splendid
thing" or "Pierce's Discovery is just
what wanted; feel better than l ever
did" One of our celebrated singers uses
it for strengthening her voice and says
"there is nothing equals it," and SO l
might give scores OF remarks said about
your preparations A colored woman
was using your Discovery, and after tax
ing three bottles was completely cured.
She being in the store, said to me-, al
don't want no doctors round me so long
as 1 can get the Discovery; it beats all
your doctors" And so might 60 on.

SrocKs-The week opened with re.

s:rued as meaning railroad war,
and possibly lower passenger fares and

"a HUNDRED THO USAND HOMES"

In Scribner for February, Mr.. Charles
Barnard gives full account of the meth
ods of working of the Philadelphia
Building and Loan Associations" by
whose means, he says, one hundred
thousand homes have been built in that
city. Mr.. Barnard states as follows;
These associations are called building
and loan associations. The name is mis-
leading in one respect. They are not
building associations in any sense. They
are banks without vaults, moneyed con-
Germs without expensive buildings or
highly paid officers; and no stockhold-
ers, aside from depositors, stand ever
ready to devour the lions share of the
profits. There is no great fund Of money
to tempt the thieving president or his
brothers, the burglars. A two hundred
dollar safe will hold the company's as
sets and books, and a slender bank ac-
count represents the available capital.
