 At the sale of the personal effects of Henry Clark, lately deceased, in Leonardtown, St. Mary's county, Md, the other day, roll of carpeting was about being offered when some of the bidders suggested that it be unrolled for inspection. This was done, and in the folds was discovered package con- taining $1, 40 in United States Treas ury notes. The money was handed over to MT. Westcott, the son-in-law of the deceased, who was conducting the sale. His delight can well be imagined, as we'll as the chagrin of the numerous ones who had attended the sale express ly to buy carpeting.
 For some weeks back, the New York
 World declares, regular brokerage business has sprung up in New York and other Northern cities for the sale of sensations and scandals. Black-mailers and adventurers derive @ rich profit from this business. They pry into family secrets and dig up old and for gotten family skeletons, write the mat ter up in sensational style and then of- fer their manuscripts for sale to the pa- pers, unless the actors who figure in them offer to buy these stories up. It is impossible for an outsider to know the immeEsity of this business, and how much the decent newspapers of the country have to resist and fight against in opposing this system. They think, therefore, that those who refuse the ad- Vances of these sensationalists deserve

A STRATEGIC SECRETARY.

G.. w. McCrary, Secretary of War,
ID anxious to secure a permanent posi-
ton as Judge of the United States Cir
cult Court, to succeed Judge Dillon,
who resigns to accept a more lucrative
position as attorney for the Union Pa
cific Railroad Company. McCrary,
prior to the announcement Of Judge
Dillon's resignation, was the most. rad
zeal of the stalwarts. Since then, he
has experienced change of sentiment,
and is row the most conservative men,
her of the Cabinet, not excepting E" Err
ring Brother" Key. His desire to get
a permanent position as Judge has
overcome his patriotism, so he plays
into the hands of Southern Senators,
hoping thereby to secure their friend
ahip and their votes when his nominal
ton for the Office his heart yearns for
IL again sent to the Senate. He is re-
sponsible for the appointment of Col.
Roberts, of the Confederate Army, to
codify the laws, rules and regulations
OF the United States Army, and within
the present month has appointed two
other ex-Confederates upon the rolls of
the War Department in lucrative and
responsible positions. The course of
McCrary ought to be sufficient to sat
idy any reasonable person of the hy-
pocrisy of leading politicians. Six
weeks ago he was the most ultra-radical
III the country, and is credited with
having written Hayes veto message on
the bill prohibiting military interior
eace with elections. The moment Judge
Dillon rendered his resignation, Nc
Gary asked to be appointed to fill the
vacancy, and as he cannot get the place
without the consent of the Senate. he
suddenly becomes. conservative, urges
the President to sign the army bill,
which in substance is the same as that
vetoed, and appoints ex-Confederate

A GOVERNMENT GEOLOGICAL EXPE.
DITION.

The Western Geological and Topo-
graphical Surveying party, under the
direction of Clarence King, has been
fully organized, and will leave the East
at an early day for the field. A part
OF the corps will go to Leadville, Colo
RADIO, while Professor Kings personal
attention will be devoted mainly to the
Colnstock. The expedition has been
organized under the auspices of the
Government for the purpose of making
AS thorough an examination as possible
OF the mineral lands of the Western
States and Territories, and determining
as far as practicable the nature, origin,
geology, location and distribution of
the various classes of ores.
Clarence King is probably as capable
person as could be selected for chief
of the surveying party. Some twelve
years ago he was in the field as head of
Government party, known as the For
tieth Parallel Exploring and Surveying
Expedition, at which time he paid con-
siderable attention to the Comstock.
The work, however, though paid for by
the people, was of very little benefit to
tue public, owing to the fact that only
limited number of copies of the report
OF the expedition were printed, and
these were distributed among favorites.
This was attributed to the egotism of
Professor King, who imagined that the
scarcity of the report would increase it's
merit, and that his name would go down
to posterity associated with a scientific
book which could not be had for love
or money. Professor King was then a
young man, and as such, somewhat ex-
cusable for such vanity, and it may be
reasonably hoped that twelve years
more experience with the world has
dissipated those foolish ideas. 1t is the
men who explore the mineral regions of
the West that should have the benefit
OF these scientific expeditions sent out
by the Government, but it is safe to
assert that not twenty persons in the
whole State of Nevada, and not one
prospector or miner who was endeavor-
ing to develop mines ON his own ac-
count, ever received a copy of the Geo
logical Report of the Fortieth Parallel
Surveying Expedition, by Professor
clarence King, although not a few OF
those prospectors and miners in this
county extended many courtesies, and
gave many valuable mineral and geo.
logical specimens to members of the
expedition.

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE
STRIKES C0LLlNSvillE, ILLINOIS.
Great Destruction Of Properb-But One
Life lost-Seyeral Persons Badly
Injured-Queer Freaks Of
the Wind.

ST. LOUIS. April IA Globe-Demo-
crat special from Coilinsville. ILL.,, about
eleven miles from here, says a terrible
cyclone from the northwest struck the
town at quarter to 8 o'clock this after
noon and taking zig-sag course, with
general direction almost due east, tore
through the place, demolishing ten
buildings and running about thirty 9TH
ers and damaging more or less some
seventy-fve residences and business
houses. A slight rain preceded the
storm and nearly everybody was
in doors when the cyclone
struck. Notwithstanding, ten houses
were levelled with the ground, only
one person was killed. A little girl
named AMMO Reynolds and two others,
were badly injured. The storm lasted
but two or three minutes, but was
frightiully severe. After it passed, the
people rushed out Of their houses in all
directions, mothers looking for their
children and husbands, fathers or broth
ers, who were away from home,
Fastening to their houses to see
who was killed or hurt. The
greatest excitement and confusion
prevailed for some time, but on the ap-
pearance OF Mayor Wadsworth and sew
eral other prominent citizens on the
streets quietness began to prevail, and
ready hands and strong arms went TO
work to search the ruins for those who
might have been caught by the falling
houses. From double tenement house
occupied by John Reynolds and Pat
DoonOr, six year old boy OF
the latter was taken out in an uncon-
scious condition and with a broken
leg. lie was soon revived and placed
in charge of physician. Little Annie
Reynolds was also taken from this
mouse dead and crushed almost out Of
resemblance TO human being. Mrs.
Jacobs, aged 20, and two children Of
Thomas Nelson, aged twelve and nine
years, are quite badly injured, but be-
yond these no one is now known 10
have been hurt.
Fences, plank sidewalks, trees, out
houses and stables were blown 10 pieces
or carried away, end gardens destroyed.
The cyclone, AZ usual, was rotary in its
movement, and struck and bounded
from the earth three times during its
passage through the town. Its width
was from sixty to eighty feet One OF
the evidences OF its force was the pick
ing up Of horse and buggy and carry
ing them TO the heighth OF twenty 10
80 feet distance Of about Is rods,
dashing it TO the earth, crushing the
horse to jelly and the buggy to
splinters. The cemetery just outside Of
town was laid waste, nearly every
tombstone in it being levelled to the
ground.
The storm has disappeared in the
East, and there are reports that it did
damage elsewhere, but these reports
are not yet confined. The total dam-
age in COllinsvillc is estimated at $4,000

Western Railroad War.

New YoRK, April 1.-THE war be-
tween the roads west Of 1T. Louis and

roads. The latter will charge full rate
between Chicago and St. Louis an'l
Eastern cities, and guarantees no
through rate beyond Chicago and It.
Louis until western rates are restored.
Circulars 10 that effect have been issued
by Commissioner Fink.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE first fruits Of
the disruption Of the Southwestern
Railroad pool appeared to-day in the
reduction 10y Chicago roads on East
bound freight Of the fourth-class to 4
cents per hundred pounds. The former
rate was 20 cents for corn and q cents
for wheat West bound freight was
billed at 10 cents for fourth-class. The
Eastern trunk lines have notified their
western connections that on through
freight from and Ia Missouri river points
full arbitrary rates will be charged. This
leaves a very small margin Of profit on
through ircights.

HOUSE.

Immediately after the reading OF the
journal the Speaker called the States for
bills for reference, beginning with
Maine.
Mr.. Ladd introduced bill 10 put the
coinage OF gold and silver on the same
footing.
A point of order thereupon was
raised, by Mr.. Conger, that the intro
duction of bill requires one days no
tice, and that no such notice had been
given.
The Speaker, after quoting several
rules bearing on the subject, Overruled
the point of order. An appeal from the
decision was taken by Mr.. Conger, and
a motion to lag the appeal on
the table was made by Mr..
Cox. The question was debated by
Mr. Stephens, who expressed the
opinion that the decision was clearly
right and at all events the object of the
bill could always be attained by pre-
senting a petition on the same subject
Mr.. Conger continued the discussion,
thus indirectly obtaining his object, the
consumption Of the morning hour. He
finally called for tellers on the motion
10 lay on the table. ThereupOn Mr..

pedite the decision of the question, CALI d

delay was being occasiOned by the ac-
ton Of the Democratic side OF the house.
The appeal was laid on the table-yeas,
l39; nays, 76; butthe morning hour was
used up in objections, discussion and
and the taking OF the vote.
Mr.. Monroe moved 10 suspend the
rules and adopt the following resolu-
ton:
Rssoired, That in the judgment OF the
House the business interest of the cOun-
try require no legislation changing the
laws in regard to currency and tariff,
and shall not. therefore, be- undertaken

ON foot about ten O'Clock on Mon

one dollar IN silver. Then they com
