The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-12-04

AT a recent meeting of an English
Farmers Club, Prof. Mcbride spoke of
the difficulty OF administering medicine
to a pig. He said: To dose pig,
which YOU are sure to choke if you at
tempt to make him drink while squeal-
ing, halter him as you would for execu-
ton, and tie the rope-end to stake.
He will pull back until the rope is tight
" strained. When he has ceased his
uproar and begins to reflect, approach
him, and between the back part OF his
jaws insert an old shoe, from which you
have cut the toe leather. This he will
at once begin to suck and chew:
Through it pour medicine, and he will
swallow any quantity you please.

Prominent journalists, representing the seve-
raj press associations of the east and west, held
meeting In New York city, Wednesday, to con-
suit with the view OF enlarging and improving
the facilities for the gathering and transmission
OF news. The newspapers Of the West have
heretofore culled their news from that gathered
by the New York Associated Press. The leading
journalists OF that section think that better
service could be had by the establishment Of a
central agency, or National news clearing
house." in New York city. A committee, con
sisting OF Messrs. Halstead, of the Western AS
ISOLATED Press, Pulsifer, OF the New England
Press Association, and c. l. Smith, of the New
York State Association, was appointed to confer
with the executive committee of the New York
Associated Press upon the subject of establish
ing the central agency in New York. Should this
plan be adopted, which is quite probable, it will
not interfere with the organization of the pres
ent press associations.

NIr. Edison now proclaims that he has finally
made success Of his electric light, and he is
preparing to prove that the success is complete.
He intends to light up the entire village of
Menlo Park, Christmas Eve, with his new cleo
trio light, and to invite everybody to visit and
inspect it. He says:-"Let the gas companies
reduce their price, and then reduce It again. for
1t is well known they can still do this and make
money and can undersell them and make a
large profit" In view of past great expecta-
lions not realized in regard to Mr.. Edison's
light, the public will probably prefer to wait
until after Christmas before coming to an opin-
ion upon the present announcement OF success.

The friends Of Senator Thurman, it Is said,
do not admit that he was crowded OFF the presi-
Dental track by the republican victory in Ohio,
and they are preparing to organize first-class
boom for him. Their plan, as reported, is to
enter Mr.. Thurman for the race on the Pacific
coast and have the boom swell as it moves east
ward. The Thurman bill compelling the Pacific
railroads to provide for payment of their indebt-
edneSs to the government Is to be made the
basis Of the movement. The agricultural and
laboring interests OF the far west will be urged
to rally around Mr.. Thurman as the only man
who has accomplished anything in the way of
bringing the great railway corporations under
subsection to the law; that he has established
the right and power OF Congress to control these
corporations, which threatened to crush and
override the people of the Pacific states. For the
purpose OF infusing the anti-railway element
with sympathy for the Senator, it will be
Claimed that his defeat was comprised by
money supplied by the railroad corporations to
avenge themselves upon him for having struck
them blow in the interest of the people"

1t seems to be gaining in other sections. 1t was

turn of prosperity made everybody feel that

The Memphis Aradnche representing con-
stituency deeply interested In the permanent
improvement Of the mouth OF the Mississippi
says: "The time is near at hand when the utter
failure OF the jeusy system, as applied to the
mouth OF the Mississippi, VIII be acknowledged"
II this be true, it is time that those entrusted
with the duty Of paying the public money for
the construction of the jetties found it out. The
condition imposed was that permanent chan
mel, competent for all the demands of naviga-
ton should be maintained. A failure to furnish
and maintain such channel renders the con-
tract null and void, or, at least, ought to do So
But the Ardlancl,e goes further and condemns
the plan to levee the Mississippi as job-a
f'twin fraud with the jetties. II the rdldncl,e
is not talking wildly Congress should so slow in
this scheme.

The sale, by W. FL Vanderbilt, OF $50 900 shares
OF New York Central railroad stock, involving a
payment OF 100000 900, was one of the largest
transactions, perhaps the largest, ever con-
Sumated in this country. Mr.. Cyrus w. Field,
who has had great deal Of experience in that
line, says 1t was the Largest transaction ever
heard of by any corporation" Half the amount
at least, is to be paid in Z. S. per cent. bonds
at par, and some knowing ones among railroad
magnateS and stock brokers are of the opinion
that MIR. Vanderbilt has made big stroke Mr.
Vanderbilt retains the management OF the line
of railroad, and some OF the Wall street opera
tors have intimated suspicion that he will
manage it so as to be able to buy back the stock
he has sold for much less than the price he gets.
This was the basis OF the opinion that he had
'fmade big stroke" In comparison with this
transaction jay Gould's check of S,sOO,OOO to
Commodore Garrison for the Missouri Pacific
railroad becomes picayune affair. Mr.. VAN
derbft'S oStensible reason for relinquishing this
enormous block Of stock Is that he did it in
Difference to the popular feeling, which was
averse to his absolute control of New York Cen
tral, but the general impression in New York
city Is that other motives influenced the sale,-
that for one thing he wanted the money badly
to pay off heavy Indebtedness and that further
it was necessary for him to protect the interests
of the road in its western connections by an
alliance with Jay Gould and his associates who
have recently got control of network of west
ern roads.

Inc Assignment of j. HI. Breidert, Ha1

The Assignment of j. H. Breidert, Hard
ware Dealer.
An assignment and judgments were en-
tered In the district court yesterday, against
the Well-known hardware dealer, Mr.. J. 81.
Breidert, No. 20 East Third street. The as
slgnment was forced by the Wilmington &
Conley manufacturing company on an over
due note of $500, and was owing to poor
collections and general apathy in the hard
ware business.
The entire Indebtedness will not exceed
$lo,ooo, being amply secured BY a large
stock OF general hardware and considerable
real estate, all of which is assigna for the
protection of st. Paul creditors. where the
Indebtedness is almost strictly confined.
Mr.. George Benz was appointed assignee,
and 1t IS stated on reliable AUTHORITY that Mr..
Breldert will have fully $4,000 AFTER all his
Indebtedness is paid.
The largest Indebtedness is due the Ger
man American bank, for which confession
OF Judgment was yesterday entered in two
sums, $l2,755 and $3,l80.S5. The last
named amount, it may be stated, is not
really an Indebtedness, being in reality the
transfer of negotiable paper recently COL
lected by the bank, all of which is regarded
as valid. Confession of Judgment was also
entered for $529.51 in favor of Bernard
Michel.
The affair is regarded as very unfortunate
by the many friends of Mr.. Rriedert. as
that gentleman has always been and is now
regarded as an industrious, useful and thor
oughly upright citizen. It is Mr.. Breiaert's
intention to resume business at the earliest
day possible.

ON THE WAR PATH.

A Party of Cheyennes Start Out for a Long
Campaign-A St. Paul Man Killed bv
Indians.
Military headquarters is in receipt of news
of an Indian raid in the vicinity of Fort
Keogh, Montana. The advice comes under
date of the 21st ult., and states that large
party of Cheyennes are reported in that
locality, going north. The scouts
brought in word that the
Indians had their families with
them, as the lodge pole trail indicated. It
was calculated that the party numbered fully
two hundred; and appearances were, that
the Indians were equipped for prolonged
campaign. Consid erable alarm was prevalent
among the isolated settlers, and this
was augmented by the fact
that the Indians course of travel seemed
to lead toward the frontier line of settle
ments and along the stage routes between
the forts and far distant towns. Gen. j. N.
It. Whistler, commanding at Fort Keogh,
reports that he, upon receipt of the news,
dispatched three companies of the Second
cavalry, under Col. Baker, to intercept the
Indians, if possible. The command
had started to Glendive creek, amp
being we'll equipped and mounted, it was
hoped that the Indians would be overtaken
and brought to a reckoning somewhere in
the vicinity of the above mentioned water
course. These indians are supposed to be
some of the dissatisfied young bucks and
their families from the lower agency. and
are going north to join Sitting Bull, to be in
readiness for probable summer campaign.
Gen. Whistler's report is accompanied bv no
account of any depredations.
MURDERED By INDIANS.
From other sources the news is received
that this or another band of Indians have
marked their march with murder. The fol-
lowing letter was received, yesterday, and at
once given into the hands of the chief IF

A Heavy Faflure-Damage by the Storm.
SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-The failure of
Godcheau Bros. & Co., is now known to be
more disastrous than the most panic stricken
of its creditors would have dared to sup
pose. A careful examination of their affairs
shows the assets of the firm amount to onlv
$475, 900, of which $4,000 is in stock aud
the balance in book accounts, notes, etc.
The liabilities are over one million dollars.
The creditors are garnlsheeing debts when
ever due. Much Of the $500, 900 due the
firm had been assigned to creditors previous
to the announcement of the failure. and
much of it being due from retail houses
IN this city, which have also become
embarrassed, it is asserted there will be a
shrlnkage of probably 50 per cent on the
amount of assets stated.
Mail advices from Eureka report much
damage from the storm in the vicinity of
Humboldt bay. Rivers have overhowed
their banks, bridges are carried away, stage
and telegraphic information is suspended,
farming lands flooded, snd fences, outbuild-
ings and dwellings swept away. Two lives
are known to have been lost. The persons
injured and loss of stock is very heavy.

New York, March 8.-The fall in the Chi
cago wheat market yesterday had no effect
to-day on the new produce exchange, where
the morning call showed April wheat bought
cent IN advance of the prices which ruled
yesterday morning. The forger has not yet
been discovered. Keene was at the Office of
DIS brokers this morning, but declined to
see any representatives of the press.
CHICAGO, March 8.-The activity in wheat
continues to-day, but the movement is to-
ward higher prices. Last nights closing
ngure Tor April options, in which most
OF Inc transactions are made, was 2Mc
April opened this morning on the 8
A. M: call at 9S4, with little fuctuation,
went up to 944, reacted to 81, and with
many small breaks reached 1914, but only to
decline by degrees until it settled at S4h,
where 1t remained steadily at noon. In about
seven minutes early this morning nearly
45O,ooo bushels changed hands, but Fisher,
heene's broker, did not seem to be taking q
hand. 1t is stated be quietly bought back a
large amount during yesterday afternoon.
Much distrust is manifested on Change as to
the causes of the proceeding of yesterday,
and the usual explanation is discredlted on
all sides. The market now has nearly re-
covered from the raid, but is nervous and
unsettled. At 1 o'clock the market was
very steady, closing at 94M for April.
Rufus Hatch & 60. this morning sent to
Smith d Lightner the following dispatch
"Keene will pay $4,000 reward for the de-
lection OF the party who sent the order
signed 'Keene,' to sell wheat. He thinks it
Is regular conspiracy, and that several
people are engaged, to break the grain and
provision markets. It is stated that Keene
sent to the same firm an order to buy
lOO,OOO bushels of wheat. The generally
accepted opinion on change is that Keene
has neither suffered by the transaction nor
been victimized, and that if the bogus dis
patch was actually sent, he will more than
recover the loss by the natural reaction
against the heavy fall of yesterday.
Archie Fisher made statement to-day
showing that the whole amount of wheat solj
upon the bogus order signed by Keene has
been repurchased, and without any loss either
to his firm or to Keene.
