The last days of Senator Hill, who died yesterday, were certainly not his worst, Though great sufferer and fully conscious that the end was near his great soul has been unshaken. He has been brave and even cheerful in the very face of death, and has exhibited qualities which have won the ad- miration of all to whose notice they have come.
 test case, to determine whether or not the elevated roads in New York are common carriers for the reception, transportation and delivery of freight, has been brought, under 8 section of the general law of 1875. firm of stationers offered parcel at an uptown station, to be carried to Park place, and the package was refused. The plaintiffs in this suit allege that certain news company and specially favored persons are permitted to send bundles, but that the general public is denied the privilege. The decision in this case will be awaited with interest, for if the elevated roads must carry freight the rapid transit scheme will be seriously affected.

AV0 w AA \ V is given by using BROWNS IRON BITTERs. In the Winter it strengthens and warns the system; in the Spring it enriches the blood and conquers disease: in the Summer it gives tone to the nerves and digestive organs; in the Fall it enables the system to stand the shock of sudden changes.

tion of the ecclesiastical commissioners.
 Governor McEnery, of Louisiana, IS not entirely happy. He has been criticised for signing bill that had been incorrectly en. grossed. He has replied through the news papers that he followed the progress of bill through the printed journals of sach days proceedings, and that he must assume that it's enrolment when presented to him is ab- solutely correct, and tbat to attempt to su- pervise the clerical business of the LegisIa- ture would not only be great task, but i'm pertinent. In regard to the case at issue he said more particularly, that the bill was pre- sented to him on the day of adjournment that all bills, to become laws, must be signed before adjournment that on this day there were nineteen bills sent him, all of which had to be signed before noon and that if he had taken the time to carefully read and coliate each bill with the original none could have become laws. The Louisiana Legislature might proftably follow the plan of the Con, necticut Legislature, and adjourn for few days just before the end of the session in or der to give the Governor time to properly examine the bills passed.
 The increase in the consumption of coffee is very striking. Twenty-Five years ago the quantity grown was estimated at 338 O6O tons, but in 1879 the total was 59O,OOO. The consumption was greatest in the United States. The principal coffee producing coun try is Brazil the crop of 1880 being estima- ted at 28O, ,OOe tons, but when the emancipa- tion of the negroes is complete, as it will be in twenty years, the question is whether the coffee planters will be able to
 find laborers enough to keep up this high total. Next to Brazil come the Dutch In- dies, including Java and Sumatra, into which the cultivation of coffee was intro. duced by Van floor in 1869. It is only with in the last quarter of century that the cof fees of Ceylon and the East Indies have been exported in any quantity, but at the present time the export of Ceylon coffee is 40, ,OOO tons, and of East Indian coffee over 30, 900. The coffee plant has been found to do well in some parts of Africa, such as the region ot the Mozambique and the Cape Verde Islands but it has not answered at Sierra Leone, on the Guinea coast, at Natal or in the Cape Colony. Attempts are now being made to acclimatize it in the Fiji Islands.

For hulself he signs no leases that do not contain a stringent anti liquor clause. The archbishop in reply con- mends Canon Wilberforce's own conduct, and says that he will call the matter to the atten- tion of the ecclesiastical commissioners.

From the Normal.

TUESDAY, May 3.
Messrs. Gallagher and Van Ness,
members of the graduating class, visited
the city scoools yesterday and express
themselves as highly pleased with the
way in which the schools are conducted.
A club race this morning between the
members of Mr.. A. II. Newton's divis-
ion in calisthenics created considerable
interest and merriment. The contest.
ants were pretty evenly balanced in
ability, and after the first few rounds no
one was willing to stake TWO to one in
favor of either of the light but cautious
steppers.
The Normal base ball club held a
meeting this morning, and although the
session was held with closed doors, we
feel certain from the look of determine
ton to do or die upon the brows of the
members as they slowly marched from
the chamber of council, that some very
important measure had been under con-
sideration.
Rev. HendY will deliver his lecture on
"Rome" at the Normal tonight. We
hear this lecture highly spoken of, and
as we are all aware of the ability of the
speaker, we feel safe in saying that no
one can well afford to miss this lecture
tonight. The lecture will begin prompt
ly at O'Clock. ]. N. S.

rnken TO Cnttnnuno.,

Last Sunday the sheriff of Chase coun-
ty, in company with Deputy Sheriff
Jabe Johnson, arrived in Emporia after
the three negro prisoners implicated in
the recent shooting affray at Strong City.
They left on the O'Clock train this
morning for Cottonwood, where Bridges
and Blakemore will today have their
preliminary examination. Ray was az.
raigned some time ago, when he waived
examination, and in default of $1,000
bail was committed. The attorneys for
the defense. so We learn, will ask for q
change of venue, as they claim an i'm
partial trial cannot be had In Chase
county. The prisoners will doubtless
now be lodged in the Jail at Cottonwood
as matters have greatly quieted down
and no fears of mob violence are enter
tanned. The trial of these men will no
occur until the sitting of the Chas,
county district court some time in June

The work of tearing down the WEIGH
Congregational church on Merchants
street was commenced Tuesday morning,
and on the site which it has occupied for
SO long will arise large and handsome
edifice adequate to the accommodation
of the large and rapidly increasing men,
bership of that society. The old edIfiee
was erected in 1857, and at the time of
its construction was quite credit to the
town and for many years proved a COM
fortable and sufficiently commodious
house of worship. But the little band
which planted the standard of their
faith in the village of Imports
fifteen years ago, grew with the town,
anc under the ministratIon of faithful
pastors the flock waxed strong in num-
bers, the members of the society were
prospered in basket and in store, until
now, the old stone building around
which cluster so many haliowed asso-
Citations, is no longer sufficient to meet
the necessities of the congregation, and
having served the purposes of its day
and generation, is removed to give place
to more imposing temple.
Among our citizens who were actively
identified with the building of the old
church, may be mentioned r. d. Thomas,
John Maddox, Thos. II. Thomas, ]. W.
Morris. Edward Morris, D. W. Morris,
Daniel P. Jones, Peter Hughes, and
Richard Howe, and a majority of these
gentlemen are contributing literally of
their means and interesting themselves
personally in the construction of the
new edifice. The old church cost 81, 800,
and was dedicated by Rev. Cadwaladar
Jones, at present of Trinidad, Colorado.
In 1869 the present pastor, Rev. Mr..
Rees was called to the charge which he
na, ever since served with great accept
ability.
The plans of the new church have
already been described in THE News,
and we are glad to learn that the work |
of raising funds for pushing the work |
forward has been attended by such |
gratifying results. The edifice, when |
will cost between $4,000 and |
81, 600 and will be one of the neatest and |
most substantial structures in the state.

A Suggestion.

1t has been suggested to US that in
view of the tact that Emporia is at any
time liable TO have case of small pOx
on her hands, that as soon as the tents
and blankets now in use for the accom-
mediation of Tom Smith, are no Longer
needed, they be thoroughly disinfected
and removed to the county poor farm
and a pest house be there erected at &
safe distance from the other buildings
This would provide immediate quarters
for smallpox patients, and would SAVE
the county q considerable sum. The
tents and blankets now in use ara
worth nearly 500 and instead of burn
ing them they can be disinfected, ant
thus be ready to use at moments no
tice. We merely give this as suggested
to us by leading physician of the city
and to call the attention of the authoii
ties to the feasibility Of the plan.

AMI J. n Tanner They are at present
couductiae a sto1e II Humboldt ON the
same general plan as the one they are
opened here this week. In the
early part of January, having decided to
| open another store either al Topeka or
EmporIa, they came here on prospect
| ing tour, and in due time they decided
upon Emporia and purchased two lots
the Whitley opera house. on the 9th of
March last, and work began upon their
building, which was finished April 10.
For the past three weeks the opening
and tomorrow business Will commence,
although a portion Of the stock
is still delayed on the road.
The store room is one hundred feet wide
by seventy in depth, is well lighted and
ventilated by glass doors and windows in
the front ami rear. Through the room
at intervals extend counters and shelv-
ing and bins admirably arranged for the
various departments of queensware, will
low-ware, stoveware, sugars, coffees,
canned goods, &c.
In the rear of the building is roOmy
yard, we'll grsyeled. Upon one side of
the yard is the opening to the coal oil
pit, an ingenious sort of az underground
room, wherein a large quantity of coal
oil is stored in barrels, and SO arranged
that it can be flooded with water in
warm weather to prevent evaporation or
leakage of the oil. The butter house Is
a model for the perfect keeping of this
staple; it is built of stone and partly un-

lated.
The Tanner Bros. have faith in En-

point. They sell strictly for cash, and
rely upon large SAILS for the profits. |
They are courteous aud business-like |

people of this city and vicinity call and |
see them, and become acquainted with
their methods of doing business.
