STEADILY SINKING.
COLONEL BLACK DYING AT MID
NIGHT.
All Hope AbandOned-SatIsf1 fed that
He Gould Not Live and PreferrIng
to Coils Family and Friends
Around Him.

WARRINGTON, March O-Representative
Black is again in a critical condition to-
night. The slight improvement noted
yesterday did not continue to-day. He had
backset to-day. The doctors at one time
thought that hSswas dying. They have
heretofore forbidden him to talk abou.
business, but to-day they told Mrs. Black
that II he wanted to talk on business mat
ters with her to allow him to do so.
The children were summoned from Balti-
more by telegraph, and at 5 o'clock this
afternoon his near friends were at the house
In the expectation that the end was nigh.
About O'Clock he rallied somewhat, but he
did not gain the condition which he held
before the backset. His physicians say
that he has really been dying for the past
five days. Whatever improvement he may
make is only temporary.
The best information, based upon the
physicians statement, is that It is only a
question OF time when the end will come.
Ihe patient to-day, for the first time, said
that he thought he would die. He said: ''I
know l am going to die, but would rather
die than live and be helpless"
General Blount, who has sat up with him
night and daY at intervals. tonight said
that, true to his nature, Mr.. Black has been
more concerned about the comfort of those
watching with him than about himself.
The slight favorable reaction In Mr.,
Blacks condition noted early in the evening
has disappeared. AS the night grows on the
patient gets worse. At 1870 his condition
is more unfavorable than at any time dur
ing his illness. Death is near hand.
1t is considered almost impossible by the
physicians that life can last twelve hours
longer. One OF the physicians says that
death at any moment would not surprise
him. The hands of the sufferer are clammy
as OF death, and the pulse has almost ceased
to beat.
At very late hour Col. Black is still
alive. but there is no change for the better
in his condition. Death is now expected
inside CT four or five hours at the least.

Des ructiOn of American Forests.

H. EyteStOb III AUflOef' Tor ApftL.
In our own country we have gone to
the forests in kind of freebooter stvle.
cutting and burning more than we could
cut, acting for the most part as though
all the while in frOlic or fight. until
now at length, after a century or two of
this sort of work, we are waking up to
the facts that our once boundless woods
are disappearing, and that we are likely
to suffer no little loss hereby. But il is
only the few who seem now to have anv
adequate sense of our condition as affect
ed by the threatened loss of the trees.
In recent publication, issued by
authority of one of our Western States
for the express purpose of attracting
settlers from European countries, the
statistics of its great lumber production
are elaborately set forth, accompanied
by the assurance that the present
enormous consumption of trees for this
purpose may be continued ten or fifteen
years longer before the forests will be
destroyed
The cool unconcern in regard to the
future shown in this is very noticeable.
"Atter us, the deluge" A correspond
ing feeling, though working on a much
smaller scale, is seen in an advertise
ment, and of a class often appearing in
our older States. "Brace up, young man,
You have lived on your parents long
enough. Buy this farm, cut off the wood.
haul it to market, get your money for it.
and pay for the fam. The owner esti.
mates that there will be five hundred
cords of market wood" And so. all
over the country, on the large scale and
on the small, and the ak is laid at the
roots of the trees, and our forests are
disappearing. 1t is estimated that 8,OOO.-
600 acres of forest land are cleared every
year, and that in the ten years previous
to 1876, 12, 100000 acres were burned
over simply to clear the land.

BRAINING'A PANTHER WITH STONE
During the deep snow Oscar Mitchell

some animal, followed 1t some distance,
ard found that it went into a cave. He
built q pen over the cave, setting his
trap. Visiting it two mornings after
wards, the trap still set, he saw no signs
of the animal; but the third morning he
went TO his trap without any weapons,
he walked up to within fifteen or twenty
steps of the cave, saw that the trap had
caught the animal by the hind foot. and
with its fore feet had torn the pen down
and was lying quietly behind the rub.

hind feet for fight. 1t looked four or five
feet high. Mitchell stood hesitating for
a moment what to do, but, gathering
two flint rocks (the animal stood stil).
he threw one with all his strength, and
struck the animal on the forehead, break
ing his skull and killing it instantly, and,
walking up to see what it was, found
that it was a panther.-TdzeioeH County

THE LAWRENCE STRIKERS.
Four Hundred More Hsnds Quit
Work.

LAWRENCE, MASS. March 2O.-One hun
dred and forty worsted weavers in the Pa
cifc Upper Mills struck at $50 o'clock this
morning, making the total number of acces,
sions to the strikers to-day four hundred.
The weavers and spinners held a secret
meeting at Father Matthew'S Hall. Ex-
Representative Joseph j. Nichols presided.
The meeting was largely attended, and
was held with closed doors. Committee 9
were appointed to wait on Superintendents
Stone and Park and ask to see on what
terms the strikers would be received. But
they unanimously voted not to return to
work under the proposed reduction. The
mills are running, but with about one-sixth
OF the full complement of hands. The
strikers are orderly, and but few of them
are seen on the streets.
One thousand looms in the Upper Pacific
Mill and the entire worsted department will
be closed to night, throwing 5000 persons
out of employment. The worsted depart
ment OF the Lower Pacific Mill will probs-
bly, be closed tomorrow. When the COM
mittee of the strikers waited upon Superin-
tendent Stone, of the Lower Pacific Mill, to-
day he informed them that the old rate of
wages would not be restored.
A report is current that "cut' is coon to
be made at Washington Mills, which en-
ploV about 2, 100 operatives. Should tbis
take place trouble similar to that at che
Pacific Mills is expected.

WHARFAGE DUES.
The Right of Private Corporations
so Collect Such at Their Piers.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The suPr.-,o
Court rendered its decision to-day in the
case Of the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
Railroad Company, plaintiff in error, VS..
Henry Ellerman, appeal from the Circuit
Court of the United States for the District
Of Louisiana, in which the defendant in
error, as Wharinger OF New Orleans,
sought to enioin the plaintiff in
error and the lessees under it from
collecting wharfage dues from vessels
making use of its piers and wharves. The
point at issue was the right of the State
Legislature to grant authority to the rail
road company to collect dues from vessels
loading and discharging at piers and
whsrves built and owned by itself within
the city limits.
This court holds that the act granting
such right to the railroad company was
not in derogatiOn of any right of the city,
inasmuch as the city could only claim COM
pensation for the use of piers and whsrves
built and maintained by itself. The decree
is reversed, with costs and the cause re-
msnded, with direction to dismiss the bill.
