Burned His win and Bonds.

New York, Special: Some time be-
fore Leon L. Perrusset, an old and
wealthy resident of the town of New
Lots, L. l., who when a young man had
been engaged in extensive business en-
terprises in the west, died, he informed
his family where they would find his
will, bonds and stocks. They believed
him to be possessed of a fortune ofabout
S125, 600, of which 100000 was in securi-
ties. Upon visiting the place designated
by him they were unable to find any
will, bond or security. A search was
then made through banks, safe deposit
vaults and trustees, but without success,
and it is now believed that previous to
his sickness Mr.. Perrusset burned sew
eral thousand dollars worth of bonds
and securities, together with his will.

Thursday the elephant Pilot was killed
in New York. At the close ofthe circus
Wednesday night the trainers, Arting-
stall and Newman, tried to subdue the
huge beast, who, by his attack on Keep
er Newman in the morning. had shown
itself unruly and dangerous. They
placed Gypsy and the elephant clown
Fritz on either side of Pilot. and then
endeavored TO get moose made with a
two-inch rope around his hind feet.
They struggled two hours and half be-
fore they succeeded. By the use of
pulley and tackle they finally got the
elephant down on his side. They fog
ged him till 4,30 o'clock with hoop-poles.
He knocked down a brick chimney
in his struggles, and struck with his
trunk at any one who came near him.
Mr.. Bailey sent word that he would
rather have "Pilot" killed than the life
of any keeper or trainer liz the show
endangered, At o'clock Nj. Arting-
stall fred two shots from navy revolt
yer about two feet long into Pilots body
Just below the shoulder These disabled
the animal. The keeper then walked
up to the elephant and shot him under
the left eye. The bullet entered the
beasts brain. He trumpeted to tho 9th
er elephants once and expired in five
minutes. The animal weighed 10000
pounds, and was worth about $1,000
Two days ago $1,000 was offered for him
by Snowman. The boiy was cut up

named Bowenton of st. Louis took out a
patent and proposed to demand a royal

Kansas Follows Iowa.

Atchison, Kans., Specialize ques-
ton of the validity of the prohibition
law of Kansas is to be tested before the
supreme court Of the United States.
The National Brewers association have
employed Senator Vest of Missouri to
prepare the papers for presentation be-
fore the court. Senator Vest holds that
the constitution of the United States
guarantees the right TO sell and manu-
facture liquor, and that no state has the
right to abridge any right which is guar
anteed by that constitution by amending
an organic act. In other words, the
United States having recognized the
manufacture and sale of spirituous liq-
uors as constitutional right, no state
can say that the manufacture and sale in
unlawful.

Fatal Labor Row at Springfield,

Springfield Special 18th: The situa
ton at the rolling mills is becoming very
serious. The mill has been filling up
with non-unlon men quite rapidly of late
and the members of the Amalgamated
association seem to be getting desperate,
and the assaults on the men who have
taken the place of the strikers are Of
daily occurrence. Several of them have
been badly beaten. To-day party of
two or three left the mill fora walk into
the country. They were followed by a
gang Of strikers, and when about two
miles distance were beaten and thrown
off bridge. Two of the members have
not returned, and are said to be very
seriously injured. Two or three physi-
clans left tonight to attend them, but
beclme alarmed and returned be-
fore reaching the spot. Tonight a
party of workmen were leaving the mill
about 80 o'clock. Soon after getting
outside the enclosure gang of strikers
opened fire upon them. They fired
shot guns and pistols. Scarcely less than
fifty shots were fired. John Waldron, a
young man recently arrived from Pitts
burg, fell dead. Aftefward It appeared
that thirty-four buckshot entered his
side, breast, throat and face. Brainard
Mulkurn was shot in the chest and arm
His wounds are serious, but it is thought
he will survive. Sam Brittin received
slight wound in the hip. Great excite
ment prevails. No arrests have as yet
been made. The murderers are ull-
known as they fired from an ambush
The working-men are unawed, and ex-
press determination to run the mill.

There lisa very important case now be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States, the actpalquestions in controversy
being whether the power to fix and reg
ulate rates for the transportation of mer-
chandise and passengers over the Ill
inois Central road is vested in the rail-
road company or in the state. 1t is the
railroad against the people of Illinois.
A suit brought by one John NJ. Maris in
the name of the state. against the rail-
road company, under an act of the state
legislature passed May 2, 1873, entitled
An act to prevent extortion and unjust
discrimination in rates charged for trans
portation of passengers and freight"
The plaintiff alleges the railroad COM
pany charged him higher rate on a
quantity of salt shipped from Chicago to
Tucola than that fixed by the railroad
and warehouse commissioners, appointed
under the act above mentioned. The
company admits the overcharge, but
maintains that the state commissioners
had no legal authority to fix the rates
for the transportation of merchandise
over its road, and that the act which as
sumes to give such authority is uncon-
stitutional and void, for the reason it
impairs the provisions of the contract
between the state and the company en-
bodied in the company's charter. The
great importance of the suit lies in the
question whether the so-cailed Granger
decisions of the supreme court rem
dered years ago, are likely to e fully
reatiirmed or weakened and qualified in
a subsequent decision. The result will
be watched with considerable interest.

The troubles in Europe at the present
time are simply evidences of discomfort
that class rule and intolerable taxation
have created. Organized resistance in
the form of revolution is simply out of
the question, owing TO the immense
standing armies; and peaceful change
cannot be possible because the suffrage
is withheld. Checked and baffled on
every hand some of the most ardent
spirits have resorted unwisely perhaps,
to other measures, to terrify despotic
power into something like a decent re-
gard for the welfare of the people
These measures are not generally APP
proved by other nations and it is doubt
full whether they can be made effective.

How Old Ocean RACES.

The steamer Nottinghill, from New
York April for London, put in to Kal-
flax, N. S., after terrible experience at
sea. Tuesday evening after sailing
gale began, which ragged throughout the
night, becoming cyclone on Wednes
dag morning, when the ship was thrown
on her beam end. Two days following
hurricane prevailed TIE mizzen boom
was torn away, and dashed against the
skylight of the engine room into which
the boom and glass fell, seriously injur-
ing three engineers. All the doors of the
deck houses were burst, the rooms gut
ted, the galley wrecked and a great
part of the ships provisions carried
away. Twenty-three feet of solid steel
thirty feet more damaged. The stanch-
ions were torn from their fastenings as
if scantling. Multitudinous seas drowned
the fires and threatened to over
whelm the ship. For forty-eight hours
the ship was still on her beam
ends and the pumps choked. The men
kept bailing, but vera only able to keep
the water from gaining. The live stock
in the holds were swimming about all
this time, and having no ladder On
Friday morning the men went in body
to Capt. Bennett and demanded to be
taken into port or have the ship aband-
oned. Compliance with the demand
was impossible, as the water in the en-
CINE room prevented the fires, and only
two boats were left. Friday night the
weather moderated. and Saturday the
storm subsidized. The ship being light,
the water was quickly reduced and the
stream raised, and as soon as the ship
got under way she righted. An exami-
nation showed thirty-four bullocks and
six sheep lost of 134 head of cattle and
196 sheep on board. The remainder of
the cargo is in good order, except about
100 tons, which was washed overheard
The cattle and sheep are likely to be
sold, and the ship will repair damages.

The Iowa Tragedy.

In its accounts Of the murder Of his
wife and and two sons by Charles j.
Smith, and the suicide of the murderer,
Thursday, the Earlville dowa) Graphic
says: "About eighty rods east and
south from the house was found the
fiend incarnate, iylng near wire fence,
with an open jacll-knife firmly clutched
in his right hand and small vial o
strychnine IN the left. His throat was
cut from car to ear, the windpipe being
completely severed. From appearances
it was thought he had taken strychnine,
and, fearing failure from that agency,
his determination to end bis life prompt
ed the use Of the knife, after employing
which he dragged himself along the
fence, rod or more toward the house,
where he expirnd. II seems that the
two little girls, one eight and the
other twelve, after the attack upon the
mother, ran to the nearest neighbor,
Mr. Joe Sullivan's and gave the
alarm, but before assistance could be rem
dered, the savage deed was committed.
Mr. Smith, in his intercourse among
men, has always been considereda pleas
ant, mannerly man. But during the
last year has been unfortunate in his
farm operations, having lost over 100
hogs for one thing, which seemed to
make him more irritable. And yester-
day shed fell upon and killed several
more that he had last purchased. He
has been heard to remark of late, that
every thing seemed TO work against
him. And, it is said, that in his family,
at times, he has shown disposition des-
flute Of kindness. At the time Of the
preparation of tie deed, which now
spreads dismay throughout our entire
community. there is no doubt but that
the preparation was directly caused by
loss of property and financial embarrass-
ment. He was fifty-eight years Of age,
and his wife upwards of forty years.
The verdict os the coroner's jury was in
accordance with the facts.

10 public schools, recommends fewer ex-
