"THE slobbering habit Of indiscriminate
kissing" is the inelegant way the dis
gustsd Memphis Appeal phrases its opin.
ion of the osculatory ceremony between

UNTIL very recently that extremely sx-
pressive yet wonderfully inexplicable
word "chic," was the leading slang
phrase of the Parisians. Now they have
displaced it with one as fully Incompetent.
sible and more than equally as odd in Or
typography. 1t is "pschutt," and signifies
everything that is elegant in dress, talk
and manners and great deal more. The
pschutteuz are the perfection of society and
art in Paris, and "chc" is discarded as
expressioDless.
The House yesterday adopted the new
rule reported by the committee on rules,
and subsequently took the tariff bill from
the speakers table, and referred it to com.
mittee of conference, consisting Of Messrs
Morrill,, Sherman, Aldrich, Bayard and
Beck on the part of the Senate. and
Messrs. Kelley, Mckinley. Haskell, Randall
and Carlisle of the House, but Mr.. Randall
declines to serve. As the high protection
lists are in a majority of this committee
they are hopeful.
THE municipality of Altoona is IN
bad way and is reaping the fruits of finau-
cial mismangement in tho administration
Of city affairs. There is good deal of
business talent up there, but it has left
politics to worse class of men and having
sown the wind the citizens are reaping the
whirlwind. When they take fresh start
they will elect better men to the city
Offices and institute the policy, which has
lately worked SO we'll in this city, of con-
tracing no permanent debt for temporary
improvements and making no expendi-
lures in excess of the appropriations.
STATE SENATOR COOPER has failed in
his attempt to amend the rules SO as to pre-
vent both Houses considering bills of simi-
lar import simultaneously. He explained
that his design was to save the time Of the
Legislature and prevent the tricks of con-
ference committees. His proposition sub.
stantially was that the bill which was
most advanced in its progress through
either House was to be favored. After
debate in which the impolicy of making ary
change in the rules was argued by Messrs.
Gordon, Nelson, Lee and Herr, the prop
osition was defeated By II ayes to % noes,
but the vote was not a party one.

The total losses BY tho floods in the
Ohio and Wsbaah rivers arc estimated BY
the New York Herald at sos, 900, Of
which q, ,250, 900 falls on Cincinnati and
its suburbs, and 81, ,000, 900 ON Louisville.
Moro than 5000 dwellings in the Ohio
valley wero swept away or wrecked beyond
repair. Tho figures given do not include
tho losses from suspension Of bust
ness and trade. Tto subsistence of
the floods is taking place very slowly,
and It may be month after the
waters have resumed their usual limits
before the manufacturers along the river
banks can get to work. The Inhabitants
of the inundated districts suffer terribly,
the principal needs being provisions, bed
ding and clothing. From some of the
smaller towns came appeals for medicines,
and it is feared that as the waters subside
there will be prevalence Of typhoid and
malarial fevers. The Cinninnati Commer.
csal- Gazette prints detailed report of
the losses by the food at Lawrenceburg,
Indiana, which foots up $435, 900.
Governor Lowry, of Mississippi, re-
turned to Jackson yesterday from the Sun.
flower country. He thinks there will be
no overflow of the Yazoo Valley this
season. "The banks on the Yazoo, Tai.
lahatchee and Sunf1ower rivers are above
water now, at an average of from four to
twelve feet in heighth, and people along
the stream feel no apprehension whatever
of an overflow"
Great CONSERVATION is reported in Mil
waukee because of an impending water
famine, the inlet of the water works being
clogged with ice, and only SOC, 5000 gallons
remaining in the reservoir. The water
works were stopped from Monday mid
night until last evening, when they were
restarted, but no water flowed. The supply
in the reservoir is barely sufficient for the
average consumption of half a day.

A PASSIONATE MANS CRIME.

nan, But Murdering Another.
A coroner's jury held an inquest in the
case of Charles Fulfcrd, who was shot and
killed by John Hamlip, a Swede, at Niles
Valley, six miles north of Wellsboro. Full.
ford was a resident of Erwin, Centre
county, N. Y, but recently no moved TO
this state, entering the employ of
Messrs. Bennett & Dimon, lumbermen at
Niles Valley.
John Hamlin has been at work for some
time for the same lumber firm and is re-
ported to be man of violent temper. He
is known to have made threats against
another employee named Leib, with whom
he had some difficulty, and, it is alleged
procured the weapon, with which he
killed Fulford, for the purpose of killing
Leib. Last Sunday, being under the in
fluence of liquor, he renewed his threats
against IIieb and was seen lurking about
tho mill, where he expected, according to
the usual custom, to find Leib. Failing in
that, Hamlin went to Smiths house and
insulted Fu!ford's wife, who ordered him
out of the room. He then entered another
room, and, taking bottle from his pock-
ct, invited Fulford, with the rest of those
present, to drink with him. They all
refused, whereupon Hamlin drank and
threw his bottle behind the stove, and,
going of doors, began firing his revolver.
Fulford stepped to the door and re
quested him to stop, as the noise would
disturb Mrs. Smith, who was sick in the
house. Hamlin Immediately turned and
began firing at Fulford. The first shot
took effect in the door casing, but the
second struck Fulford in the right breast,
passing through the lung and penetrating
the heart. Fulford died few minutes
afterward Hamlin was apprehended and
lodged in iail.

aud that he would open upon it if he was

This is q clear enough intimation that
an arrangement had been made by the
Standard company with the Pennsylva-
ni6oficials by which the suit of the state
had been cmasculated. Who could they
have been The pointing is clearly
I enough to the attorney generals office,

1fiable suspicion. But when it is remem
sbered that q case stated was made,
in which the people of the oil
region have heretofore freely declared

there certainly is a charge made in this
testimony which so bears against the
attorney general, or his assistants in
charge of this suit, that it needs to be
nromptly met. Attorney General Pal
mer enjoys the reputation of being an
honest man, and we believe him to be
one who will not rest easy under the
imputation made against his Office in
Patterson's testimony, which we hope
now reaches him for the first time. We

Levi Coy 10 . stone mason residing on
State street just back of Concert Hall block,
with his wife and four children. Yesterday
morning, As nearly as can be ascertained, he
took a heavy dose of morphine with the in
tention Of committing self-murder. Safur-
day night it is asserted he went out on
spree with one of his companions, returning
shortly after the O'Clock bell rung. 1t is
thought that he drank some liqnor before
coming home. Sunday, in the morning, he
complained of feeling i'll; had pain about
the stomach and other troubles Medicine
was procured of which he took several doses.
During the day he felt better and was up and
around the house. The next morning he
was not well again and his wife Carried him
IN cooky. While the man was partaking
Of that he remarked to his wife, This is the
last food we shall eat together" She asked
him what he meant. In reply he said, IL
wont live until you are dead Some fur
Their conversation took place between them.
During the forenoon the wife got him up and
made his bed. At times he would talk in
corherently and wildly. Shortly before IL
NJ. the man became insensible and black in
the face. His breathing was also very
labored. The wife becoming alarmed sent
for physician. In about an hour DR.
Croker arrived and Immediately pronounced
it case Of poisoning from morphine, all the
symptoms pointing that way. The Doctor
at once took active measures to eounteract
the effects of the poison. A solution of
Atropine, well known antidote for opium
poisons. was injected into one of the patients
arms and about half pint of blood was
drawn from one arm. Other measures were
taken for the relief of the patient, but he
continued to lay in a lethargic condition all
the afternoon being entirely bereft of his
senses and all feeling. DR.. Crooker again
visited him about 10 o'clock last evening and
found slight Improvement in the condition
of the patient. He breathed easier and
would move his hands when pinched or
otherwise disturbed, but would not talk. His
situation was at the best a dangerous one,
and the physician could give no assurance of
his recovery. No cause can be assigned for
the rash act. There had never been any
trouble in the family. 1t could not be dis
covered on inquiry that Coy had purchased
any morphine at the drug stores nor could
aBy paper or vial which might have con-
tanned the poison be found around the house.
Coy is So years of age.
