THE FLOWER Room.
1t is In Danger of Vanishing in the
South.

~ 40 IA OankCE OA EanlSnluk IN the
South.
OF Mr.. Flowers work for the Chicago
nomination, says a Washington special to
the New York Times, there has been more
or less talk for weeks. 1t has been COM
mon gossip here that he has spent con-
siderable sums of money to retain the
services Of men who have access to the
columns of Southern newspapers, and
that these men have, with a good deal of
skill and much more zeal. managed to
keep Flower in the Southern eye until the
impression has been created that the
future well-being of the nation depends
upon the nomination of Flower. In spite
of this bureau work, the Flower boom
seems to be in danger of vanishing from
the South just as it appears that by
shrewd foresight he has managed to be
named as the second choice in many New
York districts when Mr.. Tilden was the
first choice. Now that Tilden is out of
the way, it is feared that Mr.. Flower will
embarrass the Democracy by insisting
that the second choice shall take the place
of the removed first choice.
The gravitation of sentiment toward
Cleveland has not been checked by letters
from New York Democrats freely exhib-
tied to-day, protesting against the Cleve-
land boom prevalent among Southern and
Western members. These letters urge
reasons cogent only from local point Of
view Of New York City politics and are
literally discounted. They are mani
festly written in the interest of Flower
and apparently have no effect, save to
stimulate the hopes of Mr.. Bayard's
friends, who take them as supplementary
proof Of assurances received from other
sources, that the Flower strength in the
New York State Convention will be will
inglY delivered to the Delaware Senator.

A HUMAN SACRIFICE.
A Boy Murders His Mother and Little
Sister While Insane.

Sister While Insane.
Mrs. William Adolns, a well-to-do
widow, living in North Creek district of
Pendleton county, and her daughter, a
girl ten years old, says Wheeling (W.
Va. special to the Philadelphia Times,
were murdered ON Monday by the Widows
son, Andrew Adoins, aged sixteen. The
boy was recently converted at revival
meeting held in North Creek school house
by Baptist ministers and since that time
has been quite flighty. The AdOins family
did not attend church on Sunday, but this
did not Iattract attention, although they
seldom stayed away. On Monday, how
ever, a neighbOr went to the house and
knocked. Not receiving reply he forced
the door open and found Mrs. Adoins
lying dead on the kitchen floor, with her
head terribly crushed. In an adjoining
passage the daughter was found, with
her throat cut from ear to ear and also
dead. Upon searching further Andrew,
the boy, was discovered crOucbed in a
corner. He appeared very much excited
and was evidently crazy. When ques-
toned he told the following story:
81 had visit from the Lord last night
and he told me to kill them. | crept upon
mother yesterday, as she stood over the
stove, and struck her with a heavy
hammer. She fell down and then l beat
her to make sure she was dead. Sister
came into the kitchen, but when l started
towards her she ran away. / knocked
her down in the passage and cut her
throat with the carving knife"
The affair causes great excitement in
Pendleton county, The boy will be sent
to an insane asylum. The murdered wo-
man and child were buried yesterday.
The funeral was attended by hundreds
from the country for twenty miles
around.

A TRANSPARENT FENCE.

Peculiar Effect of Riding by Some Pal
ings When They are in the Trains
Shadow.
Every person who has been to Oakland
ON the narrow gauge route since the new
depot was opened, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, has, no doubt, noticed the high
fencing that separates the wagon road on
the trestlewOrk from the railroad tracks.
A few weeks ago it was discovered that
by looking out of the windows Of the cars
and steadily at the fence, q full view of
Oakland, the surrounding hills, the
vessels on the creek, and even the sea-
wall, which is comparatively low, could
be distinctly seen. Inquiry disclosed the
fact that the fence was only trans
parent during certain hours of the day
that is, one can only see through it when
the fence is in the shadow of the cars. and
that when the sun was shining on it it
was simply big board fence, shutting
out the view from that side. The fence
itself was inspected. 1t is constructed of
half-inch boards and is closely built, the
boards being only about an eighth of an
inch apart, and the only way that the
matter can be ACCOUNTED for is that the
cracks are all run into one.
1t is the same principle that prevents a
person from seeing the spokes on the big
wheel of bicycle that is being driven fast
and which enables one to see clear
through the wheel as if it were a large

as highly beneficial for persons suffering
from pulmonary affections. Recently
number of this class of sufferers, who
had been temporarily benefited by
sojourn in Florida, were ordered to New
Mexico and found immediate relief
through the rare, dry atmosphere
and equable temperature. A scheme
is now on foot to erect a
sanitarium for consumptives in the
neighborhOod of Santa Fe and the enter
prise has been taken up by the Episcopal
lians, under whose auspices the institu-
tion will be conducted. 1t is proposed to
raise a fund of $1,000 for the purpose
and it is thought the sum can be secured
by subscriptions from the various West
ern and Eastern dioceses. The Rev. Ed
ward W. Meany, rector of the Episcopal
Church of Santa Fe, has, at the re-
quest of his Yestry, consented to pre-
sent the subject to the dioceses of the
leading cities, and will, after visiting
Chicago and Buffalo, come to New York
and explain to the Episcopal Church au-

the establishment of the sanitarium, Mr..
Meany will, after leaving New York, pro-

AN INDIAN SKELETON FOUND.
Supposed Relic of an OId-Time Massa
ere in Lehigh County,

ere in Lehigh County.
Last week, while workmen were en-
gagged in opening a new cement quarry at
Egypt, Lehigh county, Pa, says the
South Bethlehem Star, they dug up a
human skeleton in almost complete pre-
servation. Only few of the smaller
bones are decomposed, while the skull and
the trunk and limbs are in good coEdition.
The skeleton was but three feet under
ground, seemed to be in sitting position,
and was covered with two large slate
slabs. The frame is that of a large man,
and it is supposed to have been that of an
Indian.
In 1853 the Indians committed frightful
depredations at Egypt, which was one of
the earliest settlements in what is now
Lehigh county. On the Sth of October,
1853, party of fifteen Indians suddenly
appeared in the settlement and attacked
the house of Nicholas Marks, whom they
killed. His wife and an apprentice boy
made their escape, though twice fired
upon by the Indians, and proceeded to the
house of Adam Deshler, where there were
twenty men under arms. These imme-
diately went in pursuit of the enemy. In
their progress they visited the farms of
Jacob Mickey, where they found a boy
and girl lying dead, the girl scalped, and
of Hans Snyder, where they found
him and his wife and three children dead
in the field and three girls, one dead,
another wounded and the third scalped.
On their return to Deshler's they found
the wife of Jacob Allemang with a child
dead in the road. The houses of Marks
and Snyder were both burnt. Adam
Deshler's house was a large two-story
stone building, the walls OF which were
remarkably thick During the Indian
war it was a place of refuge for the whole
neighborhood, and was called the fort.
1t was the headquarters of the inhabi-
tantS, from whence proceeded such par
ties as described above.

JOHN KELLY.
,he way the Elaine Men Talk of Him.

The Way the Blaine Men Talk of Him.
The Democrats of New York, says a
Washington special, and particularly MIR.
John Kelly, will probably not be pleased
to hear how the Blaine men talk about
him. Already Mr.. BIaine's intimate
friends are speaking most confidently
about Mr.. Kelly as a valuable ally. They
look to him to become their powerful sup
porter in New York city, and talk of Mr..
Kelly as Democrat whose constant aim
it is to discover some preteXt upon which
he can continue a Republican President
in power by the continuation of his own
political supremacy. With this belief,
the Blaine men are hoping that
Cleveland will be nominated, as they
feel quite sure that Mr.. KeIly's
allegiance to the National Democratic
party is so frail, so subordinated to feel
ing of personal spite, so much slighter
than his desire to crafty a revenge, that
ne will throw away the possibility of Sc
curing a national victory in order to COM
pass a triumph in New York city and the
downfall of Gov. CleYeland. Nominate
Cleveland" said an intimate friend of
Mr.. Blaine, Hand John Kelly will assure
us majority in the State of New York"
To those who know Mr.. Kelly's sensitive
ness to such reflections this boast will be
regarded as an empty one. Democrats
who are becoming enthusiastic over the
improving chances of the party are un-
willing to believe that Mr.. Kelly is ambi-
tious to be forever regarded as the STUN
bling block in the way of Democratic
harmony and success.

Senior PIanas, Son of the Minister of the

Senior Francisco Maria Planas, of Tegu-

Minister of the Interior of that State,
says the New York World of the 14th
inst, stopped two days in this city, and
sails to-day on the City of Rome for Eu-
rope. He was seen yesterday by repor-
ter, who asked him about the political
and commercial situation of Honduras.
"Our country is in fiOurishing cOndi-
tion," he said. 'The President, Louis
Bogran, was elected by a unanimous
vote, and his government will doubtless
create satisfaction and be of material
benefit to the republic, insuring harmony
and peace with sister republics. Not
withstanding the impoverished condi-
tion of the country when he as
sumed the reins of. government.
the march of progress has continued with
lattering results to business in general.
He is gentleman of strong character and
advanced IDEAS, and always advocates
with zeal the rights of humanity. Sur
rounding himself with an able and excel
lent Ministry, he made his government
the best ever given to Honduras. Citi-
zens of the United States there
enjoy the encouraging privileges
of free and open country, and
the government favors the extension of
commercial relations with the United
States. The importations now consist of
manufactured goods, agricultural ma
chinery, pork, lard, beef, ETC., while ore,
silver, hides, deer-skins, coffee, indigo
and sugar are exported. Port Caballos,
on the Atlantic shore, is connected by a
railroad with San Pedro, which is to be
continued to Amapola, thus shortening
the distance between New Orleans and
the Pacific port about 800 miles. The
republic has mail post in perfect rum
nlng order and about 1,500 miles of tele-
graph lines"

WHITE TROUSERS.
Happy West Point Boys, and What the
President's Delay Cost Them.

OShay cost Ihem.
Instead of reaching here early this
morning, says a West Point special of the
18th inst. to the New York World, Presi-
dent Arthur did not arrive until after .
O'Clock tonight and the unexpected delay
cost each cadet at least go cents. SSme of
the more reckless cadets lost as high as 50
cents. The losses incurred are in the
matter of trousers. These garments are
an especial West Point institution and re-
fleet the social status, the personal stand
ing and the financial prospect of the wear
ers. The trousers are of white duck,
and, as a Western Congressman remarked
to-day, look somewhat like the neither
garments which ordinary civilians are ac-
custOmed TO wear. Great care has 20 be
exercised in keeping them clean, and
during examination term the cadets are
accustomed TO change six times a day.
Trousers once worn cannot be again
donned until they have been relaundried,
and this costs 20 cents per pair. So. In
expectation of Mr.. Arthur's arrival. the
average young man used up three more
pairs than he otherwise would have done,
unless, of course, he were receiving ad-
dresses from some one of the throng of
fair devotees that haunt Filtration Walk.
Then the thought of the laundry
woman's fees is flung to the breeze
That trousers really form a kind
OF social thermometer is evidenced
by the talk OF the cadets themselves. One
young soldier asks another whether Cor
poral n. is not a pretty good fellow
''Weh, comes the hesitating reply, 81
really don't know. But l have heard that
he has not got forty pairs of trousers to
his name." AS the average cadet i'm good
standing boasts from sixty to eighty
pairs, the unfortunate Corporal is of
course sent to Coventry.
AT recent meeting of the board this
problem of trousers was wrestled with
and new rule was adopted, limiting the
amount OF money which a student was
permitted to spend for laundry work.
This rule is now printed and embodied in
the code, and parents can trust their sons
at West Point with no fear of having
them spend their patrimony ON riotous
duck trousers.

DIsCIPLrNING A SNAKE.

How Two Birds Resented His Intrusion
and Escorted Him OF the Premises,
1t is but fair to snakes to state that,
though ] have often been scared by them,
they have now and then amused and in
terested me. To give an instance in their
favor, says a writer in London Society,
one dag was sitting with friend in his
veranda, when chattering, kissing mass
fell from the thatch roof down to the broad
path, so necessary round a dwelling in
lands where grass fires are frequent, and
would, but for this precaution, be likely
to come roaring for admittance at the
threshold. Well, this roll of living mat
ter fell, and natural antipathy running
through my nervous system like an
electric current, warned me that
snake, though undistinguish-
able, was in this bundle:
self and went across the path, much inn
must have caught him poaching in their
seeing him safe off the premises; and on
his way into the thick refuge of grass, for
which he was hurrying against adverse
circumstances, the birds were giving
him a piece of their minds in aggravated
twitter language. He could not stand and
give fight, for the moment he looked right
an angry beak nipped his left side; on
turning to the left he received a peck on
his smooth ripping skin from the infuri-
ated parent to the right. On and on went
the party, the brave birds worrying the
snake until the grass was reached, and
then they left him.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
How an Alabama Lady Welded a Lover
in Jail.

A beautiful romance was brought to a
happy ending to-day, says a Chattanooga
special of the 18th inst. to the Nashville
american. Some time since a young man
named Girard was sentenced to the work
house for year for striking station
house keeper. Girard was on a spree at
the time. Some time since the County
Judge received a letter from his
betrothed, Miss Ehrler, of Brming-
ham, Ala, saying that they had
been engaged tor three years, and
urging him to use his influence to have
the young man pardoned. He had
nine months yet to serve, but his
conduct had been so mer1torious
that it was decided to relinquish sthe re-
mainder of the sentence. Today the
young lady arrived. The young man
knew nothing Of the pardon or her ex-
pected arrival until few moments before
she came, and was fairly crazed with ioy.
The girl came to the stockade in a close
hack, accompanied by the County Judge
and Rev. j. w. Bachman. The Judge
had the couple join hands and read the
pardon. The minister then made the
twain one, and the romance ended. The
lady is refined and highly accomplished,
and the young man a skilled civil en-
gineer.

CONGRESS- WEEKS WORK.
How the Appropriation Bills will Fare
in the Lower House.


WASHINGTON, June 15.-In the House
of Representatives tomorrow, after the
usual Monday call of States for the intro
duction Of bills, it will be in order for
committees to move to suspend the rules
for the immediate passage of selected bills
lone from each committee }, or the assign
ment OF special days for their consldera-
tion. The unfinished business at ad-
journmeut yesterday was the bill to
compel land grant railroads to pay
the cost of surveying and patenting
lands. 1t is, therefore, entitled to come
up as the regular order on Tuesday. but
the question of consideration will be
raised against it by members in charge of
various other bills which have been made
the special orders for that day, including
the bill providing for the forfeiture of the
backbone (LOuisiana) Railroad land
grants and the bill to prohibit the impor-
tation of contract labor. The meas
ure to regulate the Presidential count
is also unfinished business, and
its friends will try to secure
its consideration day after day until 1t
shall be finally disposed of. The Senate
bill to provide accommodation for the
national library and the House bill to
amend the Thurman sinking fund act are
also deferred special orders and either of
them may secure enough votes for con-
sideration this week. The general de-
ficiency appropriation bill, however,
awaits action on the House calendar, and
is likely to push aside any other measure
when ths Appropriations Committee
insist upon it. Mr.. Randall hopes to be
able to report the sundry civil bill this
week, and it will be called up for consid-
GRAFTON as soon as possible after the pas
sage of the deficiency appropriation bill.
The army appropriation bill will be re-
ported to the Senate from the Committee
on Appropriations tomorrow, and will
probably be taken up and passed Tuesday
or Wednesday. The legislative appro-
priation bill will probably be reported to
the Senate Wednesday or Thursday, but
may not be called up for discussion
before next week, Beyond this the course
OF legislation in the Senate cannot be pre-
