NEW PROVIDENCE.


Our little neighbor across Red
river did not get the benefit of the
first storm, but it never suffers
itself to be entirely out done by
GAINESVILLE, and it came in for a
share of tornado No. 2. All of the
tin on the rear roof of r. II. Wal
ker q Co.'S. tobacco warehouse was
taken off. A brick store house
belonging to p. G. Hamburger had
its roof damaged. The negro Bap-
fist church was considerably demol-
ished. A house belonging to Mrs.
John Leigh was made a total wreck,
and the wall of Mr.. w. III. Burgess
dining room was blown in. The
store house formerly occupied ty
Berry Lyle was slightly damaged.
A chicken coop was lodged in a tree
at Mrs. Trice's, and blown out again
Tuesday night. The CHRONICLE
reporter is very much indebted TO
Mr.. Chris. Smith, a very accommO-
dating young gentleman of New
Providence, who assisted him very
materially in gathering the facts
about the damage done in that place.
THE COUNTRY.
We have heard it rumored that
Mr.. William Harrelson's barn was
blown down. He lives several
miles north of New Providence. 1t
is also reported that Mr. Burks, in
the same locality, had two mules
killed in stable that was toppled
over.
ESTIMATED DAMAGE.
The entire damage sustained in
this city will not exceed $4,000.
We give below an estimate of the
principal losses.

THE OTHER SIDE

of the street, Messrs. Coulter Bros,
r. S. Broaddus and G. NJ. White
side were the chief sufferers. The
roof from Coulter Bros.'s building
was entirely removed and those of
the other two partially so. Some
of the timbers from these roofs fell
on the iron roof of building on the
north side of Strawberry Alley and
knocked hole in it that you could
throw wagon and team in.
The damage done further up
Franklin street was very slight.
Some brick were blown in from one
of the east walls of DR.. McCauley'S
residence and fell through on his
dining table. Several trees were
blown down i'm Mr.. Matt Gracey's
yard, and one of them fell against
a window, breaking it in. The
porch in front of the place known as
the Currant house, just beyond the
public school building, was blown
down.
No damage was done to Elders
Opera House except the breaking
of three front windows up stairs.
Mr.. ROhner's jewelry store in the
lower part of this building made
miraculous escape. The debris of
timbers and tin from the dislodged
roofs ON the other side of the street
were piled in front of this door so
as to completely obstruct the en-
trance, but for some unaccountable
reason no injury was done and the
glass in the large front windows
was not even cracked. 1t was as
tonishing how some buildings COM
paratively protected were injured
by the wind while others took the
whole force of the storm without
hurt. The brick house under the
hill behind the First National
Bank building had it gables blown
in and its chimneys toppled over
while the Franklin House, that is
much more exposed and elevated,
suffered no damage worth speaking

Animal Intelligence.

The traveller Brehm encountered in
Abyssinia a number of balloons which
were crossing a valley; they were at
tackled by the dogs, but the old males
Immediately hurried down from the
rocks, and with mouths widely opened,
roared so fearfully that the dogs re-
treated. They were again encouraged
to the attack; but by this time all the
baboons reascended the heights, ex-
cepting young one about, six months
old, which loudly calling for aid
climbed on block of rock and was sur
rounded.
One of the largest of the male, true
hero, came down again from the noun
tain, slowly went to the young one,
coaXed him and triumphantly led him
away, the dogs being too much aston
ished to make all attack. On another
occasion an eagle seized young mon
key, which, by clinging on to branch,
was not carried off at once. 1t cried
loundly for help; upon which the other
member of the troop, with much up
roar, rushed to the rescue, surrounded
the eagle, and pulled out so many
feathers that he no longer considered
his prey, but how to escape.

Allen G.. Thurman.

Despite the dyspeptic dependency of
the politicians, the democratic party
will find many good names for consid-
Grafton in connection with the nomina-
alton. Along with the name of Bay
ard, Ohio democrats will not fail to turn
and consider the name of that broad,
strong, liberal, and study Ohio states
man, Allen G. Thurman, whose hold
upon the masses of the people is tow
er of strength. These two were together
pioneers and upholders of democracy
when they seemed but lingering relics
of dead past party, instead of what they
were-the valiant leaders of great and
growing new party, based on the neces-
sity for recurrence to and application
anew of old principles. When the
great democratic party was SO weak in
congress that its wise and bold leaders
could but appeal to the people, Thur
man stood like rock against fanatical
madness, and under his guidance de-
mOcracy grew so that for ten years it
has been a majority party throughout
the country upon popular count.

That Wabash Receiyership.

The st. Louis Globe-D Democrat, on
the authority of Mr.. HI. M. Hoxie,
third vice-president of the Missouri
Pacific and Wabash system, says: 1.-THE
reports as to receiver for Wabash are
without foundation. 1t is the opinion
of the gentlemen who conduct its af-
fairs that the immediate placing of the
road in the hands of a receiver is le-
gal impossibility. Wabash is leased by
the Iron Mountain, and the terms pro-
vide that the Iron Mountain guarantee
the payment of the fixed charges ofthe
Wabash. But if the earnings are not
sufficient to meet the interest on the
bonds the Iron Mountain may allow
the interest to be defaulted, and if per-
mitted to continue for six months the
lease is forfeited. In that event appli-
cation for a receiver might be in order.
The interest for May has been paid
and, as far as known, no default on tire
June interest is contemplated.

Mr.. Heller on the Tariff.

Mr.. Heller, of Napoleon, being in the
city, Beereporter called at the Burnett
House and found the gentleman quietly
reading the morning papers. On being
interrogated as 70 the political situation
in the 9th district he said he believed
everything was moving along satisfac-
tory and harmonious.
What are yourprospect for a nomina-
ton for Congress?
A this time that would be difficult to
determine, but consider the outlook
fair.
What are your views on the tariff?
That sir is very profound question
and one that is exercising the minds of
our wisest and best statesmen.
What is your opinion of the Morri-
son Bill?
am decidedly in favor of "Tariff Re-
form," but am opposed to discriminate
ing in favor of one class to the detri-
ment of another. The agricultural in
terests of this country should be fairly
dealt with, and to have done them JUS
tice the Act of March 8, 1883, reducing
the tariff on wool 3 1'3 cents per pound
should have been repealed and the old
tariff of 1867 restored, before final action
was taken on the Morrison bill. Had
that been done think the bill would
have been passed.
1t is certainly tjust to the farmers
of this country that they be compelled
to stand reduction of 81 cents per
pound on their wool in advance (the
only article which they produce on
which there is any protection, and then
again the same reduction of 20 per cent.
as other manufacturing interests, many
of which are still protected by the high
war tariff of 1865. 1t looks to me but
just and fair that the agricultural inter-
ests should be placed on an equality
with those of the manufacturing. And
then if horizontal reduction of 20 pei
cent. or any other amo int is made il
would affect all interests equally, al
though I think many articles on the list
could stand a much larger reduction,
and many go off entirely with great
benefit to the country. At this juno
ture Mr.. Heller left for the train.

"AlmOst Persuaded"
From the indianapolis Times.


Gen. Hartsuff, who at one time COM
manded the Army of the Ohio, used to
tell good one on Gen. Manson. When
they were down at the front Gen.
Hartsuff secured ten gallons of fine old
whisky. The morning after its arrival
Gen. Manson rode up to Hartsuff7s tent
on official business.
"Good morning, general; dismount," )"
said Hartsuff.
"Can't do it,n said Manson; II have
to ride my lines"
"But l have pint of fine old whisky,
and"
"Hold my horse, orderly" inter-
rupted Manson, who was in the tent be-
fore the sentence could be finished.
Manson drank about half the contents
of the flask, and handing it back, said:
'Put that away carefully; it is pre-
cious stuff, and the army cannot afford
to have it wasted"
"All right, general; but you must
come back every day until the whole
pint is gone"
"Count on my presence" said Man
son as he mounted his horse, andhe
kept his word for the next five or six
days. At the end of six days the pint
flask was still full, and when it was
passed to the general, he held it up and
said:
"Hartsuff, have never been much of
a Christian, but this almost persuades
me, because it is like the Widows cruise;
it is fine whisky, but great heavens,
how it does hold out for a pint"

Why the Internal Revenue War TaIas
Should Be Abolished.
[From the Doylestown Democrat

The internal revenue should be
cleaned out and not q dollar of il left
This tax comes from labor, and is bur-
den to that amount. About $50, ,000, ,00O
are raised from whiskey; it only puts a
cent on the price and has not dimin-
ished its use. 1t has built up mon-
strous whiskey monopoly, strong
enough to enter Congress and try to
control legislation. Whiskey is not a
luxury, but necessary, and without il
science, the arts, and many branches OF
mechanism could not be carried on. II
is mistaken idea that the tax is only
paid by the whiskey maker; he puts the
tax on the buyer from him, and so on
down the scale until it reaches the
shoulders of labor.
Tobacco is not a luxury, but neces-
sary, if we are to judge by the number
of persons who use it-nearly every one
you meet. Is there any reason why a
farmer should not grow tobacco with as
little restraint as corn or potatoes? He
cannot under the Revenue law, for the
eyes of paid spies are always upon him,
and he is never trusted.
The law is one of the most prenicious
ever made. 1t creates crime, otherwise
unknown, and drags those charged
with violating the law hundreds of
miles to a United States court.
The machinery of the Internal Rev.
enue law is as expensive as oppressive,
costing the taxpayers $5,0O0,O0 a year
to keep it up. and creating above l, 200
officeholders. Besides, the money
raised from the taxpayers by this harsh
law is not needed by the Government.

The Double Hanging.

Sheriff J. M. Brown, of Wood, who
hanged Bach last fall, and Sheriff Fred.
Aller, of Henry, who is to hang John
son next Friday, were in the city last
evening, having just arrived from Ash
land. They said that Gribben was
drunk and unable to stand up. Alle1
held him while Brown adjusted the
moose. A few minutes after the drop
fell the riotous crowd outside had bro
ken through the line of soldiers, after
wounding several of them, tore down
the entire enclosure where the execu-
ton took place, and took full possession
oi the Jail. The sheriff found it neces-
sary to take the ropes off the dead mems
necks to save them, and carry their
bodies up on the scaffold. They say
that they never beheld such disorder
ly crowd of people and such a timid
crowd of soldiers. The reporter sug-
gested to Sheriff Aller that the Cadets
and Sixteenth regiment would be able
to control any crowd that might as.
semble at Napoleon, and it would be
well to call them out. He coincided
with this view, and they will probably
be on duty there the 29th.

FoLGER'S PANIC RELIEF PLANS
NOT APPROVED.
No Authority for Buying Four Per
Cents. at Present.

WASHINGTON, May IA statement
published this morning to the effect
that the conference held yesterday by
the treasury officials, with view OF
devising some means of relief for the
panic stricken brokers of Wall street,
resulted in a decision in favor of the
secretary going into the market and
purchasing 4 per cent. bonds to the
amount of thirty or forty millions, has
stirred up little breeze around the
house end of the capitol today, which
is anything but good natured toward
the treasury officials.
Judge Culbertson, of the judiciary
committee, and probably one of the
ablest lawyers In the house, said that
the secretary had no authority in law
whatever to do any such thing; that
he could not, under the existing law,
go into the market and buy bonds at a
premium when there were bonds due;
that it was clearly the duty of the de-
partment to take up the bonds due up
on which no premium could be de-
manded.
Mr.. Bland said that there had been
a call issued for per cent bonds due.
ABOUT SZOO,OOO,O00 are now due and
ought to be paid. The house ought to
impeach the secretary for not paying
them before this. He has no power or
discretion under the law in the matter,
other than to redeem the bonds now
due.
Senator Beck said while it was true
that the secretary under q fair con-
StructiOn and an honest administration
the market and buy bonds at prem
ium, there was no penalty attached il
he choose to do so, and that that was
what he has been trying to remedy for
sometime. 1.-THE secretary,n continued
the senator, "can do as he pleases with
the money in the treasury, and 1 don't
see how we are going to help ourselves.
1t is wrong and ought to be provided
against by laW.n

Farm and Garden.

| BY STEAM.-A Maryland man has
introduced a novel method of blowing
by steam. The plows cut seven feet in
width and will plow a strip Of land one
mile in length and seven feet wide i'm
about forty minutes cutting furrow
about seven inches deep.
| WORKING HORSES. Working horses
while it is raining or showing, as is Of
ten done during the plowing season in
the early spring, generally does them
much injury, and seldom If ever is there
any time gained by it. Horses should
be carefully protected from the sudden
showers which are frequent at this time
of the year. Colds, lung fever and SINH
lar diseases are often caused by horses
becoming drenched when they are in a
state of perspiration.
GARDEN AND DOCToR.-'The doctor
will ride on and sigh and sigh, ifhe sees
you have good garden" says an ex-
change. Very true, and why? He sees
very little chance of making a fat fee
out of you. You are in a healthy busi-
ness, and you are growing health giving
food for yourself and family. If all
men made and tended good gardens
and had vegetables and fruits in variety
and abundance, there would be but lit
tie need for DOCTORS services.
YOUNG TREEs.-Young trees planted
in the spring should be watched and
their form regulated by pinching the
shoots that sprout too vigorously and
by breaking off the shoots which start
where branches are not needed. A lit
tie care given to trees while young will
make later pruning unnecessary. A graft
should be regarded as tree planted in
another tree, instead of in the soil, and
its growth needs to be regulated by
proper pinching. Often the growth
from bud will be very vigorous. If
the top of this be pinched it will be-
come stocky and throw out side
branches.
PETROLEUM.-Some one AYERS that
crude petroleum is better for the farm
implements than any sort of paint, and
the cost per gallon is hardly one-tenth
of the cheapest kind. Any farm laborer
can put it on wagons, carts, plows, har-
rows, and other implements, just as well
as the most skilful painter; and it may
be done in stormy weather when out
door work is impossible. Now san ex-
cellent time for it, SO as to allow the
petroleum to dry and harden we'll be-
fore the implements will be wanted for
use in the spring. When it soaks
into the wood freely perhaps it may be
advisable to put on two, or even three
coats. This would last longer and is
done SO easily and quickly as to make
it no great job. The woodwork of inn
plements thus oiled will last very much
longer, making its free use a great
economy to the farmers, besides giving
them nicer appearance, in which all
should take just pride.

THE Republican patty is in power.
From top to bottom, from center to
circumference this party is notoriously,
disgracefully and irredeemably corrupt,
says the GAINESVILLE Signal Whatever
advances are to be made by the Democ-
racy toward capturing the citadel of
government from it's undeserving pos
SCISSORS, must be made ON the line of a
strict adherence to fundamental and cor
rect principle and honesty of purpose
and action. On any other line, the
Democracy will fail. Andit should fail.
The Republican party is apt, and har-
dened in the tricks and villainies of the
age. 1t is not a case in which fire can
be fought with fire. The darkness can
be driven away only by bringinga light.
