ing the federal troops at Monterey re-
ceived orders from the City of Mexico
Thursday to depose Acting Governor SeIul-
Teda and place the state of Nueyo Leon
under martial law. Governor Sepulveda
refused to vacate his office, and Friday
night Gen Reyes received orders to remove
him by force and take possession of the
archives of the ofiice. He undertook to ex-
ecute the order during the night, at the
head of 200 soldiers, but was repulsed by
Governor Sepulveda, with q loss of three
killed and several wounded.
Saturday, however, Acting Governor
Sepulveda concluded to surrender, and, on
notifying Gen. Reyes that he would do SO,
he was taken prisoner and placed in the
military prison. Gen. Reyes then publicly
proclaimed martial law over the state and
assumed the military governorship, he hay
ing been appointed to that position by the
national senate of the City of Mexico.
The arrival of Gen Trevino is still anx-
iously looked for, and it is thought by
some that when he arrives the civil
government can be peacefully re-estab-
lished. Fears are now expressed for the
safety of Gov. Scpulveda, as he will doubt
less be held responsible for the killing of the
federal troops i'll the action Friday night.

Biphtheria Spreading in New York.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-THE board of health
authorities say diphtheria is spreading, and
that without the hearty cooperation Of the
public and the medical profession, it will
get beyond control. This week eases have
been reported from every part of the city.
The disease is quite as serious as smallpox,
and its recent ravages puzzle the doctors.
They say that the practice of keeping the
body of one who has died with diphtheria in
the house for some time is II source of con
tagion, and people who come to mourn help
to scatter the germs of the malady. Circu-
lars describing the disease and giving in
structions about combating it are being dis

TWIN BROTHERS AS PREACHERS
One Changes His Doctrine and Friends
Fear for the Other.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec l4-There is lust
now cool deal of comnotion in Methodist
circles in Wisconsin One of their bright
est, ahlest, and most popular minister's the
Rev. Henry Faville, who has been pastor of
a church at Oshkosh for year or more has
signiied his intention to withdraw from
that church and enter the Congregational
ministry. The change is greatly deplored
by his Methodist brethren. His twin brother,
the Rev. John Faville, is pastor of the Di-
vision street church, Fond du Lac,
serving his second or third year.
These two gentlemen resemble each
other SO closely that they have
TO be seen together to tell one from the
other. They graduated from the district
school together, dressed alike, entered
Lawrence university at the sans
time, graduated at the same time, went to a
Theological institute together, graduated
together, entered the Methodist min
istry at the same time, were received into
the Wisconsin conference together, both
were married on the same day, and the day
John preached his first sermon, Henry
preached his. One cause for uneasiness
on the part of the Methodist people
is found in the fact that the two broth
ers look so much alike, there is IA prob
ability that the Fon du Lac minister
will follow the footsteps of his Oshkosh
brother, Henry has accepted IA call to
preach for the Congregationalsts of Osh-
kosh This can be said of the Faville twins:
They will honor any denomination with
which they may cast their lot, and the com
munity which can claim them for citizens is
to be congratulated.

Yesterday. "Granulated is now selling at

81 cents a couple of weeks ago. What
caused the rise? Well, l don't really
know, although several causes are assigned.
One reason is that the area of land cult
waited in France and Germany this year is
twenty per cent less than last year, when
there was q tremendous production. Great
Britain, America and the cane sugar grow
ing countries are the only ones that use
cane sugar now, nearly the whole Of Europe
consuming that made from the beet. The
rise will, Of course, tall rather heavily upon
