How Gen. Barrios was KiIIed.

NEw ORLEANS, April 2s--Fhe Bews
from Guatemala comes in such driblets
that no connected story of Barrios' death
has yet been secured. In late reports 1t
has been said that he was killed by a
Salyadorian sharpshoOter. Information
received to-day ascribes his death to a
traitor among his own troops. He was at
40 time within the line of the Sal
VadOr troops or sharpshoOters. He
was killed at his tent,
considerable distance in the rear of
his troops, who were formed in line of bat
tie with the troops Of Salvador in front of
them. He faced the line of battle when
he was shot, and the bullet entered his
back. Among the Catholics in Central
America much stress is laid on the coin
cidence of the deaths of Gen. CarrenO
and Gen. BarriOs occurring on Holy
Thursday. CarTenO ruled Guatemala in
tyranny for 20 years up TO 1864. Three
peaceful rulers intervened between him
and BarriOs, the next military dictator.

COLOMBIAN TROOPS WITHOUT

The Rebel Leader Refuses to Withdraw
The CitY's Present Safety Entirely
Due TO the American Forces-The
French Consul Poking His Nose Where
Re May Get IL Hurt.
PANAMA, April 28.-There is no doubt
in the public mind here but that the
safety Of the city is due to the promps
action Of Commander McCaLa in taking
charge at the time when formidable
barricades We're being erected and pre-
parahons on large scale were going on
to resist the national troops when they
arrived. Because ofthese preparations, no
doubt exists but that great loss OF
life and property would have
taken place. The moral effect Of oecupa-
ton by the United States troops was very
great. Not q shot has been heard in the
city since they withdrew, but order and
legitimate authority have not vet been re-
established ANY further withdrawal &C
present would be a fatal mistake, the
consequences of which are not caIcula-
bic.
ARRIVAL or GOVERNMENT TROOPS.

diplomatic corps of Bogota, arrived at
Panama this morning with the ma
volunteers from Caucau, under eJEa-

IS hours. Gen. AiZpuru now says thathe
viii fight IL he does not eyacuate the city.
The national troops viii try TO disi0dge
him, and unless the United states troops
interfere the city VIII stand poor chance.
II Gen. Aizpuru remains in the city the
struggle will be indeduitely prolonged.

FORBIDDEN TO MARRY.
The Woes OF "a Couple who We're Kept
Asunder by the Church.


PrrTsBURG, April 27.-Willlam Flynn,
On ex-member Of the Legislature, sought
TO marry Miss Jennie Hood, a pretty
blonde Of IS. He is Protestant and she
is a Catholic, and the parents of Miss
Hood objected TO a union. The bar
rier that this difference built
between them, however, was not
strong enough 10 Keep them
apart, for Flynn continued to visit Miss
Hood at stated evenings OF the week, and
the latter was always at home. The
parents persisted in their objections and
told him 70 cease his visits. Finally the
wOoer was won from his strong con-
viction, and at the end OF five years
course Of lectures 10 the end he consented
to be baptized In the Roman Catholic
faith.
OF course this capitulation, after 30
long a siege, was a signal Of great JOY to
the young lady. and she went at once TO
the episcopal residence, gave word that
she had secured a proselyte and a time
was fixed when she might bring the young
man and the ceremony Of baptism be
solemnized. Under the forms Of the
Catholic religion in cases of this kind,
where the convert has no parents pro-
fessing the same belief IL Is necessary
that some one shall act in that
capacity, become their godfather or
godmOther and pledge themselves to
act In that capacity and keep
"A guardianship over them through
life. This pledge is solemn and binding.
Az the time set for the baptism the two
lovers appeared without attendants aud
the solemn ceremony was gone
through with. When the priest asked
Miss Hood II she was 10 act az
godmOtber the happy young woman
readily aasented, eager that no techni-
cality should delay the contamination or
her wish. When the ceremony was
through the young girl told the priest they
would shortly come before him 10 have
solemniZed a marriage ceremony.
shortly after, when they wanted 30 get
married, the priest refused 10 perform the
ceremony, on the ground that the young
woman having become gOdmother could
not become the wife Of her convert. The
good father c0mfOrted them as best he
could and offered, ae the only consolation
az hand, that perhaps a petition 10 Rome
might abs0lve her from her VOWS. This
advice was acted upon az quickly as
possible. They waited for two years. but
without result, and at hast Miss Hood,
feeling the Injustice OF keeping her fionce
waiting so long, insisted 90 giving him
his release. Since then flynn has mar
ried another lady. The wife lived but q
few months after the wedding, and now

A BIG HOTEL.
The Finest Tavern in the Country to be
in Washington.


in Washington.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-During his
life A. 7. Stewart kad in his mind the
erection Of a mammoth hotel in Washing
ton that should cover an entire block of
ground, and should stand forever
as a monument to his name. The
mantle Of Mr.. Stewart, so far as
such a project is concerned, can
be said to have fallen upon the McLeaus,
of Cincinnati. For several years these
enterprising gentlemen from the West
have mad their eye on the block immedi-
ately opposite the Arlington Hotel,
bounded by Vermont avenue, Fif-
teenth, and | streets. Little by
little they have acquired par
GELS of real estate in that block, and it
was expected that by this time they
would have owned the entire square.
Through some slip in the arrangements,
however, the property known as the old
metropolitan Club, at the corner Of YER
mont avenue and II street, has been
purchased by State Senator Robb, of
New York, who will make a resi-
dence there. The McLeans, however,
nothing daunted, have determined TO
push ahead with their hotel on what land
they can get. The plans VIII be made
with view to the future absorption of
the entire square, and the part that will
be erected at once is expected In itself to
be the finest hotel in the country-such
one as w WashIngtOn ought to have.

Agriculture in the Public Schools.

Huntingdon Farmer and Gazette.
We remember to have read among
the statutes of our State relating to free
schools an act of the Legislature pro-
viding that the elementary principles
of agriculture should be taught in our
free schools. When we take into con-
sideration the fact that probably three
fifths of the male children now in
attendance upon our free schools will
spend their Flyers in agricultural pur>
suits, it would seem that this is very
important provision, and that its re-
quirements should be met by every
school in the State. We have reason,
however, to believe that this important
feature in the education of the children
of the State has been too much neglect
ed. We doubt if many schools in the
State have paid any attention whatever
to this law. The free schools of the
State are under the control of State
Superintendent of Schools, whose duty
it certainly Is to see that the law is
complied with. We should be glad
to know to what extent this has been
done.
We know that under the provisions
of the act referred to text book was
prepared for use in schools by Col.
Killebrew, then Commissioner of Agri.
culture, and Prof, Lupton, of Van
derbilt University, but we have never
vet seen this little book in the hands
Of a school-boy in the State.

DR.. J. 3. RITcHEY, EDITOR.

THE GAINESVILLE Chronicle of Feb
ruary 28th contains an interesting
communication from Col. G. II.
Slaughter, of st. Bethlehem, on "The
Iniquities of the Criminal Court and
Jury System" Col. Slaughter gives
some good reasons why the present
system works hard on the farmers,
and should be amended by the pres
ent session of the Legislature. 1t is
not an uncommon thing for two or
three hundred farmers to be sum-
moned to attend court, from which
number to select twelve men to try a
single case. Each loses a day from
his work without pay, simply to be
told to stand aside. If the sheriff is a
man of discretion he can nearly al
ways tell whether a man is compe-
tent or not, and if satisfied he is not
he should allow him to remain at his
work and go to the next man. If
men are required to quit their work
and attend in such cases they should
be paid from the public treasury for
each day thus lost.
