The opening +" of Mr. C. l. Baum
gartner's new store, corner of Union and
Coryell streets, in this city, was very
suspicious. The store was crowded
during the day and evening, and the
parcels carried away showed that the
ladies did not come merely to look.
Every lady that called received beau
tiful present. The Trenton Daily EN-
porium, in speaking of Mr.. B., says:
"Mr. G. |. Baumgartner, the enterpris
ing dry goods merchant of this city, has
opened a branch store at Union and Cor
yell streets, Lambertville. Mr.. Baum,
gartner is one of those merchants who
does business fairly aud squarely, and the
people of Lambertville can rely upon
him.

THE TELEPHONE SCANDAL.

The New York Sun insists that
Mr.. Garland, the Attorney General,
and Mr.. Lamar, the Secretary Of the
Interior, are involving President
Cleveland's administration in scan
dal because Garland owns stock in
the Pan Electric Telephone Compa-
ny, and Lamar endorses the Attor-
ney Generals opinion that the Gov
eminent ought to bring suit against
the Bell Telephone Company to set
aside their patent as having been OBJ
tanned fraudulently because Bell was
not the original inventor. The Pres
ident opposes the suit being brought
by the Government, and the Sun
thinks therefore he should reorgan-
ize his cabinet by leaving Garland
and Lamar out. The New York
Times, Republican, defends the Pres
ident, also Messrs. Garland and La
mar, and says there is nothing in the
so-called scandal worthy of the Sc
rious aspect the Sun would give it.
Northern journals are disposed to
magnify the matter, although it is
said that there are serious doubts as to
The validity of the patent of the Bell
Telephone Company. Upon the
strength Of this, company was form
ed on paper called the Pan Electric
Telephone Company, and many
shares of stock were given Senators
Garland, Harris and Vest, General
Joe Jonston, Casey Young, member
Of Congress from Tennessee, and j.
ID. G. Atkins, now Of the Interior De-
partment. There was nothing Grim
inal in these gentlemen receiving
this stock, but when Garland, became
Attorney General he should have re-
linquished this stock, before the suit
was brought in the name of the gov
eminent. Solicitor Goode ordered
the suit during the Attorney Gener-
al Garland's absence, and then it be-
came the duty of the Secretary Of the
Interior to have the Validity of the
Bell patent tested by the courts. OF
course an investigation cannot hurt
the legal rights Of anybody, but will
expose fraud or remove suspicion Of
fraud on the part of the Bell Tele.
phone Company.
Garland is man above reproacl
and is incapable Of using the govern
ment to advance his private inter
ests.

BLIND sTAeegRs

Mr.. John w. Allgood. one OF our Oldest
and best citizens, gives us the following
remedy for blind staggers in horses, which
he says he has tried repeatedly and it al
ways gives relief and cures in three hours
time. He says, pour tablespoonful of
liquid camphor in each ear of the animal
and tie q cord around the ear so that the
horse or mule can't shake out the camphor.
This is very simple remedy and one which
should be tried. We hear of quite q num-
Der of mules and horses dying recently in
this county from this disease. This remedy
has also been tested with hogs and COWS
with the same good results.

TINE howard MURDER.

There are no new developments in the
Howard murder since our last issue. except
that Joe Haywood, colored who was arrest
ed charged with the crime, had his prelimin-
airy trial on last Friday before Justice Vim.
R. N. Holland represented the prisoner,
and Joe B. Alexander and w. R. Power the
prosecution. A number of witnesses APP
peared. but there was no material fact eliei-
ted save that Haywood was still unable to
account for his whereabouts that night dur.
ing his absence from home, and his shoes
fitted the tracks made leading across Mr..
Camps and DIR. Stewaits fields to the Dali
las road. This evidence was considered
sufficient to bind Haywood over, and he was
committed to Jail to await March term Of
Superior Court The Court House was
crowded with negroes of both sexes, who
had abandoned work in their excitement to
gather all the information they could about
the murder and as to the probable murder

FOUR.HANDED.

A child born in the family of John
Curling, of Long Island City, New
York, on Thursday, has four hands.
The child is boy, and to all appear
ances is perfectly healthy. Every
thing about it is natural, with the ex-
ceptions of the right arm, which has
three hands attached to. it. From
the shoulder to the wrist the arm is
double, having two bones in the up
per arm and four bones in the lower.
Two of the hands joined to it are full
ly developed, although but one of
them is normal. The undeveloped
hand is between the other two and
has four fingers, but no thumb. The
fingers are kept tightly clinched,
there being no muscles to extend
them. The inner of theItwo develop
ed hands is the opposite of the hand
on the lett. The third hand has four
fingers and thumb developed, and
has two extra rudimentary fingers.

SHOT AT.

At Elberton, Friday night some
one approached James Algood's house
in the lower part of Ebert county
and made noise that attracted Mr..
AlgoOd's attention and he went to
the door. AS he went to the door
some one from outside fired both bar.
rels of a double-barreled shotgun at
him. Fortunately only shot struck
him, and that in the mouth, knock
ing out some of his teeth. Both
loads entered the door facing, right
by the side Of his head. The party
firing the shot ran of and Mr.. AL
good could not see who it was, but he
suspects a young man with whom he
has had difficulty. The young man
is reported to be missing.

MINOR CREDIT.

1t is the minor form Of credit in
our stores that works so much injury
to our domestic habits. People who
sleep on credit; who wear their
clothes and go to church on q credit
who live on credit in every thing
such people never learn economy.
To pay as you go, is the secret of
prosperity. And on this fact you
may rest, viz whatever self denial
you may practice, unless you rigidly
deny yourself store credit, you are
certain to fail in your household man
agement. Pay as you go or go with

man who was killed in the collision

man ofTexas, claiming to be Mrs. J.
W. Pierce, first put in a claim. But
quite recently an Indiana woman be-
coming satisfied that the man called
J. W. Pierce was her husband, really
named J. Pierce Weaver, who had
left her for Texas two or three years
ago, and had been living there with
another woman, went to Atlanta to
make claim to his effects as his law.
full wife. She described certain un.
mistakable features and marks BY
which she could identify. him, and
when his body was exhumed on last
Wednesday week her description wal
found to be entirely correct, and she
fully identified him. A law suit be.
tween the two women will follow.

OUGHT NOT.

P. D. Armour, the great specula-
tor, is quoted by dispatch from
Chicago as saying the other day that
"the supply of wheat is virtually held
by three men, who bought it in at
low prices, and propose to hold on to
it; that he expects an advance of 20
cents, and that the conditions are
now as they were several years ago,
when he made s3,OO0,OOO in wheat
speculations." Ought the laws Of the
land to permit three men thus to
monopolize and control the prices of
the bread upon which fifty millions of
people live? We think not.

mendous monopoly has been built up,
were procured through the collision
OF patent Office employee, who i'm.
parted to the Bell company certain
valuable information concerning a
previous application for a patent that
covered the invention that Professor
Bell claims to have made. This in.
formation enabled Bell to perfect his
application, and the telephone pat
ents were granted to him by means
Of this collision. This is the charge,

FOUR HOURS SLEEP A WEEK.

Henry johnson, says the Oroville
(Neb.) Register, is stout, robust
young fellow of 20 or p, and, except
being of a restless or nervous dispo-
sition, there is nothing unusual about
him. Some four years ago the young
mar found that he was able to do
with much less sleep than other
young men of his acquaintance. He
could stay up all night at a dance
and not feel the loss of sleep the next
day, or he could read till late hour
and not feel sleepy the next morning.
His need for sleep decreased so much
that he began to number his hours
OF actual wakefnlness during each
week. For the last three months of
1888 he was awake nineteen hours a
day, while by April, 1884, he was
sleeping less than four hours each
night. His health was good, and so
he thought little about not sleeping
as much as formerly. During the
summer and fall of that year he slept
less than three hours each night, but
one day his attention was caught by
an article in the Sacramento Bee,
where it stated that loss of sleep
would cause insanity. He then be-
gan to eat heartily, and would drink
halt a glass of porter before going to
bed. This made no difference about
his sleeping, so he concluded that he
was an exception to the rule and paid
no further attention to his wakeful-
ness until the summer of the present
year, when he found that he was on
ly sleeping four or FIVE hours in the
week.
He came to Oroville one day and
had talk with DIR. IT. W. Service
about himself. The doctor saw that
he was in good health and deemed
that it would be inadvisable to induce
sleep by the use of narcotics.
