HEAVY F6RGERIES.
Three Banks YictimIEed 10 the Ex-
tent of $780, 900.

HARRsBURG, Pa, April 2l.-Devel-
opmens to-day indicate that thee of
the banks Of this city have los, SIC, 900
through forged notes presented by
Miss Priscilla B. Mcclure Of this city,
who has always figured in the beat Of
society. The names used as indorsers
were her mother, Margaret Mcclure,
and her brother, William Mcclure,
OF this city, and her cousin, Thomas
Fur'z, Of Bellelonte, all Of whom are
the best OF security. They deny
the Endorsements. The money was o.
tanned in February last, at which time
Miss Mcclure left the city. The notes
fell due few days ago, wnen the
forgery was discovered. Miss Mcclure
is highly connected, and herself and
mother, The later a widow, are in good
circumstances. She was one Of the
leading young ladies ia Pine street
church, and was always looked upon
as model OF modesty and was very
unassuming. 1t is believed there is a
man interested in the case.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY.
A Young Girl Killed by Starvation
and Neglect.

SCRANTON, Pa, April 21.-The trial
of John McApdrews and his wife
on the charge of murder, in having
caused the death Ct thirteen. year
old girl named Mary Gaughan, who
had been intrusted to them some time
ago, is progressing here. Frank
Gaughan, the girls brother, aged
eleven years, testified that she was
sent long distances on her bare feet in
frosty weather; was made to sleep on
the floor on a bed made OF meal
bags, with no covering, and subsisted
entirely on mush. At no time since
last fall was she permitted to wear
shoes or stockings. On the Saturday
evening before she died, McAndrews
heated a poker until it was red and
rubbed it upon her teeth, saying that
II her ghost returned to this world he
would be able to identify her. Frank
last saw mis- sister in the morning of
her death. She was lying on the
floor and had no clothing over her.
She asked him to lift her head upon a
pillow and to place the family dog
upon her feet to keep them warm.
The children of the house maltreated
her, land one day put bit in her mouth
and chased her around the house.
McAndrews.ssid they might kill her
for all he cared. The Sunday before
she died, McAndrews removed Mary's
clothing, put her in a tub of water and
then beat her with horsewhip. This
terrible story was corroborated by the
neighbers, and Coroner Dean, who ex-
ahmed the body OF the child imme-
diately after her death, testified that
che died Of starvation and neglect.

The Texas md Pacific

PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 21.-The
committee for the reorganization of
the Texas and Pacific railroad met in
this city to-day. After long session
it was decided thSt it would be impos-
si5le to reach a plan of reorganization
that even the committee could recon-
mend. 1t was then resolved that a
call should be made for a meeting of
bondholders at an early day to con-
slider a proposition for the purchase of
the Eastern Division of the Texas and
Pacific system. The dissenters at the
meeting were understood to be the
holders OF the consolidated mortgage
bonds, the ms jority of whom reside in
this city. They were asked to accept,
it is stated, a new per cent. for their
present 6 per cent. bond and second
mortgage boad for their past due in
tsrest. Their bonds are secured by
the Eastern Division, which has al
ways earned its interest.

CoId.BIooded Murder.

WHEELING, W. VA, April 2l.-A
special to the InteIligencsr from Penns-
boro, W. Va, says: Information
reached here this evening of a foul
and cold blooded murder committed
near Auburn this morning. The story
as told here is that while Mrs. Hardes-
ty, a widow lady, aged sixty years,
and her daughter were alone in their
house, stranger walked into the
room, seized the fire shovel and struck
the cd lady blow on the head,
which knocked her down. He then
struck her several more blows, which
mashed her head almost into jelly,
and left the house. No reason has
been assigned for the horrible deed.
The country for miles around is in a
high state Of excitement, and diligent
search is being made for the MUIR

MISSISSIPPI NOTES.

YAzoo Cry Herald on the Eailroad
Commission: Mississippi should now
rejoice and feel relieved of q burden.
The grievous OPP ression of soulless
corporations should be removed ftom
our fair State.
CARRoLLToN Conservative on the mas
sacree: "While it appears to have
been a terrible tragedy, the steps
taken were necessary e. the safety and
peace of the community" Necessity,
the tyrant'e plea,
YAzoo CIIY Herald, Tbs Commercial.
Herald has come to the conclusion
that the evils suffered in our Southern
country are due 10 two causes, the all
cotton idea and the cred system, and
we do not see how any one can gain
say the assertion.
VICKsBURG Herald: The responsible
ity rests on the Southern whites OF
protecting the negroes rs perfectly as
it can be done. Our people can do
better by not suppressing any facts
about the race troubles than by sssum-
ing something which is false.
VIcKsBURG Herald: We do not agree
with many, that the President is
weakening his party by his civil
service reform policy. The differences
between the protection Democrats
and the tariff reform Democrats and
the silver Democrats are doing much
more harm.
MERIDIAN NeiUS: The action of the
Mobile and Ohio railroad in stopping
the running Of the freight trains on
Sunday ia grand move Besides the
coveted RESI- Of the Sabbath which il
gives to its employees, it will stand 40
one of the biggest moral lessons en-
acted in this country in long while.
ABERDEEN Examiner: We know of
but one class OF men in this or any
other toV n IN Mississippi who are the
worse off for the exist nce OF the
"drummers," and that is the newspa-
per men. Before the "drumme." be-
came an institution OF the land it was
a matter of prime necessity to every
wholesale dealer to advertise in each
town from which he sought trade.
STARKvILLE Stock Journal: Prof.
White says "Our country cannot he
improved without good labor, educa-
ted abor and skilled labor. In think
ing over this whole matter l have
made bold to inquire whether or not
the lack of saving middle class is
not q weak point in our Southern syE-
tenn, and whether or not the labor
difficulty is rot at tie bottom Of all
our trouble"

firm Pres dent, Mrs. A. II. Hoge of
CHICAGO, Mrs. Herrick Johnson of the
same city presided. On behalf of the
Presbyterian ladies Of indianapolis,
the delegates were welcomed by Mrs.
II. A. Edison and the address was re-
sponded to by Mrs. A. c. Knowlton
OF Chicago also. Instead OF the Presi-
dents annual address, Mrs johnson
read long letter from Ms. Hoge,
and then the board ordered a telegram
of coincidence and congratulation to
be sent TO the absent officer. Greet
ings from sister boards in the Metho-
dist, Baptist, Cumberland Presbyte
rian, Congregationalist, Christian and
other churches were presented by
local delegates. The report of the
Home Secretary, Mrs. n. ID Pratt,
was read, giving the figures of last
years transactions by the board, and
Mrs. A. P. Hopper, who has Just re-
turned from China, addressed the
board on the work in that country.

COLUMBUS, o., April 2l.-The April
crop report of the State Board of Ag-
riculture, based on returns from 9S5
townships, since April 18th, gives the
following estimates: Rye Area 81 !;
condition 90. Barley Area SO; con-
dition 80. Peaches-Per cent. OF fruit
buds winter killed, 81. Condition of
live stock-Horses SO, cattle IS, sheep
80, swine 50. Live stock is generally
healthy and in good condition, except
the hog cholera among swine, and
paper skin and general bad condition
of sheep are reported in few coun-
ties. Wheat is best this year in the
south half of the State, where it was
an almost entire failure last year. The
condition Of wheat for the whole
State, June, 1885, was 81 per cent,
against "a per cent. now, so far as re-
ported. Other fruits besides peaches,
thus far, show good prospects.

sDELPHIA PHYSICIANS
Over the Delegates 10 the
An IAN Medical Association.

PHmf alpha, Pa, April 18.-Two
sets of delegates will probably leave
this city for st. Louis to attend the
annual session Of the American Medi-
cal Association on Tuesday, May 4th,
to represent the Philadelphia County
Medical Society. Both sets claim that
they ha 'he right to represent the
sct A., and each hat the other
is wrong. The by-i the Ameri-
can Ao-Jo.@..Un pro for the cleo
ton of one delegate u epresent each
ten members of the State and county
societies. As the Philadelphia society
has $50 members it is entitled to
forty-five delegates, and they have
been chosen and herein lies the diff
Guilty The history of this little differ
ence among the doctors of the city
dates back to the trouble that arose
over the international Medical
Congress which accepted an invi-
tation to meet at Washington in
1887, and there are two sides
to the controversy. As per the by
laws of the county society, a nominal.
ing committee was appointed to nomi-
nate the fortY-five delegates to the
American Association and to report
the names to the January meeting.
This was done, and at the next meet
ing it was supposed they would be
elected in the usual way. But they
were not. A new ticket was elected,
headed by the names of DR.. d Hayes
Agnew and containing those Of DR..
James Tyson, DR.. j. B. Roberts, DIR.
Goodell, DIR. R. J. Lewis, DR.. S. w.
Gross, DR.. VIM. Pepper, DIR. j. H.
Brinton, DR. S. Weir Mitchell and
other prominent members of the So
ciety. Regarding the difficulty, a rep
resentative Of the new-ticket faction
said to-day: 81 do not see what use
there will be in the other set of dele
gates going to st. Louis. They have
not been elected delegates and have
no ere 1entials The ticket headed by
DR.. Agnew was fairly elected by a
vote of 1859 to 80 when the nominating
committee presented its report. The
election of the new ticket was simply
a refusal of the society to adopt the
committees report. The committee
had simply packed the delegation to
carry out the pet aims and purposes
Of certain clique among the physi-
clans to uphold the actions of the
small meeting of the association at
New Orleans. We did not pro ose to
have the Sc rse of the society misrepre.
scented in that way and went to work
to form a delegation that would prop
erly represent it. The vote showed
the sentiments of the meeting"

THE TWO SANS.
Jones and Small at Columbus, Miss
"A Great Religious Awakening.
ESPECIAL TO THR APPEAL.


COLUMBUS, MISS, April 21.-Sam
Small arrived here last Sunday and
was accompanied by the Rev. DIR.
Maxwell, director of the song service.
Smsll has preached in the Methodist
Church three times day to the
largest concourses of white people ever
seen in Columbus, and there are plain
indications of great religious awak-
ening here Sam Jones arrived this
morning at o'clock and at 10 o'clock
was preaching to 1000 people. They
will remain until Monday morning.
There are great numbers of strangers
here, attracted by the revival. So
far Small is decidedly the more popu-
lar of the two here, and his high
breeding and intelligence mark him
as a man incomplrab'y superior to
Jones.

The Morrow ChInes Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The House
Committee on Foreign Relations
changed the Morrow Chinese bill to
conform to the bill introduced in the
Senate by Senator Fair, making the
limit of the time for the treaty to run
ten years instead of twenty. This &C
ton was taken, it is said, to hasten
legislation with as little opposition as
possible, and this is the reason why
Senator Fair placed the ten-year limit
in his bill.

Pensions for Prisoners of War.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-The bill
reported by Mr.. Morrill, Kas, from
the Committee on Invalid Pensions
to-day to pension, prisoners of war,
provides that all disabled prisoners of
war shall be granted pensions at the
rate fixed for similar disabilities in
honorably discharged soldiers where
the disability is presumed to be the
result of confinement in Southern
prisons. The committee estimate that
it will require Sl,l00,000 annually to
meet the addition to the pension rolls.
The bill also provides that persons
confined for more than thirty days in
Southern pr sons shall receive a per
diem of 81 for each days con-
fnement, and it is estimated
it will require an expenditure
of about s4,000,000 From the best
obtainable information the committee
believes that about 5000 ex-prisoners
are now living, but large number of
these persons are already receiving
pensions. The argument in favor OF
the per diem payment for the period
of confinement adduced in the report
is that many of the prisoners were de-
pr we'd of the opportunity to re-enlist
and receive bounty therefor. They
were also out of the line of promotion,
and in addition sustained in many
cases losses of personal property
through confiscation by their captors.
