Savannah Ners: OF course the claim

the claim that Wolfe will poll from 3d.

One of the ILLINOIS Democrats

The Boston Herald publishes Il story
to the effect that the Democratic leaders
in Illinois have made up their minds
that Mr.. Cleveland will be renominated
in SSS, and have already begun to con-
slider what Illinois man shall take sec
ond place. Mr.. Morrison's name does
not enter into these considerations. ''be-
cause Morrison stands apart from the
other Democrats leaders of Illinois," and
because he is a candidate for the Pres
idency and intermediately for the Sen
ate. The Hon. William NJ. Springer,
the Hon. Ad.aI f. Stevenson, First AS
sistant Postmaster General, and the Hon.
John Charles Black, Commissioner of
Pensions, SO runs the tale, have formed
close combination against Mr.. Nor
rison, who is to be locked out. Mean
while the triple combination is debating
whether Mr.. Stevenson or Gen. Black
shall be the candidate of Illinois for
Vice-President in the next national Con-
vention. If MIR. Stevenson takes the
Vice-Presidsncy, Gen. Black will sue.
coed Mr.. Cullom in the Senate, and ribe
Cersd. Mr.. Springer, it apraars. is with
out ambition.
This is beautiful yarn, and any body
who wants to believe that these distin-
guished Illinois politicians are dividing
up offices beforehand. electing Cullom's
successor, crushing Mr.. Morrison, and
counting their chickens before they ar e
Matched, can believe it without charge,
We don't mention the story to contra
dict it. but to observe that if the Hon.
Adlai f. Stevenson chooses to run for
the Vice-Presidency or any other office,
there are few Democrats who could run
better. Mr.. Stevenson's bold, speedy.
and scientific methods for the elimin-
alton of Republican postmasters have
justly made him popular with Demo
Gratis. He belongs to the old school.
He is Jacksonian.

Lightning in the Rocky Mountains.

IN the hOUnIaRns-
The curious case of G. $ Edwards who
was struck by lightning while crossing Iron
hill, At Leadyille, Colo, on July 4, is attract
ing considerable interest among scientific
men. After the flash, Mr.. Edwards remained
unconscious for fifteen minutes before receiy-
ing assistance. The lightning struck him on
the left cheek, and after knocking out num-
Der of his teeth passed diagonally across tho
breast to the right side. 1t then descended
the body to the foot, emerging from the right
boot 1t passed entirely through the foot,
leaving a hole similar to that made by a bull

particles being found distance of 20 feet
Both of the boots were entirely destroyed,
and one of them carried sixty feet away.
The ground where the man was standing
was torn up for a considerable distance. Tho
course of the electric current along the body
was marked by a black and red streak one
and a half inches wide The worst effect OF
the streak seems to have been ON the lungs.
y severe hemOrrhage was produced, by which
a quart of blood was lost. In addition To
these injuries, the surface of the body was
almost covered with blisteTs, the result of
ugly burns. This, we believe, is the first au-
thentic record of a person being injured by
lightning at an elevation of IL, $50 feet. 1t is

The arrest in New York of Alter, the
man II whom Alderman Jaehne made
an alleged sale of his jewelry store
when it became evident he was to get into
trouble for his partnership with thieves
and his fondness for "boodle," has
given new interest to the somewhat
neglected litigation. Alter is indicted for
perjury, but the general impression is
that he is to be used as a witness and
that the perjury charge will never be
pressed. Neither the District Attorney
nor Inspector Byrne is disposed to tell
the public what they expect to do with
Alter, and It isn't probable that any body
else knows. His arrest has caused a
tlutter among the Doodle aldermen who
are awaiting trial. They evidently think
Alter can tell tales out of school if
he wants to, and they are afraid he

A New Wild Mast Show.

j. W. Proctor. commonly known as
Long Feather, has been in this vicin-
ity for several days making collec-
tons Of wild animals and curiosities
for a "Wild West" show which he is
making up and will start east with
about tho middle Of April. He spent
two or three days up the valley in the
endeavor to trap some wolverines, but
they proved too willy for him and he
returned without capturing any.
However he gathered hereabouts a
number Of rare specimens, some prai-
RE dogs and jack rabbits with which
he went to Billings Thursday. His
show with which he proposes to tray
ell through the east the coming season
will consist of about twenty-five peo-
pie composed principally Of broncho
busters and Indians and will travel
overland. A menagerie of wild ami
mails and a large collection Of western
curiosities Will compose other attract
ions. His programme on entering a
town will be first a grand parade
through the streets, headed by him
self and followed by his cavalry of
cowboys and painted warriors, and
will give exhibitions of running fights
intermingled with lots Of "war
whoop," which will present a picture
of western life not in the least com
%plimentary to il. He will have tents
IN which to exhibit his menagerie and
specimens, and perform various tricks
and games. Such a show will not
have any great tendency to inspire
the average dude with the notion of

by the Senate provides that for eight
years after its passage there shall be
annually appropriated from the treas
ury the following sums in aid Of COM
mon school education IN the States

there is a special appropriation of s.
100000 to aid in the erection OF school
houses in sparsely settled districts,
making o total of $4,000 900. The
money is given to the several States
and Territories in that proportion
which the whole number OF persons
in each who being of the age of ten
years and over who cannot write bears
to the whole number of such persons
in tho United States according to the
census of 1880 until the census Of 1890
shall be obtained, and then according
to the latest figures. In States hay

BUSINESS

Special telgrams to Bradstreet's last
week reveal further improvement in
some lines at cities where gains have
been noted within a few weeks. This
is more conspicuous at Chicago, Kan
sss City, Boston, Philadelphia, and
Cincinnati. The features are of the
same character as those previously
noted. There is evidence of gain in
volume of sales at the smaller West
ern cities. notably at Memphis, Bur
lington and Des Moines. The reverse
is true at Indianapolis and Norfolk.
The cut rates on the transcontinental
lines are marked by a heavy shipment
Of goods East from San Francisco. A
special from Davenport, Iowa, reports
that California oranges have driven
other oranges out Of the market and
that receipts are increasing. The
general industrial situation is rather
better. The strikes at the Amoskeag
mills and at McCormick's reaper
works are failures, and work is likely
to be resumed soon at both. There is
rather less confidence at several Wes-
tern pig iron centers that prices are
likely to be advanced In the near fu-
ture, inasmuch as any higher figures
will encourage idle furnaces to blow
in. Production at present is about
equal to consumption. Some Lynch
burg (Va.) pig iron has been stored at
New York. Merchant bar iron is dull.
Anthracite coal is still weak and low
in prices although there Is better
prospect for a comparatively early ar
rangement as to mining during 1886
than has yet ensued. The dry goods
is slightly better, principally at Bos-
ton and Chicago. At the former city
the higher wages paid mill hands has
resulted in advanced quotations for
some grades Of brown and bleached
sheetings. Print cloths are off ! per
cent. Cotton and wooden goods are
both frmer. At Chicago there is a
frmer demand for spring fabrics.
Flannels and woolens have advanced.
Wool is quiet with prices somewhat
in buyers favor. In some cases quota
tions have been made l per cent. low
er than a week ago. ~#here is no
change in the sugdr situation and
consumption is behind last year. COT
fee is frmer on account Of higher
rates OF exchange on Rio Janeiro.
Rice is easier under the influence Of
large supplies. Dairy products are
lower in consequence of poor export
demand for cheese and fuller receipts

Chinese Claims for Damages.

Tho Philadelphia Press's Washing
ton special says: Reports received
at the Navy department indicate that
the American missionaries in China
are beginning to be maltreated Ey
Chinese mobs. Some Senators and
members believe these assaults are
made as reprisals for attacks upon the
Chinese citizens in some of the West
ern States and Territories. The Chi
nese outbreaks in this country will,
it is said, lead to the presentation Of
claims for damages done to the prop
erty Of Cinnamon. Dispatches from
San Francisco say that such claims to
the amount Of $500 have been filed at
the State Department. The officers
Of that Department are very s%ecretlye
about the matter of these claims and
decline to indicate how many have
been fled OR to what amount. It is
understood the officials have advised
that these claims should be referred
to the United States rather than be
filed in the State Department for pre-
~sentatlon to Congress. Anybody in
Washington at all familiar with the
Chinese question realizes that a seri-
OBS difficulty is likely to occur upon
the Pacific Coast in regard to the
Cinnamon. Unless some relief is
granted by Congress they will take
the Law in their own hands. Such is
the opinion of Senator Stanford, yet
he believes if the whole body of the
Chinese were suddenly removed from
the country it would be disastrous to
labor and the industries upon the Pa
ciic Coast. He says the Cinnamon
have played an important part in the
development of that section of the
country, by the work they have done
in building up railroads and in other
improvements as we'll as manufac-
lures, but the limit Of their useful
ness has been reached. Not only
should no more be allowed to come
into the country but those now here
should be gradually returned.
