headed by d. S. Walker, Jr., lndepend-
ent. Capt. p. Houstoun positively re-
fuses the use of his name as announced
last week tor the Assembly. DR.. earn,
the other Democrat named, has not yet
decided what course to pursue. Ex-GOv.

A Strange Freak a Newark Clerk
Developed.
From ne Nep YORK World.


Nicholas Herget, a young clerk living
at No. A Montgomery street. Newark, de-
veloped peculiar mania yesterday.
Early in the day he became morose and
detected, and when rallied by his relatives
made an impatient answer and left the
house. He returned in few minutes
with an ak in his hand. Going up to his
father with the weapon. he turned the
handle 10 his father and said:
Father, want you TO cut my mead of"
Mr.. Herget jumped back in his aston.
ishment, aud Tor the first time noticed a
wild glitter IN his sons eyes. He told
the young man that he would do nothing
of the kind, and kindly advised MIN to lay
down until he was recovered.
"Well," said the young man deter
mlnedly, 'if you will not do it, will only
have TO cut your head off."t
Mr.. Herget saw that mis- son was de-
termined, and for a moment was at loss
what 10 do. Then, becoming satisfied
that his son was insane, he thought To
temporize. He said:
ii will cut your head off, but not here.
The best place is at police headquarters,
and then you can tell the police not To
blame me-"
THAT will do frstrate," said the young

MAsoN's COTTON PICKER.
Report of the Committee of the
Charleston Exchange.

Report of the Committee of the
Charleston Exchange.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. 20.-The spe-
cial committee Of the Charleston Cotton
Exchange, who witnessed the field trial
of the Mason cotton harvester last week,
report that they were agreeably surprised
at the amount of work accomplished by
the machine, and believe that the prIn-
ciple embodied in its construction is cor
rect, that the cotton picked was OF fully
average quality and more free from the
leaf than much of the cotton now being
marketed. The committee think the ma
chine requires development and further
adoption to make a complete success, as
there was wastage in picking and too
much of the cotton left unpicked after
the passage OF the machine. The COM
mittee also say that the damage to the
cotton plant was of little consequence as
compared with the results obtained.

attachments were tor small amounts. All
the bills allege as grounds OF attachment
Illegal removal for the purpose OF fraudu-
lently evading the payment of claims.
The failure of these houses created eX-
citementin the city. Business men and
all others who held acCouDls against the
firms hunted up their attorneys to help
them In their CLAIMS. Large crowds sur
rounded the houses soon after the an
nounoement was made, and the causes OF
the failure were discussed in all their
bearings. 1t is said that the total liabili-
ties will reach 100000. The amount of
assets is thought TO be less than 100000.

GLASS MOUNTAIN.
The Material as Good as Any Glass
ArtificiaIIy Manufactured.

ArtificialIy Manufactured.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.--Among the
scientific papers which will appear In the
appendix of the forthcoming reports of
the Geological Survey Is one by Prof.
Joseph p. lddings upon Obsidian Gin of
Yellowstone Park. The cliff is an eleva-
ton half mile long by from loo to 200
feet high, the material of which, Prof.
lddlngs says, 'Is as FOOD glass as any
artItcially manufactured" Its colors and
structure not only make it highly interest,"
ing to the visitor. but furnish to the scien-
tlhc investigator phenomna Of import
ance. The Gift presents partial section
OF a surface flow of obsidian, which
poured down an ancient slope from the
plateau lying east. 1t is impossible to de-
termine what the original thickness of
TINS flow may have been. The dense glass
which now forms its lower portion is
from IS to 100 feet thick, while the porous
and Bumlceous upper portion has SUI
tered from ages of erosion and glacial ac-
ton.
A remarkable feature of the cliff is the
development Of prismatic Columns which
form It's southern extremity.
These are of shining black obsidian,
rising from the talus slope and are from
90 10 90 feet in height with dlameters va
rying from 2to feet.
The color of the material Of this cliff is
for the most part jet black, but much of it
is mottled and streaked with bright
brownish red and various shades of brown
from dark 10 light yellowlsh, purplish and
olive green. The brilliant lustre Of the
rock and the strong contrasts OF colors
with the black are very striking. In
places the glass in the process 81 cooling
has been broken into small angular
pieces, which have been again cemented
by the later flow, producing many colOred

the material shows a fine satin lustre,

self into thin beams of red and yellow

COLORED QUILL DRIVERS.
Convention of Negro Journalists of
Arkansas.

Arkansas.
LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Oct. 1S.-The COL
ored newspaper editors of this State met
in annual convention in this CITY to-day.
Too much credit cannot be spread upon
those of the colOred race of the South
who since freedom" have exerted them
selves for the enlightenment of themselves
and those whom they would teach, and
here in Arkansas people everywhere give
the ''brother' quIll-driyers in dark" re-
sDectful consideration, and all possible
help is willingly extended their publca-
lions. There are about thirty news
papers issued in the State which are
owned and edited by colOred men,
and all of them reflect credit
on their promoters. "Col." Jaco edits
the leading weekly, the Arkansas Man
sion, of Little Rock, and he is master OF
ceremonies at the meeting. The Mansion
was started and managed for several
years by one of the more enlightened col
ored men in the South, named Simpkius,
and he was unanimously elected an hon
Orary member OF the white Press Associa-
ton, and was held IN high distinction BY
the mem bers thereof. He met with them
in their annual conclaVes in different cities
OF the state, and participated in their free
excursions, going few years ago to
w Washington, where he was introduced to
the President and members of his Cabinet
as the negro editor Of the Arkansas Press
Association.
But human nature is weak, and so
Simpkins discovered, for one Sunday
morning, when the people were all away
to church, he got mixed up with his land
lady's l4-yesr-old daughter in some wav
that created talk enough TO disgust him
with the town, and he departed. Since
then nothing has been heard of the "hon-
orary" col0red brother editor. But the
Mansion WAS not born to die, and to-day
is the most influential paper in the State
with those whose interests it caters to.
