Armstrong, of the Utica, New York, internal

Gently removed to make room for a new man,
and the republican Senators asked the reason
why. Their curiosity was promptly gratified.
Secretary Manning sent the Senate documents
showing that Armstrong, who has always
ranked as a stalwart republican, communicated
with Col. Lamont and Congressman Spriggs to
say that, while protesting TO be a republican,
he had secretly done all in his power for the
success OF the democratic ticket; and that IL he
was retained in office he would be enabled, as n
supposed republican, to render valuable aid to
the democrats. But Mr.. Armstrong misjudged
his men. On these confessions of perfidy he
was at once bounced, and on hearing the facts
OF course, the republican Senate gave a hearty
Amen. There are said to be several other SINH
lar cases; II they should be disposed of in the
same manner.

The Maryland people are still growing over
the state tax Oh marriage, which is the heaviest
laid by any state in the Union. Last year the
legislature cut Off certain fees on those whom
the law appoints to take charge ofthe deceased,
and lowered the tax on marriage licenses, but
Gov. McLane vetoed the latter act, that, as
the Baltimore Sun quantity remarks, "the state
was ready TO speed the parting but Gov.
McLane's veto prevented rs from welcoming
the coming guest"
The matter may seem a slight one, but there
are many 10 whom a marriage license fee of
$3.50 the rate in Maryland, is a serious matter.
1t is in the interest of the public morals, well
as personal comfort, that this tax be made as
slight as practicable. The charge in the District
of Columbia is one dollar, sum quite large
enough to pay for the certificate and act of
record. Thrifty Maryland couples are reminded
that the difference in the tax will pay their
railroad fares for q wedding journey to the

An article in a Warsaw newspaper has made
severe attack on the principles of the Bis
marck system of government. 1t is said that
the writer is Prot Mommsen, the famous histo-
rian. The article claims that the iron rule of
Bismarck is leading the country backwards.
"We once, the author says, lighted others on
the path TO freedom and individual develop
ment. To-day how changed. We retrace our
steps toward imperialism under the guise of
state socialism, 1t must be admitted by every
student of history, even if he be not Momm-
sen, that Germany of late years has departed
very widely from the traditions of Teutonic lib
erty. The necessity which once existed for
turning Germany into II camp and subOrdinat-
ing everything To the military idea has now in
great measure passed away, and the govern
ment might safely pursue a much more liberal
policy towards the people than il seems dis
posed to follow.

WHO GOT HIM.
Mrs. j. w. Pierce Gets the Dead Body
at West View Cemetery.

Mrs. j. w. Pierce Gets the Dead Body
at West View Cemetery.
AS stated In the NEWS, Judge CLARK de-
cided the Pierce Weaver case Saturday.
He decided that the remains were those OF
Mrs. j. W. Pierce's husband, ana en-
joined Mrs. j. z. Weaver from removing
them, and refused to enjoln Mrs. Pierce.
So Mrs. Pierce will take the body with her
to Texas. Judge Clark said to a CupitOt
reporter that he did not have as much
difficulty in reaching cision as he
thought he would have. Mrs. Pierce es-
tablished the identity Of her husband
from his birth until the day of his death.
Mrs. Weaver rested her case upon the
Identification of body that had been In
the grave three weeks.
The theory now is that j. p. Weaver,
being aware that his wife knew he had
lived in Texas as j. w. Pierce, as soon as
he heard man by that name had been
killed, sent her card which led her to
believe she was widow.
One strange coincidence, however, has
not been accounted for. A memorandum
book was found in Pierce's pocket which
contained writing said TO be WeaVer's by
an expert, and the writing was a pre-
scriptiOn which Weaver WAS known TO
have taken for blood poison. This fact
was established by an affidavit from a
druggist in Indianapolis. The matter is
still a mystery to the public mind.

Ex-Sharif Davidson Is at 0sceola, Fla,
living, Of course, under an assumed
name. He intended to go to the Hot
Springs of Arkansas, but he changed his
mind after starting from New York and
bent his weary steps toward balmy FlOrl-
da. He was convinced that he would
meet fewer persons acquainted with him
at the latter place than at the former.
This was the only consideration that
could have diverted him from the Hot
Springs, for he sorely needs the remed al
effects Of the baths. And sides, life at
the Hot Springs cOmmends itself to bis
taste. SeclusiOn in dull little place like
OsceOla is not to his liking. But be needs
rest and seclusi0n, and b is now getting
both better than if he had gone to Arkan-
sas, or even the wilds OF Hoboken or Gar
neld, N j.
DdvldsOn's body was as nearly a wreck
as 1t well could be on the occasion OF his
last journey down town when be visited
the office of his counsel, W. BOurke Cock
ran, a week before mis- flight. Mr.. Cock
ran said at the time that Mr.. Davidson
was very ill. On his way across City
Hall Park after his visit to Mr.. Cochran
Mr.. Davidson was supported and hall
carried by Mr.. Clark, managing clerk for
Mr.. Cochran, and by a friend who had
come down town with him. His body
was bent forward, his head hung down
upon his breast, and he shufled along
like a man afflicted with senile debility.
Unless bis creditors iOllOw him aud begin
to prosecute him there, he will probably
stay at Oseeola until his natural desire
for a livelier scene impels hIm toward the
Southwestern country. The best indica-
ton that he has money to defray his trav-
cling expenses is found in re mark made
by one of his old friends. ''Itis reported
all round that Aleck was reck less spen-
DER" this man said. 'tWell, he may have
been, but L don't believe it. ! have been
with him as often as anybody else, and l
never saw him buy anything but beer for
himself or his party, excepting when
others bought wine and set MIN the ex-
ample. He's got some dust or Pm awful

A st. Augustine correspondent sug-
gests that meeting of the English,
scotch aud Irish immigrants to this
State, who have been in the State long
enough to obtain some practical expert
enre, be held at Jacksonville, or some
convenient GENRE, whose testimony
" Ould either refute the stories about the
worthlessness of Florida lands or would
suOstantiate the reports now current in
America and Europe. The writer would
not let any one who is in any way connect
ed with speculative land corporations or
real estate agencies have anything to do
with it.
st. Augustine Weekly; Saturday night
the Sheriff of Alachua county, and Sheriff
Zehnbeaur, of Putnam county, visited
this city in search OF an alleged fugitive
from justice, in the person of one Camp
bell, civil engineer, employed on the st.
Augustine and Palatka railroad, who is
wanted in Gainesville for appropriating
to his own use several thousand dollars,
belonging to parties in Alachua county.
With the assistance of Sheriff Hernandez,
the two visiting Sheriffs succeeded in
finding their man at the Rolleston House
on Sunday, and departed with him for
Gainesville on same day,
Thomas James, the neero charged with
committing an assault on q little white
girl 12]5 years of age, had a prelim-
mary hearing before Justice Jackson, at
Jacksonville, Monday, and was COM
mitted to Jail to await the action OF the
Circuit Court at it's next term. The pris-
Oner was identified by the little victim.
He had acted as cook 10 her fathers fam
lily for some time, and she says that he
committed assaults upon her at three diff
ierent times during the temporary alb
sence Of her parents from the house, and
that the reason she did not make the facts
known to her parents was that he threat
ened to kill her and poison the family il
she did so.
