''Of course you do"
What do you mean then, sir, by
saying that you can't send them?'
The grocer took the Indignant
gentleman by the button-hole and
with solemn vIsage led him back
behind pile of boxes, See here,
he said dropping his voice to a
whisper. I've been reading that
decision of Judge Sawyer's about

The citizen then said he had
been joking about the washing bus

The works of the immense clock
which has been put up in the
Board of Trade Building in Chicago
are pronounced most perfect re

improvements adapted to its com

of iron, bronz and steel, and weighs
ten tons without the bell, the latter
adding some 1850 ponds more
The pendulum alone weighs 80
pounds. In its arrangement the
works are divided into time train
a hand train and a striking train,
these several trains comprising sep
arate machines, resting, side by
side, on separate frames. Each of
the trains is operated by a separate
weight, and the three weights to-
gether reach some $500 pounds.
The hammer that strikes the bell
weighs 50 pounds, the clock -work
is below the dials, which are ten
feet ten inches in diameter, and
the bell is above them, or 250 feet
above the ground. The pendulum
swings one way in two seconds.

thoroughly un-American creature
that has ever been exhibited in

late Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The follow
ing is brief synopsis Of the bill to
regulate commerce reported from the
senate select committee upon the inter
State railroad transportation to-day by
Senator Cullom: After specifying the
classes of carriers or rather the kinds
Of traffic to which the regulations pre-
scribed are to apply and declaring that
all charges made by such carriers shall
be reasonable, the preliminary sec.
tions aim to prohibit every variety of
unjust discrimination TO prescribe
adequate penalties therefor and
to prescribe for ME enforcement
of the counts of the United States
courts. These sections include the
requirement that all carriers shall
afford reasonable facilities for the
interchange Of traffic with connecting
lines and the prohibition at greater for
shorter than for longer distance
except when can be afirmatively
established by the carrier that such
change does not constitute an unjust
discrimination. Another section re-
quires all carriers subject to the
provisions of the proposed act to file
their tariffs and classification
with the Interstate commerce
commission and provides that
they shall be posted or otherwise pub.
lished, but leaves it to be determined
by the commission. The manner Of
publication and the places at and be-
tween which rates shall be published.
The provision is made for enforcing
the requirements of the commission
in these respects through the courts
and for the maintenance Of the rates
that may be thus published.
Provision is also made for the ap-
pointment by the president of FIVE
commissioners to be confirmed by the
senate. Several sections are devoted
to prescribing the duties of commits
sioners and the manner in which com.
plants are to be investigated and pros
ecutions instituted under its direction
when found necessary.

A Race for a Bride.

LAwRENcEvILLE Ga, jan. 20
Yesterday DIR. A, D. REVERE, we'll
known physician Of this place, secured
from the ordinary Of Lawrenceville. a
license to marry Miss Octavia Mash,
of that place; as he was walking out
of the ordinary's Office he passed by
Mr.. John Jackson, who secured a
license to marry the same lady. DR..
REVERE mounted his horse and giving
it the spurs started out at a full gallop
for the lady's home; five minutes later
Jackson mounted and started in full
pursuit Of the doctor. The men rode
furiously, but the doctor having FIVE
minutes the start, was married to the
girl by the time his rival reached the
scene. 1t seems that she was engaged
to both, and had named the same day
and hour for each to appear as her
groom. 1t was not until the licenses
were issued that the two men found
out the true state of affairs.

Ice Blockade in Chesapeake Bay.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 19-The ice
blockade in Chesapeake bay still con-
tinues and no attempt is made to get
to or from the port except by heavy
vessels. A large number Of sailing
crafts are reported fast in the ice and
many of the oyster fleets have been
kept so long away that there is much
suffering among the crew. The ice
extends down to the mouth of Patux-
ent river and is very solid. The tenn
perature which now prevails it is
hoped will let loose the large feet Of
coasters and bay crafts.

WILMINGTON, Jan. 19.-When the
bleak and dismal rain was turning the
lingering snow on the graves at Old
Swedes into repulsive slush, the last

the mortal remains of Miss Katharine

tended to keep down the throng, but
there was enough of it to crowd the
antique church until ingress or egress
were impossible, Among the many
present were Secretary Whitney and
Endicott, Col. Lamont, Hon. Wade
Hampton, Senator Gray, Gov. Stock
ley, Secretary of State w. +. Casey
and his brother John, Private Secre-
taries Bryant and McFee, Judge

Special to Commercial Herald.
JACKSON, Jan. 19-Both houses OF
the legislature voted to-day for United
States senators. Senator Sykes, in the
senate nominated Gen. E. G. Walthall
to fill the unexpired term of Lamar.
Senator Gayles, colored, voting for ].
l.. Alcorn, was the only vote not cast
for Walthall. Senator w. G. Yerger,
chairman of the Democratic joint eau
Gus; placed in nomination J. T. George
for the full term of six years, begin
ming March '87. He received the en-
tire vote except Senator Gayles, who
voted again for Alcorn. Mr.. Magru-
der in the house nominated Gen. Wal
thall, and DR.. Henry nominated Gen.
George, each receiving 103 votes, all
the votes cast. Two colored members,
Mitchell and johnson, were the only
ones of the colored members who
voted.
In the senate the charter for the
Pensacola & Memphis Railroad passed
with amendments for exemption for
year instead of twenty years, prevent
ing consultations with or leasing to
parallel lines, and to prevent cutting
timber for construction purposes off
State lands, giving only 100 feet for
right of way, instead Of 200, asked for
by the company.
In the senate Mr.. Scales introduced
bill to repeal the charter of the
British and Mississippi Valley Free
Land and Mortgagage Company, lin
tied.
Mr.. Gibbs introduced in the house,
a bill repeating the law mailing the
stealing of stock of the value Of one
dollar and over q felony. Passed. This
law has sent more negroes to the peni-
tentiaTy than all other laws on the
statue books. The bill raised t be
standard of grand larceny to punish
ment by imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary for ten years and makes
small thefts punishable by imprison-
ment in the county jail not to exceed
one year. 1t is claimed by the friends
of the bill that it will cut off and save
to the State large expense.
Senator Dodds has a similar bill in
the senate and doubtless a law on the
subject will be passed, and thus, to a
large extent, solve the penitentiary
problem.
The levee board to-day distributed
pamphlets upon the desk Of both
houses, replying to the arguments OF
Tunica against the constitutionality
and injustice of the cotton tax, and
claims that the tax is not only consti-
tutlonal and just, but necessary for the
protection of the delta from the floods.

A Judge of the U. S. Court Deter
mined to Have a Verdict,


mined to Have a Verdict.
OMAHA, NEB., Jan. l9.-The U. S,
Court adjourned yesterday for the
Lincoln term ; during the last three
weeks it has been engaged in trying
the insurance cases of Leighton &
Clarke, one of the largest wholesale
drug firms in the West. Their store
burned down in July, 1885. and they
recovered $4,000 from insurance COM
panies. They afterwards brou a
suit for $4,000 additicn nal, on t4c
ground that they had not
discovered the whole extent of
their loss at the time it was adjusted.
The insurance company cluimed that
Leighton, the head of the firm had
caused a fraudulent inventory to be
made and that therefore the policies
were invalid and that they were enti-
tied to recover the full amount of
money which they had paid, The jury
began their deliberations Friday after
noon, but when court adjourned had
not reached a conclusion. The Judge,
therefore. ordered them to be taken to
Lincoln in special car and to con-
tinue their deliberations there.
