his recent message to the legislature of
Kansas, Gov. Martin makes this state
ment: ION the first day of January, 1885,
soloOns were open in twenty or thirty towns
and cities of the state. A year later the
open saloons had been banished from every
town or city of Kansas with possibly two
exceptions, and in these active and determ-
1ned legal efforts for its suppression have
been instituted" What has been the effect
on the general growth and prosperity of the
state? The following is his testimony ON
this point. THE growth of Kansas during
the past year has been unexampled in the
history of American commemorative. An
immense immigration has poured into our
borders and spread over every section of
the state, from the Missouri to the Colorado
line" In the face of such testimony as
this some leading journals and their one
sided readers continue to assert that PRO
hibition is failure IN Kansas" Is this
honest? Is it honorable? VIII such out
rageous Misrepresentation tend to support
any but bad cause?

This morning at IL o'clock man about six
feet in height, wearing a dark suit OF
clothes, long. brown overcoat and a black
felt hat, about 80 years of age, was OBJ
served walking along the edge of the bank

of mile above the falls he
was seen by man named Lyburnam, who

PHILADELPHIA, March lat was Off
cially announced this afternoon that the
plan of recognizing the Philadelphia 81
Reading Railroad company, which has been
under consideration by the reconstruction
trustees and the syndicate of capitalists, is
al length complete in every essential fea-
ture and that if the proofs are revised in
time it will be furnished to the public
within twenty-four hours. The scheme
has undergone but little change as the result
of recent discussion. A gentleman who is
thoroughly conversant with all the reorgani-
cation proceedings says:
Gowen will not have foothold in this re-
organization. Do you suppose that party
OF business men would ofor their means for
the revival OF u bankrupt property, and have
that property managed with their money by a
man whose first purpose would be to antag-
Onize all rival corporations and go into
Him table eXtrayegancies. If Mr.. Gowen
HAD the means of reorganizing tue property,
he would have stepped right forward and
FASTENED to take the road from the receivers
hands by his own Incompatible plan. He
claimed Mr.. Corbin us his attorney. That
gentleman, know, is fully in accord with the
sentiment of the syndicate of which he is Il
member. If this plan. which is now about TO
be offered TO the security-holders, is success
full, as | have every reason TO believe il will
be, Mr.. Gowen will remain the harmless
attache of the Reading that he has been ever
since his last election as president.

probably yield much more than the accom-

The best and cleanest looking sample
had butter odor and taste and would
readily pass for butter. 1t had a very

great many spores which, under favorable
conditions. have no doubt would have

were also noticed. Many of the protozoo
under favorable conditions, pass into an en-
cysted stage or develop spores within pro-

dormant till the environment is again favor

some of the many spores found in these

There cannot be the slightest doubt tina

BROOKLYN, March 2.-The charred and
blackened body of Jonas MOrissey, a man
go years of age, lay last night upon rough
board in the Eleventh precinct station
house of Brooklyn. The man had been
burned TO death. About o'clock last even
ing he came to his home in a state of gross
intoXication and at once drove his family
out into the street. They went TO the
house of q neighbor for refuge and he
locked himself in his room. An hour later
man passing the house saw smoke
issuing from the second-aOor windows.
The place was on fire and had
evidently been burning for some time. The
fire department was summoned and the pO-
lice burst in the doors in hopes OF saving
some of the effects. But the fire had eX
tended through the dwelling and before any
water was thrown upon it it was completely
doomed. The body of Morrissey, burned
to crisp. was found in the ruins. After
locking the doors he had lighted his pipe
and then thrown himself upon straw mat
tress upon a bedstead. In his drunken
stupOr his pipe is supposed to have fallen
upon the straw and started blaze. He did
not arouse himself sufficiently to get up,
and thus met horrible death.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, March IA re-
port received from Marinette last evening is
to the effect that logging work is progressing
very slowly in that locality, and that not
over one-third of the intended cut is banked
to date. The Beef Slough company has
completed very extensive and costly i'm
provements at its works this win
ter. and is prepared to do
heavy business in rafting. Last
seasons rafting amounted TO about 400,-
900, 900 feet, being the largest work done by
the company since its organization. The
company has one of the largest, safest and
most substantially-c log harbors
i'll the United States, and the facilities for
trailing and rafting and getting logs into
the Mississippi river are unsurpassed. A
surplus Of some 20, 900, 600 feet, belonging
to different mill owners along the Missis-
sippi. has been lying in the works since
last fall which will allow work TO be re-
sumed without awaiting the arrival of new
logs. The lumbermen and driving associa-
tons on the Eau Claire and Chippewa
rivers will adopt the following scale of
wages for driving logs this spring: Fore
men, So TO $3.50 per day; cooks, So; COM
mon drivers, Sl.75 to 81. The number of
men that will be employed has not been

CITY OF MEXICO, March 12.-For nearly
two years an American named John Rivers
has been in prison at Zaeatecas, charged
with the murder of a Mexican. Rivers was
sentenced IN December to be shot, but the
execution was postponed by the exertions
of few friends, and Consul General Porch
has by personal exertions probably secured
a re-opening of the case. Having become
satisfied that Rivers acted in elf-defense,
Consul Porch has found several important
witnesses. The action of the consul is
much commended by the. resident Amer
leans. Rivers is Californian, and was at
one time county commissioner of San Fran
cisco.
