Fatal BIunder at n Fire.

j. p. Mullaly's livery and sale stables
in st. Louis were burned at an early
hour on Thursday morning. The fire
originated in the hay loft from some
unknown cause, and spread so rapidly
that it was well under way before tho
fire department. arrived. The en-
ploy6s of the establishment who were
on the scene at the time turned their
attention TO save the horses, sixty-fiye
in number, and had taken seven of
them from the burning building, when.
two policemen arrived, and thinking
that tho employees were thieves, club
bed them into iDsensibility, and thus
destroyed the only chance of saving
The stock. The remaining fifty eight
were burnedto death.

MONEY IN
Tho Rcmnrknble Success OF II Wcstcrn
North Carolina Farmer.
from fbs Mems uD4 TOnrt,r

(fTOWl INC IfelCS ana COnrRtr.)
AsIlEvILLE, n. G., February SIT
is really remarkable how much money
may be realized from the culture OF
tobacco under the best management.
Your correspondent has just had called
to his attention all illustration of this
fact. Mr.. w. G. Sprinkle, a citizen of
Madison county, which adjoinS But
combc III the north, who lives within
Il few mics of Marshall, the county
seat, bought in 1879 three hundred
acres Of land, Oh time, ior 81, 900.
This land it is said would o at that
time produce more than ten Uusllcls of
grain to the acre.
The purchaser began the cultivation
of tobacco on n small scale for the first
two years, having only 1000 capital
and raising also tho supplies needed
for his family. AS rapidly as he could
get his money out of tobacco he sowcd
his old fields in grass, and they are
now sufficiently fertile TO produce ex-
ccilent qualities of the weed. For
five years his crop of tobacco has aver
aged him $4,000 per amnum clear Of
expenses, and he has recently been
offered $4,000 for his farm. This
not only shows that there j. none for
the planter of tobacco, bnt ALSO proves
that tic weed, properly cultivated,
does not cxhaust'thc soiF, as many me
mics of the product are imthcbabit of
saying. The planter above spoken of
has made II acre produce 5000 worth
of tobacco, and on the old fields form
crly abandoned and then by his efforts
aud methods reclaimed, he has pro-
duccd the leaf that brought $39 per
hundred pounds.
In some sections near here the plan
tiers are beginning 20 sow the seed for
the plants of the approaching season.
Many, however, think it too early yet
for this work.
For a tow days the weather has been
too extremely cold and dry to allow
the handling and sale Of tobacco.
Large quantities are now stored here,
put up in tierces and boxes, ready to
be placed on the warehouse floors as
soon as the temperature and moisture
of the atmosphere render the leaf
pliable and soft, bringing it "into case"
as tobacco men say.

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

A great majority Of the 1O3 Irish seats in
Parliament will be carried for Mr.. Gladstone
without a contest. Mr.. Parnel expects
to gain several sc ats il Ulster. But even
without these anticipated gains and with the
record of uncontesed seats alone, il is evident
that three-quarters of the liish people are In
favor of Home Rule. If the Unionists and
Consei vatives had the f"intest prospect of sue
cess in these Nationalist boIOughs and di-
visions they would not allow so many elections
to go by default They enter upon the contes
in England and Scotland after concedng by
their neglect to contest seats in Ireland that
the people of the island by an overwhelming
majority are in favor of Mr.. iladstone's policy.
Lancashire and Scotland are apparently con-
sidered the main backgrounds by the contend
ing forces. Iu Scotland sixty out of seventy
two seats are contested by Unionlsts and Con-
servatives although nearly solid Liberal
delegation was sent to the last Parliament The
Unionists have had he aid of-4he Scotsman,
the powerful organ of the Liberal party, and
have been making strenuous exertions to de-
feat Mr.. Gladstone IN what has always been his
chief stronghold. In Lancashire on the other
hand, the Liberals hope to regain with the aid
of Irish vo many of the seats Which they
lost last year, aud in this way to offset the
losses to be expected elsewhere. Lord Hart
iDgton's name has great weight there, and the
majoriies scored against Liberal candidates at
the last election were heavy, 30 that the pros
poets of success are not very bright; but Mr..
Gladstone by his speeches in Manchester and
Liverpool has aroused much enthusiasm and
Home Rule gains in that quarter are not by any
means improbable. The opening elections thi.
week will DO Of special significance as indi-
eating whether the Liberals are likely to meet

The presentment of the June Grand Jury in
reference to violations of the excise law de-
serves thoughtful con liberation. II has long
been notorious that most offenders In excise
cases go unpublished. The bail is the trfIing
sum of 500. When a liquor-secr or bar
keeper is arrested, bail is omptly furnished in
the belief that the case will never come to trial,
and the business of breaking the law 10y selling
without license or in forbidden hours goes on
as before. And as rule such cases never are
brought to trial Naturally this condition of
things tends to make the police lax in arTesting
lawbreakers. If punishment were sure to follow
arrests where the breaking of the law was plain,
the police force would have no excuse for not
doing its full duty with the utmost energy
When arrests take place the offenders, having
the right to choose between the General Ses-
sions and the Special Sessions, invariably select
the court in which the calendars aie full, and
where the chances Of trial are small. In the
General Sessions, too. preference Is given among
minor lawbreakers TO Gail cases The Grand
Jury's recommendation that the Law be changed
so that excise cases shall he tried III the Spe-
cial Sessions is excellent. The Special Sessions
justices are by 10 means worked TO the limit OIL
their capacity and excise cases could be prompt
" disposed of there. Such a change III the Law
was suggested to the last Legislature by the
District Attorney, but too late to receive the
attention it meritcd.
Much would be gained if an additional court
room were provided for the General Sessions
This is, in fact, sorely needed, since the Dis
trict-Attolney's Office is unable to keep abreast
OF Its work largely because there are only two
Judges sitting at time. There Is no reason
except lack of room why our thee criminal
Judges should not hold court every month.
Mr.. MARITIME is entirely willing to perform the
extra work which third part of the General
Sessions would involve and has made efforts to
secure an additional courtroom, bat without
avail. The Board of Estimate should take
steps without delay to provide the necessary
quarters.
