The telegraph reports the death, at the
age Of s8 years, of Squire White, famous
in his early manhood as one OF the leaders
of the Dorr rebellion of Rhode Island.
This was an attempt to revolutionize the
suffrage system of that little state which
made great deal of noise in its day. In
1s4l, after unsuccessful attempts to
secure from the legislature IN approval of
such system as they desired, certain
suffrage associations called convention,
at which new constitution was formu-
late d and submitted to popular ratifca-
ton. Upon its submission, the friends
of the new constitution claimed that il
received the endorsement of majority
of the adult male citizens of the state,
including a majority of those
entitled to vote under the charter. An
election for state officers under this con.
stitution was held during the following
year, when Thomas Wilson Dorr, the
most prominent leader in the movement,
was chosen governor. Mr.. DORIS gov
eminent attempted TO seize the reins Of
power, but was resisted by the govern
ment in possession. The state troop
were called out, and for ten days Their,
were hostile demonstrations, which, how
ever, did not amount to much of war

CLAYMoNT, April 20.-The beautiful
weather of Sunday brought out goodly
number to the churches and Sunday
schools.
A centrifugal reel that was being
hoisted into the mill of Samuel Hickman
one day last week, was precipitated by
the rope breaking. The fall came near
hurting several men; $50 damage was sus-
tanned to the reel. This mill is being
rapidly filled with new machinery.
The meeting of the Local Milk Associa-
ton at the Practical Farmer on Saturday
afternoon was poorly attended, the
farmers being pushed with spring work.
A committee of five was appointed to visit
Philadelphia and confer with the city
association in regard to the price of milk.
It is q tangible fact that the city dealers
do about as they please with the dairymen
Of this section. Besides reducing the
price at will, they frequently give up the
milk without notice to the producer, send
it back to spoil, and make him pay the
freight on it both ways.

The American Grocer sounds another
note of warning against pickles colored
by the use of a salt of copper or by pre-
paration In copper utensils. There is
reason to doubt the wholesomeness of
such unnaturally green products, although
chemists are not agreed that the quantity
of copper salts imbibed in the coloring
process is sufficient to make them appre-
ciably poisonous. Yet the very uncer-
tainty on this point ought to be accepted
by prudent people as sufficient reason for
avoiding such products and giving pref
erence TO pickles which have not been
ertihcially colored, and, it is question
able whether after all the latter are not
as pleasing to the average eye as the
former. DR.. Cyrus Edison communicates
to the American GTOcer,as peculiar fact
brought out by analyses made by him for
the guidance of the New York board of
health, that the pickles contained more
copper than the liquor in which they
were immersed, and individual pickles in
the same lots contained different amounts
of the poison"

We find the following good thought
aptly expressed in the editorial columns of
the Chestertown Transcript. "a political
contest should mean something higher
than fight for the distribution of the
loayes and fishes. Good government, in
terests affecting the whole people, and
questions of national importance under
the spoils system become secondary to the
question of the distribution Of the spoils.
Men are often elevated to positions requir.
ing great abilities not because they pos
sess large abilities, but because they can
be relied upon to favor those who have
worked for them. If Grover Cleveland
before he leaves the Presidential chair
shall have impressed upon the American
people successfully the thought that
public position, whether high or low, be
longs to him who is tittest for it, he will
have accomplished great work"

NAyAsoTA, Tex, April 20.-Another mys-
terious victim of Judge Lynch was found
above this city yesterday near the village Of
Washington on Brazos river. farmer
named Wilson found the body Of light
colored mulatto 1liating near the shore.
He tied the corpse to a tree and notified the
nearest Justice of the peace who held an in
quest on the body. The examination re-
vealed dark blue mark around the neck,
which was broken. The ankles of the
mulatto also bore marks OF the rope, indi-
eating that weights had been tied TO his
feet. His skull was broken, as though from
the blow of n revolver handle, probably to
silence his outcries. Who the dead man is
or what terrible crime he committed which
brought such fatal vengeance Is profound
mystery here. The theory Is that he was
swung from some high bridge across the
Brazos many miles above, and the rope
afterward cut in expectation that the
weights on his ankles would carry the body

Labor Party OF the United States, is In the

bers of the party. They have in view the

GOULD SEVERELY ARRAIGNED.



ProndeTgast's Able speech.
CHICAGO, April 2O.-The Inter OCEAN this
morning says: A mass-meeting, said to be
a gathering of the citizens of the town OF
Lake, was held last night to discuss Jay
Gould and the southwestern strike.
About 1900 people were present. An
able speech was made by p. It. Barry OF
Englewood, who gave Gould's history In
connection with the Wabash road, how he
issued 100000 900 of false bonds, made
payable to himself and taxed the public to
make enormous dividends on watered
stock.
George b. Sceets, the editor OF Knights
OF Labor paper, thought their great weapon
was the ballot-box.
Judge Prendergast followed In a long and
very able speech. He fully narrated Gould's
career in buying up Legislators and judges.
Gould's dupllcity with Powderly he COM
pared with the devil tempting Eve and rs
the fires Of hell were not made any cooler
by satan's transaction, SO the heat of public
opinion had not lessened by Gouldsalleged
rascality.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing Jay
Gould as an implacable foe OF the wage
workers Of the United States In particular,
and laboring men everywhere In general,
and pledging themselves to use every legitl-
mate means to support the employees Of the
southwestern railroad system financially
and morally in their heroic struggle
against every INSCRIPTIONS enemy. A COM
mittee of four In every one Of the nine pre-
clnct5 of the town was appointed to solicit
aid and forward to the strikers,

PRISON LABOR.
Action of "a Grade and Labor About
COurI-hOuse Work.

COurt-hOuse Work.
CHICAGO, April 19.-At the regular
meeting of the Trade and Labor Assembly
yesterday, Mark L. Crawford, of the COM
mittee appointed to wait on the members
OF the county board who had the letting
of the contract for repairs on the court
house, reported that his committee visited
the commissioners having the matter in
charge and protested against the contract
being awarded to L. r. Brainerd *
Company, on account of their leing EN-
ployers of prison labor, all the stone used
by them in their works being cut by con-
victs at Joliet Penitentiary. The protest
was extended five days too late, as the
contract had already been awarded.
There was a clause in the contract, how
ever, prohibiting the use of convict labor
in the repairs.
The committee then called upon Mr..
Brainerd and after considerable difficulty
induced him to sign an agreement with
the committee binding himself to use
none but union labor on the courthouse,
and to bid for no more work in this city
until he got from under the contract with
the state which has become burden to
him. He also agreed not to renew his
contract for prisonlabor. The committee
recommended that under this agreement
the various unions be allowed to let their
members work on the repairs. This recon-
mendation produceda very stormy debate.
The motion to approve the recommends
ton was lost, but in reconsideration the
whole matter was laid over till the next
meeting in order to give the stone cutters
opportunity, if they so desire, to amend
their constitution.

THE BARTLETT CASE.
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Closes and
the Jury Acquits The Prisoner.

LONDON, April IT, The Bartlett poisoning
case WAS given to the jury TO day.
In closing the case for the crown, Aitor-
Tey-General Russell commended that, from
all evidence that had been adduced, 1t
was clearly impossible for Mr Bart
lett to have committed suicide as
alleged by the defence, and that there
could be no doubt that he was
killed by chlOroform administered by some
other person and that this other person was
the prisoner, Mrs. Adelaide Bartlett, who
had been maintaining relations with the
Rev. Mr.. Dyson and who was inspired to
remove her husband because he was re-
gaining his health. Mr.. Russell dwell
upon the singular state OF affairs which
had existed in the family and showed how
distasteful the deceased had become to the
prisoner by contrast with MIR. Dyson.
The Judge, summing up, told the Jury
that Mr.. Dyson had taken advantage Of the
husbands maudlin nonsense to supplant
him in the affections Of the wife and ad
vised that no part Of the clergyman's testi
mony, although he had been witness fol
the crown, be accepted as reliable.
The jury was out but short time, ant
rendered verdict Of acquittal.

One deed that should be remembered
to the credit of the late William H. VAN
derbilt was his gift of 100000 to the
New York College of Physicians and Sur
gecns. He had intended to supplement
this gift by others as the development of
the work of the college should require,
but was carried off by death before his
plans had been realized. His children
are now, with commendable interest
in their fathers unfinished scheme,
following in tho line he had
marked out. Shortly after his
death, Mrs. William D. Sloane, one OF
his daughters, gave to the college a hand
some sum for the erection of maternity
hospital, free to all, and, on Thursday
evening, the college trustees were graft
fed by the announcement that the foul
sons of Mr.. Vanderbilt had united ii
an offer of further donation of $3.50, OOC
to be applied to the erection of another
important addition to the college build
ings.

The early completion OF the Philadelphia
extension of the Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad
is looked upon now us almost certain.
While there is yet good deal of heavy
work to be done inside OF Philadelphia to
connect the new line with the Reading
Road, the line into that city will be ready
for use probably by August LIST. 1t is saldthat
about the first move of Importance on the
part of the Baltimore Il Ohio will be to
make Philadelphia the initial and
the terminal point for their through west
ern trains. At the present fares out Of New
York and Philadelphia the Baltimore Il
Ohio Is said TO be doing four times as much
business between those cities and the west
as was done say in the year 1882, when the
company had the use of the Pennsylvania
tracks. The Baltimore X Ohio pays heavy
local tribute to the Pennsylvania for this
traffic. The local rate OF $3.50 from and to
New York, and $3.50 from and to Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, is paid on every pas
senger. The removal Of the initial and
terminal point to Philadelphia instead OF
remaining In Baltimore, 1t is said, will at
the start have the effect of putting $4,000
month into the treasury of the company
which is now paid to the Pennsylvania fol-
local fares. Until New York connection
is made with the Reading, it is said the
business for the new line between those
cities will be given to the Bound Brook
route. A coach transfer of about half q
mile will be necessary between the two rail
way stations In Philadelphia at the outset
as against n considerably longer coach
transfer between Union and Camden stations
In Baltimore.

Not True About Lamar.

MACON, GA, April 1s.-1he Telegraph
of to-day says "For obvious reasons we
have hesitated to notice the matter which
is engaging the attention of the press of
the country. Even now we hesitate.
That the visit of Secretary Lamar to his
old home and relatives should be the oc-
casion of newspaper sensation was an
unworthy reception of him; that it
should have been seized upon to defy the
traditional chivalry and hospitality of
this section by wounding the sensibilities
of modest and much honored woman is
coarse, indecent and indefensible. We
have the best reasons TO know that q
social visit has been perverted by news
mongers and that there is no foundation
In fact for the reports circulated as TO the
secretary's matrimonial intentions any
more than there is excuse for the breach
of good manners"
