Itimc, he suddenly finds these duties not at all pressing, when summoned
 to appear before this committee to
 testify concerning the Worlds con nection with this scandal" to skip
 of for Europe, ten days ago; and not Ionly thiez so extremely trifling ] ] it:..srio t:::...s become the burden of runnin g the World that he took with him his managing editor, John R. Cockrill, the man who killed Slay back while
 managing editor of Pulitzer's St. Louis organ, the Post Dispatch. The conclusion cannot be escaped that Pulitzer resigned his seat in Congress and ran away, taking his
 managing editor with him, after both Lad been summoned, to escape testi- lying on this subject before thls com
 mittee. Do the slandered members
 of the administration need further
 vindicatlon? Are not the tables
 being very neatly turned upon thelr
 accusers? It has also been impos
 siDle to get Hill before the commit
 tee. His health has been very much affected by recent developments in this as well as in another committee of the House before which he stands charged with bribery. That the World made this fight without pay, and that this pay came from any one else than the Bell company, nobody believes. George Jones, of the New York Times, says his paper got l,250 for publishing the first article on the subject. Who had enough in tercst in it, but the Bell company, to pay this or any other amount for such a service? Whitelaw Reid testified that the Tribune was actu- ated only by pure cussedness in the matter; that is, he sad it had re- ceived no pay. While it was neces- sary to hire other papers to do this dirty work, the Bell company could safely depend upon the virulence of the Tribune toward the administra tion to sufficiently influence it in the matter. So the reader has the origin and the motive of this whole matter. Instead of having used his official position to advance the interest of the Pan Electric, Mir. Garland has persistently refused to be connected in any case and has consistently re. fused to be connected in any way with the proceedings in the case and has not even attended meeting of the company since the election Of MT. Cleveland.

 At Dover next Friday Lee Barnes win be hanged for the murder of Charles Holman in Conway county. So far the condemned man has exhibited but little penitence for his fearful crime and maintains stoical indifference to his impending fate. He has been charged with the commission of various crimes in Conway and Faulkner counties, and some have thought he would make a full confession on the gallows, but he disclaims any such intention. Wheth- Ter he is innocent of the crimes charged or too far steeped in crime to confess, of course it is impossible to tell.
 LATER. Since the above was written we learn that Barnes has be- come very penetent, and recognizes now his terrible condition. Minis ters have visited him and admins. tered unto his spiritual needs.
 Capt. P. J. RolIow of Dover, is speaking Of supplying long felt want, that is q boarding house at Gravel Hill camp ground five miles east of Dover and nine miles north of Russellvillc. There is no doubt but the excellent mineral water at that place will make 1t popular watering place aud health resort. and It needs only what Capt, Rollow proposes to supply If he can get the necessary encouragements, eat ing accommodations, to set the ball in motion. Capt. Rollow in order to test the strength of the enterprise desires any who would likely to be taken with the idea to correspond with him at Dover in order that be may have some expression of opinion before undertak- ing the necessary outlay.

WHY HARD TINES.

The following good aud sufficient
reasons for the cpuutry's business
depression are given hy tIo "Chica.
go Journals"
|. Good crops in England and
Enrope, with tho growing aud choap
wheat supply from ludla, have m,
iued the English d9,nlnd for Amer
lcan grain, With 40 export demand
tho price of wheat has fallen to II
point at which it cannot be proii,a
bly, produced.
2. Tho absurd discrimination OF
Germauy and Franco against Amor.-
can meat has hal similar effect on
the price Of provisions. Tho cattle,
hog aud sheep industries, and The
production Of grain for fatteuing
beef. pork anl mutton have all su
fered in consequence.
3 The Iow price Of Americau
staple agricultural prolatcs has par
allied the shipping industry, aud
made RAILROAD construction unproft-
able, Many laboring mon aud arts e
aus have lost their occupations as
the result of this condition Of aft airs
1. The low price Of agricultural
products has greatly dominishod tho
capacity Of the agricultural popula
ton as purchasers Of goods and NOR
chandise. Dull trade aud discour-
agement in manufacturers have pro
ceeded from tho cause.
Strikes and locEouts have weaken
cd enterprise aud acted as restraint
and hindrance on all plans for tue
Investment OF capital, a man who
has determined TO erect n factory
that would givo employment to 500
l,OJO men, will abandon his deter.
minaiion on learnin & that as soon as
he gets under way his employees will
strike for shorter hours or higher
wages.
6. All those causes have created
financial congestion at the m)ueyed
centors and scarcity of money
among the people in the country at
large. Never before was there as
much money in tho country as there
is at the present time But it does
not circulate. The country is like a
robust person, full of blood which
fails, however, to move healthily in
it's accustomed channels through all
lparts Of its artoriai system

A BOZ DETECTIVE.

Some years siGce drover named
Charles STANCE, q German, was mnre
dered in Western Onio, aud for
many weeks the case promised to
forever remain mystery. The
| body was not found until u week af'
! Ter the murder, as it was concealed
iu some bushes by the roadside.
Only one blow had been struck, aud
that had crushed his skull. The
affair occurred on highway much
travelled, aud. as nearly rs could be
| figured down ut about three o'clock
in the afternoon. The drover had
left his lame horse at u farm aud
started out to look at somo cattle
on farm two miles away. Several
persons who were driving recog
nized and passed him, but no one
saw him nearer than within half Il
mile of the spot where he met his
death.
1t was two days before any search
was begun and a week, rs stated,
before the body was found. Means
while there had been a heavy rain,
and any evidences of a struggle had
been removed 1t was believed 10y
Everybody that the drover was kill
ed 10 tho road aud his body lifted
over the fence into the bushes As
he was man weighing 1SO pounds,
II was reasonable 10 further believe
that it took two men to lift the
body over the fence. The dead
man had been robbed of watch
and money. HIS clothing was con-
slderably disarrangei, aud in his
right hand he tightly clutchel q
stick about the size OF broom

that two men were engaged in the
