THE END OF A BITTER FEUD.
Bloody COLONIZATION of a PrOhtbi.
IiOn Contest in Georgia.

MILLEDGKvILLE, Ga, March 2.-TLe
killing Of Marshall Hsygood by Mr..
Sam. Ennis, on saturday, has given a
bloody elimination to one of the Bit
teTest contests over prohibition yet
conducted in Georgia. As explaining
the feeling which led up to this state
Of things, both parties charge the
other with melting to not and blood
shed. The Prohibitionists brought the
Rev. Sam. Jones here. He delivered
a speech and preached 4 sermon. The
Anti-PTohibitionists allege that he ad-
vised Prohibitionists TO be ready to
fight ii it should be found necessary
in order 10 secure the polling of their
votes, ald that he even recommended
that they should 90 to the polls armed
with pistols. The Prohibitionists
admit that Jones made use of some
such expressions, but they insist that
he meant that the PIOhibitionists
should stand firm for their rights, and
nothing more. Immediately after the
terrible tragedy such expressions IS
these were common: "It was Sam
Jones's work" "How willSam Jones
feel when he hears to what his incen-
diary ut frances have led?" The Pro-
hibiiionist5. and even some that &C.
cupy neutcsl ground, maintain that
Jones's utterances had nothing 20 do
with the killing.

The Hudson Riyer Again Closed.

New YORK, March 2-The recent
cold snap has closed the Hudson river
again, and all the local steamboats,
which had started to run from Pseks-
skill down have had to stop. Some OF
them are frozen fast to th7ir docks.
The river is nearly frozen across at
Tarrytown. Below Tarrytown the tide
has broken the ice up and piled it high
along the shore, and tine channel is
full OF floating ice, so that it is impos-
sibe forsteamers to get through it.
The ice on an average is about eight
iuches thick where it has not been
disturbed. but in the channel, where
it rises and falls, there is no unifolm
thickness. 1t is unusual when the
river once opens for it to close again
the same season. The shad fisheries
which had commenced have been sud
denly suspended.

THE POPPS BIRTHDAY
Celebrates by an Address 10 the Col
Icge of Cardinals.


ROME, March Pope Leo NIL
celebiaed the seventy.iiIth anniver-
sary OF his birth to-day and the eighth
anniversary OF his coronation, which
falls tomorrow, by an address to the
members of the Sacred College. In
this his holiness eulog zed the union
existing among the cardina.e, and
urged concord among Catholics against
those seeking to corrupt and weaken
the authority of the church. He de-
plored the oppressed condition Of the
Holy See as unworthy Of the head OF
the church and incompatible with his
independence. His holiness spoke
with much severity concerning the
attempt to connect the Vatican with
the crime of furnishing foreign enc
mics any secret information about
it's military defensee, as was done re-
Gently in the case of a man on trial on
the charge of having sold such intor-
nation to foreign power. During
his trial the prosecution read what
purported ID be part Of letter from
Vienna, in which the writer, whose
name was withheld, imputed the pris-
oner's act to inspiration from the Vati-
can, which was accused Of having q
purpose to undermine and destroy the
present kingdom of Italy. His holt
ness repelled this imputation with in
diVnation aud condemned the impu-
nity with which vulgar malignity oil
this kind has been employed to excite
against the Vatican the hatred OF
multitudes.

familiar with the case. The facts
g-ined publicity through the fling OF
a suit for divorce by Frank Petit. In
his bill be recites that about two weeks
stree, while on visit ID tne residence
OF Asa Monroe, he was taken into
room by Asa and his three sons. The
door was closed and locked upon
him, aud he was informed he must at
once marry lady in an adjoining
apartment Petit refused, when the
boys covered him with revolvers
while the old man stepped outside
and returned with his eldest daughter
beautiful blonde, who bore in her
arms fine baby. Petit still refused
to marry the girl, when he was locked
up aud left without food for three
days, when he weakened, and the
ceremony was performed in the apart
ment which had served as his priton.

slant watch over him. About

proved too much for them, and, break.
ing away from their grasp, jumped
through the window OF his room,
which was on the sixth floor of the
hotel. 1t overlooked the count in the
center of the building. When he fell
he hit on some wire-work covering
the GLASS roof of the reading room. The
attendants rushed down stairs in great
alarm. surprising their chum would be
killed' but when be was picked up and
examir ed it could be asceit lined that
no homes we're broken or that he had
sustained no serious injury. Ply
q clans are hopeful Of his rec oV9ry.

Sensation In the French Deputies

PARIS, March IN. Clemenceau
caused q sensa ion in the Chamber OF
Deputies to-day by demanding that
tbs French princes be expelled from
the country. He denied that their ex-
pulsion would be contrary to repub-
iican principles. These principles, he
said, were based upon the rightI OF
man. The princes claimed, by virtue
of their birth, more rights than other
men enjoyed, and they therefore con.
demned themselves by placing them
selves outside Of democratic society.
NJ. Clemencesu was enthusiastically
applauded The majority of the
groups in the Chamber Of Deputies
are now in favor Of the expulsion OF
the princes.

Iron COVERING ron COTrON.

49,
Iron COVERING FOR COTTON.
As cotton is the chief product of the
South everything that concerns its
production and preparation for market
Is read with avidity by Southern
planters. The recent invention OF
sheet iron covering for cotton bales is
attracting considerable attention
among cotton producers. According
to the specifications filed with the aP-
plication for patent which has been
granted, the sheets Of iron are to be
seventy-eight inches in length by
ioity-eight in width, and there are to
be two Of them to each bale, $50 rolled
and prepared at the mills as to leave
each sheet with rib on each end, be-
hind which small slot is cut by
machinery for each OF the two or
three short ties to be used. The ends
of each sheet are cut back from ten
to fourteen inches 80 as to fold down
aud FOUND the ends Of the bale,
secured by slight clasp, and thus ell
most Theoretically sealing them. These
sheets not being broad enough to ex-
tend over and meet on the sides OF the
bale, az it comes from the press OF
the farmer, there is provided for each
side sheet eighty-two inches
long by eighteen or twenty inches
wide, called slip" to fill this space
between the top and bottom sheets.
This completes the covering and hides
every particle Of cotton from view.
Now, when the bale is put in the com
press these sheets on the sides are
thrown out (which is but the work Of
an instantly and the COMPRISING OF the
bale brings the upper and lower sheets
together again, completely covering the
bale after being compressed. The
sheets thus extracted are ready fer use
again, and there 10 no reason why they
cannot be used year after year. The
covering for bale will weigh about
twenty pounds. By improved ma
chinery the sheets are rolled so thin
that they become very malleable, and
are not, as moot people would suppose,
hard to bend or handle, but are just
the opposite" The inventor, like all
others, is sanguine Of success and pre-
diets that the entire cotton crop OF
1887 will be wrapped in his
patent iron envelopes. He says
he has consulted with the
largest iron manufacturers OF the
country, aud that they concur
in the opinion that tho patent tic OF
envelope can be furnished at a cost o.
less than 81 bale. The inventor
also says that an unlimited amount o
capital is ready TO invest III the eS
pertinent. II successful, II will be o
great value, as much cotton is burnet
while in transit to the various mar
kets Of the world that several pounds
OF each bale are in various ways lost
and that large amounts OF insurance
against fire are paid by the producer
either directly or indirectly, which
the inventor proposes to save by
cover which protects tho cotton from
fire and waste. In view OF the pres
ent low price Of cotton, planters ar,
thinking more about inventions tina
will prevent the raising Of cotton in
stead OF patents for baling 1t. Blu
cotton will always be the prinOipa
product OF the South, and any practl
cal plan for marketing the crop with
out the annual loss, now go great, will
be welcomed by the producers ant
given fair trial,
