A Doctors Luck.

The Philadelphia Press states
that DIR. Thomas G. Stellwagen,
dentist of that city, and a resident
of Media, Pa, has cone into the
possession of a handsome fortune
by the death OF his aunt, the widow
of the late DR.. Dickey, OF Atlanta,
Ga. Thest goes that Mrs. Dick
ey, assuming to be in want, address
ed letters to relatives in Maryland
and Pennsylvania, soliciting aid,
but that DR.. Stellwagen was the
only one responded favOrably. He
sent her two checks for $50 each,
and wrote that he hoped his small
contributions would aid her. Three
months ago DR.. Stellwagen received
a letter from his aunt saying she
was very sick, and requesting him
to come to Atlanta. He Obeyed
the summons, and when he reached
Atlanta was dumbfounded TO find
that Mrs. Dickey was living ele-
gantly and that she was wealthy.
She told him that she wouldn't live
long; that she wanted to go home
with him, and made him present
of all her household furniture, sill
verware and Jewels. 1t is also said
that the professor left behind him

after reaching the doctors home in
Media Mrs, Dickey died.

Tn TO this date the President has
in all sent about 2,l00 nominations
for civil offices to the Senate. Oi
these LOO have been confirmed
and only 10 rejected. The remain
ing 100 will be disposed ofin a com
paratively short time, and it is not
expected that the proportion of re-
iections will be increased. The
nominations of Mr.. Cleveland,
therefore, are treated every whit as
well by a Republican Senate as If
made by an Executive of their own
party. The Pennsylvania nomi-
nations 1t had been anticipated
would meet with much objection,
but of the entire $50 sent in all
have been confirmed with but two
or three exceptions, and these are
still pending and will 60 through.
Nearly all of these nominations
we're made at the instance of Mr..
Randall, and Senator Don Cameron
has taken as much interest in hav-
ing them confirmed as if they we're
his own personal and political
friends.

The Proposed Constitutional Amendment.

WASHINGTON, MAY 24-The re-
port of the House committee on the
judiciary to accompany the joint
resolution proposing constitution
al amendment on the subject of
polvgamy is a long document,
which deals in detail with all the
branches of the subject, and enters
into an elaborate discussion as TO
the powers ofCongress in the prem.
lses. The committee deem it Of
the first Importance that while the
remedy shall be radical, it shall be
entirely consistent with the con-
stitutional principles of our govern
ment and in harmony with the
sacred rights Of conscience. At
the same time the committee hold
that to permit polygamy to grow
up in the States side by side with
monogamy would constitute a
union between the Asiatic type and
the European.American type of
civilization that would be incOm.
patible and fatal to our peace and
progress. The committee hold that
such a constitutional provision as
is recommended would not be a
departure from the genius Of the
Government, which in general
leaves the control of domestic re-
lations to the States, nor a viola
ton of the principle of religious
freedom. AS each State must have
republican form of government,
the committee maintains that 1t is
no departure from the principles OF
the constitution to declare that the
government of the States shall not
he based on the pOlygamous family.
Thus the Union by clear compact
will be constituted of States IN
political form republican, in social
notify homogeneous.

gular affair is reported fIom Green
vile, Mich, to day. James Martin
this morning served notice ofeiect-
ment npon Abraham van Horn, a
Crystal township farmer, claiming
the title to Van Horns farm. A
few years ago the farm was sold to
Van Horn by Mrs. Lydia Lyons,
who said, when Van Horn express
ed doubt about the clearness of the
title, that she chopped God would
strike her dead if the title was not
all right"
When Van Horn was served with
notice Of ejcctment this morning he
went to GreenvllIe and consulted a
lawyer The latter advised him to
call on Mrs. Lyons about the mat
ter. and toward noon Van Horn
Visited the woman at her home
She heard him through, and then
dropped to the floor dead. Super
stitious people think that Mrs.
Lyons knew the title she sold was
imperfect, and that God struck her
dead to day in response to the
prayer she uttered years ago, on
the day the sale was affected. -
Medical science, however, AYERS that
she died Of shock when brought

Yesterday. Mrs. Margaret Donnau,
a widow, became insane from re-

Armour Said 10 Have Lost Heavily on the
Decline Of Wheat.

CHICAGO, May 22.-An evening
paper says: "Some of the big opera
tors and not few brokers have
figured out that Uncle Phil Armour
is one of the big losers in the great
decline in wheat. According to their
calculations, he began to bull the
marset at 81, or thereaDout, and
closed out and gave up the effort
at so and below. AS he wasn't
dealing in small amounts, they con-
clnde that the fellows who were on
the other side have got a hand
some slice of his money. just
how handsome this slice is opinions
differ, but most of them put it mp
to seven figures, and many believe
il represents more than he made in
st. Paul q year ago, and some say
twice az much. AS it is very un-
usual thing for the great packer to
get on the wrong side, the other
fellows are feeling very good over
it for the present. But Uncle Philip
has way of regarding all transac-
tons of this character as a loan,
and is liable to get it back when
he gets around it.
"The fellows who gathered IN
the lions share of the immense
sums lost by those who have tried
to bull the market since it went
below 81 are n. b. Ream, Charlie
Schwartz, Edward Partridge (the
dry.goods mani, Charley Singer
and John Cudahy. Ofthese Ream.
Partridge and Cudahy have been
the biggest gamers. The latter is
said to have drawn out $3.50, 1000
and invested it in real estate in a
single week. Ream went short at
81, and wound up his trades at 80
TO II cents. He IS said to have
begun to bull st. Paul stock before
Armour went in, and to have made
more money in this deal than in
wheat, and he made handsomely
Cd both. Besides Armour, the big
losers have been Nat Jones, Plank
ington, and the Minneapolis millers,
Pillsbury, Hill and Holmes, and
Barnes. There seems 10 be an I'M
preston that this party is prepar-
ing to get even through the July
option, but what ground there IS
for it, if any, does not appear"

A WONDERFUL NATURAL BRIDGE OR TUN-
MEL.

The great natural bride or tun'
mel in Scott county, Va, on the
line of the South Atlantic and
Ohio railroad, fifty miles from its
junction with the Norfolk and
Western at Bristol, Tenn, is the
most wonderful curiosity east of
the Sierras. 1t is 933 feet long,
varying from % to 100 feet in
with, and equal height. IL COM
prises natural bridge with an
arch of stone over 400 feet thick, a
cave of wOndrous beauty and
grandeur, and a tunnel, through
which flows the waters OF Scott
creek-a respectable river in size.
The approach to this remarkable
tunnel is especially grand. For
several hundred yards the waters
have cut out a canon, with over
hanging walls over 400 feet high.
Moss \, litchens and dwarfed cedars
cling to its rocky sides, while for
est trees, the branches of which
oyerhanging form an emerald
through which the blue sky with
its fleecy clouds are seen, framing
a D cture once seen, is never to be
forgotten. The roof OF this won
derful cave or tunnel is formed Of
massive gothic arches resting upon
gigantic irregular pillars standing
upon either side. The South At
lantic and Ohio railroad passes
through this natural way. The
scenery all along the line is beauti-
ful and grand beyond description.
Towering mountains with deep
gorges cut through them by the
mountain streams, whose crystal
and sparkling waters, Astounding in
speckled trout, charm the ear with
the soft music from a thousand sill
very cascades vast forest covering
the hills and mountains to their
very SUBMITS fertile valley aud
pastures covered with rich velvet
turf seen no where but in the home
of the famed blue grass. AS the
line of the South Atlantic and Ohio
railroad winds and turns on its
way through this most beautiful
portion of Appalachia, new views
are continually presented to the
eye Of the tourist, which, while
commanding the attention, never
