Duxbury Reception.

In response to general invitation, the
"good people of Duxbury" (all people of
communities in the lump are always
"good " met at the residence of Mr.. II. o.
Ward, DuXbury's representative in the gem
eral assembly, last Friday evening, and it
may safely be left TO everybody there that
the reception was the most thoroughly en-
joyable that has been known in those
parts for some time. The weather was
ont in large numbers, but it did not get
into the house, where the guests, to the
number of one hundred twenty or more,
spent the evening in literary review of the
past, and a gastronomic view of the repast
generously furnished by the hostess and
charmingly served by several young ladies
whose names are omitted, not through any
modesty of ours but through our knowledge
of their own. Mr.. Eber Huntley called the
attention of all present to the fact that it
was just one hundred two years since the
town of Duxbury had been in existence,
and gave some interesting facts concerning
the towns history and representatives.
Rev. S. H. Wheeler offered prayer, and
then Mr.. Huntley called upon " Elder
Sheldon of Waterbury to tell all he knew
about what was going on one hundred
two years ago. Mr. Sheldon modestly re-
ferred all subjects OF that remote date to
Mr.. Wheelers horse, Pony Bly," whose
themselves. Mr.. Sheldon gave a rapid
sketch of the improvements of modern
times in science, education, and theology
told several stories more or less to the point
and failed to tell several more that he
thought of when he got through, and en-
joyed his audience so much that he went
away impressed with the idea that it was
the most eloquent audience he ever adj
dressed. Mr., Wheeler gracefully declined
TO offer any remarks, on the ground that
everything had been said already. The rest
of the evening was pleasantly spent in rem
iniscence of old times. All present on this
delightful occasion hereby join the writer in
very hearty thanks and wishes for prosperity
to the genial representative, Mr.. Ward, and
to his wife, Mrs. Ward, through whose
efforts the occasion was made so worthy of
grateful remembrance.

protection to American manufactures
IS maintained throughout the bill.
Hewed lumber is placed on the free
list. otherwise the lumber duties are
untouched. The rate on cotton goods
has been raised to the duty they paid
before the decision of 1888. There
has been no change in the sugar
schedule. The duty is raised on tin
plate, lowered on steel rails, that on
wire rods except for fencing increas-
ed, and alcohol for use in the arts is
made free. What the effect of the
changes in wool may be Is not easily
understood from the wooden schedule
in the bill, but a correspondent says
that raw wool would simply be pro
tected, and there is d reduction in
worsteds and cotton goods. The bill
was to be offered as a substitute to
the existing law or to the Mills bill.

The Murder of Ralph Smith.

San Mateo County is pocket Dor
ough in politics. and is not distin-
guished for the intelligence of its
iurymen. or for the certainty with
which justice is dispensed at its seat
of government. Redwood City is
where all wealthy prisoners want to
be tried who have money enough to
get change of venue. Some of the
verdicts that have been rendered there,
ere now, have resembled that place
which passeth all understanding.
They were simply incomprehensible
upon any principles of law, justice or
common sense. 1t has generally a
very complacent Sheriff, and fire.
quently its most easy-going citizens
find their way into the iury-box
From all of which it is safe to con-
clude that we have not the highest
possible opinion that justice is as
blind there as she ought to be. As a
matter of fact. we think she is very
likely to be there afflicted with a
most pronounced and oblique squirt.
Her case should, therefore, be at
tended to. Presently Powell, the
murderer of Poor Ralph Smith,
will be tried, and already there
are appearances that are not good.
If the red-handed assassin of
as genial, as amiable and as
peaceloving a citizen as ever resided
within the borders of California, does
not go unwhipped of justice, it will
not be because every preparation is
not being made to obtain for him a
safe deliverance. Perjured witnesses
are said to be turning up more nu-
merously and at cheaper rates than
usual. The jurors who are either
fixed, or expect to be, are reported to
be lying low at present, anxiously
awaiting the day of their usefulness.
The Sheriff, who is not unfriendly to
any extent to the accused, is around
as if he were busy and satisfied. The
slayer Is out on bail totally made
quate to the gravity of the offense.
The decision accepting bail at all is
simply so appalling that we refrain
from further abiding to it at present.
1t is discussed in San Mateo county
as being the beginning of the end,
and as indicating that justice will not
be done For the murder of Ralph
Smith there was no just cause OF
provocation whatever, and if his blood
is to cry to heaven in vain for punish
ment on his slayer, and if the out
ragged majesty of the law is not to be
indicated, then there is not a citizen
of California, however amiable or
lovable, but may be torn from his
wife and babes and murdered with
impunity If ever there was a case
in which there might well be intro
duced a little of that trial by news
paper" which has recently done such
| good service, it is this.-TS S. F. News

Gold in South Africa.

Pastor Brickner, missionary, writes
TO Berlin from Otyimbingue, under
date of September 18th, that five gold
diggers had arrived there from Aus
tralia in the preceding month in
search of gold. Two vera sons of an
Englishman who, thirty-three years
ago, found gold at the old copper
mines at Otyimbingue They had
been saving money for long time in
order to prosecute the search further,
and they soon found the scene of the
former discovery. The missionary
says the diggers are astonished at
the richness of the vein. The Jumps
of gold" he says, may be seen with
the naked eye. DR.. Goring, the I'm
perial Commissioner, believes that
millions of marks worth are lying at
this one place. The spot Is below
Ahnawood, eight hours hence, in a
sort of island in the bed of the Tsao-
koub. According to the evidence of
these experienced men, the place is
richer than any in Australia. And
now the gold hunt is going to begin"
In the view of this gentleman it will
only be possible to work the veins by
means of dynamite and stamping
machines, SO that companies will be
required having at command consid-
cradle capital Gold has been found
in four places between thirty and
forty miles below Otyimbingue.

Senator Ingalls, Speaks.

The following is a Washington
despatch of March 9Th, relating to a
speech with which Senator Ingalls,
led off the debate on the Dependent
Pension bill. The Senator seems to
have handled his opponents without
gloves:
The Senate Chamber was crowded
to-day with people to hear the long
promised speech by Senator ingalls,.
All the members Of the Kansas dele
cation in the House were present,
and every seat on the floor was occu-
pied. The galleries We're packed with

sentatives, who were sight seers. 1t

sion.
ingalls, expressed his regret that
Vest of Missouri was not in his seat.
as he wished to reply to his face to
the insinuations and inuendoes made
against him (Ingalls) in his absence
by Mr.. Vest. He should ignore the
insinuation that he was injured in
his political aspirations after the
election of Grover Cleveland. He
said that there was no man in this
country of ignorance so profound
and antecedents so degraded as not
to aspire to the Presidential nomina-
ton of the Democratic party. He
then castigated Vest for his speech
in eulogy of the Confederate Armies.
He said that he was born in Ken
lucky, a State that did not secede
and went to Missouri, State which
did not secede and for three years
represented that State in the Confed-
crate Senate. Both Vest and Black
burn were sincere In their views.
They believed that slavery was bet
ter than freedom; that JEFF Davis was
better than Abraham Lincoln.
He characterized their speeches
against Union soldiers as a bid to get
the Confederate votes. He assaiIed
the Southern Senators for their pres
ent opposition to all pension legisla-
ton. Southern Democrats could not
deceive the North by any pretensions
to love for Northern soldiers. He
alluded to the meeting at Atlanta in
1886, twenty years after the war,
when statue to Ben Hill was dedi-
Gated. He read the Grafton deliv-
cred on that occasion by Henry g.
Grady. He also quoted paragraph

that the Confederacy was still de-
voted to Davis and the Lost Cause.
Then he quoted Grady's recent
speech at the New York banquet, in
which he poured taffy all over the
North, and ON which occasion Ingalls,
demanded to know, did Grady utter
the true sentiment of his heart?

The Slayer of Business Manager Whit- tIesey of the New London Day Put on Trial.
 NORWICH, Ct., Jan. 17.-Fred A. s. Perry of New London was put upon trial to-day in the New London county Superior court for the murder on August 8, 1887, of E. c. Whit tlesey, business manager of the New London Day. Perry was provoked to the deed by an article which appeared in the Day August 3, 1887, entitled 'tFred Perry, crank upon dogs" A double panel of jurors were pres ent and twenty-six were called before the jury was completed, fourteen for various causes being challenged and retiring. Perry, who is lean, seedy and cadaverous looking fellow, occupied the prisoners dock, showing I little interest in the proceedings and appear
 ing as light mentally as he is physically The court room was crowded with spectators. 1 The first witness called for the State was Dr.. Nelson, who testified that Whittlesey was shot just below the right nipple, the bullet passing through his lungs and becoming em- bedded in his backbone; and that sixty six ! ounces of blood were taken from the pleural cavity after his death. Deputy Sheriff Car roll, of New London, testified that Perry was

 and if the law does not give me satisfaction l I'll take the law in my own hands," Half 8

 came to the office about 10 o'clock and in- quired who was the editor of "that infamous | and scandalous paper called the Week, and
 after calling on MT. Whittlesey to retract, I while he assured Perry he had nothing to dc with it, fired two shots with fatal results.
 Other corroborative evidence was offered. At 4 o'clock the State completed it's evidence. l The defense then called A. w. Griswold of l New York, who testified that in April, 1875, I Fred AS.

Run Down By a Flying Express
 and a Terrible tumble EnsueE.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-The mail train which crossed Thirty-frst street like a flash on the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific road last night about 10 o'clock struck the forward part of a street car on Thirty-frst street and carried it from the track at least fifty feet. The horses were thrown off on one side of the engine, while the driver clinging to the lines landed on the cow-catcher and was sf- terward dragged off as the horses went roll ing over and over. The pilot caught in the side of the car, but pulled when the car fell over. The first mail car caught the street car and dragged along until the engineer could stop his engine. None of the passen- gers in the street car were killed, but several were badly bruised and had to be removed to their homes. The crossing gates were up. The dagman said the chains were out of order and he could not operate the gates.

No Grounds for the Contest Made by Thoebe.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The report of the election committee on the Thoebe-Carlisle contest made to the House to-day by Chair man Crisp, after a recital of the offer of the contestants counsel to prove certain allega- tions, says that as the notice of contest fails to specify them grounds of contest the we'll established rule will be 8 sufficient neg ative answer to the application. To induce the House to order new hearing of his case, the contestant must show diligence in the use of the time allowed him by statute; but in this case he took testimony on only seven of the fifty days allowed, made no effort to procure evidence, svowed that he never wanted to enter into the contest and that he would like to get out of it; that he did not want to pay out money in the matter and had been forced into it by the labor clubs and his desire to repel the inn putation that had been cast upon him that he and his counsel had been bought. In the opinion of the committee the lachesse of the contestant and his counsel have been such as to preclude him from asking the further indulkence of the House. Very careful con slderation of the papers satisfies the com mittse beyond doubt that no one of the substantial averments of the contestant could be established by satisfactory proof
 The committee comedies the right of the House to investigate the title of the contestee to seat, even if the contestant has been guilty of such negligence as to preclude him as party. But it fails to see anything in the present case calling for an inquiry by the House for it's own vindication or to purge itself of 8 member unelected in fact. After thus disposing of the application for an extension, the committee takes mp the case as shown by the record and finds that no evidence was had which sup ports or tends to support any one of the fifty specifications filed by the contestant His witnesses prove nothing tending to impeach the fairness of the election. The technical point that the judges of election in Trimble county were all Democrats the committee dls- misses with the statement that it does not follow that the State law was violated in that particular and cites the case of Barnes vs. Adams in the Forty first Congress as prece- dent In conclusion the committee reports a resolution declaring Carlisle and not Phoebe ala

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Speaker Carlisle was taken with another chill at o'clock this morning and Dr. Sewers, his physician, was hastily summoned and remained at his bed- side for some time. Later the Speaker slept quietly and his symptoms were more favor able.
 At nine o'clock tonight Dr. Sewers said MT. Carlisle was resting quietly and on the whole was considerably better than he was this morning. He had. however, another chill during the afternoon to which the doc tor seemed to attach little importance. The chills, he said, were caused by intestinal dis turbances which were primarily the result of overwork and disturbed digestion. The doc tor said he did not regard MT.

Notwithstanding the severe storm MT. John L. Stoddard was greeted by very large au- dience at the Hyperion Theater last evening. The subject, "The splendors of the Pyrenees, , was ably treated, and it was the most inter- esting and enjoyable lecture of the present series. MT. Stoddard passed several weeks last summer among the scenes which he graphically described and of which he has secured some excellent views. The lecture was full of personal "reminiscences and lively descriptions of the hotels, hot springs, gla- ciers and guides of the Pyrenees. The illus trations were the best MT. Stoddard has ex- hibited here and the audience signifed it's appreciation of them and of the lecture by frequent and well deserved applause. The next lecture will be given on Tuesday, Janu- ary 31, and the subject is ''Lord Byron"
