A SERIOUS CHARGE.

1t Is Alleged that he Received and
Opened Another Mans Letter.
John Craft was before United States
Commissioner Stevenson this morning
charged upon the affidavit of Post.office
Inspector Satterfield, with having taken
a letter from the post-offioe at Waco,
written for Mrs. j. w. Ussery, of
Luling and addressed to her husband J.
w. Ussery, at Waco, contrary to the
statutes. Post-office Inspector Satter-
field represented the government, the
prisoner was undefended.
From the evidence 1t appeared that
Mrs. Thomas A. Moody wrote the letter
in question for Mrs. Ussery and that her
husband (rhomas M. Moody saw 1t and
posted 1t at the Luling post-office ad-
dressed to James W. Ussery at Waco,
Texas. About month after Mr.. Moody
again saw the same letter open In the
possession of Mrs. Kittie Craft, wife of
the prisoner, who declared that she had
received it from her husband.
1t Is assumed therefrom that Craft
had gone to the post-office, applied for
the letter, received it. opened 1t and re-
turned 1t, as it was never received by
James w. Ussery. Ussery and Craft
are related by marriage.
The penalty for the offence is one
years imprisonment or one thousand
dollars fine.
The case was still proceeding when
the reporter left.

Happy Homes.

Much has been written and said about how
to make home happy. The moralist and the
preacher have hackneyed this theme until it
would seem nothing more RENAME to he said.
But the philosophers have gone far out of
their way to account for the prevalence Of i'll
assorted couples aud unhappy homes, and
have overlooked the chief cause. Most of the
unhappIness of married life can be traced d.
rectly to those functional arrangements to
which women are subject. In nine cases out
eff ten the irritable, dissatisfied and unhappy
wife is sufferer from some "femae COM

An Amicable Caucus.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The demo-

about 1875 members Of the house. Speak

throughout, and several Of the represen-

threatening character. The caucus did
not attempt In any way ito

A Noble Edifice In Ruins.


BUFFALO, May lO.--This mol ming was
decidedly sensational and disastrous
one in Buffalo. A plumber Of explosions
of natural gas occurred almost stimuli
taneously, caused, as supposed, by over
pressure, and caused widespread ex-
element, besides destroying the finest
church in Buffalo, and doing other dam
age. st. Paul's cathedral, the pride
and glory Of Buffalo, is in ruins,
the entire interior is burned out,
the roof is gone, but the strong
stone walls, and graceful spirs remain.
At $3.50 o'clock the flames were seen
bursting out of the fine stained glass
windows Of the church at the junction
OF Main and Erie streets; instantly most
Of the interior was one mass Of flames.
The explosion had occurred in the base
ment, the furnace being supplied with
natural gas, and the force was so great
as to tear of and blow out the heavy
doors on the Erie and Pear street sides.
The people ran to see what was the
matter, and few entered the
vestibule OF the church, only to
be driven out by the flames.
The alarm was at once turned in the
fire department., and quickly responded
to, but when they arrived nothing could
be done to save the interior of the edifoe.
The fire In few moments had reached
the heavily timbered roof; in half hour
from the time Of discovery tie interior
Of the noble church, was completely
destroyed. Rev. DR.. Brown retires
from the rectorship next month.

The Bad Outlook for Wool Buyers
and the Reasons for 1t.
Col. W. j. Mcnamara has received
the following letter from his Boston wool
commission merchants, which will prove
interesting as to the outlook for wool.
The firm says:
Boston, May 4, 1888.
Mr.. W. ]. Mcnamara:
In regard to wool. we do not care to
receive any at present. as we find 1t i'm
possible to make sales and have some on
hand which we cannot sell. All we can
say Is to advise you to look out, as the
present outlook for the new clip that is
coming on Is very blue, as no one
could buy these woods except as such
low figures that the owners would hard
ly be expected to accept. There are
many reasons why the price must rule
low this spring. First, quite quantity
OF old wool is still In dealers hands; sec
ond, manufacturers still buying from
hand to mouth and will not contract
ahead their product until the tariff ques-
ton is settled, therefore will only buy
from hand to mouth; third, 1t 10 presi-
dental year and business 10 nearly al
ways dull and unsatisfactory those
years; so Just look out In making pur-
ohases Of wool. There is little enoour-
agement for any good trade in any kind
OF merchandise this spring.
Very truly yours,
HAsKINs & MONTAGUE.

HAPPINESS.

The foundation of all happiness is health. A
man with an imperfect digestion may be a
millionaire, may be the husband of an angel,
and the father of half dozen cherubs and
yet may be miserable If he be troubled with
dyspepsia or any of the disorders arising from
imperfect digestion or a sluggish liver. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the
safest and surest remedy of these morbid con-
ditions. Being purely vegetable, they are
perfectly harmless.
