THEY sETTLE WITH GUNS.

". B Hast Receives Two Loads Of Shot IN Q Quar-
rel Fear Allen Monday.
Monday noon near Allen, in the
northern part OF the county, a quarrel
occurred which viii, in all probability,
result in the death of W. r.
Rust. Rust lives about three miles north
of Allen and the young men who are
under arrest for the killing, William
and Frank Stops, live about one and
one-half miles northwest of the little
city. They have had several quarrels
of late over disputed right to the hay
on piece Of praire land in that neigh
borhood, one having a lease from the
owner who resides in the east and the
other lease from the owners agent in
this city.
About noon Monday they met and
the trouble was renewed. The two
brothers were on one side and Rust
and two friends represented the other
side. From words they went TO guns
and one of the Stops fired two loads
of shot into the abdomen of Rust, while
the other covered one Of Rust's friends
with a revolver but the gun refused to
go off. Rust was taken to his home
and at midnight was still alive,
but the physician entertained nc
1 hope of his recovery.
Word was sent to this city and at
nine o'clock Tuesday night Under
Sheriff Vernon started for Allen. He
returned about 8 O'Clock yesterday
morning with the Stops brothers
LATER PARTICULARS
Frank Stops is about thirty-fOul
years of age and is married. William
is single and between twenty-five and
thirty years of age, and i
was he that fired the TIVE
shots that took effect IN Rust's body

The Crown Princes Condition.

The dispatches leave no room TO hope that
the Crown Prince of Germany will recover.
HIS disease is steadily progressing, and it is
probable that his death will occur in few
months and, perhaps, in few weeks. The
English doctor, Mackenzie, and the German
doctors don't get along tremendously. The
German doctors are jealous of Mackenzie,
and are trying to displace him. 1t is re-
ported that he and Prof Bergman had
serious misunderstanding, and that he re-
fused to consult with the professor.
The way Mackenzie came to be in attend
ance upon the Prince is rather interesting.
1t appears that the Prince had been troubled
with hoarseness for more than year before
it was thought necessary to consult physi-
clan, and then Prof. Bergman was sum-
mOned. After a careful examination of the
Princes throat he told the Princess that the
Prince was suffering from cancer, and that
he would never be well man again. The
Princess was so excited and angry that, ac
cording to report, she slapped the physi-
clan IS face. 1t was long time before the
professor would consent to have anything
more to do with the Princes case.
L
mother, Queen Victoria, and the result was
the celebrated English specialist, Macken-
ze, was called to Berlin The Princess has
always been very ambitious to occupy the
throne with the Prince, but there is a law
in Germany which prohibits any one af-
hicted with an incurable disease from be-
coming Emperor. If the opinion of Prof.
Bergmann were accepted as final, the Crown
Prince could not occupy the throne even if
he should live longer than his father, the
Emperor William. 1t was hoped, therefore,
that Mackenzie's opinion would be that the
Crown Prince was not afflicted with cancer,
and that was the opinion he gave. He has
since, it is understood, changed it.
Germany is threatened now with a double
misfortune-the death of the Emperor and
the Crown Prince. The Crown Princes
son, Prince William, who would then be-
come Emperor, is not popular with the peo-
pie He is, however, great favorite with
Bismarck, and Bismarck admires him. 1t is
probable that if Prince William should be-
come Emperor, Bismarck would be the real
ruler of Germany, and that many radical
changes would be made, particularly in the
army.

Senator Stockbridge's Farm.
From the NelO YORK Sun,

Senator Stockbridge is the owner of a very
fine farm. just one mile outside the city of Kali
amazoo, in which historic town he has his home
On this farm he has some valuable horses, most
of them beng fast stock. Senator Stockbridee
purchased a colt one year ago from Senator
Stanford for 5000. week ago the Michigan
Senator received a telegram making him an Of
fer of $4,000 for his colt. He took the offer
into consideration and when he was in Mic i
gan few days ago attending the Republican
love feast, he closed the bargain for his colt for
the sum of $4,000. The name of this fancy
priced colt is Bell Boy He was sired by Elec-
tioneer, dam Beautiful Bells During the season
of 1887 he won s., 800 in stake races and made a
record of 2:26 as 2-yearId This record has
never been beaten by colt of Bell Boys age
and the figure for which he was sold is the
largest sum ever paid for a three year-old stall
lion in America. He was purchased from Sena-
tor Stockbrdge by horsemen in Frankfort, XIV
Senator Stockbridge's colleague, Senator Pal
mer, who is also lover of fine stock sent an
agent recently to Arabia to purchase five full
blOoded Arabian mares which he desired to cross
with Percheron horses in order to get a new
breed The agent, who has reached Damascus
notified Senator Palmer that he has received i'm,
formation that the Sultan has just issued a fir
man that no more horses shall be taken out of
the country. The agent will not give up vet.
however. as he sill hopes for success by means
of American gold Senator Palmer thinks that
if any such firman was issued by the Sultan il
was brought out in anticipation of war

The Revenue Bill.

1t is now clearly known what the majority
of the Ways and Means Committee propose
in the way of reduction of the surplus.
The tariff bill, which was presented to the
full committee on last Thursday, reduces
the revenue from customs about $50 ,000, 900,
but an increase of about So 600 results
from some of the changes proposed, so that
the reduction is about $4,000, 900 The
bill that was submitted to the WAYS and
Means Committee yesterday makes a reduc-
ton of about $25, 900, 600 in the internal
revenue. OF this sum $50, 000, 900 comes
from tobacco and 5000, 900 from fruit
brandies and other things. The total re-
duction which the two bills mako is be-
tween s60,000.000 and sos, 100000. They
have been united and make one bill
This is not as great reduction as there
should be. 1t is not as great as the surplus
of the revenue is. The difficulties which
will be encountered in passing any tariff
bill, however, makes it necessary for the
bill to be a conservative one.
Now that it is known what is proposed in
the way of tariff and internal revenue legis-
lation, the Democrats should make every
effort to harmonize whatever differences
they may have with regard TO the bill
so as to insure its speedy passage through
the House. The Republicans will of course
oppose it, but when it is
through the House the Democrats will have
done their duty, and if it is de-
feated in the Senate the responsibility for a
failure to reduce the surplus will rest upon
the Republicans.

HOW BIG ARE THE WAVES?
Exaggerated Notions as to the Turbu-
lency of the Storm-Swept Sea.

Exaggerated Notions as to the Turbu-
lency OF the Storm-Swept Sea.
From the Scotsman.
1t is very common phrase to speak of the
waves during storm as running mountains
high" but this really means nothing. Accu-
rate measurements made by Scoresby proved
that, during storms waves in the Atlantic rare
ly exceed 43 feet from hollow to crest, the dis
lance between the crests being 500 feet, and
their speed 32I42 miles an hour. More recent
observations in the Atlantic give from a feet to
AZ feet as the highest measured waves; but such
heights are rarely reached, and. indeed waves
exceeding 30 feet are very seldom encountered
The monsoon waves at Kurrachee breakwater
works were found to dash over the wall to the
depth of Is feet, or about 40 feet above mean
sea-level.
The greatest heights of waves on the British
coast were those observed in Wick Bay-so ia
nous for the exceptionally heavy seas which
roll into it-being 3715 to 40 feet. Green seas
to the depth of Is feet poured over the parapet
of the breakwater at intervals of from seven to
ten minutes, each wave, it was estimated be-
ing mass of 40, 900 tons of water, and this con
tinuouSly for three days and nights The iron
pile lighthouse erected on the Bishop Rock was
carried away by unbroken seas Striking the
dwelling, the floor of which was IS feet above
high water. A tower of granite was subse-
quently erected on the Bishop, and in 1860 the
waves carried away the fog bell, weighing 3
cwt at ar elevation of 100 feet above the sea
In the Shetland Islands blocks of stone have
been quarried at the height of 20 to IS feet
above the mean sea level.
But these ms ances of the action of the
waves during storms sink into insgnif1cance
when it is mentioned that blocks of concrete
weighing 1850 to $500 pounds respectively were
carried away by the repeated assaults OF the
wild rollers of Wick Bay. The depth to which
wave action extends has been differently esti-
mated. but it varies from 30 to $50 feet as shell
fish which are known only to live at these depths
are thrown upon the shore during heavy gales
and it has been ascertained that shingle is moved
i'll depth of 50 feet. For all practical plr-
poses, however, so far as harbor works are con
cerned, it is found that there is little movement
of materials under is to 20 feet below water the
foundations of breakwaters hitherto constructed
not having been disturbed below these levels.

A Northern paper comes back at the Re-
publicans who raise the cry that the South
is in the saddle" by declaring that Gen.
Grant put the South there. 1t was Grant
says this paper, who made Akerman, Of
Georgia, Attorney General; who sent Mos
by, of Virginia, to represent this govern
ment in a foreign country and who placed
Thomas Settle, of North Carolina, on the
bench OF United States District Court. If
1t was right, it goes on to say, TO appoint
men like these to responsible government
positions, is it not right to repeal the law
which debars each of them from holding a
commission in the military service Of the
country The Northern paper does not
quite grasp the situation. In the opinion
OF some Republicans, it is right for a Re
publican TO appoint Southern men TO Office,
but wrong for Democrat TO do SO.

New York's Growth.

The Herald calls attention to the growth
of New York city since 1865 1t certainly
has been marvellous, and the prospect is that
its growth in the next quarter of a century
n w aith and population will be greater
than it has been in the last.
In 1865 the city had population of 1885,
900, the assessed value of its real estate was
$427, 100000, its incoming ard outgoing
commerce reached $400, 600, 600 year and
it occupied twenty square miles of territory
Now its population is about l,500, 900, the
assessed value of its real estate is over
81, 300, 900, 000 its annual commerce amounts
to $500, 900 and it occupies forty square
miles of territory.
Those who predict that New York will
be the greatest city of the world within
comparatively brief period have considera-
BILE reason for their prediction. 1t is more
than probable that at the close of the pres
ent century it will have a population of
100000, and that its wealth will be more
growth keeps pace with that of the country,
and the country's growth is wonderful
New York is not alone a commercial CITY,
1t exceeds every other in the country in
manufacturing industries. Commerce and
manufactures combined make it great
New York is gradually drawing the
wealth of the country into her lap 1t is
the city to which the people of the whole
country go. 1t is not only place to visit
and rest, but place from which to start to
other places. Within its limits are most of
thu country's millionaires, and at different
times during each year nearly all the promi-
nent men of all the States can be found
within its hotels.
The railroads and steamships that carry
the products and people of the country
either have their headquarters in that city
or have offices there, and they are largely
owned there. There are few railroads
North, West or South upon which New
York hasn't a hold of some kind. Yes, New
York is wonderful city, and her growth
Is watched with an increasing interest.

Notwithstanding it was recently denied
in the dispatches that Secretary Bayard
was engaged to be married, the Washington
newspaper men seem determined to provide
him with wife. The rumors connecting
his name with that of Mrs. Folsom are
being revived, presumably because Mrs.
Folsom has gone to Paris, where she is re-
ported TO have done some shopping There
may be some truth in the rumor, for from
all accounts Mrs Folsom is a very charm
ing woman, and the Secretary could not
be blamed for admiring her, but the cor
respondents ought to know that every
woman who goes shopping is not buying
her wedding outfit.
