A Suspicious Death.

The death OF Charles Springer on
New Years Day was the cause of
considerable comment on the part
OF his neighbors. 1t was stated that
Mrs. Springer is in the habit OF using
morphine, and IA bottles containing
60 grains each were found in the
room, and that his death was due to
an overdose. Mr.. Springer was
clerk to the United States Army and
was supposed to suffer from
diptheria, but no inquest was held.
Mr.. Clark, the druggist, says Mrs.
Springer gave two doses Of morphine
to her husband on New Years day,
and between the first and second dose
he was seized with delirium and it
took a couple OF men to hold him
down. DIR. Heilard was called in and
pronounced that the man died of poi
soning. He was buried on January
Sd and died on January lst.

The President Cautions would

WAsuHaroN, January 3. - Presi-
dent Cleveland issued proclamation
to-day warning all persons claiming
to act az officers OF the county Of Greer
in the State OF Texas against selling
or disposing, and warning all persons
against purchasing lands lying be-
tween the north and south forks OF
the Red river and the hundredth de-
gree longitude, the jurisdiction over
the same being vested in the United
States as . part of the Indian Terri
tory, as was shown by the surveys
and investigation made on behalf OF
the people OF the United States,
which territory the State Of Texas also
claims title and jurisdiction over.
This proclamation. was necessitated,
owing to the inability Of the United
States and Texas Commissioners to
agree upon q point marking the boun-
diaries between the Indian Territory
and Texas.

CoLUMBus, O., January 5.-Goyer-
nor Foraker's message was read in
both Houses to- day. After dealing
with State questions he turns to the
subject OF the tariff, and under this
head the Governor says: cit was
generally supposed that we had heard
the last Of free trade, at least for the
time; but not SO. The recent mes
sage OF the President Of the United
States commits his administration
and the party he represents to most
unqualified and hostile opposition to
the entire principle and policy
OF a protective policy. He seeks to
make it appear that the blow he would
strike is aimed only at the rnanufac-
turing and wool-growing interest of
.the country, but it is manifest to all
mon of Intelligence, who are acquaint-
ed with our condition, that if his
propositions prevail, The consequences
will be disastrous to every industry
aud in every section of our country
and to more classes, more surely than
to our ia, mers, who must rely chiefly
onthe home markets for the sale of
our products, and our la boring people
who depend upon continuance Of
that general prosperity that has OBJ
tanned for the last quarter OF a CEN
fury, employment at remunerative
wages.

walked down the village street from the
residence of his Uncle Morse, which had been
his home since he became an orphan, some
years previous.
The Morses had never been to Chips lik-
ing. They were less so than ever just now.
They had made drudge and a slave ofhim,
and now, at the holiday season, all he had
received to celebrate on was solitary quar-
ter Of a dollar.
True, they had given him his board and
lodging, but he knew that he could earn
that, and O few dollars extra, almost any
where in the village. He was seriously
thinking of celebrating the approaching
change of year with a change of employers
as he proceeded toward the principal bust
ness street of the village.
The situation of affairs that called forth
Chips dissatisfied soliloquy was as fol-
lows:
The Morses had two old uncles, living one
at each end of the village. Uncle Cyrus was
selfish. tyrannical man. and nobody liked
him. He was shrewd. too. and it was gener-
ally known that relative in Chicago, a
Colonel Littleton, when he diod. intended to
