day; his man was appointed. and thus
the whole of the federal patronage in
Virginia turned over to the DO IS spoils
man. A remarkable fact in connection
with this appointment Is that it was
made in opposition to the earnest pro-
test of Mr.. BLAINE, who has never had
any love for MALONE, and who ex-
erted his influence in dethroning him.
In by-gone days MALONE was one OF
CoNKLING's pets, and In 1884 he used
the machine, of which he then had con-
troll, to prevent BLAINE from getting
delegation from Virginia-an episode
that led to split among the Virginia
Republicans and the final overthrow of
Mahoneism. Now, President HAIR
RIsoN proposes to restore MALONE to
supremacy in Virginia politics. and, by
doing SO, to prevent all possibility of
Republican success in any of the South
ern states. There is nothing that will
keep the Southern states so sOlidly Dem
ocratic as the knowledge that politicians
Of the MALONE type are to have full
swing under this administration. And
it will likewise have the effect of turn
ing the doubtful Northern states
toward Democracy.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION.

The Fargo Argus insists that, now the
constitution makers are elected, the
minority system should have fair con-
sideration on its merits. The twO-thirds
plan used under the enabling act in the
election of the conventions is not prin-
ciple or system, but temporary expedi-
ent. 1t did well enough in that case,
but would not do for steady business.
The Argus editor was familiar with the
Illinois plan for many years. and says
he has yet to see the first resident of
that state, Democrat or Republican, to
object to the system as in use there.
Under it, he adds, the majority always
rules, but is kept in check by strong
minority. which is wholesome condi-
ton. Other fair-minded Dakota papers
are disposed to treat the question more
considerably than they were inclined,
as they find that it is not SO much of a
bugaboo as itappeared. The admission
act requires that it shall be voted on in
South Dakota in October. and it is
probable that the convention in the
North will also submit it as an amend
ment.

MICHIGAN has tried for number of

that there will be return to the old

for the rope, if that works as well in
other states as anticipated.

IT WILL perhaps be recalled that Gen.
RICHARD ROwETT, one Of the most
daslling soldiers Illinois sent to the
war. dropped dead at the races in Chi
cagO last June. He was horse enthu
siast. and had devoted his attention
chiefly since the war to growing thor
oughbred turf stock. He had put out
many fine animals, but had been disap-
pointed in the fact that all fell little
short of the big things. He sold the
dam of Spokane just before the birth of
that suddenly famous steed, and one Of
his stock now dazzles the field. Could
the general have lived to see the vic
tory on the Kentucky Derby, he would
have been willing to die. 1t would
have been to him as eXhllarating as
great victory in the war.
The English house of commons
every year passes the bill to allow a

The Prince of Wales is said to have
voted for it this time. and the opposing
majority was much less than usual.
This aristocrattc branch of the law
making power does not often put itself
in opposition to the elective and popular
body. Its obstruction would not be toll
Grated in cases where the public mind
was greatly stirred. There are prob
ably matters of privilege and property
involved in the question, and the upper
house is not to be reached directly by
the popular voice. 1t represents class
and aristocratic interests.
THERE is sharp rivalry betwee n Illi-
nois and Ohio as to which shall get near
est the head in the census next year.
In 1850 Ohio was ahead by 10000 and
the third among the big states, and it
claims that it will hold its position.
Ohio did the heaviest voting last year,
but that is not conclusive, as the Ohio
man always was a remarkable voter.
Still. Ohio will probably keep little in
advance, as it has more cities than Illi-
nois. The growth of both states will be
found confined almost entirely to the
cities. The farming regions usually
hold their own. Chicago, however, has
pulled far ahead OF Cincinnati.

The regulators understood and gave
chase to the thief. As soon as they got
within range they opened fire.
1t was almost dark, and the figure of
the man on the stolen. horse was too in
distinct to be recognized.
For some time he kept his lead. Sud
denly his animal stumbled. One of the
shoes was coming loose.
In another minute the pursuers were
well within range.
Before the fleeing rider could olsen
tangle himself from his stumbling horse
the regulators were close to him. He
turned as he got to his feet, and then
plunged into the brush.
They saw his face as he turned and

An agent of tho Drawbaugh telephone
says that the interests of the Peoples COM
pany have been consolidated with those of

changes in the supreme court bench by death

The United States consuls in Spain and
Italy report heavy immigration from those
countries.
Consul Horatio J. Sprague writes from
Gibraltar under date of July 9, to the state
department as follows: 1.-The continued ex-
tenslve Italian emigration to the Argentine
Republic now seems to have extended to the
Spanish laboring classes. A Spanish steam
vessel left this port on the 1st inst. for
Buenos Ayres with over 800 Spanish pas
sengers, two-thirds of them having taken
passage at this port, most of whom came
from towns and villages in the province
OF Andalqsia. Tho circumstance TAX
ing place just at the moment of the har-
vest season throughout Spain, would in
dtcate that Che agricultural condition of that
Kingdom does not improve, but that, on the
contrary, it is becoming still moe discour-
aging for the laborer as to oblige him to
abandon his home in search of better wages
If not a happier existence | understand
that emlgrant companies, established in the
Argentine Republic through their agents in
Spain, encourage, to an unlimited extent
Spanish emigration to that republic, and
that every facility is afforded to those willing
to proceed thther for agricultural and
mining purposes. Such an extensive drain
upon the population of Spain, if continued,
must ultimately cause serious influence upon
its laboring and artisan resources, which at
the best of times have not been over plentiful
and should, | presume, call the attention Of
the ruling powers of Spain in coming to
some kind of relief of a stalwart class of
population which, under other circumstances
should be under no necessity to seek that
relief in emigrating to such a distance from
their native country"
Consul Philip Carroll writes from Parler-
mo, Italy, as follows: Emigration from
Italy during 1883 was largely in excess Of
any previous year. According to Roman
authority it amounted to 300, Isl persons
Many reasons are assigned therefor, but the
best perhaps, is that the people embraced
in the number referred to desired to seek
homes in which their conditions and pros
poets would be enhanced"

Terrible Death by ELECTRICITY.

Tortured to death by electricity, sixty feet
above the surface of the street, was the hor-
rible ending of the life of lineman of thu
Brush Electric Light Company, of Buffalo,
N. Y. Hugh Ferry was sent up pole to do
some work. A few minutes later he was
seen writhing in agony on the network of
wires. A Hayes ladder was raised close to
the pole. Ferry's hand was burned black
by the current. Fireman Lawler had to
risk his life to get the man down. Bracing
himself on the upper rounds of the ladder, he
drew Ferry's twitching body towards him.
Shocks of electricity passed through his
arms while he did SO. Once Lawler nearly
lost his hold The wire which he had
to cut would let Ferry down to the
pavement Lawler pulled him over,
got his head between his legs, and made
a quick clip at the wire. The lineman's body
swung down and was caught by another
fireman 1t was so full of electricity that
the two men could hardly hold it until a
rope was attached to Ferry and he was let
down. The doctors could do nothing, but
took him off to hospital, where he died
forty minutes after he was discovered. Such
excruciating torture as he suffered during
that time it is impossible to conceive. Law
ler, who reached the victim about fifteen
minutes after he had begun to toss about on
his wire deathbed, says that Ferry was proha-
bly, conscious, though speechless but by the
time he got him to the ground he must have
been unconscious. THAT mans tortures, -
said Fireman Lawler, ''were worse than
ANYTHING can imagine could be inflicted on
the damned. 1t Is q horrible experience
that win never fade from my mind I goS
pretty severe shocks, but / was so horrifed
In watching him that hardly noticed the
effect" -

How to Get Married Cheaply.

A bitter rate war is going ON between two
rival matrimonial agencies in Jacksonville,
Ind, and some slashing cuts have already
b en- made in the line of fees. The matri-
monial agent is growth belonging exelu-
sively to Jeffersonville. His duties are to
watch the ferryboats, and when he sees
couple who look like elopers in search of
matrimony, he introduces himself and agrees
for a specified sum to furnish every
thing required for wedding. The bust
ness is peculiar, but it pays, The Oldest
and best-known agency is under the manage
ment of John Howse, and another &C i've
concern is operated by William Kratz and
until recently the men have been good
friends, and have respected each others
rights TO thu business. Bya special arrange
ment with the magistrates, the figures have
been cut down from $3.50 to $3 for com
plete matrimonial outfit license, ceremony
and all, including the services of a profes
sional swearer to make oath to the lady's
age. About a week ago, Kratz contracted
to pilot country couple over and attend to
their case for S. On the boat, Howse
offered to do the job for ST. and then the
row began. The rival agents cut the rate
81 at a time until Kratz offered to do the
work for nothing.

BOSTON MARKETS.

The -four market rules about the same, the
only change noted being drop in spring
patents. In corn meal there is drop of 2
cents per bag; otherwise figures are the same.
Trade is slow in rye -four, but prices are
steady. The oatmeal market continues quiet.
The demand for oats continues light, and
spot goods move slow. Most of the business
on the new crop has been in lots to arrive.
There is no noticeable change in mill feed.
Butter-Choice creameries are still very
firm and in good demand at full and un.
changed prices. The market is well sup
piled with such and prices are easy. Sp 1cial
brands of choice Western creamery butter
are very firm Low grades are in excessive
supply, but there is no market to speak of
for them. Diaries ale in limited demand
and moderate supply Imitation and ladle
goods are quiet and unchanged.
Eggs The market continues very firm and
the situation is not materially changed Re
c ipts and offerings are very light and there
is a ood demand prevailing.
Petatees-The tone of the market is
cas- ier, owing to the comparatively large re-
ceipts which has rendered the supply offer
ing very large. There is a fair demand,
but prices cannot be sustained Sweets are
also easier, owing to the large receipts, not
withstanding that there is very fair de-
mand.
Hay and Straw.-Hay is unchanged Re-
ceipts are more liberal, but the market is
firm on choice The demand is fair, and
sales of fancy hay are being made above
quotations. Common grades are quiet. Rye
straw is dull.
Pork and Lard.-Trade is picking up, and
the market is flrmer. Pork is selling better,
and cuts are higher. Lard is firmer. Hams
and smoked meats are in good demand and
steady in price.
Beans he market is barely steady only,
owing to the continued light demand Re-
ceipts are moderate but supplies are ample.
Pea beans have been having steady though
moderate demand. Mediums are in light
supply and firm. Yellow Eyes are scarce
and but little called fer, while prices are
steady.

Suicide Over Mag CARA.

A BROOKLYN woman committed suicide at
Niagara Falls in the most sensational man
ner, She regist red as Mrs Lawrence,
Brooklyn, NY. She went down to Prospect
park, and was there some time before she
made her fatal venture. Finally she delb-
erately walked to the little step-off place in
tho park about $50 feet from the brink,
threw her parasol and pocketbook into the
rapids, and jumped in herself. There was
crowd around. and they helplessly watched
the woman as she fioated to certain
death. She laughed, but not in
sanely, so the eye-witnesses say. When al
most at the brink an eddy caught her,
twirled her around, and she went over head
first into the abyss below. All the way
down she had smiled and laughed and waved
her hands, and this she kept up even when
going head first over the falls. A photog-
rapher tried to take view of the suicide,
but the torrent was too quick for him. In
less than five minutes the woman's dress was
washed ashore not far from the foot of the
falls, and ten minutes later her naked body
came up in the still water ne ,r
the new suspension bridge and fioated on its
dark green surface. 1t was sight that will
never be forgotten. Her neck had evidently
been broken when she plunged head fore
most over tho cataract. The corpse foated
down few hundred feet and touched a cur
rent which pulled it under the surface and
it was not seen afterward. A most careful
search of the room occupied by Mrs. Law
renee failed to reveal anything further about
her.

A UNIVERSITY WRECKED.
The Johns Hopkins College Ruined
by a Cessation of Its Income.

by a Cessation of Its Income.
Johns Hopkins, the kindly old Quaker, be-
queathed to the university which bears his
name almost 81, 900, 00l in Baltimore & Ohio
railroad stock. For, 10 years the school
grew and fiourished. New buildings were
erected and valuable addition was made
to the library and apparatus But to say
that everything about the university was
satisfactory to the trustees, to the faculty or
to the people of Baltimore would not be in
accord with the truth Prof. Gilman soon
began to urge that the foundation of the
university be placed on something more sub
stantial than a railroad stock OF all that
board of trustees there was one who really
objected to such transfer of the CndoW-
ment, and that was President John W. Gar
rett of the Baltimore & Ohio The univer-
sty held 1900 shares, of a par value of ST.
500, 900, and market value of a good deal
more than S3,0000 000 The annual dividend
of this stock was $780, 900.
To men Of sense it was a most reckless
thing to thus risk the permanenoe of tho in
come. When at last the crash came and the
payment of divide dis ceased, it is sail that
some of the trustees shed tears over the wip-
ing out of the funds of the university. No
more sorrowful meeting of school trustees
than that which followed the disaster was
ever held.
The expenses of the university We're about
S130, 900 year. 1t would not do to close
the university Would the teachers accept
reduction of salarie? They would. They
will not tell how much the cut was, but it is
commonly said to have been 10 per cent.
Other economical measures were adopted,
and all schemes for enlarging the usefulness
of the university toward its intended scope
were abandoned. If 100000 could be raised
it would keep the university running during
the years $50 and 1891. BY that time they
would know what to expect from the Balti-
more 81 Ohio stock The money was pledged,
and it is now certain that the work of the
faculty of philosophy will b. continued dur
ing that time. The sole and only hope Of
even in its present scope is In the rehabilta-
tion of the Baltimore 81 Ohio stock, and the
chances for such thing are said to be small

WRANGLE OVER A CAT.
A Providence Feline the Object of a
Lawsuit.

A decision in novel case has been made
in Providence, R. l., the first of the kind on
record. About two years ago Mrs M. w.
Demunn bought two cats from lady in
Great Darlington. One of these having be-
come thoroughly domesticated was Ii aimed
in many ways. Six months ago the trained
cat disappeared, and after thorough can
vass of the neighborhood it, or one very
closely resembling it, was found in the
possession of Miss Caroline Richmond. A
demand was made for the feline, which was
repudiated and Immediately these
two families went to law Mrs.
Demunn employed eminent counsel and had
a writ of attachment issued, while the high
sheriff of the county was directed to go out
and bring in the animal. Miss Richmond
again refused to give up the cat, and suit
was begun; but it was ascertained that there
Is no property in cat and hat the suit
could not be maintained. Finally, after
much persuasion, Miss Richmond signed an
agreement to submit to arbitration, and the
master iE chancery, Hon. Samuel W, Peck
ham, was directed to takc evidence, The
case involved proof of the birth of the two
cats and other papers. As finale, the
Demunn party produced an ex-
pert from Poughkeepsie, who was
the only man in the country who
the cat line, a professional animal
trainer, who proved the age of the female
cat by her teeth, and then showed that the
cat in dispute was of the same age. The
master in chancery awarded the cat to Mrs.
Demunn. Miss Richmond, under the terms
of the agreement to submit to arbitration, is
to pay all the costs of this novel case, less
the big fee paid to the Poughk epsie expert,
All the city is laughing oyer tho absqrdity
of the affair, but the Dlmunns say that they
pushed their claim and the case on principle
