L Good Example.

Morgan county, Georgia, has challenged
the neighboring counties of Jasper, Put
nam, Oconee Newton, Walton, Green, and
| Hancock to compete with her for prize of
| $500 for the best home-rased colt, at the
| live stock show to be held in Madison Aug.
| 81, and it is probable that the challenge will
| be accepted by all the counties named.
This action on the part of the farmers
of Morgan is to be commended. 1t
will create renewed interest among
the people of that section in
live stock matters and a generous rivalry
in the raising of colts particularly, and
probably will result in the raising of Better
and more horses-an occupation that should
| be engaged In much more extensively in
Georgia than it is. No doubt some fine
colts will be entered for the $500 priz', be-
| cause in most of these counties consdera.
bic attention is paid to the raising of live
stock. An agricultural fair is held in Put
| nam each year, at which the exhibit of
horses, mules and colts is one of the best
features, and in each of the counties of
Morgan, Greene and Hancock an annual
| live stock show is held Newton used to
hold such fairs, but has not done 50 for
several years, and Oconee generally makes
exhibits Of live stock at the Northeast Geor-
gia Fair in Athens.
The farmers in those counties in which
special attention is given to live stock and
to other things besides cotton, corn and
grain are the most prosperous ones in the
state. Some Of them not only raise horses
and mules for their own use, but they have
them for sale. Others make money in the
dairy business, and still others supply the
tables of town people with various articles
of food. Ii the cotton crop is failure,
they have something to fall back upon
They save expense by raising what other
farmers buy. Their example should be
followed generally by the Georgia farmers
Such a course would keep in the state thou
sands of dollars that annually go out of it.

Legitfme Defeats HyppOlite-An Incipient
 Insurrection in San Domingo.
 NEW YORK, Feb 21.-Mate Cardiff, of the brig Telos, which arrived in port, reports tn; following news from Hayti: "We were at Monte Cristie from Jan. 21 to Feb 10. On the 27th we were informed by native that fighting had occurred on the day before at Fort Liberty, ten miles to the southwest, be- tween the main armies The fighting lasted we were afterward informed, for three days, after which Hyppolite retreated into the in terior. Other battles had occurred, hut honors were about evenly divided. The native who told us all this said that Legitime had had no difficulty in forcing landing at Fort Liberty, which was in command of Hyppolite
 The Telos also brought the news that a revolution had occurred at Port-au-Platte, San Domingo, in the latter part of December. A mob had assembled there for the avowed purpose of displacing the present president of San Domingo. A force of 800 men, compris ing the standing army, was sent against the insurgents, and so quietly was matters ar ranged that the rebels were taken by sur. prise The leaders fled to the mountains and their forces scattered in trice. Some of the leaders formed little bands and made excur- sions into the country, meeting the troops in slight skirmishes.
 On Jan. 3, on one of the excursions, the guards charged the insurgents, completely routing them. The rebels were surrounded and many cut down. Terms of surrender were asked, and the general in command of the government forces promised that all would be pardoned except the ringleadeIs, who had already been condemned to death. These terms were accepted. On Jan 10 the soldiers left the city with their captives for Samana, where the captives will be executed.

A Dakota Blizzard,

Little or no snow falls in Dakota from November to April. It is too cold to snow, and the blizzard is not snow storm dn the ordinary sense of the word), but cold wind which comes sweeping down from Behring Straits with velocity of from fifty to sixty miles an hour, bringing with 1t . blast of finely powdered Ice. Imagine thick fog, all of fec, blown along by high wind. Tho tiny particles, coming with such velocity, sting like @ blow from whip lash. Nothing can stand before it. Those buffalo and cattle who are used to it make for the lee side of the nearest hill, hay stack or building, and huddle close to- gsther for safety, trusting to being GOV cred by the snow, and thus kept warm; when, If the storm does not last too long. they may escape alive You cannot see across the street from one house to another, and man have been frozen to death within . few feet of home and safety. The thermometer falls many degrees below zero, beyond the power of mercury to measure; only the best spirit thermometers can be used for these low temperatures. When going with the wind you arc driven along with rssistless force; if against it, you are knocked down and buf- fstsd about; unless you are % fortunate as 0 dnd speedy help and shelter you are almoe1 sure to b. frozen to death. .-St NicholaA

The Question Raised in Ex-Umpire Deck
 CTS Law Suit.
 PITTSBURG, Feb. 21.-There was an inter- esting discussion of the standing of the Ma honal League in the common pleas court in connection with the case of ex-Umpire H. M. Decker against the league, to recover $1,3OO alleged to be due as salary, and $1O,OOO claimed for breach of contract J. Scott Ferguson, for the defendants asked the re- lease of Mir. Rogers, of the Philadelphia club, and President Young, of the league, from the summons. Neither, he said, had taken any part in the contract. Mir. Ferguson had also asked the quashing of the writ against the league upon the ground that it nowhere described what the organization was
 J. D. Watson, representing Decker, con- fessed that the writ had not been correctly drawn up. He had not properly described the league because he had not the slightest idea what to call it. He doubted if anybody at all knew. He was inclined to consider the league nothing but a trust-a combination of chartered corporations. MT. Watson con- cluded by offering to submit better writ. Decision was reserved Umpire Decker's friends hint that there will be suit for slan- der against Manager Horace Phillips, whose remarks concerning Decker's s'rottenness' they regard as uncalled for

 CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 21-Two votes were taken for United States senator by the legislature. Kenna went to pieces again, and it is very evident that his election is impossi- ble. The full vote of 91 members was boiled. The last ballot stood: Kenna, %; Golf, 43 J. A. Preston, IS; balance scattering; neces- sary to a choice, 46. All these who forsook Kenna voted for Preston, who is regarded as Kenna's bitter enemy. The legislature ad- journed until to-day.
 Immediately after the adjournment con ference was held by the Democrats but re- suited in nothing. Another conference was held, but it was not of long duration, but very interesting. Kenna appeared at the meeting in person. and paid quite heated compliments to the Democratic side of the legislature. He told them that never but one day had he received fair and honest sup port from the men who pretended to be his friends. He would never consent that another candidate be named in his place until such support had been given regularly and con- tinuously. Then, if his election seemed i'm possible, he would be willing to withdraw. The caucus then ended. The legislature has but two days more remaining of the present session

The Women of Philadelphia Hate to Have

The Women of Philadelphia Hate to Have
 One of the Sex Hanged.
 HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 21.-A c.S, before the board of pardons yesterday Was t!.at of Mrs. Sarah J. Whiteling, of Philadelphia. condemned to be hanged on March 3s. Mrs. Whiteling was convicted of tine murder of her daughter Bertha, aged 9 years, by ad- ministering poison. In addition to this crime her husband, John Whiteling, and a son, aged 2, suffered death by the same means at her hands
 The motive for the crimes was found in the fact that insurances aggregating between $500 and $4OO had been placed on the lives of the victims and was collected immediately upon their deaths by Mrs. Whiteling. Her at- torneys asked for the communication of her sentence for two reasons: first, ''because the imposition of the death penalty upon woman is abhorrent and repulsive to humanity, and particularly shocking to the women of Phila- delphia;;" and, second, because the evidence raises doubt as to the mental responsibility of the prisoner. With the papers was peti- don for the communication of the death sen- tence signed by great number of Philadel- phia women.

I1e hhS &4,OOu,uOO or Haytlan Govern
 ment Money Made to Order.
 NEW YORK, Feb 21.-Minister Preston's detectives state they have unearthed a new scheme whereby Gen. Hyppolte intends to make President Legitimes treasury pay the salaries of both the loyal and insurgent matched in New York. Some weeks ago Minister Preston received note from one of the bank note companies declining to make certain batch of Haytian stock and paper currency. Minister Preston had never asked to have this work done, and his suspicious were accordingly aroused and detectives were put to work. They say that they discovered that two agents of Hyppolite in New York ordered nearly s4,00o,O 900 in bank notes of various denominations, to be an exact copy of Haytian bank notes, asserting that the money was to be- made genuine as soon as it reached Haytl. According to Minister Pres ton two large bundles of crisp bills are now on their way to Hyppoite. They were shipped on the Clyde which sailed Saturday. The minister described the boxes of green backs as being marked "hthographs." An examination of the Clydes manifest devel- oped the fact that two boxes of Autographs were among her cargo. A representative of one of the bank note companies stated that certain parties had tried to have some Hay- tian money printed by the company, but the company declined. It is suspected that the balance of the $4, 100000 in paper money is on the Madrid or Carondelet

How Different States Compare in the
 Number of Divorces Granted.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Carroll D. Wright, sent to congress his report on marriages and divorces in the United States during the twenty years from 1867 to 1SS6 The report will make volume of 1000 pages, and will be the most interesting and exhaustive com pilation of the kind ever made in this coun- try or Europe. It gives digest of the laws relating to marriage and divorce in each of the states and territories; the number of divorces in each state; the number of chA- dren of divorced parents; the ratio of di- vorces to marriages and population in the states, and other interesting statistics By the tables presented in the report it is shown that while the increase in population from 1870 to 1880 was % 40 per cent, the in- crease in divorces was 79 per cent. In the number of divorces during these twenty years Illinois takes the lead with 36,O72; Ohio comes next with 26, ,367; Indiana granted 25, 19S; Michigan, 1s, 4S3; Iowa, 16,564; Penn sylvania, 16,o2o; New York, 15,355; Mis- souri, 15,27s; California, 12,11s; Texas, It, 472, and Kentucky, 10,24S

SENSATION IN A COLLEGE.

Young Lady Pupils Deem It a Digrace
 moral Professing Christian Minister"
 BoRDENrowN, N J., Feb 2l-The principal of the Bordentown Female college is the Rev. W. c. Bowen. The school stands on the high bank of the Delaware, and commands view of the river for miles. It has always enjoyed an excellent reputation. Lately, however, lan- guage objectionable to some pupils was used at a recitation of the senior class. The subject under discussion was the state of morals in England during the Seventeenth century as compared with that of the present day. The pupils were reading at the time from Welsh's English Literature" One of the pupils asked Professor Bowen whether the morals of that age were worse than those of to-day. In answering that question the girls say Pro- lessor Bowen gave number of facts relative to the immortality of the times which the question did not call for.
 He referred also to the danger of dancing in full dress with men. He thought girls should not accept bonbons or a glass of punch from gentlemen. The bonbons might be drugged. He also said, it is alleged, that any young girl who loved man enough to marry him would very often yield to him more than she ought.
  acter are alleged to have been used, and they so angered the girls, it is asserted, that they went at once to Mrs. Bowen, the prin- cipals wife, and demanded a new teacher, saying they would leave the school unless the demand were complied with. This request was also made to Professor Bowen, but he refused to grant it for the reason that, by so doing, be would virtually acknowledge that he was in error.
 The pupils thereupon prepared a statement of their grievances, and announced that they would inform their parents of what had oc- cured This they were forbidden to do Davies and Miss Brewer, of Philadelphia, two of the teachers, disobeyed an injunction laid upon them, and secretly mailed lot of letters for the pupils. For this they were ex- pelled. Miss Briggs, another teacher, at once rendered her resignation. Then all the senior class decided to leave, and after hay ing their photographs taken left for home
 Their names are Ellen D. Conklin, Hacken- sack; Isabel Boyd, Bradford Eva Camp, Crosswicks, N J.; Sallie Draper, Greensboro, Md. Lizzie Gildersleeve, Camden Del Mary E. Marshall, Camden, N. J.. Irene Mitchell and Pearl Mitchell, Piainsville, Pa. Blanche A. Thomas, Bordentown; Belle Cowdry, Pas saic, and Elvira Locke, New York city Be fore leaving they prepared statement of their grievances, which they signed and left in the hands of citizen. It concluded:
 "We deem it a lasting disgrace to stay longer under the roof of an immoral protes- sing Christian minister"

TWENTY-THREE VICTIMS.
Probably All Have Now Been Recovered

Probably All Have Now Been Recovered
 from the Park Central Hotel.
 HARTFORD, Feb. 21.-Investigation proves that the explosion of the boiler was not the real cause of the Park Central Hotel disaster. The walls fell first, and the jar caused the boiler to blow up. The greatest indignation prevails, and before the investigation is over those responsible for the condition of affairs will be brought to justice
 The work of removing the debris is still busily carried on by a force of about POO men. It will require at least two days before the ruins are cleared away
 The body of Edward Perry, night clerk at the hotel, was recovered. He was found lying on his faca, and had evidently smothered to death.
 On ths day of the accident two hip bones were fouGd at the spot where Mir. Whiting's body was discovered. At tine time it was thought they were hers, but icalexamina- tion has shown that they were the hip bones of a man, and it is believed they were her husbands, and nothing more will ever be found of him.
 The list of the dead now reaches twenty three. The safe of the hotel has been dug out of the ruins and books that were lying near the register have been found but the register is still missing
 The injured at the hospital are all doing well, although none will probably be dis charged for several days Mr. Walter M Gay, agent of the Higganum Manufacturing company, will probably be the first to leave the hospital, although he complains of pains in his right leg-probably rheumatism caused by his immersion in ice cold water for several hours
 MT. Stifiie, the Philadelphia commercial traveller, has severe pains in one arm at inter- vals. Mir. Enos James, of New York, is in very favorable condition, and will probably be able to leave at the same time with Mr.

Two Lives Lost at a Fire.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21.-An overloaded stove in the dry goods and notion store of lsidore Horn, at 915 South street, caused a fire last night which resulted in the loss of two lives, although the monetary loss is al- most insignificant In the second story of the building in which Horns store was located lived a man named Brodie, with his wife and child, while in the third story lived Max Schwartz, notion peddler, with his wife and three daughters, the youngest being but 6 months old. Brodie and his family got out of the second story, and Schwartz ran to one of the windows and jumped to the ground, escaping without injury worth mentioning, but his wife and her babe were suffocated, and their bodies were afterward cremated by the flames. The other two girls escaped from the building safely
