THE PROSPERITY OF THE SoUTH.-The
fact that we desire TO impress upon all the
newspapers of the North is that the South
is prosperous because it is now, and has
been for the past ten or twelve years, under
the control of its own people. So long as
it is permitted to exercise the right of local
self-government it will continue to prosper.
So soon as Congress begins to interfere
with the just and equal administration of
the laws in this section the South will stand
or retrograde.-Chsrleston News md Cou-

multiply until in few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
At last we began the use of Ayers Sar-
saparilla. In few days marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed more healthy condition,
the discharges were gradually dimln-

Meadows Makes a Bluff.

the Australian, is anxious for another go
with Paddy Duffy. In letter Meadows
says Duffy is quitter; that in the Sec
ond and thirty-frst rounds he wanted to
stop fighting. The Australian is conf
dent he can defeat Duffy, for he says if
any Boston club will give reasonable
purse, he will fight Duffy ten or fifteen
or twenty rounds, and if he does not put
the Boston man to sleep in that time he
will be satisfied to lose the purse. Boston
sporting men do not take any stock in
Meadows statement that Duffy wanted
to quit. Letters received in this city
from Californians who witnessed the bat
tie show that Meadowswas the one who
wanted to quit. not Duffy.

Murdered by a rFan,ac som,

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 1s.-West
Farms, farming hamlet, was the scene
of horrible double tragedy this morn
ing. Joseph King, wealthy and we'll
known citizen. 75 years of age, was shot
and killed by Edgar King, his eldest son,
and the house fired. The murderer went
twenty steps from the house, then shot
himself. The murder and suicide are
traceable to an unbalanced mind, caused
by dissipation. A letter to friend shows
the deed was premeditated, with the ad-
dition that he intended to kill two aunts
also. He was prevented from the last,
being unable to get into the room where
they slept. The deed was committed al
2 o'clock in the morning, the murderer
firing three shots into the body of his
father while the latter was sleeping.

Caun1,t the Act,

A man by the name of James DAILY was
arrested about o'clock yesterday morn
ing in the act of breaking into saloon
on the corner of Temple and New High
streets. A colored man serves as janitor
of the Downey block saw him make an
entrance and guarded the window where
he had gone in until an officer came up.
When the burglar discovered that he was
caught in trap he begged the janitor to
let him get away before the officer should
arrest him, but his prayer was of no
avail. A quantity of cigars we're found
in the mans possession when he was
searched at the Police Station. They
were in paper bag. When the clerk
was about to take these to lay them
away as evidence, DAILY crushed them up
in his hand, evidently hoping thereby to
lessen the evidence against him.

PULLING DOWN WIRES.
Two Men Killed BY "a Falling Pole
The Inspectors Fault.


The Inspectors Fauit.
New York, April 1S.-Two men,
Reilly and Early, taking down telegraph
wires this morning, were ierked out OF q
window, being entangled in a rope at
tached to falling pole. Both were in
stantly killed.
After the removal of the bodies of the
dead men, the work of removing the
wires went on as usual. Other gangs
continued the work that was being pros.
ecuted in Broadway yesterday, the COM
pany's gangs keeping ahead OF the May
or's men, and trying to save their wires
as far as possible. Contractor Busby and
Inspector Roth, who were in charge of
the work in Sixth avenue, and
under whose instructions Early
and Reilly were working at
the time the accident occurred, we're ar
rested and taken to Jefferson Market
Police Court. Witnesses of the accident
testified that the pole was heavy enough
to have pulled the whole side of the
house out, and that Roth had been told
so by some of the men. A witness told
the Judge that he would not have under
taken what Early and Reilly were asked
to do for any consideration. Other evil
dence was given to the effect that Roth
was himself holding the guy rope, and
that the letting go of that rope caused
the falling of the pole. Busby was dis
charged and Roth turned over to the
Coroner's office.

A Life Made miserable

By dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living. A
capricious appetite, heartburn, puzzling ner-
vous symptoms, increased action oi the heart
after eating, sinking in the abdomen between
meals, and flatulence after, are among the sue
cessive iRdicid of this harassing complaint.
Two things only are needful for its removal A
resort to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and per-
being adopted, cure is certain. Taken imm e.
diately before or after meals, this great
stomachic promotes secretion of the gastric
juice, the natural solvent of the food. The
nervous and bilious symptoms consequent
upon chronic indigestion disappear as the
complaint gradually yields to the corrective
and invigorating influence OF the Bitters. Ap-
petite returns, sleep becomes more refreshing,
and as a sequence, the body is efficiently
nourished, muscular power increases, and the
mind grows sanguine. Use the Bitters for
chills and fever and rheumatism.
