VIVID WHITING.

A little descriptive piece entitled Over
the Guns" from the Detroit Free Press. OF
which we give a paragraph, reminds us
that great advertisers, like II. H. Warner
& CO., proprietors of Warmers celebrated
Safe Cure, might get hint from il.
Here is the paragraph:
'Shoot to the right or left, over the guns
or under them. Strike where you will, but
strike to destroy, Now the hell surges
down: even TO the windows of the Old farm

noise IS, are men falling at our right and

ELclusloN OF AMERICAN PORK.

LONDON March 29-It is now pretty GER
tain that measure which has been delayed
by the copper furry will be urged in the
French chamber as soon as it is thought
advisable. The rural deputies, egged on
by their constituents, have succeeded
in partially excluding American pork,
lard and other hog products, thus rails
ing their price for the benefit of
the French hog raiser. The enemies OF
the American pig, in justification
of their course, circulate every now and
then through the press dire stories as to
the diseases produced among innocent
consumers-stories probably hbeious, as
the smuggled Yankee porker brings the
highest market price although sold alto
gether as a French product. The same
state of things exists in Germany, while IN
England American hams, such commodl-
ties as cheese fruit, -four and other arti-
cles are vended as products of Great Brit
ian. In fact, John Bull looks with alarm
upon the increasing invasion, and inquiries
where it will end. Even as regards one OF
the firmest props OF his industries. he is
alarmed by the reports of statlsticlanS..
His coal is becoming exhausted, and, of
course, growing higher in price, and the
proposed coal trust will carry it still high
er by contracting the production. The
miners are alarmed and will fight the mine
owners. Some pessimistic financiers fore
tell speedy panic in London which Will
rival the Panama and copper crashes in
France The nitrate schemes are especially
looked upon with suspicion, and many
holders are withdrawing at loss.
The project to form combination OF
tinplate manufacturers to control the
price and amount of production received
check when on the point of contamination
by the receipt of private reports concern
ing the tin mines discovered in Dakota.
While many of those interested IN the pro-
posed combination look at the stories of
their richness as exaggerated, or alto
gether untrue, prudence demands a fur
ther investigation. One Jewish capitalist
is known to have invested heavily in the
Dakota fields on the strength of reports
sent to him by a relative in America, and
| the amount of money he has at stake is
enormous. The mines of Cornwall are
worked with ever increasing difficulty and
expense. The Banca deposits are the only
others of known value, and the product of
this distant. Malayan district is uncer
tain. The South Wales and Worcester
shire tin plate makers look with alarm at
the possibility of having to contend with
factories established in the heart of the
country which is by far their best custo-
mer. 1t may be looked upon as certain that
if the situation proves to be rs critical for
them as it now seems, they will make a
desperate effort to gain control Of the Da-
kota mines at any cost.

RICHMOND, Va, March % -Recently the
assurance was conveyed to the widow Of
Stonewall jackson, at the. request OF one
who represented that he spoke for the

amaker, that they desired her to accept
an appointment as postmistress at Lexing-
ton, Va. Mrs jackson has not been resi-
dent of Lexington for many years and is
now living in Randolph county, \. C..
Her reply TO the friend who
wrote har was that while she
appreciated the kindness which promoted
the move she would be unable TO give an
affirmative answer but must positively de-
cline She stated that her father is now
81 years of age and needs her presence:
that though she dearly loved Lexington
and all its people, the place did not suit
her health and she was confident she did
not possess the requisite qualifications for

KILLED By MooNsHINERs.
A Deputy United States Marshal Shot
Near Hindman, Ky.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March "a telegram
was received by Marshal Gross this after
noon from United States Commissioner r.
S. Friend at Prestonbnrg, KY, announc-
ing the murder of Deputy United States
Marshal Russell Wireman. The murder
occurred at the cross forks OF the Ken
lucky river in Knott county, thirteen
miles southwest of Hindman, Ky. Wire
man lad made a raid in Perry and Lester
counties and captured ten prisoners.
These he brought to Prestonburg on
March 25 and lodged them in Jail there, in
tending to take them to Hindman on the
morning of March 26. Wireman decided
TO let the prisoners remain in jail at Pres
tonburg and go on another raid. He
summoned Hollvfield, Creech, Fields and
Salty to assist him and they started for
the cross forks.
They had a number Of warrants and sue
ceeded in arresting J. Draughn, j. Adams
and Jesse Crum With these prisoners
wild and mountainous, filled with ravines
and cliffs They had only gotten a short
distance when they were confronted by
twelve men armed with Winchester rifles.
The party had been hiding behind rocks
and when the deputy marshal and his as
SlStantS appeared with the prisoners tney
stepped out from their waiting places.
Without moments warning they opened
fire on Wireman, their bullets being APP
parently directed at him alone. The officer
returned the fire with his rifle, as also did
the special bailiffs, and several rouLds
were exchanged. One Of the bullets
struck Wireman in the breast and pene-
trated his heart, killing him instantly. He
was wounded in several other places.
Two of the attacking party were killed
and it is thought several Of them badly
wounded since rocks along the road which
they followed were stained with blood.
When the firing commenced the four
bailiffs had sheltered themselves behind
rocks and when Wireman fell the moon
sinners retreated. The dead marshaPs
body was carried to the nearest friendly
house where it was left until the special
officers could go to Prestonburg for. as
sistance During the firing the three
prisoners made their escape.
The four officers managed to reach Pres
tonsburg yesterday although one of them
was badly wounded. A detachment of
men was at once sent out to get Wire
mans body, but they have not yet return
ed.
The men who committed the murder are
supposed to be the same ones who fired
upon Deputy Marshall Greer and were in
dicted during the February term of the
federal court here

ELECTED FROM AIRAIN.

ELIZABETH, n. j.. March 29-Charles
Rupert, a wholesale dealer in country pro-
ducesat Newark, n. Y, was elected from
train ON the Pennsylvania railroad in
this city today, and strongly resisted the
officers, who had to carry him out of his
seat, while the conductor tugged out his
satchel and other articles. Mr.. Rupert
was very wrathy, and roundly denounced
the conductor and company, saying ne
intended to bring In a suit for damages.
1t appears that last July he pur-
chased a ticket from Jersey City to New
Brunswick, which he did not use any
further than Newark, where he got off. He
got the conductor to return him the ticket,
and today, being again at Newark, tried to
ride on the old ticket to East Milestone,
near New Brunswick. The conductor re-
fused to accept, and on demanding the
fare Rupert refused to pay, and conse-
quently was put off at Elizabeth, the first
stopping place. The episode created much
excitement at the station and on the train.
Rupert said that he had paid many hun
dred dollars to the Pennsylvania road for
freights aid that he had been most I'M
justly treated. He claimed the railroad
officials Informed him the ticket was good
whenever presented.

A MAGNIFICENT TRIBUTE.
Mr. Gladstone's Words Of Eloquence on the
Late John Bright.

LONDON, March 29.-In closing magnif-
icent eulogy on the late John Bright, Mr..
Gladstone said, in the house of commons
tonight: 1T was happy lot to unite SO
many attractive qualities. If / had TO
dwell upon them alone should present a
dazzling picture to the world. 1t was a
happier lot to teach moral lessons by SIM
plicity, consistency. unfailing courage and
constancy of life, thus presenting COM
bination of qualities that carried us to a
higher atmosphere. [''Hear, hear.
His sympathies were not strong
awaiting calls to lie made upon
them, but sympathies of man seeking
objects upon which to bestow the lnestlm-
able advantages of eloquence and courage.
In Ireland when support OF the Irish cause
was rare, in India when support OF the
native cause was rarer still, In America at
the time when Mr.. Bright, foreseeing the
ultimate issue of the great struggle of '0l,
stood as the representative of an exceed
ingly small portion of the educated COM
munity of the country, although undoubt-
edly representing a large part OF the ma
tional sentiment Hear! hearr'l in all
these cases Mr.. Bright went far outside
the necessities of his calling

asked his sincere, earnest and enthu-
siastic aid I"Hear. hear. |" All causes
having his powerful advocacy made dis
tiuct advance in the estimation of the
world and distinct progress toward tri-
umuhant success. Thus it has come about
that he is entitled to a higher eulogy than
is due to success. OF mere success he was
n conspicuous example. In intellect he
might claim most distinguished place
But his character lies deeper than intel
lect. deeper than eloquence, deeper
than anything that can be described
or that can be seen upon the
surface The supreme eulogy that is his
due Is that he elevated public life to a
loftier stanard it had ever reached. He has
bequeathe 10 his country a character that
cannot only be made subject for admira-
tion AMI gratitude-and | do not eXagger-
ate when / say it-but that can become an
object of reverential contemplation. The
enconiums that como from every quarter
on that there is not q note of diSsonance.
| do not know of any statesman OF my
time who had the happiness of his life or
removal from this passing world at once
so enthusiastic, so universal and 50 un-
broken.
yet none could better dispense with the
tributes Of the moment, because the tri-
umphs Of his life were triumphs recorded
in the advance of his country and of its
people His name is a name indelibly
written in the annals of time and i'll the
hearts of the great and everspreading race
