the party in the State. All the democrats,
without exception, seem to look upon 1t in the
same light. Representative elect Venable,
of the Petersburg district, says the fact that
two anti Malone republicans, Messrs. Treat
and Atkins, were applicants for the place.
and that Farr, strong Malone man, got II,
seems to him sufficient to settle the point
without further question. There are lew

who still cling to the hope that the General

Mr.. Harrison likes both factions of the

some time ago that Mr.. Agnew and General
Malone were now in agreement, but tnst

Brady says the appointment does not mean
that Cen Malone is to have the dlstriDu'
ton OF Virgnia's share Of the federal pat
ronage, and that he knows WHEREOF ne
speaks. Prof Langston says the same
thing, and besides, that the coming ap-

applicant for the place that has been given
to MIR. Borland of Norfolk, hiss gone home.
Before he went he reiterated his account OF
his interview with General Malone, the giat
of which has heretofore been published III

"a forcibly as reported. The Colonel said
that when he told the General that Ii he
would 90 to the departments and urge some
appointments the party in Prince Edward

to do so would have the opposite elect, ana
that to this the Generals reply was that he,

THE INTERSTATE commerce law, origl'
mated by Senator Reagan of Texas, and pass
ed by democratic House of Representa-
tiyes. has Just been interpreted, by the re-
nublican commissioners appointed under
that law, to mean that it can accomplish
what the civil rights law OF black repupii,
can Congress failed to effeot-entorce sociai
eouslity. 80 far. at least, as relates to raii'
roads, by providing that negroes shall be al
forded not only equal, but the same iaeh'i-
cal treatment white people receive on
such roads in other words that they snail
eat st the same tables with white people IN
the buffst cars, and that if one Of the two
herths of a compartment 10 sleeping car
be occupied by young white lady, the oth'
or one may, if he shall so demand, be ooeu-
MED by buck negro. 10 the North whefe
q negro on railroad train is rarity, this
decision will make little or no difference
Int in the South, owing to the large negro
population, it will be vastly different, ana IL
ATTEMPTED to be enforced, will cause
much ANNOYANCE and trouble. There are
many wise mon in the democratic party
but. unfortunately for that party, most o.
them are "born to blush unseen and waste
their sweetness on the desert air."

Destructive Storm.

P1TTsBURG, May 11.-Reports of damage
by last nights terrible storm are coming in
to-day from all parts of Allegheny county,
in fact from nearly every place in eastern
Ohio and western Pennsylvania. The loss,
however, cannot be Appropriated at this
time. Farms were washed out, houses.
fences and trees along the banks OF streams
were swept away and landslides occurred
on nearly every road leading out OF Pitts
burg. So far but two deaths from drowning
have been reported. Two children OF Con
rad Scheafer, aged aud years respective.
ly, of Spring Garden borough, north of ALE
gheny, were swept away by the flood, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Schaefer narrowly escaped
from meeting the same fate. Their house
ia located near the bank of Butchers run,
the scene of the frightfnl disaster of 10 years
ago, when 200 persons we're swept to death
by the angry waters. When the banks
overlooked last night the Schaefer house
was moved from its foundation, and the
family left the house and sought shelter un
der some trees. In running out the house
the children, both girls, we're caught by the
current and carried away. Mrs. Schaefer
became 80 frantic on seeing her children in
the run that she got Tin the water too, and was
almost drowned. A physician was called
to see Mrs. Schaefer, but it is not thought
she will recover. East street and Madison
avenue in the Butchers run district, are
complete wrecks, while the numberless crpts
streets are completely filled with debris.
| Cars lying on the tracks unable to be moved
and completely hemmed in by panking and
rubbish. The bodies of two men, victims OF
lasi nights food, were found this morning,
making four deaths go far reported. The
remains Of John Dougherty, were dis.
covered in a culvert at Woods run.
wedged In between some logs He left
his home shortly after midnight to see how
the water was, and had gone but short
distance along the banks of the swollen
stream when he was struck, and carried
away by bridge which had been swept
from its foundations. The second fatality
occurred in the Butchers run district.
John Cochner went down In the cellar of
his house during the storm and did not
return. When the waters subsidized his body
was found lying in the coal vault. While no
deiiaite figures can be given on the loss at
this time, it is safe to say that it will reach a
half million dollars in this vicinity.
GENEVA, Ills, May IA heavy wind,
accompanied by tremendous rain fall, pass

Mr.. W. L. ROYAL, of Richmond, says he
is very sure he can be elected to the leglsla'
ture from his city on the proposition OF set
Ting the State debt without increasing
taxation. As the white voters OF Richmond
are in the majority, and as they are Virgin
ians, native or foreign born, it would be sur
prising If, in contest between any man In
favor of such settlement of the debt as Mr.
Royal favors, and one who advocates the pre-
sent disgraceful, unequal, unjust andunsettied
condition of that debt. they would not elect
the former. Mr.. Royal also says ne would
be willing to lose such southern congress
sional and Presidential electoral representa-
ton as is derived from the negroes, In order
to secure the peace and quietness that would
result to the South from the abolition oil
negro suffrage. The are many other south

this subject also.

''If Washington were now living in the United

probably be at this day Ineligible to the Presi'

1t would be sad to think that the politi-
cal machinery now in operation in this
country prevents the political preferment of
good men, but it is nevertheless true that
many such men are compelled, by that ma
chinery, in order to be elected, to resort to
means which would have been more object

The French syndicate which was
formed and commenced operations
something over year ago, it would
seem from recent advices, absolutely
controls the worlds supply of copper
and virtually dictates the price that
consumers shall pay for the metal.
The syndicate must either restrict
the produc ion or a collapse is inev-
table. "The question is" says
New York dispatch, scan the corner
be broken? Probably not. The
syndicate holds the club over pro-
ducing companies; the companies
themselves put the weapon in its
hand. In the first place, contracts
with companies were made at figures
far above the market prices, and the
companies were glad to go into the
deal. They have been turning out all
the copper they could to increase
their profits. The normal visible
supply has never been over fifty thou
sand tons. In six months the visible
supply has nearly doubled, and the
output of copper is increasing all the
time. The production must be de,
creased. 1t is reported, with every
show of correctness, that the syndi-
cate has been trying to make an ar
rangement with the Anaconda COM
pany to close its mines tor a time.
1t is said that the syndicate offered
the Anaconda 100000 to shut
down for six months. James B.
Hsggin, on behalf of himself and
other owners, asked s5,000,000.

A cats Dreatll.

A correspondent Of the Boston
Transcript objects to the notion that
q "cat sucks away a child's breath"
Ho says the Seats sucking away a
child's breath" is merely the express
sion, erroneous in its form, of physi-
illogical fact. All the feline possess
poisonous breaths, intended by ma
ture to act as an anasthetic upon
their prey. II any adult will inhale
but once the breath, even Of cat, he
will at once recognize this fact.
Watch a cat playing with mouse.
The mouse does not suffer but Is
stupefed as if by ether. Living
stone, the African explorer, states in
Life" that, when he was seized by a
lion and his arm broken, the crunch
ing of his broken arm gave him no
pain, so benumbed were all his senses
by the animals breath. Now cats
like rest, warmth, companionship and
soft couch. A cat seeks the child,
its soft bed and the warmth of its
body, and lies down on the chest OF
the infant. Its weight impedes res
piration, ITS breath an@sthetizes the
child, and that the death Of small in
fants has actually occurred from this
cause medical reports have conclu.
s.vely proved.
