Hill has decided the Mississippi re-
QUESTION case. .He revokes his warrant
for Johnson, Hardingand Wakely, but
decides that the other five MuIdoon,
Donovan, Murphy, Cleary and Butler,
must be taxed to Mississippi in pursu-
ance of Governor Lowry's requisition.
Counsel for Johnson, Harding and
Wakely filed affidavits with Governor

aided or abetted the fight, but were
simply witnesses thereof, one of them
being merely newspaper correspon-

warrant for their arrest-only tempo

the aftidavits to Governor Lowry,
submitting the matter for the latter's
consideration whether, in the light OF
the affidavits, he still desires to insist
on the extradition of these parties. II
Governor Lowry, after consultation
with the prosecuting attorney, thinks
that Johnson, Harding and Wakely
can be convicted, Notwithstanding the
facts stated in their affidavits, then
Governor Hill will order their surren.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
The Checkered .Carccr.of Rev. j. S. Mey-
marble.

AUGUSTA, Ga, January l5.-EX-Rev
Jas. :. MeyHardie was found dead in
his bed here this morning. The cause
of his death was heart failure, the re-
suit of intemperancc. Mr.. Meynardie
was a remarkable man. At one time he
was power here, and his word Was
law with thousands Of people. He was
a Baptist minister of note, and was
master workman Of the knights of La
bor here when the order was in flour.
ishing condition. Since that time his
career has been checkered.
Mr.. Meynardie was spieHdid pulpit
orator and was thoroughly versed in
Knights of Labor matters. While he
was ut the head of the order here the
big strike-lockout Of the employees of
the Augusta factories was inaugurated.
The operatives had implicit confidence
in him, and he engineered the strike
until tte national officers of the
Knights took it in hand and settled
it.
After this the people seemed to have
lost confidence in Meynardie both as a
labor leader and a preacher. He was
accused of having received money from
politicians for his influence in elections
and with partaking too freely of intoxi-
eating beverages. He resented these
imputations and withdrew from the
people among whom he had laboled so
long. Leaving the city, he began busi-
ness on a farm near Augusta.
AS a farmer he was remarkably sue
cessful, and made money rapidly. But
he seemed to be man that could not
stand prosperity. The Baptist ministers
of Augusta ostracised him and fellow
ship was withdrawn from him.

and solicitor of claims in the State de
partment, died at $40 tonight of pneu.
monia after an illness of two or three
days.
His disease at first took the form OF
bronchial catarrh, Of which he was
supposed to be recovering. It turned
into pneumonia yesterday.
There were with him at the time OF
his death only his two unmarried sig
ters, Harriet and Margaret, though all
of the family, except Mrs. Coppinger
and James G. Blaine, Jr., were in the
house at the time, those absent from
the city having been summoned here
by telegraph to-day.
&. Lloyd Magruder, the family ply
sician, furnished tonight the following
statement Of Mr.. Blaine's sickness:
"Walker Blaine was attacked by Ia
grippe Friday evening last. The NAL
ady was ushered in by a chill followed
by high fever. Severe catarrhal symp-
toms Immediately attacked both lungs.
These continued throughout Saturday
and Sunday, but in an ameliorated
condition. On Monday an improve
ment in left lung was noticed, though
pneumonia congestion was present in
the right lung. On Tuesday all of the
symptoms became aggravated. Well
developed pneumonia supervened in
the right. lung, accompanied by high
fever and delirium, which continued
until his death, which occurred almost
without premonition at $40 and was
due to pulmonary efTusion."
Walker Blaine, while comparatively
strong, had not entirely recovered from
the accident in the spring by which
his leg was broken, and from an at
tack Of malarial fever from which he
suffered during the autumn.
Mr.. Blaine is the second son of Jas.
G. Blaine, secretary of state, and is
about IS years Of age. He entered the
public service in 1881, when his father,
then secretary Of state under President
Garfield, appointed him third assistant
secretary Of state. In the winter of
1882, he was sent as special COM
missioner Of the United States to Chill
and Peru. He was recalled by Secre-
tary Frelinghuysen, the news of his
! recall reaching him, not through the
state department, but through the me-
dunn of the foreign office in Peru.
Upon his return President Arthur ap-
pointed him one of the government
counsel before the Court of Commits
sioners of Alabama claims. In that
capacity he served until the life of the
court expired in the early spring OF
1854. From that time until he re,
ceived the appointment he is now fill.

The Prize Acre of Corn

New YORK, January lG.-The most
phenomenal yield Of corn ever pro-
duced in America has been awarded
the prize of $500, offered by the Ameri-
can Agriculturist for the largest crop
ofshelled corn grown on one acre in
1889. The crop was within a fraction
of 255 bushels, green weight, which
shrunk to 239 bushels when kiln dried,
and when chemically dried contained
217 bushels. The South Carolina State
board of agriculture doubled the prize,
making the award 81 600 in all.
This crop was grown by Il. J. Drake,
of Marlboro County, S. C. 1t is nearly
twice as large as the greatest authenti-
Gated crop ever before reported.
The $500 awarded for the largest
yield Of wheat last year goes to Henry
F. Burton, of Salt Lake, Utah, for Il
yield of eighty bushels on one acre.

4 Lesson for the New York Tribune
Wilmington AIessenger.1

The substitute editor of the muzzled
New York. Tribune would do we'll to
ponder upon the words written by the
great founder of the paper, which lives
upon the memory of his name, when a
movement was made n,the Union
League Club to expel him for going on
Jefferson Davis's bail bond. These
were Mr.. Greeley's words to the men,
bers who favored the movement:
II shall not attend your meeting
this evening. do not reconize
you as capable Of Judging or even fully
experimenting me. You evidently re-
gard lne as weak sentimentalist mis-
led by naudin philosophy. ar
r&ign you as narrowminded .block-
heads, who would like to be useful to
great andGgood cause, but don't know
| how. & Your attempt to found a great,
enduring party on the heat.and wrath
necessarily engendered by a bloody
civil wal is as though you should plant
a colony on an iceberg::which had
somehow drifted into tropical ocean.
tell you here that out of life earn
estly devoted to the good of human
kind, your children will recollect my
going to Richmond and signing the
Tail bond as the wisest act, and will
feel that I did more for freedom and
humanity than all of you were compe-
tent to do, though youlhad lived to the
age of Methuselah. I ask nothing of
you, then but that you proceed to
your end by brave, frank, manly
way. Don't slide off into mild reyo-
luton of censure, but move the expul-
sion which you proposed and which I
deserve-any reproach whatever. =
propose to fight it'out: on the line
that have held from the day of Lees
surrender.MSo long as any man was
seeking to overthrow our Government
he was my enemy; from the hour in
which he lay down his arms he was
my formerly erring countryman."
With: Horace Greely the war was
ended when Lee surrendered at Appo-
lnattox. From that hour until his
death he had only words of kindness,
Of peace, of sympathy, of comfort for
the people of the South.
Little did he think that after his
death the war would be fought over
again in the columns of the Tribune.

THE name of Weston for the county
which it is proposed to cut out of the
southern halt of Crook county has met
with much unfavorable criticism because
it has neither local favor nor historical
significance so far as Wyoming Is con
cerued. A name which would fit the
new county like a glove and have the
merit of being distinctive as well as Gu
phoueousI4 Inyau Kara, This is the In
dian name for a mountain within the
boundaries of the proposed county. 1t is
one of the prettiest mountain peaks in
Wyoming. Literally its name signifies
"a mountain within a mountain" 1t is
apparently the remains of a long extinct
volcano. Towering up from what might
ONE have been a crater and forming the
apex of the mountain is a huge cone
which SETS in the middle of what was
once the nav of the fiery mountain.
We know ofno more appropriate name
than Invan Kara county.

The pay of a private soldier of a line
infantry regiment - which is the
smallest mans rate of pay in the
army-is one shilling per diem. In
addition to his pay he receives a daily
ration of three-quarters of a pound of
meat and one pound of white bread.
During peace everything else he re-
quires as food he has to purchase from
his daily pay. When on active ser
vice he is well fed free of all charge.
There has been a great deal of non
sense talked and written Of late about
the insufficiency of the soldiers food.
The fact is he gets plenty to eat, but
he has to pay for much of it out of his
own pocket. Examine any corps on
parade, and the plump, ruddy appear
ance of the men will prove how well
he is fed. II addition to the daily ra-
tions which l have already described,
every company mess purchases tea,
sugar, milk, vegetables, etc, at a daily
cost of about SD. to each man. Most
men also buy in their canteens beer,
hot sausages, butter, jam and other
~luxuries. In his recreation room the
soldier can be served at all hours with
good tea, coffee, bread and butter, etc.
The question for the government to
consider is how much of the soldiers
daily food is to be paid for by the state.

READ AND REFLECT
ONE MOMENT.

DIR. Wagner & Co., the most uniformly sue
cessful medical specialists OF the age, feel It
their honest duty to caution the public gen.
orally and those who may be suffering nom
loss of manhood or any form of nervous dis
principled pretenders in various parts OF the
country who are passing themselves of upon
the people as experienced specialists to sex
ual disorders, whereas they are generally
frauds who possess nothing but a legal di-
ploma TO keep, them out of prison for their
fearful medical malpractices.
We have had hundreds of patients who
after being most shamefully robbed by these
medical pirates and their disorders greatly ag-
gravated and their lives endangered, nave
come TO us in despair and to be cured only
with great difficulty.
Remember that Il requires something more
than a plausible advertisement and a bogus
testimonial TO really cure this class of dis
eases and only a physician specially fitted
and adapted to its pathology and research py
long EXPERIENCE, scientific skill is capable OF
treating them successfully.
Many receive a mere temporary relief at
the hands of these medical shams to find out
than ever; that instead OF being cured they
have been spending valuable TINE AND
MONEY in vain. After seeing that hey have
been swtndled they oflen come to us in the
most hopeless condition imaginable.
Come at once, don't delay. Avoid these
and your MONEY. Make your case known TO
us and you shall have the full benefit of our
scientific advice, based upon a long medical
experience in sexual physiology. CoSsnI.
TArIoN free of charge. Remember this fact.
DR.. Wagner q Co., always tell their pa
tients honestly what their case will cost.
There are no extra charges and disappoint-
ments If their advice is followed, They give
their advice and sympathies to all who suffer
most freely and their long experience and
valuable medical discoveries enable them to
cure many cases, where all others
have utterly failed. Remember these facts.
Their charges are always very low for the ser
vices rendered and the benefits conferred.
Think over this, read and reflect, then give
us a call, IL will cost you nothing, and re-
member you are at perfect liberty to decline
our professional services, If you feel disposed.
We deal honestly with all.
The best evidence in support of this fact is
this notice: Our patients appeal to our Judg-
ment as a duty we owe suffering humanity to
keep ii before the public, for the benefit of
men suffering from diseases we make a spec
ialty.
