SUFFERING IN DAKOTA.
Hundreds of Families Destitute of
The Necess n ,.ieS of Life


A report from Huron, South Dakota,
says there are hundreds of persons sitting
in the farmhouses on the snow-covered
plains going mad from want. A visit
among many farmers revealed the fact that
starvation is staring hundreds of poor in
the face. One farmer, who expressed the
belief that he was much better off than
many others, said:
1--WE have something to eat-hominy and
a little pork. 1t won't last long. and we
have to be careful of the coal; but the worst
is the stock. We have nothing to feed the
h, rises and cattle with. We can neither
sell them nor feed them u
Another said: at e only help we have
had is from the railroad, the Northwestern.
They have brought coal to us for 50 ton
free of freight, and have done it all winter u
j. S. Oliver, superintendent of the Dakota
Central Division of the Chicago and North
western Railroad at Huron, said: People
are undoubtedly suffering for necessaries,
but this road will see that no one freezes. II
is to the interest of the company that the
people stay here. They are brave and their
present condition is no fault of their own"

A Benehcent Gift.

Mrs. Sarah Knox Goodrich, together
with her son, who are the owners of the
well-known Goodrich stone quarry near
San Jose, and which contains the best
building material in California, have do
mated to the Leland Stanford, Jr., University
all the stone required for the construction
of the university building and all other
buildings connected with the university
which will be erected on the grounds of that
institution An idea may be formed of the
value of this benetieent gift from the fact
that il will take eight years to complete the
buildings and Mrs. Goodrich and her son
have given Senator Stanford lease of the
stone quarry fo- ten years, with the privi-
lege of using all the material that may be
required for the completion of the grand
work without stint

Death of Secretary BIaine's Daugh,e err

The Blaine family has sustained another
affiiction in the death of Mrs. Alice s.
Blaine-Coppinger,t the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs Blaine Mrs. Coppinger was born
at the old Stanwood home on Green street,
Augusta, Me-, IN April, 1861. Her young
life was passed with her parents in Washing
ton and Augusta and she was married to
Col. John l. Coppnger at her fathers home
in the former city in the winter of 1888.
After her wedding tour Col. and Mrs. COP
pincer lived in Indian Territory, where Col.
Coppinger's duties detained him until he
was ordered to Governors Island in New
York Harbor and there they have since re-
sided. Mrs. Coppinger leaves two boys.
During all the sad time connected with her
brothers death and burial Mrs. Coppinger
was perfectly calm and apparently in good
health, although she had been suffering
more or less from malaria during the win
ter. Mrs. Coppinger was lady of strong
and marked individuality, and was one
whom it was in every way Pleasure to
know. Her father had in marked degree
the warm affection for his daughter which
il is natural 10 feel for the frst-born girl of
the family, and her loss to him will be in a
way as severe a blow as was the recent death
of his eldest son.

place, so he telegraphed to the fagman to
be standing beside the track when the train
went past, with his tongue out, and he
would examine him on the fly. The flag

DETECTIVES BLUADER.

Last Wednesday week Deputy
Sheriff G. d. Moore, Of this place, was
sent to Chicago 10 effect tie arrest aud
bring back one Frank Scully, Il fugi-
tive from justice here, Tor an attempt
to murder James Chambers. When
Mr.. Moore reached Mobile he was
shadowcd by II New York detective
by The name Of KInnie, who was on
the hunt for a mar by the name Of
Schaeffer. The SAID w0Hid-be dciec-
tive spotted our good looking deputy
as the man he was after, and tclc-
graphed the Meridian authorities to
have four of their most trusted and
determined policemen on hand on the
arrival Of the train, 10 effect his cap
turc. This summons they were prompt
to obey. While Mr.. Moore was pass
ing the time away at the depot he was
suddenly seized frOm behind by the
policemen. When lie asked tie
meaning Of this procedure, he was in
formed that lie was a deperado, aud
was wanted in Florida. lie told them
If chat was the case their action was
all right, but lie could convince them
Of their error in a moment, and start
cd TO his pocket to get his papers to
show wh0he was and what was his
mission. The policemen, however,
bcing advised of his desperate char
actcr, Notwithstanding his amiablc
looks, could see nothing but a battery
of concealed weapons about to be
brought forth, commanded, "Keep
your hands III your pockets" Even
tualIy being brought 10 prison, and
giving up his arms-which consisted
of something less than a dozen six
shooters. he produced his credentials,
which were Immediately recognized
and he was discharged from custody.
The detective was completely whip
ped, aud asked if there was a place
near by where they could smile,
which they dud. 1t was now Moore's
time to talk. lie advised the dctec-
tive that if he made such blunders as
this that saving wood would better
suit his talent. lie asked Kinnic
where he was going from there. He
said IIatlicsburE. Mr.. Moore protfer-
ed Him a letter To Mr.. MCGEE, the
blacksmith there, who was in need of
Il striker aud he thought he would
Just fill The bill.

STREET RAILROADS.

AS towns expandfacilities for reach
ing the different points must Of mcces-
silly be provided. Not only must they
provide c0nvcyances, but those con-
yevances must be quick aud reliable,
50 that amy Que who lives at any dis
lance from the centre of the town or
his place of business will always know
when TO start aud at what time he
will reach his destination. Nut only
must the Imeans Of transportation he
quick aud reliable, but il must be
cheap, so that wOrkmen can come and
go TO their work aud shoppers or
persons going 10 market can take adj
vantage at it 10 60 to and fro. Moth
Ing has as yet met the demands Of the
public like street railroads. IL there
ever was Il community that needed a
street railroad il Is the community
living on the road leading from Pas
cagOula aud Scranton 10 Moss Point.
This would make u line ia the neigh
borhood of SIX miles long through al.
most-a continuous village, aud would
be Il paying Investment from the
start. Anyone at all acquainted with
the history of street railroads know
that all such. franchises increase in
value each and every year; that the
price Of suburban, lots Increase in
value more than a hundred fold all
along the line of the road. There ia
hardly a place iu the country where a
road of its length could be built
cheaper than here. The way is gcn-
orally level and there would he but
lille grading to be done, aud the clti-
zens along the line If they will only
study out the advantages TO be de-
rived from it, Will find that they can
easily build ii aud make good money
in the bargain. II would pay them
even if II look the price of each alter
nate lot on the line, by the benefit
they would derive from the enhanced
value of the Others. "
Something of this kind has been
talked of here before, hut The scheme
then laid out was on two heavy a
acalc and entirely too costly. What
we want is a street railroad for passen-
ger traffic. We would like for our
readers TO give this suggestion a
thought. If they have anything bet
ter let's hear from them.
