been summarily removed for cause, the
secretary became acting governor for few
weeks, when he took advantage Of the
situation to forward to the secretary of the
interior an executive report Only q
synopsis Of the document has been re-
turned over the wire, but we gather from
this that the gentleman has devoted
more attention to the Mormons
than to any other matter. He again
requests Acknowledgement, and Why's Well,
the Mormons have been deprived of citi-
zenship IN Idaho. and there is talk of treat
ing them thus discourteously in Utah.
Being denied the ballot and office holding
rights in Utah and Idaho, they may seek
for restoration Of some of the privileges of
Americans in Arizona, and their presence
there might interfere with our neighbor's
statehood aspirations.
Mr.. MURPHY IS both genius and a
statesman. The wonder is that
a man with such mind
as he possesses can consent to hide himself
in Arizona where the GA, O0O,0C of men,
women and children in this republic can

in his modesty is doing himself and his
countrymen great injustice by remaining
in the sparsely settled land of cactus and
sand.
OF course Mr.. MuRPnY's report, includ-
ing his appeal for disfranchisment, includ-
ing the argument upon which it is
based, will be laid before Congress. We
hope it will also be read, for
Congressman have little enough to amuse
them during the debates on extravagant
appropriations for pensions, on robber tariff
bills, and on bills giving to the President the
power to say who in all these United States
shall be sent to Congress. Mr.. MURPHY IS
report will furnish little entertainment,
and at the same time illustrate the size and
character Of the men who are made gov
errors Of the territories.

The Value of Mysteries.

The duty of hiking a cash value on the
blighted affections of a cOnfiding heart
has frequently devOlved upon juries;
bnt it has been left for twelve good men
and true of Chicago to decide the finan-
cial worth of an attack of hystesics. Mrs
Hannah Joseph the victim of the at
tack, and of the jury, appraised her agi-
tation at So, 900; but the heartlcss men
to whom he question was finally re-
ferred declared that such vaultatiOn
was excessive by 24,999.75. Instead of
S25, 600 they found that Mrs. Josephs
should be paid just 35 cents. Thus the
value of Mysteries has been fixed, and
the decision of an intelligent jury, after
earnest consideration of an unpreced-
ented problem, must be except as the
standard
Mrs. Josephs' husband was absent
from home and was to send mis- wife a
telegram to assure her of his safe arrival
at the end of a journey. When the time
at which the winged -heeled mercury of
the Western Union service was expected
passed without his appearance. Mrs.
Joseph was overcome by hysteria, in
which condition she remained for
twenty four hours. She learned that
the telegram had been promptly sent
bnt not promptly delivered, and hence
the suit for S25, 600 against the Western
Union ompany.
The sOuless corporations defense
does not appear in the report, but iG
may have been that experience has
shown the pi ompt delivery OF kilograms
to women to be provocative of hysterIa.
No women, with the slightest suggest
ion of nerves" ever yet received tele-
gram without spending an hour or two
in vain and vague conjectures as to the
sender and its contents. and the com
pany would have to 60 into immediate
bankruptcy if called upon to pay s2o'
600 to every woman who grows hyster-
ical through the delivery or non-delivery
of kilograms.

wl1e, who reside on Monroe street. and

gap OF Cove mountain, four miles north
OF town, by Morgan and his brave Ken

slces bit the dust Among the number
o1 the federal was Mr.. Scott, who was
severely wounded in the leg. He was
ofougnt TO Wytheville and his leg was
amputated above the knee, after which
ne was transferred to the home of Mr.
nioer' where he was cared for by Mrs
"'der In the most assidu0us and tender
manner.
Durlng this time q reamputation of
MS limb became necessary, which was
performed by DR.. Hamilton, the con-
federate post surgeon. He then RAPIDLY
recovered, and after the lapse of several
months was taken to the hospital at
Emory. thence to Richmond where he
was discharged.
Since the war Mr.: Scott has been living
IN Nebraska, where We learn he has been
honored with positions of trust and
honor, and his return to Wytheville in
company with his good wife, to visit
those who so tenderly minstered to him
in time of affection is an act of gratitude
and magnamity worthy of brave SOL

Scott the right hand of fellowship, and
we greet your presence in our midst as
the hailing sign of peace and good will
and may you and yours live long and

Another Minnesota storm.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 19. Another
heavy storm prevailed in this state yes
terday evening. At Red Wing and
Lake City the rain is thought to have
done some damage to crops but that is
all. Marine, little town near Still
water, as we'll as Saltwater itself, was re-
ported wiped out. but the latest reports
from there dlscredit the story. Anoka
suffered some loss from leveled fences,
but the worst of the storm there passed
north of that city, from which section
nothing has yet been heard. Clear
Lake, Wis, according to one report, was
a severe sufferer, but more definite
statements from there state that the
damage was very slight. The worst Of
the tornado was felt in St. Paul's north
ern suburb, North st. Paul, where the
storm played havoc with property, but
no loss of life resulted. There was the
widest Consideration for short time,
but the storm veered off to the east and
moved on. The only damage was to the
plant of the Acme chair company,
which was totally wrecked. The loss
will probably reach $4,000.

yards away, a cloud of smoke was curl

We had little time for thought before
a round-shouldered, clustering little
man upon white horse rode the length
of the train, and with many curse and

military order, from the direction of the
smoke, and after much clustering and

already in the pen.

The flames made such rapid progress
that the whole house was soon ablaze.
The fire brigade answered promptly and

Of the upper part of the burning house
were roasting to death.
1t was only after the flames had been
extlnguished that they came in sight of
the bodies of a family of five persons,
which had perished. The family con-
sisted Of Pierre Miranda, his wife and
three children, who had lately returned
from the states, intending to settle in
their native city, where they had found
employment. 1t is thought more peo-
pie have perished, as the Mirandss

New Yokh, July 1.-THE funeral ser
vices Of the late General John c. Ere
mont, the American pathfinder, occurred
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at st.
Iganatius church, Sc West Fortieth
street. Long before that hour the body
of the edifice was filled with the friends
of the dead general. Men prominent in
both civil and military circles from all
parts of the United States were present.
At about eight o'clock the body was
taken from the house on West Twenty
fifth street and carried to the church,
where it was placed on pedestals direct
ly at the entrance of the central aisle.
The lid of the casket covered with black
cloth, was removed so that
those who wish might viey the features
of the dead. The American flag was
draped on the casket and large bunch of
roses and another of immortelles were
placed on it.
Around the casket we're piled floral
offerings in profusion and variety. At
9 o'clock the church doors were thrown
open and the people began to pass
around the casket.
At $50 General Sherman came in and
stood for some minutes gazing at the

taxidermist. It had not had its coat
