evening at o'clock and his body was
not found till Ghis morning. Coroner
Clouston was sent for this morning and
elected these facts; Mr.. Lockridge was
unmarried, and late in the afternoon
concluded to visit neighbor's house
about mile off, and perhaps remain all
night. On his way, alone, across the
fields terrific thunderstorm overlook
him, and in the middle of a corn field
the electric bolt struck him on the head.
and the black mark showed down the
back, the fluid burning off most of his
clothing and tearing in pieces the um-
brella he carried. The rain, which fell
in torrents, seemed to have quenohed
the fire of his clothing. This morning,
when he should have appeared as usual
to go to work, search was made and his
body found where it fell. No one was
near or saw the dreadful stroke, and his
family supposed he was spending the
night at his neighbor's.

yesterday, and Sheriff Blakemore and
Mayor T. l.. Fryer this morning, for
Murray, Ky, to witness the work on
the new Paducah, Tennessee & Ala
bama Railroad. The road is to run
from Paducah, through Benton and
Murray, Ky, Paris, Tenn, and on to
Florence, Ala. The work of bedding
began at Paducah about four weeks ago
and has been steadily pushed all along
the line to Murray. Hands are now at
work four miles this side of Murray,
about twenty miles from this place.
The condition of the subscription of
Galway county requires the completion
of the road through the county by Octo-
Der l of this year. That is only twelve
miles from Paris and in the country,
and consequently they cannot afford to
stop work until they reach this place.
Besides, this is the only place at which
they will tap another road after leaving
Paducah. The road must also be COM
pleted to Paris by October /, 1891, to
secure the Paris and Henry county sub

Extraordinary DEGREES Issued by the
Barillas Government.

BarlllaS
CITY OF GUATEMALA, August 20
The Bsrrllas Government has just is
sued decree whereby it is ordered that
all Guatcmalans between the ages of is
and 50 shall present themselves within
"A hours after the publication of the
decree, at the different military posts
in their respective departments, or they
will otherwise be declared traitors.
The decree is causing very many
people who come within its limits to
leave the territory OF Guatemala, and
not few are joining the insurgents in
Chiquimula or the San Salvador troops
across the frontier.
BY another decree the Government
has directed the Secretary of the Treas
ury to effect forced loan OF 81, ,O0O,0 900
to meet war expenses. The loan is to
be confined to the cities of Guatemala
and QuezaltenangO, and two committees
of merchants have been named and or
dercd to produce the money within
three days from the subscribers on a
list furnished by the Government.
There are heavy penalties attached to
Noncompliance with the subscription,
and the $1,000, 600 will have to be con-
tributed In the following ratio; Guate-
mala 5000, 900, and Quczaltenango $780,
600.
With the similar object Of obtaining
funds for the army and having a retro
active fund, the government has also IS
Sued the following decree:
Article From August Of the pres
ent year 50 will be paid as export duty
on each 100 pounds of coffee sent out Of
the country, instead Of 81, as heretofore.
Article The tax on real estate will
be S. per 81 900, instead of 50, as form
erly, and this new rate is to take effect
from July /, 1889
Article 3-Each bottleof spirits taken
from the government administration Of
liquors will pay an additional > cents
internal revenue tax from the lst Of
August.
Article 4-Decree No. 1O1, issued by
Congress, granting the free manufacture
of salt. is hereby revoked and duty of
\ of a cent per pound is imposed.
Article 5-The artificial and natural
products of the Republics OF Central
America which may or have been i'm
ported into Guatemala since or from the
lst of August shall be free with the eX-
ception of eomWon salt, soaps, parailne
or stearine candles liquors and tobacco,
which Will be taxed the same as similar
goods from foreign countries.
Article 6-The increased indutics here
in referred to will remain in effect for
the space of one year.
These DEGREES have caused great
CONSERVATION and Indignation among
the merchants here, principally those
who deal in coffee These merchants,
together with the coffee planters, have
raised protest against the measures,
and may 90 so far as to accuse Barillas
and his Cabinet Of handling the national
finances in an improper way Only
Sl25, 900 have been subscribed to the
loan, and the committees referred in
the decree for a loan have refused to act.
1t is greatly feared that forcible meas
ures will be taken by Barilas to collect
the money, and nearly all the capitalists
are utilizing the banks to send their
money out OF the country by means Of
bills of exchange.

terday.


terday.
WASHINGTON, August 2G.-The memo
randum offered yesterday by Mr.. Al
drich fixing the time for consideration
of and voting on the Tariff bill was
presented. the presiding officer stating
that unanimous consent was asked for
having it entered as an order OF the
Senate.
objection was made by Mr.. Morgan
and other Democratic Senators to
having the memorandum take the
shane of an "order of the Senate, and
after an interchange OF opinion on that
point Mr.. Aldrich withdrew that form
and confined his motion to a request
for unanimous consent to the memo
randum.
Mr.. Plumb suggested that there was
something behind the matter that was
not perfectly apparent to the public.
The solemn interchange Of suggestions
Yesterday between the Senator from
Rhode Island and the Senator from
MARYLAND. reminded him somewhat OF
tho historic remark between the Gov
ernor of North Carolina and the Gov
ernor of South Carolina, Laughter J
II recalled also the remark that two
Roman augurs could not look in each
others face without smiling. 1t was
time. Mr.. Plumb thought, that the cur
tain was rung down and the lights put
ont. An agreement had been made by
which Democratic Senators were to
forego their opposition-or, at all
events. their debating opposition-to
the Tariff bill, which had been descriO-
ed as 50 utterly and abhorrently objec-
tionable: and. Of course, he presumed
that that was in order that something
else might be had which was desirable
TO them. He would interpose no oDJec-
tion to the memorandum.
The memorandum was then agreed TO-
