WHEN aristocracy falls out there's a
chance for the hori-miliiouaires. Here is
Mrs. William Astor and Mrs. Bradley Mar
tin disputing for fashionable supremacy in
New York, and the Bradley Martin woman
says She will head of the four hundred or
perish in the attempt. And She will. Give
woman plenty of money and she will
head off anything. The Martingale de-
clares her ancestral timber Is perfectly
irrepruachable and to this the lovely Astor
does not even nod a reply. Notice is there

give a ball to cost $50, 600. The floral

agree to do it. Two of our party, Mr..
Devore and Mrs Luther koon, say
they saw one of them buy some chew

the gum. One Of the colored men that
Mr.. Witt was taken with him to AZ

Carpenter, that he worked with one OF
them awhile last year. He had not
told US these facts until next day, not
knowing that we lad arrested them.
After he told us that he knew the boys,
we sent four or five dispatches back to
Brinkley for the officers to hold them,
but did not get any word from them.
We then got telegram from Sheriff
OeZts, wanting to know where the
prisoners were. We could not tell
him. We then wrote again to the
mayor; he wrote to US saying that tine
prisoners proved themselves clear, and
we turned them out next morning, and
they took the train for Texas" 1t was
ten days or two weeks after we left
Brinkley before we got this letter from
the mayor. I am sorry they beat us
out of our prisoners. The above ac-
count is as correct as can we'll make it.

INDIANA FARMERS UNITING.
Result of Six Months of the Organization.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
INDIANAPOLIS, February l6.-In the
northern part of Indiana, where the
Farmers Alliance has been stronger
than in any other portion of the State,
the movement is steadily growing, and
assumes strength sufficient to COM
mand attention and respect. The
State Assembly was held at Princeton.
Davies, Knox, Pike, Greene, Sullivan,
Posey, Gibson, Orange, Lawrence, ..Du-
bois, Warwick, Vanderburg, Harrison,
Fountain, Jackson, Washington, ,Craw-
ford, Monroe and Spencer counties,
along or near the Ohio River, sent del
egates. The Grange is called the Far
mers' Mutual Benefit Association, and
at the Convention III subordinate
lodges were represented, showing
total membership of 2l,1 ,112.
A board of trade was organized, with
1000 capital subscribed, and it was
ordered that this be the accepted me-
dunn between wholesalers and retail
ers, so that drulnmers and other eX-
pensive Intermediates might be dis
penscd with. Agricultural implements
are to be looked after especially.
The greatest interest was manifested
in the proceedings, and the members
showed that they appreciate the serious
nature Of their organization. The AL
lance will hold another convention in
October, and by that time it is said by
the officers that the organization will
have enrolled $4,000 oathbound MEM
bers from the farming community of
Southern Indiana. The politicians
here are discussing the gravity of the
organization, for the advisability of
placing farmers ticket' in the field
at local elections was discussed in the
Convention, and from the influence
that could be exerted upon township
and county elections to the more grave
matter of State elections is more than a
possibility.
The organization thus strongly
formed is the growth Of only six
months, but the effect of its workings
has already been felt by dealers i'll mer-
chandise in the towns or sections
where the Alliance is strong. The
steady boycotting of storekeepers and
other middlelnen which is now being
carried on in some localities must soon
have an effect upon the wholesale dis
tributing points for Southern Indiana,
which are Cincinnati, Louisville and
IndianaDOliS.

LOTTERY PROFITS.
some facts for the Perusal of Those DsS>
iuded Mortals Who Patronize the
Louisiana Lottery.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

The attempt to secure charter for
the Louisiana Lottery Company from
the Northern Dakota Legislature has
served to bring that gigantic combina-
ton for gambling prominently before
the public. Itsexistence haslong been
disgrace to the State and to the ma
ton, but so quietly does it do it's work
that few are aware of the magnitude of
its operations. It has learned that too
much publicity is not good for it, and
that systematic, quiet effort will bring
to 1t more dupes than conspicuous ad-
vertising. But, like the cuttlefish, its
tentacles stretch out il every direction
and draw to it victims, from whom it
sucks Its financial life-blood.
The Louisiana Lottery has now been
in existence about twenty-five years,
and If the reports of it's income are
trustworthy, it has received during
that time several hundred millions of
dollars. An estimate recently made of
its annual income gave the following
as the receipts for a recent year through
different classes of letters:
Glass. Daily. Monthly. Yearly.
Registered $4,000 $780, S10,950,000
Post'l ord'r $4,000 100000 lO,950,Oo0

WARNED TO STAY AWAY.
Southern Farmers Indignant at the Men
Who Induced Negroes to EiniGrate.
from the New York Herald. !

from the New York Herald
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Feb lS.-Two
hundred negro emigrants en- route from
North Carolina to Louisiana passed
through here to-day and five hundred
more folio we'd tonight. This ends the
negro exodus for this season, but next
winter the passenger agents of the rail-
roads will take up the work again.
r. L. Williams who was in charge
of the party to-day, says no sum OF
money would induce passenger agent
to return to North Carolina after ne
groes until the anger of the white
farmers has had time to cool. Many
of the negroes have jumped contracts
and left the planters there short ofhelp.
The passenger agents have been
blamed Ior this, and they have all re-
ceived warnings not to return to the
State under penalty ofsevere treatment
or death. Several of them have been
arrested and We're kept in Jail several
days, and another escaped q fogging
by walking out Of Littletown, in Dup
lin County, n. c., without waiting fer
his baggage.
Just before agent Williams left the
State he received the following note:
Sir-You must leave the State at
once and return no more to interfere
with our labor. You have received
full warning, and if you return you
may expect trouble. COMMITTEE.
Williams says that all agents have
received similar warning.

The Leaven of Mr. Grady's Life.

Current Literature, monthly perio-
dical which Mr.. Grady declared to be
a model in its way, says of him:
1.-The memory of Henry w. Grady
improves with time. Buried now a
month or more, the first dazed shudder
is succeeded by the more mournful
contemplation, the deeper Relation,
of his death. Pages of eulogy; black
bordered portraits a thousand-sourced
recital of the incidents of brilliant and
swiftly developed life have told the
story of how he was beloved of family
and friends, respected and admired Of
men. The silver-tongued orator; the
popular and stirring man Of business;
the representative of the new South;
the magnetic, progressive American-
all these he was, and no one does, or
ever shall, gainsay it. But the secret
of his popularity, the essence OF his
magnetism, the quality of the human
affection accorded him, was not III the
great, but the little things, be did.
Here is the real measure of his great
ness-he was a thoroughly unselfish
man. In the breadth and strength of
his own ambitious purpose, he could
always recognize, and appreciate, the
endeavor Of others. Born of that spirit
which declares jealousy to be the test
of real inferiority and cowardice, his
hat was always off to merit, his speech
framed to honest, manly encourage
ment-from principle-he had ever
outstretched the helping hand. Such
personality leavens the whole sordid
human lump. 1t is an abiding comfort
to know that for even thirty-eight
years such u man as Henry w. Grady
lived

SHOT DEAD AT ELLOREE.
The Fate of Worthless Fellow, who In
suited Olher Peoples Wives.
Especial to News and Courier I

Special to News and Courier
ORANGEBURG, February 2O.-George
Collier, young man who keeps bar
at Elloree, came up here this morning
and surrendered himself to the sheriff,
saying that be had shot and killed a
white man yesterday afternoon in ELL
oree, named VIII Lindsay. From Col
lier's version of the affair the killing is
said by every one to he perfectly justi-
fable.
Itappears that Lindsay, who was a
man of very little character, went to a
neighbor's residence aud grossly in
suited the lady of the house. The lady
picked up big stick and ran him out
of the house. The scoundrel then went
over to Golfers house, and as there
was no one home but Mrs. Collier he
offered the same insult to that lady and
forced her into room in the house.
Mrs. Collier screamed for help and
some one ran off for her husband. AS
Mr.. Collier came up Lindsay was
about to run off, when he was shot by
the former and instantly killed.
Collier is we'll known in this city,
and his family is good one. He is said
to be somewhat of wild young fellow,
but, if the account of the dastardly at
tempt of Lindsay be true. Mr.. Collier
was certainly right in giving thescoun-
drel the deadly shot.
Collier has telegraphed to Capt. F.
w. Wannanaker, of st. Matthew's, to
engage that gentleman as counsel. 1t is
said that Golfers friends did not want
him to come up and surrender himself
to the sheriff, claiming that he was
perfectly right in shooting Lindsay,
and that he would be set clear by his
countrymen.

What We Pay for Past Fighting.
Baltimore Sun

The pension appropriation bill, re-
ported Tuesday, calls for s9S, ,427 ,461.
This is more than all other govern
ments in the world put together pay
annually for pensions. 1t is as much
as Germany's magnificent standing
army Of nearly 100000 men cost annu-
ally. 1t is therefore burden Of con-
siderable weight, even for as productive
a country as this is. Thinking per-
sons will wonder whether it adds to
our efficiency as a military power,
whether it does not impair our ability
to carry on any future war. AS we are
still paying pensions on account of the
revolutionary war, that closed over a
hundred years ago, we may expect to
be laying for our civil war in 1870.
One would think Congress would con-
slider the outcome of wild pension legis-
lation, but it doesn't. It is intent on
paying the soldier vote for all coming
time.
