BosroN. Feb. l5.-The mystery sur
rounding tho disappearance Of Hiram

PEELED, and the suspicious which yester-
day pointed directly at his brother as
his murderer have grown deeper.
Whatever doubt may have been en-
tertained as to the fate Of Hiram, was
removed when his body was found by

BILE TO REGULATE RAILROADS IN
THE STATE.
| Mr.. Yarrell has introduced in the House
of Delegates a railroad bill, of which the
Dispatch gives the following synopsis:
The bill provides that there shall be three
railroad commissioners-one practical
| farmer, one lawyer, and the third shall have
experience in railroad matters The terms of
| their office shall begin on the LIST of April
after their election and they shall hold Office
Tor SIX years, but the terms of Office of the
commissioners first elected should be as fol-
lows: One Tor two years, one for four years.
one for six years, and in case of vacancy the
Governor shall appoint. They shall not hold
railroad stock or bonds OF be connected in
any way with railroad companies; shall be
furnished with an Office and can employ a
secretary, and are required to make sched-
ule OF just and reasonable rates, which will
be legal evidence in contests in the courts, and
the schedule shall be posted at stations of all
railroads. The salaries and expenses of the
commission are made payable quarterly.
Every officer, agent, OF employee of the rail
roads who shall fail OF refuse to furnish any
report required by the commission shall for
felt to the State and pay not less than 800
nor more than $1,000 for each offence. The
act permits the free carriage of officers and
employees, and also freight and passengers
for charitable purposes. If the bill becomes
law it will go into effect on the 1st OF July
This bill had its origin in the Farmers AS
sembly which met here before the holidays
| and was prepared by the committee composed
OF members of the Legislature then appointed

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

1t is probable that no similar amount ap
propriated by the Michigan legislature is
as remunerative to the people of that State
as the $500 per annum it has given every
year for the past fifteen, to the holding OF
Farmers Institutes. This amount of mon
ey is spent in holding six Institutes under
the conduct of the State Agricultural Col
lege. The expense is about $50 for eacl
Institute held. So popular are they, that
there are not less than fifty locations petit
tioning for an Institute every year. The
State Board of Agriculture directs the To-
calities in which they shall beheld each yeal
and the selection is made with reference to
many conditions, not the least being the
interest shown by the farmers Of that local
ity in having the Institute held there. A
professor from the State Agricultural Col
lege conducts the Institute Prominent
agriculturists in the State deliver practical
addresses. and it is specially agreed upon
that one-half of the programme shall bt
furnished by local talent. The locality
furnishes hall for the Institute and music
and the day is made a sort Of gala day by
those interested in agriculture-theirw wives
and families coming to the town in great
numbers to participate in it.
If the Virginia legislature would inaugu
rate these Institutes we believe they
would be popular with the farmers, an(
they would most certainly be useful. The
$500 would give the largest returns in goot
results, of any money spent by this legisla
ture.

THE UNIVERSAL EPIDEMIC.

The universal spread of the grippe cpl
demic seems to be now complete. There is
no quarter of the globe, civilized OF barbar-
Gus. that has been heard from that it is not
prevailing in. The cases in which it is fol-
lowed by fatal pneumonia are much less
numerous than Il week ago, and where it has
| been prevailing in the United States the
form is much less severe. Death only Oc-
ours where there was already other disease
affecting the respiratory organs, OF where
sheer exhaustion growing out of the grippe
enables some other disease to conquer the
patient.
There are many vacant seats in Congress
caused by the grippe. Among those who
have it is Senator John w. Daniel of Vir-
ginia. There are also several seats vacant
in the Virginia legislature. Senators Hurt
and Rawlings and Delegate Wilkins are
absent. There are many cases in Richmond,
but like in the Test of the State, they are OF
a very mild form. Lt.-Gov. Hoge Tyler is
a sufferer from it.
Among the well known people of the coun-
try who are suffering from it ale DE-. John
Hall pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyte-
rian church New York, Mayor Grant,
Lillian Russell the opera singer, Deputy Col
Letter McClelland, and U. S. Judge Batch
ford Of the same city. Among the deaths
there were those of Gustave Mortimer and
Frederick Hall two well known actors.
! AT Charleston, Kanawha, II. d. Walker,
Teller of the Kanawha Valley Bank, died
of the epidemic on Wednesday of last week.
| At Berlin, Oh Monday, the dowager En-
press Augusta, the widow Of the great
Emperor William, died of the epidemic in
her eighty-ninth year.
At Jacksonville, Fla, there are 100 cases.
The letter carrier force in Baltimore is
depleted by it. Captain Rufus P. Staniels,
a prominent insurance agent and Grand
Army man, aged So years, died at Concord,
n. H., of typhoid-pneumonia, following in
fiuenza Theodore Zackel, aged "A years,
shot himself through the heart to end his
suffering from the grippe in New Y DIRK city.
Two fatal cases have occurred at Buffalo.
n. Y. John McWiliams, of Lewiston. Me-.
became insane from the grippe and killed
his wife by chopping her head with an
axe. Soldiers in the garrison at Halifax
are suffering from the disease, and sailors
on the steamer Miranda, arriving there
from New York had it. The works of the
Smart Manufacturing Company, the Mann
Company and the Cossitt Company at
Brookville, Canada, have been compelled to
shut down. In London, England, Right
Hon. Henry Chaplin, president Of the
board of agriculture. has been attacked by
the influenza in q severe form. The dis
ease has made its appearance in Liverpool,
England. The contagion there is directly
traceable to letters that came from Russia.
There are numerous cases of the disease at
Birkenhead and Dorchester, England. The
weather is muggy and this conduces to the
spread of the disease. In France the cpl
demic is severe at Toulon, Nancy, Rouen,
and it has spread to Algiers. At Amster-
dam, Holland, three telegraph offices have
been closed owing to the employees being
Frustrated by influenza.

The bill introduced Id tile Legislature to

sequel of the failure to establish workbous-

crime go unpublished, which it amounts to

Low is the light downturned, and he
Enraptured by her graces and her charms,
Clasps her close to him as they sit
Unparalleled in one another's arms,
Sweet are the words of love they sigh,
And VOWS which only lovers know are made
He showers warm kisses on her brow,
And she returns them painting, half afraid.
Fast fly the moments, and the hours
Roll by, as fuller grows his cup of Joy,
Young things, they think of nothing else,
The present seems pure gold without alloy.
When har1 there is cracking sound!

An icy sweat is on his brow,
He fain would go, but she cries, pleading
