government to pay on outstanding railway
subsidies has been under consideration
ten months, aud meantime the admins.

u sum Of $250,OOO 600 wherewith to ex-
tinguish not only existing pledges to pay
railway, but the entire AMOUNT
OF subsidies in the shape
Of. bonds issued for the construction,
which in the course Of the next ten years
are likely to run up to some $60O, OOO. 600

The O'shcn ilivorcc case.

A London special to the World says:
Rumors that the Parnell- O'Shea case was
being settled were prevalent during the
week. 1 can state on the best authority,
however, that the rumors have no basis IN
fact. Parnell's object from the outset has
been to have the case fully investigated.
His only fear is that the form in which
O'Shea's petition has been framed may
limit the scope of the inquiry. AZ it is,
the case is being delayed in IA most unac.
countable way. With ordinary diligence
it might be brought to trial next month,
while now IL is doubtful if it can come on
before autumn.
Mrs. OShea will not consent to q set
Element anyway. She is only too glad to
get a divorce, no matter on backgrounds.

The Pop. on tho Labor ou..tion.


The London Herald of recent date prints
the report Of an interview with the pope.
In discussing the labor question, his holi-
ness dwelt upon the necessity for improve
ing the moral condition Of both workmen
and employers. He said that he intended
to form a committee in every diocese in
the world whose duty it would be to call
the toilers together on every fast day and
rest day and discuss their duties
and teach them and inspire them with
true morality. Sound rules Of life,
said the pope, must be founded upon
religion. The committees which he pro.
posed to form are to consist of workmen
or Of those sympathizing with workmen,
and a bishop is to be at the head of each
committee. Referring to the subject Of a
European disarmament, he said that Q
military life surrounds thousands Of young
men with violent and immoral influences,
and brushes and degrades them. Armies
drain countries Of their wealth; they with.
draw labor from the soil, overtex the poor,
impoverish the ~populace, set the people
against each other and intensity national
jealousies. They are anti. Christian. The
doctrine OF arbitration, as accepted BY
America. is the true principle, but most Of
the men controlling Europe do not desire
the truth.

A Reverend B,x.n,,.,.

Rev. John Wood, who a few years since
was a boy at Newburg. N. v, has risen to
be a minister of the gospel without the
formality of graduating from the school of
theology. He is also noted for his powers
as a Methodist exhorter. Incidentally he
has been a captain Of the Salvation Army.
His indiscretion is marrying a second wife
without the formality of q divorce from the
first. the daughter Of a retired New Jersey
judge, has led to his incarceration in jail
at Olean, n. Y. His first or lawful wife
has begun II suit for divorce.
Wood is only 26 years old and is hand
some. In December, 1888. he married the
daughter of ex-Judge Ulie at Philiipsburg,
representing that he was a graduate Of
Columbia college and of fine family. Wood
went to preach at Michael after his mar
risge. Last October he received a call to q
much more lucrative pastorate in Port Al
leRhany, Pa. He was transferred to the
general conference and went TO Port ALE.
ghany to preach. He did not take his wife
along, but left her with her parents at
P~hillipsburg. The parsonage, he told her,
was not fit to take 80 dainty a lady into,
but as soop as il was properly repaired he
would come to Phillipsburg for her.
Two days later Wood arrived at Buffalo,
where he was married to Miss Ida Bell
Mann, % years old. Wood and his new
wife went to Port Allegheny and took up
their residence in the Methodist parson-
age. He went to the Ulis mansion at
Phillipsburg five days after his second
marriage. The repairs were not yet fin
ished on the parsonage. he told his wife.
By frequent trips to Phillipsburg and the
most plausible of excuses about the par.
sonage at Port Allegheny, he allayed any
fears his wife may have had, and carried
on his dual life in apparent security, but
it was not to last. The minister was be-.
trayed by q friend. who accidentally dis.
covered his secret.
Wood had made all preparations to goto
Germany, where he has an uncle. Tocon-
ciliate his real wife he told her that he had
been forced into a marriage with Miss
Mann, whose health has been too delicate
to attend his trial, and was on the point Of
t~eegraphing her TO meet him for flight to
Germany when he was arrested. To Miss
Mann he said his wife was an adventures.

Tornado Poisoning.

A week ago the family Of Lewis Prewitt,
living near Lagrange. KY, was attacked by
a virulent disease, the nature Of which the
local doctors were unable to determine.
Its symptoms were similar to those Of
spotted fever, but no cause Of such q dis
ease could be found in the surrounding
n%eighborhood. DR.. D. n. Porter, q physi-
clan of En,inence, was called in, and at
length decided that it was tornado poison.
ing" The germs, he said, were borne on
the late tornado from some infected dis.
trict. probably hundreds Of miles away,
and lodged in the vicinity of the Prewitt
homestead. He claims that smallpox and
other virulent diseases have thus been
communicated to patients in many cases
in medical history. The community 10
much alarmed. as it 10 impossible to tell
what dire disease may be lurking in its
midst. One Of Prsvitt's daughters has
died and two othsrs and . son are at pres.

The brake NJ Bayou sara.
A Bayou Sara special, relating to the
great Moreanza crevasse, says the water
there is only a foot or less below the crown
OF the levee, which, at the break, was
twenty six feet high with . base Of over
2OO feet. The break is nov some 1900
feet wide and is eaving Oh at the lower end
at the rate Of 800 feet in "a hours. The
average coat of this levee was $40 per
linesl foot, so that at the present rate of
caving Of the lower end il il washing away
at the rate Of $4,000 a day. Every effort
will be used to protect what remains Of
the Morgapza with as little delay az pos.
sible.
The stories OF suffering and loss of life
in the oveffsowed districts are to say the
least premature. Thus far some stock
has been drowned and it in impossible to
predict how serious the loss to stock may
he in the interior. but even nov there are
many who will not take the, trouble to havs
it removed. though they are absolutely
sure to be overtaken by tho
back water within the nsxt
few days. Fortunately the water
from the Great Morgauxa crevasse falls
into an uninhabitable swamp less than lOO
yards from the base of the levee, and it is
sheer nonsense to suppose that it will
overtake any one who has ample warning
Of its approach.

prohibition in Dakots.


Under . decision Of the South Dakota
encouragement, druggists cannot sell
liquor for any purpose whatever before
June l. The prohibitory law goes into
effect May 1. but the law requires thirty
days notice to be given by the druggist
of his intention to make application for a
permit to sell liquor. As this law is NOT
yet in effect, notices cannot be filed before
May /. The statute is very severe on vio-
lations of this law, and it is in nearly all
instances made a penitentiary offense for
-reace officers who fail or refuse to prose-
cute. Enforcement leagues have been Or
ganized in every county IN the state and it
will be very difficult and hazardous bust
ness to engage in illicit liquor traffic in

Representative Pickler objects to some
paragraphs that have recently appeared in
the press regarding his course on prohibi-
ton, which has lost him many friends and
much influence in the house, where he has
compelled members to 60 on record. Pick
Ter says that he was sent to Washington
by prohibitionists, and is representing his
constituents. The men who do not like to
go on record are those opposed to his
principles, he asserts, which is their fault.
Picker says that if they did not bring
liqnor legislation he would not be obliged
to fight it. He asserts that his intentions
have been misrepresented, and he has been
needlessly criticised in his state.
