CINCINNATI, Aug. 3G.-The First Bap-
fist church has become involved in e dis
agreement concerning the pastor, Rev. G..
NJ, Lockwood, who was recently nomin-
ated for secretary of state by the Prohi-
b~itionists. At a meeting of the advisory
board, during Lockwood's absence. reso
lutions were adopted requesting him to
resign. Upon his return a church meet
ing was held at which a vote was taken
against his resignation and declaring the
meeting of the advisory board illegal and
its proceedings void. There is a denial
by those opposing Lockwood that their
opposition is caused by his candidacy on
the Prohibition ticket.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O-The secretary
OF the interior today decided the case of
the Central Pacific rairoad against S. D.
Valentine, involving the question of the
exception of mineral lands from railroad
grants. The particular tract involved is
In the Sacramento, Gala, land district.
The secretary holds that by the terms of
the grant all mineral lands" are ex.
cepted from its operation whether known
10 be mineral in character at the date
when the railroad company's rights were
attached under the grant or not, or if they
are discovered to be mineral lands at any
time before the issuance of patents to the
company or certification where patent is
not required. He also holds that the dis
So7ery OF the mineral chracter of the
lands alter the eompany's rights have at
tacned to Its granted lands proves that
such lands were mineral in character at
.he GATE when the company's rights at.
tached and were therefore within the
Terms OF exception from the grant. THIS
decision is OF vast importance to a rail-
road running through mineral lands. u
IS contrary to the doctrine laid down by
Judge Sawyer, United States circuit judge
IN California. in the recent decision 10 the
Gaze OF tranconer against Newhouse.

France and The American Hog.


PARIS. Aug. 3O-Several of the
French papers have been discussing Uni
ted States Minister Reeds letter to
Foreign Minister Ribat concerning the
prohibition of American pork. The
Journal Des de Batds thinks the prohi-
bition unreasonable in view of American
pork securing the highest prize at the
French exposition and thinks the govern
ment will soon withdraw it.
la Paris says that if American retalla-
ton is carried out it would cut off the
sale Of 400. GOO. 600 francs worth of French
product annually, and the public health
will not be damaged by admitting a few
tons of American pork.
Figaro thinks France was wrong in the
prohibition, but holds that it is now i'm
possible to move backwards or take an
attitude Of yielding before the economic
threats of America.
The Monite1u UniUerseHe points to the
recent address of Nj. Ribat as proving
that the government is convinced that it
must abandon the prohibition. This con
%ciusion, it says, is reached after hearing
from the French minister at Washington
that il France insisted in the prohibition
Of American pork it would have to submit
to a heavy advance in the duties on its
products.
La LdnterHe thinks the French wine
growers will soon be convinced that there
is little advantage in protecting French
hogs, and in the interest of all the beet
growers and distillers, putting prohibitive
duties On American corn If the result is
to lose their own market.
Steele approves absolutely Minister
Reeds letter and says the prohibition
against American Pork was a fault which
should be put IN end to.

Wool AND WOoLENs.
Daniel Gives Good Reasons for
Repeating the Duty,
But His Argument Has No
Effect on Republicans,
Postmaster Clarkson Steps
Down and Out.
In the Senate.

WASHINGTON. Aug, 30.-Morgan pre-
sented resolutions Of a colored mass meet
ing in Birmingham, Ala, against the
passage of the federal election bill.
Several u%nimportant bills OF a local
character were passed and the tariff bill
was then taken up, the pending question
being Caflisle's motion to strike out the
wool paragraphs, so as to place wool on
the free list.
Daniel addressed the senate 10 support
of the amendment. The facts demon
strated, be SAID, that the high tariff on
wool and woolens was a complete failure.
If that high tariff had been designed to
stimulate the American manufacturer of
woolens. it had failed. If the design bad
been to increase the number of American
sheep ana the cultivation OF hocks and
the wool clip, it had failed. If the design
had been to decrease the price of wool, it
had succeeded. The high duty had not
checked the importation of foreign wools,
because these were necessary for the utili-
cation of American woods.
After considerable debate a vote was
taken and Carlisle's motion to strike out
the wool paragraphs was reiected-Yeas
II, nays 27-a strict party vote.
The finance committee reported an
amendment 10 the paragraph relating to
wooden and worsted yarns worth less than
thirty cents a pound by increasing the
rate per pound from two to two and one
half cents per pound on unwashed wool
of the first class.
Allison believed that some rates in the
wool schedule were top high. The Re
publican finance committee, however, had
been told by their Democratic associates
to go on and make up the bill to suit
themselves, aud that they (the Democrats)
would content themselves with offering
amendments to it. and therefore the bill
was now treated on both sides of the
chamber as a party question.
Plumb said that Allison's statement
meant that every line. and letter, and
punctuation in the wool schedule had be-
come an article of party faith, and that as
a party man he (Allison) was obliged to
stand by them all. He Plumb did not
believe in bargains where one side did all
the trading.
Allison replied to Plumb's structures
and said that he was in favor Of the gen
eral principles Of protection to American
industries and American interests as he
understood them, and therefore it was
when the minor details OF the bill were
reached hat he surrendered his own
Judgment and stood upon the enlightened
Judgment Ut his associates. He expected,
however. that on some material points in
the bill he would be found in antagouism
with some of his associates on the com
mittee. He admitted that he had never
been satisfied with the wool schedule. He

JEFFERSON CRY. Mo, Aug. 30-Fred
Wittrock, alias Jim Cumming the
famous Pacific Express robber, is dying
in the penitentiary. On Oct. &c, 1885,
Wittrock, who is from L~eavenworth,
Kan. Frank Haight, u st. Louis express
messenger, and third man from Chicago
held up Express Messenger rockingham
on a Missouri Pacific train about twenty
miles west of st. Louis and robbed the
safe Of more than 500, 900. rockingham
was arrested for completely, and Wittrock
wrote letters to the Pinkertons signed
Sim Cummings" defending the
messenger against the charge made
against him. The gang was arrested in
Chicago, and all but $1,000 ofthe money
recovered. Wittrock received ten years
and the others seven years each. The
sldk man sa d yesterday: Il always
thought my heart was my weak spot, and
l guess L m a goner this time" Three
weeks ago he was working in the harness
shop, as strong and robust as any prisoner
in the penitentiarY. He weighed 200
pounds and never complained of any ache
or pam until two weeks ago when he said
he was i'll. The next day he could not
leave his cell and was taken to the
hospital. The picture of the girl he was
in love with and who indirectly was the
cause of his arrest, has been sent to the
hospital at his request and his mother has
been telegraphed for. Jim" has wasted
away during the past two weeks until he
Is only a skeleton, and those who have
seen him say they do not think he will
live much longer. He suffers great agony,
but does not complain. There is a rumor
to the effect that Jim has given the
warden a written confession OF the train
robbery for which he is serving time, and
tells where the money not recovered BY
the express company can be found. The
warden will neither admit nor deny the
truth of this story, which gives rise to the
belief that he was given the manuscript
sealed to be opened only after the death
of the convict.

RocKFoRD, ILL.,. Aug. 30-Mrs.
Medora Kinnehan, who a short time ago
left the Schweinfurth Zion and created
CONSERVATION in the camp of the faithful
and such a howl of indignation from the
citizens of this city by d~enouncing the
morals of the great impostor. has made a

depot to take a train for Chicago As

A few days ago she went to the house
OF Apostle Graudy, where her household
goods were stored, and he drove her out
to see and talk with Schweinfurth. There
she was promised forgiveness ifshe would
return, and in spite Of every argument
which Mrs. Price, who has defended and
cared for the woman, could bring to bear
she remained firm in her determination to
60 back to the Weldon farm. She told
Mrs. Price she would be delighted to
become a mother through the agency Of

a carriage and was taken back to the place
from which she came a few weeks ago with

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS
Minority Report Presented on
the Refunding Bill.
Legislation at This Time Be.
lieVed to be Premature.
The Majority Report Unfair
to the Government.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O-Representa-
tive Dalzell today submitted to the house,
in behalf of the minority of the house
committee on Pacific railroads, a report IN
opposition to thu bill foE the refunding of
the debt of the Central and Union Pacific
roads. 1t is signed by Dalzell, Flick,
Cooper Of Indiana, O'Neill Of Massachu-
sets and Reilly. The opposition OF these
representatives is based upon different
reasons and they refrain, therefore, from
setting forth at length their individual
views. Some OF them are of the opinion
ehat thus legislation is premature at this
time, as seven years are yet to elapse be-
fore the maturity of the debt and may
bring forth changes in the financial situa-
ton that would prove any action taken at
this time unwise. If the funding acts
eventually prove the proper method
they can as well be passed hereafter,
when the real relation between the gov
ernment and debtors at the time the debt.
mature can be intelligently grasped. The
minority are unanimous in the opinion
that railway companies are not justified
IN asking any arrangement upon business
principles except upon the basis hat they
shall pay the utmost iarthiug of their
debt. They are clearly of the opinion. as
a plain business proposition, that the bill
reported by the majority gives an unjust
advantage to the debtors and fails to do
justice to the government.

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
Cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow.selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If You want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
u rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.
