A SPECK OF WAR.
A Postmaster Elect viii be Assisted
to Take His ORcc.

l.. l.. Duckworth, recently appointed
postmaster at Sharon, Taliarerro coun-
ty, Georgia, has represented TO the
postoifcs department that he is pre-.
vented by threats Of personal violence
and hostile demonstrations from taking
possession of his Office. II appears that
Duckworth, who is understood to be an
independent Republican, was some time
ago appointed postmaster to succeed
the Democrat, who with his friends, 1t
islrepresented. have since used every
means to prevent his successor from
taxing charge Of the office. Threl's
of personal violence and even death,
it is stated, were publicly made and
heaped upon him. On the 9th OF the
present month DucSworth wrote the
postmaster general he could hold out
no longer, fearing he would be killed,
and asked that his resignation be ac-,
cepted. After consultation with the
pre- sident and First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Clarkson, Mr.. Wanamaker
telegraphed Mr.. Duckworth rs follows:
"Whatever power this department has,
will be used to protect you and put you
in possession of the Office TO which you
have been appointed. Communicate
freely by telegraph the full facts II in
terfered with further, and immediate
action will be taken" He also ordered
two postofiice inspectors TO proceed i'm
mediately to Sharon and investigate
the whole matter. Attorney General
Miller has ordered the United States
marshal to the scene of the trouble.
Duckworth was recommended for Office
by u large numbered reputable citizens.

MAN AND MONEY MISSING.
The Pacific Express Company Rob-
bed of Large Amount.

The biggist sensation in express cir
oles since the time of the famous Jim
Cummings" robbery, was occasioned in
st. Louis Feb. 9th, when it was learn
ed that the Pacific Express Company
had been robbed of $35, 900. February
the City National bank of Dallas,
Texas, RENTED to the Commercial Ma
tional Bank OF st. Louis, $4,000 in
gold and $35, 900 in bills. The gold
was duly received. The bank notified
Supt Fuller that they held receipt
for $50, 900 in currency which was not
received. The superintendent tele-
graphed his assistant at Dallas, who
replied that there was no trace OF the
ackage there. With the reply came
the astounding information that the
money clerk at the Dallas office,
young man named f. A. Walton, has
been missing since Feb. 2nd. His ac-
counts had been looked over, but were
all straight, and nothing in particular
was suspected until the inquiry came
from st. Louis, then the cunning scheme
was exposed. Walton made out two
receipts, one for $4,000 and one for
$50, 900 on one blank. On the dupli-
cate forwarded to st. Louis, however,
no mention was made of the s35, 200
and consequently he was given time to
get the money away. The express
company has telegraphed description
OF the absconder everywhere and hope
to capture him. Walton came, origin
ally from Iona. Mich, and had worked
for several express companies. He
was believed to be of exemplary habits.

Good Rules for Winter.

The following rules are worth heed
ing by those who believe that an ounce
Of prevention is worth pound of
cure:
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold.
Never begin journey Until the
break fast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
immediatel,' go out into the cold.
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder blades, well covered; also
the chest well protected. In sleeping
in cold room establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for un-
less the skin is in active condition the
cold will close the pores, and favor
congestion and other diseases.
After exercise of any kind, never
ride in an open carriage or near the
window of car for moment; II is
dangerous to health and even to life.
When hoarse, speak rs little as pos
sible until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may BIO perma-
nontly lost, or difficulties of the throat
be produced.
Merely warm the back by q fire,
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to heat after it has become
uncomfortable warm. To so expose
the back is facilitating.

May he King Of Italy.

The prince of Naples, the future
king OF Italy, If that country is destiu-
cd to have another king, is described
as a silent, cold and stoical young man,
overburdened by scientific and phil.
osopbical education. He Is, moreover,
u hard working soldier He never
smiles and salutes rarely. IL is need
less to say that he is not popular. 1t
may be that he mas simply undertaken
TO ape Won Moltke. Two stories are
already TOLD OF him, which are sup
posed to give an indication OF his
character. When he was about IL
years old he had u somewhat violent
quarrel with his cousins and other
children belonging TO the court. you

FRANCE IN A FURRY.
The Arrest ofthe Duc D'Orlcans Pre-
tender 10 the Throne.

The Due d'Orleans, who was arrest
ed in Paris, for violating the decree of
exile Issued against the members of his
family, occupies a comfortable apart
ment in the Conciergerie prison, The
minister of the interior has given or
ders that he is to be treated with dis
tinctiou. The mouarchist mombers OF
the chamber of deputies have decided
to interpolate the government as to its
reason for imprisoning the duke. The
Republique Franchise, in commenting
on the arrest OF the duke, points out
that the expulsion imposes a penalty
OF from two To five years Imprisonment
upon the head or direct heir of any
family that has reigned in France who
violates its provisions. At meeting
OF the cabinet ii was decided To strictly
enforce the provisions of the expulsion
law against the young duke. The duke
was taken before the tribunal OF the
Seine, where he was charged with na-
from France pretenders TO the throne,
In reply to the charge, he said he came
TO perform his military duties. lie
asked for an adjournment of the ease,
in order TO allow him TO consult his
counsel. The duke OF Orleans has
written letter to President Carnot APP
pealing for permission TO save his
country. The Republican majority in
the chamber approves the attitude the
government has taken in deciding upon
the simple enforcement Of the law.
The left looks upon the dukes act as u
mere boyish escapade, and holds he
should be tried and sentenced TO assert
the majesty of the law, but after SEN
tence he should be pardoned and sent
out of France. Thus the law would be
upheld and there would be no royal
victims of Republican persecution. The
right has abandoned the intention to
interpolate the government.

SALT LAKE ELECTION.
The Gentiles Win by a Good Round
Majority.

The municipal election In Salt Lake
City, the result OF which is awaited
with such wide interest. passed off very
quietly on the 10th, contrary to gener.
al expectations. The city had been
crowded for days with special police,
detectives and deputy United States
marshals, for the purpose of prevent.
ing illegal voting which each party
claimed the other would retort TO. 1t
was anticipated that attempts to chal-
lenge and arrest some voters would
result in bloodshed. This, however,
was not realized, although, the excite
ment was intense. Half the business
houses were closed, bands paraded the
streets which We're jammed with excit-
ed citizens. Only six arrests were
made for alleged illegal voting and
these without any demonstrations
Snow began falling early in the morn
ing and continued until noon when the
sun came out and soon transformed the
streets into rivers of slush. BY noon
three thousand votes had been cast,
which by the poll books showed that
about rs per cent of the peoples (Mor-
monl registered vote had been cast and
about 80 per cent Of the liberals. At
5 o'clock the estimated returns from
every ward in the city gave the total
vote at 6,29S, divided as follows: Cen
tiles, 3,443; Mormons, 1856. AT 6
o'clock Chairman Powers claimed that
the Gentle majority would reach l 400.
This. however, is denied by Chairman
Richards, who says it is impossible to
tell which side is victorious until the
complete returns are in. The Mormons
claim fraud has been the order OF the
day with the Gentiles, and if they are
victorious it will have been by those
methods. In this event the Mormons
will contest the election in the United
States supreme court.

GRAHAM HAS GONE.
He Was indicted for Attempted jury
Bribery i'm the Cronin Case.

John Graham, indicted with others
for attempted jury bribery in the
Cronin case, has left Chicago. An
acquaintance says that he has gone to
Mexico. His wife said he had gone to
Mount Clemens, Mich, across the
river from Canada. His bondsmen
profess to have no knowledge OF his
whereabouts. Lawyer Trude. Gra-
hams former employer and now his
attorney, says he doesn't believe Gra-
ham has skipped, but If he has it is
because he doubted the possibility of
getting fair jury on account Of the
adverse criticisms in the Cronin case.
Trude insists Graham is innocent, but
that he has exaggerated the dread of
being tried by jury under the pres
ent circumstances. States Attorney
LongeDecker did not seem to fear that
Graham would not be on hand.
