handsome, but dissolute Russian. aged
twenty-three. who boarded there and
whose attentions Miss Petrikoysky had
rejected. Popoff is said to belong to a
wealthy family IN Moscow. Two years
ago he received an inheritance which
he soon spent in riotous living and then
fled to America to avoid military serv-
ice. He took up his residence with the
family of J. VI. Petrikovsky and became
smitten with the charms of his hosts
sister, who often visited the house. He
forced his company upon her, though
she told him that she wished nothing
to do with 4 man of his habits.
Yesterday Popof came in while Mrs
Petrikovsky. her brother, Henry Jach
novich and Mary were playing casino.
Popoffs jealousy was aroused. He drew
a revolver. and Mrs. Petrikovsky and
her two children fed screaming from
the room. ,Jachnovich seized Popoff's
hand, but Popoff retained control of the
weapon and told him he would surely
shoot him if he did not let go. Jach-
novich released his hold and Popoff
quickly turned toward Mary, who had
calmly remained seated He fired, and
the bullet passed through the girls tenn
pie. She fell to the floor and died with
out sound.
The murderer walked into his room
and apparently meditated suicide. but
delayed too long, and policeman ar
rested him while he yet had the revol-
yer in his hand. Popoff manifested lit
tie emotion until he was locked in a
cell at the police station, when he be-
gan to rave in Russian, and guard was
placed over him to see that he did him.

a horse and a goat were lately grazing
together in a field in England. They
belonged to the same master, and had
grown to be fast and true friends to one
another The field was open to the
road and bordered only by low hedge
row. and it sometimes happened that a
lot of cruel, idle boys from the town
close by saw fit to amuse themselves by
throwing stones at the poor, little,
harmless goat. while some more cruel
than the rest tried to hit it with a stick.
The horse they did not dare to at
tack: but although they Left him
in peace, whenever he saw his
friend thus ill-treated. he left off
grazing, and however far off he might
be, came racing and galloping across
the field to drive away it's enemies.
But, alas. they always came back; and
when this had gone on several times.
the horse lost patience, and evidently
made up his mind to give them lesson
that they would not forget in 4 hurry.
SO the very next time the young rutfians
appeared and began teazing the poor
goat as before, he galloped up to the
rescue, and suddenly selling with his
teeth one of the lads by the collar of his
coat flung him bodily over the hedge
into the road beyond What hero be

There was once an awful little girl
who had an awful" to every thing.
She lived in an awful house, in an aw-
full village. which was an awful distance
from every other awful place. She
went to an awful school, where she had
an awful teacher, who gave her awful
lessons out of awful books. Every day
she was so awful hungry that she ate
an awful amount of food. so that she
looked awful healthy. Her hat was
awful small. and her feet were awful
large. When she took an awful walk
she climbed awful hills, and when she
got awful tired she sat down under an
awful tree to rest herself. In summer
she was awful hot and in winter awful
cold When it didn't rain there was an
awful drought, and when the awful
drought was over there was an awful
rain. If this little girl doesn't get rid
of this vulgar way of saying awful
about every thing, / am afraid She will
come 10 an awful end.-Canadian Ad.

REORGANIZATION.
Shall the Doctrine of Election and Repro
bation Stand?-Dr. John Hall Opposed to

New YORK, jan. 22.-The second
days debate of the New York Presby-
terry at the Scotch Presbyterian Church,
yesterday afternoon, on the question of
making the changes in the Confession
of Faith advised by the committee of
twelve. was warm and showed strong
opposition to the change on the part of
Rev. DR.. John Hall and other clergy
men. But there were other clergymen
who as stOlidly maintained that the
doctrine that some men, willy nilly, were
fOreoTdained to damnation should no
longer be part of their creed; and the
tenth chapter of the Confession. dis
eliminating between elect and non-elect
infants dying in infancy. also found
strong opponents. Uhe principal speech
against the report Of the committee was
made by Rev Dr. John Hall. He spoke
long and cogently from dogmatic
standpoint. arguing that no change
whatever should be made. He did not
believe part of the Confession could be
considered standing alone properly,
but that each part must be construed
with the rest. There are parts 81 tho
Bible which, if considered separately,
might give cause for offense, but when
interpreted by the rest of the Scriptures,
they lose that characteristic. For in
stance, the passage: God is a jealous
God. visiting the iniquity of the fathers
on the children" ScofferS might take
offense at this passage standing alone.
So with parts of the Confession. He
was against Armenianism and in favor
of CalvaniSm. ArmenianS are allied
with sects whose doctrines tend to lead
TO the Church of Rome. He advised
that the history of the Armenians be
read. There was a tendency to attrib-
ute infinite good nature 10 God and to
deny eternal penalties. While opposed
to the changes suggested. he was also
opposed to the formation of Confess
sion from Scripture passages. He said:
A creed of Scripture passages would be
no creed at all. No more than hymn
is a prayer.
Rev. DR.. Lowery and Rev. Alex Mac
Lean, who opposed the revision, also
addressed the body. The further con-
sideration of the subject was adjourned
until to-day.

a NEW REGULATION.
An Important Amendment to the Mo

That Philadelphia ..Ribbon Case

An Important Amendment to the Mo-
KinIey Customs Administrative Bill
That Philadelphia .Ribbon Case
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The ways and
means committee had under considera-
ton yesterday morning the Mckinley
Customs Administrative bill (afterward
reported to the HouseD and made some
technical changes in it, one of which
will be of great interest to importers
and brokers, and of Importance to the
Government as we'll. The amendments
provides that where an appeal shall be
made from the classification of articles
imported, the goods shall be held at the
custom-house until the appeal is deter
mined.
The proposal of this amendment was
suggested by the recent decision in the
celebrated Philadelphia ribbon case"
involving $1,000, 900. 1t has been the
custom, as in this case. for importers to
bring in goods under protest, the appeal
being under consideration for years,
sometimes, before its final determine
tion. If the appeal is sustained the i'm
porters collect from the Government
the difference between the legal
duty and the duty charged on
all the goods imported under protest. in
the ribbon" case running back to 1888.
These cases it is said are worked up by
sharp brokers who undertake TO prose-
cute the appeals on a contingent fee.
The money recovered from the Govern
ment is thus divided between the broker
and the importer, and the Government
suffers while the consumer gains moth
ing.
The effect of the new regulation, if it
is agreed to, will not be to block impor-
tations. \ case of goods on which test
appeal is made will be held until theap-
peal is determined. If the importer
chooses to enter an appeal or protest on
other goods of the same character, they
also will be held, but if he chooses, he
may continue to import these goods
under the old duty. He will not be en-
titled to recover any ov6rcharge, how
ever, except where protest and appeal
has been p0terpd

DRAGGED TO DEATH.
A Young Lady in TeN2s Meets a Horrible
Death How Her Father Tried to Save
Her-A Wonderful Display of Nerve and
skill.

COMFORT, Tex. Jan. 21.-Niss Eliza
korger. aged sixteen, whose parents re-
side near here, met with a singular
death yesterday. She went to the stable
to release several horses. and one of the
animals became frightened and dashed
out of the stable. The rope became en-
tangled around Miss Korgers neck and
she was dragged off. Her mother saw
the accident and screamed. Her father,
who is pioneer. and, like all of the old
settlers, wonderful shot with the rifle,
sprang up as the maGdened animal tore
10 the house and grasped the weapon
that hung above the bed. When ne
reached the door the horse was seventy
five yards away, and going like the
wind. In the hope of saving his child
old korger leveled the gun and fired.
At the crack of the weapon the horse
sprang in the air and rolled end over
end, shot through the heart. The girl,
however. was quite dead when picked
up. 1t was evident that she must have
been instantly killed by the first bound
of the horse.

WAsHINGToN, Jan 23-Secretary
Window has written a letter to Hon.
John Lind in regard to the bills now
pending before Congress making num-
Der of cities ports of entry and ports of
delivery. After discussing the various
bills in detail and opposing the passage
of them, he says: i deem this fitting
opportunity to invite attention to the
undesira bility of legislation whereby
ports are created at places where there
is no necessity therefor The number
of existing ports is now far in excess of
the needs of business, and the expense
of collecting the revenue is greater
than it should be in consequence. In
my Judgment ports should only be es-
tablished on the Seaboard and frontier
az places where there is commerce with
foreign countries and at such interior
points as may properly be regarded as
distributing centers. The fixed appro-
priation for collecting the revenue from
customs is now and has been for several
years insufficient for the proper neces-
stiles of the Service-a condition of af-
fairs largely owing to the existence of
expensive and unnecessary custom es-
