Mr.. VIM. l.. MAY, of the Centre

Coast Beacon from the Company
for number of years, aud will re-
move to Pass Christian and take

Mr.. May is a young and energetic
man, practical printer and has
had many years experience in
editing and publishing therefore,
in advance, the patrons of the
Beacon may expect considerable
improvement in the paper. The
citizens of Pass Christian we hope
will give Mr.. May their support

THE verdict in The case of the
State against Col. w. L. Heming-
way, Ex-Treasurer of this State,
for embezzlement, was perhaps a
surprise to his many friends about
the Capital, but nevertheless, it is
just what the people of the State
expected if Hemingway should
get and what he deserved. The
jury did their sworn duty in the
premises, and they will receive The
thanks Of The honest people of the
entire State for what they did
Hon. Robert N. Miller, The able
District Attorney, dil his duty
con>clentiously and fearleSsly,
and he, too, deserves the thanks OF
our people generally. Judge J. b.
Chrisman, the presiding Judge,
comes IN for a large share of praise
tor The manner in which lie ruled
in the case-impartially and con.
scienIiously he presided. The law
Of Mississippi has been vindicated,
and although Col. Hemingway's
many friends regret his fate, still
he must bear up under it as best
he can. Let no guilty man escape.

Was he Buried Alive,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 3.-The local
press is puzzled over the case OF John
j. O'Connor, which is certainly a most
remarkable one.
IL was claimed that he had died and
that bis body was taken to the morsue.
where it was identified by his wife.
who had him buried in Calvary Gene.
tery.
a few days later it was claimed that
O'ConnOr was alive. that his wife had
been mistaken, and that the man who
was taken TO the grave was not her
husband.
1t now tTanspIres that there is everv
reason TO believe that O'Connor was
not buried by proxy, but in his own
proper person, some time bet ween the
night OF Monday, February 10 and the
afternoon of Wednesday. O'Connor
was seen Saturday night. and stated
most emphAtically that the grave in the
cemetery is empty. and he exhibited a
cut which had been made half way
across the abdomen. He Is of the
opinion that he was really buried, and
that his body was taken up and con-
veyed TO dissecting room while in a
state OF suspended animation, and that
when the first ircision was made IL
csused flow Of blood which restored
him TO consciousness. He states that
he went to a lodging house Monday
evening. and that he knew nothing
more until Wednesday night. when he
found himself seated on the Court
House steps in dszed condition, weak
and sick.

Hard Times for Farmers.

The farmers of Montgomery and
Berks coutnies have been aroused to
organized action by the general de-
preston in the farming. interests of
those counties. It.is claimed that the
market value OF farm lands in Montgom-
cry county has declined forty per cent.
during the last ten years, ana it is as
cerSained in both counties that many
farmers will he compelled TO abandon
farming in the near future unless some
speedy aud substantial relief can be OBJ
tained.
The depression of the farming inter-
ests is not only logical but it is iDevita-
BILE. They are now paying nearly the
same high war taxes on everything they
buy that they paid when they received
war prices of 81 per oushel for their
whea: and like prices for all their other
products. The needless tariff taxes the
farmers pay upon the necessaries OF
life would make the difference between
actual loss and reasonable profit on any
well regulated farm in Montgomery and
Berks counties.
The farmers are Knocked with false
protection, and thus taxed excessively
on what they must buy when there is
no possible method OF protecting them
in their chief products, the price OF
which is regulated by the foreign mar
ket to which their surplus must go.
They are Knocked by protection on
wool, when there are not five hundred
farmers In Pennsylvania who would not
gain more from free wool in cheapened
woolens they consu me than they could
possibly lose on wool; and for the mock
cry or protection on wool, vegetables,
eggs, butter, ETC., they are taxed in
home aud barn from foundation to roof;
taxed in furniture, clothing. utensils,
farm implements, and everything that
goes on their tables from salt to china,
with the single exception OF tea and
coffee
The farmers are walking monuments
OF high war taxation in time of peace,
as are their wives, their children and
their Iabors. When war taxes were a
necessity and values OF farm products
advanced with taxes. farmers could
afford war taxation but war taxes
with wheat and other farm products at
two-ffths their price in war times,
must bankrupt our farming Interests
In the old States. Let the farmers look
to Congress, where tariff revision is on
hand, and note that wool and wooIens
are to be loaded with increased taxes,
and that tin plate OF universal uss on
our farms from kitchen utensils to din
ner pals and out house roofs, is to be
Increased one hundred and twenty-five
per cent. in taxes, and they will under
stand why they are i'm poverished and
where the remedy is to be found.
Truly, these are hard times for farmers,
but 1t is quite as true that the farmers
have always had the power to release
themselves from bondage and that they
have thus far failed to exercise It,

The old Story

LOUISVILLE, March 4.-Wili;am II .
Pope, teller of The Louisville City
National bank. sbsconded on last Sat-
uTday with sec, 600 OF the banks money
in his possession. Nothing has since
been heard of him. II is supposed that
he is DOW in Canada.
The bank will not be ineonvenienced
py its loss. which will amount to rot
more than $40 600, as Pope furnished a
gilt edged bond of $50 600. Monday
morning Pope failed to appear at his
desk at the usual hour.
It was his custom TO come TO the bank
shortly before 8 O'Clock. and in com
pany with The cashier, Mr.. William s.
Parker, open the safe, take out the
money and books, and arrange for the
days business.
The minutes went by and still Pope
did not come. "WelI, he's gone to his
fathers home. about eight miles from
town. aud cannot get back owing to
the high water" thought the bank off
cials. HE has a sister who is at the
point of death. and maybe she is dead ~
said Mr.. Parker.
Vice President Lsech was In his
private office. He sent for Mr.. Parker
and asked il Pope had reported. Mr..
Parker sent back word that he had not.
Mr.. Leech went to the front and the
thought flashed across his mind that
possibly the teller had robbed the bank
of a large sum and fed.
"We will open the safe and count the
money" said Mr.. Lsech. He and the
cashier went into the vault.
The officers commenced the count of
the money and clerks began to check
q 1a -
were finished, and $50, 600 in bank and
United States notes were found miss
ing.
1t is known that Pope took the Mon
on express Saturday night for Chicago.
lt is not knOwa whether Pope went 10
Canada or to Mexico from there
A large number OF photographs and
descriptions OF him were mailed to al
points in Canada. the United States
and Mexico. His defalcation Is at
triouted to whisky and poker.

PEOPLE who travel will be interest
ed in recent decision made by the Su-
preme Court of Nebraska. \ man who
occupied berth in a car went out 20
get breakfast, leaving his overcuat In
his seat, and when he returned found IL
had been stolen. He recovered
the value Of the coat, the court holding
that the sieePiug-csr company renders a
service similar 20 that o. a hotel keeper,
and is subject TO the same liabilities.
Articles carried by traveller, and nee
essary to his comfort, when placed in
the care OF the company's employees are
at the eompany's risk. The question is
one that has not been passed upon IN
many States, but this decision will be
quoted as prededent in any future
cases. II certainly seems inst protec.

Suit can either be brought in the Su>
preme Court or in the Court OF Claims.
The proceedings can be quo-warrsnto
in nature, and based on a call to the
Speaker to show cause why he prevents
me from exercising the privileges of a
member. A suit for salary can also be
entered. In either event the question
for settlement will be whether the
Speaker has right to declare q men,
unseated without a quorum. The
Democrats say that they will not bring
suit until Mr.. Atkinson the member
seated in place of Mr.. Pendleton votes
on some bill which becomes a law, and
then they will make the point that It is
unconstitutional.
