OYSTER SUPPLY OF LONDON.
A Panic Among Consumers Over Sewage
Flowing in the Fattening Beds.

A Panic Among Consumers Over Sewage
Flowing in the Fattening Beds.
Pail Mall Budget
Lovers of oysters in London have to take
a good deal on trust. The Local Govern
ment Board have been holding an
inquiry on the Thames in regard to a
risiag towns in the estuary of the river,
which has elected some singular revela-
tions as to the quarters where oysters for
the London market are laid to fatten. OBJ
lection was made by the owner of some
oyster beds to carrying the sewage pipes
more out into the river, as that would still
further poison his oysters. In 1887 out of
600, 900 oysters laid on these particular fats
in the lower reaches of the Thames, 80 per
cent died. An equal number was laid in
the following year, when the mortality was
IS per cent; and in 1889, out of 400, 900 laid
down to fatten, nearly one-half died. Since
then only oyster1 for culinary purposes"
the owner was careful to explain, were laid
in these sewage beds.
The Local Government Board Inspector
said from the figures giveE it was clear
there was something wrong, and he should
not like to be the eater or the seller of the
oysters which remained alive. But the
oyster merchant said he must get rid of the
bivalves that remain, although the in
spector hinted that he ought not TO do so.
But for the revelations as to the character
of the fattening ground, the inspector said
he intended to have taken home with him
supply of oysters, but he should certainly
not do SO nova decision which the oyster
merchant Endorsed as wise. Surely it
ought to be the business of some authority
to see that oysters taken from beds washed
over at low water by sewage should not be
put upon the market, even if their use is
confined to culinary purposes.

FEDERAL PRISONERS MALTREATED.
Uncle Sans Convicts to Be Removed Fror

Uncle Sans Convicts to Be Removed From
Arkansas to Columbus, o.
LITTLE ROCK, Nov. 20.-Several weeks
ago Federal prisoner named Abraham
Davis, confined in the Arkansas peniten-
tiary, complained to the Federal authorities
that he had been numerically whipped and
branded with q hot iron in the presence of the
prison officers, and that such treat
ment of prisoners was almost of daily oc-
currence. The United States Attorney
General Immediately directed District At
torney Waters, of this city, to investigate
the case and report to him the facts. The
warden stated that he had ordered Davis
whipped, but he did not know that he was a
Federal prisoner.
District Attorney Waters forwarded the
testimony without recommendation, and the
matter was thought settled until yesterday,
when United States Marshal Spellman re-
ceived peremptory orders from Attorney
General Miller to remove at once all Fed
eral prisoners from the Arkansas peniten-
tiarv and convey them to the prison in
Columbus

BINGHAMTON, y. Y, Nov. 20.-D. H.
McIver, of Goodwin, Washington, is in
perturbed state of mind over the loss of S67
and his sweetheart, Mrs. William
Kelly, nee Miss Dolly B. Nc
Clure. Several months ago Miss
Mcclure came here TO visit relatives She is
a sister-in-law of McIver. She claims that
some months ago McIver put up job to
abduct and marry her. Since she has been
here she has received many letters from
him, several of which contained money.
Last spring McIver claims in letter sent
to the Chief Of Police, Miss Mcclure wrote
him that she was i'll, had no one to support
her but an aunt He sent her some money.
Then she wrote him that she would come
West, but did not have the money. He
sent her draft for SCI and that is the last
he has heard from her He requested her
arrest, but as no warrant has been sworn out
she will not be molested.
In January last Miss Mcclure married
William Kelly, of this city. Mrs. Kelly
claims that the money, with the exception
of the s67, was given to her She expected
TO pay him as soon as possible. McIver has
been notified of her whereabouts, and it is
probable that there will be some interesting

WRECK OF THE SARANAC,
The Vessel Struck a Pinnacle of Rock and
Sank in 15 Minutes.

The Vessel Struck a Pinnacle of Rock and
Sank in 15 Minutes.
A curious accident, happily unattended
with loss of lite, happened to the paddle
wheel vessel Saranac in 1875, on her way up
the Northwest coast to Bering Strait. TAX
ing pilot on board, she attempted to pass
through the little-known Seymour Narrows.
The passage is a most dangerous one, the
current running at the rate of IA miles an
hour when the tide is at its full strength,
with tremendous "overfall' waves
tumbling over and over in their headlong
rush.
The vessel struck rock, stove hole in
her bottom, and sank Immediately, so that
the crew had only about 15 minutes to get
ashore. She sank in very deep water, the
rock being merely tall pinnacle rising
from the bottom, and with gulp disap-
peared entirely from view.

DR. YOUNG ON THE ECLIPSE.
What the Princeton Professor Say. of the
Darkened Moon.


PRINCETON, n. j., Nov. 2o-In an inter-
view with Dr.. Charles A. Young, the we'll
known Princeton astronomer, as to the re-
suits obtained from the recent eclipse of
the moon, he stated that no news had as vet
been received from the European OBJ
servatories and no communications
had passed between Princeton and Harvard
and Amherst, the last two being the only
two prominent observatories in this coun-
try which obtained good view of the
moon during the eclipse He stated
that a few days before the eclipse
ne had received complete charts from
the European observatories giving the num-
ber and exact time of all the stellar occulta-
tions during the eclipse. These small stars,
as rule, are invisible when the moon is
shining as usual, but become visible when
the moon is obscured by the earth's shadow.
There would have been "a of this sort
which would have been visible at Princeton
during the obscuration of the. moon if the
weather had been favorable Sixteen of
them were immersions, or disappearances of
the stars behind the moon, and Is emersions,
or reappearances of the stars. Observations

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

In these piping times of peace, " while the third party humbug agita- tator is bowling, and the thief in office is stealing the peoples money it is refreshing to find something in a secular week Y, to draw the mind off from these things. We commend the following, from the Brenham (Tex.) ) Banner: "Don't hurry to get rich. The problem of how to get rich engrosses the attention of one-third the adult population, while the question of how to keep out of the poorhouse engrosses the atten- tion of the other two-thirds, lib- eral share of both classes at the same time being engaged in the study of how to keep out of jail. Some at tain pennacle of thelr hopes by lucky investments. and some careful souls by depositing their funds in savings bank, for half a century un- dergoing discipline which brings them next door to starvation with out entering it's portals, and finally they reach the height of their ambi- ton in the possession of few thou sand-and then die. There are no set rules for getting rich. The men who are certain to reach this end are men of conservative habit, of wise comprehension, of active and pro- gressive spirit, who have the ability to recognize a good thing when they see it, and who are content to await the development of its fruitful quail ties. However rapid they may be in the search for the dollars singly, they are seldom in a hurry to get rich. Y"

CRISP ELECTED SPEAKER.

The Speakership contest closed Monday night at ? o'clock, Tn the Democratic caucus, resulting Tn Hon. Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia secur- ing the prize. Final vote stood' Crisp. lI9. Mills, lOj, Springer, 1. Hatch. McMilhn and Springer, all withdrew, leaving the fight between Crisp and Mills, when iirnt-named won. On Tuesday Mir. Crisp was duly elected Speaker by the House.
 Mir. Crisp is one of the ableSt statesmen in Congress. and. possess ing much personal magnetism, won the speakership through his popu- laritv, as much as by his fitness for the place. He is strong advocate of tariff reform. and the Democrats made no mistake in so highly honor inq him. In the Democratic caucus hls chief strength came from the Southern States, and the bare asser- tion that opposers of tariff reform brought about his election, falls harmless to the ground.
 Now let Democrats cease growing about not getting their choice for speaker, and earnestly work for 6 grand victory next year. We should have enough confidence in our rep resentatives to believe they acted consclentously and for the best Though we wanted Springer, we car heartily say, hurrah for Crisp.

A SQUARE ISSUE.

Since it has been clearly demon strated that the consumers Of this country, lose annually, the enormous sum of one thousand million dollars, let Democrats everywhere insist up- on square issue i'll regard to the tariff question. Let the robbery cease. We endorse and commend the following from the Dallas (Texas) News;
 "Free trade therefore Tn the com ing fight means tariff for revenue only, and tariff for revenue only means free trade. If the Democrat ic party will push the fight on this line and refuse to apologize for offer ing greater freedom for American commerce their chances for success will be improved. If we fritter away our time explaining that our com mercial freedom plank only means a certain degree of freedom we admit at once that some protection is nec- essary and our cause is weakened, and disaster is sure to follow. What the boys in the ditches want is for their party to take issue squarely and unequivocally with the enemy and fight the Republican principle of protection on every part of the ground. Do this and put clean men at the head of the ticket and it mat ters little who they are, the Demo- cratic masses will rally to their sup mort v

The Cause of Rheumatism.

An acid which exists in sour milk and cider, called tactic acid, is be- lievcd by physicians to he the cause
 of rheumatism. Accumulating in the blood, it attacks the tibrous tis- tues in the joints, and causes ago. nizing pains. What is needed is a
 remedy to neutralize acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys and liver that all waste will be carried off. Hood $ Sarsaparla is heartily recommended by many whom it has cured of rheu- matism. It possesses just the de- sired qualities, and so thoroughly purilies the blood as to prevent oc- currence of rheumatic attacks. We suggest a trial of Hoods SarsaparilIa by all who suffer from rheumatism.

The low price at which cotton has been sold this year will not pay for it's production, and if our farmers continue to raise cotton to the eN- clusion of other products, nothing but rnin and bankruptcy stares the farmer and every other interest in the cotton belt. This state of af- fairs is brought about by the over production of cotton, and the only remedy is for the farmer of the cotton belt not to plant more than one-half the crop next year, and to use their surplus ground to raise corn, wheat rye, oats, flax and hay products. A half crop of cotton in the entire cotton belt will bring the
