Rraved Itself to Death.

JACKSON, TENN, March 3n.-Henry Bonnor,
living near this place, lost fine mule yester-
day in a remarkable manner. About two years
ago he purchased the animal for s4O0, and a
few days ago he bought another and cheaper
one. The $500 animal resented the intrusion of
the newcomer, and as soon as the latter arrived
on the premises became terribly enraged, and
let forth bray so loud, so long and so deep
that it echoed and re-echoed throughout the
surrounding country. Passion and jealousy
neryed him to the one supreme final and fatal
effort that cost his life. A blood vessel burst
and the blood flowed in a stream from his nos.
trils and mouth. The crimson tide could not
be stanched, and the unhappy animal lay
down and died. His place will be filled by the
new arrival. but the memory of that awful
bray will go down among the traditionsof the
Tenth district.

A Dangerous Counterfeit.

WASHINGTON. March S0--The Secret Ser
vice officers declare the counterfeit 81 silver
certificate a most dangerous one. The vignette
of Hancock is as fine as the original, and the
lettering and lathework is an exact copy of the
Treasury note In fact, the only difference is
too minute to be visible to the naked eye. In
the upper left hand and lower right hand
corner of the genuine note is a figure z, and on
its face is engraved IN characters so MINUTE
that they are not legible except under magni-
flying glass the word "two" repeated three
times.
In the counterfeit the word "two" is SINH
larly engraved the same number of times. but
in two cases the counterfsiter has made the
letters read ''owt" But, as intimated, this

Texas Penal Code Sustained.

WASHINGTON. March 80.-The Supreme
Court of the United States to-day refused to
grant the application for writ of habeas cor
pus in the somewhat celebrated murder case OF
Dick Duncan VS.. Mccall, Sheriff OF Bexar
county, in which it was sought to bring into
question the validity of the entire penal
code of the State OF Texas.
Duncan's contention was that the penal code
of Texas had never been lawfully enacted, in
accordance with the requirements Of the State
constitution. and that the code enrolled diff
fered, through errors of the enrolling clerks,
from the code passed by the State Legislature.
Had Duncan's contention been sustained 1t
would have resulted In the release OF all the
prisoners In the State and would have totally
upset the State criminal system.

The fiery comments of Congressman
Boutelle on the second and successful attempt
to pass ballot reform law in Maine amounts
to a remarkable confession. He declares 1t
was carried by coalition of a Republican
minority with the entire Democratic force, and
asserts that it is the severest blow which
Maine Republicanism has ever received. This
assertion that Maine Republicanism depends
for success on the ability OF workers to super
wise the ballots of the influenced voters will
reconcile the country at large to the idea of
having the Republican party oyerthrown in
Maine-if it can be overthrown by ballot re-
form.
