lu addition to the above the charges
on less than carloads forwarded from
this station will doubtless amount to
$4,000 or $4,000 for the year. We
have therefore

Cash from small lots test i............. 1000 90
A total Of about $500 TO represent
the earnings of this railway station
during the year 1890. This is exclu-
sive Of the tourists who visit the
HALEY Hot Springs, and who gener.
ally travel on round trip tickets.
This showing is not quite as impos-
Ing as former ones; for there was a
time when the earnings of the Wood
River Branch Railway alone exceeded
$4,000 per month. At that time
HALEY was worth fully $4,000 to
the company. But it is quite
large enough, IN the present condition
of this region, to cause our read. IS to
wonder "whrre all this money comes
FROM" and to explain the scarcity Of
cash in town.

The Situation in the Coke Regions
Threatening in Consequence.
SCoTTDALE, PA, April H.-The exodus
of the state troops, coupled with the large
consignment of relief money, has braced
the backbone of the IA, 900 strikers still out,
and the labor headquarters are radiant
tonight as compared with the deep
gloom Of a few days past. AS

in squads bitter epithets were hurled after
them. Capt Lauer was especially an object
OF ridicule. Two companies. however, were
left at Morew ood, where they are to remain.
The operators are growing nervous, and
bave doubled the guards at several points.
The Frick company has shipped ITO cars to-
day, and other shipments run the total up to
1876. Several hundred eviction notices were
served to-day and a dozen tame eyictions
occurred. Deputies are gathering at Trotter
and will force the evictions at that place,
where they met with such determined opDo-
sltion yesterday. Small-sized riots are now
of nightly occurrence, generally led by
women, who inflict no great damage.

LONDON, April 1.-THE lobby report as

Decobain with the scandals that will re-
quire their retirement from the House OF
Commons. The social purity vigilantes, to
whose private shadowlng are due the
charges against Capt Nernev and tho
flight of Mr.. Decobain, have been
hunting down other members suspected
OF being unfaithful TO their wives The
evidence so obtained has been sent in several
instances TO the wives most concerned.
Some of the wives have resented the action
OF the vigilantes and joined in the demand
for an apology; while in other cases the re.

Over 40 Per Cent. OF the Electors

BERLIN, April 17.--The latest returns
from Geestemunde are; Prince Bismarck
1857, Schmalfiold, socialist, 1928; Platt,
Guelph, 3,343; Adelof, Freissnnige, 2.6l9.
A second ballot will be necessary between
Prince Bismarck and Schnalheld, as a ma
jority OF the votes is necessary in order to
entltle a candidate to election. The apathy
Of the electors is the most remarkable feat
ure OF the contest. Over 40 per cent, of ths
electors did not appear at the polls. The
nationalists at the last election polled
sufficient number Of votes TO swamp all
rivals, but now they only muster a bare
one-fourth of the electors. One reason for
this apathy was chat Prince Bismarck did
not take any part in the contest. He did
not even issue an address to the electors.
BISMARCK MAY BE BEATEN.
BERLIN, April II, II p. M.-The final re-
turns from Geestemunde show that there
is remote chance OF Prince Bismarck te-
log defeated for the Reichs.ag on o
necessary second ballot lie still gives
no sign OF retiring from the con-
test. This element Of danger will
probably stimulate the national liberals TO
poll heavier vote in order to secure Prince
Bismarck's triumph. Emperor William is
somewhat anxious and is consulting Chan
eellor Won Capriyi, Count voA Moltke and
other experienced men about the situation.

MACHEA WASA BOLIVIAN
HE WAS CONSUL OF HIS COUNTRY
WIEN LYNCHEO.

A Belief That His Government Will
Not = SIX for Any Explanation or In
demnity - Italian Newspapers Dis
satisfied With The Last Reply Of
Secretary Blaine.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE state de-
partment has received no complaint from
the government Of Bolivia respecting the
lynching of Joseph E. Mschea, the head Of
the Matis In New Orleans, who turns out to
have been the Bolivian consul at New Or
leans. Bolivia has no diplomatic represen-
tstiye here, but as the consul general here has
had time TO hear from the home government
since the New Orleans affair occurred it is
believed at the state department that Bo-
livia, considering the character Of her late
consul, and that he was killed for promoting
assassination, will not AJAX for any explana-
tion or indemnity.
RoME's NEWSPAPERS DON'T LIKE 1T.
ROME, April 1.-THE MeSsagero to-day
says that Secretary Blaine's reply to Pre-
mier RudiIis last note evinces the great
desire of Secretary Blaine to elude the de-
mands OF the Italian government, to escape
from indemnifying the families of the men
lynched at New Orleans, and to refrain
from acceding to the Italian governments
right TO intervene in the New Orleans Rf-
fair.
The Fopolo Romano says, in view Of the
tenor of Secretary Blaine's answer to Pre-
mier Rudini's, 1t is difficult to form any
idea of when the matter will be settled.
THE FULL REPLY RECEIVED.
The reply of Secretary Blaine to the
Marquis di Rudini's last poto on the sub
Ject of the New Orleans affair is the only
important subject of conversation and
newspaper comment throughout Italy. The
full text of the reply reached this city to-
day, and Premier Rudini, Minister Porter
and other persons holding positions which
would enable them to express valuable
opinions upon the New Orleans dispute
were besieged with interviews. The sub
stance of opinion is that the controversy Is
in course Of adjustment.
1t is officially denied that there is any
truth in the report sent from Rome to the
Daily Chronicle of London, that United
States Minister Porter is upon the point of
departing from Rome on a three months
leave Of absence.
A MURDEROUs RACE.

LONDON, April 17.-Referring to the New
Orleans lynchiDg many papers discuss the
question why Ine lIalldu murder returns
exceed those Of any other nation on earth
The st. James Gazette, quoting
Bosco's statistics on homicide, shows
that the Italians are eight times
more murderous than other Europeans
that in Italy ten persons are
tried for murder every day, and eight are
convicted, while host of homicides are
never recorded. The italian at home, it
says, is worse than the Italian abroad. The
conclusion is that the Italian has murder in
his blood, aud that the racial excitability is
heightened by the warm climate and ma
tional habit of the use of the knife.

plundered the railway treasury chest
OF about 1900 rupees. The local au-
thoribies summoned a large number OF

present at least. Strong reinforcements of

A SCARE IN MoRTON's HOTEL.

The Fire-proOf Landings OF Five
Floors Collapse.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Without warn
ing or notice large part of the heavy fire.
proof landings connected with the stairways
Of the Shoreham Vice President Morton's
fine new hotel, dropped this afternoon from
the fifth floor to the basement. Great cou-
sternation WAS created among the people
in the house, but by good fortune no one
was upon the landiugs at the time of the
accident and no person was hurt. Work
men were jacking up a misplaced glrder
that formed part of the support Of the sixth
foor The jack rested on the stair hallway
of the fifth floor, and that was too weak to
bear the extra strain, and a mass of tlling,
concrete and timber dropped on the floor
below, carrying it to the next and SO on
until the ground was reached.
COSTLY BUT BADLY BUILT.
Last night Vice President Morton was
happy as the guest of honor at the British
minister's dinner. Tonight he is sorrowful
as he thinks OF the great hole he saw In five
stories of his hotel this evening. He has
spent nearly 1000, 900 on this structure,
and has,oeen rewarded with fair return on
his money, but he saw tonight that unless
be could explain the great break of floor
after floor from the sixth-story downward it
would prove an Improbable investment 1t
will be remembered that the Vice President
had trouble with the hotel when he opened
it on account Of the barroom,
but having compromised by calling
the barroom a "grill room" and serving
drinks at tables instead of over the counter
this trouble passed away. His present. pre-
dicament is a much more serious one. The
fall of the tower of the Church of the
Covenant two years ago and the fact that a
new business building has just been declared
unsafe, with the accident in the Vice
Presidents hotel, makes people think that
there is some laxity in the Office of the in
spector of buildings. An investigation will
probably result.

Fine weather.
 Cat harvest is now upon us.
 Corn is being laid by.
 Measles are getting pretty well scattered.
 Crops are not really needing rain, but most of farmers are beginning to get uneasy.
 Members of the Masonic fraterni- ty and citizens of Laneburg and vii cinity inform me that the talked of dinner at Laneburg on the 24th of this month, is extremely doubtful at present.
 The most profound and heartfelt sympathy of the writer is extended to the editor of PIcAYuNE, sister and aged mother, in their sore bereave- ment, in the death of father and hus- band. My acquaintance with father Gardner, though somewhat limited, was pleasant. I had learned to love him as a fatherly and kind friend, and with other friends, greatly de- plore his death.
 Dr. Wren and wife went up to Little Rock to hear Sam Jones preach on Thursday of last week, re- turning on Saturday. They attended four services and heard the noted evangelist preach three sermons. A Rev. MT. Stewart from Tennessee, preached at the other service. Dr. w. says that sam Jones is good one and is worth hearing, and that he wishes everybody in Nevada county could hear him.
 will take the occasion now to thank my friends, the editor of the PIcAYrNE and II. C. B., of Honea- vile, for their complimentary sug- gestions with regard to nominating ye scribe for Representative. Thank you, friends, for your kind interest, which feel to be uumerited on my part. l am altogether incapacilated to fill such a position. While feel no uneasiness about ever getting the nomination for such an office, l will say now, once for all, that l would not accept it under any considera- tion. 1 am a Democrat and try to be honest and truthful, but no candi- date for office Coop LUCK.
