A CUSTOM HOUSE FOR THIS DIS
TRIOT.

The Secretary Of the Treasury j
doubtless sufficiently acquainted
with the merits of the towns of tn,
Missi sippi Sound Coast to choose
the most suitable one wherein t.
establish a Custom.hou.e Tor thi,
district.
Ar important step of the kind
is not likely to be taken hy the
Government upon simply the IN.
ierested solicitations of either
Biloxi or Scranton, and only after
a thorough investigation has been
officially made of the necessity OF
a change from its present station,
and of the combined Importance,
public and private, by which a Sc
lection will benefit the interests
involved, will the proper place re-
ceive its due.
The lumber trade of this coast
being the present item in impor-
lance which calls for a Custom
house for the accommodation of so
large an industry, and Scranton,
on The East Pascagoula river, only
a short distance from its mouth,
with one of the finest railroads in
the country running through her
centre, is the town in which it
should be established. She is
amply capable of handling the
in supplying the shipping
every requisite that belongs
10 navigation. She has ship yards
and ship chandlery stores, and
shipping masters for crews, and
,an, without delay, have ship
for further accommodation
IS soon as a Custom. house is open
I'd within her limits. The river
affords waterway by which a
majority of the many vessels en-
gagged in the lumber trade can
reach the sawmills, and by which
hose of too heavy draft for the
channel can have their ar
goes lightered in barges out to
1eep water or to the anchorage
grounds behind the islands. The
abroad facilitates the movements
If all engaged in the business.
We opine that the claims of Bi-
oxi to the honor OF having the
Juslom-house will come in as a
.econdary consideration when
compared to those of Scranton.
We agree with the Biloxi Herald
hat 'it is a matter of much impor-
ance and should have immediate
.ttention."

MAY END IN MURDER,

A Stabbing AHray in n Union Street - Saloon Which May Result Fatally
 A Quarrel over n Game of Dice
 Leads to Probable Murder-The
 Victims Condition Precarfous.
 Shortly after o'clock last evening John Smith, saloon keeper at A Union street, stabbed John Taylor with carving knife in the region of the heart and inflicted a wound which may result fatally. Smith and Taylor were engaged in shaking dice for drinks and Taylor won. When Tay- Tor asked for his drink Smith refused to give it to him, stating that Taylor owed him a quarter. This incensed Taylor and angry words followed, which finally cul- minated in Taylor's skipping Smith on the face. Smith then picked up large carv- ing knife, which was upon the lunch coun- ter near by, and stabbed Taylor in the left breast, making wound three inches in depth. Taylor staggered out of the sa- loon and up Union street almost to Chapel, where he fell in consequence of loss of blood. The police ambulance was summoned and he was taken to the hos pital. Smith was later arrested at his saloon by Off cers Allen and Collett and taken to headquarters where he was locked up on charge of assault with attempt to kill. Bail was refused by Sergeant Cook, acting under instructions, as Taylor's wounds are considered dangerous.
 The knife with which the crime was committed is an ordinary carving knife eight inches in length, having a very sharp point and was found in the saloon by Officer Collett.
 At an early hour this morning advices from the hospital were to the effect that Taylor was in precarious condition.

NEWS FROM CHILL.

All Pillagers and Robbers to be Arr
 rested-Balmaceda Still in Hiding.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-The Herald Valparaiso dispatch this morning says the provisional government issued orders on Saturday for the arrest of all pillagers, robbers and slayers of Congressional sym pathizers. The murderers of Isador Ossa, Cummings and the forty-two students slain on August IS will be especially sought after.
 In an interview with two of Balmaceda's officers now in prison it was learned that Generals Barbosa and Alserrace were ut terly incapable officers. They f1agrantly disobeyed Balmaceda's orders, thus causing the overthrow of his government. His explicit instructions to them were that they were not to engage the junta's troops with less than IA, ,000 men, but that they should draw the enemy inland. General Barbosa so utterly despised his adversa- ries that he acted exactly to the contrary of these orders. The result was his disas- trous defeat.
 The murder of ex-Minister Aldunate on September 2 is deeply deplored by the new government. Aldunate was travelling toward Santiago under escort of govern ment troops who murdered him and took $50, ,000 which he had in his possession. The body was terribly mutilated. No trace of Balmaceda has so far been found. Ad- vices from Buenos Ayres says he has not yet reached that city. The opinion is gen. eral that he is in hiding here in Chili.

TWO THOUSAND LIVES LOST. Terrible Effects of the Floods fin
 Spain.

MADRID, Sept. 14.-Offcial information has been received here from the scene of the terrible floods now devastating the province of Toledo.
 According to this two thousand persons have already perished and an immense amount of damage has been done by the swollen waters.
 At present it is utterly impossible to send assistance to the survivors, as all road and railway communication with the scene of the disaster has been cut off.
 The floods threw a train from the track near Castillejo and one person was killed and three were injured. A house collapsed in Toledo and six persons were crushed to death.
 Official telegrams report that fifteen hundred persons perished in the destruc- ton of Consuegra by the overflow of the Amarguillo. Hundreds of others were in jured by falling buildings and enormous numbers of cattle perished. At other places many persons were drowned and much property damaged.

The Slate Which Will Probably be
 Presented to the Democratic State
 Convention.
 SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept. 1.-The slate now said to be fixed up for presentation to the democratic state convention is az follows:
 For Governor-R. P. Flower of Jeffer- son.
 For Lieutenant Governor-W. F. Shee- han of Buffalo.
 For Secretary of State-Frank Rice of Ontario.
 For State Treasurer-Eliot Danforth of Chenango.
 For Attorney General-S. W. Rosendale of Albany.
 For Comptroller-Frank Campbell of Bath, Steuben county.
 For State Engineer-Martin Sohenck of Bath-on-H Hudson.
 GATHERING OF THE UNFINISHED.
 SARATOGA, Sept. 1.-The delegates to the democratic state convention tomorrow are nearly all here. The task before the convention in the matter of contesting del egations is no light one. From sixteen counties come two sets of delegates each claiming to be duly appointed representa- tlves of their respective localities. The double delegations are the result of the contest throughout the state between Hill and Cleveland men. The committee on credentials will have to decide their claims
 All manner of stories of threatened bolting under certain circumstances are afoat, but they are too numerous and too silly to find credence. The Kings county delegation, thirty-six strong, are to 8 man in favor of Alfred T. Chapin for governor; but "Boss'' Mclaughlin, who heads the delegation, in answer to a ques- tion as to any bolt under any circum- stances, vehemently said: ''The Kings county democracy never bolts the regular ticket" The Tammany hall delegation claims the admission to the convention of themselves only from New York city. The county democracy demand half of | the delegates, thirty six, as in former years. The state committee is in session at one of the hotels at 8 late hour | tonight and this and other knotty prob | lems are under discussion. Probably more | trouble will be experienced with the Erie l county contingent than any other. The quarrel between Sheehan, who is likely to get the nomination for lieutenant governor | and MT. Scheu is bitter one Some of the contesting delegates from that county, it is said, seriously thought of calling out the Cleveland democracy from the conven- ton and holding another, thus bringing the forces of Hill and Cleveland face to face. This, of course is improbable, but is given to show the depth of the factional feeling.
 At midnight Hill seems to be out of the race and there are no changes in the slate already sent.
 10:45 P. M.-The state committee, by vote of "A to 8, decided not to admit a rep resentation from the county democracy il the convention.
 The state committee also agreed to cal George Raines of Rochester to the tempo rary chairmanship of the convention.
