AUDRAIN SHOULD EXHIBIT.
Splendid Space Can Be Sc
cured at the st. Louis Ex-
position.

J. G. Trimble and r. M. White,
of this city, while in st. Louis
Thursday, called on Mr.. Frank
Gaiennie, of the st. Louis Exposi-
ton, in regard to Audrain making
an exhibit there this fall. Several
counties in Missouri are making ar
angements for splendid exhibitions
during the Exposition this fall ,and
we see no reason why Audrain
county should not take advantage
of this opportunity to advertise to
the world its products and its ad-
vantages. Mr.. Gaiennie took great
pleasure in explaining the various
advantages We would receive from
such an exhibit, and informed the
editor of this paper that Audrain
county could have free Of charge
in splendid location, space OF
15x20 feet. Galloway county and
other counties have already secur-
ed space and are preparing their
exhibits. There is every reason
why the business men OF Mexico
should make a commencement in
this matter at once. The en-
tire cost of a complete and credlta-
BILE exhibit would not be more than
from $500 to $500, including the
pay of a man to have charge OF the
exhibit. The advantages to be de-
rived from it are incalculable. We
trust that some of our business
men will take hold of this matter
at once.

Within the past eight weeks (sl we
have located college, land good one
tool roller process Touring mill, stave

S, 900 per week to start withl o plan
ing mill and another wood working
establishment.
Seven brick stores are in progress Of
erection on the public square, because
the trade of the town absolutely de-
mand them.
We still want q sash, door and blind
factory and there is not another such
place in America for one to succeed in.
Our splendid oak timber ought to en-
courage some enterprising person to
start a furniture factory. The market
is certain, for the South is developing
SO fast.
Many residences are being built,
everything prosperous, everybody busy.
Now is q good time to visit Lawrence
burg. You can see the crops on the
think of it, all this prosperity and we
have not been asked for one dollar of
bonds. The natural advantages Of
Lawrenceburg would make city of

THE HOUD0N STATUE.
THE GOVERNOR WILL NOT PERMIT A
CAST or IT TO BE TAKEN.
His Reasons for Declining-Thanks that
are Rather ture-CongressiOnal
Respportionment-Po

Yesterday the Governor received IN ap-
plication from Mrs. Justice Field, Mrs
Dixon, Of Rhode island; Mrs. King, of New
York, and Miss Matoaca Gay, Of Richmond,
for permission to have taken cast of the
Houdon statue of Washington IN the ro-
tunda of the Capitol. These ladies are a
committee of the Washingtop-Statue Asso-
ciation. and their object in trying toprocure
cast was TO have o statue made for presen-
tation 10 the French Government.
REFERRED TO THE LEoIsLATURE.
The Governor replied that upon consul
tation with prominent citizens of Rich
mond he found that taking a cast would
be dangerous and difficult operation and
that application for the privilege had been
made TO previous Governors and refused,
although it had been granted To HUBBARD
in 1853. He therefore referred the ladies
TO the General Assembly.
The petition was endorsed by Senators
Daniel and Barbour and Congressman
Lester, Buchanan, Edmunds, Tucker,
O'Ferrall, and Lee.
mRRPABABLE INJURY.
The Houdon statue Is the most valuable
piece of sculpture in this country, and
there Is good authority for stating that had
HUBBARD realized the danger 10 it involved
ia his taking cast he never would have
done so. Any injuryto it would be irrepa-
rable, fact that is one OF the strongest
arguments that can be used why the State
should erect fre-proof building as soon
as possible in which to place the library,
the archives, the Houdon statue, and the
State portraits.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
The Governor Yesterday received an
official copy Of the joint resolution passed
bv the Legislature of Illinois thanking the
other States for combining to make the
Chicago Exposition O success. AS yet Nir-
ginia has not Joined the combination, and
certainly, If it depends on any recommenda-
tion from Governor mckinney, will not,
if there is any danger of Congress passing
obnoxious election laws.
BRIEF NOTES.
Secretary-of-State Blaine has sent TO
Governor Mckinney certified copy Of
the act approved February 7th, making
the reapportionment for representatives.

SUGAR AND RECIPROCITY.
The Eject of the Treaty with Brazil or
Prices-COffees.

Under the reciprocity treaty with Brazil
all sugars under the Dutch standard, l6,
are admitted free.
In referring to the treaty yesterday Mr..
Isaac Davenport. Jr., senior member Of the
firm of Davenport d Morris, said it would
have the effect of putting all sugars down,
and that refined sugar was being bought
for Az cents for delivery in April. The
price Of these same sugars, duty on, Is 615
cents.
Mr.. Davenport did not think that the
treaty would have any material effect upon
cofTees, but spoke Of it as a good thing for
the country and for Virginia particularly.
He thought it would be of great benefit TO
the milling business. There is some
sense in such legislation, he said emphati-
cally.
The interview called to mind conver-
sation the reporter had with MIR. Daven-
port some two years ago 10 which Mr..
davenport remarked that the retail trade
of Richmond was largely dependent upon
the wheat crop. A good wheat year in the
neighborhood of Richmond, he observed,
means lively retail trade. It would seem
TO follow logically that the treaty bv stimu-
lating the milling interest and improving
the wheat market will be of great benefit
TO Richmond retailers.

THE wHIsKeV-TRusT SCANDAL.
An Examination of the Gibson Dewar
Paokage--The Tell-Taie fluid.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatoh.l


CHICAGO, February 1S,--It appears that
the face value of the whiskey trust certif-
Gates which Gibson had in his satchel was
$4,000, the market value of which is about
$4,000 which tallies with the amount that
DeWar SAYS Gibson promised him. Thi
morning Attorney William Barry, of coun-
sci for Gibson, appeared before Judge
Blodgett with District-Attorney Gilchrist
and asked permission 10 examine the pack
age said 10 have been delivered by Gibson
10 Dewar and supposed 10 contain the ex-
plosiye with which Shufeldt's distillery
was 90 have been blown up. Judge Blod-
gett gave the required authority, and
Messrs. Barry and Gilchrist, with Inspector
Summerville, Sergeant Brooks. Marshal
Hitchcock, and Captain Stuart, made an
investigation.
THE FLUID ALL II WAS THOUGHT TO NJ.
Tho package is about foot long, six
inches wide. and six inches thick, and was
carefully sealed. A pint-bottle tull of
lght-blueish fluid was discovered. It's
principal ingredient was phosphorus, and
1t proved rather troublesome from its ten
dency TO set fire TO everything il touched
and from the suffocating fumes IL raised.
Our purpose in making the examina-
ton" said Gilchrist was TO find out If
the fluid was the same that was in the bot
tie which Gibson gave TO DeWar, and such
it proved 20 be-" Mr.. Gilchrist said the
result Of the examination is TO fasten the
cham of evidence securely around Gibson
and make it possible to Indict him for at
tempted arson.
THE INTERNAL MACHINE.
The fact that anything was delivered to
De War besides the fluid has been denied
10y some. Attorney Gilchrist is authority
for the following: In the package deliv-
cred to DeWar by Gibson was a section of a
Cun-barrel charged with powder. Cn top
OF the powder was a steel prOjectile about
two inches long. This was placed in q tin
can, and around it WAS closely packed
Oakum and cotton. Through the oakum
and cotton ran fuse to the nipple of the
gun. The fluid was to be poured on the
fuse, which would ignite the oakum and
cotton.
Superintendent Tubbs. of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, held a short
conference with the District Attorney this
morning. 1t is believed that Uncle Sans
officers are endeavoring to secure GibsOn's
telegrams from that company, to be used
as evidence against the whiskey- trust men.
AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
All attempts to secure information as to
the work accomplished in conference be-
tween ChIef-Justice Melville Il. Fuller
Judge Blodgett. and United States Attor-
uey Glchrist which was held to-day were
met with suave smiles.
Inspector Stuart SAID tonight that during
trip TO Peoria list week he discovered
where the Gibson fluid was compounded
and obtained evidence as to who it was
that loaded the gun-barrel. The work was
done in Peoria 10y one and the same man
Gibson himself.
Captain Stuart obtained some of Glib
sons handwriting at Peoria and had it
compared with letters by an expert, who
urhestatingly declared that the tell-tale
penmanship was Glbson's.
