evening while a party of young people

ODESSA, April 28.-Eight hundred
Jewish families have been ordered to
quit Keiff forthwith. The well-to-do
have alreadylgone, but the poorer classes
are in the greatest straits. Many are
arriving on the Austrian frontier in a
destitute condition, but the Austrian
officials refuse dolnicie to paupers.
The Keiff police accept no excuse, raid
ing the city with the utmost severity
unless bribed to delay action. The
daily expulslons from Moscow number
from 100 to 15O. On Sunday an excep.
tional raid was made when 600 were
expelled. The rigor Of the authorities
frightens away many entitled to per-
manent residence. The effect is felt
even in this city, which is a great cen
tire for Jews with permits to engage in
business. The emigration of Jews from
this city has quadrupled. Permits
guaranteed by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Minister of Finance and Min.
lister Of the Interior, any one of whom
has power to q uash their tenure, are
considered of precarious value, and the
principals of large Jewish firms are
placing their business in the hands of
Russian agents aud are themselves de-
parting.

SAVANNAH, GA, April 25.--It now

wife murder, Albert Grant, alias Morea,
alias Kitchen. has put three wives in
their graves instead of two. In ad6i.

here, he pounded one over the head
with an iron kettle in house, also in
this city, early in 1889, and injured her
so badly that she died in q couple of

The statement of DIR. Corbett is very
brief, touching only on the subject Of

that whenever there have been IN

DIR. Thompson makes the reply for
the recent case of suicide. He says:
AS far as / can judge the only COM
plant which might reflect on me is
that the attendants were not instruct

suicidal tendency of the mind OF the
patient who recently killed herself.
She was admitted on the 24th of .Tanu-
airy, 1891, and was then too feeble to at.
tempt to commit suicide. Hence we
did not instruct the attendants as to
the matter. She was Immediately put

The Farmers in Virginia.


RICHMOND, Va, April 3O.-The leg
islative campaign in Virginia this year
promises TO be unusually interesting. 1t
is not probable that the Republicans will
make any fight. The contest will be
chiefly confined to the Farmers Alliance
That element demands important lcgis-
lation at the hands of the General As
sembly, whose members are to be chosen
this year.
Foremost among these demands is
that for o law creating railway COM
mission, with authority to regulate
charges and prevent discrimination in
rates. The farmers. too, believe that
the salaries of State officials might be
reduced, criminal charges cut down,
more liberal appropriations made for the
State department OF agriculture, and
numerous other benefits bestowed upon
that class. These issues will be form
ulated by the Alliance State Conven-
tion, which meets here in August. The
leaders say that these are to be so clear
ly and sharply defined that candidates
for the Legislature cannot cvade them.
The Democrats will not call Convcn-
ton. The State committe of that party
will meet soon to discuss the campaign,
but no Convention, !; is understood, will
be called. The Alliances claim q men,
bcrship OF something like 10000 in this
State, and, if anything like unanimous,
can easily control legislation. The idea
OF the leaders is not to have any third
party, but TO make their demands with
in the ranks of the Democrats. If they
do this they can, they think, easily ell
feet their purDOses
The Republican League of the State
will meet here April 20 to elect delegates
to the National Convention of Leagues,
which is to be held in Cincinnati. This
organization has not ilourished in this
State. John S. Wise was among those
who started in with it, but his ardor soon
cooled of, and bit little interest has been
taken in it since. Some little life seems
to be infused into the League now, be-
cause its leaders think it may be q factor
in controlling the delegates from this
State to the National Republican Con-
ventlon. AS Malone does not hold a
membe rship in the body it is difficult to
see how this can be achieved. 1t is not
given out who Malone prefers for the
Presidential nominee, but as he is press
ing candidates upon Harrison it is sup
posed that he will favor that candidates

Three gay young men were slowly creeping

night had been a gay one-the corks had
popped and the cigars had gone around Law
ishly. But at daybreak the effects of the ex-
hiarating wine had departed and the roister
ers were as thirsty as lime-burners. The con
viviality had hit their purses hard, and each
declared himself broke. Suddenly one de-
clared that there was still chance-he had
counterfeit quarter. Desperation drove them
to crime, and all three entered saloon that
hadiust opened its doors. Three of the largest
sized ''beers" were demanded and drank
with ayidity. The counterfeit coin was laid
on the counter amid general trembling lest it
should be taken up and examined. Asthe old
man who kept the place swept it into the cash
drawer sigh of relief went up. The criminal
that had owned the base coin grabbed the
dime that was laid down in return and the
three conspirators hastened out When they
got around the corner hearty laugh went up,
and the man who had the dime took few
gleeful steps as he waved his hand and MUIR

Our own Wimodaughsis is in a sad condition
Of divided opinion. and as usual on occasions in
which only the gentler sex are interested, the
opinion and the division are each very pro-
nOuneed. The question is on the admission of
eolored women, which at social events means
their fathers and husbands and brothers and
sweethearts, just at it does with the white
women, and there is a decided objection, es-
peeisly on the part Of the southern contingent
Of membership to this visible admixture of
the races. So far the fight has not extended
beyond the board Of directors, and thus far the
majority is in favor of the admission Of colored
women, and terrific row Is imminent. How
ever. the wimodaughsis is pioneer in its way
and II this disturbance results in the estab-
hshment Of the social equality of the races,
and as a sequence the solution and settlement
Of the vexed race problem. the mission of the
Wimodaughsis may be said to have been full
filed even beyond the expectations Of the most
radical As it now stands Wimodaughsis is the
only club in the United States which admits on
q social equality white persons and colored
persons. and in that respect ii is an anomaly
which public sentiment may or may not in
time consider to be altogether anomalous.

II seems that the Engineering Ne,cs suggested

In the fact that a white light seen through

still less obscurity. As remedies the Engineer
ing Ns.cs proposes the use of white, rot yellow
lights for safety, the use Of more powerful
lights, electric arc lights preferably for sig
mailing automatic torpedoes or other approved
automatic devices for putting on brakes instead
of gong. and finally the leaving Of the tunnel
in darkness except for the signal lights. Mr..
Depew gave a bond for his appearance at the

this jury for taking the initiative in placing
upon the authorities proper responsibility for
the carrying out Of necessary precautions for
the safety Of Passengers and employees on rail-
ways. Whether in this tunnel collision it was
possible 10 have avoided the catastrophe will
probably appear further along. The trial may
