Wednesday morning intelligence was
received of the death of ADDISON Barber,

ton of his assistant, who found him
grasping the wheel of his wagon for sup
port. He fell before he could be helped,
but life was extinct upon reaching him.

ORIGINAL PACKAGES AND THE U. s.
SUPREME COURT.

II will be remembered that the SUI
preme Court gave a decision short
time since that afforded great comfort to
the LIQUOR men all over the country.
Prohibition and license were both
crushed at one blow and free rum" was
TO have full sway. The country however
did not look on the 'Original package
decision" in that light, but regarded 1t
ms a blow to State rights that was entire
Nv unwarrantable. Local self-govern-
ment was attacked by the Supreme
Court. one of the foremost principles OF
our Government was undermined and
every body was alarmed. True, three OF
the justices had dissented and had sus-
tanned the old fashioned do trines ON
which the government was founded.
The BANNER by one of its corresponds
ents. &C. Nj. B." took this view in its
very first issue after the decision. Con-
gress took the same view, as ana the
country generally, and law was passed
to rectify the effects of the decision OIL
the court. That law has just come be-
fore the court for its construction. IL Is
held by the Court to be consututlOha
and is therefore the law OF the land'
Moreover, the court holds that its former
decision ulu not dl6CJ INC SOhOlui
bition and license law of states that haC
them, so that there was really no need
for our last legislature to re-enact all OF
our prohibitory legislation as it did last
fall, as precautionary measure. III wa
safe, though, to do so and consequently
we'll.
In its recent decision on the constitu
tionality of the late law of Congress, th'
Supreme Court is unanimous. The
opinion is given by Chief Justice Fuller
though three of the justices dissent from
some of the reasoning of the cour
though acquiescing in its conclusions
OF this conclusion the Boston JoWhd
says:
1.-THE decision of the Supreme Cour
unfolding the legality of the Origina
Package law and also of existing TEN
perance legislation is hard blow to thu
liquor dealers and also to the Democrat
ic politicians, who hoped to profit by thu
confusion that an opposite decision
would cause in the Western States"

Battle Between Egyptians and
DerViShes at TOkar.
The Former Victorious After a
Hard Fight.

Sands of the sOudan Run with Blood-The
Old Government Building at Tokar
the Scene Of the Slaughter--Charge OF
the Egyptians With Fixed Bayonets.
Flight of Osman Digna.
AFAFITE, Egypt, Feb GA severe
engagement was fought at Tokar on
Feb, 10 between the Egyption troops
who recently left FL Teb and Osman
Digna's forces. Nearly 1900 lives were
lost in the battle which followed the ap-
pearance of the Egyptians at Tokar.
The Egyptians made their advance
from Afafite during the early dawn of
the morning of Thursday last. The
enemy was sighted near Tokar and after
an exchange of shots between the skir-
mishers of the enemy and the advance
guard of the Egyptians, the latter
pushed forward through the brush
wood surrounding Tokar and its
neighborhood, in order to seize the
old government building, now lit
tie more than a tumble-down ruin,
but which fo.m stragetic point
where force of infantry could hold out
against heavy odds, The dervishes,
seeing the object Of the Egyptian ad-
vance i'll that direction, made rush for
the building and surrounded it by a
compact mass Of rihemen, who poured a
hot fire into the ranks of the advancing
Egyptians The latter, however, were
not to he checked in their advance, re-
turning the Arab3' fire as they adj
vanced.
Charged with Fixed Bayonets.
The Egyptians fixed bayonets when
within cay distance of the enemy and
bravely charged upon the defenders of
the old ruins For over an hour des-
Ie"ate hand to hand, tayonet to spear,
and sword fight followed during which
the Egyptian troops fought with the
most determined bravery.
Fina ly the Egyptian cavalry made a
brilliant charge upon the delvishes who
retired in disorder, suffering a crushing
defeat. The dervishes numbered at
least 1900 fighting men, About an
e 4ual force Of Egyptrons succeeded in
reaching the shelter OF the building be-
fore the Arabs surrounded them for the
attack.
After the retreat of the dervishes the
troops found over 700 dead around the
position mentioned, while large mum
her5 of dead were lying in the bushes
around the buildings. Nearly every
elnir of importance who was present at
IN LATHE fell upon the field, The loss
Of the Egyptians is placed at over 1000
Snan bigna Flees.
Osman Digna did not take part in the
fight but watched lis progress from a
! ONT Of vantage near Afafte. After
stating that that his faithful followers
had suffered disa -trous defeat Osman
Digna, accompanied by about thirty
horsemen, fled toward Temriif.

THE JOURNEY WESTWARD.
Many Pathetic Scenes Enacted All Along
the Route

the Route.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23--The Journey of
the Sherman funeral train from Pitts
burg to this city was without incident
worthy of mention except the demon
stratons Of sorrow and respect at the
various towns and cities along the route.
The only stop Of any length made in
Ohio was ut Columbus, where the train
remained almost an hour. 1t is esti-
mated that crowd of 10000 people were
gathered in the vicinity of the depot
Demonstrations were made at many
other towns in Ohio whether the train
stopped or not At Columbus the fu-
neral party was joined by William Nc
comb, George Ewing, Judge and Mrs. E.
b. Ewing and Miss Ewing.
AT Richmond, Ind, Governor Hovey
met the remains and escorted them to
Indianapolis. Indianapolis was reached
at TO- Bells We're tolled, salutes fired
and thouzands of people We're at the
depot notwithstanding the pouring
rain. There were outpourings of people
at all the stations in Indiana through
which the train passed.
AS the run through Illinois was made
during the night, but few demonstra-
tions Of any note were made, although
at numerous stations We're delegations of
Grand Army veterans.
Just before the train arrived at East
st. ] ouis Mr. and Mrs. Thackara, Miss
Rachel Sherman and p T. Sherman
went forward to the combination car
and discussed with Mai. Randolph some
of the arrangements for the procession.
The arrangement of the pail on the horse
to be led behind the catafalque had been
under discussion Friday, as the family
were anxious that the generals saddle
should not be concealed from view. 1t
was determined finally that no pail
would be placed on the horse.
