The Pioneer Press

has seen fit to snub itself in recent
issue. All right-snub your nose off,
and keep at it until only your cloven
hoofs are left. 1t published on the
first two columns a complete fac
smile, display type and all, OF the
first part OF the GREAT WEST report
of the Libel suit trial.
Then, in it's reply to our verdict on
the affair it declared that we misrepre-
sented, in that we claimed that the
jury decided as it did, (for Mr.. Don
nelly, but with a onedollar damage)
because it allowed that Mr.. Donnelly
first gave the infamous letter out to
be published. The PIP. denies this.
All we have to say is this: First, the
street reports CT the jurymen so
stated it. Second, the jury itself sent
out to the judge for instruction on
this very point!
Then again the Pioneer Press com
plains or whimpers because we did
not publish all the testimony verba-
tim! Well, 10. Wheelock edits the
largest daily paper in the northwest
and he did not publish the testi-
mony. He very emphatically garbled
what he did publish. We published
the testimony from the PIP. col
umns where it could be got in full,
but on Bill Kings CHATTER we knew it
was unfit, and gave our own com
pend.
Then Wheelock groans because we
did not publish Flandrau's gutter

you not publish Cy. WeIlington's adj

Two OF the jurors in the great Don
nelly libel suit against the Pioneer
Press voted nine times for $50, 600
damages. Three voted to give him
$4,000. Others voted for $4,000
and $4,000. Only one voted for one
dollar.
But this one was a working man
who persuaded the others that Mr.
Donnelly did not want damages-but

. North Carolina Holocaust.

MONROE, \. c., March 5.-FiIe was
discovered in the Monroe High School
early this morning. An alarm was at
once Sent in and the students of the
school were aroused as soon as possible,
bat it was too late to save the building
and two unfortunate young men, Thos.
L. Pemberton Of Little Rock, Ark, and
Albert Post OF Posts Mil, n. c.,
persisted in the lameS. At the first
alarm the young ladies who rooned on
the ground floor made their escape.
The young men roomed on the third
floor, and when the alarm reached them
all means OF escape were partially cut
Off and the building filled with smoke
and flames. Albert Post and \. G.
Rhode were in a room together. Al
bert awaked first, and discovering the
tire awoke Rhodes. In trying to escape
Albert started for the West entrance
which was in that part Of the building
where the fire originated. He was sui
focated by the smoke and overcome by
the heat and went down with the build
ing. Rhodes sought the East entrance
and managed to escape, after being
severely burned about the neck, head
and arms. Thomas Pemberton was not
seen at all and his remains were found
on the wire springs Of his bed, leading
to the belief that ne did not awake at
all. The head, arms and legs Of the
bodies wsre burned off, leaving a mass
OF charred nesh. The building was
completely destroyed together with the
school furniture, four pianos anl the
library. The origin Of the fire Is not
known. Loss $4,000.

An Alliance Trest.

TOPEKA, Kan, March "A new ALI
ance move completes the formation ofa
huge grain and live stock trust, includ,
ing Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and
Iowa. Frank McGrath, President of
the Farmers Alliance, Says that the
project is one of the results of the fail
ure of the Alliance to pass certain bills.
McGrath says ':that district Alliances
are being formed in every Congressional
district and provisions are being made
for building a cold storage and grain
depot. The new scheme is modelled in
detail after the whiskey trust. Of course,
you will say that our principles Will not
admit of that, but we have decided that
we must fight the devil with tire-that
is we must fight trusts and combina-
tions. While this scheme will reverse
matters by putting stockmen and grain
men at our mercy we do not think any
injury will result. The scheme looks
visionary, perhaps, but will surely be a

An Important Decision,

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 2S.-The
United States Court to-day decided the
suit of the Massachusetts and Southern
Construction Company cS. the Town
ship of Cane Creek, in Lancaster
County. A bill was brought to enforce
the delivery of $4,000 OF bonds of the
Township issued in aid of the Three Cs
Road. The refusal to issue the bonds
was based on the ground that the
amount was in excess of the s per cent.
Constitutional limit affixed to the in
debtedness of municipalities. 1t was
submitted in proof that S per cent. of
the assessed value Of the taxable prop
erty in the Township is Sl8,o1O or $3.50
less than the debt incurred. The Court
dismissed the suit on that ground. TAX
ing the valuation of 1888, the date OF
the Act of the Legislature creating
the debt. The Court rules that "the
Act having created debt obnoxious
in amount to the provisions OF the Con
stitution, the whole debt is invalid,
and it is not competent for the Court
to declare 50 much valid as comes
within the Constitutional provisions" !"
This throws out $4,000 of the bonds
issued in aid OF the Three C'S Road.

A Daring Diamond Robbery.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Feb. 2S.-A dia-
mond robbery OF unprecedented bold
ness is the sensation of Birmingham to-
night. Rosenthal's jeWelry store is on
the most prominent corner in the city,
on the main thofoughfare and where
numbers of street cars and dummy
lines centre. One front is composed of
two large plate glass windows, at least
ten feet square. Before one OF &hese
windows several trays of diamonds
were displayed. About I o'clock to-
night a man suddenly threw thirty
pound rock through the window, shat
tering the glass to fragments. Quick
as thought he dashed his hand through
the opening. picked up the tray Of. dia-
mOnds and dashed UP the street. By
ISLANDERS and passersby were numerous
and pursued him instantly. He turned
down tne first alley he came to, and in
the darkness and rain made good his
escape, though several shots were fired
at him. Four large diamonds and a
handful of pistol cartridges were
picked up in the alley where the robber
had dropped them. 1t is not known
what the loss is, but it amounts into
thousands. RoSenthal and one Gus
toner were in the store at the time.
The former made cash through the
broken window after the robber, but
cut an artery of bis wrist on the broken
glass. The daring highwayman was
white.

Southern Melon Fields

The South Georgia Melon Gro wers
Convention was held in Albany, Ga,
the 18th Of February. TIE object OF
the meeting was the consideration OF IN
creased acreage in melons this year, and
to provide methods for the prompt
handling and movement OF the crops.
Mitchell and Lee Counties, Georgia, will
increase their acreage by one-fourth over
last season. Thomas County will have
tw!ce the number OF acres. 1t IS thought
the entire crop of South Georgia will be
fully double that Of 1890. Georgia and
Alabama had 81 600 acres in melons last
wear. This season there will be at least
4O, 900 acres. South Carolina shows an
increase of nearly SO per cent, over her
5000 acres Of 1890. The Louisville ard
Nashville and the Cincinnati Rords car
ried $4,000 carloads ofmelons last year.
With 500 new fruit cars, they expect 20
double the record this year.

long and eloquent eulogy OF John

said that he regretted as a churchman
til the church of hundred years ago

the mighty enthusiasm which give mo-

It seemed, said the Archdeacon, shock

Anna Dickinson Insane.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 26.-Anna
Dickinson, the once favorite lecturer
and female abolitioDist, is now an in
mate of the Danville asylum. She was
taken to that institution last evening
by DR.. Hlleman, her family physician.
For six months it has been plain to
Miss Dickinson's friends that she was
losing her mind. At times she acted
very queer. Miss Dickinson is fifty
years OF age. She gave all her wealth
away to the puor. She bought property
for all the poor people for miles around.
At present she is the prosecutrlx IN a
suit in the New York courts against
Matt Quay for services rendered the
Republican party in the campaign OF
1883. The gifted lady has lived tor
years with her sister, Susan Z Dlckln-
son in West Pittston. For some time
he~ health has been IN precarlous con-
tion and she has been constantly under
the eyes of her physician, who treated
her for insomnia. This disease has
been undermining her vitality for some
time, and although she has been care
fully nursed hy her devoted sister no
im proYement was perceptlble.

Explosion of 4 Fly Wheel.

DASBURY, Conn, March 5.-The
breaking OF q governor belt on an en-
CINE iii Green 4 Fenton's hat factory
caused the engine to run away" about
6 o'clock this evening, and the increased
speed caused the three-ton fly wheel to
burst. The explosion was so terrific
that nearly every one in the building
was thrown down. Flying iron shatter-
ed the floor and roof for fifty feet, and a
piece weighing half a ton fell on the
factory of Davenpart and Eogal and
broke in twenty feet of the roof. Sev-
eral pieces went through the trimming
room, where sixty girls were at work,
and caused panic. Two girls leaped
out of the window, twenty-five feet from
the ground, and received serious inju-
no
