The Phosphate Exchange of Charleston,
is trust formed by the land miners OF
phosphate rock, which deserves tho attcn
tion of the administration. 1t has advanced
The price of phosphate fifty cents on the
ton, solely on account Of o brisk demand
for land phosphate since'thc closing of the
Coosaw works. This same trust says they
will make further advance at an early
tldy. This is a direct lax which the farm
ers of the State will have to pay. This
robbery is worse than the Coosaw monopoly.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. Another al

pendent has come to grief in this city.
Last night Foster Check. a pressman, and
Ben Thatcher. a saloon keeper, invited
Henry j. Dean to 20 buggy riding with
them. The trio drove about the city.

good time generally. Near the hour of
midnight, while in the neighborhood of
Exposition park, a lonely part of the
CITY, four masked men with drawn re-
%volvers, halted them. Dean was taken
from the buggy, blindfolded and hand
cuffed. transferred to a hack partly hidden
in a clump of trees, and then rapidly
driven to the country, a distance of four
miles. Dean made q desperate resistance
and demanded an explanation, but was
warned to keep quiet, by bianetop In
an ueighborhood he was

I CURED upon him. His head, face and
shoulders were also besmeared with the
stuff. The regulators then notified Dean
to leave the city inside OF twentv-four
hours or his life would be forfeited. Jump
ing into the coach the masked mel
drove away in the direction of the city,
leaving Dean to walk in.
The victim OF this outrage is charged
with being the correspondent Of the Kan

MES the charge. Dean alleges that Cheek
and Thatcher pu up a job on him and
betrayed him into the handle Of the regu-
lators. He admits that an envelope ad-
dressed to the Sun aud containing copy
was taken IRON his person by the kidnap-
ers. He failed to recognize the perpetra-
tors. No arrests have been made. Dean
says despite the warning he will remain

The Congregation was Mortified.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Rev. John
Bruce, a minister Of the Free Kirk at
STRICKEN, Scotland, has been adjudged
the father OF the child of a Mrs. Arthur.
after a trial which created intense interest.
The evidence In the case went to show
that the minister was 10 the nabit of
meeting Mrs. Arthur for evil purposes in
the vestry, and that on more than one
occasion the pulpit itself was the scene of
the ~Improprieties of the minister not long
after preaching a sermon from the SAME
pulpit in which he especially inveIghed
against immortality aud tie necessity Of
Christians wrestling with temptation. The
reverend gentleman earnestly pleaded
innocense, but the evidence was con
sidered overwhelming and he was ordered
to contribute weekly to the support of the
child. At a meeting OF the Kirk The
minister was severely denounced, the
congregation being Mortified at the
revelations.

The West Indies Want Reciprocity.

The West Indie Want RECIPROCITY.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Sir. Julian
Paunceiote and the representatives of the
British West Indian colonies have had
another conference at the department of
state with Mr.. Foster relative to the
negotiation OF a reciprocity agreement
under the terms of the tariff act 1t ap-
pears that there is more ground for con.
cession on the part OF the colonial repre-
sentatives than was at first apparent.
Figures rave been collected TO show that
while the United States takes more than
half the products Of the islands the
average rate of duty upon American
imports is nearly twice as large as that
paid by other countries. As the colonists
appear TO be willing to make such reduc-
tions In duties paid on United States pro
duets as will not discriminate against the
mother country, there is reason to believe
that success will crown their efforts to Sc
cure a reciprocity agreement with the
United States.

An ArrocIrv by Spanish Baud,t,.

MADRID. Dec. 5.-A frightful outrage
is reported from Vlllagorda. Some ban
dts who bad heard that the priest of the
parish was a well-to do man broke into
his house in the night. They tied the
only servant in the house securely on a
bed and seizing the priest told him, with
many threats, to point out where he kept
his wealth. The father, a thrifty man,
refused to tell, and adjured the bandits
not to incur the vengeance OF heaven by
Interfering with a servant Of the church.
The bandits were not moved by the APP
peal, but proceeded calmly to light the
ire. Then they applied the priests feet
to the flames until the victim shrieked
with agony. They told him they would
roast his feet off if he did not tell where
he had his money. The priest held out
until the skin began to burst and the
odor of burning flesh was sitting. The
priest, rather than lose his feet, which the
bandits said they would consume, to be
gradually followed by the rest of his body,
at last told them where all he had. AMOUNT
ing to about $50, was concealed. The
bandits took the money and departed. The
priest is in a precarious condition.
