A Man Abducts His Wife.

LONDON, Mar. 9.-An abduction under
the most sensational circumstances is
reported from Clitheroe % miles from
Manchester. Yesterday morning as Mrs.
+. jackson was leaving church in that
place a carriage drawn by foaming horses
and containing three men was rapidly
driven up and stopped near the lady
who was seized upon and forcibly con-
veyed inside the vehicle. The carriage
was then driven rapidly away with
friends of the lady in pursuit. The alb
Quoting party finally alighted before a
house in Blackburn and conducted
Mrs. Jackson inside of the dwelling.
They then proceeded to barricade the
doors and windows of the house and
strenuously refused admittance to the
pursuers who had followed them IN
another carriage. It has been learned
that the principal abductor and occu-
pant of the barricaded house in Black
burn is E H. Jackson who is the hus-
band of the abducted lady. Three years
ago Jackson privately married the lady,
then Miss Hall, and she is possessor Of
fortune of E27,OOO. After their
marriage Jackson went to Australia, re-
turned, however, early in 1889, but the
lady then absolutely refused to live
with him. jackson thereupon obtained
a high court order for the restitution
Of conjugal rights, Notwithstanding
which his wife steadily refused to live
with him, and he resorted to abduction.
After the abduction, crowds of people
surrounded Jackson's house, which they
threatened to storm, in the effort to
release Mrs. jackson, but the chief
constable warned them that in doing so
they would be guilty of breach of the
peace, while jackson himself, from a
window of the house, shouted defiance
at those outside, saying he had large
force ready to resist any attempts at
rescue. Both sides were on the alert
throughout last night and all to-day.
The police have succeeded in main
tanning order outside of the house.
Mrs. Jackson's solicitor has obtained
warrant against the abductors for
assaulting his clients sister at the
time of the abduction, but the abduc-
tors still remain barricaded within
the house, and cannot be arrested.
Crowds of people are still watching the

Il VaLUABLE VOTE.

A Man Brought Over 6,OOO Miles to Vote
at an Election.
CHICAGO, March 1O.-"What do you
think of bringing man over 5000 miles
to vote, and paying the entire expenses
of the journey?" asked Thomas Wilson
Of Bridgewater, N. S., to-day. "That is
what the Canadian Pacific railroad did
just previous to the last election. There
was precinct in Winnipeg that was
known to be doubtful, with the liberals
slightly in the lead. This man, whose
franchise was needed to influence others,
was in Honolulu, Hawaii. He consented
to return to Winnipeg to vote, providing
his expenses were paid. Someone was
out over e150 sterling for the trip"

A Man Who Was Sick Sleeps For
Eight Months.

Man Who Was Sick Sleeps For
Eight Months.
SPRINaPoRT, Mich, March 11.-Hi-
ram McConkey has been fast asleep for
eight months. Last July he lost the
power, of speech and was taken sick and
went to bed and has not spoken or
opened his eyes since. Saturday night
blood began to flow from his head and
ears and suddenly he came to
his senses. The doctors are dumbfounded
by the phenomenon and explain it by the
supposition that some blood became clot-
ted in his brain, which prevented it from
becoming active. He remembers nothing
since he went to sleep, but can recall
everything previous to that time. Dur
ing the eight months the functions of the
body remained quiescent.

Palmer's Election Conceded,

SPR1NaFIELD, Ills, March 1O.-There
appears no doubt tonight that the
democratic candidate, John M. Palmer,
will be elected to the United States
senate tomorrow. After a long talk
with General Palmer this afternoon,
Representatives Moore and Cockrell
issued lengthy address to their party,
the Farmers Mutual Benefit associa-
tion, setting forth the efforts they have
made to secure the election of the in
dependent candidate to the senate; their
efforts with the republican party, and
attempt to elect Streeter If. NJ B. AZ.
They say that the republicans have
secured from Streeter such concessions
and promises as would, if carried out,
entirely unfit him for conscientiously
representing the principles of the far
mers' party. Finding it alb
solutely impossible to elect the
independent, they have concluded
their next duty is to select a man who
while not representing the princi-
pies of their organization in full, is in
sympathy with many of their demands
and comedies the need of redress in leg
islation which has grown up under. the
rule of corporations and monop0lies.
The voice of the people of the state
should be respected in the choice. So
far as expressed in the last election it
was unquestionably for John M. Palmer.
Becoming satisfied that we could not
elect man who would fully represent
our people, we to-day called on Mr..
Palmer in the interest of our people to
ascertain what hopes he would
give us in regard to his
future official action affecting
such legislation as our people demand.
This interview, we must say, was satis-
factory even beyond our expectations.
Mr.. Palmer has earned our admiration in
his manly way Of conducting his fight
this winter in refusing to allow any cor
rupt influence to be used in his behalf.
While he does not fully represent us, be
has forced us to believe he is an honest
man. While this has been prolonged
contest, we feel the effect is good; tn at it
has forced the politicians to admit that
there is something wrong. We are
more firmly convinced than ever that
the future prosperity and happiness
of this country depends on the success
and growth of the independent party.
An independent political movement by
the toiling millions is the only hope Of
the people. In view of the facts above
stated, we will tomorrow cast our votes
for John M. Palmer and bring this pro-
loDged contest to Close" Representa-
tive Taubenrek, the other F.. M. B. A.
man, has repeatedly declared he would
never vote for Palmer.

More Revenue for North Dakota,

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10.-Senator Hans
brough to-day called the attention of
Secretary Noble to the odd sections
of the Northern Pacific land grant
east Of the Missouri river, and
asked for the settlement of the
titles. The secretary promised to act
as soon as the cases reach him from
the general land office. Hansbrough
then called on Commissioner Croft
and induced him to make these cases
special. Hence 1t is likely that the
settlers who have purchased from the
Northern Pacific will soon be able to
secure the titles to their lands, and
as soon as the titles are confirmed,
the state can levy and collect the taxes.
This will add about $4,000 per anuum
to the revenues of North Dakota.
MINISTER SMITH DEAD.
WASHINGTON, March 10. Secretary

BRAZILIAN PORTS OPEN.
WASHINGTON, March 1O-The Brazil
ian newspapers received contain the
decree by the president of Brazil de-
claring the ports of that country free
and open to imports from the United
States that we're included in the recent
reciprocity agreement, thus setting at
rest the rumors that has been current
and the assertions from various quar-
ters that the Brazilian government did
not recognize the validity of the
treaty.
BLACKBURN RESIGNS.
WASHINGTON, March Blackburn,
chief of the educational bureau in
the Indian Office, has rendered his
resignation. Congressman Pickler, of
South Dakota, is the only man outside the
office who is aware of the fact, and he
is already in the field as candidate
for the place. It is probably South
Dakota that will secure the prize.
Senator and Mrs Hansbrough will
leave Washing ton on Thursday for
Devils Lake. They expect to, spend
most of next summer on the Pacific
slope.

Floods in Mississippi,

P1oKENs, Miss, Mar. 9.-We have been
isolated since last Saturday when the last
train passed north. The continual rains
since Thursday night have raised the
water in the Big Black river higher than
ever known and it is still rising rapidly.
Bridges are gone and the communlca-
ton is cut off. The Illinois Central
railroad track is lifted broadly from it's
bed and deposited in ditch for miles
below and above here and the embank-
ment swept away. 1ncalculable
damage has been done by the water. A
cyclone passed over this place Saturday
morning without doing any damage,
dropping over in Madison county where
it caused great destruction of life and
property. Passing from here into Allan
ta county near Newport several houses
were blown down and four negroes were
killed. s5'$25 -

OUR UNIVERSITY.

The University of Arizona is already
eliciting wide and favorable comment
which is very gratifying to the people
OF our territory. The building being
now about completed, the chemical lab
orstory equipped and in working order,
supplied with gas and water; and every
thing will be ready for students at the
beginning of the first session, September
Both. This institution is intended to
meet every want of the citizens of Arr
xons without bsing compelled to send
youths abroad for educational purposes,
and we believe that under the present
able management it viii meet this ex-
pection, and Furthermore, that it will in
time attract students from other states
and territories. Our citizens throughout
the territory should become acquainted
wi:h..its course OF instruction and OBJ
tain such general information concern
Ing the university as will enable them
20 speak intelligently of it and a good
word for it it when necessary. Thus
will its patronage be speedily built Up
and Its fame and usefulness widely ex-
tended; and in due season it shall be.
come the pride and glory of the future

FIFTY years ago it was believed by
very many that as railways became more
universal the use aud value Of the
horse would become lessened. This
theory is demonstrated to be
erroneous. 1t is hard to conceive of a
state Of affairs in a country like ours
where a substitute for the horse could
be introduced, that would SO well an
swer mans needs, and in the light Of
practical experience, the horse raiser
can prosecute his business with as much
assurance if not more, as ever he could,
that there will be constant demand
for his production. Especially, is
this true of the better quality OF
horses. Higher prices are being
paid today for good roadsters than
was generally the case ten years ago
and there is no good reason why these
prices will not continue for an indefinite
period. Horse raising is certainly one
of the pleasantest occupations that can
be engaged in. Our territory offers an
attractive field for enterprise
in this direction. To say nothing OF the
healthful climate for horses, or the out
side ranges where the business may be
pursued without hindrance. and stock
raised at the minimum cost, the pasture
derived from alfalfa, the great forage
plant OF the future, is proven to be just
the thing required to insure the healthy
growth of the horse. What we most
desire 10 see is a more general apprecia
ton of the quality of horses we should
raise, While there will, doubtless, al
WAYS be more or less use for the bronco
breeds in a mountainous country like
Arizona where horseback riding must
naturally continue one of the most pop
ular modes Of travel, yet it is equally
true that prices for the same can never
be highly remunerative. 1t ia only the
better breeds that so far as practical, we
should raise. Good draft stock, as well
as roadsters, will never be drug on the
market. There may be seasons Of huc-
tuation in their appraised value like
every other commodity produced by
man, but the practical stteady-going
man, who has chosen this line, of bust
ness, breeding Systematically, can
60 straight ahead without borrowing
any trouble about disposing Of lis sur
plus production, or the probabilities of
his landing IN tie poor house.

HEAVY SUIT.

On June 18th, 1891, Messrs. Barnes &
Martin, as attorneys for Charles c.
Lewis, of London, England, fled COM
plant against the County Of Pima to
recover the sum of one hundred thous-
and dollars, being the amount claimed
as due for interest upon the County
Bonds issued to the Arizona Narrow
Guage Railroad Company. The trial of
the case is set for November 9th. 1.-THE
County loses the case it means not only
that it must pay one hundred thousand
dollars as interest on the bonds, but that
1t must pay the bonds themselves, am
ounting to one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars, and the interest that will
accrue to the time of maturity, amount
ing in all to about four hundred thous-
and dollars.
Again, if Mr.. Charles e. Lewis is sue
cessful in his suit, the Board Of Super
visors of Pima County would have to
levy a special tax to pay the hundred
thousand dollar Judgment.
AS the issuance Of these bonds was
illegal, the Board Of Supervisors should
resist their payment by all legal means
and should make hard and determined
fight in the courts. Eminent and able
counsel should be employed to assist the
District Attorney, as he has other duties
to perform, and cannot devote his en-
tire time to the case. Certainly the
responsibility of case of such msgni
| tude should not rest Cd one man.

THE state department has been off,
eislly notified that Denmark, which
followed Germany in excluding Ameri-
can pork, has followed the Same example
IN removing restrictions upon its impor-
tation, and is now prepared to admit all
that may be shipped there accompanied
by the United States certificate Of in
spection. Secretary Rusk is not doing
much talking about his triumphs, but
bis friends are shouting as they have a
right to do, for to him more than any
other one man is due the credit for the
mest inspection law, without which the
restrictions upon the importation of
American pork would not have been re-
moved by Germany or by Denmark
The secretary is hopeful that France
will follow suit and remove the restric-
tious upon the importation before the
close OF the year.
