HYMEN'S PEACE.
The Wedding Ring Puts Quietug ON q
Famous Feud.

WHEELING, w. Va. March 23.-In q
letter to the editor of the Wayne Neaos,
by Capt. Anse Hatfield, Devil Ansel he
says general amnesty has been declared
in the famous Hatfield Mccoy feud, that
the war spirit in him has abated, and he
rejoices at the prospects of peace. This
letter will serve to quell all the disturb
ance as far as the Hatfield side Is con-
cerned, and it is thought that like
letter has been published in Kentucky.
This state of affairs is the result of the
marriage of one of the Hatields to Miss
Mccoy, and truce and peace congress
held shortly after. The feud has been
in existence since 1878, and there have
been no less than 100 deaths among the
participants.

incomes taxed win 8 vengeance.

RALEIGH, March 23.There Ia great
surprise and indignation to-day at the
discovery that the reveue bill as passed
by the recent legislature has imposed o
tax on oil incomes. Heretofore all in
comes not exceeding 81, 900 were exempt
from taxation, but under the new law
incomes from whatever source derived,
and however small, must be taxed. 1t Is
very evident that laboring people will
not stand any such legislation, and II
may be necessary to call an extra session

tice done An amendment to the bill

Purposes.
CHICAGO. March 28.-An afternoon
paper says: His Holiness Pope Leo
XIII is out with an apostolic benediction
upon the worlds fair and the plan to
erect beautiful stone monument In
honor of Christopher Columbus at Buenos
Ayres. He says:
1t is proper as we'll as useful to render
homage to men who have merited so well
of Christian faith and human society.
Columbus, in accomplishing by mis- genius
and perseverance such great deeds, has
been the fountain in both hemispheres of
SO great influence upon mankind that few
men can be compared with him. Hoping
that the honors rendered him will serve to
stimulate the Worlds Columbian exposition,
at Chicago, we give to your project the
praise that it merits, and, at the same time,
as token of fraternal love, we give the
apostolic benediction.

Some time ago there was considerable
stir in Episcopal church circles over the
condition of the financial affairs of st.

matter, the result of which is not gener-

very last acts of the bishop before leav-

Mr.. Garland from the Vermillion church.

WASHINGTON, March Secretary
Blaine received letter this morning
from Gov. Nichols, of Louisiana, in re-
gard to the recent killing OF eleven
Italians in jail at New Orleans. The
letter, which is dated March 81, ac-
knowledges receipt of the secretary's
telegram and states that the matter Is
now being investigated oy the grand
jury. The governor is satisfied that
most of the persons killed are American
citizens, but it is probable that two or

subjects. A copy of the letter was sent to

kota-The Case Explained
Carriers edition of the South Dakota
session laws, which has already gone all
over the state, prints the law for county
uniform school text books last in the
book and adds that the editors do not
know whether it became law or not,
having been properly transmitted to the
governor, and 1t having been received by
the secretary of state March IA through
the mails, without any letter of advice.
Gov. Mellette, upon his return to Pierre,
found that the original bill had been
tempered with by some miscreant after
the time that it left him, changing Sec
ton II to read that the books shall not
be bought "below any" of the prices
given instead of Sin excess" The law
is printed this way in Carriers edition
and is creating considerable question
over the state. The matter being called
to the governors attention, he appended
the following certificate to the bill,
which has been accepted by the secre-
tary:
PIERRE, March 26, 1871 certify that
the words ''below any, in line herein were
changed and inter-written after erasing the
words sin excess" which were the words
used and in the bill when it came into my
possession from the enrolling clerk.
(Signed) A. @. MELLETTE, Governor.
JnS8y the enrolled bill has been tempered
with, and the laws being printed in &C
cordance with the governors certificate
there will be no question about it unless
raised by the book companies, which is

last night preach sermon ON "Newpa-

was filled to overlooking. At the con-
clusion of the first hymn the supports of
the building gave way in the center and
the floor sank to the basement,a distance
of eight feet. The presence of mind Of
the newspaper men themselves saved a
panic. No one was injured, though sew
eral ladies tainted. The choir aided
materially in quieting the tumult by
singing 'Nearer My God to Thee," dur
ing which the audience filed out.

only the serial rights, and it is also an
nounced that he is to be paid $1,000
apiece for number of letters from
Europe.
With the exception of the 'Innocents
Abroad" and possibly 'Roughing 1t. no
one of Mark Twain's novels has brought
him the sum of $4,000 The "Gilded
Age" yielded him nearly $4,000. but
that WAS because it was ,!ramatized and
played by John T. Raymond He told
me only few weeks before he sailed
for Europe. that leaving the ''Innocents
Abroad out Of the consideration. his
other books in this country have brought
him only fair return. and that his
largest profits had been as a publisher
and rs a maker Of plays for the stage.
1t is also announced that Mr. Howells
has sold the rights to Il new novel for
serial publication for $4,000. That is
more money than Mr.. Howells has re-
ceived for any of his stories. Were it
not for the serial publication of his
stories in the magazines he would not
be able to support himself with his pen.
Even the most popular of his recent

A Modern Samson.

John Whitman, the man who lifts 600
pounds, pushed freight car weighing
10000 pounds along switch on North
street, near Madison, in the presence of
about 300 people. He got between the
car he was to push and another. the
brakes Of which We're down. Seating
himself upon the second car, he placed
his feet against the forward car, and,
after taking a deep breath, gave it one
mighty push with them. The car
quivered and then went forward several
feet. He did this several times, but
owing to the car being ON grade he
could not move it very far. A car
weighing 23,600 pounds he moved with
ease. Mr.. Dunn, the yardmaster, said
the cars moved would take the efforts of
at least eight ordinary men.
In the afternoon Whitman gave an ex-
hibition of his strength at the gym
nasium at the central police station. He
handled hundred pound dumbbell as
if it weighed five pounds. Captain Far
nan and one of his officers then got Oh
Whitman's back. who stopped over. and
with his teeth picked up two dumbbells
t;ed together, weighing 100 pounds, and
at the same time lifted a hundred pound
bell in each hand. The bells and men
on his back in all weighed 600 pounds.
Whitman also lifted 200 pounds by his
teeth. Laying out fat on the floor, he
strapped fifty pound bell to his foot.
and then raised it up slowly, stopping at
intervals. One of the most remarkable
feats he did was to tie a twenty pound
bell on the end of Il strap, the other end
of which he held in his teeth. He then
swung the bell around, and when he got
it high in air he jerked it back with his
