and above all does not want to fight,
and although he has signed to go on the
expedition he will withdraw IL there is
any Illegal act in contemplation. Off
cials at Washington are not disposed to
attach much Importance to the COM
munication, as they believe that q fili-
clustering expedition would be conducted
with more caution than appears to be
shown in this case. They are also puz-
zled to guess the destination Of the
party If 1t should be of warlike intent.
A flibustering expedition to Mexico

The reports which come from the re-
cent executions by electricity at Sing
Sing indicate beyond all question that
this new method of infiicting capital
punishment is painless and therefore a
success. The medical men who made
the autopsy state that the victims were
scared but not burned, and slightly dis
figured but not tortured. So far as the
designation is concerned, hanging has
no advantages over the new method,
for strangulation by the halter produces
most repulsive evidences of its work
The physicians further testify that al
though the electricity entered the eyes
and caused the albuminous fluid to CO.
agulate and film each iris over, it did
not even injure the delicate optic
nerves, while as for the brain and other
organs, they were left in perfectly nor
NAL condition. The effects of the cleo
tricity, so far as the visible marks were
concerned, did not show themselves be-
meath the cuticle.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

OF the Mississippi counties which have
nominated their legislative candidates
the result stands for United States
senator: George, 17k votes; Barks-
dale, 3. Barksdale favors the SUBJ
treasury scheme, while George OPP
poses it. This is the principal issue be-
tween them. The result so far points
clearly to Georges reelection and indi-
Gates that the subtreasury has not a
large following. Barksdale is not at all
discouraged, and he and his friends
claim that the counties yet to act will
change the result in his favor.

IN THE WEST.

Advert NERILLoN and c. Bourbon,
French mining engineers, are en- route
to Utah. M. Bourbon said that while
the English had invested much capital
in this country French capitalists had
been rather shy of initiating their ex-
amples. They were now becoming con-
WINGED, however, that it would be a
good thing to do, and large amounts of
French capital were ready for invest
ment in America as soon as the posses
sors of it were convinced that their
money would be safely placed To this
end, M. Bourbon added, he and COM
panion were going to Utah and Colorado
to inspect certain well known mining
properties. They would make reports
upon them that could be relied upon by
the bourse. This was made necessary
by the numerous wildcat reports which
have been spread abroad in Paris about
American enterprises. .a
The law passed by the last Illinois
general assembly, which went into
effect July /, inficts heavy penalties for
participation in trusts and combina-
tionS and provides punishment for the
purchasers as well as the sellers Of arti-
cles whose price is controlled by agree
ment. Very many of the articles dealt
in by the grocers are so controlled, the
wholesalers contracting with the manu-
facturers not to sell below the card
rates. This has been rather irksome to
the large dealers here, and they have
taken opportunity to notify the manu-
facture RS that under the law the can no
longer be bound by the agreement.
Whether the result will be disturbance
in values remains to be seen.
THE whisky trust has notified the col
lector of internal revenue that the out
put of the Shufeldt and Calumet distil-
leries has been reduced. At Peoria
similar reduction has taken place and
the same is true of other distilleries in
the trust. The trust officers claim the
decrease in the output from Shufeldt's
.distillery is because of the usual summer
stagnation, but as the trust distilleries
are universally restricting their output
those who are in position to know say
the trust don't intend to waste it's money
when this is unnecessary.
T.; THE supreme court of Kansas, on the
statement Of facts presented in the
mandamus of the board of directors of
the penitentiary, held that the eight
hour law did not apply to any Of the
state institutions. This settles the
question of the extra session of the leg
islature, as the appropriations are suf-
ticient to run the institutions under the
old law. .....a.

Louisiana Conyicts Killed in q Terrible
Wind Storm at Baton Rouge Results
Elsewhere-Loss or Life on England,s
Coast Balloon Struck by Lightning.
The cyclone that wrecked the State
penitentiary at Baton Rouge, La !, was
widespread and its results most disas-
trous. AT that place fifty houses were
destroyed besides the prison building.
Ten conyicts were killed, thirty-six
wounded, six fatally, and the streets OF
the beautiful little city presented woe
full picture of destruction.
There were forty prisoners at work in
the pants factory at the time of the
crash, and of that number six were
killed, and twenty-five were wounded
and horribly crushed. On the second story
Or central floor was the hospital, where
twenty-six prisoners lay undergoing
medical treatment, of which number four
were killed and fourteen seriously IL not
fatally injured. The fire alarm was
sounded and the entire fire department
was Summoned to the scene of the dread
full catastrophe, and together with the
citizens and prison officials, aided by the
injured prisoners, worked vigorously for
the rescue of the unfortunate souls, who
lay, some dead and others dying, con-
fined under the great heap Of debris that
was thickly strewn over every quarter of
the premises. Scenes of the greatest
horror greeted the eye of those engaged
in the rescuing work, and the pitiful
walls and death groans from the men
buried out Of sight by massive heaps of
bricks and mortar could be heard arising
from every part of the wreck, imploring
help, and altogether the scene was heart
rending. The storm was attended by a
most violent rain, in which the rescuers
toiled for several hours, or until both
the living and the dead were extricated
from the ruins.
The tow-boat Smoky City was caught
eight miles below the city, and almost
wrecked. One man was drowned, and
nine OF the crew seriously hurt
Near Brook Haven and Madison, Miss,
several people were killed, many wound

At Galveston, Texas, a driving south
west wind accompanied by heavy rain
caused many Of the lower portions OF the
city to be practically inundated. The
wind reached velocity of fifty-five
miles per hour. The electric-light plant
was useless, and the darkness added to
the fury of the storm made anything
like travel impossible, and caused many
TO think that repetition of the great
storm flood of 1885 was about to occur.

doned. The worst damage done was
along the Gulf beach, where the terrific
force of the surf carried away almost
everything within it's reach.
The tide was the highest known for
years and when the wind veered to the
west late at night 1t looked as though
every craft in the harbor was doomed to
destruction. Much uneasiness Is felt for
the safety of the steamer Franklin, due
from the banana fields of Nicaragua
The occupants of the pagodas and many
of the beach resorts had to be taken
out by means Of life-saving lines.
Throughout the city houses were blown
down and steps and stairs were carried
away. Several people were injured.

A SPLIT IN THE ALLIANCE.
The Sub-Treasury the Rock ON Which 1t
Is to BE Wrecked.

The Sub-Treasury the Rock ON Which 1t
Is to BE Wrecked.
The principal feature OF the Texas state
alliance convention held at Fort Worth was
a speech by u. s. Hall, president of the Mis-
souri, alliance. He charges that Dr. Macune
has sold out for q money consideration to
the prohibitionists, land in furtherance of
that bargain the third party movement was
inaugurated in the south to divert the dem
ocratic vote. President Hall demanded
that Macune be expelled from the order
and the demand was loudly applauded.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing the
sub-treasury and land loan schemes and
the government ownership of railroads as
violation of the first principles of good gov
eminent, as paternal in their character, as
centralizing in their tendencies, and If en-
acted into law would create such a horde Of
Office holders as would fasten the clutches
OF the party in power upon the threats of
the people. The resolutions demand that
those men who are not farmers be removed
from the national and state Offices of the
order. 1t Is believed the outcome of the
convention will be split in the alliance,
one faction representing the third party and
the other the democratic wing

One or two 60 so far as to say that this

The old mans studious persual of the

The black youth responded promptly

s.The Return OF Spring"

CAREY J. WARBINToN is free man
again. He is the self-appointed pro-
tector of female virtue, who during the
art exhibition last fall in Omaha visited
the gallery at Thirteenth and Harvey
streets, and while there suddenly came
before Bougereau's famous painting,
"The Return of Spring" The picture
shocked his modesty and he at once
threw chair through it, luining the
handsome work of art. He was arrested
and given trial, but the jury dis
agreed. The defense was insanity. The
county attorney called up the case and
asked the court to dismiss it, as he was
convinced no conviction could be had.
