A Disreputeble Row at Jacksonville
That May End in Death.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. March 5.-The DO
lice reported this morning that between IL
and O'Clock Charles Biggs, with a young
white man named Peters ami young COL
ored man known as RAT" Anderson, went
to house of ill-fame kept by a colored
woman known as Hannah Bisbee,
Hawk streets. and Biggs began a
row with a negro named Adams, a stranger
| here, and young negro woman named
Idella Green, who were coming out Of the
Bisbee woman's house. Biggs halted the
couple and ordered the woman to 20 with
him The man objected. Bggs then
caught hold Of the woman and began pull
ing her, when she resisted and Adams inter-
fered aud row began.
BIGGs BADLY WOUNDED.
Adams thought Biggs was going TO shoot
him and he (Adamsl began firing at Biggs
first and ran off, He sent one 32-caliber
ball out Of five into Biggs' abdomen, which
entered about l Il inches below and to the
left of the navel. 1t ranged around and
through to the right, and it Is be-
lieved will prove fatal. The wounded
man. was taken to his shome at the cor
ner Of Duval and Catherine streets, where
LIZ. miner ana LIT. -. y. burroughs were
called this morning to examine the wound.
The surgeons do not exactly know the full
extent of the wound, but say It is serious.
Adams made his escape and has not been
heard of since the shooting.
BAD RECORD.
Biggs was at the circus last night and
under the influence of liquor, and In quar-
relsome mood when he left it. His career
here for the past two years has been one of
sin and shame. he sprung from an old and
good family, but has brought disgrace upon
himself aud sorrow TO his kindred
Unfortunately, Biggs' wife has also
bad name and both of them have figured
repeatedly in the courts for embezzIement,
robbery, drunkenness and fighting. The
young wife is also the daughter of an old
and honored citizen, whose gray locks have
probably been made winter by the erring
conduct of his daughter. Tonight Biggs'
life is despaired of.

PARTIALLY IN PENSION CASES
Secretary Noble Writes Commissioner
Raum Sharp Letter.

Secretary Noble Writes Commissioner
Rsum Sharp Letter.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Commissioner
Raum some daysago called the attention Of
Secretary Noble to the fact that complaints
were coming in OF partislity in the exami-
nation and final disposition OF pension
claims, and stated that from Dec. Z, 1891,
TO March %, inclusive, 40, Isl calls had
been made by members OF congress
for the status OF pension claims;
also that these calls for the status
OF cases by congressman were made without
reference to the time of the hling Of the
claims and so it constantly happened that
claims recently filed are called up on con-
gressional slips, taken from the files and
placed upon the examiners desk, where
they are found to be complete aud are i'm
mediately allowed, thus giving them prece-
dence over the claims filed at an earlier
date which have not been allowed in their
order.
AN ORDER COVERING TIE CASE.
The secretary to-day in letter called the
commissioners attention TO his order Of
Sept. 20, 1880. against any undue prefer
ence Of any claim in the time of either
hearing or adjustment, and says: 1.-THE
evil which you point out does not arise
from allowing an examination of the status
of cases. but in permitting the examiner to
approve completed cases out OF their order
when thus called up. You say the
action Is taken to save second handling
Of the papers. The reason given is
utterly insufficient to justify the wrong
done the claimant who is being relegated TO
the rear by this process. and can but feel
that the evil has been allowed without justi-
fcation. Information as to the state of the
case can be given by such a force as can be
reasonably spared for the work. But the
case must, even If completed. be returned to
Its former place in the line OF those IN like
condition. 1t is not a case OF favor to any,
but of justice to all. and Of obedience TO a
plain order made and known to have been
made against just such action"

fects Several Loans.
ATLANTA, GA, March 5. A young man
representing himself as the son OF ex-Gov.
Hubbard of Texas, and also as Hon. ]. @.
c. Blacks son. has been the subject of q
good deal OF discussion among the state
house officials for tha past several DAYS. but
every precaution has been taken to prevent
the talk of the young man from coming 20
the ears OF newspaper reporters, and the
facts in the case only became known to-
day. The young man. whose true name is
supposed TO be Herring, has left q record
behind him for audacity that is highly
interesting. He enjoys the distInc-
ton of having ogled the chief
Justice OF the supreme court, Judge Block
ley, out OF snug sum and also several
other state officials upon whose confidence
he played. He attempted to victimize the
governor, but through the watchfulness OF
the governors janitor that part Of his
scheme failed.
HOW HE TLEECED THE JUDGE.
The young man represented TO Chief Jus.
tice Bleckley that he was the son of
ex-Gov. Hubbard, that he was com PEELED to
leave home very suddenly and was out Of
funds. He wanted to negotiate loan and
the chief justice was taken in. The same
! young man called at the residence Of
H. c. Peoples, reporter of the supreme
court, and repeated the same story. explain-
ing that he would be all right when be got
to Augusta. where he was going to visit
relatives. Mr.. Peoples Ehad but $40 in his
pocket and gave the ex-governor's son lift.
To others the young man claimed to be the
son OF Hon. j. c. G. Black, as has been
| learned. Several days ago Mr.. Peoples
wrote to the parties In Augusta whom his
evening visitor had claimed as his relatives
In reply he was informed that they knew Of
no such person as he described. This, Of
course, confirmed the suspicious laready
aroused as to the character Of the young
man who had made himself known to the
| officials, who, however, feel consolation in
the fact that the chief justice was also sin

Tracks in the Mud Leading From
Where Hopkins Lay.
PHILADELPHIA Pa, March 5.-A special
TO the Times from Nays Landing, N. j.,
says the inquest on the body of ex- Congress
man Stephen T. Hopkins. found near Pleas
antville. was held to-day. and deepens
rather than throws any light on the dark
mystery which has surrounded the case
since the finding Of the body. The engineer
of the train who discovered the body testi-
fed that the body was lying out of the
water, but the tide was then low and had
risen two feet during the night.
FOOTPRINTS IN THE MUD.
About fifty feet from where the BODY
was found a number Of footprints leading
from the track to meadow were found.
No tracks were visible where the man lay
and no signs of where he had fallen down
the bank. The engineer was
of the opinion that the man met
with foul play and had been placed
in the position he was found in. The left
cuff was stained with blood. When Mr..
Hopkins left the hotel he carried a heavy
gold hunting case watch. which is described
by his brother as valued at $500. THIS was
not found on tho body. After being out a
short time the jury brought in a verdict Of
death by drowning.

COMPULSORY PILorAan.
A Bill Introduced in Congress TO Abo

A Bill Introduced in Congress TO Abol
ish the Fees.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-There has been
a great deal of objection raised in recent
years by coastwise vessel owners to paying
compulsory pilotage to state pilots when
ever their vessels enter or leave any of the
ports along the Atlantic coast for the
reason that In almost every instance
the vessels pilot Is thoroughly capable Of
plotting his own ship. To remedy this and
make the laws general a bill has been in
troduced in congress to abolish compulsory
pilotage fees.
FEES PAID FOB NOTHING.
It was shown at hearing given by the
Senate committee on commerce to-day by
Mr.. Thomas Of Taunton, Mass, who repre-
sented New England ship owners and
favored the bill, that vessels Of all kinds
trading up and down the coast. entering the
ports OF Virginia, Maryland, Georgia and
some other southern states had to pay pilot.
age fees, in come instances amounting
b from $50 to $40 every time they
inferred or left port, without ever seeing a
local pilot, except when he came aboard to
present his bill. This enforcement of COM
pulsory pilotage, Mr.. Thomas insisted, i'm
posed heavy assessment upon vessel owns
ers without their having received any ben
eft, and as the pilots OF coastwise vessels
were familiar with the harbors state pilots
were not necessary. Therefore, he urged
the passage OF the bill.
OPPOSITION OF THE PILOTS.
r. G. Marshall Of Norfolk, in behalf Of
the pilots OF Virginia, opposed the bill on
the ground that the system OF compulsory
pilotage had been considered necessary TO
commerce by all maritime nations for many
years, and to abolish it would destroy the
efficiency Of the pilotage system and affect
injuriously the commerce of some of the
southern ports by increasing insurance and
the rates of freight.

cotton rows, they should be made the
same width.
The seed should be dropped about
Twelve to fifteen inches apart in as
deep flu row as can be made with a
solid sweep or turning pillow run both
ways. They should be covered by
dragging the soil over them with a
harrow or other appliance. They
should be lightly covered to encour-
age early growth and the soil should
be thrown towards the plants as they
grow UP. If they have been planted
deep enough it will not be necessary
to hill them. Level cultivation is
best. Manure should have been ap-
piled in the fall and plowed in. If
this was neglected the next best thing
is to spread the manure on the surface
between the rows after planting. The
old practice of filling the furrow with
manure and planting on it has been
found injurious. 1t will give quick
er and ranker growth of weed, but the
potatoes are liable to be affected with
scab and eaten by worms.

MICHIGAN ELECTION LAWS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The Michi-

t. have the constitutionality of the
Miner law tested in the supreme
court of the United States. They
have had careful examination made
of the presidents regarding the choice
of elections and several ways have
been found by which the case can be
appealed to the highest court in the
land. The leading contention will
probably he the choice of electors at
large, as it j. claimed there it might
split the state in two parts in provid-
ing for the choice of electors at large.

engagements have been perfected by
which the case will be got before the
