ANOTHER BATTLE
Expected Between the Contending Tur-
ner and Parton Factions.

Expected Between the Contending Tur-
ner and Parton Factions.
PINEvILLE, Ky, Feb. 19.-The out
look is promising for more fun over the
Turner-Parton war. The governor of
this state has issued a proclamation
offering 5000 reward for the capture of
the notorious desperate, Berry Turner,
and it is thought that this will have the
effect of inducing some of the Parton
gang to make renewed efforts to take
the desperate leader.
There is an additional reward of 800
still standing, which was issued by men,
bers of the Parton faction. Nothing has
been heard of Turner and his gang for
some time, but he is supposed to be
doing business at his old stand, in the
neighborhood of "South America"
Any attempt to make the capture is
almost sure to result in bloodshed, as
Turner is now as desperate as bad men
ever get to be and is sure to make strong
resistance if his men stay by him. 1t is
believed that he will be able to stand off
a big posse. He, however, may be taken
by surprise, but that is thought to be a
difficult matter, as he has friends scat
tered all over the section who keep him
very well posted as to the movements of
his enemies

SOUP KITCHENS
Established by Count TOlstOi to
Relieve the Starving.
How He AsCertainS Those Who
Are Most in Need.

Peasants, in Some Instances, Have Gone
without Food in Order to Keep Their
Horses Alive-A Touching Letter from
Tolstoi's Daughter, Returning Thanks
for Famine Donations.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-Count Tolstoi gives,
in The Daily Telegraph, an interesting
description of the soup kitchens which
he has established for the relief of his
famine-stricken country people. When
he hears that the people of village are
starving, he journeys thither and sub
jects the Starosta, or leading elder, to a
series of inquiries, calculated to ascer-
tain who are most in need.
"How about Theodore Ambramoff," ,"
he asks for instance To this the elder
replies, perhaps, that Theodore is badly
off, but can pull through. He follows
up the same line of inquiries regarding
other peasants, and usually finds that he
can get impartial and trustworthy in
formation as to the actual wants of the
people. Besides his soup kitchen he
gives rye bread and potatoes to those
who are in need of relief.
The peasants are most anxious to save
their horses, as their chief dependence
for future agricultural operations.
Those of Kalooga are especially proud
of their equine stock, and in some in
stances have gone without food them
selves in order to keep the horses alive.
The peasants of one place, themselves
virtually starving, have kept eighty
horses alive through the winter, so far
on famine rations, rather than kill the
animals. Men and brutes starve to-
gether.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - Secretary

there was nothing in the financial con-

He said also that while the present net

it did not include the national bank re-

THOSE cL- THEs ON THE LINE.
a Neighborhood Controversy Which May
Lead to an International Question.

Lead 10 an International question.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-An amusing
neighborhood controversy was brought
to the attention of the district officials
Wednesday which illustrates one of the
possibilities of life in this cosmopolitan
metropolis. Dennis Murphy, who oc-
cupies handsome residence at the cor
ner of New Jersey avenue and l street,
complained to the commissioners that
p, W. Budneck, who lives opposite,
shows woeful lack of propriety in dis
playing his family washing on the park
ing in front of the house. A similar
complaint was made some years ago,
but nothing could be done by the COM
missioners, owing to the chancellor set
ting up his official connection with the
German embassy which exempted him
from prosecution under the district
laws.
DR.. B. Nelson, who lives in the second
house from the chancellor, said: "This
is an old matter with us, and Mr.. Muir
ply and myself talked over the drafting
of bill to be presented to congress to
give us relief. You see Mr.. Murphy's
view down New Jersey avenue is thor
oughly shut off on wash days, and it is
a regular habit for me to pull down the
blinds on Monday in order to keep from
looking on the sight. have no yard of
any consequence, and l am forced to
send out my wash to laundry. IL l
should attempt to hang out the clothes
in front the police would quickly stop
me. But the chancellor does as he
pleases. 1t seems to me he should be
amenable to the law, as he owns the
house and lot and pays taxes on them"
One of the district officials said: "This
may lead to an international question.
The complaint will most likely be in
vestigated and, perhaps, a note sent to
the chancellor with the intimation that
hanging clothes in the parking is OBJ
jectionable to the neighbors. Then if
the chancellor refuses to abate the nuis-
ance letter might be sent to the Ger
man minister reciting the facts in the
case and calling his attention to such a
pronounced breach of the proprieties
on the part of his subordinates
If the minister fails to come to
time and call down his chancellor, the
next step would be an appeal to the sec
retary of state to exert his diplomacy in
securing the required concessions. 1t
promises to become celebrated case be-
fore the end is reached"

To Prevent the waste of Natural Gas.

UPPER SANDUsKY, o., Feb. ia
bill of much Importance and interest to
all towns and cities using natural gas is
about to be introduced in the state
legislature. A. G. Reichelderfer, of
Lima, is its author, and the purpose is
the prohibition of the wholesale wastage
of natural gas, now being permitted in all
natural gas and oil fields in the state.
The bill is directed principally to the
practice of oil operators in working wells
for very meager supply of oil, and al
lowing immense quantities of gas to go
to waste in so doing. This practice Mr..
Reicheiderfer regards as shameful, and
he intends pushing the bill with all his
might. He says he will have the back
ing of every gas town in the state.

From Tolstoi's Daughter.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-The following
letter from Miss Titiana Tolstoi has
been received by Miss Pugh, treasurer
of the National Women's Christian
Temperance union, in answer to letter
in which Miss Pugh sent 5000 as gift
from the union:
DEAR Miss PUGH-I have received your
contribution for the sufferers from famine
in our country and heartily thank the
kind souls who have taken part in the
collection.
My father and all our family are especi-
ally touched by offerings from strange
lands. 1t is new token of the universal
brotherhood which is not violated by the
difference of government and nationality.
My father and 1 are at present for a
short visit in Moscow, and are going back
to the government of Riazan, where we
have organized seventy free eating houses,
in each of which about fifty people have
their meals twice a day.
With Gods help and the help of good
people, we expect to increase the number
of those eating houses The distress is
severer every day, and can't imagine
what it will be in the spring and next
year, when the greater part of the cattle
will be eaten or dead from hunger
If you happen to hear of new collections
for our famine stricken peasantry, which
are appointed to be sent to our family,
will you please give my mothers address
in Moscow, Hamovuiky Is, Countess
Sophia Tolstoi? She will send the mo- .ey
to us or my brother, who is now working
at the same aim in the government of
Samara, which is one of the most famine
stricken places, or else she will buy
vituals and send them to us.

THE BLAND BILL
May BE Postponed Until After
the November Election.
Important Development In the
Silver Situation.

It May Solve the Problem Which for
Some Time Has Been Causing Consid-
cradle Anxiety Among the Democrats.
Some Say If Brought UP Now 1t Might
Cause Split In the Party.
NEW YORK, Feb. ia new and i'm
portant development in the silver situa-
ton has come to the surface, and it may
solve the problem that at present is caus-
ing considerable anxiety in the Demo-
cratic camp 1t is known that the COM
mittee ON rules will report resolution
setting apart certain day for the con-
sideration Of the Bland bill, Speaker
Crisp had given assurances to the silver
men that such action would be taken
when Representative Catchings returns
from Boston.
When this resolution is submitted to
the house, Representative Bynum will
move to amend it, substituting some
day next session. He is friend of ST.
yer, but does not bSiieve that the de-
mand for free coinage is sufficiently
pressing now to warrant haZarding q
division in the party.
There is general opinion among
Democrats who want to see the tariff
issue kept paramount until after the
presidential election that such resolu-
tion can be passed by the combined votes
of the Democratic and Republican op-
ponents of silver in conjunction with
the votes of those Democrats who be-
lieve that postponement is the proper
policy. AT any rate the effort is to be
made.
In the meantime the proposed joint
caucus is off, as no action is likely to be
taken on the silver bill in the house tor
sometime. Assurances have been given
the anti-silver men that they will be
afforded sufficient time to call the caucus
before the consideration of the measure
is begun. A poll of the senate is said TO
have been made, with the showing that
free silver bill cannot pass the body.
The anti-silver men, however, are not
willing to let the bill through the house
without struggle, simply on the sup
position that it will meet defeat in the
senate.

A GREAT ICE GORGE.
The Allegheny River Packed Solid for a
Distance of Twenty Miles.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 10. - Wednesday
night dispatch from Pittsburg said
The ice gorge at Parker City is causing
much alarm. So far the efforts to blow
it up with dynamite have been fruitless.
Superintendent Price says it is the worst
ice gorge he has seen in the Allegheny
river since 1875. The river bed is ap-
parently packed solid with layers of ice
for nearly twenty miles. The head of
the gorge is at Goose bar, opposite Pine
run. Here the ice is piled nineteen feet
high, and extends up the river in solid
mass. The gorge extends up the river
for eight mles to HIllview Bend. 1t is
almost solid the entire distance and in
some places is piled up several feet
above the main body of the gorge.
From Hillvew Bend north there is an
open channel for about mile. Here is
another gorge which extends to the
mouth of the Clarion river above
Parker.
