to~the throne of Egypt, to come to Con

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 1.-THE grand
jury to day indicted the Southern Elk
press Company for receiving and for
warding money to the Louisiana Lot
terry and returning tickets to purchas-
ers, The Indictment is found on the
idea that this action makes the express
company an agent of the lottery, which
is positively prohibited by law. The
outcome of this case will be closely
watched, for if the view holds good it
will abolish almost the only means that
parties have of getting tickets from the
lottery. Judge Christman, the Judge
of the court, is a strong opponent of
the lottery.

COLUMBIA, Mo, Jan. 1O.-Blackened
walls anG smoking ruins are all that is
left of the main building of the Missouri

of $130, 600 and upon the library Of
so, 900. The library with it's 10000

THE VALUE OF An EYE.
Verdict Against the Pond Machine Tool
Company for $4,000.


ELIZABETH, Jan. 11-This afternoon
in the Union County Court a suit was
decided against the Pond Machine Tool
Company of Plainfield, which was
mulcted in heavy damages by Joseph
w. Robinson, a former employee. Rob
inson, while working for the company,
was struck in the ball of one eye by
a flying particle of steel, which came
from a casting that some other work
men for the company were knocking
chips off.
The fragment of steel imbedded itself
so deeply in Robinson's eye as to ruin
the sight. His lawyer, w. H. Davis,
of Phillipsburg, brought suit against
the company, and the jury brought in
a verdict for S., 600.
The plaintiff is satisfied, but the de-
PENDANT corporation is not, and will, it
is said, appeal from the verdict to the
Supreme Court The Pond Company
was represented by Senator Edwards,
of Jersey City.

Why should a Republican Congress
and Administration aid in securing to
the German manufacturers untaxed
wool and to the German people un-
taxed clothing, while heaping still
higher the taxes on wool fibre and
fabrics for our own people? 80 :
Germany, like the United States, is
a wool-growing and wooden manufac-
turing country. Like ue, she has a
high protective tariff. But Germany
neither handicaps her manufacturers
with tax on their raw material nor
Expresses her people with taxes on
the clothing that is essential TO their

ing country in the world, save the
