The Congressional Committee Gives
the Result of Its Investigations.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January lS.-The
unanimous report of the special committee
of the House, which Investigated the
Reading anthracite coal combination was
submitted to the House to-day by Mr..
Combs, chairman of the snb committee.
1t recommends as a means OF protecting
independent coal operators against discrim-
ination that the Inter State Commerce
law be amended to meet the effect Of the
Gresham and Counselman decisions and
that the long and short haul clause may be
applicable to railroads which form con-
Meeting lines. oThe commission is pre-
pared to give an opinion as to the liability
of the roads investigated, TO punishment
under the provisions of the antitrust law
but feels justified in saying that the facts
disclosed merit the fullest consideration
Of the law officers Of the Government.

A Faithful Dog.

4 rare case of canine herOisn was
developed last Friday night at a fire
which destroyed the store and dwell
ing of Mr.. Donald at Macon, Georgia.
The dog was young st. Bernard,
and was raised by Mr.. Donald's chill
dren from IA small puppy. He always
showed the greatest affection for the
children, but particularly for the
baby. Il little wee toddler, who was in
turn fond of the dog.
When the fire broke out in Mr..
Donald's store Friday night it WAS
the barking of the dog that awakened
Mrs. Donald, and she aroused her nus
band. When the dog saw that the
family had been awakened he ran out
Of the house to the stables and drove
the COWS out to safe distance from
the fire by barking at them, and
when they showed disposition not TO

til they were out of harms way
After he had driven the cows safe
distance from the house lie returned
to the room where the infant had been
sleeping in its cradle and began tug
ging at the wraps that had covered
the child, the smoke and fire binding
him so that he could not see that the
child had been removed from the era

Plea of Negro Democrats.

The National Negro Democratic
League has, through its President,
G.. II. J. Taylor, of Kansas, addressed
a letter TO President Cleveland upon
u question seriously affecting the
cause of negro Democracy i'll this
country"
After criticising the Republican
party for its treatment OF the negro,
the letter says that the League stood
with the Democratic party when 1t
was routed in 1888, and those who had
received recognition were promptly
chastised and summarily dismissed by
the successful Republicans. In the
last campaign the negro Democrat,
lin the face of insults and injuries Of
every kind, with his voice, his pen
and his best energies, proclaimed for
Grover Cleveland and reform. Ne
gro Democracy then became posi-
tive factor in the body polite OF the
nation"
The letter recites that the League
is placed in a false light before the
country because Of the failure so far
TO recognize them in the distribution
OF patronage, and asks the President
if the places held by colored Repub-
licans who have been and are now
hostile to the League and the party
with which it is identified are 10 re-
main longer in the hands of political
enemies"
To correct this abuse and prove TO
this country that the Democratic
party is true to the negro as well as
to redeem pledges made during the
campaign, the League asks that
speedy recognition be given by the
President to negro Democrats, and
the places now held by negro Repub
licans be given to the League.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

The National Republican League
met in Louisville, KY, May 18th, and
made feeble effort to revive the
corpse of the G. o. p.
The Republicans of national repu-
tation, who know when they have got
enough and who doubtless have but
little hope of raising from the grave
this modern Lazarus, ignored the
convention and were conspicuous on
account of their absence. Very little,
however, was done by the delegates,
save to enjoy the hospitality of the
citizens of Democratic State, drink
plenty of Kentucky whiskey, and
take home with them souvenir bot
ties of the Belle Nelson" variety of
the stuff which, together with horses,
has made Kentucky famous the world
over
We notice many amusing things in
the preamble and resolutions passed.
For example they reaflirmed their de-
votion to the principals of the Re
publican party, as though the princi-
pals Of tariff robbing and pension
grabbing was not as dead As the Re
publican party. They point with
pride to only one law enacted by the
Republican party during its reign
and that is the general law recon-
mended by President Harrison, for
the safety of life and limb Of railway
employees. They declared their
faith in genuine secret ballot laws,
although the States in which the Au-
stralian system was used last fall
showed a mighty cold shoulder to the
Republican candidates. They de
mand the suppression of public gam
bling, whether in food products or
by means of lottery tickets, as
though all creation did not know
that the anti-option bill has been for
years Lefore Congress and been de
feated every time, by the Republican
members of that body.
Mr.. w. w. Tracy, of Springfield,
Ill.,, was elected president in place OF
Mr.. Clarkson. The convention ad-
journed to meet in Denver, Col, next

Something for Nothing.

Men who become the victims OF
swindlers and huucOmen generally
are usually approached Ivy an appeal
to their cupidIty Ur to their vanity.
The monte game reaches men who
expect to overreach others. The
green-goods victim is caught In pre-
pairing to swind!e others, and so on
through the list Of threadOare de
vices for cheating. Recently large
number of American inventors have
paid penalty Of ten dollars each 10
vanity. \ Frenchman sent notillca-
tons to them of the recognition OF
their high merit by their election as
members of a certain Parisian acad-
envy. \ diploma and Il gold medal
went to bear testimony TO this dis
tinguished honor. All these things
would, of course, be no expense to
the newly elected member, but ten
dollars would be required TO pay
freight and other charges on the
medal and diploma. The money was
sent in many instances and u bogus
diploma aud a gilded medal were re
ceived, both of which are without
value. Then there are any number
of swindlers who promise the most re-
markable things free, such a.
portraits, watches, wonderfulreciprs,
&c, on conditions adroitly conceal
ing a swindle. When the victim
sends his order the free" gift arrives,
with collect on delivery bill by eN
press amounting TO anything from
fifty cents to Il hundred dollars. As IL
rule it will pay to let people alone
who promise something for nothing
or next to nothing.

The Treasury Situation.

The treasury situation shows de-
cided Improvement, the receipts
being larger than for last year at this
time, while the expenditures, though
large, are not so heavy as was antlcl-
pated. Most of the heavy disburse-
ments for the month have already
been made, including SS,0O0,OOO for
pensions and other heavy payments
that become due about the first of
the month. This has reduced the
net balance down TO S22, 25O,0O but
this will from now on begin to in
crease.
The gold in the treasury to-day is
S2O3, 022, 634 10, against which there
are SOB, 797, 0l9 gold certificates out
standing, leaving the net gold usual
IL denominated the reserve S99,-
225. 665.75. Offers from the West of
81, 800, 600, which have been accepted,
but which do not yet appear on the
treasury books will, when transfer
red, make the gold reserve intact, ms
stated two days ago, and leave u
margin of free gold of S725, 900.

Attempted Criminal Assault.

A special dispatch from W.nches-
ter. Va, on Monday, says: "Consid-
cradle excitement prevailed to-day
at Stephenson's Station, about five
miles north of Winchester, OCCASION
ed by an attempted criminal assault
upon Il young lady by negro on
Saturday evening. Yesterday the
negro was lodged in Jail here, and,
while it was known charges OF this
nature were against him, the names
and particulars could not be obtained.
To-day he was taken to Stephenson
bv Constable StOttlemeyer, accom-
panied by Commonwealth Attorney
X. +. Byrd, for trial before II lnaSIs-
trate. The young lady Is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. Edward CleveuSer, of JEFF
ferson county, West Virginia, and has
been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Rush, IN
this county. On Saturday evening
Miss Clevenger, accompanied by II
little girl of about five years, was re
turning from the postotlice at Clear
brook. The negro, VIM. Shorter, toll
lowed her and threatened TO kill her
if she made any noise. She screamed
loudly and fought him of. The little
girl ran away aud gave an alarm,
which was heard by Mr.. Kline, who
came to the young lady's assistance.
The negro then ran away and was not
caught until Yesterday morning.
After being identified by Miss Clev-
enger to day, the negro confessed and
said that he was drunk at the time.
The excitement was great and it was
whispered that a rope was being pre-
pared by the crowd, which numbered
about one hundred. Mr.. Byrd APP
pealed to the crowd to allow the law
to take its course, and the negro was
returned to Jail here this evening.
He is now in well-secured iron cage,
with combination lock, and no turth-
er trouble is antipipated.

An Express Train Robbed.

Last Thursday night as the north
bound passenger train on the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad stopped at Lake
ton, Ky, to take water two masked
men approached the engine. Cover
ing the engineer and tiremen with re-
volvers they compelled them to get
off the cab and 90 with them to the
express car, where they commanded
the express messengers, ). II. Ray
and II. G. Peatsou, to open the door.
This the messengers refused to do
and began hiding the contents Of the
safe and Valuables. The messengers
were informed that if they did not
open the car it would be blown open
with dynamite They refused II
second time, when charge of dyna-
mite went off, blowing Il hole i'll the
side of the car. One Of the robbers
put his gun in and demanded that
the doors be opened. Under promise
of not being hurt the messengers
opened the door and the robbers
secured everything that was left in
the safe and then left the car and
escaped in the timber. The amount
stolen is not over $1,000.

swords and Battles in the Sky.

A lady in Highland county, Vir-
ginja. writes this remarkable commu-
nication to the New York Sun:
To Editor Sun:
Sir:-I an one of those who are
looking for That Blessed Hope,
and as | have received information
from your paper | shall send you
one item on the signs of the times.
During the last week of March l saw
many supernatural signs OF war. L
saw in the clouds in the west, direct
~ after sunset one evening, a flaming
sword some twenty-five or thirty
wards long. 1t remained only short
time and vanished. \ few III the
same place something like battle
field. with decaying corpseS, and Wild
beasts. wolves. dogs and birds OF
prey eating them apparently. L also
saw armies, infantry and cavalry,
marching from north and south, ana
a stretcher twenty-five or thirty
yards long, and of all oval shape, be
tween the armies.
The third of April in the afternoon
about o'clock | saw the name
Christ, Christ, in large Roman cap
itols in straight line under the sun,
and down under the right hand
corner, the figures 1898.
On Tuesday, the 18th inst, saw
about four o'clock, p. IN, in black
letters across the north the words
Chicago Fair, August Sth.' Chica-
90 was in large printed or Roman let
ters and seemed blurred with II cloud
over it, and was barely legible, while
the Worlds Fair, August Sth, were in
script aud beautifully written. |
looked for the date of the year, but
it was not there. 1t only remained a
short time, not more than ten minutes
after | read it. You will have to in
terpet the meaning. l also saw the
same afternoon, just before the On.
cago sign, what we think the signs OF
the Battle of "Armageded. We are
having great storms here.
