CELERY AND LATE CABBAGE.-The
american CultiUator believes that it is
easy for any farmer to grow both cab
bage and celery for late crop in the
open air. The early spring planting
has to be started in hot-bed, but for
late crop the only advantage the hot
bed gives is in furnishing richer seed
bed than can usually be obtained
early in the spring. After making the
seed bed as rich as possible with what
rotted manure can be worked into the
soil it will still pay to add nitrate of
soda. Both cabbage and celery are
gross feeders. and success in planting
either depends on getting the most Wig
orous growth possible. Later in the
season, vhen the larger part of their
growth is made, ali rich soils have a
larger supply of nitrogen in form avail
able for theroots to use.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 6, 1898

THE SPIRIT ofgovernmental paternsl-
ism is extending its influence. Inc
time of days labor has already been
fixed by law, and laws have been pass
ed restricting the labor of women and
children and now it is seriously pro-
posed to make the hour of closing, II
not of opening, shops the subject OF
legal enactment. This is nominally, at
least. free government, but all we'll
informed people know that the indlvld-
ual. personal liberty of the citizens OF
this. is really less than that of those OF
anv other country on the face OF the
earth. Why a man who may want 10
work ten or any other number Of hours
day, and why shop keeper who may
choose to keep his doors open after
dark, shouldn't be allowed to do SO, are
among the many things which no rea-
sonable fellow can find out. No body
is now compelled by law to work, but
the legitimate result of the spread OF
the spirit referred to, will be that after
a while laws will be passed forcing
every man who hasn't bank account
to labor for at least certain number OF
hours every day of his life. When
that time shall come paternalism Will
not be as popular as it is now.

Mr.. BREcKINRIDGE's ANswER.-Af-
ter having waited until within one-half
hour of the closing time of the last day

son and Enoch Totten, attorneys for
Hon. William c. P. Breckenridge, filed
demurrer to the declaration of Miss
Madeline V. Pollard, in the circuit
court in Washington yesterday, at $50
o'clock. The demurrer is very short
and is not denial of the charges pre-
ferred against the Congressman by
Miss Pollard, but attacks the bill from
standpoint of law. The defendant
claims that the declaration is bad in
substance and states that the following
points of law will be argued
l. The said declaration consists Of
three separate counts, which improper
ly allege three separate contracts Of
marriage. and allege that said three
contracts to marry were subsisting at
one and the same time.
,. Not more than one contract to
marry can subsist at the same time be-
tween two persons.

ton is bad, because it alleges matters
and things which cannot, in law, be
considered Substantive facts necessary
to constitute cause of action" there

Unraveling the Mystery

Halliday, who is suspected Of murder
ing the two women at Birmingham, is
held under warrant Of arrest, pend,
ing the coroner's inquest, which ad,
journed to Saturday. The mystery is
beginning to unravel. The younger
woman found murdered under the
barn is Robert Halliday's daughter
aud granddaughter Of old Paul, the
missing husband. She came from Prov
idence, r. l., last week and was met at
Pine Rush depot on Thursday or Fri
day last by the suspected grand
mother. The murdered girl is niece
of Policeman Joseph Sharp. Mr.. Sharp
and his wife have gone to Blooming
burg to see the body for means of iden-
LITIGATION at the inquest. This girl Wis
tied the Birmingham homestead two
years ago, and it is said that there had
been trouble between her and the step
grandmother. The body of the older
woman murdered is still unidentified.
The whereabouts of the prisoners hus-
band remain unknown. The general
opinion here to-day is that the prisoner
killed her husband and buried his re-
mains in the woods on the mountains.
Another dispatch says the two muir
dered women are Margaret McQuillian

THE DALTON GANG NEARLY WIPED
OUT.-The posse of officers in pursuit
of the Dalton gang returned to Guthrie,
o. T., Monday night empty-handed. A
courier from Saltwater brought the
news that doctor of that town, who
has been missing several days, has just
returned, and tells startling story.
He was called out of his office Sunday
night, taken in charge by two armed
men, and escorted to the outlaws
camp, and compelled to dress their
wounds. He says that all are wounded,
and positively two and possibly three
will die. One of those nearest death is
Bill Dalton, the outlaw leader, who has
two bullets in his body and a broken
arm. The doctor will not divulge the
hiding-place of the gang, however, for
they swore him to secrecy, under the
penalty of death, before allowing him
to return.

IMAGINATION KILLING Hm.-William
Alderman of the Aspetuck district of Easton,
Conn.,, is suffering from imaginary hydropho-
bia. Until Saturday he had to be strapped
down in his bed with leather straps and
sheets, and guard of four men was neces-
gary even then to keep him from breaking
loose and possibly killing himself and every
body else. He is so weak now that tho straps
are about useless. but two strong men still sit
on the bed to hold him.
So far as is known he never was bitten by a
dog, nor was he ever frightened by one. but
he talks of big black dog and snarls and
growls and snaps, and tries to bite those about
him. Morphine, cholorform and other drugs
seem to have no effect toward quieting him.
The physicians who are attending him say
his suferings will probably end in death.

THE RuMoR that many Virginia dem
ocrats are drifting into the ranks OF the
populists, because their recent State
convention did not recommend free
silver coinage, can hardly be true, as
they insisted upon the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland, pronounced anti
silver man. and as the men they sent
to the convention referred to, on the
advice of their two U. S. Senators, de-
liberately refused to make any refer
ence to free silver coinage in the plat
form that convention adopted. No
Virginia Cleveland democrat, with any
regard for consistency, can fail to favor
the repeal of the silver act, and the
election OF Governor who says that
whatever Mr.. Cleveland does is right,
on general principles.
