The Boundary Disputa,

There is another phrase to the
boundary line dispute between
Maryland and West Virginia now
in the Supreme Court, in fact, as
pointed out by an exchange, that
there is no provision for the
ceding of territory by one State to
another either in the Federal or
State constitutions, though the
State may cede territory to the Fed
eral Government. AS each State
retains all the sovereignty not ex-
pressly delegated to the Federal
Government it might be supposed
that the power to sell is inherent in
the State, and with the power to
sell goes the power to convey a title.
But the Constitution of the
United States provides that no
state shall enter into any "agree-
ment or compact with another
State" without the consent of Con
gress would be necessary to ratify
any agreement on the part Of either
state to sell the Disputed territory
to the other.
The result would be that should
the Federal court decide the case
in favor of Maryland the State Of
West Virginia would have several
counties completely isolated, and
in order to effect any compromise
the action of Congress would be re.
quired.

A Horrible and Ohastlx Find.

Some men cutting pulp wood
Tuesday afternoon, found the badly
decomposed remains of man in
some brush, about three hundred
yards from the West Virginia Cen
tral track short distance north of
Thomas, W. Va, The men sup
posed them to be the remains of Mr..
j. \. O'Donnell, who disappeared
from Thomas May rs, 1892, and
latef on Mrs. j. II. Gallagher, his
sisteE, positively identified the body
by the clothes, as her brother. She
has taken charge of the remains,
and 20 inquest will be held.
O'Donnell was the brother-in-la
of track foreman j. Z. Gallagher,
at ThPmas. He was a single man
thirty three years of age, and from
LatroAe, Pa, but formerly of Terra
Alta. When discovered the body
was leaning against tree with the
hat pulled down over the face, and
gave TN idea, from Its position that
he had sat down for a nap. The
flesh had all disappeared from the
face, but some little remained on
the body.
A loaded revolver was found in
his pocket. In his vest pocket was
small quantity of silver, and a
memorandum book in his inside
coat pocket. The latter was so
badly decayed that no information
could be obtained from it. In his
shirt was a hole resembling one
made by a bullet.
He had a roll of money and a gold
watch on his person when he left
home, but neither was found on the
body. The supposition is that he
was murdered by some of the tough
foreigners in that section and then
robbed. The region is not much
excited over the discovery, although
the relatives of the dead man are
grief stricken.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Appropriations for
the Worlds fair by foreign govern
ments and different states OF this coun-
try are practically closed up, and Presi-
dent Harrison will shortly be officially
informed by President Palmers report
just how much the United States and
ali countries are going to do for the big
fair President Palmer's report will be
completed within the next few days.
| When President Harrison reads this re-
port, he will find that foreign govern
ments have, all told, set apart approx
mately s., s4S, 59s.
Their amount is distributed among
! eighty-six nations, colonies, principal
ities etc. OF this number thirty-eight
have organized official commissions to
! conduct their Worlds fair business.
The remaining mum Der will have exhib-
its at the fair under less pretentious
auspices. There are already in pro-
cess Of construction sixteen foreign
government buildings. These pavilions
are special in their nature. Countries
which will make exhibits in the main
buildings have not deemed it necessary
to construct special pavilions
Germany heads the list with an APP
preparation of 100000; France is sec
ond, having appropriated 1898, coo; Ja-
pan comes next with $500, 900; and Bra
I'll is fourth with 5000, 600 The next
largest is Great Britain's appropriation
OF SOL, 200. Following the recital of
what moneys have been appropriated
by foreign countries, Director-General
Davis has submitted list of the states
which have set aside money for the
fair, thirty-one of the states erecting
pavilions. Their appropriation aggre-
gate SO, 000 045
Illinois tops the column, having set
aside $500 600 to defray the states ex-
penses, white the interests of Califor-
MIA, New York and Pennsylvania will
be taken care of with the sum of $780,
900 for each state. Colorado, Iowa,
Michigan, Ohio and Washington have
each appropriated $780, 600 or over and
the other states range from $4,000 to
s75. o00
A number of states expect to secure
increased appropriations. New York is
asking for $500, 900 more from its state
legislature and Gov. Flower has recon-
mended it. New Jersey is pleading
for S70, 600. North Dakota wants more
money and the Kentucky legislature
has just passed a bill appropriating
500, 900 for an exhibit.

And Killed the Mother Of Ills Intended
MISUNDERSTANDING the Cau-e.
ANNA, ILL.,. Jan. 49, Mrs. Edith Kel-
Ter has been brutally murdered at her
home on farm east of Dongola, in this
(Union) county The murder was com
mitted after night Mrs, Keller and her
daughter were sitting before the fire in
such manner that their shadows were
thrown upon the window curtain,
which was lowered. Suddenly a
bullet crashed through the win
dow and curtain, barely missing
the daughter but piercing the
mothers head, inficting a wound which
soon resulted in death. james Mem
tire ard Francis Settelmier are in Jail,
charged with the crime. At the inquest
the daughter testified that the young
men had threatened to kill her if she
continued TO receive the attentions of
certain other young men. On this evil
dence the young men were committed
to jail. 1t is supposed that the bullet
which killed MIS- Keller was intended
FOR her daughter.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Wreck on the Santa Fee Road-A Number
OF Pereons Hurt.

OF Persons Hurt.
KEoKUK, Ia, Jan. ga bout o'clock
Tuesday morning the first section OF
the California limited express, on the
Santa Fe railway, was derailed at a
point near the Missouri line, by the
breaking of rail, undoubtedly due to
the excessively cold weather. The din
ing car was wrenched from the rear
end of the train and hurled down pre-
cipitous embankment. The remainder
of the train fortunately remained on
the ties The wrecked diner quickly
caught fire from the range, and
it was with the greatest difficulty
that any one was rescued. The train
men and passengers worked heroically,
but without avail, to subdue the flames.
VIM Ross, writer from Chicago, was
pinned in the wreckage, SO that it was
impossible to rescue him, and he literal
ly roasted to death before their eyes.
The passengers luckily escaped with
slight injuries. Those injured in the
diner are: r.. S. Phelps, nagman,
Chicago: VIM. Bell, waiter, Chicago;
Warren NJ. Smith, third cook; James l..
Jones, dining car conductor; L. Lengen,
waiter; J. w. Stephenson, waiter;
Michael Attends. of St. Paul, waiter.
None of these were fatally hurt.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19,-The city will
shortly have in operation the largest
aluminium factory in the world. 1t is
now in course of construction, and the
purpose for which the immense struc-
ture is intended was only developed
Wednesday by the giving out of the
contract for the steam plant. The plant
has been arranged to yield an output OF
10000 pounds of pure aluminium per
day, and experts regard the estimate as
a very conservative one. When it is re-
membered that the present output OF
aluminium in the world is less than
1900 pounds per day, the influence OF
the new works Will be seen to be very
large indeed
