NEWS OF THE DAY.

Near Manchester, a suburb of st.
Louis, yesterday evening, Horace john
son, negro, criminally assaulted two
old white women-one GO and the 9th
er 70y years old. The negro was arrest
cd and to prevent his being lynched
was taken to the Jail in ST. Louis. The
crime, occurring on the day following
the crime and lynching of Buckner,
another negro ravisher, and within
three miles of the scene of his brutal
deed, has thrown the suburban COM
munity into frenzy that nothing but
blood will appease. The prisoner will
be taken to Manchester undera heavy
guard to day, when it is thought that
collision between the mob and the Off
GERS will occur.
There was great interest in financial
circles in San Francisco yesterday over
the possibility of big suit against G. p.
Huntington being brought by Mrs. Lee
land Stanford, executrix of her late
husbands estate, to recover several
millions said to have been withheld by
him. A dispatch from San Francisco
to-day says there will be no legal suit.
Mrs. Stanford fully understands all the
circumstances and an accounting can
be had whenever desired.

The jacksonville Fight

JACKSONVILLE, FL, Jan. 19.-Sheriff
Broward returned from Tallahassee this
noon. He went to get full and detailed
instructions as to his duty. He says
Gov. Mitchell is indignant over the def
ant attitude of the club and says that the
fight will be stopped at all hazards if
possible to do so. The Sheriff says the
fight will not come off here in this coun-
ty if he can prevent it, and he thinks
he can. Rumor that the city chief of
police has sworn 400 special deputies to
arrest the militia if they interfere in
the contest, as the city had given a
license for it, has caused some commo-
ton, but while not denying it, city Off
Gals laugh at it. The club people say
that they will pull the fight oil in secret,
but seem exceedingly anxious about it.
Jack Dempsey will second Corbett.
Bets are 100 to GO in favor of Corbett.

FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS-.
SENATE.

SENATE.
The Senate was not in session to-day,
it having adjourned yesterday to meet
GU Monday.
HOUSE.
The House went into committee OF
the whole to consider the Wilson bill.
An agreement was then entered into,
whereby three hours, Immediately after
the House goes into committee of the
whole next Monday, will be given to
debate on the sugar schedule, and the
vote will then be taken on any amend
ments which may be offered.
Mr.. Dalztll asserted that Mr.. Johu-
son had misled the committee into the
belief that he was manufacturer of
steel rails in general, whereas he was a
manufacturer of Il particular style, and
monopolst in that class that he had
mis-stated the facts before the commit
tee that he was anxious to have steel
rails put on the free list, while he was
still protected by 102 U. S. patents (;
that he forced his employees into re-
ceiving their wages in one-third cash
and two thirds scrip; that he had
made statement on the floor of the
House in regard to the redemption Of
those certificates which was untrue !;
that he privately altered the stenogra-
piers notes and inserted in the Record
statement he did make on the
floor, which was untrue.
Again, referring to the question Of
scrip, he asserted this scrip was hawked
about the streets of Johnstown and that
it was bought up by relative of John
son at discount. The statement of
Nlr. Johnson that he paid better wages
than the other mills, Mr. Dalzell char
acterized as untrue. He had direct
evidence from a person who was in
position to know that the wages paid at
the Johnson mill were not higher than
at the other mills.
The amendment proposed by Mr..
johnson putting steel rails on the free
list was lost by vote of 70, all demo
Gratis, in the affirmative, to 100 i'll the
negative.
Mr.. Henderson offered al amend
ment to substitute the existing law for
the agriculture scedule of the Wilson
bill. He spoke in favor Of the amend
ment which is still under discussion.

Thai the sheriff created little excite

Medical writers claim that the successful
remedy for nasal catarrl must be non-irritat-
ing. easy of application, and one that will
reach the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts 10 treat catarrh is
proof positive that only one remedy has COM
plctely met these conditions and that is Ely's
Cream Balm. This same and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh AS nothing else has ever
done. and both physicians and patients freely
concedc this fact. Our druggists keep it.
