The Sugar Bounty Test Cases.

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE sugar
bounty cases are to come up before
Judge McComas today, and Secre-
tary Carlisle's decision to pay no
bounty on the crop Of 1894 will
come up for review. The Miles
Planting and Manufacturing COM
pany, Of Louisiana, engaged in the
planting and growing of sugar
cane, on Sept. 10 applied to Judge
McComas, of the district Supreme
court, for a mandamas against the
secretary of the treasury and the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
to compel them to continue the
inspection Of sugar plantations, re-
quired by the Mckinley sugar
bounty law. The petitioners stat.
ed that an inspection Of their plant
has been refused by the treasury
office on the ground that the lately
enacted tariff law annulled and
rescinded the granting of bounty
to sugar producers that the tariff
act does so operate the petitioners
deny. Judge McComas directed
that Secretary Carlisle be required
to show cause today why man
damus should not be issued.

NEW YORK CHAMPION
ATHLETES TO BE SENT TO ENG
LAND
TO CONTEST FOR PRIZES AND
MEDALS.
Uncle Sam Has Plenty OF Coed
Material, to Knock Out the
Johnny Bulls.

New YORK, Oct. lament the
report that New York will send an
athletic club to Europe, George
Schweigler, the athlete, has sent to
+. G. Carter, the official handicap
per of the A. A. Z. and editor of the
New York Athletic Club Journal"
the following communication
which will be published today:
Dear Sir: The New York Ath-
letic club has not only been sue
cessful in the rivalry with other
clubs but it has in its ranks this
season athletes, who are undoubt-
eddy entitled to consideration Of
representative champions Of
America, and whose ability en-
ables them to hold their own with
the best men in other countries.
Never has the outlook been bright
er for an international contest re.
sulting in an overwhelming vic.
tory for the representatives of
America.
The great struggle between Yale
and Oxford caused such enthusi-
asm in England and America that
no doubt intense interest would be
created if the New York Athletic
club sent team to compete for
the English championships next
year. Local athletic authorities
seem to think that the Americans
can hold their own in about 5 Of
the Ii contests which comprise the
English championship program.
They seem to think that Tilee has
an excellent chance to defeat G.. A.
Bradley in the 100-yard run, al
though Bradley is champion of
England and so second man. The
authorities concede the quarter
mile run by E. G. Breden, the Eng
lish champion, as it is not thought
that either Lee, Sands or Lyons is
fast enough to defeat the English
man. In the half mile Charles
Fitzpatrick could be pitted against
Breden with brighter prospects.
Breden's record is only 3-5 second
better than that of Fitzpatrick.
G. w. Orion has a good chance at
the mile run and the two.mile
steeplechase. In the 120-yard
hurdle it is believed that all Eng
land cannot show man that can
conquer Stephen Chase. His
friends are confident that he can
defeat Godfrey Shaw. L. P. Shell
don has already beaten Eugland's
best broad jump. George r. Gray
should win the 16-pound shot as
his record is 6 inches better than
any man in England. ]. S. Mitch
ell has an excellent chance to cap
ture the 16.pound hammer cham
pionship."

Blown Up by Dynamite.

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. A ter
rible tragedy occurred at Salisbury
township, this county, in which a
three-story brick dwelling house
was blown up by dynamite and
the occupants, Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Leim, were instantly killed. A

eral days ago he had trouble with

For twenty-five Cents-Glad to Get
Rid of Her.

ANlO VI A0Ls
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Oct. AT

"Kite" Gulliford, a young married
man, publicly sold his wife to Am
brose Draft, of Slysburg, for the
nominal sum of % cents, which
was Immediately paid and the
transfer duly made. Gulliford was
married last winter, his wife being
a divorced woman, who had been
released from her first marriage
vows by her husband being sem

comparative happiness with Guilt

and another man, known as "Cub"
Johnson, began frequenting the
house. Gossip ensued and the
couple soon separated. Not long
afterwards a truce was patched up
and the two again began living to-
gether, but yesterday the husband
came upon Draft and his wife and
demanded of Draft if he wanted
the woman. Draft answered in
the Affirmative and Gulliford then
sold his vile for % cents, and the
money was paid in the woman's
presence. Gulliford afterwards
went about Boosting of his bar
gain. which he evidently consid-
cred a good one.

CINE was killed in the collision.

SELLING HORSE ME AT.
The Butchers of Chicago to he More
Closely Watched.


Closely Watched.
CHICAGO. Oct. 4.-Health Com
missioner Reynolds, who, since his
return from Montreal, has care
fully examined into the argument
of the butchers who desire the priv.
ilege of slaughtering horses, has
about concluded the best thing the
city can do is to license one such
establishment in the stock yards
district and place an inspector over
it to see that no meat is put upon
the market for food in any form.
Several persons have been to see
me asking for licenses for the
slaughter of horses" said the COM
missioner. ~ gave them no final
answer, but sent them out to see II
they could find a place for the loca-
tion ofsuch an establishment in the
stock yard district. If their efforts
meet with success | think | will
grant a license to one of the par
ties seeking it. This plan, il start
ed, will be watched by the depart
ment to see that all the meats goes
into the rendering tanks. l am
certaiu the city ordinances are suf-
ticiently strict to make it possible
for us to prevent the sale of horse
meat for food. The difficulty has
been in finding the meat. By Ii
censlng one plant we can watch it,"

Humane association was the adj
dress of Elbridge Eeary, of New
York, in favor of introducing the
whipping post in the state to be
used on those who are cruel to
children. imprisonment, he said,
had been found to be inadequate as
a punishment. Rev. Thomas A.

The reason the Sicilian farmers live in
villages instead of on the farms they
till is found in curious survival of
medieval law Under that law tillers
of the soil We're not allowed to live upon
the lands they farmed, but were hud-
died together in villages, possibly 80
they could thereby be more easily watch
ed and kept from instruction. Sicilian
farmers have maintained the ancient
system from choice apparently. Me-
diseval customs are found in Sicily more
frequently than in any other part Of Eu-
rope. The octroi itself would not have
been submitted % so long if the Sicilian
peasants hal been as intelligent as the
rural population elsewhere. By the me
diaral custom under which the octroi
was levied cities imposed tax on I'll
food products brought into their gates.
This tax we.lt not to the national gov
ernment, bRt to defraying the expenses
of the city government itself. II i'm
poses double tax on the wretched peas
Rnt He pays taxes on the lind outside
the city. Then when he brings food for
his own use 90 his home in the village
he is met at the city line by the octroi
collector, who levies on every bushel Of
potatoes the farmer consumes in his own
family. Worst of al, the collectors are
bribed by tie rich, it is said, to let them
off comparatively free, and pluck the
poor who cannot help themselves. On
tho whole. it is no wonder the Sicilians
ravoltcd.

That Big Meteor.

II 1t was not duly recorded on ships
log, one would be inclined to class the
tale told by the captain and first officer
of the steamer Yemassee with tho sea
serpent yarns. But there it stands in
the Yemassee's logbook-the brief note
that Dec. 90. 10 miles south of Charles
ton bar, 40 minutes past in the morn
ing, the captain and his first officer saw
IAN immense meteor" The Meteor last
ed entire for 10 minutes, bearing east in
a straight line; then for 10 minutes more

time burst into hundred fragments.
more or less. 1t took 10 minutes for the
fragments to be used up and disappear,
80 that the whole phenomenon lasted
half an hour. Both the officers vouch
for this. The Yemassee is ship making
trips between New York and Charleston
There is only one point of disagree
ment between the two men about this
monstrous meteor-if it was one. The
first officer stakes his reputation for We.
racity on the sizeof the thing being equa!
to at least that Of six moons 1t must
have been as broad as the 80 ton Canadi-
an cheese at the Worlds fair. The cap
tain is more moderate in his estimate OF
the size and falls one moon. He says il
was as large us five moons. Further
more, the first officer says its rays burned
like those Of the hot sun. The fragment:
after it had burst looked like fireballs.
Hero now is nut for science to crack
Perhaps the phenomenon which the two
seamen supposed to be meteor was al
electrical appearance.

With much regret we announce the
death of Dea. Stanley s. Lyon, which
occurred early Saturday morning,
The deceased was born in the town
of Peru, Nov. !, 1919. In early
manhood he married Jane Barnard,
who survives him. They brought up
a family of children but three Of
whom now lives s. j. Of Tampa,
Florida, Rev. j. S. of Fair Haven
and Mrs. G. c. Fits of Brattleboro.
One son gave his life for his country
at the battle of the Wilderness. In
early married life he settled in the
town of Winhall, at Winhall Hollow
and resided there many years much
esteemed by his neighbors and towns
men. About twenty-three years ago
he moved to this village, but after a
few years residence went on to a
nearby farm.
On the 9th of February, 1859 the
deceased and his wife and our esteem
ed neighbor, VIM. A. Albee, were
baptised at this place by Rev. Chas.
Coon and were received into the Zap
fist church. On the 9th day of April
1861 Mr.. Lyon was chosen a deacon
of his church which Office he held up
to his death.
Stanley S, Lyon was mau Of
strong personal character, in some re-
spects stern and positive, yet full of
humor and native wit that cropped
out upon all occasions and rendered
him an agreeable guest of either So
ciety or home life. He took an intel
ligent interest in all public affairs and
was q pillar in his church of subsl an
tial dimensions, and one that will be
sadly missed. He was an honest,
upright citizen who never had it in
his heart to wrong neighbor, friend
or anyone else. For these qualities
he enjoyed the esteem of all who
knew him from early life to the day
of his death. The writer who pays
him this just tribute of respect does
so after an intimate, personal and
business acquaintance of over thirty
years. Peace to his memory !

Joshua Barnard, ESQ.,, of Winhall
Hollow, whose serious illness we an
nounced last week, died Friday eve
ming. Mr.. Barnard was highly es-
teemed citizen of his town, having
represented it in the state legislature
and held numerous town offices. He
was well to do farmer, good neigh
Dor, kind father and husband and
enjoyed the esteem of a wide circle of
acquaintance. He leaves only a wife
of the family, having buried all his
children, the last being the wife Of
Hon. Joseph G. Martin of Manches-
ter Centre. His remains were taken
to Manchester and placed in the re-
ceiving tomb and will probably find a
last resting place in Manchester's
beautiful cemetery, Dellwood.
Mrs. Barnard, who was i'll at the
same time, is improving and likely to
recover. She has the sympathy of a
large circle of friends and neighbors
in her sad affection.
