People Who Novor Travel.
A prominent Pittsburg passenger
| agent, in a conversation with reporter
Of that city, gave a few interesting facts
relative to the everyday experience Of
the average city passenger man, which
those not directly connected with the
business know nothing about. He said:
ut is singular fact tho number of
people who visit our office daily and tho
curious questions they ask with regard
to railroad rates, etc., when very often
they have no notion whatever Of leaving
, the city and as a matter Of fact have not
travelled any worth mentioning. For six
years there has been a very singular char
acter who has made an annual visit TO
this Office. have no idea from whoncs
he cometh or whittier he goeth, but he
always asks the selfsame questions and
goes away apparently satisfied with tho
information he has received, alwaye
expect him In the spsingtime, generally
about the 1st Of April. when the sums
rays grow warmer.
"Then my quaint old friend comes to
see me. ! should judge him to be at
least 80 years Of age. He is stooped and
feeble, with hair az whits as snow, but

man would tell his story, Il might have
a tinge Of pity in II. Perhaps no has O
son or daughter In the Hub CITY whom it
has been his cherished hope TO aee for all
these years.
"The biggest out and out nuisance we
have to deal with are persons who como

FLORENCE IS EXCITED.
The Mem Who Took tIac Arnory
Gums Arrested.
FLORENCE, s. G., April THE
citizens of Florence have been
greatly startled by the annouce-
ment that the men who took the
guns from the armory here Fri
day last and participated in the
pursuit of the constables would
bo arrested hy the militia. There
was a disposition, at first, to re.
slst but tho mild methods adopt
ted by the officers induced the
men to acquiesce in the action
taken. The mon who took the
guns were summoned to the
courthouse where Colonel N. &
Evans, commanding in the ab-
senco of General Farley, had
established his headquarters.
They assembled there about
10 a. Ill. and conferred with
Colonel Evans and Major Joseph
Wardlaw; they were asked for
their names and q roll was made.
The roll was then read with the
request that those who had en-
tered the armory and taken
guns would respond as their
names were called.
The following five men re-
sponded: e. r. Douglas, It. T..
Wallace, j. w. Hammond, J. e
Pcndergast and e. p. Powley,
all Of whom are merchants.
Colonel Evans then made a
short address.
Ho said that martial law was
in force and that he was order
ed to arrest those gentlemen un-
er it. AS it was not desired to
interfere with their business he
would place them on parole not
to leave the city limits and re-
quire them to report to Major
Wardlaw every morning at 10 a.
m. The citiZens held consulta-
tion with their lawyer and no
steps have yet been taken to or~
pose the action of the officers.
1t is possible, however, that
habeas corpus proceedings may
be begun before Chief Justice
McIver.
This will largely depend, how
ever, upon the action Of the of.
ficers and the manner in which
the arrested men are treated.
Tents for the militia have ar
rived, but there is as yet no dis
position to pitch them. The in
dications are that the force may
be withdrawn before the end of
the week and probably sooner. ,
General Farley has gone over
to Bishopville and it is thought
that his visit may have some
connection with the action Of
the Bishopville Rifles in going.

April 2, 189A.
Good Friday and Easter has
passed, the former was beautiful,
the latter was sad and foreboding,
a fit day to precede such destruc-
two freeze, right in tho midst of
the loveliest May weather we ever
witnessed in March. Mercury had
been playing between 60 and 85,
just before good Friday, when it
started on it's downward oouSss
and did not stay long en- route un-
til it reached 18 above zero, only
lacking a few degrees of being 40
lew as at any time during tho vim
tor. Owing to the extreme spring
like weather vegetation had advan.
ced considerably ahead of the ses-
son, consequently the freeze came
near making cloan sweep. Indi.
cations are that even tho small
berry crop was destroyed, as the
briars were budding to bloom.
The wheat and oat crops appear to
be badly damaged. The farmers
were getting in a great hurry to
plant, but the cold put q quistus
on their ambition.

be devised by which our States and

the resolution cites the condition of the
matters covered by the resolution, and
says that it is manifest from the census
of 1880 and 1890 that by the stopping
of the free coinage of silver and other
special legislation in favor of organized
capital, the great agricultural c1asshas
been impoverished and hopelessly In
numbered.

CLEVELAND, O, May "A mob,
numbering 5000 or 1000 men, assem-
bled in the public square this morning
and marched out on a mission of de.
structioD. On Scranton avenue every
window was broken at the Variety
Iron Works, and the entire force of
men working were driven out. At the
Epson Nut and Bolt Works the win
dows were broken, machinery smashed,
and the men forced away. Twenty
five men were driven from the Church
Furniture Works. At this point the
police char ged the mob and drove it up
the hill on jennings avenue The POI
lice then hurried to the scene from all
available sources. All the reserve force

WAR ON BRECKENRIDGE.
The Ministerial Union Sounds the Note
of Warning in Lexington.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 2.-Thepreach-
ers of Lexington have united in their
fight against Col. Breckenridges re-
nomination. To day the Ministerial
Union Of this city adopted the follow
ing, which clearly defines their attitude:
The Ministerial Union of Lexing-
ton, KY, deems it aduty of conscience
in the fear Of God to bear the following
public testimony against the re-nomi-
nation or re. election of present rep
resentative in the Congress of the
United States. On the witness stand
in the court room he has confessed that
for years he has INDUCED in a course
of adultery and hypocrisy, and in the
light of such a confession we regard
his canvass for re nomination and re-
election-frst, as an open defiance Of
all personal chastity, domestic purity,
and religious integrity; second, as an
appeal to voters to ignore personal
morality when choosing political can
didates; third, as a corrupt and cor
rupting misrepresentation of the social
order Of Jul community; fourth, as q
debaUching example Of treachery."

WASHINGTON, May 2-Mr. Bell,
(Populist of ColoradO) introduced in
the House to day a joint resolution to
provide for the appointment of a COM
mittee to devise means for the employ
ment of the idle men Of the country,
restricting immigration, to start up the
mines, increase the currency and to
prohibit the issue of interest-bearing
bonds without the authority of Con
gress. The committee is to consist Of
three Senators and five Representa-
tives, and it is made their duty to de-
wise some plan by which idle labor may
be re employed in our mines and IN
building canals or reservoirs for the
reclamation Of arid lands, or upon
transportation, telegraph or telephone
lines of the United States, or IN some
other public work, Provision is to be
made for the issue of legal tender money
commensurate with u increasing
population. Such amendments or
changes are to be made in our imml-
grafton laws as will protect and pre-
serve labor for our own workmen. The

"GAMBL1NG PURE AND SIMPLE"
The St. Louis Merchants Exchange
Startled by a Court Decision.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 2-There was
considerable alarm manifested upon
floor of the Merchants Exchange yes
terday, when the decision was an
nounced in the case Of Connors against
Black, tried at Memphis, Mo. The
court holds that in all sales made upon
margins, unless both parties actually
intend to re ceive or deliver the amount
of grain itself involved in the contract,
the transaction is gambling, pure and
simple, and the amount SO lost can be
recovered. Black bought oats through
Connors, a broker, and after putting
up S., 600 in margins to protect his
option, defaulted on further payments
and was sued by COnnors, who carried
the oats through to a loss. The finding
of the court Is based on a decision Of
the State Supreme Court.
