STILL AT LARGE.
No Immediate Prospect OF the Capture
of Sherman Waggoner.


of Sherman wsggoner.
MITCHELL, Ind. Jan. fisherman
Waggoner, the Martin county wife
murderer, is still at large, and a tele-
gram yesterday from Shoals says that
there is no immediate prospect of his
capture. He is armed with two re-
volvers and a repeating rifle, and he is
supposed to be in hiding in the hills.
Waggoner was accused of causing the
death of one or more Of his children,
and his wife prosecuted him for bru-
taIity. She then left him and returned
to her fathers house. Waggoner fol-
lowed and deliberately shot her
dead. It is even said that after she
fell he dragged her several yards to
make sure that life was extinct, after
which he went to the home of his par
ents and boasted of what he had done.
His father advised him to rapid flight
to escape lynching. Before leaving he
said that he would never be taken
alive

A CHICAGO man secured a divorce on
the ground that he was led to the altar
blindfolded and welded to a woman he
had never seen. He parted from her
on the day after the marriage, and it
appears that she was as anxious for the
separation as he. Under the circum-
stances the court thought it proper to
sever the ties that bound n reluctant
groom to an equally reluctant bride.
Their friends propose to introduce
them to each other, in the hope that
an affection may spring up between
them. If they had thought of this ex-
pedient before the'marriage, the divorce
might have been avoided

THE highest court in Holland has
handed down a decision directly con-
trary to the law as interpreted in this
country. Criminal action was brought
against a man for kissing a young wom-
an against her will, The final decision
is that Ito kiss a person is not an
offense, as it is in the nature of a mark
of sympathy" Doubtless many will
agree with this'opinion, but the majori-
ty will cling to the good old-fashioned
belief that kissing should go only by
favor. This is the view of courts in the
United States, and fines ranging from
one dollar up to the thousands have
been imposed for infractions of the rule

The Effects are Far Reaching.

At a meeting of the Pittsburg Coal
Exchange few days ago resolutions
were adopted earnestly protesting
against the meddling with the sugar
industry of Louisiana, as contem.
plated by the Wilson bill. One ma.
turally wonders why the coal men or
any other Pittsburg industry should
be interested in southern sugar en-.
terprise, especially when so far re.
moved from this locality. But the
reasons will be more fully compre-
hended when it is understood that
Pittsburg coal operators ship annual.
ly to New Orleans between 25,000,.
600 and 3O,000,OOO bushels of coal,
by far the greater portion of which
enters into sugar Industry, and until
the tariff on sugar lie definitely settled
they cannot with any degree of GER
tainty expect much from that section
and they don't propose to ship their
coal there with no prospect that there
will be money to pay for it when i
arrives. And thus it is seen how fal
reaching the sugar bounty or tarif
becomes. Aud this is not all. Th,
coal shipped to these southern point
is transported in fiat boats snt
