A MUCH-ABUsED RECEPTACLE.

The contribution box In the electric cars is the receptacle for all the battered beaten, mutilated coins in the community. When man has an old coin that he can t pass off on anybody he passes it off on the innocent and unsuspecting fare box. This is q great imposition on the trustful, hope ful. dear little thing, and marks the man who does it as the meanest of men. The little box keeps its mouth ever open in dumb protest against such injustice, but without avail. A look at the coin taken from the box will certainly convince one of the truthfulness of the doctrine of total de- pravity. Here is dime split half in two, here is counterfeit nickle, here is another with hole in it, here is a copper check good for glass of beer, here bangle, there piece of -foil, etc. But these dead beats will syme day reap their reward. Not long since government detective ar- rested a man in this city who passed off a counterfeit dollar on dummy conductor. This was the missing link that completed the chain of evidence and the man is now in the penitentiary,

York, touching the status of aged members whose looges are defunct, were reported on and adopted.
 The foreign reports of the order were re- ported in fine condition, and $500 was donated to extend the work In each Eu- ropean country.
 Tho report of the committee adversely to allowing lodges the privilege of making a minimum benefit of $1 per week for lim- ited time and au increase to $2 afterwards was laid over fJr another year.
 The judiciary committee reports that support of the widows and the main tenance of orphans of deceased Odd Eel lows is not a charity, but legal obliga. tion, and that in the discharge of this sa- cred duty grand lodge has full power to make reasonable and necessary assessments upon the subordinate lodges to provide and maintain homes for such dependents.
 The special committee ou the reported misappropriation of funds in Fargo, Oak. |, reported that the Fargo local committee had received SIS, 900 and disbursed to the brethren $S000 and that the disbursement was not to sufferers by fire, but to those who were al bic to at once donate the same to their ledge, to be used in payment of mortgages on lodge property. The actual relief extended was only about s22OO, and the balancs was used as above. The com- mittee found that the action of the Fargo brethren was censurable in the highest de- gree and ordered the grand lodge of North
 
 given to relieve actual distress-the orig inal purpose of the call-be at once re- turned to the donors.
 The peculiar feature of this case was that the grand lodge of North Dakota found that it was misapprop priation of the do- nation, but took no active steps 10 force a restitution of the money, and the report adopted this day censures in emphatic terms this apparent indifference to the in- justice done to the real sufferers, as well as those whose liberality was so fraternally shown toward them.
 At the close of the afternoon session 1.-the Kansas matter'' was reached, but the body adjourned before wadng into 1t. This is a question in which the Kansas brethren are deeply concerned. To them 1t involves their ownership or control of property valued al S100, ,000, and naturally every Odd Fellow in Kansas, as well as the civil courts of the country, are looking anxiously for it's termination.
 At the third annual meeting of the Odd Fellows National Press association, held today, the title of the organization was changed to the Odd Fellows Intern ational Press association, and the following off cers were elected for the ensuing year:
 A. L. Voorhis of Topeka, Ks., presi- dent; John Reynolds, Indianapolis, vice. president; John Bourlet, Concord, N. H., secretary and treasurer.

NOT ANXIOUS TO RESUME.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 21.--A num- Der of the more prominent manufacturers who were seen today regarding the mill situation were all or one mind. They said that they did not propose to start the mills at the old rate of wages unless the market went tU 3h cents, and they were convinced that the demand was strong enough to carry off the product at 8 cents. They stated further that they were not anxious to resume at present at a reduction, as the trading proved to them that the business was doll and that they could not dispose of any quantity of cloth at the current quota

 JACKSON, Miss, Sept. Ex-Governor Stone today received from the governor of Alabama one of the $20 special warrants issued by that state in 1867.
 It is g much closer resemblance to United States currency than that issued by hissis- sippi.
 It is exactly the size of United States currency, and the color is precisely the same as green backs. One of these bills was submitted to United States Attorney. General Stanbufy, who in a long opinion said there was no violation of law in the issue. The principal point on which the bills were referred was as to whether they were taxable.

ANOTHER ARREST
In Connection With the Cooper Assas- sination ill Tuskaloosa County
 Made in This City.

relation feud seems to have broken out in Tuskaloosa county, which has already resulted in the assassination of one man and the serious wou nding of another.
 One week ago yesterday E. Cooper, who lived near Northport, was shot from am bush and killed, his body being perforated with large sized buckshot.
 In the settlement in which Cooper lived a large number of families were related to each other. About three years ago fam fly quarrel took place, which ended in a feud.
 Six weeks ago notices were received by a number of families in this settlement or dering them to leave the state under the penalty of the consequences. No attention was paid to these notices, and as a result a short while afterwards one recipient was shot and little later Cooper was assassi- mated.
 For being implicated in this murder Dock Bingham, Joe Bingham and Henry Grammar were arrested several days ago in Tuskaloosa.
 Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriffs Wes and Charles Garner of Tuskaloosa arrested in this city 5. M. Clements, who is charged also with having been implicated in the crime. The arrest of Clements makes the fourth prisoner now held in custody for the assassination of E. Cooper.
 The murdered man and others, it seems, came to this city as United States witnesses against s. M. Clements and others, charged with counterfeiting, and this also is said to have figured considerably in the case.
 Another warrant was issued against Hasey Griffin, the Bingham boys, s. M. charging them with conspiracy to murder E. and Jack Cooper

 COLUMBIA, s. O., Sept. 21.-John and Jasper Atkinson, white, were hanged at Winnsboro, 8. o., today for the murder of William Clamp, also white, on Feb ruary 19, 1893. They died without a tremor, but neither denied or admitted their guilt. The murder was an atrocious one. They killed Clamp in order that John might live with Clamps wife and Jasper with his daughter, and between them divide up what little property the dead man had. The governor thought of committing their sentence to life imprison- ment, but had he done so a mob was ready to go to the jail and lynch them.

THE SITUATION AT MAssILLoN.

MAssILLoN, O., Sept. 21.-Massillon is full of miners this morning, discussing the situation at every street corner. The oper- ators had suggested that if the miners the proffered 60 it could probably be ar- ranged. The union officers wanted 75 cents, however, and said the proposition of the operators was not sufficiently favora- ble to justify the calling of a mass meeting. State Arbitrator Bishopis actively at work. One operator stated that 300 negroes had started for Massillon from Birmingham this morning, but this was denied by an- other operator.
 The uegroes above referred to were to have been sent to MassiIlon, but owing to a misunderstanding they failed to get off as was reported to western papers by corre- spondenls. .&
