JAS. ROGERS MURDERED.

His Two Sons Charged with the Crime.
MOBILE, Feb. ia special to the
Register from st. Stephens, Ala, says:
James Rogers, of Koenton neighbor-
hood, Washington county, disappeared
January 8th. When inquiry was made,
his sons, Allen, aged Is years, and
Benton, aged Is, said he had gone to
Texas. The boys had considerable
money, which they spent freely. They
aroused suspicion, and a search of the
premises resulted in finding Rogers
corpse in a shallow grave under the
kitchen floor. Blood on the wall of the
bed room showed where the murder
had been committed. An inquest was
held, and a verdict rendered that the
death was caused by blows from an
x by parties unknown, but Allen
and Ben were arrested and held for the
murder, without bail. They were
lodged in Jail at St. Stephens.

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF EX-
SECRETARY FOSTER.

FosToRIA, O., Feb. IA The report
of the financial standing of Hon. Chas.
Foster and Of Foster & Co., has been
made to the committee Of creditors by
the expert accountants. The liabilities
of the bank are shown to be $771, POI,
of which $469, 500 is as endorsers. The
appraised assets were 1913, 892, but in
the six months since the assignment
the real value of the assets has shrunk
to $43, $40, of which SIG, 300 is classed
as still doubtful, consisting of bills re-
ceivable and unsettled accounts. The
personal liabilities of Chas. Foster are
$8O8, 255. The appraised assets are
1914 259. But from this sum must be
subtracted the amount put up by Eos
ter as collateral, which reaches $115,-
1876, leaving his net assets at 1898, 773:

FOREIGN NEWS.
Resolutions Adopted by the National
Federation of England.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-In the great con-
ference at Portsmouth of the National
Liberal Federation, resolutions were
adopted today, declaring in favor of
the one-man One-vOte system, a reform
of the registration laws; the payment
of members of the House of Commons,
the holding of all Parliamentary cleo
tions on the same day, and direct pop
ular control of liquor licenses.
One of the resolutions adopted de-
clared that the House of Lords, by its
habitual disregard Of popular will, had
become an unbearable abuse, and as
sured the ministry of the enthusiastic
support of the Federation on any
measures that the government may
adopt to secure to the House of Com
mons paramount authority in the
State. The conference closed with a
great public meeting. More than 5, 1000
persons we're present. The principal
speech was made by Sir William Har-
court, Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The Earl of Dudley, who offered the
contracting out amendment of the Liza
bility bill in the House Of Lords, in
speaking in Crewe this evening refer
red to the change, which the House Of
Commons on the motion of Henry
Cobb, made last evening in this amend
ment. 1t would be out of the question.
he said, that the House Of Lords should
recognize an amendment carried by a
majority of only two.

CROKER ON THE TARIFF.
He Says, Like Hancock, That 1t is
Merely a Local Issue.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. 14.-Rich-
ard Croker, the Tammany leader, who
is making a short stop here, in an in
terview said that, in the language of
General Hancock, the tariff was simply
a local issue. He thinks it is unfor-
tunate that the Democratic Congress-
men are not allowed to vote for pro-
lection when necessary to the interest
of their districts.
He fears that the removal of the
sugar tax will lose Louisiana to the
Democratic party. If sugar is made
free, he says, the income tax must be,
come a part Of the financial system,
and he fears the effect of the tax on the
Democracy of New York. He believes
every American industry should be
moderately protected. He thinks that
the present tariff bill is too severe, and
says if it were possible for the Repub-
licans to pare down the Mckinley bill
to a moderate basis they would carry
future elections and be hard to dis
lodge.
Mr.. Croker says Congress should
either pass or defeat the tariff bill at
once, a something must be done to re
lieve business of the uncertainty that
now exists.

certlf :ates, having now on hand of the
latter $497 $50. There sno likelihood,
however, of the treasury resuming the
issue OF gold certificates, as there is no
good reason to believe the gold in the
treasury will long remain above the
800, 600, 900 mark. 1t is a little over
81 00O, 900 above the reserve now, and
with less than 81, 0UO, 900 of gold to be
received from the new bond purchase.
If it is the intention to keep the gold
reserve intact, it is the general belief
In treasury circles that a new issue of
$50, 600, 600 in bonds will have to be re-
sorted to within the next few months,
unless Congress comes to the rescue, as
the expenditures continue to ruiz ahead
of receipts at the rate Of Sc, 900, 600 a
month.
The treasury balance today was
$137, 519, $50, of which $1O4, 435, O2O was
in gold. Assistant Secretary Curtis
said today he hoped to be able to have
some of the new bonds ready for deliv-
cry n New York by Saturday next.
@. L. Kicker, of Chicago, did not file
his amended petition in the Circuit
Court of the district asking for a writ
of mandamus to compel the Secretary
of the Treasury to turn over to him the
$50, 900, 900 of bonds, nor did his coun-
sci appear for him, to day. Who his
legal representatives are is unknown,
Kicker absolutely declining to make
their identity public.

Ohio law, a large assessment for the

terest for the welfare of Fostoria enter

The difference between liabilities and

extraordinary amount of endorsement

inability of other banks which we're

THE MISSISSIPPI CYCLONE.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. IA The cy clone
of yesterday passed through a sparsely
settled section. 1t crossed the Central
Railroad between Beauregard and
M~artinsville, two small stations. From
there its direction was through several
inner counties which have no railroad
communication. On this account only
meagre details have been received.
Hewitt and Georgetown, two small
inner towns, are reported to have been
blown completely away. The wind
was very high and leveled everything
in its path. The following persons are
reported seriously injured in that
vicinity: Mrs Flynn, Mr.. Quarles and
child, and John Keller.

CASUALTIES OF THE STORM.
Reports Being Received From all Sec
tions of Persons Killed--Thousands
of Cattle Frozen to Death.

DALLAS, Texas, Feb. 13.-The Their
morning. The wind went down to a
moderate pace during the night. The
ground was frozen to, day. Passengers
from Kansas, Oklahoma, the Cherokee
Strip, and Indian Territory to-day re.
port the most terrible blizzard on rec
ord. A great many lives have been
lost and the suffering from the cold is
intense. The greatest loss has been
among the Shippers, who are poorly
prepared for the winter in the way Of
houses and clothing.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 13.-RepOrts re-
ceived here today from Oklahoma and
Indian Territory make it almost GER
tain that at least thirty lives were lost
during the great storm of Sunday.
Many of the isolated hOmesteads, where
the families were poorly prepared for
winter, cannot be heard from for days,
and possibly weeks, and there is reason
to believe that thirty will not repre-
sent the total number of the dead. In
Western and Southwestern Kansas
there was great suffering, and it is
probable that in o than n sod
house dead bodies will some day be
found. The worst of the storm was
over in the Missouri valley today. AS
it is growing warmer and is cloudy, it
is likely that the snow will melt Don
and cause floods in many streams.
GUTHRIE, O. T., Feb. 13.-The worst
of the great blizzard seems to be over
here and business is again being re-
sumed. Four trains that have been
snow bound near Red Rock, in the
Cherokee Strip for thirty hours, came
in early this morning.
Besides two families reported frozen
near Cross, an unknown man was
found near the Ponca Indian agency,
frozen stiff. Near Saltwater a man
was found frozen to death under his
house, and south Of Cleve, in county
o, a family Of three persisted. Two
TOnkawa Indians are reported to have
been found dead in a hut. Near Ana
darka three Indian children who we're
caught out in the storm persisted.
There are rumors of many other
fatalities, but so far they have not been
confirmed.
Scores of cattle and horses persisted
in the Strip and in the big pastures in
the Usage and Kiowa reservations. The
number of dead cattle will reach the
thousands. The temperature did not
reach as low az on January 23d, but
the wind and sleet were so bad that
caught out could make 10 re
sistance.

A Fortune Of S2o,ooo DWlndled Away
and the Widow is in the Poor House.
CAMDEN, N. j., Feb. 3.-The case of
Henry George against John 7. Wood
hull, in the Camden civil courts, was
settled to day. Henry George, the
plaintiff, is the well known single tax
advocate, and the author of the book,
Progress and Poverty" Some years
ago George Bowers, an eccentric old
resident Of Ancora, Camden county,
died, leaving about SIS, 900 or $50, 900,
the greater part of which he willed to
Mr.. George for the dissemination of
his book.
The Western relatives of the deceased
man objected to the money going for
such a purpose, and went into the
Court of Chauncery to prevent the be-
quest, claiming that as the book to be
thus disseminated struck at existing
law, the money could not be devoted
to that purpose.
Vice Chancellor Bird decided in favor
Of the opponents Of Henry George, but
the latter carried the case to a higher
court as a last resort, where the de,
cisiOn was reversed.
In the meantime, the original for
tune of $50, 900 was reduced by court
and counsel fees to less than half that
amount, Then other tedious litigation
arose, which further shrunk the sum
to a few hundreds Finally il reached
the Camden Circuit Court with but
5000 left.
The widow of the man who left
George the money, not being able to
obtain even her dover, was obliged to
go to the county amshouse, where she
died of a broken heart, some months
ago.
During the progress of the litigation
Mr.. George offered to let the widow
have a generous share Of the legacy,
but the other heirs were unwilling to
agree to such a charitable use of any
portion of the money.

HAaERsTowN, Md, February 13.-
Rudolph Zeigler shot and instantly
killed John Sautlers and fatally
wounded Christian Baurly at the Zeig-
Ter homestead, about four miles from
Cherry Run, W. Va, at 10 o'clock this
morning. Sautlers and Baurly were
on their way to a store near by and
trespassed on Zeigler's place by a road
on which Zeigler had an injunction
granted prohibiting the use of it as a
public highway. Zeigler ordered the
men to turn back and as they turned
to retrace their steps it is alleged Zeig
Ter drew a revolver and fired one shot
at Sautler which took fatal effect. An
other shot directed at Baurly wounded
him, but not fatally, it is thought.
Zeigler took the train at Cherry Run
and going to Berkeley springs, gave
himself up to the authorities.

exactly what Judge Hines did
voted for that bill. We want to tell
our brethren of the press that Mr..

for the "farm labor" bill. Tote fair,

Populists aided in the repeal of the
election laws, and to Senator Stew
lrt belongs the credit of defeating
he so-called force bill. There has
been no saving IN this administra-
lion. 1t is another ''billion-dollar
congress-" and more, too, as the ap-
preparation bills will disclose.
The democratic party since it came
nto power, as admitted by President
Cleveland, precipitated the greatest
panic of modern times in order to
force by unfair means the repeal of the
Sherman law. 1t has eliminated the
use of silver as money metal, and
lssued in times of peace $50,000,000
interest bearing bonds.
In detail, the democratic party has,
during its brief reign, created a de-
structive panic; issued $50,000,00O
interesting bearing bonds; destroyed
state rights; increased public expand-
lures, and has prostituted the pub
lie service to the benefits of mo.
nopoly.
These are the fruits Of democracy
and for such it should be held to
