Nav Ger the Boy.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 3O.-The
police on Saturday discovered clue
which led them to suspect an Italian
organ grinder named Rocel os kidnap-
ping little Eddie Brotherton, of Ash
lev, who disappeared from his home
last Friday. They found three school
children VINO claim they saw the organ
grinders little girl, child of IL, pull
ing the coy along the street. Detec:
tlYes were put on the track of Rocel
and they located him in Scranton. He
and his daughter are now locked up IL
this city. The quarters where the ar
rest was made were thoroughly search.
ed, but there was no trace of the miss
ing boy. Rocel was questioned and
denied seeing the child. His daughter
admitted she took the child from a
group of children. Later, when talk
ing with Mayor Nichols, she said she
had never seen the little fellow, but
she coatradicted herself seYera! times
when explaining the movements Of
herself and her father When the
father was searched he had SIS in bills

tectives hope to compel the Italian to
confess the whereabouts of the boy.

RowIt DID the Farmers Up

Here is the plaiu statements OF how
the financial legislation Congress has
been giving the country for tie past
twenty years did up the farmer. # the
fa.ners could have sold their wheat
crop in 1892 for the same price they re-
ceived per n1s ael in 1873. they would
nave received for it S563. 100000 in
stead of the S342 100000 they did re-
ceive,-loss S22l,0O0,000. Over produc-
tion did not do it, because legislation
was the cause. If the producers OF
corn could have disposed of their crop
in 1889 for the same per bushel they
did in 1874, they would have 81 ,0O8 600,
QUO instead of S597,OO0, 0,000-loss S3ll,
100000. Then, again, the supply had
nothing to do with the reduction OF
price. The demand was also, good but
money had appreciated and labor and
products deprecated. The cotton crop
of 1888, if it olld have been sold at the
sam- price per pound as was received
in 1873, would have put in the pockets
of the planters oftne South $4,000
900, instead of S292,00O,000, the amount
the crop brougat that year. Enls
shows as plain as the nose ca the face
the difference in prices with free silver
and cheap money, and gold standard
and dear money.

GEORGIA Wins.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The Supreme
Court Of the United States affirmed
the validity and constitrtionality of the
law passed by the Georgia Legislature
October 16, 1889, providing for the tax
alton Of the INDICATED, traasitory prop
erty of the railroads OF that State. By
the terms OF this law, the property Of

among the counties through which it
runs. IN the proposition that the num-
Der of miles in each county bore to the
full mileage of the read In the State.

Tha Dlsrensary In Court.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. Jan. 29.-The dis
peosary Ia IS to-. day in the throes of a
judicial investigation. The highest
Court in the State at last has an oppor-
tunlty of deciding the constitutionality
of the iniquitous law. Whether it will
do so or not remains to be seen. It can
put an end to the ferment and excite
ment in the State. The final decision
will be watched with an interest hereto
fore unknown ii this State.
This morning when the Court met
therejwas very large crowd of visitors,
anc all of the seats around the desk for
counsel were occupied. Among those
actively engaged in the case are: At
torney General Buchanan, Col. 4. W.
Boyd for the State; Judge Melton, e..
a. Woods, G. S. Nettles, j. p. Z. Bryan,
Jas. Simons, John McMaster and Law
son D. Melton against the constitution
atty Of the law.
Mr.. Buchanan suggested that the
new law had changed the phase Of the
case and that it might be loss Of time
to futher discuss the present issue. He
however said;he had zo;motion to make
to dismiss the cases as he was anxious
to have the constitutionality Of the law
decided as soon as possible.
The Court said that of course they
had 10 power to hear any case in which
a final Judgment would be speculative.
But they had unanimously decided to
go on and hear full argument, reserY-
ing to themselves the right hereafter to
refuse to pass on the questions raised
if it should appear to the Court that
this judgement would be only specu-
lative IN effect.
The Court having announced this 1t
would hear argument the counsel ar
ranged the time and order. Col 4. W..
Boyd opened with statement of the
case; Mr.. G. A. Woods, Darlington, one
hour; Col Boyd in reply for ap oelIants;
Mr.. G. s. Nettles, of Darlington, one
hour; Judge Melton was given two
hours; Mr. j. P. K. Bryan fifteen mii-
utes, and Attorney General Buchanan
to conclude for the State. The argu.
ments were all Of a very high order and
commanded the undivided attention of
the Court. No questions were asked
and the Court retained printed copies
of all of the arguments including those
of Messrs Simons aud McMaster, which
were not orally delivered.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 81
Deputy Sheriff Yinzsnt left tonight for
st. Louis with requisltion papers for
Mrs. Townsend and her daughter, Miss
Armstrong, who have been Vlctlmizing
the people of this city for the last three
weeks. Their scheme was to receive
goods from merchants on trial, to be re.
turne If not satisfactory. They IN
yariably kept the goods, but never paid
for them. When they skipped q few
days ago, they had secured goods to the
amount of nearley $1,000, nearly all of
which trey had sold for less than half
their value. It is thought that the wo-
men, who are said to be very handsome
were decoys for cartain Of the crooks
who infested the city prior to and dug
ing week of the prize fight. The wo-
men ran an alleged boarding house
while here, and it now develops that
cores pondent MatthewsoD, of the
Boston Journal, was drugged and rob-
bed near their place. Matthewson is
crazey from the effects of the drug.
Three men were with the women and
disappeared with them. The women
have been arrested in st. Louis, but
will fight eXtradition.

RENUAM APPLiIDED

RIO De JANEIRO, Jan. 3l.-Ine &C.
ton of Admiral Benbam in protecting
American ships in their effort to land
at the Wharves in this harbor has bad
salutary effect. English and mer-
chant ships of other nationalities, are
now coming up to their Wharves with
out any sign of molestation on the part
of the insucgens vessels.
Admiral Benham's bold stand against
interference with vessels of his country
is generally applauded. The exchange
of shots between the insurgent and
government forces have practically
CEASED during the past tWenty-fou-
hours. This is the first time for months
5Ga5 day has passed when there was
not more or less firing. The unofficial
warning which Admiral Benham gave
to Admiral De Cana that firing upon
the WhsrVeS for th3 mere purpose OF
creating q blockade by terror must
cease, has been needed All the for
eigners are delighted with the result Of
the American admlral's conduct.
The commanders of the foreign fleets
held a conference today to discuss the
action of Admiral Benham. aod reso-
lutions were adopted fully endorsing
the course that be pursued.
Admiral De Cana feels aggr;eved at
ed dniral Benham. He sent g letter to
the American admiral today, protest
ing against the ostentatious manner
ID which the American commander
had humiliated him He says that be
will yield for time to superior force
but that as he vas compelled to allow
American ships to come. to their
wharves, he has officially notified the
representatives of all other nations
that they may do the same. He de.
clares that the insurgents have held the
harbor for five months and says that
now if the shore batteries fire on him
be Will be unable to reply for fear of
hurting neutral ships and also be un-
able to protect his men. Admiral De
Cana also sent a letter to the officers
who had gathered in conference to dis
cuss Admiral Benham's actor, asking
that he might be per nitted to lombard
the city without notice. No answer
was sent to him, but Admiral Benham
said later that he would grant the in
surgent admiral permission to lombard
the city, but he would require that
forty.eight hours notice to be given so
that non-com batants would be able to
seek shelter.

and especially with the section to
which you nave invited my attention.
l ind nodhing IN tee act in question, or
in any other act of tle Legislature, re-

aware OF any other law requiring me
to give you or Mr.. 2. J. keryin prom
ises as to my contemplated Official, or

assert that it is incorrect, though in

believe what one wishes to believe.
