The Ohio law requiring all goods
made by convict labor to be so labeled
has been declared unconstitutional
by the Circuit Court OF that State.
This is an interesting phase of the
labor question and one that is caus-
ing trouble in most of the States.
Prison labor is denounced by the
-workingmen's unions because it com
petes with the labor of free men
and as it is not paid for directly by

Mr.. HERBERT BRIGHT, of Brock
dale, England, relative of the cele,
brated English statesman OF that
name, is visitor to Washington.
Mr.. Bright is largely concerned in
the manufacture of carpets and tex
tiles, and is an interested observer
of the progress of tariff legislation in
this country. To reporter of the
Post Mr.. Bright said. The manu-
featuring industries OF England are
in a very bad way. Since the pass
age OF the Mckinley act we have
lost great deal of the trade formerly
enjoyed with the United States, and
and lately there has been a heavy
falling off OF the trade between Eng
land and India and China. But we
do not close down our mills when
trade falls off as is done in this
country, preferring to run at small
loss rather than cease work entirely.
There are men in our employ whose
fathers and grandfathers worked
for the firm, and 1 could not bear
to see them thrown out of employ
ment. We have been buoyed up in
England by the hope Of the passage
of the Wilson bill, but since my
arrival in the country, only ten days
ago, l have learned that the chances
of enacting tariff law on the lines o.
the Wilson bill seem very gloomy
That is something that is very puzzl.
ing to an Englishman. We heard
across the Atlantic that the bad times
in the United States during 1893
were due to the Mckinley act, and
that we were quite ready to believe
Now we are astounded to learn that
the bad times are due to the tear o.
the repeal Of the same act.

INDICTED AT ST. LOUIS.
The Grand Jury Returns Bills Against an
Investment Company and Postmaster.


ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20.-Among the in
dictments handed down by the federal
grand jury yesterday were those of
Messrs. Mcdonald and Wells, president
and secretary respectively, of the Guar
antee Investment Co., Of Nevada, Mo.
The grand jury did not indict Johnson,
Slattery and Stevenson, but Col. Clop-
ton, United States district attorney,
says that he will file information
against them for violation OF the fed
eral lottery law.
The grand jury indicted S. r. Baker,
C. II. Melieel and w. l.. Scott, for a con-
spiracy to defraud the government.
This is the Columbian stamp case,
which last spring was dismissed on de-
murrer of the defendants, that the in
dictments charged no offense to the
federal law. Baker was postmaster at
Shrewsbury. Mo-, and the indictment
charges that Melzeel and Scott, who
were in the stamp business
in st. Louis, offered him great
per cent of the value of all the Colum.
bian stamps he would cancel for them.
They are charged with bribng him,
and he with accepting the bribe, the
whole procedure being, IL is charged, a
conspiracy, whose effect was to be the
unlawful increase of Bakers salary as
postmaster and the dcfrauding of the
government to that extent.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


Holly Springs, Oct. 15-There was an
attempt at Jail delivery here at $40
this morning that resulted in the fatal
wounding of a bad negro, broken
headed iailer and badly scared dem
tist. DR.. A. b. Ross dentist had been
summoned to pull a tooth for Lucius
Taylor, a white prisoner. In the same
cell with Lucius were Bob Kennedy and
Lee Shinault, negroes, and after Lueius
came out into the corridor and the door
was being closed, the negroes threw
themselves against it and pushed 1t
open. Bob Kennedy grappled with the
tailor, Melzar Cochran, exclaiming;
"B-G-, you've got to kill me this
morning. Cochran is strong and plucky,
and held his own against his powerful
antagonist. Lucius Taylor struck at
Bob Kennedy with a small stick, which
did no harm, and then the other negro,
Lee Shinault, struck Cochran over the
head with large stick, knocking him
to his knees. Taylor succeeded in
getting Cochran's pistol out and shot
Kennedy twice in the abdomen and
head. DR.. Daniel pronounees the
wounds fatal. The other negro ran into
his cell after striking the blow.

Child Whipped to Death.

Meridian, Oct. 1s.-Reports reached
this city last night of most brutal and
fendish act, committed by man named
viii 7. Martin, in Clarke County, near
Energy, which resulted in the death Of
his infant child.
1t seems that this monster became so
enraged at the baby that he whipped it
most cruelty and numerically with a
heavy leather strap continuing his mur-
derous work until the little thing was
thrown into convulsions. While he was
thus applying the lash with ell his
might, the mother of the babe, with
tears in her eyes, STOOD by and pleaded
that her child be spared from further
torture, but the inhuman brute, threat.
enlng to kill her II she interfered, con.
tinued to vent his madness upon the
body of the baby, already beaten into
insensibility. Finally, after whipping
IL until life was extinct, he placed the
child on the bed and walked away from
the house, since which time he has not
been seen.
The Indignation of the people in the
nelghoorhood was fully aroused when
they were informed of Martins brutal
conduct, and posses were organized and
'ne woods and surrounding country
secured in an effort to capture him. The
murderer is still at large.
In 1883 Martin, together with man
named Hood, lynched negro near San.
aersville, in Jones County. for which he
was afterwards pardoned by Gov. Lowry,
lie was convicted at the last term of the
Federal Court at Jackson for Illicit deal
ing In whisky and sentenced to term
in the county Jail.

WEATHERFoRD, Tex, Oct. 2O.-A re-
port reached here yesterday afternoon
that the west bound passenger train
on the Texas Pacific railway, which
left here at 1890 yesterday morning,
was held up and robbed by four men
near Gordon about noon. At point
about miles this side of Cor
don four men, unmasked, ap
preached the section gang and
forced them to obstruct the road and
flag the train as it approa ched, and
when the train was stopped the BAN
dts forced the express messenger to
open the door of the car. They also
forced the section men to 90 into the
car with sledge hammer and try to
batter the combination off the express
safe, but their efforts to open the safe
were unfruitful. The messengers way
safe was battered open and what money
there was in 1t was taken by the
robbers. The amount secured. Il is
estimated, runs anywhere between $500
and $1,000. To-day being pay day at
Thurber for the large number of hands
that work at the mines, there was in
the combination safe $50, 600 consigned
to the Pacific Coal Co., which was Ia
pay off the hands.
