TIE IONA LIBRE.

NO Republics.
The iona Libre or Free Z ,ne is
and has long been constant source
Ok dissatisfaction buIIl in Mexico
and the United States. American
merchants doing business at the va
riOHs towns on the north bank of
the RIO Gra,lde claim th t their
natural trade is taken from them
by the cheaper prices for which ali
articles OF Europeans production
can be purchased On the south side
Of that river. They also claim that
the Free Zone affords special faci.i
Tics for the smuggling into the Uni
ted States of European goods.
These complaints seems to be well
fouuded, but it must Rot be suppos
cd that the people Of Mexico who
do not live within the favored belt
have no cause for complaint, for
they have. Indeed it is p!ubab
that th,re is more opposition to the
Free z ne in Mexico than there is
in the United States, and it Is not
u be taken for granted then even
the Mexican government is particu
l3rly Pleased with the existence Of
that free belt, Tie special privi-
lfges erjpyed by the people of the
Free Zone in the wsy Of Exemption
from custoin house duties are of
course the envy of the rest Of the
people of the republic, and his
alone would make it undesirable.
But there are other objections TO

FOR IMPROVEMENT
Merchants Waging War
on Bad PaVements.
Prospects That Bush Street and Van

The Merchants Association Is getting along
admirably in its crusade against bad pave

the association, but nevertheless 1t is succeed
Ing finely in its effort to better the condition Of
the streets
The attention of the merchants was called to
this needed reform when Kearny street was
torn up for the purpose Of laying the street.
car tracks.
They were informed that the railroad was
willing to bitnminlze the middle half of the
street from California 10 Market. This set
them to thinking, and they decided to see II the
rest of the street could not be treated In like
manner. Accordingly the city authorities were
visited by committee from the association.
The committee was told that the city would
donate $3.50 per block providing that the prop.
erly-owners on Kearny street would raise the
balance.
1t was found that It would be necessary to
assess the owners not more than 81 per square
foot. The regular cost of such pavement with
ont any outside aid would be 81 per square
foot. When the Merchants Association ascer-
tanned that bituminiZed pavement could be
laid on Kearny street at so moderate an ex-
pense 1t sent out circulars to the property-own-
ers on that thoroughfare, together with a blank
contract, asking that each owner contribute an
amount In proportion 10 his street frontage,
which would help make up the deficiency left
over from the railroad aud city subscriptions.
When President Dohrmaun az the Merchants
Association was seen yesterday In regard 10
the responses which these circulars were re-
ceiving at the hands of the property-owners he
seemed we'll pleased with the replies which he
had thus far received. Already thirty sigued

Suiode OF n PRISONER,

COLUMBIA, s. C, May 2.-The quiet
town OF Prosperity, located on the line
OF the Colu nbia, Newberry aud Lau-
rens, and Richmond and Danville roads
about forty miles from Columbia, was
yesterday thrown into a considerable
state OF excitement, go gentleman
who arrived in the city last night says,
by the suicide of negro prisoner in
the station house, by hanging. The
fellow was named Dan Sheppard. He
WAS powerful built mulattO. Ga
Mr:"aY evening he was arrested for
ASSAULT ahf terry and attempted
criminal assault. upon tn person Of his
step. daughter, Mary Bauknight, q
muiatto girl about 20 years OF age The
city authorities placed him In the sta
ton house for the night. He told Town
Marshal White whom he locked him up
that he "reckoned they would hang him
this time." He meant by this that he
feared serious consequences. Once be-
fore he had been arrested on the same
charge, but his wife being the only
witness against him he was discharged
from custody. The negro seemed to
nave been thoroughly resolved upon
self-destruction. lie proceeded after he
was locked up to make himself a
rope out Of the crocus sack covering
on the bed, tying it securely around
his neck. He then tied the other end
to the grating of the window, which
was no higher than himself. Then he
knelt down and choked to death de
llberately. When the town marshal
went to the station house yesterday
morning to carry him his breakfast he
found the fellow In STOPPING attitude
his head hanging over on his breast,
cold and death, The coloner held an In
gulation was rendered. The negroes Of
the town seem to be glad the negro's
career Is ended, for he was considered
a desperate fellow.
