News Frem Washing tOn.

President Cleveland certainly had
cause to be glad when
the fall Of The gavels Of
Vice President Stevenson and
Speaker Crisp announced the legal
end of the ffty-third Congress. 1t
is not believed that any other Pres
ilent has eyer had as hard phys
zeal task imposed upon hun as has
been performed by President Cleve-
land in the last 4S hours of almost
continual work of the most wear
Jag SOFT. Up to Saturday only two
Of the thirteen regular appropria-
ton bills had become laws
a unprecedented state of affairs
a d eight Of. them were still in con-
ference. Since then they have all
been acted upon. 10 get an idea
of the enormous amount Of work
the President had to perform 1t
mu,t be remembered that the more
important Of these appropriation
bills consist Of hundreds of pages
Of itemized appropriations, and that
President Cleveland never signs
his name to anything without
knowing just what it is, although
he had in this case to sign bills con-
tanning items and amendments that
were decidedly Objectionable, be
cause the bills containing them
could not be vetoed without max
lag an immediate extra session nee
essary, something that he had nc
desire to do, if it could possibly b.
avoided. Later on there may have
to be an extra session Of Congress
called, but there is at present
good prospect of escaping it entire
", unless there shall be anothe
run On the Treasury for gold.

Lexirgton's Wrecked Bank.

A Lexington special says; The
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad col
lsctor, who was there to interview
the county and bank officials in re-
gard to the capture Of Cashier Fig
gait, and what reward was up, left
on the first outgoing train and said
5000 was too small for him to make
any effort in the capture Of the tu-
gitive. He stated that Figgatt
bought ticket on his train from
H lntington to Cincinnati, and
that he was with him for over an
hour in CINCINNATI; also, when he
pu chased another ticket for a GER
tain ont. He had previously IN
ouired the route to a certain point,
Int said he did not wish to so the
wav the collector, and chose anOth-
err route. He reported, also, that
the fugitive hal a large roll of
N ,ney on his person, and the small
est bill was $50. One Of the col
I ,ctor's parting remarks was, that
he was not wanted very badly,
when only 5000 reward was offered
TO-. a man wao took SI50,OOO." 1t
!; very evident that no detective a
oency or othe.s similarly employed
will endeavor 10 capture him for so
INSIGNIFICANT reward, and a large
one should certainly be offered, and
the State officials increase theirs
from a raltry $500 reward to at

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage OF
them. Aud in ,ases too far gone
for cure. it affords relief and often
prolongs life. many VINO nave
been given ovar by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends 20
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment of Drs. Starkey
& Palen, of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. 1t has been successful in
curing many cases of catarrh, ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
bration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine Com
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.

Captain James Bumgardner, Sc
Nor counsel for the defense IN the
Jesse A. Walker murder case, made
a strong and forcible speech in sup
port of his motion for a new trial;
but the motion was overrulcd by
the Court. In delivering his opin-
ion Judge Chalkley said the prison
err had had every advantage and
had been allowed the widest latitude
possible. The verdict, in his opin-
ion, was not contrary to the law
and the evidence. AS to granting
a new trial on the newly discovered

The Howard Revival.

The most wonderful meeting
that has ever been held in Monterey
will continue over Sunday.
Rev. Charles Nj. howard the
celebrated evangelist breaches the
Gospel in the most simple yet
powerful manner. He .persuades
men in Chri>t's stead to be recon
ciled to God.
The meeting has been largely
attended by persons not only OF
this place, but from all parts Of the
county. At least one hundred and
twenty-one have found the Savior
precious to their souls. Nearly ell
Of these will connect themselves
with the churches in town.
Mr.. Howard is very careful in
training the converts in habits Of
prayer and Christian work. His
meeting for the converts and en-
quirers is largely attended, and IS
the means Of doing great good.
The converts already pray in pub
lie, and give great promise Of
usefulness in the church.
Among the converts are some Of
our most prominent citizens.
They are now full of zeal for the
masters cause. The conversion Of
such men means influences set at
work that will be instrumental
und r God in bringing many souls
to the Savior.
All classes and conditions Of men
have felt the power Of the Holy
Ghost who has been poured out on
Monterey and vicinity. From the
little child to the gray-haired man
they have come to Jesus and have
found joy and peace in believing.
May the good work here begun
widen and extend until in all this
country there shall be none who
will refuse to have Jesus reign
over them.
Mr.. Howard goes from this place
to Pisgah Presbyterian church il
this county where he expects tC
hold a meeting Of some weeks
duration. From Pisgah he intends
to go to Crabbottom Presbyterian
church. He will be followed
wherever he labors by the earnest
prayers Of this people.
MAY this holy man Of God have
yet mary more stars in his already
thickly studded crown Of rejoicing
that is awaiting him on the eternal
shore. \
