lowing this Rev. Mr.. Grover reeited thu
Lords prayer and then pronounced tho
benedictiou. There was nothing what

ket, and rested in the archway between
the parlor and hall. The features were
very lifelike, the end having come with

United States and Spain on tho Verge OF n
Hot Fight over the Tariff Question
Seven Negroes Killed i'm "A Race War
in Georgia.
Tnr.n War with Spain.

Washington: Interesting develop
ments are expected soon as result OF
the strained relations between the
United states and Spain over the tariff.
In levying duties Spain arranges coun-
tries in two columns The first column
includes those who have not entered
into satisfactory treaty arrangements
with Spain. Until recently Brazil was
the only country on the globe which
Spain had put into this column, ali
other countries being in the second
column, which includes those having
satisfactory treaties. The United
States now joins Brazil IN Spain S
first column Secretary Gresham
has rejoined, directing Minister lay
lor, at Madrid, to notify the Spanish
government that If the United States
is not removed from the FIRST column
this country will retaliate. Ii the sec
rotary carries out his threat, President
Cleveland will issue proclamation
closing American ports 10 the products
of Spain. The first effect Of this will
be TO shut out the enormous shipments
of raw sugar which Cuba makes TO this
country, which is Scven-eighths of all
the raw sugar used in American re-
fineries. The other eighth comes from
Louisiana and Hawaii, but it is said
that it would he impossible TO make
up this seven-eighths. 1t is asserted,
therefore, that the retaliation would
cut refineries off from their supplies
and close them up, throwing 10000
employees out of work. The ultimate
effect of the warfare would be, it is
said, TO advance the price of sugar
from three cents to six cents per
pound, thus making the public bear
the burden.
The immediate effect Of Spain's ac-
ton has already proved disastrous to
the American trade in flour and this
trade has passed almost exclusively
INTO the hands of Canada. Under the
old reciprocity arrangement with Spain
American flour was shipped to Cuba in
great quantities. But when the United
States tariff raised the duty on Cuban
sugar, Spain responded by raising the
duty on American flour The FIRST
column" duty on flour is Si.75, while
the second column is 81. As Canada
is in the second column she enjoys an
advantage of IS cents barrel on -four
and this has proved ample 10 allow
Canada to wrest the Cuban flour trade
away from the United states.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Farmer kills His wife with stick of
Wood and Then Cuts His Throat.

The residence of Mathew Palmer,
Year Millington, was the scene of
bloody murder and suicide, Palmer
having struck his wife Sarah with Il
piece of stovewood, crushing her skull,
took jacllknife and cut four gashes
in her throat, and then cut his own
throat from ear To ear in two strokes.
His two youngest boys were witnesses
of the double crime and in their
endeavoEs to prevent the crazed father
from accomplishing the deeds both
were completely covered with their,
parents blood.
Palmer was owner of so acres of
good land entirely free from debt. He
was As years of age, and the wife 40.
They were the parents of four boys
and three girls The cause of the deed
seems TO be known to the family and
friends, but they are trying to keep it
u secret One of the most common
theories is that Palmer thought his
wife and children were tryiI e to ruin
him financially, and, thinking thus,
had become partially insane.

more hardened criminals. lie also
put forth the idea that sentences for
similar offenses should be more equal

correctly when pardon was asked for.
Judge Il. ID. Kline, of Ann Arbor,

JACK FROST IN THE SOUTH.
@6,OOO,OO0 Damage tn the Florida Orange
Crop-C oldest Weather Since 1888.


The cold wave which swept over the
south caused a loss of fully S6,000,0OO
20 Florida. Young orange groves from
one To four years old are ruined all
over the state and many older trees
killed. The winter crops OF veg 1taOles
are killed outright and the Awberry
vines and pineapple plants very seri-
ously damaged. Reports from 81 cor
respondents in the orange districts OF
the state indicate that at least l,sOO,OOO
of unpicled oranges are solid globes
of ice ana more than 100000 boxes of
oranges in warehouses and lying IN
bulk, preparatory to picking are
frozen. About 100, 900 boxes of this
season S crop were still on the trees.
Reports from the interior of the state
show that the cold weather has been
general and has extended from one
end of the peninsula to the other. To-
matoes, cabbage, peas and all veget-
ables in the northern end of the state
are ruined except the pineapple plan
tations, which are not much injured.
There was hardly house in Jackson
Vile in which the waterpipes were not
frozen solid. All the shrubbery and
tropical plants in the public parks and
trees nlighted. The temperature was
the lowest since 1885.
Birmingham, Ala: The worst snow
storm ever known in Alabama came
with the blizzard. Six inches of snow
fell. The weather was very severe
and much suffering among the poor is
reported. Many cattle are starving in
barren sections and two Negroes were
frozen 10 death at Alfalfa. At Birming-
ham snow almost blocked traffic. 1t is
feared that much damage will be done
in the mines by the bursting of water
pipes and flooding the mines.
Memphis, Tenn: From six to eight
inches of snow is reported from the
middle and West Tennessee, Arkansas,
North Mississippi, Louisiana and Vest
ern Alabama, with a steady drop in
temperature.

OF INC
Drought-Stricken Port .ons of Nebraska.
Special dispatches from Western Ne
braska tell of the restitution and dis
tress prevailing among the inhabitants
of the drought-stricken districts. Ter
rible restitution exists in Perkins,
Chase, Dundy, Lincoln, Hays, Hitch
cock and Frontier counties. and the
worst feature is the people in several
localities are afflicted with scurvy for
want of wholesome food. Railroad
men report that since the cold snap no
less than IL people have persisted in
these counties for want of food and
fuel. Hundreds OF families arc with
out coal, and the poor people have n
hard time to keep from freezing to
death. In Perkins county restitution
is complete. Over COO families arc
appealing for help. Very few farmers
have any stock left, having let their
horses and cattle roam or driven them
out of the state to prevent starvation.

tween the commissioners and himself
in his endeayors to secure absolute dis
cipline. The department is honey
combed with abuses which had been
growing for 30 years, and they could
only be remedied by radical legisla-
tion. Local politicians, he claimed,
were the curse of the department.
Although he had done his utmost to
procure substantial information as to
corruption and bribery, he was unable
to get ii and the whole departing mt

promotion mad to be bought and merit
was of no avail He claimed to have
done good deal toward helping TO
bring about the exposures. He paid
tribute to DR. Parkhurst. Mr.. Byrnes'
wealth, which he estimated at $3.50, 900,
was made by speculation, he said, in
Wall street, through the Goulds. His
purchases Of real estate were also very
profitable.

bloody Race War in Georgia.

Joseph lsom, one of the most pros
porous farmers and best citizens of
Brooks county, Ga, was murdered by
n party of Negroes, and it leaked out
that the killing Of Isom was part of a
plot to kill all the whites who were in
the posse which a few weeks ago ar
rested Jesse Jetfreth for the killing of
L. Mouldon. Isom was one of the
most popular men in the county. He
lived in part of the county where the
Negroes outnumbered the whites, and
the killing created great deal of eX-
element. When it developed that the
same gang of Negroes had sworn to
kill other white men, the whites gath
cred together and the work of death
and destruction began. Seven Negroes
were killed by one posse of whites and
four by another, and as a result the
whole county is in arms, the whites
against the blacks, and bloody race
war is imminent.
LATEB.--The trouble in Brooks
county, Ga, is over. The Valdosta
Videttes were ordered to Quitman by
the governor. They found peace re-
stored and the citizens assured them
that there would be no more trouble,
and they returned to Valdosta.
