straw Ride to Foxon.

One of the most enjoyable "straw rides" of the season took place last night, when two ofsNesbit's barges filled with residents fsthe southwestern sec ton of the city went to Foxon. where they enjoyed an excellent supper and after supper tipped the light fantastic toe until an carly hour this morning. There were thtrtyMo i'm the party and the start was made about 8 o'clock from H. M. Towers on, Congress avenue. Among those in the party were H. M. Tower and wife, Detective Sergeant Cowles and wife, George Cowles and wife, Albert Collett and Mrs William Collett, Harry Prindie and wife will liam A.

"For a year and a half I did not get over one and one-half hours sleep each night, but after taking the Nerv- ura began to sleep, and as I began to sleep I began to gain, and after had gained one hours sleep more than had before, was greatly rejoiced
 My husband has paid out hundreds of dollars for my cure in each kind of medicine I could name, but nothing helped me until I took pr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy"
 A wonderful story, this, and yet ev- cry statement is absolutely true No person ever suffered more than Mrs. Hudson, and no more wonderful cure was ever effected than this marvellous cure by pr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. If this medicine will cure such terrible and extraor- dinary case, it will surely cure any thing and everything in the line of rheumatism or neuralgia. How anyone can read about this remarkable cure and not give Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy an immediate trial is beyond the comprehension of the writer In the face of such strong evidence of it's curative powers, suf- ferers who will not at least give it a trial, deserve to continue to suffer Particularly should it be taken now, as such diseases always yield more quick ly and are cured more, readily in the spring.
 Another reason why this grand med icine can be taken with the utmost confidence is the fact that its discov- erer is our most successful physician in curing nervous and chronic diseases, pr. Greene, of 35 West 14th street, New York City, who can be consulted free of charge by all who choose to write him or call upon him.

HIGH TARIFF NOT WANTED.
The People of the West Not In Favor OF
Higher Taxes.

The People of the West Not In Favor OF
Higher Taxes.
A republican politician in the far
off territory of Oklahoma expressed a
popular truth when, a few days ago,
he said: The west is not stuck on a
high tariff"
Nobody is "stuck on" a high tariff,
except its benefciaries. Nobody wants
to pay any more taxes than he can
help and everybody wants the necessi-
ties of life at such price that they
can be readily obtained without too
much toll and effort. Not only the
west, but the east, is not ''stuck on" a
high tariff. A high tariff is high tax
alton. The taxation is borne by the
people, and as it is impossible that
every body should profit by taxing him
self so it is equally impossible that
everybody should profit by high tariff
which means high taxation.
The days of high tariff are over.
No one of authority in the republican
party pretends to favor a return to the
Mckinley tariff. No party will go be-
fore the people on the issue that the
people shall pay more taxes and that
everybody is better off by being taxed.
Whether the democratic party elects
its candidates or not, its principles are
winning a stronger hold on the people.
and if the republican party continues
to reform, it will soon be practicing
the real truths of democracy.-Alb any

TREE PLANTING IN FRANCE.
UseIess Sand Dunes Have Been Converte,
Into Valuable land.

Useless Sand Dunes Have Been converted
Into Valuable Land.
The French thoroughly appreciate
the advantages to be derived from sys-
tematic tree planting. Tracts of sand
have been covered with pine forests,
and the word lande. borrowed, as it is
thought, from the German, is losing its
meaning of waste" Till century
ago a large portion of the forest OF
Fontainebleau consisted of bare sand
hills. but the planting of pines was be-
gun, a variety capable OF standing the
severest winters was eventually found.
and millions of trees now diffuse
healthy ana agreeable odors, besides
furnishing timber and fuel. The decom-
posed fur needles, moreover, gradually
form a crust of vegetable mold. permit
ting the growth of trees and shrubs
less able than the pine to live on air.
The department of the Landes, once a
barren region with sand SO loose that
one had to walk on stills, is covered
with pine, and the problem of drain
ing the subsoil has been solved, as de-
scribed in Edmond About's story of
s.Maitre Pierre" The losses by fire
and anxiety to produce something
more remunerative than pine are now,
however, inducing schemes of artificial
fertilization. In many French water
ing-places dunes have been trans
formed into woods, thus holding out
to seaside visitors the attraction OF
agreeable shade and q change from a
monotonous beach. Shifting sands
have been prevented from extending
inland. In some cases dunes have been
acquired by companies which, after
planting them, have cut them up into
building plots, and have seen them
dotted with villas. Elsewhere munich
palities have taken up the matter. and
in large operations the district or the
department has provided the fund.-

Probable Murder of ID. G. Logan, a Prom.

LEXINGTON, KY, Dec. ED. C. Lo.
gan, aged 65, one of Lexington's most
prominent business men, and member
of the hardware firm of Logan & Hig
gins, was found in the back yard OF
his home on Fourth street, at an early
hour this morning, with bullet hole
in his head and revolver with
two chambers empty lying by his
side. The position of the weapon and
the body were suggestive of suicide,
but there are other facts that point to
murder. The bullet entered the head
almost exactly from behind and near
est the right ear. There are no signs
OF powder as would have been pro-
duced by holding the pistol in such a
position, and the physicians attending
say there was undoubtedly second
party to the tragedy. Logan is still
alive. but unconscious, with scarcely q
chance for his recovery.

CARNEGIE'S CLAIM.

Secretary Herbert's Authorized Statement
OF His Interview with Mr.. Carnegie
Neither He Nor His Friends Said Any
thing About Suing the Government to
Recover the Money Withheld rs . Fine.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Secretary
Herbert authorizes the following
statement in regard to the Carnegie
affair:
MIR. Carnegie came into my Office
and said he had seen my testimony be-
fore the naval committee of tie sem
ate, and indicated that if the matter
was to go on he would make a PROPOSE
ton; that he was willing to do any
thing that was fair. Mr.. Carnegie ex-
pressed himself as having unbounded
confidence in the armor, and said he
was willing to go to any expense to
show it. 1 told him that the
newspapers had only published
portion of my statement before
the committee. 1 stated to him the
substance of what that evidence was.
/ told him the testimony had been
published by the senate COMMITTEES;
that he could get a copy of it; that
had given it as my opinion that the
Quay amendment providing that the
S1fOsUOu Oc TcGuTucu W Ills
company in case the plates
named should pass the ballistic
test ought not to pass; that that
fine was not imposed on the idea that
the plates would not stand the ballis-
tic tests. although on this point might
be mistaken. 1 further said that
whether the plates stood that test or
not, did not think he was entitled to
the money, because the fine had been
imposed upon the company on the
ground that it had not made the plates
as much better than what those tests
indicated as it could have done.
Il referred Mr.. Carnegie and his
friends to the printed testimony, and
they left without making to me any
definite proposition and without saying
anything about suing the government.
told Mr.. Carnegie that so far as the de-
partment was concerned the payment
of that fine was considered as final
settlement of the question of dam
ages"

OF Stealing From Bank Detected al
Last by q Mere Accident.
News YORK, Dec. e7.-Another dis
honest bank clerk fell into the hand:
of the police yesterday. The prisoner
is Edward z. Carter, Al years old, OF
246 Monroe street, Brooklyn, who has
been employed for the past twenty.
nine years as transfer clerk in the
National Bank of Commerce, at 80 Mas
sau street, of which William W. Sher.
man is president. His stealings, &C
cording to his own calculations, aggre
gates $50, 200. He declines to tell how
he spent the money.
At police headquarters Inspector Nc
Laughlin had talk with him. Carter
said that his pilfering began within a
short time after he secured his position
with the bank, and continued up to the
present time. His stealings, he said,
were small at first, but increased, and
bad to worse. He did not tell in what
manner he had got the money nor ex.
plain in what manner or by what
means he evaded detection for so many
years.
Carter claims to have used the money
in his living expenses, which is prob.
ably true. as he INDUCED in no vices
or speculations. The loss, of course,
is not serious one for the bank, which
has a capital of S., 600, 900 and surplus
and undivided profits of $500. 600,
but the defalcation is none the less
distressing, as Carter had the conf
dence of all who came in contact with
him and he has wife and two chill.
dren.
President Sherman said Carter con-
cealed the defalcation by covering into
various accounts of railroads and cor
porations smaller sums which, of
course, were not paid, but SO cleverly
hidden that it was only by accident
that the defalcation was discovered.
If it had not been for recent defalca-
tions which put all bank officials on
their guard, it is very proba BILE that
Carriers statement to the effect that he
paid coupons ahead of time would have
been accepted.
The extent of the defalcation can
only be ascertained by an inspection
of the books for a long period, but the
amount is stated on Carriers confession.

- PRISON TRAGEDY.

Guard ut the Columbus (O.) Penitentsnry
attacked by Three Convicts and Badly
Aurt-One OF tho Attacking Patty Dead
and Another Wounded-Guard Temples
Marrow Escape From Being Murdered.
COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 27.-Following
close on the Christmas festivities at the
penitentiary came one of the most
shocking tragedies that has ever oc-
CURED at the institution. One prisoner
is dead, another wounded and guard
seriously injured. The affair occurred
about 10 a. M, at Reynolds foundry,
and appears to have been the result Of
discipline in the department of the
prison. The safeguards have gen.
orally been on duty there, and
the convicts have been in the
habit of taking undue liberties.
Recently Warden James deter
mined to put a stop to this, and placed
S. j. Temple. of Columbiana county,
one of the strictest guards in the insti.
tuition, in this shop. The prisoners did
not like Temple, and information was
conveyed to him that three of them
had been making threats against him.
These were Joseph O'Day, two-year
forger from Cleveland; John Burke,
McClaiu county robber, and
John Bird, in for manslaugh-
ter from Franklin county. Temple
reported these three for making
threats. Hearing of this, the trio lay
in wait for him in the foundry. Burke
seized him around the neck, while
O'Day struck him over the head with
an iron bar. Guards Fulton and But
Ter rushed to Temples assistance,
while other prisoners in the shop
focked to the scene. Dazed by the
blow, Temple vainlv attempted to pull
his revolver, which he grasped, but
was prevented from getting it out
by his assailants- O'Day shouted to
Reuben Gardner. a Wood county pris-
oner, in for manslaughter: Bring me
knife and I'll cut his hand off or cut
his throat" Temple managed to shoot
through his pocket at Gardner, the
bullet taking effect in the calf of the
1atter's leg. By this time the guards
had succeeded in freeing Temple from
the convicts- ODay turned to strike
at Temple, when the guard shot him
through the right lung. O'Day died
soon afterwards. Temple will recover
from his injuries. The convicts en-
gagged will be severely punished.
