A Nasty Case.

Hannibal, Mo-, July 16.-Depositions
in the Hearne DeYoung libel suit, grow
ing out of the murder Of Amos j. Still
we'll in 1883, were of very sensational
nature yesterday. Mrs. R. H. Stillwell had
testified that Mrs. Stillwell, now Mrs. DR..
j. C.Hearne, had changed her gown on
the night of the murder before she and
her husband arrived on the scene. Yes.
terday this testimony was strengthened
apparently by the evidence of James A.
Abbey, employed in the secret service.
He said II was employed to try to find
out who committed the murder.
searched the privy vault on the Stillwell
premises Monday, January 1s, 1889. 1
got out good many things, pieces of
sheet and mems drawers. The last thing
was plain cotton night gown. There
was blood on it. Mr.. Wood, the detec-
tive, made me put it back"
The finding of the bloody gown in the
vault few feet from where the blood
stained axe was found, puts sensational
feature in the case which was never
before developed.

Rio Grande Floods.

Ell Paso, Texas, July 17.-The Rio
Grande river ia out of its banks in this
valley and is doing great damage to prop
erty and farms on both sides of the river.
Not less than 100 houses have been swept
away and many poor Mexicans left home
less. FL Paso was saved from the raw
ages of the food by levse constructed
along the northern bank of the river
three years ago.
There is 10 telling what course the bed
of the river will take before the food
subsidies. Floods like the present one
always change the channel Of the river,
and it is believed Uncle Sam will lose
several square miles of territory by the
river moving farther northeast. Infor-
nation from San Marcial, N. Me is that
the river is still rising.

not take decided stands and ex-

preachers IN POLITICS. -

Mr.. Calls Oca'a organ of Sept.
20 with great glee quotes the To-!
lowing from the Bronson Times
Democrat:
"Bro. ] c. Porter has placed
himself in an unenviable position
by his unwarranted attack upon
Senator Call. He need not think
that he can drag his church into
an unseemly political squabble, or
that any considerable number will
endorse the descent of the editori-
al columns of the Baptist paper of
Florida to the level of a common
political sheet. Many OF Bro. Por-
ter's brethren believe that Mr.. Call
is a good friend to Florida, and
while they have great respect for
Bro. 7 S opinion on any question
of theology, he cannot shape their
political ideas. They do not be-
lieve in any sort of uniono of church
and state Let our good brother
drop politics, or turn the Witness
over to some man who will take
more pains to serve his God than
to win the favor of a railroad cor
poration. Since the anti Call spirit
struck the Witness office the col
umns of that paper very much re-
semble those of the Ocala News,
and none can tell whether it is
Porter or Harrison doing the writ
ing. A religious paper has no
business in politics, and we do ear
nestly hope that Bro. Porter will
let his love for the cause of Christ
in Florida cause him to forego
the pleasure of making a u.
S. senator. 1t never pays any
man to shoot a man from behind
the pulpit. 1t is an unfair advan
tage which a fair. minded public,
will resent"
But the organ does not see fit to
quote the following from a later
issue of the Times. Democrat:
"Bro. ]. c. Porter gives in an
other column his reasons, or one of
them, for opposing Mr.. Call. We
gladly give it space, and will say
just here that we have no intention
of posing as the champion of Ser
ator Call, and if Bro. Porter's
statements are correct we think |
his course is justified on moral |
grounds; and these are the highest
and hottest that can actuate any |
man. When the proper time
comes we shall not hesitate to say
whom we want fol- senator, but in
the meantime we do not care to be
placed in the Call column
The editor of the Times-Demo-
crat has been a staunch Call man,
but, like thousands more, only
needed information to be convert

| several months ago, men like Maj
| Alex. ST. Clair Abrams denounced
it as a political sheet. But if this
is dabblipg in politics, make the
most of it.
Il assure you that the opposition
of the Baptist Witness to Senator
Call is not on account of his politi-
cal views, but wholly on account OF
his moral unhtness to represent a
free people in the council chan :
bers Of the nation. 1t is a fact,
generally admitted, that Senator
Call is a confirmed whiskev drink

quently takes drinks while making
political speeches. A prominent
deacon in the Baptist church told
me that he told Senator Call POUR
out his whisky in tin cup and
take it on the platform with him
and drink it instead of water while
delivering his speech. He used
the tin cup instead of glass to
delude the dear people,
'Now, my brother, if you will
prove to me that Senator Call is
not a habitual whisky drinker,
will only be too glad to take back
what | have said against him
and apologize to him and to my
brethren for having said it; but un-
til you can do this, | shall still feel
it my Christian duty to oppose his
reelection. It is perfect folly to
pray for temperance and the de-
struction of the rum power while
we go to the polls and vote for
drunkards to fill the high offices in
the government. We have intelli-
gent, sober men in Florida who
can protect our people against
corporations" and gold bugs,
equally as we'll as Senator Call; be-
sides, rotation in office is a good
old democratic principle that
should not be overlooked. Senator
Call will have been in the United
States senate eighteen years in
succession at the expiration of his
present term Of office, and, taking
his own statement for it, our peo-
pie are more sorely oppressed by
corporation rule now than ever be-
fore. Surely the Senator has had
ample time to show his ability to
bring deliverance to a patient and
long-suffering people. And since
he has SO signallY failed, / main
tain that it will be good business
sense, to say nothing of morality
to retire him and elect another
man. The senator claims to be
against monopolies aud yet he is a
liberal patron of the whisky ring,
the most gigantic and deadly mon
opoly that has ever cursed human
tY. Let us lay aside all personal
orejudices and vote as we pray.

A Bicycle Lawn Mower.

Thomas Caldwell of Ncwburgh, n. Y,
who is supposed to have taken out more
patents Oh lawn mowers than anybody else
in the world was talking the other day
with William T. Hilton about arranging
chains and pedals in such way as to
drive n small horse mower by man power
when his l0year-old son Harry spoke up:
"Why don't you take II big hand mower
and attach it to the front of n bicycle in
place of the front whcely" he asked.
The boys suggestion was tried, and the
invention Of the mower cycle was the re-
suit. The machine is made with an ordi-
nary bicycle hind wheel and 90 inch
mower in the place of the front wheel.
The mower wheels have rubber tires and
they run just as smoothly as "a bicycle it.
self. 1t is attached with long steel prongs
or forks and may be adjusted to cut high
or low The pedals are placed directly on
the large wheel shaft, dispensing with the
chain sprockct wheels and crank shaft of
the bicycle. 1t is not yet perfected to run
on side hill, but Mr.. Caldwell expects to
overcome this little difficulty and is de-
vising II piece of mechanism by which the
rider will always retain q perpendicular
position while the mower may be cutting
with one end elevated higher than the
other. The mower cycle is guided just as
the bicycle is, by the handles, and lawn
can be gone over in one-third of the time
it takes to do it with an ordinary hand
mower. New York Sun.
