Dellicerent Senator's.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Therc were
a sensational episode on Wednesday
in the Senate as soon as the session
opened. Mr.. Mitchell, Republican Of
Oregon. rose to make a report on GER
tain sugar bounty claims on which,
he said, he desired to make a brief eX-
planatlon.
"There will have to be an explana-
ton when the subject comes up. IN
terposed Mr.. Harris, Democrat of Ten
nessee, so that it will only be a waste
of time to have an explanation now. l
therefore object"
Mr.. Mitchell urged that the expla-
nation would not take three minutes
but Mr.. Harris shook his head
Then" said Mr.. Mitchell. with
growing impatience, I will not make
the report will withdraw it. 1t is
most extraordinary that Senators can
not submit brief explanation, If they
so desire. 1t is remarkable.
Mr.. Mitchell's words were snapped
out vehemently.
1T is needless for the Senator to
protest, said Mr.. Harris. Il object.
And l emphasize it-I object.
Then, I withdraw the report, de-
clared Mr.. Mitchell.
Withdraw it then" exclaimed Mr..
Harris. Geiantly.
Mr.. Mitchell showed intense irrlta-
ton at the defiance, and raising MS
voice, he said to Mr.. Ha s;s:
The action of the Senator is I'M
usual, most unusual.
Il want the Senator to understand.
retorted MIR. Harris, measuring each
word. that l am capable OF doing un-
usual things and am responsible for
doing unusual things"
Yes" answered Mr. Mitchell, his
flushed face showing intense indigna-
ton, Il appreciate that the Senator is
capable of doing unusual things, and
then Mr.. Mitchell added: And ne is
also capable of doing ungentlemanly
things"
Mr.. Harris stepped forward from
his desk and for moment 1t seemed
that he was going to resent the state
ment. He paused. however, and with
gesture toward Mr. Mitchell and ad-
dressing him directly, said:
Let me tell you, sir, that your con
duct is contemptible-contemptible.
The presiding officer had been rap,
ping vigorously as the controversy
proceeded.
The Senators must proceed in or
der" he repeated.
The colleagues of the two angry
Senators gathered about them. and
their indignant postulations continued
in subdued tones.
The presiding officer directed the
clerk to proceed with other business,
and the incident was summarily
closed. Mr.. Mitchell moved about the
rear Of the chamber reiterating his
protests; while Mr.. Harris sat at his
desk apparently unmoved by the sharp
exchange of personalities.

Dupci bya Sw;ndler.

MARIANA, Fla, February 9:-Some
time ago negro named Wallis Cor
don came here, representing himself
as agent for Liberian colonization
society. He proposed to transport ne
groes to Liberia at 81 per head. de Sc
cured hundreds OF dollars and left,
telling the negroes that train would
arrive for them last Saturday. The
negroes sold all their possessions at a
sacrifice and CHARTERED at the depot
Saturday to take the train to begin
their journey to Liberia, but no train
came. When the negroes realized
that they had been duped they became
almost frenzied. There were fully
2.0G0 negroes-men, women and chill
dren-gathered at the depot, and had
rot Sheriff F'inlayson arrived on the
scene riot would probably have re-
sulted. The Sheriff summoned a posse
and finally succeeded in dispensing

amendment of Mr.. Gadsden to have
rules Of the primary, was adopted as
follows:
Resolved, That the delegates to the
Constitution Convention be nominated
by primary eletion to be held in ali
counties, unless deemed impractical
by the county executive committee,
under the auspices of the county exc
cutive committee of seven be appoint
ed by this committee to draft rules for
the government of said primary, such
rules to 5e submitted to subsequent
meeting of this committee
Senator Irby said that he was in
favor of a primary wherever it was
practicable, but in some cases the con-
vention might be preferable.
w. D. Evans asked whether it was
intended to have a campaign.
Mr.. Lowman suggested that each
county could arrange that for itself.
Mr.. Evans said that he was opposed
to any Court House ring regulating
the affairs, and he wanted to see the
people deal directly with the election
Mr.. Efrd did not think it best to put
down any ironclad rule as 10 pri-
mary. He wanted to see the best men
in the State sent to the Convention
and have it a white mans Conven-
ton. He thought it rather early to
give away the plans of action, and
thought it better to wait and on that
account moved to strike out the latter
part of the resolution.
That was voted down.
Mr.. Lyles wanted the resolution
trimmed down so as to make it gen
eral primary. but this was voted down.
Mr.. Gadsden suggested in view of
the importance of the matter that the
rules had better be referred to the
whole committee before they were
adopted.
This suggestion was accepted and
incorporated in the resolution.
Upon motion of Mr.. Williams il
was agreed that the primary for the
nomination of delegates be held on the
last Tuesday in July, and that if a sec
ond primary be necessary that 1t be
held two weeks after that.
The following committee was ther
appointed to prepare the rules: Chair
man Irby, Lowman, Montgomery
Gray, Jordon, Sigh and Watson.

The body was that of Henry Wool

had been murdered for this paltry
sum, as he had been shot through the
back of the head and his pockets were
turned inside out. Sheriff Erickson

SHORT IN THEIR CASH.
Many of the Dispensers are Said to be De
fau1terS.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. g. 1t Is sad
to think that all these sixty or more
good men who have been selling the
official liquor for the state, have been
permitting themselves to get behind
in their accounts with the State, but
according to Governor Evans nearly
all of them have been found to be be-
hind with their cash. Just how or
why this is no one knows. 1t is under
stood that some of them are short to
; the tune of from $500 to 81, 500. Of
/: course tae State is secured from any
losses, because each dispenser had to
give bond properly approved.
Wher the newspaper n3n stepped
into the executive chamber yesterday
: Governor Evans made this annouc-
ment; You can say that we have
found nearly every dispenser in the
State behind in his accounts, some of
them considerably behind" )" The Gov
ernor went on to say that, under the
provisions of the new law. the county
supervisor of each county had been
made member of the board of con-
troll of each county, and this necessi-
tated the dropping of one member
from each county board. He says the
State board is now very busy reorgan-
izing the county boards. When each
board has been reorganized, each dis
penser in the State will be required to
execute a new bond, with sureties who
must certify to owning twice as much
real estate as the face value of the
bond. This bond must be approved
by the county auditor; then by the
county board, and finally by the State
board. The States dispensary inspect
ors are now hard at work inspecting
every dispensary in the State. Every
dispenser found short in his
accounts, the Governor said, must
either submit a satisfactory explana-
ton, or else make the shortage good
Immediately, or the State would pro
ceed to bring suit on the bonds and
prosecute. Said Governor Evans:
I'VE can't afford to have in charge
of the States business any one who
allows himself to become in arrears
for any cause. After the reorganiza-
ton any one found in arrears will be
summarily discharged. The inspect
ors have full authority to take charge
of the assetsof any dispensary not con
Quoted according to law.
Governor Evans went on to say it
might be that the dispensers would be
all required to give a guarantee IN
surance bond, the State giving the
guarantee companies the right to in
spect the dispensaries. The Governor
says, in his opinion, the shortages,
one or two of which run up.over 81, 900,
have been caused by the loose way Of
doing business which some of the dis
pensers have practiced. He says the
State board has been at work having a
new system of bookkeeping prepared
for use in all the dispensaries and it
would be ready to be put in use by to-
day. This system, he says, viii en-

THE BUOHTEL BANQUET.

The spacious dining room Of Hotel
Buchtel was the scene of pleasant So
cial gathering Tuesday evening, April 8,
when some sixty of the trustees, faculty
and alumni OF Buchtel College assembled
there, with DIR. Rexford of Columbus,
aud Hon. James H. Hoyt, of Cleveland,
as the honored guests of the occasion.
The tables were tastefully decorated
with flowers, and in the two hours de-
voted to gastronomic exercise, eleven
courses, which included all the appetite
ing delicacies, from the succulent blue
point to the chilled finale of the dessert,
were summarily disposed of, until the
most capacious feaster was fain to cry
out "hold, enough" Some additional
interest and national significance we're
lent to the event by the fact that the
banquet took place on the anniversary OF
Gen Lees surrender. circumstance that
was not overlooked by the speakers some
of whom we're present on the historic
field.
1t was quite late hour when DIR.
Cone, who acted as chairman and toast
master, called the company to order and
in his most felicitious manner set the
ball rolling in the higher intellectual
channels. With fitting words of wit and
wisdom he introduced the several speak
ers and as usual made one of the best
speeches of the evening himself. He
said it was eminently appropriate that
the event which secured to us in perpe-
tuity all the highest blessings we enjoy,
our homes. country and schools. should
be memorialized in some such way as
this. The College was in the war and it
is fitting we should thus connect it with
one of the greatest events in American
history. He had visited Memorial Hall at
Cambridge and seen the splendid tribute
which Harvard has paid to her fallen
heroes. her sons given to the cause of
union and freedom; and he believed
that the college had tendency to foster
patriotism and manliness. Education
does not make man less a man, nor
woman less woman; if it does then we
should close the doors of our schools and
colleges at once and forever. The saying
of Ingersoll that "the college polishes
pebbles and dims diamonds" he charac-
terized as brilliant half-truth, like
many other things he has said, and even
il true, is not uncomplimentary to the
college. For as the common people are
to the men of geuius as the pebbles to
the diamonds. the work of the college to
large extent must be the polishing of
pebbles, and even il an occasional dia
mond is dimmed by the process. yet the
result on the whole is beneficial. The
doctor paid handsome tribute to the

moved from the Fundamental principles
of that faith as outlined in Christianity.
He remained steadfast amid all the
changes of the years, and devoted him
self constantly by pen and voice to the
advocacy of the faith. His work on the
Magazine and since 1860, in the demon
national papers, has been very valuable
in the explanation and defense of our
faith and the moral and religious duties
which grow out of it's acceptance He
was ready and copious writer and the
articles signed 1T II. T." were highly
esteemed for their substantial thought
and style. When Rev. Erasmus Man
ford passed away, and the we'll known
magazine became Mr.. Tabor's property
by purchase from Mrs Manford it was
generally conceded that Mr.. Tabor was an
ideal successor as editor. He was happy
in his purchase and work. and until fail
ing health came upon him, wrought Wig
orously to maintain the reputation of
the publication among its wide circle of
readers.
Universalism in Illinois owes much 10
the faithful man whose earthly career
is now terminated. In this State and in
Iowa and Wisconsin there are substan-
tial parishes founded by him and blessed
by his faithful and self-sacrifcing la
bors. He we'll deserves honorable recog-
milton among the departed pioneers
whose labors and tolls have established
the heritage which the new generation
now enjoys. His memory will be kept
green in many places for his works
sake. We may we'll write his epitaph in
the simple but all-su fficisnt words: HE
WAS FAITHFUL"
The funeral services of Mr.. Tabor
were conducted at his late residence on
Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev.
Dr. Cantwel officiating. assisted by
Rev. HI. d. L. Webster, an old associate
of the deceased in the Wisconsin work.
The burial was at Rose Hill Rev. Mr..
Dusseault, of Maiden, Mass, who is a
visitor in the city, officiated in the com
initial service at the grave. The pail
bearers were prominent members of the

REV. TIMOTHY HANNIBAL TABOR.

This well-known clergyman of our
Western Church. for nearly nine years
past the editor and proprietor of Man
ford's Magazine, has ended his earthly
course. He died on Thursday morning.
April IL, at his home, TIA West Van
Buren, street. in this city, after linger-
ing illness, caused by paralysis, in the
seventy first year of his age. In his de-
parture our Church loses one of the old
veterans of the cross who has done faith
fui and influential service for upward
of forty years and reached honorable
distinction as preacher and pastor and
as an industrious writer for our demon
national press.
Mr.. Tabor was born in Rutland coun-
ty. Vermont. August 81, 1924. He re-
moved to Western New York when quite
young. We have no particulars as to
his early youth, but it is known that his
educational advantages we're quite limi-
ted but these were supplemented by
patient study at home, and he became a
self taught man, we'll furnished for the
youth was of the old school Presbyterian
order as his parents we're both members
of that denomination. He soon outgrew
Presbyterian tendencies, and in early
manhood was born into Universalism, in
which faith he lived and labored and
died.
His first settlement as a minister was
in South Dansville, N. " from whence
he moved to Earlville, ILL.,. in 1854. Two
years later he became pastor of the So
cieties in McHenry and Woodstock, in
this State, and the year following, he
moved to Briggsville, Wis.,. and from that
place to Markesan. Wis.,. where he re-
NAMED six years.
In 1864 Mr.. Tabor returned to Illinois
and settled in Blue Island, where he
built the church. In 1867 he was at
Macomb and remained until 1872. From
Macomb he went to Kirkwood for two
years. After leaving Kirkwood he was
pastor at Yates City, Bradford, La
Fayette, and one year in Bloomfield, Iowa.
In 1879 he became pastor at New Salem.
ILL.,, where he remained until he became
editor and publisher of Manford's Mag
azine in 1886. He continued in charge
until last year when paralysis seized
him and he disposed Of the Magazine to
his son. Rev. James B. Tabor, who is now
the editor and publisher. Another son,
Rev. Manley W. Tabor. is settled in our
ministry in Western New York.
Mr.. Tabor was married twice. His
first wife died early. leaving him the two
sons mentioned above. He was married
to the faithful wife who is now his wild
ow many years ago, and she has proved
a good mother to his children and an
estimable helpmeet in all the years of
his ministerial life.
Mr.. Tabor was a man of faith and
strong convictions, and Of constant in
dustry as pastor and preacher. His
work is attested by the success which
has followed his labors as a church or
ganizer and builder. His Universalism
was rock bottomed; he could never be
