The SUGAR BOUNTY.

Eminent Lawyers Argue Before the Comp
troller of the Treasury for Its Payment.
WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The extraor-
dinary argument which began yester-
day in the office of the comptroller of
the treasury was brought about by Mr.
Bowler's refusal to issue warrant for
about $4,000 in favor of the OXnard
Beet Sugar Company, of Nebraska,
certified to the auditor by the commits
sioner of internal revenue and by the
auditor sent to the comptroller for his
action. Mr.. Bowler was in doubt upon
looking into the case of the constitu-
tionality of the appropriation to pay
bounty on the crop of 1895, contained
in the new tariff law, inasmuch as the
court of appeals of the district Of Colo
RADIO had decided that bounties them
selves were unconstitutional, and he
notified the claimants that until he
was satisfied of the propriety and legal
.ty of the law he should decline to is
sue the warrant and yesterday was
fixed for hearing argument on the
question.
This determination of the comptroller
interested the cane sugar men of Louis
lana far more than it did the beet
sugar men of Nebraska, as they had
five millions at stake to about quar-
ter of a million by the Nebraskans. So
Senators Caffrey and Blanchard and
Judge Semmes, of Louisiana, joined
ex-senator Manderson, of Nebraska, in
the effort to satisfy the comptroller
that the proper thing to do was to is
sue the warrants. They failed to in
duce either Secretary Carlisle or Presi-
dent Cleveland to interfere in behalf of
their clients, both those officials assert
ing that the comptroller was supreme
in his sphere and beyond any influence
or direction from them. Ex-senator
Mandcrson was the first speaker.

At his old home, surrounded by the
scenes he loved so well, Judge Jackson
seemed to improve steadily until he
went to Washington to sit in the sec
ond hearing of the income tax cases.
He stood that trying trip only fairly
well and after his return trip home ap-
peared to lose strength rapidly. !le
was afflicted with acomplication of dis
eases against which it was virtually
impossible to struggle. Nevertheless
he did not take to his bed until last
Wednesday week. Since that time
his friends realized that the end was
near and his death was not unexpected.
Judge jackson was twice married,
the first time to Miss Sophia MallOy,
daughter of David g. Malloy banker
of Memphis, who died in 1873. TO this
union were born four children, as fol-
flows: Henry, Mary, William II. and
Howell jackson.
In 1876 Judge Jackson married Miss
Mary E. Harding, daughter OF the late
Gen. Harding Of this union three
children, Eliza beth and Louise Jackson
and Harding A. Jackson, survive him.
With the exception of Miss Elizabeth
jackson and William IL. jackson, jr.,
who are in Europe, the children were
at the bedside when the distinguished
sufferer passed away. The news of
Judge Jackson's death caused general
sorrow in this city, where he was SO
well known.
Judge Howell +. Jackson was the son Of a
late eminent physician OF jackson, Tenn. He
was born in Paris, Tenn, April 8, 1882, He
graduated from the law school with the highest
,honors His home was West Meade farm, near
Nashville. Judge Jackson served one term on
the supreme bench of Tennessee. In 1881 he
was elected senator from this state at time
when the fight concerning the states debt was
on The judge championed the payment of the
debt, As senator he served on various impor-
tant standing committees, notably the judiciary
committee. the committee on claims, the COM
mittee on pensions and the special committee
on the tenth census.
In 1856 President Cleveland selected Senator
Jackson to succeed Judge John b. Baxter as
judge of the court Of the sixth federal circuit,
After seven years on the circuit bench Judge
Jackson was placed upon the supreme bench by
President Harrison and the nomination was
confirmed by republican senate, nOtwith-
standing he was u Staunch democrat, Judge
jackson was a man Of unyiclding trmneSS and

COll.siOn at Sra.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 0.-The story of
the sinking Of two vessels in collision
and the probable loss of about forty
lives, was told last evening by Capt
Henderson, late of the British ship
Prince Oscar, who. with sixteen of his
crew, arrived at this port yesterday on
the British steamer Capa, from Chilean
and Peruvian ports. -Four of the crew
of the Prince Oscar went down on the
ship and two others were drowned by
the upsetting of life boat The name
of the ship with which the Prince Oscar
was in collision is not known and her
entire crew are supposed to have gone
to the bottom with their vessel. Capt.
Henderson thinks from her size that
her crew numbered thirty or forty.
The collision occurred on the night
lof the 18th of July, near the route of
ships bound from London to Melbourne,
Australia. After drifting about for
two days without food or water, Capt.
Henderson and his men were picked up
by vessel which transferred them tc
the Capa. The Prince Oscar left
Shields, Eng, for Iquique, Chile, May
l27, with cargo of coal and crew OF
twenty men.

FRIGHTENED THE HooDLUMs,
A Snowballinx Gang in Cross Street De-
feated by Strategy.

A Snowballing Gang In n Cross Street De-
/ feated by Strategy.
THAT was rather n neat way friend
of mine got the better of a hoodlum
gang of snowballers one day recently" "
said Hornby at the club, according to
the New York Sun. There were about
fifty boys of various sizes and ages,
most of them above ten years, and they
had taken complete possession OF
block on one of the cross streets up
town. Every man who came into that
street was snowballcd out OF it, and
the drivers and their horses were mer-
,cilessly pelted. Whenever policeman
would come in sight loollouts would
notify the gang and they would move
to another block and the reign of ter
ror would begin there. If a man de-
cided to chase one part OF the gang the
others would move up close behind him
and make the attack SO terrific that in
nine cases out of ten he would be glad
to flee for his safety.
"This friend of mine happened along
when such bombardment was going
on, and he saw man wild with rage
escape with hat gone and clothes be-
spattered from head to foot Now it
was necessary for my friend to go into
that street to serve q legal paper. He
saw the householders crowding to their
windows and enjoying the sport almost
as much as the boys, and he knew that
when his turn came not only must he
run the gauntlet of q terrific fire, but
he must be subjected to the ridicule
and laughter of the spectators. He
shut his lips tight and went in. He
had been particular to notice heap OF
pretty clean snow about one hundred
feet from where the attack would be-
gin. His hat was soon knocked off and
the snowballs were pounding him on
the bare head and on his clothes. lie
made for that heap of clean snow as
steadily as he could, and just as he
reached it and just as ball struck him
on the head near one of his ears he
threw up his hands and fell into that
snow as if he had been knocked uncon'
scious.
"He had planned this from the start
There were cries from the spectators
and shouts that the man had beer
killed. Instantly every one of those
street Arabs fed, and in the twinkling
of an eye not one was to be seen. Il
was an easy matter for my friend tc
pull himself together again, and ther
he went on unmolested.

Thirteen Men Killed ana a Number Badly
Injured by the Collapse OF an Eight
ory Building.
New YORK. Aug. 9.-The middle sec
tion of the big, unfinished eight-story
building on the northeast corner of
West Third street and South Fifth ave-
nue., fell down yesterday morning. The
whole interior of the building was
wrecked. A number of workmen were
buried in the wreck, how many is not
known. Eighty odd men were at work
in the building. The great majority
escaped. One was taken out dead, four
alive. A dozen or more are yet sup
posed to be under the wreck Some
ran away in their fright and may be
heard of later.
The list of casualties, so far as made
up, is as follows: Killed-John Burke,
plastercr; Charles Smith, an electri-
clan.
Iniured-William Tax, James Cenny,
Neal Grider, John Kelly.
The wrecked building is conspicuous
in the landscape to travellers on the
Sixth avenue elevated railroad. Its
walls stand yet, but the entire core of
the structure is gone. The house had
been rooted over only few weeks.
John Ireland, a real estate dealer, is
the owner of the structure.
The crash came just before 11o'clock.
It came like clap of thunder-utterly
without warning. Passers-by in the
street heard deafening roar that
made their knees tremble with dread
of the end of all things. There was no
debris in the street.
Soon after the accident a gang of
sixty pen were put to work overhaul
ing the ruins and the work was con-
tinued by electric light during the en-
tire night. Three bodies had been
taken from the wreck up to midnight.
Contractor Parker and Jefferd Sellick,
the foreman of the wreck, were ar
rested on the charge Of causing the
death of John Burke, but were subse-
uuently released on $15, 900 bail each.

MARsHALLTowN, Ia, Aug. S.-The
sense of the delegates in the demo-
cratic state convention held here We'd
nesday was twice taken on the silver
question and the party in this state is
squarely on record as opposed to free
coinage at the ratio of is to |. The first
test WIS indirect, both the free coinage
men and the opposition having candi-
dates for permanent chairman. j. Ii.
Shields, of Dubuque, champion of
sound money, was chosen by vote OF
651 to 427, Later when direct propo-
sition was made to substitute free sill
yer plank for the reatfirmaticn of the
national financial plank of 1892 con-
tanned in the platform as it came from
the committee on resolutions, the silver
men again suffered defeat by a vote OF
651 to 420.
Judge W. f. Babb, of Mt. Pleasant, a
sound money man, was nominated for
governor by acclamation. In the same
manner the nomination for lieutenant
governor went to $. L. Bestow, eX-lieu-
tenant governor, of Charlton, an advo-
cate of free silver and the candidate of
the free coinage men for the perma-
ncnt chairmanShiD The nomination
for railroad commissioner went to Col.
George Jenkins, of Dubuque. and for
state school superintendent to i. b.
Parshall, of Maquoleta. There were
two candidates for supreme judge and

mated, defeating L. E. Hasner, of In

RACE TROUBLES ENDED.

Negroes at Spring Valley are Allowed to
tous
PRINCETON, H., Aug, s.--The war on
negroes by the Italians Of Spring Val
ley has been declared off, aud now after
one day of rioting and three of mob
saw, the Spring Valley Coal Company
will be permitted to resume operations
and the negroes will be allowed to re-
turn to their homes in the city. This
action was taken Wednesday at mass
meeting of all the white miners, which
assembled in the public square at p.
III. About 500 miners were present, the
largest part of whom were English
speaking. Interpreters were present
for the Italians and French. A resolu-
tion was offered to the effect that the
miners of Spring Valley would recog-
nize the Fourteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States, which
guaranteed to every person equal lib
critics without regard to race or color
and that the miners of Spring Valley
would pledge their earnest support to
all officers in the endorsement of the
law.
The resolution was put TO a vote and
was carried by an overwhelming ma
jority. A committee was appointed to
wait upon Manager Dalzell, of the
Spring Valley Coal Company, to inform
him of the action of the meeting and to
report that the miners were ready to
return to work in the mines. Mr.. Dal-
zell had had a talk with the miners in
the morning with reference to the pro-
posed meeting and he agreed to resume
operations in the mines to-day.

A Penetrating Bullet.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. There has
been received at the navy department
sample of steel y of an inch in thick
ness which had been pierced by rifle
bullet of caliber less than that of the
present army rifle, or about 80. The
sample is interesting in that it shows
that torpedo boats may be rendered
useless by good shots from such rifles.
The distance at which the steel sample
vas pierced was about 200 feet. A tor
pedo boats armor, her boiler and ex-
plosives might easily be pierced at this
distance, or before she could make her
projectile dangerous to ship. The
bullet was of steel and pointed.

Let it be understood that the

platform and nominate a candidate
in accordance with the veiws expes-
sed at the primaries, then the party
will not only hold those who favor
the policy declared for and those
who are willing to surrender their
own convictions in order to retain
the party name, but it will draw to
itself those who believe in candor
and honesty in politics and who ia
vor the policy declared for Those
who differ from the policy declared
and whose convictions are deeper
than their love for the party name
will find a political home elsewhere.
1t is not fair that minority of the
party should determine upon the
party policy snd then force thatpol-
icy upon an unwilling majority.
1t is not probable that the gold
standard Democrats will consent
to a primary election, because they
dare not submit the gold standard

control the national convention by
the use of patronage and money

The following story, showing
Gen. Ropert E. Lees magnanimity,
is told, Early in the war, before
he had proved his prominence as a
general, he was severely criticized
on more than one occasion by Gen.
Whiting. Whiting had stood at
the head of his class at West Point
and was considered a bright and
capable man. One day President
Davis, wishing an officer for some
important command. called upon
Gen. Lee for advice. "Wbat do
you think of Whiting?' asked Da-
Wis. Lee answered without hest
tation, commencing Whiting as
one of the ablest men in the army,
we'll qualified in every way for
even the most responsible place
One of the officers present was
greatly surprised, and at the first
opportunity drew Lee aside
don't you know what unkind things
Whiting has been saying about
you?" he inquired. Lees answer
was of the best. 81 understood. y
he said. "that the President desired
to know my opinion of Whiting,
not Writings opinion of me. "

Nothing so worries a physician. Con-

of this loss of flesh is failure to prop
