EXEMPTIONS IN VARIOUS STATES.
Property of Judgment Debtors that Cam not Be Sold Under Execution.

Property of Judgment Debtors that Can ! not Be Sold Under Execution.
 Every state has standard of exemp, tions protecting to a certain extent the property of judgment debtors from levy G2..apd salo under execution to satisfy claims flor debt. In New York state tho exemp- tion Is $1 GOO for homestead and $S50 for household furniture, and the tools of trade required by any mechanic in the pursuit of his business are also exempted. In sPtnnsylvania the exemption Is $500, ap- plying to real estate and personal property conjointly. In Illinois the exemption is $1,000 of real estate and on personal prop erty $500 for a married and $100 for an unmarried person. In Alabama the real estate exemption is $2, 900 and the personal exemption $1,000. In Arkansas 160 acres of land are exempt in the country and $2,500 of real estate within city
 In Maryland there is no real estate ex- emption and only $100 on personal prop erty, exclusive of clothing. In California the real estate exemption is $5, 900, and tbe personal property exemption varies ffrom- s400 to $a,o00 the latter being on miners cabins, tools and claims. In Da-. kota, North and South; Kansas, Missouri, Montana and Louisiana the real estate ex- 0lnpClOn IS lOU acres or laDu. ID I61aS It is 900 acres In Wisconsin and Michigan it is 40 acres. In New Jersey and Oregon there is no real estate exemption.
 Generally speaking, the insolvent laws sof the United States are liberal and leni- ent to debtors in the west, liberal as to land, but strict as to personal property in tho south and strict as to both in tho east ern and New England states. These vari ances are in part explained by the fact that under the homestead law, adopted to promote the settlement of western and southwestern states, certain amount of land was s~exempted by law from attach ments, this operating as an inducement to new settlers. Gradually the exemption of personal estate was extended in order to correspond with the amount of exemption of real estate, which was not the case in tho older portions of the country included within the IS original states. In the ab- sence of national bankruptcy law each state now makes its own regulations both for the seizure and exemption of property. New York Sun.

A BOLD HOLD-UP.
Robbers Go Through a Cripple Creek Passenger Train in Short Order.

VICTOR, Col, March 24.-Florence and Cripple Creek railroad train No. 6, south bound, leaving Victor at 9:50 p. m., was "hed up' last night by five masked rob- bers just outside the city limits. The bandits then went through the mail and express car, but found nothing valuable. The robbers then compelled the expeess messenger to take the lead and after going through the coaches they "held up' sev- eral passengers, taking two or three gold watches and some money. No one was in- jured.
 Two of the thieves boarded the train at Victor. One entered the sleeper and com menced i'm mmediately to wake up the pas sengers, relieving them of $500 and their watches. ' The other robber got on the "blind baggage'' s att Victor and climbed over the tender into the en- zine, holding .the engineer and fire man up, and compelling them to stop the train at point one and half miles south of Victor, where four or five other robbers were in waiting. The latter party commenced work on the mail and express cars and soon had them open.
 The robbers were dressed in mihers' clothes, slouch hats and wore masks. They were jovial in their treatment of the train men, but hurried through with their work, enforcing their commands with a display of firearms. Alter the rob- bery was completed the engineer started the train back to Victor, but lhe robbers ob- jected and commanded the engineer to pull out south, which he. did. All the sur rounding towns were notified by telegraph of the robbery at the first station.

Benton, the American Resident of
 Honduras, Butchered
AND THROWN INTO A LAGOON
Result of the Cruiser Montgom- ery'S Mysterious Voyage
 at Last Found Out.

MOBILE, March 24.- It was learned early went first to Brewers Lagoon, where the officers headed by Captain Davis went ashore and visited the ruins of the house occupied by 0. ". Renton, the murdered American. The tes timony of several wit nesses were taken, among them that of Sam Davis, colored, and James Hardy, white, both of whom were brought to Mo- bile on the cruiser.
 The substance of their testimony was that on the morning of March 16, 1894, Rentou had been called to his door at day break and was shot in four places, being mortally wounded. There were four in the attacking party and after they had shot him they carried him to some remote place where they kept him until night, when they cut him to pieces aud threw the mangled remains into lagoon. They stole all his property, imprisoned his wife, but finally released her and she escaped and made Ter way to the United States.
 It is said that the murder was committed because Renton had property that tue Brewers Lagoon company desired to get control of and there was but one way to get it, to put Renton out of the way, which was done. The officers of the Montgomery will not say so for publication, but it is understood from inform ition they have re- ceived they consider the trial of the sus pected parties the verieSt farce, two of the participants in the murder being intimate friends of the then governor of Honduras.
 Captain Davis will not be interviewed, but it is also understood that he is of the opinion that the Hondurian govern ment should pay indemnity to the widow of Renton and will so reco m mend.

JAPAN DECIDES ON PEACE,
Though Attempting to Keep It
 Secret-Her. Alliance With Russia Assured.

NEW YORK, March 24.-A special to the Tribune from Yokahoma says: From off, cals of the state department it is learned that Japan has decided on peace, although military and naval preparations go on as though the original plan of marching on Pekin was still unaltered. Both the em = peror and Count Ito fear the effect of any announcement that the government is willing 10 grant peace. The common peo- pie are still insane over the war and they will be satisfied with nothing short of the Mikado dictating terms of peace at Pekin. The emperor also still keeps up the fiction of proposed journey to the front, al- though he has really abandoned all idea of accompanying the rmy. A fine house has been built for him at Port Arthur, but this will never be occupied.
 The most important recent occurrence here is the alliapce between Russia and Japan. The terms of this compact cannot be given definitely though they broadly are that Russia will not oppose any cesson of Chinese territory to Japan, anu Japan In return, will pemit Russia to occupy one Corean port with right of way to the trans- Siberian railway, and. the use of the Japan dock yards and coaling stations.
 If this alliance has been formed, as good authorities believe, it puts Japan in posi- tion to defy England and refuse any Brit ish suggestions during peace negotiations. One thing which bears 1t out is the great friendliness of the highest Japanese official for Colonel Wolojack, the Russian military agent. The favors shown have exacted comment as the Japanese have treated coldly the British military attaches.

A SEVERE GALE
Sweeps the South of England, Killing People and Doing Dimage-A
 Collision at Sea.

LONDON, March 24.-A severe gale has swept tho south of England this afternoon and evening. Many houses have been un- roofed. h London three persons have been killed aud three others have been in- jured severely by falling walls. race boat on the Thames was upset and its two occupants were drowned. Many isolated cases of death in the storm have been re- ported from the provinces.
 Several of the ancient aud historic trees at Rugby and Oxford have been uprooted. Three of them were between N and 30 feet each in circumference. h
 The British steamer Storm King, Cap tain Crosby, which sailed from Antwerp March 22 for Boston, has put into Dun- genness with bows damaged, as a result of colliding with and sinking the Italian bark Guizepre, Captain Laure, from Savannah, February IA, for Hamburg.

TELLING TIME IN THE DARK.
1t Needs Only Little Calculation and
 Regular Habits.

Regular Habits.
 "What time is it?"
 II think gan tell you without look ing.''-
 He drew out his watch and held it up close to his ear and slowly turned the stem winder. "One, two, threo, four, five, six, seven, eight" be counted, and tion he said: "That means T2 minutes. wound the watch up tightly at o'clock, and so the time ought to be about 12 min- utes past4. Let's see how near came to it. We'll, it's AIS. was only six min utes off"
 The other was regarding him with amazement. Do you mean to say that you can tell the time of day by winding up your watchS"
 Not exactly, but I can como mighty near it-usually within ten minutes-and it's very simple too. All you have to know is how long one tick in winding up will run tho watch. I'll explain to ycu. Suppose that at o'clock I wind up. my watch until it is tight, as We say-that is, until another turn of the winder would apparently break alspring. At o'clock wind the watch again and find that the wlnder clicks 12 times before the watch is wound up to the place where it sticks.
  watch 120 minutes, and that ono click represents ten minutes of time. :"
 What good is it to know that'"
 Well, suppose you go to bed at II o'clock tonight, and on retiring wind up your watch and put it under your pillow. During the night you wake up and won- der what time it is. You don't want to get up and light the gas. All'you have to do is to pull that watch out from under the pillow, hold it to your ear and count tho ticks as you wind. If you count Is, then you know that the watch has run down 1s0 minutes since Il o'clock, and that the time must be very near o'clock. To be sure,. you can't tell tho exact time, but you can generally get within quar- ter of an hour of 1t. |"
 "Wouldn't the same rule hold good fo- clock or watch which is wound with a key?"
 II dare say it would, but l never tried it on anything except stem winding watch I know blind man who always tells time by winding his watch and counting the ticks. His sense of touch is quite delicate, and he can wind up his watch three or four times day and then calculate within ten minutes of the correct time "-Chicago Record.

IN THE COURTS.

The quo warranto proceedings begun in the circuit court ten days ago against uGge Joseph H. Montgomery of the inferior court will come up for a. hearing before Judge Banks today. Much interest eenters in this case and the result of the trial will be anxiously awaited.
 It is safe to predict, however, that what ever may be the verdict in the circuit court, an appeal to the supreme court will be taken. The main question at issue is the eligibility of Judge Montgomery, who was a member of the legislature creating the office, to fill the position.
 Circuit court will convene in its spring term today and the non-jury docket will be called. large number of state cases are on today's docket.
 CITY COURT.
 Three cases are set for trial in the first division of the city court today. They are Robert N. Reeves vs. sloss Iron and Steel company, Frank Dsfoe vs. 0. w. Austin ct sl., Thomas Jones vs. Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
 Chancery causes will be called in the second division.
 FEDERAL COURT.
 A few criminal cases were carried over from last week in the federal court and they will be disposed of today, after which the civil docket will be called.
 Judge Bruce will be here tomorrow and will preside over the federal court the re- mainder of the term.
 Judge Boarman, it is understood, will go to Huntsville next Monday to hold court there.
 Criminal court will not be in session this week.
 During the three weeks of the present term of the federal court over 260 cases have been disposed of, besides a large number of orders issued. During this time the court has been in session only fifteen days, mak- ing an average of about seventeen cases 6 day. A splendid record, that.

How the Clever Japanese Make Some of Their Marveis For the Market.

Ihelr marveiS TOT tho market.
 AtJamrach s, in London, the other day, some one asked the great animal catcher and importer 'if he had run out of mer maidsf" .s
 "Wo used to koep them," he answered, "when they fetched a4 apiece but now we can't get more than q for them. Frank Buckland burst up the trade when he ex- posed the method of their manufacture by tho Japanese from fish and Q monkey skin cleverly united, so VIC no longer make them leading article, !" he smilingly added.
 'The Japanese are remarkably ingen- ious. Not only that, but they possess in- finite patience. The telescope fish is a case in point. It Is fish of immense length with double fanlike tail, and produced by breeding on the principle of artificial selection. However, they are quite common in Germany now"
 And do you know h ow they get white Java sparrowsf'' sS' They select pair of grayish birds and k6ep them in white cage in white fS5m, and they are attended by a person ! dtessed in white The mental effect on a ssesies of generations of birds results in col pletely white birds They breed the sdDhestic cock with enormously long tails al5br tho same principle. They first select lAHrd with good tail, giving him a very hf& h perch to stand on; then, with ylehts, they drag the tail downward, hc&Fying on the same system with the fHAst specimens of his descendants till a III almost as long as peacock's is pro- d9fed at last. And how marvellous they [ asa in the fertilization of plantsl Did you feY1lr see ono of their dwarf trees, perhaps ZbG years old, and yet not moro than an | tl<h or two high?"

 AND PEASANT.
 MADRID, March 1.-The Imparcial's Ca dig correspondent says the captain of a German steamship reports that he sighted the cruiser Reina Regente in the midst of the storm two weeks ago. He Saw a wave sweep off one of her tunnels. He thinks the same wave must have quenched her fires and left her powerless.
 peasant named Tarifa tells q story to the effect that he saw the cruiser founder about five miles off the shore. He says for some time before she went under she seemed to be entirely beyond control.

 From a spectacular standpoint the fire was a magnificent thing. The packing house plant is located in the west bottoms :, and thousands of people gathered on the west bluff of the city 10 view 1t.
