Too Much Land for One Man.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 3O.-William
Thorpe, a wealthy New York railroad
contractor, recently purchased 1,4O0
acres of land in the lower end of Luz
zerne county. He erected number OF
buildings, planted trees and built fences.
The buildings have been destroyed by
incendiaries, the trees torn up and the
fences destroyed. 1t is alleged that
some people liuing in the vicinity said,
after Mr. Thorpe had made his pur-
chase, that 1,4O0 acres Of land were too
much for one man to own.

Remarkable Complaint Filed in Wiscon-

FOND DU LAC, Wis, Oct. 30.-A doc
ument of remarkable character has
been filed with the clerk of the court
1t was the complaint in suit brought
to recover title to the electric plant in
this city. The most astounding feature
of the complaint is the acknowledgment
Of w. G. Decelle that he entered into Il
conspiracy to defraud the creditors of
the Fond du Lac Light, Power and
Railway company, and that Elihu Col
man, acting as his attorney, was party
in the swindle. The suit is the imme-

Whitcomb, who, with Colman, the
First National bank of Chicago and tho
st. Paul Trust company are named as
defendants.

William Dean Howells in The Ladies'

ST. LOUIS, Jan. S.-Although this in
self OF many OF the peculiarities that have
heretofore stamped it as more Of an old
time southern than a modern western
town, the transformation is still far from
complete, ard it is this very survival of an
occasional feature of other days that rem
ders the place entertaining to the curious
visitor.
Standing within by foot Enclosure
Of iron fence, near the white painted old
courthouse, for instance, is an iron post,
topped with a bread, fat, circular plate.
Rising from the center Of the plate is :
triangular projection, and there is an iron
hinged cover attached, evidently intended
to be closed when the weather is bad.
Such a continuance is a rare sight nova

AIDES ago, especially in the southwest,
that was without one, and no one would
have been at loss regarding its use. But
there is not 8 day in a twelvemonth these
modern times, so the courthouse janitor
told me today, that some stranger does
not inquire curiously about the one in the
st. Louis courtyard.
But of co'se,' said he refectively, pull

a5 st. Louis it is noticeable that those
who have served even one term in congress
were earnest in that caucus in favor of a
short platform and only one or two promi
nent issues while those without expert
ence were in favor of sweeping the whole
field. Jerry Simpson says that all the lib
eral elements Of the west, including nearly
all the Democrats west Of Ohio could be
combined in 1896 on a platform with three
planks-free coinage of silver, with dis
continuance of national banks; reduction
of the tariff to a real revenue basis, and
such government control of railroads and
aelegraphs as will ultimately lead to gov
eminent ownership. Jerry says that the
railroad charged his constituents last sum-
mer from three to seven times as much
per car of watermelons to Kansas City as
per car of wheat simply because the farm
er could wait with the wheat and couldn't
with the watermelons. and SO the traffic
would bear it,"
Prospects of Legislation.
If 1 may judge the whole from those
who talk freely to me, the faction in favor
of doing nothing but routine business at
this session has grown rapidly during the
holidays. By the same test the unwilling
ness to see q called session of the Fifty
fourth congress has grown rapidly less
Western Democrats of the type of Mr..
Bryan, Mr. Geary of California, Mr. Nc
Gam of Chicago and Champ Clark say
that no banking and currency bill what
ever can prove success, and with them
agree, as think, q majority of the repre-
sentatives from the gulf states. They
think this year is to give our financial sys-
TEN the severest trial it has had in our
time and while the best attainable bill
would fail TO do good there are inherent
defects in all the bills proposed. As any
bill passed this year is certain to fail, they
very naturally prefer to have the Repub-
licans take the responsibility of it. OF
course most OF these men maintain that
the gold basis is steadily contracting, and
that on that basis no human wisdom can
insure a large paper currency. They are
for more silver in some form and most of
them for free coinage. Nevertheless Mr.
Bland does not hope to get his amendment
or substitute adopted. There is not much
news in the statement that this congress
is very much at sea on the finances, but
the fact, as shown by the talk of all the
members who have recently conferred with
their constituents, that it is more at sea
now than ever is important and makes me
wonder at the confident statements of
some Of the leading metropolitan papers
that satisfactory bill will soon be passed.
