Je.ty WORK progressing wen.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. l6.-Capt.
Derby, OF the United States engi-
neers, and his assistant, Lieut..
Richie, lately made trip down the
river for the purpose OF inspecting
the levees in course OF construction
as far down as Point Celeste. The
captain said that he was satisfied
with the work done, as the con-
tracts were being pushed toward
completion as rapidly as possible.
1t had been found necessary to
stop work on few levees on &C.
count Of the high water, but he
said, as the water is falling all
along the river, and as the fall has
been felt here,sit was probable that
work would be renewed in a day or
80. During the latter part of the
week Capt. Derby intends to take
q run up the river to see how things
are progressing along the upper
banks.

Moral spasm Struck Trenton

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 16.-An at
tempt to enforce the Blue laws was
made here Sunday. The local
Ministerial union recently called
the attention OF Mayor Yard to
the fact that many stores were be-
ing kept wide open on Sundays,
and he sent the unions letter to
the police commissioners and di-
rected them to act. 1t was given
out then that all traffic on Sunday
must cease save that in milk,
drugs and newspapers, and further
exceptions were made in favor OF
the street cars, barber shops and
telegraph offices. The result has
been the closing of confectioneries,
cigar stores, saloons and restau-
rants,

Licked By a Reporter.

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 16.-A diff
ficulty occurred in the rotunda OF
the capitol building Tuesday, just
outside of the hall of the house Of
delegates between Isaac Diggs,
member of the house from King
William and Clarence Boykin, re-
porter on the Richmond Dispatch,
in which the legislator received
several hard blows in the face,
which disflurged him considerably.
The cause of the difficulty was the
report OF Diggs' speech in the
house made by Boykin, and which
the delegate declared in that body
was erroneous in one particular.

The Deadlock Tigh.ens.

JACKSON, January Ex-senator
Georges successor is still un-
named. After four ballots tonight,
each of which necessarily con-
sumed great deal of time, every
body was tired, and when the mo-
ton was made to adjourn it was
seconded by Judge Critz, a strong
money man.
The deadlock is apparently on,
though there is feeling that a
crash may come at any moment
among some of the weaker candi-
dates, in which case the Money
men claim they will get the IL
votes necessary to nominate him.
so lfar sthe leaders have stood up
valiantly and confidently, and say
they will continue to do so. There
are more than enough second
choice votes to elect Col. Money,
and when the break comes his
friends expect a favorable result.
: Attempts will be made by all
candidates to strengthen their
lines and tonight the voting will
be resumed.

The Liberals Are Am Right.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The discus

continues active in the liberal

grudging concessions in the Times
are not considered in well-informed
quarters as indicating serious
change Of heart in Lord Salisbury.
The United States may measure
arbitration by the growing or de-
creasing perils of the complica-
ton. Apparently, after Chamber
lain's action, there is no present
menace between the two countries.

PREFERRED sTRYcHNINE
To Going to the Pen,tentiary.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. 16.--A
Morning News dispatch from
Americas says: L. L. Floyd, a
young white man who, for several
years, has been night engineer at
the water works pumping station,
died in the guard house at 10
o'clock Sunday, from the effects Of
strychnine taken some time during
the night. He was a sober and
frugal young man, and had accu-
mulated property.
Saturday night, soon after Floyd
left to go to his work, the cook dis
covered light above the ceiling
over the cook room. Investiga-
tion disclosed the fact that light
ed candle with lightwood splintt RS
had been carefully arranged
so that the splinters would ignite
the shingles OF the house. The only
opening through the ceiling to the
candle was in a closet in Floyd's
room.
Chief Wheeler went othe pump
ing station and arrested him. About
IL o'clock he called to some of the
firemen and asked for some paper
as he wanted to write a letter.
Yesterday morning when the
policemen visited the prison, Floyd
was having spasms. DIR. Jorans,
who was sent for, discovered that
he had taken strychnine. 1t is not
known where he got the drug. 1t
Is supposed that he had 1t on his
person when arrested. Examina-
ton after death revealed the fact
that $75 and two letters were in
his pocket.
One of these letters was to the
police and the other to his brother,
at Townsville. He requested his
remains to be sent to his parents,
who live seven miles from Thomas
vile. He wanted to be buried in q
cheap coffin, and directed that this
should be done. He expressed a
desire that his brother have his
property.
He was Knight Of Pythias in
good standing, and had $1,000 in
surauce In the endowment rank.

PLENTY OF MONEY,
wAR-sHIPs AND MEN TO FIGHT.
All They Want is to Be Recognized
by the United States.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. TO-
The Cuban junta in this country
is very hopeful that Cuba will
secure recognition from the pres
emit congress, and with this end in
view is preparing to arrange to
send to the island a fairly strong
fleet Of vessels to act as a navy.
One Of the leaders said last
night:
"Just as soon as we are accorded
belligerants' rights, either by this
or any other country, then we will
have fleet of vessels fully able to
cope with the great majority of
vessels the Spaniards now have
around the Island of Cuba. Our
representatives at Washington
have been very much encouraged
within the past week or ten days,
and we think that the recognition
is not far distant. With that end
in view the representatives Of the
Junta In this and other cities have
been canvassing the owners of YES
sells in various parts OF this coun-
try and England. We have so far
obtained options on five vessels, all
that are needed. These options
hold good for six months, and we
have paid small deposits on each
OF them to hold this option.
"The remainder Of money nec-
essary to make these purchases
has bsen guaranteed to US by a
syndicate OF wealthy capitalists,
composed OF Cubans and Ameri-
cans.
This question of money for all
our wants, for that matter, is only
the question of our obtaining bel
ligerant rights. All talk of expedi-
tions to the island at the present
time is to large extent untrue.
We are not sending any, for we
have made different arrangements.
We have entered into contract
with the owners of several vessels,
who agree to deliver on the island
such men and arms and ammu.
milton as we desire to send. These
men and arms and ammunition go
out with regular passengers and
freight. 1t has worked we'll SO
far, no hitch having occurred"

HOGS AND PROSPERITY
IN THE PALMETTO STATB-W0-
MEN AS FARMERS.
One Porker Weighed sol Pounds
and Captured $50 Prize.


CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. 16.-
The News and Courier offered one
hundred dollars in gold to the
farmer who would raise the heav-
lest hog in South Carolina last
year. The prizes have been award
ed, the first prize Of $50 in gold to
Master w. j. Richardson, of Abbe-
vile county, whose hog weighed
sol pounds. 1t gained this weight
in 297 days at cost of $22.16, or
31-4 cents pound. Richardson's
hog gained at the rate OF nearly
two pounds a day. The second
prize was won by j. M. Leech, of
York county, whose hog weighed
562 pounds, after living we'll for
only 273 days. Leech's hog was
raised at a cost OF 1855, or little
over three cents pound. 1t gain
ed nearly two pounds in weight a
day. The third prize for the most
meat at the least cost is in dou bit.
ID. II. F. Manson, of Edgefield
county, and BENZ. Hiott, Of Collie
ton, being competitors for the
prize.
The News and Courier published
special edition Monday giving
the names of the contestants and
and the methods of hog.raising in
South Carolina. Commenting up
on the hog contest the paper says:
"The News and Courier believes
In South Carolina. 1t Is the larg-
est cotton manufacturing state in
the south. 1t has more than
enough undeveloped water power
to turn all the spindles in New
England. 1t has produced the
largest yield Of corn on one acre
Of land ever grown in the United
States. 1t has developed in the
past few years into one of the larg-
est tobocco growing States in the
Union. 1t has in Charleston the
largest fertilizer manufacturing
center in the world. In proportion
to size and population it made last
year more hog and hominy than
any other state in the south. The
News and Courier believes that
there is nothing that Is fit to eat
that cannot be produced in South
Carolina; that there is nothing fit
to wear that cannot be made in
South Carolina; that there are
none of the comforts. or luxuries
Of life which cannot be found in
South Carolina.
"The News and Courier believes
that the people Of South Carolina
can live at home and should live
at home; that there is no necessity
why they should buy pound Of
meat, bushel Of corn or wheat or
oats, a bale of hay or yard Of
cloth that is not grown or raised
or manufactured in South Caro-
lima.
"The first prize in the hog con-
test was won by a South Carolina
boy, but the competition was close
all along the line. The women
made a specially good record as
farmers. AS the result of the
News and Courier work, more
hogs were raised in South Caro-
lima last year than in any year
since the war"

The First English Shilling Magazine.

AS we all know, Alexander Mac
milan was the first to project shil-
ling magazine in place Of the old
quarterlies at shillings and maya
zines at half crown. The new ven
ture, Macmillan's Magazine, was
made in the autumn of 1850, soon
after the establishment of the Lon
don business in Henrietta street,
with Professor Mason as the first
editor. A name for the new period
ical was long time under considera-
ton. Tennyson's "Idylls of the
King"-the first volume-was then
fresh in mems memory and admira-
ton, and title, in some way arising
out of the "Idylls" was seriously
contemplated. King Arthur and The
Round Table were two suggested,
and one or the other was very near
ly adopted.
The present writer we'll remem-
bers being one of party of friends
of the firm assembled in Henrietta
street on the evening when Profess
or Masson's counsel was finally &C.
cepted that the periodical should
bear only the name of its founder.
A trace of the original suggestions
is still to be seen in the design on
the cover, where "the blameless
king" appears in the center medal
lion at the top, the other three COM
plotting the design being Chaucer,
Shakespeare and Milton. -Macmil-
lan's Magazine.
