Nothing; only been taking down the

you ever try to do anything under those
circumstances? After nearly falling out of
the third-story window, banged my thumb
with the hammer, jammed a finger in a
spring, hollered murder and stepped on the
dog and had my wife take him up in her
arms and moan and sob over him. Yes, sir,
she was inconsolable over the yelping brute,

l called back sarcastically that I was not
dead, at which she said: Dear me, what a
shock for my poor nerves! When 1 de-

How the Hand Keeps Its Cunning.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Il don't believe that the hand or eye ever
loses it's cunning" remarked a gentleman
Of the newspaper fraternity the other day.
Now, I have not had time during the last
twenty years to engage In the sports of the
field or forest. A couple of weeks since
was one OF the guests of a well-known
banker of this city at his hunting lodge in
the country. We went hunting. and must
confess that 1t was with many misgfvings
that. 1 accepted the shotgun our host In
sisted that l should shoulder, and went
into the fields to chase the gay and festive
partridge and lark. I hadn't shot a sun
during the time mentioned. I waited until
no one was looking, and blazed away at a
field lark which was flying across a clear
ing with his little peculiar jerky flight, and
down he came. ] did 1t again and again
Shot doves in full flight, and all that sort
of thing, and capped the climax by shoot
ing two larks when saw only one, the
second happened to cross the range tust
as 1 pulled tho trigger, suppose, but at
any rate bagged two and, carried the
horns during the remainder Of the day.
Now, 1 was considered good shot in the
days when we had time enough to beat the
brush, and my hand and eye evidently re-
tanned every bit OF their o1d-time cunning.

thing that peeped above the tall weeds in
the fields during my unusual outing Real
ly believe I'll try 1t again.

~ lille 1 have expressed myself thus
frankly as to the necessity Of such a re-
vision Of the tariff as will cause it to yield
sufficient revenue, and at the same time en-
courage American industries, yet believe
that whatever steps are taken should be
taken with care and modera ton. not giving
just occasion for criticism by sound money
democrats, who have co-operated with US
in the campaign.
Certainly If all these men have the pa
triotism and good sense shown by Bourke
Cochran in his speech at the New York
chamber of commerce dinner, they will not
be likely to find occasion to criticise any
action that is likely to be taken by republi-
cans to secure revenue and correct the
glaring inequalities of the present tariff"

A Tragic End.

NEWPORT, N. H., Juhe Mr.. Aus
tin Corbin and his nephew, Corbin
Edgeu, with DR.. Paul Kunzier and
Coachman John Stokes, started on a
fishing trip about3 o'clock this after
noon. On going out of the yard at
the farm house the horses SHE'D, tip
ping over the open carriage, throwing
the occupants down an embankment
about eight feet against a stone wall
The family saw the accident from the
piazza and hurried to his assistance
with the farm help. The entire party
were found to be seriously hurt. The
coachman was unconscious and re-
mained so until o'clock, when he
died. Mr.. Corbin was conscious, but
was so terribly injured that he died at
9:42 tonight. DR.. Kunzier was thrown
over the wall and sustained broken
arm and sprained ankle so far as
known, and Corbin Edgell had his
leg twice broken between the knee
and ankle. Stokes's skull was frac.
tured. Mr.. Corbin's injuries consisted
of a compound fracture of the right
Ieg above and below the knee, fear
full scalp wound over four inches long
on the forehead, cut through to the
skull, one on the right side or the head
three inches long, and the lip and
chin cut badly. The cause of the
team shying is said to have been that
the coachman was driving them with
out blinders for the first time.

Another Advance Made.

The Kelley cure has been introduced
into the st. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore,
Md. The good Sisters realize that in
he Kelley cure is found the only hope
for those addicted to the liquor and
morphine habits. and have made a
contract with the Keely Institute OF
Maryland by which the Kelley treat
ment shall be administered at their hos.
pital by regular physicians instructed
by DR.. Kelley. This is another argu-
ment proving that the Sisters OF Char
ity occupy the front place in the care
of the diseased and In the service OF
suffering humanity. The treatment
was adopted four years ago by the
United States government and is used
at the National home. Proving so ef-
ficacious the treatment is now given
at Fort Leavenworth Post, to the otti-
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
army. During the past two years the
States of Maryland, Minnesota, Colo
RADIO, Louisiana, North Dakota, Wis
consin and others have by legislative
enactments provided that INDECENT
liquor and morphine habitues be given
the treatment.
The Kelley Institute of South Caro-
lima continues its good work at Co.
lumbia, and any information desired
may be had by addressing that instl-
tute or drawer 81.

Congressman Stokes Unseated.

WASHINGTON. June This was
suspension" day in the House and
a number of minor bills were passed
under suspension of the rules. The
Johnson. Stokes election contest, from
the Seventh District of South Carroll
ma. was the first business. Mr.. Nc
Call of Massachusetts,, chairman of
the election committee, made a mo-
ton to reconsider the vote of Friday,
by which the House refused to adopt
the minority report that Johnston
was elected. The motion was passed
without division. Then he offered q
substitute that there was no valid elec.
ton and that neither Johnston nor
Stokes was entitled to the seat and on
a rising vote the substitute was ADOPT
ed by the narrow margin of one, the
result being yeas 1O4, nays 103. On
the yea and nay vote the substitute
was adopted-13O-125. Its effect is to
declare the seat vacant. Those vot-
ing for the substitute were 70 Demo
Gratis, 50 Republicans and Populists.
Those opposed were all Republicans.

The Law Unconstitutional.

CHARLESTON, June 4.-Judge Simon
ton declared in his opinion filed today
that so much of the dispensary law
which refers to the seizing, testing and
confscation of liquors, ordered for
personal consumption by the residents
of this State, is in conflict with the
Constitution of the United States, and
is therefore null and void. lie holds
that resident has the right to order
his liquor from beyond the State. and
to receive it without having it inter-
fered with in any manner. The opin,,
ion is a lengthy and exhaustive legal
document. 1t fully covers the subject
matter which has been in dispute.
The greater portion of the opinion
deals with the section of the law re-
ferring to the testing of liqurs, and, as
stated above, Judge Simonton denies
the validity of such testing. He con-
siders it a burden on commerce.
Judge Simonton Shows that the pro-
visions of the law are directed towards
giving the State a monopoly of the IL
quor trade. In conclusion, he states:
"The present act gives to certain per-
sons, the board of control, the sole
power of purchasing and importing
into this State an article recognized as
an article of commerce. The monop-
oly is invested in them by provisions
of such stringency and secured by
such extraordinary sanctions that
every other person of this State and
all citizens of other States are abso-
lutely deprived of competition with
them. Thus the products, as well as
the citizens of other States, are dis
criminated against, and interstate
commerce is destroyed"

Fire and Dynamite.

HABANA, June 1.-The entire town
of Jamaica, near Habana, has been
burned by the rebel band under the
command of the insurgent leader Cas-
tillo. A party of rebels yesterday
placed dynamite bombs upon the rail
way track near Sabinalla, in the Ma,
tanzas province, which were exploded
by regular train containing a num-
ber of workmen. The train was
completely wrecked. The engineer
and several workmen were injured.
A band of rebels made an attack upon
the town of Santiago las Vegas in the
province of Habana today, but were
repulsed. The rebel bands under
Ansalmo and Rodriguez entered the
town of Puerta de la Guira, south of
the trocha. yesterday, and set fire to
the place, burning every building
down

Eeypt Raises More Cotton.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Inspired by
the high prices realized by the cotton
crop of 1866, Egyptian planters
have this spring increased the area to
the maximum limit permitted by the
country's irrigation facilities. Exact
figures are not procurable, but it is
estimated that the increase of acreage
is from to8 per cent. and that this
seasons's area appoximates, 1,150, 900
acres. The greatest percentage of in.
crease is in provinces south of Cairo.
Conservative forecasters believe the
crop will yield 100000 bales of $50
pounds-being the equivalent of 1, ,125,
0CO American bales, and the largest
ever raised in the Nile valley. Pre-
dicated on the yearly increase of ship.
ments to America, it is probable that
the United States will buy IS, 1000 bales
of the Egyptian cotton, equal to about
100000 bales of American weight.
These facts are as reported to the
state department by United States
Consul General Penfeld at Cairo.

Tho Dead Exposition.

Thurs sday there was special meet
ing in Columbia of the executive COM
mittee of the South Carolina exposi-
company which had undertaken to
secure a first-class exhibit for the
State of South Carolina at the Cotton
States exposition, but which has now
gone by the board. The meeting was
for the purpose of seeing what could
be done about defraying the expenses
of the work already done by the COM
mittee. South Carolina, as all know,
was the first of the southern States in
the field insofar as the actual work OF
getting up the exhibit was concerned
and much had been accomplished in
that direction, Commissioner Roche
wasting no time.
The committee adopted the follow.
ing resolutions:
Whereas, it has been determined not
to hold the Southern States exposition
and
Whereas, certain liabilities have al
ready been incurred by the executive
committee, which must be paid, be it,
therefore,
Resolved, That for the purpose OF
meeting and defraying these expenses
the commissioners of the respective
counties be, and they are hereby re.
quested, to collect the sum of per
per cent. of the amount originally as.
sessed against their respective coun,
ties, and forward the same to w. A.
Clark, treasurer OF the committee al
Columbia, s. @.
Resolved, further, That in cases
where commissioners have already
forwarded their amounts or any por,
thereof, the treasurer be authorized to
return to the said commissioners the
balance remaining of their respective
remittances after paying said liabili'
ties.

Murdered q German Officer,

LONDON, June 3.-The Globe pub
fishes dispatch from Shanghai which
says that since the return of Viceroy
Liu Kun Yih of Nankin, the German
officers who were lent to China by
Germany to drill the Chinese troops,
have been repeatedly insulted, hope be-
ing entertained that they would resent
the insult by resigning. This practice
not having the desired result, the
Chinese have resorted to violence,
ending in the murder of German
officer named Krauz by the Human
body guard of the viceroy, and the
German squadron has been ordered to
proceed to Nankin forthwith. 1t is
believed, the dispatch says, that all of
the German officers in the Chinese
service will resign.

Fatal Runaway.

GUYToN, Ca, June 4.-Sherif E..
u. Jaudon's horse became unmanage-
able yesterday afternoon and ran
away. The road cart was upset by
coming in contact with wagon and
the sheriff was thrown out violently

several pieces and knocked nearly all
of the flesh from one side of his face.

once and it was thought that his inJu
ries would not prove fatal, but he died
today at 1 o'clock.

SIX SQUARE MILES OF RUIN.
Wrecked Houses in St. Louis Would Line
Street Eighty-five Miles Long.

ST.. LOUIS, June 4.-There have
been lust IS miles of streets obstructed
by debris as result of the tornado. AL
of these streets have been made passa
BILE and will be cleaned up in 10 days
In the city there are 4SO miles OF I'M
proved streets, so it can be seen tG
what extent the tornado interrupted
traffic.
The storm district on its outside
lines, extend from the river on Inc
east to Tower Grove avenue on the
west, and. from Olive street on tne
north to Lynch street on the sensi.'
This comprises an area of six square
miles. The extreme Limits were three
miles east and west, and two miles
~ An adequate ideaof the damage can
be formed when it is stated that if all
the houses damaged and blown down
were on both sides of the one street,
that street would be just IS miles
long. The figure is given by the
street commissioner who has been
through the entire district and from
tho reports of his general superintend-
ent who has cut roadway through
the IS miles of streets.
In addition to this, there are many
more streets obstructed by wires and
the like, which are not counted in the
total. 1t has been feared that large
number of the people now reported
missing from East st. Louis found
watery graves.
In the light of recent developments
it seems as though these fears were
not unfounded, for in the past two
days, two bodies have been dragged
from the Mississippi's waters. The
body of an unknown woman was
taken from the water near East Caron-
delet. It still lies unidentified. Tony
Messing, who formerly lived at No.
1886 North Nineteenth street, was
found in the water near the Pittsburg
dyke at the East st. Louis elevator.
Messing was employed by the Donk
Bros. coal yards and was known to
have been near the river front at the
time of the storm. 1t was supposed
tnat he was blown into the river. In
addition to this a large number of
horses and other animals have been
found in the debris which was collect.
ed along the bank. A number of
these horses were fully harnessed, and
as the storm occurred at time when
the river front was crowded with teams
going to and coming from st. Louis
with the last load for the day, it is
thought that number of the drivers
may also have been swept into the
stream.
There is no way to fully determine
the number of missing.
