D~EATH-DEALING HEAT.
The Mercury Goes Up to 122 Degrees
In New South Wales, Causing
Great Mortality.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.-News re-
ceived to-day from Australia says
that during the first two weeks OF
January the heat in new South Wales
surpassed anything on record. The
temperature in Sydney reached lie
degrees in the shade, while in several
parts of the colony the mercury reg
-istered f2a degrees in the shade. In
other colonies the heat was not quite
SO severe, but throughout Victoria the
mercury reached over 100 degrees,
and in South Australia in some places
it marked III degrees 10 the shade.
In Western New South Wales great
mortality has resulted. At Bourke p
deaths from heat occurred in two
days. Many of the houses on sheep
ranches are made of galvanized iron,
and in these the heat is iusufferable.
Many settlers have been driven from
their homes by bush fires, which al
ways occur when the grass is dried up.
In other districts water has given out
and stock is dying.
In a large vineyard district the
young grapes were cooked on the
vines. In Sydney it was found nee
essary to suspend omnibus and car
traffic and to omit drill in the !
barracks. In the gold fields in the
western part Of the colony horses
1ropped dead while hauling ore, and
birds fell dead out of the trees, over
ZONE by the fierce heat. To add to
his suffering, the high temperature
gas accompanied by hot winds.

HOUSE IN THE CLOUDS.
The Highest Inhabited Building in
Europe.

What is said to be the highest in
habited building in Europe is the Alp
inc Clubhouse, on Mt. Rosa. 1t is 12,-
600 feet above the level of the sea.
Were it possible, it would be interest
ing to conduct a series of experiments
on two or three generations of lives
born at that altitude, and reared n
der such unusual conditions. An
thropometric measurements should be
taken of the parents and continued
through succeeding generations. 1t
is more than probable that radical
structural changes of anatomy, par
ticularly in the heart and lungs, would
take place. Were it not for certain
limitations and duties which turn our
thoughts in other directions, we would
gladly undertake such a series of
tests, but under the circumstances we
are obliged to leave them to others.
AT Chicla and Casapalca,in the Andes,
Peru, have existed for centuries In
dian villages, possibly the remains of
the Inca civilization, at heights ex-
ceeding the above. Casapalca is up
ward of $1,000 feet above sea level.
Many of the inhabitants have never
descended to a low level.

MRS. LEASE IN THE PULPIT.
Her First Sermon Was Preached al
Wichita Last Night.

WICHITA, KAs., Feb. 16.-Mrs. Mary
E, Lease began her ministerial career
n this city tonight, and it is safe to
say that no minister ever entered upon
sacred labors with more f~attering
prospects than did the noted Kansas
woman The Central Church of Christ,
one of the largest in the city, was
crowded to the limit of it's capacity,
and many thousands were turned
away.
1t had been expected that Mrs.
Lease would deal largely in sensation
afsm, but her theme and Its exposition
were far removed from anything of
that nature. Many noted divines
have spoken to Wichita audiences, but
none of them was accorded such an
enthusiastic reception as was Mrs.
Lease. 1t is predicted that her fame
a pulpit orator will far exceed that
which she has achieved as a reformer.

No. a Matter of Utility

The various philosophical people
throughout the country who are ask
ing ''of what use would be the dis
covery of the north pole!" are vast
ing time.
The question of utility does not en-
ter into consideration. The efforts to
find the north pole are merely the ex-
preston of an imperious demand
which lat this day lis universal through
out the civilized world. 1t Is the de-
mand for knowledge-the laudable
curiosity which has determined that
the world, and the whole of it, must
be revealed to man and understood by
him. This is the sentiment which has
made the discovery of the north pole
a necessity.
And the sentiment will not be satis-
fed after the north pole is discovered.
1t will increase with time until the
south pole, also, and the interior of
the darkest of dark continents have
given up their secrets to mankind.

BARN BURNER HANGED.
Fountain Martin Taken From Jail at
Monticello, KY, and Lynehed.

LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. IA mob OF
twenty masked men attacked the
Wayne county jail, at Monticello, at
an early hour yesterday morning. The
jailer was overpowered, his keys taken
away, the cells unlocked and Fountain
Martin and James Troxell, white men,
who were arrested several weeks ago,
charged with burning the barn of
Bonnie Bates, were taken from the
prison. The men were taken to a
point near Steubenville, where, in a
little grove the body of Martin was
found to-day suspended from a limb.
Troxell appeared at a farm house 3
miles from the scene of the hanging
and got breakfast yesterday morning.
He said that while the mob were hang
ing Martin he made his escape in the
darkness. This was the third attempt
to lynch Troxell. Three weeks q he
was taken from his hons by a mob
and hanged to a tree until he was
nearly dead, in order to induce him to
confess to the burning of Bates barn,
tell who did it. He swore out war
rants the next day fer a number of
men in and around Steub-
vile, but he never appeared against
them, and was later placed in Jail with
Martin, who had at first been charged
with burning the Bates barn.
While in Jail each accused the other
Of burning the barn and of other barn
burning. The Stenbenville people
earned of these conversations be-
iween Martin and Troxell and, believ-
ng them both guilty of destroying
learly a o of barns in Wayne
county during the past year, they de-
ermined to make short work of them.
No one has seen Troxel since he got
reakfast yesterday morning, and It ia
,eiieved he is making his way into the
Mountains, where pursuit
1ould be we'll nigh impossible.

FREE COINAGE BILL DEFEATED.
The Bond Measure Substitute Knocked
Out in the House by the Decisive
Vote of PIG to 80.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-the long
debate in the House on the silver
question was brought to a close to-
day and the free coinage bill passed
by the Senate was defeated by a vote
of 215 to 80. The House then voted to
nonconcur.
This was the most decisive defeat
that silver has received in the House
of Representatives since the free
coinage question became a leading is
sue in politics. 1t is admitted by. the
silver men that it was a deadly blow
and it will be a long time before the
silver advocates can recover from it.
1t is evident that there vas not more
than 100 free coinage votes in the
House out of 356 members. Taking
into consideration the members paired
to-day and the absentees, the strength
of the silver cause would not exceed
100 votes.
OF the PIC votes cast against the free
coinage bill, 1856 were cast by Repub-
licans and 81 by Democrats. OF the 80
votes cast in favor of free coinage, Sc
were cast by Democrats, 26 by Repub-
leans and 7 by Populists. 1t is to be
taken into consideration, of course,
that all in authority here were opposed
to the free coinage bill. The influence
of the administration was against it
and so was the influence of the organ
ization of the House OF Representa-
tives.
MIR. Reed personally appealed to
the Republican members to vote
against free coinage and of all of
the Speakers ~lleutenants and man
ayers on the floor made personal ap-
peals to Western and Southern Re-
publicans to vote against the Senate
bill. But allowing for the influence of
the administration and the Speaker on
the other hand, it is clear that the free
coinage cause has received a very
stunning blow. This is reluctantly ad-
mitted by the radical silver men, yet
still they are lot discouraged and hope
to win out eventually.
The closing debate on the bill was
marked by much ability and earnest
ness of purpose.
Ex-Spsaker Crisp spoke for free
coinage and made one of the strongest
and most plausible arguments he has
ever delivered in the House of Repre-
sentatives. He held the floor for an
hour and a half and was listened to
with unusual attention. He went into
the question deeper than is customary
with him and showed that he had de-
voted a great deal of study to the
question. The speech of the day,
however, was delivered by Judge
Turner, of Georgia, who sits cross the
aisle from Mr.. Crisp.
Judge Turner always commands the
attention of the House, and to-day
was no exception. He was granted
unlimited time to speak, and held the
floor for two hours. His argument
was massive, brilliant, effective. Like
Crisp he had gone into the question
deeply, but he reasoned differently.
He opposed free coinage all along the
line, and gave reasons for the faith
within him. The debate was closed by
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, who
spoke against free coinage. Mr.. Dalzell
hardly came up to his usual standard
as a speaker, and failed to hold the at
tention of the House. He spoke for
an hour.

cLARK's LETTER.
He Wrote to Each OF the Audrain
County Committeeman.

BY request of one of the Committee
men, the LEDGER publishes the follow
ing letter written by Hon. Champ
Clark to the members of the Audrain
County Democratic Committee:
MEXICO, Mo, February Isl have
it on what l deem good authori-
ty, that on next Monday there will be
a scheme laid before the Audrain
County Democratic Committee to Sc
lect delegates to a Congressional Con-
vention by means of a County Dele
gated Convention or something of the
sort to be held ON or about April 6.
Since my term in Congress expired
| have said little about politics, wish
ing to leave the people perfectly free
to determine, in their W way, whom
they desired for Representative, and
not desiring in any manner to endeavor
to force myself upon them.
Recently, however, SO many Demo
Gratis have expressed their expectation
and desire that l should make the race
that | have determined to become a
candidate.
/ have come to this conclusion large
ly from the fact that / was defeated
for my second term in 1s94-alopg
with a host of other Democrats-under
conditions which ! have never regard
ed as a fair test OF either party or per-
sonal strength.
want time enough to canvass the
district, which will not be afforded by
SO early a date as the one suggested,

from the Gath of February to the 14th
of March, both inclusive.
want to meet the people of Au-
drain, and any other candidate shall
have ample opportunity to meet the
people of Pike.
| suggest that in the present disor-
ganized condition of Democratic at
fairs, in both State and nation, that~it
would probably be better to postpone
the nomination of Congressman till
after the State and National Conven-
tions.
Also, it may be urged that the Con-
gressional Committee has not yet fixed
a basis of representation or a place or
time for nominating a Congressman,
and that any action by any county in
advance of such action by the Con-
gressional Committee might be con
sidered premature and lead to un-
pleasant complications.
know that you, as we'll as myself,
have the good of the party at heart
and I make these suggestions that
harmony may prevail and that success
may be secured. Yours Truly,
