SOUTHERN SUPERSTITION.
Cotton Planters Blame tho TeIe.
phone for the Slump in Prices and
DESTROY the Wires.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. April 18-The
superstitious feeling in this section is as
Stunning threatening proportions. Until
within the last few months telephone
lines have been unknown. Recently many
towns have linked themselves together.
The more ignorant element could not I'M
derstand how a man in Huntsville could
speak to another a hundred miles away.
About the time the long-distance tele-
phone was run out Of Huntsville the price
OF cotton deprecated. Farmers, unable
to account Tor the slump, blamed the tele-
phone. at first it was mere suggestion,
but later it became an actual belief along
the entire line built by the Georgia and
Alabama Company. On many occasions
poles have been chopped down and wires
cut by farmers in their mad belief that
they were responsible for the low price of
cotton. One line. extending from Gads-
den to Walnut Grove, has been victim
of this superstition half dozen times.
One farmer pulled down seven miles Of
wire. The court may grant an injunc-
ton, but so thoroughly aroused are the
farmers that nothing short of armed
guards will prevent the tearing down of
the entire system.

Presbyterian clergy man, who had met the
man In San Francisco, had faith in his
claims and invited him to become his
guest. The local presbytery undertook 10
ma out whether the man was an impos-
tor, but he showed he was we'll versed in
the doctrines of the Creek church. An
other test imposed was a translation oi
aieroglyphic tablets in the Smith sonian
institution. He performed the task so
wei that he proved himself 10 be an able
Oriental scholar.
People began to think him mildly in
sane ana he was persuaded to start for
Bagdad. He stopped in London, and
Inquired prominently in the newspapers
through an attempt to secure the protec-
ton OF the British Government on the
ground that he was one of her Majesty's
subjects and heir to the patriarchal throne
at Trichur, India.
a letter Just received by DR.. Easton
from Rev. John H. Barrows of Chicago
who is travelling in India, shows that the
claims OF the lonely Oriental were true
and have been recognized. Barrows SAYS
that John Joseph Nou-i, Archdcacon of
Baylor, was crowned Patriarch at the
Chaldean Ponfical Cathedral at Trichur
Malabar. and is living in splendor in a
royal palace. The coronation occurred in
February. Archdeacon Nouri's elevation
to pontifical throne makes him ruler over
Syrian Chaldeans of Trichur.

Government statistics show that Issa-

any other county in the cotton belt, but
the percentage of its acreage not covered bv

There is little prospect of any but the
front lands north of Talluleh showing up
sufficiently to be planted before June Is,
which means no crop.

THOSE KERASc0Pc PICTURES.
Manager Brady Closely Scans the Mega
tive of the Round in Which HIS
Idol Is Sboffered

BOSTON, MASS, A pril 1S.-A New York
special says: The pictures of the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight are ready for printing.
Some are remarkably good, but the best
are those of the least interesting rounds.
There is one excellent picture. however,
which will cause an almost endless
amount of discussion. 1t is a moment in
the fourteenth round following the knock
out blow. as described by one who has
seen the negatives. 1t shows Cor bett col
lapsing, with one knee on the floor. his
hands down, Fitzsimmons bending over
him and his right glove in conjunction
with the point of Corbetts chin. This
blow may or may not have been foul
and will be the bone OF much contention
This negative is said to be one OF the
clearest in the series and has been exam
ined with great interest by William A.
Brady, manager for the defeated COM
Blatant. He is said to have spent two
hours carefully examining with a high
power glass the series following the knock
out blow.
The taking OF pictures began with the
camera at the extreme right of the arena.
The space In front was kept clear of spec
tators. as but few favored persons got in
among them. Stuart and his hat for seven
minutes INSTRUCTED the field of the camera,
SO that the first thousand feet of film
bear only pictures of that hat with
penumbra of ringside incidents. The
sixth round is obscured in important parts
by fog of smoke from the cigars OF the
favored few. The following rounds are
fair down to the fourteenth and last,
while the spacing of the pictures is very
uneaven. The camera which took the
final photographs did Tot include the space
near the ropes, into which Corbett crawled
before he was counted out. The pictures
show him painfully crawling out of the
cameras field, and at the end his head,
arms and shoulders are out of the picture.

JUDGE MAGUIRE
WRITES TO BLAND
Makes a Suggestion
Concerning His Rail-
road Resolution.
Agrees With the Missourian
on Every PROPOSITION
but One.
Would Have the Matter Referred tic
the House Judiciary
Committee.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1s.-Al-
though the resolution sought TO be intro
duced in the House yesterday by Bland
OF Missouri has no direct bearing on the
Central Pacific Railroad, Judge Magulrs
said to The CALL correspondent tonight
that, as it provides for It's reference to the
Pacitc Railroads Com mittee OF the House,
1t was matter OF some Importance to the
California people. Judge Mcguire to-
night addressed ths\ following letter to
Mr.. Bland:
entirely agree with you in all that you pro-
pose, except the appointment OF the Commit
tee on Pacific Railroads to consider the In natter,
ana, as l understand yesterday, you agree
with me that that course should not be urged
by US a. present
Inc information requested in your resolu-
tion should be promptly called for by the
House, and when received from the Attorney
General should be referred not to the Commit
tee on Pacific Railroads, but to the Committee
on Judiciary.
What We want is not O plan for the settle
ment OF the Pacific railroad debts, such as the
Commit on Pacific Railroads might formulate
or deal with, but q legal opinion as 10 the eff
nciency OF existing laws Tor the enforcement
OF the rights of the Government against those
companies and the suggestion of remedies for
the defect. If any, that may be discovered in
the procedure provided for. These matters
belong, under the rules, to the Judiciary Com
mittee, and the advantage of having that
committee consider them exclusively is that it
would have no jurisdiction to report any
scheme for the refundlng or other settlement
by special arrangement of the Pacific railroad
debts. as the Committee On Pacific Railroads
would be sure o do.
When the information called for In your
resolution has been returned to the House by
the Attorney-General,a and not until then, in
my opinion, the proper resolution should be
| introduced calling for the appointment of the
judiciary Committee to consider the matter.
Itmay be impossible, in the present parlia.
mentary status of the House. to secure con-
| sideration for such a resolution, or even for
| your original resolution, but agree with you
that it is our duty to make the effort to secure
such legislation as may be necessary, in view
| OF suggested constructions adverse to the
Government, to carry out the plan and Just
| purposes of the Thurman act, leaving the re.
f! sponsibility for failure where it properly be-
| longs, upon those who are responsible for the
present status of parliamentary impotence in

HOME OF THE GODS.
In the Shadow Of Olympus Greek
and Turk Are Now Battling
for the Masterv

In the Shadow OF Olympus Greek
and Turk Are Now Battling
for the Mastery.
1t is in the shadow of the tabled home
of the gods that the Turk and the Greek
now confront each other in battle array
and on down its slopes the thunders of
war have begun to roll. Not since the
days when the mighty Jove hurled at the
presuming Titans his terrible thunder
bolts and shook OSsa piled upon Pelion
into separate mountain masses has Olym-
pus witnessed such scenes and heard such
sounds as have now already begun to dis
turb his long repose. Whether restrained
by the fear of the wrath of the gods or
that his forbidding sides frowned upon
the maneuvers of armies, contending
leaders have sought other fields for trial
of might.
The barbarian Xer1es profaned the sa-
cred precincts by leading his mighty host
across the southeastern slope to find at
Marathon and Salamis the price of his
temerity. It was along this very road
across "Low Olympus" through Nezeros,
where the Greeks and TURKS are battling,
that he found his way down to Larissa
and so on to Athens.
The ancient Greeks bestowed the name
of Olympus upon many other mountains
both in their own country and in Asia
Minor, but this triple-peaked mass, with
its precipitous sides and cloud-veiled sum-
mits, forbidding the intrusion of mortals,
was chosen before all as the most suitable
seat for the rulers of the heavens and the
earth.
Olympus is, as it were. the forepost of
the Balkan peninsula. The highest sum-
NIT attains an elevation of $3.50 feet, or
nearly as high as pointed Ossa and long
stretched Pelion together, whose heights
are respectively $3.50 and 5130 feet. The
lower slopes are covered with beautiful
forests of oak, chestnut beech and plane
trees, with pine farther up, while naked
rocks complete the way TO the SUBMITS,
snow-capped nine months in the year.
From the sea on the east Is seen a long
array OF vast precipices. cleft here and
there by ravines, whose sides are covered
with forest trees. and in whose depths
numerous torrents dash down to the sea.
1t really seems 10 form q world apart
from the one below. Forty-two peaks

dit and the jealous monks from attempt
ing to find Judgment there, as they have
done lower down. Fifty-two springs feed
the various streams that flow from its
sides to the river Peneus. or directly to the
sea. Wildcats abound on the lower slopes
and the chamois finds security on the
rugge dpinnacles above.
Olympus. as well as all the valley of the
Xeragi River to the west, was included
within the ancient limits of Thessaly, but
the frontier boundary line. as fixed by the
powers at the Berlin conference in 1878,
runs from the sea westward across its
lower slopes nearly to Elassona, and tn en-
turns to the south along the MeIonas
Mountains, across the Xeragi and up the
Ardham Mountains, leaving the sacred
mountain and large part of ThessaIy,
with its Hellenic population. to the Turk.

trouble is not known. Hannah Wilcox,
niece or the dead man, states that there
had been apparently no differences be-
tween the two. When they met Wilcox
addressed Phillips, who seized an ak,
knocking him down and inficting three
wounds. Miss Wilcox screamed. and
Warren F. Wilcox ran to the spot. When
he saw this man approaching Phillips
drew a jackknife from his pocket and
plunged 1t into his own throat on the
right side, max ing a deep wound, from
which he soon fell exhausted.

work BEFORE THE SENATE.
Much Important Business Is 0vershod-
owed BY The Question of Organ
izinq The Committees.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 1s.-sena-
tor Davis will make another attempt on
Monday in executive session to get day
fixed for taking vote on the arbitration
treaty.. 1t is not believed that a great
deal of time will be given to the treaty
during the week.
The bankruptcy bill will continue to
hold its place on the calendar as unfin.
ished business, but probably it will not be
pressed seriously. Morgan has an.
nounced his intention to insist daily upon
the consideration of his Cuban resolution
during the morning hour, blu. will not
block other business with it.
Much of the Senate's time will be given
to the question of the Organization of
committees. The Republican Senators
will have caucus on Monday to consider
the subject.
Consideration of the appropriation bills
will be concluded this week 1t is ex.
pected that the Indian bill will pass early
tomorrow, and the sundry civil and agri-
cultural bills will follow in their order.
There is no expectation that there will be
any prolonged debate upon any of the
bills. There will be an effort 10 amend
the sundry civil bill by the addition of a
provision for the regulation of forest res
ervations. This may lead to some discus.
sion, but the friends of the amendment do
not anticipate much trouble.

CRIME IN CONNECTICUT.


 Is one of the steady habits of this Hand of steady habits" going to be the habit of murder? It is a tragic and q bloody time in Connecticut, Fuda and Impussino have just been hanged in the State prison for the murder of Mrs. F'uda, at East Norwalk, last February. Charles Boinay was convicted last Fri day of the murder of George M. Nich- ols, in the township of Trumbull, last summer; Weeks, his assistant, is to be tried soon. Herman Sachse Is on trial for the murder of Bert l.. Hotchkiss. in K1llingWorth, last summer. A few days ago an old negro, Peter Winston, in Windsor, was clubbed to death. and his murderers are under arrest. On We'd nesday night, at Stamford, one De- marco killed his two uncles with a sharpened file. Friday night, David Lambert, a farmer in Wilton, was killed in his own house by masked robbers.
 What is the matter? Are they driv- ing criminals out of New York into our State, or is there an "epidemic of mur der?"

BIC RAILROAD EARNINGS,

There seems to be no end to the in- crease in railroad earnings. Perhaps we shall read by and by that there are not cars enough to carry the money earned to headquarters. Saturday S United States Investor, making a con- putation of the gross earnings of fifty six railroads for the first week in De- cember finds that there has been an in crease in these from s6,305, 656 to ST. 327,176, a gain of $1, O21, 520, or more than 15 per cent. The same roads show earn ings from the first of January of the current year, to and including the first week in December, of $3O6, TAB, ,949, against $2S4, 752, ,467 for the correspond ing time in the year 1896. In this case there is an increase of little less than s22,000,O00, or a gain of, approximately, 8 per cent.
 The more the merrier. Holders of many railroad Securities" have waited long for some earnings.
