Turpie Severely Attacks the Nicaraguan
Canal Bill---Pension Bills in the House.
Washington, Jan. 2O.-Among the
important matters in the senate to-day
are the Nicaraguan canal bill, which
is the unfinished business, and upon
which Senator Turpie is to continue
his speech; theGemainder of the legis-
lative appropriation bill, and Senator
Pettigrews resolution relating to the
boundary line between Venezuela and
British Guiana. So far as delivered,
Mr.. Turpie's speech upon the Nicara-
guam canal bill is an attack upon the
measure and in denunciation of the
Maritime. Canal company of Nicaragua,
which he characterized as ''beggar
and pariah in any rational financial
system" and totally discredited in this
and every other country. The legisla-
tive appropriation bill is completed,
with the exception of the provision in
relation to the library of congress.
Senator Morgan's resolution as to the
Pacific railroad companies default is
shelved for the present. Mr. Hill
spoke for an hour and half on a
joint resolution relating to electric
subways in the district of Columbia.
While it may appear to be a matter of
purely local interest, Mr. Hill said, his
contention was that it was a fight be-
tween the United States Electric Light
company, which he referred to as the
"old monopoly" and the Potomac
Electric Light company, owned chiefly
In New York, whose money and prop
srty, legally invested in the District
Of Columbia, the joint resolution wNuld
eonfiscate. For this reason it was of
national Importance, as it would set
precedent for the confscation of other
property owned in various states, but
located in the District The matter

SLOW IN MAKING BOND.
Several Newly Elected County on
ciaIs Delinquent.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 31-To-morrow is the
date for the new county officers to as
sumo charge of their offices all over the
state, but a number Of them will not get
their commissions, as they have failed
to give bond About thirty tax receivers
and nearly as many tax collectors have
not yet filed their bonds. Notwithstanding
the fact that they have been elected since
last October
Controller General Wright has filed a re-
port in the governors office, showing the
following delinquent collectors, by coun-
ties: Appling, Irwin, Pulaski, Colquitt,
Jefferson, Dade, Quitman, Laurens, ITALIA
ferro, Decatur, Lowndes Telfair, Dough-
erty, Marion, Epson, Douglas, Monroe,
Early, Montgomery, Floyd and Pierce.
The report also shows that the tax re-
ceivers in the following counties have not
yet made bond: ApplinG. Bullock, Charl-
ton, Colquitt, Dade, Decatur, Dougherty,
Douglas, Early. Irwin, Jefferson, Laurens,
Lowndes, Pulaski, Marion, Montgomery,
Pickens, Quitman, Taliaferro, Telfair, Up
son, Wayne and Wilcox.
Just why the officers have not given
bond Is not known. Some of them have
probably neglected TO forward the bond
while others have not given 1t from ina
bility to get security. No commissions
will be issued to the officers-elect who
have failed to give security, and IL
they do not make bond soon a new cleo
ton will have to be called to elect new
officers

GET FLESH.

Get Strength, vigOr, Clear Complex
ion and Good Digestion, Not by
Patent Medicine, But in NATURES
own Way.
Any honest physician will tell you that
there is but one way to get increased flesh;
ali the patent medicines and cod liver oils
TO the contrary notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way to increase flesh,
strength and vigor of mind and body. and
that is through the stomach by wholesome
food well digested. There is no reason or
common sense in any other method what
ever
People are thin, run down, nervous, pale
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspepsia,
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food or what they eat is not quick
ly and properly digested as it should be.
Dr. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain dlgestiVe
acids and peptones, and deficient secretion
of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to sup
ply what the weak stomach lacks. There
are several good preparations which VIII
do this, but none so readily as stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets, which are designed es-
pecially Tor all stomach troubles, ana
which cure all digestive weakness on the
common sense plan of furnishing the di-
gestive principles which the stomach lacks.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect is to increase the
appetite and increased Vigor, added flesh,
pure blood, and strength of nerve and mus
cle is the perfectly natural result.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form OF
stomach trouble except cancer of the stom-
ach. May be found at druggists at so
ar fin cir 1lr or OHy

NEW YORK PRISON LABOR.
COnvtcts Not to Compete With Out
side ToiIers Hereafter.


Albany, N. Y, Dec. 31.-The prisoners in
the penal institutions of the state to-mor-
row will cease work on manufactures
which come in competition with outside
labor. The new constitutional provision
which goes into effect tomorrow provides
that they shall be employed in making
articles needed by the public institutions
of the state and its political divisions.
In discussing the plan of work which
is to be carried on in the prisons from
now on, Gen. Lathrop, superintendent of
prisons, to-day said: There are 300 in
mates of the states prisons 1000 of whom
must be furnished employment The guam
tity and diversity of articles needed by
the public institutions of the state and
cities, counties and towns, is almost with
out limit. The prisoners will all be kept
employed whether they produce anything
or not, until the new plan is fully estab-
lished. The use of machinery will be
done away with as much as possible. Two
hundred men will be employed on hand
looms, as in the old days. in the manu-
facture of blankets, cloth for clothing,
sheets, pillow cases and other articles.
Quite a number will also be kept employed
all of the time breaking stone, which
will be used by the cities and towns in
road improvements"

RICHMOND's PROGRESS.
The Business Showing For the Past
Year Far From a Bad One.


Year Far From "A Bad One.
Richmond. Va, Dec. 31-The Dispatch
will tomorrow give the following facts
relative to the trade situation in Rich
mond:
The number of manufacturing enter
prises has increased from $50 in 1895 to 9S4
In 1886 but there has been falling off in
the number of operatves-1s.1 1873 being en-
pioyed in 1895 and only 1857 last year.
The amount Of capital invested has in
creased from $16,16SO 900 to $16 275, $50. but the
amount of the sales were only $31, $50 Cos.
or S456,335 less than In 1895.
The jobbing trade shows a falling off
IN the annual sales of $780,. 1862. but is still
far In advance of what II was two years
ago, and there has even been a slight in
crease In the amount of capital invested in
this branch. The falling off is due I'M
douDtedly to the great drop In the prices
obtainable for the year 1896 will long be
remembered as year OF low prices and
small profits.
Year by year the record of the postoffice
shows an increase in the volume of BUSH
ness transacter. and 1893 has been no ex-
ception to the rule. The sale of stamps
and postal cards alone exceeded that OF
1898 by 1889, and there has been pro-
portionate Increase in the receipts OF the
other departments.

WORST FIRE YET AT WORCESTER
A Blaze in the CrOmptOn Block
Causes Loss of 100000.

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 31.-The most
disastrous fire of the year in this city,
with one exception, broke out at o clock
this morning in the Crompton block, on
Mechanic street. A general alarm called
every piece of fire apparatus to the scene,
and the firemen had one of the hardest
fights they have had in years.
The Crompton block is a five-story brick
structure occupied by large number of
tenants, all of whom suffered serious
damage, for, while the fire was confined
to the two upper stories, everything be-
low was deluged with the tons of water
which was poured upon the flames. The
loss is estimated at upwards of 500, OOO
and is largely covered by insurance. The
origin of the fire is a mystery.

Gen. McLewee was also a candidate for
this position, and it ives claimed he had
succeeded in getting the Endorsement of a
large portion of the national guard by
reason of his official position. The strife
between these two candidates became so
bitter that Gov.-elect Black thought it bet

recognize either side of the controversy,
and he accordingly appointed his personal
friend, G. Whitney Tillinghast of Troy, to
