 kansas Results Fatally.

kansas Results Fatally.
 LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Jan. 13.--In a colored Baptist church at Yellow Bayou, in Chicot county last night one man was killed, another fatally wounded and several others badly hurt. A revival was in progress at the church. Rev. Henry Walker, the pas tor, read chapter in the Bible, and Deacon Austin Williams passed the plate for the offerings. As he set the hat containing few small coins upon the pulpit, the preacher made remark which Williams did not like and he slapped Walker in the mouth. Walker attacked the deacon, knocking him to the floor with a cane. A free fight ensued, in which partisans joined, using razors and clubs. Walker, with his razor, cut Williams throat, killing him al- most instantly. A negro, name not known, received fatal cut, and about a dozen others were slashed more or less painfully. Several arrests were made. including Walker, who is under e heavy guard to prevent being lynched.

Madrid, Dee. 12.-Lieutenant General

THEY WILL PROTEST.
United Labor League Objects 10 Paxson
as an Interstate Commissioner.

Philadelphia, Dec. 12.-The United
Labor League this afternoon passed a
resolution authorizing the officers of the
league to send a protest to President
Mckinley against the appointment of
ex-Chief Justice Paxson as a member
of the interstate commerce commission.
The grounds for the protest grew out of
an opinion rendered by Mr.. Paxson
when he was chief justice of the su-
preme court of this state, in relation to
the Homestead strike. The protest Will
state that Mr.. Parsons appointment
will be an insult. not alone to the or
ganized labor interest, but to every
worlSingman in the United States.
The discussion over the protest was
spirited and before the motion was
agreed to personalities were exchanged
with so much liberality that the presid-
ing officer refused to allow several
members to speak.

An apparatus by which an engineer
may test or determine the quality and
adoption of the coal he receives is de-
scribed in the Boston Journal of Com
merce. The test is not intended to be an
analysis, but principally to show the
amount of fixed carbon in the coal and
the percentage of ash. AS each carload
is received samples are taken from 20 or
more parts of the car, thoroughly mixed
and quartered, each quarter being also
mixed and quartered until the sample is
obtained. This sample is then carefully
weighed, the volatile matter driven off.
weighed again, and the carbon consumed.
and the ash weighed. This estimate is
important in guarding against the use
of coal having an undue percentage of
ash. The various Goals differ in the Der
centage Of ash which they contain, some
Cumberland Goals having from 10 to IA
per cent of ash, while good New river
will have as low as 8 or 4 per cent.
Thus, though the Goals may look alike
to the average engineer, the heat value
characterizing them is 0 per cent great
er in one description than the other.
and, ascertaining this, an important
saving i'll the cost Of fuel may result.

Chauncey M. DepeW says that he has
had personal experience in seeking office
hot for himself, however, but for 9TH
ers-from every Republican president.
He says that Mr.. Lincoln would always
listen attentively to what he had to say
and then tell a funny story. On his way
back to the hotel he would think over
the story, and finally see that it landed
his candidate way out of sight
General Grant always received an
application for office as toasts to the
memory of Washington are drunk
standing aid in silence.
President Hayes listened for awhile,
then broke out into lamentations that
the attention of the president of the
United States should be diverted from
the great affairs of state to distribute
patronage. Then he would make mem
orandum in little red book, which was
to remind him not to do it.
General Garfield would put his arm
around your neck, tell you how much
he loved you and then forget what you
had asked Of him.
President Arthur would listen with
polite attention to all you had to say,
then refer you to some man in New
York whom you were never able to find.
President Harrison would sink down
into his chair until you had presented
the claims of your candidate and then
change the subject

ICEBERGS DRIFTING LOW.
Fierce Northwesterly Gales Have Driven

Fierce Northwesterly Gales Have Driven
Them Far South.
Steamships that crossed the Atlantic
recently report having encountered much
ice and many bergs as far down as lati-
tude AZ degrees, near the easterly edge of
the banks. 1t is unusual for the ice to
drift SO far so early in the year.
The drift is accounted for by the I'M
usually fierce and persistent northwest
erly gales that have kept the Atlantic in
turmoil since the beginning Of February.
These gales have forced the bergs from
the glaciers and carried them as far
south as they have ever been seen in
March.
The Hamburg American liner Fuerst-
Bismarck, between latitude 40 degrees
2 minutes and latitude 40 degrees B
minutes, passed two bergs the smaller
of which was 40 feet high and 1870 feet
long. On the same day she ran into a
heavy sea, which momentarily stalled
her. There were no passengers on deck
at the time, or they might have been
hurt, as part of the sea came aboard.
The French liner La Bretagne passed
a large berg in 40 degrees, which is as low
as any bergs have been seen for several
years. The Hamburg American steam
ship Pennsylvania steamed through a
large quantity of heavy pack ice and
sighted several bergs. The German oil
tank Burgermeister Petersen was forced
to steer south 25 miles from latitude 40
degrees 10 minutes to avoid the field ice.

The motorman changed his bell and
shouted, and the woman lodged out of

down. she trotted alongside of the trail

Here, where are you?" shouted the
conductor.
In answer to the appeal the woman
suddenly appeared around the rear Of
the trailer and put one foot ON the step.
Then she changed her mind and trotted
to the front end of the Car. Here she
climbed up and came i'll the front door.
The conductor snapped the bell. and the
