NOTES.

The reports showed progress in all
directions. The preaching was of a
high order. The session was delight
full; the people of Cape Charles City,
courtesy and kindness embodied, in
their lavish hospitality. Rev. w. G.
Walden demonstrated superior quail
ties as presiding officer; this, his
first presidency, increased the high
esteem in which he was already held
by his brethren throughout the dis
trict.

THE anthracite market, says
Saward's Coal Trade Journal, has not
been so active during the past week
as it was hoped for, and the reason
for this is that no change was made
in the circular price of coal dating
from the 1st inst. 1t can be said,
however, that the old list is being
more nearly realized on any new
business which is being done, and
there is a large movement of coal ON
the orders which were taken during
the month of May 1t would seem as
if the remainder of the year, ,@eafter
the national holiday, would witness
a very large shipment of anthracite
coal, and at prices which will be
something better than what are now
being realized At the same time it is
well to bear in mind that there is not
the opportunity for a full tonnage at
the mines during July, as some people
seem to fancy, for while the tonnage
this year has been less than it was
during the past year or two, it must
be remembered that there was some
thing carried over and that not all of
this years business has actually gone
forward to the consumer. If the July
tonnage We're made $500, 600, would
be sufficient to meet the requirements
of the market, but August will de
mand another increase, and so will

crat CMcEnery of louisiana, one sill
Yer Republican (Jones Of Nevada and
one Populist tStewart of Nevada).
The negative vote was made up of %
Democrats, three Populists and two
Silver Republicans. 1t was the closest
vote thus far taken on an issue of i'm
portance, and was accepted as show
ing that any amendment having the
sanction of the caucus was assured of
adoption.
The vote was taken after a day spent
i'm speeches on the effect of the sugar
schedule. The main speech of the day
came from Mr. Allison. in charge of tho
bill, and was In the nature of an an
swer to the charges made against the
sugar schedule as a whole, and a de-
fense of It. Mr.. German spoke against
the schedule and the entire bill point
ing out that its effect was to burden
the people without opening up to ua
new foreign markets. Mr. White re-
viewed the records of Republican SEN
ators on the sugar schedule during the
debate on the Wilson bill. arraigning
them for inconsistency Mr.. Camery.
of Louisiana, and Mr.. Stewart, of Ne

Meetings of the bimetallic associa-

France have shown not only re
newed interest in this subject, but
have been attended with expressions
of leading officials of England and
France, especially showing great
anxiety for some concerted action
which shall bring about an increased
use of silver through international
action. These were accompanied by
"a general expression of belief that
international action upon this sub

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy, fulflls every
wish in relieving pain in the back kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the urinary
passages 1t corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use Of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night to urinatc. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures Of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have the

shooting took place in a saloon. Ze-

shelf, pointed it at his friend and press

that he was not afraid. An explosion
followed and a bullet entered Miller's

pYNAMIrE AT LEMENWoRrH.


Attempt to XIII the Governor Of the
National Soldiers Home.
Loavenworth Kan, June ia dia-
bollcal attempt was made upon the life
OF Governor Andrew j, Smith, of the
National Soldiers home, and his wife
and daughter between 4 and s a. m. by
some bastard who ls az yet unknown.
Dynamite was employed in the OUT
rage, and the explosion, which all but
demolished the governors beautiful
residence, aroused the residents of the
city and houses trembled as If under
going an earthquake shock. Mrs.
Smith had a miraculous escape from
death, the base of the explosion being
directly beneath her bed chamber She
is cut and bruised by broken glass and
pieces of flying bric-a-brac. Her con-
ditlon is precarious.
The residence is a scene Of wreck
age. The brick walls are torn and
cracked one side being almost COM
pletely blown out The windows are
shattered and the debris Is scattered
over the grounds for a distance of sew
eral rods. The interior is scene Of
confusion and destruction, with broken
bric-a-brac and furnishings utterly
wrecked. The report of the explosion
was distinctly heard in this city, three
miles away. Veterans in the barracks
were thrown from their cots. and a
panic was prevented with difficulty
Joseph W. Oliver, dishonorahly dis
charged veteran. has been arrested by
the police Of this city. Evidence against
him is strong. He had just come to
his room afler being out all night His
clothes were bedraggled and he said he
was sorry the explosion had not killed
the governor. as he deserved such a
fate. Oliver bears a rough reputation.
