venture to say not one in = hundred
can tell. AT a slight cost the
names of the streets could he
placed on every corner, city fashion.
We make this suggestion, and re-
fer the matter to the honorable
Mayor and Board of Aldermen,
hoping it will meet with their care
full consideration. If the houses
were also numbered, it would be
an improvement.
We had a severe electrical storm
last Monday evening. Vivid light
ming, and loud peals of thunder,
accompanied by high winds and
heavy rain continued about an
hour. A number of trees in the
woods were struck, but we have
heard of no other casualties.
We had another storm Thursday,

lightning to suit the most fastidi-

POPULIST TURNED DOWN. >

Farmers National Congress Rejects Free
Silver and other Populistic Resolutions.
St Paul, Mimi, Sept 3-The Popu-
lists in the Farmers National Congress
were badly defeated during it's sessions.
Calamity" Weller, of Iowa, yesterday
introduced a resolution tor restora-
ton of free coinage of silver. This was
reported unfavorably and rejected
without permitting the minority to
debate.
Then came resolution favoring the
prohibition of private monopoly in
public necessities" even to the extent
of the exercise of the right of eminent
domain and the requirement of such
necessities by the State. Again discus
sion was denied, and on call of States
a three-to-one majority against the
resolution was developed.
| Another financial resolution was
similarly disposed of after short dis
cussion to avoid filibustering, which
had been resorted to by the Populists.
Later in the day the Populists were
again turned down" on the final re-
port of the Committee on Resolutions.
Resolutions were adopted commencing
the Secretary of Agriculture for his
| favoring Government inspection and
grading of butter for export, and the
reduction of official salaries providing
for committee to report plan for co.
prevention of the spread of contagious
diseases among domestic animals.
Resolutions introduced by Mr.. Loucks
favoriDg the income tax, Government
control of telegraph and telephone, the
prohibition of corporate ownership oil
land for speculative purposes and the
initiative and referendum had beer
turned down in committee, and Mr.
Loucks had made minority report il
each case. He was allowed to speak ir
support of each of the resolutions, ano

LUETGERT TRIAL.
One of the Jurors Discharged by
the Court.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-A new element
in the Luetgert case, involving the old
fight between the union and non-un-
ion men. was injected in the course of
to-day's proceedings in the Luetgert
trial, and may cause the work of Sc
curing a jury to be begun anew.
At tho opening of court counsel for
the defense challenged for cause Henry
Boarberg, the last man selected to
hear the evidence, alleging that he was
intensely hostile to the defendant.
Boarberg admitted the fact that he is
not member of any Union. An affi-
davit from Bert Mallory, formerly en-
gagged by the firm which employs Boar
berg, was presented, in which the af-
fiant declares that on no less than a
dozen occasions Boarberg expressed
himself as being in favor of a rope for
Luetgert.
Judge Cary decided to institute an
investigation 1t is feared that the dis
charge Of Boarberg as a juror will turn
all things connected with the case topsy
turvy, and that new beginning will
have TO be made
AT tine afternoon session Judge Gary
called Boarberg before him and gave
him the alternative of resigning from
the jury or of being discharged The
juror refused to resign, and was imme-
diarely discharged. The defense waived
their claim to the right to discharge
the other members of the jury, thus
removing the danger of another long
tie up. A panel of 100 veniremen was
ordered and tomorrow morning an at
tempt to secure another juror will be
made

JOHN MORGAN.
Committed One of the Most Horri-
BILE Grimes in History.

RIPLEY CIV. Va.), Dec. 16.-John
Morgan was hanged here this after
noon. He spent the forenoon crying,
but recovered SO as to go on the scaf-
fold With composure.
The crime for which Morgan was
hanged was one of the most remark
able in the history of this State Mrs.
Edward Green, a well-to-do widow,
aged 20 years; her two daughters by
her first husband, Alice and Matilda
Pfost, and her son, James Green, aged
about 90 years, lived a short distance
from Ripley. An intimate friend was
John Morgan, whom Mrs. Green had
taken in as an orphan boy and given
a home. He remained with them a
dozen years, but about three years ago
married and lived apart from his for
nler banefactors. He was on friendly
terms with them, however, and Novem-
Der 4tn called at the house and asked
Matilda Pfost to cut his hair. She in
vited him to remain until morning,
when she would do it fer him.

end Of the fight. He will insist, it is
said, that Mr.. McKenna will continue
as Attorne4- General until the Senate
confirms his nomination as Associate
Justice.
The nomination of Attorney General
Mckenna to succeed Justice Field will
not be acted upon by the Senate until
after the Christmas holidays. The NOM
ination was referred to the Committee
on judiciary in to-day's executive ses-
sion, but Senator Hoar, Chairman of
that committee, stated that he would not
ask the committee to consider the NOM
ination until after the rec0nvening of
the Senate in January. 1t does not ap-
pear that the delay in considering Mr.
Mckenna's nomination is due to oppo-
sition that is reported to exist against
his confirmation so much as the fact
that the Committee on Judiciary habit
Tally considers nominations to the Su-
rreme bench with more deliberation
than is exercised by that or any other
committee in the case of other nomina-
tions. AS the Senate will adjourn on
Saturday for the holidays. action would
pe necessary in the two days left. and
this time, instead of being sufficient for
mature deliberation, would be consid-
cred insufficient for even the most extra
ordinary nomination.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l6.-The

Japan Hawaiian controversy:

successful termination of negotiations

1t is reported that as the Cabinet
found that the absolute protest against
Hawaiian annexation was of no avail,

TO yield a point, and while not objecting
to annexation itself, to make an effort
to insure the protection of Japanese in

short time after Morgan suddenly
picked up a hatchet and struck Matilda
Pfost twice on the head. She ran
onto the porch, while Morgan turned
upon Alice Pfost and felled her with
the hatchet. Matilda meantime was
screaming for help, and Morgan left
Alice to quiet Matilda. Alice managed
to get cut of the house and hide, and
it was afterwards solely on her infor-
nation that Identification of the mur-
derer was possible. Alice gave an
alarm.
Meantime Morgan forced his way into
the room of old Mrs Green, and after
a desperate struggle slashed her TO
pieces with hatchet. Green's mutt
lated body was found near a corn crib.
Morgan was captured. He escaped a

Johnson, as another phase of the
question, described the destruction of
the food fish by the seals. The recent
increase in the catch at the fisheries on
the Pacific Coast and Alaska he at
tributed TO the diminution of the seal
herd. IF the sea wolves of the sea had
been completely exterminated he said,
we would not be sending relief to the
miners in Alaska. Each seal requires
ten pounds of fish a day. The coast of
Alaska would become the greatest cod
fishery in the world, if these enemies of
the fish were destroyed.
Hepburn (R.) of Iowa expressed the
opinion that we had the power at any
time to compel Canada to adjust this
whole question as to the seals. Pelagic
sealing was not worth much more than
S250.00O per annum. The bonding
privilege granted to Canadian roads,
over which we had absolute control,
was worth twenty times as much to
Canada as the right of pelagic sealing.
He advocated retaliation as the weapon
to be used to bring Canada to terms.
and said he could not understand why
it had not already been employed.
Loud fR.) of California, in opposition
to the bill, argued that If our citizens
were to be bound. ii was advisable that
they should be bound Jointly with the
subjects of Great Britain. A treaty
would hind the citizens of both coun-
tries alike. Why not await the out
come of the pending negotiations.
