John G. Irving, of the Monroe township

payment of a fine Of $3.50 and COSTS
The case of Duncan VS.. Thompson, which
IS of considerable local interest, terminated
on Friday, the jury giving verdict of $3.50
damages in favor of the complainant.
Mr.. Rex represented Mr. Thompson and
Mr.. Pierce Mrs. Duncan. The defendant
at once took an appeal from the verdict of
the jury. and the rumor on the street as we
go to press is that Justice Garrison has set
tbs verdict aside on the ground that the
verdict is opposed to the law and the facts.
The question at issue is one of damages
to a tract of about three acres of low land
by water. Plaintiffs claim is that Mr.
Thompson has impeded natural water
course, aud damage followed. Defendants
claim is that the water is surface water !;
that the land has always been subject to
damages to the same extent that it now
is, and that the action of defendant has not
changed the conditions as to the water
damage to plaintiffs land The general
Interpretation of the Justices charge is
that if the jury found damages, the amount
must be confined to the value of two years.

Desperate Fighting Reported.

Reports that the revolution in Ecuador
is gaining strength have been received at
Panama. The force of Government troops,
although smaller than that of the insur-
gents, is fighting desperately, but no in
timation as to the probable outcome of
the fighting has yet been received at
Guayaquil. Reports coming into Guaya-
quill are to the effect that the Monteneros
in all parts of the country are joining the
insurgents in large bodies. Iney have
raided many towns and villages IN the
provinces of Chimborazo and Canar, leaV-
ing waste and ruin behind them and seiz-
ing food, stores and ammunition whenever
found. In this manner they are slowly
making Roadway. Several priests have
joined the revolution and in their church
garb are armed and taking part in the
fighting. The Government troops have
taken several prisoners, among them a
few petty officers of the rebels. The New
York Herald's correspondent in Punta
Arena, Costa Rica, telegraphs that the
steamer Newport has arrived there bear
ing the news that strong Nicaraguan
army, commanded by Gen. Rutan, is
marching toward the Costa Rican from
tier. The Nicaraguan Government is re-
cruiting men from all over the republic to
reinforce the army. Nicaragua has also
sent troops to Honduras to help suppress
the revolution there. From all reports
from Costa Rica and Nicaragua it seems
that the trouble between the two govern
ments is assuming threatening proper

Congress of Doctors.

About 500 members of the medical pro-
fession. among them some of the most
distinguished specialists in the country,
assembled in Washington Tuesday to at
tend the fourth triennial congress of
American physicians and surgeons,
which convened Tuesday afternoon at
the Columbia Theater. The congress
opened with business meeting of the
Executive Committee, following which
the chairman of the committee, DR.. Lam
don c. Gray, called the general body to
order. At night DR.. William Fl. Welch,
of Baltimore, the retiring president, de-
livered the triennial address, and later
reception was given the delegates by the
members of the local society at the Ar
lington Hotel. The congress is divided
into fourteen distinct associations, each
of whose presidents is ex-otfcio vice pres
ident Of the congress. These associa-
tons held daily sessions at their respect
i've headquarters, in addition to the regu-
lar meetings of the congress. A large
number of interesting and important pa
pers were read and discussed. A statue
of the late Prof. Gross, the eminent ply
sician of Philadelphia, was unveiled
Wednesday afternoon. The statue is
erected in the grounds of the Smithsonian

BUTTER TO EUROPE.
FIRST EXPERIMENTAL ExPORTA-
TON is SHIPPED.
An Effort to Extend the American
Market-First Shipment Comes from
Iowa Agricultural College and a
Creamery at Windsor, VT.
To Re Sold in England.

The first experimental expectation OF
butter from this country was MADE wed
nesday from New York City, when the
Government, through an agent sent by
the Agricultural Department, shipped
three-quarters of ton of selected Duttef
for sale in Europe. The result OF this ex-
pertinent is of great Importance to the
agricultural interests, as it is the hrst step
in an effort of the administration to ex-
tend materially the market for American
butter. and gain some of the trade with
Great Britain in particular, which Den
mark practically controls with consldera-
BILE profit. An incidental object is to de-
termine what improvements are needed In
transportation facilities. Some butter IS
now being sent abroad by private nrihs'
but it is alleged to be of inferior grades.
Unsatisfactory storage in crossing the
ocean and carelessness in leaving the
shipments on uncovered docks at oouth-
ampton before being loaded into freight
cars, thus making the butter soft, nave
further deteriorated it's value in the Eng
fish market. The butter sent wednesday
comes from the Iowa Agricultural College
and a creamery at Windsor, VT. Subse-
quent shipments, which will be MADE our
ing the summer at intervals, Will De OF
butter from other sections. To build up
high standard, only the best grades Will
be shipped and the butter will be sold at
the prevailing market prices. TIE pres
ent shipment goes among the shipped
stores of the steamer st. Paul and will be
kept at low temperature. The cargo is
made up of packages of different sizes to
determine which is most satisfactory. A
department agent will meet the boat at
Southampton and take proper care of the
product and attend to the sale. The APP
pointment of butter agents by the depart
ment at New York and Southampton to
take care Of these interests is possible:

Scattered the Clouds.

Possibly it was from noticing the I'M
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakers in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that an
ingenious Austrian grape-grower was in
duced to exactly reverse the American
practice. An account Of his experiment
is reported by United States Consul Ste
phan at Annaberg The Austrian owned
extensive vineyards situated on the
southern slopes of the mountains, in
locality often visited by destructive hail
storms. At first he tried galvanized wire,
but this was too expensive, and he de-,
cided to install a battery and test the
plan Of causing explosions to drive off
the hailstorms. He erected six stations
on prominent mountain submits COM
handing a territory about two miles IN
extent Each station sheltered ten NOR
tars and a corps of volunteers handled
them. The practical test is thus de-
scribed: Threatening black clouds made
their appearance on the SUBMITS of the
Bacher Mountains. At given signal all
the mortars were fired off and the contin-
uous detonations in few moments caus-
ed sudden reaction in the movements of
the clouds. The cloud wall opened up
funnel-like; the mouth of the funnel be-
gan to rise in the form of consecutive
rings expanding gradually until all the
clouds scattered and entirely disappeared.

Asks for Mediation.

The Athens correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press learns, OH the very best
authority, that Greece has made a writ
ten application to the powers through
their representatives at Athens with a
view to obtaining mediation. All the
representatives have promised in their re-
plies to use their best offices, except the
German minister, who has merely &C
knowledged the receipt of the note from
the cabinet. The porte is inclined to sup
port the powers, with a view to the ia
ciliation of negotiations, but it declines to
consenttoa armistice, on the ground that
this would enable Greece to reorganiZe
her forces. 1t is said Turkey will not at
tempt to secure Grecian territory, but will
Insist on heavy indemnity.

New Measure Which Has Great In

New Measure Which Has Great In
terest for Publishers.
With but one lone vote to spare the Hi
nois Senate Wednesday passed the bill re-
pealing the libel law of 1895 and enacting
a more stringent statute, similar to the
Pennsylvania law. The measure provides
penalty of $1,000 fine or one years i'm
prisonment, or both, for any person who
blackens the character of the dead or the
living, and also allows the plaintiff to
bring suit in the county where he resides,
compelling the defendant to appear there
to answer the charge. The latter provis-
ion is departure from the ordinary rules
of practice. According to CUSTOM, the
plaintiff must institute proceedings in the
county where the defendant resides. The
present law of the State allows publishers
the privilege of retraction, to escape eX-
emplary damages.

REBELS IN HAVANA PROVINCE.
Spanish Garrison Driven Ont and
BlockhOuses Looted.


B1ockhouses Looted.
Havana adviees show that the insurg-
ents are active in that province. Tapasta
was attackedla last week by force of 400
insurgents and held for an entire day, the
Spanish garrison in one blockhouse retir-
ing completely, while the other held it's
ground and did not fire at tho Insurgents
or disturb them in any way. The Cubans
took possession of the vacated block
house, looting it of all the arms and pro-
visions they could find, and then set 1t on
fire. The other blockhouse, with garri-
son of 300 troops in and around 1t, kept
quiet, no offensive operations being at
tempted by the Spanish officer in com
mand. The Cubans camped out within
half mile of the Spanish force and plum
dered the stores of the town without any
opposition. La Heiba was attacked by
a party from Rodriguez's force the first
of the week and the Spanish garrison
driven out. There is a small earth fort
there and two blockhouses. The Cubans
attacked the earthworks early IN the
morning and carried them by dashlng
charge, the Spanish retreating into their
blockhouse at the other end of the town.
One of these was attacked by the Cubans
and three bombs exploded underneath its
walls, SCATTERING it badly and killing sew
eral of it's inmates. The Spaniards sur
rendered and were paroled by the Gu
bans. Two insurgent captains, Rafael
Mendoza Socarros and Ricardo Varrona

Trade says: NEARLY all will be astonished
to learn that actual sales in April by
leading houses in each line of business in
the principal cities east of the Rocky
Mountains average only about 10 per cent
less than in April, 1892, the year of the
largest business hitherto, and were per
cent more than in the same month last
year. Yet this is the summary of 357 re-
ports, each covering actual sales of lead
