Breaks Out Afresh-J. Milton Lamon As
saulted by His Uncle.
Martinsburg, w. Va, Especial. AN Old
family feud, which has been existing for
some time, broke out afresh when Mr.. &.
Milton Lamon attacked his nephew, j. Mil
ton Lamon, son Of his brother. Mr.. John
Lamop of Bunker Hill, this county. The
father and son have not been on speaking
terms with G. Milton Lamon for years. Re-
Gently the nephew erected signs on his farm
warning persons not to trespass. This act
seems to have enraged the uncle who passed
over the land frequently, so on Friday night
he waited for his nephew, young man of
about 20, whom he had seen go to Bunker
Hill before dark When the boy passed on
his way home his uncle emerged from a
fence corner, struck him in the face with his
fist. then picked up large stone, beating
him over the head and face with it. The
young man was not physically strong enough
to meet the attack of his uncle. He was con-
siderably battered up. He had warrant
sworn out, charging his uncle with attempt
to kill. The uncle was arrested. Both of
the men are we'll known throughout the
county.

Washington, Especial. 1.-THE long and bit
ter struggle over the Porto Rican tarih Dill
ended, when the House by vote OF lol 10
1853 concurred In all the Senate amendments.
As the bill originally passed the House 1t
was a simple bill, imposing Is per cent. OF
the Dingley rates on goods going into Porto
Rico from the United States and coming
from Porto Rico into the United States. As
amended by the Senate and agreed to by the
House ali restrictions on goods coming into
the United States from Porto Rico are elm
mated, and certain foodstuffs and otner
articles which heretofore have gone into
Porto Rico free by executive order are ex-
cluded from the operation Of the 10 per cent.

from the United States.

the other Democrat who voted for the orig

Stallings (Dem) of Alabama, was the oni y
member on either side absent and impaired.
The vote came Mt o'clock after very
interesting and at times exciting debate OF
five hours, which covered not only the Dill,
but the special order under which the House
acted. One Of the most dramatic features
of the day was the reading by Mr.. Richard
son, the minority leader, of the original
opinion of Charles E. Magoon, the legal ad-
wiser OF the War Department, in favor OF the
view that the Constitution extended over
Porto Rico ex proprio vigore. Mr.. Dolliver,

Damp linen is sufficient to account
for frequent colds, consumption and
premature death OF whole family.
Rheumatism, when produced from
damp linen, develops into form which
is generally. incurable. All body linen,
shortly before putting on, should. be
made dry by good fire. Those who
have experienced no signal evidence
OF the mischief OF damp linen are apt
to he careless on the subject; but the
careIessness will inevitably entail It's
punishment, which Is likely to accuhu'
