Codifying tho Laws.

Hon. j. e. Brcazealc, State code
commissioner, is now and has been
for some time busily engaged in
compiling the States laws. lie ex-
poets to have his work completed
and in the hands of the printers in
ample time for the whole to be sub
mitted to the next General Assembly,
which will be called upon to pass
upon it. This work is not only ar
duous and tedious, but it requires
great care. Mr.. Breazcalc's knowl-
edge of the law and his experience
as legislator, as well as his familiar
ity with such work, is sufficient to
insure an accurate and satisfactory
codification of the multtudinous acts

Boat Plows Through Mass Of Corpses.

London, November 13.-The Globe
this afternoon publishes a letter from
a Belgian gentleman who has been
travelling to Pekin via the TRANSIT
berian railroad. He describes, upder
date of September 6, what he saw in
the Amur river. His account
surpasscs in horror those previously
published.
"Thc scenes | have witnessed dur
ing the three days since the steamer
left Blagovetccnsk," he says, "are
horrible beyond the power of de-
scription. 1t is the closing tableaux
Of a fearful human tragedy. Two
thousand were deliberately drowned
at Morxo, 1000 at Rabe and 5000
around Blagovetchensk, a total OF
$4,000 corpscs cncumbering the river,
among which were thousands OF
women and children. Navigation
was all but impossible.
"Last week boat had to plow her
way through tangled and mangled
mass OF corpse lashcd together by
their long hair. The banks were
literally covered with corpses. Ii,
the curves Of the stream were dark,
putrid, smelling masses of human
flesh and bone, surging and swaying
in the steamers wake and wash
The captain vainly ordered full
speed ahead. The sight and smell
will be ever with us.
"From Blagovetchensk to Aigun,
45 kilometers, numerous villages
studded the bank, with thriving,
industrious population of over 1OO,-
600. That of Aigun was 10000.
No one will ever know the number
of those who perished by shot, sword
and stream. Not a village is left.
The silence of death was around
us, the smoking ruins of Aigun on
the right, with broken down, crumb-
ling walls and shattered, rootless
houses"

Breastplate Case Settled.

There will be peace in Marion
county, and the famous "brcastplate"
case is disposed of and laid away on
the shelf where other war furniture
Of that pattern belong. That the
actual steel housings used by j.
Dudley Hasclden will adorn his an
cestral home and be pointed to with
pride by his descendants in the misty
future, is another question.
The Haseldcns and the Sellers
have 30 many relatives in Marion
county, most of whom are very wor-
thy people, that it was considered
the part of wisdom to settle the mat
ter out Of court without stirring up
bad blood. 1t was generally believed
that the antagonism caused by con
flict of testimony and the bringing
out Of the story about the steel
breastplato that saved Dudley IIa-
selden's life would result in another
shooting scrape. The Attorney
General was called 10 Marion to
prosecute the case because Solicitor
Johnson was related to the defend
ants. On the presentation made by
loading citizens of Marion, Mr.. Bel
lingcr decided to withdraw the prose-
cution. His desire to do this was
strengthed by having paper pre-
scntcd, signed by all the participants
on both sides of the case. In this
they agreed each to select a friend
to arrange an honorable settlement
OF their differences these two rep
resentativcs were empowered to Sc
lect third man, if needed, and the

themselves on their honor to abide
by their action.

er Of the house of representatives; A.
Howard Patterson, and e. Walt.
Whitman. The latter mas been a AN
didate for office eighteen years and
never elected.
A canvass of the entire state was
made, each of the forty counties being
visited. The prohibitionists assailed
the ~dispensary, and the champions Of
selves. Patterson viciously attacked
Governor McSweeney, who became
governor on the death of Governor Ell
lerbe.
Senator Tillman, who claims pater-
nifty for the dispensary, came into the
campaign and fought Colonel Hoyt. As
a result of this interference, Tillman S
name has been scratched by 10000
voters although he has no opponent.
Colonel Hoyt, the prohibitionist, will
probably lead insolvency by 10000
votes. There will be a second primary
two weeks from today and the issue
between Hoyt and McSweeney will be
close.
A surprise was the large vote re-
ceived by j. H. Tillman for lieutenant
governor. He is a nephew Of the SEN
ator. He will run it over with Colonel
| John T.. Sloan.

feated by Captain R. II. Jennings.
