SENATOR CRANE OF MASSACHUSETTS
have all but about so. Over 155 cases
are in Louisiana alone; a number OF
these, however, are among people who
have come from Southern Europe. In
something like 100 cases the disease
was contracted in this country.
For Federal Supervision.
Senator w NJ. Crane. who succeed
ed the late Senator Hoar, at the last
session Of Congress introduced a bill
providing for government supervision.
1t was passed by the Senate, but
when it came up for consideration
at the hands Of the Representatives.
Delegate Rodey of New Mexico,
smarting under the sting left by the
failure of his statehood plans, charged
that the provision in this bill which
planned to locate leper colony on
some abandoned military reservation
was, in fact, plan to foist the
"unclean" upon New Mexico, as there
are several abandoned reservations in
that territory.
The bill failed to pass the House.
1t is believed that Senator Crane pro-
poses to again introduce this bill ear
ly in the next session. 1t will be in
| troduced in q somewhat different man.
ner from the old one. 1t will provide
for a "Lepers Home" instead of
| "Leprosarium", as this latter term
| conveyed the impression that the dis
ease was more prevalent in the Unit
ed States than it really is.
| To Search For Cure.
Leprosy was regarded by the Israel
ties as incurable. In fact the records
Of ancient times show the great fear
in which it has always been held.
Medical science has learned little or
nothing regarding leprosy. One Of
the strongest arguments for the care
Of the ''unclean" is, that such an insti-
tuition would make possible a careful
study Of the disease and, perhaps, in
time result in the discovery Of a
cure. There is a government institu-
ton for the care of lepers in Hawaii,

INCREASING ORDERS.
7. G., |. & R. R. Co. Make More
Contracts for COal-Union
Miners Still on Strike.

WHITWELL, Tenn, April g.
The T: c., |. & R. R. Co. here has
received orders from a railroad
company for ten extra cars OF coal
per day, and this in addition TO
the other orders will keep the
mines busy during the summer,
The company now issues 263
tickets daily, which represents the
number of miners actually digging
coal Besides these there are the
company's hands, the mule drivers
and stable men, the coke makers,
yard, tipple and incline men, the
Office force and store clerks, with
about 20 miners apprentices, max
ing in all between $50 and 400 EN-
ployes. The output of the mines
is from 600 to 700 tons per day, the
output varying a little last week
on account of running couple OF
days short time.
The union miners are still out
on strike, and large sum of mon
eysis reported to have been placed
to their credit to continue the
strike. A large number of the men
have found employment in differ
ent coal camps of the state and
elsewhere. A report was prevalent
last week thatsa conference was to
tgke place between the miners and
operators, but there seems to have
been nothing to it. Both sides are
standing firm on their position.
The coke ovens at Victoria oper.
ated by Capt John Frater and
furnished with coal from these
mines, are nearly all burning.

ed with attempted pension fraud,

Pickett was a member of Capt
Pryors company, Co. G. 9th Tenn
Mid. Inf, being mustered in Sept
10, 1864, and was mustered out

time ago he applied for pension
but oled De'Ore completing nls
case. Pension papers still contin'
ued to arrive from his attorneys a,
Washington, and fell into tht
hands OF a second VIM, Pickett
who either through ignorance ol
led on by unprincipled parties. il
alleged to have filled out the pa
pers and made attempts to secure
the pension due the former Picket
for himself. 1t is now reported
that he is having difficulty tc prove
his position. Among those attend
ing the trial from here Friday wer,
Capt. Pryor, Joel Looney, Ben Bal
ley and w. II. Grayson.

The Rixey Libel SHIFTS

A considerable portion of the summer

Edmund Wad1ill presiding, will be
taken I'D with the libel suits of Repre-
sentative John F. Rixey Of this district,
aud G. J. RiXey, of this city, against ..
A. Stevens for damages, 10 each case In

tion of character. Both cases we're re-
moved from the Curcuit Court OF Eau
ouier county to the United States Court

transferred to the court at this place.
In his declaration Representative Rixey
charges that the defendant published a

Rixey," "spoiIs," "bloOd, 'holdup,
"iackal." dcloven foot" "hocus pocus"
and others of like character in refer
ence to the plaintiff and his actions IN
public life. "By means of which" 1t
was stated, 'the plaintiff has been and
is greatly prejudiced in his credit and
reputation and brought into public scan
dal, infamy aud disgrace. Numerous
counsel vii take part in the case, which
is expected to Furnish an interesting
legal battle. The plainiia is repre-
sented by Attorneys Rixey and Bar
bour, of Culpeper; Keith d Keith, OF
Warrenton, and c. NJ White, of War
renton. The attorneys for the defense
are R. Walton Moore, Of Fairfax; Eppa
