More New Payements.

The good work of putting down new
pavements still goes on. Among those
that have been completed the past
week is fine piece of granolithic side
walk in front of Postmaster Mundey's
place; stretch of nearly 200 feet OF
brick sidewalk along M. B. Bakers
property on King street; and over
hundred feet of brick paving along
the Firemen's lot on the same street.
Besides these improvements, num-
Der OF others have been projected and
material is in place for the new side
walks as soon as workmen can be Sc
cured. Almost everybody who has
been notified by council to make new
pavements will do 30 without resist
ance, and the Improvement to the
town is so great that we are all won
dering why the good work was not
pushed long ago.

The time for harvesting the wheat
is now at hand in this section-just
about a week later than usual. The
wheat fields are particularly beautiful
now, the stalks standing smooth and
straight and thick, while the golden
tiuge shows in beautiful perfection,
The general opinion is that the wheat
has filled up fairly well in this county
and that there will be a good crop.
The storm of Monday night was 80
violent many persons feared that it
would beat down the wheat and cause
loss and make difficult harvest, but
it caused no damage at all. The
wheat stands perfectly and there is
every hope of of a good yield and a
safe ingathering. A few farmers be-
gan to cut around the edges of the
fields on Tuesday, others yesterday
and today. and by tomorrow there
will probably be general assault up
on the golden grain.
James D. Butt, of the U. S. Bank
rupt Court, with his clerk, John o.

AID the home property at Harper
Ferry, thu transfer Of which property
by Hurst to his fAther-in-law, Mr..
Tearney, was recently avoided In 30
far as Hurst creditors are concerned,
by the State Supreme Court. There
seemed to be some question as to
which court. the Federal or the State,
should have jurisdiction in making
sale of properties in order to convey
good and sufficient title to the pur-
chaser, but after considerable argu-
ment on the part of the counsel it was
amicably agreed to permit an order
to be entered in the State court for
the same. tits understood that Judge
Faulkner will convene special term
for the purpose of entering such an or
der, so the matter may be expedited
and the creditors of Hurst receive
their dividend at the earliest possible
date.-Spirtt.

DEFENSELESS TRIBES LOOTED
Moorish Troops Garry OFF Children
Into Slavery.
Europeans Warned Against Going
Outside of City of TangieF
After Sunset.

Tangier, Feb. 16.-It may be said of the
situation in Morocco that the more it
changes the more it remains the same
thing.
RaisoulTs stronghold in the hills of
Zinat is destroyed. but the brigand him
self has got safely away, and it IS said
in more quarters than one that he has
friends at court who are by no means
anxious that his career should be brought
to a close.
The regular army" its professional
labors ended, settled down to its favorite
occupation Of looting, and far from being
content with picking Up all that could be
seized in zinat. raided the neighboring
villages, violated women, and carried of
children Of both sexes to sell to the first
bidder, killing all who attempted to inter-
fere with them.
Commissariat arrangements hardly exist
in the Moorish army, as an expeditiOnary
force is supposed to live upon the villages
through which it passes. The progress Of
the Sultan's soldiers through the country
round Ta1gier has deepened the feelings
of dislOyalty that are never very from
the minds Of the hill tribes.
It is a significant fact that Europeans
are warned against going outside the town
after sunset. Soldiers have struggled
back from the hills TO sell loot openly In
the streets Of Tangier, and much of this
property has been stolen from innocent
villagers who were in no way associated
with RaisOuH. though some were killed
and others were sent in chains to Tangier
to make the bag look larger.
The situation is as bad as II ever was
before the conference, and the means at
the disposal OF France and Spain are
totally inadequate TO restore order.

AS there were no obstacles in the way,
the wOodcutters began TO joke about their

snow, diverting its course to the right in
the direction Of a precipice, began TO
move with express speed.
The steersman threw himself into the
soft snow. calling on his companions to
follow him. One of them aid so, but the
other remained on the sledge and went
