Bhooklyn, July 16. ? Rev. I)r. Talmage has selected as his subject for N ^?oday a topic of the greatest interest and timeliness? viz, ' Comfort !? or Busi ness Men,'* the text being Isaiah xi, 2, "Speak ye comfortably to Jerusar km." [ j What an awful six weeks in com mercial circles! The crashing of banks from San Francisco to New York and from ocean to ocean. The complete uncertainty that has halted all .stvles of business for three months and the pressure of the money market for the last year have put all bargain makers at their wit's end. Some of the best men in the land have faltered; men whose hearts are enlisted in every good work and whose hands have b leaned every great charity. The church of God can afford to extend to them her sympathies ami plead before heaven with all availing prater. The schools such men have established, the churches they have built, the asylums and beneficent institutions they have fostered, wilF be their eulogy long af ter their tanking institutions are for gotten. Such men can never fail. Tliey have their treasures in banks that never br<aik and will be million aires forever. The stringency of the money mar ket, I am glad to say, begins to relax. May the wisdom of Almighty God come down upon our national legisla ture at their con veuing next month in Washington and such results be reached as shall restore confidence and revive trade and multiply pros perities! Yet not only now in the time ?fcf financial disaster, but all through lite, our active business peo ple have a struggle, and I think it will be appropriate and useful for me to talk about their trials and try to offer some curative prescriptions. THE TEMPTED MERCHANT. In the first place, I have to remark that a great many of our business men feel ruinous trials and temptations coming to them from small and lim ited capital in business. It is every where understood that it takes now three or fouc. times as much to do bus iness well as once it did. a few hundred dollars were turned into goods ? the merchant would be his own store sweeper, his own salesman, his own bookkeeper. He would man age all the affairs himself, and every thing would be net profit Wonder ful changes have come. Costly apa ratus, extensive advertising, exorbi tant store rents, heavy taxation, ex pensive agencies, are only parts of the demand made upon our commercial men. And when they have found them selves in such circumstances with small capital they have sometimes been tempted to run againit flie rocks of moral and financial destruction. This temptation of limited capital has ruined men in two ways. Some times they have shrunk down under the temptation. They have yielded the battle before the first shot was fired. At the first hard guu they surren dered. Their knees knocked together af^the fall of the auctioneer's hammer. They blanched at the financial peril. They did not understand that there is such a thing as heroism in merchan there are Waterloos of the counter, and that a man can fight no braver battle with-^he sword than r he can with the yardstick. 3 Their souls melted pa. them' because sugars were up when tfeey^ wanted to buy and down when they wanted to sell and unsalable goods were on the 3fcelf anctifcidjlebts in their ledger. The gloom of their countenances overshadowed even their dry goods and * groceries. Despondency, coming from limited capital, blasted them. Others have felt it m a different way. They Save said: ;<Here Tliave "been trudg ing along. I have been trying to be honest nU these years.' I find it is of no use. Now it is make or break." % The small craft that coold have stood the stream is put out beyond the lighthouse on the great sea of specu lation. Stocks are the dice with which he gambles. He bought for a few dollars vast tracks of western land. Some man at the east living on a fat homestead meets this gambler of for tune and is persuaded to trade off his estate here for lots in a western city with large avenues and costly pa aces ' . and lake steamers smoking at the wharves and rail trams coming down with lightning speed irom every direc tion. There it Is on all on paper! / ' The cify has never been built nor the ^ railroads constructed, but everything jfc points that way, and the thing will be * done as sure as you live. And that gfefc is tfe process by j^hich many have aktl been tempted through limitation of capital into labyrinths from which \ they could not be extricated. I would not want to chain honest : i enterprise. I would not want to block np any of the avenues for honest _ *4uacymu]ation that open up for young men. On the contrary, I would like to cheer them on and rfejoice when they reach the goal, but when there are su^ inaptitudes of men going to ruin^for this* life and the liie that i3 to ? come through wrong notions of what are lawful spheres of enterprise it is the duty of the ministgrs_of religion and the friends ofj^-i" young men to utter a plain, ^phatic, unmistakable protest JfSese are the influences that aen in destruction and per *K5oel 'f THE feverish thirst for gajn. ' \ Again, a great many of our business men are templed to over anxiety and care. You know that nearly all commercial businesses are overdone in ihi? aay. Smitten with * the love of rjuick gain, , our cities are crowded with men resolved to be rich at all hazards. They do not care how money comes. Our best merchants are ?- thrown into competition with men of more means}. and less conscience, and if an opportunity of accumulation be vj fleeted one hour some one else picks >v U up, "From January tp December \ tae draggle goes on. NTgh? gives no \iju?et*? iimbe tossing in restlessness ; bo* to a brain that will not stop think- , T *c 1*1 ing. The dreams are harrowed by imaginary loss and flushed with"1 imaginary gains. Even the Sabbath cannot dam back the tide of anxiety, for this wave of worldliness dashes clear over the churches and leaves its foam on Bibles and prayer books. Men who are living on salaries or by the culture of the soil cannot under stand the wear and tear of body and mind to which our merchants are subjected when they do not know but that their li velihood and their business honor are dependent upon the uncertainties of the next hour. Thi$ excitement of the brain, this corroding care of the heart, this strain of effort that exhausts the spirit, sends a great many of our best men in midlife into the grave. They find that Wall street does not end at the East river. It ends at Greenwood! Their life dashed out against- money safes. They go with their store on their backs. They trudge like camels, sweating from Aleppo to Demascus. They make their life a crucifixion. Standing behind 'leaks and counters, banished from the fresh air, weighed down by carking cares, they are so many suicides. KELIAtfCE ON DIVINE AID. Oh, I wish I could today rub out some of these lines of care; that I could lift some of the burdens from the heart; that I could give relaxation to some of these worn muscles. It is time for you to begin to take it a little easier. IX) your best and then trust God for the rest. Do not fret. God1 manages all the affairs of your life, and he manages them for the best Consider the ? lilies ? they always have robes. Behold the fowls of the air ? they always have nests. Take a long breath. Bethink betimes that God did not mak-j you for a pack horse. Dig yourselves out from among the hogsheads and the shelves, and in the light of the holy Sabbath day resolve that you will give to the winds your fears and your fretfulness and your distresses. You brought nothing into the world, and it is very certain you can carry nothing out. Having food and raiment, be therewith content The merchant came home from the store. There had been great disaster there. He opened the front door and said, in the midst of his family circle;, "I am ruined. Everything is gonjf I am all ruined." Hi9 wife said, am left" and the little child threw up its hands and said, "Papa, I am here." The aged grandmother, seated in the room, said, "Then you have all the promises of God beside, John." And he burst into tears and said: "God forgive me, that I have been so ungrateful. I find I have a great many things left Godcforgive me." Again I remark that many of our business men are tempted to neglect their home duties. How often it is that -the store and the home seem to clash, hut there^ought not to be any col lision. It is often the case that the father is the mere treasurer of the family, a sort of agent to sev2 that they have dry goods and groceries. The work of family government he does not touch. Once or twice in a year he calls the children up on a Sabbath afternoon when he has a ..half hour he does not exactly kaoif ~*hat to do with, and in that halfhour he discip lines the children and chides them and corrects their faults and gives them a great deal of good advice and then wonders all the rest of the year that his children do not do better when they have the wonderfnl advantage of that semiannual castigation. The family table, which ought to be the place'ibr pleasant discussion and cheerfulness, often becomes the place of perilous expedition. If^tlfcre be anyblessing asked at all, it is cut off at wfth ends, and with the hand on the carving knife. He counts on his fingers, making estimates in the in terstices of the repast. The work done, the hat goes to the head, and he starts down the street, and before the family have risen from the table he has bound up another bundle of goods and says to the customer, "Anything more I can do for you today, sir?*? DUTY TO ONE'S FAMILY. A man has more- responsibilities than those which are discharged by putting competent instructors over his ehildren and giving them a drawing master and music teacher. The phy sical culture of the child will not be attended to unless the father looks to it He must sometimes lose his dignity. He mu9t unlirwber his joints. He must sometimes lead them out to their sports and gam<3e. The parent who cannot forget th& severe duties of life sometimes ? 1? fly the kite and trundle the hoop and chase the ball and jump the rope with the children ? ought never to have . been tempted out of a cristy and unredeemable soli tariness. If you want to keep your children away from places of sin, you can only do it by making your home attractive. You may preach sermons and advo cate reforms and denounce wickedness, and yet your children will be captiva ted hy the glittering saloon of sin unless you can make your home a brighter place than any other place on earth to them. Oh, gather all charms into your house! If you can afford it, bring books and pictures and cheerful entertainments to the household. But above all teach those ! children, not by the half an hour twice a year on the Sabbath day, but day after day, and every day teach them that religion is a great gladness that throws chains of gold about the n^ck* tkalit4akes go spring from the foot, no blitheness lromiiie no sparkle from the eye, no ring from the laughter, but that "her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." ^ I sympathize with the work being done in many of our cities by which beautiful rooms are set apart Ijy out | Young Men's Christian- association, | and I pray God to prosper them in i alL things. But I tell you there is something back of that and before that We need more happy, con secrated cheerful Christain homes in America. LIMITED USES OF MONEY. Again, Fremark that a great many of our business men are tempted to put I the attainment of money above the value of the soul. It is a grand thing to have plenty of money. The more you get of it the better, if it come Jg honestly and - go usefully. jFor the lack of it sickness dies without medi cine, and hunger finds its coffin in the empty bread tray, and nakedness shivers for lack of clothes and fft^ When I hear a man in canting tirade" against money^-a Christian man ? as though it had no possible use on earth, and he had no interest in it, I come almost r to think that the heaven that would be appropriate for him would be an everlasting poorhouae! While, my iriends, we do admit there is such a thing as a lawful use of money ? a profitable use of money ? let us recognize also the fact that money cannot satisfy a man's soul, that it cannot glitter in the dark valley; that it cannot pay our fare across the Jordan of death; that it cannot unlock the gate of heaven. There are men in all occupations who seem to act as though they thought a pack of bonds and mortgages could be traded off for a title to heaven and as though gold would be a lawful tender in that place where it is so common that they make pavements out of it Salva tion by Christ is the only salvation. Treasures in heaven are the only in^' corruptible treasures. Have you ever ciphered out in the. rule of loss and gain the sum, "What shall it profit a man it he gain the whole world and lose his soul?" How ever fine your apparel the winds of death will flutter it like rags. Home spun and a threadbare coat have some times been the shadow of coming robes made white in the blood of the Lamb. The pearl of great price is worth more than any gem you can bring from the ocean, than Australian or Brazilian mines strung in one carcanet Seek after God; find his righteousness, and all shall be well here; all sharfl be tfell hereafter. LOSS OF MONEY NOT FATAL. But I must have a word with those who during the present commercial calamities have lost heavily or per haps lost all their estate. If a man lose his property at 30 or 40 yerrs of age, it iff- only a sharp discipline generally, t?? which later he comes to larger successT is all folly for a man to sit down in midlife dis couraged. The marshals of Napoleon came to their commander and said, k"We have losVfcHe battle, and we are beiug cut to pieces." Napoleon took bis watch from his pocket and said: "It is only 2 o'clock in the afternoon. You have lost that battle, hut we have time enough to win auother. Charge upon the foe!" Though the meridian of life has passed with you, and you have been routed in many a conflict, give not up in discouragement. There are victo ries yet for you to gain. But some times monetary disaster comes to a man where there is something in his age or something in his health or something in his surroundings which make him know well that he will never get up agaiu. In 1857 it was estimated that for many years previous to that time an nualy there had. been 30,000 failures in the United States. Many of those persons never recovered from the mis fortune. But let me give a word of comfort in passing. The sheriff may sell you out of many things, but there are some things of which he cannot sell you out He cannot sell out your health. He cannot sell out your fami ly. He cannot sell out your Bible. He cannot sell out your God. He cannot &11 out your heaven! Yoi* have more than you have lost Sons and daughters of Gqd, chil dren of an eternal and all loving Father, mourn not when your proper^ ty goes. The world is yours, and life is yours, and death is yours, and im mortality is yours, and thrones of im perial grandeur are yours, and rivers of gladness are yours, and shining mansions are yours, and God is yours. The eternal God has sworn it, and every time you doubt it you charge the king of heaven and earth with peijury. Instead of complaining how hard you have it, go home, take up your Bible full of promises, get down on vour knees before God and thank him for what you have, instead ol. spending so much time in complain ing about what you have not / THE ARK OF SAFETY. I Some of yeu remember 'he ship wreck of the Central Ameri ;a. This noble steamer had, I think, about 500 passengers aboard. Si lenly the storm came, and the surges trampled the decks and swung into the hatches, and there went up a hundred voiced deatli shriek. The foam on the jaw of the wave. The pitching of the steamer as though it were leaping a mountain. The dismal flare of the signal rockets. The long cougfy of the steam pipes. The hiss of the ex tinguished furnaces. The walking of God on the wave! The steamer went not down without a struggle. As the passengers stationed them selves in rows to bail out the vessel, hark to the thump of tbc buckets, as men unused to toil, with blistered hands and strained muscle, tug. for their lives. There is a sail seen against the sky. The flash of the dis tress gun sounded. Its voice is heard not for it is choked in the louder booming of the sea. A few passen gers escaped, but the steamer gave one great lurch and was gone! So there are some men who sail on pros perously in life. All's well, all's well. But at last some financial disaster comes ? a euroclydon. Down they go! the bottom .of this commercial sea strewn with shattered hulks. But because your property goes, do not let your soul go. Though all else perish, save that For I have to tell you of a more stupendous shipwreck than that which I have just mention ed. God launched this world 6,000 yeara ago. It has been going on un der freight of mountains and Immof* tals, but one day it will stagger at the cry of fire. The timbers of rock will burn, the mountains flame like masts and the clouds like sails in the judg ment hurricane. Then God shall take the passengers off the deck, and from the berths those who have long been asleep in Jesus, and he will set them far beyond the reach of storm and. peril. But how many shall go down, that will never be known until it shall be announced one day in "neaven, the shipwreck of a world! Oh, my dear hearers, wtojever you lose, Iboagh '? " V ; I !i: :i htfufe ?? ' : , ; L t . I ; i ? ' - i your houses go, though your lauds go, though all your earthly possesions perish, may God Almighty, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, save all your souls. FARLEY SPEAKS AGAIN. This Time Stanrtyarue Wlfcton Han Nettled the Gener&L To the Editor of The State: I had just sent off a' reply to Mr Stanyarne Wilson's card this a. m^ when I no ticed it also in your' paper of this date. / / I had stated "incidentally," tsui Mr Wilson says, that the report that I had attended the Donaldson caucus, went | from him to Columbia, but did not charge him with having sent it or of originating it. He told the sheriff of Spartanburg, who was on the eve of coming to Columbia, that I was at ? or that he heard I was at ? the caucus at which the "Brutus daggers sharp ened," and the sheriff told it here. I -verified this before I said anything | about it, aud only menjKrned it "iuci deutaHy to give MjriVllson a chance jto teU where he /^ot the report. It seems that the/ sheriff's memory is good, and Mr ^Vilson's is bad, for one can recollect fcho told him and the other cannot, j The only Explanation Mr Wilson makes is thati'kalong with other j>eo ple, I heard tfce next day that Col. Donaldson, Geu. Farley, his brother L. E." Farley, -and a few others had spent the evening at the Merchant's Hotel, taking tea together," etc., aud that later on in the night there had been some kinct of a cloee caucus held in a room of the hotel, and that it was j not known vrhich of them attended it, or what was its nature. "I have never heard any (Contradiction of this ac count of the evening. I had no con nection whatever with the matter be ing reported in the papers, and did not take enough interest in the affair to even inquire into it." Here is a repetition of the report, coming from Mr Wilson, with details, but there it stops. He cm remember everything he heard, but cannot give the author. He has never heard any "contradic tion," however, of "this account of the evening." Allow me to "incidentally" to tell Mr Wilsou.that after having my in spection in front of the hotel, I having an engagement for the evening, first took tea at the hotel, where I met the Donaldson Alliance party, and imme diately after went off to fill my en gagement, having only a passing con versation with them. My brother went home before darjc,and returned in his buggy for me about 10 o'clock, after M r Donaldson's caucus was over. I ana informed by Dr S. D. T. Lan caster that there was no politics in the caucus, which was purely in the inter est of the Alliance, i mention this "incidentally' just to satisfy Mr Wil- L son, who took enough "interest" in it I to report it, and to reiterate the report in the papers. He is a lawyer, and knows thai hearsay evidence wont do in the courts or before the public, and I put the contradiction in writing, so that he won't forget it, or who told him. I have asked Mr Wilson "inci dentally" through the Herald to tell Mr Hearsay and Mr Tbeysay and Mr I-heard-on-the street, that I say, and I believe that they are an awful set of liars. H. L. Farley. Columbia, S. C., Suly 11, 1893. \ * Terrible Ti-agedy at a Birthday Dirmer Party. Greenville, S. C., July 14. ? Another killing is recorded today in Greenville county, about two j and a half miles beyond Chick Springs. The victim was James Cox, and the man who did the killing is W. T. Toney ? all well-to-do farmers, neighbors and, until, today friends. Toney's son Henry was twenty-one years, old today, and Cox gave a din ner in honor of the event. Of course there wa3 whiskey on hand, and the young men had been drinking. Hen ry Toney and James Cox were in the I yard, and got into a playful scuffle/ ^wnich resulted in one or both getting "nil^d, and a regular fight followed. T.jJohn and Mrs. Cox took a hand in the fight, and the three, it is claimed, I attacked young Toney with fists, a hoe and a broom handle. W. T. Toney wa3 sitting in the house, pleasantly talking with his eld- | erly friends, when seeing the attack on his son, rushed into the yard with his open pocket knife and drove ihe blade into the right side of James Cox's neck. Cox walked to the piazza, laid down, and in half an hour was dead, bleeding to death. The cutting took place about 12 o'clock. Toney and his son surrender ed to the sheriff, and were lodged in jail tonight. GOOD FOR THE SOUTH. Not Less Than *35,000 to be Distributed In This Section. Baltimore, Md., July 10. ? From figures compiler! by the Manufacturers' Record, it is estimated that not less than $25,000,000 will be disbursed in interest and dividends by Southern railways, banks and othet corporations during this month. Nearly ail this money will go into circulation in ;the South, and its effects wifl be very ben eficial to the general business and financial situation. The Southern banks make a particularly good show ing. Out of 117 banks declaring dividends only eight are paying less than 6 per cent per annum, while one declares 40 per cent per annum inter est. LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE. Denver Shaken by -the Explosion of 8.0Q0 Poond? of Dynamite. Denver, Col., July 10. ? Almost the entire city was shocked at 4:30 o'clock this Morning by an explosion of 8,000 pounds of dynamite in a stor age house in South Denvgfr- the peo ple were arroused fromtneir beds by the concussion in the section of the city where the explosion occured. There was a general destruction of window panes. Many doors were blown from hinges. Two men are supposed to have been blown to pieces. Particles of clothing and a revolver were found near the scene.

Horrible, Holo caust Near the "White City." Chicago, July 10.? Fire was dis covered in a tower of the big coal storage warehouse near the Sixty, fourth street entrance of the World's Fair at 1:50 p. in. ,While a large number of firemen were on the dome of the building, flames burst out below them and they were^pj to jump to the roof below, a distance of about one hundred feet A few minutes later, the tower fell u{?on the roof, crushing it in aod car ryaig into the burning building a. large number of firemen dead and alive. Among those carried down by the tower were some who had come upon n?* their companions who had fallen or jumped from the dome. I his all happened in sight of twenty or thirty thousand visitors to the fair. The excitement among them was indescribable. * No accurate estimate of loss of life or money is as yet possible. Wildly exaggerated lories as to the extent of the loss have gone abroad. Fire Marshal Murray rej>orbi four teen firemen killed, that two or three painters at work in'. the tower Could not iH>esibly bave escaped, and that several Co 1 u m b f^n,G liar tb, wlio joined in the effort to extinguish the tire at its first appearauce^lost their lives 1 lie financial loss will probably ex ceed a half million dollars. N dimensions of the storage ware house destroy etl were 130 by 257 feet. It had a massive tower running to an altitude of 2M feet. The place was outfitted with complete apparatus for the manufacture of ice, cold storage, etc., and was on the grounds as an exhibit. The artificial ice rauk iu the top story ha/1 just been completed, and the place was usually thronged with sight seers. ? The fall of the buildiug sent to death,; as far as known at midnight, at least eighteen men, and injured nineteen others. The full extent of the death wrought may never be known, as the building collapsed totally in so short a time after the fire started that many people who entered the building hoping to render aid lie fore the peril under which they weie placing themselves was realized, were caught like rats in a trap. Lnited States soldiers, foreign sol diers and Buffalo Bill's cowboys did excellent work in restraining and calming the frenzied crowd on the exposition grounds. Two hours after the calamity oc curred i $2,400 had been subscribed for families of those killed or injured I" ao ?0me 8ubscribe<i #1,000, others SoOO and others smaller amounts. Scenes \were most heartrending. Men were burnt to death in plain sight ofj helpless and horrified thous ands. Many jumped from the tower to a roof a hundred feet below, through ft solid wall of fire, reaching it just jin time for the tower to fall over them and blaze up, a fearful funeral pyre. ' Some who jumped became imbedded in the roof composition. ?1ET US HAVE PEACE." Confederate Veterans Pay Mrs. U. S. Grant a Graeefal Compliment. Lakeland, Fla., July 9. ? The Con federate veterans of Polk county, Fla., have organized the Francis S. Barlow Camp of Confederate Veterans. During the meeting, the following resolutions were offered by Perry M. Delon, an ex-Confederate naval officer, and cordially seconded by many, and unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the Francis S. Bar low Camp of Confederate Veterans present * their complimnts to Mrs. U.S. J0rant, and desire^to express their grateful appreciation of her re cent graceful acts of courtesy to Mrs.., Jefferson Davis. "Resolved, That this action on the part of Mrs. Grant touches the hearts of our people and evidences the fact that the historic prayer of her great husband, 'Let us have peace,' has indeed become a reality, and announ ces to the world that we have once more a united and harmonious coun try, wherein the bitterness of the past has been forgotten and mutual respect and sympathy exists. "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs. Grant, coupled with the hope that she may enjoy a loDg, peaceful and happy life. THE POMEROY CATASTROPHE. Food, Clothing, Etc., Wanted for the Injured People. Fort Dodge, la., July U. ? Tne ap peals for financial aid made by Gover nor Boles for the suffering survivors of the Pomeroy tornado is meeting with a fair response from all parts of the State, and already $2 000 has been received by the relief committee. This city will send $500 and the county j the same tomorrow. The in.ured ar- i riving get good care from the physi cians, but many thiugs are needed for j their comfort. Clothing of all kinds | cannot be sent in too great abundance. | Food for the sict will also be a daily recurring "want for many weeks to come. Owing to the severe nature of the injuries which most of the ]*|>ple j have sustained, weeks, and even months must intervene !>efore they can care for themselves. Many will die soon; some will linger in auguish for weeks, and some will be hopelessly j crippled for life. Wholesale Poisoning by Cheese. Mansfield, Ohio, July 12.? The wholesale case of poisoning by eating cheese in this city is much worse than at first supposed. Nearly every person in twenty-five families who purchased and ate of the cheese is now afHicted, and for twelve persons there Is very alight hopeof recovery. One hundred and ten persons sampled the cheese, which was maufactured near the city. Nine doctors, together with the coroner, are ifl charge of the afflicted and although no deaths are reported, several are expected to die. THE U. S. SUPREME COURT SPECULATION AS TO JUSTICE BLATCHFORD'S SUCCESSOR. A Southern Man May Tie Appointed to the Vacancy and the Present Arrange ment of the Circuits Reconstructed. Washington, July 14. ? Specula tion is rife in Washington concerning the appointment of a successor to the late Justice Blatchford. The names of ex-Minister to England Phelps, of Vermont, F. C. Courdert and James C. Carter of New York and Secretary Gresham are prominently mentioned. It is asserted, however, with a great deal of }>ositiveues8, that Secretary Gresham is not nor will he be a can didate. The opinion prevails that President Cleveland has fully made up his mind concerning the appoint ments to be made to the Supreme Bench during his administration, but what he contemplates is an unknown quantity. The circuit presided over by the late Justice Blatchford comprises the three districts of New York and the districts of Connecticut and Vermont, the Circuit Judges of which are W. J. Wallace of Syracuse, E. Henry Lacombe of New York and Nathaniel Shipman ot Connecticut. It would be within the rule to select one Associate Justice of the Supreme Court from either of the States ol New York, Ver mont or Connecticut President Cleveland, however, is not likely to appoint a Republican J ustice as au ollset to President Harrison's appoint ment of Justice Jackson, a Democrat. Nevertheless, by promoting one of the Circuit or District Judges, he would have two appointments to fill, as did President Harrison when he promoted Justice Jackson. While the appointment does not necessarily belong to the States com prising the existing circuit, the prac tice has been to regard locality in dis tributing the Justices of the Supreme Court. The Eastern and Middle States have had three Justices? G ray of Massachusetts, Blatchford of New York and Shiras of Pennsylvania, lhe West has Chief Justice Fuller aud Justices Brown of Michigan, Harlau of Illinois and Brewer of Kansas. The Pacific slope 'has Jus tice Field, and that portion of the South comprising the federal districts of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis sissipi, I?uisiaua and Texas has one Justice, Mr Jackson. Justice Harlan was originally appomt&t from Ken tucky, but now claims residence in Illinois. The balance of the Southern circuits are divided as follows: Chief Justice Fuller presides over the cir cuit composed of the Districts of Maryland, Virginia, West,. Virginia and North and South Carolina. The District of Delaware is in the circuit of Justice Shiras. The Kentucky and the Tennessee districts are in Justice Brown's district, while the Districts of Missouri and Arkansas are presided over by Justice Brewer. The Southern States have long com plained that they are not adequately represented on the Supreme Bench, and should have another Justice from that section. It is quite probable under these circumstances, that Presi dent Cleveland may coincide with such views and appoint a Southern man to succeed the late Justice Blatchford. Such selection would necessitate a reorganization of the cir cuits, so as to place nearly if not all the Southern districts in circuits to be presided over by Justices appointed from the South. A SENSATIONAL FUNbRAL That of ft Murdered Family of nix Person*. Lancaster, Pa., July 12.? The most sensational funeral ever held in this county, if not in this State, was that thi^morning of Daniel S. K rieder, his wife and four children, who were murdered at Cando, N. I)., by Albert Bomberger. The bodies were laid side by side in Kisser's Menonite meet ing house, in Mount Joy township, aud as early as <> o'clock this morn ing, when the doors opened, a steady stream of people poured into the bnild iDg to get a look at the murdered peo ple. Even at 4 o'clock the roads lead ing to the church were filed with ve hicles, which, by the time unnounced | for the services, filled every available space within half a mile of the church. It is estimated that there were :>,()()<) carriages and 15, 000 persons present. Owing to the crowd, services were held both m and outside the church. ! The jam to get into the building to see the victims was so great that may women fainted, fhoso who got among the crowd were forced in by | pressure, aud the only way ot exit was through a window. The bodies were laid side by side in ! one grave, fourteen feet long and seven | and one-hall' feet wide.'

The Inter- j nal Revenue Department has issued a i new circular to collectors relative to ! the collection of the tax on fruit bran- ! dy. It is intended to admonish col lectors against the too frequent and unnecessary visitation of such distiller- 1 ies a habit that has grown until the fees have become out of proportion to the taxes collected. The new regulations suggest that visits should be lrom two to four in number each month during the period of active operations, each successive visit by a different officer. I and that the employment of special officers shall close at the close of active operations in each district, and in all cases, unless speciality authorized, not later than December 1st for Infants and Children, T i HIRTY years' observation of C+atori* with thejmtron?< millions of persons, permit va to Hp <mk of it without gwmi It is nnq nrmiio nabl y th? best remedy f?r Infants and CMl tt^worldjia^vor kr-?u-a.

Washington, July 11.? Repre sentative J. L. Wilson of West Virginia, who presided over the Chicago convention anil who is recog nized as one of the inevitable leaders in the next Congress, arrived in the city this morning. Questioned as t<? the probable outcome of the extra session, he said: 4,lt has always been my belief that the extra session wili-l>e" continuous and that no recess can be taken. Under any circumstance, however, the taritf question will be considered. So soon as the Committee on Ways and Means is announced the tariff will be taken up by them, and even should there be a recess before the regular session in December, the committee will continue to have sessions for consideration of the new taritf law which the committee will re port to the House. The rumored intention to place him at the head of the Committee on Ways and Means was mentioned, and he was asked if he would accept the place. Wilson hesitated a moment and then replied with a smile: "I have never known of any one refuging a good chairmanship if it was offered to him, but I will say that the chairman of that committee during the next Con gress will not have his honor without his labors." He added that lie had received no j intimation on the subject beyond what he read in the newspaj>ers. He further said there would be no op position to the re election of Mr. Crisp as Speaker, so far a* he knew, and that he believed a majority of thn j>eople of West Virginia were in favor of the rejH'al of the Sherman law. ?iCENTRil CYCLE MFG.
