This man had his combat in Wall street; this one on Broad street? this one en Fnlton street; th;s one on Chestnut street; this one on State street, t'uis one en Lombard street; this one on the bourse. With financial mislortutie you have had the midnight wrestle. Itedhot disasters ^ror>Ded into Your store *-* ? , XT C -r from loft to cellar. What ycu bought ycu cculd not sell. Whom you trusted fled. The help you expected would not come. Some giant panic, with ioog arms and grip like death, took hold Oi yGu in an awlul wrestle, irom which ycu have net jet escaped, and it is uncertain whether il will throw you or you will throw it. Here is auotber in struggle with some bad appetite. He knew not how stealthily it was growing upon him. One hour he woke ud. He said, "For the sake ot 1 ? * my scul, of my family aud of my children aud of my God, I must stop this!" And, be hold, he found himself alone by the brook Jabbok, and it was midnight. That evil appetite seized upon him, and he seized upon it, and, oh, the horror ot the codllici! Wiien once, a bad habit has aroused itself up to destroy a man, and the man has sworn that, by the help of the eternal God, he will destroy it, all heaven draws ltself out in a long line of light to look from above, and hell stretches itself in mjrmidocs of spite to look up from beneath. I have seen men rally themselves for such a struggle, and ~N?^ they have bitten their lip and clinched ? their lists and cried with a blood red earnestness and a rain ol scalding tears, "God help me!" From a wrestle with habit 1 have seen men tall bacs defeated. Calling tor ao help, but relying on their own resolutions, they have ecms into the struggle, and for a time it seemed as if they were gett'u g the upper hand of their habit, but that habit rallied a^ain its internal power and lifted a soal irom its standing and with a lorce borrowed from the-pit hurltd it into utter darkness. First i saw the auctioneer's mallet tall on the pictures, and musical instruments, and the rich upholstery oi his i&caiiy parlor. Alter awhile I saw h;m iali into the dUcb. Then, in the midnight, wheu the chil drca were dreaming their sweetest dreams and Christian households are silent with slumber aogel watched I heard him give the sharp shriek that, fallowed the stab of his own poniard.

But thank God, I have often seen a better termination than that. I fcave eeea men piepare themselves for such a wrestling. Thev laid hold of God's help as they went into combat. Tfce giant habit, regaled by the cup of many temptations, came out sirens and defiant. Tbey clinched. There were tv,a wriihinos sr (1 distortions Oi a fearful strusi^Ie.

If rumor be true, some material changes ;n the bill have been made in the way of coacessions, and the industries of the Slates represented by the so-called "conservative'' Senators will get more protection than was believed possib'e early last week. In many cases, it is sai3, specific rates will be restored and several reductions of rates imposed by the House bill have benn abandoned. No changes have been made in the free list so far a3 can be as certaioed. Coal, iron ore and lead ore will, it is said, remain as the Senate previously reported them, although pressine was brought to bear to have duties on raw material ia-. creased. Ia this conaection an iotere3tiog story was afloat today. While lead ore remains uachanged, it is given out that the dutie3 on lead products have been increased. Of these, of course, white lead is tbe chief. Under the present law white lead has a duty of 3 cents a pound. The House committee reduced it to U cents, aDd that was permitted to stand." It is now said that this rate will be increased to 2 cents, the authority for that statement D2ing a wen Known Senator, who ought to know what is goias on in the committee. It is also said to be practically settled that the 1-10 of a cent discriminating duty on refined sugar levied against countries paying a bounty on refined sugars exported, will b8 given beyond aoy que:lion. The sugar growers, represented by Stnators Csfrery and Blanchard, still believe they will be able to set 45 per cent, ad valorem on raw sugar instead of the 40 per cent the committee has offered them.

In addition to the unfinished speeches of Senators Quay, Dolph and Stewart, Mr. Squire of Washington has given notice of an intention to speak this week, ana Mr. Aldrich is preparing a speech which he hopes to deliver before the week ends.

These regions were confined principally to the middle belt of counties, wherever there were showers.

There were a few scattered showers during tha wtek which were very beneOciai lor the limited areas where they occurred. In the counties that had the heavy showers of -he pre vious week rain is needed to soften the crust that covers plowed ground and which retards cotton and corn from coming up freely. In the two tiers of counties next the coast, the need of rain is most urgent as the. drought is becoming serious. Throughout this region the rainfall has beec but from 1-8 to 1-3 of .the usual amount in April and but from 1-5 to 1-2 of tha usual jimnrmt since the 1st of March. The soil for the most part being: of a sandy nature is not as capable of sustaining a prolonged drought as a clayey soli do. Crops are from tea days to two weeks behind the season; farm work is well up, and was not interrupted during lha week. Gotten planting is nearly iiQis'atd, the weather havia^ been all that could be desired for thn purpose. The same cannot be said for the seed that is up or that of later planting, for with the exceptions noted, the ground lacks the moisture to suddIc the needs of tbe growing piant or to germinate tha late plaDted seed. The stand will depend on the weather conditions of the nexr two weeks largely. Ssa Island cotton is reported a complete failure. In general corn is Lot makipga good stand.

Richmond, ya., May 2?a Staunton special to the Dispatch says: The trial of Lawrence Spiller, charged with the murder of Lottie Rowe, was concluded this morning at 10:30 o'clock. It was a tragic scene in the bloody drama when Commonwealth Attorney Meade F. White bade the burly blacksmith to stand before the jnry, pull off his coat, show the jury his undershirt and litted the blood-stained piece of garment into a square hole in the prisoner's shirt sleeves. It corresponded in shape, texture and color. It was a cleverly arranged climax. Spillei's paramour, Kose 13rown, had testified that she, at the prisoner's command, had cue the cloth from the shirt that the prisoner had on. The defense offered no witness and the case wa3 given to the jury without argument. The jury retired and returned in three minutes with a ver diet of murder In the lirst degree, which tlie prisoner received stoically. The usual motion for a new trial on the ground that the veidict was contrary to the law and the evidence was everruled by the court. Mr. White, who since Sunday morning, with ceaseless activity and unerring aim, has pushed the Commonwealth's case, asked for an immediate sentence. Judge Chalkley in delivering the sentence, asked the prisoner: "You nave had a fair and impartial trial by your countrymen; have you anything to say why sentence should not be pronouced now?" The prisoner replied: ".No." The judge then added: "The sentence of the court is that you be taken from the court house to the city jail and be there confined untii the 8'.h of June and that you be taken thence and hanged by the neck until you are dead, .and may God have mercy on your suuw Tbe State law requires that a prisoner is not to be executed until at least thirty days after sentence. As the prisoner sat down, he said in a spirit of resignation rather than bravado: "Well, death <1 >es not come but once, and I may as well go now as at any time." He asked Sheriff Watts for a drink of wniskey frooa?riie botUe that was found at his home and upon being told that it was in his boors, which were us> d as evidence in the trial, said: "I don'c care for the boot3, but would lilieto have a taste of that whiskey."

Spiller knocked Bradford senseless with a bludgeon and took the girl to a field. When Bradford recovered consciousness he ran to the girl's uncle's where the dance was held, and gave an alarm. The girl's mutilated body was found on the track just before a belated train went by.

Quebec, April 30.?About 8:30 o'clock Friday night the inhabitants of the village of St. Albao, situated ? ?: v? I suiuc Liny muca iiutu ucic iu. xuiu Xeuf county,heard a terriflic noise, resembling the roliof thunder in the distance. The soil commencing to vibrate, apinic ensued. Farmers ran ont of their dwelings to avoid being . buried under the rains, a3 it bey believed the ground was going to give away beneath them. At tne upper end of the village, some three miles'from the parish church is a curve formed by the river St. Anne and close to the curve is a water fall 150 feet high. The ground forming the right hand side of the fall gave way, burying the pulp wood mill, which was situated right underneath, and block ing the course of the stream. The stream, which was very rapid on account of the melting snow over the mountains and adjacent valley, spread DVC.V thu Q/^irvininor farms CJ?TlSPfi the undermined embankment to slide into the river, tilling it up. Several houses along the river bank were carried into the river. One of them was occupied by a family named Gauthier, numbering four p?rsoss, ail of whom perished. Smoak was seen to ascend from under the ruins, showing what an awful death the occupants must nave met. The ground which slid into the river tneasured about six square miles. Wnoie farms have been destroyed and th^-ir stocks and farm produce. The old bed of St. Anne river is now levelled and the river runs miles from where it coursed before. Three bridges were c;irri^l away, namely, the St. A IKi^n w * mo r* K*?MrTO Q n H Vi Q aiua:j, Oli. V/a^HXiCi. auu tuv ?_,w? An&e bridge. People In the neighborhood cf the scene of tho disaster are s'ili tor tor-stricken. The oldest inhabitants of the place never witnessed or heard of such a thing before although several landslides have occurred in the neighborhood during lasr fifr.y years. Tae rush of water from the Laurentian chain of mountains is tremendous during the epring rime, owing to the melting snow, and it is thought by scientific men that the grouud had bs-n honeycombed by the water, owing to the fact that fhe lower strata of soil formation are mostly ciay. Large tracts of land with trees and vegetation haye bf>en shifted without the ieast disturbance, while in other places, the land wa3 completely turned over. Booms and wharves of J. A. Rosseau were carried away. The St. Lawrence, at Quebec, is covered with wreckage and carcasses of animals. Market boats was unable to come down Saturday from adjacent parishes, owing to the amount of wreckage floating on the st.ream. The losses are estimated at $500,000. The Militia Columbia, 3. C., May 3.?Oyer one hundred military companies have been organized in South Carolina since the Darlington affair and it looks like there will be no end to the organizations which want to enter the service ot the State ana which promise to be loyal to the commander-in-chief in limes of trouble. All the companies which have applied for admission have been mustered into service; at least the ofthers have been commissioned. The laws of the State allow onlv one hundred military companies which shall receive arms, ammunition and aid from the State. This numbir is the limit, but there is no limit to the number fit reserve comnanies al? lowed. Including the companies to be dimissed Irom service because of their failure to respond to the call of Governor Tillman there will be vancancies for about twenty-five of the new companies. A hard matter will be to decide which of the hundred and more new companies shall have the hoaor of entering the regular service. Some of them, those which were organized immediately after the Darlington trouble, have already been supplied with arms, ammunition and uniforms. Of course the new companies which do not get into the regular service will have to waii until there are openings. As a reserve torce the companies wili have to supply their own arms and uniforms if- thfiv want, them. There ia no necessity, however, for them to do this. All that is necessary is lor them to prescrvs their organizations. Governor Tillman said yesterday that he had not had time to coG3ider the reorganization of the military of the State. So soon as he gets tbe time he will issue orders and begin the Reorganization, The Governor did not say positively yesterday that he iutends to dismiss certain Columbia and Charleston companies from service, but the plain inference from his remarks was that none of them will be allowed to remain in military ranks. The Governor was asked if there was any law to prevent the companies to be dismissed from maintaining themselves as independent military organizations He said that he had not read the law on <( >? niiontinn V.nf /1i<4 n if Irn/^HT ant)!hinCT tuo Vj U^SLiUUf VUW UlU i-4 J K nuv *V V UJ wu>uq agaiust their having all the guns and uniform* thev wanted.

Tsere was a mystery that nobody could explain. A few uajs ago, bowever, themjiery was solved complete! v. Mr. Henry Keller, a termor and a native ot Germany, lives aboul two miles cortb of Yorkviiie. Mr. Keller happecei ^ " -it *? co ce iuny acquainted wua uue jscis ;be case, and on reading the story he promptly came to iowu to clear up the mystery. Here is his slorj: "Along in 1871, ycu know, a large number cf soldiers were sent down here to suppress the Kuklux. Well that sun was put in that hole by oce of these soldier*. One morning I got up very early to commence cuttiDs wheat. It was not good daylight. I saw two men coming toward me. Who could they be I thought. When tfce7 got close I saw they were Yankee soldiers, una one o: them was a German, with wnom I w&s acquainted, named Snelieberger. SheUeberger said to me: "Mr. Keller, we have just deserted and I wa^t you to take care of us until tonight.' I tcld him all right, ?nd advised aim to stick close to the woods. They took my advice and at dinner lime try wife cooked them a good dinner. Then iheiieberger told me' how he got away. He &aid: "We were both in the guard house for trying to de3erl, and a soldier stood guard over us with a dcuble-barrel shotgun. Last night I caught ihe soldier when be was not looking and took his gun away Irom him. I told him i? he opened hi3 mouth I would kill him. He promised not to give the ala1 m under the circumstances Then I told him to take the Irons ell'our lags and he at once obeyed orders, because he kaew that if he refused he would be a dead man. After he removed ihe shackles we made him march down the nill to the tank and th9re we turned him loose. Just as we turned him louse we threw the sun in the tank and started to run. He went backhand, as you see, we aot away." "Shelleber^er told me," said Mr. Iv?.l ler; l*ihat the sun was worth about ?80, aud advised me to g~> and yet .it, tut, I never did do it. That same day tho soldiers scoured ihe country everywhere looking lor Sheiiebercer and his companion, but they never did catch them, aud I have not lold about their escaps until this day."

C., May 1.?An unfortunate affair developed yesterday in Trial J ustice Stack's court, which it is hoped will come out all right in the future, for many of the friends of the accused do not believe that he is guilty of any criminal action. The story as developed at the trial is this: Mr. H, J. Bruce, who came here from Georgia some months ago, to run the stock, cotton and produce exchange, recently closing the exchange, was pressed by Mr T. A.Scott, one of the licuor dis pensers, for an amount of money he had given Mr. Bruce to invest for him in cotton futures. Mr. Bruce falling to produce the amount, Mr. Scott had a warrant issued for his arrest on the charge of breach of trust. Yesterday a preliminary hearing was held before Justice Stack in the case and Mr. Bruce was-. boucd over for trial at the Court of General Sessions in the sum of $300. Mr. Scott gaye Mr. Brace 8300 to invest for him at certain turns of the market. It seems this wa3 done by Mr. Bruce in Mr. Scott's name at first, and he paid to Mr. Scott about ?280 profits. ^ pAftino t-h<vf Vin fnnV fha nrinM XL1CU, lb Q^Cliio mug uo uvvu pal and invested it in his own name and lost it. Ee claimed that while he put it in his own name he invested it for Mr. Scotr, Mr. Scott holds the view that Mr- Bruce invested the money tor himself, and had he won would have kept the profit. Mr. Bruce was represented yesterday by Mr. Joseph K. Alston, and the prosecution by Mr. J, P. Thomas, Jr. Mr. Bruce in a statement given the press last night said that it was impossible for him to introduce at the preliminary hearing the evidence which would have prevented the trial justice from sending the case to the higher court. He says he will insist upon a full trial in the higher court and when the case is heara he will show that T. A. ScOtt gave him, for margins, ciiecfes which' -* ? ^ 4 In4a /%{ ol AOni f%\ _ were SlgUCU uy U1LU lu uu UUI/UU vmjuiwty as dispenser, ana it was not until bis speculations ran against him that he squealed. Mr. Bruce says he will also show that he paid Mr. ScGtt on account of the $300, some S200. Ee avers that tie deposited this, but Scott claims tnat it was only on account of profits. Mr. Bruce further says that "it will also bs shown that Mr. Scott has speculated before in futures, and sorae of his losses, guaranteed by others, are as yet unpaid." It is a peculiar case all around, and its progress in the higher courts wiil' be watched with lnterest.--State. TO ADVANCE THE SOU An Imyor: ant CoosresatO be Held Soot la Au??it?, Ga.
