A. firm of importers in Chicago has begun a suit for the recovery of du , ties paid, on the ground that the govern? ment ha? no right to levy taxes for any other purposes than the support of the government and the legitimate expenses thereof, and that under Oar constitution 'Ehe. levying of a tax on the people for the iBupport of private of corporate enterpri V aes, business or manufactures of any kind ? is not warranted. A number of firms in ' jSfci Lonis.have also united to contest the I; legality of the McKinley law. The ground ; on which this last attack is made is that the Bill passed by the Senate was not the ?j&n^e Bill signed by the President, as -through a clerical error, an entire section Vwas left out. Other equally important ? points are made. Cincinnati importers J^uicve also brought suits involving- the va? lidity- of the act, in which the points / raised are the same as those raised by both . the St. Leu'is and Chicago disputants. ' The Southern Farmer says the cause of ' the low price of cotton is agreed to on all 'sides as a consequence of an immense in? crease of acreage daring the past year. <Many tenants, as well as landlords, are - holding, their cotton for better prices.

A combined action of this.EorLwould be almost certain to raise ' the price of cotton from two to four cents j^pound by the first of May, and every farmer who-can hold his cotton this long aid get the advantage of it. 14 would of course, raise the price for'the present ear in proportionate degree.

Jackson, Tenn., January 30.?A dar? ing safe robbery was committed at Saltil lo, Tenn., yesterday morning. The safe of Craven & Williamson, merchants, was cracked by dynamite and several thous? and dollars stolen.

The fire started in the millinery store of Mrs. Leon Maloney, above which slept Mr. Maloney, hiB 3 ycar-old daughter, and his brother-in-law, Michael Slattery, of. Pennsylvania, who was visiting there. Those three were suf? focated by smoke, and bnrned to a crisp.

Harmon, a prominent physician of Prosperity, this State, committed sui? cide at his home last night. About 11 o'clock he kissed his wife and baby good bye, saying that he was going to his mother's. Several hours afterward his wife*heard groans in another room. She found her husband in bed with the bood flowing from an ugly wound in the side of his head; caused by a pistol hall. The cause of the suicide is a mystery. Dr. Harmon was considered one of the most substantial men financially in his section of the country. Pittsbue?, January SO.?Wm. Faulks, living at Laurel station, emptied the con? tents .of a double barreled shotgun into his wife with fatal results. He had been steadily reading several chapters of the -Bible, and finally in a religions frenzy, killed his faithful wife. He is now insane and under lock and key. The shooting, of Mrs. W. J; Faulk, by her husband in a fit of religions enthusiasm has resulted in a warrant being issued for one George Krauff. as an accessory before the fact. Faulk declares his religious insanity was inspired by the hypnotic influence of Krauff, who claimed to be another mes siah, and ordered him to kill his wife. This Faulk did, and.the officers are now hunting Krauff, who has disappeared. After Thirty-nino Tears; A Mr. Maull, who is connected with Hal soy's mill, at the west end of the city,! swallowed a brass pin some thirty-nine j years ago. He was then nine or ten I years old, and remembers* the occurrence perfectly. He was playing.with his sis- i ter and put the pin in his month to keep it In laughing he swallowed it. Soon afterwards he had an an irritated throat and chest, and coughing set in. His symptoms were those of a person in need of Koch's lymph. In coughing, yesterday, the pin came up. It was coated with a coating of hard snbstance, resembling verdigris, and had become considerably enlarged. As. soon as Mr. Maull coughed up the pin, he felt at once relieved of all pain in his chest and throat, and is greatly rejoiced at the result. He has the souvenir of his years of Buffering in a vial.?Charletlon World, Feb. S._ - Too Previous for Peffer. Topeka. Kas., February 2.?It is said that the Alliance leaders are already be? ginning to talk of Senator-elect Peffer as an Alliance or Third Party candidate for. President in 1892. Speaker Pro Tem Marchatt remarked that such a thing would not be at all out of the question. Said he: "Kansas is going to be the leader of the Alliance movement. The election of a United States Senator and five Congressmen before the party is a year old is a greater victory than was ever achieved by a new party in any State. It puts Kansas in the front in this great movement, and this State may be called upon to furnish the Presiden? tial ' candidate. If Kansas names the leader in 1892, it is probable it would be United States Senator Peffer." ? ? i-??n A Strange Story While a huge pine log was being sawed into timber at a saw mill on a small creek some two miles from Athens, as the workmen were turning it over preparato? ry to "squaring it," what was their astonishment to see the head of a huge frog bob out, where he was imbedded and barely e?caped being cut by the saw. How in the world.his toadship got there 13 a mystery, as he was completely in? cased without any possible means of ingress and egress. As the log was the fourth or fifth from the butt of the tree, the frog must have had his apartment some fifty or sixty feet from the ground. We know of bat one solution to give to this phenomenon, and it is that the animal must have, from life's young break-of-day, grown up with that tree and he must have been a century old when the saw first waked him from his Rip-Van-Winkle nap. The tree was perfectly sound with the exception of a decayed spot some inches below the hermetically sealed prison of the frog. The animal was very fat and was unable to move when pulled out of hiB den, and he was taken in hand by one of the negroes who discovered him in his singular domicile. This is one of tho most wonderful stories on record. ? A census of Charleston, S.

Imagination Killeil Her, A remarkable instan?e of the held superstition has upon the mind of. even the educated and religions was recently exhibited in the case of Mrs. Rebecca Byrnes, of Helena, Ark., a lady noted for her intellectual, attainments and pious life. One morning, arising in what, seemed her usual health and spirits, she summoned her children to come to her. One son was residing in Topeka Kan., one in New Orleans, two daughters were .married and living in Sedalia. Mo., but obedient to their mother's call, they came at once, though ignorant of the reason of their summons. When all were about her the lady informed ' them that she had a dream, in which her hus? band, who had been dead for nearly fif? teen years, had warned her that she had only ten days more of life. She sent for her children to bid them good-bye, which she proceeded to do with much calmness, but with the air of one who had not the slightest doubt that she was already dy? ing. ' Her friends attempted to reason with her and to point out the folly of placing such perfect confidence in a dream, but all to no purpose, for the lady persisted in asserting that she would depart from earth on such a day and exactly at a certain hour. Her pastor remonstrated with her, and even brought the severest censure to bear on her superstitious credulity, and at last Mrs. Brynes ceased to speak of the matter, bo that her family had begun to think that she had conquered her fancy. She continued in good' health and pursued her usual daily life, but just before the hour she had predicted would be that of her death she sought her chil? dren and bade them good-bye, then seating herself quietly in an arm chair, expired just as the hour was struck. The physicians declare that her death was due Bolely to her imagination.?Cincinna? ti Inquirer. Drew Straws for the YFlfe. Wilkesbaere, Pa.,. January 20.?A romantic event has come to light here. It is a repetition of the- old tale of Enoch Arden, hut with a Bomewhat different ending. In -1888 William EvanB and Maggie rFilliams were residents of Tarn aqua,- Schuylkill County. They fell in love with each. other, and in course of time were married. Evans, who previ? ously worked in the mines, had a little capital, and after his marriage started a small mercantile business. He did not succeed very well, and becoming discour? aged sold out and went to Colorado. : In the meantime two children were born to the couple. The. husband promised that he would send for his wife and chil? dren as soon as he made a home for them in the TFest. For two years Evans work? ed in the mines of Colorado. He sent money home to his wife every month. Then he fell sick and was taken to a hos? pital. Tb?t'e (he last his wife heard of him until some months later, when she received a paper apprising her of her husband's death. Upon receipt of this news Mrs. Evans removed to TTilkeabarre and kept house for her uncle. She was a good looking woman for her age, and in the spring of 1889 married John S. Jenkins, and both lived happily together. On Friday Mrs. Jenkins heard, a knock at her front door and sent her oldest girl to open the door. A well-dressed man stood in the doorway. He said to the little girl: "Is your mam? ma in? and is she all alone?" The little miss responded: "Yes, mamma is in and all alone." The gentleman then walked in. Mrs. Jenkins recognized the man at once as her husband. She. fainted, and after she recovered she explained the situation. The hus? band said it was all hiB fault; he should have kept up his correspondence with his wife. He had been sick, but recov? ered ; the Evans who died was another man. In the evening Mr. Jenkins came home and his surprise was great. "What are we going to do now, wife?" he asked. "Indeed, I don't know," said. Mrs. Jen? kins, "I always did love my first husband and I love you, too. I don't like to give either of you up." After a long discussion of the situation the men agreed that two husbands were too many for one woman; they would pall straws for her. Tbe woman agreed. Evans won. . Husband No. 2 at once packed up his belongings and moved out of the house. - Mrs. Evans still retains possession of his child,* but with the father's consent, Early thia week EvanB will remove his family to Denver. The affair has created no little excitement here._ _ ' Hicks's Forecast for February. ? The general storm movements organ? izing during the last two days of January will grow in violence as they sweep Eastward, reaching their worst between the lBt and 3d, inclusive. On tbe South Bide of storm areas, dangerous storms need -not surprise, while to the Northward destructive eiset and snow blizzards are apt to result. Prepare for the period to end in one of the most general and bitter cold waves of the Winter. The wires will suffer woefully during the perturba . tioas of this period. Mark our warnings for heavy sleet. The cold will generally relax, and much local storm in ess will follow on and next to the reactionary 6th and 7th. The 12th is the central day of tho next regular storm period. This period will begin to feel severely the distributing power of the growing Venus perturba? tion. Very warm temperature?enor? mous rainfalls with thunder and light? ning in many places, turning to snow, and followed at the close by extreme cold, will he the natural order for this period. We name the 12th, 18th and 14th as the days of greatest activity and danger. The extreme East may not feel the full force before the 15th. Pheno? menal fluctuations of temperature?warm here and zero yonder?with astonishingly rapid changes, will characterize all the disturbances during the remainder of the month. Low lands and narrow-gorged water channels are apt to be suddenly and dangerously flooded. Regions to the Northward will have heavy snows and blizzards, with extreme and sudden drops of the mercury that will call for prudent vigilance. On and next to the 18th, higher temperature and reactionary storms will be due. Therefore, the period running from about the 22d to 25th, inclusive, is one that will bear watching.? Words and Works. Stopping A Train. The following story is told by B. W.: Vedder, a locomotive engineer now in St. Louis; "When the Kansas Pacific was first opened the Indians were very hostile, and there was constant fear that, they would wreck the trains. That they did not is due to their ignorance of the iron horse and of the best methods of de? stroying it. One of my firemen had an experience with the Cheyennes that he will never forget. He was on the road near Fort Wallace when he saw that the Indians had out the telegraph wire and knew that he might look out for squalls. They were never satisfied with simply cutting the wire, but chopped it into inch pieces with their tomahawks to effectually stop the mysterious messages. As the train came near a large patch ?f sunflow? ers, which grew on both sides of tho track, over one hundred Indians rose up, stretched a strong rope across tho track, braced themselves and prepared to receive the' ?hock of the locomotive. As was afterwards learned, they had taken rawhide strips, braided them to? gether, and, with & force of fifty at each end of the rope, thought they would be able to atop tbe train, Tbe Instant the locomotive struck the rope the air was full of Indians.. They were thrown in all direotlona. Some were jerked clear across the train, and more than a dozen were killed or seriously injured. This was the last attempt made for years to stop the trains." ? In the search for phoaphatep, many discoveries have been made which have added materially to the wealth of Flori? da, but probably the moat interesting one is the find of a deposit of genuine meerschaum.

Bradley, who was the first pa? tient in this country to receive lymph in? oculation, died to-day, and'a son of Prof. Blake, another Jymph patient, who bad been under treatment for nearly two months, is at the point of death. Bradley wa3 a man but littio over 30 years of age, and was not in an advanced Btage of consumption when he began re? ceiving the treatment.' Previously he was not confined to tho house, but during his treatment he had been. During the past few weeks he Buffered intensely, sb the treatment had a distressing effect upon his thronc, making it difficult and ex? tremely painful for him to take any nour-1 ishment. His physicians state that his death was undoubtedly hastened by the condition of his throat as his strength disappeared very fast because of his ina? bility to take food. He had been receiving the injeotions since very early in Decem? ber. ? Daring the last year 350 medicines were patented. ??Of every million people in theVorld eight hundred are blind. ?
