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

'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

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

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.

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.

SEVERAL BRAVE FIREMEN KILLED. <?
jaT Jun,Pe<l a Hundred reeW Only to be
Dashed Into a Hell of ttre by a
falling Itower? 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.

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.' After the
fuueral the great concourse was fed at i
the home, of the murdered woman's la- !
ther, John H. Kisser, who lives near
by.

Crookston, Minn., July 12. ?
Baumberger, the Cando murderer' was
brought here by Sheriff Fadder, ot
Grand Forks, tonight, on the Northern
Pacific railway, to get him away from j
the mob, but on his arrival he learned
that the mob was still in pursuit and
would be over on the (Jreat Northern
which comes one hour later, *so he left j
on the same train. The party left
(?rand l4orks in a hack, but were j
picked up a few miles out of the city.
It is not known whither the murderer
is to be taken, but Bismark is the '
re{>orted destination. 1

I'ncle Sam's Tax on Fruit Hranriy
Washington, July 14.? 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

Wlls-tn Thinks th? Tariff Will ?HJ Considered
it the blxtrH Session.
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.
