The subject of Rev. W. H. Swift's
discourse on Sunday evening was the
"Manuscripts of the ISIble." and It was
received by a large and attentive audi
ence. He was a tramp, as lie wandered
down Front street. He saw some
skates hanging In front of a business
place. He leached out and took a pair,
threw them over his shoulder, then
walked boldly into the store and asked
the proprietor of he sold skate straps.
He was informed that they did not.
lie then walked out of the store, with
the skates still on his shoulder. The
proprietor had his suspicion aroused,
und a little later investigated and found
that his skates had disappeared with
the tramp. Nothing remained for the
proprietor but to kick himself.
Much excitement was caused by a
innaway horso from up the Dyberry
that came dashing- down Front street,
dragging a cuter behind It. In front
of Mr. Mayo's harness store It took to
the sidewalk, tearing a post from the
store porch. It continued its mad
Jllght down the sidewalk for two blocks,
when it took to the street. Hreaklng
off u stone lie-post on the next block,
It again turned to the sidewalk. In
doing so It came In collision with a
large telegraph pole, where it left the
cutter a total wreck. The horse con
tinued down the sidewalk some length
further, when it was caught. At the
time the street was tilled with school
children and others, who tied In all di
rections, but no one was injured. The
horse was slightly cut and bruised.

L11SI2RIA A PLAGUE SPOT.
frightful Kpj rienco ot American
Negroes V ho Went There.
From tho London Mall.
There have just arrived in Liverpool
from Llbeila, eight colored persons,
citizens of the United States and for
merly would-be citizens of the Liberian
republic. They told a fearful story of
their distress to a Dally Mall represen
tative. Seventeen months ago these
poor people, whose names are G. F.
Farmer and wife and Otley Waite and
five children, were temitd to sell
all In America and proceed to the dark
African republic, which was pictured
to them as a land flowing with milk and
honey. In company with 315 others
they left Savannah In the American
schooner Labrador. On their arrival at
Liberia they soon found that It was no
Canaan. Nevertheless they resolved to
make tho best of It, and that proved
very bad Indeed.
Of the 315 few are now alive. The
Liberian government, indeed, granted
the Immigrants land, but nothing could
be done with it. The land wns n lint.
bed of fever and it was dangerous to
live on it before one was "salted."
Walte tried to cultivate a portion of it
eighteen miles from where his family
lived. He was afraid to take them "to
his holding, as the number of aband
oned huts round about warned him of
the deadllness of the place.
The Immigration agents represented
In their circulars that Liberia was the
home of the negroes and all were In
vited to come home. Gold and dia
monds were said to be as common as
stones In America. "Rut," said Walte,
with a tinge of sarcasm, "I have never
seen one since I have been there; I
have been looking mighty hard for
one."
Out of the 315 who went with him In
tho Labrador ninety-three died within
six months. He then lost count, but
he Is now of the opinion that quite half
of those who went In the ship are dead.
All who could went back to America,
but these were few.
They had all made up their minds on
board the ship to stay together and
form one settlement In Liberia, but this
the government ofllclals would not al
low. Walte said they were told openly
that the Llberians were afraid If they
settled in the nlace thev wnnl.l lionnmn
too powerful nnd take tho government
from the Liberian subjects.
In America they were told the Liber
ian soil could grow anything, but they
could only grow cassavd, potatoes and
coffee, and as coffee took six years to
bear the emigrants could not wait. The
climate, however, was terrible to the
newcomers. Tho cry was general
among all the emigrants to get back
to their homes In the states. According
to Walte's statement there were at
present at least 500 colored Americans
In Liberia who were longing to leave
that country and were prevented doing
so solely on account of having no
funds.
Both Walte nnd Farmer say If they
can get back to America they will take
care that no more negroes emigrate
to Liberia. At present they are Uestl
tute and unless help Is forthcoming
they will not achieve their desire.

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Strcot Itnview.
New York, Jan. 24. There was noth
ing particularly Interesting In today's
stock market previous to the reception
of the news that the United States
ship Maine had been ordered to pro
ceed to Havana. Until that time the
market va& wholly in tho hands of pro
fessional traders and transactions were
on a smnll scale. The news was re
garded with skepticism at llrst and tho
market held steady for a time, but up
on tho publication of the Associated
Press accredited report liquidation
promptly set In. The offerings were
not on a tremendously heavy scale, but
the demand was light and prices fell
fast. The specialties which had been
marked up In the morning and some
of the railroad stocks which have
shown the great strength recently suf
fered the heaviest losses on a rush to
take profits. The attitude of the au
thorities at Washington in attaching
as little significance as possible to the
proposed movement of the Maine had
little effect In allaying the bearish
tendency In the market. With the ex
ception of some sharp rallies in the
local New York group the market
closed weak and near the lowest. The
total sales were 400,200 shares.

Prince Albert, of Monaco, maintains
himself, h'ls police, law courts, bishop,
clergy, educational Institutions, wash
house nnd baths (State), all out of the
proceeds of the Monte Carlo gambling
casino. Hut, like Oliver Twist, he asks
for more. Tho Casino is of course a
public compnny, with shareholders big
and little. In 18G3 Prince Charles, of
Monaco, made cttaln concessions to
the company, and for some time his
successor, Prince Albert, was satisfied
with tha old terms. Hut he is uu
longer satisfied with them, though for
the season of JS9G-97, the maintenance
of Prince and principality accounts for
$030,000 in the expenses of the company,
the sum being made up In the follow
ing manner:
To prince for concession J250.000
Additional grant for body guard,
police, law courts and govern
ment 100,000
