The Hifih License Law.
The coming Ix-gislature may be compelled
to a.nend the High Lkvnse law very essen
tially if the Supreme Court shall decide, as
exjsvted, that the act dividing the cities of
the State into seven classes is unconstitu
tional. It is said that that the Court will
decide that there can be cities ot the first,
second and third classes only. This inter
pretation of the law would compel saloon
keejiers in all the cities of the State to pay a
$oi license fee. I'nder the present law
liquor dealers in all cities, except those of
the first, second and third classes, are requir
ed to pay only &Soo for a liivnse.
As it was never intended that dealers in
large and small cities should pay the same
license fees, there is a stmng sentiment
among the legislators in favor of grading the
licenses iu some proportion to the population
of cities.

Pleaded Hla Own Case.
; Sn.i I'txvit.t.E. O.. D.-eeinlier 7. The
! court r.ioni at Weilsburg to-day was the
1 sjsne of an event rarely witnessed. A year
! ao last May Mrs. Dnicilla MeWba ami Mrs.
Mlira Iktker were found brutally munlered
j in their home at Holliday s Cove. Professor
i Van Baker, son-in-law- of one and husband
of the other, w as indicted for the crime. He
I was first convicted and condemned to be
hanged, but on retrial was recommended to
j life imprisonment. Yesterday and to-day
were occupied iu heaiitig arguments ujioii a
J motion lo set aside the verdict. Suddenly,
i without consulting his counsel, the prisoner
arose and asked that be be allowed to eak
in bis own defense. Itakerdrcw a manuscript
of fifty closely written pages from bis pocket
and read therefrom what has lieen universal-
Iv pronounced the most !.,cal and conclu

ucated. lie eluuinateil tlie evulenee aUtluc-
I ed in his own defense completely from the
, cause, his argument being based upon the
im;ssibi;ity that such a crime could have
been committed within the time allowed by
tbe circumstantial tbeary of the prosecution.
At the conclusion of Itaker's apfsal Judge
Jacobs made the curious admission from the
j !enrli that the plea of the prisoner was very
convincing, but he could not be swayed by
ingenious argument. He therefore sentenced
Baker to tlie penitentiary foe life. Subse
quently a uienion of sentence was grant
ed for one hundred days that the case might
be carried to the Court of Appeals.

iUt next. The circiimstanoes leading to the
discovery of the cunterff iting are ai follows:
afternoon last July, a street cat conduc
tor was standing in frout of Xo. 8to North
Clark atreei, when a silver dollar fell at his
feet. He picked it up and had it in his band
long enough to discover that it was very hot ,
as if just taken off the fm. At that moment
a man came hurriedly out of tht lnae and
snatched the piece ot mrniey frm him. The
man ' manner was soex?:td that the con
ductor's suspicions wan: arr.jcteJ and be re-'
jwrted the incident to the police. Since that
time the house above mentioned has beeu
constantly under the aurreiUnce of iletec
tives. To-day V. 8. Inspector Porter de
termine.! to examine the place, whea it was
found that the building wa occupied by
William U. Ilanla 4 Uro- contractors and
plasterer. Nothing auspicious was discov
ered until the upper story was reached,
a lien William G. Hards was seen through
a small window, busily at work in his shirt
sleeve. The officers were readily admitleif,
when it was found that the room contained
a most valuable and complete counterfeiters'
plant including electrical batteriia for silver
ing coin heavy iron presses for stamping
crucibles, elaborate milling and smoothing
machines, and large quantities of metals
used in filling, an outfit declared by the de
tectives to be the most complete they bad
ever seen. Hards had been counterfeiting
stiver dollars, and the work turned out wa
o nearly erfect in appearance, weight and
ring that the inspector himself could not de
lect the difference between the counterfeit
and genuine coins. Seventy counterfeit dol
lars were found in the room.
A Rivar Horror.
Metritis, TiNJt., Die. 1'L The elegant
passenger steamer Kate Adams, running ait
a semi-weekly packet between Memphis and
ArkansasCity, was burned this morning near
Commerce, Mississippi, 40 miles south of
this city. She was en route to Memphis, and
bad about two hundred people aboard, in
cluding her deck and cabin crew of1, and
i" cabin aud tiO deck passengers, and 2" col
ored cabin passengers.
The (lire which caught in some cotton
near the forward etio. of the ttoat, was dis
covered alsiut S o'clock. Tlia passengers
were at breakfast, and when the alarm was
given they all made a rush for the forward
de-k. At the time the steamer was about
.'Mi yanis from the Mississippi side of the
river, and her bow was at once headed for
the shore. Pilot J. Ilartoii was on watch,
and he remained heroically at his post until
she was safely landed.
There were about 25 colored cabin passen
gers who were saved along with the white
passengers. On the lower deck, however, a
fearful panic seized the crew and deck pas
sengers. Those who were cut off from escaie
from the bow were compelled to jump over
board to save their lives. The stern of the
burning steamer had swum: out into the riv
er, and an effort was made to launch the
i yawl. It was canized by the crowd which
filled it. and many of its occupants drow n
ed. They were mostly colored men. but there
were three or four women in the crowd.
Nine of the crew were drowned, and fif
teen deck passengers, four of whom were
white men. and three colored women and
two children on their way to Memphis to
Siend the holidays.
The burning steamer drfted awaw. after
lying at the bank for - ) minutes, and Moated
down the river, her hull sinking at the bead
of Peter's Island, four miles below Com
eerce. An Unfortunate Shot.
DoYi.F.Towir Doc. 27. A serious shooting
atTair, likely to result in d -Kll. occurred at
Cpper Black's Kldy, Ducks county, on
Christmas night. The victim is Aaron Wis
tner. of Nockaniixoii, the same county, and
the man who did the shooting is William
Thompson, aged IU years, living in Milford,
V. J.. just across the river from the scene of
the fracas.
The particulars of the affair are to the ef
fect that Thompson was paying bis addresses
to a young lady living at El ly ; that his
visits excited the jealousy of several admirers
of the la.lv who were not admired by her in
return, and that they had frequently threat
ened to make Thompson's visits to the place
unpleasant in order to compel him to abm-
.I,,,.!,:..,,:. i
'fhompson knew of these threats, and on
Christmas night, fearing an attack would be
made tijioii him. he went arni"d with a re
volver. Crossing the river, be railed on the
young lady aud escorted her to church.
While returning to her home after the exer
cise an attack was made on Thompson by
several of the young men who had threaten
ed him. Thompson drew his pistol and
tired three or four shots with j-.U any known
effect.
Wismer went behind Thompson and threw
bis arms around him in an attempt to dis
arm him. Wismer was a friend of Thomp
son's, but the latter is thought not to have
known who was holding him. and one of I
bis arms being free, be piinted the revolver
over his shoulder and tired, the ball enter
ing Wismer's breast. This afternoon Wis
mer was still alive, but. it is said, with slight
ehanee for recovery, the wound affecting a
vital part. Thompson was arrested yestcr
and brought to the county jail here to await
the result of Wismer's injuries. ,

WismxoTos:, December 27. La Liberdad.
the little craft wliich left Ilio Janeiro lat
July with Captain Joshua Slocum. wife and
two sous on board, arrived here to-day. Cap

Liberdad, which is enly 3-3 feet long, 7 J feet
beam and 3 feet deep, to bring him North.
A canvas -covered deck-house was all that
protected the passengers from the weather.
They sailed from Rio Janeiro on July 24. and
on the voyage stoped at Rabia, Pernambuco
aud several other ports. The family are well
and hearty, and appejr none the worse for
the dangerous trip. The boat is a frail look
ing stru.ture, the bulwark being nut over
eighteen inches above the water, but has
weathered some heavy seas iu the tropics and
laid-to in the teeth of several hurricanes.
Captain Slocum and his family will winter
here.
A Hall Floor Falls.
Yock Pa , Pec, ii. A terrible accident
occurred last eveninj in the village of Kist
Prospect, this county. The band of that
place were holding a festival in Haines" hill

which about 3.XI persons had gatherel.
About H :i o'clock the floor gave way, falling
to the first floor, forming in V shape, and
piling the assemblage in a heap. A stove
set fire to the building, but fortunately it
was extinguished before doing much damage.
Many broken limbs, bruises sprains and
burns were the result, about thirty suffer

scouts under Lieutant MoOomb have visite-l
Oklahoma Station and arrested all in that
vicinity, compelling them to hitch up
their wagons and take everything with
them and to to the scouts' camp. The
scouts disarmed the settlers and drove them
like so many hogs. Many arrested ha 1 been
engaged in teaming for the Government,
others had been railroad employes who were
temporarily out of work and who had ex
pected work soon. The people of Purcell are
very indignant, supposing it to be a scheme
to capture the town site.' Some of those who
have authority at the station bare small
houses built on runners.

Farmers' Associations.
Kiutor Htu. i.ii : I wish through your
P'i?r to say a few words ou the subject of
Farmers' Association. Men of other trades
anil callings Mx'iu to understand the necessity
of organized effort in their various lines of
activity and as a result they have their
Associations by which they are brought to
gether iH-riodically for mutual aid and coun
sel. The iieople all over this county are
now looking forward to the annual meeting of
theTeacbers Institute. Ourvarious religious
denominations have their conventions where
topics relating lo the efliciency of their work
are discussed, and it is right that Ihey shouhl
have them. All our arts and industries have
their organizations through which they
arrange their meetings and devise their
plan Or m iking their respective vocations
as productive as possible of the best returns
for the amount of money and labor tbey
exp.nd. The wisdom of such a course must
be apparent to anyone who gives the sub
ject any thought.
Then why should not fanners lie as ready
to avail themselves of the advantages to lie
derived from such associations as any other
class of men 1 Nearly o:ie half of the entire
population of our country is made up of
farmers. Their occupation is the basis of
all other pursuits an 1 up jn their s::-,vo de

of protection against all the imp witions that
are in so many ways attempted to Is' practic
ed upon us and also as a means of exalting
our calling into the dignity of a business
that is unsurpassed by either trade or pro
fession. I.-4 us hop'j to bear from others on this
subject, aud what is better, let us bopa that
in every township in our count this matter
will be taken np and Farmers' Club, or
Farmers' Associations under some name
may be organized.

The Hi o iLIyn rinva, Ki-li. 31!;.
A large and plensed audience greeted the
first iierformauee of Unfits Heo'.t's new and
exciting melodrama, "Tufowii upon the
World,'' and in winch he also essuys the
principal role. It is an interesting play,
holding the attention from the ogi'iiing lo
the close: founded upon Charles tirade's
iow erfiil novel. "It is never too late to Mend."
The ideas of that author have been vividly
deliniatcd iu this theatrical production ;
much of tiie language of the romance is
adopttsl bjldly. while all the main facts are
pre-cnt.-d in dramatic form and with added
humor; this in a certain sense, assisting by
taking olf the harshness of the original lines.
It was placed Uin the stage in excellent
shajie last night, the scenery being especially
painted for the play. It is divided into four
acts, the first representing, off for Austmlia.
Act second, death of Jiwphs the Convict's
curse. Act thud, theescapt; with the nug
get. Act fou 1h, home again; the opening ;
the farewell and embarkation arc prettily
sustained: the stirring uad life like scenes
in the convict's prison where the brutal
otli.vrs inflict severe and undeserved punish
ment oil the px.r inmates, aud who, even
when they are ill. tie them 'up and abuse
them under tin- excuse, " He's only sham
ming." The Convict's battle and powerIii
assault; all were received with applause
while the splendid Allegorical Tableaux of
the boy Josephs joining his mother
in heaven was a biautilul effort and very af
fecting. The wild Australian iu the dig
gings was uiii.jtie. An amusement to the
rough miners when the old time sign on the
cabin was : " We first tire, then impure," a
warning against intruders. The acting of
Rufus Scott as the hero was full of vim and
energy, and he was heartily applauded. The
company is a giod one.
