TnE Premdent hassentanother veto
message to Congress. This time it is
the Army biii he disapproves. He gives
as his principal objection to the meas
ure that it would prevent the use of the
army for almost any purpose for which
it has heretofore 1een used in quelling
insurrection or disturbing of the public
peace, and is dangerous recognition of
State right.
Pay of Auditors and Commissioners.
Harkisbtjko, May 13. The bill pro
viding that theeowpensation of auditors
and commissortere appointed by the
court to audit the accounts of adminis
trators, executors, etc., to make distri
bution of the proceeds of sheriffs' or
assignees' sales, shall not exceed ten
dollars for each day necessarily engaged,
unless the court, for -special reasons
shown,' should allow a higher rate, not
to exceed fifteen dollars per day, has
passed ths Senate finally, and goes to
the Governor.
Judge Hughes' decision in the mls
cegenatton case at Kieluuond, Virginia,
is too important to be lightly passed
over. It was claimed by counsel for the
petitioner that marriage was a civil con
tract, and that the rights of a citizen in
one State could not be abridged by anoth
er State. Judge Hughes did not decide
the main question, but threw the case
out of court, on the ground that the
United States courts had no jurisdiction
in questions of marriage. If this is so,
citizens of the United States who live
unmolested in one State of the Union
and have broken no State or national
law, may be liable, as soon as they en
ter the boundaries of another State, to
arrest and imprisonment.
The Warner Silver Bill.
A Washington special says the War
ner silver bill, now before the House,
proposes in effect to make the govern
ment buy all the silver, American or
foreign, offered to it by private owners,
issuing certificates therefor good for
duties and taxes. It is positively assert
ed that the President will veto it if it is
passed, and the best interests of the
country demand that he should.
Important Treasury Notice.
Washington, May 13. The follow
ing notice has been issued by the treas
urer of the United States : Fragments
of national bank notes redeemed by
banks of issue for less than their face
value will be accepted by the treasurer
only when their va) uation is equal to
the face value of a note of same denom
ination issued by the bank or some mul
tiple thereof. The required valuation
may, however, be made up of several
fragments of notes of same or different
denominations. In no other case can
such fragments be disposed of under the
comptroller of the currency requiring
the National bank notes to be delivered
to him for destruction in sums of even
hundreds of dollars. The accumulation
In his hands of fragments of which he
is unable to dispose of compels the
treasurer to adopt this rule.
The Demand for Ten Dollar Certificates.
The following was issued this after
noon by the treasury department : The
demand for the $10 refunding certificates
has been so great that notwithstanding
every effort of the bureau of engraving
and printing, the supply of certificates
does not equal the demand for them. At
present the bureau is delivering them at
the rate of $800,000 per diem. By Thurs
day the delivery will reach about $1,000,
000 per diem, and by the first of next
week two millions per diem. Certificates
will be distributed in proper proportion
among the different officers authorized
to sell them, to be sold strictly and only
upon the terms stated in the circular of
April 28. The whole amount authorized
is about $10,000,000, and no more than
that amount can or will be issued.
About $13,000,000 have already been
sold.
The Pocasset Tragedy.
New York, May 14. A Barnstable
dispatch nays : Edith Freeman's moth
er is weeping and starving herself to
death. Since the first Sunday after the
killing of Edith she has been weeping
day and night. She has tried to eat, be
lieving that it was her duty to do so, but
in the ten days of her imprisonment, she
has eaten less than would make an
ordinary meal.
Bold Dash for Liberty.
Wednesday night as the Evansvllle,
Terre Haute and Chicago railway train,
passing through Terre Haute, had
n eared Clinton, a desperate criminal,
named Johnson, alias "Bandy Mike,"
succeeded in making his escape by
boldly jumping from the train. Escort
ing the criminal were Sheriff Copeland,
of Fayette county, and several officers
of Terre Haute. Johnson, about mid
night, complained of being sick, and
asked the Sheriff's permission to stand
on the platform In order to obtain some
fresh air, which request was granted,
Sheriff Copeland accompanying the
prisoner.
The Sheriff and his prisoner, who was
supposed to be handcuffed, were quietly
standing on the platform enjoying the air
when suddenly Johnson dealt the Sheriff
a terrible blow on the head with a sharp
instrument, knocking him senseless
through the car door. JohnBon then
made a desperate leap from the car. The
night was as dark-as pitch, and the
train was at the time going at the rate
of thirty miles an hour. The train was
quickly stopped, and a search instituted
for the prisoner, but no trace of him
could be discovered. Johnson, alias
"Bandy Mike," is a desperate criminal,
who was held on a charge of murder
and other crimes, and was on his way
North for trial. His escape is conceded
to be one of the most daring ever
affected.
Better than a Watch Dog.
The Providence "Press" says: Mr.
Orin A. Wehoskey, who keeps a lock
smith shop at No. 200 Broad street, has
reason to congratulate himself for pos
sessing an animal whose Bervices,Fridiiy
night, was fully as valuable, if not more
so, than an ordinary watch dog. About
nine o'clock last evening, a would-be
thief stole around to a side window of
Mr. Wehoskey's, and effected an en
trance by forcing open the window
with a. "jimmy." As soon as he got
inBide, however, he met with a warm
reception, for the proprietor's owl.whlch
is generally at liberty during the night
time, seized upon the intruder, and there
was quite a tussle, until at length the
man succeeded in making his escape,
leaving his hat and the implements
used in opening the window.
When Mr. Wehoskey went to the
store this morning blood was found on
the floor, desk, near the window, and
other places, and the "jimmy" was
covered with blood. The owl's feather's
were bloody, as well as his claws, thus
showing the faithfulness with which he
had defended the property of his mas
ter's, who searched the store but found
nothing was missing.
Navigation Up the Delaware.
Delaware, N. J., May 0. The first
steamer that ever ploughed the waters of
the Delaware as high as this point pass
ed about 5 o'clock this afternoon. As
she went under the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Railroad bridge
cheers were given by a large crowd of
spectators and were answered by the
waving of the national colors on board
the boat. The vessel is a small side
wheeler, and is but sixty feet in length.
It is named the Kittanlng, will carry
about seventy-five passengers, and will
ply between the Delaware Water Gap
and Port Jervis, New York.
Free Fight at an Execution.
Augusta, Ga., May 10. After the
double execution yesterday in Columbia
county there was a serious affray between
the white citizens of McDuffie county
present at Appling to witness the execu
tion. Twenty-five pistol shots were
fired, and the following were wounded :
Jack Usry, shot in the abdomen mortal
ly ; Shade Hawes, in the hand and hip :
Cainy, wounded in the scalp ; Tug
Smith, a bystander.slightly in the hand.
The shooting is supposed to have been
the result of an old feud. '
Eels do Spawn.
. The Huntingdon " News" says : We
happened to be present on Friday last
when Major Nlghtwine was cleaning a
young eel at his cabin near the slab
dam. Upon opening it he discovered a
large quantity of eggs in the egg sack,
and although he is an experienced fish
erman and has cleaned hundred of eels,
this is the first time he ever noticed
that they had eggs. This fact may go
far towards solving the mooted question
whether eels spawn. From the large
number of eggs in this young eel we
are Inclined to believe that they do
spawn.
The U. S. Flag Never Carried.
As to the use of the U. S. flag in
Georgia, a friend writes us as follows :
" I have lived twelve years In Georgia,
and I never yet have seen the United
States flag carried by a white military
company ou any occasion, and it is not
now displayed anywhere except over na
tional institutions."

in order that the train might traverse the
country without being ditched. We are
inolincd to think that this last story is
told to "ditch" the persons who would
swallow it.
