Wabash (Ind.) special: Last April unknown parties made an attempt to blow up the saw-mill owned by John Blackburn, in Pulton County, a large stick of dynamite being placed in the fire-box, where it exploded. The mill was damaged about $500, but the breaks were repaired. No further trouble developed until last week, when Mr. Blackburn found a half-pound stick of dynamite in one ot the flues of the boiler. It was removed without harm. The other night Lewis Bowman, watchman, overheard persons talking on the inside of the mill and he closed the door, hoping to retain them as prisoners. Their strength was superior to his, and they forced open the door and escaped, firing at Bowman, who received a ouilet tnroua tne arm. The scoundrels are believed to have been there for the purpose of again wrecKing tne mill. Mr. Hlackourn has no clue to their identity. ! Tired of the Practice.

AU. EUROPE CHILLED,

Xioweat Temperature Known In Fifty Year. London advices say the savore cold con tinues throughout Great Britain, in many places the thermometer registering the k west point known, while the lowest re ported temperature is 5 to 10 above, It In volves as much aafforlng us Would a temperature 30 degrees below serd In the Halted States, The people are entirely uiprepared . for such a terrible cold wave, and the result la that the suffering anong the poor Is intense. Many cajes of death from exposure are already ported and outdoor work has been en tirely suspended. At Dover the mercury registered 10 degrees above xero, and in South Devonshire 12 degrees above tero Is reported. The river Dart and the tidal streams are frozon soli 1. A heavy snow storm prevailed. In Lincolnshire two men wnre found frozen to death and many of the roads are covered with snow drifts ten feet high. Ia several parts of England railroad trains hnvo been imbedded in the snow for houra, and on the Isle of Wight tho weather Is reported to be the coldest of the century. The ri'er Yar is frozen from its source to within a few yards of the sea. The cliffs of Cornwall are hung with Icicles of an in niene size, and pools of salt water have been frozen at the edge of the sen. Reports received from Spain show that the must IntODSO cold also i revolts there. At Zcrita the thermometer registered 10 degrees above zoro, and at Bnrgos several people were frozen to death. At Moscow 26 degrees below zero was registered, at Nljni Novgorod the thermometer registered 34 below, and 13 degrees below was reported at Kharkov. GOES OUT IN FLAMES. Tremendou Conflagration at the World's Fair Grounds. la a fierce whirlwind of name that for a time threatened to destroy all the huge buildings that graced the World's Fair, the mujlc hull and casino, with the connecting arches of the peristyle and the huge manufactures and liberal arts building, were burned Monday night For a time it seemed as if it rould be impossible to save the Mines, Horticulture or Agriculture Buildings, an 3 it was only by desperate efforts of the firemen that the names were cheeked, As it was, they were not subdued until damage aggregating over 11,000,000 had been done. The life of one fireman was also sacrificed and one fireman, one employo of the French section of the Horticultural Building and a teamster were injured. The blaze is believed to have been started by tramps, camping out In one of the buildings, who lighted kindllag to keep warm. Roughly estimated, wh-n the breathing spell cams, it is claimed that the loss on buildings will reach about 1800,000, while tho estimate of losses on the exhibits can not be accurately formod nntil the cases containing the stored goods can be exam ined. The lines of insurance carried are varied. Vast quantities of exhibits were carried out, but hundreds ot thousands of dollars' worth burned. MAY HATE PRISONERS. Mysteroos Action of the Cutter Corwln, from Honolulu. Saturday morning's dispatches told ot the arrival of the tevenue cutter Corwln off San Francisco from Honolulu, but what Information her officers brought Is abso lutely conjecture only. Her commander did not land at San Francisco, but steamed away to Mare Island nary yard. As soon as he could report by wire to Washington, a dispatch was received from that city by the commander of the Mohican, which was followed by a great bustle on that vessel and preparations for Instant departure. The Cor win's officers were silent as the grave. But it is surmised that tho gravest condition exists at Honolulu It Is even hinted that there has been collision between United States and provisional government forces, with bloodshed, and that the Corwin's commander has on board prisoners. No one was allowed to board her, and for several hours telegrams flew thick and fast to and from Washington. In an Electric GlareMore startling than any of the almost numberless sensations which have characterized the trial of the alleged living murderer of Dr. Patrick Henry Cronln were the developments of Friday. The climax wll. be reached when the prosecution will have on the stand a witness who will swear to iacts that will have more effect upon the Jury's decision, probably, than any testimony that has been taken yet. The new witness is a stationary engineer well known in the West His name is Frank A Bardeen, ot Otsego, Mich, He will tell the Jury that in the early morning of May 5, 1880, he turned a searchlight upon an approaching wagon in the vicinity of the Edgewater electric-light plaat The rays from the brilliant reSector disclosed Daniel Cooghlin walking bes de the wagon that contained the trunk a hlch at that tlmo held the mutilated remains ot the murdered Doctor, This )s the first direct testimony that affects Cor.gb.lln as being in the actual company of t he corpse. Fnrehases a Furniture Factory. Willard Zarnhart purchased the Nelson, Hatter & Co property at Grand Rapids, Mich , which was bid in at auction sale by the banks for $140,000, the same price paid for It by the banks. He has not perfected plans for the future, but announces that he will start the factory as soon as possible manufacturing furniture. It is probable a new company will be organized to carry on the business with ample capital and new blood. Gagged the marshal. At 1 o'clock Friday morning three marked men bound and gagged the Delavoo, Wis., Tillago Marshal, G Sage, and then blew open the postofflce safe, taking tWX, mostly in stamps. They then went to Hoi I later Calkins' livery, ordered a double rig, bound and gauged the stable mat;, and drove south. The Marshal and stableman were found and liberated in the morning. The rig was found four miles from town. Fatally Hurt by a Train. A sleigh containing Donald Cameron, of Locblel, bis daughter and Miss Annie Young, of Montreal, while crossing the Car ada Atlantic Railway track near Alexandria, Ont, was struck by an east-bound express. Cameron was fatally injured. The woman escaped without Injury. German Empire Makes Gifts.

SMUGGLING I'LOT IN 'FRISCO, Three Men Arrested and Many Customs Officials Said to Be Implicated, The recent expose of smuggling at Portland, which implicated somo of tho United States Treasury's most prominent officials on the coast bids fair to bo equaled by an exposure of smuggling operations in San Francisco. Three men were arrested Monday night One Is Frederick Miller, a young law student; another Is George N, J. Wlchman, a wholesale candy manu facturer; and the third Is Lewis Grcouwald. Warrants nro out for the arrest of about a dozen others.

The Gover nor has recognized the nine hold-over Democrats in preference to the four hold-over and seven newly elected Republicans, and has sent his message to the former body after notifying the Republicans that he would have to consult counsel before finally deciding either to recognize or Ignore thorn. The Democrats, who have tho keys to both legislative chambers, are confident, while the Republicans are just as determined. The House refuses to recognize the mrsiago from the Democratic Senate and will here after not allow itself to Ire disturbed by officials from that body. The sergeant-at-arms has been Instructed to arrest the clerks of tho Democratic Senate if they persist In entering the assembly chara ber and making announcements. The Republican Senate bad to meet in tho Assembly chamber, The t'orgcant-nt arms ot the Democratic Senate had locked the chamber, up and carried the keys away. ALL QUIET IN HAW AIL Apparently No Ground for Rumors of Conflict. At lust, by way of steamer to Victoria and cable from the latter place, comes ap parently authentic news from Honolulu. Under date of Jan. 1, the dispatches read: All is quiet in Hawaii Minister Willis and President Dole have exchanged com muuications and tho Minister, at a confer ence with the leaders of the Provisional Government presented a letter from exQueen Llliuokalanl, promising if restored as constitutional monarch to abide by the constitution that existed at the time of the overthrow and to grant full amnesty to natives and foreigners that took part In tho revolution. Minister Willis then demanded that the Provisional Government established with the assistance of the late Minister of the United States, surrender to the Queen, permitting things to run as they were before the revolution. President Dole refused absolutely to con sider this demand. SULLIVAN KNOCKED OUT. His Wife Disciplines Him with an Indian Club.

She expected him to guard, but he was too drunk to do it He took the full force of the blow on his head and collapsed. SAT PEIXOTO IS OUT. Report Current that Brazil's President Has Resigned, A dispatch received at Paris from KIo Janeiro says that President 1'elxoto, ot Brazil, has resigned.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WILSON TARIFF BILL AND jUz PROPOSED BOND ISSUE, Chief Toplrs at the National CapitalFree Silver People Against Bonds It Is Believed the Wilson 11111 Will Become a . Law. Bones of Contention, Washington correspondence: f I HE t wo chief topics ol discussion at the capital are the Wilson tariff bill and tho proposed bond issue. Tho free silver people are decidedly agitinst any issue of bonds, taking the position that all that is needed is n plentiful coinago o' the white met;, and its use us wi,...,i.in,iu money. The 1 exas -delegation will be solidly against aliy 1 " ' Representative Mexminn, oi Tennessee, believes a measure should at once b1 pasfod providing for the use of tho Eeignior(igo of the silver bullion. This would afford temporary relief, he thinks, and possibly obviate the necessity of issuing bonds. It has been asserted that until the silver bullion now in the 1 roasury is ooinod there can be no seigniorage, but tho men who favor its use argue that when it is known the bullion will coin fifty million dollars more than was paid for it there can bo no reason for hesitating about it. They do not bolievo it necessary to coin the seigniorage, but that certificates may be issued against it. The Wilson Bill. As to the Wilson tariff hili, the gen eral opinion is that it-will pull through in some shape or other. Representative Tarnsey, n member of tho Ways ana jueans i ommittee, who has just returned from his homo in Missouri, aya he found no one among his con stituents dissatisfied with the tariff bill. Representative Haves, of Iowa. says tho bill "vill become a law in time, and that all differences about it will be adjusted within tho party, so mat there will bo no fatal break over it. Representative Stevens, of Massachusetts, who is a member of tho Ways and Means Committeo, and an extensive woolen manufacturer, says tho bill will pass the House unchanired, and that whatever changes are made boforo the measure becomes a law will be raade in tho Senate. Representative Cousins of Iowa, on the other hand, viewing the situation from a Re publican standpoint, says that if all tho Democratic members of the House that he has hoard express themselves against tho bill actually vote as they talk now, the bill will oetainly be beaten in the House, to say nothing of the Senate, where its chances are at least doubtful. How ever, he says, it is pretty hard to get a .Democrat to met out of tho party traces, so you oannot just figure on re sults when Democratic Doltiug becomes an essential element in the calculation. Kouttne Proceeding. Slnea the reassembling of Congress after the holidays but little has been done. Fili bustering on tbo Hawaiian matter and the Wilson tariff bill has been tho rule in both houses. It has been almost Impossible to accomplish anything more than the confir mation of appointments. Tho Indications now arc that tho leaders or both parties. In both Senate and Iloiise, will unite itith tbo presiding officers in action, which will compel the transaction of business. In any event, exhaustive debates are certain to ensuo upon both questions mentioned above, and also the matter of bonds. In tho Senate Monday Senator Hoar's resolution of Inquiry into Mr. Blount's compensation was referred after a hot dis cussion. Among the nominations sent to the Senate was that of J. MB. Sill, of Michigan, to be Minister and Consul General to Corea. An adverse report on the' nomination of Hornblower for tho Sui rente bench was agreed to by the Senate Committee. The tariff bill was takeL up in the house, the Democrats having mustered a quorum. Mr. Wilson made a speech in Its favor. Chicago members of Congress agreed to push the McOann bill for tho construction of a new public building at Chicago. Socretary Carlisle urged on the Ways and Means Committee the necessity of a loan to supply the freasnry's needs. Debate on the tariff bill was continued in the Eousoon Tuesday. Congressmen Wilson, Burrowsnnd Black wre among the ceakre. The 1-euoral elections bill was taken up In tho Senate. It will soon becomo unfinished business and will be pushed to a vote. In the House, Wednesday, Mr. Boutelle Ron.), ot Maine, again precipitated a heated discussion in regard to his Ha waiian resolution. Then Mr- nopklnstBep ), of Illinois, took the floor to conclude his ipeoch on tho tariff bill begun Thursday. Mr. Cumiulngs (Dem.). of New York, from the Naval Committee, reported the Boutelle resolution calling on the Secretary of the Navy for information on Hawaiian matters and as to his uthority for delegating to Coinmlslonor Blount control of the united States naval forces. The resolution was reported back with an amendment asking for in formation in the Navy Department from March i, 1802, Instead of 189a. Mr. ciimmlngs asKeu ror its Immediate consideration. As this reHiilred unanimous consent, Mr. Dockery (Democrat), ot siissoun, ooJectcd. Mr. Cummlngs then asked that the resolution lie on the speaker's table without losing its privileges, and this was ordered Debate on tho tariff was continued. 'onaressman Tom I- Johnson character ized the bill as a protection measure. In the Senate a resolution by Senator Peffer as to the inadequacy of the force in the office of the supervising architect of the treasury to prepare drawings for new public buildings was laid boforo the benato In tne morning hour, and was the subject ot a atscusslou. In sneaking on the Frye resolution declaring against Interference In Hawaiian affairs. Senator Davis condemned Blount's course. Overflow of News. E. H.

James Dtxian, arrested on suspicion at St. Louis, proves to be one of threo men who killed a man in Hennepin County, Minn. R J. Hosper. accused of poisoning his wife, has been placed on trial at Joliette, Que. I he case is complex and ensational.

Ashcom, who had been smoking for sixty years, tried No-to-bae. and it cured him. Col. Samuel Stoutener. who would eat up tobacco like a cow eats hay, tried this wonderful remedy, and even Samuel, after all his years of slavery, lost the denire. J. C. Cobler, Lessing Evans, Prank I Jell, Geo. I. May, C. O. Skillingt-. tt, Hanson llnbinett, Frank Hershberger, John Shinu and othors have since tried Nn-to-liae and in every ease they report not only a euro of tho toliac nhabit, but a wonderful improvement in their general physical and mental condition, all of which goes to show that the u o of tobacco had boon injurious to them in more ways than 01:0. All of the above rcntlemon are so well pleased with the r; stilts that wo do not hesitate to join them in recommending It to sull'ering humanity, aWo have thoroughly investigated and are satisfied that No to-hue dees the work well and Is a bo n to munkind.

From The Press, Everett, Pa., Dec. 15, 1SU3. Archaic and Other Knglish. "Meechlng" (sly, sneaking, or under hand,) is a true arcnaisin of respectable lineage. It is clearly delitied in the Uiglow Papers: But I ain't one of the mecchiu' kind that sets and thinks for weeks The bottom's out o' the Universe 'cos their own glllpot leak 6, and is very old English. Hamlet calls the murderer in the dumb-show "miching mallecho," and the other Elizabethans use it, too. and all with one vague connotation of illicit lovemaking: Sai-e Bho has Borne meeehing rascal in ber houre. Beaumont and Fletcher, "Scornful Lady," V. 1. It is interesting to Eote, however, that this special connotation was not "classical," and has not been preserved in the American use. The word is the middle English"mlchen," which has simply the sense of secret or underhand, and is so used in the "Romaunt of the Rose." Mr. Skeat connects it intimately with Hamlet's 'hugger-mugger," (secret,) and with the still vexed ' curmudgeon." Such words as these are for all practical purposes Americanisms now, and are best classed and delined; therewith: and so long as in the glossaries a proper note is kept of their original habitat no harm is done, especially as tbe words which have so clear an ancestry as "meeehing" are not numerous. If we reject them, we must reject also such characteristic words as "boss," (Dutch, "bass,") 'stoop " (doorstep; (Dutch, "stoep,") "portage," (French,) "bankit," (foot pavement; French, "banquette,") "Vamoose" and raosey," (go away; (Span sh, "vamos.") Carry it far enough, and we! shall have hardly anything left but' neologisms. The Gentlemen's Maga-: dine. Trapping a Criminal. Two brothers, Cucchi byname, vil lains of the deepest dye, found the neighborhood of Ajaccio too hot to. hold them, and resolved to take refuge in Sartene. They found a small boat upon the ! -cacti, and desired the owner to put out to sea. Impossible," said the man, "the boat is too small for such a voyage, ' and would certainly founder." "Do as you are bid," said the Cuc chi, covering him with their guns. Under these circumstances, the boatman had no alternative; so he zot in, and they pushed out to sea. ' But tho waves were high, and, by a little dexterous management, he contrived to make bis boat rock in such a fashion that the bandits became violently sick. "You see I was right," he coolly remarked, when his passengers seemed sufficiently reduced; "you will certainly be drowned if we go on thus, i ou had much better let me put you ashore, and go back for a stronger and better boat" "so be it.-' gasped tho bandits. "Oh, anything is 1 etter than this!" They were put on shore, and in due time the boatman returned with a larger boat, but at the bottom of it lay four gendarmes disguised as sailors, and tbe brothers Cucchi were taken before they had time to dls-' cover the trick.

AND "" 1 StomaehLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced Into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of tho Great South American' Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its gr"".t curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strengthener of the life forces of the human body, and asi a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this', continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to uso this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year. IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

Summer Complaint of Inf-ntn. All these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic. NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervou3 exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must Biipply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessaiy to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous derangement.
