Philadelphia Grocers Opposed to tlie Conger Compound Lard Hill. A well-attended meeting of the Grocers and Importers’ Exchange of ’hlludelphia was held for the purpose of protesting against the passage hy the Senate of the Conger lard 1)111. Two s.*ts of resolutions protesting against the hill, both nearly identical in their import, weru presented to the meeting. One of the resolutions asked of Congress the passage of a general food bill, but it wns.rejoctod by the meeting and the following agreed to: To the Hon. A. S. Paddock, Chairman Agricultural Committee, United States Senate: The Grocers and Importers’ Ext h inge of the city of Philadelphia most respectfully ask your honorable body to take into consideration their protest against the passage of the bill H. It. 11508, known as the Conger lard bill. While we are desirous of having laws regulating the sale of all compound articles used as food, the provisions of this bill are such that It legislates iu favor of one article of food against another. The restrictions placed lu this bill on all products in the least degree resembling lard are equal to a prohibition of their manufacture and sale. We consider cotton-seed oil wholesome and valuable as food. Wo are opposed to any legislation that favors one article of food at the expense of another. LAND FOR THE CHILDREN. It Fays to Have a Big Family in the Queen’s American Dominions. The papers recently gave the number of families in the province of Quebec tlieu entitled to the hundred acres of Crown land which the Quebec Government presented to every family comprising a dozen or more children. The .list is now complete, and it appears that no fewer than 1,090 heads of families have sent in certificates to the effect that they have at least twelve children, and will consequently enter Into possession of not less than 100,0J0 acres of the provincial domain. The thousand families represent a population of 15,000, and some of the claims sent to the department at Quebec show that several families are composed of twenty-two living children, and others of fourteen, sixteen, and twenty. The heads of families themselves will not take up this land, which is for the most part located in the Lake St. John district, but the lots will probably be given to younger members possessing agricultural tastes.

Evidence of a Mysterious Crime. The evidence of what is probably a terrible crime has been discovered In a mutilated body lying i.i the woods a half-mile south of Cliff Cave, on the Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad In Missouri. Every vestige of flesh had disappeared. There was a small hole in the skull just above the right eye. Under the right arm there was a crutch in the left hand was a cane. Monument to hr. Morris. The monument of Dr. Robert Morris, the eminent poet laureate of Masonry, has been formally unveiled at La Grange. Ky. The members of the Grand Lodge were present in full force. The celebrated lie Molay Commandery, No. «, Knights Templars, and Louisville Commandery acted as escort to the Grand Lodge, and Past Grand Master Hiram Bassett was the presiding officer. Murdered by a Rejected Lover. Miss Mamie Joseph, daughter of Bernard Joseph, a prominent merchant of St. Augustine, Fla., was murdered by Alexander Campbell, her rejected lover. He went to her house determined to kill her at first sight. He says he-expects to hang,” and seems indifferent to his fate. An extra guard is at the jail to prevent lynching. Fatal End of an Old Feud. W. Johnston of Camden, Mo., was shot and killed by John Tucker. Tucker married Johnston's daughter and deserted her. Johnston swore vengeance. When the two met in the night they were both armed. Tucker got in the first shot, which took effect in Johnston’s side, producing almost instant death. An Original Package Case.
