And Dr. Barker, the Oculist and Aurist, Leaves for His Home Office in Cincinnati. The Tisit of this celebrated specialist is fast drawing to a close. It has been aaiked by an unparalleled practice in affections of the eye, ear, nose and throat, adjusting spectacles and inserting artificial ejf f. Not only have the afflicted of the city taken an van tage of this nntiraled kill, but his success hai attracted a large number from throughout the Staie, almost every county being numbered among his patients. While his reputation has been made by the almost miraculous cures of the blind and deif he is eiaally aa successful in the treatment of the auctions of the NOSE AND THROAT. He says the exposed position of these organs make them subject to a yariety of diEcases which, if neglected or treated inccmpetently, are certain seedlings to lung Sections, which will ultimately kill, or at least shorten the golden hours of life, hence too much, importance cannot be attached to an early attention of any of their affections, no matter bow trivial it may at first appear. Among the Beriocs THROAT AFFECTIONS. Hay he mentioned, fungus sore throat, syphilitic sore throat, Laryngitis, I'horayngitia, Tonsilites, Bronchitis, Vlcerous, Paralyria of the vocal organs, tforgation of tee uyuia, cleft palate, hypotrophy and atrophy of the tonsils. etc., etc.. all of which are too serious to admit of anything less than exact constitutional and local treatment. Id the NOSE. may te fonEd ploypi (a foot), a tumor which occurs in the mucus membrane. It varies mnch in size, nnmber and mode of adhesion. Fibrous polypi are of compact texture, and do not degenerate into cancers. The scirrhous are true cancerous tumors, painful and bleeding. They occur at all ages, bat are more frequent In youcg adults. The growth manifests great tendencj fo extend'prclcn'at'ons into the sinuses of the nose and fuce; this is not only dangerous, bat produces a great deformity. OZENA. Is an ulcer on the nostrils that gives off a fetid smell. Tbe putrid matter is composed of a myriad parasites (worms). If neglected, or maltreated, the entire najil passage becomes eaten away and the system becomes impregnated with their poison. CATARRHH. "Which is so common in this changeable climate, rcives more attention tbaa any other aüection to which flesh is heir. The great fctumbliDg block in the way of a cure is false diasnosis. By some cot informed, 3 those who have an "iufallable cure," every a.'Iectinn of the nose and head are called catarrh. This is quite erroneous. While it is a disease of the mncons membrane, this membrane anatomically considered is the same as the cuticle or skin, and subject to a variety of. disease s which are quite a? troublesome as catarrh. Eeing hid in the deep, remote recesses, none bat the skilled specialist, who is supplied with all modern appliances, can Cleguose th-tm with the precision Bfeesfary to prescribe aline of treatment for each f peci&l case.

NEW YORK LETTER.

Uifleuut EüeoU of lha Recent Order of the Pcatmuter-Gener&L "A Babble of Dade General ShermanTheatrical Dianeri A Surgeon and Fashion in Surgery. Special Sentinel New Yoik Letter. Niw York, November 25, 1887. I fear that a recent order of the, Postoffice Department ia little understood by the newspapers of the country, or else there would be a clamor for its repeal. I poke to Mcrat Balstead, of the Cincinnati CommerclalGazette, concerning it and found he bad not heard of it, bat in etantly became suspicious that there waa some political intrigue possibly concealed in so stupid an erder. I refer to the one directing the charging of letter postage on papers, circulars, eta, on the wrappers or envelopes of which "improper printing" appears, and defining "improper printing" to be, not obscene, mind you. but any printed word or pen or pencil mark other than the address of the person to whom aent and the return address of the sender. If there appears, to illustrate, on the enYClope of John Smith the announcement that he is a "grocer." letter postage mast be paid by the receiver. If your mailing clerk makes on a wrapper any figure to decote the Dumber of papers, or, in fact, anything, except the address and date of expiration of subscription, the subscriber must pay letter postage for tte paper, although you have already paid the legal rate for third rate matter. That is rather calculated to frighten subscribers for next year. a As regards circulars, it is estimated that this inconsiderate order has cost merchants in this city already $2,000,000 by the loss of printed matter. If notice of a few weeks had beea given this loss would not have tf en felt might have been avoided; but practically co notice at all was given. A few papers published the order in obscure corners; the last Official Guide, published since the order was issued, contained no allusion to it, acd my copy for the Guide was addressed In violation of the new order. The first merchants generally heard of the order was wLen large quantiti.s of matter were returned to them marked as "improper printing." Of course they lost not only the printing but the postage s'amps already on the f nvelopes, unless they chose to pay the additional heavy charge as letter postage. The way it aflscts newspapers is different, as the newspapers are paid in alvance by weigdt, an 1 the new tax falls on the subscriber. Three copies of the Commercial Gazette, of Cincinnati, addressed to me had the words "three copies" printed under my addro, and I was charged 2G cents for what was no ad vantape to me, was a convenience of the CtimerciallUt zette ofUcr, and wa information for the postal authorities only. Five Troy Budgets for the same reason were detained for 42 cents. A Nashville American package happt ned to be wrapped in part of an eld exchange, but for that reaton twentynve cents was demanded, and I waa shown that on part of the wrapper was the printed edvertisement of some boot ard shoe store in some country town. Several papers have been detained because the date of subscription as well as date of expiration was printed thereon. A package of Boston Heralds, ten In number, was held because the mail clerk had mark ed an X to indicate the number which the package contained. Worse still, 72 cents was demanded because the mail clerk hid written the word "mail" on the wrapEer solely to indicate that a package of ten oston Globes were to go by mail and not by express. When it was explained that this word was'used solely for the convenience of the Herald, the demand waa not insisted on. Of course you can readily Bee that this foolish order is directly aeainst the interests of publishers of newspapers, and must have been issued by some person wholly ignorant of the machinery of a newspaper office. The "New York office j has been almost blocked up with newspapers refused by those of whom letter post- j f ge waa demanded. This order and the law authorizing it ought to be repealed at ence. The decadence of the dude in this city has been very rapid, and may now be said to be complete with the rejection and overthrow of Robert Hilliard, the dude act or, by Mrs. Langtry, the dudess actress. The "dand" of a tormer period was cor tent with his own admiration of him self. The "masher,' who follows the dandy, was happy in the smiles of any girl he casually rcet; but the latest development of the thingamy, the "dude", insists on public adoration and newspaper notoriety. E. Eerry Wail, once the "king of the dudes," is now a wine opener for Dee Berry Ac Co., and has been quite successful in CCnvicciDg his acquaintances of a fact quite patent to all connoisseurs that Main ner's wines are the best in the market. It does not require much talent to argue this, but it probably taxes Wall's genius to do it. Fred. Gebhard, another rich New Yorker, who, unlike Wall, is still rich, has been brought into prominence as a dude by his friendship for Mrs. Langtry. He is a tall, thin, but athletic young man, with a dull, expressionless, Dutch countenance. A friend of his who sat next to him one nicht at a private dress rehearsal of "As in a Looking Glass," tells me Gebhard talked of nothing but Mrs. Lang try's new dre es and his own horses. Hoben Hilliard, whom Gebhard has, with Mrs. Langtry's aid, utterly demolished both aa an actor and as a dude, recently endeavored to rival the dandy Berry Wall, and the Sun made considerable fun of both of them. He Is a young fellow who imagined he was handsome and believed he could act, and left a good position in Wall street to act and to manage a theater. He failed in the last undertaking; he got temporary employment in small parts in one or two companies, and finally condescended for a small stipend to play a "walking gentleman" in Mrs. Langtry'a new play. According to her story he tried to 'mash" ber, but she wouldn't have it, and give him notice. Hilliard, therefore, picked a quarrel with Gebhard; wrote him demanding atisfaction or an apology for eorce fancied offense to his wife. Gebhard contented himself with replying in a coldly contemptuous note, denying the insult, and thereupon Hilliard rashedinto print with what he called an explanation, but which was practically an apology, and which left the reader to infer that he e?yeedwith Gebhard and not with his wife. And for the life of him he cannot fee that he has made himself ridiculous ar-d probably put an end to his theatrical cefeer. 'A Rabble of Dudes" is the way a brother of Fred. Gsbhard calls the New York Club, from which he has just been exrelled. The circumstances have been sent you as news, but some of them have been carefully suppressed., uoionei ueDhard, it appears, years ago waa, of that rtru3 of the dandy known as a "masher," and, according to the evidence in the divoica case of Charlotte A. icholls against her husband, and in tbe papers submitted to the court in an effort to disbar Colonel Gebhard, the fair plaintiff in tbe one case and the dashing defendant in the other, left the cfty in each other's company, or, aa the papers fay. absconded together. If this sort of moral offense is to be made a grounds for disbarrir e lawvers. I fear the overcrowd ed ranks of the profession would be very rapialj decemated. xxi moraj stanaard

as regards women, Is not any higner man, as regards money matters, and few of them are to be trusted implicitly with either. General Eherman never fails to turn ud at any theatrical dinner, and he was on hand promptly, but evidently unprepared with a speech at the supper after the play given by young Charles P. Falmer to Kobton and Crane, the comedians who have been so successful in Branson Howard's "The Henrietta." I think he must have been unprepared, for, throughout the little speech he made impromtu, be continually likened himself to his "great exemplar, Georee Washington." The reffarencea to Washington and himself were so frequent that a witty listener was heard to remark in the most sarcastically serious manner, "How very, very much General Sherman thinks he reminds himself of the Father of his Country." Charles P. Palmer, who gave the dinner to the comedians, Robson and Crane, is the agent of the Courtland Palmer estate, which owns tbe block on Broadway, Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets and Fourth avenve, in which the Star and "Union Square Theaters are located. Practically, he owns both, and recently he has been able to get Shook and Collier to surrender the lease of the Union Square to him. He is a great ad mlrer of Helen Barry, the English actress who produced Cazuarau's "Fatal Seller" with fatal effect a few seasons ago; and it la, therefore, not unlikely that Mies Barry i will soon return to the stage of the union Square. I was talking to a prominent surgeon a few days ago who excited my interest by reccarkicg the tnbiect having turned on tbe report that the larynx, of the Crown Prince of Germany, was to be removed that "tbe operation is no longer fashion able with surgeons." "Are there fashions in surgery ?" I asked. "Oh yes," was his reply, "and every new operation is stud ied and imitated by snrgeons in all parts of the country. The remoyal of the larynx was quite the rage Bome years ago." "What is the fashion now?" "You will never guess," he Baid; "but in New York at the present time surgeons are fascinated with the operation of removing the ovaries of women." "You are certainly joking," I exclaimed. "Not at all. I have seen the operation peformed four times in a sir gle day." "It is shocking to think of," I replied; "is it possible to lind women wiliirg to submit to such an operation?" "Plenty of them." ''Becauseof diseases?" "Yes; diseases In many in-" stances, but others for reasons malthusisn." "How many dieof the operation?'' "About one in five. It is regarded as very dangerous. Another minor passion among surgeons, and popular with ladies, is the removal of moles and warts by electricity. It can be done without pain and without leaviDg a scar or blemish of any kind." William F. G. Shanks. Tbe fclx-Dav Race Ended. Pflii.APEr.rniA, November 2C The 142 hour go-as-you-please race ended to-niebt shortly bf fore 10 o'clock with Little wood, the Englishman, in first place, nearly forty miles ahead of his nearest competitor. The Englishman early this morning abandoned his expressed intention of tryirg to beat the world's record of CIO miles and jogged along easily throughout the day. The only feature of interest to-night was Elson's successful effort to reach 500 miles. His last few hours on the track, however, was rather a distressing sight. The old man was a physical wreck, and but for the kindly aid of Albert, who remained on the track and walked around with him, it ia believed be would have given up before he reached tbe desired goal. He completed 500 miles at 0:30 o'clock end then wobbled around an extra lap. Littlewood will receive about $2.200 as hia share of the gate receipts and entrance fee, Albert about $1.200, Pancbot $(0, Noremac $150, and Llson about $300. The management's chare of tte profits is about $1.000. Following are the scores of the five men at the finish: Littlewood, 5(19 miles, 1 lap; Albert, 530 miles; Panchot, 511 miles, 0 laps; Noremac, öCl miles, U laps; Elson, 500 miles, 1 lap. Isot in Favor or Complete Union. Bam;or, Me., November 2U. Toe ;Ba cor Commercial sent representatives to St. John BDd other New Brunswick points this week and interviewed many promt nent men there on the subject of commercial union, fisheries and other lead ing questions. To-cay the Commercial ?rints the interviews on these topics, be project for commercial union receives the indorEf ment of but one man of any prominence. All express friendly feeling toward the States, which they säy exists throughout the provinces, and all give their views as to how trade with the States could te ircresse d. They look to a settlement of the fishery dispute by the Commission, and that very soon. There Is no great feeling in the Provinces for annexation, tut several think the people would very readily favor it if it was bioached in the right manner. When afked in regard to the project for the purchase of the Maritime Provinces by the United States they asserted that such a proposition would not be ccrjsidertd by the people of the Dominion for a moment. The people of the Dominion would accept auch a proposition in the same spirit as would the people of the United States in case tbe dominion government make an offer to purchase the State of Maine. Trans-Continental Ttattic. New York, November 2C The trunk lines have authorized their Western connections to meet the cuts in passenger rates made by the Ohio and Mississippi Railway from St. Louis to New York. Vice-President Lauterback, of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, yesterday confirmed the published dispatches that at the Chicago meeting of the trans-continental lines a subsidy of 15,000 a month by tbe overland railroads was granted to the Steamship Company. He said that it was practically the best arrangement for the company that had been made since the time of to original subsidy of $110,000 a month. It was much better than the recent subsidy of $S5,0C0, because tbe contract with the Panama railroad lied been modified so that transportation across tbe Isthmus left a larger profit. Of course, the Steamship Company will not compete for the higher classes of freight, and as In former contracts tbe overland rallrosds guarantee to use the steamship line for the carrying of heavy merchandise. Killed His Brother and SUter. Bikmiiiham, Ala., November 2G. Information reached here last nightof a fearful tragedy near Perida, on the Louisville and Nashville railway. A half-witted boy named Charley Baker had witnessed the killing of tbe family meat. Having been f;one from the house some time, one morn Dg, with his brother and sister, aged respectively four and six, he came back alone, his clothes covered with blood, and told his mother he had killed them, show leg a sharp batcher knife with which he said he had done the work. Following him to a spot in the woods near tbe slaughter-pen, the mother sure enough found her younger son and daughter stretched on the ground in a pool of blood, both with their throats cat. The girl was dead, and the boy barely alive, While the family were attending them Charley disappeared again, and search being made far him shortly afterwards, he was found a few steps from the same spot dead, with his jugular vein severed, evidently by kls own hand. The wounded boy ia mending slowly.

ATLANTA GOES WET.

The Lcvz Fight Oyer the Liquor Qaeation Ended by Saturday's Election. Anti-Prohibiticniata Jnbjist Over Their Victory at the Pali. Ths Xtirce, Though Mach DvivideJ, Gsnsrlly Vote the Wet Ticket Ten Tboun&md Totes Cmat Indies Work Bard For the Prohibition TicketTb Warm Campaign Minor Notes. Atlanta, Oa., Noyeml er 2C After the most heated contest on record in the State of Georgia, Atlanta to-day voted against prohibition. The tight has been a peculiarly bitter one. For over a month the citizens have been engaged in the contest. Meetings have been held almost every n'ght and local speakers and foreign statesmen have stumped over the county from almost every curbstone in the city and eveiy cross-road in the county. Early in the campaign the Prohibitionists leased the largest warehouse in the city and fitted It up with Ee&tlng capacity for 8,000 people. Almost nightly that buildine has been filled and such scenes of wild enthusiasm are rarely Wilnet&ed. Almost every minister in the city preached prohibition from hia pulpit Sunday after Sunday. Both sides had full campaign funds and managed their respective causes for all they were worth. The Negro vote was the bone of contention and was the balance of power. Each side made the most strenuous endeavors to secure it in every way possible. The negroes were considerably divided on the subject, though the majority of them voted with the anti-Prohibitionists. One of the features of the contest has been the active part taken by many women of the city. Several of the churches organized committees from among their female members, who took an active part in the campaign. They organized the women of the colored churches into societies and met with them and prayed with them day after day. The result of their work was shown to-day by the appesrance of larje numbers of women at the polls with bine badges. They served hot coffee and sandwhiches at every polling place, and c inducted prayer meetings and singing crusades in the open air. Fulton County, in which Atlanta is located, voted two years ago on the same question, and went for prohibition by a msjority of 228, out of about 8,000 votes. The registration this time exceeded that of last year by 2,000 votes. The principal fight made on prohibition during the campaign was that it did not prohibit, and that inioxicitlng drinks could be openly purchased in a number of places throughout the city which paid taxes to the United States goyerrment for the sale of whisky. Thousands of gallons have been sent in each month from the cities around Atlanta, from which it was almost as easy ;o get a jog as it was at bars in the city. Antis claim that prohibition injured the city, which was receiving $50,000 a year in whisky licenses, without decreasing in the slightest the amount of whisky sold in the city. The Prohibitionists, on the other hand, claim that Atlanta has never had prohibition; that while it was so voted years ago, the licenses then existing did not expire, some of them, until almost a year ago, and tbat eince that time the domestic wine clause in the local option bill allowed many places in the city by which the law could be evaded. This was, however, remedied by the last Legislature, which pot a license of $10,000 on all wine rooms, which license will go into effect after January 1. The city has gone "wet" bv probably l.COO majority. Great enthusiasm prevails on the streets. The official vote of the county puts the anti-Prohibition majority at 1,200, out of a total of 9,500. There are sixteen precincts in the county, of which six are in this city. Tbe antis to-day carried every city precinct, and all but one of those in the county. In the last election, two years ago, the Frobibitichists carried the county by 500 and the antis the city by 300, leaving 200 majority for tbe Prohibition. Inis was reversed to-day by the antis carrying the county by 300 and the city by w Tue most intense excitement prevails in tbe city to-night, and the antis are jubilant. The Prohibitionists concede the victory and accept the result in good humor. Tried t Eat Himself. Keokuk, Ia., November 2G. Harris Fuchs, a Roesian prisoner in jail here, arrested for having attempted an assault upon a bridge gatekeeper to whom he refused to pay toll, became violently insane in his cell last night. He raved and shouted imprecations upon tbe bead of his supposed persecutor, threatened the most horrible vengeance upon those who caused his arrest and imprisonment, and acted in a manner which clearly indicated that he was a ßt subject for an asylum. As he was locked securely in a cell the officers at first paid but little attention to him, but the man's ravings continuing, and growing in noise and violence, It was thought best to adapt measures to restrain him. When the officers went to the cell door, a horrible sight met tbeir gaze. The man in mad delierium was attempting to devour himBelf. He was bitting vigorously and viciously at armsand hands, and with every snap of his sharp teeth, tearing away the flesh from these members in strips, leaving them raw and bloody. None of those present desired to come within reach of the maniac. Ropes were obtained and with considerable difficulty the fellow was lassoed and then securely bound and placed in a position to be unaMe to inflict further injury on himself. Fuchs continued violent even after he was bound, and it was necessary for the physicians to place him under the influence of opiates before they could quiet him sufficiently to give bis wounds the proper attention. A Itlizzard Coming;. Bt. Paul, Mian., November 2C-The storm which waa in central Dakota yesterday, reached here this afternoon, and turned the light snow which has been falling for two days into an incipient blizzard. Bo far it has not seriously interfered with railroad or street car travel, but if the wind continues the snow will drift bdly. North and West the violence of the storm has given place to a sharp decline in temperature, which is already (at 9 p. m.) beginning to be felt here. A special from Mitchell, Dak., reports the murcury 6 below zero there at 7 o'clock this morning, with a northwest wind. Over six inches of snow is reported from Huron, Dak., with a high wind. Trains, however, are not yet much delayed. At St Paul the thermometer registered 18 this morning. It was 4 below at Moorehead, a0 below at Bismark and C below at Cheyenne. A Pension Thief Indicted. Charliston, W. Va., November 2G. The United States Grand Jury to-day indicted Mentor J, Boggs and John F. Kiddle for forgery of a pensioner's indorsements upon the checks for quarterly payment. Mrs. Agnes Kiddle, the pensioner, died three years ago. Boggs, who was postmaster at Normantown, took the cheo ks sent

her by the government. 'No information having been given of her death, and aided by Riddle's certificate thatthe witnessed the trnsioner's signature in the Treasury, he collected the money. THE LAST STRAW, Kx-Senator Jones Denied that lie is an Applicant for Charity. Detroit, Mich., November 25. Within the past few days dispatches have been sent from Detroit to the newspapers all over the country seriously reflecting upon tbe condition, financial and mental, of ex-United States Senator Charles W.Jones, of Florida, who has resided in Detroit continuously since March, 1SP5. There is no doubt that the ex-Senator's finances are not in aa good condition as when he was in receipt of a salary from the United States, but he is not in any sense a pauper, nor ia hia mind unbalanced. Some few weeks ago Mr. Jones chose to leve his hotel and become the guest cf Detective P. O'Neill, of whose house he is still an inmate by invitation. To-day a man named Dawson took the liberty of circulating a subscription list in aid of the ex -Sen a tor. This was the last straw, and to-night Mr. Jones Issued the following card, the first expression regarding himself he has made since doming to Detroit To the editor of the Free PrerrI see it stated in an evening paper ;that an appeal is beifig made to the public in my behalf. I have never taken any notice, up to this time, of anything said in the public press about me or my family. I now desire to say that I have given no authority to anyOne to ask any contributions of money for me, and tbat I am not an applicant for public charity. Charles W. Jones. Mr. Jones states that he purposes returning to Florida to live after he has Bet tied up his affairs in Detroit, and will be a candidate for United States Hsoator to succeed Wilkinson Call, of Jacksonville.

Will the Murder Oat. COLiMtrs, November 25. Patrick Hagerty is in receipt of a letter which gives the particulars of the foulest murder ever committed, rivaling in atrocity the murder committed by the famous Bender f ami ily. Some seven yeara ago, the letter goes on to relate, a man stopped at the door of a farmer In an adjoining township and inquired about tbe Sile of the farm. The sale was consummated SDd the trader, who had a large amount of money upon his penon, retired to bed. This was the last Been of him in lite or death. The farmer reported that the stranger had left duricg the night, taking with him a suit of clothes and a hat, leaving his own hat. The murdered man's family lived in Ohio, and they telegraphed all over the country asking for information in regard to the missing man. The neighboring farmers were somewhat surprised at the filling up of a stock well by tbe farmer, at which place the strsnger stopped. The farm was afterward Eo'd, and the owner was instructed to make a road leading to tbe bam, so as to extend over the stock well. It is said that the mention of tbe murdered man's name in the presence of the farmer would throw him into paroxysms of rae. The letter gave tbe names of all concerned, which are withheld until a search ia made. A force of men will be organized and will make an examination of the premises. The letter directs the Marshal to go to a certain town in a townshin adjoining thi?, turn south and then trim west in a lane to a certain partially filled up stock well, where the skeleton of the murdered man can be unearthed and a mystery of seven yesrs' standing be cleared up, and the guilty man, who is now wealthy, be brought to justice. A Trip to JolierDelayeo. Chicago, November 20. It has been decided not to take Bccdleis Wassejnan, Ocbs, Wren, Varnell, Vanpelt and Leiden to Joliet until Wednesday next. This decision was reached this afternoon. Sheriff Matson intended to take them down Monday mornicg, but the bill of execption was not signed and ready for filing until late this afternoon, and Mr. Grinnell agreed to ask the sheriff to postpone the removal until Wednesday morning. The "boodlers" themselves and their counsel joined in the request. They bee that they may be allowed' to remain a while longer, and they waive all right to lelease from jail they might have on account of such detention. The request was granted and no action will probably be taken in the appellate court till next week. The ex tension of time until Wednesday gives the appellate court ample time to devote that degree of attention to tbe details of the record w hich is necessary from its volum nious character. International Arbitration. New York, November 2. A large audience gathered to-night m Checkering Hall to listen to speeches from the British Peace Commissioners. Mayor Hewitt presided, and in favoring international arbitration said no outside power should interfere in internal dissensions. Sir George Campbell then spoke in a similar line. An inquiry from the audience about the Alabama case was turned happily by an admission cf tbe shabbiness of the act. He also spoke favorably of Fisheries Cornmirsioner Chamberlain. A desire was evinced by tbe audience to hiss him, but every interrnption was happily turned. Frederick 11. Condit spoke, and then U alley Stewart, M. P., followed, mating a pleasing reference to Home Rule, which mollified the audience, at first inclined to hiss him also. Resolutions favoring government action in this direction were then passed. Luther Benson ia Missouri. Mexico (Mo.) Ledger. This distinguished gentleman has closed a series of three lectures to crowded and delighted audiences. The doors of the Opera House bad to be opened one hour before the time announced to let in the crowda that clamored for seats. We have had with us 8am Jones, Sam Small and George R. Wendling, but none or all of them delighted our people as has Mr. Benson. His lectures are indescribable; wit, humor, Barcasm and pathetic stories hold his audiences thrilled, spell bound. At times he is sublimely eloquent; hia audience laugh and cry almost in the same moment. His lectures cannot fail in doing great good by moving hia audiences to higher and more exalted motives. His pathos is most touching sad stirs the bouI to the deepest depths. Those who hear him will ever have cause for congratulaA Very Caroualnly Cut. Logaksport, November 25. Special. John B. Walters and Clay Underwood.both of Onward, this county, engaged in a stabbing affray this afternoon in which. Walters was badly inj wed. The story goes that Underwood asked Walters to loan him some money.

Linley, this afternoon, for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. Branch has been a prominent business man in this city for many years, and was considered a gentleman of large wealth, but it now comes out that while he has large property In real estate and stocks of various kinds, It iahea7ily mortgaged, perhapi to
