BI TELEGRAPH. THE NEWS CONDENSED. THE EAST. The trouble arising out of the refusal of the cigar firm of V. Martinez, Ybor & Co., of New York, Ybor City, and Havana, to employ Cuban cigarmakers, culminated in a bloody riot at Ybor City, in the course of which the Cubans killed M. F. Martinez and fatally wounded four other Knights of Labor. The Capital Punishment Commission appointed by the Governor of New York is about to report in favor of exterminating murderers by electric shocks ... H. L. Boss’ dwelling at Fern City, Pa., was destroyed by fire. His four children perished in the flames.... Four steel boilers at Spang, Chalfant & Co.'s Steel and Iron Works at Etnaborough, near Allegheny City, Pa., exploded with terrific force, completely wrecking the bar-mill department, killing one man instantly and seriously injuring a number of others. The concussion was so great that it shook the houses for miles around, shattering windows in the vicinity of the mill and awakening the residents of the town, who rushed in terror from their houses, scantily clothed, to learn the cause. The ruin wrought in the mill by the explosion was complete. The building was laid low and the machinery broken and scattered in all directions. One piece of a boiler, weighing at least 1,000 pounds, cut its way through the entire mill and fell on the public road, fully 500 yards distant. Another piece of boiler iron, weighing 2,500 pounds, was found 300 yards from the scene of the explosion. In its flight it cut through the trunk of a tree two feet in diameter, leaving nothing but the stump standing. THE WEST.

McGill were among the guests. Gov. Lee responded to the toast, “The New South.” Among other things he said: “We are back once more in the house of our fathers with a reputation to sustain as a State of the Union. Personally I stand midway between the extremes, with a sear from a Texas battlefield and a scar from a war where I fought for what I believed right. One of my colored boys is named Jefferson Davis and one Abraham Lincoln. Virginia is proud to take her place by the side of Minnesota in the glittering crown that binds the brow of the American Union.” While the band played “Columbia,” three cheers for Gen. Lee, proposed on behalf of the old soldiers of Minnesota, were given with a will. The ice in the Susquehanna River near Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, is piled thirty feet high for a distance of three miles....

His companion went for aid, and on returning within an hour found that Holmes had been eaten alive by wolves, after slaying five of the pack with a revolver. THE SOVTH. A passenger train on the Texas and Pacific Road was boarded by a band of robbers near Gordon, Texas, and the express and mail cars were rifled of their valuable contents. The robbers are said to have realized about $15,000. The passengers were not molested. The periodical robbery of the postoffice at Corinth, Miss., caused the Postmaster to place a beaver-trap in a window where the burglar usually entered. The other morning the son of a prominent citizen was found so tightly clasped with steel bands that he could not easily be released. While the Postmaster went for assistance the robber nearly killed himself with a pocket knife Governor Ross of Texas has followed up his inaugural address by a message to the Legislature in which he recommends a number of reforms, dealing in a vigorous manner with the railroad question and recommending that pooling among railroads be declared unlawful, and that any officer of a railroad engaging therein may be convicted of felony Preston Valentine was hanged at Augusta. Georgia, ard Abe Chambers at Newport, Arkansas, for murder. Both were colored men. Two murderers were taken from the jail at Warren, Ark., and hanged by a mob. Their bodies were subsequently cut down and thrown into a slream. WASHLUtiTOX Congressman Floyd King, cf Louisiana, publishes a card in the Washington papers regarding the insults offered to him by Cuthbert Jones in the barber’s shop of Willard’s Hotel. King says: While I was being shaved Cuthbert B. Jones, accompanied by a man whom I took to be his brother, came into Stewart’s shop and soon began conversation with each other in a loud tone of voice about my defeat for a renomination to Congress. To this I made no response. When I had been shaved and arose from mv position Cuthbert Jones got up from a chair eight or ten feet distant, on the arm of which he was sitting, and, looking at me, uttered for some moments the most offensive and brutal language, such as a would-be assassin would employ when seeking an opportunity to commit murder under the disguise of the law, he and his friend meanwhile occupying advantageous positions some twelve or fifteen feet apart. Discovering that I could not be caught in the villainous trap they had laid for me they retired. I kept my eye all the time on botb. In the height of his frenzy Jones held his stick in his left hand and threw his right on his hip, or possibly into his hip-pocket. Under these circumstances, being menaced by such deadly purpose, had I been armed I should have felt justified in destroying him. He was at no time nearer than eight or ten feet from me. lam a law-abiding man, but the law imposes no restraint in protecting myself. Jones’ hostility to me is due solely to my opposition to his appointment to a consular position. That opposition was because Iwas informed by most reputable and distinguished men acquainted with the facts that he was a fugitive from justice on account of the assassination of Gen. Liddell of my district by Jones’ father, his elder brother, and himself, the two former being lynched for t heir crime, and the latter flying for his life. He has never yet ventured to return. Not long ago he had his life insured, and by the payment of an extra premium had the exemption about suicide and d' ath by violence stricken out, telling the agent with great frankness that he expected to die with his boots on. He always goes armed, and has repeatedly tried to provoke King into assaulting him. He has challenged him to a duel several times, but the Congressman will take no notice of him. It is believed by the friends of Jones that King’s card will result in a culmination of the long feud by the death of one or the other of them. It is estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury that the cost of collecting the customs revenues for the next fiscal year will be $6,54.0,873... .Mrs. Voorhees, the

wife of Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, died I in "Washington last week. Congressman Morrison is mentioned for the position of member of the Interstate Commission, as are also Senator Conger and a son of Senator Thurman. The pay is $7,509 a year.... A bond call amount' ing to $13,8c'7,000 has been issued. The uncalled 3 per cents, now aggregate $40,000,000. The First Comptroller of the Treasury, by another opinion on the accounts of John S. Mosby as Consul at Hong Kong, has disallowed claims for $12,000. POEITICAE. Nels P. Haugen is elected Congressman from the Eighth Wisconsin District, to succeed the late William T. Price, by several hundred majority. A crisis was reached in the New Jersey legislative dead-lock at Trenton when the Democratic majority of the Assembly forced a ballot for United States Senator: A motion to proceed to ballot for Senator was objected to by the Republicans as illegal, the requirement being that the vote should be taken on the second Tuesday after the organization of the Legislature, and the senatorial half of it was not organized. The Democrats replied that the failure to organize was the result of revolutionary methods by the Bepubpublicans, and that it was unnecessary to discuss the matter further. The House then proceeded to vote on the question of taking a ballot, and it prevailed by the votes of thirty Democrats. Ex-Gov. Leon Abbett was then now mated for Senator, and on a call of the roll he received 30 votes. Noue of the Republicans or Labor men voted. The record was ordered to be entered on the Assembly journal. The Senate met but refused to organize. The Senate is Republican, and their reason for not organizing is to prevent the election of a Senator. The Michigan Hotise passed bills to break up the stockades in the lumber and mining camps, and to prohibit the importation of Pinkerton detectives into the State. A bill to forbid the marriage of inmates of county jails or poor houses introduced in the Illinois House. The Hon. Philetus Sawyer was re-elected Senator by the Wisconsin Legislahue. W. B. Bate, ex-Governor of Tenne*ee, was elected Senator fiom that State. A caucus of the Republican members of the Pennsylvania Legislature resolved to propose for submission to the people an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor to be used as a beverage. THE RAILWAYS. A recent dispatch from Topeka, Kan., says. Two new railroads have been chartered here, which, although incorporated under different names, will be practically under the same management. One road, the Kansas Valley, will be built from a point near Kansas City west along the valley of Kansas to the western boundary of the State and from thence to Denver, Col. The total capital stock of the company is placed at $10,000,000. The second road is to be known as the Topeka, Blue Valley and Northwestern Railway, and will be built from Topeka to a point in Cheyenne County, with a branch from a point in Waubunsee County to Clay Center. The length of this road will be about 500 miles, and its capital stock $10,000,000. The St. Joseph and St. Louis Railroad company, having secured the annulment of its lease to the Iron Mountain and Missouri Pacific companies, has brought suit for $400,000 damages against the roads named. A St. Louis dispatch asserts that Jay Gould is about to purchase or build tracks direct from Memphis to Denver. Notwithstanding the fact that railway pools are forbidden by the interstate commerce law, the various Chicago associations will probably retain their joint machinery for the compilation of st itistics, the publication of rates, and protection from fraudulent practices by shippers. GENERAL A dispatch from Ottawa, Canada, says: “The officials of the Fisheries Department here look on the Belmont fisheries bill as a game of bluff, and say it is a poor return for six months’ free use of the Canadian fisheries under the promise of the President of the United States that a fisheries commission would be appointed at the next meeting of Congress, which promise was never carried 0ut.”..,.A steamer from Buenos, Ayres, South America, arriving at Pauillac, Southern France, has cases of cholera on board. Cholera has made its appearance on the Chilian frontier, and great excitement exists in consequence... .John L. Sullivan and party report having made over $40,000 by their trip to the Pacific coast.... A cable message received from Dr. Kreuger, of the European Union of Astronomers, announces the discovery of a comet by Dr. Thorne, Director of the Observatory at Cordova, South America. The comet was in the constellation Grus (the crane). Dr. Thorne announces that it will become very brilliant and that it lesembles in character the great comet of 1880, which was first announced by Dr. Gould, then director of the same observatory. Two other comets have been discovered. Much excitement and uneasiness is felt in Canada over the fisheries retaliatory measures adopted by the United States Senate. A dispatch from Montreal says: Official journals here have all inspired articles on the action of Congress on the fisheries question. The Gazette says Congress is endeavoring to coerce Canada. “it is quite true,” the journal continues, “that a literal interpretation of the treaty of 1818 is out of joint with the spirit of our times; that commercial methods have been revolutionized, and that the manner of conducting the fisheries has changed. That is the principal point urged by Mr. Bayard in his report to Congress on the action of the Canadian Government, but why does not Congress authorize the appointment of a joint commission? That reasonable and easy course would quickly lead to a mutually satisfactory and fair settlement of the whole question, and that is all Canada desires.” From the maritime provinces comes the report that the people there are in favor of retaliation and will 'make this a plank in tne present election campaign. Should the Canadian Government take this step, it is claimed that the United States would be the greatest sufferers, as the Central Vermont and Michigan Southern and other railroad corporations do an immense carrying trade through Canada. The internal revenue collections during the six months ending Dee. 30 were $57,503,503 —a decrease of $1,054,340 as compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. There was a decrease of $3,222,844 in the collections on spirits, an increase of $683,881 in tobacco, an increase of $1,112,461 on fermented liquors. The total collections from oleomargarine since Nov. 1 amounted to £298,109. FOREIGN. The latest reports from London indicate that the British have no intention of seriously backing Canada in the fisheries question, if the Americans only show a firm front. The general feeling is one of surprise that the United States should nave stood the Canadian nonsense so long. It is known the British Government, when sanctioning the enforcement of the fishery regulations in the treaty of 1818, after the abrogation of the fishery clauses of the Washington treaty in 1885, impressed upon Sir John Macdonald the necessity of maintaining friendly relations with the United States....

Philetus Sawyer was formally re-elected United States Senator from Wisconsin by the Legislature in joint session at Madison. The joint balloting in the United States Senatorship fight in Texas took place Wednesday, but without result. Four ballots were taken, the last one standing: Reagan, 51: Maxey, 44; Ireland, 39; Shepperd, 1. The Republican members of the New Jersey Legislature absented themselves from the joint session on Wednesday. Leon Abbott received the votes of thirty-eight Democrats for Senator. Forty-one votes constitute a majority in joint session. Another ballot for United States Senator was taken on Wednesday by the Indiana Legislature, but no change in the vote occurred. The joint ballot of the West Virginia Legislature for Senator on Wednesday called into the field as the Republican candidate W. T. Willey, an octogenarian who was the first Senator from that State after its organization. He received 40 votes, and J. N. Camden 39. The latter lacked 7 votes of an election... .A bill has been introduced in the Michigan Legislature permitting soldiers’ wives to enter the State Soldiers’ Home The Rhode Island House adopted a joint resolution for the appointment of a joint committee to investigate the newspaper charges of rank corruption during the May session in 1886. F. C. Sharp, postmaster at Oconto, Wis., has been arrested for rifling registered letters. On his person was found $l2O in bills marked by Inspector Kidder and placed in decoy letters. The criminal was a citizen above suspicion and published the leading newspaper in that city. The robberies have been frequent for a month past. Robert Walters, of Monmouth, 111., achieved some notoriety by swearing that he saw men and women swimming together, in a nude state, at a picnic on the banks of Cedar Creek, for which they were indicted. Last week he. pleaded guilty to perjury, and meekly accepted a sentence of three years in the Penitentiary. A besolu tion offered by Mr. Hoar, instructing the Committee on Privileges and Elections to investigate the allegations made by throe residents of Washington County, Texas, us to their being driven from their homes, compelled to abandon their property. mid deprived of the right of suffrage in that county, came up in the Senate Jun. 26, and gave rise to a warm debate. Mr. Coke protested that the pro; osed investigation was into a subject outside th l ’ jurisdiction of Congress. The State of Texas hid State autonomy Her constitution mid laws were in full force und operation. Sho could redress all grievances, personal or otherwise, occurring w i bin her b rders. The subject was one peculiarly within the jurisdiction of the State, and the resolution was an intermeddling with something belonging wh dly to the Stat >, and outside of the jurisdiction of the General Government. He gave u history of the case, to the effect that a respectable white Denio-rat hud b en shot by a colored man at the polls near Brenham, Texas ; that throe colored men had been arrested and placed in jail, charged with that crime ; that a mob had taken tuem out of jail und hanged them, and that the three petitioners, Hackworth, Moore, and Schultze, who had been prominent in influencing and deluding the negro population there, hud supposed their lives to be in danger and had tied the country. He had received a telegram fr m D, C Giddings, of Brenham, formerly a Representative in Congress from Texas, saying that the three petitioners were of the worst typo of scalawags; that they had been mainly instrumental in stirring up strife between the races, and were charged with investigating the murder referred to; that they were not driven from their homes nor were their lives threatened, but that their own guilty consciences had cause 1 them to leave the country for the country :> good Mr. Hoar said the three petitioners represented themselves to be men of propertv and wealth: that they had been earning their living in peaceful, lawful, and honorable ways; and that they hud been driven out from their homes on American soil. Mr. Hoar, referring to the speeches on the fisheries bill, asked whether the right of an American citizen was less sacred in the eye of the American Congress when it happened to be violated on American soil. Mr. Eustis (a member of the committee) opposed the resolution as a "waving of the bloody shirt a little in advance of the usual season.” Mr. Evarts (a member of the committee) sustained the resolution and argued that now, when there was an opportunity to prove, under the authority of the Senate, that this was a mere “waving of the bloody shirt,” it should do so. The resolution was adopted—3l to 25. By a vote of 17 to 31 the Senate rejected the nomination of J. C. Matthews, a colored Democrat from Albany, as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. The Senate fisheries bill was laid before the House, and on motion of Mr. Belmont it. was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and leave granted the ccmmittee to report at any time.

SHAMEFUL ABUSE Heaped Upon a Noted Englishman for His Open Honesty. Wm. Ed. Robson, AL D., LR C. 8. I, AI. K. Q. C. P. L, late of the Royal Navy, of England, has got into professional trouble for writing the following open letter to tho editor of the London Family Doctor. “I believe it to bo the duty of every physician to make known any moans or remedy whereby sickness can be prevented, and it is for this purpose I write to give my experience both hero and abroad. 1 ask tho publication of the statement, that people may be warned before it is too lato, to say to them that there is at hand a means by which they may ba restored to perfect h Tilth. It is well known to tho medical world, and indeed to the laity, that a certain disease is making a terrible havoc; that next to consumption it is tho most fatal, and that when fully developed there is _ othmg to be done for tho sufferer. “Phys clans and scientists have long been trying to throw light upon tho cause, and, if possible, find in nature a medicine for this fatal malady. They have shown, absolutely, that tho blood-purifying organs of vital importance are the kidneys, and that when they once fail tke poison which they should take out of tho blood is car. iod by the blood into every part of the body, dovetoping disease. “In my hospital practice in England, India and South America, and also while a surgeon in tho Royal Navy of Great Britain, I gave a great deal of attention to tho study of diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs, and found that not only was tho cure of chronic Bright’s Disease hopeloss, but that kidney disease was remarkably prevalent; much more so than generally known, and was tho cans j of tho majority of cases of sickness, and f urther, that the medical profession has no remedy which exerts any absolute control over these organs in disease. “Some time ago, whou I had a case which resisted all regular treatment—which is very limited — complicated with the passing of stones from tne kidneys, much against my will I permitted my patient to use Warner’s safe cure, of which 1 had heard marvelous results. In his case the result was simply marvelous, as tho attack was a severe one, and development very grave, for an analysis showed per cent of albumen and granular tube casts. “The action of the medicine was singular and incomprehensible to me. 1 have never seen anything like it The patient recovered promptly, and is to-day a well and healthy man. This stimulated my inquiry into the merits of the remedy, and, after analysis, I found it to boos purely vegetable character, harmless to take under all circumstances. “Casting aside all professional prejudice, I gave it a thorough trial, as I was anxious that my patients should bo restored to health, r.o matter by what medicine. I prescribed it in a groat variety of cases, Acute, Chronic, Bright's Disease, Congestion of the Kidneys, Catarrh of the Bladder, and in every instance did it speedily effect a cure. “For 'this reason I deem it my duty to give to the world this statement regarding the value of Warner's safe cure. I make this statement on facts 1 am prepared to produce and substantiate. I appeal to physicians of largo practice who know how common and deceptive diseases of the kidneys are, to lay aside professional prejudice, give their patients Warner’s safe cure, restore them to perfect health, earn their gratitude, and thus be true physicians. “I am satisfied that more than one-half of the deaths which occur in England arc caused, primarily, by impaired action of the kidneys, and tho consequent retention in tho blood of the poisonous uric ami kidney acid. Warner’s safe euro causes tho kidneys to expel this poison, chocks the escape of albumen, relieves the iuflninniation, and prevents illness from impaired and impoverished blood. Having had more than seventeen years’ experience in my profession, 1 conscientiously and emphatically state that I have been able to give more relief and effect more cures by the use of Varner's safe euro than by all the other medicines ascertainable to the profession, tho majority of which, 1 am sorry to say, are very uneertam in their action.” “Isn’t that a straightforward, manly letter’?” “Indeed it is. ” “Well, but do you know the author has been dreadfully persecute! for writing it'?” “How so? What has he done to merit it’?” “Done? He has spoken the truth ‘out of school,’ and his fellow physicians, who want tho public to think they have a monopoly in curing diseases, are terribly angry with him for admitting professional inability to reach certain disorders. “That letter create l a wonderful sensation among the titled classi s and the public. This jarred tho doctors terribly. The College of Surgeons and Queen’s College, fiom which institution he was graduated, asked for an explanation of his unprofessional conduct, and notified hini that unless he made a retraction they would discipline him. “Du' doctor replied that he allowed his patients to make use of Warner’s safe cure only after all the regular methods had failed, and when ho was satisfied that there was no possible hope for them. Upon the r recovery, after having use 1 Warner's safe cure, he was so much surprised that ho wrote the above letter to the Family Doctor. Ho regretted that tho faculties found fault with his action in the matter, but he could not conscientiously retract tho facts as written to the Family Doctor. “The faculties of both colleges replied that unless ho retracted they should cut him off, which would naturally debar him from again practicing his profession, and also prevent his securing another appointment in tho Royal Navy! “To illustrate: th? doctor's dilemma is certainly an unpleasant one, emphasizing, as it doos, both his own honesty, and the contemptible prejudice and bigotry of English med cal mon. '1 he masses,however,having no sympathy with their nonsense, keep on using the remedy he so highly recommends and got well, while the rich and able depend upon the prejudiced doctors and die! ETIQUETTE. Small Social I’orins. It has been often said that the best single rule of etiquette is to do unto others as you would have others do unto you. But this rule is hardly complete enough for the guidance of a young man who first goes into what is called society. There are many details which it is essential one should learn. These often differ in different places. For instance, in America it is customary for a lady to speak to a gentleman acquaintance first on the street. On the continent of Europe the rule is reversed. Travel familiarizes one with the different interpretations of etiquette in different countries, and shows one that after all there are no fixed rules for all places. They are, in every place, but trifling barriers to protect people from boors or bores, and are of no intrinsic importance. The most delightful society is that in which the members are so well versed in rules of etiquette that they can readily discover when to use and when to dispense with them. Is an Introduction Required? “I am invited to an entertainment. I never meet any one in the house, or I know the daughter but not the host and hostess. What shall I do about speaking to them? Shall I get some one to present me ?” This is a question which often puzzles those who do not stop to think. An invitation to a house gives one an acquaintance with all the family under its roof. There is no necessity for an introduction. On entering the drawingroom it is proper to step to where the host and hostess are receiving. It is also proper to speak to any of the family, and before departure leave should also be taken of those who are at home. The Rapidity of Progress Toward Health, Even when a goal remedy for disease is selected, depends in some measure upon t ;e manner in which it is taken Irregular, inti rrupted doses can afford no fair test of the efficacy of any medicine, however salutary. Taken in proper doses at prescribed intervals, a reliable curative will effect the object of its use. Among remedies which, systematically and persistently used, accomplish thorough and lasting cures, and prevent the recurrence of periodic disease, Hostetter’s Stomach Bittera ranks specially high. In cases of dyspepsia, debility, rheumatism, fever and ague, liver complaint, inactivity of the kidneys and bladder, constipation and other organic maladies, it is’ a tried remedy, to which the medical brotherhood have lent their professional sanction, and which, as a tonic, alterative und household specific for disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, has an unbounded popularity.

A young man with an expression ol confidence on his face entered a Michigan avenue clothing store and asked: “1 am straight business. I want a suit of clothes. Thore are seven of us who will buy our clothes at the same pla' e. 1 have been sent on ahead to get prices.” “ Humph!” “If I bring tho other six here to buy what will you make this S2O suit for ? ’ The clothier went over and sat down by tho stove with a di gusted look on his fa e. “You didn’t answer my question.”^ “My fr.endt, please go oudt. lou make me werry tired!” “What’s the matter with you? Don’t you want me to bring the party here?” “No, my frendt, 1 don’t. All my sales to-day go to an orphan asylum, and I like to keep ’em down to a summer coat and a pair of second-baud pants. Better try dor man two doors below.” — Detroit Free Press. The publisher of Baltimore (Md.) Every Saturday, Air. T. J.

In Russia a lock of hair is considered a signal jdedge of the tender passion; but few of the French theatrical divinities are endowed with profuse cheveleures. Mlle. Alice glories in the possession of auburn ringlets and wouldn't part with one of them for less than a duchy. Her Russian admirers, the Count de L. and the Baron de 31.. both happen to have hair of the same golden hue as that of their mutual Dulcinea. Each begged a tress of her hair in exchange for a lo k I of his own, to whi h tho charming creature readily assented, and w ithout touching a single tuft of her head cunningly managed to effect a change of parcels by which each gentleman received a curl of his r val's capillaries. The Count wears the Baron’s hair next his heart, and the Baron sleeps with the Count's s alplo. k under his pillow. —Chicago Herald. — If you have catarrh, use tho surest remedy —Dr. Sago’s.
