LATEST DISPATCHES. FUNERAL OF JUSTICE WAITE. Impressive Ceremony In the House of Repre- < sentatives at Washington. The funeral of the late Chief Justice Waite, in the House of Bepresentatives, at Washington, called together as distinguished an audience of men and women ' as could be gathered in any city of the world. Every man of note in Washington was present, and the galleries of the House I of Representatives were tilled with the i wives of officials, statesmen, diplomates, and the social leaders of the city. The services were of an impressive nature. The nation's respect for the memory of its highest judicial officer and its sorrow for his death were expressed in the presence of the President and his Cabinet, the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, the General of the Army, the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, and the members of the House and Senate. There was no address delivered, the exercises being wholly made up of the reading of the beautiful burial service of the Protestant Episcopal Church by , Bishop Paret. The remains were placed ■ upon a special train and taken to 1 oledo, , accompanied by members of the Supreme Court and committees from the Senate and House. HOGS PACKED IN A SEASON. Reports of the Animals Slaughtered and Product in Store. The annual report of pork packing in the West for the year ending March 1 has been compiled at Cincinnati. The winter packing was about as follows, compared with last year, in number of hogs: 1887- 88. 1886-'M. .Eight large centers 4.251),0J0 4,435,859 Other packing 1,050,000 2,003,150 Total in West 5,1)00,000 6,439,009 This implies a decrease of about 539,000 hogs for the season. In regard to the prospective supply of hogs, the returns point t ■ a decrease of 13 per cent, compared wiih a year ago. Comparisons of stocks of hog product March 1 in the West show* that the total supply of meats and pork was 357,000,000 pounds, against 344,000,000 last year, and of lard 47,000,000 pounds, against 58,000,000 last year. HEAVY FLOODS IN THE SOUTH. Trains on Georgia Railroads AbandonedTwo Children Drowned Anniston (Ala.) dispatch: “All the streams in this section of the State are out of their banks and many bridges have been washed away. The Eastern Tennessee, Virginia .t Georgia, the Georgia Pacific, and the Anniston A Atlantic Railroads have abandoned all trains and traffic and travel is at a complete standstill. Two I children, living a few miles from here in the country, were caught in the current of I a swollen stream and drowned." Atlanta (Ga.) dispatch: “Reports from nil parts of the State show that the enormous rain-fall of the last week throughout Georgia has resulted in great damage to railroads and farming interests." Two Million Persons Destitute. Latest advices from China say that the crisis in Bonan is passed, but that the distress of the people is appalling, 2,000,0(10 persons being utterly destitute. The nearest towns are invaded by hordes of naked and starving refugees from the Hooded dis- । tricts, who, like swarms of locusts, are de- ' vouring everything. Thirty thousand per- . sons have been made homeless by the floods in the Valley of the Vistula, in Ger- ; many. Nearly fifty people have been ' drowned. The total loss by the inundations is estimated at over $50,000,000. Killed by a Mob of Women. A mob of women in C onstantinople sought to obtain the arrears of pensions due their husbands from the Government, and besieged the office of the Minister of Finance. The Minister was secreted to escape the fury of the women. The mob , killed a woman who was advising them to । make their demands quietly. A Bank Palls to Pieces. The private banking house of Thomas [ P. Miller, of Mobile, Ala., after thirty-six years of existence, has succumbed. There was no run on the bank. It simply fell to pieces, and there is little if anything left. The amount due depositors is about SIBO,000, and to other creditors about $50,000. Telegraphic Brevities. The effort to crush two infamous dance- I houses near Eau Claire, Wis., has failed. The Hon. R. R. Bishop will succeed Judge Bacon on the Massachusetts Superior Bench. Salem (Mass.) dry-goods’dealers Will- I iam G. Webber & Co. have assigned, with I liabilities of $100,000; nominal assets, $135,000. A NUMBER of workmen were injured in a premature explosion of gunpowder at James Findlay’s mine, at Rittenhouse Gap, Pa. Judge Shipman, of the United States Circuit Court, rendered a decision dismiss- I ing the suit of Rowland Hazard and other stockholders of the Credit Mobilier against Sidney Dillon, as trustee. The suit, begun fourteen years ago, asked for an accounting ] for the work done on the Union Pacific Road. EAST. < i The remains of General Paes, the Venzuelan statesman, were exhumed at New 1 York on Thursday, and are now being conveyed to Venznela by the American war ship Pensacola. Rather than see her three little children starve or be taken in charge by her . late husband’s relatives Mrs. Lebkuchner, a widow in New York City, bought poison I and administered it to the children. She then went to a police station and gave in- ' formation of her awful crime, and when the officers reached the house two of the I children were dead and the third past all I hope of recovery. The cane in its details is one of the most harrowing and terrible everknown. Rufus W. Peckham, of Albany, is being spoken of as Justice Waite’s sue- i cessor. At Utica, N. Y., General Lester B. 1 Faulkner was held in $360,000 bonds forembezzling $15:1,0.10 of the funds of the wrecked First National Bank of Dansville, N. Y. His brother James, the absconding President of the bank, returned from Canada and made a clean breast of the affairs of the concern before the United States Grand Jury. A New York telegram says that “Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the widow of Parsons the

Innarchisß delivered a leCtuM at Clarendon Hall under the auspices of the German Federated Trades. She said that she had burned all her bridges behind her, and did not care what became of her, but I hoped that before she went to her grave । she would see anarchy triumph. She hoped that anarchists would walk through the streets with banners, on which would be inscribed the last words of her husband, ‘ Let the voice of the people be heard.’ WEST. In the search for the source of supply of the dangerous counterfeits of the $5 silver certificate which have of late been so plentiful in Chicago and other points in the West the Government officers have been successful in tracing the crime to John Bain and. James Stapp, two business men of good standing who live in Newton County, Ind., and they have been held in bail of SIO,OOO each. The men refuse to disclose where they got the bogus bills. Col. Thomas McKissock, the veneraj ble railroad official and President of the • Council Bluffs and St. Louis Railroad, died at St. Louis, Mo., aged 65 years. The jury in the trial of the State of Ohio against Robert B. Montgomery and others, for the Columbus tally sheet forgeries, being unable to agree, was dis- : charged. It stood ten for conviction and । two for acquittal. Word comes by telegraph from Kansas I City of the almost utter destruction of the town of Ninnescah, Kingman County, Kan., by a tornado. It had been raining all day and as evening approached the storm was seen approaching from the southwest. It struck the town and de- ; stroyed ev ything in its path, leaving only three houses standing in the whole place. Two churches, five stores and fifteen dwellings were torn to pieces, and the flying timbers killed three persons and maimed seventeen others. The victims are: Mrs. J. C. Williams, with her infant, killed; George S. Hardesty, killed; James । Williams, both legs broken and several ! bruises, will probably die - Charles Gor- | don, injured in the back, supposed to be fatally. The others injured have only minor hurts. What goes up must come down. Kansas City real estate has taken a tumble. It -was in the sbap>) of a large landslide on the bluff facing the Union depot, where for fifteen hundred feet the face of the bluff gave way and vast quantities of earth and rock were precipitated to the lower level. SOUTH. Further investigation of the treatment of Arkansas convicts in the Coal Hill mines reveals brutalities even more horrible than at first reported. Warden Scott whipped seventy-live men in one night till all were bleeding. The men bad gone without shoes all winter, ami one had been murdered in cold blood, by order of the fugitive warden, Gafford. The Attorney-General of Texas has instituted proceedings to recover from the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railroad Company, the Texas portion of the Southern Pacific system, forty sections of the eighty claimed by the company in Kinney County, Texas. The suit anainst the railway company is a testcase, and will affect the title to (5,000,000 acres of Texas land. If the Attorney-General is successful the land system of the State will be thrown into confusion. A West Virginia desperado named Willis has lately killed four people and tied to the mountains. He is pursued by a band of fifty citizens, who are scouring the hills with the intention of taking him dead or alive. Silver ore in paying quantities is said to have been discovered in Scott County, Kentucky. The President and cashier having both absconded and taken all they could lay their hands on, it is needless to say that the State National Bank of Raleigh, North Carolina, is no longer in running order. The bank was started by a wealthy man named Williams with a capital of $100,00(1. Williams assigned shares to his sons-in-law, and they with him became the directors. After the death of Williams his widow became the president of the bank and acted as such until two or three years ago, when she retired and her son-in-law. Cross, was elected president. The circulation of the closed bank is said not to be over $25,000, which is secured; but the deposits are said to be about $240,000, for which the stockolders uro responsible. Ex-Lieut.-Governor William DokSHEIMER died at Savannah, Ga., after only four days’ sickness. Felix O. C. Darley, the celebrated designer and illustrator, died suddenly at his home in Claymont, Del. He was born in Philadelphia in 1822. WASHINGTON. A Washington dispatch says that Senators were surprised to learn that the House Committee on Revision of the Laws was ready to report a joint resolution, providing for the choosing of Senators by popular vote instead of by State Legislatures. They had often heard that such proposition, was pending, but few of them thought it would come to a head. Once in awhile petitions come in asking for popular Senatorial elections, but heretofore they have passed unnoticed. When Van Wyck was in the Senate “Old Crazy-horse” used to startle his colleagues by warning them that a change was coming. He was always laughed at. Now- the House Committee has actually agreed on a report, and will ask that a day be given to the subject. W. G. Bartle, an ex-pork-packer of St. Louis, testified before the House Agricultural Committee in Washington that he knew of cholera-infected hogs being cut up and the product put on the market as good meat. A Washington special says the condition of Mr. Mills, Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, is critical. He is suffering from overwork in I connection with the preparation of the tariff bill. The illness of Chairman Mills may postpone the consideration of the bill longer than had been expected. When he will be able to appear in the Committee on Ways and Means or on the floor of the House is very uncertain. The Republicans will not have their bill ready before the completion of the consideration of the Mills bill in committee of the whole, and during its consideration will confine their efforts to the presentation of amendments. LABOR. A Chicago dispatch of Monday says: “Nota wheel of a freight car turned in the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy yards yesterday. For the second time within a month the freight business of this road is temporarily paralyzed, this time by the action of the switchmen. The Knights of Labor of Pittsburg, Pa., are in great feather at the proposition of Mr. Andrew Carnegie to turn his steel works into a co-operative concern, whereby the men will share the profits with the firm. POLITICS. The Nebraska Republican Stale Convention to elect four delegates-at-large to the National Republican Convention has been called for May 15 at Lincoln. Owing to the Michigan Prohibition Convention being called at Grand Rapids May 16, the Democratic State Central Committee has changed the date of the Michigan Democratic Convention to Thursday, May 10. The Prohibition party of West Virginia has decided to call a convention at Parkers-

i burg July 18 to nominate a full State ! , ticket. Congressional conventions are to j ( be held and candidates ioi ths Legislature nominated. i Upon the 276th ballot in the Democratic * Judicial Convention at Mount Vernon, ’ Chauncey S. Conger, of Carmi, received [ the nomination for the place on the Illinois supreme bench to be vacated by : , Justice Mulkey at the expiration of his term. FOREIGN. , The late Emperor's wili, says a cable dispatch, shows that his total savings do not exceed $12,500,000. The larger port on of the property is left to increase the crown treasure or general fund of the 1 crown established by his father. The re--1 mainder is divided among Empress Augusta, Emperor Frederick, and the Grand . Duchess of Baden. The Babelsburg castle and Coblentz palace are bequeathed to ' Empress Augusta. There are minor legacies. A cable dispatch from Pesth says that Deputy Abranvy was mortally wounded in a duel by Herr Pulszky. The trouble was caused by the refusal of Abranvy to separate from his wife and marry Mme. Pulszky, who was formerly a leading Hungarian actress. The woman threw herself into the Danube, but was rescued. Sho afterward took poison.” Prince William has been advised by bis physicians to take a tour in the spring to Scotland or Norway on account of ill health. In a six days' match between bicyclists ami cowboys mounted on mustangs, at London, the former wen, making 891 miles to 982, but winning on a foul. A cable dispatch from Paris says that, “On the proposal of the Minister of War ; President Carnot, acting on the unanimous I advice of the officers who conducted the court-mar aal, has signed a decree placing ; Gen. Boulanger on the retired list of the I army. The proposal had previously been considered by the Council of Ministers.” The Sultan of Zanzibar is dead. He 1 wasn’t much of a monarch, anyhow, and ' as ihe supply of ivory will not be affected by his death the event will not make much of a disturbance. , i GENERAL. A dispatch from Gravenhurst, Ontario, says that a freight-train going south and a snow-plow coining north collided a few miles south of that place. Seven men were instantly killed and five seriously injured. Among the killed was George i Wilson, roadmaster. । In the United States Court the Chicago । and Rock Island Company filed a bill charging the Burlington with frying to take ! advantage of the strike and form a combination of all the Western roads to promote the railroad trust. Some of the allo, gations border on the sensational, and they will all be heard by Judge Gresham at Chicago in time. Minister Phelps will sail for America in a few days, having been given two months’ leave of absence. S. C. Schilling, a barber who claims to have been mistreated by the Mexicans, has filed claims for $200,000 against the Mexican Government. A. G. Spalding, of Chicago, intends to send two base-ball teams to Australia and introduce the game there. Ali the arrangements are completed, and the teams will start next fall. Tascott is now’ said to be tn the moun- , tains of British Columbia. He has probably climbed a tree and pulled it up after him. Anything to bent the Chicago detectives. The father of Miss Fellows, reported us engaged to the Indian Chaska, says bis daughter wrote him that she was about to marry Mr. Samuel Campbell, who has a slight trace of Indian blood in his veins, from which source sprung tho story that she was to wed the full-blooded Sioux. A STRONG case of complaint against the authorities of the Mexican town of Janos is made out in the repoit which United I States Marshal Meade, of Arizona, has forwarded to Secretary Bayard. The Marshal and a posse of civil officers bad trailed a gang of train-robbers over the border, and although they of- i sered to pay duty on their anus and horses, and to give every re- i quired proof of the legitimate ehnriieter of their mission, they were put in jail for : fourteen days, and at last released mid de prived of arms and horses, mid compelled ; to make their way buck to Arizona as best ! they could. While in jail they wen treated as malefactors, while the bandits whom they were pursuing had plenty of time to escape. The outrage was unprovoked and unjustified in any point of international law. The magnitude of operations and the profits accruing from the business of furnishing “helio” facilities are something enormous. There were 380,277 instru- > ments of the American Bell Telephone ; Company in use during 1887, producing a I gross rev enue of $3,453,027, while the ex- i pause of maintenance mid operation were | $1,242,430, leaving a profit of $2,210,597. ; By the terms of the agreement with the : Canadian Pacific by which the monopoly : in Manitoba is broken the government is I to take back land to the value of SIO,OOO,- I 000. Tais amount will be spent in improvements. MARKET REPORTS. CHICAGO.

‘'Nasal Voices, Catarrh, and False Teeth.” A prominent English woman says the American women all have high, shrill, nasal voices and false tooth. Americans don’t like the constant twitting they got about this nasal twang, and yet it ii a fact, caused by cur dry, stimulating atmosphere and tho universal presence of catarrhal difficulties. But why should bo many of our women have false teeth'? That is more of a poser to tho English. It is quite impossible to account for it except on tho theory of deranged stomach action, caused by imprudence iu eating and by want of regular exercise. Botii conditions are unnatural. Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail and end in cough and consumption, which are promoted by mal-uutrition induced by deranged stomach action. The condition is a modern one, one unknown to our ancestors who prevented tho catarrh, cold, cough and consumption by abundant and regular use of what is now known as Warner’s laig Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy and l.og Cabin Sarsaparilla, two old-fashioned standard remedies handed down f. in our ancestors, and now exclusively put lorth under the strongest guarantees of purity and efficacy by the world-famed makers of Warner’s safe cure. These two remedies plentifully used as the spring and summer seasons advance give a positive assurance of freedom, both from catarrh and those dreadful and, if neglected, inevitable consequenoas, pneumonia, lung troubles and consumption, which so generally and fatally prevail among our people. Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry County, lowa, served four years in the lute war, and contracted a disease called consumption by the doctors. He bad frequent hemorrhages. After using Warner’s Log Cabin Cough and Consumption remo ly, ho says, under date of Jan. 19th, 1888: “I do not bleed at the lungs any more, my cough does not bother me, and Ido not have any more smothering spells,” Warner’s Log Cabin Rose Cream cured his wife of catarrh, aud she is “sound and well.” Os course wo do not like to have our women called nose talkers and false-toeth owners, but those conditions can be readily overcome in tho manner indicated. (lilting Him Short. Over in the village of Greenbush are two bright little fellows, brothers, aged respectively (> and 10, whose father always says grace before meals. The other day the father was necessarily absent from dinner, and the elder brother concluded to take upon himself the responsibility of blessing the food. The family bowed their heads and the boy proceeded, but in a style that seemed to promise no immediate ending. The ti-year-old, however, was accustomed to short graces, and was withal quite hungry. After he thought the food had been sufficiently blessed, he straigtened up, and, grasping his knife and fork in his hands, astonished the rest of the diners by shouting “Amen,” ami proceeded unceremoniously to make inroads into the dinner. — Albany Anu: nnl.

Spring Medicine Nearly everybody needs a reliable spring medicine to expel tbe impurities which have accumulated in the blood during tho winter, to keep up strength as the warm weather conies ou. create au appetite and promote healthy digestion. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the most popular and succosstul Spring Medici, e. Try it this spring and you will be convinced of its peculiar merit. “For five years T was sick every spring, but last year took Hood’s Sarsaparilla and have not seen a sick day since." G. W. Sloan, Milton, Masi, Hood’s Sarsaparilla “For a first-class spring medicine my wife and I both think very highly of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. We both took it last spring. It did us a great deal of good, and we felt better throush the hot weather than ever before It cured my wife of sick headache, from which she has sutiered a great deal, and relieved me of a dizzy, tired feeling. I think every one ought to take something to purify the blood before the hot weather comeson, and we shall cert unly take Hood’s Sarsaparilla this spring," J. H. Peirce, Supt, Granite Railway Co., Concord, N. U.
