James Batty, of Dnlnth, Minn., Disappears Under Mysterious Circumstances. James Batty, traveling auditor and car accountant of the St. Paul & Duluth Railtoad, has disappeared. On the 9th of March he left his home in Duluth, and nothing has been heard of him since. At the time of his disappearance he had in bis possession about $1,200 with which he was to lift a mortgage from a piece of Minneapolis proper.y. The mortgage rem> i s unpaid. Mr. Batty was about to go on a vacation and railroid passes had been given him. Ihe passes all expired on the 20th ult „ none of them having been t ken up. 'The possession of the money leads his family to fear that he has been foully dealt with. ALGER’S BIG COAL FIELDS. To Expend $1,000,000 in Developing the Rich Tennessee Tracts. The land purchase in Tennesseo by General Alger, who is associated with Messrs. Foraker and James G. Blaite in the transactions, turns out to be a vast coil field. On 7,500 acres of the total tract of 15,000 acres purchased, there are three distinct veins or very fine bituminous coal. The company will aim to supply the entire region south to the Gulf. A nariow gauge railway will be built to connect the mines with the Tennessee River, and the coal will be floated to New Orleans. To get the opening made and'the mines in proper shape will cost, together with the purchase money, $1,000,000. PEACE EXPECTED IN HAYTI. Legitime Makes Overtures to Hyppolite, and Hostilities Are Liki ly to Cease. Mb, Hattstedt, of Jimmines, Hanstedt & Co., tbe New York representative of Hyppolite, says that it is very probable that peace will be declared in Hayti. Information had reached him, he said, by the steamer George W. Clyde that the commission recently appointed by Legitime to visit Hyppolite and bring about an end to hostilities had seen the leader of the north. Hyppolite had expressed himself as well pie ised with the terms submitted by Legitime. Within a week Mr. Hanstedt expected that Haytfwould be at peace. They Failed to Get There. Os the 350 nominations sent to the Senate during the special session by President Harrison the following were rejected: Murat Halstead, to be Minister to Germany; and Isadore S. Loventhal, to be Postmaster at Modesto, Cal. The following remained unacted upon (and therefore died): William H. Whiteman, to be Associate Justice of the Territory of New Mexico; Edwin I. Kursheedt, to be Marshal for the Eastern District of Louisiana; and these Postmasters: Kittrill O. Balders, at Minot, D. T.; Carl C. Crippen, at Eustis, Fla.; Burt C. Drake, at Gainesville, Fla.: Robert F. Rebout, at Rushville, Ind.; George E. Nicholson, at Hess City, Kansas; and Samuel C. Moore, at Findlay, Ohio. During the special session of the Senate at the beginning of President Cleveland’s term, sixteen of his nominations failed to rece ve confirmation, but there were no rejections. Four State Tickets. A. Providence (R. I.) special of the 3d inst. says: The figures on the State election are not all yet in, but it is probable that no choice has been made by the people. This result has been brought about by the appearance of four State tickets in the field. The fourth party was organized to prevent the resubmission of the prohibition amendment to the people. The Legislature is probably Republican. Returns from thirty towns out of thirty-six give Davis (Dem.), 10.H94; Ladd (Rep.), 9,174; Richardson (Pro.), 903; Chace (fourth party), 1,962. Davis lacks 1,835 of a majority. St. Louis Gas. It is reported from St. Louis that the Vanderbilts, with August Belmont, Laird Bros., and a Philadelphia syndicate, have closed a deal for the purchase of the gasworks of the city of St. Louis. Belmont is supposed to represent the London Rothschilds. The deal will amount to about $10,000,000. Railroad Directors Elected. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Southern Pacific Railroad, held at San Francisco, the old Board of Directors was re-electel, with the exception of S. F. Stillman and A. N. Towne, vice Timothy Hopkins, resigned, and Cl aries Crocker, deceased. One hundred millions of stock was represented. The Result of a Quarrel. During an altercation between John Banta and William Atkinson, of Logansport, Ind., Atkinson’s pistol was knocked from his hand by a bystander, and was discharged, the ball striking another bystandei in the head, inflicting a serious though not fatal wound. General Greely's Report. In a special report, in answer to a Senate resolution, General Greely, of the Signa 1 Office, states that Oregon and Washington are “favored with a climate of unusual mildness and equability,” and that the “conditions favor to a marked extent the growth of most cereals and other important staples.” EASTERN OCCURRENCES. The house of Elder S. Greene, Springfield, Mass., was burned, his granddaughter, Ida Greene, aged 14, perishing in the flames. A break in the Erie Canal, near Medina, N. Y., did much damage to surrounding farms. John A. Duff, the well-know theatrical manager, died at his home in New York City. He was attacked with a stroke of paralysis in the box office of the Standard Theater, of which he was manager, just before the opening of the matinee performance, falling from a chair and to all appearances lifeless. He suffered Irom apoplexy and paralysis of the left side, and was s; eechless. The New York, Mahoning and Western Railway and the Ohio, Indiana and Missouri Valley Road have been consolidated under tbe name of the American Midland. Mr. William Thorpe, of New York, is the new President. Ex-President Cleveland, Charles Coudert, and Leicester P. Holme have been appointed commissioners in the High Bridge Park case, at New York. Db. H. M. Cox, convicted of causing the death of Jennie Osborne by malprac-

tice, surrendered at the prison at Easton, 1 Pa., to serve his three years’ sentence. j A big landslide occurred in Pittsburg, i Pa. A huge mass of rocks and clay at the top of a hill started and slipped down, ; , covering part qf the Baltimore and Ohio tracks and Second avenue. Nearly half of Bluff street slipped away, and it is p thought that some of the pioperty along i that thoroughfare is in danger. The j , debris covered the railroad track and Sec- | ond avenue to the depth of several sept. | The telegraph wires were broken and travel ; : stopped. For half an hour after the slide ■ occurred rocks continued to roll down the i hill. Fortunately no one was injured. Robbers broke into the old State I House at New Haven, Conn., entered the j j rooms of tho Historical Society, and car- । ried off Admiral Foote's sword, which is < studded with gems and valued at $6,000. Jacob H. Dimmiok, post age-stamp agent at New York City, has been removed for neglect of duty. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. John Fox, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mrs. George Middlecoff and Mr. George । Fox, of Paxton, 111., will each receive j $267,000 through the death of their sis- j ter, Mrs. B. F. Marsh, at Cincinnati, a * few days ago. Sho died intestate, leav- I ing a fortune of SBOO,OOO. Asa Kellogg, General Agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad at Cincinnati, committed suicide at the Southern Hotel, St. Louis, Mo. He retired at 2 o'clock p. m., leaving instructions to be called at a late hour next morning, and his failure to respond when the bellboy rapped ior him first aroused suspicion that ail was not right, and the door was forced. Kellogg was found dead in his bed, and an empty bottle which had contained two ounces of laudanum stood on the mantel. A note written on tbe back of a Southern Hotel envelope was found. It was as follows: 1 have fought the battle and lost. Bury me and say as little about me as possible. A fool is better soon forgotten. During a drunken quarrel at Topeka, Kan., Morris Keating shot and killed Tom Maguire. Miss Cheery Dye was killed at Zionville, Ind., by a rock hurled by dynamite in blasting. Monroe Lasater and his wife Amanda, of Jackson. Mo., have been arrested for the murder of their 14-mouths-old child. Lasater recently went erazy, and claimed he had been commanded by God to preach. He made his wife strangle the child, claiming that it would be resurrected in three days, and pinion the body to a tree. He afterward took the body down and when arrested he had been carrying the dead child in his arms for two days. At Mansfield, Ohio, Harvey R. Messmore has sued the New York, Lake Erie and Western Road for $50,000 damages. He had been put off a train by a conductor, and was knocked off a trestle by another train, his arms being broken by the fall. During the progress of a gune called “tramp,” at Parkston, D. T., Bessie Rhinehart, a 12-year-old girl, in sport, fired a shotgun at Mary Watson, a playmate, killing her instantly. In the United States Court at Topeka, Kan., Judge Foster made a decision in the case of Thaddeus H. Walker, of New York, against M. Stenbans, Frank Kronkhite, and Jas. Haycock, of Lyon County. The actions are brought to iecover a large amount of Lyon County real estate, valued at $350,000. In 1871, 1871, 1873, and 1874 the courts of many counties in Kansas rendered judgments against Walker in large amounts, and his property was sold to satisfy such claims. Among other buyers was au Emporia man named George Kimball, and he finally turned the property over to tbe defendants named above. Walker in his suit sought to eject these men, claiming that the judgment of the District Court of Lyon County was null. Judge Foster thinks differently, however, and has filed a decision in favor of the defendants. Fire at Des Moines, lowa, damaged the dry-goods house of the Capital City Woolen Mills to tho extent of SB,OOO. The loss is nearly covered by insurance. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

circulation dnring| the month of March, and a net increase of $368,059 in money and bullion in the Treasury during the same period. The increase in circulation was mainly in silver certificates and United States notes. The total circulation I Apiil I is stated at $1,406,481,676, and the total money and bullion in the Treasury i on the same date at $657,815,286. The special Senate commitlec on rela- : tions with Canada will meet in Chicago May 3. The members of the committee are Senators Hoar, Allison, Hale, Dolph, Pugh, Butler, and Voorhees. Commissioner Tanner has issued a ruling that when a pension certificate shall have been issued and the beneficiary is found to have died before payment, the amount due shall be paid to the pensioner’s widow or minor children. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. Jud Pritchett, who assaulted a small white girl near Danville, Va., in June last, was hanged at Chatham. He was a strong negro, about 30 years old, and when the officers attempted to spring the trap on him he fought like a tiger. Four deputies were called to assist in the awful deed. The prisoner fell down and lay prostrate on the scaffold, clinging to the framework. The trap was finally sprung, and by main force the deputies pushed him off tho saffold after the rope had been tied about his neck, 'rhe struggles of the condemned man lasted fully eleven minutes. Under the new statute, the body was shipped to the University of Virginia for dissection. On a schooner at Baltimore, in a quarrel over finding a cockroach in the soup, Theodore Nona, -a sailor, fatally shot, the colored cook, Loudon Johnson. Four Americans went from El Paso, Texas, to Juarez, Mexico, became drunk and disorderly, and, resisting arrest, shot and killed two policemen. They escaped to the American side. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. The bill providing for reciprocity in wrecking on the lakes has been defeated in the Canadian Senate—34 to 26. The Postmaster General has appointed the following superintendents of railway mail service: Norman Parkins, Tenth Division, St. Paul; S. P. Lindsey, Seventh Division, St. Louis: J. S. Weaver, Eleventh Division, Fort Worth, Texas. Judge McCue, Assistant Treasurer at New York, has resigned. Henry W. Raymond, editor of the Germantown (Pa.) Telegraph, has been appointed Private Secretary to Secretary of the Navy Tracy. FRESH AND NEWSY. The following deaths have been reported: Lord Fiazer, Judge of the Outer House of the Scotch Court of Sessions; Dr. John Swineburn, at Albany, N. Y.; Dr. R. P. Howard, of Montreal, Quebec: and Richard Hiscock, father of Senator Hiscock, at Preble, Cortland County, New York. Thf. brig Solaria, which arrived at New York the other day from Hayti, reports’ "We left Port-au-Prince on March l(t On that day tbe city was very excited over tbe news that at that moment Legitime's gunboats were bombarding Gonaives. Three of the gunboats, the Belize, the Dessaliues, and the Toussaint L’Overture, was said to be doing terrible damage. The bombarding had been going on for some hours, and it was thought that the town would be entirely destroyed.” Reports of several decisive battles were brought by the German steamship Prins Hans Frederick from Port-au-Prince. Late advices from the City of Mexico say the Board of Health of that city has pronounced American 1 ird an adulteration, unfit for use, and prohibited its sale. This action has been sustained by Minister Rubio, and will be effective throughout the republic, and instructions have been given to all custom houses to bar the product out. R. G. Dun & Co.’s review of trade for last week says: The general tendency of reports indicates that trade is both improving and hopeful. At Omaha business is very good, at Kansas City and UUi cago fair, and at Cleveland larger than last y nr, though profits aro smaller. Rapid growth of tributary regions accounts for improvement at far Western points. All the interior money markets are well supplied. No material change appears in collections. Two considerable failures at Milwaukee are attributed to bad collections. In the woolen trade there is some increase in demand and wool is more firmly held. The firmness in cotton goods abates with tbe termination of the great Fall River strike. The iron trade is weaker. The coal market is pronounced the dullest for ten years. At Pittsburgh closing of the Monongahela mines for a fortnight is contemplated, and the trade has been bad and grows । worse. The glass business is also depressed. Another decline in wheat, 3% for the week. Corn . and oats are unchanged, and pork products a । shade strong. Sugar is in active demand. Coi’j fee is unchanged. Cotton has risen a shade. I Once more the week shows a decrease in the I average prices of all commodities, which are a third of 1 per cent, lower than a week ago. The । supply of money is ample. Foreign trade | in February showed an increase of nearly j 6 per cent, in exports. The weakest point of I late has been the stock market, which lias dei clined about $1 per share for the week, with I fumors of receiverships, and large selling by inI vestors on account of past mismanagement and ; losses. The selling on foreign account if long ■ continued would affect the monetary prospect, ■ and it is growing clearer that the interstate law as amended has not increased the confidence of security-holders. The business failures numbered 240, as compared with a total of 249 last week and 261 for the previous week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 223. MARKET REPORTS, CHICAGO.

Shrewd Advertisers. Readers of the newspapers of ths df»V ' cannot fail to be impressed with the fact that tho modern advertiser is progressive. , Ho is compelled to be. else competitors, I more active in the invention of new adver- | 1 tising devices, will outstrip him in public । j favor. The value of printers’ ink .judiciously and ! I scientifically employed cannot bo overesti- j j mated: it is the medium whereby a meri- j torious discovery is raised from local tame to a position in tho public esteem. Henee the columns of the newspapers aro daily used by hosts of advertisers, and in the competition which is indulged in to attain the desired end, the reader is oftentimes .unused. Tho greatest of American advertisers, and it may as well be said in the world, is 11. H. Warner, of Rochester, N. Y.. whose name has been macle everywhere familiar in connection with Warner's Safe Cure, widely advertised because' of its merit in the prevention and cure of kidney diseases. By printers’ ink this great discovery has achieved world-wide popularity, and thousands feel grateful for the knowledge thus acquired of this greatest of modern remedies. Furthermore, the public has been taught that disorders of the lungs, brain, heart, and liver which have hitherto been regarded and treated by the profession as distinctive diseases are not so in fact, but are the attending symptoms of disease of the kidneys; therefore, the consumptive, the apoplectic. the paralytic, and the sufferer from nervous disorders can be restored to health by Warner's Safe Cure, which will remove the true cause of those disorders by restoring the kidneys to healthy fiction. The advertising methods employed by this greatest of advertisers are invariably instructive, and, although the reader may sometimes be “caught” in reading an advertisement. which was not at first supposed to be such, there is nevertheless no time lost, since useful information is invariably gained concerning life’s great problem. Jewelry that Men Wear. The ultra-fashionable young man wears a good deal of jewelry, for his gold matchbox, with its uncut rubies, sapphires, and diamonds upon it, may be counted among his jewels, while the silver cigarrette case, carefully euam■w>led in white ami showing on its white background a pivttv ballet girl in black, must lie considered another. On the little finger of his left hand he wears a heavy gold ring in which is imbedded either a ruby or a sapphire, but never both, and above this he likes to have a somewhat worn wedding ring, which he can attribute to his grandmother, for he is not above proving that he has one. About his neck I is a long, slender gold chain, very fine and very closely woven; on this is a little heart, incrusted with diamonds on one side, and having on the other, behind a clear bit of glass, the face of the woman to whom he has sworn eternal allegiance. White enameled buttons and links are in best (aste for evening wear, and, indeed, are worn | by many men all the time, though in ! reality the plain gold buttons are : proper for the day time. The Stomach IlistilN Acids. These, if existent in a imltind quantity, aud I unvitiated by bile, play their part in the functions of digestion and assimilation. But the artificial acid resuitim. from the inability of tlie I stomach to convert food received by it into susi tenaneo, is the producer of fiatulenci and heart--1 burn, which are the most harassing symptoum j of dyspepsia. The best carminative is Ilostet- ■ ter s Stomach Bitters. Fur more < ifeetive is it than carbonate of soda, mir:m>ui or other alkaline salts. These invariably weaken the stomach without producing permanent benefil. No man or woman chronically dyspeptic, and consequently nervous, can be in jKsssessioii of the lull measure of vigor allowed by nature. Therefore, invigorate and regulate the system, and by so doing protect it from malaria, rheumatism, and other serious maladies. I or n Rainy Day.

A TRAVELIK4 MAN Creates Great Excitement in the Empire House. Independence, lowa, Oct. 14, 1888. Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich.: Gents —Your Mr. Brooks camo hero tonight and registered as agent tor Hibbard s Rheumatic Syrup, and as he did so it awakened in me an interest never before realized in a guest at my house. You will not wonder at it when I tell you the story, ror years I have been greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism, the pain and soreness of the joints at times being almost unbearable; could move about only with the use of crutches. In addition to this, my stomach became badly diseased, and neuralgia set in, which threatened to end my days. A traveling man stopping with me gave quite a history of your Syrup, and the peculiarities of its combination, which induced mo to try it. I have taken six bottles, and no act in my life affords me greater satisfaction than in writing you that I am a well man. It will boa pleasure for me to answer any communications, for I believe it to be the best remedy ever formulated. A. J. Bowley, Proprietor Empire House. Independence, lowa.

BgOjsiF Tliis Inhaler consists of a powerful Magnetic Coil inclosing a supply ot pure Japanese Crystals of Menthol, the whole incased in polished rubber with nickeled removable caps. Sufferers are scarcely aware that Catarrh is due to the presenca of microbes in the mucous membrane lining the nose and throat. After one or two simple inhalations the microscope will show in the catarrhal mucus dead forms of the parasites which, before the inhalations, were seen to be alive and active. They can oulv exist in membranes that are below the healthy standard. It is for the want ot the understanding of these facts that the cure of Catarrh is made difficult. For a permanent cure it is necessary not only to kill the germ but also to strengthen the membrane. This is accomplished by the electric force stored up in the Magnetic Coil, being the most powerful natural tonic to the weakened tissues. Speakers and vocalists will find the Inhaler very beneficial in strengthening the voice, rorwarded by mail on receipt of the price by D. 0. GALLEAR A 'Nt Franklin street, Chicago, 111.
