H i le i TIRED OF THE TARIFF. i A Life-Long Republican and Manufac- turer Who Will Vote for Cleveland. | John Stephenson, who built the first tram car for the first street car road established anywhere in the world, in this city, for the New York & Harlein railway company, fourth avenue, in 1831, is the latest convert from republicanism to the party of Cleveland and tariff reform, says the New York Times. Mr. Stephenson is now 79 years old, and has voted for every republican candidate for the presidency from Lincoln to} Blaine inelusive, but he announces | his firm determination, if his life is | spared, to vote this time for Cleve- land and Thurman. To a Times reporter he said “The republican party has outlived its usefulness, aud in advocating the maintainance of the present high tariff—higher eyen than during the war—it aims a blow at the business interests of the country. I have been in this business over fifty-seven years and have sold street cars in ev ivilized country in the Svorld. Three years ago I made for the Lon don tramway, (limited)—the corpora- tion owning all the street car lines in London on the Surrey side of the Thames—sixty cars. They were the last I ever made for that company, and I have made but few since that time for any European customers. The tariff on the raw materials that enter into the construction of street cars makes the goods so expensive that the Europeans prefer to make their own cars, although they can not begin to make them as good and light and strong as we do.” Rheumatism and Neuralgia cured in 1to3 days for 75 cents by Detchon’s “Mystic Cure.’ Do not suffer and waste money on other remedies. hts abso lutely never tails.

Oppenhein, a well-known clothing merchant and highly respected young Hebrew citi- zen, aged 28 years. His murderer, one Harry Hudson, is a worthless, quarrelsome — wretch, who, since March last, has lived here and been employed as switchman in the yards of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway in this city. The trou- ble grew out of debts owing by Hud- son to Oppenhein and others, who had garnisheed his wages. The matter had been arranged to the satisfaction of all parties, as it was thought, but this morning Hud- son renewed the quarrel with Op- penhein, and struck him, the latter making no resistance. At noon Hud- son again went to the store and re- newed the trouble, when Oppenhein turned away without speaking to him, whereupon Hudson whipped out a revolver and shot him, the ball entering his head back of his left ear. He uttereda scream and fell to the floor, and died two hours later without regaining consciousness. Hudson was immediately arrested by a citizen and turned over to thesher- iff. The murder has created intense excitement and indignation in the community, but there is no disposi- tion to mob the wretch, as recent events haye satisfied the people that legal hanging is not played out in Missouri. Little is known of Hudson here. He is 32 years old, rough, and claims St. Louis as his home. The wife of | the murdered man is visiting friends in Marshall, Mo., but has been noti- fied by telegraph and will arrive to- morrow morning.

It had some characteristics of ty- phoid fever and some of malaria. and whole families were attacked. The malady was lingering and the victims rarely died under six or seven days. In the course of a fortnight nearly every family in town was affected and the death rate became alarming. Many families left town. Business is almost paralyzed and funeral processions are almost constantly in the streets. The physicians are nearly all worn out and medicine seems to do no good. The disease does not appear to be infectious except to residents here. This leads to the belief that the dis- ease germs are in the water. The town is very old and has no system of drainage. The number of deaths is now embracing both sexes and all ages. The population of the place is 1,800. Country people are atraid to come to town to trade, andit is feared a number of merchants will be com- pelled to assign. Kimball's Name on a Saloon Petition Nevada, Mo., Aug. 28.—H. B.

Washington, Aug. 29.--The ques- tion of appropriations for public buildings was again taken up and discussed in the senate to-day. Mr. Berry denied the statement made yesterday by Mr. Hale as to the pre- ference given to southern states over northern states and remarked that the state of Maine with 300,000 less population than Arkansas had receiv- ed 2 millions more for public buildings. He also resented other charges made against the adminis- tration for want of economy and up- braided the republican senators for their support of such extravagant measures as the Blair educational bill, the direct tax bill, the depend- ent pension bill and the proposition to subsidize steamships. He char- acterized Mr. Hale’s argument as | “not fair polities.” Costly Fight Over Two Calves.

In 1886, the year I was in Hindo- stan, over 22,000 people died from snake bite, and it is about the aver- age number of deaths from that cause. More than 900 persons were killed-by tigers and more than 200 by wolves. Of course the people on the other hand do all the killing they can. Between 1,500 and 2,000 tigers are killed every year, and on an ay- erage about 410,500 serpents and 4,000 leopards. The exact figures are known, of course, because the government pays a bounty for the destruction of these pests.
