Secretary "'imlom.
The startling deplorable death of
Secretary Windom, becomes a personal
bereavement to quite a large number
in Norwalk. Lieut.-Gov. Yale, of Min-
nesota, who left here many years ago,
was a student in Mr. \Vindom’s law of-
fice at TyVinona, and subsequently a law
partner of his. The late Mr. Arthur
H. Bissell. was attached to Mr. \Vin—
dom’s law oflice for several years prior
to his leaving Minnesota, and Ex-U.
S. Treasurer Hyatt, who served for
some time under him in the Treasury
Department, felt the sincerest attach-
ment to him, as did every one who ever
came in contact with him. He had
been for more than thirty years a warm
personal friend of the Editor of this
paper and had been a guest at his Nor—
walk home.

Divorce Sharks.
Buttner and Hughes, the New York
divorce sharks, were sentenced to Sing
Sing, Friday, the former for seven
years and the latter for five. The ex—
posure of these two scoundrels was an-
other excellent piece of newspaper
work. The Sun got on their track and
followed them up until it landed both
behind thebars. They had drawn men
and women into their net, had taken
th ‘ir money and issued fraudulent di-
vorces, which in itself is a crime. Be-
sides this they forged signatures of
court officers and even the county seal,
which constituted other crimes. The
two scoundrels got off easy. A double
dose would not have been too much.

How to Feed :1. Hog.
The \Visconsin Agricultural station
has been making some careful experi—
ments on the value of bone and phos-
phate food for hogs, with the result that
when a hog is fed on phosphate foods
mixed in with its other rations a saving
of nearly 28 per cent. of corn is effected,
and the animal’s bone strength is dou-
bled.
The experiments were made as fol-
lows:
The plan of the experiment was to
feed corn to several lots of growing pigs
in addition to water and salt. The first
let received nothing; additional, the sec-
ond. was fed a little ground bone daily,
the third was allowed free access 1") a
trough of hardwwd ashes. As ti: ‘ av-

Points of Interest.
Dr. XV. F. Roth writes to The Ameri-
can Poultry Yard that the man who says
clover is a valuable food for poultry be-
cause it contains so much lime is away
off. A chemical analysis of clever shows
no carbonate of lime at all.
A poultry house should always have a
thoroughly dry cellar underneath for
hatching; It should be light.
Don’t feed a dry cow through the win-
ter.
The country is becoming more and
more crowded up and conditions of life
become harder. The farmer and stock
raiser who succeed must calculate close-
1y their plans, and look more and more
sharply after markets and economic
methods.
Always change your farming and
stock raising methods to keep up with
the times.
Mr. Hill, of Valverde farm, in Colo-
‘ado, has a young St. Lambert cow which
he. expects will yield three pounds of
butter a day by the time she is 3 years -
old.
Signor Crispi Threatens to Resign
the Premiership.
DEFEATED IN THE CHAMBER
The Prilne BIinister bIakes the Announce-
ment of His Intention—The King,
However, Declines to Pernlit His
Retirement at the Present.
Rom, Feb. 2.—-In the debate Saturday i
in the chamber of deputies on the spirit
taxes bill Signor Crispi urged that the
taxes proposed by the government were
imperatively necessary to prevent Italy .
from falling again to the servile condition
she was in, as regards foreign powers, in
1874.
The Conservative members of the cham-
. her who were in office in 1874 protested in
an uproarious manner against the lan-
guage of the prime minister. Finally the
present minister of public works, who was
a member of the cabinet in 1874, left the
treasury bench amid much enthusiasm on
the part of the Conservatives.
Signor Crispi was greatly agitated and
became deadly pale. He tried to explain
his words, but could not be heard above
the howls of his opponents. The bill was
finally rejected, a large majority of the
members voting against it.
When the result of the vote was made ‘
known Signor Crispi announced that he
would resign. The crisis is complete. It
is doubtful whether Signor Crispi will be
able to‘l‘econstruct the cabinet.
King Humbert received Premier Crispi,
but declined to accept his resignation until
he had further considered the situation.
Signor Grimaldi, minister of finance, had
submitted a bill increasing the tariff on
certain imports and the tax on the manu-
facture of alcohol. In expectation of a
strong opposition being made to the bill,
the house i 'as crowded, and all the minis-
ters were in their places. A large number
of members spoke on the bill. Signor =
Martini offered to vote for the measure if 1
the government would guarantee a re- 2
duction of the expenditures in Africa.
pressed themselves as uncompromisingly
opposed to the bill. Signor Dirudini said
he would support the measure, although
be doubted the efficacy of the government’s
financial measures. In his opinion larger
economies ought to be made. in respect to
the army and navy. Signor Lizzati, in re- ~
ply, stated that the budget commit-tee
with the government.
Signor Villa moved to proceed to the 1
order of the day, and the government ac-
cepted the motion. The division on the
motion resulted in its rejection by a vote
of 186 to 123.
VENGEANCE OF A IVIOB.
Negro Miners Surrounded \leile Asleep
and Rutlilessly Shot Down.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 2,—A mob met
Friday night at Carbon Hill coal mines in
Walker county, forty miles west of this
city, and surrounded a cabin where nine
negros were sleeping. ‘Without warning
they fired through the doors and windows.
The negroes sprang up in alarm at the
first volley, but in a few moments all of
them were lying on the floor dead or
wounded. There was no chance of escape.
Four were killed outright, and three of the
others are probably fat-ally hurt.
The mob dispersed at once, and so far
none of them has been arrested or identified.
The nine negroes had taken the place of
the striking white miners in the Carbon
Hill mines. \Vhen the strike was settled
the company would not discharge them.
\Vhite miners are suspected of the murder,
but there is no proof against them. The
officers of the company say they will pro-
tect their miners without regard to color.

PLAINFIELD, N. J ., Feb. 2.—Ex-Mayor
Job Male, of this city, who died on Thurs-
day night, leaving a large estate, left an
unsigned will. At his deathbed there were
present two doctors, a nephew, 3. niece, and
two intimate friends. At the dying man’s
request Corporation Counsel Craig was
summoned, but while the will was being
written Mr. Male died. The unsigned will
makes provision that none of his property
shall be sold before the expiration of five
years. It makes bequests to the Job Male

Male owned, it is said, more than seventy
houses in Plainfield, besides much valua-
ble property in Jersey City. He leaves no
relatives nearer than his nephew and niece.

Is He the Champion Smoker?
SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa, Feb. 2.—A novel
wager was entered into between two work-
men in a stone quarry in Salisbury town-
ship, two miles from here, a few weeks
ago. In a discussion as to the amount of
tobacco each consumed daily, one wagered
that he could smoke a pound and a half of
the weed in twenty-four hours. The bet, a
keg of beer and a quart of whisky, was
taken up by the other, and on Thursday
the smoke enduring feat began. At the
end of the sixteenth hour the last grain
of the tobacco disappeared in smoke, and
the smoker won with eight hours to spare.
The smoker appeared none the worse for
his feat, but was the largest consumer of
the beer.

THE CRISIS ' IN" ITALY.
MET AT THE BANQUET.
Ex-Presldent Cleveland and Governor Bill
Again Face to Face.
’NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—At the dinner given
. Saturday night at the Manhattan club by
‘ Senator William L. Brown to the govern-
ors of the club and a few guests ex—Presi—
3 dent Cleveland and Governor Hill met face
to face. The centennial banquet at the
g hfetropolitan Opera house two years ago
. was the occasion of their last- meeting.
Since that time they have been as strangers,
and the many things said and written of
the two men only tended to widen the
breach.
To this condition of affairs was due the
great interest taken in their present meet-
ing. The general opinion was that one or
the other of the two gentlemen would (18-
cline at the last moment, but both were
there.
Ex-President Cleveland arrived early and
lnoved about among the guests, shaking
hands and conversing in a most pleasant
manner. At precisely {.5 o’clock Governor
Hill was announced. As he entered the
room every one arose and applauded. The
governor advanced to his seat, bowed to
Senator Brown, then looking directly at
Mr. Cleveland he smiled and bowed to that
individual, who returned the salute, and
then with a bow to the rest present he sat
down, as did the others. No embarrass—
ment or ill feeling was apparent in the
actions of either one of the two men, who
were closely watched by all present. The
dinner and general conversation were then
resumed. It was understood at the outset
that no speeches were to be made.
There were set speeches and the dinner
passed off in the most harmonious manner.
\thn the informal talks began, Mr. Cleve
land arose and proposed the toast, “The
United States Senator-elect from New
York.” He then in a short speech praised
the governor’s official record. Afte ward
the governor in response drank to the
health of the ex-president of the United
States, and told with what good grace he
looked upon Mr. Cleveland’s administra-
tion.
As the party left the table each of the
Democratic Chieftains was kept busy shak-
ing hands. Cleveland and 1 [ill thus natur-
ally edged their way toward each other.
At last they met. They gazed earnestly at
each other. Then both clasped hands amid
an impressive silence. They spoke a word
or two, but what they were no one had
heard. It was an embarrassing moment,
and then both separated and chatted with
,. . . . -. ' other friends.

urday the credentials of Mr. Cameron for
the new term commencing on March 4
next were received and placed on file. A
committee of seven was appointed to rep-
resent the senate at Secretary lViudom’s
funeral. A number of bills were taken
from the calendar and passed, and then the
army appropriation bill was taken up and
after discussion was also passed. The for-
tification bill was taken up, but no prog-
ress was made with the bill, and the sen-
ate adjourned until }.ionduy at 2 p. m. in
order that members might attend the fu-
neral of Secretary lVindom.
The house passed the military academy
bill and then took up the consular appro-
priation bill. Mr. McCreary (Ky) made a
speech in which, touching upon the Beh—
ring sea case, he urged prompt action by
the government to secure a settlement of
the vexed question by arbitration. “'ith-
out action on the bill the committee rose
and the house adjourned until 2 p. lll. Mon-

Another Political Assassination Feared.
\VAIISAW, Feb. 2.——Rumors are circulat-
ing in Polish circles to the effect that the
Russian nihilists are preparing for another
political assassination. It is said that
March 10—the anniversary of the assassi-
nation of Czar Alexander—is the date
agreed upon for the attempt. .‘he method
to be adopted by the nihilists in the effort
to accomplish their purpose will, it- is us-
serted, be similar to that resorted to in the
case of Gen. Seliverstofi', the Russian po—
lice agent recently killediu Paris. Rus-
sian police agents in the empire and
throughout Europe have been instructed
to use extraOrdinary vigilance. Among
those suspected of participation in the
preparation of the plot are a number of
Russian refugees now living in Bulgaria.
An Insurance Company Assigns.
CHICAGO, Feb. 53.——Thc Consolidated Mu-
tual Fire Insurance company has made an
assignment to its vice president, George H.
Richey. The deed of assignment states
that the assets are $13,205.04 and the lia—
bilities $100,000. State Auditor Pavcy about
a month ago, after an examination of the
- company’s affairs, decided that all the con—
tested claims the company had, and in
which there was litigation pending, should
be included among the liabilities, and that
a reserve of the face. value of the policies
should be deposited in bank. In addition
to that he gave the company but twenty
days in which to procure the money. The
company was unable to comply with the
auditor’s requirements and therefore made
the assignment.
