Bungay, in National Advocate. Mit,4 rowDtnLV OX TEMPERANCE. Mr. Powderly, General Matter Workmen of the Knigbts of Labor, is strongly in favor f the prohibition amendment to the Penn sylvania Constitution. In a recent interview with a represc ntative of the Pittsburg Dis patch, Mr. Powderly is reported as saying: --vl am in favor of the adoption of this con stitutional ninendnif-nt for the reason that the experience of a lite-time lias demonstrated that drunkeuness is a curse. It is the cause of more poverty than anything else that can be named. It Is alleged that poverty is the cause, of drunkenness. That to a certain i3' true. But remove the opportunity to become a drunkard, and jjoverty can go no further in the- direction of loweiing: the family and bringing more poverty to the innocent ones dependent on the parent. It is claimed that we havu.no riht to interfere with the per sonal libt rty of our neighbor. That is tru, but it is also true that our neighbor has no? : right to lntertero with ours, ror the onei tered by thieves, juaij y 11 vo iii't -tji in u;j LLtiiiM'i ev wilii j through prohibition, five others will be more j that tho adoption of this, amendment will throw vast numbers of people out of employ ment, and those who are now in the liquor business will be deprived of their means of earning a livelihood. I grant that it may en tail hardships for such persons; but those i vyno are in uie nquor irainc are conversant; .with the lnwsf business, and should under stand how it can all be readjusted. "The thought does not strike those who sympathize so deeply with -he liquor dealer that no invention is made with machinery that does not throw thousands of workmen out of regular employment and force them to pick up new pursuits. The hardships they have to endure are greater than those which may fail to the lot of the liquor seller, for the latter class of men are better ofi? in the pos session of this world's goods than the me chanic who is displaced by labor saving ma i chinery. y V "I do not think that the adoption of this amendment, will iuterfere in any way with taxes; and if does lessen revenues, although u poor man, I am willing to pay a tax to sup port in idleness the man who now dispenses this hellish stuff, rather than tax the strength - and brain of this State as it is now taxed Dy . ibo rumseiler.

"I was prasent," he said, "and participated in the murder of the three McCoy brothers Talbot, Farmer, and Randolph, Jr. The brothers were taken from a school house in Logan County, W. Va., where they had been guarded for a day and night, and brought over to the Tuj River, which sepa rates West Virginia and Kentucky. ''About fifty feet from the river Carpenter tied them to a paw-paw bush and hung a lan tern over their heads. Bad Anse Hatfield then said to them; 'Boys, if you have any peace to make with your Maker you had better make it.' Talbot and Randolph began praying, but I Farmer did not. Howver,before the boys had j time to finish their prayers John Hatfield shot Farmer dead. Anse then gave the order to fire, and shot as he gave the word, killing Talbot, and then emptying the contents of his revolver into the dead body. Alexander Masser fired and killed Randolph McCoy. The others fol lowed suit, and ajl the bodies were riddled with bullets. After the boys were killed Wall Hatfield administered an oath to all of us, binding us to take the life of the first who Hivnltyi the name of anv who were alonff." .

Henry M. Stanley's letter to the Royal Geo graphical Society was read at a meeting of that body in London. The letter consists mainly of a repetition of what has already been published. He describes at length the various .devices by which the natives endeavored to prevent the advance of the ex pedition. One of them was to dig shallow pits across tha path of the column and fill them with skewers, which were deftly cov ered with leaves. The skewers pierced the feet of Stanley's men, inflicting wounds tljat in many cases developed into gangrenous sores. The men ,who were lamed in this manner were sel dom of further service. ; Mr. Stanley calls the natives "omning rogues," and says that for purposes of ex tortion they always pretended that the coun try was suffering from a famine. The "friendlies," ho says, withheld information, but the. natives wlto were captured by the expedition im parted all they knew. Mr. Stanley believes that the lake he discovered in 1S76 belongs to the Congo. A Town' in Ashes. Almost the entire town of Smithfield, in Johnston County, N. O., was consumed by fire. The only biuldings which remain stand ing are the County Court House and jail and a few dwellings. Every store in the town and many dwellings were "burned. The fire originated about 1 o'clock P. M., and in two hrnirs the town was in ashes. The wind was raging at a terrific rate and the flames swept over the town like a hurri cane. There was no fire department to fight the flames and the people wero powerless to resist the devouring sweep. The total loss is estimated at upward of $100,000. Much of the property was insured. The 'fire originated in the carriage factory of S. R. J. R. Morgan. Its origin is thought to have been accidental. - . "s'i". P-'" . Hamburg's Horror. The body of a boy named Steinfath was found at an early hour in the morning on a road near Hamburg, Germany. The boy's throat had been cut and his abdomen ripped open and his entrails removed. The body was otherwise shockingly mutilated. It had evidently laid in the road throughout the night.

One of these parties surprised the murderer, but he suc ceeded in effecting his escape. 1 i A Death Struggle In Mid-Stream. Tim Mvrv.nnlrl and John Schneider, two Government employes working on the River Improvement Commission, quarreled in a small skiff in the middle of the river opposite St. Louis, Mo.

At Lecsville the marshal arrested a drunken Irishman and put him in the guard hou&e for s0fe keeping. During the night the guard Louse was consumed by fire and the poor unfortunate w as roasted alwe. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but it is thought that when the man awoke and found himself con fined he attempted to burn his way out. He is said to have been a seeing ma chine repairer, and his name is supposed to be John Doyle. The verdict of the coroner's jury was in accordance vyith the above facts. 1 VIKG1H1A.

The great virtue of coilce is that i stimulates aad refreshes, these proper ties being due to caffeine. It also con tains gum an4 sugar, fat, acids, caseine and wood fibre. Like tea, it power fully increases the respiration, but, un like it, does not affect its depth. By its use the iato of the pulse is increased and. the action of the skin diminished. It is a mental stimulus of a high crder. Carried to excess it produces abnormal wakefulness, ii.dizest.on, aci.dj.ty, heart burn, tremors, debility, irritability of temper, trembling, irregular pulse, a kina of intoxication ending in delirium and great injury to the spinal functions.

Last week a man was observed lnrkinc a considerable time before a well-stocked butcher's shop, his eyes rived on a "superb"' leg of mutton, warT ranted to weigh six pounds, and which wa duly dangling from a hook. The suspicious person walked up and down before the shop, and sometimes crossed to the other side of the road, re turning, however, continually "to his mutton," which he at last jerked off its hook by a fine trick of legerdemain and plunged into a canvas bag. The opera tion, although neatly and quiokly per formed, bad been seen by two policemen who thought they had met the "mutton thief " before. At the station the man gave his address in the Ruedes Morillons, whither repaired the two detectires and inquired for the thief. When the door of the room to which they went was half opeced by woman, the omcers waueci in ana were tem porarily overwhelmed by the spectacle which was presented to their gaze. The place was long and narrow. On a table in the centre was a vast heap of provi wons, consisting of beef, mutton, pork, poultry and patej de foie gru. There were game, huge pullets stuped with Perigord tru "r ea, nice necks of lamb and fine turkeys, all waiting to be roasted. After further examination the detec tives discovered ether stolen articles of a misrellaoeous character, which showed that the occupants of the room were members of a b g thieving gang, of which the "mutton-sneak was a daiy qualified member t Betides the woman, an old man and two boys were captured in the tenement. The old man was the trainer of the youth and had hooks put up in one part of the room from which he taught his apprentice to abstract joint of meat or poultry. London Tile-graph.
