' SH OUTAGE IS KANSAS i COUNT! TBX1SUBKK BEHIND TO THX jj ' TITHE OF $9,800. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. I Topeka, Kan , April 28. R. P. Gravit, treasurer of Scott county, has been found to be short in his ac count $9,800, and proceedings have been beguu in the Supreme Court against his bond-men to recover the amount. Gravit has been treasurer since the organization of the county. When the quarterly examination of his office was made Wednesday he was found to be Bhort. He was im mediately suspended by the county commissioners, but refused to vacate the office or give an exp anation of the shortage. Jasper's Birthplace. i The Aurora mentioned recently that Sergeant Jasper, the hero who fell at Savannah, was born- not in South Carolina, but in Cleveland county, North Carolina. To the Rev olutionaiy hero a monument was this year ereced at Savannah and the orator read an old letter to prove thai he was born in the lower portion of South Carolina and his ptrents subsequently removed to North Car olina. The oldest citizens near King's Mountain assert that he was born near King's Mountain, as their fathers have frequently shown the chimney! of the house in which Jasper w un born. Tradition says he was reared in that-house, and a Colonial grant now on record of a one hundred and thirty-six acre tract to Jasper's father strenghtens that tradition. Judge acnencK nas investigated this ques tion and his book now in the press Will claim that Cleveland coun-y is hie native place. This grant to Jasper was transferred to Levi ware, a sur veyor who conveyed it to John Fulen- waler and is now owned by Messrs. Hoke & Barton. This grant fortifies the statement in regard to his natal place and we will gladly hear from the old men near King's Mountain who are pos ed in regard to the tra dition. Shelby Aurora.

By Telegraph to the News aud Observer. .Washihqtos, April 28. House. There we.e but thirty-five members present When the House met this morning, and immediately went into committee of the whole ( r. Springer, of Illinois, in the chair), on the tariff bill. ! Mr. Ferrall, of Iowa, addressed the House. He approved a reduction of the revenue by the abolition of the inter nal revenue tax. The time had come, he though ', in the history of the Americad government, for the nation to declare that henceforth it would take no share in the prints of the sale of alooho ic liquors. Mr. Tarsney, of Michigan, said that he belonged to that school of politics which believed in the collection from the pockets of the American people of bo much money as was necessary for the proper and economic adminis tration of the government and of not one doll beyond. He and the gen tleman oh his side of the House were not free traders. They were fair traders. ; They wanted Bimply to equalize ; the burden of taxation. Tneir policy was not destruction, but reduction. He proceeded to argue that the ; present tariff was oppres sive upon the farmers. The discussion was ; priuoipally of a colloquial nature, very little in the way of Bet speeches being a'temptnd. While ! Mr. O Neill of Penaylvani a, had the flxr, Mr. Bvnum inquired whether Mr. O'Neill was in favor of tariff revision. Mr O'Neill replied that he wanted the tariff revised when there was a Be publican President. Mr Ford, of M chigao: Would col the gentleman just as soon call on Bob Iugersoll to write a revision of the Naw Testamen as to call on ihe Bepubliqan party to revise the tariflT (laughter.) Mr. O'Neill saidthat he had merely arisen to; say a word for PnilaJel phia's industries. Yesterday morn ing he had received u ; lutter from a young la.iy about to gfddat, in hich she had saii that she hail beeu designated to speak at her commence ment exercises on "Protection to American industries." (Liugater.) So that this question even entered into the households of American fami les. j Mr. Richardson, of Tens: Did the young lddy ask you for protection ? (Laughter ) Mr. Mdiikin : If the young la ly had asked you for proteoou would you have been a free trader, then T (Laughter.) Mr. O'Neill then declared with em phasis that he ' wa a protectionist of protections s that he was a protec tionist aU over a declaration which was received with laughter and ap plause. Referring to Mr. O'Neill's boast that Pennsylvania cou d be depended upon to give 80,000 majority for the Republican party, Mr Busse'l, of Massachusetts, warned the gentleman to see to it that the majority did not eioeed the total number of votes cast. Mr. Breckenndge, of Ken uoky, said the concrete representative of the protective system was the guard of Pinkerton detectives at Edgar Thompson's steel works for the pur pose of enabling Hungarian emi grants to work while American work men were kept out at the point of guns and revolvers.

AS EMPTY CAPITOL. COKSBBS8MIN AND NEWSPAPER COB3K3 POJfDISTS "IXODCSt'' TO PHII.ADKL PHIA. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washisoton,' April 23. Owing to an exodus of members of Congress and newspaper correspondents to Philadelphia to participate in the ceremonies attending the launching of the "Yorktown" and a dynamite cruiser, the capitol this morning was nearly deserted. But two Senators, Cullom and Blair, put in an appear ance in the Senate chamber and, after a glance at the array of empty seats they retired to their homes. On the House side the harl workiDg com mittee on manufactures, engaged in the investigation of trus's, was the only committee which was able to at tend to business and even that had no quorum. The floor of the House was well nigh empty, not more than thirty-five members being in attend ance when the Speaker called that body to order, and of the small army of ubiquitous newspaper men who UMually congregate in the press gal lery of the House not a corporal's guard remained. - ia ' -i . The Hone Show. Tho managers of the Wake county CatteClnb having decided to make horses a feature of the com ng show, a News and Observer re porter ' pal lied out on a tour of investigation. He was no' more delighted than astonished at the evi dences he found of a bjom in the breeding interest which will, if perse vered in, within n great time put North Carolina abreast of any State in the Union. Even now on the Fairview farm of Capt. B P. Williamson there is a filly wh se pedigree cannot be matched anywhere. The yourjg lady traces in direct lines to Dictator sire, of the mighty trio, Jay-Eye See, Phallas and Director,to Nutwoods,who at 18 years olds dd at public auction for $22,000, to Princess, 6ire of, Trinklet, 2.14, the fastest t otter ever produced by a Hamilton an mare, to Belmont the premier of Wood burn Farm, himself the sire of trotters and whose blood is oreeding on even in the third gen eration, to Alexander's Abdallah, sire of the wonderful G ldsmith Maid and the best son o,f Ha nbletonian to Woodford Mduibriu far and awav the bft repreaeu ative of the bull dog blood of Maiubtino Chu-f and to George Wilkes, kiug of stallions. Iu the line of great brood ma es the youngster traces to CI a, dam of the immortal D xter (He died last week but he's immortal for all that), to Miss Runt-ell, dam f of Maud S to Dearac Maid dam of Editor and Feuos S de and to those wonderfnl mares Woodbine and Black Rose one or the other of which is the greatest brood mare in the Steed Book Such a piece of breeding is worth 1,000 On any farm just for the ad vertisement. In addition to I ene, the dam of this young Princess, Capt. Williamson, has Joyful by Princess, her dam being by Mambrino Star, record 2,28, and sire of Cottage Girl and of the dams of Early Dawn and Jay Bird, Honeysuckle by Happy Me dium from a daughter of Strader's, Cassius M. Clay, Jr., and Miriam by the same great horse from a daughter of the mighty Almont. Also Pearl Lambert by Ben Franklin from a daughter of Highland Gray and a daughter ol Highland whose dam was by Jack Lambert, and two daughters of Mountain Bay. He has also a number of other mires which are in dividually fine specimens. At the head cf his steed Capt. Wil liamson has Franklin Chief by Ben Frank tin, 2 29, s re of lielle Frank lin, 2 28. and Bessie, 2 29?; the dam of FranKlin Chief is by DeSong's Ethan Allen, makiner h m inbred to the Morgan blood. He is a dark chestnut hor?e of wonderful style and beauty, of fine size and grand ac tions. In the bow there will also be seen Dr. McKee's grand horse R )bert Me dium, son of the great Happy Medi um and the McCon'ey mare, dam of Neta Medium. Robert is a young horse of grand looks and has a smooth, frictionless style of going that is cer tain to carry him fast. The appearance of his colts indicates that he has the valuable power of transmitting his excellence to his P'Ogeny. One son of his, owned by Dr. McKee and Mr. Pomeroy, is as fine a piece of horse-flesh as ever stood up and all he needs is time, and not very much time either, to make him a great trotter. After giving the matter mature con sideration, and devoting much study to the problem, Mr. W. if. Batchelor concluded that the horsb needed as a stock horse in this country was one bred very strongly in trotting lines, for the reason that all or nearly all of the good native mares were strongly imbued with running blood. From the records he had formed a very high, opinion of Mean der, son of Belmont and Minerva, and an equally high opinion of the great old head of the Morgan tribe, Daniel Lambert, and bo he wrote to find a son of Meander from a daugh ter of Daniel Lambert. He found one, and the breeding of the young ster was not hurt bv the fact tnar ms second dam was the dam of Belle Franklin. This was marvellous breed- in?, and Mr. Batchelor at once went to see, aud seeing liked, and liking bought, the colt, and Pamlico will show for himself that he is worthy of his lineage, and not all pedigree and no horse. There is, bv the way, one feature in Pamlico's pedigree that de serves special mention. He traces in ! direct line to every one of the first five horses that obtained standard i auk, and to all but three of the first twelve. Several other horses were found of great excellence, but as our columns are not like an omnibus, they must be held for future reference Boalansjar Aa;aln. By Cable to the ews and Observer.
