Washington, July 31, 1897.
All obstHcles to prosperity have
been' removed. It has a clear.-'
track. After the lone wrangle
over the Dinefey bill and the
care 'with which it was scroti-j
nized. many inconsistencies are
apparent. Some of the para
graphs are absolutely inconsis
tent. For instance plums in one
paragraph are taxed at 25 cents
a bushel and in another at 2
cents oer pound. The Trcisurv
busv making sucn
thine straight.
Another section hxes the rate
of duty on "hides o( cattle at
15 per cent, aim admits raw
skins free. The importers are
coutenJing thnt' calf skins arc
not hides ot cattle aim netnanri
their free entry. As the days go
by new muddles appear.
At the same time several law
suits have been started by the
importers to evade the payment
of duties ougoods brought into
the country on Saturday, July
24th. This amounts to over
$40,0(50
THI5 STRIKE IN THE COAL REGION.
Although the administration
has been besccchcd to intervene
in the strike and settle the diffi
culties now disturbing the c-.nl
industry, it has preserved a mas
terly in activity. The purpose
seems to be that the trouble
shall continue until some of the
hot headed miners commit some
act that will iustilv the interfer
ence of -the troopsj then the
strike can be out down with a
strong hand," A dozen different
methods nave oeen pointed um
to President McKinley .whereby
he could lend tne power 01 ms in
fluence on the side of peace, but
he prefers that the trouble should
ferment.! If bloodshead occurs

and the county commissioners
will apply the screws, and use
the law imnosinz a penalty for
non payment of taxes by Sep
tember, a deficit may be averted
this year. To secure such co
operation was probably the
main object of the gathering. It
develops also that some Sheriffs
will use the "pay your taxes or

Washington,. July 28. Pres
ident McKinley has promulgated
the following important amend
ment to civil service Rule II :
No removals shall be made
from any positions subject to
competitive examination, except
tor mst eaune and upon written
charges filed with the head of
the department, or otner ap
pointing officer, and of which
the accused shall have full notice
and an opportunity to make defense.
He also amended. Rule III, so
ua to Include within the classi
fied service the employes ol all
custom house officers, without
regard to the number of employe
in each internal revenue district,
braced custom officers where
the number of employes were 5
or more. This order brings into
the clossficd service 65 hitherto
unclassified customs offices.
The President also amends
Rule VI. making exceptions to
examinations, so as to read as
follows : '
Customs house service, one
cashier in each customs district;
one chief or principal deputy or
assistant collector m each cus
toms district; one principal dep
uty collector at each sub-port
or station.

A ROMANTIC WEDDING.
BitUflbury Sun.
Mr. George Williams, who re
cently returned from a visit to
his old home in Franklin, tells us
of a romantic wedding which oc
curred near his home.
A couple, determined to wed,
ran away from home on Satur
day night last. Whether or
not there was any objection, our
informant knoweth not. But
they ran away and got married
And the costume in which tbey
were married (called costume for
want of better name) was some
thing out of the ordinary. The
man was barefooted and with
out a coat. The pants and shirt
he wore had been wore, the past
week. The lady was also bare
footed and wore the dress she
had worn all week.
Afler the ceremony they re
turned, as happy as any one
could wish to be, ftnd began
housekeeping; Nothing else lor
the house was all. there was to
keep. But the neighbors helped
them- by giving furniture and
other articles of necessity and
they are now well enough sup
plied with this world's goods to
live quite comfortably.
