What ha become of the oncmlc League ?
Pa That Is the ( Iuuton that hu been asked !
more than once during ! the la8t few weeks ,
bilL no etstactory answer has as yet ap.
peared. The Economic ! league was organized
with the avowed Intention ot healing many of
the abuses that arc alleged to exist In con
nection with the city government , and for
a time a grat deal ot agitatng was dOn
h along that hue. In tact , the city election
two years ago went democratic , largely on
the strength If the representntons of the
gentlemen who were Ilo'ng the agitating ,
coupled with the unwillingness of the rl
- pUblcan ( party to PHS a few resolutions. The
democrats were a Utl ! more courageous antI !
passed the resolutions , and carried the day
In consequence. The resolutions never dll
any harm ncr any gooll. None of the men
clected considered thelllves bound by them ,
and the only thing that was really accom-
Illshed by thc league , which was composed
mainly of republicans , was 10 place the city
government In the hands of the Ilemocrats.
I hu been rumored ot late that the league
hall determined to s\pel1 anti make an as-
"Igment for the benefit ot the people , as
I were. But Inquiry develops the tact that
thll Is all a mistake. Meetings have been
held 01 the sly at certain offices during the
past few Ilays , all trom the Inside I Is given
out that when the proper time come the
league wIll bo right on hand 10 continue Its
deadly work against the corporatons , Ight
.under the nose of the leugue the cIty councIl
renewell the contruct wIth the electric lIght
company for fvo years No acton has been
taken to reduce the taro to Omaha , anti

.5 the rates that have been In vogue ever since
lie company commenced business The members -
. ben of the league still think that there Is
rom for their missionary work , and arc not I
dlspos to , give UII the light.
"Wo must educate the publIc , " said one
ot them a few days ago , "anl when we get
them educated wo shall have no dlfculy In
bringing about the reforms at which we are
alto lng . "
Just what stlpS will bo taken Is as yet

pj Ire not se'lng ' a very ' good example for the

Saunders Is r'ght , they are proving themselvl
the most inveterate tax shirkers to be found
S anywhere. The mulct Iw has not proved a
very glittering 'success so fr , but , In justice
to the law. It my be said that It Is possibly
owing to the fact that the attempts to enforce -
force Its provisions have not t' been much more
enthuslaste than were those to enforce the
$ prohibitory law.
Of the taxes due on saloon property be
tween October 1 and March I , 1895 , It Is
said that $10,000 Is still unpaid. This Is
nearly 'one-halt of the entire amount. About
$5,000 Is due ( torn saloon keepers outside of
) Counci flltiffi' . This cla&s of the saloen ele-
merit Is goIng to be
more troublesome than
any other unless the law Is strictly enforcEd ,
for In many cases the property on which the
booze emporium Is located Is not worth an-
thing lIke the tax for .Ix months , and It
the ccunty t left to collect the tax at the
enll of the term , Instead of at the begInnIng -

Tn the long list of ocean disasters , ap-
pallng In the ( aggregate , there Is none eqlal-

seven miles above Vicksburg , In April , 18G5.
Mr. 1owarll lenderon , who , nt that tIme
was confederate exchange commIssioner , gives
In i lie ( New Ycrk independent a detailed account -
count at what Is regarlled the greatest rIver
calamity ot the civil war.
The Sultana was emplo'e(1 In carryIng
paroled unIon prisoners to the north A
neutral exchange camp hall been established
east ot VIcksburg. On the 24h of April ,
18G5 , lG1 prisoners were hrought from the
calp all pined on the Sultana. There were
on board , besides these , 31 soldiers ( not
prisoners ) , paBengrs and crew. She wns
crowd to her utmost capacity , for besides
the human fre'ght there were thirty or forty
mules. Iatons were Issued for over 1,800
soldIers ,
The men covered ' the hurricane deck all
lie ( "texas , " anti It was feared their weight
wOlhl crush the roof of lie cabin , The
guards ot the cabin were tilled and the boiler
deck was 80 crowdel that ( the men sat thick 1
on the gunwales , their legs swinging over the '
shIes ot the steamer , which sunk so low that
when the vessel careened , while runnIng , their
teet touched the water. They were so
anxious to get away that they feared to
complain , lest they shouhl be left behind ;
they even claimed to be entirely comfortable ,
hut their wretched position excited universal
comment anti provoked earnest protests , The
steamer reached Memphis In safety , and , havIng -
log coaled , left there. Seven mies above she
explolled her boilers and burned. hundreds
were hurled many feet In lie air , falling Into
the water with broken , bruised or seaMed
bodies , 10 met certain and swift death by
Ilrowning. The number that lost their lives
Is approxlnalely 1,110 ot the prisoners , all
20 of the crew and passengers . Including
Captan ! Mason , the commander ot the boat
This number has been repeatedly placed at
from 1,800 to 2,000. but It approximates lie (
exact ruth ( to state that about 1,300 persons
perished , or about 60 per cent ot all on board.
The spring treshet was at Its food , all the
swamps on the Arkansas side were over-
flowed for many miles Inland Jan ) " escalled
10 the submerged trees , and n large proporton
ot these perished from cold and fright The
catastrbphic occurring on tim heels ot the as-
sassinaion ( of President Lincoln and the surrender -
render of Generals Lee and Johnston , the t
public mind was so "ccuplCI that thIs calamIty -
lamIty was obscured DY these events. The

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-The reported kIdo
aping of the ( fcers of the UnIted States
ship Concord at Chlnktang , China , reached
Washington at too late an hour to permllit
tc o be Inquired Into In naval or diplomatic
c ircles. Up to 10 o'clock no news on the
subject had been received by any of the
goverment officials. The news will create
a profound sensatIon tomorrow and , unless
later l repots show that the captured officers
are at liberty , other vessels will probably be
hurried h to the scene KnowIng lie condl-
lon ot lie ChInese at the present tIme and
the way In whIch they are likely to deal
with prisoners , there will bo great anxiety
unt the safety of lie party ts ass red.
A court martial will probably follow , as the
polcy of the United States government Is
to require unusual care In such cases. A
tcw years ago a test torpedo from a UnIted
States warship was exploded by some Japan-
ese , who found It oh the beach One of
them was killed . and , though' the Japanese
government declared It held the officer o
the warship blameless , there was a court
martial and the officer was severely reprI-
manded.

TRAGEDY AT AN EATING BOUSE.
A few years ago when Justice Fielti was
In the 72d year of his age , timid nh1ost as
feeble as he Is today , David S. Terry a man
who had known him In his early days
slapped his check and threalened to heap
other Inllgnite upon lie ( old man when
Deputy Unted : Slates Marshal Nagle , who
was sitting at the ( dinner table with Justice
FieltI arose antI shot the assaIlant through
ito ( heart. As Judge Terry fell Marshal
Nagle shot at him again but lie second shot
imbedded itself In the floor.
I was on the afternoon at August 14 , 1889 ,
that ( Justice Field and Deputy United States
Marshal Davhl Nagle went Into the railroad
dining room at Lathrop , Cal , and sat down
together to dinner. Judge Terry and his
wife Sarah Alhea Hi , entered the room tm-
mediately afterward , and when Mrs. Terry
noticed Justice Field she lef the dlnlhg room :
and went out for unknown
some purpose , presumably -
sumably to get a revolver. I was at this
juncture that Judge Terry walked across the
room and slapped the face of Associate
Justice Field as he sat at the table , alli that
acton resulted II his Immediate death
Justice Field and Marshal Nagle tmmedlately
- . - -
Jen lf l the timing room and went 10 their sleepIng -
Ing f car , where they were locked In and the
train departed while excited crowds gathered
at the depot. Marshal Nngle submItted to arrest -
rest and was taken to Jai at Stocllon. He
was finally acquitted of crime , because he
was merely performing his duty In protectIng -
Ing I the associate justice.
DavId S. Terry was born tn Kentucky , was
In i the Texan army under the command at
Sam Houston , and went to California In 189.
Alhough a man of a great deal more than
ordinary ability and legal acquIrements , he
wns swayed by his passions to the extent
o f murder more than once. He was made an
Issoclate justice of the supreme court ot
Calorln In 1855 , and became chief justc
of the state supreme court tn 1857. In 185G
ho stabbed a man while resisting the arrest '
of a friend on the part of the vIgIlantes. He .
had been sent ' to Jai for six months In 1888 :
for contempt by Justice Field , and that was I
the Immediate cause of his assault upon the
old genteman , whom he would not have hind
the courage to attack In hIs earlier days. I '
WIlY DAVE DRODEnCK DIED.
Judge David S : Terry became a prominent
character before the nation In .8GO , when he
kied United States Senator DavId C. Drod-
crick In a duel. A friend at Terry who was
present when the celebraetd duel was fought
ts I temporarily residing In Washington , and
gIves a very Interesting account 'ot that romance -
mance or the exciting period preceding the 1
clvt war. ,
I seems that Senator Droderlck was a' '
friend of Stephen A. Douglas anti an oppnent
of ( he cxtenslon of slavery. lie hall always
ben a demorcat and refused to subscribe to
the doctrines of abolition. In tact , JIO occu-
pied a middle ground between the ( new repub-
lcan h party and the slavery , extensIon wing ot
the democratic party. Ho was a man ot
great influence all power upon tht Pacific
const. as well as In the Unied States senate ,
and ho was cordially hated by the frlendl ot
the Duehanan administraton , Senator Droll-
crick was so strong In the affections of the
people of Calorlia thai Senator Owin although -
though he hated I3rodeniclt tel obliged , for
lie sake of snvlnr his own political life. to
give Droderlel a letter promising not to Interfere -
tertere In the dtsposlton of the patronage ot
the Pacific coast. This document was called
"Tho Scarlet Letter " and It became the sub-
ject of ninny very acute controversIal argu-
meats In the press and upon the hustn !
Experenced : politIcIans , particularly these ot
the slavery extension type , declared that the
man who held that letter was doome
The leading alI most aggressive exponent of
lie slavery extension wing of the democratic :
party In California nt that ( Into , was Chief
Justice David S. Terry. In a celebrated
speech which was delivered before the democratic -
cratc state conventIon ot Sacramento In 1859 ,
Judge Terry caled Droerlck an arch traitor ,
who held In his own possession as a part ot
his personal property , all of the Klavery democrats -
ocrats In California. He said : "These peo-
plo cal themselves Douglas democrats , But
they are not followers of Stephen A. Douglas.
They are under lie banner of a Douglas , It
Is true , but It Is the black Duglas. ills
Inmo Is Frederlcl" , and not Stephen. "
BItODERICK'S COMMENT ON TBRRY.
When Senator nroderlrl read hint speech
as It was reported In the newspapers of the
day , he said In the ( presence of a lawyer
named D. W. Perley , n friend ot Terry , "I
see that Terry has been abusing me. I now
nice back the remark I once made , lint ( he Is
the only honest jUllge on the supreme bench ,
I was his friend when he needed trlends ; n
fact for which I am now sorry I the vig-
Iance committee had dIsposed at him ns they
did of others , they wouhl have done a rIght-
COlS act. " ,
This was an allusion to the ( tact that ( when
Terry stabbed a mn named Hopkins he was
In the hands of the vigilance committee , and
It requIred alt of his strength of hIs political
trends : to suve his neck , I Hoplcns had tiled
Terry wouhl undoubtedly have been hmangeti
When Lawyer Perley repeated the remarks
of Iroderlck to Judge Terry that gentleman
tmmedlately ( wrote a letter to Droderlcl asking -
Ing him tt he hall made such 1 remark 'Co
his ( hate Senator Drolerlek ( replied as fol-
lows ;

CALL TO DEATH ACCEPTED.
Judge Terry declared to his friends that
he consIdered thla lalguagr , and the nole t
of Brodertck , sulclent ( ground for the Isu- tS
ance of a chlenge to mortal combat , and
sent a challenge to Mr. roderlck , announcing
that Calhoun Denham was his principal second -
anti , with S. ii. Irooks and Thomas Ia'es m
as his assl8tants. In those days a duel was

the seconds selecled by JUdge Terry were ;

INSURANCE RATES
The adjustment or fire Insurance rates In
the state Is now well under way. The governIng -
ernIng committee , representing nIl lie fire
insurance companIes doIng business In Iowa ,
has been In session here for several days , and
has appointed another meeting In Chicago for
ebrunry 13 , when thE expert ) , David Dever-
tdge will submIt a plan for mlopton by the
cotuitiiitco. ( The managers say they want to
get some basis ot making rates established
for the whole stte. so that each rIsk will
stand on Its own betel all bo rated according -
cording to Its merits. So some standard of
perfect risk wIll bo fixed and every defect In
every rIsk charge for al a fixed rate all
over time state. This wi 110 away with complaints -
plaints of injustice and discrimination , now
so generally made. The ratIng will not be
completed before spring , as each town will
be gone over. The cost of inspection of risks
will be very much reduced by the proposed
plan , as two of the three InspectIon bureaus
will be abolished. '
The case 'of the state of Iowa against Wi-
lam Tool , indicted for the murder of his wife ,
\as begun at Sac , City last week and wi
probably consume all ot the coming week.
The crime was committed September 28 last
at Sac City. ( The victim was Ills wife , OlIve ! ,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Scott , who
also resIde at Sac City. Shortly before 8
o'clock that evening Tool stood at his door
o'cock
calling to hs ! neighbor , \ . Mary E. Stoner ,
to come quickly. Hastening across the street
Into time house , a terrible scene met her view.
Tool's two children , aged 2 and 4 years , rG
spectvely , stood at the door crying and ) ask-
Ing that their papa and mamma bo made to
get up from the floor. Mrs. Stoner sa\v Tool
and his wife lying tn pools of blood , and ,
growing faint , hurried away with the chi-
dren to give the alarm. Neighbors hastened
10 the Ill-fated home and found Mrs. Tool
lying dead at the north side ot tM little sIt-
( log reel , her torehead crushed so deeply
that the brain was oozing torth. In the mid-
dIe of lie room lay the husband , bleeding
from a gaping wound at his throat inflicted
by I razor. A heavy ax that had evidently
caused the ( death of Mrs Tool lay upon lie
floor , and on the bed In the room ndjonlng : .
lay the razor wIth whIch Tool had cut his , I
throal Tool was conscious and admitted by
signs that he bad 1led his wife because of I
trouble Dclors oxamlned Tools injuries I
and found his wind pIpe almost severel ! This
they united. Much to the surprise of every
one Tool began to rally and Is today prac- :
tcaly a well man.
The coroner's jury held Tool responsible
for the murder of his wife , antI , as soon ns
his health would permit , he was taken to the
county jaIl . where he has since rematned. At
the December term of court ho was indicted ;
for murder In the first degree , and his case I
contInued.
J. K. Cumberlnnd , the Shelby county mur-
Ilerer , will be hanged at the penitentiary at
Fort Madison Frldny. The executon viIi be
