Laws in China. ;
In China, if any prisoner resists an
officer and strikes the latter so as to draw
blood, the offender shall be strangled. If
a criminal who resists an officer is armed,
and the officer kills him to secure his •
person, or if a criminal escapes from
prison or is killed while being pursued,
or if a runaway criminal destroys him-
self, the officer shall in no wise be an-
swerable for the prisoner’s death. In any
case where a criminal is killed, where
the offense charged against him was
punishable with capital punishment, and
the officer had no right to assault or
wound him, the punishment of the police
officer shall not in any case exceed 100
blows.—San Francisco Alta.

A Bottle’s Long Drift , at Sea.
Mr. William Jones, while walking on
the beach of the Nariva Cocal, noticed a
bottle which had been washed ashore by
the waves. He opened it and found it
to contain a scrap of paper, which he
forwarded to the office of this paper.
The following was written in German on
one side, the other having written across
it the date “2 September 1889” and the
signatures T. Schlinger and Aust. Licht-
m.arose:
“The German bark Joseph Haydn,
Capt. H. Pflieger, from Bremen, finds it-
self today in south latitude 7 deg. 85
min. and west longitude 12 deg. 45 min.,
where the crew has thrown this bottle
overboard on the Sedan day, 1889. All
on board well. On the voyage from
Singapore to Marseilles. 2 September
1889.”
The'writer or writers were evidently
patriotic Germans, from the use of the
anniversary of Sedan as a date. They
have, however, rendered a greater serv-
ice to science than to national feeling, as
the point in the South Atlantic where
they threw the bottle was not far west-
- ward from the Island of Ascension.
This shows that the ocean- current which
bore it along over well nigh 4,000 miles
in five months, and laid it gently with
its message on our eastern coast, must
have traveled at the same rate (nearly
thirty miles a day) as the equatorial cur-
rent flowing above the West Indies from
the G ulf of Mexico eastward to the At-
lantic. The direction of the current from
the South Atlantic which carried the
bottle here was, therefore, northwest-
erly.—Port-of-Spain Gazette.

George W. Townsend and Miss Ida
Hemingway were married at 2 o’clock
this afternoon at the First Baptist church
by the Rev. A. T. Spalding. The couple
stood under an arch of roses in front of
the alter. Miss Hemingway was a gov-
ernness in the family of Mr. Hampton
Young. Mr. Townsend is engaged in
commercial business in this city.
Laudanum’s Fatal Work.
Kansas City, March 12.—An Atchison
special says that the two year old child
of John Blunt, a farmer near Stockton
Rocks, drank a quantity of laudanum by
mistake and died. The mother, crazed
by the death of the child, drank the re-
maining poison and is now dying. Mr.
Blunt is being carefully watched by his
friends least he may commit suicide.
The Lard Compound.
Washihgton, D. C., March 12.—The
House committee on agriculture de-
voted its session to-day to the hearing
of representatives Butterworth and Ma-
son, who favored and opposed respect-
ively the measures pending before the
committee having for their purpose the
regulation and location of manufacture
of lard compound.
Women Warriors.
Paris, March 12.—It is officially an-
nounced that the king of Dahomey, ac-
companied by his female warriors, has
returned to his land after remaining at Go-
domey four days and not daring to attack
the French posts. The rest of his army
remains in Godomey, where it is erect-
ing fortifications. During the campaign
1000 Dahomians, including a female gen-
eral, were killed. It is stated that the
French captives taken by the Dafioinians
are safe at Whydaha.
Invitations are out for the annual
masquerade ball of the Harmony club at
their hall on the evening of the 26th in-
stant. Prizes will be awarded for the
best and most original costume.
Capital and Invention.
Capitalist—Huh! Want capital to de-
velop a patent, eh? Well, you’ve come
to the wrong place. I haven’t any money
to risk on patents.
Business Man—But in this case there is
no risk at all. The invention, though
wonderfully attractive to the average
mind, is absolutely impractical. It won’t
work.
“What? You know it won't work and
yet you come to me for capital to”---
“Calm yourself, my dear sir. You see
if we know at the start that the thing
. won’t work we shall expect no results
i from it and need run no risk. We sim-
ply form a big company, sell all the
stock, pocket the proceeds and let the
stockholders do the developing. See?”
i “I see. You shall have all the capital
you want.”—New York Weekly,
Barnum’s Ancient Anecdote.

It is about the meanest man on earth.
A grocer and general dealer advertised
a drink with each purchase. He took
trade. A mean man came in with
an egg worth a cent and traded it for a
darning needle, also worth a cent. Then
he demanded his drink and took sherry.
He said he always had to have an egg in
his sherry and the dealer broke the egg
he had just received from him in the
sherry. It happened that the egg had
two yolks, and so the meanest man de-
manded two darning needles because of
the two yolks.—Detroit Free Press.

The attention of the “?” was called
this morning to an alleged interview with
a member of the Wharf company in the
News this morning by a prominent di-
rector of the company. “It is the worst
kin I of rot,? said the director, with
considerable warmth, “and,” he con-
tinued, “I am surprised that an intelli-
gent stockholder should utter such non-
sense. No, I don’t care to make the cor-
rection, but I pronounce that absolutely
incorrect. See President Brown ; he can
give you correct information.”
MOST HORRIBLE.
Tlie Festive Frog. |
A frog in the first stages of its career
gives no hint as to what it will eventu-
ally become. As far as looks go one
would suppose it was going to be a cat-
fish. It spends the first days of its ex-
istence swimming about in some pool,
industriously wagging the small tail
that is appended to one end of his little
round, egg-shaped body. By and by a
pair of legs begin to stick out from
under its vest. These it uses for a time
to kick with, and then moves them up
close to its collar to make way for its
long and esculant hind legs.
It is then that the little bright eyed
fellow disclaims any further relationship
with his tail, and even goes so far as to
cut its acquaintance entirely, and quits
the water forever except for bathing
purposes. Taking up its abode on the
land, it soon grows into an article of
commerce much sought after and prized
by epicures.—Philadelphia Times.
Meteorologists and Eiffel’s Tower.
French meteorologists, it appears, have
just discovered that the Eiffel tower will
prove far more valuable to them for ob-
servation than was at first imagined;
Indeed, it is said that it possesses most of
the advantages of an observatory built
upon a mountain. In confirmation of
this it is stated that recently, while a se-
vere frost prevailed in the city, a strong,
warm breeze was blowing at the summit
of thetow’er, and it was three days be-
fore this temperature reached the ground.
In no elevated observatory could such
direct vertical observations be made as
here. Photography will be pressed into
service at this elevated position, as a
matter of course.—Journal of Photog-
raphy. ■
Bring in Another Bucket of Blood and
Let Loose the Dogs of War.
Chicago, Ill., March 12.—A special
Tacoma, Washington,says: International
complications are likely to grow out of
an incident that has taken place here,
practically involving an insult to the
British flag and a possible violation of
the rights of British subjects.
The crew of a British vessel, the Crai-
genn, deserted the ship here and al-
though they were not to be paid till the
return to Liverpool, they brought an
action in a justice’s court hereto recover
their accrued wages. Justice of the
Peace, Patrick, issued a writ of attach-
ment against the vessel and a deputy
constable was put in charge yesterday.
Capt. Hamilton went ashore and left
Edward Hamilton in command. Ed-
ward Hamilton went ashore and hired
a gang of men to put a lining in the
ship. When he returned deputy sher-
iff Von Bibber, thinking the new force
was help to get possession of the ship,
resisted Plamilton’s return bv jerking
the plank from under and precipitating
him into the water. The constable
thinking it might get too warm aboard,
took the compass and chronometer and
went ashore. These articles being Brit-
ish property were seized by the customs
officers and the constable charged with
smuggling. The British consul will in-
vestigate the matter and the case has
been telegraphed to the state department
It is thoughtby some that instead of
lobsters the boys wrere catching craw-
fish.
“What kind of weather do you call
this?” asked Evening Tribune of the 'flneci $25 for carrying a Distol,
weather clerk to-day.
“This is a rain storm without trim-
mings,” he replied; “no wind accom-
panying it, I mean. It rained all over
the state last night—in fact, rain is re-
ported throughout the southwest of the
Mississippi. We have had orders to
change the cautionary signals from south-
east to northwest, which means that
colder weather is coming.”
DEATH SENTENCE AFFIRMED.
The court oi appeals to-day affirmed
the sentence of death in the case of
Thomas J. Fulcher, convicted in Jones
county for the murder of A. Beemer,
whom he shot. The killing occurred in
Crosby county, and a change of venue to
Jones county was granted.
The case of Wiley French, sentenced
to four years in the penitentiary for man-
slaughter in Gonzales county lor killing
Peter Simons with a gun, was also af-
firmed. _________________
BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.
The members of Harmony Club have
arranged for an interesting billiard
tournment, which will begin to-morrow
night and continue for about ten days.
The names of the gentlemen who will
take part in the contest are: W. B. La-
bath, Max Bergheim, D. W. Schram,
L. W. Levy, Sam W. Block, Nat Fors-
cheimer, G. G. Levy, Joe Blum,
S. H. Frenkel and an unknown.
The result of the tournament will de
cidej the much argued question as to
who is the best billiardist of the associa-
tion. In addition to bearing off the
honors as champion of Harmony Club,
the winner will receive a handsome
mounted cue. Mr. Jack Wilson has been
chosen referee, and Mr. Al. Dirkes will
act as scorer. ~
100 points.
A LACK OF SAND.
More Delay in putting the Alleys in
Proper Condition.
City Engineer Wilson now has forty
men at work in the streets and alleys,
principally the latter. We are doing a
great deal of scraping and cleaning, but
we can’t do any filling in on account of
lack of sand. All the sand in the city
at present is needed to supply the con-
tractor for the rope and twine factory,
as soon as we can get hold of some sand
W’e will begin filling in, was the way the
engineer put it to the reporter.
The health department has three men
employed in cleaning and scraping gut-
ters in the down town districts. Noth-
ing is being done in the way. of disin-
fecting alleys, as that precaution is not
considered necessary.
COMING AND GOING.
Stringent Laws for 'Its Protection, but
There Are No Lobsters.
Reports have been current during the
past few days that boys were seen com-
ing in from the jetties with baskets full
of young lobsters, which, according to a
city ordinance, is an offense punishable
by a fine of $10 for each lobster removed
without the consent of the city council.
The ordinance also makes it the duty of
the mayor to plant all the lobsters re-
ceived and to be received from the gov-
ernment.
“I think that must be a mistake.about
boys bringing in lobsters,” said Mayor
Fulton. “I never planted any, for the
reason that I never received any to plant.
My recollection is that those that were
shipped here were dead when they ar-
rived.”
Colonel A. M. Shannon of Shannon &
Burke, contractors for the jetties, said:
“When the fish commission talked of
planting lobsters on the. gulf coast I vol-
unteered to plant them on the jetties.
Thereupon several barrels full were
shipped here packed in ice. When they
arrived they were nearly all frozen to
death, and the few that lived and were
planted on the jetties died shortly after-
ward, I think. I think, however,
that lobsters would thrive here, and
if the fish commissioners will send us
another lot for experiment properly
packed, I will undertake the cultivation
of the lobsters. rl here are none on the
jetties now.”
A Flurry Created by the News from New
Orleans Last Evening.
Evening Tribune owes a very charm-
ing young lady, Miss Carrie Bell, of
Willis, an apology for saying in the
second edition yesterday that fortune had
favored Mr. Albert Weis to the extent of
$30,000. In the excitement incident to
the reception of such joyful news it was
hard to ascertain what was and what was
not. It transpired that fortune, other-
wise Louis Marx, had divided favors.
Mr. Marx had sold here two twentieths
of ticket No. 8132, which drew the capi-
tal prize. Now it happened that Mr.
Albert Weis held one-twentj| th of this
lucky . number, and to-emy it is
found that • Miss Carrie Bell held
the other twentieth sold by Mr.
Marx. Miss Bel] resides at Willis, and
is a most charming young lady. Mr.
Marx telegraphed her to-day of her good
fortune. How perverse fortune is. Now,
suppose that Mr. Weis had been a gay
and marriageable young man, instead of
the head of an interesting family, would
it not have been possible for the two
twentieths of ticket 8132 to have pooled
issues? But these things have to be ac- '
cepted as they are, and neither Mr. Weis
nor Miss Bell-will be rendered less inter-
esting and attractive by their good for-
tune. Mr. Weis is receiving congratula-
tions here and Miss Bell at Willis.
Mr. Sawyer sold two twentieths of No.
10,122, which drew the third capital prize,
one of which was held by Charles Dob-
bert of this city. The other favorite has
not yet materialized.

all the talk in that article is purely specu-
lative. The talker has a wide range of

Louis, March 12.—Flood news
from various points along the Mississippi
river and other streams this morning is
that the White and Black rivers in Ar-
kansas are both out of their banks and
overflowing the country on each side
for miles. Heavy rains continue to'fall
along these streams and a general inun-
dation is looked for.
A rise of overjeighteen feet took place
in the early hours, and at last accounts
the swell was proceeding at the same
rate. This great rise, added to other
floods pouring out of all the small tribu-
taries below Fort Smith, will greatly add
to the volume of water in the Mississippi
below the mouth of the Arkansas and
increase the peril to the lower country.
All railroads in the vicinity of Fort
Smith are suffering from serious washouts
or the loss of bridges, and teams are
abandoned temporarily at Arkansas City. at Washingfon.
lhe water from Sappington Hook cre-
vass has inundated the rear part of the
town, and lands in the back country are -
being flooded. It is not thought that
any great damage will result from this
break, as the bayous and interior streams
are capable of carrying the water aw’av *
rapidly. " 1
All of the available boats of the gov-
ernment fleet have been put into the |
levee service, and are rendering all the
aid possible.
The river front from Arkansas City 1
down is being carefully watched, and all '
low places are being filled with sacks of
sand and earth, and other means used to .
hold the back waters.
A report prevailed this morning that
the levee at Atsatia, La., twenty miles
south of Lake Providence, had broken,
but this has not been verified.
Weather Wise.
Washington, D. C., March 12.—Fore-
cast till 8 a. m. Thursday : For Eastern

I “ Downfall -of the Ministry.”
Dublin, March 12.—The Freeman’s
Journal says: “The debate on Mr.
Smith’s motion asking the house of com-
mons to adopt the report of the Parnell
commission and the amendments to the
motion mark the stage of disruption and
downfall of the ministry, whose charac-
ter for fair play, honor and honesty is

Escorted to Prison by Cleveland.
Buffalo, N. Y., March 12.—“The
world looks new to me now,” said James
Kelly, who was convicted of murder and
sentenced to imprisonment for life in
1871, and who was released on a pardon
recently. “Grover Cleveland was sheriff
.at the time of my sentence,” said Kelly,
“and instead of sending a deputy to Au-
burn with me he went himself, saying
that he had never been in the state prison
and wanted to improve the oppor-
tunity. I believe I am the only
man in the world who has been
escorted to prison by a president of the
United States. The very latest paper
Mr. Cleveland signed his name to at Al-
bany as governor was my pardon, to take
effect March 5,1890, and here lam.”

Special to Evening Tribune.
Waco, Tex., March 12.—A difficulty
occurred last night between George
Walker, a hack driver, and some un-
known parties at a saloon on Austin
street, in which Walker w’as beaten un-
mercifully. During the fight Lou Galla-
gher, a member of the demi-monde,
jumped from Walker’s hack, which was
standing in front of the saloon, and ran
to his assistance, when she, too, was
beaten almost senseless. Walker and the
woman were removed to the “Reserve,”
the woman’s home, and a physician sent
for. Both are getting along very well to-
day, and will go before the grand jury.
Walker has persistently refused to divulge
the names of the parties who attacked
him, but says he will tell the grand jury.
There were three of them.

Special to Evening Tribune.
Jackson, Miss., March 12.—The state
treasury investigation, committee has
made no report yet, and a member told
your correspondent that he did not think
it possible to do so this week. A few
days since it was thought the committee
would report about the middle of this
week, but from what this member said,
some new difficulty must have been en-
countered. The committee’s investiga-
tions are still being held with closed
doors, and it is adhering to the rule first
adopted, not to give out any figures un-
til the investigation is completed. The
investigation is almost the sole topic of
conversation here, and the report of the
committee is anxiously watched for.
“"'-Xhe^'.ommittee has not yet commenced
- uddng'xgi'al testimony. Neither Col.
Hemmin^way nor any of his employes
have been examined yet. The commit-
tee is working industriously and prom-
ises to report as soon as possible. Col.
J. J. Evans has been called on to furn-
ish the committee a schedule of the
money bonds and other securities turned
over to him by ex-Treasurer Hemming-
