Juno, Fla., March 12.—William Curry
and John Crawford, young1 men who
have been spending the winter here
hunting, shot a young panther Satur-
day, and not suspecting the presence
of the mother panther, laid down their
guns and began skinning the animal.
Suddenly the mother panther, which
was crouching on the limb of a tree
overhead, sprang upon them. The
hunters were crushed to the ground
and for a few moments were at the
beast's mercy. The animal planted its
claws in the left side of Curry's faee
and tore it open. The unfortunate man
rolled over only to receive another
blow from the claws. In the mean-
while. Crawford tried to rise, but the
panther struck him in the right eye,
almost tearing it from the socket.
Crawford, although in agony and
half blinded, dealt blow after blow
with his hunting knife, the fight tak-
ing place over Curry's body. Finally
the knife found the panther's heart
and it dropped dead on the unconscious
Lurry. Crawford was so exhausted
that he could not go for assistance,
and the mangled man lay there till
nightfall when thejr were rescued by
another party of hunters and brought
to this place.
Curry was found to be fearfully
wounded, and the physicians say that
the stroke which the panther dealt
across the abdomen will likely prove
fatal. Crawford's principal injury is to
the right eye, which will have to be re-
moved. Curry came from Illinois and
Crawford is from Pennsylvania.

peared on the levee ar. 1 by threats of
violence drove off the colored Screw
men. The police then dispersed the
whites, tiring a number of shots. No
one was hurt.
Soon after 11 o'clock, another crowd
of white men made a murderous as-
sault on the negroes, who were work-
ing at the foot of St. Andrew's street.
Some thirty or forty shots were tired
by the whites, and two negroes—John
Parker and Philip Fischer—were shot
and removed to the hospital in a dying
condition. No arrests were made, al-
though there is a large number of po-
lice present. More trouble is expected.

Oxford, Md., March 12.—During a

seven men, were drowned.

DENVER'S EXPOSITION SCIIKMF.
Two NIillion Dollars to Hit K ilned for a
Mining Show Next Year.
Denver, Col., March 13.—Committees
started out to-day to raise 82,000,000 for
the national mining and industrial ex-
position which it has been deeided to
hold here next year. That the move-
ment has found friends abroad is evi-
dent from the attitude the railroads
are taking. Secretary Flynn, of the
local passenger association, has re-
ceived inquiries from almost all the
great trunk lines and there is
no question but that rates as
low as those made to Chi-
cago will bo offered. In many
instances they will be much lower, as
the old fair rates are still in existence
between some points. They still con-
tinue between Denver and Chicago, so
that any reduction now made would bo
cut under the Chicago fair's rates. It
has been decided to put the consuls
and vice consuls of ull foreign nations
stationed in Colorado on the board of
general managers.
VETOBD BY STONE.
Missouri's Governor Kill# the Kill Regulat-

Jefferson City, Mo., March 12.—
Gov. Stone to-day vetoed the house bill
Irequiring street railways at railroad
crossings to stop within 10 or 20 feet of
such crossings und investigate before
crossing the tracks and requiring trol-
ley wires to be strung at least 20 feet
above the road bed at Railroad cross-
ings. This latter provision was ob-
jected to by the governor because it
authorized railroad companies to re-
move wires and tear up street railway
tracks without any judicial authority.
NATIONAL 'jN'IN't K*.
A Statement froin tlie Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury.
Washington, Muwh to. Assist an
Secretary Curtis yesterday made the
following statement: t "In view of cer-
tain statements in thj newspapers that
treasury otlieiuls are embarrassed by
an alleged failure in gold deliveries un-
der the recent contract and other asser-
tions of a similar nature calculated to
mislead and disturb the public mind,
I wish to say that the actual withdraw-
als of gold from the treasury since
March 1, 1893, have been $355,347, of
which 8281,087 have been for the re-
demption of United States treasury
notes, and 874,200 for the redemption
of United States notes.
"In regard to the excess of govern-
ment expenditures over receipts, it is
well known the latter is rapidly in-
creasing and that up to this time
nothing has been received from the
income tax and very little from
sugar duty, both of -Vhieh will be im-
portant elements of government re-
ceipts in the future. There is plenty
of money in the treasury to pay the ap-
propriations, nnd the statement in
some articles, that if the treasury had
the money the passage of the enor-
mous appropriations would lead to the
immediate disbursement of immense
sums of money, is totally untrue.
There is a question of law as to when
the appropriation for the payment of
the sugar bounty becomes available,
and until that question is settled it
will be impossible to make any pay-
ment thereunder. Moreover, the
claims for bounty must be adjusted be-
fore payment, since payment must bo
made pro rata if the appropriation is
insufficient.
"The total available cash in the
treasury amounts to 883,371,495, over
and above the 9100,000,000 allowed to
cover the gold reserve, which is £s«>,-
745,504.11. The treasury officials have
no anxiety as to their ability to meet
all obligations in the immediate future
with case and are confident the ex-
pected revival of business will assure
the future."
WEEKLY TRADE REVIftW.
R. G. Du • & Co. Believe that the Idjonra-
ment of Congress and Less (iold Ship-
ments Produced Better Feeling.
New York, March 10.—TI. (j. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Congressional adjournment and proof
that, though the rate of exchange rises
to and even above the shipping point,
gold does not go out, have produced a
much better feeling. Prices do not im-
prove and there is on the whole no gain,
but some loss in wages. While strikes
of 15,000 coal miners near Pittsburgh
and several thousand building work-
ers, besides strikes in ten or tw* ve
textile and iron establishments fur-
ther lessen purchasing power for the
time, but there is anticipation of im-
proved demand for goods in general,
and many are manufacturing and buy-
ing beyond present needs on the
strength of it.
Wheat has risen % of a cent because
of rumored injury to grain in some
states. Receipts for the week are near-
ly as large as last year, but in Febru-
ary 4,910,440 bushels against 7,01 . '
last year, with Atlantic exports 2,-
070 against 3,120,200 last year. Stocks
in sight are enormous and western ac-
counts make the stock of wheat in
farmers' hands very large. Corn has
declined M of a cent, though receipts
are not half last year's, with exports
insignificant. Pork, lard and hogs are
a shade higher and beef has advanced
to the highest point since July.
Copper has been depressed by compe-
tition to 91 j cents for lake and lead is
offered more freely at 1.1 cents, while
American makers of tin plate are put-
ting prices sometimes lower than those
of similar imported plates.
Failures for the week have been 234
in the United States against 248 last
year.
ANOTHER STATEMENT.
Mr. Sayers Gives a Democratic View of the
Appropriations Made hy the Late Con-
gress.
Washington, March 10.—Chairman
Sayers, of the house appropria-
tions committee, has made a state-
ment of the appropriations of the
last congress. He presented in his
statement tables showing appropria-
tions of three congresses as follows:
Fifty-first. $1,035,080,109; Fifty-second,
81,037,104,527; Fifty-third, §990,338,091.
Mr. Sayers says: "The appropriations
made by the Fifty-third congress, in-
cluding permanent appropriations,
show a reduction of $30,705.S5G under
the appropriations made by the Fifty-
second congress and $-15,341,418 under
those made by the Fifty-first congress."
Mr. Sayers, innking a comparison
with last year, shows that there is a
net increase of $5,877,320. "The new
public buildings authorized, including
one in Chicago to cost $4,000,000, will
not exceed in cost $5,600,000, be-
yond the sums appropriated therefor,
while the 'Fifty-first congress left
to its successors more than £3,000,000 to
be appropriated for public buildings
which it authorized." The salaried
list of the government has been re-
duced by this congress more than GOO
persons, with annual compensation
amounting to quite $750,000.

The Saving Effected by Certain Re-
forms in Government Methods.
THE OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT
Millers Reporting Largo Quantities of tlio
Cereal Being Ground for Stock Feed
—The Crop Damaged from
Drought and Wind.
Washington, March 12.—Mr. Dock-
cry, of Missouri, chairman of the com- 1
mission named for him, has made a
final report of the work of the commis-
sion during its existence. The report
shows that the entire expense of the
commission during the two years of its
existence was $41,204.0:1. The commis-
sion made in all twenty-six reports to
congress, the greater number of which
were approved, and resulted in the dis-
charge of 251 clerks, at an annual sav-
ing to the government for all time of
$008,000. The recommendations of the
committee not acted upon for lack of
time involve the discharge of 252 addi-
tional clerks at a further annual sav-
ing of $450,000. The total saving ef-
fected and proposed,therefore.amounts
to about $1,000,000.
Accompanying a review of its work,
the commission submits a census of the
departments gathered at the direction of
ithe commission which discloses the fact
that in the government establishments
at the national eapitol, there are em-
ployed 17,991) persons, 11,007 male and
5,037 female; that of the number em-
ployed in the eight executive depart-
ments, the department of labor, civil
service commission and fish commis-
sion, which arc under the civil service
law, 8,207 are of the class subject
to competitive examination, pre-
liminary to appointment, and 3,025 of
that number entered the service after
such examination, and that of the
whole number employed, 5,010 have
from one to nine relatives each in the
government service at Washington.
iMuch space is given to a recital of the
benefits which the review asserts have
been accomplished as a result of the
new accounting system in the treas-
ury, reported by the commission and
jsubsequently approved by the presi-
dent July 31, 1894. The estimated an-
nual saving resulting from the reform
is put at $339,430. Among the recom-
mendations made by the commission
and not acted on. relative to the
reorganization of the office of supervis-
ing architect, contested laud cases, re-
peal of the land contest act, transfer
of duties of receivers of land offices,
public surveys, abolition of the ofllco
of solicitor of internal revenue, bonds
of government officials, checking of
money orders, al lition of naval offi-
cers at all ports and the establishment
of a substitute therefor in New York,
and writing and recording official let-
ters. The reforms the commission esti-
mates would effect an annual saving of
$440,020.
farmers feeding stock wheat.
Washington, March 12.—The secre-
tary of agriculture is in receipt of a
communication from a leading manu-
facturer and business man of Omaha,
giving the result of his observation and
inquiries during a recent trip through
the state of Kansas ;us to the present
outlook for the wheat crop in that
state, and the extent to which wheat
has i" an fed to stock by Kansas fann-
ers. He found the receipts of wheat in
Kansas City to be averaging from two
to five cars per day by comparison with
fifty to seventy-five cars per day a year
ago. Millers all reported large quanti-
ties of wheat ground for feeding pur-
poses. One miller, indeed, reported
that he had ground more wheat for
feeding purposes than for bread. A
number of farmers reported that they
had fed, or would fe d, fully one-half
of the wheat raised last year.
At one point only, Florence, was
told that but little wheat had be
fed, and at the same place he met a
man from Washington county,
representing a pool of farmers
whom he was purchasing wheat, to
ship to his county to be fed. This
party reported the results
ing to cattle ami hogs a mixture
of onfr-third corn and two-thirds
wheat to be extremely favorable. At
other points millers reported that they
were unable to supply themselves with
wheat from the farmers, although
until this year they had always done
so. Up to the last of January the
winter wheat throughout the state
had not received moisture enough to
sprout it. Snow has been light, and
what little fell drifted badly, while a
severe windstorm early in February
blew down acres of wheat. The out-
look for winter wheat in the state is
not good.
In northern Texas some wheat has
been used for feed, but not so exten-
sively as in Kansas. In Nebraska
and Iowa, where it largely took the
place of corn, of which there was a
short crop, practically all the wheat
raised has been fed, so that, notwith-
standing the short crop of corn, farm-
ers in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska have
turned off more than the usual number
of hogs. Concluding his letter, this
correspondent says:

Aniuilng a id Patlietle Scenes In W.-storn
K insas Counties.
Abilene, Kan. March 12.- The dis-
tribution of the supplios of see I wheat,
clothing, food, etc , has commenced
in the western Kansas counties,
and the distributing agencies are
overwhelmed with applications from
all classes. Some of thesa come from
people with $10,000 \v rth of property.
Others are for the o I I • .1 class of in.i-
terial such as bonnets, sa Idles, sprin r
overcoats, etc. Tlu dwellers in the
little towns are won Icrftilly trans-
formed by the now clothes sent from
the east, many packages including
dress suits and plug hats, arrayed in
which the poor settlers are truly gro-
tesque.
On the other haul, m my of the ap-
peals are really pitiful, as th * settlers
come 10 to 15 mile} in an old wagon
and get two bushels of p >tatoi!s, a
bushel of wheat and a little pork or
beef. They have struggled along this
way for three months an I the supplies
have barely kept them above the
starving point. Whether they can get
ahead this summer depen Is on the
rainfall. Much of the wheat has not
yet sprouted, and the outlook is not
encouraging. The stite will have to
furnish another supply appropriation
next winter unless there is a great
change. The settlers have, as a gen-
eral thing, mortgaged their all to get
along, and it is only the men in towns
with a gooil business backing who are
uble to keep their places in the ranks.
From Lincoln county west the supplies
are eagerly awaited and do a great
deal of good.
