Sharp Practice by Soatliri-n Pacific a5er' Washington, April 11.-- General J Sparks has found evidence of an at-j tempt to steal over 500,000 acres of land in defiance of an order of Sec-I retary Lamar, issued a few days oe fore General Sparks took possession of the land ofiice. For a number of yeara the Southern Pacific Eailroad company has claimed the 13,000,000 acres assigned to it by the Texas Pa cific railroad. Congress at its last session declared this grant forfeited and directed that the land be returned to the public domain. On March 18th Secretary Lamar issued an order di recting the registers of the various laud offices throughout the couutry to hold these lands subject to entry and settlement. In the survey of the Southern Pacific road it laps at the junction with the Texas Pacific in such a manner that for a number of miles it runs across the lands of the Texas Pacific grant, i After Lamar had issued his order, the agents of the road, anxious to save something out of the wreck of 13,000,000 acres, applied through their friends in the land office to have the lands adjoining their road, where it laps upon the Texas Pacific, exempt from the order. Such an exemption was made and was issued on March 18th by Acting Land Commissioner Harrison The tract exempted em braces nearly 600,000 acres of land. This violation of Lamar's order was very quietly accomplished. It was only yesterday that Sparks discov ered it. He called upon Harrison to explain his extraordinary order. Harrison said thnt he had signed it merely in a routine way. This is the favorite defense for everything un earthed in the departments. The order was traced back to the chief aud the head of the railroad division in the bureau, but neither one of them would assnme the responsibili ty of it. General Sparks intends to carefully investigate the whole subject and find out who is responsible. There is no defense to be made. It was a deliberate a theft as was ever planned, for if the order could have stood un disturbed for a number of years, it would have given the Southern Pa cific road a good claim to try the case in the courts. The Brit Mi Navy. London, April 11. Of all the men-of-war ordered into commission in view of the complications with Rus sia, onlv one is ready. The main difficulty is in finding competent crews. The naval barracks are de pleted, and sailors out of a job prefer the merchant service It is thought the government will be compelled to utilize 2,000 coast guardsmen. They are all sailors and mostly belong to the naval reserve. Mauy of them have been on ornamental duty for years, but they know how to haul and steer, and could upon occasion work a gun. The Fiiterjn'isc, a newspaper pub Idshed at Laurinburg,!. C, vouches for the follewing: "A hog ate heav ily of dynamito nnd then entered a lot where there was a drove or mules. The hog was kicked by one of their number and immediately exploded and killed twenty of the males."

Man-j3Iarriaeof h Celebrated Southern Beauty. LorxsviM,K. April 11. Mrs. Saliw Ward- Lawrence Hunt - Arrastr.'iijj, who has heen known for forty enr-t as Jhe most, beautiful woman in the south, was married for the fourth time last Tuesday night in her pn vate parlors at the Gait House. The groom was (j. J? . Uowns, a weattu; uentleman of high social position ahout 70 vears of age,anil although he had been Mrs. Armstrong's devote i suitor for G years, the wedd ing was en tirely unexpected and' caused a great, social sensation. There were no guests j save three or four of the bride's in-( timate friends and the son and daugh- ter-in-law of the groom. The bride i atDS looked 43. She was simply attired in a Parisian costume 6f cream serge, with gold threads running through j it and trimmed with a fringe made of I gold coins. Her only ornaments were a necklace and bracelets of gold coins. The ceremony was performed by Rev. i George Wiluam AlcUJoskey, iiishon of Louisville. Mr. and Mrs. Downs will reside for the present at the Gait House, but will probably take an ele gant residence in the southern part of the city later on.
