REMARKABLE VICTORY.
SURPRISING STRENGTH OP A
GLADSTONIAN CANDIDATE.
Lord Salisbury Appealed te the Pap Id
Call OS tbe rriests and tkeBeiusal tbe
Keasoa far Salisbury's Recent Remarks
" Against Clerical Interferences.
The liberal victory in the Wisbich division
In England Is a surprise to both sides. The
Gladstone candidate was opposed by power
ful local trade interests, and it was hardly
calculated that he would do any more than
reduce the conservative majority to such a
minimum as would justify a rccontest at
the coming election. Amongst the conserv
ative strength were the publican and
brewer Interests, long dominant in the con
stituency. These were thrown in full
strength against the Gladstonian, whose
victory Is, therefore, all the more signifi
cant. The liberals have private Informa
tion in the nature of communications be
tween the liberal leaders and the Irish
bishops uniting them in a common action
against the government. To counteract the
policy now supported by every bishop ex
cept O'Dwyer, of Limerick, Lord Salisbury
recently renewed the overtures to the Vati
can to intervene and asked the pope to
promise to pronounce on the eve of a gen
eral election a decisive word against epis
copal interferences. The pope's refusal
prompted the premier's recent allusion to
the clerical conspiracy and to the abolition
of the Illiterate voter and his threat to re
duce Irish representation. The conserva
tives now see that the bishops hold supreme
away in Ireland aud that Parncll's deca
dence began on the day the priests deserted
him.
Cannibalism in Africa.
Advices received from Stanley Tails.
Congo free state, Africa, tell of the canni
balism cmong the natives of an armed ex
pedition against them. The natives along
the Lomal river who bad blocked the stream
with hundreds of armed canoes killed and
ate fifty natives friendly to the European?.
An expedition of ten Eurodcann and fifty
Arabs soon after left Stanley Falls to puiib.li
the cannibals, and after a day's battle suc
ceeded in routing them and occupying their
villages. Hundreds of rebellious natives
were killed and wounded. The same advices
also state that tho llakumas around- Stan
ley Falls are returning to cannibalism, and
that several of them have been court-martialed
and executed.
Cat Kibs Make Noes.
K. D. Eowe, of Los Vegas, X. M.. came all
tho way to Decatur, 111., to have a new imc
bridge made for him out of cat ribs. lit
broke his nose in childhood and he lias Ik-i-ii
anything but a beauty since. A doctor in
serted four ribs of freshly killed cat to
take the place of the decayed human Ikiiic.
Seven months ago Mrs. Addic D. Davis, who
had a broken noe, submitted to a similai
operation, and today her noe is as straight
and shapely as that of any belle. The
grafting of cat ribs lias been entirely suc
cessful. Sullivan's Forfeit 1'osteil.
C Charley Johnston, of Brooklyn, 0:1 Id-half

Trains Run Together.
The east-bound express from Salida. on
the Denver & Uio Grande, collided with tin
broad gauge Salt Lake expre-w. going west,
a few miles from Carlisle. Col. The trains
were running at full -peed. The engine aim
front coaches of both trains weie com
pletely wrecked. Five perxiiis were kllle..
and six Injured.
IN THE EAST.
According to Superintendent Porter's1
figures the number of paupers in tho
United States is on the decrease.
Br a collision between a Northern
Central freight train and a Lehigh Val

Ix New York Herman Engelhardt and
Frederick Steinhagen, two 17-year-old
German boys, played Indian, and by a

shooting was accidental.
The annual report of the 'American
Baptist Missionary society shows that
the total amount of appropriations last
year was 8525,826, leaving a debt of
$61,593, caused by enlarged operations.
The association has a permanent fund
of S383.797.
The discovery is made that not a child
had been born in the White Hills school
district, Connecticut, in nine years, and
that the youngest child attending school
is 9 years old. The population is about
500 persons, and the school will have to
be abandoned.
At Springfield, O., the entire force of
yard switchmen, night and day men, on
the Big Four, fifty-three in number,
went out on a strike. The strike is oc:
casionedby the refusal of the superin
tendent of the Cincinnati division to ad
vance the wages to the Cincinnati scale.
Ax explosion of 2,000 pounds of nitro
glycerine which blew S. J. Bigley, the
driver of the wagon containing tho ex
plosive, and a team of fine horses to
atoms, occurred at Washington, Pa. All
that has been found of Bigley is a small
piece of his head, 600 feet from the
scene. Within a radius of half a mile
evenr window was shattered. The shock
was terrific and a hole in the ground
large enough for a cellar is the only
mark of the explosion. It is supposed
that one of the cans was leaking, per
mitting the fluid to escape, the jar of the
wagon exploding it.
Mb. H. W. Ayer, secretary to Presi
dent Polk, of the Farmers' Alliance and
manager in Washington of the reform
press bureau, which is also known as
the "alliance press bureau," says that
the work of sending out circulars de
signed to show the farmers of the coun
try that it was to their advantage to
hold back the wheat crop, was actively
proceeding in Washington as well as in
St. Paul, because of its location in the
great wheat belt. Mr. Ayer said that
there have been 400,003 of these circu
lars sent out from Washington, and dur
ing tbe next few days an average of 100,
000 a day will be mailed until more than
a, million of the circulars altogether are
issued. The circulars, he said, will also
be published in about two thousand
weekly papers with which the bureau is
connected. He remarked that he
Beed not say of course that it was the
sjtrcalar which lias brought about the
result, but he had noticed in a recent
market report that as a matter of fact
the actual movement of wheat was 140
car loads less than had been estimated.
Mr. Ayer said the information
that the issue of such a cir
cular by alliance men was in contefflpla
tion became public prematurely about
two weeks ago, when a circular in
course of preparation Was published in
a newspaper. A final decision to issue
the circular had not at that time been
made abd maily leading alliance men
Were unaware of it, but it lias since
been determined ori. He explained that
the executive committee of tbe alliance
had not acted on this matter and that
by the circular no order was given to
alliance men to hold back their crop,
that being contrary to the methods of
the alliance. What is done by this cir
cular is to give the farmers information
as to facts in regard to the world's
wheat crop, with the suggestion that
wheat some weeks later than the pres
ent time would bring a higher price.
The situation at Stcelton, Pa., is one
of suspense. Both sides arc determined
to stand by their colors. The Amalga
mated association is confident and the
Pennsylvania Steel company declares-its
unalterable determination to bar out
any labor organization from participa
ting in its management. Members of
the Amalgamated association deny that
there will be any violence used in pre
venting men from going to work. There
will be an effort, however, to dissuade
men from going to work until an agree
ment is readied.
IN THE WEST.
Mrs. Nina Van Zandt-Spies, who
married by proxy August Spies, the Chi
cago anarchist, after he had been
condemned to death for participating in
inciting the Haymarket riot, has been
married again, this time to Stefano S.
Malato, an Italian editor. Mr. Spies
gives a version of her marriage to the
anarchist Spies that has not been pub
lished before At the time it was gen
erally supposed that she was desperately
in love with Spies. She says now, how
ever, that the marriage was made under
pressure from her parents and by the
advice of Spies' attorneys. They thought
that tho wedding would throw an at
mosphere of romance about the con
demned and secure executive clemency
for him and save his life. The girl was
then but 17 years old. As every one
knows, the sacrifice- was made iu vain.
G. W. McKay, the Kansas alliance
judge, who never read a page of law
until after his election last fall, has al
ready rebelled against the supreme
court, and has placed a warrant in the
hands of the couuty coroner for the
arrest of the sheriff, who had refused to
obey his orders tinder instructions from
the supreme court. This was the sec
ond positive refusal of McKay to be
bound by the ruling of the supreme
court iu the attempted mortgage fore
closure on a farm owned by Albert
Honeywell by the Commonwealth Loan
and Trust company.
Northwestern- and central Iowa
were visited by another rain and wind
storm only second to the one of a month
ago. The water at Cherokee was within
a short distance of its former mark and
piles of lumber, gathered for rebuilding
the losses of the previous storm, were
swept away long distances and scat
tered. In some places the electrical
display was imposing. The oat crop in
central Iowa is generally a total loss.
At Orange City, Jacob Van Veldhuizen
was killed by lightning.
Observation' has confirmed previous
opinions that the grasshoppers now in
festing portions of eastern Colorado will
not invade Kansas. It is not the de-
structive Rocky Mountain locust which
devoured Kansas in 1874 and 1875, but a
native species of the plains the long
winged locust. This species is now de
vouring the forage grasses of this vicin
ity, but leaves entirely unharmed the
numerous corn fields in the infested
area. One or two good rains would re
pair the damage done to the range.
The Hall-Fitzsimmons fight was not
permitted to come off as advertised at
St. Paul. The churches and many citi
zens, headed by Archbishop Ireland,
mado such vigorous protest that Gov.
Merriam issued a proclamation com
manding the officers to enforce the law.
The sheriff of the county was threat
ened with dismissal if he permitted the
fight to occur, and the state militia was
put in charge of the club house.
THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.
Other methods of settlement for the
difficulty with the miners at Briceville,
Tenn., having failed. Gov. Buchanan
has decided to call a special session of
the legislature and has issued a call for
elections to fill vacancies. In tho call
for the special session he will embody
the recommendation that the con
vict lease system be modified, if not re
pealed. Pending the election the con
victs must return to the Briceville
mines, from which they were evicted.
If the miners agree not' to "molest them
until the legislature acts tho militia will
be sent home. Those best acquainted
with the mountain people believe the
miners will accept the proposition. If
they do not the convicts will return to
Coal Creek accompanied by the militia.
If the state troops cannot furnish ad
equate protection the United States will
be asked to send regulars.
Sherman Harter, a robust man of 27
years of age and a giant in stature, died
at the St. Joseph, Mo., city prison in
horrible agony from hydrophobia. He
was bitten over the eye two years ago
while playing with a kitten, and suffered
no trouble from it until recently, when
he felt a pain near the old wonnd. At
the sight of water he was seized with
convulsions. He was taken to the hos
pital and shortly afterward there en
sued an awful struggle between him and
five attendants, who tried to control
him. He was finally strapped to a bed,
but not until he had almost killed two
of the assistants. Injections of mor
phine seemed to have no effect on him.
Later he was removed to the city prison
for greater safety, and after awful
agony died in a convulsion.
The express car of the Pacific Express
company was boarded as it was leaving

Johk II: Baldwin', state engineer df
irrigation, says 'the fine encouraging
crop conditions all over the state have
not lessened the demand for artesian
wells. Farmers, if possible, are more
deeply interested in the subject of irri
gation now than at any time since the
question was first agitated in the state.
Experiments thus far have proved very
satisfactory and demonstrated the feasi
bility of irrigation in South Dakota by
means of artesian wells. Where ex
periments have been made by thoso who
have given the subject careful study the
results have been all that could be de
sired, while in some instances they have
indeed beon wonderful. Mr. Baldwin Is
of tho opinion that next season the
present crop acreage will-be more than
doubled and irrigation carried on even
more extensively than is now anticipated.
There is a growing interest in this sub
ject throughout the state, and the pres
ent season's crops will put money into
circulation and enable many farmers to
perfect their arrangements for exten
sively engaging in farming by irrigation
the coming year.
Wheat rrosperts in South Dakota.
Crop prospects in South Dakota con
tinue favorable. In all parts of the
state, except in the extreme north, in
and around Brown county, whero crops
have suffered from a scarcity of rain
fall, tbe showing for wheat has never
been equaled. In the southern part of
the state the stand of corn is unusually
fine, while oats aro of thick and heavy
growth. The southern counties have
been blessed with an almost super
abundance of raiu and tho absence of
hot winds. The granaries of the state
will be heavily taxed to hold the enor
mous crop which will be harvested this
fall.
A Promising invention.
H. W. White, of Yankton, claims to
have an invention that will surpass any
thing in the line of motors. He claims
it,vill utilize the entire force from an
artesian well. The loss sustained by
present iuventious, owing to friction
and "back clashing,'' is claimed to have
been overcome. A patent is applied for
and officials hi the patent office inform
Mr. White that he has something new.
If this proves successful, artesian wells
can be utilized for doing a large amount
of work.
Will Give Itediieil Kates.
At the solicitation of the South Da
kota world's fair executive committee
the Pierre hotels have agreed to reduce
their rates one-fourth to members of
the legislature in case an extra session
is held to make an appropriation for the
South Dakota exhibit at the Columbian
exposition. It is now practically cer
tain that an extra session will be held.
To Kxhiblt Their Products.
A meeting was held at Scotland by
prominent citizens of that and Yank

carry out the plan of Immigration Agent
Powell, of the Milwaukee road, to send
a car of agricultural products to the G.

August.
Washed Away Their Lands.
The Missouri river is reported rather
high near Vermillion. Reports say that
it is washing out considerable land above
there. Andrew Anderson, living near
the city, had three acres of his land
washed into the Missouri last week, aud
the washing process continues.
THE NEWS IN NEBRASKA.
Events Great and Small or Interest AU
Around the State.
Sugar beet prospects have advanced
several points in Nebraska during the
last ten days, and the outlook is decided
ly encouraging. It seems the first crop
two years of the experimenting with the
represent the extremes, last year being
the dry est season known for twenty
years, and this season going to the oppo
site extreme to an extent never before
known in Nebraska. If the crop will
succeed fairly well under such condi
tions, what may be expected in an
average season? There is every reason
to believe that in less than five years
the beet crop will be acknowledged the
gilt edged product of Nebraska.
Left to the Legislature.
Hon. John C. Watson, chairman of
the Nebraska republican state central
committee, is receiving many letters of
inquiry from all parts of the state in re
gard to whether or not the committee
will recommend the election of a govern
or this fall. Mr. Watson has the legal
opinion of many prominent lawyers
throughout the state and their ideas aro
so varied that the question has been
submitted to the attorney general of
the state who will give his opinion in a
few days. "At first' said Mr. Watson,
"I was of the opinion that John M.
Thayer could legally holdover, but since
carefully reading up on the law and
counselling with the leading lawyers I
am satisfied that it will be perfectly
proper to go ahead and elect a govern
or this fall." Mr. Watson said he would
soon call a meeting of the state commit
tee and then the matter could be thor
oughly discussed as to whether or not
the office of governor should be inserted
in the call.
Lightning's Fearrut Work at ilartington.
During a heavy thunder shower at
Ilartington, Neb., the farm residence of
Jerry Corson, about ten miles- south
west of the city, was struck by light
ning. Mr. and Mrs. Corson aud little
child, ail occupying one bed. were se
verely stunned by the shock. There
were no other inmates of the house at
the time and the entire family remained
unconscious for several hours. Mr. Cor
son was the first to recover, and shortly
after the baby revived. Mrs. Corson re
ceived a very heavy shock and it was
not until after several hours' labor that
she was restored. The hair on one side
of her head was burned away and tbe
ilesli on the same side of her body was
severely scorched. Her recovery is
doubtful.

FOREIGN JOTTINGS.
A full return of the property ant
revenues of the Church of England
lately presented to parliament by tht
ecclesiastical commissioners, has beet
published. It shows that tho aggregate
incOmd Of the fchureh amounts U
5,753,557; df which 5,469,171 s de
rived front ancient enaowmcrits and
284,386 from private benefactions since
i.703; Lands, tithe rent charges add
other sources df .income; now held bj
the occupants of archiepiscopal and
episcopal sees, produce a gross total ol
81, 827 from ancient endowments, and
of 11,081 from private benefaction
since 1703. Cathedral and collegiate
churches control property to the ycarij
valuo of 192,400, tho whole of it from
ancient endowments. The holders ol
ecclesiastical benefices receive from va
rious sources a gross income of 3,941,
057 from ancient endowments and 272,
60S from private benefactions since 1703.
The returns do not cover the enormous
sums expended on the building, restora
tion, or repairs of churches, or th
actual number of priests and curates
engaged in parish work, and to this ex
tent Is more or less vague and unsatis
factory. Lord Salisbury s adhesion to tht
triple alliance appears to have beec
made with due regard to the protection
of English interests in Egypt aud India.
The conference of the emperor and
Hcrr Von Biebenstelu. Prussian minis
ter of state, with Lord Salisbury, has
materially altered the whole course ol
German foreign policy. Only a partial
indication of the drift of the entente
concluded at Hatfield house has trans
pired, but enough is known to suggest
that Lord Salisbury obtained assurance:
from tho emperor that the Franco-Russian
projects against England's posses
sions in the east will be met with open
German support of England. An entente
is thus established all around, the ar
rangemeut aiming at an Asiatic as well
as a European equilibrium. Opinion
concurs that 'Lord Salisbury has got the
best of the bargain, securing a positive
check upon French schemes against the
Egyptian occupation and Russian en
croachments iu India without commit
ting England to armed intervention in
support of Germany.
It is a significant indication of the
friction between Prince itisiu.irck and
the German kaiser that at the very time
the latter was in England seeking the
good will or its pcopl-" .uul the support
of its government for the dreibund the
former sounded a note of warning to the
German people in tit:: colums of hi;
organ, the Hamburger Xarhrlchten, of
the folly of entering into an alliance
with that country. It is given out that
the reasons for thi; warniiiK, as set
down by the ex-chancellor, are, first,
that such an alliance could not bo per
manent, as administrations in England
arc not permanent: aud. second, that
such an alliance would be certain to be
offset by an alliance between Russia and
France.
Acting Secretary Wharton, of the
department of state, has received a cable
gram f romMinister Reid saying:"Thc bill
fixing the duty on pork was not reached
iu the French senate before tho final
adjournment.' It is understood at the
department that the bill was attached
to the new tariff bill and the failure of
the senate to consider tho pork section
before adjournment was caused by tho
intervention of other measures.
The locomotive of a freight train was
struck by lightning near Oberglocahau,
Germany, and the fireman aud engineer
were killed. The conductor first real
ized that something was wrong when ho
noticed that the train dashed along
without any regard for signals. He
crawled along the outside of the cars to
the engine and got his hand on the
throttle just iu time to avert a collision.
Two murders similar in character to
thoso perpetrated by Jack the Ripper
have occurred in Marseilles. A man
giving an Italian name twice took rooms,
accompanied by a woman, and in each
case the woman was afterward found
murdered, having been strangled and
then mutilated. A letter sent to the
police stated that these crimes were tho
beginning of a series.
A serious epidemic is reported as
raging in Manabi, Panama, but the na

In speaking of the revival 6f trashiest
how so noticeable; R. a Dun & Co.'
review of trade says:
The general confidence is strengthen
ed by the financial news from Europe,
which indicates that disturbance of the
money markets from that quarter need
not now be feared, and by the change In
the foreign trade of this country, which
points to a material reduction of bal
ances payable abroad in specie.
There is a remarkable increase In the
production of pig iron, almost to tho
unprecedented figures of last year. The
sudden increase in production is not In
all respects a favorable symitom. -No
corresponding improvement in the de
mand for manufactured products is yet
seen, and the stocks unsold at only a
part of tho furnaces aro now recorded
as amounting to about 480,000 tons,
showing a very large Increase, particu
larly in coke iron. Unless the demand
rapidly inu.roves the market must soon
weaken so far as to tost severely the
ability of some of tho concerns to con
tinue production. Already there is per
ceptible weakening in tho market at
Philadelphia and some concessions in
price are noted for pig iron and for
plates, whilo the market for structural
Iron is extremely dull.
As usual of late the demand for rails
is scanty, tho demand for railroad bonds
being still dull and disappointing.
Reports from other cities are gener
ally hopeful. Some improvement in the
demand for goods is seen at Boston.
Prospects are considered brighter at
Philadelphia. In spite of the usual
dullness of the season an improving ten
dency is seen at Buffalo, and lake ship
ping revives at Cleveland, with a larger
demand than a year ago. Orders for
clothing an good at Cincinnati, and the
retail trade in dry goods is brisk. At
Detroit manufactures move very fairly,
and at Milwaukee trade is helped by im
proving crop prospects.
Receipts of wheat, dressed bcof, wool
aud hides at Chicago show a great in
crease, and new wheat conies in liberal
ly, 85 per cent, of it grading No. 2. 1 he
c'othing and shoa trades show a large
increase over last week, though in dry
goods the trade shrinks a little.
At St Paul trado is backward but
prospects aio good, and for Minnesota
are especially bright. Bank clearings
at St Louis exceed last year's by 7 per
cent, and monoy is going out to crops
along with freedom, while general trade
in all lines is of lair volume.
At other Northwestern ioints, without
exception, excellent crop prospects are
noted as promising improvement At
Nashville trado is fair, but dull at Mem
phis, unsatisfactory at Little Rock, fall
ing off at Savannah, and sluggish at
New Orleans, though a better demand is
seen for cotton. At Jacksonville trade
Is better, with crops in good condition.
The collapse in wheat speculation has
come witli a fall of 8 cents during the
past week, but corn is scarce, and 3?
cents higher, whilo oats have declined
about 1 cent Pork and hog products
ao higher, cofleo has risen a quarter,
and oil the same, but cotton is unchang
ed, and the general courso of prices has
beon downward, as Is natural at this
season, the fall during tho past week
having averaged nearly ?i of 1 per cent
PAUPERS IN UNITED STATES.
A Vast Army or Poor Supported at Public
Expense.
The Census Office has issued a bulle
tin on the subject of paupers in alms
houses in 1S90, which shows a total ol
73,045, as against 60,203 in 1880. These
are divided according to sex and color as
follows: Number of males (white), 37,
3S7; number of males (colored), 3,354;
number of females (white), 26,101; num
ber of females (colored), 3,113. The
ratio of almshouse paupers to the total
population was 1 to 758. The present
rato is 1 to 857. This is a very marked
roiative decrease. The decline is due to
tho very much smaller number of pau
pers cared for in the North Atlant'a
division. In respc-t to nativity, not in
cluding the colored paupers, of the 60,
578 whito paupers, 3ti,S5U aro native
born, 27,648 foreign-born, and the place
of birth of 2,274 unknown. The nu
merical order of the States according to
tho number of paupors in almshouses
reported in each of them is as follows:

Werkesl at Kescas.
A wind storm of terrific violence
swept over West Superior, Wia , carry
ing death and destruction In its path.
The widd was accompanied by pouring
rain, and the air was heavily charged
with electricity. i
The storm lasted only about thirty
minutes, but during that period many
thousands of dollars of damage wai
done, besides the) loss of at least five
lives and the visiting of terrible Injuries
upon many parties.
During the progress of the storm an
alarm of fire was turned In from th
Fifth Ward, and the department re
annnded to find- the near largo three-
story frame hotel on Third street, acal
Lamborn avenue, a mass of ruina Th
structure had blown down and the erf
west from a hundred excited in'divldaall
that the wreck was the tomb of manf
men.
The news flashed oyer the city with
startling rapidity. Hacks and drays
containing their loads flew to the scene
of the disaster. Meantime the rain was
falling in torrents and thunder was
crashing like artillery.
In spite of the pouring rain, the vis
itors at the scene rushed in and assisted
the firemen in the causo of rescue.
Men of all professions and walks of life
stood shoulder to shoulder and worked
with only the thought of humanity's
sake, fresh men taking the places ol
those who gavo up through fatigue.
Fully 3,000 people were at the ruins.
The dead were: John Laur, married,
aged 30 years; Charles Lucius, single,
24 years; Herman Paussey, single, 21
years; unknown man, about 35 years ol
ago; John Suhofield, died from injuries
received in back and broken limbs.
Among the more seriously injured are:
John Brown, broken legs; John Long,
internal injuries, it is thought ho will
die; William Semple, Dick Clark and
others wero injured more or less se
riously. Drs. Connor and Wylie did excellent
work in tho matter of caring for the in
jured and providing for their conveyance
to St Francis Hospital,
The assistant chief of the firo depart
ment sustained a broken leg during the
work of rescue. Whilo a rope wai
straining on a mass of broken frame
work, the crib-work to which it was at
tached parted and struck him.
A scene of intenso excitement reigned.
Men worked with desperation, and many
a good suit of clothing was gladly sacri
ficed to tbe work of rescue.
It was pitiful, too. Women ran abonl
regardless of rain and mud, wringing
their hands and crying, filled with the
terrible fear that their husbands ol
brothers had been buried in the rnins.
An eve-witness to the disaster says he
saw a crew or workmen run in the build
ing to seek shelter from the storm.
Fully thirty or forty men must have
been inside. They were distributed over
all the floor. It appears that tho men on
the third floor took the warning first
and were seen to jump and 'getaway
in safety.
This disaster was the central feature,
but much damage was dono in all direc
tions. The steel hoisting and conveying
apparatus employed by Silver Creek and
Morris and Ohio Coal Companies was
badly damaged, how much cannot be
ascertained at present, but It will bo
very costly and delay the handling of
coal from vessels. Experts have been
telegraphed for to come on from Cleve
land at onco to repair the damage.
A largo frame building was blown
down at the corner of Third and Lower
streets, South Superior, and the steel
plant reports a number of buildings
leveled, but no casualties.
Lightning played havoc with the
Fisher Hotel, the Unitarian Church, the
Union Depot, and other buildings, but
no serious fire resulted. Had one broken
out it wou!d have found the city prac
tically helpless.
DUG HIS OWN GRAVE.
A Caiforala Miner's Strange Death la a
Cauyon Near the Snow Line.
The Sheriff of Fresno County. Call
fornia, started into tho mountains In
quest of two murderers. In a lonely
canyon, the approach to which was al
most inaccessible, he found a complete
set of miners tools, and upon further
search the body of a man was found in
an open grave, which was cut into the
solid granite rock, llesido the grave
was a note written in lead pencil, which
read: "My nam- is Dave Mcneer; 1
have lived like a doviL but will die like
a man. Xov. "O. " The body was cov
ered with transparent ice eighteen
inches deep, which filled tho grave. It
is supposed that the miner, crazed by
loneliness and disappointment, had dug
the grave, laid himself in it, and draw
ing across his body a slab of granite,
which still rested there, was drowned
by the water which trickled into the ex
cavation. The body was well preserved
by the ice around it, which had not
thawed since last falL
Net Such Bis Crops After AIL
President Frank McGrath, of the
Kansas Farmers Alliance, says the es
timates of Secretary Mohler of the wheat
crop of Kansas are altogether too high.
From reports received by him from
nearly every county in the State he es
timates that the yield will not exceed
fi0,0C0,C00 bushels, and possibly not more
than 55,000,000. Mr. McGrath's reports
indicate that tho corn crop will be un
usually large.
Miss Margaret Smith's lately deter
mined claim for 20,000 against the es
tate of the deceased Mr. Park, of Lon
don, almost rivaled the baccarat case.
Miss Smith was described as "an Irish
lady of gentle birth, good education and
considerable attainments.' Mr. Park
died four years ago, aged 82, leaving
100,000. Thereupon Miss Smith pro
duced a contract which bound Mr. Park
to pay her 30,000 if she succeeded in
carrying his son John. Twenty thou
sand pounds were guaranteed to her in
case of failure. The trial showed that
Miss Smith was possessed of a pasalota
for litigations. She had had fifteen of
them for all sorts of purposes. In this
rase she swore that youug Park had
asked her to marry him, and had given
her a ring, ali of which the young man
denied, and at last Miss Smith lost her
case.
TnoMAS Mausiialt. and Fred Grace,
of Xewcastle, Pa., were out hunting
frogs the other day and captured a crea
ture not described in the books. It is a
frog with wings nnd a tail something
like a fantail pigeon It weighs exactly
nine ounces. Tbe wings are composed
of elastic-like skin, and when stretched
out measured nine inches from tip to
tip. When the frog bird is in tbe water
the wings and tail fit closely to the body
and are hardly noticeable.
A house cat belonging to J. C. Barry,
ef Pine Hill, Fla., caught a large rabbit
the other night and dragged it to the
bouse aad into the kitchen, where the
eat had a let of kittens to feed. The
eat was fallowed by a huge rattlesnake,
who colled himself up by the stove,
probably waiting for a share of the rab
bit, but the rattle attracted the attention)
ef the family, and his snakeship
takkly dispatched.
