Brasier, Pa., July so, ISM
A GRANGE of the Patrons of Hus
bandry has been loaned in Hayfield,
Crawford county. This is the sitth
in the State, and the only one west
of the mountains.
To reduce a man's salary because
he gets married is not to treat liim
very well; yet that was done in the
case of Bishop Morris of Ohio, who,
being 80, or thereabouts, took to
himself a young wife. He used to
:et $3,500; he now gets $1,500.
NEW SuRSCRII3ERS to the ARGUS
are coining in more rapidly now than
they have for a long time before. A
fact which goes to show that the so
ber second thoueht of the people in
clines them to rd Independent
newspaPers, than to the abject
sort whose editors dare not call their
souls their own.
WE told the readers of the ARGUS
time after time last year that the fi
nances of the country were badly
managed. and that unless a change
was brought about, wide-spread ru
) in would be the result. The answer
was: "You are a traitor to your par-
ty." We wonder if a good many peo
ple hereabouts are not beginning to
see things now as we saw them then.?
THREE hundred farmers of Web
ster County, lowa, met at Fort
Dodge on Saturday last to elect dele
gates to the Farmers' State Conven
tion, which meets at Des Moines on
August 13. The platform adopted
shows little love for old parties and
professional politicians. It denoun
ces the existing corruptions of all
kinds, and expresses the conviction
that "the offices, salaries, and per
quisites should be so reduced as to
compel political bummers, wire
workers, and office-seekers to seek
some other avocation for a livelihood.
THERE have been a good many
vigorous denunciations of the back
pay swindle, but a convention of
farmers in Kansas has improved on
any of the forms heretofore noticed.
In a concise preamble they character
ize the swindle as "one of the most
outrageous steals known to the civil
ized world," and added: "Whereas,
I). P. Lowe, our Congressman, sup
-ported the bill; Resolved, That we
demand that he resign his seat in
i:ongress, that his place may be filled
I.)y an honest map instead of a thief."
Mr. Lowe roust consider the refer
ence to hitnielf as slightly personal,
if not as indicating a waning of his
popularity
THE Democracy of Mercer county,
this State, have been sorely afflicted
within the past three or four weeks.
lion. M. C. Trout, one of their fore
most and most highly honored men,
died while on a pleasure trip at
Mauch Chunk a short time ago, and
only last week. Rilliam McKnight
esq. vrashtiiind dead in his bed in
Merc-ci; Mr. Trout was the chair
man of the Democratic county Com
tnittee and Mr. McKnight was its
secretary. Both of these gentlemen
in ea - eh - case aTtnost without a mo
ments warning—has cast a ,gloom
over the whole region in which they
lived.
Republican convention in
lowa incorporated in their platform
an article declaring it . "the duty of
every republican to oppose the elec
tion of bad men to office, whether
nominees of the republican party or
not." Hereupon an lowa paper of
the republican persuasion, the Cher
ol.-ee, takes the benefit of thiS decla
ration by dropping from the republi
can state ticket the name of Gover
nor Carpenter, whose nomination for
re-election it regards as one eminent
ly unfit. to be made. It is a whole
some sign of the times that the lowa
republican convention has deemed it
expedient expressly to enjoin upon
republicans the duty of opposing the
election of bad men, whether on their
own or any other ticket.
THEY appear to have heard, some
thing drop out in lowa, as well as
rverywhere else. The people have
got the idea that all things are not so
lovely as they might be, and that
some sort of a change is necessary.
The feeling is thus described by the
Burlington Gazelle: "The people are
restive, uneasy, and nervous. There
is something wrong. They feel it
and know it. The tyranny of party
has brought about a bad state of af
fairs in the country; and perhaps no
State in the North is suffering any
worse than lowa. The produce
which her farmers raise cannot be
got to market without giving two
thirds of - it as a transportation fee.
No intelligent man need be told that
this is wrong. It is a self-evident
fact. There is a question which is
more perplexing, and that is, what
is the cause of this, and how is it to
be remedied? It is evident to just
and fair men that the political party
under which these evils have grown
cannot reform them. These errors
are a part of its policy and a part of
its corrupt practices, by which it re
tains its power, so that nothing can
be expected from them. A new par
ty or new influences must work the
reform."
GENERA L BUTLER, it seems is not
to be allowed to walk over the Gub
ernatorial race course in Massachu
setts without opposition. On last
Friday quite a large number of influ
ential Republicens, including Hon.
Henry L. Dawes and Judge Hoag•
held, a meeting in Boston, at which
it was determined to resist Butler's
nomination with every appliance
they could get hold of. The meeting
here referred to was addressed by
Judge Hoar, who denounced the sal
ary grab in unmeasured terms, look
ed upon Butler as the author of that
measure, and believed Massachusetts
would be disgraced and the Reptibli
can party virtually ruined if it put
the hero (?) of Fort Fisher in its front
rank.
Up until the present time no can
didate has been brought forward
against Butler; now however the
present Governor—Washburn—is
again named for the office, and as he
is popular with the people, it is be
lieved that Butler catf' be beaten in
the race by him. It is to be hoped,
at least, that the fight in that State
will result in the defeat of Butler and
Butlerism.
THE New York Tribune of July
23 thus refers to an 'interview
between the woman now con.
fined -in one of the jails of that city
for the murder of lilt. Goodrich, and
her father:
- Burros.
Katz Stoddard was surprised and ap
parently rejoiced yesterday by the arri
val st R a ymond-at. jail of her father,
bomb King, who left his home in Ply-
month, Mass., on Monday morning, ac
companied by his son-in-law and 0. T.
Gray, an attorney, who had consented to
defend the murderess. When they
reached the Jail they were at once con
ducted to the prisoner's cell, although no
information bad been given her of their
arrival, and she, at firsteight, supposing
them to be strangers, ran into her apart
ment as though determined not to be
seen. But in a few momenta she recog
nized her father's voice, and then with
a glad cry of joy she ran up to him and
throwing her armitabout his neck, kiss:
ed him repeatedly, and both shed tears.
Mr. Gray and the son-in-law left the
corridor during the interview between
Kate and her father, and occupied them
selves for an interval of several hours in
making a tone of the prison. Mr. King
bad a long and earnest conversation
with his unhappy daughter, and while
talking they walked up and down the
corridor, she hanging on his arm and
talking freely of her past life. Iminedi
ately after the Interview, Mr. King left
the jail, and returned to New York City.
Be declined to make any statement re
garding his daughter.
CONSIDERING that this is an "off"
year in politics the Minnesota Re
publican Convention must have been
an unusually lively affair. The
newspapers of that State declare that
the result is nothing more nor less
than a revolution in the political his
tory of the State. Thus the St. Paul
Dispatch remarks: "The nomination
of Davis was a political revolution.
It means that the young. active and
Intellectual element In the Republi
can party has come to the front and
proposes to establish a new order of
things. It means that the political
life of Alex. Ramsey and his imme
diate adherents has terminated, and
that the iron rule of a corrupt ring
can no longer sway the destinies of
the State, making and unmaking
men at will."
A DESTRUCTIVE fire broke out,
last Friday morning in Baltimore in
the square of which Howard and
Lexington-sta. form the south-west
corner, and swept diagonally through
to the Cathedral, on the corner of
Cathedral and Mulberry-sts. Oppo
site the Cathedral, on the south side
of Mulberry-at., is Maryland Univer
sity. The west wing of this building
was burned through to the ground,
and the east wing slightly damaged.
The Presbyterian church where the
last Assembly was held was totally
destroyed, and a small German
Lutheran church also. The Cathe
dral and Church of St. Alphonsus,
both large Roman Catholic edifices,
were several times on fire, but were
saved. The fire in several portions
of the burned district swept rapidly
through the roofs, and the lower
portions of whole rows leftreely dam
aged. This seemed to be caused by
the large number of shingle roofs,
which were so exceedingly dry as to
burn like grass. In this way the fire
actually crossed over streets in which
the engines continued to work, and
left a portion of the fire brigade
working in the very center of burn
ing blocks. Water was so nearly ex
hausted before the fire was under
control as to make it necessary to
The Waifiiughin engines Ca'riie — oVer•
iu about 50 minut es , and their arri
val was most opportune, and the fact
that the control of the fire was se
cured during the afternoon and a
night conflagration averted, was due
largely to their presence. At 5:30 P.
m., the tire was so nearly out that
about half the engines were relieved.
A cessation in the wind and the ef
forts of the fire and salvage brigade,
together with the large organized
force of citizens operating with ex
tinguishers and buckets, checked its
progress just on the western and
southern limits of the finest section
of residences in the city. About ten
blocks have been partly burned; be
tween three and four of these totally.
The section destroyed was chiefly
occupied by small stores and facto•
ries, and for the most part, except on
the eastern and northern limits, with
common class residences. The loss
Is estimated at $1,000,000. Insur
ance will probably reach one half of
that amount.
THE Erie Obserrer says: We have
it from a responsible source that
when the salary grab bill was before
Congress, two of the new members
elect, Mr. Richmond, of the Craw
ford district, and Mr. Moore of the
Lawrence district, were in Washing
ton, asking and begging for its pass
age. Mr. Moore pathetically appeal
ed to a sitting Congressman, "Oh,
do vote for the increase; it can't hurt
you and will be a good thing for us
who take seats at the next session."
We commend the case of these indi
viduals to the Consideration of the
newspapers in tneir districts, all of
which, we believe, are professed ene
of the salary job.
So far as Mr. Moore is concerned'
we do not believe a word of the
above. His wi•II known. diffidence,
his easy financiai conditon and above
all, the natural desire to steer clear
of all unpopular measures so that
defeat would not be in store for him
when he comes to be a candidate for
the second term, all combine to
stamp the Obierver's story as not
only untrue but silly in addition.--
BUTLER had an excitement lust
week. A Mr. Snyder, a respectable
man of that town was taken sudden
ly ill, and the Doctor called in to
prescribe for him gave it as his opin
ion that the man was poisoned. Sny
der,however got better, but before, he
fully recovered, he took worse again,
and the doctor alleged that he had
received thesecond dose. The doctor
Insisted upon the removal of his pa
tient to his (the patient's) brother's
house, where he is now domiciled
and believed to begetting well. The
coffee-pot in Snyder's house was ex
amined, arsenic found in it, and a
good deal of other circumstantial ev
idence procured, all going to show
that Mrs. S. undertook to put her
"lord" out of the way so she could
marry one Foreman who had cap
ured her affections, and wanted her
for a wife. Foreman was also mart
ried and lived in the same building
with theSnyders:' Mrs. Snyder and
Foreman were arrested early in the
week, and on Friday they had a pre
liminary hearing before a justice,
who held them both for trial at the
October term. As neither of them
could give bail they were both sen.
to prison. The testimony against
them is quite clear and their convic
tion of an attempt to murder Mr.
Snyder I ts almost a foregone con
clusion.

"Father," he wildly cried, "do you

the Governor, "you'll never be as

—Husbands will need to be partic

their testimony she has gone to law

doubtless depend largely on the re

or so in peace and happiness in Italy.
She then emigrated to this country
to be near her son, and made, as

"her regular exercise, her regular

regularity of her diet seemed, upon

which she has carried out into the
world, and which was doubtless
bought with ecclesiastical tithes. It
is announced from Salt Lake that the
Gentile society sympathizes strongly
with Ann Eliza, and that three lead

We imagine that outside of Utah,
the public will waste very little sym
pathy over the case. A woman who
marries a man wbo already has six
teen wives is what plain-spoken wo
men call "a nasty thing," and if she
gets tired - of her bargain, she can do
no better than repent quietly and
modestly. As to suing her partner
in polygamy for a divorce and a
maintenance, she has no right to
drape herself in such conjugal fash
ions as these.

MEDICINE LODGE, I. T., July 5.
Medicine Lodge, the great rendez

in more northern latitudes, are forced
to seek the mere succulent pasturage
Mid genial airs of the South, can at

wild and lawless region. There,

ders cornmi all along thiroughout
this section co entry, and outrages
without number, and all without
eliciting more than a few passing
comments; but a duel a. l'oulrance
such as was'fought in the soft twi
light of yesterday evening between
two notorious frontier characters was
an exception—a novelty hitherto un
heard of—and in ' consequence pro
duced a tremendous amount of ex
citement among those who witnessed
it. It was a horrible affair through
out, both men being literally shot
and hacked to pieces, and finally
dying locked' in each other's em
brace. Before, however, entering
into the details of the fight itself I
venture a slight description of the
Lodge and the immediate locale
causes of the duel.
Medicine Lodge is in the very
heart of the Indian nation, about a
hundred miles south of the Kansas
1 frontier, and, on account of its pecu-
I liar natural advantages as a hunting
rendezvous, is annually the resort of
a large number of both whites and
Indians. Directly on the main line
of travel pursued by the buffalo in
his migrations from south to north
and vice versa, from being original
ly a simple trading station with the
Indian it has risen to the dignity of a
settlement, though the houses, with
the exception of two rather good
sized buildings, used for storage pur
poses, are but five in number and of
most unimposing dimensions.
In the centie of the "settlement"
stands a huge log cabin occupied by
Job Harding, a Kentuckian of enor
mous strength and stature, who, in
addition to his pursuits as hunter and
trapper, adds to his income by keep
ing a small stock of goods, which he
exchanges with the Indians for pelts
and hides, and sells to such parties
as happen to run short of supplies.
This cabin is divided into five
compartments, two of which the tra
der reserves for his own use. and two
serving as a store and bar-room.
The latter, in view of the character
of the customers of the place. is, of
course, extensively patronized, being
usually crowded with a motley class
of Indians, hunters, and half-breeds
to whom strong drink from sheer
force of indulgence has become a ne
cessity, and gaming the inevitable
occupation of their leisure hours. A
long, wooden table, rough made but
commodious, extends nearly the
whole length of the room, around
which, in lieu of chairs, are placed
rows of emptied kegs and cracker
boxes for the accommodation of such
as may feel an inclination to play.
It thus happens that the game,
which is usually conductEd by
Harding in person, rarely closes, the
press of players filling a seat as soon
as vacated, and the bank keeping
open as long as there is a reasonable
promise of profit.
THE TEXAS DESPERADO
At the faro table I recognized An
derson, the Texas Desperado, the
horse-thief, the celebrated pistol-shot,
the red-handed murderer. I saw
the silver-mounted pistol, now peep
ing out of his breast, send death fa
to the bosoms of three humanheings
in a Newton dance- house, three years
ago. I instinctively recoiled as our
eyes met, and he flashed a look of
tiefrramicnkiimm,.. tip thftg9Gl3o44. l
ecration as a wretch well deserving
of the halter, and had even advised
the formation of a vigilance com
mittee, to inflict on him summary
vengeance. I had no reason, there
fore, to expect his friendship, but, on
the contrary, the full revenge of
which I knew he was capable. lie
kept his seat, however, and Harding
at that moment entering, I quietly
withdrew and hastened to the house
in which the party to which I was
attached had taken up its quarters,
with a view of arming myself.
As I passed along a wing of the
building a voice hailed me by name
from an up-stairs window. Looking
up, the figure of a man appeared, for
an instant, and with a rapid motion
of the hand as if inviting me to as
cend. siuldenly disappeared. Though
not at the time recognizing the per
son who thus hailed me, I was not
left long in doubt, for on mounting
the stairs I encountered the burly
form of an old Newtonian, who at
once grasped me warmly by the hand
and expressed the greatest pleasure
at our meetina.
THE KANSXN DESPEEA DO
"Why, Mcauskey," I exclaimed,
"what brings you here so far out of
your usual beat?'"
"To avenge Mike," he replied.
"But coMe here Into my room,
where we can talk in quiet," at the
same time pushing open the door of
a small room close at hand, which,
after we had entered and he had of
fered HID a chair, he proceeded to
clue and fasten.
"Anderson is here," he resumed,
after seating himself on an old sad
dle which had been fixed up to serve
as a seat. "I have tracked him all
the way from Albilene, where Hud
son has just driven a big herd of
beeves. Old boy, I shall kill Hugh
Anderson to-day. —him," he ex
claimed, starting from his seat, with
clenched hands and eyes blazing
with fury, "—him, I've got him
now, and by —l'll give him what
he gave Mike."
"I don't want to drop on him,"
replied McCluskey. "I'll give hiin
an equal° show. I'll fight him fair
and square with pistol and knife. I
want a good man to back me up and
see fair play."
ANDERSON CHALLENG ED
As I was anxious to witness the
progress of events. I strolled into the
gambling room, and taking a posi
tion where I could easily observe
everything that transpired, quietly
awaited the delivery of the hostile
message. I bad not long to wait.
In a few moments Richards, the
guide, entered, and striding up to
where Anderson was dealing the
cards, bent over him and whispered
in his ear. The players, accustomed
to such interruptions, at first paid no
attention to the delay, and betook
themselves, some to conversation and
others to re-arranging their stakes,
but it soon became apparent that a
subject of more than ordinary inter
est was under discussion. The face
of Anderson, usually set and immo
bile, passed first to an expression of
of blank astonishment, then to a look
of dismay, and finally exhibited un
mistakable signs of fear. Rising
quickly from the table, - he made a
strong effort at self-control, and
briefly announced to the crowd that
the game for the present was closed.
Then, drawing his revolver he pass
ed quickly through the players, who
by this time had crowded close
around him, and attended by Rich
ards entered the store where Hard
ing, surrounded by a throng of Os •
ages, was driving close bargains in
furs and robes.
As briefly as passible Hardings
was made acquainted with the state
of affairs, and his services procured
in behalf of Anderson.
The utmost excitement now pre
vailed. The desire to witness the
duel, the muse of which had already
been bruited about, seized upon one
and all alike, and some of the hun
ters, thinking that their companions,
who were out a little way from the
camp herding their stock, might feel
disappointed at not witnessing the

McCluskey had recovered his
equanimity edlittely on receiv

of his challenge. As he merged.
from the house, where he had made
his brief stay, ho looked a picture of
manly strength and vigor. A tight
fitting buckskin shirt and leggings,
tastefully embroidered, set off his ro•

was apparent to all that, in the event
of a close encounter, he would prove
a terrible antagonist to this rival.

The sun had long since set. and the
dark pall of evening was rapidly
seiting on the spot, 80 that neither
could be annoyed by the rays of the
sun, nor could either side complain
of holding an inferior position. The
crowd drew back to what was deem
ed a safe distance, and the seconds,
after a moment's consultation apart
advanced to give the signal.
The giving of the signal bad fallen
by lot to Harding. Stating to the
principals. who by this time began
to show signs of impatience, that
this would be the report of a pistol,
he drew his own weapon and dis
charged it, first asking the question
and receiving the usual answer that
both were ready.
TIIE DUEL.
McCloskey was the first to fire,
wheeling as he did so, though the
smoke had scarcely curled up from
his pistol before the report of Ander

to trickle down, told the work of his
antagonist, while McCloskey re
mained standing in his original pos
ture, to all appearances unharmed.
But this was not the tact. Those
nearest to him fancied they saw a
sudden spasm, as 01 pain, pass
through his frame, and his face
certainly blanched to a death-like
pallor, but just where the hall had
taken effect they could not tell. At
the second tire McCloskey again an
ticipated his opponent, and taking a
more deliberate alin succeeded in
breaking his left arm. Anderson
uttered a sharp cry and sunk on one
knee, but quif s hiz . recolrerirF
Thi r oir4li r iuskey i s mouth, carried
away with It several of the clenched
teeth and a portion of the tongue,
finally lodging in the base of the
skull. McCloskey staggered for
ward wildly a few steps and made
desperate efforts to steady himself.
The blood poured in torrents from
the wound and stained his hunting
shirt and dripped from the muzzle of
his pistol; but with heroic courage he
continued to advance, spitting out
mouthfuls of blood and teeth at
every step. During, the interval
thus gained 'Anderson, who, in his
crippled state, had every reason to
shun a hand-to-hand encounter, had
not been idle, but fired another well
aimed shot which broke McCluskey's
left shoulder. As if this was not
enough, he sent still another ball
after him, , which, striking him in
tne pit of the stomach, caused him to
fall forward heavily on his face.
51cPlul'key was now mortally
wounded and momentarily growing
weaker from loss of blood. Tearing
open his shirt in his agony a crimson
spot in his lett side indicted the
place where Anderson's first shot
had taken effect. lie still, however,
retained his grasp of his pistol, and
by an effort superhuman in its cool
ness and deliberation fired at his an
tagonist his third shot. The latter
has been closely watching for this,
and endeavored to .save himself by
suddenly dropping to the ground.
Too late, however, McCluskey's
finger was already on the trigger and
his eye along the sights, and when
his adversary's body • reached the
earth it was heavier by a Colt's pistol
ball. A scream of pain followed - and
the spectators saw a figure of a man
clutching wildly with his hands at
the grass and writhing and twisting
in horible contortions. The bullet
had struck him full in the abdomen,
and like his antagonist, Anderson
was now a fast dying man. At this
juncture it seemed as if the crowd
would interfere, but Harding sternly
bade them keep back and leave the
men to sattle the matter in their own
way. As none cared to dispute with
the gigantic hunter, the mandate
was obeyed, though a universal ex
pression of horror ran through the
speetatqrs, n number of whom were
he engineers and attaches of our
party. Still, horrible as was the
scene, no one thought of leaving the
spot. An irresistible fascination _to
see it out bound one and all alike to
the blood-stained locality. But the'
finale was at band—the curtain al
mast ready to drop.
McCluskey, summoning by a su
preme effort his remaining strength,
drew his knife and began to crawl
feebly in the direction of his antago
nist. The latter, who had raised
himself to a sitting posture, saw the
movement and prepared to meet it.
Both had dropped their revolvers.
leaving the cold steel the completion
of the work.
By this time it had grown quite
dark, and to distinguish the move
ments of the combatants required
the closest attention. Anderson was
clearly unable to move any portion
of his body save his right arm. With
this he raised his knife aloft, 'and as
McCluskey crawled up within reach
dealt him a terrible blow in the neck,
cutting muscles and tendons and
veins, and half severing the head
from the body. But the effort was
too much for him, and leaving the
weapon sticking in the wound, he
pitched heavily forward on his face.
Every one supposed that this blow
would have instantly killed AfeClus
key, but strange to say it did not,
for so great was his vitality that be
fore falling he twice plunged his
own knife into the body of Ander
son.
BOTH PA RTPO3 DEAD
A more horrible affair than this
double murder it would be difficult
to imagine. Both men were known
in 'Wichita and along the great stile
trails, and both, to a certain degree,
were popular. While looked on as
desperadoes and bad characters their
undoubted pluck won for them a
feeling ofadmiration. which, if not
akin to friendship, at least secured
them friendly treatment; and I have
no doubt, but that in the minds of
-their own elm' left behind them rec
ollections quite as favorable as would
have been the case had they, instead
of being ruffians, lived virtuous and
pcaceable lives. Tho tale is Soon told.
McCloskey lived a 'minute longer
than his antagonist. The dead txxl
' lesofirmly locked in each other's em
brace, were taken to tho house of
Harding and laid out side by side on
the gaming4able. A crimson trail
marked the path of those who car
ried them in-doors. and pools of
blood indicated the scene of the late
conflict.
