All persons desiring to be candidates at
the coming Democratic primary election are
requested to meet the Chairman of the
County Committee In Armory Hall. Ebena
fears. Vs., on Monday, April 10, 188.H, at 1:30
o'clock r. m. to make arrangemepts for
tirtldlne the prlonry election on Saturday,
June 2d, 1888. James M. Walters.
Chairman of Democratic County Commitee.
.2othino would delight tha RepabH
cans so much as President Cleveland's
withdrawal from the impending contest,
under a false sense of consistency and
delicacy. He is too strong for them.
Hut in this hope they will meet with
aore disappointment.
The Judges of the license court ren
dered their decisions last Friday on the
applications to sell liquor in Pittsburg.
- Of 700 applications 'J IS. or about one
third, were granted and about 100 held
OTtr for future consideration. Before
the high license law went into effect
thtre were 1000 saloons in tbe city.
The Republican pliers having as
serted that Woo. II. Darnum, of Con
necticut, Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee is opposing Cleve
land, that gentlemon nails the falshood
by saying : "There is no stronger
Cleveland man in the country than
T aua. I think he will be renominated
aid feel sure that he will be re-elected."
The late Chief Justice Waite died a
poor man, but he left an untarnished
name to his children which Is more than
can be said at the death of some of the
millionaire members of the United
States Senate who paved the way to
their seats with geld. It is said that
the Chief Justice had to spend nearly
' all bis salary of $10,000 a year in order
that he might keep up the style that was
-demanded from his position. What a
commentary this is ia Washington so
ciety when a man has to spend several
thousands more than is necessary for a
comfortable living in order to maintain
the dignity of bis office.
The Louisiana State election will
take place on next Tuesday and although
the State is Democratic, it will give us
no great surprise to learn that the Re
publican candidate for Governor is elect
ed. The fe ud between the friends of
McEnery, the present Governor, who
desired a re-nomination, and the sup
porters of ex-Governor Nicholls who
received the nomination after a three
days struggle at the State Convention,
is very bitter and may lead to a Demo
cratic defeat. A Washington city dis
patch says : "The most reliable inform
ation received bv the Louisiana Con
gressmen is to the effect that the Dem
ocrats will certainly carry the State,
and If it should tnrn out otherwise it
will be a very great eurpr.'se to the party
leaders." A honse divided against
itself, however, cannot stand.
A STAitTEit in the direction of woman
suffrage, as the bill provided for their
votinar at municipal ejections only, met
a peaceful death In the lower branch of
the New York Legislature on last
Tuesday night. The Bhort haired ad
vocates of "women's rights," which
means not only the right to vote, but
also to hold olTioe. didn't know that
their bill would coma up that night,
and with the exception of nine pretty
grile and two wives of Assemblymen,
only one of the eleven being in favor of
the bill, there were no women present
in the House to look after the interests
of their sex. It required only a minute
or two to seal Its late. The sub-committee
of the Judiciary handed in a
brief obituary of the measure and be
fore its friends knew it the bill was
dead, the adverse report of the ccmrnit
tee being agreed to without a roll call.
The intense anxiety for the presiden
cy shrwn by John Sherman is making
him a subject of ridicule in tome quar
ters and caustic criticism in others.
He is too eager. Senator Ingalls has
bad printed a letter at a very opportune
time, in which he deals heavy blows at
Mr. Sherman, who it is perfectly well
understood in Washington, Is moving
heaven and earth to get the support of
many of the Southern S ates at the
Chicago convention. The Kansas S?n
ator says in part : "I hope the Il-pub-lican
party will be wise enough to nom
inate a Union soldier for the Presiden
cy, but I doubt it. Some prominent
candidates are busily at work to secure
the ui-wnlcatlon by delegates from the
Southern States, which cannot ca3t an
electoral vote for any Republican. A
long as our candidate Is not selected b
the delegates from those States which
must elect him, the result will be dout
fu'." TnE Washlugtoo correspondent of tit
Philadelphia limes says the President
is giving much attention to the selection
of a person of the requisite abilities and
experience for the Chief Justiceship.
He bas determined, the corresponded
ays, not to make a promotion frm
among the present Associate Justices ot
the Court, nor wil he take acy one from
Lis Cabinet. He has considered tbe
merits of the many person j whose
names have been brought to his atten
Xion, but they are beyond the age upon
hicn he has Qxed. The President ha
intimated to those who have conversed
with him that Le Intends to select a
altab!e person, not over sixty, and
wouli prefer to Cnd ore of fifty-Ore.
He evidently does not intend to ac
unll be does find someone fitted for lb
place, who comes within thoa limits o
years. The President will not apnoio
a man from the South an 1 would prefri
to go West if he can find the right uu
in that sect o . Jle will be in no fcurrv
About making a selection and when h
discovers thu light man for the place b
will name him. All of which b'iow
that Mr. Cleveland fully real zjs tti
weighty responsibility that rta'.a u;ji,

factory to the country.
Benjamin Harris Brewster died
at bia residence in Philadelphia on Wed
r. 63 Jay of last week, in the seventy
second year of bis age. At the outset
of hu career in life he acted with tbe
Democratic party, but subsequently be
came a Republican. He stood high in
his profession as a lawyer and was an
elcquent acd forcible speaker. During
the first term ot John W. Geary as Got
ernor of the State, he hi Id the position
of Attorney General, and shortly after
the assassination of President Garfield,
and tbe resignation of Hon. Wayne Mac
Veigh, then Attorney General of tbe
United Slates, President Arthur ap
pointed blm as Mac Veagb's successor.
Tbe death of Mr. Brewster recalls his
scurvy treatment by Governor Geary,
and tbe resulting quarrel nearly twenty
years ago. Geary was a candidate for
re-election in 1SC9, his Democratic op
ponent being Asa Packer. The returns
from Philadelphia were purposely held
back aud Geary was finally counted in
by tbe meagre plurality of 4,500. Mr.
Packer was urged by Democrats as well
as Republicans to contest tbe result,
but as he did not care for the office he
declined doing so. As soon as the so-
called o racial vote was proclaimed Geary
asked Brewster for his resignation,
which that gentleman at first refused to
give and wrote a bitter letter to the
Governor declaring that tbe demand
for his resignation as brought about
by certain men who threatened to count
Geary out unless he (Brewster) was dis
missed. Sabiequently to this lirewster
forwared his letter of resignation to tbe
Governor concluding it in the following
cut and thrust style :
You write to me demanding my re
signation, and assign no cause, but
leave me open to imputations, to which
1 will not submit. I will not permit
you, at the instance of a class you de
nounced to me as corinpt factionists,
atid one of whom you instructed me to
prosecute, and after yon have answered
your own convenience and recoived my
help, thas to evict me from a place I
never sought and which you solicited
me to accept, and which I hare held
with due respect to my public duty and
my own honor.
After this course of dapMcity or vacil
lation, to mo is is indifferent which,
serve with ycu I cannot and will not,
and you may hold my office vacant, and
1112 it with whomsoever will b9 base and
mean enough to iuu tbe risk of like
treatment, or receive it as the price of
some dishonorable Dargain.
The following double-leaded editorial
from th9 last issue of the Washington
Sunday Capital, an administration
paper, shows, if the writer is correctly
informed, that the uewspaper scandals
of tbe last Presidential campaign are to
be surpassed during the one now ap
proaching. The Cajiital says :
''Intimations come to us from various
quarters that, in view of tbe existing
probability that tha present administra
tion is to be continued for another four
years, the mud batteries of the Repub
lican rresa are being loaded up for a
malignant and scandalous assault upon
the President ot the United States and
soma of the members of his cabinet.
It is reported thai-, in the hope of influ
encing the action of the convention to
be held at St. Louis during tbe first
week in June, there is in contemplation
a grand dump of the mud now being
collected rrior to the meeting of that
oonvention. We do not propose to in
dicate what is the purport of tbe narra
tives with which these mnd machines
are eaid to be charged, but we under
stand that for atrocity and baseness
they have never been excelled in the
histoiy of political warfare in tbe Uni
ted States.
"It seems to us that it will require a
good deal of courage for any newspaper
to undertake the publication ot the
scoundrelly stuff which is now in pro
cess of preparation, but it Is repotted
that encouragement In the work H fur
nished from high quarters. We hear it
said that two Senators ot the United
States are among th abettors of the
proposed mtack upon the bead of the
Government and nU advisers. Weil,
all we hi'-e to Fay is that the Constitu
tion of the United States does not for
bid the election of a fool to the United
States Senate. We presume. If this re
port be correct, that these bt at esmen are
so fully prepared for a public examina
tion of their own private lives and fami
ly relations that they can afford to fiacre
as the patrons and employers of a band
of txrt rt liars in ihe manufacture of
scandals against men for whom the
American people entertain the greatest
possible respect."
Although the Democrats did not
succeed in earning the Rhode Island
election last week, they reduced Blaine's
majority of over C.000 three years ago,
to less than 2,000 for Tat t, the Republi
can can iidate for Governor. A reduc
tion of 4,000 in the Republican majority,
and that too on a full vote, dont look
much like a victory for the grand old
party, so called. In addition to tb!s it
is a consolation to know that the Con
stitutional Amendment abolishing the
property qualification for voters of
foreign birth was adopted, thus placlug
thousands of foreign born citizens on
the registry lists. Heretofore In that
State every foreign Lorn citizen w;
reqnired !? ctri HZl worth of taxed
property before he could vote for State
officers. There are over 31,000 such
cit z-ns in the S ate, but as tney could
not vote even if they were naturalized,
only a few except those having the ne
cessaty property have taken the trouble
to lj natura!:zed. It Is estimated that
about 3,000 of these foreign born citi
zens had piid the ncesiary taxt-s and
were qualified to rot- at the late elec
tion, and that 4.00J oth?rs had been
naturalized, but could not rote owing to
the property q'uliflca'i.oo. Trie law
requires registration in December for
voting in the following year, so that
only the 4 0 ) aire ad r na:uralud will
be able to get on the registry Mas and
vote next year. In three years from
now at least 20,00'J new voters will take
part in the election The Republicans
opposed fie amendment to the bitter
end and the Democrats are confident
its adoption will revolutionize the polit
ical complexion of the S'.ate.
Jacob Shaiu died In Xw York a
week ago last nteht. His death was
the result of a complication of heart
disease, bronchitis, and worry 07er the
legal troubles in whioh he has so long
been involved. Oit of respect for the
ancient nd charitable maxim, "say
nothing of the dead except tbat which
is good," any rrc meat row upon his
alleged corrupt dealings with the City
Board of AlJerme i in 1?4 which pre
cipitated his downfall, would be out
of place. A higher and anpreme tribu

Irish League Sterlings Dispersed.
Kilrcsh. April 8. On Saturday
night some policemen who were trying
to prevent the erection of a platform
for tbe meeting announced to be fceid
to-day were pelted with stones by a mob
and compelled to charge tbe crowd.
Tec persons were seriously wounded
with batons and bayonets, and two
mounted policemen were injured with
stones.
Mr. Tanner, member of Parliament,
had a meeting outside of Macroom at
5 o'clock this morning. He there burned
a copy of the Government proclama
tion. At 2 p. 3i., the advertised hour,
he attempted to bold another meeting,
when the police removed him from the
ground. There was only slight excite
ment. About G000 persons belonging to the
various league branches of Kilrusb as
sembled at 2 30 P. 31. There was a
laree contingent on horseback. The
police, led by Magistrates Welch and
Irwin, charged tbe crowd, injuring
many. A number of triumphal arches
were torn down. Father Glynn, of
Kilmihill, was attacked by two police
men with rifles. A fanner felled one
policeman to the ground with a black
thorn stick. A i lot being imminent,
tbe Berkshire regiment with fixed
bayonets, led by Captain Lynch, charged
the crowd, and many persons were bad
ly wounded. Order was somewhat re
sided on tbe crowd being appealed to
Ly tbe priests and Messrs. Redmond and
Crilly, members of Parliment.
Mr. Redmond then attempted to or
ganize tbe meetinz which bad been
heretofore announced, but was preven
ted by Magistrate Irwin. Mr. Redmond
protested that the Government's action
in proclaiming the meeting was Illegal.
He and the priests advised tbe multi
tude to disperse.
Messrs. Davitt, O'Connor, Rev. Mr.
Corry and other League leaders left
Carmody's hotel, in Ennis, at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, and drove ten miles
into tbe country, followed by eighty
Hussars under Colouel Turner. By a
preconcerted arrangement Mr. Condon,
M. P.. remained in town to bold tbe
proposed meeting in an nnocuenpied
corn store. This programme leaked
out and a cordon of sol Jiers was placed
around the Ouildinz. The doors of tbe
building had been barricaded, but soon
gave way to sladge hammers in the
hards of tbe police.
This aroused desperate resistance on
the part of the people present, and
many were injured, including a report
er o the Irian Times. Fitly persons
were ai rested, among thrui Mr. Dun
leavy. editor of the Clare 1 n1 pendent ;
Mr. Ilalpln. a Poor Law Guardian, and
Patrick Carmody, a relieving officer.
Rain is falling in torrents. Cavalry
and infantry are patrolling the town.
Mr. O'Brien held a meeting at Lough
rea. While the police were dispersing
the people Mr. O'Brien spoke ten min
utes, lie called the police cowards for
not arresting tim instead of ill-treating
the people. Mr. O'Brien left the Bish
op's residence at 2 r. jr., followed by a
crowd numbering 4000 persons, acd
took bis way toward a field outside of
town, wbre a platform bad been
erected. He was met by an impoeing
force of police and military, which
barred the way. Mr. O'Brien then
called to the people to halt, and ad
dressed the Magistrate to tbe following
effect : "I wish to hold a meeting to
tell the people the truth about English
rule in Ireland, but no meeting will be
held if it has been resolved to disperse
the people forcibly."
The Magistrate replied that he could
not allow the meeting to be held. Mr.
O'Brien then insisted upon his right to
hold the meeting, saying that be took
all responsibility upon himself, and
asked the Magistrate that if force be
used, to us 3 it upon bim not upon
the people. A long colloquy between
the two then ensued, Mr. O'Brien in
sisting that his an est would end the
meeting, and that if any other action
should be taken the responsibility would
rest on the police. The crowd then ad
vanced toward the platform, and the
police immediately attacked them,
knocking down those who resisted.
The rreshlency as a Reward.
Those who still cling to the prospect
of making Mr. Blaine the next Repub
lican candidate will feel their hearts
sink finally at the announcement that
Senator Stanford is ir. the field. A
"persona! friend," according to a de
spatch published in this city, -'evidently
by authority," gives this information
to the public. Mr Stanford will come
to the Convention, we are assured, with
all tbe delegations from the Pacific
Slope lo his pocket or at least derived
from his pocket and if he does not get
the nomination himself will be in a
position to name tbe nominee. It was
hoped that Mr. Blaine would at least
have some influence in the selection
made by tbe Convention, but it appears
that be is to be deprived even of this
solace.
The Republican party would present
sach a truly beautiful appearance dur
ing the coming eampaigu with Leland
Stanford at the head ct Its ticket that
the picture takes a strong hold on the
imagination. And next to this arrange
ment m interest would be the Republi
can party with the man at its head that
was ptrsonal'y and publicly selected by
Stanfoid.
It cannot be denied that it would be
acrnsistent thing for Ssnator Stanford
to demand the Presidency at the hands
of the psople. He has shown how the
Government bas been plundered by him
Into prosperity, acd how. against their
own ignorance, be bas bribed the au
thorities into wise policies. He has
asserted that thz cm him a
deb; of gratitude that it sever can re
pay, despit- !h- Tet that h ha
I onsly prevented the sense of obligation
j from becoming painful ty helping him
p" o an me public money he could
lay his hands on.
Wa are afraid that his calling his
railroad account square aud tbe men
tion of his name for the Presidency are
a!! one piece of transpireot and monu
mental bluff. X. Y. World.

Republicans and the Minority fieport.
The minority report of the Ways and
M-ans committee falls to satisfy Re
publicans. Its evasion of the main is
sue, so far as ad vising affirmative action,
is its striking feature. But why eva
sion ? For tbe simple reason the Re
publicans are divided, and the only
point they can agree on is that of
obstruction. Tbe Philadelphia Tele
greph is a strong protectionist paper,
out like brotner Weeks, insists tbe
Republicans must move in tbe direction
of carrying out tbe pledges of tbe Chica
go platform. It draws this notable com
parison between tbe reports of the
majority and minority of tbe Ways and
Mans committee:
The majority report of the Ways and
Means committee Is a very able document.
If Mr. Mills, of Texas, was the author ct it.
then Mr.Millaisan everaomachsmarterman
than be was ever credited with being before
be'became chairman of tbe Wavs and Means
committee ; while if Mr. Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, waa the man who wielded the
pen, tbe effect will certainly ho to bring blm
a tcreat deal more prominently to the front
as a Democratic leader than h ever yet baa
been. Be the authorship of tbe document
what It may, however, it was certainly an
admirable statement of the case of the Dem
ocratic tariff reformers, and it is not at all
necessary to agree with all of its conclusions
to recognize the fact that It approached a
subject of grave Importance in precisely tbe
right way and in the right spirit. Tbe re
pot t of the minority or of a section of the
minority of which Mr. McKinley la the
reputed anthor. Is, we greatly regret to aay,
not an able document : is not at all in tbe
right spirit, and is by no means a reply to
the statement of the Democratic case. In
deed, it la ao little such a document aa tbe
occasion very Imperatively calls for. that it
will certainly leave the Impression with tbe
public at large teat tbe Republicans do not
meet the issue forced by the Democrats be
eane they cannot
That is it exactly. Tbe Republicans
are much divided come of them insist
totting snail be done, others that the
whisky and tobacco tax shall b cut. off.
others that tobacco and sngar shall be
made free of taxation, and others again
that tbe tariff on wool and woolen goods
shall be) largely increased.
The New York Evening Post shows
that the argument running all though
the minority report is that the interests
ofthe consumer must in all cases be
sacrificed to tbe producer. It says :
Tbe issue is thus clearly presented. It
runs through the report from beginning to
etid. Xo article is so necessary to the com
fort of the people, nothing so Indispensable
to daily life whether to the poor or to the
rich, out that the buyers most pay tribute
to somebody, and aa much trinte as the
producer considers an adequate profit to Ma
business. It may be tin plate, which la
hardly produced In this country at all, and
of which we must have $16,000,000 worth
every year, paying a bonus of nrarly 34 per
cent, on it, or It may be common lime for
house building, whicb bas ben produced
here since tie days of the Pilgrims all
nust pay a tariff premium to somebody. It
mast be paid bot for revenue, but upon
principle the principle that tbe consumer
bas no rights. Nothing could be more ex
plicit than the assertion and drflultlon of
this principle. It It la In dlrrct contraven
tion of tbe report of the Republican Tariff
Commission of 1SH3. It is a doctrine that
will rend the party in twain, if not this
year, surely within a vary few years.
And it quotes this warning no'e to
Republicans in Congress from a leading
Republican paper of Minnesota, tbe
Minneapolis Jortmal :
It the Republican leaders of tbe Bouse
were conscious of the real Intensity of the
reeling among Western Republicans in Con
gress formulating a liberal tariff reform
measure and placicg tbe party on record In
favor of an honest and intelligent reduction
on the necessaries of life, tbey would not
fail to submit some proposition In Congress.
They certainly cannot realize the true state
of feeling among Western Republican or
they would ace the serious danzer in pursu
ing tbe present policy. It is producing a
feeling of restloseness everywhere among
Western Republicans that threatens party
disintegration. This Is not stating tbe
cat too strongly.
The feeling described by this Minne
apolis paper is not confined to Minneso
ta. The Western States are honey
combed with it. it is not confined to
:he Wesc ; even New England is torn
by it. Tariff ref oi m clubs are spiing
ing up in Massachusetts and Rhode
Island which cut across party lines
with the utmost impartiality. Pitts -hurg

Tonderlyon the Right Track.
General Master Workman Powderly.
of the Knights of Labor, is moving in
exactly the right direction when he asks
for an educational fund for tbe proper
instruction of workingmen on all ques
tions which affect labor.
That ignorance has cost the working
men of the country many millions of
dollars, is a fact so patent that non9
can dispute it. A want of thorough,
practical knowledge of the best methods
of piomoting the interests of organized
labor, bas caused two-thirds o? all the
labor strikes of the country, when clear
headed and discreet direction would
have won for labor vastly more without
strikes than has been wen even by tho
few strikes which were in any degree
successful.
When Eckley B. Coxe was a witness
before tbe House strike committee in
Washington a few weeks ago. after his
examination bad been gone through
with, he was asked what he could sug
gest lo tranquiliz labor and harmonize
it with employers. His answer was
"Better common schools." Those three
words express a volume on the labor
disturbances of the land. Just as men
become more and more intelligent the
more valuable is their labor, tbe more
wages they command and the easier are
dispu'es adjusted. Considerate judg
ment, not passion and prejudice inspir
ed by demagogues, always rules in such
cases and just as education shall in
creaso amorg workingmen, atrikas will
d( crease.
Mr. Powderlv Is making a most im-
labor by proposing an educational fund
to difiuse practical intelligence among
the order. It will diminish the impor
tance and the prcfita of walking dele
gates and demagogical labor agitators
nae nairmen L,eo and McGarvey, who
force, strikes against good work and pay,
but it will do more for the self-respect
and prosperity ot labor than auy other
method of ibdustrial advancement.

Wild geese Id this part of the country,
says the Baltimore Sun. were aware several
hours before tbe cold wave signal was dis
played at tbe Weather Bureau that the
blizzard would strike Baltimore last Sunday
wetk. A flock of tbem flew slowly over
Baltimore just about daylight on Sunday,
and their self satisfied honk-bonk -book, as
they traveled toward tbe north, seemed to
mean that spring was at band. But In
about two hours tbey returned in wild con
fusion, their racks disordered, their Series
discordant, and their only aim seeming to
be that tbey might find shelter In some of
the maty nooks of tbe Chesapeake and its
j tributaries, where in safety they might ride
out me storm.

A farmer In Sumter county, Georgia,
who Is indebted to a firm in Amerlcos,
which held a mortgage upon a pair of mnlea
belonging to blm, which be coald not re
deem, consulted a lawyer to know If there
was not some way by which be could save
his stock. The lawyer informed him that
if be were only a married man It would be
all right, as then bis wife could claim tbem
as part of the homestead and thus save the
mules, but otherwise there waa no chance to
Lelp blm. "Well." replied the young man,
"I will get married then, if that la tbe only
way out of it, but It seems to me that Is a
d d poor law that deprives a man ot his
liberty Just to save two poor old mules."
And he departed sorrow f ally and wltb a
heavy heart to find a girl that would help
blm out of his trouble.
Bears Killed by Cold.
Ranchman J. C. Scblles will probably
never forget an experience be had at bis
ranch near Piedra Parana during tbe cold
spell In January. Mr. Scbiles only went in
last summer, and has a comfortable little j
house under tbe Eheiter ot the foothills.
Tr-e weather preceding the cold spell in
January, be 6ays, bad been beautiful, and
be was out on the range every day. On
January 13 it began to get cold, and tbe
thermometer dropped from 40 degrees above
zero to 15 degrees below. On the following
day It went down with lightning rapidity,
and bis spirit tbemometer showed 38 degrees
below at nightfall. Each day for a week
was elder, and tbe lowest point attained by
the mercury was if bis theimoroeter Is ac
curate, 58 decrees, which was noted In the
afternoon of January 17.
Mr. Scbiles for four days did not leave the
house. On the opening of the third cold
day he noticed that bear and deer, which
bad been unusually plentiful during the
winter, began to come down to low ground,
and on the morning of the fourth day be
opened bis door to get some wood but was
brought np at a close range by a low growl.
Upoc looking up be saw four bears within
twenty feet of bia cabin. They were great,
big fellows, and Mr. Scbiles made up bis
mind to have one. He got bis rifle, but tbe
bears seemed to divine bis motive and got
out of rante. Tbe Intense cold prevented
bim from following, ana after laying In
enough wood to last two or three days, and
filling his water barrel, be went back Into
tbe house and remained thereuntil the cold
weather had passed.
Dunng tbe day the bears returned and
deer and two antelope, tbe first be bad seen
In a year, moved down Into tbe miniature
valley in whicb bis shack stands. That
night tbe weather was so cold that Mr.
Scbiles was afraid to go to sleep and kept a
roaring fire in the stove all night The
night was made hideous, he says, bv the
coyotes and bears. The animals pressed
close against tbe bouse and be could bear
them fighting for places particularly near
tbe two windows from which tbe light em
anated. Once or twice one of ihe animals,
probably a bear, would dash against the
house as if to brake it In, and tbe deer were
heard littering plaintive cries during the
night At 3 o'clock Mr. Seniles drew bis
spirit thermometer iu from the roof by way
of the chimney hole and found the ther
mometer still at fifty-eight degrees below,
tbe stme that it had been twelve hours be
fore, lie thinks It was a great deal colder
and that tbe chemicals had been frozen.
Tbe' night was a terribly long one. and at
8 o'clock in tbe morning, when Mr. Scbiles
awoke from a short nap the animals bad
moved away aud tbe weather moderated
considerably, the mercury showing only
eighteen points below zero.
On opening the door of his bouse, which
be did cautiously, be 6aw two bears, a deer
and a coyote lying on the ground. Tin deer
and coyots had been killed during tbe night
by the bears, but the two bears bad no marks
and had evidently frozen to death, as their
bodies;were rigid. Denver Xeic$.
Flre at a Ball Fight.
City of Mexico. April 4 Dispatcher
form Celaya give details of a frightful cal
amity In that city. Sunday afternoon
shortly befcre S o'clock, the boll ring was
crowded wltb spectators of tbe great na
tional sport. Tbe company of bull-fighters
from Leon were still playing with tba first
bull When a fire cnHan lo hrV m Mn
sunny side of tbe plaza.
A panic seized upon the vast assemblage,
and a frightful spectae'e was tbe result.
Tbe plaza was constructed of wooden masts,
ieeds. etc., and it was due to this fact that
a majority of the people escaped without
injury, being able tu force au opening per
mitting an exit at different points, but many
women and children jumped from the top,
a distance of 20 to 30 feet, and over 100 of
them wera seriously wounded. Eighteen
lives were lost.
Tbe sides of the plaza being lined with
matting as dry as tinder and tbere being a
slight wind blowing, the amphitheatre was
in a blaze in a few seconds. Nine bodies,
in some cases charred as to be unrecogniza
ble.have so far been taken from the smoking
ruins. Nine persona were so badly burned
that tbey died yesterday. This makes 18
deaths, but G8 persons were very badly
burned, and at least 10 of them will die. I
Tbe building was fired by an army de- !
setter, a number of whom were present
under guard, and who escaped In tbe panic.

ranis. Tenn., April 7. Kennedy Porter
a son of Ex Governor Porter, was shot and
probably fatally wounded hero Thursday
night about 11 o'clock by Will Edmunds.
The origin of the difficulty is supposed to be
tbe attention of young Porter to Edmunds,
sister, which the latter objected to, and had
frequently threatened to kill bim If be did
not desist. Porter had been out driving
with Edmund's s'sler that night, and had
returued tbe team to tbe stable and had
started up Depot street towards the square,
when he met Edmunds about the Blanton
House, who told bim that he was going to
defend himself.
Edmunds then fired, tbe ball, a 3R-oalibre,
striking Porter la tbe left breast just below
the collar-bone, ranging downward. On
bearing the threa tPorter drew bis pistol.but
too late. On being shot Port r fell and was
scon after removed to his father's residence,
where he now lies in a precarious condition.
