rCORBESrOXDEXCE OF TIIE DISPATCH. 1
Lexisgtos, Kt., July 18. The news
now and then of another mountain vendetta
has almost ceased to elicit comment, and
unless of a very bloody character causes no
excitement whatever. The recent feud at
Harlan is fast becoming a memory, although
it has cost the State of Kentucky thousands
of dollars and blackened its reputation as a
law-abiding community almost beyond re
pair. The local authorities are unable to
cope with these tactions, and in a number of
instances are partisans themselves.
It is a well known fact that a Sheriff in
one of the mountain counties declared that
he would not arrest a noted desperado, upon
whose head the price had been set, if he
stood before him, claimine that that indi
vidual was his iriend, and that he would
die for him if it was necessary. The Judge
of the same county has done everything in
his power to arrest the same outlaw, not be
cause he feels that it is his duty, but be
cause he hates him as intensely as his
brother officer loves him. They are, in
truth, membors each of the factions that
have rendered their country a plague spot
on the face of this State.
LATVLESSKESS SUrBEME.
Of course, with the County Judge and the
Sheriff arraved on oppositesides the despera
does cannot'be arrested. To impanel an im
partial jury in this countv in cise of an ar
rest wonldbe as impossible as changing the
course of the Cumberland river. The few
law abiding citizens that live in this com
munity are overaweJ and bulldozed by the
more "turbulent element, and are in such a
hopeless minority that they dare not utter a
protest or suggest a remedy.
The law is always lax in isolated com
munities ani the character of the Kentucky
mountaineer leads him to take advantage of
this fact. The most of these feuds can be
traced to intermarriage. These mountaineers
are descendants ot a people who have always
shunned civilization, who always seek the
solitude and wilds of a new country. They
are a type of what Boone ana Kenton were.
Their lite is as free as the air they breathe.
They are simple, modest and honest, and
know nothing whatever of ambition.
A LAW TOfTO THEMSELVES.
They are content to live and die in the
shadow of the hills where they were born,
and are restive only when trammeled by
civilization under the garb of the law, of
which they have an utter contempt. They
seldom appeal to law for redress for wrong,
but believe in bettling it man to man, which
olten ends in the death of one or the other,
and the first thing one knows another
mountain feud is in full blast.
It is well to draw a picture of the indi
vidual who has brought this State to such
disrepute. He is lengthy, as most Ken
tuckians are, slim and supple. His head
is usually surmounted with a home-made
chip hat, generally of a battered appear
ance, through which his light tow hair can
De seen. His eyes are gray and keen, and
naturally iair, but generally very much
tanned, contrasting strangely with the light
greenish hue of' his beard. A hickory
shirt, collarless and open at the breast, a
suit of butternut jeans and brogans com
plete the costume.
THE MOUNTAINEERS.
These people are easily amused. The
violin and banjo are tbeir favorite instru
ments of music They will sit and listen
for hours to one of their number, who is
generally a wit as well as a mnsician, play
on a cracked fiddle or drum or a tuneless
banjo. The country that these people in
habit is unsurpassed in grandeur by any
portion of the Union. Take for instance
that part of the State in which the Cumber
land commences its winding coarse. This
stream alone is rich with memories and rem
iniscences of that fraternal strife that ap
peared at one time to rend a continent and
strangle a republic that led the world iu sci
ence, though scarce a hundred years old.
llpoc its dancing waves have floated the
gunboats of the Government and its vine
covered banks has lelt the thunder shock, of
battle.
Blood from the Northland and blood from
the Southland has been mingled together,
and the sonls of the Cead have floated out
into the unknown realm as the blood drifted
out to the sea. Liberty must have knelt in
sackcloth and ashes in those tronbloui
times, and her head must have bent low
when the sullen gun at Sumpter awoke a
peaceful country to war.
EFFECTS OF THE TVAR.
There are many things that remind one nf
the wir in the solitude of these mountains.
During the recent visit of the State troops
to that section, one day an old man came
into camp, who eyed them curiously for
awhile, and then alter a bit he seemed to
have screwed his courage up a little. He
approached the sergeant o: the guard, and
asked him if he knew anything of his son,
who had left him years, ago to 'ollow
"sojers" like they were. "He was but a
lad," the old man said, "and he has never
come back." He thought probably some of
the "sojers" could tell him something of his
boy. This boy, as was afterward learned,
had gone down in one of those awful charges
ot Stone river, and was numbered among
the unknown dead that are gathered from
every battlefield.
There are many lite this old man that
have lelt the cruel effects of the war.
"Widows who have lost husbands, and chil
dren who have lost fathers. Many of them
know not when the war commenced nor
when it ended knew not what great ques
tions were involved and cared as little.
ABCADIAS' EXISTENCE.
Their life upon the hills and in the val
ley of the Cumberland had up to that time
been truly an Arcadian one. The sound of
the bugle and drum awoke this slumbering
paradise, nor left it until that insatiable
monster, war, had drawn into its embrace
the flower ot its people.
"While the State guard were among them
nothing seemed to delight them as much as
the sound ot a drum. Its martial tones
eeemed to fascinate them as nothing else
could. It could be plainly seen how easily
their feelings could be swayed, and how
easily they conld be influenced to right or
wrong. They would cluster around' the
drummers, and give vent to their enthr1
siasm by Irequent shouts and expressions of
encouragement to them who, nothing loth,
would beat the different marches and calls
for these simple people hours at a time.
One day a corporal was accidentally shot
and mortally wounded, and in a short time
there were several women at the side of the
dying boy, and they stood over him with
Streaming eyes, and ministered to him with
untiring care and pity. ,
A PEEACHEE'S BRAVEST.
Kow such a scene as that is common
enough with them, but that divine pity that
has a seat within every woman's soul, led
them to the couch of the dying stranger.
This boy's body was taken that night over a
mountain road to a distant station, full 35
niiles, to be sent home. It was accompanied
by two soldiers and a mouutain preacher.
On ther way to the station they were de
laved by several little accidents to the
wagon, and it was seen that one of the party
would have to go ahead and if possible hold
up the train. This could be accomplished
bv a short foot route across an immense
hill, which would cut off several miles.
It was a lonelv route and a very tiresome
one, but as soon" as the matter was sug
gested the preacher was the volunteer, and
he accomplished his purpose. The train
was delayed until the arrival of the wagon.
One would have to go over that road and go
over it at night to appreciate the wnw
understand the kindness of the deed, -that
man is held in tender regard by every com
panion of the dead soldier, and is a tvpe of
the master he serves.
VENDETTAS DYING OUT.
Since the war has become a memory these
people have been drawn into an internecine
strife by bad men. They are naturally clan
nish and easily led. The law of nature
forces them upon one side or the other that
of self-preservation. If one knows anything
of these mountain vendettas he knows this is
true. There can be no neutrality, and there
is none. They may say to a stranger that
they belong to neither one side nor the
other, but it is not true, for every man,
woman and child is a partisan.
There is a mother who, from her latticed
window, can look down upon three graves
in which lies the bodies of her sons who
were shot to death in a recent fend, and in
sight of the same window is the house of the
man who p.in:pd their death. She says but
little, but in her eyes cap be seen traces of
the tragedy, ana you are irapresseu iuiu
idea that s'he is looking forward to a time
when the account will be settled in full.
The day is drawing near when these feuds,
however, will be a thing of the past, and that
portion of Kentucky which has known them
so long will be pointed to with pride, and
those silent hills that have thrown shadows
o ver deeds ot violence, will be illuminated
with the glare of the furnace and the echo
of the shrill sounds of the locomotive.

The
Hiuuelf in Lebanon Jail.
fFPECIAt. TELZGBAK TO IHJ DlEFATCH.l
Lebanon, July 18. A few days ago
was chronicled the capture ot a notorious
counterfeiter of half dollars at Annville,
and his imprisonment in the Lebanon
county jail here. The man was Charles
Becker, alias "Brickyard Snyder." Since
his arrest he acted strancely, and the prison
keepers maintained a watch over him lest
he should do himself injury. But to no
purpose. On Monday the prisoner suc
ceeded in hanging himself, and yesterday
his dead bodv was buried at the County
Almshouse, but later was disinterred and
taken to Philadelphia for examination at
the Philadelphia hospital.
He had made a sort of rope out of a piece
of blanket, one end of which he tied to an
iron bar in his cell window and the other
end around his neck, and then jumped off
his mattress. He was 40 years old.
"WELL SOON BE OUT OF DEBT.
Allegheny City's Great Gain by Annexation
to Hitiburg-.
Controller Morrow was congratulating
himself yesterday that Pittsburg's debt
would be wiped out by 1910. "There is not
much likelihood that new debts will be in
curred before that time," he said, "as the
question of issuing bonds has to be sub
mitted to a vote of the people, and they are
generally opposed to such action."
Delinquent Tax Collector Ford, who was
in the Controller's office at the time, was led
by this to remark that, while he was in favor
of the consolidation of the two cities, still
ths fact that Pittsburg would soon be out of
debt, and at the same time possess all of the
latest improvements, was additional evi
dence to him that Allegheny City would
have the best of the deal.
A JO-BOAT MYSTEEY.
It Floats Down the Ohio In Good Shape, bnt
Wiihont Occupants.
There is a jo-boat mystery lying partly
submerged in the Ohio river at the foot of
Chartiers street, Manchester. Abonjt a
month ago the boat floated down the Ohio
in midstream and a man named Sarver
swam out and caught it. In the boat was a
brand new set of furniture and cooking
utensils. "
Advertisements have been inserted in the
papers, but no owner has been found. Jlr.
Sarver thinks the owners of the boat were
either drowned or met with foul play. The
boat is worth several hundred dollars.
Closed a Brief Season.
The Oriental Opera Company, of New

score was particularly good, embracing the
weird Slavonic minor strains which har
monized perfectly with the quaint costumes
of the period.

THE
A GOLDEN HARYEST
Being' Gathered by the Chicago Ice
Trust at the People's Expense.
A R17AL APPEARS IN THE FIELD,
I Which Proposes to Make Things Lively for
the Combination.
A HINT TO THE PITTSBURG DEAIEBB
rsrscuL teleobau to titb sispatch.i
Chicago, July 18. The hot weather of
July finds Chicago tight in the grip of a
gigantic ice combine, which has forced the
price to large consumers up to $11 and $12
per ton and shapes things so that the small
consumer has to pay as much as $20 and $25
per ton.
The story of its formation is a short and
familiar one to Chicagoaus. Taking advan
tage of the scarcity of cold weath
er last winter the four largest
Chicago firms, the Lincoln Ice Company,
the Wasbiugton Ice Company, A. S. Piper
& Co., and J. P. Smith & Co. pooled their
stocks on hand, which were quite large, and
bought all they could from Wisconsin deal
ers, and believing that nothing could stand
against them put up their schedule until
GROWLING LOUD AND FIERCE,
is heard on every hand. The small Catcher
who used to pay from $175 to $2 50 per ton,
has been compelled to pay $10 to the rapac
ious combine, thus increasing his ice bill
from $5 to $20 per week, without
any corresponding increase in prices,
because he has had to compete with
other large packing firms which use
artificial ice are therefore inde
pendent of the combine. This is
the more exasperating since it is
capable of demonstration that the combine
bought its ice for 90 cents per ton on com
mission and paid only 60 cents per ton to
have it delivered in Chicago.
The produce commission men have been
as great sufferers as th retail butchers
and a few of them have formed a
small combination and gone Into
the ice business on tbeir own
account. But the principal antagonist of
the combine is the Merchants' Ice Company,
which was recently incorporated with a
capital stock of $50,000. At its head is
Thomas Armour, the most energetic oppo
nent of the Chicago dressed beef monopoly
to be found in Chicazo. and with him are
F. M. Smith, F. Scheibel, John Ford and
Henry Sloan.
UNDERSELLING THE TRUST.
These people buy their ice in Wisconsin,
and undersell the trust about $4 per ton to
large consumers, and more to small ones.
Its half dozen wagons have proved inade
quate, and 20 more are to be' put on the
streell tit once. The advent of this company
has caused the ice combine to stop
and think. To-day it cancelled an an
nouncement that prices wonld now go up
another notch. The artificial ice machines
do not seem to cut much of a figure in the
struggle for cheap ice, although this is a
headquarters for the manufacture and sale
of artificial ice machinery.
It is said that a similar combine has its
hand en the throat ot Pittsburg's ice con
suming public. , If that is true, the experi
ment of the Merchants' Ice Company ought
to furnish a valuable hint what to do.
BUmnrck' Neuralgia.
Trntn, London. May 29, 1690.
All the deolorables and despicables of
Germany have been engaged dnring the last
few weeks in the congenial task ol kicking
the dead lion; but I do not suppose that
Prince Bismarck troubles himself about the
malevolent inventions of snch contemptible
vermin. The idea of Prince Bismarck hav
ing impaired his faculties by morphia
drinking is really too extravaga'ntly prepos
terous a fiction for even lunatics to credit,
and the even more offensive allegation of
"alcoholism" is not less nonsensical. Prince
Bismarck formetly took his fair share of
wine or beer, but he is a man of iron head,
and certainly never was affected iu any way
by his potations. The days, however, when
he drank champagne, beer and Bhine wines
have passed away. A few years ago Prince
Bismarck found his neuralgia benefited by a
daily bottle of strong dry port, the wine
being ot special quality which he obtained
direct from Oporto; but this was also discon
tinued when he consulted Dr. Schweninger;
and for a long time past his customany bev
erage has been weak whisky and Apollinaris,
and even of this only a comparatively small
quantity has been allowed. sat

Boston, July 18. For two days past the cot
tagers along Nantasket Beach have been
frightened half out of their wits by a sea
monster whioh disported itself so close to tho
beach as to be plainly visible- from
tho shore. The more timid ones could
think of nothing but the mythical sea serpent,
and all along the beach only tho boldest dared
try the surf bathing. To-day the monster came
even nearer the shore, and hundreds of people
saw itswrmmlng to and fro.
At one time a big head would be raised
out of the water and again a large
fin wonld be seen. For several hours the
creature patrolled the coast. It was not a sea
serpent, bnt a fin-back whale about 50 or 60 feet
long. It was unusually close to the shore, and
its peculiar antics gave rise to the stories that
It was a sea serpent.
