The question has not been definitely settled yet, but a member of the Pittsburg" Cricket Club stated last even ing that efforts are being made to arrange a came between a local eleven and the visi tors During a conversation the member made the following suggestion: "While it is true that our team is not so strong as lormerly, we can soon get an eleven together that will keep the English amateurs busy. I therefore ggest that we get to v ork at once and get an eleven to gether so that they "can get all the practice j-.os:blc between now and the time of the proposed game. Lord Hawke will bring a good team with him, bnt we ought to be abie to make a good showing against them. The English team will go tc Chicago, and iliey could easily stop off here and play a game of one innings or two innings. They coul.l play here cither in going to or coming from Chicago. I would further suggest that either Exposition Park or Recreation be secured for the contest, and if this were done the affair would be a great success." OOSSir ABOUT THE TEAM. Relative to the coming ot the team to this country a dispatch from Philadelphia says: Arrangements for bringing over the tuani of malcT-9 to be captained by Lord Hawke were concluded yetcrday by cable The team will sail on tho City of New York on S-jptcmbur IS. and will come to this city as th uetio: ne Gcrmantovtn Club. Tho nrt mateh. ajrainst All Philadelphia, will be played Frlda-v, "attuday and Monday, Sep tember S3, 23 aha 23.and tho second on Thur.--(inr, Tridsi and Saturday, September 33 and October 1 and 2. The local team for the first n atcli nillbo chosen by the International Much Committed at tho request of the Ger martown Club. Whether tho seoond match Oiall or- played asrainst All Philadelphia has not vet tx-c'i decided. A letter received from Lord Ha -"ic yes terday gives the following, besMj himself, as probable or possible members of the toani: Messrs IV. 1. Llewellyn L. C. 1L Palairct and E. Smith, Oxford; F. S Jackou undS. M.J. Woods, Canjbridcc; II. J. Kev, bjrrev; H. T. Hewett and It. C. X. PalaireS. Somersetshire; G. F Yernon. Middlesex, nnd Lord Trowlw. Kent. Lord Hawko's county 1 Yorkshire, lor which alio play Messrs. Smith and Jackson, while IVoods and Pal airetare clalrard by Somersetshire. This, ns it stands, would be a very strong side. TWO GOOD BOWLERS. Woods and Jackson aro the two Cam bridp.o bow!cr. Woods, tho Australian era cl:, beinstno equal of any professional in England. Smith, brother of the Belmont bowler, has boan making a very active rec ord this year, and, it is understood, lias been invited for Australia with - Lord Sheffield's team. Key's standing 1" well known, as Is that of Lord Hankc, Hcucttand tho Pnlalrets. Most of the men are free, nnd open players, scoring fast, and. with Woods included, would make a team Philadelphia would have plenty to do to teat. The eleven will be thoroughly ama teur, and it should be said that all the ar rangements will so proceed as to recognize this complexion most strictly. Lord Hawko having given special attention to this point. Changes may be msdo in the list now sent, but a formidable side can be oxpectefl. The matches will, of course, prove gala days, as usual, for Germantown and Its neighborhood. Th new clubhou'o at Man Iicim -will be flashed before tho arrival of tho club's zuests, and as Mi's. Key, Mrs. Vernon nnd Miss Ilawku will aocompauv the cricketers, it is possible th.it a ball may be given. Lord Hawke and Icrd Throw loy aro baohelors. SATURDAY'S BALL GAMES.

Street Hallways" Carry Thousands to Them to Enjoy tho Free Air Empty Booths Stare at tho Visitors to Schenley Who Vf ished for Something to Eat. The parks were appreciated yesterday. They were thronged with young and old, the poor and the proud, the grave and the gay in short, by everybody who had 10 cents to get there and back, and ability to enjoy an outing in the green fields and leafy glens. The Efrect railway companies performed their devoirs creditably, excepting that the usual overciowding was permitted; conduc tors failing to realize when their cars had as many passengers as could travel comfort ably without being walked over, sat down upon and incommoded to the extent of a great loss of temper by the people packed in upon them. The suggestion has been made that with so many cars, running so rapidly and at such snort intervals, the various companies should regulate the num ber of passengers admitted on 3 car. Schenley Park held its many thousands yesterday, every unit of which was glad of the line expanse of green wood devoted to their use. The day was warm, the air free and bracing and appetites were picked up on even' yard of the ground. The one drawback to the full pleasure of the day was just on this account. There was absolutely nothing to be had in the wav of refreshments. Parents who brought thcirlittlc ones out for an airing would have been glad to buy them some milk, or a cake or so. but beyond the empty bocths dedicated on other davs to the pur pose there was no suggestion of this rational attainment in the 11 hole park. This fact was commented on so fre quently as to become a popular outcry, and the question was general as to why such a line should be drawn between the vending ot milk, cakts. pie. fruit etc., in a res taurant, and a similar sale in the open air. Other cities, was the cry, have these rational conveniences, small as they are; why should not P ttsburg?

Wood-Choppers Completely Surrounded by the Creepers. THEIR APPEARAXCB UNPRECEDENTED rSrECTAb TSLIOKAMS TO TnE DISPATCH.! BliADFORD, Aug. 2. Potter county is alarmed, and with good cause, over the ravages of a worm that is destroying the foliage and killing oil the hemlock timber. Only about five days ago it was noticed by lumbermen that the tops of the heavy tim ber on the mountains were turning brown as though the trees were flying. The trees looked exactly as though they hod gone through a forest fire or were withering up lor lack of irrigation. Au investigation was at once set on foot by the lumbermen interested, and it was discovered that the affected trees were coveted with myriads of worms The worms were eating the green nnd tender foliage of this year s growth, and when that had disappeared turned their attention to the growtll of the preceding year, the woody twig not being touched. A remarkable scene is presented in the "ehoppiugs" where the bark peelers are at work. The worms are swarming about the men by the millions, while on all the trees from Condersport to Port Allegany ilcs and miles of trees are turning brown, and ruin is threatened to the vast lumber inter ests of that section. IT IS A LITTLE WORM. The worm that is doing thedamage is of tho "measuring worm" species, about an inch long, and bnrely an eighth of an inch in diameter. The depredations are taking in such u vast area that exports have already been placed on their track, and tho follow ing accurate description is furnished: The worm is covered with spots on each side, nnd ha9 ten legs, six in front and four awkward props liehind. In moving it arches its back, hence tho vnlgi r name of "measuring worm." xne appearance, 01 me norm in such vast numbers is unprece dented in this region, and grave fears nio entertained in Potter county that tho fonigo of the worm means tho entire destruction of the glowing timber aud injury to tho old trees. An effort has beo:i made to stop tho ad vance of tho worm, but ic is too late this sea son to even make an effort toward saving the bark, and the timber is already greatly damaged. Keports from Glen Hazel, Elk county, nnd fioin the cast sido of that coun ty, state that the same worm, in countless numbers, is devastating the hemlock there. TOTAL DESTKUCTION THREATENED. As it is said that the continued ravages of this worm mean tho total destruction of young hemlock and tho crippling of the standing timber and drying up its bark, a crisis confronts the whole population of the entire hemlock region of Now York and Pennsylvania, as tho worm is steadily ad vancing and spreading, and owing to tho great numbers woiking de struction with inconceivablo rapidity. Not onlj- tho lumbermen are concerned, out the tanners, farmers, railroad men, and in fact everyone, for this is pre-eminently n hem lock region from Klmira, N. Y., to Punxsu- tawrtev. Ph.. thnnsnnris nf mi'11 hoinr em ployed iii tho bark and lumber Interests and millions of capital invested. Tho life of tho worm is from four to six weeks, when its death gives birth to a fly or gnat. They are exceedingly voracious, and during the brief ceriod of their existence eat several thousand times their own weight of growing vegetation. Though this horde of worms may only be a trnnsientvisitation, still there is nothing known here of them or their ravages, even the oldest lumbermen stating that they had never seen them be fore. Some of the worms, with specimens of their destructive work, havo been sent to tho Agricultural Department at Harrisburg. THE BKTMFIELD HTTEDZR. Information Obtained by Parties Living Seven Miles Away. nujmjfQDoivW. Va., Aug. 2. For tho time it is utterly Impossible to get the exact story of the horrible murder of tho Brumneld family in the adjoining county of Cabell. The only definite information brought to this city to-day was biought in by a school teacher named Fuller, who lives at Shoals, seven miles from the scene of the tragedy. Saturday night the Itrumfield boys wero met going up Twelve" Pole creek nrmed to the teeth with 'Winchesters, nnd with revolvers buckled about their belts. The boys wero excited, and siid the Italians had murdered. Boss Brumfleld by shooting hlin 23 times. Not satisfied with that, they had shot his wife twice. Tho boys said tho trouble grew out of the shooting of an Italian by Brumfield's sons. The Italians had been caught by them steal ing straw a week ago, and in tho fight that followed the Italian v. as killed. The gangs of Italians along the Hneof tho extension of tho Norfolk and Western load bad given the farmers a great deal of trouble, and their depredations culminated in tbe Brumfiolds putting a load ot shot into one of the Dagos. STEEET ASSESSMENT DISPUTE. Sutler's Municipal Improvements to Be Carried Into Court. Bctleii, Aug. 2. This littlo city is Jnst now wrestling with an interesting street ques tion that will likely result in a test case bo fore the matter is decided. The municipal improvements made in Butler during the past year exceed in point of expenditure the outlay of tho past two decades. Over two miles of street are being paved with vitrified Are brick, at a cost of .over $10,000, and an entire now system of scworago is be- in; pUL ill tt UlUil 111 cost iiuno us uincii. A nice lecal Question now arises from tbn assessments made on the property owners tor tbe payment of two-thirds of the cost of tho Mam street paving. In the residenco portion of the town tho pavement was made narrower by several feet than in tho busi ness portion, and tho disputed point is whether the cost of the whole street should be equally assessed on the abutting property or divided where the width changes, and assessed separately. The original petition and contract made no relerenco to a division, nnd as it will ma terially affect those interested a test cae will likely follow. A BECEIVER WANTED. An Oil Man Yf ho Thinks Ho Has Not Ke celved His Share of tho Profits. FixnLAY, Aug. 2. EUphias IVnnamaker filed 11 petition in court last night asking that a receiver be appointed for the firm composed of James S. Patterson and Charles E. Wade. Tho plaintiff claims a partnership interest in a largo number of valuable oil leases and tho profits from the operation of the ells thereon, and avers that the de fendants have refused to give him his just share. He asks that a receiver take charceofthe property, uud that It be sold and his share paid. lie estimates his share lu tho enter prise at ?43,OC0. All of the parties involved are piomiuent Ohio men.

Beaveb Falls, Aug. 2. There were no sen sational developments In the controversy In the German Evangelical Church. Last night matters looked very war-like, but to-day ovety thing passed off peacefully to tho great dissapointment of tho largo crowd who gathored in the neighborhood ot the church expecting to sco a regular knock-down be tween tho two factions. At an early hour this, morning, a young man nppearcd at the church and tacked tho following note writ ten in German on the door: "Thoie will be no services hero to-day, by order of tho con gregation. John Smith, President." Shortly niter tho notice was stuck np Kev. Mr. Bauer appeared on the scone, went up tho steps and shook tho door violently nnd retired. Shortly after this his wife went through the same actions. Both returned shortly and after a few minutes conversa tion, Rev. Mr. Bauer decided to hunt up the trustee who had possession of the key, but he positively refused to surrender the much nought article. Mr. Baner again retired after having demanded it, but it was still lefusod htm. The pastor said to-day that ho had not made up his mind what to do. His dismissal is illegal and contrary to the wishes of a number of his congregation, but if they will pny him'his salary to September 17, when his time expires, he will step down and out: if not he -will probably carry tho matter into the courts. THE VICTIM STILL HISSING. A Man Who Confessed Mnrder Released Because No Body TVas Found. BpcKHASKoy, W. Va., Aug. 2 James Johnson, tho man who claims to hnvo mur dered a man on Ten Milo Fork of Cabin creek. In this county, on July 10, by beating his brains out with a club, has been released lrom cu3tody. A long and thorough search was made for the body, in a locality described by Johnson, butjno trace was ever found of a murder. Johnson is still in this vicinity, and still in sists that he told the truth, that the man was murdered and that he deserves to bo punished for it. Johnson seems to be per lectly rational in every respect, and the au thorities are puzzled over tho curious case. HUNG BT If ASKED MEN. A Fanner Strung Up Until Nearly Dead and Then Told to Leave.

PEOPLE INTO THE CITX OF THE STBAiTS. Pittsburg's Delegation Arrive Several Hun dred Strong Other Posts Assemble in Large Numbers, and the Town Is Alive Yf Itli the Old Soldiers. Detroit, Aug. 2. If "hearts make homes" no veteran need feel himself a stranger in Detroit this week, for the whole population is putting forth every effort to make each soldier remember the City of the Straits with pleasure throughout his re maining years. Not.only havo the outer gates of the city been thrown open, but the citizen has left his door aj'ar, andeoch guest of the people must feel that he is welcome in the broadest.sense of the word. Decora tion, both public nnd private, give Detroit a gala day air, and every possible provision has been made for the reception and enter tainment of the "boys of '01." They began to come Saturday, and all day to-day boats and trains brought com pany after, company. This evening the streets are crow ded with men in blue coats, and still these are only a drop in the bucket, as compared to the number who will pour into tne city in the next 24 hours. The Reception Committee has had its hands full all day receiving the fast-arriving posts and getting them fomfortably domiciled in their camps and starting them on their rounds of pleasure. At 6:39 a spe cial pulled into the Brush street depot, bearing 250 members of G. A. K. Posts ot Pittsburg. These included the Alexander Hayes Post, No. 3; JlcPherson Post, No. 117, and Charles Post, No. 230. This dele gation was followed by Post Band of 30 pieces, of Pittsburg.

Union College Professor Yf as Forced to Resign. Alliance, O., Aug. 2. There is a good deal of feeling here over the forced retire ment of two popular Mt Union College professors by the trustees and faculty Prof. William Armstrong, professor of instru mental music, voice culture and harmony, and Prof. Theodore Armstrong,. professor of penmanship and commercial science. Prof. William Armstrong has for years been identified with the college, and through his untiring efforts has built np the department to its present high position. The resignation of Prof. Armstrong was not voluntary, but caused by some strong feeling against him, growing out of his being a lover of line horses, a number of which he has on hi s stock farm.

ANDERSON GIVES HIS VERSION Of the Shooting, in Which IngersoU's Secre tary Was Wounded. BAKER 2IAT POSSIBLT PULL THROUGH rsrECiAi, telegram to Tne msrATcn.j Croton Landing, N. Y., Aug. 2. Nine tenths of the inhabitants of this village, in cluding the women and children, were to day discussing the duel between Isaac New ton Baker and Orville Anderson, that took place yesterday on the main road leading to the Croton dam. On each corner is a group of eager listeners considering the statements of an oracle who knows all about it, how it was done, why it was done, how Mr. Baker feels and what will be Anderson's fate. Each of the alleged spectators gives a differ ent version of the afiair, and each of the parties to the unfortunate occurrence has his sympathizers. Of one thing all nre agreed, and that is that if Mrs. Baker had known enough'not to interfere with the two angry men, her husband would not be lying on what may prove his death bed and Orville Anderson would not be a prisoner in the little com bination of the town hall, city hall and lockup that serves here as a jail. The trouble between the two men began in noth ing, but augmented by the squabble ot Mrs. Baker on the one side, Anderson's mother and sister on the other, it assumed serious proportions. OVERTTJBES FOE PEACE. It was to make overtures for a peaceful settlement ot their difficulties that Ander son proposed the meeting that ended in his being locked in jail and in Baker being car ried to the bed from which it is doubtful if he will ever rise. Baker is 56 years old and his wife is about two years younger. He is an expert stenographer. For more than 12 years he has been private secretary to "Colonel Robert Ingersoll. Before then he was editor of the Sunday School Times in Philadelphia and prior to that he worked for Mr. Wanamaker in a clerical capacity. He is a small, frail-looking man, weighing about 120 pounds. The Andersons are from Louisville. The family consists of the mother, three daugh ters and Orville. Three years ago they came to Croton and rented from Harvey B. Farrinttton the big house built about 35 years ago liy Winchester Patrick Moody, ofNewYcrk, and known as the Moody homestead. The house is one of the largest in the village. It stands in the center of extensive grounds, surrounded by frnit and shade trees, on a high cliff looking on the Hudson. HISTORY OF THE CASE. It was on the road about 200 yards from the junction and just beyond the jail, where the trouble arose that terminated in the iihooting. Two of the Miss Andersons mar ried recently, and Mrs. Anderson found the house too large for her diminished family. She answered Bolter's advertisement for half of a house in the country, and early in April Mr. and Mrs. Baker took possession of their half of the house under a verbal lease that was to be good for a year. Jirs. Anderson is described by her mends as charming, and her son and daughter, un married, have lots of friends. Everybody who knows Mr. and Mrs. Baker speaks of them as a kind, loving and sympathetic couple.and yet the families could not agree. A little niece of Mrs. Anderson is credited with adding to the general discontent by as sociating with Mrs.Baker and boycotting her aunt, and causing their squabbles over the rights of each family servant and over the thousand and one other little things that people disliking each other, arid' if ri tated by constant association, can find to quarrel "about, AN INVITATION TO LEAVE. Matters finally became so unpleasant that early last week Anderson wrote to Baker telling him that he would like to terminate their agreement. It was late in the season and he could get no other tenant, but he would be pleased to pocket that loss if Mr. and Mrs. Baker would leave. The letter was rather curt. Coroner Sutton has it now, and is holding it as evidence, of the ill will of Anderson to Mr. and Mrs. Baker. In reply Baker said he had been put to considerable expense moving furniture and things to Croton, and he thought if he va cated the premises he was entitled to com pensation. The men had several arguments on the subject, but could not come to an agreement. Anderson invited Baker to talk the matter over coolly. They met in the station Friday while waiting for a train, and Baker lost his temper. He said, ac cording to Anderson, that no one should dictate to him and then motioned threaten ingly toward his hip pocket. Then Ander son says he told him not to make himself conspicuous by talking so loud and walked away. He afterward learned that Baker had recently adopted the practice of carry ing a revolver. THE STORY OF ANDERSON. Anderson was on his way to the postofilce when he met Baker, who Mas going home. Hire is the version of what happened from the time they met until Baker was shot: '! was walking on the road and Baker called me and said: 'Yes, let us arrange things.' We were talking quite a littlf time when Mrs. Baker, who had come to meet him and who had come up unseen by either of us, stepped up and said: 'That man insulted me this morning. He laughed in mv face.' I did not deny it. It was a childish thing to do, but she made herself intensely dis agreeable and-1 did laugh at her. "Baker said something, I don't remember what, and pulled out his revolver Either he stepped behind his wife, or she ran be tween us, for by the time I had my pistol in my band, and "it did not take a second for me to get it, his hand, holding the pistol over her arm or shoulder, was pointing straight at me. A DUEL AT CLOSE RANGE. "I could not shoot for fear of hitting the woman and jumped to one side. Our right arms crossed, and I felt the muzzle of his pistol against my coat when I fired. I felt that my revolver had missed fire and that I was wounded. I pulled the trigger ngain nnd again. With the idea that my gun was no good I dropped it and grasped Baker's wrist I thought I was hit, and I did not know that I had wounded Baker. Mrs. Baker grabbed me by the shoulders and we all fell together. Baker underneath and Mrs. Baker on top of me. "By that time there were a dozen people around us. OncFisher, a train hand, pulled Mrs. Baker off me, and she ran for the re volverl had thrown down. I shouted for help and some one took the revolver away. Then I got up and learned for the first time that I was unhurt and that Baker was bleed ing." Anderson was crying when Constable Kelly arrested him. He is 31 years old and of a dapper appearance. Friends from Saratoga, Albany and New York have ar rived liere in response to telegrams, and have seen him in the prison and offered their services. Fisher says that while Baker was on the ground he turned to his wife and said: "My darling, I stuck to my flap like a man," nnd Mrs. Baker answered: "Yes, my dear, but the rebel has done you up this time." The doctors consider Baker's condition seri ous, but say that he has a good chance for his life. He was stronger this evening than they expected he would be. ENECKE'S COMET BEDISCOVBEED.

Already the Congressional Contest of Next Tear Is Causing Trouble An Independ ent Candidate to Take the Field Against Phillips. fSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB OtSPATCIM Neav Castle, Aug. 2. The political out look in Lawrence county, and in fact of this entire district, is greatly mixed. Thebitter factional fight of last fall has by no means died out, and the feeble efforts made from time to time to bury the hatchet drawn by the adherents of McDowell, of Sharon, and Phillips, of this city, have been unavailing. The recent action of the Young Men's Republican Club in instructing the three delegates, W. D. Wallace, Cap tain J. C. Euwer and W. M. Brown, for Hastings, at the State convention, was at first thought to be a move that would amal gamate the contending factions. Instead of that it has raised a regular hornet's nest in the Republican camp. This movement was started by shrewd W. D. Wallace, who by outgeneraling his opponents succeeded in having the delegates instructed as above. Dalzell, however, has some followers in this county, and they swear vengeance, and a division is threatened in the camp of the McDowellites. There is little probability that McDowell will ever again aspire to a seat in Congress, at least while the district remains in its present disturbed condition in the counties of Lawrence, Butler, Mercer and Beaver. Each of these coun ties has appointed a committee of three to meet and select some satisfactory mode of nominating candidates for Congress. Inter vie vvswith all members from the diflerent counties indicate that they prefer the popu lar vote system. The Phillips men have captured the Lawrence County Republican Committee and the three appointed from this county are all in favor of the popular vote system. Thomas Phillips, of this city, it is well known, will be a candidate for Congress next vear. and if the popular vote system is adopted for the nomination, he will surely be the man. Indeed, already parties in New Castle are willing to wager $500 to 5300 that he will be the next Congressman from this district It issa id openly that Qnay ordered this some months ago. McDowell men say that if Phillips is nominated thev will put up a popular independent candidate and run him. It will be a case of anything to beat Phil lips. The Democratic brethren are thor oughly enjoying this fight among their Re publican friends, and hope to again capture the Congressman while the enemy is fight ing nnd wrangling with itself. Many of the voters who opposed Phillips last fall for running as an independent candidate will vote for him should he secure the straight nomination, and even with an Independent Republican and a Democrat both pitted against him he will be a hard man to down. Lawrence county from this on will have but one member of" the Legis lature, and there will be at least a dozen candidates for that place on the ticket. As the Republicans have a majority of 2,500 in this county, a nomination is almost equal to an election. A HOWLING AND DRUNKEN MOB TURNED LOOSE AGAINST THE OMAHA. SMELTING WORKS. They Refuse to Work Under the Old Law and Demand Eight-Hour Shifts Men Driven From the Furnaces by the Strikers. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 2. Trouble at the Omaha and Grant Smelting Works oyer the eight-hour day took on more serious aspect to-day. The men have been working 11 and 13 hours shifts, and have many times agitated the question of the shifts of eight hours each. When the eight hour law went into effect Saturday, the company handed the men con tracts binding them to work tho same hours for the same pny as before. The men were not willing to do this, and were asked to report to the main office of the compnny in writing. Several did so re port and were promptly discharged. This created much dissatisfaction, and all last night mutterings of discontent were heard. A strong force of police was put on guard at the works, and the trouble was avoided at the time. At 7 o'clock to-night the day shift men assembled at the hall in "Bohemia town," and there in Bohemian, Polish and other foreign tongues discussed the question. When liquor and oratory had sufficiently aroused the men they marched in a body to the works and drove the men from the furnaces and other parts of the building. Police were on duty but could do nothing with the mob. At this hour 11:30 r. 5L a crowd is howling about tho company's office. The works employed about 1,500 men, nearly all Bohemians and Poles, CHILDREN DRINK AND DIE. They Empty a Jugfnl of Whisky They Fonnd on tho Floor. Bdtte, "Mont,, Aug. 2. At Walkerville last night two children, Michael J. and Mary Ellen Downey, aged 4 and 3 years re spectively, died from the effects of drinking whisky. Shortly after 11 o'clock yester day morning Mrs. Downey stepped out to a neighbor's house and was gone about 20 minutes. A neighbor called at the house durin ghcr absence and saw on the kitchen floor a demijohn of whisky with the con tents partially spilled over tbe floor. The boy and girl Had been filling up on the liquor. The woman hurried to notify the mother, and when she returned the boy was quite in toxicated and soon fell limp to the floor. The little girl did not give signs of being so affected. The lad said he had been drinking the whisky and had induced his sister to drink some, but as considerable was spilled on the floor it could not be ascertained how much they took. A physician was sum moned without delay andttie little girl was put to bed and was soon sleeping soundly. Attention was then directed to the boy. Emetics were given and the physician ap plied restoratives so keep the heart beating. The girl died at 11:30 at night and the boy breathed his last an hour later. BITTEN BY A RABID DOG. Horrible Suffering! or a Hoy Tfho Is Past Hope of Relief. Saginaw, Mich., Aug. 2. Morey God frey, 17 years old, is suffering from a horri ble attack of hydrophobia, with no chance of recovery. On July 4 last, while return ing home from a picnic, he was attacked by a dog, which bit him in several places. The boy had his wounds dressed by a local phy sician on the following day and then went about his work. Several days ago he com plained of feeling unwell, and remained home from his work. This morning, at the sight of a glass of water, he went into a spasm, and since then he has gone from one convulsion into an other. Ho looks and snarls like a dog, and tries to grab his attendants by his teeth. Three or four men are required to keep him quiet during his frenzied exertions, and he pitifully begs his attendants to kill him. Physicianssay it is a well-developed case of hydrophobia and there is not one chance in a thousand of saving his life. DESERTED HIS WIFE. A Bomance With the Scenes Laid in Pittsburg and Glade Knn. AN ENRAGED MOTHER-IN-LAW IN IT Two Wires for a Bralteman to Face and Make Explanations To. ONE WEDDIXG OCCURS IN THE GAS CITT Another story of desertion and dual mar riage has just come to light. Edward F. Murphy, a brakeman on the Pittsburg and Western Railroad, living in Butler, is the person in trouble. In February last he took out a marriage license which per mitted him to wed Miss Lawyer, of Butler. They set up housekeeping, and everything went on smoothly until last week, when Mrs. Murphy left to make a visit to her parents, who reside in the country near Butler. Her husband took advantage of her ab sence and fonnd another to fill the place of his wife, for on AVednesday he turned up in Pittsburg with Miss Breel, of Glade Run. She is 17 years old, a bright and handsome young lady of the blond type of beautv. Accompanying them was the mother of Miss Breel. who looked on Murnhv with much favor. She encouraged the early mar riage of her daughter to Edward, and planned a long and pleasant trip to all the leading cities of the country as a wedding tour, she to foot all bills. REGISTERED AT THE RED LION. After registering at the Red Lion Hotel, this city, Murphy started out to procure the licence. This done, they were straight way made man and wife, and as a conse quence, Murphy was married, with both wives alive and well. In registering at the hotel, so sure was he of the marriage taking place that he wrote "3Ir. and Mrs. Murphy, Butler, and on the next line, "Mrs. Murphy, Butler." The clerk assigned them rooms 16 and 18, re spectively, which adjoin. The handwriting is plain. The "Mrs. Murphy" who was registered was Mrs. Breel, niothor of the bride. This was the first thought that wile No. 1 had of anv division of her husband's love for her. When she learned the truth she was heart-broken. After she iully compre hended the situation she consulted her friends as to what was best for her to do, and upon their advice she told her story to the authorities. This resulted in a warrant being sworn out, and Saturday evening Chief of Police Gard ner, of Butler, came to Pittsburg in search of the gay brakeman. He was found near the Red Lion Hotel, seemingly in a happy frame of mind. He was taken to Butler, and will have his hearing in a day or two. BELIEVES IN HER SON-IN-LAW. It is said that Mrs. Breel 13 very much in fatuated with Murphy; and when told what the situation was, would not believe it. Whether this is true or not no one knows, as she evidently knew her name was regis tered at the Red Lion Hotel as "Mrs. Murphy, Butler." She seems to take the matter very hard and says she cannot be lieve the story. She is the w'idow of Bernard Breel.of Glade Run, who last year blew out his brains, after he had shot his wife, as he supposed. Mrs. Breel has a fair share of this world's goods, and proposed after the honeymoon to take the young couple to her home and place him in charge of her business. This proposition seemed to please Mnrphy hugely, as he laid plans for it to be a part of Jiis future. She is very indignant at the turn affairs have taken. Mrs. Murphy No. 2 does not take the matter so hard as her mother. She acts as though life was just commencing for her, it being a lone way from 17 to the grave. She sheds no tears. Wife No, L is grief-stricken and nearly crazed. No words from friends seem to lighten her burdens. She does not know what the trouble was between her husband and herself, as he was uniformly kind and loving. The facts have been kept as secret as pos sible by their friends, as all parties con cerned are well known in the communities in which they live. A MYSTERIOUS MONSTER FISH. It Fnzzles the Inhabitants of a Minnesota Settlement. Nortiipield, Minn., Ang. 2. A mys terious fish or animal that has long furnished food for speculation to the residents about Shieldsvilie, this county, again put in an appearance Wednesday. Michael Mc Mahon, the inventor of the flying machine that was on exhibition here last winter, on coming out of his house early in the morning, saw an object lying outside of the rushes in the water which he at first thought to be a boat bottom side up. After reaching the lower part of the rushes he saw it turn and move directly across the lake toward the east shore. About midway in the lake it seemed to raise the front part of its body in the water, as though it were taking an observation, and then settled down and moved on. Arriving near the shore it turned and moved parallel with the lake nntil it disappeared near the northern end. Mr. McMahon, at the distance from which he saw it, could not make out the shape ot the animal's head, bnt he saw that the general contour of the creature was cigar shaped. Philip McKenna, the post master at Shieldsvilie, says that he saw the animal about three years ago, and at first mistook it for a log lying on the water. It then moved down the line of rushes and turned across the lake in the same general course it took when seen by McMahon. Other people there have seen it, and a great deal of interest is felt in the occur rence. SHE MAEHIED BT MISTAKE. A Woman Tfho Yf ronijly Thought She Had Secnrrd a Divorce. Detkoit, Mick., Aug. 2. Mrs. Mathil da AVood, or Van Dusen, she is not certain which, filed a remarkable bill for divorce yesterday morning. She states that she ap plied for a divorce 11 years ago from her husband, Augustus M. Wood, and suit was begun in court by the late C. E. Wilber. All preliminary proceedings were taken down to the entering of an order pro confesso, ns Wood never appeared to oppose her appli cation. Then, being ignorant of law and hearing nothing more from her lawyer, Mrs. Wood made up her mind that she was a free woman. , Some time later she married a man named Van Dusen and removed to East Saginaw. She bore him three children. It was only a week ago that she made the discovery that the decree had never been granted, and that she had unwittingly committed bigamy. She hastened at once to Detroit and engaged H. P. Chipman to straighten out her much tangled matrimonial affairs. The result was the filing of a bill in the Circuit Court to day, in -which she asked leave to state her case right away and receive a divorce from Wood m real earnest. GEEEN GLASS BI0WEES' SCALE.

Insane Asylnm Officers Accnsed of Mal treatment of a Patient. Caethage, III., Aug. 2. The people of Oppanoose township are considerably stirred up over the alleged inhuman treat mentof William Thompson, formerly of this place, who has been an inmate of the In sane Hospital at Jacksonville for 14 years. On November 9, 1877, a jury adjudged Thompson to be insane and not a fit person to manage his own affairs. Subsequently Thompson's wife was appointed conservator of his estate. In the meantime Thompson was taken to the Insane Hospital at Jack sonville. His brother, John A. Thomp son, moved to Ohio, and a short time ago. visited the asylum to see his brother. He claims "that he asked the attending physicians as to his brother's condition ana alleges that he received the following reply: "Well, I don't know; I haven't examined him for four years." Thompson further de clares that he found his brother to be per fectly sane, yet a physical wreck, and charges that the patient, although not a pauper and paying his own expenses at the asylum, had been compelled to perform ex cessive manual labor.
