I: i ery likely that the team-of English
amateur cricketers, who are to be brought
to this country nest month by Lord Hawke.
will ii.no Pittsburg. 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

three times shaking tho money under their

forfeit or give a satisfactory answer regard

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?

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

Bev. Mr. Baaer Falls to Get Possession of
the Chnrch Key.
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.

Prof. William Armstrong has for years

The resignation of Prof. Armstrong was

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.

FACTIONS IN LAWRENCE.
THE OLD FIGHT AGAIN ON IN THE RE
PUBLICAN RANKS.
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.

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.
A sere or an nicer that resists ordi
nary treatment is a very serious mat
