t In a recent talk with C. L. Magec, of Titfs-
I burg, General Cameron is reported by the
Dlrjxitrli of that city as having said :
'The rewards of inli ticiuns are not what
; they are thought to be, and w bile I know
1 you are friendly to IVinald aud could render

i if 1 were your age, seek for prominence in
bub ne s and commercial life rather than
leadership in politics. There is a great deal
of ingratitude in polities and a great deal of
time proposes to retire from jwlitics at the
end of his present term. It is very well
known among the friends of both the Penn
sylvania Senators that Mr. Cameron bas
been keeping out of the entanglements
which follow distribution of patronage in
might lie based. The next few months of
political drvdopetiieiits may indicate to
w hat extent the inihtrne of the venerable

DEATH IN A FLOOD.
Many Lives Washed Out by the
Racing W&tera of the LlUle
.Kanawha.
raRKtRSBt Eu, July If. The greatest dis
aster thai ever befell the Little Kanawha
Valley came lust night in the sbupe of a
cloud burst, w hich has completely flooded
the country, destroying many lives, carry
ing off thousands ot dollars in property and
ruining the crojn for many miles. The del
uge from, the clouds fell here about dusk
and continued to fall in torrents, doing
much damage in the city. The worst of the
nlortn struck the lower t-i.le ut the Kanawha,
tilling small tributaries from bank to bank,
and ending in the worst flood w ithin the rec
ollection ofthe oldest inhab;tnts. In three
hours the Kanawha rose six feet and ran
out with such velocity that it carried every
thing before it. Tlie Worst story vl'all cornea
from Morristown, a small village near the
bead of Tucker creek, where the cloud burst
concentrated in all its fury.
A MIJtlATl-HE JOHS3TOWK.
It came down in the devoted village about
midnight and totally destroyed it, together
with many of its people. The first reiiort
gave tlie loss at 11, but later news seems to
tix the loss at a greater number.
The houses oi the cilirens are said to have
been picked up and hurled against each
other in such a short sj-ace of time that no
chance to escape was given. Among those
lost at Morristown are Jake Kiger, his broth
ers, Joseph and Thomas, a man named Bai
ley and Urvilie West, wife and child. The
body of a man believed to be another Mor
ristown victim was found on the ltichard
sou farm this morning in a pile of brush.
All the bridges and culverts are washed out,
and it is impossible to reach or commuui
cate with that jioiut or any other on the up
per waters. It is impossible now to enumer
ate the loss even here, as the river is still
rising and
TEA&lNU EVEBYTUIXG LOOSE.
A family boat containing three or four
persons went out during the night, and it is
believed ail are lost, as tlie last seen of them
was when the woman took up a child iu her
arms aud beckoned for assistance as they
disappeared iu the flood.
A freight traiu on the Ohio Uiver Uailroad
broke through a trestle at Harris Kerry,
completely wrecking the train and fatally
injuring William Neptune, The wreck waa
caused by a heavy washout. U, t O. trains
are delayed by washouts at -Jvanam lia sta
tion. It is reported late to-iifght that Lock
No. 1, above the city on the Little Kanawha
has given way before the flood.
At this point thousands of logs and a
nnmber of boats went out or were sunk.
TERRORS OF THE FLOOD.
In one hour 5,000 logs went out. Mrs.
Isaac Tucker. Martin Lawless and an un
known man were drowned
Above, the destruction was still greater.
Big Tygart Valley is completely ruined.
The big mill near its mouth went out and
took the Tygart bridge along with it. In
the valley all the feiices, crop aud much
live slock was lost. At ChiMterville, a small
town about leu mites above, half the resi
dences were carried oft bodily and left in
corn fields many yards distant. Iu the Clay
district a tine church and three dwellings
were wrecked. About noon information
was received that the steamer Ouedia had
been wrecked and suuk at Knterprise, above.
Still later a reiKJrt came that I he steamer C.
C. Martin was sunk at Burning Springs.
Little Tygart was also reported completely
ruined. H eat heiing tons store, Captain
Sencer's residence, C. P. Coo(r s residence
and that of J. W. Smith were completely
demolished, but no lives are reported lost as
yet.
Horses In a Furnace.
New Yore, July 21. The big livery,
boarding and storage stables of Moses Well
at 304, 3uti and 303 Kost Eleventh street were
burned to the ground early this morning,
2o horses jierisbiiig. The stamping and
snorting of the caged brutes were heard a
block away, and many brave, but ineffectual
attemps were made to rexcue them. The
fire started shortly before 4 o'clock, and
twenty minutes later the buildings were a
blazing furnace. When the struggles of the
doomed horses were the greatest, and it was
iierftcily clear that not one of (hem could
be rescued, a big iron gray gelding ou the
second lloar of the building was seen darting
to and fro in front of the flame-lighted win
dows,,. The fire was burning lieruely iu the
rear and the staircase was see.hing. The
crowds in the streets stood gazing at the
wild struggles of the poor beast and all were
as silen as death when the horse suddenly
stopped before one of the windows, and,
rearing on his hind legs, thrust the forepart
ofhis body through the window. His fore
feet hung over the sidewalk, his nostrils
were distended aud his -eyes seemed to be
bursting from his head, He remained there
for several minutes looking imploringly at
the crowd, aud then when the tiames began
touching him he dragged his body back into
the building. Shortly alter this the front
wall ofthe building fell out, and the dead
body of the poor bmte tumbled into, the
street.
The fire broke oat in the cellar. A delay
in notifying the fireman caused by the
watchman running some blocks to inform
his employer that his placj was on fire, in
stead of sending out an alarm, gave the fire
tremendous headway, and though the fire
men worked heroically I he place was com
pletely gutted. The neighborhood being a
tenement district, great excitement was crea
te!, and il was necessary for the police to
clear the street, which was tilled with half
ilad people. This was hardly accomplished
when the front wall of the building fell into
the sire t S veral firemen and pjlicemeti
were caught by the flying bricks and slight
ly injured.
In the burned buildings Were stabled 123
horses, of which only three were rescued.
Of 150 vehicles of all t'e triptiuns, 50 were
entirtly destroyed. The loss on stock is
$10,000. The horses were valued at $13,000
and the building at $20,000. It will probably
take a week to remove the carcasses of the
horses, and in the meantime energetic meas
nres will Lave to be adopted by the health
board to make the neighborhood fit to live
in. Dr. Inahan. actme chief of the disin
fecting cor, has issued orders to send a
large piantity of disinfectants to the place.
Fumes that Kill Forest.
PiTTsBcno, Pa., July Li. At the hearing
to-day ofthe bill in equity filed by the Ar
nold Coal Company to have the Pennsylva
nia Saw Manufacturing Company, at Na
trona, restrained from allowing noxious va-
ors to escape into the air from its works, so
as to be destructive to health and vegetation.
Professor S. P. Langley testified that these
vapors were exceedingly injurious. Trees
died as though smitten by the wrath of om
nipotence. Vegetation of all kinds, not even
excepting the Canad ian thistle, S3on wilted,
and the plague was worse thau that of lo
custs, destroying even roots. Gra;i were
ruiued.it was alleged, even afier they had
escaped contagion to the stage of full growth.
Dr. Langley testified to an analysis of fresh-
fallen snow and to finding It impregnated
with copper. He had also hung a towel cov
ered with pure glycerine against the side of
barn two miles distant from the works
and thus found the amount aud character of
precipitation at that distance. He had put
the fjniea into an atmospheric condenser
and found large j nan ti lies of copper. He
added also that the island near Natrona is
liable to be deposited into the Gulf of Mexi
co, as the trees and other vegetation whoso
roots protect its banks are being destroyed.
A Woman Tarred and Feathered.
Habtkird Citt, ImL,Ju!y IS. A mob of
one hundred men, with black masks over
their faces, attacked the house of Nancy
Vincent, a notorious resort at Montpelier,
this county, Tuesday night. One male in
mate was whipped with switches. The other
inmates escaped. The Vincent woman was
tarred and feathered and the bouse and
furniture were (Uniolisbcd. The occupants

Doling Out The Fund.
Joit5Trw!i, Pa., July JS. Ja.lgeCummin
and William IL Thorn json.of Pittsburg, ar
rived here from Creston this morning at 10
o'clock, and at ouca went tothcoflVe, where
they started to pay out the 8lk0,000. They
wt re late coming, hut no time waa lost in
getting down to work. More than 20 per
sons were in waiting ready to receive their
money, but the growling and grumbling
that was done among the crowd when they
received the amounts they are to get was
simply terrible, Clial L. Dick, who has been
at work ever since the flood, said he did not
want any money, and also stated that be
and another lawyer had mutually agreed not
to take the oath which is required of appli
cants. Mr. Dick's loss, outside of belabor,
would reach over $xMU, but he put it iu at
(X). This morning, when he went for his
voucher, he received the following :
Johnstows, Ta July 14. To Hon. If. II
Cummin, Stute llelief Commission Dear
Sir: The beaier, dial L. Dick, is entitled to
the sum of S0, the same being tlie anionut
on account as recommended by the Board
of Inquiry and approved by the Johnstown
Finance Committee for the Belief of the
sufferers by the flood of May 31, 1S8!, in the
Conemaugh Valley. Board of Inquiry, piO.
By John II. Brown, John Harma'i.
When Mr. Dick received the above he held
it tip to the gaze of every one and littered
some sentences that would scarcely do to a
pear in print. His next door neighbor, Mr.
Dick says, lost two fine properties, and is
now awirdrd S-O.
TUEOKPKROF IUSTUIIHTIO.N.
At the office are employed about forty
ch-rks, who are btiy making out applica
tions for oor eople, who are glad to gel
anyting. The distribution will be as follows:
Seventh ward, Johnstown, Thursday, July
IS ; Fourth ward, Johnstown, Friday, July
10; 6ixth ward, Johnstown, Grubbtown and
Upper Loder townshiM. Saturday and Mon
day, July 20 and 22; Filth ward, Johnstown
Tuesday and Wednesday, July 23 and 21.
Only the poorest of the people in these
places were on hand to day, and the impres
sion here is that those who can possibly sub
sist without taking the oath required will
refuse to swear.
Women who ere weak from sickness are
waiting a chance to get a little money, if
ever so little is coming. Some were there in
torn dresses and some without shoes ; others
were carrying children in their arms, and
the squalling of the youngsters made things
lively for those engaged in making out appli
cations. It seems to be a forgone conclu
sion that if the Governor were ou the scene
himself he would feel sorry that matters
have been delayed so long.
WANT THEIR NAMES Sl'rrRESSEIt.
This morning Judge Cummin asxed Mr.
Thompson to suppress the names of certain
parties who had received money because they
were once well off and did not now want their
names to go to the world as charity subjects.
The names were accordingly suppressed.
Judge Cummin says their accounts have all
been adjusted, and that they are all right.
WILL RErCSE TO TAKE THE OATH.
W. Horace Hose and John P. Linton have
joined hands with Chal L. Dick, and now
say they will not sign the oai.li required. It
is thought others will join this move, and
from present apiearauces the best people
here will take no such amounts as offered.
If this move should prove to lie a concerted
one there will be some trouble here over the
matter.
The highest amount of money paid to any
oae person to-day was $200, the lowest $-0. !
More than two thirds of the applicants re
ceived $0 or less. i

Service men captured $21,000 in counterfeit
money hen; to-day and had a pistol duel
with James Ouyon, a counterfeiter, resulting
hi Guyson's escape and Detective D.'iielio
receiving a wound in the head.
Nelson Driggs keeps th United States
Hotel, a road bouse near the Soldiers' Home,
About 15 years ago Drigit and Guyon were
members of a gang of counterfeiters in Illi
nois. Driggs was arrested and served II
years at Joliet. Guyon escaped, carrying
with him counterfeit plates and $K).oiHl in
bogus greenbacks. This money never made
its apjiearancc till last February. Chief
Beil, of the Secret Service, came here iu
March and made Driggs's acquaintance, pre
tending to be McWilliams, of Hartford.
Conn. A short time ago Bell broached the
subject of counterfeit money to Drigg-i, who
offered to get $10,000 counterfeit for him.
Bell then summoned D,!tctive Denello to
assist him. Driggs went to Cincinnati to get
the st ii If, but returned with only $I0,XM
saying Guyon would come hist nilit with
the balance. Guyon came and Driggs de
livered $21,000 of the bogus money to Bell
receiving in return what purported to be
$7,000 in good money, but which was really
only $000. Driggi was then placed under
arrest and guarded in his room.
This rooming an attempt was made to
capture Guyon, who was supposed to lie con
cealed on Brigg's premises. Bull, who was
reinforce by five more secret service ollicers
osted his men, three of them at the edge of
a wooded lot adjoining the house, with in
structions to close in at a signal. Guyon, it
proved, was hid in some underbrush, ami
wben the olUcers closed in he passed unob
s?rved bet wee d them. But he had not gone
far when they saw him and opened fire on
him. Guyon ddged behind a tree and re
turned the fire, putting a bullet through
Donello's right ear and glancing over his
scalp. Guyon then took to his heels and
was soon lost to siglit. The offirs are
scouring the country in search of him. One
of the officers claims to have wounded
Guyon during the pistol battle.
The Market Is Ours.
Philadelphia Korih American.
The failure of the wheat crop in India and
Russia is almost certain to give the United
Sutes the command of the markets of the
world. India, it apears, will be no factor in
the world's food supply this year, while
Russia and Austro-Hungiry, the two great
exporting countries of L'urope, will hardly
have enough wheat to supply their own
wants. Rjuiuania and eastern Germany
will also be unable to expurt wheat this year
and the shortage will be so great that the
United States will have the Euroitcan mar
ket completely at her mercy. It is true that
England, France ami Spain will have crops
above the average, but they will not have
nearly as much as they need for themselves.
Knglauil, France and Italy must always buy
wheat, and th s year they will get none from
Russia or Austro-Hungary, and little or
none at all from India, so they will have to
make their purchases almost entirely from
us. Should the wheat crop here be a failure
prices would jump to enormous figures ; but
in spite of the expected shortage in North
Dakoti and Montana, it is fairly probable
that we shall have a sufficiently large crop
to supply the world without stinting the
home niaiket.
Mother and Babies Perish.
Youwostowh, O., July 18. The dead bod
ies of Mrs. William G.lehrist and her two
daughters, Violet and ivy, aged two years
and live years respectively, were fjund at 8
o'clock this morning lying in Yankee run, a
small stream six mile north of this city.
They were the wifo and children of a well
known stone contractor in this city. Mr.
Gilchrist kissed his wife and children good
bye lost Tuesday morning, his wife saying
they would goon a short visit to relatives
in Sharon, Pa. Five hundred and fitly dol
lars that was in the house, Mrs. Gilchrist
took with her, saying she would deposit it
in Wick Bivs'. bank before she left, but the
the deposit was never made. The only ex
planation of the affair is that Ihe unfortu
nate woman lost the money and was crazed.
8he was seen, accompanied by her children,
at 8 o'clock last night near w here the bod
ies were found, walking about in an aimless
manner, avoiding any persons who might
approach. The water in the creek waa only
ten inches deep, and the crazed mother mnst
have drowned one child at a time, and then,
clasping one in each arm, lay down and end
ed her own life.
HOCAN'S FATE.
The Daring Aeronaut Drowned In
the Atlantic.
New Yoke, July 18. There seems to be
no longer any doaht that the most daring
and foremost aeronaut of the world. Prof.
K. D. Hogan. of Jackson, Michigan, is lost.
He made an ascension from the yard of the
Nassau Gas Company's works in Brooklyn
Tuesday, and while be has not been heard
from word has come back that his balloon
diped in the ocean Tuesday evening iu lat
itmle 40:50, longitude Tl:30, tufged away at
the car for a time, then broke loos and sail
ed away in a stiff breeze. The pointat which
the car was dropped is almost directly south
of the eastern lip or Ianig Island and almost
due east of Philadelphia, thus being more
than a hundred miles from land in any di
rection. It was here that the hero of over
4'X) successful balloon ascensions must have
gone dow n.
Prof Hogin came to New York lo make
on exjierimental trip in Peter Campbell's air
ship. About li.OuO fuet of gas were forced
into it so that it would carry fully 700
pounds. Into the car were placed 2 V) pounds
of sand bags and the electric motor to rise
and lower the balloon and guide it. TI
prods -Mir stepped in, the ropes were cut and
h j sailed away to death.
LOST CONTROL or THE 811 1 P.
A, the height of a few hundred feet, the
p-oiel!erfan got loose and fell clattering to
the ground, leaving the aeronaut at the mer
cy of the winds which were blowing swiftly
toward the ocean. The inventor, Mr. Camp
bell, snd John Burrelt, who backed the en
terprise are missing, not caring to face the
deed man's friends. A dispatch from Prov
idence, Rhode Island, says a balloon passed
over that city at 7 o'clook Tuesday evening.
If this is authentic it must have been anoth
er balloon.
Pilot Phelau, of the pilot boat Caprice,
brings the only authentic news. He brought
the bark Belt into port to-day and reported
the balloon. He was seen at the oflices of
the pilot commissioners this afternoon, he
said :
rilXIT PIIEI.AS'S STORY.
"At 5:30 o'clock on the afternoon of Tues
day last, when we were about 150 miles rout Ii
southeast of Sandy Hook running before a
stiff 25 milo north northwest breeze, the
lookout aloft sighted two schooners and a
peculiar looking object lying near them on
the surface of the ocean. One of the two
schooners was to leeward of the object,
which the lookout took to be a square rig
ger, and was bearing northward. The second
schooner was bearing east southeast. We
made up to the object, aud at about G:30
made her out to be a balloon, about 50 or 00
feet in diamttcr. She was in longilude71:30,
latitude 39:50.
"As it was getting dark, and we knew that
probably some one was probably in danger
in the balloon, we crowded on extra sail
and fairly Hew over the water toward it. At
about 7 o'clock, an hour and a half after we
had fust sighted the balloon, when we were
alwut 100 yards from it, the balloon parted
from some heavy object in the water, which
it had been dragging along, and flew up into
the air. When several hucdred feet above
the surface of the sea it w-as caught in the
north northwest wind and went before it
east southeast at the rate of about 25 miles
an hour.
TUGOING AT THE CAR.
''When we first sighted the balloon and
drew close enough to make her out, she was
egg-shsped and tugging very bard at what
must have been the car. About five ropes
held her to the car, which was buried five
feet under water. The balloon was assum
ing all kinds of sliajies, inflatiug and col
lapsing. At the last try it collapsed at the
end, aud, assuming the shape of a pumpkin,
arose in the air. There was nothing hanging
to the ropes of the balloon. ,
"If Prof. Hog-an was in the balloon when
we came up with her then he was drowned.
Assistance could not have been rendered to
him by the schooner I spoke of as being to
leeward and bound northward. It is not at
all improbable the schooner bound east
southeast may have something to say when
she arrives at her destination. We cruised
over the spot in which (he balloon and its car
parted. There were no signs of life and no
evidence that a human being had found his
death in the water. There were no floating
objects. Everything was as quiet snd as
calm as a mill pond. At the time a heavy
haze prevailed, though the sky was clear."
THE AERON ACT S CAREER.
Prof. Hogan was forty years old. and made
over 400 successful balloon ascensions and 32
parachute junqis in the 2S years be has fol
lowed the dangerous business. He was re
garded as tlie foremost aeronaut in the w6rld.
Some of his friends are still hoping that he
may lie alive, even if injured, aud landed in
tome out of the way place. He had a con
tact appear at Ottawa, Ca iada, to-m ir.'ov
to make a jump, and they regarded his ab
sence as a sure sign t hat some serious mishap
has befallen him, or otherwise they say he
would surely appear to perform his contract if
be had to crawl on his hands and knees to do
so. A reixrt was in circulation here that the
balloon had descended near littsbugh.
Inventor ( jnipbell says the ship was not
built according to his directions. He says
the neck of the balloon was at the bottom of
the car aud that it is possible Aeronaut Hog
an may have died of asphyxitation, as there j
was more or less gas escaping all the time.
All experienced aeronauts agree that the
neck of the balloon should be at lust 15 feet
above the car.
A Husband's Awful Crime.
Clevelakd, July 21. A special from Bry
an, Williams county, Ohio, brings news of a
terrible tragedy near Kdgarton. Hiram
Hoadley. Jr., and his wife separated for a
second time, after having made up last Sep
tember. The wife sued for a divorce and
went to live with her father, Fanner New
man. This morning Hoadley secreted him
self near the house. His wife came out to
milk the cows, and he seized her with his
left hand and with his right he fired three
shots into her breast aud left her for dead.
Mr. Newman heard the reiiort of the shots
and started in the direction of the barn,
wcii he met Hoadley, who at once shot the
old man tnree times in the breast, one ball
passing through the heart. Hoadley then
pursued his mother and a younger sister
of Mrs. Hoadley, and but for timely 'assist
ance would have killed them also. Hoadley
then returned to the place where the wife
fell. He found her still living, and locking
his arm in her s, emptied two more cham
bers of his revolver, one in her forehead and
the other in her mouth, and then shot him
self, inllicliug a wound from which he died
at 11 o'clock to-day. Hoadley had three
revolvers on his person, and it is thought be
intended to kill the entire Newman family.
He leaves four children by a former wife.
He was once a prominent 'politician of Wil
liams county, and a very prosjierous and rc
sjiected citizen.
Secretary Blaine's Health.
Bar Harbor, July IS. Judging from a
visit paid to Secretary Blaine to-day at his
cottage by a correspondent, it is unhesitat
ingly stated that the Premier is anything
else than a sick man. He was exceedingly
busy with an immense amount of corres
pondence, which he had just begun to dis
Ioee of wben called upon. Shortly before
he hod returned from a long drive and when
asked about his health he replied that he
had uniformly declined for tin past five
years to aflirrn or deny anything concerning
his health. He would not interfere with
the enterprising correspondents of certain
newspayers, who, about once in sixty days,
set afloat some astonishing stories In regard
to bis physical condition, the stories being
generally concocted by persons who bad
never spoken to him. Mr. Blaine said these
gentlemen were welcome to the field with
out any form of correction or denial from
him. Mr. Blaine can be daily seen on the
streets, either -walking or driving.
Walker Blaine said there was not the slight
est foundation for the story of his father's rfs
i gt.ation, wr for (he itoit tvtn that he con
tern plated resigning.
Another Dam Breaks.
Lahcaster, O., July 21. One of the most
disastrous storms ever known in the Hock
ing Valley culminated in the breaking of
Sharpe'a dam, at Sugar Grove, on the Hock
ing Canal, yesterday. The dam held in
store a large body of water thatsnpplled the
lower levels of I he canal. The heavy rains
had filled the reservoir to the banks, when,
suddenly, the dam gave way, and with a
mighty roar the sea of water went out
through the valley, taking with it every
movable object. For 20 miles the soil is
ploughed up Trees, fences, croju and hun
dreds of head of livestock have been swept
away. No lives were lost because the people
had taken warning and because the houses
arc situated on the bluff that overlooks the
valley. But Ihe canal for miles is a wrei k.
and thousands of feet uf railroad track are
washed away.
At Athens the Cincinnati, WashitigUn
and Baltimore and Hocking Valley Rail
road tracks are carried away, and trains will
be delayed several days. Roads and bridges
are annihilated, and the whole valley for
miles looks like a dry water course. Com
petent judgei place the loss in the hundreds
of thousands.
;The Fatal Kerosene.
Lewistos, Pa., July 18.- -A very snd and
h irrible accident occurred lost evening near
Maitland, this county, which resulted in the
death of three little children this morning.
Michael Stine, the father, was busy iu the
harvest field some distance away from the
house. Mrs. Stine, the mother, was confin
ed to her bed by illness in a room adjoining
the kitchen. She instructed her 0 year old
daughter to make fire in the kitchen stove
preparatory to getting supper. The girl's
two sisters, aged 6 and 3 years resiet:tively,
were with her. The fire was stubborn and
did not burn as rapidly as was desired and
the eldest girl procured a coal oil can and
poured some ofthe contents on the simmer
ing fire, while the other little ones sUssl
close by to witness the results. It immwlia
tely ignited and exploded the can.
The flames and oil spread all over the three
children, when a panic among them ensued.
The mother was horror stricken, and
while too sick to leave her bed, yet she went
to their rescue notwithstanding, and after
putting the fire out she rang the dinner bell
and called the workmen in. but then the
children were so horribly burned that all
medical skill could do was to alleviate tlie
lmin until death ended their sufferings this
morning.
Important Question Involved
In
Franklin County.
CiiAmiERsnrRi, July 17. The suit which
was begun some lime ago by ex-Sheriff
Kurtz against Franklin county, to recover
$10,000 claimed to be due him for boarding
prisoners and tramps during his term, was
discontinued to day by the Sheriffs counsel
It is understood that the suit will be renew
ed in other form in a few days. The ques
tion involved is an iniiortant one. At the
time Kurtz was elected the amount paid by
the county for boarding prisoneis was fixed
by a special act of the legislature applicable
to this county. This special art was repeal
ed during his term, and tho amount allowed
for boarding decreased by the court from
forty cents a day to twenty-five cents a day.
The counsel for the sheriff claim that the
repealing act was unconstitutional, so far as
it was applied to him, since the fees and
emoluments of an officer can not be either
increased or diminished during the term for
which he was elected.
Shot for a White Mask.
BiRMistitUH, Ala., July 13 Postmaster
Gray, at Cain, Lamar county, was shot and
killed yesterday by a man who escaped.
Gray lived on hour, and gave the following
account of the affair: "A few. days ago a
package came to the office addressed 'Cain.'
No person living there bears that name, so he
returned it to the sender. A man named
Burrows called for the package yesterday,
and being told it had been returned, asked
Gray if he had seen the contents. Gray said
yes, upon which Burrow shot him and
threatened to shoot Mrs. Gray and her sis
ter." Gray said the package had come to the
olrh-e partly oen, and he could not help see
ing that it contained a white mask.
Gray also said Burrows was the same
Rube Burrows, the Arkansas train robber,
who escaped trom the officers at Montgom
ery, Ala., a year or so ago. the lime his
brother Jim was caught and carried back to
Arkansas.
Makes Cattle Crazy.
Reii Bank, N. J., July 18. The buffalo fly
has appeared in Monmouth county, and the
farmers have lost many head of cattle by it.
The fly is small and of a black color. Its
method of attack is for the female fly to
bore into the fledi ai the base ofthe horns
and deposit her eggs, aud when the grub
hatches it iene( rates the head at the base of
the horns aud also works through the
horns.
The animal thus a filleted shakes its head
and attempts to scratch the top of i's head
with its hind hoofs. While the grub is grow
ing the animal becomes crazy and butts its
head against fences, which results oftentimes
in the breaking off of its horns. There is no
care for the animal after the fly has once de
posited its eggs. The most effective way to
keep the flies off the cattle is to daub the
base of the horns with wood or coal tar.
