"A c.ireful examination of the subject leads me to the opinion that this statement is true only to a limit.! extent. Whila sol diers are expected to work when necessary, it wiil be found, I think, on examination, that the amount of worit require I oftheni is small, an I that so far as their tre it-ueut by their otli :ers is oine. rne-l, it is, with few exejH lions, as n 1 as could be expected. 1 del much he-.it. ition in prop -iiiff a teme ly.

Referring to tho conduct of the citizen settlers during the recent oi-n ug of tin Oklahouia territory, (Jen.

Observed u waterspout form ing off the larboard bow (ship heading south west) and moving in direction of steamer at an angle of three points, On account of its close proximity was about to s.cer clear of it, when I observed it breaking about 30 yards from the ship. Immediately after ward the steamer pissed through tho outer c lgo of tho whirlpool, the diameter of w Men I should ju lo to have been about M to 70 yards. "On passing through tho outer elgo I ob served that the center waa hollow, the water circling from west to east, or against tho sun. Tlie wuter that fell on duck wus very salty, and the drops as largo as ac cent piece. During tho few se-on Is of our passage through it tho wind blew at the rute of ulmiit i or ;io miles per hour. I did not observe any calm in tho centre ut all, the w ater arising from it resembling an inverted fountain. After clearing it the wind resum ed its regular foruo, about lifU'Cil m ilw per hour. " Ileing tho olllcer of the watch, I had lit tlo time to observe tho barometer, but it fluctuated one or two hundredths and then resumed it previous reading. Tho clouds j above and around the spout were very r g I ged and much disturbed, similar to those in a thunder ttorm; their motions wero very I rapid, ascending, descending and breaking 1 away from each other ufter wuter had been absorbed into them. Tho wuter was whirl ing very rapidly for several minute ufter the . break, showing wbut tremendous circular force there must have been. I may mention that ujon pasting through it tho steering of tho vessel was not fleeted, so that if there were any current ut all it must have Uteu -jrcular and confined to the center."

An electric light current In Xew York roasted a horse to death threw tho driver to the street and knocked a police sergeant senseless. As in the Feekes case, the deadly current wa carried to its victims through a tele phone wire. A big polo, carrying numberless wire, stand on Fourth avenue near th corner of Twenty-eighth street. One of the wire, a telephone line, fell to the street and formed a loop across (lie down truck of the Fourth Avenue Railroad. Soon after It fell Thomas Whelan, driver of a llrmht delivery wagon, came along. The horse etepped on the ap parently hurniles wire, came to a halt and then sprang aside and fell. The jolt to the vehicle threw Whelan to the street, onl when hear)) ho received a shock which threw turn prostrate Into the gutter. Regaining his feet ngaiti, the driver undertook to raise tlie horse, hut ns soon iu he touched tho animal another shock passed through him. Ho then Comprehended the cause and lay still.

Serg .ml Mae luiald wider took to find the deadly wire, and iu making t turn around tho wagon became in con tact with it in tho darkness. Tho wiro struck him in the forche 1 1 and ho fell t tho pjveuio'it sense less, a though he had been shot. Roundsman Cassidy went to tho rescue of hi itricken couim in ler and wIi .mi he caught bold of the Scrg"a.nt's ? ho received a hock which compelled him to release his hold. A second vll'ort was more successful ttid soon after being carried to tho sidewalk the Sergeant slowly recovered his senses. His hund was covered with blood, nnd ub vo his brow was the Imprint of tho wire, while beside It was a gusli evidently occasioned by the fall. Ho was dazed and almost helpless, to that he was obliged to go homo. About live o'clock, up to w hich time tho borso continued to roast, it occurred to some one to sen d to the Manhattan Electric Com pany's shop, in West Tweiity-lifili street. Foreman Knight and two linemen visited the sceno, wearing b.xit and gloves, and found the de id wiro on the end of which the horse's body lay.

THE ATFIELD-31'C0Y VENDETTA fur m cor rom a voliit is to a hatfulo crowd. Another bloody chapter wa added to the tory of the Hatfield McCoy vendetta, by a skirmish In which Mrs. James Drown wa killed and John Drnmflold wounded by a detachment of the McCoy party in ambush. The fucd ha now assumed the aspect of a war of extermination, and the battle which has been delayed may begin at any minute. The only thing which has kept the Hat, fields from attacking the McCoy wa tlae strong force and Intrenched position of tho latter, and the situation is now entireSly changed. The Uiumficld family, stung to frenzy b the shooting of Al lirumlield and hi wif.i have decided tojoin the Hatfield in u at terr.pt to exterminate the McCoy. This will give the Hatfield loaders at least 2o0 armed men. John lirumlield, Chns lirumlield and Geo. Hatfield, all of them cousins of Al. nnd his wife, went to Huntington and recruited bout a dozen of their relatives who work thero in tho Cincinnati V Ohio Railroad I shops. They purchased all the rilles and re- vol vers they could Und iu tho place, secur I Ing in nil about 100 repeaters of recent I anode! nnd nearly l.'lo revolvers. They also j bought several thousand cartridges. This , H. ply of wnr material was loaded upon 10 , wagons and they wero driven south toward Ihe scene of tho Lincoln County feud, snr-ruiin-clby a guard of 14 depcrato men firmed to the teeth. No attempt was in ado to stop them, 11.1 the county outho.iiies are powerless. i The cavalcade was nttncko I at Fudge's Creek, near the Guyundotto river, by a party of McCoys in nnibu-h near the Inrmhouso of Mrs. James Drown, w ho was a Hatlield before sho was married. The Hatfield had ltoped for supper and were eating when a Volley was poured through tho windows. Tho Hutlields were taken by surprise, but tcizod their rilles and returned the fire. It was pitch dark, aud it ts not known if any of iho Mot Joys wero hurt, as tho Hatlield wero ifraid to search in the underbrush. When lirumlield' men returned to tho house Mr. ( llrowu lay dead Upon the tlocr with a bullet through her neck, and John lirumlield, the : leader of the party, was found 1 1 bo wound rd, but it 1 iiuiossihlo to leuru bow seri ously. I This last affair ha stirred up feeling to the highest pitch and it has beeu determined to tall on the Governor for troops. Every one recognizes, however, that regular militia can Jo little, for they will be ignorant of the ountry and its thousands of hiding places, Hid would he shot down from ambush. There Is some talk of organizing a company 1 if State ranger tii'slele l 011 the Texas plan, Vit 110 one can be found to assume the load' irship. j Tho latest information concerning the louble lynching which led to the present ' outbreak confirms the first rciMirts, and adds to the enormity of tho crime. Green Mc ! Coy and Milt Haley, the victims, beforo they were murdered confessed thut in attempting lo kill the llrumlields they wore currying Out a written contract made between them tnd certain parties whoso name were not ' given, the consideration for which was .V. I A bund of regulators, it is claimed, exist in that neighborhood, who engage persons o Commit murder. .McCoy and Haley were elected to kill the Urumflclds, who were re garded us very obnoxious. Tlie alleged lyncher were part of the posso that were conducting McCoy und Haley to jail. After the llrumlields hud beeu attack a party was formed to revenge themselves upon the lirumlield assailants. A dozen of this party went to iho Sheriff uud tendered their assistance to escort McCoy and Haley to jail. They were accepted, and tiio party sturtol with the prisoners for the county seat. They were compelled to remain over night at the house of a mun named George Fry. During iho night, when the Sheriff was asleep, the rest of the party took tho prisoners to tho woods. Then they demand ed that they confess to the Rrumtiold mur der, and when the prisoners told the story the 12 men clubbed them until they were insensible. Then they beat their heads to a Icily and strung them to a tree. While bunging, their bodies were riddled with bul lets. The report that tho lyncher went to the jail is untrue, as tho best accounts say there wero no lyncher except the posse who were upoed to be protecting the prlsou SIXTEEN MEN UURIED.
