England’s Poet Laureate Passed Peace- fully Away to Unknown Shores. Lord Tennyson, the Poet Laureate of England, died at 1:35 o'clock Thursday morning, at his home in London. - In an interview with Sir Andrew Clarke, one of the physicians who attended the Poet Laureate, he said that Lord Tennyson's death was the most glorious that he bad ever seen. There was no artificial light in the room, and the chamber was almost in darkness save where a broad flood of moon- light poured in through a western window. The moon's rays fell across the bed upon which the dying man lay, bathing him in their Pellucid light and forming a Rem- brandt-like background to the scene. = All was silent save‘the soughing of the Wind as it gently played through the trees surround- ing the house—a fitt ng requiem for the geatle poet, who sang of love and the beau- ties of nature. Motionless Lord Tennyson lay upon his couch, the tide of his life gently and slowly ebbing out into the ocean of the infinite. No rocks of pain orsorrow checked its course or caused a ripple upon the outgoing tide. As peacefully and gently as he had lived, so he died, looking until thie end into the eyes of those dear to him. All the members of his family were by his bedside, and Sir Andrew Clarke remained by his side until he breathed his last. 80 gentle and painless was his passing away that the family did not know he had gone gone until Dr.Clarke broke the news to Lady Tennyson,who bore the closing scenes of her trial well in spite of her extremely delicate health, The Hon. Mr. Hallam Tennyson, now Lord Tennyson, says his fathar's death was eminently peaceful and there was not the slightest trace of suffering. Once or twice during the night he smiled at those sitting by his bedside, and when the end came he appeared as one going to sieep. "LORD ALFRED TENNYSON. Lord Tennyson’s illness dates from Sept. 27, when he became chilled while driving. A cold resulted, which developed into in- fluenza. For the last four days he had been lying at the point of death. Sir Andrew Clark, England's royal phys cian, was sent by the queen to attend him, and the whole nation offered up prayers for his recovery, but to no avail. 18 vigorous constitution enabled him to makea pro longed struggle with death, but the outcome was a ‘oregone fact, at least two days ago. His inteilect was clear and vigorous up to within a short time before his death, and he expressed no fear to enter the future world. A SKETCH OF ALFRED TENNSYON. Alfred Tennyson was born on August 8, 1809, at Somerby, a village in Lincolnshire, about half way between Spilsby and Horn- castle. He was one of the 12 children (of whom seven were sons) of the Rev. G, Clay- ton Tennyson, L. L. D., rector of Sumerby and vicar of Grimsby Alfred was taught the rudimentary subjects, partly at home and partly at ‘‘Eadney’s Village School.” Alfred Tennyson's first verses were written upon the model of Thomson's ‘‘Seasons.” In 1828 he went to Trinity College, Cam- bridge, and 1829 gained a gold medal for a poem on Timbuctoo. He published his first volume about this time, and in 1828 his second volume was published v r Edward Moxon. The story that “Locksley Hall” was based upon personal experience is said to have not the slightest foundation. In 1850 he was married to Miss Emily Sellwood, and in the same year succeeded ‘Woodsworth as poet laureate, and produced on the day of the funeral of the Duke of Wellington (November, 1852,) his immortal “Ode.)” The Crimean war exerted a de- pressing effect on the sensitive genius, as evidenced by his poem: *‘Maud.”” After a siience of several years the series of ‘‘Idyls of the King,” embracing four stories in blank verse, drawn from the Arthurian le- gends, restored the poet's waning popular. ity, and was generally accepted as his great- est poetical effort, a verdict confirmed ten jours later when the cycle was completed y the publication of the ‘‘Holy Grail and Other Poems’’ (1869). In the interval be- tween the publication of the second of his Idyls Tennyson hud issued ‘Enoch Arden’ (1864). e has since then published the “Window, or the Songs of the “Wrens” (1870) and several dramas, lyrics, ballads. ete. “A Concordance to thie entire Works of Alfred Tennyson,” published in 1869, is a remarkable proof of the Laureate’s wonder- ful popularity. At the Commemoration of the University of Oxford, giving ex- pression to the universal feelingof England, conferred on the poet the honorary degree of D. C. L., and the fellows of his own col- lege, Trinity, Cambridge, endorsing the judgment of the sister university, subscrib- ed to purchase his bust (by Woolner), which they have placed in the vestibule of their library, and in 1869 th -y unanimously elect- ed him an honorary feliow of the college. THE LAUREATE'S OWN POEM ON DEATH. Tennyson's admirers recall one of the most beautiful lyricsof the English language, written by the poet in his 80th year, on this very subject of death. It forms a fitting song for his own going out. "It is entitled *Crossing the Bar,” and is as follows: Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And nay, there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea; But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless Turns again home, Twilight and evening bells, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewells ‘When I embark; For though from out our bourne of Time and Place s may bear me far, ve crossed the bi RILEY'S TRIBUTE.

They Maks Their Last Raid and Ter Determined Men Lose Their Lives. The Bloodies: Bandit Ba-tle Ever Fought in Bleeding Kansas. Wednesday morning, shortly after the First]Nationat: Bank #f Coffeeyville, Kan- sas opened its doors, five: mounted men rode up before the bank. Three of them entered and with drawn revolvers ordered the cashier to hand over the money in the safe and vault. The cashier at first refused and a bullet whizzed by his head. A number of cit:zens were attracted by the unusual sight of tive mounted men in front of the §bank, and when the sound of the shot was heard they'rushed into the bank and a general fusillade followed. : The robbers retreated from the bank and attempted to gain their horses, at the same time firing their revolvers at the citizens who were attempting to kill or capture them. In the fight seven men were killed, four badly wounded. and two of the robbers captured. Two of the latterjare said to be mortally wounded. They are members of the famous Dalton gang. The dead are: Bob Dalton, desperado; Grant Dalton, desperado; Emmett Dalton, desperado; Joseph Evans, desperaco; John Moore, “Texas J ack,’’ desperado; T. C. Con- nelly, City Marshal; L. M. Baldwin, bank clerk; G. 'W. Cubine, merchant; C. G. Brown, shoemaker. . i Thomas G. Ayers, cashier of the First National Bank, was shot through the groin and cannot live, T. A. Reynolds, of the attacking party, has a wound in the right breast, but itisnot considered necessarily dangerous. Lais Detz, another of the at tacking party, was shot in the side. His wound is a serious one, but is not fatal. The Robbers entered the village at 9:30 a. m., and seperated, two of them going to Condon’s Bank and theothers going to the First National Bank. At Condon’s Bank the men were told by the casnier that the safe was regulated by a time lock and could not be opened until 10 o’ctock. They covered him with Winchesters and told him they would wait, In the’ meantime the others went into the - First National Bank and ordered Cashier Ayer to hand over the money in the vautt. At first he refused, and attempted to reach for his revolver. One of the gang fired a shot at him. He then handed over what money was in the safe, and, after placing it in a bag, the gang started to rejoin their confederates, but citi- zens quickly vathered and attempted to cap- ture the robbers, who were immediately recognized as members of the Dalton gang of outlaws. The robbers fired at the crowd of citizens, and the shots were returned with precision and effect. The fighting became a general one, and bullets tlew thick and fast. When the smoke of the battle cleared away, four of the Dalton gang were lying dead on the round, and three citizens were also killed. Two of the robbers were wounded, and three citizens had received serious bullet wounds. One of the gang succeeded in es- capi ng, buta mounted posse is in pursuit, and it is certain tha: he will be captured. ALL THE STOLEN MONEY RXCOVERED. After the battle was over search was made for the money which the bandits had secur- ed from the'two banks. It was found in the sacks where it had been placed by the’ robbers. One sack was found under the body of Bob Dalton, who had fallen dead upon it while he was escaping from the First National Bank. The other was found tiehtly clutched in Texas Jack's hand. The money was restored to its right ful owners, The bodies of those of the attacking party who were killed were removed to their re- spective homes, while the bodies of the ead bandits were allowed to remain where they bad fallen until the arrival of the Cor- oner from Independence, who had them re- moved to the Court House. There he hed an inquest, the jury returning a verdict in accordance with the facts. The inquest over the bodies of the dead citizens wiil be post: Toned until the resulr of the pursuit of Al. ie Ogee is known. During thé time the bodivs remained in the square they were viewed by hundreds of the peopte of this and surrounding towns, who, having heard of the tragedy, cane in swarms to inspect the scene. The excitement was intense,and the fare of Allie Ogee, should he be captur- ed, was determined by universal consent. He will be hanged. ° HISTORY OF THE BAND. THEY BEGIN BY CATTLE STEALING AND EFD IN BANK AND TRAIN ROBBERIES. The Daltons were a numerous family. There were five boys and three girls. Of thu boys two were engaged in farming——one in Oklahoma, where the mother of the family lives, and one near Coffeyville, where three of the brothers met their death to-day. The Daltons were second cousins of the noted James boys, who defied the law in Missouri for so many years, and through them were related to the Youngers, who are now serving life terms of imprison- ment in the penitentiary of Minnesota. Bob Daiton was the first of the boys to enter upon a ca eer of crime. While hae was scarcely more than a boy he became » cattle thiefand did a thriving business, driving off cattle fromthe her:s on: the Cherokee Strip, and taking them across the Indian Territory into Colorado, where he would sell them He was joined ‘soon after he entered the business by his brother, Gratton Dalton. Their deoredations be- came so frequent and troublescme that the (attlemen organized to drive them from the strip. A porss of cowboys was formed for that puroose and gave the Daitone a hard chase. finally losing them in the wilds of New Mexico. The next heard of the "Daltons was in California, where they took to train and stage robbing. While robbing a stage there me of the passengers. was killed in the ai tack. This spurred the office's on to'extra- ordinary effoits to effect the capiute of the ang, and Grat Dalton was-fina ly captured. While being taken to a place fcr safe keep- ing, he was rescued by the other members of the gang, the whole party finally escap- ing after being chased in Calitornia and through a good part of Arizona In the spring of 1889, the gang turned up again in the Indiun Territory when _Okla- home was opened to settlement, the Dalton boys secured a choice claim for their mother near Hennessey, where she still lives. supported bv one of her sons. At the time of the opening, Bob Dalton was a United States Marshal, being selected on account of his peculiar fitness to deal with desperate characters. : Af er the opening he returned to his life of outlawry and he and Grat were then joined by their brother Emmett, the young- est of the brothers. They were at that time’ also joined by Texds Jack, and soon gather- »d about them several desperate characters. It was then that the most successful peripd of the Dalton’s career, from their stand point, began. ? Their attention was first directed to the robbing of express trains and perpetrated many successful **hold-ups,”’ the most noted of which are the robberies'of the Santa Fe at Wharton and Rock; the Missouri Pacific at Adair, and the 'Frisco near Vin- i | The Wharton robbery was, rhaps, the most dramatic of all. The robbers went to Wharton on horseback. and, entering the station there, asked the operator if the train was on time. He replied that he would in- gui e, and was about to do so, when one of band, fearing that the operator had t ‘rec)guized them, shot him dead upon the ® bandits leisurely took sll ‘and Ohio Southwestern | parties. spot without a ‘word of warming.

One | stray bullet passed into the room of a phy- sician, and, striking the physician in the head, killed him instantly. Another physi- cian who, hearing the firing, had run in its direction, was also shot and killed. : The last train robbery by the gang was that of the Frisco, near: Vinita.

The A the money in sight, and, remounting their horses, road away. This raid netted them $10,000, which was such a severe loss to the bank that it was forced into liquidation. Wednesday was the next and last raid of the gang, and with it ended the existence of a band equaled ouly in the desperate char- acter of its undertakings by the Jlamesand Younger bands. A HOMESTEAD DYNAMITER. An Attempt to Blow Forty Non Union is 8s Into Atoms. An explosive was thrown into the Man- sion House, Homestead, Pa., early Friday morning, and all the glass in the windows of the building shattered and some other little damage done. The house was occupied | by about 40 boarders, but no one was injur- ed. The building was recently purchased by the Carnegie Company from John F. Cox,’ and was used as a boarding house for non- union men. The explosion caused a panic among the boarders and great excitement in the borough. The exp osive, supposed to be a dynamite bomb, was thrown through the glass in the front door. A rigid investiga- tion is being made by Sheriff McCleary. Superintendent Morrison,of the Duquesne Steel Works, stated yesterday that he ‘had proof that a man who has been prominent- ly identified with not only the Homestead strike, but who was conspicuous in the strike at Duquesne, Pa., last year, recently pur- chased 100 pounds of dynamite. To guard against a repetition of Friday's attempt, Sheriff McCleary placed a deputy on gnard at each of the four large boarding houses where non-union men are quartered, while two deputies will hereafter patrol the town at nizht. GENERALLY ‘DEPLORED, The strikers and people of Homestead generally deplore the affair, as they realize that it will tend fo alienate the sympathy of the masses from them. The Advisory Board issued a statement. deploring the at- tempt to blow up the house and condemn- ing such actions very strongly. They say they hive been trying to show that they are law-abiding citizens and want to ‘continue in that way. Itis intimated in the state. ment that the work was done to keep the troops and deputy sheriffs in Homestead: The state ment concludes as follows: *“We want {t distinctly. understood that we con: demn all such outrages, and to convince the pub ic we are in earnest we hereby offer a reward of one hundred ($100) 1or the arrest aud conviction of te criminal, whether hebe a non-union man ora what man »? \ ie A GRASSHOPPER SCOURGE. Myriads of Them in Kansas and Missouri, Myriads of grasshoppers have appeared in Buchanan (Kansas) and adjoining counties and are rapidly destroying the winter wheat. The hoppers are not of the variety that ap- peared in 1879, but are the common field grasshopper that stays in one locality an en_ tire season. 71h» warm, diy weather heg hatched them out by the nuillions, and un- less a cold rain or frost comes immense dam age will be done. The reports of the appearance of swarms of grasshoppers in various parts of the country are geting so numerous that they are begin- ning to cause some auxie.y regarding the tender winter wheat plait which is just ap- pearing above ground. Fourteen counties in Missouri report to the State secretary of the board of agriculture that the insec's are so numerous that they are causing alarm to the farmers. In many parts of Kansas they are said to be threatening to destroy many acres of wheat. COLLISION AT A CROSSING. A Train Strik 8 a Street Car, Killing Two Passengers and Injuring : Three Oihers. A Cincinnati street car on the Fairmount fine was struck by a train on the Baltimore railroad at the Brighton crossing Wednesday evening, kill- ing two passengers and seriously injuring two more besides the conductor. The watch- man at the crossing raised the gates and al- lowed the car to pass through. Before it got safely passed, however, the train rushed down upon it, striking the rear platform, turning the car over and throwing passen- gers in every direction. The dead are: John Fries and John L. Murray. John Fitzpatrick, the conductor of the car, was seriously hurt and two passengers, named Jacob Fiiznagel and James John- wn, were elso badly ent and bruised. Another Peck Report.
