were anxious to put out the flames except Campbell and his friends, who seemed bent upon mischief. Marshal Conrad three times requested them to be orderly, and the third time threatened them with arrest. This brought on words and the Marshal hit Campbell over the head with a pine stick. Campbell had his arms fold ed. Suddenly raising his left hand with a large knife in it, he struck Conrad in the temple. The blade descended, loosening the jaw bone, cutting the jugular vein wide open and making a deep cut as lowdown as the fourth rib, Conrad was nervy, and, drawing a revolver,said to the crowd: “Boys, he has cut me all to pieces.” Befora he could fire he sank to the ground covered with blood, and almost instantly died, Campbell started to run, but was followed by a couple of young men named Grimes and Johnson, who overtook him* threw him to the ground, and tied him with ropes. Within an hour after tha murder ’Squire McDonald held a preliminary trial and bound Campbell over to the Circuit Court without bail. Campbell was taken to Newport in a carriage at 10 o’clock and placed In jail.

MILITIA CALLED OUT. 1 Battalion of Troops Sent to tiie Scene of Trouble at Buffalo. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 16.-1:50 a, m.— The first battalion of the Sixty-fifth regiment left at 1 o’clock for the Cheektowega freight yards to guard the property of the Lehigh Valley and the Erie roads. They will be followed in the morning by the second battalion and both battalions of the Seventy-fourth regiment. At 3 o’clock this morning the strikers were still in secret session at Gammel’s Hall, hub it was learned that no more strikes were ordered at this meeting. At a late hour last night Sheriff Beck was notified by the officials of the New York Central and West Shora roads that they would expect him to protect their property In the event of a strike on their lines. There Is not the slightest doubt in the minds of those posted In railroad matters but that the New Y’ork Central and West Shore switchmen at this point will quit work unless the difficulty between the men now on a strike and their employes is adjusted.

Inferior Arms of Our Soldiers. The question of arms ir a live ono ift Europe, where fighting may be expected any time; but we, the very warlike and extremely unmilitary sovereign people of the United States, can afford to view it with indifference. We know that we have millions of fighting men ready to spring to arms at their country’s call. The arms they would spring to may not be of the best, but the men are splendid. We have Springfield rifles for a few thousand of Ac millions and have provided by the law of the land, in force in the year of grace, 1889, that each man of all the rest shall have a good musket or firelock, two spare flints, a sufficient bayonet,” and other warlike gear, except in the case I of officers, each of whom must have “a | spontoon and a sword or hanger,” as 1 he may elect. Our criterion of militai ry excellence is very different from that of Europe. There it is the capability of men to get into oosition to shoot, and to shoot straight and quick; here it is the prettiness with which soldiers, under police escort, can march up the main street of a great town. We consider it the part of wisdom to prep ire for more peace in time of peace, but should a foreign foe suddenly attack us, the pulse of the patriot would thrill at the spectacle presented by our armies springing to their arms and marching down Broadway under the protection of the Broadway Squad —each man of the rank and the bravely bearing along his , re nek his two cpat'U UliiUi 8iQU S fel, *i CitdCli J&>y \j ll’bt, and every officer gallantly brandishing his hanger and flourishing his spontoon, while the cowering and cowardly enemy were pitching two thousand pounder shell among them from a safe position off Coney Island.— Lieutenant. W. W. Kimball, in Scribner’s Magazine. Darker Than Samson’s Kiddle. A careful analysis of the sense of humor would doubtless show it to be more complex and intricate in its organism and functions than a shoestring pulled out the wrong way in the dark, which is impossible. For example, a Philadelphia girl is now in jail—just for the fun of the thing, we presume—because she bought a great lot of the underwear and other raiment for herself and had the articles charged to a minister of the Gospel, who is a stranger to the young lady, “for the jokp it would be on the minister’s son.” The Inter State Railway Commission is wrestling with the “joke” just new, and after it gets through with it the Civil Service Commission, which has. had wide experience in vague and vexations intangibilities, will take hold of it, after which it will be thrown open for competitive examination by the general public. Whatever the ‘joke,” is she must be a rustler, for nobody has guessed within a'column of it yet.— | Robert J. Burdette, in Brooklyn Eagle.

ABUS' WASP. Amount of Work Performed by an Industrious Insect; There is a circular flower bed in city hall park situated directly beneath a big button-wood tree on the Broadway side. The attention of passers-by was recently attracted by the actions of a big black “sand” or “dirt” wasp. The wasp was digging a hole in the ground beneath a broad leaf. The hole was evidently intends I for a nest. After having selected the site for his future abode and egg repository the wasp commenced operations by removing small quantities of earth with his jaws. The earth the wasp carried away and hid in the grass about four feet away. The wasp worked very rapidly, and in a surprisingly short time had burrowed out quite a hole. During these brief operations the insect, in order to give the hole perfect shape, kept his body continuously moving round and round and continuously ducking his head in and out. In the meantime he kept his wings moving with a jerky, angry motion. The hole thus made was about three-eighths of an inch in diameter. After working in this industrious manner for nearly half an hour the wasp had burrowed out quite a deep hole. Hi:: work seemed lighter when he gnt sow distance- he>c *hasurface, for he fairly forced the dirt up out of the hole in a tiny stream. In a short time the wasp left the hole and took away the little pile of loose sand from the mouth of the hole. In one of his journeys he ran aci’oss a small shaving. He turned it over and over repeatedly, and after satisfying himself, apparently, that it would suit his purpose, he seized it in his jaws and carried it to the mouth of the hole. He carefully placed the little shaving over the hole. Then he piled a little mound of sand upon the chip. Later in the day the same wasp seized a worm and dragged it to the den he had built In the morning. When the hole was reached the wasp relinquished his prey for a moment, removed the shaving from the mouth of his den, and then sprang into the hole. In a few moments he came back and again seized the squirming worm, which was slowly crawling away. Walking backward, the wasp dragged the worm into the hole. He soon reappeared and immediately began shoveling sand and little pebbles down upon las capture. He then replaced the door again, covered it with sand, took to his wings, and flew away. — N. Y.

A REIGN OF TERROR. 1 Inaugurated In Buffalo By thd Striking SwitchmenBuildings and Cara Set on Fire—Many Now Men Assaulted, and a Train Derailed. The switchmen in the Erie & Lehigh Valley at Buffalo went out on a strike Friday. Dispatches from Buffalo on the 15th say: There had been more or less trouble Saturday between the strikers and their sympathizers and the men who were doing the strikers’ work and a few desultry assaults had occurred. Things began to put on a more serious aspect at 2 o’clock Sunday morning, when a serious of incendiary fires broke out simultaneously in the Lehigh Valley yards. Eighteen or twenty freight cars filled with wool, cotton, hay and various other merchandise two passenger coaches and two watchman's houses were burned. The fires occurred at places where the firemen could not successfully stay the flames on ac count of an absence of water besides the difficulty of access to the fires. The water tank adjacent to the coal trestles was smashed and an engine that was taking water there wrecked by a string of ten runaway cars that had been turned loose from the trestle. Fire was first discovered in the eastbound yards east of Dingens street. Here a little office building and two or three freight cars were destroyed. At this time Yard-Master Mead discovered flames in two passenger coaches used for the conveyance of workmen, and turned in an alarm from William and Dingens streets. In the yards east of Dingens street fire raged among the cars of merchandise. It took the hose from three carts to reach the flames from the nearest hydrant. The firemen, however, prevented the destruction of a great number of cars, and the loss of perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. The cars destroyed were in the midst of a great number of other cars. The firemen uncoupled a number of cars and removed them from danger. A dozen or so of cars were thrown from the Lehigh tracks through a misplaced switch. The first intimation of anything wrong was when the coal cars were set loose and demolished the water tank. Then the fires broke out simultaneously. That, briefly, was what happened up te daylight Sunday morning. But that was only the beginning. The strikers, or their sympathizers, have pulled pins, turned switches and driven off crews. Three men are at the hospital badly hurt. One was assaulted at 3 o’clock Sunday morning, two others at 11 and another at 3 ih the afternoon.

FAITHFUL TO THE LAST. Affecting Story of a Little Newsboy Who Lost $!0, A business man of Detroit, whose office is on Woodward avenue, relates this singular experience in the Free Press: “I wanted a $10 bill changed, and as I was alone I stepped to the door and called a little newsboy whom I had frequently employed to run on errands, and told him to carry it to the nearest stpre and get it changed. I then went inside and waited. My pai’tner came in and ridiculed me for what I had done. “You will never see the boy or the change again,” he said. “I must say his prophecy looked possible when as hours went by the boy did not return; still I trusted him. I could easier believe that he had been run over or made away with than that he had stolen the money. “I did not change my mind when a week had passed. I did not know where he lived or who his associates were, and no newsboy seemed to be missing. The second week was nearly gone, when a woman came into my office one day. She was crying. “ ‘Are you Mr. ?’ she asked. J ‘ T am, madam. What can I do for you?’ “Then she told me that her little boy was dying; that he had been ill nearly two weeks, and kept constantly calling my name. I went with her and found my missing newsboy. As soon as he saw me he began to rave. “ ‘I lost it! I lost it!’ was the burden of his cry, but I alone knew what he referred to. He had lost the $10 note, and it had preyed on his mind, causing brain fever. He died in my arms, unconscious that I had trusted him from the very first, and that I would have done anything to save his life. I have not a doubt that he either lost it or had it snatched from him, and his sensitive nature kept him from telling the truth, and he gave his life up in the struggle. ” _ ,;i ;

The man who was assaulted at the Western, New York & Pennsylvania crossing was on his way lor the wreck &; the time and was turning a switch. The striker-shad turned switches and thrown six cars from his train before that. He was struck on the head. When taken to the hospital he was completely dazed and did not know what had occurred. One of the men was assaulted at the passenger station and two at William street. One of the most cowardly things dona was the throwing of switches under passenger train No. 17 at William street at 7:30 o’clockSunday night. Two passenger coaches were thrown from the track, but the conductor does not think anybody was hurt, though many were badly frightenedFifty men boarded passenger train No. 3 at’ll o’clock In the morning and molested tire employes, driving them. off. , The crew finally succeeded in getting the train to the station. Then the mob took pos J session of the Serum switches three ot four times during the day and drove oil the signal men. Three stalwart policemen were stationed at the landing and in the hallway leading to the offices of Superintendent Brunn 1 and his associates.

Adulteration of Coffee, So extensiveds adulteration of coffee It is not easy to obtain the pure article, even, although the highest price be paid. The substances commonly used in adulteration are chicory, roasted grams, peas or beans. The principal element of roasted chicory is sugar; it is useful in coloring the decoction, but adds nothing to its virtues. As for the other .substances, although they may be harmless, considering their use from an economic point of view, nothing is made by buying coffee which contains them, even if the price of the mixture be much under that demanded for the pure article. This is evident when it is known that not infrequently what passes for low price coffee contains at least sixty per cent adulteration. In buying coffee the pure is actually the cheapest. And in the matter of adulteration of this important article of food there is a weighty consideration beyond that of economy. The more good, pure coffee there is obtainable the less will be the demand for spirituous liquors, for even the veriest toper will often choose the former In preference to the latter,—Boston Herald.

Dan. Webster’s Great Effort* A good story is told of Daniel Webster regarding a speech lie was goingto make. On one occasion some Boston friends and admirers sent him, as a present, an enormous plow, to be be used on his place. Webster gave out word that on a certain day it would be christened. The day arrived and the surrounding farmers for miles came in to witness the event. A dozen teams with aristocratic occupants from Bo* ■ ton came down to the christening. It was expected by everyone that Webster would make a great speech on the occasion, reviewing the history of fanning back to the time when Gincinnatus abdicated the most mighty throne in the world to cultivate beans and peas in a Roman garden. The plow was brought out and ten yoke of oxen hitched in front. More than 200 people stood sround on the tiptoe of expectation. Soon Webster made his appearance. He had been calling spirits from the vasty deep, and his gait was somewhat uncertain. Seizing the plow handle and spreading his feet, he called out to the driver in his deep bass voice: “Are you all ready, Mr. Wright?” “All ready, Mr. Webster,” was the <*eply, meaning that all was ready for the speech. Webster straightened himself up by mighty effort and shouted: “Then let her rip!” The crowd roared with laughter, while the great statesman, with his big plow, proceeded to rip up the soil in huge furrows. Don’t be Careless, Not only should careless statements regarding our neighbors be ignored, but facts themselves, should be often subdued in the interest of right-think-ing and fairness to our fellows.

The Writing Teleplouo. A company is being formed in St, Louis, to introduce the writing telephone machines. It is proposed to operate them on the telephone system, having a central office connecting with all private or public instruments. If a business man wants to hold a conversation with a custom n-or friend-, he pulls a little lever, which rings a bell at the central office. He Uion, writes down on his plate the nun -,.u %'i6 desires, the connection is made ana he proceeds to write down his message, which is immediately reproduced in the same handwriting at the other end. If tho party the message is addressed to is in he answers in the sama way, and the conversation can bo carried on imlefnitely. The questions and answers being all in writing, they can be filed away for future reference. When tho party called up is not in the message is ready for him on his return to tho office. By the use of this machine a man in New York cun affix to a check, say in Washington, his own signature. —Ex. Not an Export. We weren’t there, but we never had reason to doubt ‘he veracity of the gentleman who informs us that Senator Sawyer the .other day witnessed for the first time in his life a game of base ball by professional:.-. At one point in the game the man at the bat knocked the ball away over the beads of the outfielders, and the crowd cheered until Senator Sawyer felt the warmth of enthusiasm rising in his own bosom. “That’s too bad.” he finally said to the gentleman beside him. “What’s too bad?” “Why, it’s too bad they didn’t have a man there to catch that ball. By George!” said the Senator, warmly, “if I were permanent manager of that club I’d put three more ?pen out there in the field if it cost $2,600 t year.” Washington Post.

The operations which were begun two months ago to determine the value of the mineral deposits, more particularly the silver bearing ores among the hills of Croy’s creek, in Clay county, are still being followed up. The interested parties secured the assistance of a practical miner, who has had experience in Colorado, and two shafts have been sunk at a depth of twenty feet or more. Numerous specimens have been secured, pointing to rich “leads,” and the work is being pursued with very hopefultindications. A box of specimens has been shipped to the department of chemistry and minerology at Washington, with the request that the result of the assay remain a secret for the present. Thirty years ago silver bearing ore was discovered in that section,but the outbreak of tho war stopped development. Recently land has increased enormously in value under the sunposition that silver will be found, and ground formerlv offered at $20 per acre can not be purchased now at any price. Thursday night, at Eugene, Vermillion county, Indiana, the saloon building of H. D. Sprague was fired by incendiaries, and the city marshal, Abraham Conrad, was murdered by a farmer living near Georgetown, 111., named James A. Campbell. Eugene has always been a liquor town, and was run “wide open.” The citizens became disgusted at the way things were going, and, for the purpose of maintaining better order, two months ago incorporated the town and elected. Abraham Conrad marshal. The strict enforcement of the laws under the new administration did not meet the approval of the Illinois toughs, who crossed the line and made Rome howl at Eugene. Campbell and a friend went to Eugene with the avowed purpose of “doing up” the authorities. About 9 o’clock fire was dis covered in an empty building on Main street. A crowd soon collected and all
