HORSES AND HORSEMEN.

Monroe Salisbury will campaign no more 2-year-olds, it is said. The late John A. Goldsmith's estate is valued at from $300,000 to $500,000.

Robert won 49 out of 71 and John R. Gentry 35 out of 68 during the seasons of 1894 and 1895.

Secretary of Agriculture Morton's advice to horse breeders to look to Europe for a market is being followed.

A statistician figures out that during the seasons of 1894 and 1895 Joe Patchen took part in 101 heats, of which he won 64.

In 1895 the decrease in the receipts of the Couey Island Jockey club was $368,968.12 and of the Brooklyn club $291,973.44.

During eight months of 1895 horses valued at $2,947,000 wore exported to England alone, the average price per head being $130.

It is reported that there is a strong probability of Carnage, another Musket stallion, coining to America to make a season or two in the stud.

Auraria, a 3-year-old mare, with 103 pounds up, and 50 to 1 against her in the betting, won the Melbourne cup in Australia not long ago.

C. J. & H. Hamlin have let the contract for the construction of the most approved horse car ever built, and the Village farm horses will be shipped in it from town to town.

The Vermont association of road and trotting horse breeders has decided to offer prizes amounting to $500 for an exhibition of high grade harness horses at its next annual meeting.

There are 30 thoroughbred stallions within seven miles of Gallatin, Tenn. Among these are an English Derby winner, two Brooklyn Handicap winners and another horse that ran second in the Brooklyn.—Horseman.

WHAT IS WAR?

War is impulsiveness. (It is also regret.) War is bravery. (It is also the most indescribable savagery.)

War is a glorious privilege. (It is also a lasting and bitter sorrow.) War is the spirit of patriotic song. (It is also the sighing away of the young life, alone, beneath stars.)

War is the exuberant thrill of national pride. (It is also the solemn and serious problem of the taxpayer.)

War is the defiant tramp of pomp and pageantry. (It is also the rumbling of the dead wagon at midnight.)

War is the wild glamor of a boyish dream. (It is also a sea of desolation whose shores are lined with shattered hopes.)

War is the mother's pride at the manly march of the beardless youth. (It is also the laying of a wreath upon the untimely grave.)

War is something we all like to talk about. (It is something no experienced man wants to see, if it can be honorably avoided.)

War is the brilliant deed that plants the banner upon the frowning parapet. (It is also the tolling of tho bell in the quiet churchyard.)

War is the grand parade beneath the flag consecrated 1' the blood of a million heroes. (It is rlso the wily picket shot, the volley, tho chargo, the roar of conflict and tho desperate hand to hand death struggle.)—Cioveland Plain Dealer.

CUBA AND SPAIN.

The Spani ih army shares with the American pugilist a disposition to exhaust all its energies in side remarks.—Washington Star. "On to Havana!" is now the rebel cry in Cuba, and yet Campos promised to give the queen regent a conquered island as a Christmas present.—Boston Journal.

Even if the Cubans are lying their claims seem to have driven Campos into Havana. For a campaign of mere claims this seems to be quite a feat for the revolutionists.—Philadelphia Press.

Spain's idea of trading off defeat in Cuba for Gibraltar and a British alliance will hardly suit the Cubans when they win their victory. After shaking off the grip of Spain they will submit to no more rule from Europe.—St. Louis Globe-Dem-ocrat.

It is said that General Gomez is marching upon Havana. If he takes that city, the hour of Spanish supremacy will end in the island of Cuba. The palsied fingers of Spain seem to be gradually loosening their grip upon her last dominion in the new world.—Boston Globe.

JEWELRY CONCEITS.

Gold and jeweled chains for muffs and lorgnettes are much in evidence. Some of the new silver watches have a flower in colored enamel on the back of the case.

Very popular are seven stone rings in which diamonds alternate With rubies, sapphires, emeralds, pearls or turquoise.

There is a large assortment of intaglio rings for men, including antiques and reproductions in gold, with appropriate settings.

Seal rings for ladies employ onyx, bloodstone or jasper and are cut with crest, coat of arms or monogram, as the exigencies of the case reaulro..

Deafness Cannot .Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or, imperfect* hearing, and when i^ is'entirely •closed, Deafness is the result, 'and unlass the ioflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal cotdition, hearing will be destroyed'forever "nine cases out of ten are caused jby^catarrh, which is nothing but an«inflamedJcondit}on of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Care Send for circulars free.

ENGLAND DENIES IT.

Her Gunboats Not Coming Into American Waters.

NEITHER TO CUBA NOR BERMUDA

Still the Destination of the Flying Squadron Is Kept a Profound Secret—Southern Militia Hot Called Out by Our War l)erartment—Jfo War With Great Britain

Just JY«-t. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—A dispatch to The World from London says whatever may be the sensational reports in America about the destination of the flying squadron, they are the merest conjecture. Not even the admiral will know his destination until lie opens his instructions when putting finally to sea. The wild reports apparently current in America and cabled back here of its sailing point being Bermuda, or having reference to either Venezuela or Cuba, are denounced by the authorities here as most mischievous fabrications. Such a step on the part of the British admiralty, it is fully recognized, would be tantamount to an act of hostility to the United States.

No authority here can understand what is meant by the cabled report that Great Britain has made a demand on Spain for the revenues of Cuba to pay the outstanding claims of investor in Spanish bonds. Doubtless there are such investors in England, but the wildest imaginings could not conceive of the British government intervening by such a method to enforce the payment of the debt to British subjects. That again would mean war with the United States if not with the whole civilized world.

The flying squadron doubtless has fulfilled its mission in serving notice on the world that Great Britain is in complete readiness to meet any emergency. It may not sail 100 miles beyond these shores.

MILITIA NOT CALLED OUT.

The War Department Denies the Sensational Dispatches From Florida. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—A flat denial is given at the war department to the report from Florida that the department has requested the governor of the state to put Florida troops in readiness to take the field at a moment's notice.

In the first place it is said the president has no constitutional or lawful authority to make such a request, and in the next place, there is no emergency that would justify the calling out of the 1,200 men who make up the Florida militia.

BATTLE WITH MACEO.

Thirty Insurgents Killed, Among Tliein Being the Leader Bermudez. HAVANA, Jan. 21.—A battle of importance is reported to have occurred at Fairones, only five miles south of Pinar del Rio. The column of troops commanded by Major Sanchez, numbering 360, was attacked by 2,000 insurgents under Maceo. Lieutenant Colonel San Martin, at the head of 300, came to the assistance of Major Sanchez and a fierce combat was precipitated. The official account received says that the insurgents were forced to retreat, leaving 30 killed behind and carrying off 300 wounded. Among the latter is alleged to have been the leader Bermudez.

It is known that Maximo Gomez and his force were yesterday afternoon at San Jose de Las Lajas, about the center of Havana province. So that it is evident that he has made another of his characteristic countermarches. This is said to have been made in consequence of the engagement between Colonel Molina and the bands of Nunez and others.

At Suprise, eight insurgents were killed and one was made prisoner by troops. The rest of the band dispersed.

TREE FELL ON A SLED.

One Person Killed, Three Fatally Injured and Two Badly Hurt. GREENSBURG, Pa.. Jan. 21.—Daniel Sheets, a prominent farmer living near Jones' Mills, was instantly killed, his two little children, aged 5 and 7 years, and Harry Baker, a neighbor, were fatally hurt John Rhodes seriously injured, and Mrs. Sheets badly bruised in an accident on Chestnut ridge last night.

The party were returning home from church in a sled. While ascending the Laurell hill a large tree fell across the sled in which they were sitting. A prong of the tree passed entirely through Mr. Sheets. The children were crushed in a terrible manner, and Baker had his back broken. Baker and the children will not recover. Rhodes was badly hurt, but there are chances for his life. Mrs. Sheets escaped serious injury.

General Thomas Kwing Hurt. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—General Thomas Ewing, formerly of Columbus, O., was struck by a cablecar on the Third avenue line yesterday and badly bruised. It was at first thought that the general, who is about 70 years of age, had sustained internal injuries, but an examination at his home satified his physicians that he will be able to be out in two or three days.

Shoe Establishment Closed.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 21.—The Pittsburg branch of Smith & Stoughton's shoe establishment was closed at 4 p. m. yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Harris on two foreign attachments. One was for §00,000 from the Eagle bank of Boston, the other for $8,000 by the Third National bank of Boston.

Death of Oscar B. Burchard. DENVER, Jan. 21.—Oscar B. Burchard, a real estate dealer in Denver since 1882, is dead. Mr. Burchard was at one time professor of ancient languages in the normal college at Fredonia. He founded the New York State Educational Journal and was a well known magazine writer. He was 62 years old.

ALASKAN MINES ARE OURS.

The

British Government Docs Nut Own Any of tl)e Gold Districts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The rich gold discoveries of Forty Mile creek in Alaska belong to the United States and not to Great Britain. The 141st meridian of longitude has been accurately determined by an employe of the British government, and accurately marked at certain places.

General Duffield, the chief of the coast survey, says it shows that but 16 miles of the creek as the bird flies and but 23 miles as the water flows is in British territory, and that in this portion no gold has been discovered. All the remaining portion of the creek and that in which gold has been discovered is in Alaska and belongs, therefore, to the United States. A bill has been introduced in congress providing for the appointment of commissioners to fix the boundary, but it has not yet been acted upon.

A MINISTER ASSASSINATED.

Hideous Crime Attributed to One of His Church Members. LOUISVILLE, Jan. 21.—A special to The Courier-Journal from Toomsboro, Ga., says: News has just been received here of the mysterious assassination of the Rev. Warren Powers, a well known country preacher, near Hall's station, this county. Powers was called to his door and shot, falling dead in the arms of his wife.

The suspicions of the officers here have been directed to a man named Dixon, a member of Powers' congregation, and he is under arrest. It is said that last Sunday Mr. Powers preached a strong sermon against the marital infelicities of some of the community, and Dixon took the sermon as applying to him.

Five Children Drowned.

OTTAWA, O., Jan. 21.—Almost the entire population of Cuba, a village in the western part of Putnam county, are engaged dragging Blancliard river for the bodies of five children, a girl ind four boys, drowned Sunday afternoon. Three children of John Shuuian and two children of George Foremas of Cuba were playing on the ice, when it broke, and four of the children disappeared. The oldest, a boy of 16, attempted to rescue the girl, and was drowned also,

Found Ericf--c"n's Body at Last. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21.—Workmen searching the ruins of the Excelsior Wire and Iron company for the remains of Charles Erickson, came upon his body yesterday afternoon. He was standing upright against the north wall pinioned down by an elevator drum. He was burned beyond recognition and his skull was crushed in. Deceased was killed in the explosion of fireworks several weeks ago. Pie is the seventh victim of the disaster recovered.

Brazil Gets Back at Great Britain. BUENOS AYRES, Jan. 21.—A dispatch to La Preusa from Rio Janeiro says that Senhor Carlos Carvalho, minister of foreign affairs, is preparing a note demanding the immediate restitution of the island of Trinidad, which has been occupied by Great Britain. It is stated that a refusal on the part of Great Britain to restore Trinidad to Brazil will lead to a rupture of diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Brazil.

Will Sue For Life Insurance. DELAWARE, O., Jan. 21.—A short while ago General James Strickler of this city was killed in an accident on the Columbus, Sandusky and Hocking railroad. He had purchased a 25-cent accident policy the same day from the Interstate Casualty company of New York, allowing a death claim of $3,000. The company now tries to ignore the claim, and General Strickler's relatives bring suit to recover the money.

Thirteen Round*.

MASPETH, L. I., Jan. 21.—Joe Clioynski knocked out Jim Hall in the 13th round. When Referee Hurst counted Hall out and declared Clioynski the winner, Joe ran over and tried to help his beaten adversary to his feet. Hall was unable to rise and had to be carried to his corner. His seconds worked over him for 10 minutes and then led him to his dressing room. He had to be helped from the ringside.

Brakeman's Neck Broken.

BELLAIRE, O., Jan. 21. William Weaver, aged 25, brakeman on the Cleveland and Marietta railway, accidentally fell from a boxcar yesterday at Macksburg, O., breaking his neck, killing him instantly.
