Twenty-two years ago John McQuown lived with his wife and six children in Jefferson Township, Boone County, but in August, 1807, he suddenly disappeared, and no tidings of him were ever received. Some years later Mrs. McQuown, suppos ing herself a widow, re-married, but her second husband lived but two years, and she was again left alone. Last week Mr. McQuown as suddenly and un ceremoniously as marked his disappearance, returned to his home, but not, however, to claim his wife. Instead he demanded possession of the farm, and they are now living in the same house without resuming marital relations, and with no prospect of compromising their differences.

The finest barn in Knox county was burned Saturday night. It was owned by Lee Buck, a wealthy farmer and stock dealer, near Bruceville. The loss will amount to over $25,000.

Mr. Buck is one of the wealthiest men of Knox county, and was well equipped for agricultural pursuits. He held insurance as follows: On building $3,500, in Connecticut on grain $2,500, in the Fire Association of Philadelphia, and $2,500 in the Phoenix of Brooklyn. The cause of the fire is a mystery, but it is believed to bs the work of an incendiary.

EUROPEAN JEALOUSY.
It liecomeB More Apparent as the Objects oC the Ail-American Congress Are Discussed.
The effort which is being made by the Washington government to establish more intimate commercial relations between the United States and the states of South America has awakened on this side of the Atlantic a new interest in the latter countries, says a London dispatch of Tuesday, This interest is born partly of a half defined fear that the efforts of the United States will be successful, and that some of the trade which Europe has built up with these states will be diverted to North America, and partly of an anxiety to watch for any new developments which may point to an augmentation of trade. While most of the English newspapers affect to ridicule the possibility of any combination between North and South America, they agree that it is necessary, for Europe to bestir herself aud look sharply after what she considers ncr own.
The total yearly foreign trade of South America is estimated at$700,000,000, barely one-fifth of which is done with the United States. It is urged that this condition of affairs is maintained, not so much on account of the tariff and navigation laws of the United States, which, no doubt, have their effect, as from the absence of Ur.ited States ocapital in South America. The enormous amount of European capital is pointed to, and also the fact that Europe has furnished in the last thirty years near ly 2,000,000 settlers in various parts of the country. Despite that most of these set tiers come from other countries than the British Isles, English capital, English trade and English shipping are supreme in South America, and it is shown that financially and commercially England has an immense stake there. Thus, while it is insisted upon that the United States has no possible chance of forming an exclusive customs union with South America, the English are somewhat jealous and extremely watchful of the outcome of the Pan-American
Congress. Every move
ment of the congress thus far has been re ported here, and when it resumes its session the English papers will contain full accounts from special correspondents of its deliberations.

PERISHED IN A BLIZZARD.
Tlire Cowboys Fnw to Death While Guarding Cattle in New Mi xico.
One of the results of the terrible bliz zards which swept over eastern Coloradi aud northern New Mexico, Thursday and Friday of last week, reached Denver,Tues day, from Folsom, N. M. Thursday niglil Henry Miller, the range foreman for Col R. G. Head, with several cowboys, wen camped near Sierra Grande, with 1,S0( beef cattle, which they were holding for the purpose of loading in cars. At 4 o'clock that morning a blizzard from the northwest struck the herd, driving the cattle toward the Texas Panhandle, the cowboys being unable to hold them. The snow wasso blinding that it made it impossible tc see fifty feet ahead. Miller called his mei. 1 together, and they started to follow the herd and made an attempt to keep them bunched so far as possible. The men be came separated. Friday night one ol them wandered into Head's home ranch. I half dead with cold and hunger*. He told his story, aud a rescuing party was sent out. and at noon the frozen bodies of Henry Miller, Joe Martin and Charlie Jolly were found lying on the open plains not far from Folsom. The other .men succeeded in finding their way into camp before being overcome with cold. Miller had been foreman for Colonel Head for twelve years, and came from Louisiana. It is not known where Martin and Jolly are from.

A WAR OF EXTERMINATION.
Tim Hatlield-McCoy F*ul—Wagon-Loads of Rifles and Kevolvers for the Participants.
Another bloody chapter was added to the story of the Hatfield-McCoy vendetta last night by a skirmish, in which Mrs. James Brown was killed and John Blumfield wounded by a detachment of tue McCoy party in ambush The feud has now as-* sumed the aspect of a war of extermination, nd the battle which has been brewing for* forty-eight hours may begin at any moment. The only thing that has kept the Hatfields from attacking the McCoys was the strong force and intrenched position of the latter, but the situation is now entirely changed. The Blumfield family, stung to frenzy by the wanton butchery of Al Blumfield and his wife, have decided to join the Hatfields in an attempt to exterminate the McCoys. This will give the Hatfield leaders at least 250 armed men. Yesterday John Blumfield, Charles Blumfield and George Hatfield, all of them cousins of the murdered pair, went to Huntington and recruited about a dozen of their relatives who work there in the Cincinnati & Ohio railroad shops. They then purchased all the rifles and revolvers they could find in the place, securing in all about 100 repeaters of recent model and nearly 130 revolvers. They also bought several thousand cartridges. This supply of war material was loaded upon ten wagons, and they were driven south toward the scene of the Lincoln county feud, surrounded by a guard of fifteen desperate inen, armed to the teeth. No attempt was made to stop them, as the county authorities are powerless.
The cavalcade was attacked at Fudge's creelt. near the Guyandotte river, last night, by a party of McCoy's friends in ambush near the farm house of Mrs. James Brown,'who was a Hatfield before she •was Married. The Hatfields had stopped lor.supper, and were eating, when a voile/ was pour«d through the windows.
The Hatfields were taken by surprise, bul seized their rifles and returned the fire. It was pitch dark, and it is not known if any of the McCoys were hurt, as the Hatfields were afraid to search in the underbrush. When Blumfield's men returned to the house, Mrs. Brown lay dead upon the floor, with a bullet through her neck, and John Blumfield, the leader of the party, was found to be wounded, but it is impossible to learn how seriously.
This last affair has stirred up feeling there to the highest pitch, and it has been determined to call on the Governor for troops. Every one recognizes, however, that the regular militia can do little, for they will be ignorant of the country and its thousands of hiding places, and wouid be shot down from ambush. There is some talk of organizing a company of State rangers on the Texas plan, but 110 one can be found to assume the leadership. No reports from the scene of the Blumfield funeral have been received.
A dispatch from Wheeling denies the accurateness of the above story, and sa there has been no trouble since hist Thursday night, when McCoy and Hale,} Vvere lynched.
A DISPATCH FROM STANLEY.
Hotv the Explorer Ilescued I?iscoveries Made 011 the Homev.-jwd larcli.
IMr. Mackinnin, the head of the Emm
relief
committee, has received a di ipatch from Henry M. Stanley, the explorer, which says: "I reached the Albert Nyanza from Ranalya for the third time, in 1-10 days, lid found out that Emin and Jephson had both been prisoners since the 18th of August 18SS, being the day after I made the discovery that Barttelot's caravan had been wrecked. The troops in the equatorial province had revolted, and shaken off all allegiance. Shortly after the Mahdist invaded the province in full force. After the first battle in May the stations yielded) and a panic struck the natives, who joined the invaders and assisted in the work of destruction. The invnders subsequently suffered reverses,and dispatched a steamer to Khartoum for reinforcements. I found a letter waiting for me near the Albert Nyanza, exposing the dangerous position of the survivors, and urging the iuunediye necessity of my arrival before the end •of December, as otherwise it would ae too late. I arrived there on the l^th of .i unary, 1'nr the third time. From the 14th ol. February to the 8th of May 1 waited I01: tne fugitives, ami then lelc the Albert- r.yan/a homeward bound.

THE MONTANA CONTEST.
The JRcpuhlioaiis C»i*ry the legislator-: by a Majority of Six.
The Montana State Canvassing Board met Monday and finished the canvass of the State vote. Silver Bow county was counted as canvassed by its uoard, thus electing the entire Republican ticket, except Toole for Governor. The Supreme Court and six out of eight district judges are Republican. The Senate is a tie, with a Republican Lieutenant Governor to give the casting vote. The Republican majority in the House is six.
