Kingston, Ont, May 20. Fifty miles oat from here the Kingston Reception Committee met the train and returned here with the party. As the train slowed up at the station on the place D' Armes, it was seen that a large crowd was assembled. As Mr. O'Brien stepped ont of the car, he was in the mach talked of, Kingston, the "Deny of Canada" as it is called. Kingston has a population of 15,000, of which 5,000 are Catholics. There are only eight policemen, end all of them, in command of Chief Horsey, were in waiting. To the surprise of Mr. O'Brien and rest of the party, not a" dissenting voice was heard in the storm of cheers which arose as Mr. O'Brien entered the carriage. The party were driven to the Burnett House, where a crowd assembled and cheered the editor. Battery "A" of the Dominion Regular Artillery Corns, and the Trince of Wales' Own Hides were held in their armories far emergencies, besides a large number of special constables and the ordinary police force, arrived at the skating rink where the meeting was held; crowds, all O'Brien sympathizers, were found gatnered around the building and along the sidewalk. Policemen, armed with revolvers, moved np and down and forbade any body to block the entrance to the hall. The street, for all the world like Biy street, Toronto, where the attack on O'Brien was made, was worse, because, in addition to broken Etones, bricks were scattered over the surface where new bulldines were being erected. The audience numbered about 1,200, and was very similar to that of the Ulster tenant farmers, whose custom it is to listen rather than applaud. Mr. O'Brien, in his opening remarks, won at once the Ulster protestants, who were listening, and who form a large section of the population, when he asserted that the Orange fanners in the North of Ireland were as much oppressed as the Catholic farmers, and that Lord Lansdowne was championing the cause of those despotic landlords who were causing this oppression. "My mission," he exclaimed, 4 is not to stir up strife, but to blend the orange and the green." This sentiment at once won over the descend en ts of the Ulster farmers, and they cheered heartily as anybody else, again when he said: "We will S3 humiliate Lord Lnnsdowne in expressing his murderous policy in Ireland as to make Orangemen as well as Nationalists at least believe that there is only one Lord, "He who rules above the cedars and the stars." Among other things Mr. O'Brien said : "I believe that the few misunderstandings which have arisen between the Protestant and Catholic Irishmen of Canada will scon pass away. Thank God, they are rapidly passing away and I could n itlelp thinking, when I heard to-day that Kingston was known as the "Berry of Cinada,'' that perhaps the name was th rune of a good omen appl me, for in the word3 of the old song, today Derry is oar on, boys cheers and the member for Derry, -Tuitin McCarthy, is one of the noblest I iih Nationalists living. Renewed applause. I am convinced that the time is . mint; fast when tne Protestant tenant farmers will admit, with grateful hearts, that all the security and happiness they r.j.'.y Js dae to the straggles of the National League in Ireland." Applaase. The unexpected and somewhat ominoa calm was now for trie first time broken. At f):D0 o'clock, when Dennis Kilbride bezin his statement, tbe first noise was heard outside the hall, where several hundred men and boys collected, crying: "God save the neen," and groaning for O'Brien. Every cheer which went ud inside the hall was answered by loud roar and an?ry response from without. The crowd outside was now swollen to immense proportions. The meeting was brought to an end by a few remarks from Chairman J. J. Iehan, who told the audience to go home peaceably. Then the people started to go out, Mr. O'Brien being in the rear. O'Brien's friends hurried him to the front. He stepped on the sidewalk wearing, as usual, a tall hat. The moment the Orangemen on the opposite side of the street saw him they raised savage yells and cries: "There he is," and rushed across the street. .Broken stones and cobble stones began flying like hail, and women screamed and general confusion reigned. "Oh, they're at it again," said O'Brien, in a tone of mournful regret more than anger. "Yes, ye3," roared the mob. "There he is; drag him out here on the street. Kill him, choke him, tear him asunder," and they almost burst through O'Brien's bodyguard, which consisted of American apecial correspondents and local officers of the National Leage. A man changed hats with Mr. O'Brien, as that worn by the latter furnished a target for the mob, and as the Dirty doubled into Wellington street another shower of bricks and stones came crashing through the crowd. Mr. O'Brien and his friends bent their heads, but received missiles on the body. C. F. Kellogg, the New York San correspondent, and J. M. Wall, the representative of the Associated Press, cauzht cp with Mr. O'Brien just on the stoop leading to the house of John Newman, a Protestant, on Med way street, between William and Johnston streets. The doors were opened, and a shower of missies again came across the street. The crowd sured. and Wall and Kellogg were flang to the ground, and O Enen disap peered evidently into Newman's house, but np to the present time nobody is certain of this, for no one really knows where he is. The door to Newman's house is barred lightly. Wall and Kel logg, with J. J. Behan, Thomas Illwaln and J. J. Con well, cf the Chicago News, rushed around through the vinegar works on Ontario street, for the purpose of getting into the house by the back entrance. The mob, however, intercepted them and they had to fly for their lives. The mob next rushed to the Burnett House thinking O'Brien was there shouting-, "To hell with home rule," "kill him." Although Mr. O'Brien was not there they fired TOlleys of stones at the windows, then groaned and yelled to their Heart a content. J. M. Wall, the wounded correspondent attempted to pass the front ot the hotel

on his way to the telegraph office, but hi? bandaged head attracted the attention of Orangemen, who went for him with a rash. He escaped down a side street, however, and took oil the bandages. The Canadian Freemao.the Iris-Catliollc organ, was wrecked. Two hours had tow elapsed since first the attack was made, and nobody knew where Mr. O'Brien was, but be was soon discovered. Peter Dewier, who lives on the corner of Wellington and William streets, stole down to Chief of Police Horsey and said O'Brien is safe with me," "Thank God" exclaimed the crowd. Chief Horsey, with Mayor Car3on and six policemen, then went to Devlin's house and brought back Mr. O'Brien to the Burnet House. "I will protect you now to the hotel," said Mayor Carson. "I will call out artillery." "You will?' exclaimed O'Brien, sarcastically. "I don't want your protection now. Sir, you saw a mob of demons. 500 strong, outside of that hall niirsting for my blood when I waj addressing a peaceable meeting and you didn't disperse them. Where was jour artillery then, sir? Lansdowne and Howland winked at the eflorta to murder me in Toronto, and now Lansdowne and you wink at the effort to murder me here. I am not going to give you the credit of the pretense of having protected my life, when you could hare, if you wished, but didn't7. The Mayor said no more. The policemen acted just the same as those at Toronto. In the early part of the evening they would not permit any O'Brienite to wait on the sidewalk outsid6 the hotel, and even said "move on" to the correspondents awaiting Mr. O'Brien's arrival, but the moment the Orangemen appeared on the opposite side of the street, many with clubs and sticks in their hands, there was no interference by the police. They were allowed to hiss and groan, until Mr. O'Brien cams out. When the latter did come out, the policemen, instead of making a circle around him, abandoned him, and left him to tha tender mercies of the yelling Orangemen, who dashed upon him. The policemen were the first to scatter when the stonehrowing commenced. At the Burnett House the crowd collected around O'Brien, congratulating him on his escape. He was scarcely able to stand on bis feet. His throat was full of oust, and his clothes bespattered. He said, "I will go through to tne end, boys, yet." One incident will show how the police acted. When Mr. O'Brien staggered in the alleyway after being struck on the neck with a stone, a policeman in the middle of the street paid to the rioter: "I saw you do that, I saw you," but he never attempted to arrest him and he was allowed to join his friends, who shouted in triumph '-He's a

done dog this time," meaning O Bnen. Mr. O Bnen and party will start to-mor row morning for Hamilton, where a meet ing will be held Monday. He win soend Band ay at Niagara Falls. SWEPT BY THE FLAMES. Almost the Kotlre Business Portion of a Michigan Town Destroyed. HorcHTOjT, May 20. The fire at Lite Linden is now under control. The flames were first noticed issuing from the second story cf Neuman it Trelease's general merchandise store. Everything was as dry a? tinder, and despite the heroic efforts of firemen and citizens the spread of the liana es was very ramd. In less than two hours after the first alarm the entire business portion of the town, from the starting point of the fire to the public school-house building, was in ashes. Every saloon but one, and every store, except that occupied by J?. W eber x. Co. as a meat market, was de stroyed. The loss is a terrible one to Lake Linden, and conservative judges place the pecuniary damage at $1,500,000. The in surance is probably not le3s than $750,000. No lives were lost, as far as known. The property of the Calu met v liecla Co.. escaped without damage. Both Houghton and Hancock's fire companies responded promptly to the call for assistance and did great woik. Nearly every family were turned out and report great loss of household goods and surplus clothing; the flames reaching out with such ramdity that householders quickly realized that their only safety was in instant flight. Dangerously Wounded. A cg VST a, Gi.. May 20. A man named Hoover, who has been going around the country urging the negroes to band to gether to demand higher wages, and telling tnera to apply tne toren n tue increase of wages was refused, after a harangue at Warrenton last night, was dangerously shot by a band, it is alleged, of armed men. It is believed that Hoover has been swindling the negroes, and was a victim of their wrath. There is no clew to tha perpetrators. It is doubtful if Hoover lives. Hs claims to be a Knight of Labor. Robbed of a Large Sunt of Money. Ciscikxati May 20. A special from Greenville, Ohio, says that a mysterious robbery took place there last night about 9 o'clock at the residence of John W. Spayd, a wealthy citizen. He was at home at the time. His wife was out riding. The thief got $17,000 in currency and gold. Both Mr. snd Mrs. Spayd are so much excited that they can give no statement of how the theft occurred. Valuable Horses Burned. Winchester, May 20. The barn on An derson Hiatt'a farm near this town was totally consumed by fire last night. Three valuable horses perished in the flimea. The tenant, Mr. Zimri Wright, lost all of his farming implements, on which there was no insurance. Consumption Cured. An old physician, retired from practica, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all Throat and Lung affections, also a positive and radical care for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his'suffering fellows.

TWO STAGE DEMISES.

Min 0$eri in New York ui WilM's Comedy Company Reach "finis." Fx!aar and Dily Left Alone as Rival Hungers in tks Same Field. The Rags for Comic Opsra Continues at Fever Heat in tha Metropolis. The Gossip of the Hour Talmage -Beard, the Fainter Snnday Opening of the Museum of Art. tSpccial Correspondence of the Sentlnel.1 New York, May 21. The obituary makers may as well proceed to record two important deaths which happened simultaneouslythe demise of Italian opera and the end of Wallack's Comedy Company. The latter may be safely said to have pasted away when it left its old home for shelter at Daily's. For two weeks it may linger on, painfully gasping for its last breath, but practically Wallact'a company is a reminiscence of the American drama. It is pitiful that its last lingering hours could not have been less painful. Its flickering efforts to exist out of its home must be mortifying tö its head, as it certainly is disappointing to all admirers of its brilliant career, and, in fact, to all lovers of the refined drama. The play chosen for the last representations, "The Romance of a Poor Young Man," was little removed from the melodramatic school, which was the final ruin of Wallick's. It belongs to a school whose decadence it marked ten years or more ago; and why it should have been revived, except to give Mr. Kyrle Bellew a better chance than he had at Wallack's, nobody present at the first presentation could divine. It is long, slow and dreary, and is without strong characters; it has only one strong situation, and that situation is hackneyed and not well led up to, nor happily explained subse quently. It was absolutely disgraceful to present old John Gilbert, one of the few actors who have lived more than fifty years on tbe stage without creating a suspicion that tbry "lag superfluous," in a part without sentiment, humor or pathos, and re quiring no ability whatever to present. Mr. Gilbert neither looked nor felt at home; and one who knew the genial old man in Wallack's could not but feel that be recognized the humiliation of the situa tion. Mr. W allack and his sons were no where to be seen, and that was a relief to thote who knew that their presence on such an occasion would be sadly commented upon. I have not the slightest doubt tbat Mr. Daly tendered his house to his rival manager in the truest feeling of professional kindness; that Mr. Wallack accepted its use for the closing fortnight of his disastrous season in the same amiable spirit in which he spoke recently at Mr. Daly's supper on the ICOlh night of "The Taming of tbe Shrew;" but, nevertheless. the public felt that the older company was dying in tbe home cf its younger and successful rival, and stayed away rather than behold the end. The opening house was small it was not half filled and the other performances since Monday night have been less numerously attended. The retirement of Mr. Wallack leaves Mr. A. M. Palmer and Mr. Daly the onlv rivals in New York theatrical manage ment. Mr. Abbey, at Wallack's, proposes in the fall to enter the same field and contend with them for supremacy; but for the present, Daly and Palmer are the only managers who can be regarded as distinctive rivals in the same field of comedy. At present they are pitted against each other in Boston for two weeks, and both companies are playing to full houses. After that they play for six weeks to rival houses in Chicago, with "Jim, the Penman" (once seen here) against "Taming of the Shrew." It will be a curious contest to watch, and will be watched with close attention by all interested in tbe drama. Mr. George Parsons Lathrop tells me tbat Mr. Palmer has determined to play "Elaine" again, and, probably, at Chicago when Daly puts on "The Shrew." Both are beautifully mounted, but well, "Elaine" is not by Shakespeare. It may turn out that Italian opera is not dead, but only sleeping; but, with the departure of Patti, it is believed that the Italian school of music has taken a long farewell, if not a final departure, from America. The short season given here a month ago was practically a mere spurt, and its success was due chiefly to the combination of Fatti and Scalchl in familiar operas. That season was financially successful; so successful, Indeed, as to tempt Mr. Abbey to announce two more per formances last week. Only one ot themwas given, and that was at a loss. The causes of the failure were many, but the chief one was that many of those who attend the opera for fashionable reasons had left the city, or had stored their opera costumes in safety vaults a simple but potent obstacle to even Pattl's success. And so with the only great soprano's departure Italian opera died, or went into protracted insensibility. Meantime, the rage for comic opera in English is at its height here. Colonel McCaull is filling, with the "Black Hazzar," the theater to which Wallack, even with the old comedies, could not lure the public At the-Standard Theater Mr. DuiF has been so greatly successful with "A Trip to Africa," with handsome Lillian Russell and beautiful Madeline Lucelle in the cast, that he has announced his intention of devoting the Standard's stage wholly to comic opera. At the Star a new venture called "The Pyramids," by new authors, is in the popular comic opera vein, and, without possessing any musical merit or indicating any literary talent on the part of the librettest, seems to have met with some measure of success. And, finally, at the Casino they are playing "Erminie," the worst of all operas produced there, now in the thirteenth month of its run, to audiences which crowd every part ot the house. Vale Italian opera! Vive English. French and Dutcn comic opera! The surplus of comic opera is not greater than the overflow of singers who think they can sing and act every role in them. Young women positively besige the lobbies and stage doors of the houses when comic opera is played, begging to be taken on even in the chorus. I was talking with Colonel John McCaull, at Wallack s, the other evening when he was requested to give a hearing to a young lady who had a beautiful voice. "Certainly," said the Colonel; "that is just what we want. Let her come on Thursday next at noon; there are a dozen others coming that day." The lady's friend went away apparently pleased. I asked the Colonel later how the trial had resulted. "She has a clear, thin voice, and we put her on at $15 to sing in the choruses, where she will have a good summer school and a chance for small parts next season. I met James C. Daft on Tuesday in the lobby of the Standard. There were four yomg women with music rolls in their hands, waiting for him to turn them over to his leader for the trial of their voices. "They come not in single numbers, but in battalions," he said to me, sotto voce. "Some of themlav the grandest assurance," he added. " You know,' says one, 'I sing in Italian.' Another comes, chaperoned by her mother, and s mother is as disastrous to the harmony of an opera company as a mother-in-law to a

new household. None of them ever apply for a position in the chorus; it's always the principal role which they wish to Bing." There is a great pressure being brought to bear upon the Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which his suddenly been enriched by so many gift of fine works of art, to throw the building open to the public on Sundays. The argument rxost persistently urged is that to close the building on Sunday is, practically to close it entirely to the poor, who have no other day of leisure on which to visit it, and the trustees are invariably denounced as Puritanical. 1 was satisfied that there. were other good and sufficient reasons for the action of the trustees, and I asked tbe director of the Museum, General L. P. Di Cosnola, what they were. "Ah!" he said, the writers who urge this do not know the conditions or purposes of tbe organization of this Museum. It is not a public but a private institution. From the day it was established its founders had a plan as grand and far-reaching as it was simple. Their ambition has been to make it the richest of American museums. It was originally intended, and tbe plan is strictly adhered to, to nave several departments, each to be under the - charge of scholars specially fitted for their direction. These will embrace a gallery of ancient and modern paintings. Yon see, every available space on our walls is covered, yet the Wolfe collection is to be hung, and we have $500,000 worth of paintings in the basement which the public has had no opportunity to behold; nor can it have until the new building is completed. Oh! that wont be for a year yet. Then there is a department for collections of Egyptian, Assyrian, Phoenicians, Cyprote, Greek, Etruscan, Eoman, Byzantine and Indian-American art, represented by basreliefs, inscriptions, engraved gems, objects in gold, silver, bronze, glass, alabaster, terra cotta, pottery, coins and so on. The collection of ancient glass is acknowledged in Europe to be the richest in existence. The Cesnola collection? How many pieces? We have 17,000 on exhibition and 14,000 which we haye no room at present to display. Yts, next year. Our collection of Assyrian and Babylonian cylinders is second only to that of the British Museum. Then we have a collection of casts, both in metal and in plaster, of all the famous sculptures. One of our trustees sets apart a large sum each jear, cut of his private purse, to purchase these. The basement is stored with specimens we have been years collecting without the knowledge of the public. In a few years this collection of casts, which the public knows nothing about, will be second to none in the world. Our library, in due course of time, will rival that of tbe British Museum. We will have art schools modified on that of South Kensington and the Paris Ecole des Beaux Arts. All these departments were originally planned, and have been thus frr carrid out, not by the city or the general public, but by the trustees, at their own cost. The city does not even pay the running expenses of tbe Museum. It costs the trustees fully $30,000 a year to run the establishment. It will add fully $10 000 each year to open the Museum on Sunday. There is nothing puritanical in the oppoiition of the trustees to the proposition, but it is asking too much to insist on opening the Museum on Sunday for the benefit of the public at the expense of private gentlemen whose purses are already overtaxed. I am a Catholic, lived all my youth in European capitols, and visited museums on Sunday always; so my opposition is in no sense PuritanicaL" General Di Cesnola showed me a collection of casts, which are stored in the basement and bidden, as yet, from public view. The collection is certainly very large and varied ; but 1 was far more interested in a collection of some twenty mummies, and in the beautifully preserved cotlins in in which they lay. The engraving and painting on these coffins are as clear and bright as if completed two days ago inslesd of 2,000 years. On some of them the inscription, giving the names of the dead, are as legible a ordinary printing of the present day. The public have no knowledge of the existence of this most interesting collection. I seem to have unwillingly stirred np quite a breeze among sale-makers, bankers and others by my allusions in a former letter to the insecurity of square, laminated safes as now made. I hadn't any such intention, and bee to so assure several correspondents who have written me ia protest, some going so far as to call me hard names, such as "sensationalist" and "Anarchist." I find tbat Frank A. Burr, in tbe Philadelphia Times, goes still farther than I ventured, and describes how any safe with a door can be opened by burglars in half an hour with a "kit" consisting of a vial of nitroglycerine, a piece of putty and a perenssion cap, all of which can be carried in Hnbhell's Bakers' Monthly for April called attention to this insecurity of safes, and I see by the May number it also has been remonstrated with by bankers who prefer not to be told that their securities are not safely lodged in their big safes with ponderous locks. It talks of optical demonstration jf the insecurity of safes in general use. Anybody having a safe can optically demonstrate this for himself by the use of a little putty placed on the top of the door. Let him then shut the door with as much force as he likes, and the putty will be untouched in places, thus showing that the door does not fit compactly. This space admits fire. .Nitro-glycerine will also trickle through such space in a few minutes, in such quantities that, if exploded, will blow of! any door yet made. Of course, it is idle to talk about the sensationalism of calling attention to these things. Hubbel's Monthly, by the way, estimates the number of safe burglaries in this country at two a day. James H. Beard, the animal and portrait tainter; has just finished a three-quarter ength portrait ot General Tecumseh Sherman. It rather flatters the old man, but it is a fin e likenees of him as he looked daring tbe war. It is by far the best I have seen of him, and ought to be in the War Department at Washington, or in the Military Academy at West Point. Sherman was lately applied to by the superintendent of West Toint to sit for a portrait, but refused, saying he would sit bo more for any purpose. The Military Academy should certainly secure a copy of this portrait by Beard. Mr. George F. Kunz, the mineralogist of Messrs. Tifiany & Co.. whom I mentioned

some time ago as an extensive buyer of meteorites, read a curious paper on meteors before the Academy of Sciences recently. Somebody who had seen my paragraph announcing that Mr. Kunz was in the market for these articles, sent him one. which was seen to fall only a few months ago in Arkansas. It weighed 107 j pounds, and was displayed and described In detail to the scientists, who heard Mr. Kunz lecture. I suppose Mr. Kunz has the largest collection of meteorites in existence. He has recently received two from Kentucky and thirty-eight from Mexico; but he isn't satisfied yet, and he announced that he would buy any number sent him at good prices. I suppose he finds them of use as well as of interest, though what use they can be I can't imagine. The widow of Dr. Tavey, of the Greeley expedition, like th? widow of Gen. Caster, has adopted literature for a living. She sails next Saturday for some cold latitude in Europe. Sweden, I believe. Joseph Howard's book about Beecher is meeting with a very large sale.

To the Penltentlary-Evoiutlon-fiallty or Embezzlement Railroad Tax la Brown Other Indiana Specials. Jeffeksonvim., May 20. A sensational cowhiding aflair took place here last night. The parties to the affair were Mr3. Nellie Bagot, tbe divorced wife of W. F. Bagot, who is now in the Clark County Jail awaiting commitment to the State Prison on a sentence of two years for forgery, and Mitchell D. Beck with, the West End reporter of the Louisville Post, but who resides in JelTerEonville. E?er since Bagot created a sensatiou by running away with Georgia Twoomey, a slxteen-yar uld girl, on tbe 1st of las'. August, the eossips have been busy circulating derogatory reports concerning Mrs. Bagot. It recently came to the ears of Mrs. Bagot that Beckwith had stated to several parties that he had seen her coming out of an assignation bouse in Louisville. The lady became so inefnsed ever the matter that she resolved to take the law into her own hands, and to that end, on Wednesday afternoon, purchased a cowhide. Wednesday night Mrs. B got was on the street looking for Beckwith, but failed to find him. Yesterday afternoon she addressed a note to him, and asked him to call at her residence. No. 119 Ohio avenue. The note was handed to him and he proceeded to her house. She was waiting for him and admitted him to the parlor, and asked him to ba seated in a large rocking-chair near a dressing-case. Mrs. Bagot, beiDg a very frail lady of a nervous temperament, became greatly excited at the eight of Beckwith. and could fcardly express herself as to why she had desired his presence at her home. She managed, however, to tell him what she had heard, and demanded an explanation. He replied that he had beard the report, but did not know anything about the truth of it- At this juncture she stepped behind Beckwith and took from the dressing-case the cowhide, with which she commenced etriking him over the face from behind. Before he could realize what was going on, several blows had been dealt, when he sprang from the chair and clutched the whip, but did not succeed in wrenching it from tbe woman's grasp. During the tuss'.e, Mrs. Bagot told Beckwith that there were others in Jeffersonville who would receive the same dose if they did not cease their talk. Beckwith released his hold on the whip and started out the door, followed by Mrs. Bagot. He remarked to her that he had not said enough to deserve the lashing. She replied, "You lie," and again struck him in the face. He hurriedly lelt. and, by back ways, reached his boarding house, but was not to be found in the city last night. Parties who saw him going across a common, in the vicinity of the old graveyard, state that at that time he was holding a handkerchief to the side of his face, as if blood had been drawn. The Kokomo Marder. Kokomo, May 1!. This morning's Ssntinel gave a brief account of the murder committed here last night The following seems to be the facts in the case: At about 7 :30 last night Dick Hance stood at the corner of Smith and North streets talking to an unknown man. Just across the street, not sixty feet distant, standing in the doorway ot BortofTs grocery, was John Nesbitt, a farmer, his team waiting unhitched in the street. A boy, the son of Bortoff, was measuring potatoes within. John Jackson pa33ed the two men conversing on tbe corner on his way to tbe grocery. He was so near that he could almost touch them by reaching out his hand. Hance was leaning negligently on tbe fence, looking to the south, the gleam of the grocery lights full in his fa:e. The stranger stood facing him, his features hidden in the shadow. There were no aDgry words spoken nothing to indicate that the meeting of the two men was otherwise than of the most common-place character. Jackson had hardly reached the opposite side of the street befo're two shots rang out in rapid succession and Hance fell to the earth. The stranger turned, with his smoking revolver in his hand, walked coolly south on Smith street past the dumb founded spectators and, reaching the rear of the grocery store, broke into a brisk run and disappeard. L. y; Hoover and a companion drove up in a sewing machine wagon and attempted to intercept the fleeing man, but without success. Hance was carried to bis home, one block away, and Dr. J. McL. Moulder summoned. It was discovered that the ball had entered the right eye near the nasal bone, lodging at the base of the brain and fracturing the skull. He lived about thirty-five minutes after the shot, never regaining consciousness. The scene about the humble home was touching in the extreme and the grief of the foster-mother heartrending. The best obtainable description of the mnrdereis from John Nesbitt. He describes him a man about five foot seven to ten inches in height, of medium build, wearing dark coat and trowsers and a cap. No one seems to have got a good enough view of the features of the man to attempt a description. The proper name of the murdered man is Bay, and is the foster child of John Hance. He was eighteen years of age and a fine looking fellow Btronc, well knit and the picture ot good health. He was adopted by Mr. Hance when three months old. At the time of his death he was employed as a teamster by William Morgan, the brickmaker and contractor. His foster father has been a resident of the city since 1861. He farmed what is known as the Macy land, lying between the Pan-handle and L. E. and W. Railroad, north of the junction. Hance was a young man of good habits and his companions say he was not quarrel some and was never known to drink, uificers began scouring the neighborhood this morning to discover the mut derer of Hance. A young man named Olli Hawkins, was arrested on suspicion. At first Hawkins stoutly denied the charge, but when confronted with the fact that bAwas seen with Haue last night he broko down and acknowledged that he had killed Hance, alleging, however, that the-act was done in self defence. Hawkins is in jail snd will be given a preliminary hearing Immediately, when very sensational disclosures are expected, as it is generally believed that Hawkins was jealous of Hance's attention to a Kokomo young ladv. Picnic of the Academy of the Sciences. W a velar d, May 20. At an early hour this morning tbe members of the Indiana Academy of Science were stowed away in the comfortable conveyances kept here for carrying picnic parties, and started for the valley of Cliff Creek.

About noon they brought np at Pine Hills, on Sugar Creek, where they were joined by parties from Greencastle and Crawfordsville. Lunch was served at the Kingfisher's club-house at 1 o'clock. The afternoon was spent in collecting and wandering at oat the region, rowing and fishing. In the evening a business Bession was held, when three names were proposed for msm-

berehip, and all elected in the nsual way. Two amendments to the constitution were proposed to be acted upon at the metir)g. After the business meeting the collections which had been made were discussed in an informal way, and than, after thanks were returned to the citizens, and to all with whom the academy came in contact and by whom they had been entertained, the academy adjourned.

Death of Mr. A. M. Conning. Martins vi i. LT., May 13. The death of Mrs. A. M. Cunning," wife of Hon. Ambrose M. Cunning, Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, occurred this morning at 2 o'clock at her home in this city. Mrs. Cunning had been for some time a patient sufferer of that dreaded disease, consumption, consequently her death was not unexpected. She was a most estimable lady, a devoted wife and mother, amiable and sweet In her disposition, and loved by all of her numerous friends and acquaintances. Mrs. C. was a worthy member of the Presbyterian Church and also of the Daughters of Bebekah. Sbe leaves surviving, as members cf her family, her husband and one son, Frank, a bright boy about twelve years of age, both of whom have the deepest sympathy of this community. At a meeting of the bar and officers of the Morgan Circuit Court held to-day. resolutions of rerpect for tbe deceased and sympathy for Judge Canning were adopted. Her father has been quite sick and continues very feeble. The funeral took place to-day at 1 :30 p. m. Elder A. J. Frank, of Danville, officiated. Did nim Injustice. North Maschester, May 10. The item in Mmday's Sentinel from Anderson did Dr. Orr, o Salem, Ohio, great injustice. Tie Dcctor is in poor health and has been ia that condition for more than a year. N.itber did any Deputy Sheriff figure in ti e cafe. He had not been to Cincinnati fo- treatmerit, but was oa his way from I 1)dpii. Ohio, where he had been to consult a physician and was obliged to remain in Cincinnati simply over ODe night to secure hi train next day. While there he received information regarding home matters which made him UDeasy and he telegraphed to his wife at North Manchester to meet him at Richmond. By the delay and no receipt of telegrams he became somewhat annoyed, and this with his poor health had the eCect of annoying him greatly, which, however, all disappeared when he was fortunate enough to meet his wife at Anderson, who came in res pone to the telegrams. The incident was muco exaggerated and too trivial to secure publication in a newspaper. Tha Doctor is very prominent in Ohio and his wife an estimable lady. Cat to Pieces by the Cars. Blcffton, May IS. Yesterday evening a house painter named Elias IlQflmtn, formerly of this county, but late of Steuben County, applied at a hotel in Uniondale, a station on the C. and A. Railway, for a night's lodging, but was refused, because somewhat intoxicated. This morning a west-bound train, at a point one-half mile east of Uniondale, discovered what proved to be the remains of said Huffman strewn along the track. His head was picked up in one place, his neck in another, aid the legs, arms, thigh omts and body in others. He was evidently run over by the fast express and a couple of freights in the n'ght time. A more horribly mangled body is seldom 6een. Coroner Thoma held an inquest on the remains. The deceased left no family but a wife, from whom he has long lived separate. He was about thirtyfive years of age. A One-Winged Chick. Jeffersonville, May IS. Two months ago Mrs. Ellen Cain, residing on Rose Hill, west of the city, placed the usual number of eggs under a dominick hen. In dae course of time the little chicks peeped out, and among the brood was one with a solitary wing growing out of the top of its back. Tbe little chick was carefully watched. It thrived, grew, and is as lively as any of the brood. The one peculiarity about the chicken is that when it runs it raises or spreads tbe wing, and seems to nss it as a kind of rudder to steer with. The chicken is a genuine curiosity, and attracts the attention of the neighborhood generally, large numbers of people calling daily to look at the wonderful phenomenon as it runs around among the other chickens.

Death of Louis B. Legier. Evansville, May IS This community was startled this evening on receiving the news of the death of Louis B Legier, who for almost a half century has lived in this city. Although it was known that he was seriously ill his sudden death was not looked tor.
