De Accidentally KUls His Mother, Maeioh. lto.. Aneust 20. Oae of the most lamentable tragt dies ever cnronicled vas reported to Coroner Lord at an early hoHr this forenoon. The scene of the sad occurrence is one of the most remote parts of this county, be ne elehteen miles soathwest of this city. and three miles south of Point Isabel. The facts in the case, as near as they can be gleaned from tbe meager accounts that are at band, are as louowa: Yeeterdav Newton LIghtfoot. who is a solid and substantial famer, had occasion to go away from home, and his bunness was of such a character as to detain him over night. Thieves have been deva s: ating smoke bouses and crius ana entering houses in that locality of late, and there being no other male member of his household, as a measure of precaution he re que&ted his ton, Frank Lign'foot, wh lives on an ao joining larm, to come over and spend tbe night. This was done, and at an early hour the family retired. Frank Ughtloot requested mat in case any member of the family arose during the niht they should first awaken him, as he expected to nee the revolver under his pillow in the event of an invasion. About midnight the household was thrown into the ntnjost consternation by the crack of a p:stol, followed by the agonized groans of scroe one evidently in mortal agony. Young Lightfoot had been aroused by bo iue one entering tbe housa, and, witaout stopping to ask any questions, had Maiel away with deadly effect. A light was procured, and the family and young Lightloot were horror-stricken to find Mrs. New ton Lightfoot, mother of the man who shot her. weltering in her blood. Upon examination it was found that the ball, a thirty-two caliber, had entered her right side about half way between the hip and shoulder. She was beyond the reach of surgical aid, mil died In twenty minutes. She staled that she had heard some commotion among the stock, and thought she would investigate without alarming the family. She protested with her dying breatn that her son was blameless, and that she was to blame for her misfortune. Deceased was about fifty-five years old, and tbe mother of a large family of children. The event is deeply deplored, and his casta gloom over the entire neighborhood. Tbe Coroner left for the scene of the tragedy this afternoon to hold an inquest. The Old settiera of Cass. Lot.asspoet, Aueust 20. lSp?cial The sevrnteenth annual picnic of tbe Old Set tlers' Association of Jas3 Count was held tn thLs city to-day. Tbe weather was all tnat could have been desired to insure a large attendance, and early this morning many old and prominent farmers, who have not been in the city for weeks, were seen traveling in tbe direction of the beautiful grove bu the Sonthside, where the meeting was held. At 10:30 a. m. the president of the Old Sailers' Society called the rneetirg to order, followed by muäic from Fornou's baud and prayer by Key. W. U. Daniel. The minutes of tbe meeting held last Tear vera then rpad by the secretary, after which Msjor John B. Milroy, of Delphi, delivered an address quite interesting to all present. The meeting adjourned for dinner promptly at 12 o'clock, when a repast was served to the multitude, consisting of fresh bread and juicy steak of tie roasted ox, fcy ex-Sherili Snyder, Maj. McFaddin, M. Tettit and others, who were adtpts as dispensers of the staff of life in true camp fashion.

Also many side chats by others, call,, icg up reminiscences of the past. The Evaniville Scandal. Evaksvili.e, August 21. The comments upon the 8L George scandal continue to be the Bubject of conversation in every group that gathers. Business men stop talking "shop" to express their opinion and indignation over the action of Huston and his trio of employes. One gentleman yesterday, standing in a party of four, said: "It was the most treacherous bit of work I ever heard tell of. I have carefully read every scrap of information upon the subject and it strikes me that the conduct ot the St George hotel in tbe matter was peculiar to eay the least. Wr. Williams and Mrs. Comp ton were given rooms en suite on the third floor. Mrs. Comp ton's indignation was just. To satisfy her, abe is changed to "43," and then to "93," which . overlooks the ice house. If there was not 'method in this madness' what was it." The other n? embers of the party seemed to be of the same opinion. A traveler for a Cincinnati notion house, who makes frequent visits to this city, was in the city yesterday. Speaking to a reporter, he said: 4,I sometimes take my wife with me on my trip, but hereafter I shall undoubtedly shun the St. George, if that is the way they spy oa their guests. I care too much for my family ties to have tbem intruded upon by these smart Paul Pry, who climb Icehouses and use opera glasses to look into fonrth-etory windows after bedtime." A justice of tbe peace, and one whose integrity end item sense of justice and the law has ne ver beeu questioned, yesterday remarked: "If a complaint were filed before me for such an o lie ose ai these men are guilty of, I should undoubtedly give them the fall extent of the law, and If the plaintiff was to soundly tresh tbe defendant I would be 83 prejudiced in his favor that I think I would be unwilling to try his case." "Say," said a young business man to a reporter aa he was crossing the street, "I think it would be a good idea that a lodge of a new secret order be established bore to be called the Knights of the IcfcjUouse and Opera Glasses."

cf them attempted to save him. Ills boiy was recovered this afternoon. He was twtnty-five years of age and leaves a young wife, to whom he was married five weeks ago. A Circular Creates Commotion. G Beeke nußo, August 20 Special. About 1876 a most cowardly and brutal muider was committed in this quiet city, tbe victim being a wealthy citizen. It wa9 generally supposed that he was killed for his money, but so well planned and executed was the terrible deed, that the perpetrator could not be brought to justice, and as the years rolled by it gradually faded from the minds of our people, and nothing save an occasional comment was ever heard. Yesterday the town was suddenly tbrown into a state of intense excitement by the appearance on tbe streets of a teeret circular distributed byboyp. From whence they came no ooe seemed to know. Your correspondent was unable to secure a copy of the bill for publication because of the demand for them and those who sees red any held on to thm. The boys sold all they could get at five cents each. The assassination of the President could not have created a greater demand for newspapers. The circular is brief but pointed and strongly denounces and accutes one of our most prominent and prosperous citizens with the crime and plainly Btates that he is the perpetrator of the old murder. The accused has been in business here for several years, and is an honest, sober and industrious citizen, and is highly respected by the entire community, ana this charge is thought to be the work of some unknown enemy. It is believed by the general public to be untrue. A Horrible Story. Geeekfielp, August 17. Special. Slowly, but surely are developiog the facts of a roost atrocious outrage upon society, civilization and common decency. Miss Alice Gibon, aged about 17 years, was decoyed from her home near Harris City, this County to find a place to work at the Beitz Hotel, and upon being told there that they had no place for her. she listened to a man who told her that he lived in the east end of town, and that his wife would give ber work for two or three weeks. She went with him and tells a piteous story. She says that on the way to the place, ia the company of the stranger, she ws seized by some parties who met them near tbe old Kamerling slaughter house, and brutally outraged. Late in the night she was carried in an almost unconscious state to a bouse kept by Ella Rickettü, alias Bridges. From Monday till Thursday evening this poor girl was held by the "Hag" Bridges a close prisoner, and under threats of taking her life, was, she says, forced to meet

nightly some four or five ruffians, whose , i . i . nameB Bne rememoers ana nas eivea iu tbe officers. She finally escaped and attempted suicide by taking morphine. She was detected in the act, and upon refusing to give her name, or tell anything, was placed In jail. She finally gave her name, and her brother ana oroin er-in-law are lending aid to tbe capture of the hoodlums. Tbe Bridces woman has been placed in iftil. and one of tbe accused parties, Chas. Wilson, has also been arrested. Others of the gang will probably be caught to-night. The woman Bridges seems inclined to court meicy by "peaching ' on the boys. Horrllbe Brutality Suicide. Ft. Watke.

Ten months ago John Waterside, a Frenchman, married a woman who shortly afterwards gave birth to an illegitimate child, of which he wss not the father. The fellow had said he would "Be rid of the brat and that he had almost killed the damned thing end would finish it yet." The township trustee investigated, with the aid of two phyaiiiaas, end found the child with one leg and one arm broken, the latter in two places below tbe elbow, necessitating immediate amputation. The child was probably attacked two mouths fcince and has been wholly without medical aid. The leg will also hay? to be amputated. Waterside wae arrested and bound over in the sum foOOan jailed. An Unknown man who had arrived t cay from Monmouth, Ind., talked about suicide to some men standing about the South depot, when he suddenly threw himself under the wheels ot a passing freight train and was cut to pieces.

TWO DUELS IN ONE DAY

Exploits of Strikter Eirriion H R'.ddleoerger en the Field of Honor. A Goodly Pottlon of His Coat Tall Carried Off by a Ballet, IThlch SatiiQes the A k reived Part. New York. August 20. Senator Harriion II. Iliddleberer, who languished in the Woodstock, Va , jail a few dys ago, was a well-known guest at the Continental Hotel last winter, lie was pointed out as the man who bad filled two engagements for dnels on the same day. The double engagement came about in this way: In the gubernatorial canvass in issi, üiaaieberger, then a State Senator, took: the stump for William A. Cameron, the re-adjuster candidate. In his speeches he digressed from attacks on Democratic principles to personal assaults on the Democratic leaders. Toward the end of the campaign he made savage attacks on Congressman George D. Wise and editor Beirae of the Richmond State, in a speech, delivered at Norfolk. A few mornings later he received challenge from both of these gentlemen. With the promptitude for which the Senator is famous, he answered the challenges, accepting them, naming the came day for both fights. He informed Wise tbat he would meet him in a field just outside of Richmond. To Beirne he tent a laconic note, something like this: I will be ready for you at 10 a. m. if Wise leaves me on my feet. On the morning appointed the hostile forces met. Everyone knew that Rlddleterger could not bit a big oak tree at ten paxes. On the otter hand, Wise ia very near sighted, and cannot distinguish more than the outline of an object at the regular dueling distance. A half hour's fusilade wss therefore expected before any stray bullet touched either of tbe antagonists. Tbe duelists took their places. The word was eiven. Two reports were heard at intervals of five or six seconds. When the smoke cleared away the seconds rushed up to ascertain the condition of their principals. No damage was found. Some curiosity wss evinced as to what direction the bullets had taken, for while the word wsb being given to fire it was noticed tbat Wise was taking deadly aim at a little fir tree about six feet to the right of his enemy, while Riddleberger seemed Intent on bring down a bunch of cherries a halfdozen feet above the head of the congressman. After the first exchange of compliments both principals gave veiled intimations tbat they were of tbat philosophic order ot men who know when they have got enough; but the seconds, failing to comprehend the intimation, or desiring to tee a little more fun, decided that it would take at least one more fire to vindicate the honor ol all concerned. So the principals sadly resumed their places and prepared for another onslaught. This time Wise, who . bad received some hints from his second, did cot aim at the fir tree. He turned his arm more to the left. At first he seemed unable to decide between the figue ot Riddleberger and the knarled roots of an ov tree a couple of feet to the left. inan- -appeared to compromise mattere cr mind and aimed directly betw -.J": objects. Riddleberger took" irg particnlar. As the - lci at u?' it is taid thvt a flv . rrd. w" JS? band and tickled it "f ? the pistol and V fifö?,mu,cllAtbf jeikd that fly ia J hla f1. a.imvi da the bat Bhot firicg it made. for after the tw hn a Vcs found ried -inched his bullet had neatly car.mi gooaiy portion of lUddleberger's it coat tail. When this fatility was distovered it was agreed that the shattered bit of tail was amply sufficient to satisfy the honor of tbe aggrieved party. All parties left the field satisfied with themselves and each other. Ridd'eberger and his friends adjourned to an inn near by and Indalged in refreshments while awaiting the arrival of the second bloodthirsty enemy. At 9 30 Beixne waa seen coming over the hill with his seconds and physician. The Riddleberger army drew up outside of the door to receive them with the polite formality required by the code. The whole party then went over to the duelling field. The seconds looked more serious this time. They felt that blood would turely irrigate the field before lunch, tor Beirne was known as a crack i-hot and as very mad at Riddleberger. Tbe Senator showed no fear, howevi r. He amoked calmly while the preliminaries were being arranged. Juet as the principals were about to be ordered to their places the clouds, which had been threatening for some time to get ahead cf the blood in wetting the field, began a general Bprinkling. The hostile forces retired beneath a big tree to await the eod of the shower. They had a long wait, for soon it began to pour. The lightning flashed, the thunder roared, and all began inquiring anxiously about the kind of a tree that the thunderbolts loved. One of the physicians, who was a church deacon, thought this a good time to get in eomework. He began a sort of a sermon, declaring that heaven had interfered to prevent the accomplishment of the bloodthirsty desires of the men, and begged the would-be duelists to give up their longings for each other's blood. The sermon might have had eilect, but for a fear of the ridicule which would await tha principals on their return to the city without a single exchange ot shots. After the rain the party came out on the field. When it came to getting the pistols ready for their deadly work it was found that the amunition was thoroughly 59a.fcectf Grreat regret was expressed by the ' principals, but eye-witnesses testify that Involuntary signs of relief were mingled with the regrets. What was to be done? No ammunition could be got at any place nearer than Richmond, and if they returned to the city they might bd arrested. One of the seconds, who evidently considered that he bad been cheated out of a good thing, protested violently aeainst returning without a dead body, and suggested that the principals should hunt up a couple of knives and take a hack at each other. This suggestion met with general disapproval. Finally It was decided to meet again on the morrow and all started for town. But the duel that was looked for never came, for both principles were next day arrested and placed under bonds to keep the peace. Crooked WhUky Gangers. Chicago, Aug 20 Two revenue gugersfrom the Louisville district reported for duty to collector Stone this morning. Others are expected in a day or so. Theee gangers are sent in exchange for gangers whom the collector sent on spesial se;ret duty to Louisville yesterday. It is published here this afternoon that the revenue authorities at Washington evidently expect crookedness in the revenue work in the Louisville district. The nature of this crookedness collector Stone does cot feel at liberty to discloso. When questioned, he said he was asked several months ago by the officials of Whldgton how many gangers he could spare or exchange and gave his answer at that time so the work in Louisville has evidently been watched. Tbey Want Tbe Hooks. KewYobk, August 20 Assigneo William X. Cromwell, of the firm of Henry S. Ives t Co., obtained from Judge Donohue, yesterday afternoon, an order to compel three partners in the firm to appear on Monday in the court of Common Pleas and explain what has become of the ledger, the cashbook, the security book, and two blotters covering tbe year 18S and the early part of 1937, The firm opened new books

on April 1, last, and tbe assignee has been unable to obtain the books referred to from tbe members. They profess not to know hat has become of them. They are imTortant because, although the books in use since April 1 appear to be straight, there is nothing to show tbat tbey are begun on a comet basis. The clerks make affidavit that fell tbe books were In the vault on aioDay. Angnst 8, about tbe time the Cincinnati creditors arrived from the west with Ives. It is said that the assignee tbre atened lves and his partners with arrf st if tbey did not produce the books, bat they poeitively declared that they knew tiotfciig of their whereabouts. Tbe Kldclebeiger A flair. Wcodstock. Va., Aug. 20. In the Coanty Court yesterday a special grand jury consisting cf nine men, with T. J. Adams as foreman, investigated Senator Riddleberger's jail delivery of Jast Saturday morning. After spending tbe entire day in eecret session and examining seventeen witnesses they brought in two indictments. Ore wss against the following parties: John Ludwig, Milton Cooper, William Dirges, Joseph Holtzmon and Charles Ruby, of Rdinburg, the former bone of the Senator, charged with being the leaders of the mob who rescued Riddleberger. Tbe other indictment was made agains Deputy Sheriff Hottel for misdemeanor. Hottel who was staying in tbe same room at tbe jail, with Kiddlebei eer, when the mob came and demanded tbe keys and then pried the door off, offered no resist

ance, though armed. Wbat will come of the case is cot known, but the general opinion here is tbat no one will be convicted. Senator Riddleberger la much better and is expected will return to tne jail the first of next week and serve his remaining three days. Sold Oat to the Hood I ers. Chicago, August 19 Lawyer N. H.

Senator Sherman's Daughter. . Philadelphia News.1 There is a paragraph going the rounds that Senator John Sherman's one child is a daughter named Mary, who last year, far the first time, entered society in Washington. Mr. and Mrs, IBherman have no children of their own and never had. The circumstances of the adoption many years ago of this voune elrl were somewhat re. markable. The Eenator and his wife one day were visiting an orphan asylum, when this little child, then almost an infant, teemed to take a great fancy to the Senator, and would haidly consent to have him go away. This touched a man who ia naturally stern and cold in his manner. Tbe result was a sudden resolve to adopt her, and the Senator and his wife took the child home with them, where she has ever since been treated as their own daughter. FITS.
