That fifty-year old parrot of Columbus, which swears in six different languages, was probably the only resident of that town fully capable of expressing the feelings of those prominent and wealthy citizens who had to pay lines ior taxdodging. Doc.ixo taxes isn't quite eo popular down Columbus way as it was before several wealthy citizens had been fined thereior. Eventually, perhaps, "wealthy and respected citizens" wiil learn that they must pay taxes the same aa their poorer brethren. YorNG men for pension examiners is to be the rule of this administration, and wo think it a pood one. Men who will bo as active in getting improper names oil' the pension roll as the claim Agents havo been In putting them ou will btrike the country as about the right tiling. Hon' eurprisel tho republicans were Tuesday when they were voted down on a strict party nuestion in the senate! It waa the iirdt time for rainy years, and when it happened they aoko to a lull realization of the extent to which they were turned dawn by the peo;io last Nuvvruler. Jn theeo dr.ysi we never know what it is fo to Bale. Q tho pin.e day that a St. I.iu.9 iiitn diH-j from the eil-ct of a retublican'e hit a Canadian ra.lroader expires while t:n K-rgoing treatment for corns. Now if it t-lii u!d chanc that a I corn doctor; turned republicans or a 1 republicans turned corn doctors it would create a Hiecies inor? deadly by far than too tarantula or thecVi tl' cn !'. Tiik Luroin of a crazy negro at Paris. Tix , is still hr.ti;nr; emulation. Recently on Arkansas couiie were murdered in much the same manner, and now an Alabama nob has turned a colored murderer at the state. The horrible example is tiltely to bj followed, here and there, until courts and cc mrnucities do their duty an. I properly punish the perpetrator of some of taese larbarious cruellies. Amonc, the speculators caught in the squeeze on the Chicago board of tra Je was CitAiM.fs A. I'immü'kv, the mil ior.aire republican Dolitician and mill-owner of Minneapolis. Tim..-! ;iv was thj father of the anti-option bill, which he tried to pet through congress, ostensibly in the interest of the poor fanner but really iu the interest of the grea mid and elevator combine, of which he is the head. The general public will g'i, a pood dal of satisfaction out of tre "milking" of this champion hypocrite. A St. LoriH democrat has just died from the effect of a republican bite, liver since last November the republicans have been ia an ugly temper, and peculiarly veDCtaouj, and the St. I.ouis victim should have been mora careful in handling them. As there is no known amidata against the bite of the republican at that period when he is shedding his official skin, an 1 as the ekin-eheddhig season bc-an early in March, we would a fvioo a I our readers to approach the reptiin with exceeding caution. An the repub.ican is rapidly becoming extinct and naturalists may de sire to preserve specimens some suggestions may be in order. It is well in making a capture to approach the loathsome object from behind and thrust a forked stick over his neck and into the ground, holding him in this position until his fangs art extracted. Then he shoul 1 be snaesthalized with a heavy doe of vox poplin. The best preservative is a strong iclution of alcohol. Ex-SESATCJt I.NOAU.s is nothing if not a demagogue. In a letter to the St. Louis Gbjif'Di ni'icml he says that the "administration of President Clkvkland has been placed in power ad a protest against existing social condition?," and adds that the people "have been in etructed that the reaaon why they are poor is becau.-e others are rich; that the reason why they are unfortunate is because others are prosperous, and that the true way to mend matters is to repudiate all debt, distribute ail fortunes curtail individual activity, deprive ambition of its incentive and industry of its reward, put thrift, idleness, sagacity, stupidity, sobriety, drunkenness, genius and mediocrity on the same level, reduce all to obscurity and poverty, and thus satisfy the 'yearnings for an equal division of earnings.' ; In this Mr. Ingalls upholds his wellearned reputation for reckless handling of facts. He knows as well as anyone that his statements are unqualifiedly false; that no one has tuocght of "repudiating debts," "distributing fortune," "curtailing individual activity" or "putting thrift, idleness, sagacity, stupidity," etc., on the same leveL The people have merely

rebolled against a party which has taken tho wealth of the multitude and put it in the hands of a few; which, by its legislation, has permitted favored ones to choke out competition, and thus "curtail individual activity" and "deprive ambition," if not of its incentive, at least of its opportunity. Thsy have rebelled against the party which could not trust tnein. and, which, above all its other crimes, made law-makers of the representatives of special interests, as it did. of John J. Inoalis, representative of Jay Gould and the Union Pacific.

Information lor New Albany. If indeed consistency be a jewel the New Albany Lebjrr ia loaded with jewelry. It hag tho happy faculty of never learning anything. Peacefully oblivious to the progress of tho surrounding world, it pounds along in the eame old ruts, only occasionally looking out on the higher ground where the rest of the world travels to assure its contemporaries that they are all wrong. It now announces that Ueniiy George "has made a great impression upon alargecla-aof half-baked minds in America and elsewhere, unforluniUhj fur th? time.." It graciously concedes that he "uses good English," but "his premises are at fault and his logic of the kind that Whately warned his students against." Henry Georck has been very prominently identified with the movements for tariff reform, ballot reform, labor reform, land tenure reform and oth-ir minor advances in civilization. On all these, except, perhaps, land tenure reform, his logic has received the indorsement of the country. In all he has been proven a leader and a debater of remarkable skill. The tariff question has been debated in this country for a century, and yet at the close of that period half a dozen congressmen wisely decided that the best offering they could make the country was a copy of Henry George's book on the subject in lieu of their own speeches. When Tjiz Sentinel bwgan the agitation of ballot reform in 183$ it found one man in Indianapolis who could give a full de Bcription of the Australian ballot system a telegraph operator, a disciple of Henry Gkokoe and the illustration accompanying his article was taken from IIfnuy Geokoe's Mandird. Indiana's examu'e turned the scale in favor of the reform, and thirty-seven states now use the Australian system. Ills argument on any subject is always more easily reviled than answered. And yet the Ldg r eays "he belongs to that class ot impracticable theorists who would disturb the existinz order of things without creating any thing better, and euch men should be written down by well-regulated newpaurs iufcteai of being Leid up as modele!" Th ..,; ". vi-iws on tu subject of of strikes are c,uite as characteristic as its ideas of Henky Gkokoi;, und to Le appreciated must be taken in full. It f-ys: Tiik mm inei. asserts tl.at the history of strikes ii. .ea not cho-v tl.at in nine Coes out ot tta, in tinted Ly the ;. , tl.ey aie originated lv a few men.

Of courso U.-re w;is keiicral oequiescence öfter the etnkes were on, but they were "originated by a fi-w men and agamnt the real wishes of a :re number," etc. The is iir evidently has an impression that all organized labor is in a elate of m "awry to that mysterious being, "th walking delegate," aud works, or quits work, at his will. How does it imagino a tUriku gets "oa?" In all the cases it nienti jh.j tne htrikos were ordered by the emplows. Trier is nothing more democratic than the ordinary labor union, and every man who has investigated 'ho f-ubject knows iu Listen to their testimony. .Mr. I-'rant, a reliable English investigator, says: Thr idea tbU a strike depends upon the i' .r.f cf a paid agitator, and that if the men were to vote by ballot on the question they would never consent to a ntrike, is conceived by those only who do not know what a trade union is. In moetcas a striko is the result of action taken by the iuu ther;.olves in each district, the executive bavin more power to prevent a t-trike than to initiate oue. The llev. Mr. K ai im av, another En-gii-h investigator, says: I have piven the nubj.-et a great deal of attention, and feel convinced that when the employers havo rieht on their eiJe, in the iargo majority of enses. th so-called demagogies or profonionai agitators have little power in provoking a quarrel about tho raiding or reduction of wages. l'rof. Ely, one of the ablest and most reliable of American investigators, says: The Furrender of personal liberty is often considered as a condition of membership in a trades union, but this is little rnore than a tittion in the cana of any well-managed labor organization. Thone who furni-h capital place its management in the hands of a few ; those who lurninh labor do so, though to a far. less extent. Some people peem to beliove that laborers work peacefully and contentedly until a miachievon agitator comes along and stirs them up and creates unreasonable dif-eati.-f action. All this is puro liction. But possibly the Isilirr prefers Statistire. Mr. Carkoi.l I). Wkight, national commissioner of labor, made under the authority of tho government an investigation of all strikes in this country from 1S81 to lfesG, inclusive. There were in that period 3,932 strikes, involving 22,301 establishments. He says: The total number of eroploves involmlin the whole, nu r her of strikes for the whole period was l,o3,00i!. The number of employes ori'jiwifiii'i thr xlrikis was 1,020,150. Tho number of employes in nil ftahllhmmU before the strikes occurred was l.OOO.Soö. That is to pay, nearly two-thirds of the employes originatod the strikes, and over three-fourths of them joined in striking. But perhaps the Ihjer would prefer a judicial determination of the powers of labor otlidalfl and the origin of etrikea. In Lis recent decision Judge Takt pavs: A "leal strike'' in brotherhood parlance means one cnmilM to by tho grand chief. Iii cuuMnt i necessary under the rules of the order to entitle the men thus out of employment to the three monthb' pay allowed to striking members. "Consent" to what? Necessarily, to the action already taken by the men. Indeed, nothing could be more alnurd than this somewhat common Dotionthat large classes of laboring men put themselves in the absolute control of a few individuals, an 1 are forced into strikes sgainst their own will. There are few strikes that are not the direct result of votes of the employes involved, and anyone who reads the accounts of the prog, ess of great strikes will find repeated mention of the

meetings of tho employes to decide on their course of action, accept or reject terms, and raise or continue to strike. Finally, the Ledger denies our statement that, in his decision, "Judge Taft decided that tho men might quit work, and interfere with traffic, and inconvenience the public as much as they liked, provided they quit work between runs." It avers that "Judgo Takt decided no bucu thing, quite the contrary. The elftct of the rulings in the case ia to prevent men from quitting work when Ruch action would inconvenience the public." That is easily eettled by quoting bis decision. In stating his distinction between the strike on tho Ann Arbor road and the boycott on the Lake Shore, he eays of the former: The one combination, so lar an its character was fihown in the evidence, wan Inn i'ul, because it whs for the purpose o eeliing the labor of those engaged in it for the highest prieo obtainable aud on the best lenns. The probable inevttrcnienre vr Iw's which its employes might impose on tho coin plain ant company bv withholding their labor, would, under ordinary circumstances, be a hjitimnte nuans available to them for inducing a compliance with their demands. The only inconvenience or loss that a striko can impose cn a railroad company is the lessening or stoppage of its traffic, and that ia as great or greater inconvenience to tho publio than to tho railroad. A general quitting of work on any railroad necessarily results in inconvenience to the public and interferes with interstate commerce, but Judge Taft expressly says it is lawful. Our Corn l'roducts. Secretary Morton, in a published interview, says that this administration will use every endeavor to increase the sale of our corn products abroad. To assist in arriving at more definite conclusions regarding the best means of extending that sale Col. Mi'kphy has been called home for a conference with the Washington officials. It will be remembered that Col. Mi'kph y has been in Europe for more than a year introducing Indian corn and its manufactures among the peasantry of Germany and other countries. The euccess which has attended his efforts in the face of most violent opposition has been phenomenal. The present administration announces now that this work will be continued and tho introduction of corn and corn products carried forward as rapidly as possible. The mere fact that an agent of the agricultural department has been at work in Europe introducing corn among the nations that knew it not is in itself togge.stive. But It is only when ono looks at tho results likely to flow from such an attempt on tho art of this government that the true significance of the movement is p-en. All over Europe there are vast rnynbers of peasants who have long needed and havo looked for a cheap, nutritious bread product. Wheat is too expensive. Eyo has not met the requirements uhol.y, though great quantities have been and are. uul. und barley is a costly substitute for wheat. Indian corn was introduced and eagerly accepted aa the tiling long wanted. The methods adopted for its introduction could not fail to make it popular. Mills were ibtabli.-hed, often in direct opposition to the kvheat miller, who paw in it the possiirlo destruction of their own profitable bu-iness, and the meal cooked by those thoroughly familiar with the prorers of properly preparing it, and the takes or what not distributed among the people. Tho eflect was magical, and the demand thus created has steadily increased, ani will increase) as the peasantry become more and more acquainted with its value as food. Tlie corn crop of the United States has become the greatest j:rown. It is larger with each succeeding year, and the ditliculty which has hitherto caused uneasiness has been the possible glut of the markets in tho near future. If this has been overcome by the introduction of corn into Europe and the creation of a dsmand for it there is no Icnger any cause for alarm regarding the Hooding of the markets. The peasantry of Europe will take millions of butheis annually. The ono point against which our own people should guard is to have the food proJucts manufactured in this country and give the work to Americans. After the food is ready for bhipraent the matter of whero it is consumed is of comparatively little consequence. Let Americans raise and n:anu:acturo tho food product and ship it to Europe for consumption. That is the ideal combination of forces, and the interview with Secretary Morton indicates that the present administration intends to work along those lines. The American farmer will be tho one to gain by the adoption of this policy, and the beneficial results will be important to all the industries of the nation.

The I tra .on Cheek. The New York Tribune is now in great R2ony over the dangers that thronten the country from the dangerous views of tho democratic party on the currency question. It is convinced that the country is in a most critical condition on account of the Shermau silver law, and anticipates frightful results in the futuro if that law shall not be repealed. It gives President Cleveland praise for desiring the repeal, but is fearful that he will not be able to educate his party to his position. Thus: It is to be hoped that the president will not forget the risk he takes in supposing thai such a party can be educated to financial pease or honestv with ease or rapidiiy. The country cannot afford to have another moue'ary debauch in order to lift the democratic party oat of the mire of its heresies. We sympathize with the Tribune in its distress, but must pause to aek why it did not have a better understanding of financial heiesies when the Sherman law was pas6ei. It was passed by a republican congress and approved by a republican president. The republican press, including the Tr'dmue, indorsed it as a great financial measure, which would solve the vexed silver problsm. Why is it any more heretical now than it was then? We do not think of any answer that can be given, except that the law has proven a failure. It has accomplished exactly tho opposite of what it was promised would be accomplished by it. That being the case, why (hould anyone have any further confidence in the financial views of tho Tribune and the remainder of the republican press? They confess that they were completely mistaken then. What assurance have we that they are any better qualified to dictate the financial policy of the country now? ' It would be more

modest for republican papers to don sackcloth and Ashes for republican financial heresies before lamenting the dangerous tendencies of the democratic party. Tho Itussian Treaty. The publication of the text of the Russian treaty, at the request of republican senators, fails to show any praiseworthy difTerenco Itetween the provisions on account of which the senate claimed to reject the treaty in 1S.S7 and those which it has now confirmed. The article to which objection was made in 1SS7 was us follows: Article 3. If it be made to appear that extradition is sought with a view to try or punish the person lor au olien.se of a political character, surrender t-haii not take place; nor shall any peraon surrendered be trie 1 or punished for any political offence committoi previous to his extradition, nor for any ofiense other than for which the extradition was granted, nor shall the surrender of ony person bo demanded for an oi.en?e committed prior to the day at which this convention shall take eflect. The murderor manslaughter comprising the wi 1 1 ii 1 or nesligent killing of the sovereign or chief tuagistrjte of a state, or any n.ernber of his family, as well as an attempt to commit or participate in the said crimes, shall not be considered an offense of a political character. The change is only as to what shall be excepted lrom tho list of political offenses, and in the present treaty it etands as follows: An attempt upon the life of the head of either government, or against that of any member of his family when euch an attempt comprises the act either of murder or assassination, or poisoning, ehall not be considered a political ntlenee, cr an act connected with such offense. It will be observed that in both cases there must be comprised in the act an actual killing of the sovereign or chief magistrate or some member of his family or an attempt to kill, and as to the principals in such crime no objection is made to the treaty. Tho objections raised are to the wording as to accessories, conspirators, or other persons in any wav implicated in the offense. In the formor treaty the wording as to the offense of such persons is: An attempt to commit or participate in the said crimes. In the present treaty it is: An act connected with euch ofTenae. The present wording is certain!' much broader than the former. Our courts would hold that an attempt to participate in the offense must be eorae active, intelligent part in the work, such as would make the person an accessory before the fact under our law. But what is meant by tho word "connected?" Connected in what way? Suppose a man rents a house to peoplo who use it to carry out their scheme of nsapination, is his act connected with the ch'euee of assassination".' If ho knew their purposo it would be, of course, but if he did not, can that bo used on the trial for extradition ? 1 1 i-j charged that he did. The renting is evidently "'connected" in pome atsnso with tho oifense, no matter whether it v as dony innocently or not. Could extradition bo refused under such circumstances? Th-i present expression is a very loosu one to be used in such a document. In treaties with modt countries ccnsidered civilized it would not make a great deal of d'.tfereuce, us tho accused wouid ordinariiy receive a fair trial in his native country. With Iiussia the case is drier, ent. She gives jury trial in non-political cases, but cases "connected" with n attempt on the lifeof tho ruleror othor huh official are political as well as criminal, and m these the government pro et fj aa it sees tit. It will be reniemb-.roi that when Alex an per II was ees-rM.natcd ia lssl cne of the messages that tonn cure across the cable was in these words: "Kyssakoit is being tortured." That was all. He was the man who thr?w the first bomb. He whs going through tho firßt steps of his trial. A shrtdder ran over the whole country when th-u little lino was printed. The offense wes awful, but this is the nineteenth century. The Bussian government makes little distinction in the grades of political offenders in its punishments and presumably little in its modo of trial. It was a significant fact that the accused in issi all confessed. Suppope now the man who rented the house and was extradited comes to trial in the pame way as Byssakok". Suppose tie is innocont. It seems a if th;s government ought to insist on a fair jury trial, and no torture, for people extradited from here. That is only reciprocity. Anyone brought here from Bu-.sia has those rights. There is also a reasonable objection made to art. 2 of the treaty which contains this definition of the crime of forgery: The crime of forgery, by which is understood the utterance of forged papers, and also the counterfeiting of public, tovereign or governmental acts. It is claimed that this covers the forgery of a passport, and the claim is evidently well founded. Bussia guards the frontiers with the greatest vigilance, aud it is with dillicclty that her citizens are able to escape from her borders. If a Russian has committed no oilense except forging a passport to escape from a country that has become unendurable, and has sought an asylum here, he should not be extradited.

The llvll of Falsehood. The time has arrived when all honest men should enter their oolemn protest against tho crime of prevarication. We are reliably informed that thero are now at large, in various parts of the country, numerous persons who have not the fear of God before their eyes, and who endeavor to impose on the confidence of their fellow-men by ptatemeuts that are founded on thin air. Some of these people have apparently congregated in the neighborhood of Memphis and are engaged in sending out, reports concerning the recent cyclone in Mississippi. We have no desire to do injuetico to Mississippi. We havo no doubt that her cyclone was a nice, comfortable storm that would compare favorably with .storms in other states, but there is a limit even in storms, and these descendants of Ananias have overstepped it. They inform us that Mr. J. L. Elliston was wialing away the dreary hours of the tempest relating a story to Col. McCormkk when the wind attracted their spe cial attention. Its effects on them were J varied and remarkable. Prof. Elliston "had a ÖS-caliber Smith fi Wesson pistol blown out of his 'pants' pocket without sulfering any injury." Col. McCormkk, "who was listening to Elliston's story. ' was hit in the breast by a barrel of flour

that was riving through the air and fatally injured." This is too much. If the wind had blown Prof. Elliston's "pants" off and left his revolver we would not have questioned it. Neither would we have objected if Col. McCormick, while flying through the air, had been joined by a barrel of flour, or even if he ßüd Eli iston had seated themselves on the Hying barrel and quietly continued the (tory, but we will not accept anything improbable. The ony course for n peif-respectii.g newspaper is to reject tho Blory pad douounce tho promulgators. It may be urcd in defense that these reports are interesting to the public, profitahlo to the reporters and of no material damage to anyone. That is doubtful. A few days ago an enterc.risiug prevaricator sent out a (story about an arolito falling and knocking tho left arm otf a statue of John Brown. No en's supposed it would do any harm until it struck Lieut. Totten, who at once announced that it was an extremely serious alTair. Said he: "Tho old order changes; hero endeth the becond woe (the first was whoa, Emma), and behold the third cometh quickly and is of a moro seriou3 nature." This is the result. The whole blooming earth is coming to an end on account of an irresponsible liar in Kansas, who had probably been reporting tho late Kansas legislature and supposed that the American people were prepared to believe anything. By tho way, we should like to know if tho Hon. Eugene Wake was .in the neighborhood of Ossawattomie when this a rolite fell?

We knew the condition of labor in this country was not what it should be, but we never dreamed it was as thus depicted by the Washington 'of; There is in Bu?ßia no tyranny as ignorant and as cruel its- that under which both the laborer and his employer have languished at the hands of labor officials. Thousands of prosperous artisans could bo thrown into idleness and privation without a moment's notice and untold millions of commerce and industry jeopardized by the lifting of one's vicious and irresponsible finger. Men who were happy and contented in their work, who had no fault to find with their circumstances, could be reduced from comfort to penury because some conclave of the bosses ordered it. And all this under a tariif which made the American workingman the best paid, most contented, happiest and most enviable creature on earth! What frightful idiots these American workingmen must be to donate themselves into plavery worse'than Eussian tyranny ! Thout-ands of prosperous artipans thrown into idienep,s and privation without a moment's notice! What a pity! The I4 ought to get two anchors and half a dozen padlocks. With a majority of eighty-five over all the democrats of the houBe ought to pueh thronen a tarifl reform measure in yery short order as goon as the next eession opens. There ought to be no long debate, which could serve no purposs but that of delay. All the urounds of argument havo been gone over thoroughly and the peoplo h'ive ma lo up their minds in regard to them. They had done eo before the last election, andthev voted for reform. They will net only not rbject to expediting matters, but will not regard delay with patience. The republicans adopted summary methods to impose the monstrous burdens of .McKinleyistn upon the people, and tho democracy ehould not be restrained from removing thein by going too far in the direction of fairntss. THE WELSH MINE HORROR. Thlrr j-Tl;reo Corpses Already Taken Out by Kescurcra. Lm'X, April 12. The latest news from Pont-v-l'iiod id to the eflect that the fire in the mine was virtually quenched at about V i o'clock today. The fumes of gas, however, are still eo noxious as to drive out those who undertook to explore the mine in search of the dead and for the rescue of those who might b living. Many of the explorers are suffering severely from the effects of the emoke and the deadly gases which they encountered, lurther search will be necessary to ascertain the iu!i extent of the calamity. At 11 o'clock this evening the pit had become eo cool that three exploring parties v.ero able to descend and go some distance into the seams. They found three ilea 1 men, but discovered no trace of tho main body of miners who wero cut by the liames from escape yesterday. Up to 2 o'clock this morning fifty-three corpses had been taken from the pit. The searching parties had found no signs that any of tho missing miuers were still alive. The bodies of eleven men were found huddled behind a door, ns if they had sought ehedor there from a hurricane of fiery pparks sweeping by. Other bodies were found in the return air ways, where the victims wero caught while probably trying to eseare. A doctor who has examined the bodies reports that all of the victims died of euilocation. There are no external injuries on the bodies. There was no unusual excitement when the bodies were brought to tho surface, as the crowd that had been around the pit mouth all day dispersed at nightfall believing that a search for bodies would be impossible before morning. The eearchmg party are of the opinion that other bodies will bo found ander the piles of debris lying everywhere in the mine. "SHOT BY A ROBBER. An Old Man Murdered While Resisting the Thief. Valpos, Ga., April 14. A terrible crime was eomruitud about sun-down last eveainz seven milea iouth of this plaee, the victim beiiw an old man named John F. Wisanbaker.

Li Those Words Were Used by a Young Negro Just Before He Shot Druggist C. E. Eyster. NO CAUSE FOR THE DEED. The Dastardly Attempt ot Murder Was Made While the Druggist Wos Waiting on His Customers. Thero Was No Warning That the XeKIoch Meant Trouble, and the Attack. W9 Wholly Unexpected Mr. lister Iladly Injured And May Not Recover In the Com motion That Followed the Shooting the Negroes Mako Their Escape. A mysterious shooting affair which may result seriously and cauee the death of C. E. Eyster, a druggist, at the corner of Mississippi and Third-sts., occurred about Ü:4ö o'clock Friday night. C. E. EYSTER. About 9 :.0 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Eyeter were in the etore talking when two colored men, each apparently about nineteen years of ago.entered and asked to be shown a pack of playing cards. The prico did not suit them eo they changed their minds and concluded to take a pair of dice. After paying for them they left the 6tore laughing and joking and appeared to be in the best of humor. Mrs. Eveter went to her rooms upstairs and her husband informed her that he would close up in a few minutes and follow her. She had ecarcely lft the store, however, when the men returned and informed Mr. Eyster that they had concluded not to take the dice and would like to exchange them for cigarettes. 'That'a all right." said Mr. Eyster, "anything yon say goes," and turned around to get the cigarettes. "Well, you are an angel," said one of the men. 'O, that's all right," returned the druggist. "You ere an angol. or at least ought to be," exclaimed the negro and drawing an old-fashioned revolver from his pocket he fired directly at Mr. Eyater, the bullet striking him in the center of the abdomen. The injured man placed his hand on his heart and exclaimed : "My God, I'm shot," and started on a run upstairs, where he met his wife and informed her of what had happened, the negroes in the meantime making good their escape out of the front door. The screams of Mrs. Eyster attracted the attention of Patrolmen Ward and Carter, who were standing on the corner of Fourth and Mississippi-sts., and they hastened to the scene, but too late to prevent the negroes from escaping. Drs. Earp and Browning were summoned and made a hasty examination of the man's injuries an4 gave it as their opinion that he is eeriously if not fatally injured. The bullet entered about the . center of the abdomen and took a downward course. They traced its course for about five or six inches but were unable to find its exact location. The affair is shrouded in the deepest mystery, and Mr. Eyster nor any of his friends can give any reason whatever for the shooting unless it was for the purpose of robbery. This is not a plausible story, however, for no attempt was made to hold him up, and even after the shooting no attempt was made to rob the store. Had robbery been the intention of the men they would have probably taken another course rather than shooting Mr. Eyster,

and the oniy reason assigned tor the act is that they had some grudge against him and took this way of getting even. Mr. Eyster, however, is not inclined Is believe that this is the case, for he fays he has no knowledge of sn enemy among the colored people living in the city. lie describes the men as being rather heavy set, appnrentlv about nineteen years old and wearing soft felt hats.

JOSEPH JEFFERSON. How He Spends Ilia Time at Ilia Baz z-rd'e Hay Home. Mr. M. Fletcher of 43 W. North-at. haa personal acquaintance with the great actor, Joseph Jellerson, who will shortly appear here, b'aid he yesterday to a .Sen iinki. reporter: "Those who admire Joäeph JeiTergon aa an actor would find him quite as delightful socially in his home life. All will regret the burning of his beautiful summer home on Ihizzard's bay, where most of hie time has been epent the last few years when not professionally engaged, and where hospitality has been broadly extended to children, grandchildren ani friends. Mr. Jefferson is genial in disposition and manner, and so unostentatious in dress that a visitor at the bay would scarcely distinguish him from an ordinary rustic. "He is very much interested in local affairs and maybe eeen fraternizing with some neighbr ring 6oil tiller, discussing crops and land improvements, though Mr. Jefferson, unlike the typical farmer, is never found loitering around postoflice or viliago store. Two of his special cronies at Buzzard's bay are President Cleveland and Kichard Vat90n (iiider of the Ovf'rv, who have summer homes nearby. Usually one or. more members of Mr. Jefferson's company ara within call and jolly parties and private theatricals are of frequent occurrence, ileceutly Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Cleveland have completed a carriage bridge over the bay, something long desired but never before accomplished. Sometimes the great actor does not appear among his friends for several days, and then it is known that he ia devoting himself to painting, in which be is a master. Some of his meet valuable j productions wore destroyed in the recent fire. "His chief recreation, however, is taken on the water, sailing, trolling or casting the line from the bridge, for he is an enthusiastic and sktllful fisherman. A branch of the Old Colony railroad crosses the narrow part of the bay jast within eight of Jellerson's place, and ender the bridge the ebb and flow of the tide cause a very rapid current. In tbe security of the foot passengers' way Jefferson and his fellow-anglers congregate, and from thence have exciting tussels with that king of the I bay, the white bass, and the milder blue fish, using ehrirnp lor bait and eometimes letting out the line for 1100 yards belors capturing their prizes."
