WALKERTON INDEPENDENT. WALKERTON, - - , INDIANA. TO AVENGE TARSNEY. COLORADO SPRINGS IS WILDLY EXCITED. HIU Withdraws Ills Amendment—Gigantic Strike, in Sympathy with Fullman Employes, Inaugurated by American Kailway Union —Killed by a Locust's Sting. Rumors of all sorts of contemplated outrages are in the air at Colorado Springs, Colo., and the mails are burdened with thrilling letters. W. H. Brooks, who has mines at Cripple Creek, and was the first mine owner to require nine hours for a day’s work, received warning that a band of miners intended to take him out and serve him as General Tarsney had been served. Sheriff Bowers received the following letter: “Unless the cowardly rascals who attacked General Tarsney are arrested by Monday, your city' will be burned up.” Hill’s Decided Views. ’“Tn tlie Senate Tuesday morning Mr. Hill withdrew his tariff amendnurnt to exempt from taxation the income of United States bonds, so exempted by the ’aw of their issuance, and ho sutrgested to make the clause read “the Srincipal and interest of which ae, y the law of their issuance,” etc. That suggestion was accepted by Mr. Vest on the part of the Finance Committee and the clause was so modified. Then Mr. Hill said he had of-, sered his amendment last Saturday to call attention to the tact that $635,003,000 of property was by this clause taken out of the taxable . I roperty of the country. He then offered an amendment to include within the exemption the bonds of a State, J county, municipality, or town, and he madoan argument In support of that 1 amendment. Mr. Vest argued against it. The result of such legislation, he । said, would bo io put an enormous premium on those securities of the j country. Mr. Hill argued tha-t with 1 this new income tax on State and municipal bonds the people who buv them would insist on a higher rate of interest. Mr. Hill's amendment was rejected by a vote of 25 to 30. Canal a Success. The financial success of tho gr at Manchester ship canal, about which there has been much doubt, appears to be assured. A rep rt from United States Consul Grinnell, at Manchester, states that the revenues from tolls and dues for the five months ending May I were $33,701, which more than covered all expenses c nnected with the traffic, including wages, salaries and stores, rates and a full proportion of office expenses. Tho traffic in the time covered was made up of 211.915 tons in ships, 63,785 in barges, and 323,056 passengers. Pullman Cars Boycotted. The great boycott of the American Railway Unim against the Pullman Company was begun at noon Tuesday. Police are on guard in all railway yards in Chicago where Pullman cars are used, and the companies are making every preparation to run their trains despite the boycott.

The wound imediately began to swell, and the young lady suffered excruciating pain and very scon lost her power of locomotion. A physician was called, but failed to relievo the patient, who soon died in great agony. A NUMBER of Lower Brule Sioux Indians concluded that they wished to visit their brethren at the lower agencies, so they left their reservation at Chamberlain, S. D., without the necessary permission. A strong force of Indian police is now in close pur.-uit, and will force them to return to their reservation. Dr. Brice. Secretary of the Provincial Board of Health, has noticed a case of lepresy in Niagara Falls, Ont. The Medical Health Office in that place examined the man and found him tainted with the disease. The unfortunate man was at once isolated. He will likely be sent to the Lazaretto in Tracidie, N. B. This is the first case in Ontario. Policeman Neuschaffer, of New York, bought forty clams for 25 cents of a street vender and took them homo. Opening one of the bivalves he found a jearl weighing sixty-five grain*, perfect in form and composition. It is symmetrical, about the size of a th imb nail, and is pronounced one of tho largest clam pearls ever discovered. A jeweler in Maiden Lane estimated its value at $2,000. Gov. Greenhalge, of Massachusetts, has vetoed the bill to allow the American Bell Telephone Company to increase its capital slock to $50,060,000.

A sad case of double drowning took place at tho 43d street bridge in Lawi renceville,Pa. Henry and Andrew Lear, aged 12 and 10 respectively, were in bathing when Andrew got beyond his depth. Neither boy could swim, but Henry bravely went to the rescue of i his brother. ‘The little fellow, who was sinking, clasped his arms around the other’s neck and both were drowned. Fifteen m nute- later their bodies were recovered sti'l clasped tightly in each other’s embrace. The tug Jam ss D. Nichol, with six-ty-three excursionists and a crew numbering ten or twelve, sunk Sunday afternoon three miles off New York harbor. Fifty-four of those on board have been accounted for. The rest were drowned. The tug had been to ! the fishing grounds. She had. it - is said, a license to carry fifty pas- ! sengers, but sixty-thrde tickets' were ■ sold. The tug reached the banks on ' time, but the fishing was poor and the sea too rough for comfort and about n ton she starte I back. The waves began to break heavily over her star- ; board rail. To do'lge the water : and wind the passengers began to run around to the port sid- and to climb on top of the deck house. The j boat careened alarmingly to port and \ the water swept in over the rail. The terror-stricken men rushed lack ;to starboard and the tug swung ■ deeply down on that side. At tho , same moment three heavy breakers I struck the boat in quick sue; ession. ! The captain, William H. Yatt, sounded the whistle in a prolonged scream for help. Evt nas he did so she went down like a stone. The water choked ' the cry of the whistle, but not before ;it bad been heard and heeded. Beats * near by responded and saved fifty-four people. western.

Wednesday evening Omaha was swept by one of the strongest storms experienced in years. Shade trees and shrubbery were blown down, and in some places traffic was blocked by tree i falling across the street. At Jefferson square, near the center of the city, nearly every tree was; blown down. A part of the roof o® the Woodman linseed oil works wa« blown off and the Murray Hotel w^ partially unroofed.

At Lincoln, Neb., the storm was similar to the one in Omaha, only a severe gale with no serious damage and no loss of life, as far as could be learned. Passengers coming in on the Burlington train which passed through the storm report that damage in tho country was but slight. From all directions word comes of high wind and light ram. It seems to have been merely a s juall at the close of an untisua ly hot and sultry day. SOUTHERN. Engineer Starr wa fatally inj ired n a wreck on the Georgia Central Railroad, near Miller.

Nevertheless, Mexican troops will thoroughly investigate the ; affair. j A long step forward was taken Fri--1 day in the movement among the New i York banks to stand between the ' Treasury Department and further de- ; pletion of the gold reserve. There i had I een no doubt since a recent conference of bank presidents that the relief needed would be furnished, although the conference took no binding action. The latest mo. ement amounted to a definite assurance that the gold which the Subtreasurv has lost would be replaced within a day or two. It carrie 1 with it an imp’ied promise that the banks would meet further demands in the same way, to carry the. Treasury over the period of July disbursements. From that time gold will be expected to How back from Europe. Washington dispatch: After all the time spent by the court-martial which tried Lieut. Maney for the murder of

' Capt. Hedberg at Chicago, the find- ' ings of that tribunal, a reprimand for the accused, will be disapproved by the President of the United States. Ever si ce the court met at Fort Snelling some weeks ago for the trial of Lieut. Maney there have been rumors as to the character of tho findings, ar/1 a story was sent out after tho adjournment of tho court that the court-martial had concluded tj e mpel a forfeiture of pay and allowances for one year. But no one cutside of the co;;rt-room dreamed that such a light tentance as a mere reprimand woulJ bo imposed for such a grave crimo as the killing of a brother officer. After all the te-timony had been submitted and tho case had boon thorough y investigated by this army court, its members decide that a fit punishment would lea reprimand lor tho offender; anl that is as far as they go into the m itter. To say that tho War Dopartmont officials are oxasporatod over this finding is putting it mildly. It is in tho province of tho President to make such a ruling oi- order as he mav see fit in promulgating tho sontenco of tho court, and from the tenor of previous conversati ns with tho Secretary of War < n tho subject it is expected that a scathing arraignment will emanate from the White House. Ever since tho mistrial, as ti.e War Department authorities callo l it. in tho civil J proceed ngs against Lieut. Maney there has been prevalent at tho War De- I I partment an opinion that tho young I Lieutenant morited dismissal from tho I 1 service, T FOREIGN, | Forty-six adiitional deaths from I the plague have been reported at Hong j Kong.

TIGERS AND THEIR PREY. Some Information as to How They Make Their Attack. A correspondent who has seen a great deal of forest life in India writes on the subject of how tigers secure their prey. As a general rule, he is inclined to doubt th ■ truth of the commonly accepted theory that the tiger, after’lurking in ambush, springs oh to the unsusi ecting victim, and. tearing savagely at his throat, eagerly drinks his blool. This method of attack may sometimes be adopted, but it is far “more often the exception than the rule. In approaching his prey the tiger makes the best possible use of cover, but when further concealment is impossible he will course a deer or other swift footed animal with extraordinary speed. A sudden dash of 2CO yards in the open is nothing uncommon, ana the writer mentions the case of one tigress which u ed to catch hogs or deer almost daily on a perfectly open and burned-up plain. Small animals are, for the most dispatched with a blow of the paw: but in the case of the more bulky, the expe ienced tiger, leaping on the back of his victim, grips the neck, in front of the withers with his jaws, one forepaw clasping the shoulder of the animal and the other fully extended under the throat. Shou’d he be unable t > crush tne spine w.th his jaws, he will then jerk the head back vio’ently and thereby break the neck. In removing his prey the tiger frequently displays almost “phenomenal strength and activity. In one ciso cited, a young ti-gre-s leaped up a perpendicular rock, some six feet high, with a man weighing nearly eleven stone in her aws. and on another occasion a male t'ger dragged an exceptionally large buffalo up a bank at least ten feet high.
