Little Rock, Ark., June 15 —Mrs. Kitter-

the 1'nited Slates court at Fort Smith,
charged with the murder of her husband.
Kitteringer, a feeble old man of 70 years,
was killed Saturday night, June 6, 1894,

Billy Newman, on behalf of Elne, said:
"We are here to fight and are willing to
do so on the terms Mr. o'Rourke stated."
The crowd yelled theli approval, and
then "Sparrow" Robertson entered the
ring and said: "The club has decided to
guarantee the protection desired by the
principals, but the police refuse to allow
the men to box."
"Never mind the police!" yelled several
spectators, and It looked as if a riot would
take place. They quieted down in a couple
of minutes, however, and the seconds of
the men attempted to put on the gloves.
Then Inspector Murphy and Captain Clay-
ton entered the ring and announced that
they would not permit the tight to proceed.
The crowd then left the building.
BETTING STILL GOES.
New York, June 15.—Those pessimists
•who said that racing would come to an end
under the new betting system had to
change their views when they saw the ring
•when the suburban was run to-day. There
were fifty bookmakers and each was kept
busy calling names to his sheetwriter. The
chief interest among the bookmakers and
spectators outside of horses centered in a
quiet but businesslike young man. Riley
Grannon. He moved quietly from stand to
stand betting on Lassarone, first at 12 to 1,
then at 10 to 1, finally cutting down to the
best yiark, 8 to 1. He likewise played Laz-
zarone for a place at 21 a to 1, 11 to 5, 2 to
1 and 8 to 5. He easily won $70,000. Frank
Heard, Lazzarone's owner, won about $20,-
000 on his horse. He got worse odds than
Grannon. Grannon's heavy backing of the
outsider did not alarm the rank and tile
and Domino closed the hottest favorite
ever known at a suburban except Salvator.
The heavy betting on the suburban was
turned toward Sir Walter for a place,
with Domino already a winner. The crowd
thought Sir Walter, being the only possi-
ble competitor of the Keene horse, was a
sure thing for place, and so it proved.
Dr. Knapp, the owner of Sir Walter,
backed him heavily for a place at 0 to 5,
7 to 5 and 8 to o. The tall, bent form of
James R. Keene, witlwu pair of t^ddglasses
swung over his shoulder, was seen push-
ing his way through the twisting line. He
made liberal wagers on Domino, taking 4ii
to 100.
F. A. Hanton, assistant secretary of the
Jockey club, gave out this information this
evening: "The stewards of the Coney Is-
land jockey (dub held a meeting immedi-
ately after the last race at Sheepshead
Hay this afternoon and summoned before
them Messrs. Heard and Donohue, owner
and trainer of Lazzarone, the suburban
winner to-day, to explain the running of
the horse in his previous races as com-
pared wdth his latest performance. Jockey
'Murphy, who rode Lazzarone in his pre-
vious races, not being present, a decision
in the matter was reserved until his state-
ment can be obtained."

THE CORNELLS CRITICISED.
London, June 16.—The Cornell oarsmen at
Henley and their friends are very indig-
nant over a criticism of their costume,
which seems to reflect upon the modesty
and propriety of the costume, appearing in
the Field. The article begins by saying
that they appear In sleeveless jerseys cut
very low, adding that they will do well to
abandon these garments immediately, as
•they can not be worn at the regatta under
the rules and are considered unsightly in
this country. The article then goes on to
say that the Cornell style of rowing is
quite opposite to what was considered cor-
rect by English authorities, and shows no
improvement upon that of previous crews
from America. English opinion at Henley
increases against the chance of the Cornell
men. Their stroke is unfavorably com-
mented upon on all sides. One of the offi-
cials of the regatta said to a reporter of
the Associated Press: "As a man who has
seen the crews here year after year, I tell
you they have not a hundred to one chance
to win,
GREAT ROAD RACE.
Indiana-polis, Ind., June 16.—A great road
race for prizes amounting to about $2000,
offered by bicycle dealers and merchants
of this city, was run off here this morn-
ing. I»t was between Western Union, Post-
al, Indianapolis district telegraph company
and Associated Press messengers. The
♦•ourse was from here to Millersvllle and
r 'turn, a distance of over fourteen milea
lover a ivugh road. Xkue prUt* were vua
Parker to-dav ordered her committed to
jail, she having been out on bond. The
prosecution will endeavor to prove that
Kitteringer was murdered in his house and
taken to the woods where he was round.
The insurance companies which carried the
insurance on Kitteringer's life are deeply
interested in the case. Mrs. Kitteringer
was born in Iowa and lived in Council
Bluffs before her first marriage, where she
Is said to have been well known In society
at one time. She came to the Indian terri-
tory from Colorado with Kitteringer and
George Washington, one of the negroes on
trial with her, came with them. The trial
will last probably a week.
HEAD-END COLLISION.
Four Negro Tramps Ground to Pieces.
Passengers Escape.
Charleston, S. C., Juno 16.—A head-end
collision occurred at 10.05 this morning be-
tween two passenger trains on the Charles-
ton and Savannah road at Yrecasse. The
engines were telescoped and were com-
pletely wrecked; Engineer William Black
breaking his leg. Four unknown colored
tramps who were stealing rides were
ground and cut to pieces. The mall car of
one train was torn to shreds, but Mail
Clerks C. P. Croft and J. P. Beard escaped
injury. The passengers were terribly
shaken up and thrown about, but escaped
serious harm. A relief train sent from Sa-
vannah accompanied by doctors adminis-
tered to the injured. The wreck occurred
through the negligence of an operator in
giving orders.
BEHIND THE BARS.
Toledo, O., June 16.—M. C. McEnery, a
prominent young attorney, and C. P.
Hayes, an alleged detective, are behind
the bars here, charged with blackmailing.
These two men have been working up
cases under the Winn law against keeper.!
of houses of disrepute and have already
filed some twenty of these cases in common
pleas court. The law in question provides
that liquor shall not be sold in such places,
and where a conviction is obtained in a
civil action the offender is subject to a
judgment of $350, half of which goes to the
informers. McEnery and Hayes seem to
have gone Into the prosecution of these
cases as a business venture, but some of
the women keeping these houses now*
charge the pair with working up cases
against them and then offering to settle
for a sum of money in cash, and one of the
women has a receipt for money which she
claims was paid for the settlement of such
a claim. This is the first time such cases
have been pushed under the law in this
state and trie predicament of the men at
the bottom of it has excited considerable
Interest.
Guthrie, Ok., June IS.—Ah-She-Wah-She,
one of the sub-chiefs of the Kaw tribe of
Indians, is in jail here charged with the
very commonplace offense of introducing
whisky in an Indian reservation, but back
of the charge is an interesting story show-
ing well the native cunning of the red man.
Th*1 Kaw tribe is governed by a council of
sub-chiefs, and- one of the standing rules
of th council Is that any Indian who gets
drunk i* to be expelled from the council.
Recently Ah-Sh#-\Vah-8he went to Arkan-
sas t'iiy. looked on the flowing bowl and
t> 11. being locked In the calaboose over
night as a common drunk. This did not
worn him much, but the prospect of being
expelled from the council did. But aft^r
thinking over the matter a happy thought
struck him. He received two jugs of
whisky, went home, and inside of the next
twenty-four hours Induced every member
of th. council to succumb to the seductive
influence of firewater, so that none dare
commence action against him for fear of
exposing his own record. So far all was
well, but the festive deputy marshal heard
of the matter and spoiled all of Ah-She-
Wah-She's speculations by arresting him
for bringing in the w hisky.

Some of Its De'ects and Incongruities
Pointed Out—What Judges of the High
Courts Have Slid.
HOT METEOR STORY.
Tacoma, Wash., June 16.—A special to
the Ledger from Fort Townsend, Wash.,
says:
Last night about 8 o'clock Chlmacum. a
small farming community four miles from
here, « xp< ri< need a terrific jar, the result
of the falling of a 5000 pound meteor,
which burst with a loud noise at the heignt
of KM yards, and after causing a small
sized cyclone for several minutes' dura-
tion, buried itself in the muddy water cf
a neighboring lake. Tho meteor struck the
bottom with force enough to break crock-
ery in a farm house three miles away,
en a ling terror among the residents, who
believed the end of the world had come.
Ten hours after the occurrence the waters
of the lake were still bubbling and seeth-
ing, and were found to be hot enough to
readily cook eggs. Systematic dragging of
the lagoon failed to bring up any traces
of the celestial messenger, which is be-
lieved to be buried deep in the earth.
KILLED BY AN EX-CON VICT.
Mount Sterling, Ky., June 16.—Deputy
Chief of Police Charles Evans was shot
last night by John Johnson, a negro ex-
convict, and died to-day. As soon as
Evans died a mob began to congregate
with the intention of lynching Johnson, but
the officers prevailed, and after Judge
Cooper made an order to hold a special
term of court June 28 to try Johnson the
mob dispersed. Evans had just been mar-
ried to Mrs. Ida Langs-ton, whose first
husband was killed ubout five years ago
by Sam Everett.
FIGHT AT A FESTIVAL.
Huntington, W. Va., June 16.—At a coun-
try festival last night there was a fight.

ond trial of Robert J. Lyons of Bull HIM

bourne, a well known contractor of this
city, was e'hot and killed this evening by

GOMFERS DELIVERS AN ADDRESS.
St. Louis, Mo.. June 16.—Samuel Gonnpers,
the well known labor leader and agitator,
addressed an fudlence of several! hundred^
people at Arsenal island this afternoon on
the topics o<f interest to workingmen. The

members of 'he trades and labor unions.
Mr. Gompers dpoke In behailf of organized
labor, stating at the outset that 2,000,000
people were out of employment against
their Willi.
"Trusts, privileged classes and idle capi-
talists," said he, "are increasing their
power at a wonderful rate. Our national,
state and municipal councils vie with one
another and with the courts In conferring
special privi'liges. If things go on ats they

Austin. Tex., June 16.—(Staff Correspond-
ence.)—While Colonel Corbett and Major
FitEsimmons may not be aware of it, they
are now the all-absorbing topic of conver-
sation in Texas and their names are upon
the tongue of almost every man you meet,
no matter which way you turn. Even the
politicians here at Austin—the granite cap-
itol of Texas—have relegated the momen-
tous questions of finance and other politi-
cal issues for the time being to gather on
the street corners and in the hotel lobbies
and solemnly discuss the legal phase of the
great battle which Is billed to take place
at Dallas on the 31st of October between
Lanky Bob and Pompadour Jim. While
public opinion, including the legal lights, Is
somewhat divided on the question of
whether or not the contest can be pulled
off under existing statutes, those who be-
lieve that it can are overwhelmingly in
the majority, contending that the law is
plainly Insufficient to prevent it. In this
connection It will not be amiss to give the
statute, which is taken from the penal
code, and the full text of which is as fol-
lows :
An act to prohibit prize fighting and pu-
gilism:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the legisla-
ture of the state of Texas, that if any per-
son who shall voluntarily engage in a pu-
gilistic encounter between man and man
or fight between man and bull, or between
men and other animals, for money or other
thing of value, or upon the result of which
any money or anything of value Is b.et or
wagered, or to see which any admission
fee is charged, either directly or Indirectly,
shall be deemed guilty of a felony and
upon conviction shall be punished by a
tin'1 of not less than $500 nor more than
$IU00, and by imprisonment in the county
jail not less than sixty days nor more than
one year.
Sec. 2. By the term pugilistic encounter,
as used In this act, is meant any voluntary
fight or personal encounter by blows by
means of the fists, whether with or with-
out gloves, between two or more men for
money, prize of any character, or other
thing of value, or upon the result of which
any money or other thing of value Is bet
or wagered.
Sec. 3. Any person who shall act as see
ond, stakeholder, counselor or adviser, or
who shall render aid of any such
character for or to the principals or
either of them in any such encounter,
shit 11 be deemed a principal in the of-
fense and shall be punished as prescribed
in section 1 of this act.
Sec. 1. That all laws and parts of laws
in conflict with this act be and the same
are hereby repealed, provided that no con-
viction or acqultal under the provisions of
this act shall be so construed as to prohiMi
a prosecution or conviction of such person
for the violation of any other provision of
the penal code.
This law was passed by the Twenty-
third legislature during the first adminis-
tration of Governor Hogg, and had the
emergency clause attached. It was pre-
sented to the governor on the 23d of
March, 1891, and became a law wlthoirt his
signature. Whether or not Colonel Hogg
declined to give it the stamp of his official
approbation because of its defects and in-
congruities is not known, but it is a mat-
ter of history that he did not sign it. And
this is the law which it is contended is
not worth the paper it Is written on, bo
far as the state's ability to enforce it Is
concerned, and It would appear not with-
out good reasons for such a contention. A
gentleman who stands high at the Texas
bar, and who has In fact been prominently
connected wdth the legal machinery of the
state in the capacity of assistant attorney
general, said to the writer a few days ago
that the law would not hold water for an
Instant. He said further that he had
heard judges of the high courts of Texas
express the same opinion without hesi-
tation, not In regard to the proposed Cor-
bett-Fitzsimmons mill, but In ^peaking of
prize fighting generally.
The principal contention is that* the
statute Is defective and invalid for the
reason that It designates prize fighting as
a felony and proposes to assess a misde-
meanor punishment for the same. This is
clearly a fatal Incongruity, so far as the
general import of the code Is concerned.
In other words, it makes the law a speci-
men of grotesque as well as defective and
ludicrous legislation. You can not find a
man guilty of felony, murder If you please,
and then punish him for his crime wdth
a thousand-dollar fine and a few months
in the county jail. If such a policy should
be pursued a state of anarchy and chaos
would reign and the county jails would be
so full of deeply dyed criminals that their
arms and legs would stick out of the doors
and windows and through the cracks. Yet
this law prohibiting prize fighting proposes
to make a man a felon, rob him of his
right of suffrage, make him Ineligible for
office holding and otherwise outlaw him,
but at the same time let him go free when
he has paid Into the state treasury the piti-
ful sum of $1000 and laid 1n a parish prison
for a few weeks or months.
Then there is sec Won 4 of this renrarka-
ible exhibition of statutory wisdom, which
reads in this wise:
"That all laws and parts of laws In con-
flict with this act be and the same are
'hereby repealed, provided that no convic-
tion or acquittal under the provisions of
t!his act shall be construed to prohibit a
prosecution or conviction of such person
for the violation of any other provision of
the penal code."
This proviso, if it means anything, 1s a.
direct •contravention of The constitutional
guaranty that "no person for the same of-
fense sihall twice be put in jeopardy of life
or liberty." Under such a provision not
only the principals in the Dallas prize
fight, but the seconds, stakeholders, referee
and all "counselors or advisers" could be
branded as felons, debarred from exercis-
ing the rights of citizenship, dismissed
wit'h a tine and j-ail sentence and then tried
again for their life or liberty on the same
Charge in direct opposition 'to the plainest
and most sacred provisions of tihe consti-
tution. It certainly is plain that the fram-
ers of that document never for a moment
contemplated anything of the kind.
It might be contended that it devolves
upon the local peace officers to enforce
t'his law and that it is as much their duty
to prevent a violation of It as to punish
the same; t'hat knowing tihe fight is com-
ing off, it Is tlheir duty to stop It before it
takes place. This Is not a logical conten-
tion, however, in t'hls instance, for several
reasons. To begin with, the civil statute
bearing on this subject was enacted in 1889
under Governor Ross' administration, so
that fights 'between "man and man," as
well as fights between "man and 'beast,"
etc., should be licensed, the sum to be paid
for each exhibition of this kind being fixed
at $500. In view of the fact that t'he local
authorities would naturally hesitate before
engaging in "legalized robbery" before ar-
resting men for doing something which
t'hey had just purchased the right to do in
accordance with the law. and especially
when in doing so said local authorities
would have to act under a criminal statute
which conflicts with t'he state constitution
and whic'h is of doubtful legality, to say
the least. 'Before a local peace officer in-
terferes with a man for availing 'himself
of a privilege he has regularly and legally
tiurchased, that peace officer wants to
mow that 'he 'has both law and justice at
his back.
HAD BEEN THERE BEFORE.
Mr. James Simpson Did Not Want an In-
terview With a Mamma Bear.
Orange. Tex., June 15.—James Simpson, a
farmer living fifteen miles northwest of
Orange, was hunting in the McAlpen thick-
et, a few miles north of Terry, a few days
ago when he discovered two cub bears
up a wdld cherry tree. He took aim at one
of them and fired a bullet through its
head. The cub fell to the ground. He then
shot the other through the neck, it came
tumbling down, too, but was not quite
dead. It beganNto cry plteously and by its
noise brought the old mother upon the
scene just as Simpson was drawing a bead
on a third cub that had started to climb a
neighboring tree. Remembering that his
last cartridge was then under the hammer,
ami having had an unfavorable experience
once before with an infuriated mother
bear, he decided that prudence was the
better part of valor and made haste to
quit the scene. That afternoon, in com-
pany with Silas Bland, who took two old
bear dogs along, he returned to the thicket,
where he found the two cubs, both quite
dead, but the mother and the other cub
had disappeared and the dogs refused to
track them. The dead ones were skinned
by the hunters and the hides carried home.
Simpson says the cubs killed were at least
a year old, very thin, and would not have
weighed over 100 pounds each. While there
are very few now left In the woods near
any settlement, they are plentiful enough
to kill off a great many hogs and calves.

Current Austin Happenings.
Austin, Tex., June 16.—The old confeder-
ate who took an overdose of morphine yes-
terday at the Capitol hotel died this after-
noon. His name was Thomas F. Fuller-
ton. He was a private in the Twentieth
Texas infantry. He could not 'be admitted
at the confederate home for want of room,
and became despondent.
The funeral of Bert Searlght, the young
man who fell from the lig'ht tower yester-
day. was attended by the Governor's
guards and a great concourse of sympa-
thizing friends.
It is proposed at the next city council
session to pass an ordinance to authorise
payment of tax for interest on the dam
bonds by water service receipts. The fight
of the old water company and the city is
waxing hot, and this ordinance would be
expected to deprive the old company of a
great many patrons.

BRYAN ON HIS METAL.
St. Louis, Mo., June 16.—Ex-Congressman
W. J. Bryan of Nebraska, who passed
through here this evening on his way to
Boonevllle, Mo., had this to say of Car-
lisle's refusal to debate with him:
"I am to discuss the sliver question at
the Lexington Chautauqua on July 5, but I
knew nothing of the proposed debate until
I saw Secretary Carlisle's Interview in this
morning's papers. I am willing to debate
with him if the Chautauqua so desires, but
with no idea of acquiring dignity, for I do
not think an American who has so little
faith in his countrymen as to emnloy a
Rothschild-Morgan syndicate to protect the
treasury of the United States has any dig-
nity to impart to others.
"But a debate might afford Mr. Carlisle
an opportunity to explain some things con-
cerning which he has been studiously si-
lent. As to the charge that I am a popu-
list, I would say that I am a democrat and
have always been a democrat. *1 am not
now a populist and have never been a
populist. 1 said in Nebraska in 1893 that
1 would not follow the democratic party
to the gold standard If it ever adopted a
gold standard platform. I repeated this at
Jackson, Miss., in reply to a question, but
I have always said that I did not and I do
not now believe the democratic party will
ever declare for a gold standard.
"The struggle in the democratic party is
to determine whether the gold bugs can
use the organization as a vehicle for the
advancement of plutocracy or whether the
party will stand upon democratic princi-
ples.
"The silver democrats expect to control
the next national convention and I have no
doubt that Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle
will either bolt or vote the republican
ticket."

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Little Rock, Ark., June 16.—The supreme
court yesterday handed down several Im-
portant decisions. Among them was the
case of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern railway vs. the state of Arkan-
sas. The cause for complaint was that
separate waiting rooms for the white and
African races had not been provided at
Wilmot depot. The railroad company de-
murred to the Indictment because it did
not set up facts sufficient to constitute a
criminal offense against the laws of Ar-
kansas. The demurrer was overruled and
exceptions were taken. The court ren-
dered a verdict of guilty and enforced a
fine of $1000. An appeal was taken by the
defendant to the supreme court. The
court reversed the decision of the lower
court because the law does not contem-
plate requiring the road to rebuild depots
at every station, and Wilmot is only a flag
station.

CAUSE OF IRELAND.
Plan on Foot to Seek Freedom From Brit-
ish Rule Outside of Parliament.
Chicago, 111., June 16.—A special to the
Recorder from Indianapolis says: The
Irish-American club of this city, compose*!
of 300 of the most Influential Irishmen in
the city, last night approved the move-
ment which is secretly under way through-
out the LTnlted States looking to the eman-
cipation of Ireland and a resort to arms.
The club has raised several thousand dol-
lars for the emancipation fund and one of
the members is authority for the an-
nouncement that nearly $2,000,001 has al-
ready been raised in the United States. It
is announced that some time this summer
the sympathizers with tht moyement will
hold a national encampment, probably in
Baltimore or Boston. The members of the
local league say that the Irish national
league of New York is the hea l of the
movement. The following resolutions were
adopted by the league here:
Whereas, a convention of Irish-Amerl-
cans has been proposed for the purpose of
organising a new movement for Irish In-
dependence by means outside of parlia-
mentary agitation: and
Whereas, we consider that parliamentary
agitation is demora »'ng the Irish people
ami destructive of Irish manhood.
Res Ived, that we approve of the pro-
posed convention and the Inauguration of a
new Irish movement on lines outside of
parliamentary agitation, and pledge our
moral and flnanc .»1 support to whatever
pilcy the convention may adopt; and be it
further
Resolved, that we hereby request the co-
operation of ill Irishmen who desire the
complete emancipation of the motherland
from British rule and of all societies an I
organisations, whether saola'l, benevolent,
patriotic, military, temperance, athletilc or
otherwise.
The committee that signed the resolutions
is composed of Dr. Michael E. Young, IM.
J. Nonnlx and M. J. Burns.

FIRE RECORD.
MRS. SAYERS ENTERTAINED.
Taylor, Tex., June 15.—Tuesday afternoon
last Mrs. John W. Parker entertained Mrs.
Joseph D. Sayers, wife of Hon. Joseph D.
Sayers, congressman from this district.
Mrs. Parker was assisted by Mrs. W. W.
Dimmitt of Georgetown. Mrs. C. H. Welch
of Taylor and Mrs. Claybrook of Austin.
Mrs. Parker's handsome home looked es-
pecially attractive. In the spacious halls
stood tropical palms, while La France and
American Beauty roses everywhere
throughout the house lent of their beauty
and fragrance; mantels banked to their
mirrors, and rose jars and vases were
sweet wdth the perfume of flowers and
maidenhair ferns. Refreshments were
served.
HEAVY DAMAGE.
Leonard, Fannin Co., Tex., June 16.—As
farmers come in, the reports of consider-
able damage in the county by the heavy
rain yesterday are confirmed. The bridges
east of town were all swept away, some
farms badly washed and cotton and corn
beat Into the ground. Some strips were
almost denuded of vegetation and soil.
West of town the damage Is not so marked,
though bridges, posts and barbed wdre
fences were washed away. The farm of
John C. Neale is damaged at least $5U0.
Tht? water flowed through the streets as
through a river channel. Estimates of the
damage run in to the thousands.
pr
In view of these facts, the general im-
:<ession seems to be—and The News corre-
spondent 'has talked with jurists from one
end of the state to the other—that the only
Chance to prevent tihe pulling off of the
CorbettnlPitzsimmonB battle at Dallas is
for Governor Culberson to obey the behest
of the ministers and Christian Endeavors
and convene the s>olons in extraordinary
session for the patssage of a law to fit the
occasion. And what guarantee is there
■that the legislature would pass such a law
after it Convened? It was demonstrated
during the regular session that the mem-
bers could not be driven or coerced by t'he
executive lais'h—t'hat they had minds of
their own. Many things that the executive
ftuid frkwuld bu siuuw mm mill uiulout. Tiie
JEALOUS HUSBAND'S DEED.
Louisville, Ky., June 16.—Arthur Gourdin,
a shoemaker, living at Rowlington, a sub-
urb of Pewee Valley, eighteen miles from
here on the Louisville and Nashville road
shot and probably fatally wounded Thomas
Murphy and then stabbed his wife to death
at 6 o'clock to-night. Gourdin suspected
Murphy of being intimate with his wife.
The dead woman leaves four children,
ranging from 1 year to 13. Gourdin was
arrested and placed in jail at La Grange,
Murphy's condition Is critical and he will
probably die before morning.
FIFTY LASHES EACH.
South McAlester, I. T., June 16.—A Creek
Indian received fifty lashes upon his bare
back at the Creek court house. He was
convicted in the Indian court of marrying
a woman closely related to him by blood,
which is prohibited by Creek laws. The
woman also received fifty lashes in a like
manner, ^iu law la so univarsally upheld i by. tiler.
FOREST FIRES RAGING.
Bradford, Pa., June 10.—A terrible forest
fire is raging between Mount Jewett and
Kuesha. The fire extends along the New
York, Lake Erie and Western, and Buffa-
lo, Rochester and Pittsburg roads, for a
distance of seven miles. The town of Kue-
sha had a narrow escape from destruction.
A report from 'Mount Jewett satys 't'he fire
is now rapidly advancing over the "hill to
IvueMha, and grave fears are entertained
for the safety of the town. A special en-
gine left 'Mount Jewett at midnight last
night for the scene of the conflagration.
Elis'ha Kane's loss will amount to $100,000.
If the wind should shift a much greater
damage will be done.
JACOBS' THEATER.
New York, June 17.—Jacobs' theater on
Third avenue was destroyed by fire this
morning at 12.50, from an unknown origin.
Immediately adjoining the building on the
northwest a five-story tenement stands, on
the basement floor of which is Grundy's
saloon. This building caught and all the
inmates, being asleep, were taken out by
main force. So far as known no one was
seriously hurt.
The roughest estimate of loss on the
theater and contents Is put at $20,000. The
buildings adjoining are estimated to be
damaged and partially destroyed at a loss
of $100,000. At 2 o'clock the fire was report-
ed to be under control.
LOCAL OPTION.
Tex.,
Waco, Tex., June 15.—Secretary R. L.
Jones of the anti-prohibition campaign
committee, in response to a request for
the final figures, gave out the following:
Authentic returns are In from every
voting precinct. The majority against pro-
hibition is 2788. The total vote In the
county was 9512, the largest vote ever
polled in McLennan county. The pros car-
ried 9 boxes in the county, their majorities
in all aggregating 392. The aiitls carried 32
boxes, their majorities In all being 3380.
In Waco the wards gave anti majorities
follows: First ward, 665 majority out
of a total o-f 811; Second ward, 182 major-
ity out of a total of 600; Third ward, 296
majority out of a total vote of 902; Fourth
ward, 593 majority out of a total vote of
1153; Fifth ward, 75 majority out of a total
vote of 339, making a total majority in the
city of 1811. The expressed purpose of
some of the prohibitionists of petitioning
for a local option election in justice pre-
cinct No. 1, including Waco and eight
rural voting precincts, will doubtless be
abandoned When It is seen that we could
give them every vote In the country pre-
cincts and, with our majority in the city
of 1811, b.»at them 380 votes. The pros
only carried 2 out of 13 voting precincts
in justice precinct No. 1, namely: Hewitt
by 36 malority and Whitehall by 19. Dr.
Cranfill's box, the auditorium, and Prov-
ident Hill, went anti by 28 majority. The
pros did not carry a single box east of the
Brazos river. Five of the pro boxes, name-
ly: CraWford, Coke, McGregor. Moody and
Eddy, were in the extreme western por-
tion'of the county, along the Gulf, Colora-
do and Santa Fe railway. One of these,
McGregor, refused to adopt local option for
itself a few months a-go and is now a wet
town. The others are all dry. Axtell, the
only other wet town outside Waco In the
county, gave the antis a majority of 60
out of 112 votes. In 1885, when the pro-
hibitionists made their first effort to adopt
local option in McLennan county, the ma-
jority against them was 2061 out of a total
of 5913. In 1887 this county recorded 990
majority against the prohibition amend-
ment to the constitution out of a total
vote of 7856. In that memorable contest the
antis won the fight in Waco by only 29
vofcas.
Terrell, Kaufman Co., Tex., June 15.—
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather of yesterday and this morning,
an unusually heavy vote was polled in the
city to-day on local option. There were
1253 votes polled in the three wards, as fol-
lows: First ward, antis 371, prohibitionists
113; Second ward, antis 250. pros 100; Third
Ward, antis 208, pros 211, giving the antis
a majority of 4a"> votes in Terrell. Three
other boxes have been heard from, Elmo,
anti majority of 23; Kaufman, anti ma-
jority of 50, and Lawrence, anti majority
of 3. The returns from the other boxes
are slow in coming In, but from present
indications the antis have carried the coun-
ty by a majority of 300 to 400. Two ar-
rests were made here for Illegal voting,
otherwise the day passed off very quietly.
Terrell, Tex., June 16.—One additional
box has been heard from, Locust Grove,
giving an anti-prohibition majority of 20,
whic'h swells the antis' majority to 443.
There are yet seven boxes to hear from.
The county has gone wet by between 600
and 600.

Most of the Indian tribes had some form
of belief in a future existence, and nearry
all indicated this belief by placing food on
the graves of the dead or providing imple-
ments and arms for use in another world.

Mexico has the largest Indian population,
20,521; then comes South Dakota, with 19.-

bers.
Bank notes or "flying money" were first
Issued In China 2697 B. C. These notes wore
printed in blue Ink on paper from the fib:r

at St. Petersburg.
Birds differ very much in the heights to
which they commonly ascend. The con-
lor, largest of vultures and of all flying
birds, has been observed soaring over 20,000
feet, or about five miles and a half above
'the level of the sea.
The word Arabia Is of doubtful etymol-
ogy. The most probable conjecture Is that
which derives it from the Hebrew Arebek,
a wilderness or desert, In which case
Mount Horetb mlrht seem to have given Its

Germans travel many hundred miles to
Leipzig to merely eat a dinner of larks.
Such is the slaughter of larks at Leipzig
fair that as many as half a million are an-

Down to the end of September, 1893,
there were 2486 lodges on the roll of the
grand lodge of Freemasons of England,
which lodge recognizes only two species of

erful.
"Red hand" was the legal designation)
given to the crime of unlawfully slaying
the deer, when caught in the act; hence
; phrase, which really is stronger, of red-
handed applied to criminals detected in the
act. The red hand in heraldry denotes a
baronet.
In some Japanese temples may be seen
suspended great ooils of rope woven from
human hair. Such ropes, made of hair
sacrificed by thousands of women and

"Paddy," applied by the English wdthln
the pale to the Irish, is said by Gibbon
(volume vl, chapter 36) to be a corruption
of "Patrlcius," an illustrious name, as-
sumed by the meanest subjects of the Ro-
man empire, and communicated to a whole
nation by the conversion of Ireland.
In the observatory at Pekin they have
records of eclipses of the sun whlcn carry
them back to 2000 B. C. Again, the Chinese
praying mac'hine, into which one repeats
players, which are duly given forth again,
was but the forerunner of the phonograph.
The play and the novel were known to the
Chinese centuries ago.
There seems to be no doubt that the um-
brella was first Introduced Into Italy from
the east and thence found Its way into Eu-
rope. The applicability of the Instrument
as a defense from rain was quite an after-
thought, and it was originally, as in the
east, only used to protect the person from
the rays of the sun.
A good cement for china and glass is
formed by heating the white of an egg
very clear and mixing it with pounded
stone lime, unslacked, and sifted through
muslin, or Isinglass and lime as just men-
tioned, mixed together and a little water
added. The mended articles are to be set
in the shade to dry, and not before the
lire.
The Scotch farmers who migrated to
England thrive well. In Herefordshire Mr.
Spencer, the royal commissioner, admits
that the Scotchmen have fared better than
the native fanners, Inasmuch as they have
more readily adapted themselves to the
altered circumstances of farming, and by
thrift and personal hard work have suc-
ceeded in cutting down the outgo wings of
the farm.
