No DoSATIoN.-Judge Bross, of the
Alexander County Court, was in favor of
making the subscription to the stock of
that road an absolute donation, and de-
sired to call an election for the purpose
but the other two members of the court
opposed it, consequently no election has
been called.-AlOnud city Journal.
Quite number of facts have transpired
that are sadly out of harmony with this
statement; but if it be true, there is little
or no cause for disagreement between
Judge Bross and the people. He is in
favor of exactly what nine-tenths of the
citizens of Cairo favor, and, consequently
the warfare against him was waged under
an erroneous impression.
Let him, tomorrow night announce
himself in favor Of the donation contract,
when ratified by the people, and the Cairo
and Vincennes railroad problem will be
put in fair way for solution.

DESPERATE AFFRAY.
Bloody Shooting Affair I'm Mississippi-Ou
of the Parties Shot Three Times

Bloody Shooting Affair In Iississippi-One
of the Parties Shot Three Times.
The Memphis Avalanche of Saturday last says:
A shooting affray occurred Thursday evening
at Harrison, small station on the Mississippi
and Tennessee Railroad, in Tallahatchie county,
Mississippi, between young gentleman named
Fred. Craig and man named Coggeshall, rep
resentative elect from that county to the Legis-
lature. Abut 5 o'clock in the evening Mr.. Craig
walked up to where Coggeshall was standing in
front of one of the stores and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION concerning some language which he
had used. Coggeshall was standing at this time
with both hands in his pockets, and when young
Craig asked him for an explanation he pro-
ceeded to give it by pulling couple of Derrin-
ger pistols, cooked, and one in each hand,
which he pointed directly at Craig's head, who
was standing within feet of him. That would
have been explanation enough for most men.
But Craig instead of saying that was all he
wanted, struck Coggeshall violent blow in the
face, turning. him about half way around.
trigger of his. right-hand pistol but
which, fortunately for young Craig, did not ex-
plode the cap, and by the time he could use his
left hand pistol, Craig had drawn his revolver,
and both men fred at the same time, Cogge-
shalls ball passing over Craig's head, while the
latter shot him in the left breast, the ball
glancing around the bone and producing a
serious flesh wound. AS soon as he was shot,
Coggeshall started to rum and had got off about
thirty PAGES distant when Craig again fired, this
time striking him in the calf of his left leg.
Turning, Coggeshall fired his remaining shot
from the pistol which would not go. the first
time, and missing Craig who was standing still,
he again started off in run. He got away
about fifty yards before Craig fred his third and
last shot, which struck him in the lower portion
of his back. This shot brought him to the
ground, seeing which Craig put up his revolver
and walked off. Yesterday morning. although
all three of the bullets were still lodged in his
body, Coggeshall was reported to be resting
easily and with fair chance of recovery. The
difficulty was strictly personal one.

A Man Dies from the Bite of Dog Re-
ceived Four Years Previously.
A correspondent of the Scranton Republican
writes:-
The streets of Ashley were thrown into a
fever of excitement Yesterday by the report
that a man had died from hydrophobia, and,
alas the report proved too true. The case is
both remarkable and horrible About four years
ago John Bennett was bitten in the hand by a
mad dog. The wound was small and soon
healed. He has been in good health and was of
sound mind, and no unnatural mad actions
were noticeable until few days ago, when
the men at work with him in
the mines noticed a wild expression about
his face and a peculiarity in his manners
at times he would stare at them with fero-
cious look, similar to that of a mad dog, but as
these symptoms of mania were of but mo-
ment's duration, it was not mentioned. On
Wednesday he was taken sick and confined to
his bed. After being confined to his bed he
could not bear the sight of water, and in a
short time it was evident that he was suffering
with hydrophobia. The day passed and the
suffering increased; the suffering had become SO
intense that he foamed at the mouth, and last
night he expired. A few minutes before he
died he said he was suffering greatly by pain
in his breast, showing that he was sensible to
the last. 1t is said by those who saw him die
that it was the most heart-rending scene they
ever witnessed.

OBITUARY.
M. Jecker.

Among the victims of the Paris Communists
was NJ. Jecker, well known as a banker, and
prominent at one time in the finances of Mexico.
He was born In Switzerland during the early
part of the present century; but went to Paris
when quite young man and engaged in financial
pursuits. He first became known during the
administration of Almonte in Mexico. Alnonte
employed him to negotiate loan, which he did
at so low rate that he was publicly charged
with swindling the Mexican Government. On
presenting his claim it was at once rejected, and
although M. Jecker persistently pressed 1t, none
of the several governments would recognize its
validity. On the establishment of the empire,
however, Maximilian agreed to pay the claim,
and Jecker was employed to negotiate another
loan. Whether he ever got the money is proble-
matical; but as he was a man of great wealth
the loss, If he did lose anything, did not affect
his fortunes. 80

Terrible Ravages on Long Island-Physi-

The prevalence Of that dread disease, small
poX is now greater on Long Island than ever
before. At Hunters Point it has broken out
with renewed fatality. An hospital has been
established at Dutch Kills, adjacent to two
railroads, and to this fact is attributed its
general prevalence. DR.. Wood, Health Officer
of Jamaica, informed a Telegram reporter
that he knew of cases of smallpox that
physicians were treating as measles, and deaths
had occurred from that cause. At Far
Rockaway this was the case, and the people did
not hesitate to pay the usual tribute to the de-

rails at midday. A family from Jamaica went
to Rockaway to funeral. When they returned
the mother took sick Her physician prescribed
for the measles, and she soon died. The neigh
bors all attended the funeral. The child was
next taken sick. DR. Wood was called in and
found it to be i'll with black smallpox. An ex-
animation of the father revealed the fact that
his person was covered with IT,, but in an
undeyeloped stage. The neighbors became horri-
fed at this revelation and buried their clothing
in the woods.
At Stony Brook, all the children of one
family were taken with smallpox. 1t was sup
posed to be case of measles. A woman; sent
her children into the house that they might
catch 1t; but instead they were taken with the
smallpox. and some of them have died.-N.. y.

Discovery of a Cave Containing Human
Remains In Cecil County.
The Pilot Town correspondent of the Cecil
Wing tells the following strange story
John s. Love and Napoleon Lee discovered
last winter while working on the railroad, some
thing that appeared to be cave, with the
mouth or entrance filled with stone. They took
some tools to- day (23d instantly and took away
the stones and found a cave fifteen or twenty
feet long, under rock, and in it the bones of a
man of ordinary size. The skull and under jaw
There were two Indian darts about five inches
long, and sea-shell about the size of tea cup,
interspersed with red spots and large pieces of
mica. The inside of the cave had the appear
ance of being burned. The cave is on R. Alex
ander's farm, between the Bald Friar aud the
Head of the Old Maryland Canal I think from
the appearance of the darts that he had been

school Girl Takes Her Life Because She
had Committed Trivial Offense.
The Chicago Post of Saturday evening says:-
The following announcement appeared in
yesterday mornings papers, in the place as
signed for death notices.
sat the residence OF william McLain Lizzie, r.
Westcott, aged 16 years and months"
On Thursday night this young girl retired to
rest in perfect health. In the morning she was
dead. Coroner Stephens proceeded to the house
yesterday afternoon and held an inquest. From
the evidence submitted IL become apparent that
the poor girl had deliberately committed sui
eide, and the jury found accordingly. The sad
story, as developed before the inquest showed
that the girl was of highly sensitive organiza-
tion, and had taken her own life because of the
remorse which had followed the commission of
q comparatively trivial offense. On Wednesday
afternoon, she listened to the invitation of a
young man TO take boat ride with him on the
basin. To account to the teacher for her alb
sence, her friend wrote note, sign
ing Mrs. McLain's name, and saving
that Lizzie had been detained at home. The
deception she had practised so proved upon her
that she confessed her fault to her aunt Mrs.
McLain mildly reproved her. The fault aud the
reproof sank deeply into her mind, and she de-
clared to the friend who was her companion on
the boat ride that she would commit suicide.
He laughed at her threat, thinking 1t nothing
more than idle talk; but the girl was in earnest.
Upon retiring for the night, and after taking a
more than usually affectionate leave of her
aunt, she took dose of morphine. The drug
quickly performed its deadly mission. The
corpse of the girl was found in her bed in the
morning.
