ing Something like two years ago a Young
woman named Kate Stewart was a dining
room girl at the Ackley House, at Davenport,
Iowa. When she was child she came here
from Pennsylvania with two aunts, who took
up their residence in Toronto, Clinton county,
leaving her father and step-mother in the Key
stone State. She lived with these aunts until
she came 10 Davenport. Miss Kate used to re-
mark to her acqunintances that she should be
a rich woman some day. The remark was
credited to vivid imagination; but the clerk
William P Qnayie, fell in lore with her, and
she became Mrs. Quayle. After their marriage
they remained in Davenport, where the hus-
band was still employed ut the Ackley. A few
months since they moved TO Leclaire from
which place Mrs. Quayie, four weeks ago, went
TO Pennsylvania TO visit her relatives few
days ago the husband received letter from
his wife, requesting his immediate presence. -
She and her two brothers had been adudged
iightful heirs Of an immense estate in Ireland
she didn't know how much, but lawyers in
Ireland had written it was valued at over
$1,000, 900. 1t had been in chaneery for long
years. It would have been her mothers had
she lived but the mother being dead, the mo-
theirs near relatives had been endeavoring to
get possession OF il, but failed. Copies of the
record establishing the claim of the rightful
heirs had been received by their father in
Pennsylvania, and the presence of the heirs
wanted in Ireland, and they were getting
ready to go.

my in the administration of the Government
aud in the expenditures of public moneys and
that the expenses of carrying on the affairs of
the nation be reduced 10 the lowest possible
limit

Husbandry is not ''Woman's rights" con-
eern, or place for strong-mnded women =
but we recognize the equality of women with
men by admitting them to full membership in
the order.
Resolved, That we cordially invite all farm
ers TO join us in extending to them, their fami-
lies, and their calling, the benefits of the or
der; and we recommend it TO farmers of all
classes in "a bond of union stronger than ar
mics, and one that " i'll not conflict with their
social, religious or political principles.

The Tennessee Riot.
MEMPHIS. Aug. Q.

MEMPHIS, Aug. y.
From Capt. Harvey Mathers. editor of
the Ledger in this city, who returned from
Somervlle this afternoon gives the follow
ing account Of the riot at Somerville The
election of the day before was holly con-
tested, many negroes attended the polls
heavily armed, and some of them openly
threatened to burn the town. During the
day prominent negro politician named
Carl Warren had abused young brother
of Mayor Hendon and yesterday encount-
ering Mayor llendon on the street snapped
his pistol twice in the face who shot HIM
dead. Almost simultaneously two or three
shots were fired at the negro by friends of
the mayor who had collected. among whom
was Oscar Burton who was subsequently
charged with firing at Warren when he
met his death. The negroes who became
very much inccnsed at the death of Warren
threatened to kill Burton, who, about
eleven O'Clock, appeared on the street
armed with double-barreled shot gun
and pistol. Judge Reeves Albert Reevet,
sheriff elect, and Paul Reeves attempted so
arrest Burton. Owing TO a report that a
body of negroes were marching into town.
Burton refused to be arrested and they
opened fire on him, wonnding him in four
places. He returned the fire from shot
gun, MORALLY woundng Paul and Albert
Reeves and then fell himself, but raising on
his elbow drew a pistol and shot j. G.
Reeves in the shoulder A party OF negroes
then opened fire on Burton, shooting him
in II number OF places one OF
them rushing up put pistol to his back
and fired In all he received thirteen
wounds, and if any prove fatal, which the
doctors doubt. it will be the one mentioned
The excitement that followed was intense
Reports spread that negro runners have
been sent to the country to stir up the
various colored societies, and Memphis was
telegraphed to for aid, and many negroes
left town, as was supposed, to procure re-
Inducements, among whom was William
son, who in speech in the canvass said if
the civil rights bill was not passed. he would
ride in blood up to his bride bits Will
hanson was captured last night at Moscow,
but escaped. On the arrival of the mill
tary from Memphis they found the citizens
in arms and the town under strict patrol.
Their arrival was hailed with great joy by
the white citizens, at whose request Capt.
Duncans Chickasaw guards agreed to re-
main until Monday, while the remainder

All anti-Poland

The congressional contest is probably
practically decided, as the intelligence re-
ceived on Saturday places Col. Joyce far
ahead of his competitor, Mr.. Willard.
Col Joyce has secured all but six or eight
of the delegates in Rutland county, and
we iccl confident these gentlemen will not
stand out against the wishes of nine-tenths
of the delegates and republicans OF the
county. lie has also carried a majority OF
the delegates in Addison and Bennington
counties, which will undoubtedly secure
him the nomination OH the first ballot.

A match game of base ball was played
in Rutland on Saturday afternoon, between
the Nameless club Of this place and the
Otter Creek club Of Dandy, resulting in n
victory for the Rutland boys by score of
80 to 10. This is the closest game played
in Rutland during the season, showing
sharp play on the part Of our boys.
Bancroft of the Otter Creek club, while
running in to the home base was hit, by
the ball thrown to the catcher, nearly
square in the eye, causing that organ TO
swell very much and n retirement from the
field, Bruce taking his place. We under
stand that probably nothing serious will re-
suit from the accident. The following is

GLOBE COmpesuTOHs ON TIE
WALK.


Saturday afternoon last was gala day
for the compositors of the GLOBE office.
For some days previous they had been agi-
tating the respective merits of the "solid u
walkers among their number-or, in other
words, the pedestranism of the old-timc
tramps." Saturday being the only holiday
that the night printers have, it was decided
that in the afternoon of that day they
would see who was the "best man; and
in body they repaired to the fair grounds.
After appointing judges, referee, etc, one
lean, lank, big-footcd, cadavcrous looking
comp was pitted against n portly, red
nosed "snooZer.' Both men were in good
condition, and much enthusiasm was mani
Tested by the large crowd which had gath
cred TO see the sport. They started of
finely, and walked very evenly until they
reached the quarter-polc, when the lem in
divdual lead-but only for short distance,
as old "pussy" plainly saw that he had TO
do business, and soon came neck TO neck
with his opponent. When within short
distance from the starting point both men
exerted themselves to their utmost, but they
were SO evenly matched that they struck
the line together, and the walk was decided
a draw.
After the excitement attending this walk
was quoted, three good, substantial
COMPS entered on the track and stripped
themselves for business. They started
fairly, walked squarely, and reached home
in good shape, one "Kimpy Harrington
coming in about fifteen feet ahead,
"Dutchy" in the rear, and "Old Melan-
choly" III the center. This walk was
very amusing, ms the loud huzzas
and hearty laugh q the crowd
plainly indicated. Last but not least, the
little man "IIummy' stripped himself and
challenged the chest man in the party,
when he of the first part (the lean man
again pulled off his coat, brushed his hair
back from his forehead, threw his hat in
great excitement to the ground, and fwore
by '.iimpity-jupiter' that "Shorty" had no
business with him. "Kimpy" started them
fairly, and at the first quarter the ''little
man" began 10 lead, and before they
reached the half it was plainly visible that
the "litile man was to be the victor. A
great hustle and jangle was manifested on
the grand stand by the many friends of
the walkers and large amount of money
was stakcd on their respective men. At
the height of the excitement ON the stand
the clean man" faltered, dropped his
feathers and took the short route home
across the grounds. The ''lltlc man
stuck to his work and came to the scratch
without laying a hair in five minutes and
ten seconds. This was the best time made.
Three cheers and tiger resounded from
the grand stand for the heroic "little
man"
Charles Reed was in waiting with his
city hack for the "boys,' and they were
driven to the refrcshment saloon of Ben
Woolley, where 4 sumptuous repast
awaited them. Speeches were made by
the '1t,le man." Wilson, Goodwin, Smi-
ley, McMilcn and Burritt, when the party
dispersed. Everything passed off finely,
and the day will long be remembered by
those who participated.
