Ii was Dan Spencer who gave the lit
| tic remiuiseence OF the Albany lawyer,
who came up to Bennington to try q case
in the Supreme Court. When the court
adjourned at evening the hearing was
enly so far concluded that the gentleman
from Albany had made his argument; (;
the court had his papers aud his points,
and In the evening met at the Chief Jus
tees room Ia the hotel to consider aud
deliberate. The Albany attorneys room
was adjoining, Through the intervening
partition wall there was crock hole or
aperture for stove pipe to pass. Al
bany was on the Qui pirc to learn what
the Supreme Bench thought of his argu-
ment, his points aud chances. To get a
little clearer understanding OF the re-
marks they made, he noiselessly mount.

ed his car at the inopportune hole, The
sonorous words OF Judge Williams he
could distinctly hear. The slow, quiet
opinion of Judge Royce, aiterward Chief
Justice, however powerful ii might be
for Albanian's veal or woe, was not Civ
Ell loudly enough TO reach the listening
lawyers anxious ear. Judge Redheld,
then in his early apprenticeship on the
ch,which lasted through long career
with all its honors, had, as he always bad
many things to say, but he said them in a
falsetto tone that did not penetrate be-
yond the obtrusyc partition. Then Al
bany, more nervous than calcuIative,
ventnred to thrust his head into the
large old-tashioned crock when, raira5tle
dictu, out from under him went the
treachorous chair, and left him dangling
in the air,with only fitful aud uncertain
hold upon the scroll-work of the eornice
overhead TO save him from decapitation
or strangulation. Immediately the
strangling eavesdropper gurgled yelled
and kicked The aflrighted judges upon
going to his rescue, very speedily took
in the situation. OF which Dan Spencer
used to say that Chief Justice Williams
told him tho court deliberated quite
awhile as to whether they should break
the crock and save the lawyers head, or
break his head and save the crock. They
finally gave the prisoner the benefit of the
doubt, and the stalward shoulders of the
chief Justice afforded agcnerous standing
place for the imperiled counsellor. Soon
after his rescue he left by stage for home
where be afterward learned by due
course of mail, that in the opinion of the
court he had earned and won his case. ,

Spanish Laws and Treaties.
WASHINGTON, August 9

WARRINGTON, August "a.
1t has been ascertained from a reliable
source that Spain, instead of carrying into
effect the understanding of the Fish-Polo
protocol, namely, to investigate the con-
duct of those of its authorities who have
iniringed on the Spanish laws or treaty
obligations, and to punish those who may
have offended has made demand for in
demnity in the affair of the Virginius and
for other alleged wrongs suffered by Spain
owing to the filibustering expeditions fitted
out in this country, and landing or attempt
ing to land men and munitions of war on
the Spanish coast. To this de-
mand our government has replied in firm
but courteous terms, asserting the untena-
bleness of the position of the Spanish gov
eminent and reminding it of the remssness
or the lnexcusable delay in making repara-
ton for the wrongs suffered by American
citizens IN person and property. The
latest information from Minister Cushing
is that he is still pressing our demands on

From China.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "a.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "a.
The Pacific mail steamer Japan arrived
here with dates from Hong Kong TO July
%, and from Yokohama to August 3. The
North China News says that whatever may
be the issue of the present negotiations
upon the Formosan question, the officials
in charge of Shanghai arsenal are evidently
more than ordinarily anxious about their
ornaments and the probabilities of war.
Unusual activity prevails In the ordnance
department at Kaouchang for the past
three months. General work has been sus-
pended and all efforts concentrated on the
production of shot and shell for the heavy
rifed ordnance lately arrived from Eng
land, and which are to replace the old
smooth bores. The Chinese are
again permitted to trade with Corea under
certain conditions. From private sources
we learn that the Formosa expedition had
been entirely successful and that Japanese
embassy had been sent from Dorkis to
Pekng. This embassy was accompanied
by Gen. Legendre outside of Yokohama.
The English press say the general feeling is
that 1t will be a success in amicably sett-
ling all matters between the two govern

Susan Rises to Explain.

ROCHESTER,, Aug. "a.
The Union publishes this evening the re-
suit of an interview between one of its re-
porters and Miss Sns1n B. Anthony, rela-
tive to the statement of Mrs. Tiltons SER
want Besse duplicating Miss Anthony in
an improper tete-a-tete with Theodore Til
ton. Miss Anthony denies the whole
story, but regards it as too absurd to be
worthy OF notice. She says she never
heard that the girl Bessie was anything
more than a servant in Tilton's family, that
she was half an idiot, and that Mrs. Tilton
had repeatedly said she could not instil into
girl the first elements of truth. Miss
Anthony's character is too we'll established
by long years of residence in this commu-
nifty to admit of shadow of doubt in the
mind of any person here as to her virtue
and veracity.

A Shocking Tragedy.
New YORK, Aug. 2

New YORK, Aug. "a.
A shocking tragedy occurred this morn
ing at the residence of colorcd man
named Francis Thompson at Gravesend.
The latter and his wife had retired to rest,
but were aroused by suspicious noise in
an adjoining room. Thompson was con-
WINGED that burglar was in the house and
noiselessly stepping from bed he armed
himself with loaded shotgun which he
kept In the room. On opening the door
and looking out he saw the figure of a man
standing near the head of the stairs With
out speaking word or giving note of
warning, he levelled the gun and immedi-
ately fired. The intruder fell dead. The
muzzle of the gun was held so close to the
unfortunate man that his clothing was set
on fire and his body riddled in n
being almost cut through it. Thomp-
son procured light, and having
made sure by ocular demonstration that he
had nothing further to dread from his vic
tim, with astonishing GOODNESS returned to
bed, leaving the body where it fell till this
morning, when he went to the residence of
Justice w. II. Stillwell and reported the
occurrence, giving himself up at the same
time. The dead body was identified as
that of Il colorcd man named William Will
liams, who has lived in the town for some
time and bore a bad reputation. He had
already served two terms Tor burglary, and
there seems to be no doubt that he broke
into Thompson's house for the purpose of
robbery

A Marrow Escape.

Monday afternoon Sidney Vaughn,
Frank Beals ind Willie Bagley were out
fishing, and while enjoying themselves two
of them narrowly escaped drowning They
were up at the Tannery Pond, and were
standing upon bridge near the mouth of
the creek that emptles into the pond. The
bridge not being used very much is rather
rickety and some of the boards reach be-
,SDnd the stringers. Young Bagley was
standing upon one of the boards with his
line in the pond, when he was approached
by Vaughn, who stepped upon the board,
the weight of the two was sufficient to
raise it, and they were both precipitated
into the water, which was about ten feet
deep, Beals Immediately assisted the
Vaughn boy out, and Willie Bagley tried
his best to get to the bridge. He sank
twice, and on coming up seized fish polt

The War of Races.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. "a.
Troubles are reported between the whites
and blacks in the Choctaw country. The
whites were informed that the blacks in
tended to attack them unawarcs, and
gathered in force to repel the attack. In
due time crowd of blacks appeared, but
made no attack. A number of them, how
ever, went to the suspected negro, and
took him and whipped him. The whipped
negro being released, fled to the whites for
protection, saying he had been whipped
for revealing a conspiracy of blacks. An
officer accompanied by the posse proceeded
to arrest the rioters, but the latter fled.
Several shots were fired at them as they re-
treated, but without damage. Quiet is now
restored, and no further trouble is appre-
hended.
