A MYSTERIOUS AMPUTATIoN.-Mr.
Brook Smith, formerly of this city, now
living in Brownwood, says The Waco
CTex) Examiner, was the victim of a
singular accident last Monday morning.
He was walking along the principal
street of the town, when, suddenly feel
ing stinging sensation in his right
hand, he raised it from his side, and
found the forefnger gone. He of course
was surprised and Mortified; his hand
was bleeding badly; the dismembered
finger lay on the ground at some dis
tance from him;he had not heard the re
port of gun, and naturally was very
much at a-loss to account for the mis-
hap. Several persons went to his assist
ance, among whom was a physician,
who stopped the flow of blood and dres-
sed the wound. Persons went in search
of a cause for the singular occurance,
and after time ascertained that man
who was examining a Winchester rife in
a guustore several hundred yards from
where hIr. Smith was walking, acciden-
tally discharged the weapon, and the
ball, after passing through plank wall,
sped on and did the mischief.

THE TRICK ON ROBBINS.

Detroit Free Press: James Robbins,
of Nation avenue, has been missing for
three days, but there is no anxiety
around his house to learn his fate. His
wife knows what caused him to disap-
pear, and she is willing to let him get a
good ready to come back. Robbins
married lone widow about four months
ago, and they had not been welded two
weeks when he gave her a beating. She
overlooked it then, thinking he would
soon tone down, but in a week more he
blacked her eyes. In brief, Robbins
turned out to be brute of a husband,
and the ex-widow had the sympathies
of all the neighbors. She is said to be
meek and humble in spirit, and Rob
bins had no excuse for his brutality.
-Four or five days ago he knocked her
down and started off up town. and the
wife crawled over to o butchers to see
about having Robbins arrested. The
butcher, VINO weighs 100 pounds and
has o fist like maui, knew better way
than going to a police, and he unfolded
plan.
When Robbins reached home that
evening the house was dark and the
butcher, dressed in woman's clothes and
with his jaws tied up, sat in the rocking
chair.
"Why in blazes isn't supper ready?"
howled Robbins as he stood in the door.
The butcher groaned.
"Grunting around again, are you'll -
shouted Robbins. "What's the matter
now?''
The butcher groaned again.
''Yon feel too high-toned to answer
me, do you' growled the wife-beater.
"WelI well see about that. Just take
this, will you'll
He stuck out, but the disguised
butcher caught his wrist, sprang up, and
there was fun in that cottage. He chok-
ed Robbins almost to death, tied him up
in hard nots and united him, drew him
around by the heels and hair, and final
ly picked him up and tossed him over
the fence into the mud. The wife beat
er had kept up steady yelling from
the first attack, and as he rose from the
mud and sped down the street he seem
ed to think that Sitting Bulls whole
fighting force were after him. AT IL
o'clock that night he entered Michigan
avenue saloon and told story about six
men robbing him, and alf an hour Ia
ter, as he was prowlng around a shed
to find place to sleep policeman
heard him saying:
"Nose smashed, eyes bunged up, sore
throat, bruised all over and sleepy! What
a deceiving person awidow woman isl ,

Lynch Law Threatened.

A girl named Corrigan, aged eight years,
was sent from Millville, N. j., with her
fathers dinner, on Friday sWhile she was
going along the railroad track she was over
taken by one Garrison, who drew her into
the woods. Her cries attracted gang OF
trackmen. Garrison escaped, and the men
scattered through the woods in search OF
him. Mr.. Corrigan became alarmed at the
absence Of his daughter and started down
the track to see where she was. He found
her unconscious. The party captured Gar
rison under the platform of the railroad
station, about mile away. They tied him
to tree, and the father was restrained with
difficulty from killing him. While they
were deliberating On the disposition that
should be made Of him, constables appeared
who had been securing the countryin in search
Of Garrison for committing three similar
outrages in the vicinity of Millville. They
took Garrison away from the marl-pit men
to the Cumberland county jail, where he is
held for the Grand Jury. The girl was so
severely injured that for several days her
recovery seemed doubtful.

A Practical Cooperation Association

In Springfield, VT, exists the "Practical
Cooperation Association" composed of
flfty-fve men and women, the majority Of
whom are from twenty to twenty five years
old. The association was started about two
years ago by an inhabitant of Springfield,
who, with four others, having a capital of
81, 900 hired small shop with water power,
and in 1t began the manufacture Of toys and
other light articles. They were regularly
organized as cooperative society, open
to persons of proper character and capabili-
ties, who were required to have capital or
entrance fec of 500. An easy and abund-
ant market was found for their goods, and
recruits Joined them rapidly. They soon
owned their own building, and were pro-
crossing rapidly when one of their shops
burned. A few withdrew discouraged, but
in two months new shop was built.
Thenceforth their prosperity increased, and
now the community is in . fourishing con-
dition. All not only work in the one shop,
but they are also all one family.

An American Bishop In England,

At the Prostestant Episcopal Convention
Of the diocese of Tennessee at Sewanee, In
that State, few days ago, 9 letter was
read from Bishop Quintard, Of Tennessee,
who It had falsely t,een feported, met with .
somewhat unkind reception from his Pro

where he has been travelling. In the course
of his letter Bishop Quintard sayk:
"My reception in England by the Most
Reverend the Archbishops and the Right

I have on two occasions administered the
apostolic rite of confirmation for the Lord

Convocation Of Canterbury, and ! have the
singular distinction Of being the first Bish-
op Of the Church not member OF the Con-
vocation ever admitted to that service. 1t
was held in the Chapel of Henry VII, In
Westminster Abbey. Itwas great pleas
ure to me to assist at the opening service
of Keble College, Oxford. I was present
eight years ago at the laying OF the founda.
