Facing Death.

BROTHER GARDNER was yesterday
withdrawing the back end of an old
house on Catharine street, when the
staging gave way and he had a fall of
about fifteen feet. He was senseless
when picked up, but man poured about
a gallon of cold water down his back
and brought him to. Mr.. Gardner thus
explained matters to the reporters:
"Waal was up dar, an dar was de

A Remarkable Story.

A narrow escape from ignominious
death was that of Poindexter Edmund
son, who was to have been hanged at
Bloomfield, Stoddard County, Mo-, the
other day. The following are the facts
of the remarkable deliverance: Last
summer, Edmundson had a difficulty
with William Shaw, during which he was
struck on the head with brick and car
ried home insensible. When Edmund
son came to his senses he swOre to be re-
venged. Edmundson had half-witted
brother named James, who, on seeing his
brothers wound and the scar after it had
healed, became frantic, swearing the
direst vengeance on Shaw. Last October
after Poindexter had recovered, James
Edmundson disappeared, and shortly
after Shaw was found murdered. Close
upon this event and before the arrest of
Poindexter James Edmundson suddenly
reappeared and told his brother that hi
had killed Shaw with knife
Strange as it may appear, the eldel
Edmundson made the heroic resolution
to suffer death and bear in silence thu
shame he knew must follow, for the SAKE
! VI Saving MS w lIlC
He was tried, convicted and sentenced
to be hanged, the evidence being entire
| ly circumstantial. A short time sine,
James Edmundson was taken very sick
and on his death-bed few days ago con
| fessed that he himself had done the deeC
| for which his brother was so soon to hang
He detailed all the particulars befor
several witnesses, which created tn
most intense excitement in the town 0
Bloomfield. But little time was left t.
save the condemned mans life. Tn
citizens held a public meeting and raise'
a sum CT money to send man Instant
to the Governor at Jefferson City, with
statement of the whole affair. The mes
senger arrived at Jefferson City on Sun
day morning, and Gov Phelps, after eX
aiming the aftidavits, granted the I'm
fortunate man respite until Aug. G
Immediately upon receiving the respit
Phillips telegraphed the fact to Dexter
the nearest railroad point to Bloomfield
and instantly left on his ride for life
reaching there in time to prevent tn
| hanging.

Counting by Telegraph.

One Of the passengers on the Dakota
yesterday was Mr.. Hill Harmon, and &C
companying him, to the surprise of all
was a wife. Being of nature that
could not endure single life, Mr.. H.,
shortly after the death of his first wife,
informed his family and his friends of his
determination to marry again, and that
at the earliest possible moment. Know
ing of lady in Maine whom, however,
he had never seem who possessed all the
qualities his heart desired, he at once
opened correspondence with her by tel
egraph, which, after several messages,
resulted in an engagement and the nam
ing of the day for their marriage. Pack
ing his valise, Mr.. Harmon started, using
the telegraph in the dispatch of amatory
messages all the way. On the 7th of
April they were married, and to-day they
are at their Steilacoom home-he after
an absence of about thirty-three days.
In that time he has travelled 5000 miles,
met his present wife for the first time and
married her, and been to New York, Bos-
ton, Chicago, st. Louis, Detroit, Buffalo,
Montreal, Quebec, Toronto and San Fran
cisco, at each of which they made short
stays. He is very happy, and shows it
more than would any young fellow of
twenty under the circumstances. She is
a fine-looking, sensible woman, who will
make Hill good wife, who (he) though
in more Of hurry than most men would
be, has certainly made good choice,
and is to be congratulated. Here is ro-
nance in real life, which the pen of a
more talented writer could weave into
a tale Of considerable length and vivid
interest. Seattle Tribune.

The Great Enemy OF the Russians.

The Russians will encounter one enc
my on the lower Danube which the most
daring courage and the best organization
cannot completely conquer-that is, dis
ease. The fiat banks on the Roumanian
side of the great river are overlooked in
the spring AS the water retires, there
is broad stretch of quagmires and stag
nant pools for miles in extent--a prolific
source of malarial fevers. AS the heat
increases in the burning summer, these
marshy hollows are filled with a high,
rank grass, so that for miles the eye can
see nothing but broad steppes of waving
grass, without a tree or house. These
meadows, however, seem equally un-
healthy with the more swampy plains of

what do mean by barracks? Oh,
barn, or a cow-house, or a wood-shed, or
may be the warm side of a haystack,
Right around here, though, there's two
or three barns we kin always git into.
That's for cold weather, of course. In
the summer the camps just as good as
house"
On the way to the camp, which was
not far away, the young tramp said that
he had been on the road "Only about
three years, but his pardner, upon whom
he evidently looked with great respect,
had been a-travelin" ever since the
war.
Sometimes the young tramp said as many
as twenty or thirty travellers camped in
this one spot. GIVE seen fifty" growled
the old man parenthetically. Well, may
be there was fifty once in a while, but that
was only in the green-corn season, or
when potatoes was ripe. Corn and po-
tatoes was mighty easy to pick up Ia
tramp never steals, he picks up), and
then there was the fruit season, which
was good, too. There was hardly day,
though, in any sort of decent weather,
that somebody didn't come to the camp,
for it was handy to a good country as
well as to Elizabeth.
Being asked whether any of his pro-
fession ever worked the young man re-
piled that they did. Then with a
thoughtful pause he qualified his asser-
ton by deliberate "now and then"
His old pardner, he said, was employed
by farmer year ago last summer, but
after three days was back with the gang.
He liked work, he told them, but he'd be
hanged if any man could hire him to
sleep in garnet!
The Hammocks belong to Mr.. Jokn
Sayers, well-to-do farmer, who does
not object to the tramps as long as they
respect his fences. The authorities of
Union and Elizabeth seem to be CON
tented to let the homeless wanderers
alone as long as they do their stealing
in other parts of the Stately. 7. Sun.
