NEWS SUMMARY
MaahInRfon.

The first of a series of meetings by the
Department of Superintendent of the
National Education Convention met lately
at the Capital. The proper representation
of the educational interests of this
country at the Paris Exposition was dis
cussed, and a committee appointed to take
charge of that subject. Among the other
topics considered was that of the best school
organization for a State, Mr.. Hancock, of Ohio,
opening the debate. Mr.. Harvey, of West
Virginia, and Lemon, of Kansas, followed,
for the most part, explaining and defending
the systems employed in their respective
States. The matter was referred to Especial
committee. A committee was appointed
on legislation, in respect to the support of a
National Bureau of Education, a National
Educational Museum, and a National Edu-
c~ational Fund.
A procession of several thousand work
ingmen of the District paraded the other
night, and called upon the President, who
appeared and spoke a few words in ae-
acknowledgement of the compliment. They
then proceeded to Ford's Opera House,
where a mass meeting took place. After
the passage of a series of resolutions in
support Of the labor movement, q commit
tee was appointed to wait upon the Presi-
hour law in the mechanical departments of
the government Addresses were delivered
by Hon. Wm. A. Phillips, of Kansas, Hon.
C. A. Harrison, of Illinois, and others.
Considerable stir was created in political
circles at Washington on the 14th from the
fact that Senator Conkling, of New York,
and Senator Gordon, Of Georgia, had a per-
sonalspat in the secret session of the Senate,
Conkling having charged Gordon with ut
tering an untruth, and used such language
as to induce listeners to believe that it
"would be settled in the usual way"
News Of reported troubles in Ell Paso
County, Texas, is as follows: The telegram
of Governor Hubbard to the President, call
ing for assistance from United States troops
to repel the invasion of Texas territory,
caused some excitement here, but govern
ment adyices do mot warrant The impression
that other than local troubles have pre-
sented themselves. There is no idea what
ever that the Mexican Government Is max
ing any hostile demonstrations. So far as
can be learned, the unfriendly movements
are nearly of the same nature as those
which were the subject of attention from
the War Department some months ago,
when the question of proprietorship of
certain salt pits in Ell Pase County caused
much disorder there. The government does
not consider that the troubles are in any
degree international. The dispatches were,
however, promptly referred to the Secretary
of War, who, after consultation with Gen.
Sherman, gave directions for the mastering
of forces in Texas in such positions as to
give whatever aid may be necessary to pre-
vent assaults upon American citizens OF
their property.

Judge Dean, of Hot Sulphur Springs,
Middle Park, arrived at Georgetown, Col
orado, a few days ago, and reports that his
Court was broken up by a mob of half a
dozen men, who entered the Court peace
ably, and, having arranged themselves to
suit their purpose, the ringleader, said to be
the Deputy Sheriff elect, began to read what
purported to be a warrant commanding
Judge Dean to disperse his so-called Court,
and to deliver up the books and seal. Judge
Dean commanded him to sit down, and
threatened to place him under arrest, laying
his hand upon his shoulder. Just then
Dean was struck back of the ear. The pre-
tended officer drew a revolver and shot at
Dean, the ball passing close to his head.
There was a general rush, and ali through
reyolyers were held at his head. Dean sue
ceeded in locking up the records and seals.
He is on his way to Denver, to ask the
Governor to assist in restoring order.
With such a mob bounding him, he dares
not open Court.
At Silver Springs, twenty-five miles south
of Hot Creek, Wyoming Territory, a man OF

three now en- route to the Hillsl named
Kennedy, while under the influence OF
liquor, threatened the life of a Sergeant OF
the company named Schaffer, but was pre-
vented at the time from carrying his threat
into execution. Shortly after arriving in
camp in the evening, Kennedy procured a
carbine, went to the tent whereof supposed
Schaffer would be found, and opening the
flap fred at the first man he saw, killing
him instantly; but instead of Schaffer il
proved to be John A. Van Molt, First Ser
geant of the company. Kennedy was i'm.
mediately disarmed, and put under charge
of a guard. Great excitement prevailed
among the men of the company, by whom
Van Molt was greatly respected, and some
time during the night the guard was over
powered, a blanket being thrown over his
head, and at daylight the body of Kennedy
was found suspended to the ridge pole Of
the guard tent, by the neck, life being
extinct.

He moved the petition lie upon the table

submitted the following resolution and gave
notice that he would call it up Tuesday,

"Resolued, That it is of the highest importance

all its contracts and obligations entered into with
its own citizens"

ton of Mr.. Matthews to pay the bonds in

The following, which we clip from the
Defiance (Ohio) Democrat, is of interest in
connection with the frequent cases of hy-
drophobia which are occurring here and
elsewhere:
Two weeks ago we mentioned the fact that
JAcoB LANB, of Rushville, Fairfield County, a
brother of JOHN ID. LAMB, of this place, had
been attacked with hydrophobia. We ex-
pected at that time to shortly record his death,
but, singular to relate he not only survived,
but has entirely recovered. The particulars,
which We learn from his brother, arc as fol-
lows:
Last April Jacob was bitten on the hand by
small dog on the farm. At intervals after
ward he noticed nervous twitchings of the
hand that was bitten. During the summer he
had frequent spells of restlessness ut night,
and 1t was feared that the fatal disease of hy-
drophobia had become inoculated In his sys-
TEN. About eight weeks ago the dog that did
the biting showed signs Of madness and was
shot. Finally, several weeks ago, the
dreaded disease appeared on Jacob and the
best of medical aid was summoned to attend
him. He passed through all the stages of the
disease; had a dread Of water, frothed at the
mouth, snapped his teeth like dog, and had
such terrible commissions that 1t was necessary
to tic him to the bed. At times he was lucid,
but gradually grew worse and suffered fear
fully.
Finally when his sufferings became almost
unbearable and his physicians pronounced his
death at hand, they decided for his own sake
that they would dose him so thoroughly with
chloroform that he would remain unconscious
until death relieved him OF his sutferngs. To
accomplish this, while he was tied fast, the
physicians placed cloth in his mouth and
nostrils and with funnel poured into him an
ounce and half of chloroform-enough to
kill half dozen ordinary persons. He soon
succumbed to its effects and In few
minutes ceased breathing, became livid and
was pronounced dead. He remained in
this state several minutes, when to the
utmost surprise of family, physicians and
friends, he opened his eyes and spoke. From
that moment he commenced recovering. The
chloroform administered In such a large guam
tity, in order to make him die easy, was the
means, 1t appeared, Of saving his life.
When his brother JOHN, Of this place. left
his bedside few days afterward, he was
rapidly convalescing and on last Saturday
JOHN received letter from him stating that
he was again at work on the farm and that he
felt perfectly well. The case Is certainly q
remarkable one and is worthy the thorough
study of the medical fraternity.

practically held them at arms length and
their wishes and views in disrespect, II not
in derision. And so far as the great mass
Of the Republican rarty is concerned, East,
West, North, and South, IL there is any
vitality left there TO feel, IL cannot and will
not give its confidence and support to any
such policy. This feeling of regret and dis
trust is rapidly increasing and becoming
more outspoken, and is likely to ripen into
an alienation and rupture, which will place
the President and the party which elected
him under irreconcilable variance.
Unfortunately for the Presidents atti-
tude toward Republican Senators and Re
presentatives in Congress on the question
of appointments, he has not been consistent
with his professions, for while he has ostra-
cised those of his own party, he has not
only accepted; but the impression is that he
has sought the counsel and advice Of certain
Democratic Senators and Representatives
on this question, and has made selections
for position from their side to the exclusion
ofgood Republicans who were equally, If not
better qualified to discharge the duties of
the positions. The great majority of the
Republican party regard such policy as
betrayal Of Republican faith, and cannot
keep step to any such music.
When Congress adjourned the President
and the Republican party were not in har-
mony. He has not secured either the re-
spect or the confidence of the Republican
masses by preferring his avowed political
enemies to his friends in making up his
jewels. The breach of friendship is inevita-
bic unless he promptly takes the helm of
state out Of the hands of some of his minis
ters and brings the ship speedily into Re-
publican waters, with less Democratic and
other questionable political deck-load than
she is now carrying. 1t is for the President to
decide his own course. The Republican
party cannot accommodate itself TO all the
peculiarities Of his administration, for they
are neither Republican in principle nor
practice. They neither unity, solidify, nor
strengthen the party, nor do they afford
any promise or hope of longevity. The Re-
publicans, seeing this will not sustain either
the men or the measures of this Administra-
tion, when they tend more to build up the
Democratic party than their own. This is
gospel truth.

AFTER much public indignation against un-
safe boilers and incompetent engineers, and
even after the declaration of the wife of the
missing engineer that he had informed her
that the boilers in the candy factory were un-
safe, comes the surprising announcement that
the official inspectors have examined the boil
ers supposed to have exploded and find them
intact With this we have q new hypothesis,
that one of the tanks containing material for
the manufacture of candy held some explosive
matter which spread devastation and death
with such terrible force. Many Of tho readers
will call to mind singular explosion which
took place at the burning of CRocKE R & WAR
REN's store, in New York, which gave rise to q
prolonged discussion of the question, "Will

discussion over again, the question being,

Of life is likely to prove much less than was at
first supposed =.
