BRIGHAM YoUNG's EsTATR.-Alfales anG Ernest D. I Young, two of the heirs of tht late Brigham Young, sued out 8 temporary injunction ID the Third District Court, 60 joining the executors of Brigham's will from transferriug large portion of the late prophets estate back to the church. The complainant says the estate is worth enly 1 900. .0e0. and asserts that John Fay Tor. the new prophet, has made claim foI &900.000. which he alleges is due and owing to him as the legal representative of the Normon church; that the executors are about to secretly transfer large real estate interests to Taylor contrary to law, and therefore aa injunction was prayed for and obtained.
 This proceeding is regarded as the first movement Tn . bitter impending struggle over the ill-gotten gains of the departed Brigham. The executors are cited to ap- pear aud show cause why the injunction ssould not be made perpetual Rich de- velepments may then bo expected. Fay Tor, the new head of the church, is not made party to the sait and 1t IS construed by some that this move IS tr1ck on the psrt of the executors and helrs to prevent the church from obtaining the restitution of tho property which the late prophet Alched d0mit

A DRUNKEN AND ECCENTRIC BRIDEGROOM
A few days ago man and woman, who IL near Pennington, Van Buren county, came

A few days ago 8 man and woman, who live near Pennington, Van Buren county, came to Keokuk, and while here were married. He, being either unable to resist his new-found happiness or his fondness for drink. got uR- mistakably drunk, and, when he and his wife boarded the train, attracted all eyes by his boisterous conduct, which caused blRshes of shame to mantle the cheek, of the woman who had just joined her fortunes with this man for bsttsr-or for worse, and was getting the worse side ct the very start. The fellow made foot ball of her muR and kicKSd 1t from one cad of the car to the othsria He.was very conspicuous in many other drunken ways until the train reached Pennington, where. despite the tears and sntreaties of his wife, who got off the train, he maintained his stubborn desire to ride further. The conductor tried to persuade him to get of, but he refused, and said he would pay his passage to the end of the road. The conductor and bridegroom stood upon the platform of the rear coach, the wife on the platform of the depot.
 Finding enrreaties useless and time getting the best of him, the conductor aesisted and gave the signal for the train to start. As the cars got under pretty good hsadway the bride groom concluded that he would drop of, and attempted to do 90. The conductor stopped him, and told him if he wished to get out he would stop the train, and seized the bell-rope to do SO but the fellow crowded by him to the other side of the car, reached the steps, and just as he jumped was seized by one of his coat-tails by the conductor. He hung suspen- ded in mid-air for g while, whirling round and round like dancing derYisb, when the cloth gave way, and the coat ripped clear up to the shoulder, parted, left half in the conductors hand and the other on the fellows body, which was rolled over in the mud at the rate of sev- enty-fve revolutions minute. The conduct or put his torefinger out of joint. The bride groom, with drunken mans usual luck, es- capped unhurt.-KeoAuk (Io,ca) Constitution.

Harnan at ennington. gagged Mr. Harman. his wife and Miss Penfeld. his wifs's ustsr. rsnsacked the house and stole one hundred dollars snd a gold watch. The falaily were taken completely by sur- prise and no alarm could be given. The burglars he'd handksrchiefs or white cloths over their faces. MT. Harman says there were at least six of them. They of farsd no violence except binding and gag Rlng. When they had finished MT. liar mans house. they stole horse and car riaRs at Samuel Jewett's across the street and went of. taking the road to Hooslc corners. Ofacers Jshn Robinson and Al. bert Reyes started in pursuit several hours later.
 The burglars after leaving Bennin gton came direct to Trey with horse and wag- on. At eight o'clock they met nailkman named Cole on the Brunswick road, and offered him nvs dollars If he would drive them ts Albany. Tne men were i've in number. and sfter having got on the milk mans wagon they turned their own horse back without driver. When MT. Cole reached Adams blacksmith shop about two miles from the city, he stopped to have his horse shod and the men proceeded on foot toward Ida Hill. The fact that the men were met on the road and supposed to bs burglars or outlaws of some klnd was reported to police station 8, whs in turn reported to Supt. McKenna. Capt. Murphy went cut ln search of tho horse and wagon that had been abandoned by the burglars and foand them ct farmers named Reid sad brought them to Troy. The horse was completely tired cut and was almost una. hle to walk. The animal had been driven very hard during the night. The distance from Bennington to Troy 1s about thirty miles sad the distance was made in less than three hours. In the wagon was found two small iron jimmies that had seen considerable service and had been used in the wsrk of last nlght. The five men encountered on the road were well dressed and all about the same height, The police of the oity were on the hunt for thsm to day but up to 12 o'clock had not succeeded in overhauling them. The men were evidently making for New York.

The Stars and Stripes In Phiiippopoli.

An American traveller i'm Turkey
writes to the Binghnmpton RcpUbiicdn,
saying: As was hurrying through the
streets of Philppopoli the day before
yesterday, an hour or two after we oc-
cupicd the town. | saw little printed
American flag stick I'm the corner of n
building way up on the top of the rock v
gill that is piled up with houses,
Jumbled together at all angles and i'm
every conceivable form of architecture.
Nothing could have been more unex-
pected than the sight of this little flag.
and my first impulse was 10 rush into
the house and investigate the matter, but
l was unable to do so for the moment,
being ON mission which required haste
to put stop to plunderihg in quar-
ter of the city not yet occupied by
troopS-and consequently did not get
an occasion TO visit the owner of the flag
until the next day. | met at the door
a very easily recognizable type of Amer
lean woman, and she asked me into
room which was so strangely furnished
that | could not believe my own eyes.
American painted furniture, American
chromos in black walnut frames; God
Bless Our Home, worked in worsted
Scratch my Back, on perforated card
board; littlb tasts ur brackets, even

ford, VINO had been in this country with
the exception of n recent visit to Amer
ica, the past seven years, first in the SER
vice of the American Board of Fereign
Missions, and later acting independ-
emily In the interest OF education. She
had arrived from her trip home shortly
before General Gourko crossed the noun
tains in summer, and reached Philippe
poll Just in time to open hospital for the
wounded who came I'm from Eski Xara
and TO gite shelter and protection to
numb bers of Bulgarians. All through
the horrible scenes of the succeeding
months, when more than three hundred
BulgarianS ttGre hanped in the streets
here she remained at her work. The
panic which started here when Sulieman
Pasha announced his intention Of
burning the town on the approach of the
Russians did not affect her any, AZ can
find out, and believe she is about the
only householder I'm town who did not
pack up the furnitufe td escape. Ger
tainly her devotion to the work she has
undertaken solely in the cause ofhuman-
ity deserves every praise.

Wnd Men.

In the Island Of Rio there are wild men
who live in trees, and have no language
but cries; and, In Sumatra, the residents
OF Palembang said there were men who
lived in the forests, with whom not
only the Europeans but the Malays
could have no intercourse. He himself
had never seen one. Yet, strange 10 say.
they have a petty traffic with the outer
world, yet not through the medium Of
speech. Their home is in the woods and
they live by the chase. They hunt
tigers, not with the gun but with arrows.
which they blow out Of n tube with
such force, and which are 80 keen Of
point and touched with such deadly
poison, that n wound is almost immedi-
ately fatal
These tiger skins or elephant tusks
they bring for barter, not for sale
They never sell anything, rs money is
about the most useless thing they can
have. They cannot cat IL, or drink IT,.
or wear IL. But as they have wants
they exchange, yet they Themselves are
never seen. They bring to the edge Of
the forest what they have and leave IL
there, and the Malays come and place
what they have TO dispose Of and retire.
If the offer is satisfactory they find when
they return that what they brought has
gone, and take what is left and dcpart.
IF not they add q few more trifles "a
tempt the eyes Of these wild men of the
woods, and 20 at last the exchange is ef
fected, yet all the while the sellers keer
themselves invisible.

A Narrow Escape.

An Omaha paper says: An honest
hardworkinR carpenter, whose name il
Is not necessary 10 mention, recently
fell in love with certain woman. and
in due time proposed marriage TO her.
and was accepted. He sold some of bis
tools, and thus raised $50 or $40. nearly
all OF which he gave TO his intended 10
help her purchase a wedding outfit. He
retained two dollars to pay for the
license. The wedding was to have taken
place last evening in the office OF JUS
tlce OF the peace on DOuglas-street. The
license was procured, and the parties as
sembled t0 have the knot tied by the
j. j. Suddenly, 10 occurred 10 the in
tended bride that she would like 10 have
q lady friend Of hers "stand up" with
her and 50 she determined to 90 out her
self 10 find her, and bring the ladv
friend back with her After she had
been gone about an hour the would-be
bridegroom concluded that she was not
coming back at all, but that she was
going back on him; in fact, had gone.
She has not yet returned, and is either
still looking for that lady friend. or else
she has skipped out, being about $40
ahead by the transaction The carpen-
ter did not 90 and get drunk, commit
suicide, or do anything of that kind,
but, considering that the engagement was
"ofL" he simply remarked that he was
glad Of It, and hoped she wouldn't come
back
