sUsa BREAKING.
A Pleasant Evening st Asbury y.
y. Chureh-One Hundred Little
Jags and What Was In Them.

J0ks ana What Was In Them.
The Ladies' Aid Society OF Asbury
II. X. church had a jug breaking in
the main audience room Of the church
last night. The jugs broken were not
little brown ones, but earthen money
jugs, containing not spirits but money
for the success and benefit Of the
church.
The Ladies' Aid have the special
charge Of furnishing the parsonage and
ofkeeping 1t in good order, but this does
not bound them in their good works.
Their money jugs last night run over
and some OF the contents will be used
for other purposes connected with the
church. Some two or three weeks ago
few Of them conceived the idea Of hav.
ing this jug breaking referred to, and
accordingly about hundred little
earthen penny jugs were sent out
amongst the members Of the church,
with instructions 10 get them filed Il
possible, and last evening was the time
fixed for an ingathering Of the jugs, a
breaking OF the same and the counting
of the contents. About 400 persons
assembled to witness this event. The
exercises were opened with religious
exercises after which William +. Rob.
nson was appointed jug breaker aad
Messrs. j. j. MoMullin, Charles Wood
and William Groves were appointed q
committee to count the money as il was
emptied from the jugs.
Hammer in hand Mr. Robinson took
his stand and as the name OF each Jug
holder was called axd that little arti.
Gle was handed in, he gave it a little
tap and emptying the contents upon
the table, the committee named count
ed the money.
The jugs contained various amounts,
ranging from s2l down as low as seven
cents. Mrs. Harry Talley had the jug
with the highest amount. The whole
amount realized was s333.2l. Daring
the evening the church choir, under
tbs leadership Of W. b. Gem, sung
some very fine pieces Of music and

race was to against Isonomy, 25 to

against Peter, and 25 to l against
Refer. The Bear led by 200 yards,
until mile from home, when Isonomy
headed him and won in canter by
three lengths, Isonomy, Touchet, Pc
ter and Parole closed with The Bear at
a mile from home, when Isonomy
finally headed The Bear. Time of race,
sos. The Sportsp,aa Claimed that
Touchet would beat Parole and be the
most formidable opponent of Isonomy.
The rain fell in torrents in the morn

failed to see the cup run for were ap-
palled at the deluge and relied upon the
newspapers for a. full account of the
contest between Parole and Isonomy.

Cheyenne, July 31.-'.Doc.n Middle
ton, the notorious horse and cattle
thief, for whose capture large rewards
have been offered by different counties
of Nebraska, was taken last Sunday in
{ his camp on Niobrara river, about two
hundred miles northwest of Columbus,
Neb, and brought into that town this
evening. On Sunday morning, detec-
tives and soldiers. from Columbus and
Grand Island, surrounded the house of
Richardson (Middleton's father-in-law)
and captured Richardson and five of
Middleton's gang. Richardson was
compelled by threats of hanging to lead
the party to Middleton's camp, which
was found in a deep canon near the
river, and surrounded, surprised, and
Middleton, his wife, and two more of
his gang capo. Fed. Middleton was
found to be severely wounded, the re-
suit of his fight with detectives last
week. 1t is supposed that the greater
number of his gang were away locating
new camp, as no stock was found
