MI STERLING, KY. Nov. 18.-A few DAYS
since sent you an account of two remark
gan County. They were represented as
being entirely covered with scales. Yester-
day these children were brought to town in
charge of Harry Price.
They are aged respectively eight and
twelve Years, and appear to be we'll grown
and healthy. Their bodies are entirely
covered with a thick, scalv cuticle of dark
brown color, the scales being half an inch
in diameter. These scales do not resemble
the scales of any fish or reptile, but rather
have the appearance Of being
an abnormal condition of the outer
skin, which has grown very thick, and
being hard, has broken into irregular Sec
tions and becomes loose and drors off in
small fragments. The same conditions of
skin extend to the head, which has been
clipped close. There Is nothing peculiar
about them in other respects. They are
said to sleep with their eyes open, and to
crawl under the water like water reptile,
but can not swim.
The eldest is very fond of snakes and
takes them in his hands to play with when
ever he finds them. When they become
warm they turn blush color, and have to
20 to the water and cool off, as they do not
perspire, another fact showing the abnor-
NAL condition of the skin. They possess
ordinary intelligence, and are perfectly hu-
man in food, senses and inclinations.
They belong to a family of eight children,
all natural but these two, and girl, the
youngest child, now three years old. hav-
ing the same scaly appearance of these two
bows. Mr.. Rice who has them under a con-
tract for one year, will exhibit them.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
A Private Watchman Badly Beaten on
Vine Street This Morning.

About o'clock this morning William
Oester. the private watchman at Heuck's
Opera-house, had his attention drawn to a
row going on in front of the Tivoli Hall, a
few doors above Heuck's, by young man
named Louis Meyers.
The latter started toward the Trivoli
ahead of Oester, who had to lock the side
door before he could go. When Meyers got
to the Tivoi he found three men beating
the private watchman of Esher's Palace,
John Henning. Meyers endeavored to stop
the row, when the men left Henning and
commenced slugging him.
Oester by this time made his appearance,
when the trio fled up Vine street as hard
as they could go. Henning was found ly-
ing in the gutter with his head resting
upon the curbs st ne. Oester and Meyers
carried him into the side entrance of the
Tivoli Hall, where an effort was made to
restore him to consciousness.
DR.. Querner was sent for, and be ordered
Henning removed to the Cincinnati Hos
pital, where he is at present In semi-cOn-
scious condition. The extent of his injur-
les have not yet been determined. He had
received terrible blow on the left temple
with same heavy weapon, and this blow
may probably cause his death.
Who the assailants were is not known
but it is thought probable that they may
have been friends Of William Smith, whom
Henning killed about five years ago ir
front of Weilert's saloon. No arrests have
vet been made.

he was forced by the troops, Victorio
