UNITED STATES MARSHALS AT.
Tackled BY NHOONSHINERS.

Munfordville, KY, February 12.-Intel.
ligence has just reached here of an en-.
counter between posse Of United States
Marshals and body of armed citizens
Of this county, about ten miles from
town. The Marshals had made raid
on several moonshine distilleries near
the boundary line, between Hart and
Edmonson counties, and succeeded in
capturing four notorious Illicit distillers
by the name of Sanders. AS soon as
they made the capture they started with
their prisoners for Bacon Creek Station,
on the Louisville and Nashville Rail.
road. .....
The friends of the Sanders boys,
learning of their arrest, got together in
considerable force, we'll armed with
Colts revolvers and rifles, and started to
intercept the Marshal and rescue their
friends, Meeting them within about
tiy0 miles Of Bacon Creek, they opened
fire, forcing them by their superior
numbers to make hasty retreat. The
other party followed up in close pursuit,
firing as they went, evidently being on
bloodshed or the liberation of their
cronies.
This running fight, with an occasional
bullet from the Marshals, was kept up
for several hours, until the fugitives
were driven within few miles Of Nam,
moth Cave, when the advancing party,
with more discretion than valor, turned
about face and gave up the fight. About
a hundred shots were fred, and several
in each party slightly wounded. No one
was killed.

THE year 1881 will be mathematical
curiosity. From left to right, and from
right to left, it reads the same. IS divid.
ed by 2 gives 8 as a quotlent. 81 divided
by 8, and 9 is the quotient. If 1881 is di-
vided by 200, 8 is the quotient; if d.
vided by 8, the quotient contains a 8; il
multiplied by 8, the product contains two
9s. l and 8 are 8; 8 and are 8. If the
1s be placed under the 81 and added, the
sum is 80, II the figures be added,
thus; /, s, 8, l, it will give 1S. Reading
from left to right is IS, and reading from
right to left isis, and Is is two-ninths
of 81. By adding, dividing, and multi
plying, nineteen 9s are produced-being
one 8 for each year required to complete
the century.

places that this whole world is to be
Christ's. Christ is to reign everywhere.
The fact that He is going to save the

DEATH OF ONE OF THE HEROES

Isaac Pence recently died in Somerset
in Perry county, aged S6 years, and ives
one Of Commodore Perry's men in tie
famous naval engagement on Lake Erir.
When Perry was compelled to leave hs
own ship and proceed in boat to anoth-
er, Pence was one of the men who han.
died the oars. He was an intelligent
industrious, peaceable citizen, black.
smith by trade, though for many years
he has resided upon a farm, with a
blacksmith shop as an adjacent. Of all
the people who travelled along the old
GAINESVILLE and Maysville pike and heard
the sound of Pence's anvil, very few ever
knew that they looked upon man who
had taken most active part in one Of
the most interesting and decisive histor-
ical events of the nation.

Cincinnati is marking arrangements to form
a railroad combination, and, il effected it will
be formidable one. The project is to combine
the Cincinnati southern, Western and Atlantic
(from Chattanooga to Atlanta2, and Georgia
Central Qrom Atlanta to Sayannahl. This would
give Cincinnati an outlet 10 the Atlantic, be-
sides excellent connections for the southern
trade. The Cincinnati southern was built By
public enterprise for commercial objects, and is
not seeking dividends or profits. II is not bur-
dened with heavy bonded debt, and, therefore
IL can carry freight and passengers at lower
rates than rival lines can stand. This is the
Cincinnati plan now. and if carried out another
lively war of rates between railroads may be
expected.

The republican state government in Maine
seems TO have allowed itself to be frightened at
shadows, or, what is just as unsubstantial.
rumors. The fuSionistS are in no condition to
invite settlement OF the issue they have raised
by force, and they evidently realize this fact.
Their governor (so-calieG) admits that his party
is too weak to undertake any aggressive mea-
sures The republican government is recog-
nized as the legitimate one by very large
majority of the citizens, by all the civil officers
OF the state, and by the entire militia force.
The fusionists have nothing with which to COM
bat all this array of power, and, therefore, they
are not likely TO do anything to bring about the
employment of force. They have submitted
their list OF questions to the supreme court OF
the state, and though the court may not hold
itself bound to consider them, it Will probably
do SO, in order to deprive the fusionists of any
further excuse for holding together. The debate
in the fusioniSt Legislature" upon the propriety
OF submitting these questions indicated that a
majority. at least, had determined to abide by
the decision of the court. In fact, the main
reason urged by the few extreme fuSioGiSt lead
ers against presenting the questions TO the
court was that an adverse decision would result
in breaking up the fusion legislature.

There was a crash in the wheat market Sat-
friday, and, as In the break in the stock market
not long since, the small speculators are the
sufferers. The heavy spectators organized
syndicate last fall for the purpose of bulling
the wheat market. They forced the price I'D
steadily until small spectators entered the
market in large numbers. The latter continued
to purchase blindly, apparently taking no
notice ef the enormous quantities of wheat that
were gathering in warehouses and other places
OF storage. AT the time that suited their pur-
pose the bears assisted the decline and the
crash came. Wheat fell from three to
five cents per bushel Saturday, but though
there were many rumorS of firms being
involved, it turned out that only one
was much crippled The small spectators
were about the only sufferers. The crash, how
