A Prisoner Kills His Companion and is
Himself Killed by Officers In Self De-
fense.
PADUcAH, KY, July M.-An exciting trag-
edy occurred to-day. Eleven convicted pris-
oners in the county Jail were to have started
at 8 O'Clock this morning to the penitentiary.
Between 6 and I o'clock there was noise in
one of the cells which attracted the attention
outside, brought Jailer Edwards, his assistant
Jacks on and county Judge NcGannagill to
the scene Two negroes, Levi Baldin and
John Stewart, convicted of larceny, were con-
fined together and on reaching their cell the
officers found that Baldin had killed Stewart,
having beat his brains out with piece of an
iron hunk. As soon as the cell door was
opened Baldin attacked the officers
with his weapon and would
have killed some of them, but for their revol-
vers, which, firing almost together, sent one
bullet through his body and another through
bis brain. The general feeling among all
classes, white and black, is the shooting was
| justifable defence. Everything quiet and nc
excitement.

Gar1ield's FOs'titHde.
rTan1on Talauraph


'sHe nothing common did OF mean up
describes the demeanor of the ill-fsted
Charles Stuart when brought to the
headsman's block, and the same words
might, without exaggeration, be applied
to the sick bed of the wo lnded American
statesman of to-day. Eulogy and pane
gyric would be wasted ,and would be out of
place, in dwelling on the serene fortitude
with which Gen. Garfield has met the
cruel and unexpected blow that has fallen
ON aim Nevertheless, it unquestiona-
BILE that public sympathy is still more at
tracted than would otherwise be the case
to one who sets such an heroic
example of patient endurance in suf-
fering. All the reports which
reach us from the bedside of the griev-
iously wounded President depict him as
cheerfully acce pting the decree of provi-
dence, hard as it must necessarily ap-
pear. There is something of the old
Roman fortltude about the way in which
this representative of the new world
bows before the might of destiny. "To
fill ACKNOWLEDGEMENT was the object OF
the noble Latin when he knew that the
hour of his death had arrived. Yet it
would be impossible sto hide from view
that, at the bottom Of the dignified Sc
renity with which the President looks
into the face of fate, there is the grim
stoicism of the ancient Roman. In
President Garfield at this moment we
can see the union of that
manly courage which is COM
mon to brave men in ali ages with some
thing tenderer, purer, and in a single
word, mere Christian than the heather
world could ever show Caesar would
have ordered the sobblng Calpurnia
sternly to quit his presence had it been
his fate, after having been wounded by
his assassins, to be brought back to die
at home; but in modern America the true
position and dignity of womanhood are
better understood, and President Gar
fields pillow is smoothed by the loving
hands of his earthly comforter and life
long companion. Tender as well as
strong, the American ruler of men
though first to dispatch message to
his wife, which would break the
bad news gently to her; after
which, it is reported, che appeared to be
more at ease, and conversed pleasantly
with his friends" 1t is not every man
who when told by his physicians that he
is in all probability near his end, can re-
ply, Goods will be done. L am ready to
die,'' in the simple unaffected words OF
President Garfield. Such a display VI
manhood, whatever may be thought Of
the intellectual powers of the political
wisdom of the wounded statesman, is
good to be set up before our eyes in an
age and generation marked far too much
by fippancy and frivolity. Whether the
man on whom the thoughts of two CONT
nents are fixed lives or dies, he has, at al
events, presented picture of unfalterins
courage and noble fortitude on his bed O

The SfalIfo,,.s at Chicaao.

The stallion trotters are the sensational
cards this year. The race at Rochester, July
4, between Francois Alexander, McGregor,
Santa Clause, Hannis, Wedgwood, Bonesetter
and Monroe Chief, was remarkable turf
event, but still more sensational performance
was that for entire horses at Chicago Tues
day last, in which the stars of the Rochester
meeting; with the exception of the winner,
(Alexanderl participated, reinforced by Pied
mont. At Rochester it took seven heats to de-
eide the race, at Chicago six. Tn the pools prior
to the first heat Santa Claus was the favorite,
but he gave place to McGregor after that
horse won the first heat in 2:l8, reducing his
record three quarters OF a second. Then San
ia Claus stepped in and took the second heat
in 2:1714, beating his previous performances
second and haif. This made him rank
favorite, only to give place at the end of the
next heat to McGregor, who won it hand
somely in 21Sk. Then came the surprise of
the day. Piedmont, who had not been looked
upon as a possible winner, anne in and
ting his record down from 2:2Qk and Civ
| ing him the next bestsrecord to the famous
Smuggler, 2:15L. The race, like thst at
| Rochester, was driven for blood from start to
| finish, and was really most remarkable per
formance, the three starts, Piedmont, Nc
| Gregor and Santa Clause, each lowering theil
record. Speaking of the race, the Chicago
Times of Wednesday said: sit will be seer
that the four fastest stations in the United
States took part in yesterdays race, and, will
the exception Of Hannis, they acquired tbl
record distiction in the race. Taken all In ail
it was remarkable performance. The frs
heat, won by McGregOr, was one of the neat
est exhibitions of skillfal driving that ha
been seen on the Chicago or any other track TO
many long day. McQregor was projectet
from pocket to first place like shot at tim
when 1t seemed that he had no earthly shop
of reaching the goal. The achievement wa
vociferously applauded. The succeeding heat
were scarcely less exciting, and when the Nor

Thoroughbred Long Distance Runners for

A5ftSOnddte.
The GLOBE of Friday morning contained
the announcement of the receipt of telegram
by Mr., Benz Woodmansee,, in charge of
Kittsondale, from Mr.. N. W. Kittson, from
New York city, of the shipment from there of
two Eoglish thoroughbreads, recently inn
ported, destined for Kittsondale The horses
mentioned arrived yesterday. They are the
stallion Woodlands, and the mare Dorathy
Vernon. Woodlands is chestnut stallion,
foaled in 1872, by Nutbonrne, out of Peggy
Whitethroat, (dam of Lumley and other
wiHnersl by Turnus out oi Nan Darrell,
grandam of Vedette, (w1uner of the two
thousand Guineas, Goodwood and Doncaster
cups, etc. He has been successful performer
at long distance in England, (which means
from one -and-a-half to- two and "a half miles,
the latter distance being the longest run in
that country He is finely developed horse
and possesses great speed and endurance, as
shown by his public performances. Though
nine years old, he is as trim and sleek as a
colt Of three years, limbs clean and
sound, and apparently fit to run for
a mans life. The mare, Dorathy Vernon, is
a chestnut, foaled in 1878, and imported Feb
ruary last. She was sired by Strathconan,
dam PARKWAY, and in appearance is every inch
a racer In charge of the horses was a gen.
tleman, who it is understood, is to remain at
KittsOndale, to handle the running stock of
the establishment. The GLOBE does not
know it authoritively, but surmizes that
Woodlands and Dorathy Vernon will be found
among the entries for the Minneapolis races.

across the country from Lake Elysian. It is
reported, also, that five additional head, the
get of Alexander, three, four and fve-year-
olds, shipped by rail, arrived at the Minneap-

ly means business. When Mr.. Parker was
placed in charge of the Lake Elysian trotters
early in the spring, the GLOBE remarked that it
looked as If Messrs. De Graft & Hop
kins had decided to prove by pub
lie performances that Alexander him
self was worthy representative of his
royal trotting breeding, and also that he was
able to transfer his speed to his get.
Both the State Fair association and the
North western Exposition at Minneapolis,
-
have offered good purses for State stations.
The transfer of Alexander from Lake Elysian
to Minneapolis, where he can be worked in
company, means that he is going to contest
at the Minneapolis meeting for the stellion
honors. Against him it is pretty certain
will be !. started Mr.. Kittson's

fastest stallion in the State) and several Others

Was 1t not that the two societies named give
their exhibitions the same week, and that each
has announced its stallion race for the same
day, the GLOBE would feel authorized to as
sert that Minnesota would this fall furnish a
stallion race equal to that trotted In Chicago
Tuesday last, or in Rochester, July 4. As it
is some of the owners of stalliogs are in doubt
as to the best point for them, Rochester or
Minneapolis, to enter. If all should enter at
either one of the meetings, then look out for
a hotly contested race, with heats below 2:20.

OPENING THE PUs CAVITY.
NEW YORK, July IA Washington spe-
cial says: Upon consultation this morning
the surgeons determined that it was abso-
lutely necessary to perform an operation to
discharge the pus cavity which occasioned
Yesterdays trouble. During the night, about
$50 o'clock, there was return of the chills,
and again this morning. DIR. Agnew was Sc
| lected to perform the operation. He located
the cavity and made an incision about one
and one half inches below the opening of the
wound. The pus cavity was occa-
stoned by irritation from splint-
ers of this injured rib and had no con-
nection directly with the main cavity, formed
by the bullett which was worked freely. The
cut was about an inch and half long. not
exceeding an inch and half in depth. The
injured rib was found to be bent and there is
now consultation as to whether any attempt
shall be made to straighten it.
