RECORD OF CRnIE.

At Lebanon, Ky, John Gypson, a farmer,
was shot dead by BichardB. Chandler.
At Canton, O., Joseph A. Klane, convicted of
murder in the second degree, on an Indictment
for poisoning bis father.
T. r. Brecktheomer, formerly Austrian con-
sui at St Louis, has been arrested charged with
emhezzlement of i Il, 900.
The hunt for the murderers of the Coleman
brothers at Durand, Wis. has thus far proved
fruitless, though hundreds have been engaged.
1t is believed the fugitives are still concealed
in the woods west of the Eau Gallo river, and
there they intend to stay. 1t is the safest place
they can ask for, and if thousand men were
distributed through the woods to hunt them
out the char ces would be largely against find
ing them. Besides icing densely timbered, the
country is rough and broken.
Mike Merrill the chief of gang of counter
filters in Tennessee, was found dead in the
woods. 1t seems that he was sleeping undo +
tree, when thunder storm came up and he
was struck and instantly killed by lightning as
was shown by marks u, on his body. This
man WAS krown as desperate oStlaw, and had
given the governn e1t detectives considerable
trouble. His p culiar death probably saved
the life of some of them, as it would have been
q mere chance if he hal been recaptured with
ont killing some one Of the officers.

Mr.. AShnead Bartlett.

Mr.. Bartlett, husband of the Baroness
Burdett- Coutts. made his debut as public
speaker, recently, by presiding at the ami
versary dinner Of the Drover's Benevolent
association, at the Free Mason's tavern,
London. His wife, who is patroness of the
association, was present, with number of
other ladies'. Mr.. Bartletts address is
highly complimented by G. A. Sala, who
was also one of the speakers. The room
was hard one to speak in, but he made
himself istinctly audible, and showed him
self the possessor of musical voice,
though he started on too high key. As
far as can be inferred from public notices,
the young husband and his aged bride are
getting on admirably. She has become
more active in the discharge of social duties,
giving and receiving invitations. 1t is re-
ported, however, that the queen snubbed
her when she appeared at one of the royal
drawing room receptions, and she certain
~ lost valuable bracelet. The latter has
been recovered, and the queens dis
pleasure can hardly last long when it's OBJ
ject is, in so many respects, of such
ex-ceptiOnable worth.

Before long he followed the same path
home with curious expression in his deep,
handsome eyes.
She did not appear at the table until he
had left it for the next two days. On the
third afternoon, as he was stepping down
the front stairway, he caught glimpse of
her, gliding into the cool, darkened parlor.
The house was very quiet. Ten minutes
later he opened the door softly and closed
it after him. She started up from the sofa
with little cry as she saw who had cor
nered her.
He sat down beside her and took both
her hands in his with firm clasp. Lottie
tried to free them, but she felt her strength
going. She began to realize that she was
to be mastered at last.
"Lottie, want an answer to the question
asked you three days ago."
Didn't answer your" she asked, max

was suspicious tremor in her voice.
"You didn't mean it?"
II did" she persisted.
BE careful; don't prevaricate. Didn't
sou write to me that YOU wanted mo for
husband?"
The sudden glance, half ashamed, half
audacious, wholly surprised, that she
flashed upon him, was laughable.
He drew paper from his vestpocket and
unfolded it. Sure enough there was her
note turning up as unexpectedly asa lucky

"Yes; but put in an it, didn't II" she
asked archly. If he is good looking and

he asked quizzically.
She looked up at him. He caught the
CLEAN of tender love light in her eyes
struggling with coquettish mischief that
sparkled there. Without another word he
drew her within his arms and kissed her
lips.
The action sealed her fate. She had
fought bravely against his strange magnet
iciufuence from the first but he had con-
que1ed her.
"How did you happen to find that paper?"
she asked, softly.
II was examining the hat rather closely
and detected it through the lace"
Didn't you think it was a very bold
thing to do?' she questioned, hiding her
face against his breast

he concluded, drawing her closer to him.
II thought that he was awfully old and
not a bit handsome. said Ella, when Lot

Lottie, "but tried awful hard at first to
keep from loving him."

A Buckeyes Experience.

From the Cleveland Leader.
just outside the limits of youngstown,
Ohio, lives well-preserved man Of sixty
named George Glazzard, who is now engaged
in the unromantic task of developing a
small coal mine, but who can look back to a
period of his life when every day brought
some new strange experience. He believes
that he is the only man now living in this
country who in 1863 and 1864 was a COM
panion of DR.. Livingston in his African ex-
plorations. He has still 8 vivid sense of
the explorers kindness and humanity as
we'll as the perils through which he passed.
He relates experience with lions and SER
penis which are full up to the prescribed
African standard. For instance, member
of the company on one occasion killed a
snake which was forty feet long and which
at the moment of dissolution was engaged
in the ples surable occupation of digesting
an OK which it had swallowed whole. The
most dreadful experience, however, which
Mr.. Clazzard was called upon to endure
was party of Ka6r women, each wearing
gigantic smile but nothing else, came out
to receive the benediction Of the white man.
He was perfectly willing to oblige them un-
til he found that they wanted to be kissed
and would not take no for an answer. But
discretion warned him not refuse, and they
received the coveted blessing.

A Washington official has looked up the
facts of the case Of the attempted assassin
alton of President Andrew jackson. It took
place January 80, 1885. President jackson
was passing through the rotunda of the
capitol, attending the funeral of member
of congress, accompanied by q gentleman
on each side of him. He was walking along.
and did not notice the approach of Richard
Lawrenson,-an Englishman, a house
painter by trade, who d,ew a pistol from
under his cloak and fred. The pistol being
flint lock one, the powder did not catch,
and no explosion took place. Hethen drew
the second pistol, but that, too, did not go
off. Lawrensen was arrested, but never
brought to trial. He was sent to an Insane
asylum, and, as far as known, never came
from there. It Was found that he was in
sane, and labored under the impression
that Jackson's policy had brought about the
hard times which then prevailed. Should
the president recover, the case will only be
an assault with intent to kill, the extreme
penalty for which is eight years.
