A Novel Suit for Damages.

LANCASTER, March 10.-A suit
for damages was entered in the Com
mon Pleas Court of this county to-
day, by B. Frank Echleman, Esq.,,
who represents Mrs. Lydia N. john
ston, a widow, living in Paradise
township, this county. The widow
alleges that Daniel Esbenshade, a
man of means, has damaged her
reputation to the extent of S., 600.
Both parties are members of the
Presbyterian Church, Mr.. Esben-
shade being a vestryman. One of
his duties was to take up the collec-
ton, and on one occasion, recently,
after he had passed the plate to Mrs.
Johnston, he alleged that she had
taken a twenty-five cent piece from
it. He told several me mbers of the
church that she had taken the mon
ey, and it finally came to the ears OF
the pastor, who, after service, went
to thglady and told her ofthe charge.
She denied the charge and demand
ed that they search her, which they
did not do and now, having previ-
ously borne good reputation, she
demands damages in the sum of

siapping q CIergyman's Face.

PITTSBURGH, March 6.-At Green's
burg. Pa, tonight a prominent pro-
fessional man spat in the face and
slapped the cheeks of Rev. B. J..
Jennings, of the Episcopal Church.
1t seems that at the Sunday School,
of which the professional mans wife
is teacher, Mr.. Jennings yesterday
made a remark to the effect that the
lady was untruthful. Tonight her
husband heard of it, went to the
reverend gentleman's room, in the
Zimmerman House, and made the
assault. Mr.. Jennings has been in
warm water" before, but this is the
first open outbreak. He had re-
signed from his charge and his res
ignation was accepted on Saturday.
In the early part of bis ministry
there he nearly involved himself in
an alteration at the open grave of a
dead member of his flock, and ever
since he has been losing ground.
The chastisement received tonight
is conceded on all sides to have been
merited.

Trading ON Guitcau is Crime.

WAsHINGToN. Mar. 7.--Colonel
Parker, Chief of Post Office inspect
ors, has been informed of the arrest
of r. Scudder, at Burlington, Iowa,
for fraud through the mails. 1t
appears from the report of the spe-
cial agent who made the arrest that
Scudder had been sending out circu-
lars calling for money to be used in
defense of Guiteau. He claimed in
this circular that Guiteau had been
but tool in the hands of political
ring, and that if money enough was
forth coming this fact could be
proved and would lead to the down.
fall of the party in possession of the
Government. The circulars were
signed:with an assumed name and the
money received was appropriated by
Scudder to his own uses. He was
examined by a United States Com
missioner and placed under bonds
for trial.

Fight With Indians.


SANTA FE, N. NJ, Mar. 7.-Gov-
ernor Sheldon received news from
Taos Pueblo yesterday, which, If
substantiated, is serious. 1t is to
the effect that, four days ago some
Taos Pue5los became drunk, and
were arrested and placed in Jail.
They escaped, and Deputy Sheriff 8
Miers and MARITIME started to the
Pueblos town to rearrest them.
They and their posse were met by
fifty-nine Pueblo Indians, and u
fight ensued, in which Deputy Sher-
iff Miers was killed and Deputy
Sheriff Martinez was mortally
wounded. The murderers are not
yet captured. The Taos Pueblo is
one of the richest and largest in the
Territory, and heretofore the best
feeling has existed between the Pue-
bios and surrounding Mexican
towns. OF late too much whis-
ky traffic has been going ON, which
the United States authorities should
stop. Governor Sheldon has sent
to Taos for the latest information,
and news is. hourly expected.

ed brown to ride home with him
and the latter accepted. Both were
sober, and they chatted pleasantly
until near their homes, about eight
miles from Ripley, when Brown
drawing dirk-knife, suddenly re-
marked, 1--WE had an old grudge
against you, Stout and you've got
to settle it here" They both got
out. Stout deliberately hitched his
horse, and stepping back tohis bug
gy, got an axe handle, and the duel
began without witnesses Brown
closed in on Stout and inflicted two
stabs in his side, one of them very
dangerous. Stout disengaged him
self and used the axe handle SO Wig

SPEAKING OF Stalwarts reminds
me that have letter from a citi-
zen of the Fifteenth ward of Phila-
delphia asking me to define the
meaning of the word stalwart as now
used in politics. As 1 seei by COM
ing in contact here with the repre-
sentative men of all parties, a ''stal-
wart" in politics is a man who is
honest and frank in his opinions,
and is not afraid to assert them, no
matter what the circumstances may
be. He is a man who hates hypoc-
risy and despises a person who is a
fraud. As / saw it pointedly put
the other day, "a stalwart is a man
who is alwaystrue to bis convictions.
honest in his devotion to principles,
bold and candid in the expression Of

The Historic Druggist Has to go at
Last.

the druggist, who fought such bat
tie with the temperance people
in defense of his right to sell liquor
on the prescriptions of physicians,
and who was burned up in the re-

here In which to resume his business
and will have to leave. He seems
to have intended that, however,
since he was ordered to vacate the
premises he was in at the first of
April, and when the fire broke out
he removed his showcase locked
the door, and made no effort to save
anything else.
