DoRsEY's srATEMENT CONFIRMED

Testimony of the Hon. Thomas j

From the Brooklyn Elgle.l
'NO part of the statement published

had no faith in Gen. Garfield because he
had already fooled me once. 1 was do
ing my best to make up a good Star
route service for the benefit of the peO-
pie of the Far West, and not for the
benefit of myself or Dorsey or anybody
else. The raising of the $4,000 cam
paign money could not have been the
result of any conspiracy between Dorsey
and myself, for at that time we were on
unfrtendly terms. He wanted to have
Dewitt Clinton Wheeler put into my
place, but he finally subsidized and 1

promised to take care of Delaware and
the adjoining counties in Indiana, be-
cause Delaware is my native place, and
wanted to make Delaware the banner
county of the State. We had really as
much of fight there in November as in
October, because it was necessary to fol-
low up the victory. Where two dollar
bill sufiiced in the former month a five
dollar bill had to be expended in OctO-
bPr, and as Dorsey says, they we're crisp
and new, and seemed like shower from
heaven to our people,"
How did you come to fall out with
DOrsey?"
81 didn't fall out with him. Think the
Dorsey routes were ia in number. and
found that some of them were useless. /
thought that the money expended in
their support should be spent in some
other direction, and that made Dorsey
angry. We are friends now, but he was
not my friend them"
'How do you know that Garfield ap-
proved of the raising of the $4,000 which |
Dorsey says you received?'
Dorsey went to Gen. Arthur and he |
was willing to give written authority |
for the collection of the money, but the |
authority should come from Garfield. |
This was communicated to Garfield, who |
thereupon wrote the Jay Hubbell letter. |
l didn't think needed any better au-
thoTIty, and | raised the money at once.
As matter of personal pride spent |
$1,000 out of my own pocket in Della
ware county,"
Well, how had Garfield fooled you?"
when Key was Postmaster General
and Tyner his Assistant, Garfield prom
ised to me his influence with the Com
mittee on Appropriations, of which he
had been chairman, to have extra ap-
made. He made this prom
lse to Tyner and Ex-Governor Shepherd
and myself, declaring that he would not
only vote for the appropriations but de-
fend them in the House. He found it
convenient. however, to go to Hiram
College to deliver lecture, and went no
further in the direction of keeping his
promise than pairing off. He fooled me
once, and didn't trust him."

SWAPPING DOLLARS AT THE BAR

A man, evidently stranger in this
part of the country, entered saloon on
main street, threw down an American
dollar, and called for a drink. The bar
keeper waited on him, and handed back
a Mexican dollar. The man looked first
at the dollar and then at the bar-keeper,
and then in a tone of surprise he asked:
us this all right, strangerP" The bar
keeper answered in the affirmative. The
man gazed around in pOint-blank aston
ishment. 'Is that the way you do busi-
ness in this country" he asked Again
he was answered in the affirmative.
Stranger" said the man, "Tm going to
stay here; I've been hunting for this
town, 10, these many years. This is the
first place ever saw where man could
swap dollars and get drink to boot. l

Remarkable Escape of Family I'm How
sell County, Missouri.

Remarkable Escape of "A Family In How
.ell County, Missouri.
Mr.. Mitchell, who lives about six miles
south of West Plains, had his house
blown down on the night of the tornado.
Hearing the approach of the terrible
storm he told his wife to gather the chill
dren and get into the cellar with them
as speedily as possible, at the same time
bracing himself against the outside
door to prevent it from blowing open,
and calling to his assistance his Oldest
child, lad some ten years of age. The
cellar was no more than q hole excaVat-
ed under the floor, scarcely large enough
TO hold half dozen persons in a stand
ing position, and reached by q trap.
After holding the door alone a moment,
Mitchell turned to see If the boy was be-
side him, and, as he was not there con-
cluded that the lad had also taken re-
fuge in the cellar, and so, abandoning
the door, he also jumped into the hole,
and not moment too soon, for as he
did so the crash came. The logs of his
house flew in all directions, and the
lamp went out on the instant, leaving
all In utter darkness, only as silighted bY
mOmentary flashes of the most binding
lightning. -'.+

then he heard the muffled sounds of a
child half crying. half choking. He felt
around in the group of children and one
was missing. Then he jumped out up
on the door and guided by the sounds,
crawled over the fallen timbers till he
reached the little fellows bed. One of
the two logs of the side of the house had
been thrown inwardly, an end resting
upon the few end logs OF the house that

dropped upon the bed, which 1T had
crushed nearly to the floor, while upon
it, with head covered with quilts to shut
out the horrors of the night, lay the boy,
with the heavy leg lying directly across
his face.
Mastering all his strength, Mr..
Mitchell lifted the log and released the
little fellow who, strange as it may seem
was more frightened than hurt, but
would have smOthered to death in a few
moments had he not been relieved

THE COUNTESS.
Adventures of GaIIaat Abbe and a FaIr
italian Dame.
Abbe KInne.

Adventures of n Gallaat Abbe and q Fair
italian Dame.
A case will shortly be tried in the
Paris law courts in which gallant
abbe will figure as principal witness
and in which piquant disclosures are to
De expected. Some days ago remark
ably handsome lady, representing her
self as an Italian countess, called on
the we'll known COmmissary of Police,
NJ. TOmasi, and gave information of the
robbery of some costly family Jewels
from her apartments in the Rue Lafa-
yette, stating that her suspicious rested
on one OF her servants. M. TOmasi who,
besides being an exemplary official is
not proof against the charms of the fair
sex, went forthwith to make the neces-
sary Investigations. After a lengthy ex-
animation he failed to discover the
slightest clue to the alleged robbery,
aud on the completion of his inquiry
was shown into beautiful drawing
room to await the arrival of the cOun-
tess, with whom he wished to discuss
the advisability Of taking further meas
uTes. E.. E.|FI
Although some time elapsed before
her arrival he found himself we'll Occu-
pied in admiring the lovely works of
art with which the rooms were furn-
ished, and particularly some very Valu-
able specimens of the old masters. All
at once his attention was attracted to a
painting of Judith by Muriflo, which
awOke several strong recOlIpctiOns in his
mind, but while he was thinking over
the matter the countess entered and dis
turbed his medItatiOns. After his inter
view with her he went home, referred
to his official records to refresh his
memory with regard to the MurillO,
aud found that d certain Spanish adj
YentuTess had obtained this picture, to-
gether with a large sum of money, from
a too cOnfiding abbe. "Can it be-" he
questioned, "that this adventures and
the Italian beauty are the same person %
He at-Once communicated with the
abbe, who soon arrived and accompanied
him to the cOuntesss rooms. As soon as
the lady caught sight of the abbe she
recognized him, screamed out and was
arrested. 1t is needless to saw
that her patent of nobility was not as
old as her MurillO, as she turned out to
be one Bertha GOnzalVes, the daughter
OF jOurneyman tailor, her mother be
ing the prOprietress of small green
grOcer's shop. She is said to have made
many victims in the character of a
Polish Countess, and the able was only
one of her numerous dupes in her Span
ish character.

A DEADLY ENCouNrrR.
A Grizzly Kicked to Death b,
Jack.

A Grizzly Kicked to Death by a
Jack.
A fight is on record in the courts at
PescadeTo between jack weighing 75O
pounds and grizzly bear of about the
same weight. The jack is owned by a
man named Ipse and is a vicious brute.
A man named Black, raiser of bIOOded
cattle in that neighbOrhOOd, had been
troubled for several weeks by the visits
Of grizzly, which killed and carried off
calf every night, and all his efforts to
capture the bear had been unavailing.
Finally he advertised in several papers
of the State, Offering a reward of $50 to
any person who would kill the bear.
lpse read the offer and resolved to take
his jack to the corral and see what the
result would be. Accordingly the lack
was duly installed. In the night along
came the grizzly, and, seeing the lack
and fancying a change of diet, he made
an attack upon him; but as no one saw
the fight 1t Is supposed that bTnin made
the first overture. Anyway, next morn
ing When the corral was visited, bTuin
lay stark and dead, and the Jack was
quietly feeding off the pile of hay. An
inspection of him disclosed the fact that
his breast and sides were feaTfnlIy
laeerated by the bears claws and one of
his fore feet was dislOcated. But bruin
was "all broke up" He had his lower
jaw smashed to pieces; all of his ribs on
the port side were stove in and one of
his fore legs were fractured at the should
or, and he was generally smashed all
over Ipse naturally claimed the reward
OF 500, but Black refused to pay it, claim
ing that jack was not person and
therefore, was not entitled to the re-
ward. All Ipse's arguments falling, he
resolved to have recourse to law, and
accordingly suit has been brOught.-San
