! Cooper while in town last Thursday was ac- 1 posted by gentlemanly dressed man near | the corner of Church and Center streets, who politely addressing him said that he (the stranger) had made money out West and was | desirous of buying a farm, and his friend apparently being a farmer might perhaps
 know of one he could buy. The stranger was particularly solicitous that the farm should be near school and 8 church. MT. cooper was not unwilling to part with his
 own farm. and so told the stranger, and after
 some talk the latter made an appointment to
 meet Cooper later. Mir. Cooper was soon after acoosted by 8 dapper young
 man with a fluent address, who
 knew Cooper, at least his father did.
 The father was ''Mr. Henry l.. Hotchkiss
 of the bank" the young man added, and
 would MT. Cooper like a copy of a history of
 Connecticut, of which the young man had
 two which he had drawn in lottery. MT.
 Cooper wasn't anxious but the young man persuaded him to go to the house saying it
 was only few steps distant. MT. Cooper was taken by the young man down Church to Elm, to St. John, to Olive, to the house, entering which he found seated at table a man wearing goggles and with powdered whiskers. Despite the disguise MT. Cooper recognized him as the man who had wanted to buy his farm. The histories of Connec- ticut the two men found were not in, had just stepped out, or, rather. had been sent to the binders in New York to be rebound, not being in perfect condition. Mr. Cooper began to think it was time for him to be going, but the strangers induced him to pick up 6 card among several lying on the table, on looking at which they ex- claimed: ''Why, MT. Cooper, you have drawn $1, 900, and taking out roll of bills handed Mir. Cooper $1. 900 bill Mir. Cooper thought this kind of generosity to suspic ious and said again 1t was time for him to be going and declined to keep the bill, despite pressing invitations to accept it.. He left the house and going back to Church street com municated the facts to friend and relative who gave the case to the police The name Hotchkiss having been given led to connect ing Mt. William A. Hotchkiss' name and his residence with the case.

The Confidence Exploit.


 The Wrong Man and the Wrong House Farmer Cooper With Detective Brewer Finds the Right Place.
 Farmer Russell Cooper, of Centerville, whom confidence men sought to entrap, tive Brewer and MT. William A. Hotchkiss picked out the house in Olive street where the confidence men had been last Thursday. It was not Mir. Hotchkiss house, as was first reported in some of the papers, but the house on the corner of Olive and Greene streets. Both Mir. Hotchkiss' residence and the one on the corner are much alike in ap- pearRnce, and the mistake was one stranger might easily make. Mir. Cooper was taken into the corner house and identified the room where the strangers had him in tow, and also rscollected that there was a different entrance to the corner house from that of MT. Hotch- kiss. MT. Hotohkiss was quite surprised on getting home from his days business at the freight department of the Consolidated railroad on Water street to find that he was suspected of being one of pair of confidence rascals who had been trying to fleece farm- ers but was not very much alarmed as it was easy enough for him to prove that he was at his business all day moreover, all who know MT. Hotchkiss know that he is a worthy citi- zen of reputation and character. The peo- pie residing at the corner house on learning what the detective wanted most cheerfully and gladly added their evidence in the case, viz, that they rented front room to two men apparently gentlemen, who had occupied it on the day of the attempted vietimization of Mir. Cooper and had left it on the next day, saying they would return on Thursday-yes- terday. Mir. Hotchkiss has, of course, a most complete vindication of the case, all that he could desire. He drove over to MT. Ooopers on Sunday in company with a friend, MT. Bristol, and Mir. Cooper had not the slightest difficulty in discovering that MT. Hotchkiss and the confidence men were totally different parties. MT. Cooper came to the city Tuesday and went over the same route that he took on Thursday last in going to the Olive street house, making the trip, as stated. with Detective Brewer and Mir. Hotchkiss: The correct story of the conf dence business is briefly as follows: Mr.

 CONCORD, August. 2.-The second ballot to-day for United States Senator for six years from the 4th of March next, at 2:30 p. m., resulted in the election of Austin F.

Changes from others to Pike were rapidly made after the ballot ing began and when enough had been made to elect him the applause was deafening. A committee was appointed to escort MT. Pike to the hall and he made Q brief speech in which he said he had grave doubts as to whether they had made the best choice. The position had come to him entirely unsought and undesired, but such ability as he had he would give to the duties of the office and would try to be the Senator of the people and not of party.

From BelSravia.l

Once upon time the wild asses, the ona- gers, were the only representatives of the family, and they were so swift of foot and so courageous that the east and south wore their hides as robes of honor, and kings and chiefs took the wild ass for their cognizance ass skin round their necks that they might grow up generous and brave. Did Ali, ''the Lion of the Lord, D intend any disparagement of the Prophets fsvorite horse when he named his own donkey Duldul after it Thus prized, the wild ass soon came under domes- tication, and the under-sized drudge of the
 London streets is the latest and most degrad- ed variation of the species. But intermedi ate
 between the proud vagabond of the desert and the costermopger's ''moke" come many
 animals more worthy, physically, of their
 lineage. In Egypt the white ass still claims
 something of the respect and fetches the
 high price, of olden days, and during the
 Egyptian war remember seeing more than one of these animals figuring conspiouously in the British camp. Sir Henry Havelock
 did not disdaiu to add one to his cortege, and
 the Hon. W. Fitzpatrick, member of Parjia-
 ment rode to the front, as used to ride the 50 sons of Jair. All over Asia Minor the
 donkey of superior caste is the recognized
 ''hack" of the well to do, and I have seen
 them not only in the Levant, but in Southern Europe and in Eastern Africa, sumptuously caparisoned as steeds, and of size and form that dignifed their office far better than some
 of the ponies of the Cossacks of the Don,
 Tattoos of India, the bronchos of Wes
 America, or the rat-like chargers of Beluchi warriors. have seen in the flesh all the animals I mention, and do not write, there fore, without foundation, or from any merely whimsical desire to rehabilitate the poets butt And I have overwhelming authority from the past for my respect for donkeys. The purely stupid ass was unknown to an tiquity. Take Hindu mythology alone. There we find the donkey in divine, demo

 moraled-but never ignominious or ridicu. lous- The ass of India is potent parsonage, and, as the warrior that conquers at Yamas,
 rises to the dignity of the solar hero, the sun itself. Or, if you will, take the more familiar
 Greek and Latin. What was the ass Lucius but the sun Sacred to Baochus, it paced along triumphant in Dionysian feasts it was honored, as it well deserved, in the worship of Vesta and sacrificed as worthy offering to the god of war.

How 1t Feels to be struck by Lightning
 gnri,,naald

From the Springfield Republican,
 Curtis B. Wells, of this city, has received letter from Henry M. Burt, detailing the ! editors experience with lightning MT. | Burt certainly had narrow escape. He writes
 ''A little after six o'clock Saturday night was in my office Gin the Old Summit House l on Mount Washington), and had just given l directions to Darby about making up form, when all at once felt tremendous blow in 1 the back. could not imagine at first what caused it, but instantly thereafter I saw 8
 ball of fire as large as mans head directly in front of me, not three feet of. It ex- ploded with tremendous noise, seemingly as loud as cannon, and thea I knew what
 must have happened. My left leg seemed to be completely paralyzed, and I fell to the floor. Three of my printers were in the
 room at the time, two sitting at the table
 near and one standing up little further of. The latter had the skin on one hand | torn up, another was hit in the back, and the l third escaped without injury. At first felt ! as though ball had gone through my body ! and that all below had been shot away. l was startled and confounded, but did not
 lose consciousness. The young man who
 could get out of the office ran to the hotel, | the Summit House. and told what had hap
 pened. Help came immediately, and was l removed to my room in the hotel and un-
 dressed. Dr. Strong, g medical student of
 Harvard, took my case in charge and treated | me with great skill. In the course of two or l three hours I could begin to move my leg a l very little. This (Monday) morning I find ! myself quite comfortable, though I cannot | walk without cane, and my leg pains me
 considerably. I can assure you that it was a 1 narrow escape from instant death. and for
 one do not care to go through another ex-
 perience like it. As the storms are all, or
 most of them, below the summit we have 1 very little fear of being struck by lightning.
 In fact, for thirty years no one has been hurt, or had such a narrow escape from
 death. It is an old saying that lightning
 never strikes twice in the same place, and I am sure do not to have 1t. We were all the more surprised from the fact that til the bolt came in we had no idea of the presence of electric storm It had begun to rain little, but there had been flashes
 of lightning. It was as startling as it would
 have been to get clap of thunder out of 8
 clear sky. You have probably heard of the impression of tree being found upon the
 bodies of those killed by lightning. The
 same thing was noticed upon my back, and
 as there are no trees on Mount Washington, it seems to me that the peculiar appearance
 must be the result of the blood settling in the smaller veins."
