Tarred and Feathered.

BRooKvILLE, Ind, September
14.-For several weeks past Il couple
of Mormon elders have been prowl
ing around in different parts of this
county preaching their creed when
ever they could secure the use of a
church or schoolhouse. They spent
considerable time in the neighbor-
hood of Laurel and were given accom-
modation5 by Mr.. D w. Adams. Zone
of the best citizens of that neighbOr-
hood. They left there for other
fields, and on Monday last an eight
teen year old daughter Of Mr.. Adams
disappeared from home.
Search was instituted and she was
found concealed in a house at Cedar
Grove, where the elders are stopping.
She had been enticed away from her
home by one of the elders, and was
a candidate from Utah. She, how
ever returned home with her father.
indignation ran high. The elders
last light were stopping at the res
idence of Mr.. Ellison, a couple OF
miles from Laurel, and during the
night they were called on by about
POO Of the best citizens of fthat neigh
borhood. They were forced to un-

A Bloody Quarrel.

GALVESTON, September 12-At
Trinity, yesterday, Major III. B.
Hurlock a mill owner, and his son,
w. III. Hurlock aged % years, was
shot by one oftheir employees named
Roseman, % years of age. W. H.
Hurlock is now dead and his fathers
wounds are pronounced mortal.
The shooting occurred at a house
near Hurlock's mill. A young son
of Major Hurlock had been annoying
Roseman, who in endeavoring to
make him desist, accidentally injured
the child's foot, whereupon the Ma
jor showered abuse and blows upon
Roseman. The latter declining to
resent this treatment the Major call
ed to him to come out and
whip him. The sons blows quickly
put Roseman on the ground, when
the latter drew a revolver and shot
his adversary though the head and
heart. The Major then reached for
his pistol when Roseman shot him
also. The murderer then coolly
went upstairs, procured another
revolver and barricaded himself.
The mill employees had by this
time gathered on the premises. The
lady of the house entreating Rose
man to leave, he complied, remark
ing, Il will for you; you are a wo-
man." When Roseman left the house
the men opened fire upon him and
after filling him with goose-shot, Sc
cured him. After Roseman's capture
Major Hurlock, despite his wounds
beat him until the bystanders inter-
fered.

Rioting at Canton.

LONDON, September 14.--Additional
details from Hong Kong of the out
beak at Canton on Monday, says
that the riot began at S o'clock In
the morning. AS previously stated
the trouble was caused by quarrel
between some Chinese and a Portu-
CUES watchman on the quay. Dur
ing the latter part of the riot some OF
the merchants armed themselves to
defend their property. The party
consisted of nine Germans and three
Englishmen. They fired into the
mob, killing five Cinnamon and
woundirg many more. The arrival
of Chinese troops finally checked the
mob.
There are now two British, one
French and five Chinese gunboats
moored in the river abreast the for
eign settlement. The Chinese have
placards on the walls of the city ap-
plauding the action of the popula
ace and calling upon them to kill the
Europeans at the next opportunity
which presents itself The different
consuls at Canton admit that the sit
uation Is very serious, and that the
future of the European colony is
gloomy in the extreme. There is
almost open war between the native
and foreign elements, and it will be
necessary to have men of war in the
harbor for long time to comes as q
measure of protection.
The houses burned by the mob
included ten English, one American
two German and one French. The
consuls have forwarded to the Vice
roy an indentical note, holding him
answerable for the destruction ofthe
properties, becaus he failed to promp
tly send troops when advised Of the
disorder. Three Cinnamon, who
were caughtin the act cf plundering
property, and the Portuguese, who
were the immediate cause of the
outbreak, are now imprisoned at the
British consulate.

A Thrilling Experience.

BRADFORD. September 13.-Wm.
patterson, a Buffalo man, who had
business interests IN the Mexican
county oil regions, tells the story OF
most extraordinary adventure
which he and his wife and two chill
dren had in the Kinzua wilderness a
few nights ago, the entire family be-
ing saved from a most horrible
death through the merest accident.
The party left Bradford in the even
ing to drive to an isolated settle
ment known as Howard Hill. Mr..
PATTERSON lost his way and his horse
wandering at random through the
woods, happened to strike the track
of the Jacksonburg Extension of the
Erie Railroad. Feeling that neither
his wife nor children could stand a
night of exposure in the mountains,
he resolved to drive along the rail-
road track, in the hope of coming to
some road crossing track or some
station near by. After about hun
dred yards they came to a bridge, on
one side of which was a narrow
plank walk, the railroad track occu-
pying the remainder of the bridge.
This was the great Kinzua Viaduct
which spans rayine at the bottom
of which flows the Rinzua creek.
The bridge is the highest railroad
bridge in the world, being 800 feet
above the creek, and is nearly half a
mile long. He determined to cross,
and started the horse on the foot
path, the wheels running roughly
over the timbers. A gust of wind
blew out the lantern which he car
ried and he could not relight it. He
succeeded in getting over in safety
and entered a deep, narrow cut,
and wrapt in still greater darkness.
That they were not ground to pieces
in that way was owing only to the
fact that coal train which was due
at the cut at the very time was 6e-
tanned a mile below by a hot journ-
al. The party emerged from the cut
and discovered the light at Palen's
switch. The horse and carriage
were turned from the track into the
road leading alongside of it to the
station, and Mrs. Patterson and her
children had reached a place Of safe
ty Just as the train rushed by and
thundered into the cut. Mrs. Bat
terson tainted as soon as she realized
the danger she had so fortunately
escaped.

that her lover had been falthless and
transferred his affections 10 another.
Johann soon married his new lOye
and, the following h.,v tie fiir but
heartbroken Paula made will be-
queathing to Johann's wife her trous-
seau and considerable property, and
sent q farewell letter to her old lover
embodying a fearful curse upon his
perfdy, and adding that she would
quit the world. She disappeared
and a week later her lifeless body was
found upon the lake shore she hav-
ing rowed in boat away out in the
lake and leaped into the water with
4 stone tied to her neck. At the
morgue Johann Unidentified the body
but appeared next day and mildly
stated he was mistaken as he had
seen Paula in the park. He became
more and more excited and claimed

day and night repeating her terrible
curse. Overwhelmed with remorse
the poor man became distracted and
to-day was sent to the asylum undeI
