The Dread Messenger.
Cheyenne Sun, q.

Cheyenne Sun, q.
Sunday afternoon a singular accident
or rather an unusual one, occurred a
Schwartz's ranch on Pole Creek. A tel
| ephone instrument was being placed ir
position and Thomas Tierney was ad.
justing the wires. A storm was in pro.
gress at the time and he was warned
that there was danger, but he continued
his work. Suddenly three sharp reports
like the %intonations of a large rife rang
through the house and Tierney fell to the
floor lifeless.
The man lay for only a moment, when
consciousness returned, and an inventory
of the damage was taken. His beard was
burned, his nose and lips were black, he
was badly demoralized, and his hands
were badly burned.
Tierney was holding in his left ham a
wire attached to the instrument, whenthe
lightning struck the wires, and his right
hand held the ground wire. The wires
were not connected, 30 the entire charge
passed through his body. Some idea Of
the power of the shock can be cleaned
from the fact that the wire and a knife
held in his right hand were partially
melted and ruined by the charge after it
had passed through his body.
Tierney was brought to town yesterday
and now is in the dry dock for repairs.
The telephone instrument was demol.
ished and rendered utterly worthless.

HENRY NJ. STANLEY.
His Sudden Departure from Europe
Explained.
BOsTON, Oct. S,

BosToN, Oct. s.
A letter from Henry NJ. Stanley, dated
July IA, at Stanley Pool, Congo River, has
been received by a personal friend in this
civ.
With regard to his sudden departure from
Europe, he explains the cause as being a
sensational and exaggerated telegram printed
in the English papers, to the effect that one
of the stations had been attacked and the
chief of the expedition badly wounded. The
chief. who was heartily disliken, he found
been attacked.
1t seems that the station was partially
broken up by the personal ambition of the
young men of the party, each of whom de-
sired to succeed the chief. Mr.. Stanley
thinks the stations can be supplied with ma
tive help. The number of steamers and
boats have been increased, and altogether,
he considers that everything is most encour-
aging At Leopoldvile there are two mis-
sions-the Baptist and the Livingstone Congo
missions, and already they look quite impos-
ing in the buildings.
Stanley saws, 'since l arrived on the
Congo last December l have been up as far
as the equator and have established two more
stations. and besides discoving another lake
have explored for hundred miles or there
abouts the river known on my map as the
"Ikelember,' but which is really the Malun.
Ger. 1t is not so long as is stated in my
book but the stream is the size of the Ar
kansas, deep, broad and very navigable. The
big stream which / expect must drain
the longest part of the South Congo
basin must be somewhere higher up. Hav.
ing become better acquainted with the country
