Aaron Burr's Pistols.

Some weeks ago, says a writer in the
Louisville Courier-Journa1, 7 ran across
perhaps the most famous and fatal fire.
arms on this continent-the superb duell-
ing pistols of Aaron Burr. They are a
bone-breaking brace of the first caliber,
and the property of Capt. Brent Hopkins
of this city. One of these pistols fired the
ball that killed Alexander Hamilton at
Weehaken. It is identified by a long,
deep notch indented on the handle. The
pistols were made by Mortimer of London,
Eng, and were imported by Burr at the
close of the revolutionary war. The bar
rels are thirteen inches long and carry an
ounce ball. They are flint locks, and the
pans for the printing are lined with gold,
same metal. They are hair triggers, and
shoot with great force and accuracy. The
locks are very superior and Of exquisite
mechanism. The pair came into posses
sion Of Capt. Brent Hopkins, the present
owner, through his uncle, Capt. GooGe
Hopkins, of the Forty-seconl regiment of
United States dragons, who purchased
them from Burr in Washington city in the
winter OF 1913 or 1911 paying $500 in gold
for them. Burrremarked at the time that
he would not let any one else have the
pistols, as he had used them with Hamil-
ton. The weapons have surely blood
stained history. They have been used
with fatal effect in eleven duels. Among
the sanguinary combats, Pettis of Vir-
ginia killed Biddie OH Bloody island, neal
St. Louis, Edward Towns of Virginia
killed Frenchman near New Orleans
Capt. Sam Goode Hopkins killed Spanish
count near Madrid, No.; Hugh Bren
killed a man from Georgia on Diam ond
Island, below Henderson, KY. They were
used several times in Virginia, twice ir
South Carolina and more than once ii
Kentucky, with deadly effect. Rober
Triplett, OF Greensboro, shot the old law
yer, Phil Thompson, of that city, through
aud through with one of them, but, strange
to say, Thompson recovered and grew IA
as bear. Henry Clay and Capt. Hopkins
were fast friends, and the former was t,
have used the pistols in one Of his duels
| but they arrived a day too late. 4s4

Dynamite in Kaffirland.

A telegram from Durham states that the
operations against Mapoch by the Beers
are proceeding slowly but surely. The de-
strnction Of their crop, and the seizure of
their cattle, disheartens the natives, as
we'll they may. The Voksstem publishes
some 'extracts from the notebook of a
special correspondent, which will show
how the wa" is carried on. The CORES
pondent is describing an attack upon the
Bokgat, one of the strongholds of the enc
my. "About a. m. Nellmapius opened
the ball in earnest with a grand dynamit e
solo, which, although it rent and tore the
stones up with terrible effect, doubtless
sending many unseen foes at wars gallop-
ing to their last mount, still called up a
scattered fire." "a second and third
charge Of dynamite were exploded, and
fired by electricity, and a number of hand
grenales thrown into the koles; and now
it may be sai, Of the dreadful Bokgat, the
place thereof shall know it no more. Pre-
sumably all the Kaffirs in it have perished
or been burned alive beneath the debris. y
It is arough and terrible warfare, where
quarter is seldom given or asked by either
party. Even the Beers, though provided
with the most modern weapons, make but
small provision for their wounded. The
correspondent from whom we have al
ready quoted says that 'svery few drugs
and chemicals, daily required, are avail

ments, etc., one may think oneself lucky

MurderOus Mothers.

OMAHA, Neb., May 17.-Mrs. Brigham,
living near Long Pine, Neb., murdered
her youngest child, a girl two years old,
Tuesday night, by cutting its throat with
butcher knife. She also cut a frightful
cash across the nose of another child, four
years old. She has been county charge
for some time, her husband having run
away with her sister two years ago. She
is generally believed to be crazy, and is
under arrest.
New York, May 17.-Alice Zimmer-
man, the young and cultured wife of Frank
Zimmerman, artist, killed her twelve days
old daughter and attempted to kill her
mother. Some days before her eonfine-
ment she took an aversion to her husband,
mother and friends, and when the baby
was born she declared she hated it. Twice
since her sickness she has attempted SUI
eide. To-day she induced her mother to
leave the room and then plunged the scis-
sors into the infants neck. She immedi-
ately attacked her mother, but was over
powered. She will be sent to an asylum.
