EXECUTED FROM AMBUSH.
Two Members of Gang OF Missouri
Horss-fhieves and Barnburners Way
laid and Removed With Buckshot-
sketch of the Chief Villain who Was
Thus Suddenly Cut Down.

ST. Louis, Mo-, August 31.-Informa-
tion is just received here that Mack
MarsGen and Allen HensleY were way
laid aud shot late Wednesday night near
the little town of Antonio, IN Jefferson
County. Marsden was the head of the
desperate gang of ruffians who stole
stock from the farmers and sold it in
st. Louis. They have committed sew
eral murders, burned barns, terrorized
farmers, and committed all sorts of
deviltry for long time. On one occa.
sion they actually routed a party of cit
izens who had started out to find Mack,
with the express purpose of lynching
him. The gang were regarded as so
strong and reckless, however, that very
few citizens had the temerity to express
any very decided opinions concerning
them. One night over year ago the
Vail was discovered in flames, and whel
the neighbors hurried to the scene
and put the fire out the old man was
found murdered OF the floor near his
bed. The next day it was learned that
Mack Marsden bad visited the old man
that night. and, being spoken to, he said
it was true, and that he had paid Vail
800 that he owed him. His theory was
that thieves had witnessed the payment
through a window, and that after he left
they entered and robbed the old man
and fired the building, as he had seen
the reflection of the flames on the sky
before he reached home. Marsden was
afterwards caught passing money which
had belonged to Vail. As soon as there
was talk of prosecuting him for
the murder his gang began a systematic
series of operations to intimidate or kill
Off all the witnesses who could testify
against him. They ambushed houses,
aud even set fire to them to drive the in
nsates ont so they could be shot down.
,veral Of the witnesses took refuge in
iaiI snd two were brought to St. Louis
for safety. Mack was indicted, how
ever. but the testimony was not sufficient

Bill Nye,S Hornets.

Last fall l decided to add to my rare
collection o large hornets nest. L had
an embalmed tarantula and her porce-
an-lued nest, and l desired to add to
these the gray and airy home of the
hornet. / procured one of the large

my cabinet by a string. forgot about
it until this spring. When warm
weather came, something reminded me
of it. l think it was a hornet. He
logged my memory in some way, and
called nay attention to it. Memory is
not located where L thought it was. 1t
seemed as though whenever be touched
me he awakened memory-a warm
memory with red place all around it.
Then some more hornets came and be-
gan to rake up old personalities. 1 re-
member that one of them lit on my up

anything else, and ne came and lit in my

THE ATLANTIC GALE.
Ii Struck the Coast of Nc wa Scotia With
Great tSeverity-Vessels Driven Ashore
and Ground to Pieces-Others Washed
Upon the strand aud Badly Damaged.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, August 81
Wednesday nights gale Is asserted TO
be the heaviest August storm experience
ed In this region since the disastrous one
of 1878, and reports of its results now
| coming to hand indicate that there will
| be cause to make it as long remembered
as that of ten years ago. Early In the
evening the wind, which bad been blow
ing heavily from the eastward, changed
to the southeast, 'Acreased great
ly in violence, and shortly before
midnight, moving round to the
northeast, grew still stronger and for the
succeeding hours ragged with awful
power. When at its heaviest the wind,
1t is estimated, blew with the velocity
of fifty miles an hour. The brig G.
w. Anderson, from Porto Rico, laden
with sugar was driven ashore during
the night between the south end of the
city and Point Pleasant, and was taken
off leaking in the morning. The United
States war-sbip Swatara, which was
lying in the middle of the harbor, dragged
her anchor for some distance and was
almost carried against one OF the city
wharves. The steamer Brantford City,
which grounded two weeks ago at Little
Harbor, Shelbourn, while on passage
from Halifax to Boston, had been lying
in favorable position TO be taken otf
and brought to this port for repairs, but
was rendered total wreck. The violent
wind ground her to pieces on the
shore, and what cargo remain
ed on board is now float
ing about and being saved by boats.
The A. B. Crosby, schooner OF 1S5
tons register, which went on Halfmoou
rocks, near Darlington, several weehs
ago, while bound from Grow Bay, CAPE
Breton, with cargo of coal for Boston,
was beaten to pieces, her broken hui
being found on the beach. The schooner
Amos B., Capt. Hanson, which arrived at
st. Pierre few days ago from Boston,
was driven ashore in the harbOr. The
schooner Maggie +. ran ashore in the
harbor of Mainadieu, Cape Breton,
where she arrived several days ago from
Halifax, and is reported to be total
wreck. Reports from Canso state that
four schooners, the Sea Gull, Belle of
the Bay, Helen and May, and Four
Brothers are ashore, and all badly in
jured.

fact that hundreds Of thousands of other
foreigners nave discovered, often to their

workingman of American birth is not as
picturesque ss his European brother.
How can be be, when he always works as
if in q great hurry to get through? The
American has no equal as a worker, but
not because he loves toll or cannot restrain
himself. The secret of his energy is
that he he's an object beyond the mere
feeding and clothing of bis family; he
wants TO better his condition. He
knows that the majority of rich or pros

Concerning Certain Relics Of the
Past-DOgS that Have
Had Their Day..

George Stepheuson's Rocket" and the mag.
nificent locomotives of to-day. are bultupon the
same general principle, yet the machine with
Whlch the great engineer astOnished his age, is
interesting now only an illustration of the be-
ginning OF the invention. There were plasters
with holes in them long before BENSONS CAP
CINE POROUS PLASTER surprised both the
publicand the physicians ana the triumph OF
the Capcine is founded upon the partial sue
cesses, or the utter failures of its predecessors.
Everything of value in the old porous plaster lie
retained in the Capeine; but at this point all
comparison ends, and contrast begins. For ex-
ample:
The old plasters were slow in their action; the
Capelne is quick and sure.
The old pasters lacked the power to do more
than to impart slight. temporary relief in cases
easy of treatment; the Capcine penetrates the
system and permanently cures the troubles for
which it is recommended.
The cid plasters depend for any good results
they might attain, upon an accident of their
makers and the naked faith of their wearers; the
Benson's reaches its end by means of the scie1-
tific combination OF the rare medicinal ingredt-
ents which it contains.
In brief. the old plasters, like Stephensons dis
carded engine, are switcheGoff the track, while
the Bensons goes it's way winning golden
opinions from all sorts of people.
Yet in this very fact lies The leading danger to
the people who buy and use this reliable and
scientific remedy. "Hypocrisy is the tribute
vice pays to virtue" Imitation is the conces-
sion failure makes to success. Benson's Plasters
are parodied In name and style.
