The Misfortune That he Says In
duced Him to Become a
HOrse-Thief.

C.R. Writers owns farm two
miles from LIE Roy, N. Y, worth
sl2, 900, and it is said he is worth as
much more. I r. Babcock is prom
inent farmer living near Hornellsvllie,
N. Y. On the 28th of May last, as
Mr.. Babcock came out ola store in
that place, he saw a stranger examin-
ing his horse, which was tied In front
of the store. On seeing Babcock the
stranger, who was a welldressed. re-
spectable-looking man, of middle age,
asked him if he wanted to sell the
horse, which was a valuable one.
Receiving a negative reply, the
stranger then informed Babcock that
he was the agent of a patent potato
digging machine, and that be would
send him a circular that might induce
him to buy one. Mr.. Babcock then
drove away. On the afternoon Of the
same day Mr.. Babcock's hired man
drove the horse to Hornellsville, and,
tying him in front of a barbershop,
went in to get shaved. When he
came out the horse was gone, and no
trace of it could be found in or about
the village. The potato-digger agent
was at once suspected as having stolen
the property, but, as no one knew
where he came from or what hi:
name was. he could not be followed.
After weeks of search Mr.. Babcock
gave up his horse as lost.
One day last week Mr.. Babcocl
received a circular describing paten,
potato-dlgger. It was post-marked
lie Roy, and bore the signature Of G

A NEW MANIA
Cranks Who Want to Follow Capt
Webb's Example.

A letter from Niagara Falls says
There is a regular mania-saicidal
some say,-of men who have a de.
sire to swim the whirlpool rapids and
the apparently quiet maelstrom itself.
After brave Capt. Webb's fatal at
tempt to buffet the torrent, the first
imitator to appear here was DIR. d
w. G. Richardson. of Washington.
He appeared at the international
hotel on Monday, Aug. 13, and asked
for a room. He did not register.
Soon afterward he returned and con.
fded the fact to Jack Rogers, the
clerk. that he should ego over the
falls i'm a rubber balloon, and swim
through the whirlpool, and come up
at Lewiston. Mr.. Rogers laughed at
him, Richardson went out and indulg.
ed in some more conviviality, which
he seemed to enjoy more than the
scenery. On his return he said /:
1--WE seen the rapids, and (hic) PIl
swim them up stream" He was then
requested to register, and he tried to
do SO His attempt was unsuccessful
and MIR. Rogers was compelled to
write the name, which he said was
c.. Richard on. He was conducted
to Lis room, but he left on the first
train in the morning and has not been
heard from slice.
Capt. Paul Boyton was here a
year ago, and it was reported that he.
too, had been seized with the lever.
but it is not so. He was here a year
ago, and after looking at the tumult
of wafer said No living man can
pass through that torrent" Biibo,
the English swimmer. who is said to
be better natationist than Capt.
Webb, has threatened to try to swim
through the rapids, but it is thought
here that he simply saws SO for the
sake of notoriety. w. S. Camp, of
Lockport, made a very safe PROPOSE
ton. He said that if any party
would take boat and 60 down the
rapids, and stake out good. safe
course, he would swim over it for
81 100000. Joseph Raven, another
Lockport many, says that he will
swim the rapids If somebody will raise
a purse for him, to be given to his
mother in case he meets with no better
success than did Capt. Webb. He
claims to be familiar with the water.
James Scott, of Suspension Bridge.
threatened 10 emulate Capt. Webb
until an unkind citizen said i:
1--WE wish you would ; the community
would be better of without you.
Mcbride, the Buffalo bargemen, was
going to swim the whirlpool with the
help of balloon on Sunday last, but
he did not try it.
James Duck, of Montreal, wrote to
the proprietors of a hotel here, saying
that as he swan the Lachine rapids
he thought he could safely pass
through the whirlpool rapids. As q
reward for his devotion to prospective
suicide, he wanted $500, but neither
it nor the man was forthcoming.

A FIGHTING PREACHER.
The Pastor OF q Providence
Church Doffs Bis Coat to q
COntumacious Deacon

| lnere is tr-uOle In the SDn9uOn
Street Baptist church of Providence
X. l., and the relations between pas
tor. deacons, and lofty have become
so inharmOuious that unless the trout
bles are amicably settled, and tina,
speedily, there will be little hope fol
Christian work i'm that quarter. The
p stor, Rev. James w. Mitchell. has
been with the church about five
years and came from Toronto, Ont.
He resides in East Providence,
and has a family. The pastor.
who appears To have considerable
of the bulldog tenacity in his compost
tion, last winter had a serious dis
pute with Deacon Moses j. Ford
about the purchase of coal used in the
church, which caused much ill-feeling.
At the regular church meeting, held
Thursday evening, another contrnver-
sy arose regarding collection taken
by the pastor aud Deacon Green. The
latter was asked by DeacoI Ford
what became Of it. Deacon Green
who is the treasurer Of the church.
replied to Deacon Ford's question bv
saying that he should never know in
regard TO the money or what had
been done with it. Deacon Ford
arose to speak. when the pastor !egan
to sing a hymn. in which few join
ed. There was instant confusion
among both elements present, caused
by Deacon Fords proclaiming above
the noise of the singing that he
should stand there until he was given
a hearing. Order was restored finally
and one of Deacon Green's friends
moved to adjourn. which was lost.
The pastor. probably excited by the
disturbance, unwisely began per-
sonal discussion with Mr.. Adam
Lewis. one of the members of the
church, and lost his temper. He be-
gan to doff his coat and told Levi
that he could knock him out in FIVE
minutes. Several members interfer-
ed and rushed between the two men.
whereat the reverend gentleman went
to the stove, and, selling the cover.
threatened to annihilate anyone with
with it who contradicted him. The
scene at this moment was wild and
exciting, and the clergyman had evil
IDENTIFY forgotten himself. for he jump
ed upon a seat near the pulpit, and
with one foot resting on the seat and
the other on the pulpit, and the holy
bible on the floor, he shook his f.;
menacingly at his opposers. Yrs.
Mitchell apparently imbibed snme of
the fiery spirit of her husband. for she
also, it is stated. used her tongue free
ly toward these she thought were
against Der husband, and shock her
fist in their faces. In the meantime
Deacon Green had warmed up TO the
ARRAY, and with all the fiery ardor Of
his younger days dotted his cont amt
was bent on knocking out Deacon
Ford. They were separated, and the
meeting broke up in dire confusion
just as a policeman, who had been
summoned, entered. At a meeting
Of the church board. held subsequent
ly, the pastor preferred charges
aginst Deacon Ford, whom he termed
a disturber of the peace and ring
leader of an element to split the
church. There is danger that the
difficulty may be ventilated before
the cOu rts.

THE COWBOY'S DUEL.
How a Philadelphia Proved that
ne Was Not a Northern
Coward"

n letter 10 the new DIX Suu lTbUl
Camp RIO Pecos. New Mexico, says:
Gus Davis, of Philadelphia, came mere
some months ago, and vas engaged as
cattle herder by Mr.. joan Shure,
wealthy stock-owner. Davis soon
showed himself TO he a useful man,
and gained the esteem OF his employer
and the envy f the other herders. In
less than three months he had resisted
SO many temptations to quarrel with
his Mexican associates q a. he was
nicknamed "rhe Northern Coward. Z"
One morning, about three weeks
agn, while laws was on duty looking
after his cattle. Jesus Garcia, Mexi-
can, salut-d him, as usual. with Good
morning. Northern Coward"
Human endurance has its limit, and
Mr.. Davis thought he had b-en in
suited long enough. The Mexican
was at first surprised at the stand
taken by the Philadelphia. but word
brought on word, until each determin-
ed that the other must die.
TIE quarrel soon brought all the
neighbOring cowboys to the spot
The mode of combat was speedily ar
ranged.
A chain thirty inches long was Sc
curely locked about their necks. A
Mexican dagger. a two-edged knife
six inches long, was given to each of
the duelists. The obliging cowboys
then lowered the men into dog canon
a descent of seventy-6ve feet. There
they were to remain until one killed
the other. A KEY to. the lock was
given to each, and no one was allowed
to interfere further. The rest of the
cowboys then went to uork as if moth
ing unusual had occurred.
For some days nothing was known
as to the result of the encounter Yes
terday, however, Davis, very weak and
emaciated, returned to camp, drag
ging after him the iifeles- boiy If
Jesus Garcia.
The story Mr. Davis tells is as
follows: The fight began as soon as
We reached the bottom of the canon.
Being locked together. each was al
ways within reach If the Others knife.
After such deliberation as the few
moments during our descent permitted.
| decided that unless the first blow
were fatal the CHARGES were decidedly
in favor of the party assailed. [ &C
cordingly allowed the Mexican To-
strike the first blow. He plunged his
knife into nv side As SOON as |
found his arm thus stretched forward.
] cut the muscle of his right arm near
the shoulder. Immediately bis knife
dropped. While he vas STOPPING to
pick up bis knife, | sent my blade into
his body from the back. Before l
could strike again he had picked up
his knife and cut the cords of nv arms
so as to render them both useless
Here we both stood for a few sec
onds. when discovered that his heart
mad been reached. His body soon fell
in the death struggle to tie ground
The chain was so short that he
brought me down with him. In a
few minutes he was dead / was 40

down by his side. We lay there for
FIVE days and nights. until hunger
drove me to make a last effort l

The Marriage offs Brooklyn Luna
tic to an Indian Half Greed.

Upon proceedings instituted by his
mother, Andrew S. Hail highly re-
spectacle young Brooklyn man, was
adjudged a lunatic in 1878 and CON-
mitted to the Flatbush lunatic asylum
His mother. Catherine Hall, and his
sister, Harriet s. Armstrong. were ap-
pointed committee of his person and
estate. His father died several years
before, leaving a handsome fortune TO
his family, in which Andrews share
was one-third according to his own
statement. Before his cOmmittal t.
the asylum young Hall, who was u
years old, had started a small bust
ness in Fulton street and married
young lady, by whom he has two child
rem. His wife died two years ago
About the same time Andrew says he
was discharged from the asylum cured
His friends deny this and say that he
was sent to the asylum from time to
time as became necessary on account
of bis mental condition. When not
in the asylum Andrew lived at his
mothers home. No. A Chaupcy
street. A short time ago Andrew be-
gan to disappear from home at inter
walls and stay away several days at q
time. 1t has been learned that at
these times he frequented a vile re-
sort on Bergen street, near east New
York, frequented by blacks. whites,
Indians, and Chinese and women of
the lowest kind, in this den Andrew
Hall met and married on June Is
last woman known as Mary j.
Wood, who looks like a negress, but
claims to be an Indian half-breed.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Mr.. Hunter, a cOlored minister
Since then the pair have lived to-
gether in Sumpter street. The woman
was originally married to a negro in
Amityville. Long Island. who is now
serving life sentence in the state
prison for murder committed three
years ago. She afterward married
negro waiter named Wood without
the formality OF having her first mar
riage annulled, but this second hus-
band desert ted er several months ago.
On learning of Andrews alliance,
his mother and sister, as his commit
tee, began a suit in the supreme
court 10 have itset aside on tie ground
that at. the time it was contracted he
was luDatic.
The case came up yesterday and
young Hall appeared in court in a
very indignant mood. He said that
the woman whom he married is
good woman, and that they are living
comfortably together. He married
her voluntarily. 1t was true that her
skin was dark, but many persons were
proud Of the fact that they had Indian
blood in their veins. He said that he
never was insane. and that if he was
he had been discharged from the
asylum cured. His opinion was that
the whole thing was an attempt TO get
control of bis share of his fathers es-
tate. The proceedings in lunacy cost
him over $4,000 and he supposed
that more of his share would 60 in the
present litigation. Still he would
never submit to be separated from the
woman whom he loved, and would
sooner lose $500, 600 than lose her.
He had refused to let her read the
summons and complaint lest her feel
ings should be rudely hurt, and he in
tended if possible to keep the whole
thing away from her knowledge
