PITrsBURG, Dec. 25.-F c. Breckenridge, n
nephew of Captain Mutt, and one OF the three
men who witnessed the murder OF Mutt by
Dukes, has lately been receiving anonymous
letters threatening his life. An abstract from
one letter is as follows

avengers live. There soupers in the
Dukes family. They never lie or beg. Tell Liz
zie Mutt to sell her piano. and let the paupers

the defense of young Mutt and it is believed
the letters were written for the purpose of
intimidating him in testifying.

The Alliance Bank Failure.

CLEVELAND. Dec. 25-The liabilities of
Lemborn & Gray, bankers, of Alliance. who
assigned, are variously estimated from $780,
to $3000O The embarrassment of the bank

road, by Dr. Lamborn, the senior member of
the firm also by advances made to pay the
employees Of the road, the draft for last
months payroll not having been honored
by the managers of the road in New York.

An Encounter with a Colorado Lion.

DENVER, COL, Dec 25.-A special from
Idaho Springs tells of thrilling adventure
two hunters had near that place yesterday
with a monster mountain lion. Robert Gil
son and Virgil Holmes went up Chicago
creek hunting for deer. They travelled nearly
81 day without finding any game, and finally
they came across two deer, and succeeded in
getting one and crippling the other. Leav-
ing the dead one, they started i'll pursuit of
the wounded one, and followed it several
miles, but being only slightly wounded it
managed to make its escape On returning
to the one they had left, they found huge
mountain lion at work deyouring it. At
first they hardly knew what to do, but being
armed with repeating rifles, they soon de-
cided to fight. AT the first shot the lion re-
treated, only few steps, however, and, with
q terrific roar, he turned on them. For an

The Children of the Russian Minister to
Washington.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec 25.-Shortly after 2
o'clock to-day eight children, in the compa-
ny OF three nurses, might have been seen
walking on the avenue There were six
girls, the Oldest eight years old and two
small boys-one French, the other Japanese.
They were from the Russian legation, and
the girls were the children of the Russian
minister. The latter had the round and
ruddy faces characteristic of the German
girls. Their hair was light yellow, either
waving or in curls. Each wore garment
made from brown plush. Their shoes re-
sembled the American arctic, and were
lined with fur. They appeared to be two or
three times too large. The two boys, l un-
derstand, are adopted, the japanese having
been taken by the Russian minister when he
was in Japan.
The girls are said to be especially bright.
The older ones are acquainted with the En-
glish, Russian, French and Japanese Ian
guages. But the Russian people become
acquainted with the languages very easily.
These little folks are in charge of a govern
ess during greater part of the day at the
legation. Every afternoon, when it is pleas
ant, they take walks, as they were doing
when seen to-day.

men, Rowell and Adams were rivals for the
affections of Ida Lewis, beautiful octoroon.
Day before yesterday Ida went to the cabin
of an aged negress to have her fortune told.
Rowell had previously bribed the old woman
to tell Ida she was destined to marry him,
and, if she refused to induce her to drink a
mixture, or love philter, which he had pre-
pared. This programme was carried out,
and when the girl objected to marrying Row
ell, she was coaxed to drink the preparation,
when she was seized with convulsons and
died in the most horrible agony. Rowell
has fled to the swamps. The negress re-
ceived trade dollar for her services.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The secretary of

There is still considerable merriment over
Secretary Chander's performance as director
of the afterpiece at the Matthew Arnold lec-
ture last week. Mr.. West, the British min
ister in talking about it to-day, said: II
wonder aw aw what he did it for? 1t was
in bad form, you know. 1t may have been
the effect Of after-dinner, ycu know; but it
was remarkable, wasn't it, to call for speeches
after the close of Mr.. Arnold's Lecturer Mr..
Chandler has finally explained why he put
on the afterpiece. Said he: "The lecture
was so internally stupid 1 wanted to do
something to wake up the audience"
DR.. Loring, the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, seems to be about the only person who
does not regard it as funny. The Doctor has
reputation for making interminable
speeches on every occasion. When Mr..
Chandler called upon Edward Everett Hale,
who was in the audience to make some COM
ments upon the lecture and he declined the
sprightly Secretary called out Dr. Loring,
with the remark that any one who knew the
Commissioner knew very well he would nev-
er make so short a speech. At that the
Doctor was furious He thought it insin-
uated that he must take the hint and not
talk longer than Arnold had done, so he
merely rose and shook hands with the lee
turer. He has been going about town ever
since giving Mr.. Chandler an unmerciful
scoring for the performance, which, it
seems, grossly offended his highly bred Bos
