TERRIBLE BATTLE
Between the British and the Arat

Between the British ana the ARABS
The rebels opened fire on Gen. Graham's
forces recently at night, making the bivouac
exceedingly unpleasant The Arabs kept up
persistent fusilade till just before daybreak At
sunrise Gardiner gun and 9.pounder were
turned against the rebels, who were within
1900 yards of the British position, and afforded
most excellent target The Arabs were soon
compelled to retire to their main positions near
the Tamai wells. The advance was again re-
sumed, when immense hordes rushed upon the
British from both sides. A terrible struggle
ensued. The Arabs fought with the greatest
pluck and bravado, but nearly all were killed.
The second brigade met with obstinate resis-
tance and was at one time repulsed. The
Gatling and Gardiner guns fell into the hands
of the rebels, and were only recovered after
severe fight The rebels, under cover Of the
smoke, crept close up to the British lines and
dashed against the marines and the Goth and
Black Watch regiments, throwing themselves
upon the bayonets of the British, and giving
and receiving fe rful wounds. Great confusion
ensued, The Goth began to retreat, crowding
upon the marines, when all became inextrica-
bly, mixed. Gen. Graham and his staff did
their utmost to rally the men, retreat
ing 800 yards to enable them to reform. AS
sistance from the other brigade prevented
serious disaster. The pluck shown by the
rebels was unexampled Numbers of rebels still
hover around the camp and fire when cattle
are being watered The native guides bolted
when the square was broken The rebel loss is
estimated at 1000 killed and 60O0 wounded.

A GHOST
Frightening Many People.

Blissville, Laurel Hill and neighboring ham
cts on Long Island, N Y. are excited over q
peculiar and mearthly sound, heard only at
night, in the vicinity of Calvary cemetery. One
man was startled by a strange voice, crying
"Oh! OH" 1t seemed to come from an unoc-
cupied building, which has long been regarded
as haunted. Thinking some fem lie was in dis
tress, Mr. Flaherty searched the house from
cellar to garnet. He found nothing The
voice was again heard in vacant lot near by.
Some young men got together on a recent
night to the number of 100 and started out
again to hunt the E''ghost." They divided into
hree parties, and every one heard the thrilling
cry, ooh, OH" and tried to run it down.
The three parties came together about mid
night in the centre of the cemetery without
having solved the mystery.

WANTED FRUIT.
The Curious Way I'm which a Miner,
suddenly Grown Rich, was Affected.

The Curious Way I'm which Miner,
suddenly Grown Rich, was Affected.
The sensations of suddenly becoming
rich, although we have never expert
enced them, act upon different temper
aments in strangely various ways.
During a conversation in regard to
sudden wealth, a man who has had
much experience in mining camps,
said to an Arkansaw ITdceier writer:
ain 1876, while in Rosita, Colorado,
l had ample opportunities for studying
the capricious freaks of men who be-
came suddenly wealthy. One man who
struck it rich, yielded to a passion
which he had for pointer dogs, and
bought every slim looking dog in the
neighborhood. Another man wanted
horses, another clothes, and another
stage coaches, although he had no
actual use for them. The most enthu-
siastic man, however, was fellow
named Edwin Bassic. He came to
ROsita poor but determined. He
pitched the tents of his fortunes on a
spot that no other man would have,
and began work with will and fixed
ness of purpose that created laughter.
He was very poor and it was all that
he could do to provide bread for his
wife and children. Many a time he
went home hungry, but still with
miners undaunted courage and mans
strong arm, he worked on. One day he
struck rich lead Intense excitement
prevailed in the town, and from Wis
ionary laborer, he became the man of
the hour. Still he had realized no
money, and his household condition was
anything but prosperous, but change
awaited him. The second day after
his strike, he sold an interest in his
mine for large sum of money. With
a flush of triumph, signalling that his
hopes had been realized, he gathered
up his suddenly acquired fortune and
rushed to the nearest store. There he
bought all the canned fruit. He did
not stop at this, but he went on from
one store to another buying canned
fruit. He was not satisfied until he
had bought all the canned fruit in town,
and even then he seemed to lament be-
cause there were no more canned fruit
worlds to conquer. Delivery wagons
were constantly driving up to his house,
and cans, in showers Of glittering tin,
were flying from his back windows.
Every child had a can in his hand, and
the fruit famine, thus caused in the
town, created great excitement.
Wagons were dispatched to the nearest
railway station, and kilograms, ordering
canned fruit, were sent to distant
cities. 1t seemed that there was de-
mand for nothing but canned fruit, and
even the drug-stores ordered this high
ly necessary article of diet. When the
excitement subsidized, the rich miners
house was stocked with canned goods.
The juice of the strawberry and the
pulp of the peaches stained the door
facing. Naturally, they got enough
after awhile, but cans were so thick in
the neighbOrhood that citizens COM
mittee ordered them to be carried
away. Bassic now lives in Bridge
port, Conn.,, and the last l heard of him,
he had settled down into a permanent
enjoyment Of good clothes and canned
fruit"

SOUTHERN HORROR.

Human Beings Blown Into Enternity.
terrible gas explosion occurred in the
Laurel Creek coal mine, operated by the South
west improvement company, at Pocahontas,
Va. One hundred and ffty-fve men were at
work there at the time, and such was the force
of the explosion that every one was killed, and
the tanning machine, engine and cars were
blown 300 feet from the entrance. The tanning
machine was insufficient for the mines, and,
before its deficiency was discovered, and
remedied by those in the mines, the gas ac-
cumulated to the explosive point. The little
hamlet, whose population numbers about 500,
was resting quietly when the explosion took
place. The scene which followed beggars de-
scription. The few living beings who saw q
puff of smoke shoot from the mine, and the
sudden upheaval OF the engines and cars, rushed
into the town with loud cries for help. EX-
perienced miners upon reaching the scene were
satisfied that no man in the mine was living.
The horror of the situation was intensified by
the discovery that the mine was on fire. Actual
number of killed is settled at l49. There were
so negroes and 40 Hungarians, the balance
being Germans and natives. The company
working the mines is nominally known as the
Southwest Virginia improvement company, but
the mine is really under the control of the Nor
folk g. Western railroad company, which has n
branch road, known as the New River division

CATTLE DISEASE
Prevalent In Kansas.

The United States veterinary surgeon at
Fort Leavenworth, DIR. Holcomb, detailed to
investigate the cattle disease, reports the foot
and mouth disease in a severe form, and not
the dreaded anthrax OF black leg, as at first
supposed, which is more fatal, killing 80 per
cent. He did not expect to find the foot and
mouth disease, but was prepared to find anthrax.
Cattle have been known to take the disease
several months after others have recovered,
but by mixing the herds it has appeared again
in as virulent a form as before. A microscop-
zeal examination of the milk shows traces of
the poison fully three months after the animal
has recovered. Ifany of the cattle now affect
ed should recover, it would be a dangerous
thing to turn them on the range in the summer.

Hotel Items.

Some ten years ago while at the Reed
House, Erie Pa, l was taken sick with the
spotted fever and was very low; my back and
spine seemed to be affected, with terrible
pains in kidneys and back. For fourteen
days laid, and could hardly stir, and suffered
the most intense agony imaginable. My feet
and limbs were bloated; my water was very
unnatural, Deep red color and brick-dust
deposit, and was fast losing strength and
vitality. The doctors treated me, but with
no benefit, and 1 used many different medi-
cines that had been recommended. None
of them did me any good until used Hunts
Remedy, as my attention was called to the
case of Hon. Joshua 1uthill, of East Sag
inaw, Mich, similar case to mine, he being
cured of a severe case of Brights disease. l
purchls ed a bottle, and used it according to
directions. began to gain in strength; my
water became more natural; the terrible
pains in the back aud loins were removed;
the swelling of my limbs went down. con-
tinued the use of the medicine until had
used in all five (5) bottles, and it has built
me up and completely cured me, and am
as sound and healthy as any man of forty
eight years of age, and can attend 10 my
business every day. l have recommended
Hunts Remedy to many of my friends here
in Buffalo, and it has proved, as in my case,
a SUCCESS with them all. Gratefully yours,

LAW INDICATED
In the State of south Carolina


The Governor of South Carolina determined
to effect the captureof W. b. Cash, the muir
derer of the town marshal of Cheraw, the re-
ward of $500 offered having failed to accom-
plish that end. The result of a conference
was the decision that Cash. if he was within
the borders Of the state, should be captured
at once, dead or alive. In accordance with
this determination, Chief State Constable Rich
bourg selected posse of II resolute young men,
all Of whom are members of the several mill
tary companies and the posse arrived at Cashs
place early in the morning, and at once sur
rounded the house. Col. E. B. Cash, father
of the fugitive, was taken into custody. Mean
while Bagan Cash, who had been sleeping in an
clubhouse on the premises, effected his escape
to the surrounding swamps, which are now be.
ing searched for the fugitive. W. B. Cash. on
discovering the picket at daylight, armed him.
self and attempted to escape, but encountered
one Of the posse, who brought his rifle to beau
on him and compelled him to drop his
weapons.
