killing Frank Young and wounding Of
Bill Kennedy, was found guilty of as
sault, and was fined 81 and costs. The
jury had the option of finding the de.
PENDANT guilty of assault, of assault with

manslaughter. Judge Hayes, i'll passing
sentence, said he woulo himself complete
the burlesque, as he did in naming the

the absence of his family, took a bath.
After the bath he sat down in a state of
nudity before a window, and in that con
Sition was seen by several ladies and
children. The Gazette says it also APP

last fall. Since the last exposure, the en-

In his early and prosperous years, one

and it was said that no could not scatter
his income as fast rs it accrued. He

small pistol with his right, and putting
the muzzle close to his antagonists breast

The Boston BicycIists

III Wilmot and Sewell the bicyclists, who
have created 30 much interest here have
gone westward. They are certainly
wonders in their line. They are both
Bostonians and their appearance as per-
formers on a bicycle is a matter of chance
largely. Wilmot has a large drug store
in Boston and 'Sewell was connected with
the Boston Herald, occupying a lucrative
position besides having some consider
able property. They have bicycle riding
for amusement as have hundreds OF
others and as they increased in skill they
begand to attract some local attention.
They practiced together until their pro-
iciency in their double ac,obatic acts ON
the bicycle excited much wonder, and de-
mands became pressing for them to give
exhibitions. For some time they refus-
ed, but a year ago they were tempted to
do so by lattering promises, and since
they have appeared at a number of
places in the east. They recently decid-
ed to take a trip west, more for sight,
seeing than anything else. They appear
ed at Milwaukee and were intending not
to stop between there and Denver, as it
was only a chance that they did SO. Man
ager Chapman of the rink here went
down to the incoming train to see Biz
die Bliss the wonderful boy skater, whose
father is the we'll known conductor.
Wiimot and Sewell were on the train,
and Mr.. Chapman at once made them an
offer to stop over here for two nights. II
vas a good stroke of enterprise on Mr..
Chapman's part, and they proved one OF
the greatest attractions ever offered al
the rink. The Omaha rink then cap,
tured them for an exhibition there. I'm
like many of such performers they ar,
not mere professional athletes, but they
are young men who have shown abilit.
in business as well as on the bicycle, anl
have social and com nercial standing.
On the Goth of last September, vii
mot, at Springfield, Mass, won tn
champion prize, the contest being opel
to the world. He has been riding eve
since bicycles were first brought out il
Boston. He at one time made 218 mile
inside of 20 hours.
Sewell has practiced in athletic exeI
cises for years, and is a member, and ha
been an officer, Of the Union Bicycle clu
OF Boston.

HER SHOP.
The Unfortunate Disease of Beautiful
Western Woman.


L%EADvILLE, COL, March 9.-Some time
O e young miner of wealth fell i'll with
a lady, Miss Maudie, and took her to a
party at Kokomo. She would not dance
but kept in retirement us a looker-on.
The party broke up, the young fellow the
happiest OF the whole lot. He thought
he had found a jewel of rare value, and
priced it accordingly. His dream was of
short duration, for a change came over
it's spirit the next day when an officer
arrived from Frisco who wanted the fair
maiden to accompany him to Frisco on
the charge of larceny. Investigation
showed that every rag she had on at the
party the night previous was stolen. The
dress she wore on that occasion was a
beautiful silk, and fitted her graceful
| form To perfection. 1t was the most ele.
CANT dress at the party, and Miss Maudie
was the envy of all the other ladies. That
dress was no made for her, neither had
| she bought it, and this was true of every
article of clothing she wore from the sole
| of her foot to the top of her head.
This discovery prompted the officer u
search her trunk, and in it was fount
every imaginable article that could be pu'
into a trunk, from a baby's rattle to a Sc
Of false teeth. 1t seems that the Office
who had come after her was authorized
to let her go on the return of the stolei
articles, which, together with the fact tina
he had a reluctance to throw a brigh
looking young girl into Jail, secured he
freedom, and she at once sought othe
fields for the purpose of displaying he
wonderful genius. 1t is believed by man.
that the girl cannot help stealing, that i
is q part of her nature, and that she j
one of that unfortunate class of peopl
knowa as kleptomaniacs.

a substitute for the Organ.

New York Tribune, March 9,
A considerable number of persons as
sembled in Chickering hall yesterday
afternoon when MI. Baillie Hamilton, a
young Englishman, exhibited his new
musical instrument, the "~vGcahon. This
instrument is designed to fill the place OF
the large pipe organ in any church where
economy If space and money must be
considered. The instrument played upon
yesterday occupied a very small space,
having not more than 10 by l6 feet front
age, and had 1G stops, including couplers.
Nevertheless, Messrs. Henry Carter and
George w. Morgan, ~organists, produced
from it effects of tone, volume, and
variety Of timbre quite equal to those Of
an organ three times as large. The in
strument is played with a keyboard
and blown with 0 bellows, and, ex
cept for it's size, presents the same ap
pearance as an organ. 1t has, however
no pipes.
The sounds are produced by a series o
metal vocal chords, each OF which vib
rates in a short tube corresponding il
ratio to the size of the human laryn:
when producing like notes. Those tone
which are above or below the compass @
the human voice are produced by mathe
NAUTICAL calculation as to the position tn
larynx would be in if it were capable G
producing these sounds. Technically
Mr.. Hamilton's invention is a new appl
cation of the principle of the free reed
The tones of the instrument were exceed
ingly tender in quality, yet sonorous an
nnwarfuI i'm vnluma whan used with Tn
swell. They blended most eiiectivel
with the voices of Miss Emily Winar
and Signor Emil Coletti, who sang sewers
selections of sacred music. The comb
nation of smallness in size and compari
tive inexpensiyeness of cost with poweI
/ range, and variety in this instrument
considered, and with apparent good rel
son, sure to make it useful for sma
| churches of moderate means. IL is alread

me New York stalwarts.

The fact has been disclosed that when Mir. Blaine WAS first nominat- ed he wrote letter to Secretary Fol ger in which he begged his support, ] hoping through Folger's good offices to secure the boom of the New York Stalw warts ln his present contest. An extract from Mir. Folger's reply was printed several weeks ago by Mir. George Bliss, and this extract is pro nounced garbled one by Mir. But Her, who was FoIgers appointment clerk in the Treasury Department, and was his co1fidant in most party matters.
 MT. Butler says Folger believed 1 he had been sacrificed in the contest 1 for tue Governorship of New York against Cleveland by Blame and his l friends, because Blaine was afraid that II elected, he, Folger, would con troll the New York delegates to Chicago in Arthur's interests in 1884, or hold them for himself He was, therefore somewhat surprised at getting this begging letter from Blaine, in which the latter declared that he had never knowingly injur ed him. The gist of MT. Folger's reply is in the following paragraph, which Bliss cunpingly suppressed "I propose to be frank with you Friends in New York write me that they desire to revenge themselves on you. They express the opinion that neither you nor your followers desired or worked for the success o the State ticket in New York ir 1882. As an evidence of thls asser ton they refer to your letter to liar ington of October, 1882. They as sert that if Grover Cleveland was good enough for Governor over Fol ger Tn 1882 that Grover Cleveland is good enough for President over Blaine in 1884"
 Blaine could not explain away the
 Harrington letter, and therefore the attitude of cold indifference on the part of Folger, Arthur, ConkliDg and the other Stalwart leaders did no, change toward him. Mr. Butler has himself, come out for Cleveland, be- lieving as lie does, and as do many others, that the sacrifice of his friend and chief hastened his death by many years.
 MT. Blaine has nothing to hope for from the New York Stalwarts. They are not merely indifferent they desire his defeat; and their votes will be silently cast for Cleve- land who will carry the State by 50,- 900 majority.

OBITUARY.

Sister Juell Garden. nee William. son was born Jnne 2l, 1861. Wac united in marriage to w. H. Garden Dec. 27. 1882, and died in Russell vile. Oct. 26, 1884. Sister Garden was religiously disposed from her childhood and proiessed religion and united with the c. P. church at the early age of l2 years, of which she lived consistent and honcred mem. Der till the day of her death.
 She was very apt and learned ran. idly. She learned the alphabet when but little child sitting upon her mothers knee as she read to her of Jesus out of the Bible. Noble moth. CT! Is it any wonder that she raised good child? What an appropriate place for child to learn it's letters Sister Garden was . dutiful child a loving wife, good neighbor, a consistent christian.
 She was the mother of one child little Lizzie, sweet babe of eight months who preceded her mother to the glory land only 1 month and l3 days.
 It seemed that God in his wise providence, sent the angels and took 1 little Lizzie to the other shore only to make it more attractive for the mother who was to follow so soon. And she told her sorrowing husband that if 1t was not for leav ing hlm alone she would prefer going now.
 Her disease was typhoid fever from which she suffered much, and long, being confined to her bed near 1 ly nine weeks. But during all that time she bore it with christian forti tude. i visited her often during her sickness and the two last visits made we had prayers with her. The evening before her death 1 was there and she called her mother to her bedside and told her the Lord had called for her and with kiss bid her good by-also her sister and husband. It is well with her. Weep not dear sorrowing ones. You will meet your Juell in a bright. CT and better world than this. We laid her body to rest last Sunday evening, to await the resurrection of the just.
 The day that witnessed her inter- ment was gloomy one, but bright will be the morn that will witness her resurrection.
 "Sister thou most mild and lovely, Gentle as summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening, As it floats among the trees. Dearest sister thou hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel,
 But 'tis God that hast bereft us,
 He can all our sorrows heal.
 Yet again we hope to meet her,
 When the day of life is fled,
 Then ill heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tears are she'd"

NOW FOk NEW YORK.
The Great Presidential Struggle Transferred to Clcycland's
 Home Srafe

The Presidential battle is now re- manded back to New York, and Cleveland starts on the home stretch vastly in tue lead and with odds largiy in his favor With Ohio say. ed by only the most violent party eff forts, Indiana is not doubtful State. Her vote will be given to Cleveland; :; and Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon sin will tremble in the balance New York may be counted as safe for Cleveland; New York and Connecti- cut will be desperately disputed, with Blaine on the outside track, and New Hamshire and even Massachusetts will demand desperate Republican effort to hold them to Blaine.
 The vote of New York will now decide the great Presidential battle of 1884 as it settled the desperate struggle of 1880; and it is evident that the present current O. senti ment in that State must be material ly changed to give Blaine reason able hope of defeating Cleveland. It is possible that local complica tions may give New York to Blaine as it was possible for like complica- tions to give Ohio to the Democrats and West Virginia to the Republi- cans; but the October States prove that national issues are paramount to local complications, and New York is not likely to be an exception. The present outlook promises ma jority of from 30,000 to 50,000 for Cleveland in New York, and the as pect of the contest must be essential ly changed, if Grover Cleveland shall not be elected president in Novem Der. r.--Philadelphia Times.

Murder.
[ the Democrat.

Correspondence or the Democrat-
 One and one half miles from Gray ely Hill, Yell county, Ark, Friday the 17th inst, Esq. A. J. Yates was foully murdered by Grant Parent, a young man about p or 23 years old.
 PARTICULARS.
 At the time of the murder, Parent was working for Esq. Yates, and ev- cry thing seemed to be going on smoothly between them, so far as known, and on the evening previous to the killing, Esq. Yates and wife went to their sons, Alex Yates, to spend ths night, he having gone to Dardanelle on business. Esq. Yates went back home and young Parent went with him back to his sons to spend the night and after supper all parties conversed pleasantly for a while and retired. During the night, Parent, who was sleeping up stairs, came down as is supposed to com init the crime but finding the old man awake went to the clock and af- ter telling them that it was two o'clock, went up stairs and spent the remainder of the night in a very restless state till about day light, when he agaln came down and ask bow they all were. Esq. Yates an swered that one of his grand chil- dren had had chill and was right sick and that he was not well, him self, and asked Parent to bring in some wood and make a fire. Parent opened the door and stepped out and during the time Esq. Yates got up and was in the act of tying his shoes when parent stepped inside and closed the door and walked to with in two feet of the old man and with the remark "I will give you the contents of this" or something to that effect, commenced firing, hit ing the old man four times, two of which would have caused instant death. The entire township was i'm mediately aroused, and in pursuit which up to the present has been un- successful although the murderer is still in the state and large armed posse are after him. Esq. Yates was one of our best citizens, one who stood high In this neighbor- hood as a man and as q member Of the Masonic Fraternity. So far as known there seems to have been no cause for the act whatever as the two families had known each other for years and had moved to this State at the same tune. Esq. Yates leaves wife and several children and grandchildren to mourn his un- timely death.

IN urging a choice for United States Senator we are only doing what we conceive to be our duty as a public journalist and citizen of the state who wants to see the state hon ored and advanced in the selection of person to discharge the duties of this high station. Put upon other grounds than the highest possible public good, and we would scarcely care to waste time as between the excellent gentlemen mentioned. But looking at it Tn the way of serving our highest good, we choose the man of greatest ability, linked with every other possible qualification. Judge Mans6eld's labors upon the Digest have cut him off from any sort Of g canvass tor the position, and he wouldn't have made It if he hadn't been.
