Going from the Kanawha Valley Association,
West virginia, young lady riding Wild
young horse dropped her little carpet-sack and
dismounted to get II. She then led the horse
to the fence that she might resume her place

discovered Il hornets nest In the corner OF the
fence just 10y her, aud as she stood there try

on her hands seven stings from as many hor-

Ex-senator rebor's Pistol Goes OF

DtnVtT NNOIO1 ITIDUHt,
After the performance at the oper1.ho ouse
the other night ex senator Tabor and wife left
the building arm and arm. When opposite
the car stables on Curtis street, the ex-senator
concluded TO put on his Uvercoat. In the
inside pocket OF the coat the ex-senator had a
large double-action revolver, aud his wife, In

eX-SeDator's left arm. In so doing she pushed
tho pistol out OF his pocket and it fell on tho
pavement, and one chamber was discharged
with loud report. Fortunately tho bullet
sped aimlessly and no serious damage was
done. The afrair created great deal of OK.

the spot. Some one started the runor that
the ex-senator had been shot, and policemen

IT strikes us that the "Fenian plot to
use dynamite in the Vatican" which is be-
ing so literally advertised by the Journal
istic flunkies in use by the British Govern
ment, is cunning but shallow device of
England herself. Ifany threats have been
made against the Pope.s life they have
come from British sources in disguise aud
have been made with view to prejudice
1rishmen against Irishmen and injure the
National cause. In the present age of com.
mon sense such frauds are to people of or
dinary intelligence too gauze-like to pass
for facts.

A STRONG effort will be made this ses-
sion to get an appropriation for a city post
Office building for Washington. The lease
on the present building expires in Novem-
ber. The present rental is $1,000 per year,
with no provision for renewal, and the
owners can demand $4,000 at the expira-
tion they see fit. 1t is totally unfit for
the purpose of postoifice, and about $i0,-
600 has already been spent by the Govern
ment in repairs, besides the $4,000 paid in
rent, enough to erect quite a respectable
building. Mr.. Conger will make a compre-
hensive report to the Postmaster General
and urge the necessity of new building at
once.

APRIL STORMS

The most unprecedented storm in the
history of the country, has ragged
through the north and northwest and
eastern portions of the country, COM
mencing OH the 18th and lasting four
days. y general rain began on the
morning of the 18th, and by Sunday or
Nc lay morning it was turned into
snow by the falling mercury. West of
Dodge City, on the line of the A, T. &
,. +. X. r., as we'll as on the X. p. and
L. p. X. r., all trains were abandoned
as early as Saturday night or Sunday
morning; while at Kansas City and the
country east and south. it did not CON-
mence showing until Monday morning.
Ihe snow was from six to eight inches
deep at Chicago Monday. while at Pueb-
10, Colorado and Denver, IT was report
ed nine inches: and further north il
was reported TO be ten To fifteen inches
deep. Much suffering and considerable
loss to cattle is reported from western
Colorado.
Ihe eastern portion Of this state was
Hooded, yet the snow, while it came
down with vengeance, did not lay on
the ground to any considerable depth.
Farming is at stand still, and some
time must elapse before farmers can
again get in their fields to complete the
spring work.
This section of the country has been
fortunate, as cold rain followed by
snow would have caused great loss in
stock. As it is, we have very encourage
ing reports from almost every section of
the grazing country, and ranchmen
with whom we have talked are feeling
first class over the result of the past
winter, rs well as the favorable weather
of the spring compared with other sec
tiOns of the country

Frank James, the Missouri outlaw, is
on trial at Huntsville, Alabama, for the
Mussel Shoals robbery. A dispatch dat
ed the 2lst inst, giving the testimony
Of the defense, says
In the Frank James case to-day Bal
ley Brown, magistrate, at whose Office
Fields testified that he had been with
James the day a certain suit was decid-
ed, testified that the suit was decided
March 18th. lie produced a paper con-
tainlng the judgment of the court bear
ing that date. Brown also stated that
two cases of attachment were heard in
his court against Howard, afterward
known as Jesse James, in one OF which
Frank James, as Woodson, was code
PENDANT.
William Spann testified that he met
Frank James in Nashville March 18th,
the date Of the robbery, and March 18th.
He knew this because one Harvey offer
ed on the 18th TO sell him Poland Chi
ma hog, which he said he bought from
WoOdson.
James Spann met Woodson that az
ternOon and asked him if the hogs were
pure blood, and Woodson saying they
were, bought one the next day, giving
his note in payment. lie produced the
note in court which bore date of March
18th. lie also testified he knew Frank
James as WOodson, was intimately ac-
quainted with him; lived quarter of a
mile from him. Often visited the house
of James, seeing him also on the sue
cessive dates named.
Martin Brewer, colored, testified to
meeting James with Smith the Sth,
while Smith was serving a process.
The impression is that James has
completely established an alibi. In Lid
dis case for the same offense, however,
it ID held the defendant could be con-
victed Of conspiracy if proved to be a
member of the gang participating in the
robberies for conniving at the conceal
ment of his associates, although it is
not proved that he participated in or
specially conspired to commit the par
ticular robbery charged.
james counsel stated to-day that the
defendant would himself testify. The
evidence will he concluded tomorrow.

A fearful rain fell at Atchison on last
Friday, of which press dispatch says
Old inhabitants say such a storm was
never before known i'm Kansas. 1t be-
gan TO fall at 1880, and for nearly an
hour it came down in flood, and was
accompanied by fierce thunder and
lightning. The streets of the city were
running streams from curb to curb. In
fifteen minutes the roar of the storm as
it descended upon the earth resembled
a mill dam, and to add TO the confusion
several houses were struck by lightning
and set on fire. The creeks were beyond
their banks in very few minutes
White Clay creek, which flows through
the center of the city, was an angry tor
rent forty feet deep and spreading in
some localities three hundred yards
wide. The stream was never known to
rise 10 such heighth before. Dwelling
houses which have for years stood high
and dry, many feet above the greatest
flood, were surrounded by the water,
and in many cases caught in the current
and carried down the stream. The flood
for short time rose two and three feet
in minute, and the occupants of
houses IN the low lying grounds had to
fee for safety, abandoning their house
hold goods to be swept away. Numer-
Gus highway bridges are gone, and
many more damaged. So far as report
ed the railroads do not suffer. The
merchants suffer heavy losses by flood
ed cellars and Easements, and manufac-
turers by material carried away. While
the rain was very heavy the great flood
m White Clay creek was no doubt caus-
ed by water spout, which evidently
broke west of the city.
The damage by lightning was unim-
portant. The Baptist church, the barn
of DR.. Lindley and dwelling house in
the northwest part of town and barn
in East Atchison were struck and the
latter burned down. Many narrow es-
capes are reported, but no loss of life.
At this writing the damage to property
cannot be estimated, but it will certain
ly be many thousands,
