NEWS FROM THE SUBURBS.

TIE TROUBLE CAUSED BY DEAD SWINE.
Killjordon is hamlet about three quarters Of
mile south of Flushing and IS mostly inhabited by
cOlored people, who keep swill-fed hogs. Mr.. Mar
shall, a native of the Green Isle, Is. however one
of the largest hog breeders. He amassed a com
Portable fortune aud has been looked upon by hls
cOlored ncighbors as very lucky man. Things
moved along quietly in kIljOrdan until about two
weeks ago, when several of Mr. Marshalls hogs
suddenly became sick and displayed as he thought
symptoms of poisoning. When six or seven had
died he was sure that they had been poisoned, and
accused his Killjordan neIghbOrs of killing
his prosperity. He openly declared in
a public house that his pigs were poisoned with
Paris green, broken glass, and other ingredients
necessary to destroy n hogs life, and he was re-
solved to make Klljordan pay for them.
The colOred residents of KilljOrdan, when they
heard the charges made against their town, grew
indignant and determined to investigate the mat
ter. They appointed committee TO hold a post
mortem examination on the dead swine and ascer-
tain the cause of their death. The committee re-
ported that, after carefully examining the hogs
they had come to the conclusion that they had
died "a natural death from measles, and
severely criticised the action of Mr. Marshall in
ties. The report added that if Mr.. Marshall at
tended properly to his hogs when they first got the
measles, they would not have died. When Mr.
Marshall heard of the cation of the committee he
became white with rage, and started for Flushing
10 get Il warrant for their arrest. Justice Smith
refused to grant a warrant, and soon after Mr..
Marshall had gone the committee arrived and
wanted a warrant for the arrest of Marshall for
bringing the name of KlliOrdan into bad repute.
The Justice refused to grant this request saying
that il was impossible for any one to dcfame Kill
Jordan.
