THE MOUNTAIN PLAGUE.

WILLIAMSBURG, KY, Nov. 27.-The
mysterious plague has obtained a foot
hold in the southern portion of Letcher
and Perry Counties, the whole of Les
lie County, and the northeast portion
of Bell County. Reports as to it's vio-
lence are conflicting, but the deaths run
up into the hundreds, while the num-
Der of those attacked cannot be esti-
mated. The session of the circuit court
at Mt. Pleasant was complete failure,
as far as the trial of commonwealth
cases is concerned, scarcely a
case being called but it had
to be continued because of the illness or
death of either the defendant or of some
witness. No one seems to know the
exact nature of the pestilence. Most
people call it fux, and it is probably a
very aggravated form of that disease. It
begins with gripping pains in the stom-
ach, followed by facilitating diarrhea
and swelling of the throat, and, if not
fatal in three or four days, the patient
as rule RECEIVERS. ALI reports agree
as to the cause of the epidemic, it being
attributed to the use of impure water
by the natives The season has been
unusually, dry, the streams, as rule,
consisting only of narrow threads
of murky, foul-smelling and
foul-tasting water, with an oc-
casional pool of some poisonous
stuff. The corn crop in all the afflicted
counties is good, and starvation and
want only exist because the people can
spare no time from the sick to gather it,
No mills are running on the Smaller
streams. In no portion of the territory
mentioned is either the corn or hay
crop less than usual. The rains which
recently visited the lower and central
portion of the state do not seem to have
extended into the afflicted region, and
10 pure water is obtainable. Truly the
situation is appalling, and no relief is
at hand.

SAD RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.

NATION, Ill.,, Nov. 25.-A runaway
accident that will probably result in the
death of two persons occurred few
miles south of this city. A party OF
young people were returning from q
concert, in two vehicles, when the rear
team became frightened, and started to
run. The driver fell out of the wagon,
carrying the lines with him. The
horses dashed away at high speed
overtaking another vehicle, the horses
of which also commenced running. One
by one the persons in the wagons jumped
or were thrown from them, until five
lay scattered along the road. The injured
were picked up, and carried to the
house of farmer near by, and medical
assistance summoned. Those seriously
injured are: David Hart, confusion OF
head and arm broken; Miss May Dorm
blaze, daughter of a prominent stock
dealer, knocked senseless-afterward
found wandering in the woods, still out
of her head; Miss Mollie Hart, spine
injured and confusion of breast-very
serious; Thomas Hendricks, skull
cracked and received serious injury in
breast probably fatally hurt; George
Abel, nose broken and head terribly
lacerated.

THE BRISCOE LYNCHIRG.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 28.-A messen-
ger to Sheriff Fowler arrived here this
morning giving the verdict of the
coroner's jury on the lynching OF
George Briscoe (colored). The coron-
ers who acted were Thomas Boone and
Thomas s. Jacobs. The jury rendered
verdict that death was caused by
strangulation at the hands of parties un-
known. The place Of lynching was the
public road about fifteen miles from
Annapolis, the time between and s
o'clock. When Briscoe was seized he
was in charge of Deputy Sheriff Ora
ton, Boone and Tip Wells, who
had been summoned to help the deputy.
A double-barrel gun was put
in Boone's face and Tip Wells was
pulled from the buggy and severely
hurt. The lynchers numbered eight
cen, and were masked. A lady in the
Third District, who was enceinte and
was fred at by Briscoe during one of
his robberies, is a lunatic now from the
assault. Briscoe was convict from the
penitentiary, where he had been sent
for house-breaking. When he in was jail
here during the spring, burglaries in
the neighborhood ceased, when he re-
turned they began again. Public SEN
timent generally approves the lynch
ing. Briscoe had been warned several
times to leave the neighborhood.

4" BLEEDING KANSAS"

LAWRENCE, Kas, Nov. 29.-Fe titions
have been circulated in fourteen coun-
ties interested asking the state legisla-
ture at it's coming session to make an
appropriation of $5,OOO,OOO as reim-
bursement for property lost by private
citizens in border warfare raids between
the years 1854 and 1860. The petitions
have been signed by thousands of the
best citizens of these counties, and a
well attended convention of representa-
tives of these counties was held here to-
day to complete arrangements to that
end. The plan is for the state to issue
bonds for this amount, to be finally
taken up by the general government.
The matter has some of the best men of
the state pushing it, and will undoubt-
edly receive fair recognition.

A SENSIBLE MOVE.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Nov. pa petit
ton, signed by nearly every wholesale
house in the city, asking for the pur
chase of additional fire apparatus, was
presented to the board of fire commits
siorers at their meeting the other even
ing. The petition set forth that the
uneven surface of St. Paul made it nee
essary to have more fire apparatus for
proper protection than would be nee
essary if the surface were even, not
withstanding which fact the city has
less apparatus than is usual in cities of
it's size, and which are more favorably
situated as to surface and terri
tory. It therefore recommended that
four extra frst-class steamers, capable
of throwing effective streams on the top
of the highest buildings, be purchased
for use in the wholesale district, there
by relieving the smaller engines for use
in the outside portions of the city,
where they would be capable of deing
good service. The purchase of an ad-
ditional hook-and-ladder apparatus and
at least three more chemical engines
was recommended. At the meeting of
the Board of Fire Commissioners
Chief Black was authorized to detail q
captain from some company to act as q
second assistant chief engineer, draw
ing only the salary of captain.
