Blake attributes great deal o. his
misfortune and much of the public
prejudice that exists against him to

Wilmington papers. Hs claims that
the charge made by the papers that his
wife helped him to escape or even knew
of it., is false.

never woald make ATTY effort to effect

A COWBOY IN A STAMPEDE.
How he STAYED Torrent or Cattle ON the
Very Brink OF Bluff.

fChicago Herald
"One of the slickest things | saw in me
travels" said passenger from the West,
g was cowboy stopping cattle stampede.
A herd of about six or eight hundred had
got frightened at something and broke
away pell-mell, with their tails IN the air
and the bulls at the head OF the procession.
But Mr.. Cowboy didn't get excited at all
when he saw the herd was going straight
for high bluff, where they would certain
ly tumble down into the canyon and be
killed. You know that when herd like
that gets TO going they can't stop, no
matter whether they rush 10 death or not.
Those in the rear crowd those ahead, and
away they go. wouldn't have given
dollar head for that herd. but the cow
boy spurred up his mustang. made little
detour, came in right in front OF the herd,
cut across their path at a right angle, and
then galloped leisurely on to the edge OF
that bluff, halted aud looked around at that
wild mass OF beef coming right toward
him. He was as cool as a cucumber,
though / expected to see him killed and
was so excited / could not speak. Well,
sir, when the leaders had got within about
a quarter OF mile OF him | saw them try
TO slack up, though they could not do it
very quick. But the whole herd seemed
to want TO stop, and when the cows and
steers in the rear got about where the cow
boy had cut across their path | was sur
prised to see them stop and commence to
nibble at the grass. Then the whole herd
stopped, wheeled, struggled back, and
went TO fighting for chance TO eat where
the rear guard was.
You see. that cowboy mad opened a
big bag OF salt he had brought out from
the ranch to give the cattle, galloped
across the herds course and emptied the
bag. Every crilter shifted that line Of salt,
and Of course that broke up the stampede.
But tell you it was queer sight to see
that cuss out there on the edge Of that
bluff quietly rolling a cigarette. when it
seemed as il he'd be lying under two hun
lred tons OF beef In about minute and a
half -

The Chicago Times says: During the
year 1883 more than fifteen hundred MUIR
ders were committed in this country; but
IN the same year the whole number of muI-
derers legally eXterminated was only
ninety.three." And Of the number OF
murdcrers legally eXterminated the greater
proportion were eXterminated in the
south, although the proportion OF MUIR
derers to population was greater in the
North than in the South. Our bloody

note of this.

editor Of the Paris Intrdnsigednt, who
came to lecture on the labor question, us

Considerable alarm has been occasioned
In this vicinity by reports OF the existence
OF smallpox among Hungarian immigrants
coming here direct from Castle Garden.
Several OF them were recently taken from
the train sick, and are now IN the Lehigb
county almshouse suffering from smallpox.
Four little girls, whose ages ranged from
three to eight years, were landed at Castle
Garden on Thursday from the steamer
France, having crossed the ocean unat-

except some kind-hearted women in the
steerage. Their mother died year ago,
and they were sent TO their father, who
lives in Brooklyn.

AFTER TIE RIOTS.
The First Sentencing OF Prisoners In Cincin.
natl After the Disturbances.

! A Cincinnati telegram OF Friday SAYS
The first sentencing OF prisoners since the
riot took place to-day In Judge Johnston's
court. Belle Osborn (colored). convicted
OF shooting with intent to xiii, received
seven years. She begged most piteously
when the sentence was pronounced. and
the judge began to say, a.. As this Il a
woman, j will modify the SENTENCE
when the prosecutor interposed yigor-
Gus protest, saying, "This woman has been
before the criminal courts again and again,
and something must be done to relieve the
courts, II for no other purpose" The
Judge permitted the sentence to remain.
The only other case where the crime was
homicide was that OF John Murtagh, who
pleaded guilty OF manslaughter. II APP
peared that he struck man with his fist.
and the plea was accepted and sentence
OF five years was given.
Governor Hoadly, in his letter OF thanks
to Sheriff Hawkins, expressed approval OF
his course OF conduct, but made the re-
mark that 1t was perhaps not proper to ex-
press an opinion In advance OF the investi-
CATION which must be made. No provi-
sion, however, has yet been made for an
investigation into the methods employed in
defending the courthouse and Jail. but an
open letter to Judge Matthews, who tried
Berner, Is published to-day, in which #.
c. Campbell, the leading lawyer for Ber-
ner's defence, asks for an investigation by
Judge Matthews. aided by Judge Avery
and Judge Force.
Governor Hoadly has sent dispatch to
Colonel Hunt, commanding the First regi-
ment, to be read TO the command. The
military guard has been almost wholly
withdrawn from the courthouse and jail
surroundings. A high board wall encloses
the entire courthouse except the iron gates
in front, and half a dozen soldiers stand
guard there. The Seventeenth regiment,
it is supposed, will be kept here until after
the election next Monday. The First regi-
ment OF this city, talks OF disbanding. In
a number OF instances members have been
discharged because the wOrkmen threaten
ed to leave il the miitiamen were permit
ted TO come back to work. Persecution for
obedience TO orders tends to discourage the
men from longer holding connection with
a military company.
