There was a large hawk that made i
his business to come and take of one Oh
my small chickens each day, and, on
hearing my chickens give the we'll known
alarm "a few days ago. ran out only to
see the hawk flying up with chick in
his claws, closely pursued by my game
rooster, which when the hawk had lit,
fell upon Linn, tearing out and making
the feathers fly at such rate ! could see
neither hawk nor chicken, when mo-

were heard he was growing over the body

The Wabash Receivers.

ST. LOUIS, May pa meeting was held this
morning at the Wabash railroad Office, which
was attended by Thomas E. Tut, of st. Louis,
and Scion Humphreys, the receivers; General
Wager Swayne and Wells H. Biodgett, of the
law department, and Vice-president Hoxie, at
which a formal transfer of the Wabash road
was made to the receivers. The Office of general
agent and secretary of the receivers was ere
ated, and James F. How, the present secretary,
appointed to the position, while D. S. Il. Smith,
the present treasurer, was made receivers
treasurer for the present. 1t was determined to
retain all officers and officials of the road, but
the receivers announced their intention to ex-
ercise rigid economy. They will cut off, as soon
as practicable, all non-interest earning lines,
and stop off all unnecessary expenses in
the way of salaries, labor, etc.
The total bonded debt of the Wabash is about
$50, 900, 900. 1t is impossible. at present, to state
what divisions will be left out of the new organ
~ization, with the exception of the Cairo G. Vim
cennes. There is no doubt but that line will

co-laborers. in a country without railroads or
wagon-roads, hungry and dusty, walked through
a field of wheat. They pulled and ate the grains
while they yet walked. This was on the Sab
bath, and for this Dissertation of the day they
were denounced by the orderly people. On
another Sabbath, equally weary of travel and
work, He stopped to speak to ? throng of poor
and vicious people around y well, and. seeing a
poor sick man on a miserable couch, healed him
and ordered him to take up his bed and carry
it home. For this both the poor man and his
healer were soundly berated as desecratOrs of
the Sabbath. The same traveller and his dusty
followers stopped, one Sabbath day, in front of
a house made with hands, where good, quiet
people woIshiped God, and, seeing a poor SICK
woman, broke into the quiet of that Sabbath by
healing her. The ruler Tor pastor) of
that house Of worship was indignant at
this desecration of the day. and so expressed
it in public. The traveller and laborer turned
upon him with language not unfamiliar
now: Thou hypocrite. doth not each of you, on
the Sabbath day loose his OK or his ass from the
stall and lead him away to the water!' This
Christ, who was Lord also of the Sabbath day,
and for whom, and in honor of his interpreta-
ton of its privileges and duties, the slavish Sab
bath of the jew was changed to the Christian
Sunday, applied the word 'hypocrite' in a differ
ent sense to what it has been used of late. He
never scolded at a camp meeting around Cali
lee, or along the Jordan, because the multi
tude came on Sunday; even if all Jerusalem and
Judea came out to these gatherings, He never
asked n question rs to how they came. tie never
quarreled with one of them as TO how they shonfd
spend the Sabbath. One good boy who had kept
all the commandments from his youth. and OBJ
served every Sabbath, was told that he lacked
love for his fellows, and to go and sell all he had
and give to the poor and then he should have
everlasting life.
1t may be that the day for the usefulness of
camp meetings has passed, and we are inclined to
that opinion; but | believe the tent-holders at
Acton are trying to make them "A means Of good
TO a class not often otherwise reached. They
are convinced that some regulation Of Sunday
trains is necessary and the trustees are trying
to find the proper thing to do, and obey both
human and Divine law. Such a course as is be
ing pursued against them is not fair and proper,
and will lead 10 eIeat wrong to society and the
cause that many good people engaged in this
abuse undoubtedly desire to build up. b. J.

I. n. Pattison, for the benefit Of their creditors.
They report that while there were no pressing

made in order to insure equally fair treatment
to all. The assets are said to be $4,000 and
liabilities $l4,0 900. Samuel Eiehberg. of New

POISON

In the blood is apt to show itself in the spring, and
nature should by all means be assisted in throwing it
off. Swifts Specific does this effectively. 1t is a
purely vegetable, non-poisonous remedy, which helps
nature to force all the poison or faint out through the
pores Of the skin.

A MAN WITH ELEVEN WIVES.
Two of Them from Indiana-He Is in Prison
for Forgery, Not Bigamy.
pbiIadeTnhia Rarord


Philadelphia Record.
Eleven wives is the number of women that
Peter Tatro claims he was married to. and of
these five have been found living and well, each
mourning the loss of the husband. The other
half dozen will no doubt be found within a
short time. Tatro was sentenced in the United
States District Court on Monday under the
name of John A. Moore, and sent to the Eastern
penitentiary for two years, and fined $500. He
was charged with having personated a pension
igent and forging a pensioners name to a
voucher. The man is ffty-three years of age,
and a native of Franklin county, New York.
He Is agreeable in manners, and his ways were
so enhancing that within ten years five women
consented to become his wife after brief court
ships. This gay deceiver appeared at Brockport,
N. Y, in 1873 and after a brief wooing made
Miss Ella Webb his wife, giving his name as J.
Stone. The honeymoon was not over before
the man began a desperate Irritation with q widow
named Parsons, of Candor, n. Y, and in a
month he deserted the BrockpoIt wife and made
Mrs. Parsons Mrs. Sheldon Burleigh. In a few
months he tired of this female, and early one
morning took a train for the West. He con-
cluded to stop at South Bend, Ind, and, under
the name of Fl. c. Pomeroy, proclaimed himself
a United States provost marshal. The mans
manners made him Il favorite, and in the good
ness of his heart he offered to prosecute q
number of doubtful pension claims, always tax
ing care to obtain q small fee. While engaged
in this business he married a Miss Mason.
But his wickedest exploit was at Wabash, Ind.
Ia 1878, under the name of j. w. jerks, he be
came acquainted with Miss NJ. C. Stewart. Like
her predecessors she in turn became the wife of
the villain. He induced her to dispose of a farm
for 81, 800 and HE with him to his mansion in
California. At Chicago he obtained possession
of her money and left her at a hotel penniless.
In 1879 the oily tongued scamp made his appear
anee in Allegheny county, and under the name
of John Hoax, was convicted of grand larceny.
He served three years for this crime. AS soon
as he was released from the work7house he re-
sumed his swindling career, and was found in
Cumberland, Nd, acting as a special examiner
of pensions. giving the name of A. G. Webb.
Here he won the heart of Mrs. j. P. Anderson,
a widow. He WAS detected at Cumberland in
his swindling and fed to Marietta, where he
was arrested. He procured sums of money
varying from 81 to $50 from numerous persons,
and lived in clover. Among his other names
wepe James Thompson, j. Thomas, Rev. John
Tiff and Colonel Bates.

The Far-sighted Pennsylvania People.

AS there is murh speculation as to posi-
ton the Chicago, st. Louis & Pittsburg road, in
the traffic agreement of its Kokomo division, is
placed in by the Wabash dropping into the hands
of a receiver, the foresightedness of the Pennsyl-
vania people becomes a matter of interest. The
lease privileges by which the Chicago, st. Louis
& Pittsburg company use their track between In
dianapolis and Kokomo are not affected, as the
agreement was signed by the l., P. & G. com
pany, which leases to the Wabash, as we'll as by
the officers of the Wabash road, and is to be in
force twenty years, dating from 1881, the c. st.
road bed, bridges, etc, on the Wheeling basis.
On the otacr hand, the contract by which Wa
bash trains are run over the c., st. L. & p. from
the State line to Logansport, will be off unless
terms are agreed upon between the C., st. L. q
2. and the receiver.
