Mr.. Adams tried to put stop
to the filtration, which was gradually

forbade his daughter meeting the brake.

ever, and saw her lover as often as she
could. Together they planned an elope-

hand aud a bundle under her arm started
from her fathers house at Elwood and
walked to Bsst Elwood, 3 mile or two

BOGIA OF DEEAHARB.

A Republican OAice-hoider Posing as
a Labor Reformer.
A United Press dispatch to the New
York Star says that the national eight
hour committee has issued q circular
Cleveland and Hendrirk and for Blaine
and Logan, for the reason that the
Republican party, in its recent oonven-
tion endorsed specific labor measures. ="
The circular Ia signed by ex-senator
Muroh Of Maine, and among the sigma
lures Of the committee appears the name
Of Fsrd d. Bogia Of Delaware.
II all the other members Of the COM
mittee are like Bogia, this circular is
merely scheme to advance the interests
Of the Republican patty in the
pending campaign. BoRia, instead Of
being q consistent labor reiormer, IL
Republican and government
employee. He formerly resided in
this city and was member of the book
binding firm Of johnston & Bogis, but in
1874 Congressman Lohand procured him
q position in the bindery department Of
the government printing office where he ia
still employed. He does not even have q
vote in Delaware, as he removed his
family to Washington several years age
and has no residence here.
In politics Bogia was not only Repub
lioan but bitter partisan, and he could
never deceive his Wilmington associates
by posing as a labor reformer. BoRia'f
interest is In the success OF the Repub
lican party and that is what he is labor
| ing for.

was terribly aud fatally burned at his

lamp over his person. he had been
troubled with mosquitoes and arose
from the bed to light the lamp. On 60

JOB LOTS OF HORSE THIEVEs,
who Suddenly ThOughtTh Heard
Something Drop.

SOtuethhuk DEops
Fort KEoeH, MON, Aug. 5.-Between
the Musselshell and Judith rivers are the
most daring and powerful bands Of horse
thieves, regularly organized and cap
tanned that have ever existed in Montana.
For the past month thieves have not been
having all thinRs their own way. In the
Yellowstone country no less than 70 have
been lynohed during that time.
Numerous steamboat w0od-yards along
the Missouri river are nothing more than
nests and hiding places for the robbers,
who are new known to be both white and
red. Vigilantes and safety committees
are at last being organized to hunt the
rasoals down, and from the reports
coming in much good work is being done.
Many telegraph poles and trees bear the
well-ventilated bodies OF either white
men, Indians or half.breeds.
Reese Anderson was the first citizen Ia
open the campaign, and with rs cowboys
belonging to the Stuart Il Kohn's Cattle
Company cleared out in short order a
nest Of stock thieves who infested the
Musselshell and lower Judith basins, l9
in all, including two half breeds, were
rounded up and hanged. Anderson's
party then pursued and overlook a num-
Der OF horse thieves who were attempt
ing to drive large herd q
horses across the line into British terri
tory. All the stock was recovered, but
the eight thieves escaped into the Cana
dian possessions. Another band of cow
boys captured at Rocky Point few days
ago gang Of five horse thieves, recover
ing from them 80 horses. The hve out
laws were then suspended from the
nearest trees. These are but few of the
recent adventures Of the vigilantes.

A Mr.. John 0'Donnell ia out with n
statement in Monday evenings New York
Telegram to the effect that two genuine
cases Of Chinese leprosy exist at this
moment in Brooklyn, and that in all

disease In New York In what Is known
as the Chinese quarter. 0'Donnell ia a

He says "My brother, DR.. c.

with him two Chinese lepers for the pur.
pose Of exhibiting them to the medical
profession In ihis city as an evidence Of
danger to be apprshended from the

that there are several loathsome cases Of

The crew Of the Japura, from Para,
South America, arrived In Wilmington
last night. They shipped by sailing ves-
sci from Para TO New York and were two
months at sea. They do not appear very
enthusiastic about their trip to the
tropics. They have bcen more or less
troubled with sickness, especially ohagres
fever, and one Of their party, Patrick
Burke, died Of It on the voyage home,
when about 1000 miles south oil
Hatteras Point. One OF the
crew remarked "They don't trouble
much abont poor fellow when he dies
out at sea. Poor Burke was just sewn
up in q sack with q hundred pounds Of
coal at his feet and was heaved over.

to New York by steamship. Those left
behind at Para are reported by the recent
arrivals as all quite we'll. 1t ia oonsidered
hardly likely that the returned crew will
reship for another voyage south.

AL snti-monOpolist nomination for PreHi'

ti0n by Butler ia nothing more or less than
| a mammoth inconsistency. II has been
shown in campaigns In this state that
men whom he charged with being
monopolists were paying better wages,
with less working hours, and giving
better accommodations 10 their employees
than Butler himself, among then" honest
Tom Talbot" who was acting governor
OF the state few years ago. One OF the
more recent Of his asping schemes was
the purchase OF land in Squantam, near
Boston, which the city needed for the ex
tension Of it's sewerage system, and
which Butler secured when he learned
that the city would need 1t. He WAS once
q sound Grsenbaoker, but two years ago,
when he found 1t was for his political
interests to do so, he changed and de-
olared that the mission OF Greenbaokism
was ended. He thinks 80 still, and II he
says anything different 1t will be because
