A Bear Trap for a Man.

FULTON, Mo-, July 27.-Bourbon
township, in the western part of Cal
laway county, now has first-class
sensation. Millersburg, the princi-
pal town in this section, containes two
stores of general merchandise, one
kept by Sexton and the other by
Robnett. For the past year these
two business houses have been en-
tered in the night time, and goods,
and sometimes small amounts of
money that might be left in the
drawers, were taken. As there was
never any great amount of goods or
money taken at any one time, and as
no conclusive proof could be obtain
ed as to who the parties were, the
matter has been kept quiet, although
suspicion rested pretty strongly on
certain persons in the vicinity. This
spring and summer these burglaries
became so frequent that Sexton and
Robnett held a council Of war and
concluded to put stop to the thiev-
ing. About five or six weeks ago
they bought, in st. Louis, a bear trap
with powerful springs and teeth. The
trap weighed forty pounds. This
trap has been kept set in the cellar
of Robnett's store. This has been
kept profound secret, no person
knowing anything about it except
Sexton and Robnett. Last Saturday
morning, when Robnett went up to
the store, he found the front door
and also the celler door broken open
and the bear trap gone. Signs of a
man wsllowing around on the cellar
floor in his sock feet were seen. The
sheriff was sent for, and this morning
search warrant and also warrant
charging Phil Gillespie, young man
of good family and about % years
old, with burglary.
The sheriff arrested Gillespie to-
day and brought him into Fulton to
be tried in Squire Townsend's court.
On account of material witnesses
being absent the trial was put off
until Thursday. 1t is supposed that
Gillespie undertook to slip into the
cellar window feet foremost and was
caught by the foot. He left the
store with the trap, which has not
been found. The house was searched
and lot Of stolen goods found. De-
fendant was held to bail in the sum
of $1,000 in one case-$700 on
charge of burglary on the 3Oth of
June. He is worth about $4,000,
and can easily give bond by Thurs
day. A number of other parties are
and more arrests expected.

DIPLONIArIsr KELLEY.

The Facts Which are said to Have Caus-
ed for Him Change of Destination.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-There has been
a great deal Of smoke about the Kelley
affair, which, now that he is definitely
settled as Minister to Austria-HungarY,
is blown away or resolved into cold facts.
To-day the following explicit statement
was made by an intimate friend of Mr..
Kelley, who is in a position to know all
the facts: "Until Monday Mr.. Kelley had
no conception Of the position in relation
TO his appointment whichhad been assum-
ed by the Italian government. He learned
then for the first time all that had occurred
in the diplomatic correspondence between
the two governments. Baron FaYre, the
Italian Minister here, had transmitted to
his government, addressed to Count Man
cini, the Italian Minister of Foreign Az
fairs, brief statement Of the objections
to Mr.. Kelley, raised in the American
press. Count Mancin asked for fuller
particulars. Baron Favre sent him by
cable copies OF the resolution against Vie
tor Emanuefs occupation of Rome, Mr..
keiley's speech at the time IL was adopt
ed, and the editorial comments in the.
tribune and one or TWO other leading pa
pers. Count Mancini replied at length,
oe1 4h- hbeAL 1t WOuAA ClllUNi 1 aho @AAs hGl-
ley no less than the Italian government
if he should 90 to Rome as the represent
tative Of this country; that it would be
unpleasant to all concerned; and that,
considering the cordial relations that had
existed between the two countries, he
was quite unwilling to see anything grow
up TO disturb them without an effort TO
stop it. All this correspondence. by di-
rection Of Count Mancini, was submitted
through Baron Fayre to Mr.. Bayard and
the President They invited Mr. Kelley
to come to W Washington. The correspOn-
dence was shown TO him aud he promptly
said that he did not desire TO embarrass
the administration. He thereupon wrote
out his resignation. 1t rs his original
purpose to stand upon his rights. lie
reasoned that as he was persona drdtd
to the American people, of which his APP
pointment was the evidence, he should
place upon the Italian government the
burden of rejecting him as persona non
gf0td to Italy. But the eXhib itiOn of the
official correspondence changed his mind.
He was not without expectation that
some other post of equal grade would be
offered him, but he had no positive knowl-
edge what place would be offered him
until after ne had returned to New York.
Secretary B3yard communicated to him
by telegraph on Thursday the de isi0n to
send MIN to Vienna.

cannot regulate charges on freight from
points outside of Alabama to points in
