j. D. Treadwell, travelling salesman
for Thurber, Whyland & Co., of New
York, made us a very pleasant visit
Monday and Tuesday of this week.
Several arrivals are expected this
week. The most important being Mr..
Charles Travis, who came to the state in
1866 from Michigan, to which place he
returned after about two years of camp
life here. He now comes to visit his old
camping ground, and may, possibly,
make some investments.

President Cleveland attending the fu-

feeling akin 10 disgust. Who knows
where the greatest danger to human life
lays? l once heard well authenticated
account of a soldier who passed through
the late war bravcly fighting in nearly
all the battles in Virginia, coming home
after the war closed in apparent good
health, who, attempting to take bath
in an ordinary wash tub, fell in the tub
in a fit and was drowned. Vice-Presi-
d lent Hendricks died in the absolute
quiet of his own home. SO quick and
quiet was his death that his last breath
was drawn entirely unattended. Who
knows where the place of salty is?

A Plea That He Killed Davis to Save
 His Own Life.


 NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Holland, the man who shot Tom Davis, has friends in the city whose intention is to do everything in their power to assist him in his trial for murder. They assert that Holland and Hill came to this city for the express purpose of detecting the Davis brothers in their swindling opera tions and bringing about their prosecution. The operators in 'tsawdust" games do most of their business in the unsettled districts of the Northwest and Southwest. It is under stood that Hollands lawyers will adopt the following line of defense: Holland went to the office of the Davis brothers intending to obtain evidence against them and if possible to capture them then and there. He needed for this purpose to obtain possession of the contents of the bag prepared by Davis, whether it be good money or bad, or blank paper. He was prepared for trickery and when he saw the bag disappearing he jump ed forward to seize it. Davis rushed toward the Texan, who, expecting to be attacked, drew his pistol and used it in self-defense.
 Coroner Levy began this morning an in- quest in the case. The room was crowded by friends and acquaintances of the murdered man. "The" Davis, the brother of Hollands victim, gave similar evidence to that given in the Tombs police court yesterday. The jury found that Davis died from the effects of Holland pleaded "not guilty of the charge. on without bail and Hill was also locked

 NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The Mail and Ex- press, which recently started the story of 8 coolness between MT. Tilden and the ad- ninistration, comments as follows to-day upon Mr. Manning's present visit to MT. Tilden:
 Ever since the publication of the facts of the disruption between MT. Ti1den and the administration there has been feeling among Democrats generally that unless some sort of truce was patched up in advance of the State convention there would be des- perate struggle between the administration on one side and the Hill forces backed by the influence of Mir. Tilden oD the other for the govsrnorship and that such state of af- fairs would without doubt lead to division of the party throughout the State and certain disaster at the polls result A gentleman intimate with the Sage of Greystone said to a reporter this afternoon: ''Mr Tilden is incensed at the failure of the administration to make his protege, J. Ed ward Simmons, collector and Smith M. Weed
 surveyor and to my knowledge was at first
 inclined to ignore the overture for peace
 from the administration. Manning's per
 sistence in seeking an interview finally led.
 however, through the intervention of mutual
 friends to MT. Tilden's consent to receive
 him. To-days visit is the result. What
 will be the outcome remains to be seen.h
