Another County Seat war in Dakota.

PIERRE, DAKOTA, Jan. s.--A telegram
from Forest City, Salter county, says:
An armed mob from Gettisburg and
vicinity came to Foro.t City
yesterday, and under charge Of
Q. w. Gilchrist, John w. Bryson
and man named Doty took possession
of the public records by tearing out part
of the building in which they were kept
and removing them by force. The sheriff
has started in pursuit, at the head of an
armed force, and tho probabilities are
that fight will ensue. Citizens are
coming In from all directions this morn
ing. They say unless the records are re-
turned to-day the county will be the
scene of bloodshed and riot. A great
majority of the people desire the county
seat matter settled by the courts, and
will abide the decision cheertully, but
the probabilities are that $50 men,
armed to the teeth, will make raid on
Gettisburg tonight and demand the
records.

Fugleman Field,

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-Cyrus W. Field
said this morning, in regard to Gen.
Grants refusal TO receive the fund be
ing raised for his benefit, that he had no
knowledge of Gen. Grants reasons.
He could only imagine that some friend
of the generals had taken up tho Van
derbilt claim. MIR. Field said he had
returned every cent subscribed, but he
refused to state the amount raised. He
stated there would have been
no difficulty in raising the sum,
and that Vanderbilt had told him the
property of the general, intrinsically,
was worth Sl7O,OOO.

The Colorado Senatnrshin.

DENVER, Jan. s.-The first bout in the
senatorial tournament has been fought,
the friends of Senator Hill claiming for
him the victory, and with some show of
justice, as Mr.. Stewart, who was elected
speaker of the house, was regarded as
Senator Hills candidate. There was
but one other candidate in the caucus
and he was the choice of the anti Hill
forces, who claim, however, that the
senatorial line was partially eliminated
from the speakership contest, and that

GREENsBuRG, PA, Jan. s.--This com.
munity was startled this morning by
the published announcement that Eng
lish detectives have obtained evidence
that powerful secret society OF dyna-
mitels is In existence within the
boundary of this county; also that the
society is directly responsible for the
recent explosions and assassinations in
England. These detectives have been
on the track of the society or brother
MOOD Tor several months, and have
found 1t well and strongly organized,
somewhat under the plan of the Molly
Maguires; that its treasury contains
large sums of money obtained by as
sessment and other sources from ali
parts Of the state. Some of the
recent explosions have been
traced directly to this society, as well
as number of assassinations oom-
mitted in England. These English de-
tectives have mingled with the suspect
for year, and have departed for Wash
ington with the evidence, which they
will lay before the proper American and
English authorities. This evidence ia
the possession of these detectives is of
such q nature that il will show beyond
doubt that citizens OF this country
have been and are now engaged in
sending to England trusted men with
large quantities of dynamite, and men
who have the nerve to use it after II is
there.
THE PUMP AT PITrsBuRa.
PITTsBURG, Jan. S.--Prominent Irish
Americana spoken TO this morning in
regard to the discovery of society OF
dynamiters at Greensbnrg, say such
thing is improbable. But there was
sort OF look about their faces which in
dicated that they probably knew more
about the matter than they cared to adj
init. II is certain that there has been
something in the wind about Pittsburg
for some time of most unusually inter
esting nature.
PROBABLY THIS Is TRUE,
A Greenhurg, Pennsylvania special
says: The story that English detectives
have obtained evidence that powerful
secret society ofdynamiters is in exis-
tence at 1rwin's Station, who are
directly responsible for the recent ex-
plosions in England is received with
little credence, although II is admitted
that stranger, whose actions have
been decidedly queer, has been seen at
the various hotels during the past year.
IL Is claimed that the story Is a political
scheme to bring about antagonism be-
tween the English and Irish residents
OF this country and prevent future CO.
alltlons, such as proved victorious In the
late election

The Editors Condition Described.

an Austin newspaper office one day
lately. and drawing out Il concealed
document, said to the editor:

gentleman Of refinement and iutelll-

but he is too proul to let the public
know it,"

with animation.

his seat. That man came to help me

President Tyler and his Witty Coach
man.

A Washington letter recalls a story
told of John Tyler, who it will be re-
membered, got to the White House
through the death of President Harri-
son: Tyler was very fond OF Il fine
turnout, but his pocket was not deep
enough to correspond with his tastes.
One day one Of the leading members
of the diplomatic circle was recalled
from Washington, and his magnificent
establishment ha | to be sold. An i'm
portant part of this was his carriage,
which was at the time the finest by
all odds in Washington. Tyler had
looked at it many times with longing
eyes as its owner had driven it up and
down Pennsylvania avenue, and as it
had stood now and then in front Of
the White House. He feared, however,
the criticism which was sure to attend
the buying of anything by the Presi-
dent at auction, and called his coach
man, with whom he was familiar, to
advise With him in regard to it. The
co Gilman liked the Garage and was
anxious that Mr.. Tyler should buy it.
But Pat" said Tyler, "what will the
world say at the Presidents riding in
"a second hand carriage?' "Och! your
honor" was the rely, "they will say
nothing about it 1T all, at all. You
know you are but second hand Pres
Ident, any way, and it seems to me
nothing cIuld be mo fit Whether

not the reports fail t, state.

A Bluff Game.

4 well known and elderly Albany
merchant was in New York, recently.
buying goods. He entered one house,
VIXEN the junior partner stepped up to
him and said, brusquely, "How old
You are getting. Mr.. Blank Pity you
can't keep young and strong like us"
he remark was gratuitous, and the
manner of it impertinent.
The Albany merchant said nothing
for moment, but presently answered,
My y"ung friend, it is true that | am
getting old, being past sixty; but l
will wager You the best dinner you
and your friends can get in New York
that | will take you side hold-and
throw you over my head. Come up
stairs. We will be alone ana You can
throw some buffalo robes on the floor
so you will not get severed hurt, and
if | don't upset you in short order |
Will buy both wine and dinner. Come"
And the old gentleman took him by
the arm. But he wouldn't go. He
looked aSham d and embarrassed by
the smiles of those in the store.
The fun of the thing was, said
the Albanian, relating the circum-
stances and chucklng to himself, "that
it was such clear, cold case OF bluff.
The youngster could have made u
wreck of me with one hand. | am
really ignorant of what side hold is.
But | looked him square in the eye,
and he doubtless tho .ght | was d bad
man from the North, although getting
up stairs would have winded me-"

A Bride Who Didn't Need Advics.

A rather green looking couple en-
tered the office of a justice and request
ed the magistrate to unite them in
marriage. At the conclusion of the
ceremony the justice, out of his vast
experience, gave them few words Of
advice. After he had explained to
tie young man his duties as husband,
etc, he turned t, the bride, he told
her how she should conduct herself,
that she must look to her husband
for everything, and, forsaking father
and mother and brothers and sisters,
follow him wherever he went. She
stood it pretty we'll, but when he be-
came eloquent she became FESTIVE, and
finally She interrupted MIN with the
remark, -
"Cut that short, judge; I've be n
married twice before"
A poet says: ''The beauty of her
hair bewlldered me-" 1t PROBABLY fell
down when he was kissing her.

Grant and the Kentucky Girl.

The kentucky women are as enthuSl
astic about horses as the men They
unhesllati"gly place the horse before
themselves as thr great attraction of
the State. | remember of hearing a
conversation between General Grant
and u kentucky girl at the st. Louis
Merchants Exchange in 1879, when
General (then Pre>IdenD Grant was
visiting the St. Louis Fair. A num-
Der of ladies were introduced to tn
President, whereupon he spoke IN
very high terms of st. Louis, the Fair
etc. You are mistaken, Mr.. Presi-
dent; We are not from st. Louis"
Iaughinglv said one Of the girls; "we
are from Kentucky, very fine State,
you know, which possess three things
all men of taste must appreciate. -"
Smilingly, the President asked her
what they were. She answered: 1--WE
have the finest horses, the prettiest
women and the finest whiskey in the
world" The Presidentreplied: "Your
horses are certainly justly renowned.
| have some on my firm near here; ;
yourself and party prove the correct
ness of your >econd observation, but
whisky is one of the things that re-
qu!res age, and your men consume it
so fast tina, It rarely has fair chance
to become good" The girl thought
that, if General Grant could not make
a long speech, he was apt at repartee.
