LONDON, July 31.-The STANDARD, which
is the accepted Tory organ, used the fol-
lowing language in its attack on Lord
Randolph Churchill as leader of the Con-
servstive party: "To speak plainly, Lord
Randolph Churchill has been putfed in
the press with admirable assiduity by a
well-organized CLIQUE, which is always
ready to cry 'prodigious' whenever he
opens his mouth, but IL Is all In vain
The Liverpool incident shows the extent
of the alarm which Lord ChurchllPs
laundering and clustering have inspired
within the bosom of his party.
BREAKERs AHEAD.
"It were a thousand times better that
the Conservatives should be again in op-
position than that they should be exposed
to the humiliation Of such things as Lord
Churchilps attack on Earl Spencer's gov
ernment Of Ireland. Unless the govern
ment disavows these attacks it will feel
the bad effects in the future more seriously
than 1t has yet contemplated. The truth
is, that Lord Randolph Churchill has been
much overrated. II his pranks be
endured longer he win smash
the government and the conservative
party. We will follow the Marquis of
Salisbury, but we win not follow this
overgrOwn schOolboy, without knowledge
sufficient to fathOm his own ignorance of
craftsmanship. 1t is a common saying
that Lord Randolph Churchill is equally
radical with Joseph Chamberlain, aud the
popular estimate is not far VrOn9D

CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.
The Details of What is Probably
Fine Piece of Work.

On Friday night Andrew Behan, accom-
panied by q man who gives his name as
Joyce, came into J. H. Ryan's saloon on
Upper Main street, and after the parties
had three or four drinks Joyce, who was
sober, endeavored to get Behan, who was
intoxicated, to accompany him to Center
Vile, but friend OF the latter interfered,
and Behan sat down and went to sleep in
the place. Joyce, as was supposed. went
away, but about 1920 O'Clock he came up
the hill again, or it is SO claimed, in an ex-
press sleigh and sent the driver into the
saloon after Behan. knowing that the
latter lived in Centerville, his friends sup
posed that it was all right. and he was as
sisted into the vehicle. When the convey
ance reached point this side OF Center
vile. the driver asked for the fare OF the
two men. Behan paid his, but Joyce re-
fused to, and got out, but followed the
sleigh. At Centerville Behan got
out, and it is asserted that
Joyce followed him. Nothing more was
seen OF either during the night, but whom
Behan got up about noon on Saturday he
was minus his watch and chain and $24 in
money, which he was known to have had
in his possession when he left the saloon.
Yesterday several persons saw Joyce. and
some of them think that they recognized
Behan's chain upon him, it beinga peculiar
one, owing to the shape OF the links. At
any rate they had Joyce arrested, and he
was locked up in the city prison by Officer
Young. When searched he had nothing
upon him, and no trace of the watch and
chain or the money could be found. He
will be called up to-day, and rs yet there
is nothing positive against him. the evil
dence being purely circumstantial.

MIDNIGHT RIDERS.
How q vagabond Escaped q Rattling Fire
From Irate Citiz ms.

WINCHESTER, O., December 12.-One night
last week some midnight riders, reinforced
to the number of eighty, visited the domi-
ciIe of j ohm Watheny and with axes cut
his door down. Threats had been made
against him befo g and for few days he
disappeared, but plucking up courage, he
returned and INDUCED in a great deal OF
talk as to what he would do II he was
visited. When the door was attacked he
Jumped out of the window, making his es-
cape minus his hirt, pants. coat and hat:
He ran through the Gordon of guards around
the premises and made his way across the
fields to Jack Mays premises fully mile
away. where he called Jack up and asked
for clothing, which was refused. The
party after him were well armed, and as
Watheny ran through the gate they fired
at him and the gateposts are now iall OF
lead. His escape under such rattling fire
ia marvellous. Matheny's offense is as fol
lows: His neighbor. Valentine Seigel. is
blacksmith For Seigel's wife he formed an
attachment, and for many months ne
visited his house and basked in the atfec'
tions uf his wife, Seigel caught the guilty
parties in an amorous embrace and OBJECT
ed to such familiarity. This rutt1ed Mrs:
Seigel's temper and she picked up ana moveo eve
to Matthew's house, where she took Mrs
Matthew's place in the family circle. For
two years this woman has lived with
Matbeny, with her injured husband not loo
feet away. Their adultery has been open
and notorious, but no attempts have been
made to enforce the law against the crlml'
nal parties, and John has had Things Ms
own way. Occasionally he has varied
the monotony of his precinct by gettlne
out in the road in front OF Seigel's home
and and W walking up and down with a revolver
in each hand, swearing what he would 40

THE BUTCHER BOYS.
One Exciting Race and One Forfeit
Yesterday.

There were two races announced TO take
place yesterday between Butte butchers,
the gentlemen, for wagers, agreeing to dc
eide who was the more cNpost in their lire
of business. There has been considerable
talk among the principals and their adj
mirers over the event and, as a result, there
was quite IL large attendance at Bielenbergs
where the main or beef match was to be
held The contestants were Andrew Mel
son, an employc of Bielenberg, and VIII
liam Freund, who works for Nickels. At
1:3O time was called by Charles Bruber,
and the beeves killed and set on the bridges,
and both men set to work. At the startlt
seemed as though Freund would be an
easy winner, for he had the legs off and had
rounded his steer before his opponent had
gotten off the fore legs. Nelson, however,
kept right along although it seemed for.
lorn hope, for Freund kept ahead until
they began "pritching." when the latter
made a bad slip, and as a result lost fully
thirty seconds, and the mishap cost him
the race. When the work was completed,
the Judges announced that Nelson was the
winner in X minutes, Freund coming in a
good 10 seconds later. There was con-
siderable interest manifested, and large
sums OF money changed hands.
A match at dressing sheep had also been
arranged to take place yesterday between
NJ. Sullivan, OF Bieenberg's, and ). Heller
of Nickels', but for some reason the latter
failed to materialize, and the stake holder
paid the stakes over to Sullivan and de-
clared all bets forfeited
