THE STALLION VIRGIL DEAD.
The Sire Whose Children Have Won
$42i,452 in Is. Years,

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 1.-THE great
sire of racers, Virgil, by Vandal, dam
imp. Hymenia, by Yorkshire, is dead.
For two months past he had been afflicted
with something like asthma. As a sire
attention was first attracted to him by
the performances of Fagrant, Girl of the
Period, Nirginius, Fairplay and others. As
ihree-year-old he started seven times
and won five. Afterward he was used as
hurdier. broken, and driven to buggy.
The late Nj. H. Sanford purchased him
from ID. Swigert for use in the Freak
ness stud. When Mr.. Swigert brought
Preakness farm and stock Mr.. Swigert
again became his owner. This was 1872.
After the season 1878, Mr.. Sanford pre.
sented Virgil to Col. Bel Bruce. editor
OF the Live Stock Record. The horse had
been used to finish the season of Bay
wood, who was taken sick. Ia this acct
dental way his great merits were dis
covered. Col. Bruce gave half interest
in the horse to Williams IL Owens for
keeping him, being unable TO sell him for
$500. He made no season in 1874. After
Nagrant won the Kentucky Derby in 1876
Col Bruce sold Virgil back to Mr.. San
ford for s., 900. The latter afterward re-
fused $25, 600 for him, priced him at $40
600, and advanced to 100000. From 1873
to 1886 his get won the round sum OF

THE CAUSE OF HOG CHOLERA.
A Farmer Thought to Have Died
of the Disease.

OF the Disease
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-THE ravaees
OF hog cholera In the central part OF the
State are matter of serious study by
those concerned. An important discov-
cry in connection with the disease is al
legged to have been made by a farmer
named Sheppard, in Henry county. He
had long believed that the disease Is no.
thlngImore or less than parasites or trichl-
ne in the stomach of the hog, and, to vim
dictate his Judgment, had postmortem
examination upon hog that died this
week. His opinion was substantiated by
the finding with the naked eye of many
or those parasites in the second lining OF
the stomach. He communicated the fact
OF his discovery to the Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, and he has
referred the subject to microecOpist for
examination and report. Mr.. Sheppard
thinks he has also discovered a preven-
tive of these parasites, and expects to
be able soon to give his remedy to the
public.
A remarkable story comes from Mum
Gle, Delaware county, to the effect that
George Wilson, a well-to-do farmer living
eight miles south OF Muncie, died yester-
day afternoon with disease contracted
while administering medicine to cholera
hoRs. Attending physicians claim that
the disease is similar to hog cholera, and
that 1t may become epidemic. Wilson
was only sick four hours. and died in the
most agonizing pain. The entire south
ern portion of the county is horror
stricken, and many farmers are anxious
TO sell their farms and go West. 1t is re-
ported that many farmers have left their
homes, and Will not return until the
question Of epidemic is decided In this
case

Rrothers-in-Law Exchange Shots
One MORALLY Wounded.

COLUMBUS, GA, Sept. ia terrible
tragedy occurred near Greenville, Ca,
yesterday afternoon, in which Frank
Freeman shot and killed his brother-in-
law, William Odom. Odom married Free
mans sister about ten months ago. Since
that time they have quarreled, and lately
Odom treated his wife so badly she left
him and went to live with her uncle and
Brother. Odom swore 10 be revenged,
and yesterday, arming himself, went TO
Freeman's house to get his wife and kill
her brother. He walked upon the front
porch ana shot at Freeman through the
noor. Freeman returned the fire, and
struck Odom in the stomach.
This was followed by rapid
firing by both mep. Odom finally
fell with five bullet wounds in his head
and body. Freeman was shot through
his hand and one bullet passed through
bis hat. After doom tell Freeman dubbed
bis pistol and beat Odom over the head.
Odom's wife was the only witness to the
tragedy. Freeman claims that the shoot
ing was In self defense. He has not as
yet been arrested and has made no at
Iempt to escape. Odom's remains we're
inferred in this city to-day. Both men
were engaged in business in Greenville.

WAR DEPARTMENT SCANDAL.
An Officer Detected Duplicating His
Paw Account.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11-Another scan
dal has been made public at the War De-
partment. Capt. w. S. johnson, OF this
city, an officer on the retired list, has
been caught duplicating bis pay account
again, and will be court martialed, though
probably not before the Secretary of War
returns to Washington. He was found to
have collected his pay twice over, once
here and once at New York.
Capt. johnson has a bad record. He
was Lieutenant in the regular army
during the war, and shortly after the
close OF the war he was tried and con-
victed of stealing some quartermaster's
stores at Fort Wayne, Mich. For this
Offense he WAS court martialed and dis
missed from the service. Some time af-
terward ne was reappointed by President
Grant. Since then he has duplicated his
accounts once before now, but there were
said to be ing;circumstances and
he got off then with a reprimand. This
time he will certainly have a trial by
court martial.

NOTES FROM RINGoEs.


TIE congregation of the Larson Cor
ner Church has called Rev. Mr.. Donald
son to he their pastor Whether or Lot
he will accept the call is not yet known.
The members of the kirkpatrick Me-
mortal Church have decided to tender a
call to Rev. MIR. Cowles.
On last Saturday evening but one, and
the Sabbath following, services we're con-
Quoted at the Baptist Church, by Bap-
list minister then visiting the village. He
was assisted by Rev. Edw. Gerald, a for
mer pastor of the church here, but now of
Croton.
Mr.. Clinton Godown, of Lambertville, is
expected soon to remove into the house
recently vacated by Mr.. Stephen Hills re-
moval. Mr.. Godown will carry on the
wheelwright business, at the stand occu-
pied some years past by Mr., Geo. Suy-
dam.
A sign bearing the name of Mr.. John
H. Fisher now hangs before the harness
shop; while over the door which former
ly opened into Mrs. Giles millinery
shops is now placed sign board signify
ing that the occupant, Mr.. Geo. W. Cher
ry, Sr., is prepared to do shoemaking and
mending for all who need these services.
Flowing and gardening are now the
leading occupations of those who own or
rent land for agricultural purposes.
The mean spirited boys of the CON-
munity are still carrying on their nightly
depredations, stoning buildings, putting
scare-crows up in the road for the purpose
of frightening horses aud the like. We
hear some express the wish that these
gentlemen could be found out aud indict
ed for their misdemeanors. This certainly
would not be giving them more than jus
tice, but our own opinion is that q cart
whipping, which would make them meek
enough to stay at home and nurse their
bruises for few days, would be more eff
fectual than an indictment. AT any rate
we would like to see it tried.
The shower Of last week was unusually
severe. We have heard accounts of strik-
ing by lightning in various places. Several
telegraph poles in the village were
struck, one partly shattered to pieces. A
large tree in the door yard on the farm
belonging to G. W. Larson, was struck,
and a chain which was hanging suspen.
ded from limb of it, some links were
broken, some melted, aud some could not
be found. Miss Sallie Prall, who was
standing against the door-jamb within
the house, directly under lantern, which
was suspended there, was stunned by the
shock. Mr.. Abram Prall, who with two
others was at the barn, was turned around
with his back toward the objects which
before he had been facing. The others
did not appear to be effected by it. For
tnnately no one was seriously injured.
Mr.. and Miss Pral soon recovered from
the effects Of the shock.
Some of the young meu of the village
are attempting to organize band. Judg-
ing from the amount of torture, which
many who are obliged to stay within
hearing distance of their praoticing are
now undergoing, we ought to be enter
tanned with first class music, sometime in
the near future.
