Two Negroes Lynched.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenu.. December IL
Last night, about IL O'Clock, a mob of
masked men visited the Jail at Ringgold,
in Caloosa county, Georgia, and after
overpowering the jailor, took out two
prisoners named George Sparks and
Monroe Smith, both negroes, and tax.
ing them to a point near the railroad
south of town, hanged them to tree,
where they were found this morning and
cut down by the authorities. Both ne
groes have been engaged in robbing and
burning houses in north Georgia, for
some months and came to Re terror to
the community. Smith confessed the
crime of which the two had been guilty.
The latest crime was the robbing and at
tempted burning of a family residence
near Ringgold, on which occasion Smith
said they had plotted to murder every
body in the house, rob the building and
then burn it. There is no clue to the
identity of the lynchers.

LONDON, December ll.--Lady Colin

refused to continue relations with Lord
Colin because of the physical and moral
suffering it entailed upon her. She told
Lord Colin if he ever used force to CON-

ScOurs in Calves.

This is very frequent as well as an.
noying and dangerous disease with
calves. Close observation and some
experience for over thirty. five years has
convinced us that in ninety-nine cases in
one hundred it is caused by indigestion
or sour stomach, brought on by feeding
sour or cold milk. 1t does seem strange
that so many men have lived to the years
of maturity and yet have not learned
that no man can afford to .di obey Ger.
tain laws in the feeding of young ami.
mails.
Very rarely one will see a calf that
runs with its mother afflicted with
scours unless the mother gives too rich
milk. This will sometimes caase indi.
gestion. What are the ruling oondi-
tions that govern with calf that runs
with it's mother
l. 1t always takesits milk warm.
2. 1t always gets it sweet.
3. 1t feeds often and in small quaint.
ties.
Now, instead of making these condi-
tions solid basis of judgment in the
treatment of calf great many men
violate them in every particular, and
then wonder that the calves get sick,
have the scours or do not thrive.
They invariably feed the milk cold;
they are very apt to feed it sour, and
generally feed it twice day.
These men should remember that a
calf is bovine baby; that for the first
six weeks his stomach is in what may be
termed a rennet state, after which it
slowly assumes Illuminating condition
or function. - = ss,S6s
Every mother knows that cold, sour
milk is very apt to produce diarrh@a
and dysentery in children, and an emf
nent physician in st. Louis says that q
large portion of the cases OF cholera in
fantum: in that city are caused by sour
milk, or milk that has commenced to
sour.
A. close study of the calf and its diges.
tive functions will teach US that it will
pay the biggest kind OF interest in
growth and save great deal OF loss If
we but treat this baby with the same
intelligence we do our own babies, viz,
give their milk warm. sweet and often.-

In the matter of the forfeiture of Ger.

of the Commissioner of the General

A BLOCK BURNED.
Possible Fatal Injury 10 Twelve
Persons.

ICEAOhSs
ST. LOUIS, December ia fire broke
out in the extensive establishment OF
Shapleigh & Cantwell's Hardware Com
pany on the corner of Main and Vine
streets, at 2.2O this afternoon. The en-.
tire concern was destroyed. The loss
is very heavy. Several persons were
badly injured in the fire, about twelve
of whom are expected to die. The firm
did a large business in firearms and gun
powder, and had in store quantity of
dynamite. Some of the latter exploded
when the roof and floors fell in. The
fire originated by the falling in of the
fourth floor which was overburdened by
heavy stock. There were seventy. five
employees in the building at the time,
but they are all accounted for excepting
three. They are believed to be unin.
iured, however, for they were employed
on the ground floor and had good
chance to escape.
LATER-Several of the men received
slight injury in the way of bruises and
cuts, bur of those who have reported,
none are seriously hurt. The firm
dealt largely in sporting goods, pistols
and small ammunition, and during the
fire there was an active fusilade by ex-
ploding cartridges. which created some
alarm from the crowd present, but no.
body is known to have been struck by
stray bullets. A report that dynamite
cartridges had also exploded seems to
have been unfounded. The house car.
ried heavy stock, valued at the present
time at $500.000. What part of this, il
any, can be saved is not known, bui
the probabilities are that it is all ruined.
The insurance amounts to $500, 900, and
is distributed among one hundred COM
panies, chiefly in eastern and foreign, in
sums ranging from S25, 200 to $4,000.

SAN Francisco, December ll.--Mgr.
Capel, who is at present in this city,
makes the following statement tonight
regarding certain articles published re-
specting him in the Eastern States and
England: "After two months diligent
investigation, aided by disclosures made
under peremptery orders from repre-
sentative of New York journal, I have
been able to trace the authors of the
slanderous stories circulated concerning
me in the Eastern press. By careful
comparison it has been found that the
reports published in certain papers were
identical aud originated at the same
source. The reporters aid furnished
the discovery. The editor of the Argo.
naut, a newspaper published in this
city and which is rabid hater of the Pope
and the "Pope's, Irish" has persistently
INDUCED in personalities concerning me.
He announced that | mad become
Protestant. AT a subsequent period he
invited those who desired to know my
address to call at the Argonaut office,
and also referred them to tnguished
attorney of Sacramento for my manner
of life. Prufting by this offer of infor-
nation the reporter succeeded in learn
ing that it was the Argonaut which sup
Piled the news published concerning me
in the New York, Chicago aud Philsdel-
phia papers, and that the Sacramento at.
torney furnished additional news con-
cerning me to one New York journal,
and which l, in telegram addressed to
the latter paper, characterized as
"'tissue OF falsehoods, wherein
the journal was made a catspaw to
prosecute an honorable American lady
and to thwart her claims in pending
litigation" 1t now transpires that the
Sacramento attorney is none other than
the opposing counsel in her suit. Honor
and justice to the prosecuted lady, of
irreproachable character, loved and re-
spected by her neighbors and all who
know her, as well as my duty to my
church and myself, oblige me to take
action. simultaneously / shall prose-
cute the authors here in California, and
the publishers of the vile st tements in
the East. l may add that Mr.. Valen-
sin, husband of the lady referred to, re.
iterates most empha,ically that he never
circulated any story rejecting on his
wife and myself.

An Outspoken Priest called to
ROme,

New YORK, December ll.-There is
much excitement in Catholic circles over
the report that DIR. McGlynn has been
summoned to Rome to explain his utter
ances on the land and labor question.
Followers of Henry George look upon
the priest as martyr to their cause,
and declare his superiors are making
great mistake in attempting to punish
him. Authorized representatives OF
Archbishop Corrigan say the summons
was in the form of dispatch, SIMPLY
stating that McGlynn should come to
Rome without delay. Just when he
will start cannot Eow be stated; no date
has been fixed, but of course he will go
within reasonable time.
