PARSONS, KAs., March 29.-The aid
Of $50 spec al policemen and deputy
eheriffs was insufficient to enable the
company to move freight trains. The
strikers crowded about the engines,
regardless of commands to stand back.
While a second attempt was being
made this afternoon one bold striker
seiz I'd the sheriff and endeavored to
drsg him from the engine, and State
Senator Kimball, who was standing on
the cowcatcher, trying to speak, was
hooted down. At this iuncture news
of compromise between Gould and
Powderly arrived, and hostilitief
ceased.

Manager Gray is to be congratulate
ed upon having nearly every seat in
the theater taken last night, when
LOpc and LaW was produced for his
benefit The house was almost filed
in spite of the leaden clouds and mud
dy streets, and the play was heartily
enjoyed. The company is better than
it ever has been, and gave
last night a really delightful
entertainment. The applause was
hearty and well meant, the curtain
being rung up at the close of each act.
All the parts were creditably filed.
Milton Mobiles, as "Felix 0'Paff,"
was excellent, and Dollie Mobiles made
an excellent impression as Rita"
the Italian street-singer. Miss Isabel
Waldran was very good, as Helen
Montague, and Frank Aiken's JAS

Martins Jimmie Nipper' was crude
but passable. Loue and LQW again to-
night.

The Mundinger MuddIe,

The Mundinger receivership-assign
ment case is getting badly mixed.
Mundinger, who owed about $4,000,
consentsdto an attach ment by his own
acknowledgment, under the impression
that as soon as it was paid off the re-
mainder OF the proceeds Of sale could
90 to all his creditors alike. Mr.. S l.
Mcdowell was appointed receiver, and
as soon as the first attachment
OF 1904 was paid he was enjoinsd by
Mundinger from paying anything more
and the latter filed general assign
ment with John Scheibler as assignee.
At this time Mr.. Mcdowell had taken
in $4,000, selling at a small profit, and
had that amount in bank, but the
stock began to run low and he found
he would have to sell below cost or
cltse up. The case came up for hearing
before Special Chancellor Graft, who
declined to interfere with Receiver
Mcdowell. He has yet to decide
whether or not the latter shall act in
the capacity OF an assignee, paying out
all receipts pro rata among the cred
itors, or as a receiver, settling the at
tachments in the order in which they
were levied; also as to whether or not
the receiver may sell below cost
Meanwhile the force OF hands in the
store are idle

THE SOUTHERN CHAUrAUQUA.
Closing Exercises of the Session
kacred Concert.
IsPEoIAL TO TIE APPEAL.


DEFuNIAR SPRINGS, FLA, March 30.
The present session of the Florida
Chautauqua's Assembly closed last
night with addresses by DR.. Fitzgerald
of Nashville, DR.. Hatfield of Chi
cago, DR.. Norton Of Ohio and the SUI
perintendent, DR.. A. II. Gillett. The
Imperial Silver Cornet Band gave a
concert of solemn sacred music in the
great Tabernacle tonight. The work
for the coming session will include a
sanitary congress, a forestry congress OF
Southern States agricultural conven-
ton and a normal kindergarten as
sembly. The singing of an old Span
ish banqueting song, last week, by
Gen. S, Signor Soud and Signor j.
Moreno of Pensacola, created as much
enthusiasm rs did the Mexican bands
music in New Orleans. This weird
Castilian music of old Pensaoola's CO.
lonial days, as sung by these gentle
men, has induced the college of music
TO revive the old Creole songs and
music of the Latin race who colonized
the Gulf States.

The aItnntion nt.AtchIson.

ATCHIsoN, KAs., March 29.-The
strike situation here to-day WAS very
serious. The strikers, not satisfied
with simply killing engines, ditched
trains, stripped engines, tempered
with switches and sosped the track.
The sheriff and a strong posse Of dep
uties manned train at 8 o'clock this
moinirg and ran the gauntlet with 1t,
barely escaping m;'placsd switch,
and sent it safely west. In the after
noon two trains arrived from the
Omaha branch. A switch was thrown
ahead OF the second one and the
rails smeaved with soap, 20 that il was
impossible to stop the train, which
was ditched. The engine YVES then
dismantled. The men were more reck-
less than at any other time during the
strike. They declare that Powderly
has sold them out. The c)mpRuy hes
secured limited number OF men, and
will endeavor to start up the Shoes to-
IN brow. A warrant is out for about
100 strikers. The sheriff has dis
ciplined force OF deputies, and thinks
he can make the srreste.

MILWAUKEE, LAGER BEER,

MILWAUKEE Wis, March 2i.-The disciples
OF the school of total abstinence may perhaps
take some comfort by perusing the following
table of statistics, from which 1t appears that
the aggregate amount of beer sold by the Mil
waukee brewers during the year 1885 shows
considerable falling of as compared with the
sales of the next preceding year.

renowned Phillip Best Brewing COMPANY mas

Leaning Tower at Pisa.

Nothing, says Mr.. John B. Cor
man in his book, "Around the World
in 1884," con be more picturesque
than the seaside route from Genoa to
Rome by way of Pisa. 1t was late at
night before l arrived at the latter
city, famous for its leaning tower,
justly accounted one of the wonders
of the world. It's an old, dead town,
yet once so powerful it defied even
Genoa and Venice for supremacy and
renown. 1t still boasts of great an
tiquity and several wonderful sights.
l assembled the Campanile ar Leaning
Tower. The most remarkable feat
ure about it is its declination from
the perpendicular. 1t is 1870 feet
high, consisting of eight stories, with
projecting galleries. The top over
hangs the base on one side fifteen feet,
but the center of gravity is ten feet
within the base. 1t is bell tower
with chime of ancient bells hanging
in it. My own impression is it was
built in this leaning position. l as
cended to the top by winding stair
case of stone steps, very much worn
in places, from the inside.
Occasionally, 1 would go outside
around the circular galleries. Wher
I walked around on the lower side
the tower appeared to be falling with
me, and l would hurry to the oppo
site side under the silly impression
it was falling with my weight upor
it. 1 enjoyed all my views from thu
upper side.

How to Disap point a Balky Horse.

Fitchburg (Mass.) Sentinel: A
Leominster farmer broke his horse of
a "balky" freak in very quiet and,
as he claims, not a cruel manner.
His horse is in excellent flesh and
shows no signs of neglect on the part
of his master. He drove him, at
tached to rack-wagon, to the wood
lot for a small load of wood. The
animal would not pull a pound. He
did not beat him with a club, but
tied him to tree and "let him
stand" He went to the lot at sunset
and asked HIM to draw, but he would
not straighten tug. 81 made up
my mind" said the farmer, "when
that horse went to the barn he would
take that load of wood. The night
was not cold. went to the barn
got blankets and covered the horse
warm, and he stood until morning
Then he refused to draw. At noon
went down and hewas probably hun
cry and lonesome. He drew tha
load of wood the first time I asked
him. I returned and got another
load before l fed him. l then re
warded him with a good dinner
which he eagerly devoured. / hav,
drawn several loads since. Once HI
refused to draw, but as soon as h,
saw me start for the house he startet
after me with the load. A horse be
comes lonesome and discontenteC
when left alone, as much so as a per
son, and l claim this method, fright
ly used, is far less cruel and is bette
for both horse and man than to bea
the animal with a club"

Nothing New Under the Sun.

one thousand guineas that he would
have a coat made in a single day,
from the first process of shearing the

The wager was decided at Newberry,
England, on the 25th Of June in that
year, by a Mr.. John CoXeter, of
Greenham Mills, near the town. At
5 o'clock that morning, Sir John
Throckmorton presented two South
down sheep to Mr.. Coxeter, and the
sheep were shorn, the wool spun, the

wove, the cloth buried, milled, row.

to Sir John Throckmorton, who ap-
peared with it before more than five

with acclamations at this remarkable
instance of dispatch"

Early Marriages.

One of the strongest arguments
brought to bear against early mar
riages, says writer in the Philadel-
phia Record, is that girl at 20 is
hardly through with herschool books;
and that she has had no time to ac-
quire any domestic knowledge, to say
nothing of the great world of human
nature. Experience which is needed
to tone down the arrogance of youth,
she has not had; and, amiable and
lovely as she may be, she has not
learned the divine art ofsilence. An
other source of domestic dissatisfac-
ton in case of too youthful marriages
is that women rarely advance in lite
rary requirements after they have Ia
ken upon themselves the vows of
wife-hood, whereas men 60 on until
they have passed their prime. The
pretty little wife who was once his
equal, and met with every require
ment of his taste, has fallen sadly in
to the background; and, although
he may continue to cherish her, he
will very likely contrast her with the
women who are up to the times, who
can converse with him and appreciate
him. Possibly the brainy women
would not keep his house so well.
Man is so constituted that, however
well he may like creature comforts,
he wants companion in his wife,
and not merely house-keeper. The
latter can be hired for compensation
in dollars and cents. He wants his
wife to be something above and be-
yond all this.

was looking into the shop windows

After the battle of Gettysburg an
officer in command of an infantry
brigade made wager with a staff
officer of cavalry that more than one
half of the muskets captured would
be found to have one or more charges
still in them. This led to the dis
covery ola very singular fact. AT
the battle $4,000 muskets were taken,
of which over $4,000 were found to be
loaded, Some 10000 contained two
loads, and 5000 from three to ten
loads each. In many instances halt
a dozen balls were driven in on a
single charge of powder, while in not
few instances the former possessor
had reversed the usual order and put
the ball in first.
