Rough, Another Man. wife.

Ellis Thomson, wealthy farmer,
living about mile from Ocean Grove
N. Y, had long loved Katie Carson, a
pretty girl of Red Bank, but he could
not win her I'm the usual way. so now
he has bought her from her husband,
and taken possession Of her as his wife,
together with her two children. Six
wears ago Farmer Thomson and Hiram
Satterlee were rivals for the hand OF
fair Katie. Thomson was rich, ugly
and forty. Satterlee was twenty-five,
handsome and poor. Satterlec won the
girl ard married her. They lived. un-
ill week go, in little house along
the railroad near Deal lake. Satterlee
was employed on the New York and
Long Branch Road, but intemperance
has ruined him, and he has given but
scanty employment TO his family.
Lately Thomson saw how poor the lam
ily was, and h0w the woman he loved
was being ill-used by her husband.
His sympathies went out to the inJureu
wife, and he longed to take her to the
house he was building OH his farm, ana
which was so rapidly nearing compile
| ton.
How 10 overcome the insurmounlable
difficulties which seemed 10 present
themselves was the one question III his
mind. At length he had happy lnspi'
ration. He would buy her. When he
broached the subject to Mrs. Satterlee
she received the proposition with fewer
scrupIes than he had expected; she ap-
preciated his solicitudc, and if she could
not return his affection, her gratitude
would 60 long way towards it. The
question now arose as to whether the
husband would make a reasonable BAR
gain. Mr.. Thompson went to the house
and broached the subject. Satterlee
thought at first it was joke, but when
he saw Thompson was in earnest he be-
came serious, and finally offered to sell
his wife and children for 5000. Mr..
Thompson put down the cash at once.
That night Satterlee left for New York,
and the woman and children are now
living with Thompson in comfort and
happiness.

Death of Judge David Davis.

Judge David Davis, after seven weeks
illness, died at his home, in Blooming
ton, ILL.,, at 6 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. Judge Davis's physician says the
immediate cause of his death was cry
sipelas, the outcome of a malignant car
buucle, which first appeared April 80,
but the diabetes, which must have been
insidiously working for two years, was
the primary cause, and to it is attrib-
uted his rapid decline in flesh. For a
week before the end he had been UNI
conscious most of the time. His wife,
his only son, George p. Davis. and wife,
his only daughter, Mrs. Sarah ID.
Swayne and husband, his granddaugh-
ter, Alice 5. Davis, his niece, Mrs.
Fanny Pierpont, his cousin, John NJ.
Walker, and his old friend, Frank d.
Orme, of Washington, were present
when he died.
Judge Davis was judge in the
United States Supreme Court from 1862
to 1877, when he was elected rs an in
dependent Senator from Illinois. His
term expired in 1888. He was mar
ried to Miss Addie f. Burr in 1888.
Judge Davis leaves an estate valued at
81. $50 600.

StunS TO Death.

BENJAMIN Zehner was one OF the most
active and prosperous farmers in Della
ware county, Ind. He owned several
hundred acres of land valued at sol, 600.
He was sixty-fve years of age. His
chief delight was the care of bees, many
colonies OF which he had about his
premises. These he looked upon rs his
pets. Early Thursday morning young
colony of bees came forth. They were
observed by Mr.. Zehner, who calling
his wife, proceeded to place them in a
hive. The bees were cross, but after
some difficulty were soon secured. In
the operation Mr.. Zehner was stung in
several places. Two bees lighted upon
each side of his nose and simultaneously
in fiicted the little wound so familiar to
beekeepers. Mr.. Zehner at once COM
planned of the pain as being unusually
severe and Different in effect from any
he had ever before experienced from
the same cause. lie pecaiho ue"'"iy
pale. His breathing was labored and
difficult. His aged wife, the only per-
son about the premises, fastened to the
house to bring camphor, hoping its APP
plication might give relief to her suffer
ing husband. He sat down in the shade
of an apple tree to await her return.
Her absence was of but short duration,
but when she came she found him dead.
He had apparently died in great agony.
Medical aid was summoned, but too
late. 1t is the opinion ofthe physicians
that the bee-stings caused paralysis of
the heart, resulting in his death.

Frighifui Experience.

On Sunday last, near SCOTS Mills,
on the Maryland side of the river, oppo-
site this place, Misses Clara and Cora
Miers, who lives on that side of the
river, while on their way home from
Keyser, were attacked by mad dog
belonging TO Rev. Roland Dayton. The
young ladies, when finding themselves
closely pursued by the dog, took refuge
in All apple tree close By where they
were held for three-quarters of an hour
and were rescued by their father, Geo.
w. Miers, Jacob Moomaw and others.
After lively chase through wheat
field the dog was killed by Mr.. Miers.
The young ladies' were considerably
frightened, and were greatly relieved
OH the appearance of their rescuers.
We are informed that the dog has bitten
several persons within the last year,
and was very vicious brute.-Keyser

MIR. RandalI.s Tariff Bill.

MIR. Randall introduced his tariff bill
i'm the House on Wednesday. He does
not claim that the bill is complete or
perfect measure of tariff revision, but
holds that it is a decided step in the
right direction and Il sufficient iudica-
ton of the policy that should be pursued
in remodeling the tariff and revenue
laws. The changes in the rates pro-
posed are to go into effect on the lst OF
January, 1887. The additions to the
present free list are squared timber,
boards and lumber in the rough, hubs
for wheels, slaves and wood Of all kinds
in the rough, jute butts and bristles
The present law admitting live animals
imported for breeding purposes free OF
duty is repealed.
The bill repeats all forms of internal
revenue taxation upon tobacco OF every
description, and all laws restricting its
sale and disposition by farmers and pro-
ducers after October hext. 1t allows
a drawback or rebate of the full amount
of taxes paid OH tobacco of every descrip-
ton held by manufacturers or dealers
at the time the repeal goes into effect.
1t also permits from and after the pas
sage of the act the manufacture and
sale of fruit brandies and wines free of
internal revenue taxes.
The bill was referred to the Committee
OH Ways and Means, where 1t will be
allowed TO die.

An Enormous Blast.

Probably the largest blast of rock ever
made in this State was one made on the
extension of the Ohio River Road oppo-
site Little Hooking last week. The line
of the blast was l20 feet in length. 1t
was all solid rock, eight feet wide and
twenty-one feet deep. TO make the
blast "a kegs of giant powder was used.
The explosion was terrific and the re-
suit was unpleasantly dangerous for
those across the river. 1t seemed rs
though the entire hillside was lifted up
bodily and thrown into and across the
RIVER. An eye witness says that large
rocks weighing over 100 pounds were
thrown across into Little Hooking. All
the windows in the church and many
In the private residences were broken.
One lady was thrown to the ground by
the conclusion and every one in the vi
cinity was greatly shocked. 1t was a
new and unpleasant experience for the
people down the river.

An Opinion on Boycoiiins.

At Mil~aukee, Friday, Judge Sloan
delivered an opinion on the motion to
quash the Indictment of Robert Schildng
State organizer of the Knights OF Labor,
who is on trial OH the charge of conspi-
racy and making threats in connection
with boycott.. Judge Sloan ruled that
since Schildng threatened to put the
vast machinery of the Knights of Labor
in operation to prevent the public from
patronizing the firm boycotted, lie injur-
ed the firms income, which was rs much
property as machinery or buildings, and
that to attempt to dictate to them against
their Will whom to employ or discharge
was parallel offense. All organizations
of the kind seeking to interfere with the
business of manufactures or others are
not i'm accordance with law. Said the
Judge: "Laborers or capitalists may
organize for their own protection, but
have no right to take the aggressive.
In our social and industrial life and our
government, the socialist and the boy
colt have no place."

DIED..
A Wise Reform .

The habit OF administering quinine in pow
erful doses, as an antidote to malarial-naia-
dies. was once dangerously common. hap
PLY this practice has undergone wide re-
form. Not only the public, but professional
men have adopted, not wholly, OF course but
largely, Hostetters stomach Bitters as a safe
botanic substitute for the pernicious aka
loid. The consequences OF this change are
most important. Now fever and asue suner-
ers are cured-formerly their complaints were
only for the time relieved, or half cured-the
remedy eventually falling to produce any ap-
nreciable effect. except the doses were in
creased. A course OF the Bltters, persistently
followed, breaks up the worst attacks ana
prevents their return. The evidence iniaVor
OF this sterling specific and househ old medi-
cine is Of no ambiguous character, but POSI-
tive and satisfactory, and the sources whence
II proceeds are very numerous.

the object of which was to prevent the
Postmaster General from dismissing one

The plan did not work well, for, COM
ing to the ears of Mr.. Villas, he promptly
dismissed twenty-nine Of the ringlead-
ers. That wound up the conspiracy
suddenly.

WHEAT continues low in price, bu t
when the farmers consider that every
thing they have to buy is also very cheap
they must allow that they are not with
out something to be thankful for. Gro
ceries, dry goods, implements and sup
plies generally are down in about the
same proportion as wheat. And then,
too, the big crop this year is surely some
thing for which we can be thankful. anC

hope for better prices.
