A Sensation in Frederick.

A great deal of excitement was Gre
ated in Frederick, Nd, on Tuesday last
by the shooting Of Mrs. Maggie Cronin
by her husband, Daniel Cronin. The
excitement was afterwards greatly in
tensitied by the circumstances attending
the srrest of Cronin. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cronin were married during the late
war, and after living together for some
time, the husband left his wife and was
absent from her for Il period of fifteen
or twenty years. About one year ago
he returned and induced her TO live
with him again. Recently some diff
Guilty arose between them, which found
its climax when Mrs. Cronin told her
husband that he had better pack up and
again take his departure. She had
hardly uttered the words before he
drew one Of the two revolvers he had in
his pockets and fired ut her, the ball
striking her right temple and blowing
across the side of her head, intlicting u
painful, if not dangerous, wound. Mrs.
Cronin ran screaming out Of the build
ing, crossed the street, and entered the
house of ncighbor. Surgical aid was
summoned. An attempt was maGe to
arrest Cronin, but he deiied the officers
and the crowd, and for two hours held
them at bay. He finally surrendered
and was placed in Jail.

Death 10 the Sparrows.

DR.. C. II. Merriam, the head of the
division Of economic ORTHODOXY Of the
Department of Agriculture, has filed
strong Indictment against that abomina-
BILE little pest, the English sparrow,
which he pronounces vastly greater
scourge than the caterpillsrs and
worms it was expected to destroy. Its
present rate of increase is enormous,
and the new territory which it invades
estimated at more than $50. 600 square
miles annually. 1t is essentially town
bird, but it takes long vacations during
the fruit growing seasons and wreaks
its fastidious appetite upon The largest
and juiciest Of grapes and The daintiest
of tree fruits, in which work of destruc-
ton its aggregate Of damages is almost
incompatible. The Doctor favors its
exterminatiOn, but how that ''consum-
nation" is to be cOnsummated, he SAYS is
an pnsolyed problem.

Millions Of Wild Pigeons.

The greatest wild pigeon roost in the
United States is now located near
Tahlequah, in the Indian Territory. q
man just from there says the trees COW
ering mile square of timbered land are
filled at nights with countless numbers
of birds. Millions Of pigeons are there,
he says, and at night when they come
in to roost they make noise like mighty
thunder. Birdmen say there only two
droveS of wild pigeons now in North
America. This is the larger one. A
great many people are en- camped around
the roost engaged in trapping, netting,
and killing them for shipment, which
they are doing by the thousands. New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis,
and other places in the States of less
note, are represented at this roost. For
dead ones the slayers get an average Of
50 per 100; for live ones the meters get
81 to ssa hundred, as great many Of
these are used in the East and ordered
for shooting matches by sporting clubs.
The nets are placed at some point where
a bunch water, and sometimes as many
as forty dozen are caught in one fly of
the net, This makes several years in
succession these birds have come to this
place to roost, after nesting and sum-
mering away up among the lakes of
Minnesota and adjoining country. A
great many Indians are making from 81
to 81 day in the pigeon business, while
the spectators and shippers from the
cities are making from 500 to $25 daily
when they have anything like luck.

A man named John II. Jones, who
was generally supposed to be tramp,
and who dressed like one, appeared at
Ishpenning, Mich, two months ago,
and, after working for while about
different mines, offered twenty-five
cents ton for pile of refuse rock at
the Winthorpe Hematic Company's
mines, the money to paid as tie rock
was removed. Jones said lie thought
he could make a little something off the
rock. The company was surprised one
day when Jones set force OF men at
work sorting the rock and carting of
the ore. Jones also bought other piles
OF rock at the same figures. 1t now
transpires that the rock pans out one
half good ore, for which Jones receives
81. 80 ton. The Winthorpe pile alone
contained five hundred thousand tons
ofrock, and Melted Jones oyer 81 600, 600.
Other piles have Melted him about
81, 000, 900. The work has been conduct
ed under the very eyes of the mill own
ers, who have regarded the rock piles
as worthless and paid no attention to
Jones. Within few days the fact has
leaked out that the Jones ore has been
shipped largely to Joliet, Ill. The news
came back from that point, and has
created great sensation. Jones appear
ed in his own carriage on Saturday, and
is treated as leading citizen. He can
buy TO more rock piles for twenty-five
cents a ton. The owners are going
about in large numbers sampllng the
heaps of refuse which dot the mining
fields.

Iee.ul,. Of democratic Success.

Honesty has made long stride to tue
front since President Cleveland has
had direction OF national affairs. The
polls no longer need protection as they
did under Republican Presidents. lie
doesn't require millions Of money to pay
deputy marshals; it did two years ago,
under Arthur. Then there was not a
Congressional district in the United
States where thugs and scoundrels, with
marshals badges, and armed with pistol
and bludgeon, could influence the re-
suit, that they were not mustered by
battallions anG turned loose upon the
community. This year, under n Demo-
cratic President, there will not be dep
uty marshal at the polls in the United
States. Two years ago there were
O,OOO of them paid out of the United
States treasury to work for the RePub-
lican ticket. The Republican admins
lrations could not trust the people TO
vote. The Democratic administration
can, and does. No one wants deputy
marshals any more, if we except East
st. Louis, where somebody asked for
them and they were denied. But why
is it that the Republican leaders are not
clamoring for them this year, as they
did formerly? Is it because they be-
lieve that the elections this year Tor
Congressman are going TO be honestnnd
fair? They certainly do. And Is not
this conclusive proof that honest cleo
tons and u Democratic administration
came together? AS long AS the Repuoll-
cans controlled the national administra-
ton it required millions of dollars 10
paw United States supervisors of cleo
ton and deputy marshals to prevent
fraud and rascality. BY the time the
Democratic administration is twenty
months old the reformation is so great
that not supervisor or marshal is nee
essary i'm the United States. The Amer
isan people were wise when they
changed the administration Cincinnati
