Tcrrors Of the Boycott.

The Knights of Labor have the upper
hand at Fort Worth, Tex. The board
ing houses and hotels which accommodate
men who take the places of strikers are
being bovcotted, Even the butchers re-
fuse to sell them meat. Ali this is true,
yet the sentiment of the people is
against the strikers, but business men
are afraid of the boycott. John Taggart,
boarding house keeper, was boycotted
on Thursday. The waterman from
whom he has been purchasing his sup
ply of drinking water refused to sell to
him, and he has to 60 two miles to Sc
cure water. His landlord, one of the
richest citizens of Fort Worth, has
ordered him to yacate his house. On
the same day poison was thrown into
Taggart's water barrel, and one married
woman and two little girls were poison
ed and now lie Ill critical condition.
The case cited above is the worst yet
reported, but there are others nearly as
disgraceful. The people are afraid to
call their souls their own.

A Horrible Tale.

Cora Green, pretty fourteen year
old girl, escaped Monday night, at
Greenville: Ohio, from John McVey, a
rowing gypsy, and 0his two female com"
panions, who kidnapped her two years
AGO on her way home from school near
Lebanon, Indiana. The girls story is
a terrible one. She says she was kept
a prisoner in McVey's wagon, and
travelled all over OHIO and Indiana. He
shot her in the head, kicked her, cut
her on the body with hatchet, beat
her with club, flogged her with buggy
whip and assaulted her. He also drove
a nail through her fool, fastening her to
board, and swung her up to the wagon
bows. Marks of the girls wounds are
still plainly visable. Replies to teie'
grams confirm the statement as to the
place where she lived, her name and
parents, now at Jamestown, Indiana;
McVey fled as soon as he found the girl
had escaped him and his two compan-
ions. The girls parents have been
tclegraphed to come: and officers are
after the guilty outlaw. The people are
much excited, and lynching is talked OF
every where,

CHICAGO March 90, Efforts are being
made to continue the revival IN Chicago
by Sam Jones and Sam Small two weeks
longer than originally intended. The
idea is to have the services held in the
Exposition building, the scene ofseyeral
national conventions. Should suffi-
cient sum be pledged to defray expenses,
the interior of the building on the Lake
front will be converted into temple Of
worship. Mr.. Jones, it is said on good
authority, has cancelled his Springfield,
Ill.,, engagement and has, at the earnest
solicitation Of the ministers of this city,
consented to remain here for 4 much
longer period than had been anticipated.

An Anderson Tale.
Chronicle

Mr.. James Harrison, while engaged
in getting out slaves on the steele place
in Pendleton township last Monday,
found a small lock of brown human hair
in the middle of a large white oak tree.
A hole had been bored in the tree, the
hair inserted and the hole stopped. The
tree had grown around the hole to the
extent of ninety-seven circles, showing
that the hair had been placed there
about the year 1889. 1t is supposed to
have been the act of some superstitlous
person, who hoped thereby to ward off
wltchcraft or something of that kind,
such practices in olden times being tra-
ditional. Mr.. Harrison preserves the
hair as curiosity.-Anderson Journal.

The blood OF Innocent Mon,

ASHLAND, KY, March TO- A hor-
rible murder on Christmas eve, 1881,
when three children were murdered here
which resulted in a lynchiug, is recalled
again by development about to be made,
which will demonstrate that Neal, Craft
AMI Ellis were innocent of the crime for
which they suffered. For some time
several gentlemen have been employing
detectives to sift every clew. Their work
has been crowned with success, andlt is
claimed the arrest of the real criminals
will soon follow. The evidence is said
to be conclusive, and will show that the
triple murder were committed early IN
the evening; that the perpetrators went
to the house by appointment with one OF
the girls, who had been on intimate
terms with one of them, and that the
triple murder followed the unintentional
killing CT the boy, for Resisting the as.
saults on the girls. The arrest would
have been made before, but for the excl
ted state of public feeling here on the
subject. The suspected parties hold
very respectable places.

walked up to showcase on the coun-

was standing behind the showcase i'm
mediately opposite Pinion. The two
began conversing. and Hickey opened
the showcase and picked up a pistol
that was lying inside. Without taking
the pistol from the showcase he cooked
it and pulled the trigger. There was a
loud report and a heavy fall. AS soon
as the smoke cleared away the boy saw

these words: t'I'il die" Help was
summond, and the wounded man was
carried to his home, which IS about a
square from DR.. Johnson's store. In
ten minutes after the shooting he was
dead. His wife was crazed with grief
when she learned her husband had been

purely accidental. DR.. johnson said
to a reporter that the pistol, which was
a Remington, had been lying in his
showcase unloaded; that last night he

any means imply that only farmers
ought to hold Office or that other classes
are to be excluded altogether or impos-

imagine such thing and onlyga narrow

The assumption that this movement has
any such object lis entirely gratuitous
and only emanates from those who seek
to bamboozle farmers and obscure the

which I deem highly important to our

composed of puppets to be s'bossed" BY

disproven when it assemblies.
It viii be no joint summer meeting OF

these two, familiar features, perhaps
Col. Lipscomby does well to turn his
back on us. 'Tis a pity, but ! suppose
we common people must preforee do

State see that good and true men, not
politicians or Office seekers, are sent to
this convention and it will mark an

If any county can find a better man who

Then q conference was being held TO
decide on the appointment OF the Rev.

when it was discovered that the whole
of the front of the church was on fire,
and the widest confusion prevailed; a
great many jumped from the windows,
but the greater mass Of the people pass
ed through the burning door with the
ashes dropping on them, but fortunately
no one was seriously hurt. ltorlglnatcd
possibly from q careless cigar lald on
the wood work outside. 1t is a terrible

in to put these fires out with but slight

A j slcKENlNe SPECTACLE.
A Shin -Kioking Contest That Was Fun for
the Crowd, but Death to VIII and Jack.

A shin-E kicking Contest That Was Fun for
the Crowd, but Death to VIII and Jack.
a shin.kicking contest, orasit tknown
i'm sporting gernacnlar, q sspurringn con-
test, was held i'm a barn in the rear of a
saloon III East Orange, N. j., last Mon
day night. The men were Jack Faw-
cett and VIII Wilson, and they contested
for sl0O. They wore canvas jackets,
knee breeches, no stockings shoes with
wooden soles, the tips of the toes being
Of iron. After the referee had informed
the men that any kick aboye yethe lnaa
would be considered a foul, each man
grasped his competitors coat collar, and
the sickening sport began.
That it was not sickening to the forty
persons collected IN the barn was eviden-
ced when, after some minutes of plung!
ing and parrying, Fawcett landed his
left toe on Wilson's leg laying open the
flesh to the bone. This elected a round
of applause from the spectators, which
was renewed when shortly afterwards,
Wilson retaliated upon his antagonists
shin. The sport then continued without
interruption, each thud Of the iron-toed
shoe upon the quivoring flesh being
followed by applause. So it went on
for ten minutes, when Wilson began to
show signs of weakening. His kicks
became less vicious and he was unable
to successfully parry Fawcett's blows.
Five minutes later he fell powerless to
the floor and Fawcett stumbled over
him. The later arose, however, and as
Wilson did not respond to the call of the
referee, Fawcett was declared the win
ner.
