Colonel Grsens's Anxiety R.llaTed.

Colonel Greene (the veteranJ Journ-

very forclble in action when the Oc-
casion seemed to require the eXer'
else of force. Ono morning after
the colonel arrived at his office, the
man who always wants to know
"Who wrote that article, sir" put
IN appearance, and was very dem
onstrative. lie slashed around the
editorial office for awhile, and, not
having succeeded In obtaining from
the colonel the information he had
come to seek, he made a show o.
wanting to hght.
Thereupon the robust colone
took his bumptious visitor by the
nspe of the neck, and showing hin
the way to the head Of the stairs
he applied his square.toed boot tC
the rear of the bellicose visitor anc
landed him at the foot Of the Ions
flight of stairs.
"You'll hear from me again, sir,

himself together.

Woman In Politics.

A telegram from Detroit, Octo'
Der 6, says: "After balloting' until
daylight this morning the sixth
district fusion convention nominal
ed John II. Fedewa for Congress
on the forty-fourth ballot. Fedewa
was championed by Miss Matte
Strickland, who carried his name
against great odds, and has finally
healed the breach among the fu-
sionists in the sixth district. Miss
Strickland is assistant prosecuting
attorney of Clinton county, and a
woman of talent and shrewdness.
Fedewa is prosecuting attorney,
and would have been renominated
for that Office had he not been put
up for Congress. lie was only
even in the race when Miss StrIck-
land electrified the convention al
midnight by a mastery summing
up in his favor. lie then drew
away from his opponent, the Rev.
/. G. Deyo, and was nominated just
as the sun began to rise. Fedewa's
nomination leaves Miss Strickland
a clear field for prosecuting attor-
ney, and she will beyond all dOubt
be nominated for that Office and
probably elected. The opposing
factions showered congratulations
on the conquering woman.

lieving that nobody knows how
they spend their evenings and ex-
pecting to take turn for the better

Their present habits are known to
more than they imagine, and nine
out of ten of them are likely to go
from bad to worse until, health
ruined, they rush into the ranks OF
the criminal or pauper classes or fill
untimely graves. How many gener-

the bears are becoming so numer-
Gus and bold that they have taken
to killing horses. Last week, on the
farm of Thomas Foster, Esq, a val
uable mare and colt we're attacked
by two very large bears. The moth
or fought nobly for her offspring
and succeeded in saving it, but was
herself killed. The colt, much
frightened, ran to the house, and
Mr.. Foster, thinking all was not
right, went out to investigate "A
short distance from the house he
found the mare dead and the bearS

Mr.. Foster quickly retraced his
steps to the house, and in few
minutes returned to where no first
discovered the bears, we'll equipped

barreled shotgun in position,
sprung the triggers and both bar
rels were discharged at the same
time. When the mist had rolled
away Mr.. Foster was delighted tc
see the four bears remaining-dead

Fall Elections and The Clerks.
THE DIFFICULTIES OF REPUBLI-
CAN OFFICE. HOLDERS UNDER A
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION.
From Washington Star.

ibH W h'A"if
The fall elections this year pos,
sess more than usual interest to the
employees in the government de.
partments IN this city, especially
those who are republicans and
have retained their places under
the present administration. The
question is not whether they will
90 home to vote, but whether they
will dare to go homo to vote. The
democratic officials disclaim any in
reference on their part with the
free will of the clerks in this re-
spect, but at the same time there
are indirect methods which can be
employed to advantage. It's not
charged by the republican office
holders that any such methods
have been put into operation, DuC
still they feel that the conditions
are not altogether favorable. Little
incidents are quoted as illustrating
the present tendency. For in
stance, a clerk in one Of the bu-
reaus applied for leave of ab'
sence a short time ago, the
time asked for including the
election day in his state. The
chief clerk of the bureau glanced
over the application and then said
in a careless tone.
"By the way, when does the cleo
ton take place in your statep
The clerk told him, and nothing
more was said, but the manner of
the chief clerk made the applicant
for leave feel rather uncomfortable,
and he is now considering whether
he had better remain home until
after the election. A largenumber
of the clerks have placed them
selves in a rather negative position,
by exhausting all their leave, 80
that now if they wish TO go home
to vote they will have to lose their
pay. They can readily urge that
they cannot afford to lose the
money, and IN this way they will
neither cast their vote or place
themselves in a position to be
charged with going back upon
their party, iu the event that the
tide of political success should
turn. Some of the democratic
officials do not hesitate to say that
republicans who are holding office
ought not to 60 home to vote
against the administration, and
there is no doubt but that this feel
ing is very general. The impres
sion seems to prevail in the de
partments tkat the clerks will be
discharged for taking part in the
election. OF course, this will moi
apply to the democratic employees
who, no doubt, will be given to IN
| derstand that their duty requires
their presence in their respective
states on election day.

A Captain to Blame.
AID TO THE VICTIMS OF
THE LA MAsCOTTE DISASTER.

ST. LOUIS, October S.-The
coroner continued Iris inquiry into
the La MascOtte disaster to-day.
Captain Thompson testified that as
soon as he knew the boat was on
fire he searched the upper and
lower decks for his crew and deck
hands, and all but two Of them
had been too severely injured to
render any assistance in extinguish-
ing the fire, or had made their es-
cape. Mr.. Gererru and he assisted
the ladies to the stage and supplied
them with life-preservers. He
then went back to the deck to take
a last look and see if any one was
left on the boat, and saw two COL
ored men horribly burned and
scalded lying on the forecastle, the
flames just about to devOur them.
lie then jumped overheard, swan
ashore, ran down to where the
Eagle had landed, boarded her
and repeatedly called upon her
captain to lower his life.bOat. 81
told him. continued Capt. Thonp-
son, "that if he did not do so |
would report him. lie replied that
he had no crew. / saw at that
time eight or Twelve men on the
deck. lie finally lowered the boat.
Some one was in it, but had only
one oar. 1t came ashore, and was
afterwards taken back to the boat.
When the Eagle landed, there
were passengers from the La Mas
cote in the river, on the stage or
clinging to a line on the bow of the
boat. The Eagle could have gone
close enough and sent the life-boat,
even with one oar, two hundred
feet and taken some of the passen-
gers of, but Captain Through re-
fused to do this. His conduct
throughout was heartless in the
extreme, and he seemed totally in
different to the condition Of the
dying and drowning victims.-
When called on to go to the Cape, he
repeatedly said he wanted to go to
Grand Tower; he also said that he
was running that boat, and that
too many wanted to have a say in
running her. told him that | bad
something to say, and that if it
was money he wanted he could
have that. l tried all bat two or
three of the doors of the state
rooms on his boat, and they were
all locked. From what l saw, the
captain OF the Eagle rendered no
assistance whatever, except TO
bring the dead and dying to Cape
Girardeau."
After the evidence was all taken,
the jury almost Immediately re-
turned a verdict generating the
officers Of the La Mascotte from
all blame, and severely criticised
Captain Through, of the Eagle, for
his treatment Of the burning boat
ashore, and recommended that his
license be revoked.

A CIGrgIlal'S Suicide.

SALISBURY, Oct. S.-PeOple here
are greatly shocked tonight over
the supposed suicide Of Rev. j. w.
Pennell, one of its oldest and most
respected citizens. At six o'clock
as the north bound extra freight
train, drawn by engine No. ., of
the New YORK, Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad, was nearing this
station, Mr.. Pennell was seen
walking towards the train, which
was moving in very slowly. When
about one hundred yards from the
station, he was seen to walk near
the track, and as the last car came
up, he stopped upon his knees and
placed his head on the track, i'm
mediately in front Of the truck at
the rear end of the car. The wheels
passed over his neck, breaking It,
bruising the face and mashing the
right shoulder into a jelly. Brake
man Charles Chatham, who was on
the car which passed over the
body, states that he saw Mr.. Pen.
nell approach the car aud place his
head suddenly under the wheels.
He shouted to him, but he paid no
attention to the warning. a jnry
was summoned at once, and, with
Mr.. Jehu T. Parsons as foreman,
rendered the verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death by being
run oyer by an extra freight train
of the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad, and generating
the railroad from all blame. His
wife, who was in the yard of his
residence at Maple Hill, in sight of
the station, fell on the ground when
she heard the news, and had to be
borne to the house. Rev. Mr.. Pen
nell was a member OF the Maryland
Annual Conference of the Metho-
dist Protestant Church, but has not
been actively engaged for several
years. For some time his mind is
supposed to have been seriously
impaired, which is assigned as the
cause of his death. He was about
seventy eight years old, and leaves
a wife and two children. He was
one of the largest property owners
of the town.
