BoycOtters Sentenced.

The convicted boycotters of Thiess,
the proprietor Of a concert garden, were
arraigned in court in New York last
Friday for sentence. Judge Barrett
made some strong remarks to them
on the lawlessness Of the crime OF
which they were convicted. He said
that this was q violation Of peace to a
country that welcomed foreign born
citizens, to a country that offered free
dom and the privilege of right. They
had violated public rights and opinions,
and their offense WAS not short Of black
mail. The distribution of circulars
before places of business was conspiracy
aud punishable as such. Their conduct,
il unpublished, would lead to savagery.
They may have been mislei by bad adj
vice, but their counsel should have re-
buked them. They did not use the
money for own advantage, and this pal
lated their offense. We are told that it
had been the custom to rob in that
manner. He would not impose the full
penalty of the law as they were work
ingmen.
The Judge then sentenced Paul
Wiltzig and Henry Holdrof to two years
and ten months at hard labor; Michael
Stron and Julius Rosenberg, to one year
and six months imprisonment. Daniel
Danenhauser, the most violent of any
of the boycotters, got three years and
eight months in State prison.

struck by a Falling Star,

As gentleman, q well-Snown public
official, was passing from st. James
Park into Pail Mall by the garden wall
Of Marlborough House, on Saturday
last, at 40 in the afternoon, he sud-
nenty received on the right shoulder, q
violent blow, accompanied by loud
cracking noise, which caused him great
pain and to stumble forward IS he
walked. On recovering his foothold,
and turning round to see who had so
uncersmoniously struck him, he found
that there was no one on the pavement
but himself and the policeman OH duty
at the park end Of 1t. On reaching
home the shoulder was submitted to eX-
animation, but nothing was at first dis
covered to account for the pain in it.
But in little while the servant who
had taken away the coat to brush
brought it back to point out that over
the right shoulder the nap was pressed
down nat in long, straight line, e1-
actly as II q hot wire had been sharply
drawn across the cloth. The accident is
therefore explained as having been
caused by the explosion of q minute
falling star or meteor. 1t is an unprs-
cedented and most interesting occur.

A Ludicrous Mistake.

The Deaf Mute and Blind Institution
of West Virginia ut Romuey closed its
session last week, and is scholars were
shipped to their homes for vacation
Many of them live in the southern part
of West Virginia and have 20 come
around by the B. & o. road AMI take
the c. & o. road at Staunton to reach
there. Monday afternoon the Valley
Railroad Agent here received dispatch
from Winchester saying that car load
of blind mules would be In Stsunton
Monday afternoon, and to tell the c. &
o. agent to hold the Chesapeake and
Ohio train for them. Agent Summerson
of the c. & o. was informed and much
puzzled at the same time. A car load
Of blind mules to be attached to q pas
senger train was something the c. 6 O..
had never hauled before. After consul
ta.ion II was decided to ask Winchester
station to repeat the message, and 1t
was repeated "blind and mutes;" and
shortly after, the special car filled with
blind and mute pupils rolled into the
Stsunton depot in time for the trip west.

A Wise Reform.

The habit of administering quinine in pow
erful doses, as an antidote to malarial maia-
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, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as safe
botanic substitute for the pernicious aka
loid. The consequences OF this change are
most important. Now fever and ague suner-
ers are cured-formerly their complaints "efe
only for the time relieved, or nan ureu-'l'
remedy eventually failing to produce any ap-
precisble effect, except the doses were IN
creased. A course OF the Bitters, persistently
followed, breaks up the worst attacks and
preyents their return. The evidence in favor
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.

This II the Result.

Two years ago Albert Elliott married
Miss Nellie, the beautiful daughter Of
United States Senator Pugh, without
the consent of the lady's parents.
Elliott disappeared with his bride, since
which time the Senator has heard moth
ing of his daughters whereabouts. A
despatch received at Montgomery, Ala,
from Omaha reveals y terrible story of
suffering. The couple, it seems, went to
Omaha and resided there some months,
and then moved to Council Bluffs, La.
During all the time they lived at Omaha
and Council Bluffs, the wife was treated
bruta.ly and well nigh starved to death.
Her husband, by forced confinement,
prevented her from communicating
with her father.
A few days ago the wife by accident
obtained an audience with State Senator
Geo. Wright Of Council Bluffs, to whom
she told her story and applied for assist
ance. Senator Wright at once tele-
graphed to Senator Pugh, who all this
time had been unable to find any trace
of the whereabouts of his daughter.
The result was that on Wednesday
young Pugh, the wife's brother, arrived
In Council Bluffs, and obtained admit
lance to the house OF his sister. With a
drawn revolver he advanced for the
husband, threatening to kill him. The
husband escaped out of the back door,
going to Omaha. Young Pugh is on
his way home, accompanied by his Sis
ter aud her little child.

A Ysuahf1I Millionaire.

Probably the young lady who attracts
the most attention at the Beach House,
Sea Girt, n. j., is Mary Sharpsteen, a
maid Of 5 years. who has fortune Of
81 ,OOO, 900 in her own right. Her father,
who was the Paris partner Of Arnold,
Constable & Co., New York, died ia the
French capital few years ago, leaving
his entire fortune to Miss May, who
was his only child. In the i've brief
years Of her life she has already crossed
the Atlantic ocean seven times, and
made several visits to the German and
French spas, the fashionable resorts of
Spain and Italy, and the mountain
peaks Of switzerland. She is y bright
and attractive little miss, and her ex-
tended travels hsve advanced her be-
yond her years and given y touch of
quaintness to her manners.

Robert Robinson. the l6-year old son
of Col. John Robinson, has just died at
Wadesboro, N. c., of hydrophobia. In
August last a strange dog came to his
house aud attacked one of the yard dogs.
Robert went to the rescue Of his dog,
and was bitten on the arm by the
strange dog, which then ran of. 1t at
tackled several other dogs while running
away, but was finally killed. Roberts
family feared the results of the bite, as
all the evidence indicated that the dog
was mad, but 30 long time elapsed
without evil consequences that their
fears entirely ceased.
On Tuesday last the young man WAS
stung by bee en- the arm bitten by the
dog. Robert suffered great pain. On
Saturday morning while engaged in
conversation with his mother, she OBJ
served that Robert had fallen into q
strange mood, laughing frequently out
right and immOderately without appar.
ent cause. He admitted there was moth
ing to laugh at, but that he could not
help it, His father being informed of
his peculiar condition and at the same
time discovering unusual nervousness
in the patient, suggested taking him to
q physician. but proposed first to give
Robert milk toddy to quiet his nerves.
The sight of the liquid threw the young
man into violent cOnvul sions, which
continued until several of the physi-
clans of Wadesboro and vicinity arrived.
The most powerful opiates were admin
istered, and even the profuse application
of chloroform failed to keep him quiet
long at q time. He foamed at the mouth,
crashing his teeth in the effort to bite
the attendants about the bedside. In his
lucid intervals, although brief, the poor
victim gave every evidence Of intelli-
gence. talking with those around him Of
his awful coalition, and realizing that
he must die, he expressed q resignation
to Gods will, and prayed that all others
might be spared the fate that he'd be-
fallen him.

A terrible accident occurred on Friday
last at the works of che Atlantic dyns-
mite Company at Kensil, N. J. The
mixing building. which contained $500
pounds of fiitro-glycerine, was blown
to pieces by al explosion from some
unknown cause, and the ten men who
were I'm Il were scattered to the four
corners of the earth. A few minutes
after Z o'clock most terrific explosion
was heard for miles around. lmmedi'
ately following came a jar and shock
which were felt through all the neigh
boring country. People were thrown
down, pictures hurled from walls anG
an enormous amount of window glass
and glassware broken. In an instant
people realized that one of the powder
houses had blown up and as nearly
every family in the place had some
member engaged in the mills the great
est commotion ensued.' People who ran
out Immediately and looked in the direc-
ton of the Atlantic mixing house
beheld a terrible and ver-to-be-for-
gotten sight. The air to the height
of two hundred feet seemed filled with .
solid mass OF smoke, flame and debris
Scarcely anything could BIZ distin-
guished, but some enormous timbers
could De recognized on the very apex OF
the mass, seemingly tossed about rs II
mere twigs. In an instant the debris
began to fall and in a moment nothing
remained In the air but an impenetrable
mass of smoke. In few minutes u
number Of persons were on the spot.
Early explorations discovered no signs
of any bodies and only unrecognizaole
fragments of the flesh and linbs of the
ten men who were in the house at the
time of the explosion have been found.
The cellar which WAS under the build
ing is now level with the ground with
debris and for hundreds of yards the
ground is thickly strewn with pieces
of timber curiously cut, gnarled and
broken, pieces Of garments and small
bits of scorched and raw flesh. The
only large fragments so far found are
the trunk of man which was lodged
in All adjacent tree.top and por'
ton of a skull. All other fragments
found are very small, pieces Of hands
and feet being the most common.

A Relic Of Antietam

General Hector Tyndale Post, NO.
I6O, of Philadelphia, has recently been
presented with a small brass cannon,
which is apparently toy. but 1t has a
historical interest. 1t was used at the
battle of Antietam, September IL, 1867,
with deadly. effect. 1t was drawn from
Sharpsburg while the battle was in pro-
gress by boy sixteen years Of age, who
lived In the vicinity, and who, like old
John Burns at Gettysburg ayear later,
went into the conflict upon his own
personal responsibility. He took po-
sition OH an elevation, and with his
little cannon faced the enemy and
poured load after load of deadly missiles
from the muzzle of his miniature cannon
into the ranks of the COnfederates. The
young hero fought for hours in the
ranks of the Union army. Among the
hundred thousand men with whom he
fought there was not one with whom he
had any personal acquaintance. While
thus engaged he was shot, it is believed,
by rebel sharpshooter. When found,
he was lying upon his face, with his
body across the little gun. After his
death the cannon was kept until recently
when it was sold for old brass and
brought to Philadelphis with other
metals. A comrade Of the Tyndale
Post, who is an extensive metal broker,
learned the history of the little piece OF
artillery, then dirty and corroded, and
presented il to the society. 1t has been
cleaned and frightened up, and looks
like new. 1t is about three feet III
length, and has bore of less than two
inches.

Mrs. CIevelaEd's Rooms.

If YOU should take the Presidents
house and run a line through it from
north to south, at the end of the library,
YOU would cut off Mrs. Cleveland's
part of the mansion from that OF the
Presidents. She has five bedrooms,
and they are all large and airy. Just
of from the library there is coy room
which used to be known as the girls
room, and 1t was in this that Nellie
Grant lived, and Nellie Arthur occupied
it during the last presidential term.
The Presidents bridal chamber is the
state bedroom, and it looks different
now to what it did when Mrs. Cleve-
land first came to il. There are more
home touches, and the dressing table
always has its flowers. When Presi-
dent Arthur was here he had his wife's
picture, which hung on one side of these
walls, wreathed with roses every morn.
ing. Now the roses are everywhere
about the room, and the gardener has
done his best To make it look beautiful.
There is Il wide lounge, or Civan, at one
side of the room, and the bed is of rose
wood, with great canopy of silk bro
cade in gold and silver above it. A
rich Turkish carpet covers the floor, and
there area number Of easy chairs scat
tered about the room. Great chunks of
wood lie upon the highly polished brass
andirOns, and the mantel is covered
with heavy velvet cloth of a soft. dark
red. There is Il tidy on one of the arm
chairs bearing the inscription in red,
white and blue silk: God bless our
country and our President. 1t was in
this room that the Prince of Wales
slept when he visited this country, and
if Victoria dies soon enough the bridal
chamber of President Cleveland will
have been the only guest chamber in
the United States that has slept a king.

Shot Dead In Church.

Some weeks ago James A. Steely, OF
Midway, Barnwell county, S. c., circu
lated very damaging reports about Miss
Emma Connolly, young lady twenty
years Of age, who lives near Midway
On account OF these reports Stesly was
shortly afterwsrd cowhided by W. F.
Connolly, brother of the young lady,
and A. L. OFT, a friend. TO justify
himself in making these reports, Steely
published . card In the Charleston Nsps
and Courier explaining his position, and
saying that he was cowhided by these
two men. who held pistols to his head
and threatened to kill him if any resist.

In his card his former statements about
Miss Connelly's character.
On Sunday afternoon, while services
were being held in the Hunter Chapel
Church, near Midway, Miss Connolly
entered and walked up the aisle to
Steely's pew. She had her arms folded
and held 32-caliber pistol in her right
hand. Turning into the pew immedi.

placing the weapon near his back, fired
Steely sprang up and attempted to draw
his pistol. Miss Connolly tried to shoot
second time, but her pistol missed
fire. Steely rushed to the church door
and fell dead at the entrance.
At the time Of the shooting the church
was crowded with ladies and children.
Miss Connolly has been arrested, but

hood, and will probably not be punish.
