Our village has been excited over a lawsuit
of Mr.. NJ. Guthrie against Mrs. Thompson.
1t appears that Mr.. Guthrie bargained for
some hogs with a minor son of Mrs. Thomp-
son and paid him one dollar to bind tho bar
gain. Mrs, Thompson subsequently found
she could sell the hogs at a better price to
another party and sent in the money to be re-
turned to Mr.. Guthrie, but he would not re-
ceive it, claiming that he bought the hogs and
was damaged because they were not delivered.
Mr.. Guthrie sued Mrs. Thompson for $l4.95
and after jury trial Of two days there was
a disagreement. Mrs. Thompson employed
]. NJ. Burlingame,, attorney at law OF Owa-
tonna, to defend her case. Some $38 costs
have been made and the matter Is still un-
settled.

VIRGINIA POLITICIANS.
R~iddieberger Says Malone Has the WI

Riddieberger Says ahone Has the Whip
Hand of the Situation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Senator Rid
dleberger contradicts the statement that
he is to run for congress in the Seventh
Virginia district, now. represented by
Charles T. O'Ferrall, a Democrat. He
says the district has been gerrymandered
so that no Republican can carry it. In
explanation of John s.. Wise's withdrawal
from the contest in Virginia and his sub.
sequent announcement that he would
shortly remove to New York for the
practice of law, Senator RiddlebergeT
says it is not the result of any overtures
made by ex-senator Malone.
Senator Malone made no overtures
to John 8. Wise, "said Mr.. Riddleberger:
che would prefer to have Mr.. Wise's
electors remain in the field, for that
would demonstrate to the entire country
that Mr.. Wise had no following, but Mr..
Wise directly withdrew. / do not wish
to criticise him, although he has bitterly
assaulted me. He Is a generous man of
quick temper and sudden impulses, but
he never knows to-day what he can do or
where lie will stand tomorrow; he is too
ciangeabie. He may be back in Vir
ginia in a month from the time he locates
in New York. Senator Malone now has
the whip hand of the situation, and the
district conventions to be held shortly
will indorse the Malone electors, or Sc
iect new ones who recognize his au-

apart, had worked to achieve the Same
ends, while the friends and enemies of
n had been the friends and
enemies of both. The impression
had therefore naturally arisen that
there might be completely or connection
between them. The Times had pub
lished that opinion and supported it with
an array of evidence apparently in justi-
f~ication of its action. This had excited
q scandal in the house OF commons
which presented as a breach of privilege
that body had refused to consider.
The persons accused had refused to clear
themselves, though they had proposed to
refer the questions involved to a COM
mittee of the house of commons, which
proposal the government and the house
had d%isapproved. The O'Donnell trial
had changed the scandal from a news
paper basis into a statement by
responsible counsel in the court of just
ice. Still, the accused persons had re-
fused to resort to legal redress, and had
demanded the inquiry of a committee.
The government, considering the house
of commons incapable of furnishing az
impartial tribunal, had decided to in
stitute an inquiry by u commission, a
method which had been successful in O
previous case. The u had nominated
three of the ablest and most impartial of
judges as constituting the commission,
and he was confident that strict justice
would be done, though men who ought
to have known better had impugned the
Partially of the judges. This had not,
however, left a stain upon those dis
tinguished men, but had covered with
dishonor the man who had impugned
them. The government had done good
service in driving from the arena ofpolit-
ical discussion this foul and scandalous
controversy.

Belle Hamlin Defeated by Clingstone
After Winning the First Heat.
BUFFALO, Aug, II The grand special
race between Belle Hamlia and Cling
stone drew a crowd Of IL, 900 people to
the driving park. The race was sand
WICKED in between the heats of the trot-
ting and pacing races, and was very ex-
citing. In the first heat the horses got
the word with Belle a nose in front. At
the quarter she had a half length lead,
which was increased to q length at the
half. Coming round to the three-quar-
ters Clingstone went in the air and she
got four lengths the advantage. Down
the stretch Clingstone got his feet. again
and came like a thunderbolt, but was too
far back to catch the mare, who rushed
under the wire a winner by a length.
Time. 2:17&.
Second Heat-Clingstone had a head
advantage on the start and soon opened a
gap of three lengths at the quarter.
Belle closed this to one and one-half at the
three-quarters, and it was q great race
down the stretch. Clingstone, however,
was too speedy for the mare, and won by
half a length. Time, 2i18&.
Third Heat-The horses got word head
and head, and in this position passed the
quarter. Belle then forged ahead half a
length and drew away to q full length at
the three-quarter post, but down the
stretch Clingstone proved himself the
great finisher that he is, and passing the
mare at the distance pole won by q
length. Time, 2:17L

THE E CROSS.
Miss Clara Barton's Report of the Interna
tionaI Meeting.

Miss Clara Barton's Repors of the Interna-
tiona1 Meeting.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE president
transmitted to congress the report Of
Miss Clara Barton, president of the
American National association of the
Red Cross, who was one of the delegates
from the United States to the Fourth in
ternational conference Of the Red Cross
association, held at C%arlsruhe, Baden, in
September last. In her report Miss Bar
ton said the conference was held in order
to deliberate upon certain important
questions concerning the organized aid
to be given by the associations of the in
ternational Red Cross, and the best
method of administering such aid.
Twenty-one countries were represented
in the conference. The American dele
gates, Miss Barton says, were cordially
received, and treated with uncommon
courtesy. Miss Barton gives an account
OF the doings OF the conference in de-
tail, together with the preparations made
by the various powers represented.
After the close of the conference
Miss Barton states that invitations
were extended to the two United
States delegates by her royal highness
the Grand Duchess of Baden, to pass
some days near her court at Baden, and
to meet once more her honored parents,
their majesties, the Emperor William
and Empress Augusta. This invitation
was accepted, and Miss Barton says she
has the honor to bear to her country the
last expressions of good will toward our
young nationn to which she ever
listened from the revered old monarch,
who has since Joined the courts above.
Miss Barton also visited the renowned
Red Cross foundation schools and hos
pitfalls at Berlin, at the invitation of En-
press Augusta.
