WHEELING WINS.
A Small Sized Riot occurs on the Canton
Grounds.

Special Dispdieh to The IaielltgeHeT.
CANTON, o., August l2.-To-day's game
was quite exciting in more ways than
one. The home team were finishing the
fifth inning when they saw rain coming
up, and with the score . to 0 in favor of
the visitors they tried to delay the game,
hoping to have it called by the umpire.
Hall was about to do this when Nichol-
son grabbed him by the throat. In a
moment the diamond was filed with
hundreds Of angry spectators who would
not leave until the police were called on.
After delay OF forty-fve minutes on
account Of rain the game was finished in
the mud. But for the rain it is probable
that Canton would have been shut out,
as they only found Morrison for one hit
up tothe eighth inning. Following is
the score:

The Hot Creek Indians have a sum-
mary way of treating their physicians
when they fail to cure their patients. The
relatives of the deceased are justified in
killing him, A case of the kind occurred
recently. Miss Madge related how the
woman that washed for them lost her hus-
band, and before he died he told his wife
that he could not rest in peace unless she
killed the doctor, an old squaw who had
practiced among them many years. The
considerate wife left his bedside Just at
dawn, and, stealing into the wigwam of
the doomed woman, dropped a slip moose
round her neck and jerked it quickly
tight, so that it was impossible for her
victim to utter n sound louder than a hor-
rible gurgle.
The wife afterward described the whole
CHASTITY circumstance with a fidelity that
proved her keen enjoyment of the agony
of the wretched squaw. She explained in
vivid pantomime just how she continued
to tighten the moose by a peculiar witch
ing motion, while she dragged the with
ing creature round and round the room.
When she had at last ceased to struggle,
the wife returned to her appeased lord,
who breathed his last with a tranquiliz-
ing sense that he had brought about a
noble vindication of his death.-Ninetta

Nature of infectious diseases.

This discovery of the parasitic nature
Of infectious diseases is Of more than
scientific interest; it is of vast practical
value. 1t has not yet, perhaps, contrib
uted very materially to the methods of
treating disease directly, although we
may confidently expect great results in
the future along this line. There is moth
ing to prevent direct experiments with
germicides upon living bacteria in the
laboratory, and we may hope in this way
to get n more scientific method of curing
infectious diseases, after the theory OF
their parasitic nature becomes more truly
the property Of doctors as well rs scien.
lists. Thus far, however, the value OF
the theory has been rather as the founda.
ton of the science of preventive medicine.

and is only beginning to become rulized

The German who was driven from the

ners of the British and their habit of put
ting their knives in their mouths, during
one of his first strolls in Capri saw a
beautiful girl in the old costume of the

frightful precipice. Hurriedly advanc-
ing, the kim man, in his best Ger
Italian, besought her to leave
the dangerous spot. But the girl
would not stir, only sadly shook her head.

Trembling with emotion, the girl turned
her head aside. Come urged the Ger
man, don't, pray don't do it." At
this the girl turned her streaming eyes

answered: 1.-The signore is right, / will
not do it." The German went away re-
Joicing; he had saved the poor creatures
life. But the next day, CHANGING to pass
the spot, he was thunderstruck by again
finding the same girl in the same attitude.
He was about to seize her ann, when a

IT is nothing short of a public outrage
that it shonld require seventy-eight hours
to count the vote in a single precinct of
this city. The method OF counting re-

merit of being peculiarly laborious, but in
closely contested elections, with the clerks

THE HON. RINeeoNE BIvlNs
Begins n Lecture Before the Limekilr
Club.

Begins n Lecture Before the Limekiln
Club.
When the meeting opened Brother
Gardner announced that the Hon. Ring
bone Bivins, of Kankakee, had arrived in
the Limekiln club. The subject of his
lecture was: "Has de World Advanced
Fur 'Nuffy'' He had been before the COM
mittee on inquiry, and had answered all
questions, and he would now be brought
in and given every opportunity to acquit
himself with honor. 1t was a subject of
deep interest to every member of the club,
and it wa hoped that each and every one
would pay the closest attention to the
strangers remarks.
The committee On reception and abduc-
ton escorted the Hon. Bivins into the hall
amidst profound silence. He was a stately
looking man of middle age, having a cast
in one eye inc some trouble in one of his
knees. He bowed right and left with the
grace and suavity of an emperor, and
upon ascending the platform gently OBJ
served:

Brother Jones had already slipped out
and with this purpose in view. He was
gone ten minutes. When he returned his
necktie was gone and his coat torn down
the back. The Hon. Ringbone had evi

A

The people of Laramie county have set
their seal of condemnation on perpetual
oficeholding and political bossism. Judge
Bergman is elected by a bare majority
over a candidate who was not extensively
acquainted in either the city or county
and after one OF the most desperate strug-
giles ever known in the politics of the
county. Two years & his majority over
Mr.. Billiard was 1858; this year his ma
jority over Nh. Hord will not be over
100. Bergman's political partner, Joe
Fisher, is defeated.
That thinking people of both parties
readily appreciated that The LEADERS
fight against Judge Bergman was not
actuated by personal feeling is amply evil
denced by the result. The reasons daily
given were calculated to appeal to their
common sense rather than to their preju-
dices and it required the most extraordi-
nary exertions OF the machine to secure a
success which, under the circumstances, is
little less than a qualified defeat.
In marked contrast is the result in the
case of prosecuting attorney. Mr.. Stoll
was singled out by the Sun as the partlc-
ular object of attack. Day after day he
was pursued with malignant pertinacity,
and the public was deluged with statistics
carelessly collated. DETAINED and villified
for thirty days, Mr.. Stoll awoke to find
himself reelected prosecuting attorney by
about 500 majority, the second time in
the history of the county that the compli-
ment has ever been paid a man.
As a party paper THE LEADER has
done whatever was legitimately in its
power to contribute to the success of the
Democratic ticket, but in no instance has
it knowingly transcribed the bounds OF
truth even in the heat of the contest.

THE BOND BROTHERS RAGGED.

Extensive South Carolina Insurance
 Swindlers Arrested in Alabama.
 CHARLESTON, s. O., April 1S.-James P. Bond and Tom Bond the chief conspirators in the insurance swindles, have been cap tured in Alabama. Governor Richardson will issue acquisitions for them.
 One of the Bonds was agent for Northern insurance companies, while his brother is a doctor. In the last undertaking, in which their criminal practices were discovered, the agent wrote a policy on the life of man who existed only in the imagination of the Bonds, which was accepted by the company, who shortly afterward received demand from the widow for the amount of the in- surance, accompanied by certificate of death signed in due form by Dr. Bond
 The company for some reason was sus- picious, and detectives were put upon the case, with astonishing results It was found that a corpse was obtained by the Bonds, and s1nuggled into house where they had pre- viously installed woman of questionable character The latter buried the body as that of her husband, who, according to Bonds certificate of death, fell and received injuries from which he died almost immediately. Learning that they were suspected of the fraud the Bonds fled, and the woman wa. spirited away and kept in close confinement. She escaped, however, and related the story to the authorities.

But the Doctors Give Warning That it
 Will Not Last.
 BERLIN, April 1s-The emperor's health is little improved since Monday. He slept much better than the doctors ventured to hope-for five hours. The fever also abated during yesterday, and his temperature fell nearly deg. At the consultation yesterday the examination of the lungs gave a favor able result. They are no: in the least affected The doctors, especially Professor Leyden, incline more and more to Sir Morell Mackenzie's opinion that an abscess has formed at the entrance of the trachea-
 It is learned from a direct source that the physicians at their consultation yesterday agreed that the emperor's malady was ap- preaching the last stage. The news has been guardedly conveyed to the members of the royal family, it being intimated to them the emperor requires the utmost care, though for the moment there is no immediate danger
 At late hour this morning the following bulletin was issued: "The emperor has had two hours of refreshing sleep. Dr. Krause remains with the patient ut the special re- quest of the emperor and empress There is no ground for experimenting immediate danger"

CAMERON coNFEssEs.

He Divulges the Hiding Place of the
 Winnipeg Ranks Money.
 WINNIPEG, Minn., April 1S-W. A. Cam eron, the absconding teller of the Union bank, who got away with about $35 ,OOO, has, after two days detention at Pemt ina, D. T., indicated where the stolen money may be found.
 As result of Cameron's confession, two hotel keepers of this city have been arrested as accomplices in the crime, and nearly all the missing money has been recovered and restored to the bank. It is said that the bank will lose only $1 300. Cameron was re- leased and proceeded to Chicago As mat ter of fact, # Cameron had been disposed to keep silent about the money, no legal power in Dakota could compel its restoration. With his acconplices in Winnipeg, however, matters are likely to go hard The Union bank was recently victimixed to large amount by the failure of firm here, and if Cameron had succeeded in getting away with the proceeds of his theft the resources of the bank would have been crippled seriously.
 A man named Diamond, who was an ac. countant for the firm referred to, has also been arrested for compicity in Cameron'a crime. The question of more comprehen- siye extradition with the United States i: again being agitated.

He Shot His Assailsnt, But Not Soon
 Enough to Save Himself.
 DANRURY, Conn, April 1s.-Virgil Bar mum was shot by his brother-in-law, William H.. Hawley, yesterday. and is dying. Both men are prominent citizens, Hawley being c leading druggist The trouble grew out of Q long standing family quarrel Hawley and his wife, Barnum's sister, have not lived happily, and there have been frequent dis putes over the proprietorship of the drug business, which Mra Hawley owned before the marriage.
 Yesterday Barnum, on visiting Hawley's house, heard from his sister that there had been another quarrel It is said Barnum pro- ceeded to the bedroom where Hawley was yet asleep, and was about to brain him with U chair, when Hawley, waking up, drew a revolver from beneath the pillow and fired i've shots, two of which took effect one in Barnum's forehead and one in his side
 The victim is 45 years old, aud leading Methodist church member. Hawley is several years younger, and a son of a prominent mission conductor. He is one of the wealthiest men in the state Public sympathy seems to be on his side, as it appears that he acted wholly in self defense.
 1t transpires that Hawley is also seriously injured, his skull having been fractured by blow or kick He is not expected to live. He accuses Barnum of beginning the affray, as above related Mrs Hawley was the only witness of the struggle She endorses Bar ment, to the effect that while he was talking with her about Hawley's abusing her, Hawley entered the room, revolver in hand, and saying: "In finish you now" began firing, and that the men then clinched and fell, after which Barnum remembers nothing.
