A NEWSY LETTER
From Nashville, Tennessee--StOck and other
Items of Interest.
Horsenan

NASHVILLE. Tenn, June 25.
Editor Of the River Press:
Thinking a few lines from Nashville
Tennessee, might be of some interest tc
your readers, I write. The weather in
this locality is getting hot in earnest; the
thermometer above 80 makes me long for
the sight of the Rocky Mountains. The
heat here at 80 is more oppressive than in
Montana at 112 The crops of every de-
scription are good. Wheat is cut and will
be ready for market in a few days. The
fruit crop is enormous. Peaches and ap-
pies are brought in by the wagon loads
and sold by wholesale and retail, and
hundreds Of barrels shipped north daily.
Peaches sell by the retail at 15 cents a
peck; apples at 10 cents. Garden veget-
ables in abundance.
Politics is running high; the general i'm
preston is that Grover Cleveland will
have Walk-over.
The city Of Nashville is improving very
fast. 1t has running and being built six
dummy lines leading out from the city
three or four miles into the country, and
will soon supersede the horse cars. The
population Of Nashville is about $4,000.
The public sale of thoroughbred Jer-
seys averaged for the best about one hun
dred and forty dollars Holsteins are not
much in demand, and all cattle rather
low with an upward tendency. They are
importing all the fine jacks from Spain to
Nashville. There will be at least dozen
different importations this spring. The
public sale of thoroughbred colts in Ten
nessee and Kentucky averaged about
$3.50. The fastest horses in America are
bred in Tennessee and Kentucky.
[ have been sending some cooks to diff
ferent parties in Montana, and since they
have become convinced that they won't
freeze to death there, they are becoming
anxious to go. If your people will send
their orders will supply all Montana
with hands of every description. There
are in the city of Nashville at least 5000
more than is needed. The larger the or
der the easier it is to fill. The only draw
back is that there is not one in hundred
that has money enough to pay their rail
road fare to Montana, and this makes it
necessary for those wanting help to pay
their fare for them. I have daily appli-
cations from men and women who wish
to go to Montana.

Gen. Sheridan at Nonquitt.

NoNQUTTT, July 9.-The steamer Swa-

Sheridan was brought ashore without any
apparent discomfort Dr. Reilly, who was
with the general during the voyage from
Washington, left for the capital to-day on
account of business engagements, and his
place has been taken by Dr. Washington
Matthews. The following bulletin was

the apparent fatigue incident to the gen

he had tolerably fair night, but slightly

THE BRUTAL HUNS
Murder Polander With Clubs and Stones

PITTsBURG, July ga Chronicle spe-

conflict occurred at Jessup, Lackawana
county, between parties of Polanders and
Hungarians. The riot was the result of
bitter race feelings existing for some time
past, owing to some trouble at Dolphus.
where they were formerly employed. Or
rem Kankowsky, the leader of the Polish
faction, was attacked by Huns at his
home and fled from the back door to the
saloon of Michael Pono, where the doors
were Immediately barred to prevent the
attacking party getting in. The latter
were determined to secure their man. and
forcing the doors dragged him out in the
road, beating him with stones and clubs
and defying those who came to his help.
They soon pounded him to death. The
Huns then began celebrating their crime
by drunken carousal. The leaders of
the party, Michael Laurick, Andrew Cum
isky and j. Harway, were secured by the
sheriff's deputies at noon and taken to
Scranton Jail. There has never been an
occurrence so brutal in it's character in
this region.

Or1eanists Schemes

PARIS, July THE police have seized
at the house of M. Duefull, director of the
Orleanist press, copies Of a letter written
by the Count De Paris to the conserva-
tive mayors Of France, in which he says:
"You have to protect municipal liberties
and finance against an extravagant and
tyranical administration, which is the
willing tool of the party which compro-
missed the republic and which will cause
its downfall. The day is near when we
must all unite to reconstruct and estab-
lish the government of France upon
durable basis. The republic has not given
the commune the liberty it promised
them. A monarchy alone can restore to
you your liberties and establish order in
the communes and in the state"

MIssoULA, July 6.-The shooting con-
test between r. A. Eddy, Of Missoula, and
A. ]. Fisk, of the Helena Herald, came off
to-day. The contest took place at the
grounds of the rod and gun club, and was

known as the best marksmen in the terri
tory. Mr.. Eddy led off, and when his
twentieth shot had been fred had lost but
one bird. Fisk lost seven out of the same
number of birds. During the next twenty
shots Eddy lost number of birds, and
the score ended 50 to 36 out of a possible
SO in favor Of Eddy, leaving Richard A.
Eddy, of Missoula, the best off-hand
marksman in Montana After the result
was made known, Frank Comfy, of Deer
Lodge, challenged Eddy to shoot for the
medal, the contest to take within thirty
days, the present wearer of the medal to

PENSION FRAUDS.
Private Pension Bills Vetoed by President
Cleveland for Cause.

WASHINGTON, July, 5.-A message from
the president was received by the senate
to-day vetoing the bill granting pension
to Mary Ann Doherty. The president
shows the bad character of the woman,
and that her husband, on account Of
whose death the pension was desired, was
alive, and is himself drawing a pension.
The president says he would yield to no
man in his desire to see those who defend
ed the government literally treated, but
the pension list should be roll of honor
and not of indiscriminate aims giving.
The president refers to large number of
special pension bills before him, and says:
ut would be we'll if all our general pen
sion laws could be revised with view of
meeting every meritorious case. In the
the absence Of such revision, and if pen
sions are to be granted rpon equitable
grounds, and without regard to general
laws, the present methods could be great
ly improved by the establishment of some
tribunal to examine facts in every case
and determine upon the merits OF the ap
phcations." The president also returned
without his approval the senate bill to
grant pension to J. B. Martin, of Ne
braska, as the dependent father of Calvin
Martin, who claimed his son was killed in
the battle with Indians in the Custer
massacre. The president says; This
name does not appear in any record of
soldiers engaged in that battle; and con
siderlng the complete list of casualties
attending that battle, the death of the
son of the beneficiary is far from being
satisfactorily established" The senate
bill to pension Polly S. Smith, widow
of Lieut.. J. FL. Smith, of the second ar
tillery, who served in the army from 1854
to 1870 was also returned without execu-
tive approval on the ground that death
had no connection with the service.
