Wilmington N. c., Special in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat
A mysterious affair occurred here last
night in one of the public streets after
midnight, which was witnessed by sev-
eral residents. A buggy drove through
the street, and the occupants were Il
lady and gentleman driving leisurelY.
When 1t was near the city hospital a
man suddenly stepped from behind a
tree-box and stopped the horse. He
said in a quiet voice: "Now, get out OF
the buggy" The lady did so, and the
man pulled a cowhide from beneath his
coat and began beating her un-
mercifully. She stood still as he rained
the blows upon her head and shoulders,
and she made no ou'cry. The occupant
of the buggy drove rapidly off as soon
as the cowhide was drawn. After the
man had used the cowhide vigorously
for awhile, he said in the same quiet
tone: "Now 90 home" She staggered
on in front of him. Though the sharp
leather made heavy wells uDon her
neck and shoulders through tie white
dress that she wore, she did not finch.
Several residents Witnessed the scene
from their bedroom windows. but it was
all SO quickly and quietly done, that it
was over before they could interfere.

IT has been said that the manuscript
of The Quick or the Dead had to be
carefully expurgated before it could be
printed. William s. Walsh. editor of
Lippincott's Magazine, writes to the
Critic that ''the manuscript of The
Quick or the Dead was set up exactly
as received; a few alterations here and
there were suggested in proof and ac-
coded to by the authoress, but the en-
tire corrections would not altogether
have made SO much as four lines of
printed matter.n

Effect of Ammonia on Amman life,
From the Cincinnati Enauirer


An explosion of an ammonia tank
occurred May 8, at the Buckeye Brew
cry, with very strange result Almost
Immediately after the explosion every
bird IN the neighborhood fell dead.
Chlppies, English sparrows and Gamma
ries all suffered alike, and after the
shock dead birds could be seen living
about the sidewalks in that locality in
great numbers. The explosion caused
an alirm of fire to be sent in, and the
horse attached to the hose reel No. 5.
which responded, came near being
killed by the ammonia. The animal
dashed toward the supposed fire with
all the speed he possessed, but when
the strong odor of the ammonia struck
his nostrils he was completely overc me
and could not move. The horse was at
once Withdrawn from the place and re-
storatives applied. John Loder, George
hotis, laborars, and Fireman Ross were
IN the room at the tine, but escaped
unlnjured. Besides the injury done to
the tank, the company will lose $500,
the value of the ammonia.

THERE is always something sensation
al about the politics of France. The
latest illustration is the publication by
La France of an article which pretends
to reveal plan concocted by Prince
Bismarck and Signor Crispi, the foreign
minister of Italy, to dismember France
atterthe precedent of Poland, and di-
vide up the great provinces of the great
country between Germany, Italy, Bel
GUM and Spain. 1t is difficult to be-
iIeye that the French people are really

And the maiden fair threw her novel away,

Children's Imitativeness Illustrated
From the Indianapolis Journal.

Not long since there was a wedding
up town, and quite number of chill
dren, WHO are in the family, were pres
ent. The officiating clergyman made
the ceremony very brief one, and the
children caught it all, and now not an
hour passes that the ceremony is not
gone through with by the little ones.
On one occasion the two to be married
were pronounced man and wife in a
very short time, when the miniature
clergyman astonished the family bv
saying; Its so hot in here, we'll
have TO 60 in the hall to prav," and
they all followed him TO the cooler
spot, where they finished the ser

A New Use for Dogs.

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, Aug. T.
An Augusta boy who went regularly
to the Young Mems Christian Assocla-
ton gymnasium last winter became
much interested in developing his mus
Gle. He had been told that the best
way TO do this was to swing Indian
clubs, beginning with a light pair aEi
gradually increasing the weight as he
became stronger. As this would neces-
state the purchase of several pairs Of
clubs, which he could i'll afford,
he hit upon the following scheme:
He was the owner of two
pups, which, though small in size, pos
sessed to a remarkable degree that
tenacity of grip for which the bulldog
is so justly celebrated. He easily taught
each of these to fix his teeth in the end
of short stick, and then, taking one Of
the sticks in each hand, he waved them
about his head in some of the simple
movements. As the dogs grew his
strength increased, and now he may be
seen in easy posture performing all the
graceful gyrations of an expert club
swinger with two wooden handles, to
the ends of which couple OF fifteen
pound bulldogs hang by their teeth
with death-like grip.
