THE Greenville Is c. Daily Neus has

THE Greenville Is Co. Daily Ne,rs has
printed letter recently received by its
editor from Gen. Harrison, and publish
ed by his permission. Ii was written in
reply to letter urging that Southern
commercial interests would be relieved
from obstruction caused by doubts and
fears regarding the Southern policy OF
the coming administration if Gen. Har-
rison would make some general assur-
ances of his purpose to follow conserv-
alive course toward the South. IL is as
follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. IA, 'SS.-A.
b. Williams, Esq, Greenville, 5. C.-My
Dear Sir:-Your letter of Nov. 10th has
been received. | am not ready to make
any public utterances upon any public
question. Every day j am solicited by
special correspondents of the press to
speak upon this subject or that, but |
have invariably declined, and to your
appeal for some expression upon the
question that interests you, i must for
the present make the same answer.
understand that you have yourself been
satisfied with the expressions made by
me in my public utterances to visiting
delegations during the campaign. When
the surprise and disappointment which
some of your people have felt over the
result has passed away and they give
some calm thought to the situation,
think they will be as much surprised as
am that they should in thought and
speech impute to me unfriendliness to-
ward the South. The policies in legisla-
ton advised by the Republican party
believe are wholesome for the whole
country, and if those who in their hearts
believe with us upon these questions,
would act with us, some other questions
that give you local concern would settle
themselves. Very truly,
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

II is seemingly quite settled that Sem
ator Sherman can have the position of
Secretary of State if he desires it, and it
will be for Mr.. Sherman to decide
whether he will prefer to retire to pri-
vate life at the age of 20 or Whereabouts
as Secretary of State or as Senator. AT
the expiration of his term as Senator
he will be about 60 years ofage. his
term of office as Secretary of State
would expire at the same time. He
could be reasonably assured that his
successor in the senate would be Re-
publican. He certainly would be Re-
publican until the next Legislature
would meet, as he would be the APP
pointee of Governor Foraker. Mr..
Sherman hes said that he has renowned
all aspirations for the Presidency, and
that the contest before the convention
of 1855 was his last Senator Sherman
retirement from the Senate will be a
serious loss to the Republican strength
in that body.

A Japanese Football Game.

aThare is really nothing new in foot

q group of friends. The game has been
played in japan for thousand years.
But there were some differences of de-
tail in the rules. They couldn't play

when they began there wasn't any
Rugby.
.srhe japanese game was sadly effete.

sacred to be seen by ordinary mortals.
"The ball was dainty thing OF cot,

ladies sat on the verandas of the palace
and applauded, and sang songs, and
composed poetry. There wasn't any
''tackling," or ''scrimages" CT gore: II

A Remarkable Electric Shock.

There is a lady now living in Cleveland,
Ohio, upon whom an electric shock has
left the most remarkable trace. Some
fourteen years ago, during a thunder
storm, she was SO shocked rs to be
partly paralyzcd for some days, and
since then, whenever there is a storm,
though she suffers no pain and retains
speech and cons iousness, she los all
muscular power, and only regains it
when the weather grows calm. She
feels sharply the diff renee in a storm
confined to the upper currents and one
that stlrs all the aerial deeps. In q
mountainous breezy region, she says,
the electric influence is not so strong rs
in one whore the land is level and the
air moasurnb!y calm. The only pre-
ventive she has is to go indoors and shut
herself into II room darkened and lit
with gas. Even there, if the storm lasts
q few hours, she is overcome by it,
though the fall or abs nee of rain makes
but little difference in her condition.

for the purpose of severing all connec-
ton with his family. His wife offered
to join him at San Francisco, but the
officers informed the poor woman that it
would be no Use, as her husband would
have no communication with her.
That Black Bart has gone back to his
old profession is firmly b lieved by the
detectives and police authorities of San
Francisco. The last three robberies
bear the impriGts of his genius. His
method of attacking g stage has always
been thesame. A Jump from thesids Q! >he
road brought him in front of the leading
horses which sheltered him from the fire
of the messenger or driver. His double
barreled shotgun would cover them on
the box, and they would seldom fail to
throw out the treasure-chest and the
mail.
1t is related of the English highway
man, Dick Turpin, that when, in the last
century, he used to rob the stage coach
cs going up to London he often danced
with the lady passengers on the green
sward, and Black Bart, following in his
wake was always in his criminal exploits
very polite to the ladies. He always
carri d an old ak with which he opened
the treasure-box and sharp knife for
the mail-bags.
At six o'clock last Tuesday night the
stage from Mendocino City to 1ngrams,
the terminus of the North Pacific Coast
Railroad, was stopped and robbed by
lone highwayman. The robbery oc-
Cured at point about seven miles
| north of Ingrams. Ordinarily the stage
] passes this place about four o'clock, but
the illn SIS of one of the stage horses had
| delayed it for two hours, and it was after
dark when it was reached. John Almon,
the owner of the stage line, was on the
| seat with the driver. Suddenly man
/ with a gun in his hand, stepped into the
road and ordered the driver to stop. He
/ had previously rolled heavy log across
| the road in order to block it. As soon
as the stage was stopped the robber
ordered the driver to throw out the
express box and the mail bags of which
/ there were three When this was done he
! told the driver to get down and remove
the obstruction, and then allowed the
stage to PASS on. 1t is supposed there
was little in the express box but the mail
was valuable. There is one registered
letter which contained $500. Detective
| Hume, of Wells. Fargo & Co., says posit-
| lively that the robbery was committed by
''Black Bart If he had had any
doubts before as to the identity of the
''Lone Highwayman" this last robbery
would have removed them. He judges
by the style of the robbery, for it was so
dark last night that it wGs impossible
to see the higwayman's face. He de-
clares that "Black Bart" is the greatest
stage-robber who has appeared on the
road since America was discovered, 1t
is a significant coincidence that "Black
Bart" stopped stage at the same place
several years ago, and on that occasion
left his first poem in the express box.

WHO OWNS THE DEER
a Singular Case which has Como Up
in Pennsylvania.

The traditional law among deer hunt
ers in Pennsylvania viii no doubt be
given its true meaning by the court OF
Huntingdon County. A singular case
bearing upon the proper allotment and
distribution of wounded and captured
game has come to life in that county.
The unwritten law observed by hunters,
it is believed, has been violated, and it
is safe to say that the matter will require
judicial Interpretation 10 settle it.
Isaac Greenberg and Newton Africa
are telegraph operators by profession,
but they sometime go deer hunting for
recreation. Last Tuesday was favor
tie day for amateur hunters. The snow
which had fallen was just deep enough
TO pursue the feet-footed game. Even
old hunters took advantage of the OPP
portunity and went in pursuit of deer.

covering from their surprise, and were
congratulating themselves upon their
success when they were accosted by an
other local Tarty of experienced deer
hunters, including such veterans MS
George 7. Warfel and John Barrack.
This party at once laid claim to the
slain animal and proceeded to take pos
session of the game. To this procedure
Greenberg and Africa objected, but the
veteran hunters alleged that che of their
party had shot ut the deer some three
miles distant. However, there was no
mark on any part of the deer except
where it WAS shot by the you; hful HINT
ers. Upon these facts the latter claimed
the doe, but the veterans insisted that,
according to the common law among
hunters-because they had shot at the
deer before twas killed by another par
ty-the game belonged to them.
This was puzzler for the boys, but
after some discussion on the subject
they reluctantly surrendered their claim
to the slain doe, believing that the first
person who fired at the deer was en-
titled to it. GreeEberg and Africa shot
no more game that day, and upon
their return home they related the cir
cumstance to few Of their friends.
They were soon convinced that they
had been imposed upon and called on
the veteran hunters to give them back
their game. This was refused, and thev
at once appeared before Squire James
Kelley invoking the law for redress.
The matter is exciting much interest,
as the point at law is regarded as verv
important by deer hunters. This is tho
