Precocious Young RascalS.

CINCINNATI, o., July 19.-Yester-
day three boys were arrested near the
Exposition buildings, where they had
been observed attempting to pick the
pockets of strangers. Late last even
ing they made confession that they
were members of a regularly organized
band of young thieves. One gang was
composed of Bundy wainwright, the
leader, Linsey Murphy, Walker Har-
ris, Willie Madden. The prisoners
ages range from IL to IS years. Dixon,
one of the prisoners, stated that they
had been picking pockets, and tapping
tills all over the city. Several days
ago they made round, and tapped
the till of drug store at the corner of
there they went to Freeman, near
Ochlver street, where they tapped the
till of grocery; from this point they
went to saloon, corner of Richmond
and Bay-Miller streets, and relieved
the till of its contents. The next place
visited was q saloon at Freeman Ave-
nue. and Liberty street, where they
succeeded in getting several dollars.
The gang according to the prisoners
statements even went so far, as to Or
ganize raid on End National bank,
at 9th and Main streets. 1t was ar
ranged that three of the gang should
visit the place about closing time,
and while two of them started a sham
fight, the third was to go inside the
railing, and grab bundle of money.
The boys visited the place twice, but
each time a blue coat happened
to be in the eighborhood. After
this attempt, wainwright, Murphy,
Madden and Harris went to Nash
vile, Tenn, where they are at pres
ent. The case is one of the most pecu-
liar ever brought to the attention of
the police, and the breaking up of the
gang will put an end to the petty
stealing that has been going on in
this city for some time.

Exposition Preparations.

COLUMBUS, July ia special COM
mittee, representing the North Geor-
gia and Alabama Exposition, to take
place the first week in October, con-
sisted of Col. w. A. Walton, secretary;
of the exposition, John Temple Graves,
editor of the Rome Tribune, and c. H.
Miller, they called on Thurman to-
day and extended formal and most
hearty invitation on behalf of the ex-
position committees and the people to
attend the opening. Judge Thurman
expressed,a doubt at first as to his abil-
ity to be present, owing to the fact
that about that time he would be en-
gagged in an argument of the telephone
cases in the supreme court at WASH
ingtOn. The committee, however, re-
minded him that the exposition would
last about two weeks and that he
could select any date. Although re-
ceiving no definite promise, the COM
mittee felt assured they will be able
to secure the presence of Judge Thur
man some time during the exposition.

Famine and Destitution.

ST. JOHN, N. F., July 19.-People
arriving here from the interior and
northern part of the island, report
great restitution is prevalent at the
small hamlets which depend upon
fishing for living. A Rose Blanche
correspondent says, pauperism has
assumed most alarming proportions.
Sad tales of restitution and poverty
come from Griguet. II. F. Thompson,
who arrived here from the latter place
yesterday, says that more than one
third of the people are in a starving
condition, thirteen or fourteen fami-
lies are living entirely on mushels.
There are no fewer than 40 families
without any means of subsistence,
and the fights among these for such
food as they can pick along shore, are
like those among ravenous beasts.

into the camp of Collector McList yes

demanded immediate release Of all
cattle held by him for Texas. AS the
non-citizens out-numbered the
militia, under McList's command, al
most two to one, nothing was left but
to submit, and the cattle were given
up. Governor Ghey was telegraphed 4;
it is expected he will take immediate
steps to have all these rebellious nom
citizens removed at once.

KERRvILLE, July IS, 'SS.
To the San Antonio LIGHT:
Having left your city on the 10Th in
, the afternoon, in company with J. J..
Thanein, of the Osborne Manufactur-
ing company, and supplied with a
complete camping outfit, we accord
ingly camped on the Helotes, at the
Bandera crossing, the morning of the
18th early on our way to Bandera.
The road is lined with the habitations
of thrifty farmers, who are having a
grand bonanza this season in the way
of crops. Corn is just magnificent;
cane i'm its various kinds is finer than
it has been for many a day. There is
not much cotton, but the few fields
passed are fine looking and blooming.
Nature has been bountiful even
in weeds various kinds of Summach
have taken possession of old fields. By
the way this summach will yet be-
come great article of trade as several
species contain a large amount of
''Tannic acid" Next to this comes
that pet weed of the crank Oscar
Wilde, the wiley sunfower, and a
wagon load can be gathered on a
space double the size Of a wagon,
while the open prairies in addition to
a fine grass crop, display endless Wis.,
ions of the purple verbena and mag
nificent lantanas.
Nearing Bandera the mountains
get more craggy and steep while at
their base, ripling and purling brooks,
creeks and rivulets roll through
their rocky channels seward on
their course. Our next camp
was three miles from Bandera,
towards Kerrville, over and between
more mountains and mountain passes.
We arrived at this cool and breezy
city thousand feet above the sea
level this morning and were well
: coined by mine host, Mr.. M. J. Scally,
formerly of your city, but now the
genial host of the st. Charles hotel.
Owing to the fact that the establish
ment is crowded to nearly its full ca
pacity, arrangements have already
been made to build a "Kerrville
Grand" by Mr.. Schreiner, which will
be added to the st. Charles, under the
same management. The grounds sur
rounding the hotel have been fur
nished with a fine lot of shade trees,
tropical plants, lawns, croquet grounds
and other paraphernalia for "dOlce far
niente" seekers. From here we 60 to
Junction City, distance of IS miles.

PARTY OR PRINCIPLE7

San Antonio has protective club
of about five hundred members. The
majority of these members have hith-
erto voted the democratic ticket. The
president of the club contends that
protection was the original democratic
principle from which the party in it's
later movements has departed. A
vote was recently taken in the house
of representatives upon question of
protection versus free trade, and in
which the very existence of one of the
great Industries of this country was
involved. OF all the democratic repre-
sentatives in congress only three
voted in accordance with protection
ideas. The others voted to place wool
upon the free list and reduce Ameri-
can wool growers to the condition Of
Australian sheep snatchers. From
this it would appear that the demo-
cratic congressman of today is very far
gone from the original righteousness
of his democratic progenitOr of the
Jeffersonian breed. 1t will be most
interesting to follow up their line of
procedure, during the progress of
this free trade and protection cam
paign, and see how far the members
of the protective club of this city have
the courage of their opinions. How
many protective democrats will vote
for the party of protection and how
many will vote for free trade? OF one
hundred and twenty-five democrats
voting in congress three voted for
protection principles. Will the pro-
portion be greater among the protec-
ton democrats of the club? All
things come to him who waits. The
answer to this conundrum will be
read next November.

A CASE.
Looking for a Divorce One DaY--Mar-
rIes the Next.

A very peculiar case has Just come to
light in this city, and it is possible that it
will get further into the light hereafter
than it is at present.
No names will here be mentioned, nor
yet the date of the occurrence, except that
it was not very long ago, but a party came
into a lawyers Office one morning and
said he wanted to procure a divorce from
his wife who lives in --- and pro-
ceeded to explain hat she would not live
with him any longer and would not come
here, as he had sent her money at n
time to pay her fare to Cheyenne, but
that she has refused to come. The attor-
ney told him he had better not state the
case to him in detail as he should not con
slider himself retained in the case until he
had been paid a retainer fee, mentioning
the amount he should charge. The party
said that was satisfactory, and that on the
following Monday he would bring the
lawyer the money so that the suit could
be instituted at once.
Imagine the surprise Of that lawyer
when on the next day the party who came
to see about getting a divorce got married,
and that too in sight of the law office at
which the bridegroom had called the day
before to talk over the law of divorce and
arrange for having his suit commenced.
Whether anything will ever grow out of
a proceeding like this remains to be seen,
but probably not, so far as the attorney
consulted is concerned, for he has not a
word to say about it.
The matters above related are strictly
true, however, and names could be given
if THE LEADER was so disposed.
