A NEW YEAR PICNIC.
Away Up the River Murrumbidgee.
BY DR.. GEO. B. WALLIS.

And the jingling sound
OF many a sleigh,
In the frolic and fun
of Albany town,
When. just as the sun
Went quietly down,
The Chair, from his post.
Called out Captain Brent,
In speech with a toast
"For the New Year he spent
In Sou'east Australia,
Way back from the sea-
Away up the river
Murrambidgee,
That remarkable river
Murrumbidgee.
And Captain Brent then
Observed, as he rose,
"That yarn, gentlemen,
must spin, suppose,
So we go where this day
The native,-no clotfes,-
Is a dandy au fat,
With a ring in his nose.
With a sweet New Year cup,
He's happiest Of men,
Though the heat may be up
To a hundred and ten,
As /. goes in Australia,
Way back from the sea-
Away up the river
Murrumbidgee,
That singular river
Murrum bidgee.
And unknown to fame
As that river may be,
With its musical name,
Murrumbidgee,-
A dry bed in summer,
Nine miles out of ten,
His boom is a hummer
He's terrible then;
A giant in battle,
He swells in a day,
Sweeping the cattle
By thousands away,
Down the plains of the river,
Way back from the sea-
Along that wild river
Murrum bidgee,-
That deluging river
Murrumbidgee.
And, gents, must say,
That, enjoying it here,
Twas a 1ollier day,
That happy New Year.
We were in that case,
Five stout fellows, who,
On foot in the chase
OF a big kangaroo,
Our hounds on the run
Leading onward, till we,
In the blistering sun,
All done for, agree
To a halt by a river
And what should it be,
But the ghost of the river
Murrumbidgee,-
The summer dried river
Murrumbidgee.
So, halting our band
By the river, we made,
From the long reeds at hand,
A tent. In its shade,
Yes, inside and out,
At rest ON the ground,
And scattered about,
Lay hunter and hound.
There, too. from the sum-
And needful the change
We, trappings and gun,
In order arrange
At our lunch by the river,
Bon jour, boahOmie,
On the bank of the river
Murrumbidgee,-
The meandering river
Murrumbidgee.
There, each Of our men,
From his haversack,
For the picnickers then,
Brought forward q snack,
Altogether a treat,
And a bounteous supply,
Bread, butter and meat,
And nip for the dry.
And cumbersome gear
We couldn't abide,
That roasting New Year,
So We laid IL aside.
And We had by that river,
A mild 1amboree,
In our tent by the river
Murrumbidgee,
That quiet old river,
Murrumbidgee. =,
After feasttng, smoke,
And, to keep cool,
By way Of q Joke,
Heads out, in pool,
We sat and retold
Home scenes o. the day,
In the snow and the cold,
In toboggan and sleigh.
Equipping then soon,
For six-hours' tramp,
By the stars and the moon
We returned TO our camp,
From . New Year In summer,
Way back from the sea-
Away up the river
Murrumbidgee,
That Wild Australian
Murrumbidgee.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-'Strange

face in great town. > says the Even
ing Sun in loaded type and continues
thus: MARK this hidden story of rob
berry, fight. midnight conference and
disappearance. The facts have just
came to light through the arrest and
extradition of Debaum, the defauIting
cashier of the Park Bank and the per-
sonal alteration in the Brooklyn Club
When Debaum disappeared
one day his employers and associates
in the bank wondered why he left
thus abruptly and a painful feeling
gained foothold that his record
might not quite straight. He was a
member of the Brooklyn club famous
for excellent champagne and his deal
ings at the club he had upheld gentle
mans credit and therefore liberal hos
pitality. The bank officers studied the
books he left behind him vet they
seemed all right. If tier departed
cashier had falsified them he had done
so in marvellous way. The best ex-
perts were baf1ed. They were nor

Two Negroes Shot and Several Wounded.

MACON. Ga, Jan. ia special to
the Telegraph, from Albany, Ga. says:
From passenger who came up on the
Brunswick s. Western train to-day.
the following facts were learned about
the riot at Tyty. A bailiff had a war
rant for a negro and when he went to
take his prisoner. the negro drew a
pistol and fired at the officer with no
effect. The officer, seeing his life in
danger, also drew pistol, fred and
killed the negro. The Bruins
wick s. Western construction train
was on a sidetrack close to the scene
and all the negroes quit their work and
went to the aid of the negro whose ar
rest was required. This fixed things
up and in a moment large crowd of
white men was on the scene and i'm
mediately shooting became general,
but wiser heads soon prevailed and the
battle ceased. When the smpke
cleared away it was found
that two negroes were dead and
several others wounded. The negroes
have grown reckless and it is under
stood that they threaten to lynch the
| bailiff and burn the town, if the coron-
er's jury does not find the baitiff guilty
| of murder. The citizens at Tyty are
waiting with Quickening pulse and
| loaded guns for evidence of hostility on
| the part of the negroes.

CAIRO, ILL.,, Jan. 19.-Captain Mark
Cole, of the steamer Sentinel, vouches
for the following remarkable event:
On Wednesday last; while en- route to
GoIconda after rock with his boat, and
while Immediately abreast of New Lib
erty, mld-river, he crippled with shot
gun a huge black eagle, which was
soaring slowly toward the Kentucky
shore. The bird fell about 100 yards
on shore below Hamlettsburg, and after
considerable trouble was secured and
taken aboard the boat. Its wings meas
ured feet inches from tip to tip,
pronounced by the denizens of the
locality to be the largest ever
known in that section. The
bird was taken to Golconda, and as it
was supposed to be badly crippled and
unable to fly. was located in the court
house yard, which was surrounded by
high wire fence. Yesterday negro
boy, about 9 years old, ventured within
the Enclosure and in some manner eX-
cited the ire of his eagleship, who in
stantly developed sufficient strength
and activity TO pOunce upon the child,
and fixing it's talons into his shoulders,
began slowly ascending, Tapping his
broad wings violently in the mean
| time. The boy screamed loudly in his
terror and pain, assistance not arriv-
ing until he was suspended feet
from the ground. The feathered mon
ster dropped his cargo and quietly
| lighted into corner of the yard, ap-
parent1y not in the least excited ovel
his failure to procure winter supply
Of food. The shoulders of the boz
were considerably scratched but moi

The Yves. Virginia situation Serious.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 2l.-The
fight in the Democratic ranks over the
election of United States senator has
come to head. The conference which
met last night continued its delibera-
tions until early Sunday morning. The
contending factions could reach no
agreement whatever. On a clear poll
of the forty-six Democrats in the legis-
lature thirty-five OF them are found to
favor Kenna, the ether eleven are
strongly opposed to him. The Repub-
licans will raise a question over the
possibility of electing a senator next
Tuesday. The law requires that he
shall be elected on the second Tuesday
after the meeting and organization of
the two houses. The senate has not
yet organized, and they say senator
cannot be chosen until it has. A com
mittee of Democratic lawyers are now
considering the question for their par
ty. They will report tomorrow night.
If the Democrats insist on going on
with the election there will be a split
in the legislature, the Republicans will
refuse to go into joint session, and
can as easily hold a joint session OF
their own at the proper time, at which
Golf will be elected senator, and the
contest carried to the United States
senate. The complication is threat
ening serious one.

White Cans Repulsed.

ALLENTOWN, Md, Jan. 19.-An
affair that nearly resulted in the MUIR
der of some prominent citizens of Ken
nedyvill occurred this week. Several
notices had been posted in the town re-
questing certain citizens to go to work
and do better, ETC., and with the usual
cross bones and skull, and signed
white Caps.'' No attention was
paid to the advice given, so the White
Caps" made desperate effort to carry
out their threats. The resi- denee of
"Bin'' Ivans, adjoining the railroad,
was the first attacked. The inmates
were not slow to bar the doors and win
dows and call for help, which FORUM
ately soon came. Some of the rescuers
were armed with axes, forks, fence rails
and shotguns; shots were fired, but the
contents missed their mark, and con-
sequently no one was seriously iDjur-
ed, but the explosion of the weapons
caused the white Caps" to vacate the
premises in great haste.

Train Robbers Roughly Handled.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 23.-The p. m.
south-bound express on the Cincinnati
& Southern road was boarded by rob-
bers just beyond Ludlow last night.
The train had scarcely got beyond the
lights of Ludlow when a man heavily
masked knocked at the rear door of the
express car. Fne of the messengers,
thinking it was the conductor or brake
man. opened the door. The fellow at
once made for the front door, where a
vigorous pounding announced the
presence of another person. Messen-
ger Henry Carroll and his assistant
made a desperate fight and succeeded
in dumping the would-be robber off.
He rolled down an embankment and
disappeared. The other robber seemed
to realize that something was wrong
and his knocking ceased. At the top
Of the grade the messenger pulled the
bell rope and stopped the train, but
the robber on the 'front.' platform dis
appeared before he could be caught. 1t
is not known whether the man who
was thrown of was hurt or not. There
was large sum of money on the train.

A set-Baok for Probibition.


BOSTON, Jan. 23.-Some interesting
figures showing the tendency of Massa-
chusetts on the question of licensing
the sale of intoxicating liquor, were
submitted to the legislature yesterday
by the secretary of state. In 1886, out
of $40 cities and towns, only "A, or q
per cent, voted to grant licenses. and
the popular majority against license
showed 500 per cent of the people of
the state to be in favor of the policy of
prohibition. In 1887, with the same
number of cities and towns, 90 voted
yea, and the majority against license
had become 81 8 per cent of the total

number of cities and towns was 35I
85, or % per cent, voted yes. The total
vote increased 30 per cent in this year
| and 53.45 per cent was in favor OF
license. This is quite a setback fol

A Fortunate Accident.

WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 19.-One
of the most unique and fortunate acct
dents ever recorded happened at the
Cleveland. Lorraine and Wheeling road
just over the river to-day. The yard
engine was left on the track with steam
up while the crew went to dinner. In
some unknown way it is supposed by
the tampering of small boys The thrOt-
tie was opened Just as the passenger
train passed and the switch was thrown
open. The engine quickly acquired mo-
mentum until it was dashing at speed
of sixty miles an hour over the crooked
track for the most part built on high
trestle over the river it whiZzed past
the astOnished people along the line,
clear to Bellaire, five miles from the
starting point where it crushed into a
long train of freight cars heavily laden
with coke. The engine was demolished
and it rained coke for rods in all direc-
tions, the train being broken into
atoms. By the nearest accident no
body was hurt but the money loss is
heavy,

Two War Ships For Samoa.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. u. 1t is said at
the navy department that il will lake
at least six weeks for the war ships
Trenton and Vandalia to make the
voyage to Samoa and that the Nepsic
will be the only United States vessel at
that country from now until after the
4th of March. The Trenton sailed
from Panama about a week ago, but is
not expected to arrive at Samoa more
than few hours ahead of the Wanda
liza, which sailed from San Francisco to-
day. The latter is the faster vessel
and will take more direct route than
the Trenton. No information in regard
to the state of affairs in Samoa in ad
dition to what has already been pub
lished have been receiqed at either the
state or navy departments.

RALEIGH, n. c., Jan. ia special
from Shelby says that IN the South
Mountains, close to the boundary line
between Cleveland and Burke counties,
United States Deputy Marshal Means
and posse of five men were fired at
from ambush by party of twenty-five
moonshiners. Over 100 shots were eX-
changed. E. B. Wray, one of the posse.
was shot in the neck, and a prisoner
was wounded and rescued from the
officers. Means and his men had en-
tered the mountains and destroyed
two distilleries and captured three
men. They were returning when they
were fired upon. The horses became
frightened and threw the men into
confusion, Means horse throwing him
and spraining his shoulder. The off,
GERS returned the fire, but the moon
sinners fled, carrying the wounded
prisoner with them. The country is
very rough and pursuit is impractic-
able.
