THE HAYTIEN REPUBLIC.

Sink the Vessel.

One of Legitime's GuubOats Attempts to
Sink the Vessel.
PORT Az PRINCE, Haytl, Jan. 3-The
steamship Haytien Republic was run into
by the Haytien gunboat Nouville Void
rogue, on the night of December 20, with
out serious damage to either vessel.
The Haytien gunboat was entering
the harbor at full speed, and could
have steamed to her anchorage without any
change of course, but when within 200
yards of the Haytien Republic her helm
was suddenly put to port and remained SO
until she struck that vessel. Then her en-
CINE were reversed and she backed to a
distance of two hundred yards. She then
again steamed at full speed until short
distance from the Haytien Republic, when
her course was slightly changed, thus just
missing her.
It is the opinion that it was deliberate
attempt to sink the released ship. 1t is a
question whether the scheme was orig
mated by higher authority than the
Captain of the gunboat
The Galena officers met next day and a
demand for an investigation was made
upon the Haytien Government The re-
ports will be presented and redress de-
manded upon the return of the Galena
from Kingston, Jamaica, on January 20,
where she steamed on January 1 to coal
and communicate by cable with the Amer
lean Government

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Jan. 19-Thomas Hague,
OF Coal Run, a small coaling village three
miles west of this place, was whipped by
Whitecaps last night and thrown into a
creek with a rope around his body until he
was almost dead. Three miners on their
way home from work approached the spot
where the outrage was being perpetrated
and were compelled to stay on the scene
until the Whitecaps had executed their
vengeance, the leader informing the miners
that of the band had noticed
Hague early in the evening attempt
ing to commit an assault on a girl coming
to Shamokin. Great excitement prevails
in this place and Coal township, as a
number of town people have received
warnings to stop indulging in drunken
ness and gambling or they would receive
a visit from the Whitecaps. On the OUT
skirts OF Milan night before last two white
men and negro were taken from their
cabin, tied to trees and received terrible
lashing from number of masked men
calling themselves Whitecaps.

! ALLENTOWN, Nd, Jan. 19.-This week
several notices had been posted in Ken
nedyville requesting certain citizens to go
to work and do better, and with the usual
| crossbones and skull and signed ''White-
caps" No attention was paid to the ad-
vice given, and last night the Whitecaps
attacked the house of "BilI" Ivans, ad-
| joining the railroad. The inmates were
not slow to bar the doors and windows
and call for help, which fortunately soon
| came. The rescuers were armed with
axes, forks, fence rails and guns. Shots
| were fired, but the contents missed their
mark and consequently no one was seri-
ously injured, but the explosion of the
weapons caused the Whitecaps to vacate
| the premises in great haste.

STOCK ITEMS.

The horse that can walk fast, whether
he be saddIer, driver or draft horse, al
ways commands better price than the
one equally as good in other respects but
a slow walker.
Good grades are desirable, but they
should be females. Never use q grade
male for breeding purposes. The only
way to improve the stock cheaply is to in
fuse new blood by procuring thoroughbred
males.
Many diseases of hogs are due to in
breeding. The conditions under which
our improved breeds of swine are kept
render a change to new blood" every
year as indispensable for health and
vigor.
As regards tests, this first issue for 1888
starts off pretty well, having no less than
eight good tests of Jersey COWS and all
made by farmer dairymen who keep Jer-
seys for the profit there is in them--Jer
sey Bulletin.
No man on earth can make money by
half starving stock; while he can make
money by liberal feeding. 1t is skepticism
on this point that keeps SO many stock and
dairy farmers poor, discouraged and dis
cOnsolate.-Hoard's Dairyman.
There are men in every neighborhoOd
that sell their hog crop to a disadvantage
and with more or less loss to themselves;
notably when man sells hogs at seven
months old weighing 125 pounds that are
healthy and have good frames, when
there is an abundance of good corn on the
farm that must be fed or sold.
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer as
cribes the immunity of the swine pens
from cholera to the liberal use he makes of
wood ashes. He does not think the ashes
cure or positive preventive; but his
neighbors' swine suffered severely from
cholera while his pens were entirely free
from the disease.
The best points of dairy COW can be
seen when the cows are at their best, and
then is the best time to make your selec-
tiOn. Because in the aggregate the farm
stock has paid should not be satisfactory.
It is important to know not only which
kinds Of stock but also which animals pay
the largest per cent of proft.-Dairy
World.
Dairy cows should be fed twice only a
day. The dairy COW needs rest as well as
food. She will eat more slowly, masticate
more and digest her food better if she gets
two meals at regular intervals. The meals
should be full ones. A quiet and con-
tented habit should be cultivated by the
COWS. Such habits are conducive to a
greater production.
White clover is one of the best pasture
grasses for sheep, and as it is hardy, as
well as being adapted to nearly all kinds
+ of soils, it should receive more attention
than is usually given it. Sheep are close
troopers, and dislike long grass, White
clover is rich in lime and other mineral
matter, which places it among the most
valuable kind for ewes, and especially foi
! young stock.
/ The brood sows usually preferred are
/ those that are young. This is a mistake
/ The old sows give more milk and are better
mothers. A safe rule to follow is to retaI
all sows that have successfully RAISED
/ their Htters. A sow that has been tried
and is known to be a good mother should
be retained as long as she can be made
serviceable. It is unwise to depend on un
tried, young sows.-Exchange

ExClTEp GERMANS.
The War Party Looking For a Brush With
fha ITnitBd statess

the United States
LONDON, Jan. 15.-The expressions of
American opinion in relation to Samoan
affairs, which have been widely copied in
Germany, appear to have excited among
the leading journals and prominent classes
a mingled feeling of indignation and con-
tempt Certainly the gazettes of the larger
cities are aware of the population and
wealth Of the United States, but they re-
gard the country as in ignifcant in mill
itary sense; and as only intent on trade
and the development of the unsettled pOr-
tions of its large territory. The idea that
such distant and unwarlike nation would
care to interfere with the new colonial
policy seems to Germans to be audacious
in the highest degree. Naval officers who
wish to win laurels equal to those which
their military brothers have gained on
land are hopeful of g difficulty with the
United States, and it is even regarded at
headquarters as rather desirable event
in order to give experience to the crews
and suggest future improvements in the
vessels. The Germans have some good
ships, well armed ard the men present a
sufstiehtiy smart appearance, but the lat
ter have not given any proof of seaman
shin to the world as vet.

of the river-the tugboat, One of these hos
pitfalls, or dry-docks, as they are vulgarly
called, is situate at the foot OF Mulberry
street, in Allegheny, where the limpid
wavelets of the broad Ohio lap on the re-
mantle strand-silvered over with discarded
tomato cans, and gsyly decked with the
scattered shells of long departed oysters.
When this hospital was visited yesterday it
contained but one patient. The good ship
Enterprise, which was snagged below
Georgetown not long since, and went down
to the great dismay of her owners, is at
present being treated by the skillful sur
geons of the dock. One of these gentlemen
was good enough to give a short account of
mis- patient He said:
"She is the worst case we have had for
many long day. You see she was broken
from the sta board knuckle TO the sta board
wing kelcel, a length of 62 feet and from
the ta'board knuckle to the main kelcel, a
length of % feet"
The reckless newspaper-man who had the
temerity to venture into the dock, scratched
his head over this announcement, and
vaguely remarked, "Yes, yes, see." An
account of how the patient was carried from
the scene of the accident and got into the
dock may prove interesting. The Enter
prise was submerged to three feet above her
lower deck, when the owners commissioned
Captain Sam w. Sylvis to raise her. The
Captain, who is an old hand at
such affairs, donned his divers suit
and plunged into the water. He set

when she will be moved out to make room
for one of j. F. Walton's boats now waiting
her turn
The dockmen laugh heartily at the ignor-
ance of outsiders in regard to their methods
of work.
Would you believe" one of them said,
''that a gentleman came here this morning
and expressed surprise that boat of nearly
230 tons like the Enterprise could have
been lifted into the dock by a crank. 1t
would want to be pretty good crank to lift
290 tons into place."
There are thousands of peculiarities in
the mode of treatment in river hospitals, but
unfortunately space is wanting to enlarge
upon them. Suffice it that the saw and ak
are almost unknown. The cutting of planks
is done by driving a fat wedge into the
wood, with the edges across the srain, and
then beating it down with "maul' or
hammer. The ceaseless din of these mauls
resounds through the dock all day
long; and meanwhile cautious surgeons"
are feeling every rib and sounding
every timber, to test its soundness. There
is murky picture under the rests, where
the red-shirted, swart-faced laborers fit
hither and thither through the halt light,
as the flashing torches of the caulkers light
up the dark hold for an instant and CLEAN
ruddily along the sides and through the
rent and shattered spars. Dock surgeons
require to be as skillful as their brothers of
the land hospitals, and they suffer far more
from wet and cold than do the dry-land sons
of Esculapius,

LITTLE ALLEGHENY PEOPLE.
Many of Them Have Had n Country Home
This Summer.


1t is not generally known Allegheny City
has had "fresh air fund" similar to that
conducted by the Society for the Improve
ment of the Poor, and during the season
just closed it has sent 240 children to a
country home. The organization was formed
quietly, and accomplished its work without
fuss. Yesterday report was prepared for
presentation to the Allegheny Relief So
ciety, under whose auspices the Fresh Air
Committee worked. This report is ap-
pended:
Two Allegheny ladies, interested in the work.
met with the ladies of the Allegheny Relief So
ciety and requested them to form a committee
tc take charge of fresh-air fund for the ALE
gheny children.
Such committee was formed without DELAY
and the sum of $500 placed in their hands, being
the proceeds of children's fair held at b. F.
Jones, on Lincoln avenue, and also part of the
proceeds of fair held at Cresson in the sum-
mer of 1888. and worked for by many busy little
hands in Allegheny. This fund was deposited
by the Treasurer in the Third National Bank in
Allegheny as the Fresh Air Fund.
We had given to us during the summer
s., ,636 Sc, part of this being check for $500
toward a permanent home. We have expended
s., ,030 l5 thus leaving balance TO our credit of
S6O6 II. We trust the Allegheny fresh air
tund is an established fact and will grow so
large that in the pear future the little children
will have a summer home of their own where
they can be cared for at less expense and
where every child that needs it can grow strong
among the flowers, and no child able to say I
never saw the country"
The report thanks the Captain of the
steamer Bachelor and the managers of the
P. & L. E. R. R. for free transportation for
the children.
