The Democracy of Erie County has nominated a
local ticket which " The Buffalo Express pro-
nounces ideally bad' If it is that sort of ticket
then obviously it will match the Assembly ticket
bearing the name of Mr.. Sheehan, of ceiling noto-
riety. which the Democrats of the ISt Erie District
have placed in the field. 1t ought to be uncom-
monty easy for the Erie Republicans to carry the

II is not to be supposed that deliberate at
tempt has been made in any quarter to cause
a panic among the students of Yale or their
parents by exaggerated statements about an
outbreak of typhoid fever at the university.
The fact is however, that reckless assertions,
based on information gathered in the air and
not from the medical authorities, have been put
into circulation. and that no little anxiety has
been the consequence. The simple truth Is
that the college community is in condition OF
excellent health, and that no cause for alarm
has existed now exists, or is to be apprehended
1t is evident from the character and proceed
ings Of the meeting at the Grand Opera House
last evening that the Citizens movement is
not to be a flash in the pan. The gather
ing was actuated by a worthy purpose to be
instrumental in saving this city from the mis-
fortunes which the absolute supremacy OF
Tammany Hall would bring upon it. The
ticket placed in nomination confirms our favor
able estimate Of the sincerity Of the men who
have undertaken to provide a way by which
the yoke Of Tammany may be thrown off.
This movement by itself, can accomplish little,
but if all the elements Of opposition to the
state Of affairs which now exists and the worse
state which is threatened should find means to
compose their differences and enter upon a
united campaign for the single purpose of over
throwing cur municipal oligarchy, they would
be iustihed in expecting to accomplish their
desire. Within few days the fate of the
Citizens movement will be disclosed. In the
meantime, it offers a gratifying assurance Of
good faith and determinations
MIR. GIadstone's ng-heralded address which
was expected to be an exposition OF the prin-
ciples which should animate and control the
Liberal policy of the future, was delvered-at
Southport yesterday, but its short and inclsive
treatment of current political affairs contained
no disclosure of a new Home Rule programme
but, on the contrary, a frank announcement
that Mr. Gladstone was not prepared to pro-
claim any fresh policy. Yesterdays speech
indicates, however, that Mr.. Gladstone has
lost none of his firm and abiding faith III
the ultimate success of the Home Rule
cause, and is an indication, moreover, that no

The report Of Tuesdays proceedings Of the In
ternational Marine Conference, now in session at
Washington, intimated that there WIS disappoint-
ment and disaffection because of the delay of the
Committee on Lights to report. This question, as
is also that of fog signals, is of the biggest
problems that the Conference has to work out,
as no doubt the committee has concluded. The
inadequacy of the present system of lights. by
which it is attempted to indicate to one vessel at
night the that another vessel is Steerng has
long been recognized by all maritime powers.
And in fog it has been demonstrated that no
light, not even an electric light, can be seen a
hundred feet distant The insuficiency of the
present system is proved by the frequency Of
collisions on clear nights, and when all the lights
prescribed by law are burning brightly. 1t
is, therefore, probable that the committee having
this matter in hand is making thorough investi-
CATION of all suggestions with the object of pre-
senting plan that will secure for it universal
adoption.

 TIE most pathetic story of the season thus far is that of poor old hen in Michigan that has been trying for seven weeks with all the energy of, despair to hatch out something from a lump of dried putty, three black wa1nuts and glass marble. She is worn to a shadow, but her spirit is unconquerable, and she seems determined to sit it out on that line if it takes all winter.

Chains and Lead Fired From a Cannon-A Running Fight of Three Days-One Set tier snd Two Robbers Shot From Their
 Saddles Before the Desperadoes Sur rendered.
 CHEYENNE, Wy, Dec. 12. - Kettle
 Jacks gang of thieves and cut-throats
 is broken up A report comes of the
 hanging of eleven of them and the driving out of the country of the rest oi | them.
 Kettle Jack and four companions first appeared in the country equipped for prospecting, They established a ren- dezvous ill an isolated valley high up on
 the mountains, and lived like barbar- ians.
 Finally they were reinforced and be- gan to plunder the settlers. At first they only slaughtered beef and stole food, but becoming bolder, ran horses into Utah and Montana. A farmer named Benjamin, with his two sons, followed the gang but were shot down and left to rot on the trail. The thieves became so strong that they ran things to suit themselves. Some time ago hot battle occurred, when Kettle Jack forced the handsome daughter of leading citizen into mar rlage. l he father headed reSculng party, but the citizens were repulsed with two killed and number wounded. The outlaws retired to the mountains for a protracted debauch. They fre- quently quarrelled, and the leader gem orally settled the matter with his un- errihg rife.
 Jack startled the neighborhood by is- suing notice that he intended to es- 1 tablish monarchy, with himself as king. The determined settlers organ iZed themselves to fight this move to the death. A troop of 200 men were or ganized at a central point and forced march was made to the stronghold of the outlaws.
 Jack and his mon were in waiting, and intended to let the party get into close range before firing. The settlers had fashioned a rude cannon. and from it fired chains and lead into the outlaws camp.
 The surprised gang fled, leaving behind them lot of plunder and four dead and several wounded. A running fight of three days ensued. One settler and two robbers were shot from their saddles. The citizens had the better horses and were fitted for a chase, while the deSperadoes were un- prepared.
 The consequence was that they were overtaken and eleven of their number hanged and the rest driven out of the country.
 Kettle Jack was so-called because of duel he once fought with an Indian chief in which he used camp-kettle for shield.
