AUDACIoUs ROBBERY.

Vitriol Thrown In "a Mans Eyes on the
Street, and He Is Conveyed to the Woods
and Relieved of Drafts for $4,000.
MINNEAPoLIs, MIMI, July s.-The
boldest most successful and most reck-
less highway robbery ever attempted in
this city occurred in the glaring light of
day last Tuesday morning, and has
just come to light. Henry Hage
came here to be married, Tuesday
morning. Hage left the house for the
purpose of getting shaved. He found
no one at the shop, and started
homeward. Soon afterward him he was
accosted bya stranger who told he was
a barber, and would take him to his
house and shave him. Hage accompanied
him. and they had proceeded but short
distance, when the newly-made ac-
quaintance dashed a quantity of vitriol
in Hage's face. Hage was then taken
out in the woods by the robber and his
accomplices. After robbing him of
about $4,000, the brutes bound him
hand and foot and tied him to tree
Hage remained in the woods, uncon-
scious, bound and helpless, for three
days. Friday he succeeded in freeing
himself and wandered home. He has
not yet regained consciousness, and
may become permanently deranged.
There is no clew to the thieves. The
$50, 600 of which he was robbed was in
the form of two negotiable drafts, one
on Milwaukee and the other on New
York bank.

OKLAHOMA'S FIRST FOURTH.
Fall of a Stand Occupied by a Thou.
sand People.
Several Are Fatally injured and Many
Seriously Wounded.

OKLAHOMA, July 5.--The Fourth Of
July festivities were brought to sad
ending at 8 p. m. by the falling of the
grand stand, with its living load of hu-
man beings. Nearly 1000 people had
secured seats to witness the races, when,
without warning, the structure fell,
burying the mass of people beneath
1t. The cries and groans of the
injured people soon filed the air,
and 1t was feared that scores of lives
had been lost. Almost as soon as the
accident occurred the militia, under COM
mand Of Captain Stiles, We're ordered to
the scene and rendered valuable service.
Incredible as it may seem, 1T was found
when the victims were taken out that
none were dead, though several were
fatally and many badly injured. The
only death thus far isthat of the eigh-
teen-months-old child of DIR. j. A. Ryan.
of Jimtown, l. r., which died short
time after the accident. One of the most
seriously injured is Mrs. L. ii. Martin
dale, of Hows, Texas. Mrs. Mollie
Campbell, of PEARLS Valley, /. T., also
received serious internal injuries, which,
it is feared, will prove fatal. Herbert
Clover, aged eighteen, will also proba-
bly, die. Much Indignation is expressed
against the architect who superintended
the building of the grand stand.

A NEW IRELAND

To he Established in America--Plans for
the Formation of u Republic by the
Residents and Descendants of the Down
| Trodden Land.
CHICAGO, July GA number of prom
inent Irish-Americans held q private
meeting yesterday afternoon and per-
fected an organization to be known as
the Irish-American Republic Associa-
tion, and an election of officers was held.
1t is the intention of the projectors of
the above-named association to or
ganize land syndicate, composed
of influential and wealthy Irish
men, send representatives to Can
ada, Chilli, Peru and Mexico.
The latter country, it is understood,
would be willing to dispose of Lower
California or neighboring State, un-
der certain conditions, with the privil-
ege of establishing an rishAmerican
Republic thereon. The money eXpend-
ed on improvements, necessaries and
land will be secured by mortgage, with
out interest or at very low rate of in
terest, and will be collected in small an
nual installments, the same as rent.
This money will be utilized to build and
equip navy, organize an
army, develop the resources of
the country and establish Re-
public. Said one of the men interested
in the movement: SHOULD Canada land
be secured, an effort will be made to
colonize it with 100000 Irish and
Irish American farmers. This number
of Irishmen, with the addition of the
Irish already in Canada and the assist
ance of the French-Canadian element,
would, it is, thought, be able to cap
ture the Canadian Government and con-
vert it into powerful Franco-Irish
Republic. The only opposition expect
ed as likely to occur to the formation
of a Franco-Irish Republic will be in the
Province of Ontario. This opposition,
however, will be suppressed by throwing
the disatfected portion of this Province
into the American Union. When once
within the jurisdiction of the United
States the Neutrality laws will keep the
inhabitants in check and compel them
to become reconciled to their situation.
But should England dispute the author
ity # her Franco-Irish subjects to as
sumo exclusive control of Canadian
affairs and declare war against them,
the Neutrality laws would not prevent
the enormous emigration of Irishmen
from this country to Canada.

A. Passenger Train Goes Down in WASH
Out-Thirty Livos Lost and Nearly
Hundred Persons Injured.
LYNoHBURe, VA, July ga fearful
accident occurred on the Norfolk and
Western railroad yesterday morning,
thirty-one miles above the city. Rain
had been falling almost continuously,
and ut times very heavily, for twenty
four hours, swelling the mountain
streams greatly beyond their normal
state. AT the place of the accident the
water had undermined the roadbed
and caused washout about eighty
feet long and fifty feet wide. The
water at this point was eight to ten feet
deep. Into this watery gulch the engine
made frightful leap while running at
the rate of thirty miles an hour, carry
ing with it the tender and eight cars
AS the engine struck bottom the rushing
of the water into the locomotive ex-
ploded the boilers This fact greatly
augmented the catastrope. Debris was
thrown in every direction by the force
of the explosion, injuring some of those
on the train by flying fragments and
scattering firebrands which ignited the
woodwork of the coaches. The flames
spread and destroyed large amount Of
mail and express matter, besides spread
ing panic among the already terror
stricken passengers. 1t is supposed that
some of the passengers were unable to
extricate themselves from the wreck and
were consumed in the flames, but it is
difficult to get accurate information, as
the employees of the Norfolk and West
ern railroad refuse to give information
to the public. 1t is impossible to state
the number of people killed, but the
most reliable estimate places it at be-
tween twenty five and thirty. The
number of wounded will be far in ex-
cess of the number killed.

BLOODY BATTLE
Between a Lot of Alabama Crap
Players.
A Colored Desperado Kills Two Men,
Wounds Three Others and Is Him
self Riddled with Bullets.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July Sat Gates
City, six miles from Birmingham, yes
terday morning Henry Nichols, col
ored gambler, shot and killed two men,
wounded three others and was himself
riddled with bullets. A crowd of negroes
were shooting craps in the woods, and
Nichols and johnson White quarreled
over the game. Nichols drew his pistol
and shot White in the thigh. He then
backed away, keeping his gun leveled
at the crowd. As soon as he
was out of sight the other negroes
hurried to Gate City and boardeda train
for Birmingham, thinking Nichols
would get on the same train at some in
termediate station. AT the first station
this side of Gate City Nichols boarded
the train with his revolver in his hand
As he entered the door of the car he
caught sight of the pursuing party and
at once opened fire. The fire was re-
turned, and about twenty shots were
fired. Jack Saunders was shot through
the head and killed; Bob Gibson was
shot through the lungs and killed.;
Will Smith was wounded in the hand;
Jack Clancy. white brakeman on the
train, was struck by three stray balls
and badly wounded After Nichols had
shot Saunders and Gibson dead in
the car, the negroes in the pursuing party
recovered their nerve and riddled the
desperate with balls and buckshot. He
fell dead from the platform of the car,
his head and face torn in shrcds by
load of buckshot. The shooting
created the widest excitement among
the passengers on the train. Johnson
White, the first man shot by Nichols, it
is reported last night, will die of his
wound. He came near bleeding to death
before physician reached him. Jack
Clancy, the white brakeman who was
hit during the fight on the train, was
taken to his home in the country
and his condition can't be learned. He
was shot through the body, ana may die.
Scott Dunn, a negro who was passen-
ger on the train, says the conductor
fired the first shot at Nichols after the
latter had killed Saunders and Dickson,
but other witnesses say no one fired
shot except the negroes. Jack Saunders
was armed with double -barreled shot
gun, and after he was shot through the
head he struggled to his feet and tried
to shoot Nicholas, but fell dead with the
gun in his hands.

BUYING DAIRY STOCK.
A Few Valuable Hints For Beginner
The Selection of Calves.

Few Valuable Hints For Beginncrs--
| The Selection of Calves.
How to stock up dairy is one of the
problems that no man can solve for the
fellow that has to do it, He must be
able to take every thing into considera-
tion that surrounds him and act ac-
cordingly. II he is young man and
has but little money, which is really
the best condition for him, then he
must begin easy with young calves.
Pick them out with all the care you
can, seeing that they have small heads
and long necks in proportion to their
bodies. Examine the embryo teats
very carefully to see that they are
of good size and set well apart.
Out of fye COWS raised in this way, if
you have reasonably good luck, you
will get two or three fair mixers, while
those that do not milk well enough to
pay for their keep and the labor you
put on them, being young will fattcn
cheaply and can be turned off to the
butcher. This method of building up a
dairy is very slow. requiring two or
three years to get undcr profitable
management. This time, however, is
of finestimable value to the young begin
ner In this way he gets his expert
ence without its costing him too much.
If tbe~e is money enough on hand to
buy cows to begin with, then the ques-
tion arises how are you to secure the
good profitable COWS. This is one of
the hardest things in the world to do.
Those that have good cows do not care
to sell them, and if they were willing
to let you for a reasonable considera-
tion go into the herd and take your
pick, would you know how to make
that pick? We think not. The very
man who owns or milks them does not
know one from the other so far as a
years profitable milking or butter
making is concerned. The whole busi-
ness must be after the nature of leap
in the dark. For this reason the best
plan is TO buy springing heifers as
rule, with few sprinkling of young
cows about to calve. You run the risk
of not getting profitable animals, but
you do know what to do with them if
they prove failures. The man who
buys simply to milk and fatten, that is
to turn off SO soon as the milk flow
gets short, will probably make more
money than the regular breeder and
dairyman, but it is not SO satisfactory
in the long run.-American Dairyman.

Which Young People Lose Their Lives.
PITTsBURGH, July 5.-A sad accident
happened at the picnic of the Arch-street
Methodist Episcopal Church of Allie
gheny City at Forest Grove. on the
Pittsburgh and Western railroad, by
which five young people were drowned.
Their names are: Jennie Burnton, aged
eighteen years; May Royal, aged six
teen years; Ida Cassiday, aged twenty.
two years: Fannie McComb, aged about
eighteen years, and Bert Freeman, aged
twenty years. The five named, together
with Edward Shaffer, took an old barge
and started for a ride on Connaquenes-
sing creek. The stream was very turbu-
lent, and the barge capsized, throwing
the occupants into the water. Young
Shaffer succeeded in reaching the shore,
but the others were down before assist
ance could reach them. The victims
were all members of the Sunday-school,
and lived in Allegheny City. Their
bodies have not been recovered.

Some Conclusions About Cream.

l. That milk when fresh is perfect
emulsion, the fat globules being free
aud without an envelope.
2. That the chief differences in the
composition of normal milks are due
to variations in the amount of fat, the
remainder of the milk, known us the
milk serum. being quite uniform in
composition in all milks. The vari-
alton in the amount OF serum solids.
in milk from the same COW, is rarely
more than one-half per cent in milk,
from different cows of different hreeu.
ing not more than p per cent This
holds true even when the fat varies as
much as z Or per cent.
8. That milk contains principle
analogous to or identified with blood
fibrin which is capable of spontaneous
coagulation. the clots of which en-
tangle the fat globules and to a con.
siderable extent prevent an efficient
Dreaming.
4. That the most efficient creaming
is obtained when conditions are sup
piled which retard or prevent the
coagulation OF fibrin. This may, in
practice, be best accomplished by set.

In cold water (ce water is best), the

other metal that can easily be kept
