The Sackyille Case.

A blue book on the Sackville affair has just

conduct has ceased to be of Importance,
President Cleveland, having already sent
him his passports, Lord Salisbury contra

Terrible Fight with Rats.

Owing TO the heavy rains at Ellenville, N.
T., water rats have been driven to seek refuge
In outhouses, barns or wherever they could
find shelter from the pelting rain and resist
less torrents. Agreat regiment OF hungry
looking rodents that make their homes along
the banks Of the Delaware& Hudson canal
sought refuge one day recently in an out
house adjoining the premises of Q man named
Simpson, who resides north Of here on o
knoll close by where q landslide occurred
sometime ago. Becoming hungry, the rats
left the clubhouse and boldly invading the
dwelling, attacked o babe that was lying
asleep in the cradle. The mother rushed to
the infant and tried to drive of the terocious
rats. when they at once fercely attacked her.
The woman's screams attracted the atten-
ton of Charles Jones, who has charge of the
NAH and express coach running between
here and Kingston. Selling his whip, Jones
dashed into the house, and a~horrible sight
met his gaze. Hundreds of hungry rats
with cleaning eyes were jumping wildly at a
woman, who held a bleeding infant aloft in
one arm, while with the other she tried met.

to get at the child. "1t was blood-curdling

mortal" turns that Office over to DR..

The Bismarck Tribune rounding
up the members of the legislature
as they arrive has the following to
say about our boys:
Another of the prominent council
members who arrived Yesterday was
Senator Ericsson Of Elk Point, the
handsome ~blue-eyed scandinavian
from the First district. Mr.. Eric
son is wearing a cane this winter, but
it is not because o the dignity which
that article of decoration gives. The
rheumatism has been struggling to
do what has been proven impossible
for his opponents, viz: to knock
him off his pins. His limbs are not
quite as reliable as they were two
years ago. but his head is as sound
and his smiles as sunny aud he will
be this session as he was the last,
n ofthe influential and popular
members.
The most prominent arrival yes
terday was the dignified and affable
Frank Aikens, whose candidacy for
the speakership has made him sub
ject of discussion for several weeks.
Mr.. Aikens is not saying much, but
it is understood that he is saving
wood with remarkable ~tenacity.
When the s~peakership prize is
awarded, Mr.. Aikeils will not be
very far from the judges stand.
j. V. White. the. handsome ath-
letic statesman who is returned to
the house from Clay county, came
in yesterday, and is doing his share
toward making life worth living for
the jostling throng Of lawmakers
and otlice-seekels.
Colonel Hines of Elk Point, as
deserving a gentleman as ever stood
in waiting for IN official position, is
here for the office of enrolling clerk
and lis ease is in the hands of Sem
ator Ericsson.
NJ. B. Kent, the immortal singer
of Elk Point, Union county, came
in on the noon train. Captain Kent
is one OF the best clerks ever con-
nected with , legislative body.
The festival and supper given by
the ladies OF the M. Il. church at the
new church building last Friday ev-
ening, was largely attended by our
people and was a complete success
in every respect. Between six and
eight o'clock the five large tables
seemed to be full all the time with
people enjoying the delicious viands
set before them. The supper was
all that the most fastidious epicure
could wish, which included oysters,
all kinds Of cold meats, cakes and
pies, doughnuts, bread and butter,
pickles, jel les, and the best Of cof-
fee, all in abundance. After all
who desired had satisfied their hun
CRY appetites, there was plenty of
provisions left, and it was announc-
ed that the ladies would give a din
ner Saturday noon for the small
sum Of ten cents. The total receipts
$74 from the supper Friday
evening and SIC from the dinner
noon, making in all $50.
After paying all expenses there was
left in the treasury Of the society
S7S.45. Fifty dollars OF this win be
used to pay for the two handsome
six lamp chandeliers just put up in
the4chusch, and the balance for 9TH
necessary expenses in fitting up the
new church building.
