:TLE JACK HORNER.

Penchant for plums.
Most people have been made &C.
quainted in the nursery with
Little Jack Horner,
Who sat in d corner,
Eatins Christmas pie,
Put in his thumb
And pulled out p UNI,
And SAID: what u brave boy am II"
This individual was not myth, but
a real parsonage. Tradition furnishes
the following story of the fortunate
fellow: When Henry VIII. suppressed
the monasteries and drove the poor old
monks from their nests the title-deeds
of the abbey of Mells-including the
sumptuous grange built by Abbot Bell
wood-were demanded by the commits
sioners. Tie Abbot of Glastonbury de-
termined that he would send them to
London, and as the documents were
very valuable and the road infested by
thieves. it was difficult to get them to
the metropolis safely. To accomplish
this end, however. he devised the fol-
lowing plan:
AAO OIuOlOo a. plO w 10 uldQ0-ctS uF0
as ever smoked on refectory table;
inside he put the documents-the
finest filing pie ever had since pies
were first made, and he intrusted this
dainty to lad named Horner to carry
up to London eto deliver safely into
the hands for whom it was intended.
But the journey waA SO long and the
day cold, and the boy was hungry,
and the pie was tempting and the
chance of detection was small.
So the boy broke off a
piece of pie and beheld parchment.
He pulled it forth innocently enough,
wondering how it could have reached
there, tied up in pastry, and arrived
in town. The parcel was delivered,
but the title-deeds of Mells abbey es-
tate were missing. Jack had them in
his pocket. These were the juiciest
plums in the pie. Great was the rage
of the commissioners; heavy the ven-
geance they dealt out to the monks.
Jack kept his secret, and when peace
able times were restored claimed the
estates and received them. Whether
Mr.. Horner deserves the title of good
boy" bestowed on him by the nursery
lament, is more than doubtful; how
ever. that's the story.-Troy Times.

NEWARK, N. j., July 30.-The most
disastrous storm that has visited this
vicinity occurred this afternoon and
evening. In this city cellars were
flooded and sewers bursted. Work had
to be suspended in the factories in the
lower section. A washout occurred on
the Morris & Essex railroad at
South Orange, and trains were
delayed for many hours. In
South Orange several buildings,
including the postoffice, were carried
away, and 250 barrels of -four were
washed out of one storehouSe. In Or
ange valley the water Is up" to the Sec
Ond story windows, and great damage
has been done to the stock in the numer-
GUS hat factories there. People were
compelled to paddle around on planks
and to swim in order to get to places OF
safety on high ground. Bloomfield and
Montclair also report great damage to
property. No lives are known to have
been lost. The create alarm pre-
walls around Milburn. Above it Is
the Orange water reservoir dam,
which is not regarded as safe. Should
it burst, it would overflow Millburn and
other small towns along the Railway
river, of which it is the source, and the
damage would reach as far as Railway.
At II O'clock tonight the dam was re-
ported all right, but the inhabitants OF
the towns were preparing to move to
high ground. Nearly every road In the
country is impossible, as all the bridges
have been washed away.

TALKS LIKE A LUNATIC.

BIRMINGHAM. July 30.-Lord Ran
dolph Churchill made speech here to-
night. he said that the Conservative
party in Birmingham ought to receive
larger recognition than the dissidents
appeared willing to accord. The elec-
tions ought not to proceed on the
principle of men before measures. The
conservatives had right to ask the
dissid ents to define decisively the plat
form on which the latter appealed to the
electors. Otherwise the dissidents
could not expect the Conservatives to
vote for the policies. which apart from
unionism, the Conservative party would
strongly and even desperately oppose.
If the Conservatives chose to exert
themselves, they would carry more
than half the seats in Bi r
mingham. Referring to the many
remedies proposed for the pre-
Yaiiing dIsc9ntent lssI in al ireland,
final solution of the question,
an imperial loan of not less
than 4l0e,O00,00O to enable ten
ants to buy their holding, local
bodies controlling the rate-collected rev.
enues to become security for the pay
ment of the loan. He pointed out that
this scheme made 1t necessary that Ire

ment.

LONDON, July 31.-The Standard, in
commenting ON the speech made by
Lord Randolph Churchill at Birming-

subject for six consecutive weeks. The

AFRAID OF YANKEE GUNS.
Particulars of the Capture of the
Piratical Sealer Black Dia-

PIratICaI SeaIer BLACK Dla-
mond.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 3O.-The
steamer Dora arrived from Behring's
sea last night and brings the first de-
tailed news of the capture of the British
sealer Black Diamond by the United
States revenue cutter Richard Rush.
July II the Rush overlook the Black
Diamond and ordered her to heave to-.
The captain of the Black Diamond re-
fused to obey the order. Thereupon the
commander of the Rush ordered low
ering of ports and the guns were ran
out. This action caused the schooner to
heave to. Capt. Shepard and Lieut..
Tuttle then boarded the English ship
and asked for her papers. The
officers of the Black Diamond Of
fered no armed resistance. but re-
fused to deliver the ships papers.
Capt. Shepard at once broke open the
cabin and forced the hinges off the
thereby securing the popers. A search
of the vessel disclosed 103 sealskins,
which had been taken in Behring's sea.
Capt. Shepard placed a non-commis-
stoned officer in charge of the Black
Diamond and ordered the vessel to be
taken to Sitka to await further in
structions. The captain of the Black
Diamond made the statement that when
in Victoria he had been ordered to pay
no attention to the Rush in case he was
overhauled by her. He said he would
not have surrendered If the Rush had
had force inferior to his own. A pas
senger on the steamer Dora says that on
the way down from st. Paul's Island
the Rush was seen in close pursuit of
six sealers, and that additional captures
have undoubtedly been made by this
time.

Bridgelight was first under the whip,

CORNER IN CORN.
Capt. OrthWin HI ST. Louis Shorts
by the Throat.

ST. LOUIS. July 3O.-A squeeze in
corn developed in the local market to-
day, though there have been fears felt
for several days past that cornerwas
starting. When w. Orthwin, of Ortiz
win Bros, began bidding for spot No. 2
corn on tO-day's cash corn and finally
rushed the price up to 311z cents, the
fears became certainty, and the
shorts began to look grave and feel
nervous. Floor talk had it that Ortiz
win Bros. were the longs, and s. w.
Cobb q Co. the principal shorts in July
corn, and that the actual shortage was
about 100000 bushels. S. w. Cobb.
when told that his firm was supposed to
be the chief shorts, remarked:
1--WE do not owe more than 25, 600 or 30,-
600 bushels, as we have July corn coming
to us and owing. We are really in the gap"
1t IS understood several country
houses-cOmmIss frms-are short of
this corn. Tomorrow is the last day of
the month, and the deal will then cul-
inmate. Still higher prices are prOba-
bic, unless the shorts step up to Capt.
Orthwin's desk and settle before the
call,

oNONDAG'Os OFFSPRING
Take Race and Place in the Third
Event

For the third race Grace Ely was a
hot fayorite at even money with Taral
up,with Spring Dance well supported at
9 to 1. Henry Mack, under Ray, had a
good many friends at to 1. and Vale
dictory was thought good enough to
handle at 10 to by large delegation
of Californians. Grace Ely looked the
pink of perfection when she showed up
for preliminary spin, and hundreds of
dead game sports went full length on
her.
When the flag fell Grace had the lead
by neck from Spring Dance, with Bob
Ricketts, leading the field close up at
third. Taral knew he couldn't afford
to do any waiting with some
of the horses participating in the race,
start, Spring Dance keeping right on his
heels for threequarters of the race. At
the quarter the order was the same as
regarded the leaders. with Bob Ricketts,
fourth, Westanna fifth, and Lucille and
Valedictory in tie bringing up the
rear. At the half the order was still
the same, but nearing the stretch Ray
got up in the leather and piled both
whip and spur, the lightning-like mo-
ton of the little colored riders wicked
right arm showing to what severe pun
ishment the chestnut colt was sub
jected. Taral thought he had
the race, ard did not whip
until ten lengths from the
finish when Henry Mack was right
upon him. and coming like flash to
first. the chestnut went by the stand
winner by nose, Grace Ely second,
Springdance third, Bob Ricketts, fourth,
Westanna fifth, Lucille sixth. Time,
1:O34. Spring Dance lost good deal of
motion by cutting up at the post, break
ing away twice, and otherwise misbe-
having himself.

question agitating the minds of the
spectators was not who would win, but
which would fall off first. Of the four
Barnum seemed to be the favorite, with
Riddleman for second choice. At the
start Barnum took the lead, with Ehle
Allen in the leather. Duke. under Howe,
second, and Riddleman, under Open
helm, third. At the quarter Daisy was
ten lengths to the rear and hopeleSSly
out of the race, Duke having gone to
first, Oppenheim's mount to second,
while Barnum was kicking up the dust
at third. At the half Duke with his 100
pounds up had dropped back to third,
Riddleman going to first place, and
Barnum second. At the finish, the
order was Riddleman first and just
about cooked; Duke second, done brown
with the enormous weight he was car.

for the twenty sixth round. and the men re-
samed their tactics of circling aroundin the
center of the ring, making no pretense OF
lighting.
At the end of the twenty-seventh
round the referee stepped into the ring
and said it was clearly apparent the
men could not go on with the fight.
He said he did not know what was
the matter with the men, but the club
never did and never would declare a
draw. He would not allow the men to
stand around doing no fighting. He
would simply declare the fight post
poned, and in the meantime the direct
OrS would take measures to find out
what was the matter with the men.
