TWO OF a KIND.
A Wild West Yarn About senator Ingalls,
aud a Newsboy.

-
You'll notice that this long session
is not having any apparent effect on
Senator Ingalls," said a gentleman
from the far West to q Washington re-
porter in the Senate gallery the other
afternoon. There was nothing in the
Senator's appearance TO dispute the as
sertion, so the reporter assented, and
the gentleman from the West went on:
NJ used to know Ingalls, years ago.
He was thinner then than he is now,
and looked just about the same. He
lived in Atchison and had the reputa-
tion of being possessed of more brain
and less flesh than any one adult in the
State of Kansas. One day he went to
the Office of friend of his, doctor,
and while he was there a newsboy
dashed in. Now, the kids who sold
papers aI ound Atchison in those days
were the noisiest | ever heard, and the
doctors assistant, a cheerful young
student, VAS always on the alert to
shut some of them up and to prevent
them from invading the privacy of his
room with their stamping and ear
piercing yells of 'S'n Lousy papers.
The assistant had seen this par
ticular boy as he entered the building,
and in an instant had placed inside the
doorway of the Office full grown
skeleton. When the youngster threw
the door open and was midway through
one of his declsmations the skeleton
| fell over on him. With shrek that
was worse even than his regualr
street cry the boy rolled down one
flight of stairs and tumbled into the
street, and his murmurings continued
right straight along
"'You've scared that boy to his
death, exclaimed the budding Sen ator,
who was overfowing with indignation.
Then he went to the window and bend
ing ou called TO the grimy but pallid
face of the victim: Come back here,
boy; III buy some cf your papers. He
shan't hurt you
1.-The response was instantaneous.
The sobs ceased, and he shouted: mo,
you don't You can't fool me if you
have put your clothes on"

Arkansas Election.

The election In Arkansas last Monday
witnessed scenes Of violence and blood
shed which are disgrace to the age
There were two tickets in the field-the
regular Democratic ticket, headed by
Gov. Eagle, and the Farmers ticket,
supported by Democrats and Republi-
caas, HEADED by Rev. Mr. Fizer for
Governor. The beaiaerats finding that
the current of public sentiment was
against them. resorted to violence and
bl9odshed to defeat the popular will
Ballot boxes In Republican counties
were taken by force, by aeMed and
mounted Democrats, and destroyed.
Precincts where Fizef would have had a
large majority, were raided and voting
prevented. Judges of election were
eGrced from their places and others in
stalled more abedient to the will of the
Democratic mob. In this way it was
expected a great Democratic victory
would he achieged, and it was. But can
Governor Eagle, vino is o minister of
the Gospel. and reputed to be a gentle
man of high character. afford to accept
an office gotten by such brutal violence
and bloody invention, as it is reported,
characterized the action of his support
ers last Aon4agf Mr.. Fizer is also a
minister. Both are said TO bs men of
ability and great personal popularity;
yet Gov. Eagle has had his character
seriously compromised by permitting
himself to be the instrument of the mob
to rob the ballot box of it's sanctity.

Concert at the PARK

The concert at the park Friday night
last was most delightful affair. The
seats for the band and visitors were ar
ranged in circles on the rising ground
just to the right of the entrance and in
rear of the old house. The place was
well lighted by electric lights and be-
fore the concert was over the moon

light 1t is q lovely spot by moonlight.
The street car company hauled nearly
800 passengers to and from the park.
Our people are learning to appreciate
the comforts of the park as a place of
resort and recreation after the labors of
the day are ended Mr.. w. P. Tams.
who so persistently championed the
park in the city council, has placed our
entire people under obligations to him
for the wise foresight which gave birth
to the plan, and the success with which
1T has been accomplished. The park
will continue to grow in public appre-
citation, and will become NOT only an
ornament to our growing city, but a
most delightful resort at all times. Man.

pany, will continue to afford pleasant

Miss Fannie D'Alma Hunt,

| Last week we noticed u pleasant enter
tainment st the Western Lunatic Asy.
| luin in which Miss Fannie DAlma Hunt
sang several impressive and pathetic
| pieces, to the great delight of the pa
tlents and number of citizens who had
| been invited to be present OH the occa-
sion. 1t was Miss Hunts first appearance
III Staunton, and consequently we knew
nothing at all about her history or her
artistic attachments. Since then we
nave learned some of the particulars of
her lie. She is the daughter of the late
Col. Thos. H. Hunt, u native of Ken
lucky, but for many years prior to his
sudden death in New Orleans, where he
was treasurer of the Exposition. a resi-
dent of that city Col. Hunt was promi-
nent III public affairs, and we think was
appointed minister to Russia at ono
time. We cannot recall at this WRITING
whether he accepted or not. Miss Hunt
is also niece of Mrs Sallie Ward Hunt
OF Louisville, KY, AM cousin of Col
John Morgan, who was killed during
the war The death of her father left
ier penniless, and her only resource was
her excellent musical education, which
she received in Paris from the emineD
teacher, Madame Paulini Veaduet Gar
cha. sister to Malibran. She has appear
ed before the public in nearly all the
more prominent towns of the South, and
lnWashngton and Baltimore, and the
Judgment passed upon her talent both
in song and histrionic character, has
been OF the highest commentator. She
is an accomplished lady, modest and
retiring, and has entered the battle of
life to win on her merits She will
shortly appear at the Y NJ C. A. in
song, and we feel safe in promising to
those who may be fortunate enough to
be present, q pleasant entertainment,
which will amply compensate for the
time and attention given

Narrow Escane

On Saturday evening last as the train
due in Staunton at five o'clock, was
sweeping along the track four miles east
OF this place. it struck u horse and mule
hitched to wagon loaded with wood,
tearing them both literally into p;eees.
The team had gotten on the track be
fore the driver heard the train. and in
a position where it could not be backed.
The driver jumped from the wagon, and
the engine struck the mule and horse.
killing them instantly, and breaking the
tongue from the wagon, left the running
gear and load of wood by the side of the
track. The driver, whose name we did
not learn, said the engineer did not give
the usual signal, as he approached the
crossing, and as hill interviewed. he did
not see the train until it was too late 90
save his animals. He was cool and col
lected, and not the least disturbed bv
the occurrance. The train ran three or
four hundred yards before it was check
ed, when the conductor went back to
see what damage had been done. The
engine was not injured.

A Social Sensation.

An extrayagantly sensational account
of an affair at Asbury Park, N. j., was
sent to the New York press last week, in
which Mrs. Reverdy Dangerfeld, of Alex
andria, and Mr. K. G. Blunt, of Wash
ington, figured as the principal parties.
Mrs. Dangerfield was spending a few
weeks in private boarding house at
the Park-that she had ridden out with
several lady friends and gentlemen, and
to see her. When told that she was out
he went away, Leaving word that he
would come again. He did come about
II o'clock at night, when Mrs. ID. had
retired. He was SO informed by the girl
who answered the bell CALL He declared
his purpose to see her. and breaking past
the woman, entered the hail. and COM
menced kicking down the doors of cham
bers until he came to Mrs. Dangerfield's
which he entered, she being only half
dressed when he appeared. He seized
her, threw her on the bed and beat her
with chair and choked her severely
Her face was discolored and her body
bruised considerably. Blunt was arrest
ed, and Mrs. Dangerfield the next day
left the premises. No one appearing
against Blunt, he was released on pay
ing $15 fine for disturbing the peace.
Mrs. Dangerfield went to her sisters in
Washington. Mr.. Dangerfleld hearing
OF the affair and learning that his wife
was in Washington, called to see her,
the result of which was that she return
ed to her home in Alexandria.
The whole affair, it is said, was greatly
exaggerated. The only assault Blunt
made was that he seized Mrs D. by the
wrists and she resenting the familiarity,
he let her go. Blunt had been an init
mate of the Dangertield family, was a
favorite of Mr.. Dangerfield, and between
the parties the friendliest feeling existed.
Blunt was drinking heavily, and it is
assumed was crazed by liquor when he
entered the house where Mrs. d. was
stopping.
1t was at first thought there would be
something serious grow out of it. Blunt
protests that his intentions were not
criminal, and that but for liquor, he
would not have thought of acting as he
did. He, while recognizing the impro-
priety of his action, and deeply regret
ing that the name of an estimable and
virtuous woman was thus Implicated,
assumes all the responsibility and
blame of the whole affair. Further than
this he declines to talk, nor would any
of the pangerfields speak of the matter
Mr.. Dangertield is wealthy planter
who resides with his family in Alex
andria, and is noted for his courtly hos
pitality. His wife is brilliant woman
