By United Press.

CATLETTsBURG, Ky. April 90 90
Frank Phillips was killed Saturday
on Peter creek by Col w. S. Smith,
formely of the confederate army.
Phillips had previously met Smith and
threatened to kill him because he sent
his phillips father to prison during
the war, and causing his death,
Smith persuaded Phillips that this
was not true and Phillips went away.
A few hours later, however Phillips
went to Smiths house and shot him,
as he lay bed, intlicting slight
wound. He supposed he had killed
him and left the premises, Smith
found out that Phillips was under
indictment for murder in Logan
county, w. Va, and went there pro-
curing a requisition, returned and
organized a posse to arrest him.
They found Phillips on Peter Creek
Saturday, and it is supposed that he
resisted arrest, but all that is definite
ly known, is that he was shot and
killed, Phillips was active in driving
out the Hattields, and it was for kill
ing two of that gang that he was in
dicted in West Virg inia.

He Played Drnw Poker.

Hon. Henry Watterson. the brilliant
editor of the Louisville Courier.J Jour.
nal, delivered lecture in Memphis,
Tenn, a few evenings ago, the whole
gist of which was that the danger that
threatens America is plutocracy.
Not material prosperity said the
eloquent editor, but mortal right
must rule the world,and plutocracy is
moral death, bringing, not perhaps,
but inevitably disaster and ruin to
any nation Were it reigns." A Mem
phis dispatch states that after the lee
ture Mr. Watserson, engaged with
some friends inJ. social game of draw
poker" fer which he is accr, dited
with having great fondness, and be-
fore retiring from the game had lost
$1,000. Of this $500 was lost on a
single hand. The editor tried to bluff
on short straight" which he really
didn't have, and his opponent, who
did have straight. "called" him, aud
Gown went the editor to the bottom
of the sea.

A Human PhenOm enOn.

M. de Quatrefages, a French natural
list, recently examined one of the most
remarkable human curiosities ever seen.
The man, Simon A!quier by name, is a
Provencal 30 years of age. Aiquier,
thanks to his peculiar system of muscles
and nerves, can transform himself in
most wondrou3 fashion. He has very
properly dubbed himself "L'Homme
Protee." At ore moment assuming the
rigidity of Il statue, his body may be
struck SHARPLY, the blows falling as on a
blocl; Of stone. Atanother he moves his
Mtestines from above and below and right
to left into the form of large foot ball
and projects it forward. which gives him
the appearance of a colossally stout per-
sonage. He then withdraws it into the
thorax, opening like cave, and the hol-
low look Of his body Immediately re-
minds one of a skeleton. Aiquier sue
cessfully initiates man subjected TO the
tortures Of the rack, as also Il man hang
ing himself, and assumes cadaverous
look. What most astOnished NJ. de
Quatrefages was the stoppage of the cir
culation of the blood, now on the left
and now on the right side, which was
effected by muscular contraction.

JOHN BOYLE OREILLY. after many adj
ventures reached the United States. He
began work on The Boston Pilot, the pa
per with which he was connected at the
time of his death. His literary career,
therefore, dates from his arrival in
America. He first attracted attention by
his original and powerful ballads of Aus
tralian life. The amber Whale"
"Dukite Snake" DOG Guard" mon
ster Diamond" king of the Vase" and
others following in quick succession
showed to the world of readers that
new and virile singer had come to be
heard. OF his later efforts one of the
best is undoubtedly the poem on Plym-
outh rock and the Puritans. A short ex-
tract shows its strength and beauty:
Here, on this rock and on this sterile SOIL
Began the kingdom not Of kings, but men;
Began the making of the world again.
Here centuries sank, and from the hither brink
A new world reached and raised an old world link,
When English hands, by wider vision taught,
Threw down the feuda bars the Normans brought,
And here revived, in spite of sword and stake
Their ancient freedom of the Wapentake!
Here struck the seed-the Pilgrims roohess town,
Where equal rights and equal bonds were set,
Where ell the people equal franchised met;
Where doom writ of privilege and crown;
Where human breath blew all the idols down;
Where crests were naught, where vulture flags
were furled
And common men began to own the world!
