later discovered an intrigue between
French and his wife, and he then joined
the Eversole faction and exposed French $
plot to kill Joe Eversole. Then war was
declared between the factions.
The first killing occurred in June, 1886.
French and a party were returning

Labrador In Winter.

If there be anything like social or
home life in Labrador it exists exclus-
lively in the long frozen night of the win
ter. Then the entire inhabitants retire
from the bowling coast to winter quar-
ters within the trifling shelter of spruce
forests and protecting river crags, and
from their burrows of sod and huts of ice
sally forth in their sledges or cOmetiGues
to visit" each other in their storm-swe1t
settlements for distances of hundreds of
miles. These trips are made over the
'glistening snow at the rate Of sixty to
one hundred miles day, by the aid Of
their gaunt and ferocious dogs, which
are kept in submission by that cruellesb
Esquimau whip. Its handle is not foot
long, but its lash is often 40 feet in
length, and the drivers are so skilled in
its use that piece can be struck out Of
"leader" or guide" dogs ear at dis
lance Of from thirty to forty feet.
These dogs, fully 100 of which saw
at Hopedale, are simply a species Of
partly domesticated wolves. They are
fed on fish once each day. In the sum-
mer they are sources of endless terror
about the coast settlements; but life
would be impossible here without their
use in winter. These visiting tours are
marked by the most prodigal hospitality,
and a good deal Of rude pleasure, indeed,
all these far away humans in any man.

life is an endless round of inane sodden
fruitlessness at best. The summer is
passed in a scourging effort for winters

prevent death by cold and hunger,
These human animals seem simply born
to exist, be robbed, and to die. One
turns from the slightest glimpse of land
and people heartsick from irrevocability

Over . Hundred Houses In n salt W atof
BAY of OLA Virginia.
Away over in the extreme northeast
corner of the State of Virginia is the
most curious city ever seen. That entire
corner of the State has for time out OF
mind been owned by the Franklin
family. The land was absolutely OF
no use, but that part of the estate under
water was good for oysters, the flavor OF
which made them famous.
For nearly so years every one and any
one who wanted to helped themselves
to the bivalves. 1t was not, in fact, I'm.
til after the death of the original owner
that any effort was made to make any
money out Of the only product OF the
property.
From that timc on the boom in Frank.

hundred odd houses. Every house stands
on piles, and is from three to four feet
above the surface Of the ground. The
best and most pretentious structure OF
the city is huge frame hotel, at which
the rates are seven cents day, with a
liberal reduction for permanent boarders
and families
One of the most curious things are the

Coral ard Its Flnders.

At the present day coral is most largely
exported to such countries as Abyssinia,
the Congo, the Cape. India and Ceylon,
Siberia, China. and Japan. The choicest
pieces are used for the buttons of Chi
nese mandarins or for ornamenting the
turbans of rich Mussulmans, while the
inferior qualities sent to less civilized
countries are employed for various pur-
poses. Coral has been often used as
money in some quarters, but that use of
it is now declining. Barbarous and semi
civilized people employ it largely for Or
namenting arrows, lances, and pixies, ard
also for decorating corpses before inter-
ment. Prices have varied much of late
years, a rapid decline in value having
taken place owing to the scarcity OF good,
and the comparative abundance OF infe'
rior qualities.
Besides the loss accruing to the fisher.
men the present state of things Is very
seriously affecting the large number OF
people employed in preparing the cora
for use. There has been great decline
in the number of women thus engaged

parties traversed the mountains and
every man carried a rifle if he stepped
out of his door. More than one desper-
ate encounter ensued.
Last spring determined effort to
bring the principal outlaws to trial was
resolved upon. The old indictments
were taken from their pigeon holes, and
the word went forth that the majesty of
the law was to be indicated. A few
days previous to the date set for hold
ing court, a party of outlaws entered
Hazard, took possession OF the court
house, and by the aid of kerosene and
torch, burned it to the ground. No
effort could be made to save the build
ing. as riflemen stood ready to shoot
any body that approached it. 1t was
deemed by the outlaws that the evidence
and indictments in the case had been
destroyed, but it seems that they were
mistaken, as they had been deposited in
fire proof safe and were saved.
This lawless act brought on the inter.
vention of the State authorities. BY the
Governors orders, twenty-five men OF
the Second Kentucky regiment, under
command of Captain Gather, were de-
tailed to assist in protecting the court
and arresting the outlaws. The court
was convened August 8, and during {
months session the grand jury has
brought in 1872 indictments.
Sixteen of the outlaws are confined ii
Winchester Jail, and the four leader
were sent to Frankfort peaitentiary.

THE RIVER KING.
A Chicago Syndicate Propose to Buy the Great
Three-Year-old FL Rio Rey.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.l
CHICAGO, March ia syndicate OF
Chicagoans is negotiating with Theodore
Winters, the owner, for the purchase OF
the mighty three-y ear-old Ell Rio Rey, and
if successful the champion horse of his age
will race under Garden City colors this
season Upon Ell Rio Rey's arrival at
Nashville from the east last week, the
Chicago men sent veterinary south to
examine the racer. He reported the great
son of Norfolk and Marian to be in first
class condition, with every promise OF up
holding as i three year old his unblemlshed
record OF last summer. The colt had been
seriously Ill with pneumonia at west
chester during the fall but his sickness
had no effect, according the doctor, on his
speed, nor would it interfere in any way
with his running ability. Meanwhile the
syndicate had been in communication with
| Winters. He was averse to opening
negotiation for the great colt, but finally
consented to name price and said his
| figures would be high enough to deter the
| ChicagOans from proceeding further in the
matter. Saturday Winters terms were re
ceived here. The value he placed upon ri
Rio Rey is not positively known, and will
not be until the gentlemen Interested meet
to accept or decline the offer 1t was
broadly hinted however, that the figure
was 100000, and that within few days
the famous racer would become the prop
erty of the Garden City horsemen.
If the deal is made Ell Rio Rey
will be the most costly thorough
bred that ever changed hands. Good
| judges say that even this wonderful animal
is not worth 100000 when the chances of
breaking down are considered, but the in
tending purchasers have been at work with
tab and pencil. The colt is engaged in all
the rich turf events east and west, and is
deemed capable of winning back his cost
price in stake money this year alone. TAX
ing advantage of such betting as may be
against him, it is thought the syndicate can
clear a big profit this summer. Next year
when as a four year-old Ell Rio Rey meets
horses of all ages, and when in handicaps
1t is thought frequent opportunity to
wager big money will be offered and as
the idea is to plunge on the horse profitable
results are deemed certain if the horse re-
tains his form. Should the colt break
down the chance-talxing members of the
syndicate say they viii not complain, fol
they are entering upon the deal as a matter
of speculation purely. They think the
chances are in their favor. Two members
of the syndicate are owners of race horses
and two others have for number of years
been interested in turf matters. All o.
them have capital and mean business.

Especial TO THE HERAID-Examiner-Cas
DAIsToN, England, March 1.-THE case
of Eliza Annie Fitzhugh, teacher OF
music, and her mother, who were charged
with obtaining property under false pre-
lenses, is of unusual interest because 1t
was a very sad case, and because it pictures
a curious phase of English society.
Miss FitZhugh was young woman OF
good repute, who had fine, well trained
voice, and was making enough money to
support herself and her father and mother,
her father being an invalid. In October
Mr.. Hayward, the manager of Professor
Baldwin, who was at that time to Jump
from balloon when at great height
came to Miss Fitzhugh and asked her to
undertake the task of getting the Prince OF
Wales to attend at the ascension of Baldwin.
He promised to give SO if she succeeded.
Accordingly Miss Fitzhugh got an appoint
ment to meet Sir Francis knoHy at
Marlborough house and there succeeded so
well that the prince and princess and
daughter attended the show at the AleXan-
dria palace. Miss Fitzhugh had the honor
Of singing before the princely family when
they were there also. but she never got the
promised money nor any other 1t seems.
She had been to considerable expense Tor
dress and otherwise in this matter, and SO
got into debt. 1t was then her troubles be-
gan. She tried to get an appointment as
vocalist in the family of the prince, and
those who promised to help her to the post
told her she was sure to succeed and even
sent letters of congratulatlon on the GER
tainty o. her appointment. Relying upon
this Miss Fitzhugh neglected to try for
other pupils. While waiting for her ap-
pointment she got deeper in debt. Along
in December, 1889, her father died. To pro
vide for the funeral she went to the under
taker and told him she had been appointed
to the post of vocalist in the family of the
prince and he thereupon trusted her Tor
the price of decent funeral. The bill was
sent to Marlborough house. It appeared
that Miss Fitzhu b was employed there
in another capacity, and she got the bill;
her father wasn't dead and she
didn't owe any undertaken for bury
