Inv tclnrrnrh % the Disnatch1

BAToS RoUGF, L.. August THE Anti
Lottery League met in convention here
this afternoon. There were between 400
and 500 delegates present. including dele
gates OF the Farmers Alliance and about
200 that came up on a special train rom
New Orleans. When the Committee on
Credentials made partial report the
Farmers Union delegates from Cata-
hOula said that no election for dele
gates had been held in that parish.
but that il could be relied upon 10 give
loo majority against the lottery. THIS
was loudly applauded. aud the applause
was renewed when Mr. McManus, of
Orleans. said be was authorized 20 cast the
vote of NayOr Shakespeare against lot
terry. I. L. Bell, Of Caddo. was elected
president. and the appointment OF
vice-president from each parish
was authorized to be made by par
lsh delegations. Committees we're ap-
pointed on Resolutions, on Address 10
the People Of the United States, on Memo
rial 20 the President and To Congress re-
qucsting the enactment Of legislation
against lotteries, and the establishment OF
an Executive Committee OF twenty-nlne

sident Adams. of the State ! aTmcrs Union,
being invited 10 o seat on the plat
form briefly ACKNOWLEDGED the com
pliment. He said that II was tunda-
mental principle of his order that honest
men should rule the State. God never
intended that anything in the shape Of a
lottery enterprise should manage her
affairs. The Farmers Union stood squarely
shoulder to shoulder with the Anti-Lot-
terv League in its fight and would stand
up to the line no matter where tine blow
fell. Our order has unanimously passed
resolutions endorsing the expressions N

ROBBERY.

A little sensation is attracting some at
tention here this morning. On tuesday
night while the depot agent, Mr. &. ".
BRYAN. was at supper some one entered the
office and stole from locked drawer $50.
Mr.. BRYAN left the money IN the drawer a.
usual until he closed up for the night
when he puts his money into the safe.
Suspicion rests against a cOlored man
named Clark, who works at the depot.
Mr.. Bryan thinks the boy left an outer
door open on purpose and slipped bac
while he was away at supper. Clark was
arrested last night and was confined in jail.
He Will be tried before Justice keny this
morning.
The friends of President f. 7. Hobgood,
of Oxford Female Seminary. will rejoice to
learn that he has entirely recovered from
his insanity and has been discharged from
the insane asylum at Raleigh and Is now
with his family.

The Terrier and the Bulldog.

heard a good story few days ago,
says correspondent of The Boston
Post, which illustrates not only the
intelligence of dogs and their power
OF communicating with each other,
but that the same sort of experiences
which tend to develop independence
and self reliance in human beings have
a similar effect with them. 4 gentle
man who owns small terrier and a
mastif found that the terrier was in
the habit of going down a road on
which he had occasion 10 pass q house
where bulldog was kept who hardly
ever failed TO come out and growl at
and otherwise annoy him.
But beyond this exhibition of i'll
humor the bulldogs spite did not 90
until certain day, when he bit the
terrier quite severely. The next day
the terrier went up TO the mastiff and
evidently had quite an interview with
him on the subject of the injury which
had been inflicted by the bulldog, for
at its conclusion the mastiff accom-
panied the little fellow down the road.
When the bulldog came out, appar.
emily prepared to renew his assaults,
both the terrier and the mastiff at
tackled him and gave him a thorough
whipping, the terrier especially dis
playing a vigor and persistency which
were remarkable considering the tim,
idity which he had hitherto exhibited
in presence of his old enemy

4 SampsOnian Abroad.

\ large illustrated edition of the
Tucson (Arizona) Daily Citizen has
among the cuts of the prominent
citizens of that city one of NJ. F.
Shaw, a native of Sampson county,
y. c., who is sheriff of Pima coun-
ty. The following sketch of him is
clipped from the Citizen:
NJ. F. Shaw, the able and efficient
Sheriff of Pima County, was born in
Sampson County, North Carolina,
August 81, 1853. He remained in
his native State, receiving here his
early education, until he was seven
teea years of age. In 1875 he went
to Texas, and engaged in the cattle
business. He came to Arizona in
1880, where he become interested in
mining properties and the cattle
business. He continued in this bus
mess until 1886, when he was appin-
ted deputy in the sheritf's office
under his brother, f. 0. Shaw. In
October, 1887, his brother died, and
lie was then appointed by the Board
of Supervisors to serve the unexpir-
ed term. In 1888, he was nominated
by the Democratic party as their
candidate for Sheriff, and was eject
ell by good majority. His term
expires December 81, 1890. He has
eight deputies under him, all OF
whom are carefully selected. His
| administration has been an exceed
ingly popular one, and in his Official
as well as private career, he has
given thorough satisfaction to the
citizens of Pima County.

Tie Effect of Thunder on Dogs.

An interesting story was told last
year of a supposed mad dog out IN
Litchfeld county that was killed be
cause of its strange conduct, and after
ward it was found TO have been only
frightened by thunder 1t had run
twelve miles and then taken to a
strange house, run upstairs and re
fused to stir, and so was shot. 1t was
a Scotch collie, and those dogs are
peculiarly susceptible to and utterly
cowed by thunder. There is one in
this city not quite so bright as the sun
shine in fair weather that becomes an
utter imbecile as soon as thunder or
even firecracker is heard
Yesterday afternoon, amid the dis
tant rumble of far away storm, he
laid aside his intelligence and ran
wildly off from home without it. A
long search for him proved futile, but
in a couple of hours he turned up, all
wet and muddy, at his owners Office
ready to be escorted home. On the
penitential journey homeward they
met another dog, not quite so big as
this one, and at sight of the large and
ruff1ed collie the strange dog dropped
fiat upon its belly and lay cringing
and trembling. the victim of abject
fear, until the dog, scared by crack
OF thunder, had walked proudly by.
