There were two entries. Dir Bar
bees iron gray mare, Rosebud, and
Mr.. Reddy Mller's black stallion.
This contest promised to be interest
ing. A good start was made. The
stallion took the lead under the whip,
but broke u member Of times before
the quarter was reached. Rosebud
also broke once, but she soon got
down to business and steadily forged
ahead and kept up steady gait that
proved too much for MIR. Miller's
horse. She passed the black at the
quarter and took good lead at
the half without being touch
ed with the whip. She kept it
to the finish, though the black
gained under Miller's eyeractive
whip, and finished three lengths
ahead.
"Rosebudn also won the second
heat in much the same style as the

ONE MAN AGAINST 4 MOB.

Murderer Widdis Successfully
Resists an Attempt to Lynch
Him.
HUNTINGDON. Tenn, Nov. 21.-The
town is wild with excitement, and has
been so for the past eighteen hours.
Widdis, who murdered Constable Ross
aud his nephew few days ago, was
brought from Paris yesterday evening
to have his preliminary examination.
y mob met the train at the depot, but
the sheriff had taken the prisoner from
the train in the west end of town and
carried him to jail. Jake Ross, father
of the murdered boy. persuaded the mob
10 let the law take its course. Instead
OF going home many remained. and
about u o'clock last night surrounded
the Jail to prevent aid being
given to the prisoner. At 1
O'Clock all preparations were. made
and an attack was made on the Jail
1t was deserted except by Widdis and
two other prisoners. With Sledge ham,
merS and coal chiselS the mob DESTROYED
the lock and the outside door. The in-
side door was solid cast iron, an inch
thick and perforated with holes two by
three inches. They could not break
the door down, but broke out piece
twelve by eighteen inches. Two pris.
Oners were i'll the cells, but Widdis was
in the hall. An Irishman named Ed
Coulter climbed through hole after ne
got in and aimed his pistol at Widdis'
head. Another was handed to him.
Then report was heard, and Coulter
claimed he was shot. Sam Sellars
started in to his assistance. when Wild
dis, or some one, shot, the ball entering
oellarS' face near the nose and lodging
under the jawbone. DR.. Cox dressed
the wound and Sellals went home. Re-
port reaches here that he is dead. The
mob dispersed after this. Widdis was
returned to Paris this morning without
having had a preliminary trial. The
end is not yet. If Sellars is dead the
governor will have to send regiment
% protect WiddiS.

The Stock Market BuOyant and
Active Stocks Advance ia

New YORK, Nov. 21.-The stock market
to-day was quite active again. and at the
same time decidedly strong, and even buoy
ant at times; and the improved temper to the
speculation was continuous throughout the
day, the upward movement being subject to
only slight Interruptions. The street was
certainly more cheerful to-day than il has
been in weeks. and the improvement was
general, extending to all classes of Securi-
ties, both stocks and bonds. The bulls for the
first time for months seemed to have com-
plete control of the market. There was in
creased buying of both stocks and bonds and
the improved condition of financial affairs at
London, together with the positive easy tone
given to the money market here. which was
especially noticeable as to-day was FRIDAY.
accounted largely for the prevalent disposi-
ton to buy. 1t was notable fact that as the
market advanced there was scant supply of
securities, and for the first time in months
money was relatively cheaper than stocks.
The news of the day was favorable, and the
utterances of a noted broker, who is sup
posed to be close to Mr.. Gold on the position

terances and the news from the West to-day
the upward movement. which seems
TO have already begun, will be
based upon an advance in railroad rates.
report from London that there is q Likelihood
OF an increase i'll the circulation there based
upon silver deposits attracted considerable
attention and had q good effect. The better
feeling was apparent at the opening, which
was made at gains over last nights figures of
from "A to l per cent, and the foreigners
were buyers, while there was marked dis
position to purchase for the short account by
domestic operators. There was only one
weak point in the market, and that was Rock
Island. which was savagely attacked and de-
pressed from 64s to CLIP, the attack being
accompanied by a reiteration of the story
about the passage of the next dividend. The
pressure was removed shortly before noon,
however, and it later made a sharp advance,
fair the look Of manipulation upon which to
cover shorts in the general list The latter
did not sympathize TO any extent in the drop

was removed from the latter, it began TO ad-

The wheat markets were higher and buoy
ant on higher stock markets and general COW
ering of short wheat here and elsewhere. The
revival was very general i'll all places with
the same reasons given all around for the ad-
vance. At the first prices were steady, but
with the tOning up of stocks there was un
easiness and good buying for both long and
short accounts, with an almost steady gain
until a rise of about &c had been secured.
The market was checked there by more sell
ing, with sharp fluctuations following. Liver
pool was quoted rather easy. Arrivals of
fresh car lots here were larger, but, with the
demand for them, they had no depressing
effect.

The demand was good for cash wheat by

THE MINISTER DIDN'T DANCE.

At a reception the other evening, one of our
best-known divines stood looking at the
merry dancers. pretty girl came up to him
and said;
"Why do you no: dance, doetor?"
lie replied: There are two things that pre-
vent my dancing-one is my profession, and
the other is my rheumatism-but believe
the rheumatism is the strongest reason"
And he went on to say that for years he
had suffered from this painful disease, and,
until now, without hope OF relief But n let
ter from one of his friends, Rev. Mr.. Crosby,
Of Brushton, n. Y, gave him great hope that
at last he might find relief.
Mr. Crosby wrote that for eight years he
had suffered terribly from rheumatic pains in
the back, and was very weak and nervous.
Through a friends advice, he tried discov-
cry that had effected many remarkable cures
Before he had finished one bottle, he was
free from pain could sleep sound and was
able to preach every Sunday. "A modern
discovery, Paine Celery Compound, effected
this remarkable cure. and have already pro-
cured Some for my own use. feel IL my duty
to try faithfully medicine that is SO highly
recommended"
Rev. Mr.. Crosby is but one of many who
have proven the wonderful curative power
nf this nerve builder and health producer
IL is no ordinary remedy, but grand scien

treatment and cure of rheumatism, neuralgia
and nervous diseases.

the resistance of different people varied

placed at $4,000 ohms. which, he said,
was not an eXtravagant estimate. In
the course Of these remarks, Mr.. Sher-

Justice Gray remarked: "Docs not

man: 81 think it is cruel, but don't

counsel closed with the statement that
1t seemed to him new condition was
presented as to the constitutionality of
the state statute, and that unless 1t was
to be assumed against counSe'S offered
proof that electricity would do what
kemmler'S case proved it will not do,
the court must direct the issuance of the
writ. Attorney General Tabor followed
i'll a brief address in behalf of the state.
As he understood it, either hanging or
death by electricity had too much cruel
ty in it to suit counsel. He de-
clared the state on the trial
of the Kemmler case, and in the prac-
the whole question of the constitution
ality of the statute. At the first the
state had been told it could not Kill a
man by electricity, and then it could
not do so without causing such pain as
to make the statute in conflict with the
constitution. The Kemmler execution
had vindicated the humane men who
framed the law, and the only difference
between this case and that of Kemmler
was that counsel now wanted to prove
what the court would not take notice of
then,and in addition to prOve,l If possible,
that the actual execution had shown eX-
actly what he wanted to prove then.
He concluded by asking speedy termi-
nation of the case. Decision was re-
served.
