Almost "a Riot.

A riot seemed imminent at Brilliant
among the railroad men Monday night. II
seems that the contractors had delayed pay
ing the Italian labOrers for some days, put
ting them off with promises. Monday the
men demanded their pay and had agreed TO
strike unless the pay was forthcoming at
night. The bad arranged TO pay and in
making out the time had docked one Italian
boy to an extent that the boy protested and
at once got very angry. Some
warm words passed between the boy
and the boss. which were overheard
by the other Italians who crowded about
the two disputants, demanding that the
BOYS time be fixed at his count and not on
the statement Of the time-keeper. The
boss pulled his revolver, telling the men TO
stand back, which they refused To do, and
in an instant each man had knife brand
ishing in the air, and with the savage glare
of wild men threatened to disembOwel the
boss. He succeeded in getting into his
Office without bloodshed and the matter
was finally amicably settled, the men were
paid and were at work yesterday.

A CITIZEN NICTIMIZED.
He is Taken in by Plausible Horse
Thief

On the 9th of the present month a
stranger rode into town on an elegant
horse. and put itup at a hotel. The animal
showed signs Of having been driven fast
and far. but in few hours had been put
in first class condition. The next day the
stranger offered his horse for sale, asking
sl2O dollars for him. He fell in with a man
who wanted an animal, and the horse
was hitched up and the two men
drove il about the street. The
horse suited the citizen. but the price was
beyond his means. The stranger was very
anxious to sell and asked for an offer. The
citizen only had SO to invest. This was
a good deal less than the stranger wanted,
hut he finally concluded TO accept, and the
money was paid over. The stranger dis
appeared and all went well for about
twenty-four hours. Then telegram came
TO the City Hall. from place in Washing
ton county. stating that horse Of such and
such a description had been stolen there,
and Offering reward OF so.
The animal was the same one sold at such
a reasonable price yesterday. The owner
came on and identified his horse, and to-
day it will be shipped back to Washington
county.
The thief who worked such slick trick
is unknown.

Awarded AllmOny.
BosroN. June 24.-The famous South
worth divorce case, after being in the courts
for nearly year, has resulted in Mrs.
Southworth's favor.
Judge Lathrop yesterday gave to the
discarded wife of the Springfield paper
manufacturer a decree against the hus-
,band. allowing her $50 Il month alimony.
Mr.. Southworth was sued about a year
ago by Boston and Albany baggagemas-
ter for $4,000 damages for the alienation Of
the affections of the plaintiffs wife. a
verdict was returned for the baggagemas-
ter The baggagemaster's wife, 1T was
alleged in the evidence, had been installed
in tne house in this city, the cost and
maintainace of which were assumed by
MIR. Southworth About the same time Mr..
Southworth sued for divorce from his
wife. but lost the case.
The trouble in the Southworth household,
it is said, had its origin in the fact that
Mrs. Southworth was childless. Her hus-
band turned against her, Il financial disap-
pontment combining with his unsatisfact-
orv domestic state TO cause him to renounce
religious connections that he had some time
maintained The discarded wife was sent
by her husband TO New York. Though she
was delicate woman. he failed, it was tes-
titled. to provide for her, and she was
brought to the verge of starvation.
