Origin Of a Stylish Cravxt.

At the battle OF Steinkrk, which took
place on tho morning Of Aug. 8. 1862.
the French nobIes were Surprised in their
sleep, and hastily rushing out Of their
tents, they arranged their lace cravats
In the most careless manner. The French
were victorious, and to commemorate
their victory it became the fashion after
this to weer tho neckcloth il a neglige
manner. Hence the origin Of the Stein
kirk cravat, as it was afterward called.

Microbes end Digestion.

A Russian physician has found that
microbes are always present in great
numbers in the fasting stomach Of .
healthy person. During the earlier part
of digestion they are always quite nu-
merous. The gastric juice, however,
tends to destroy the naicrobes, though
no effect on digestion appears to be ex-
erted by them.-Arkansaw Traveller.

CENTREvIILE, Md, May 12-Yester-
day Asbury Green, colored, who on Sat
urday last was convicted by jury at
Centreville of having assaulted Mrs.
Howard TolSon, of Kent Island, in Feb
ruary last, was sentenced by Judge
Stump to twenty-One years impriSOn-
+ ment. The Judge explained that he
thought the Identification of the pris-
oner was not sufficiently certain to JUS
tify the imposition of the death penalty.
The people who had allowed the law to
take its course were not satisfied with
this conclusion of the judicial mind, the
effect of which was to vitiate in part
the verdict given by twelve of their
neighbors. The people SAID little, but
thought much after the sc enc which
substituted the penitentlary for the gal
lows, and during the afternoon the con-
vlctiOn became general that Green must
die-that the honor of the wife must be
maintained sacred against the lust of
the negro. Soon after midnight men
wearing masks began TO arrive in town,
and by O'Clock there were $50 men in
the nelghbOrhoOd of the Jail. Sheriff
Turner dOuble-barred the doors, but
a heavy log of wood quickly broke
them down. The sheriff, standing in
side, asked the men what they meant to
do. In answer dozen revolvers were
leveled at him and he was told to stand
aside. The leader, with stout rope in
hand, then led the lynchers up stairs
to the second floor. In one of the rooms
on this floor Green was confined. The
negro had heard the noise and knew in
stinctively that for him was this inya-
sion of the Jail. He begged for mercy,
but nOosed rope was quickly thrown
over his head and hauled tight about his
neck. Green was dragged, more dead
than alive, to the place of execution,
where the rope was tossed over a peach
tree and he was hauled into the air, and
the little life remaining speedily passed
out of his body. The lyncherS wrapped
the rope about the trunk of the tree,
eft the body dangling and dispersed.
Two bullet holes were found in the
body this morning. While every one is
able to give all particulars Of the lynch
ing. no one can be found who saw the
jail breaking, the hanging or the shoot
ing.

IN THE KEYSTONE STATE.
Timber and Mining Property Go
Up in Smoke


MECHANICsBURG. Pa, May 12.-Dis-
astrouS forest fires have swept through
the mountain lands in this county since
last Monday and are still raging. Fully
10000 acres OF valuable timber lands
have been burned over. Reports re-
ceiyed this morning from DiIls-
burg, small hamlet six miles from this
city, say that second large fire broke
out IN the mountains north of that place
and soon reached and DESTROYED the
valuable mining property of Alex. Un-
derWoOd, consisting of an ore crusher.
engine house, blacksmith shop and five
dwelling houses rendering fourteen
persons homeless. \ number of houses,
intending those on the outskirts of the
aforementioned settlements, are in dan
ger, and, unless the wind changes or
ram falls, the wearied fighters will be
unable to save them. The losses by
these fires have already exceeded $780,
600.
HUNTINGTON. Pa, Nav 12.-Over
1000 acres of valuable timber lands are
atiame within radius of seven miles of
this place, and in distant parts of the
county the woodland is beng swept
away at an alarming extent. The
mountain fires are beyond all human
COHllOl anu can Only De eXIlnSulShed by
rainfall. This section is suffering
most in the East Broadtop region, where
the fire extends nearly to Wells tan
merry, in Fulton county, and on Tussey's
mountain, Rays hill and Warriors
ridge. The farmers in the whole burn
ing district have sustained irreparable
losses to fencing and hundreds of acres
of growing grain have been ruined.
The varionS fires originated from the
railroads or wandering bands of gypses.
BELLEFoNTE. Pa, May 12.-The
damage done by the forest fires that
have been raging throughout the county
have been something enormous and in
calculable. All along the Buffalo Run
railroad through nearly every patch of
timber the fire has ragged, burning miles
and miles of fence, orchards, valuable
standing and cut timber. The fires still
continue to rage with unabated fury i'll
many places not yet burned over, it
being hopeless task to fight them.
The entire wild cherry crop, which is
generally very large, is also entirely
destroyed. The entire loss cannot as
yet he estimated, but counting the
damage to standing timber it will run
into the hundreds Of thousands of dol

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, May 12.-
Judge Roberts, OF the probate court,
rendered his decision to-day in the case
of Herbert r. Spencer VS.. Mary Ann
Ludlow and Martha Pollok, awarding
the defendants a large number of lots
situated in this city valued at $50, 900,
which belonged to the estate of the
late j. C.. Tullis, of Cincinnati. The
testimony in the case has revealed
dark chapter in the life of MI. Tullis,
which will create quite a sensation, as
he was one of the most widely known
real estate dealers in the West. He
died on the 18th day of March, 1878, and
left an estate valued at IS, 100000 aud
left no will. His vast estate descended
to his heirs at law, who were then sup
posed to be his two sisters, the de-
PENDANTS in this case. Shortly
after his death Mr.. Tullis' col
ored housekeeper, America Redman,
brought suit against the administrator
TO recover wages which she claimed
were due to her by deceased. She Sc
cured Judgment for 1865, which was
paid, and the case was soon forgotten.
Although 1t had been whispered around
at the time that the relations between
the dead millionaire and his c0lOred
houSekeeper had been of more init
mate nature than those between an en-
plOyer and emplOye, his friends grew
indignant at this imputatiOn, and the
story was given no credence, as no
man had stood higher in Cincinnati
social and business circles than Tullis.
He never was married, and lived IN
palatial residence, frequently entertain
ing many prominent people of Ohio.
Being both charitable and public
classes. A few weeks ago Herbert X.
Spencer, of Duluth, brought action for
the valuable property in this city be-
longing to the estate under quitclaim
deed from America Redman and
Georgia BenhOuse. The former. he
claimed, was the wife of TulliS
and the latter the daughter born of the
union. These two parties he claimed
were the only lawful heirs of the de-
ceased. In support of the claim, he of
fered a deposition from the cOlOred
woman Redman, in which she says that
she was employed as hOusekeeper
by Mr.. Tullis in 1862, and soon after
wards they agreed to live together as
death. In 1888 daughter was born to
them, who is now the wife
of James Benhouse, and who
joined in making the quitclaim
deed to Spencer. The defense offered
no testimony to contradict the colored
woman's evidence, but proved that she
was married in 1860 to one James Red
man, from whom she had never been
divorced, and claimed that even if she
had entered into a marriage contract
with TuIlis it was void. Judge Roberts
concurred i'll this view and decided that
neither the woman nor her daughter
had any legal claims upon the estate.

Reelected to Parliament, He

LONDON, May 12.-The crown lawyers
having decided that William Henry
Smith, first lord of the treasury, leader
of the Conservative party in the house
of commons and member of parliament
for the district of London known as the
Strand, must submit to a reelection on
account of his appointment as warden
of the cinque ports. Mr.. Smith has acted
upon their decision, and has been re-
turned without opposition, In a speech
to his electors, referring to the free
education policy of the government, Mi.
Smith said that the cost of free educa-
ton will in no way be thrown upon the
ratepayerS of the country. Nh Smith
condemned what he cIassed as the eX-
cessively high school rate of London,
ana expressed the opinion that sufficient
education ought to be given at less cost.
No portion Of the $4,000, 600 Of the sur
plus, he added, would be devoted to free
education. The money would go TO the
reduction of the rates.
