england,s Coast, swep, by Storms.

The gale has been raging with It's
usual herceness about Queenstown and Its
vicinity. About thirty craft, large and
small, mostly fishing smacks and small
coasters, have boen driven ashore In that
vicinity. At loughala, many parts OF tho
town are flooded by the seas which have
swept Into streets. Many sheep and cattle
have been drowned along tho course of the
Black Water River. Dispatches from
Holyhead state that 900 vessels, many OF
them much damaged. have sought refuge
at that port from the storm.
The eravest apprehcnsions are felt by
the inhabitants OF SaEgatc, a small town
on the English channel, situated about
two miles from Folkestona, In Kent. The
storms have caused most abnormal high
tide there. aud this. combined with the
hurricane which is blowing, is destroying
the sea walls. Many houses scattered
along the shore have already been washed
over by the angry waves, and the high
road leading 10 Hythe and Folkstone Is
submerged and destroyed In many places.

WESTERN FARMS.

The census bureau has issued u bull
letin ON tho subject Of live stock on ranges
exclusive Of stock ON farms. 1t 10 found
that on June ], 1890, In what IL called the
third range district, which consists Of
Colorado and Wyoming, there were 69e,.
77S cattle, 17s, $50 sheep and 36,slS horses
The wool clip amounted 10 1,?l0,09a
pounds. S
In Eastern Colorado the land and water
privileges, to very great extent, have
passed under the control and ownership
Of farmers and wool growers. Intelligent
resident stockmen estimate that there are
now less than one half the number Of
range cattle in Eastern Colorado than
there were in 1885.
The mutton Of Wyoming ranks high In
Eastern markets, to which Thousands Of
sheep are forwarded annually. The
ranges Of Albany, Carbon and Laramie
counties are, 10 great extent, fenced
into large pastures, and the stock In these
counties Ia Of excellent grade, having been
greatly improved by the use Of superior
breeds Of cattle and horses.
Considerable attention 10 given TO breed
ing draught horses as we'll Is horses for
speed, the latter being shipped to Eastern
markets. 1t Is claimed that tho climate
and high altitude secure creator powers
Of endurance and greater .'toughnoss" In
the horse than can be secured in lower al.
titudes.
in Colorado, under rapidly changing
conditions, range cattle are now located
upon the western side Of tho mountains.
1t is estimated that 100, 900 head Of cattle
were driven from Eastern Colorado in
1890. Farms are taking the place o.
ranges.
Sheep are rapidly becoming the chief
live stock interest Of Eastern Colorado
and It bids fair to become an almost ex-
clus!vely wool growing region.
The number OF horses reported is 81, ,209.
Tho range horse indus try is reported as
depressed aud sales light, especially 10
Western Colorado, mature hors es selling
at $3.50, and by herds or bands at eoO per
head. But few mules or burros arc
reported on ranges In Colorado, although
4,296 were used on farms and at mines for
freighting purposes.

Bloodshcd in Virginia.

A savage fight occurred between
live negroes and the Clifton Forge officers
In the montains, near Iron Gate, Saturday
afternoon, resulting In the death Of white
man and o negro. Tho negroes came to
Chiffon Forge the next morning from the
Big Hill mines, eight miles from here, with
the avowed purpose Of creating disturb

boistcrous, and deted arrest, leaving in
tho same direction thcy came, followed by
the town officers. They wcro called to a
halt at tho above point, where u fight en-.
sued, In which p. A. Bowling of the posse
was killed, and Fred Wilkinson was shot
in the abdomen and knee. Wilkinson will
probably recover. The news OF tho shoot
ing spread rapidly with great excitement,
and In short time fifty men were scour-
ing the mountains where the negroes took
refuge, hunting thom down. All Of them
were captured after several hours search,
and second battle in tho mountains be-
tween the policemen and the negroes took
place.
Three Of them had 10 be shot before they
were captured. They We're then placed In

HTwo large mobs, numbering in all about
800 men, formed in the town and met at
Sxeetwood's store at about 10 o'clock that
night They fired salutes and then the two
combined and marched to the jail, where
the prisoners taken in tho afternoon had
been confined. They attempte !. after fir

Properly Acquitted.

Judge Moon, of Chattanooga, in
giving a sensational case to a jury
in his court last week, laid down
the law strongly as to husbands
duty of self-defense. d. F. Bell
returned home Unexpectedly at
night from journey and entering
the house found a man named T.
H. Barnwell in Mrs. Bells cham
ber. Bell with a linch-pin knocked
Barnwell down, and shot at him
with pistol, the bullet missed its
mark and struck Mrs. Bell, going
through her leg. Judge Moon said
to the jury:
If Bell was working in some other
State and left his wife here, believing
her virtuous and true to him and upon
returning home, if he found Barnwell in
intimate relations with his wife in her
house, and if he then and there struck
Barnwell with linch-pin or any other
weapon to protect his home and fireside,
the jury must acquit Bell for he acted
properly as the head of the household,
and if Bell shot at Barnwell and missed
him, hitting Mrs. Bell by mistake, there
can be no action against Bell.
The jury acquitted Bell without
leaving their seats.

Last Friday Judge DuBose over
ruled the motion for new trial in
the case of Col. H. Clay King, con-
victed of the murder of David H.
Poston in Memphis last March.
The death sentence was then pro-
nounced on the prisoner by Judge
DuBose as follows:
1t is the judgment of this court that
you, Il. Clay King, shall be committed
to the body of the county jail and there
safely kept by the sheriff until the 9th
day of November, 1891, when between
the hours of 10 a. m. and / p. m. the
sheriff shall within the jail or an inclos-
ure adjacent to the jail, take you to the
gallows therein constructed and hang
you by the neck until you are dead, dead,
dead. And may God have mercy on
your soul.
Colonel King, it is said, received
his sentence with much fortitude.
An appeal will be taken.

what we're the true doctrines of the
Democratic party constrained him
to support the absolute equality of
gold and silver at the mints.
The Democratic party is opposed
to all class privileges, either in COM
merce or finance. 1t opposes the
legislation which gives to any citi-
zen partnership with the Govern
ment, so that its functions can be
used for his especial advantage. 1t
opposes all schemes which make
the Government broker to lend
money on bonds, on farm produce,
or on land. 1t opposes all laws
which peculiarly favor any citizen
because he owns any particular
kind of property, or is engaged in
any particular kind of business.
1t may ynot be political question,
but to deny citizen the right to
coin silver bullion at the mints
which belong to all the people, and
to give the right to the owner of
gold bullion, when the Constitution
places thetwo metals upon the same
basis as to legal tender, looks very
much like ignoring the fundament-
al doctrine of the Democratic par
ty, Equal rights to all and exclu-
sive privileges to none,"
