NO CAMPAIGN MATERIAL IN THE
GILLIAN AFFAIR.

1t does not appear that either the
president or Mr.. Blaine, or both of
them together, are producing any cam
paign material from the CHILEAN affair.
The Fabian policy inaugurated since
Blaines return to Washington put a
sudden stop to the fussy and quarrel
some iingoism of Harrison and Egan.
The president evidently saw vast polit-
cal possibilities for himself and party
in the assumption of q bullying attitude
towards the hot-headed Chilians, and
was rapidly hurrying on to condition
of things from which it would be in
possible toextricate himself honorably,
when the original tail-twister himself
appeared on the stage and clapped on
the brakes. 1t does not seem reason
able, as some have claimed, that
Blaine's reason for going slow
was jealousy Of Harrison, who
he feared would garner fame from the
issue. 1t would appear more reasona-
bic to say that if he desired to see the
president commit involuntary suicide
he would have let him go ahead with
his jingoism and swash-bucklering.
But as that meant the wreck of the
party, it was not to be thought of, and
hence the interference in the interest
of an amicable and peaceful solution of
the quarrel. Harrison will not reap
any glory from the row, much as he
may long for it. But as Blaine has
probably saved him from the commits
sion of fatal blunder he ought to di-
vide that Carnegie keg with him and
be otherwise duly grateful.

How Indians Sell Horns.

At various Stations along the Canadian
Pacific road in Assiniboia and Alberta
groups of Indians, chiefly women and chill
dren, are found en- the platforms. Some
times they are rather picturesque for the
many colored rags which cover them. But,
as rule, they are dirty, squalid, sickly
looking lot, and are anything but attract
i've. A few men are among them, and they
are all engaged in the not very lucrative
occupation of selling buffalo horns to the
tourists. On the plains they pick up the
horns of the noble departed bison. Then
they set to work improving" the horns in
such way as to destroy all their value to
an intelligent person, for what is the use
of having buffalo horns as relics of that
departed animal unless they are something
like the horns the buffaloes used to wear.
First the Indians scrape the horns with
knife until the surface ia comparatively
smooth. Then they file them for long
time, until they are smoother yet. Finally
they take stone and begin to polish, and
keep up the process until the horns are az
smooth as glass and as black and shiny as
q well polished boot. Some travellers think
the product is very pretty, and so the In
dams have an occasional customer Some
times they make sort of hat rack Of sew
eral of the horns.
A pair of fine horns brings from IS cents
to $3.50. and other specimens containing
several horns are, valued at & to s.. OF
course the Indians ask good deal more
than they will take. During the bargain
ing usually not word is said on either
side. The Indians pretend ignorance OF
English. When asked the price they hold
up one or more fingers. The tourist is
sure, if the price is q, to offer only ST.
The squaw will shake her head, and final
ly, after the tourist has shaken solitary
finger in her face for few minutes, he de-
cides to do little better. So he shakes
one finger at her, and then crosses the fin
ger with finger of the other hand, which
means that he will give $3.50 After q
good deal of gesticulation on both sides
bargain is struck.-Boston Herald.

ATTACKED Ala CHURCH DOOR.
Bold Attempt of an italian to Garrote a
Young Girl


HAzLEToN, Pa, Nov. 5.-Lizzie Drum,
aged fourteen, was attacked by an italian
at 9 O'Clock tonight as she was leaving
church on Green street, in the
most populous part of the city The
Italian sprang from behing a tree IS
she was passing, and Selling her by the
throat, showed her violently against fence.
The girl fought the villain bravely, but the
firm clutch at her throat prevented her at
first from making an outcry. BY des-
perate effort, however, she wrenched the
Italians hand away and screamed loudly
for help.
Her cries of 'tMurderl'' caused COM
motion among the congregation, who were
just coming from the church p. +.
Boyle, president of the council, who wit
messed the assault, and number of others
ran to the girls rescue. When the fiend saw
them approaching ne let go his victim and
ran down the street, u number of the con-
gregation following. He lodged through
several streets, closely followed by his pur-
suers, and finally managed to make good his
escape.
The girl was badly frightened and part of
her clothing was torn, but she sustained
no serious injury from the assault. She
believes she could recognize her assail-
ant again, and the police are already
looking for him. His motive no doubt was
one of robbery, as the girl wore some valua-
bic jewelry, whose glitter probably at
tracted the attention and invited the attack
Considering the locality and the time of the
attempted robbery, The assault was one of
the bodest ever made in the city.

VICTIM OF THE STlLETTO.
An italian Organ-Grinder Suspected of
Killing a Fellow Tenant

New YORK, Nov. 5.-John Welsh, a milk
man, of Elizabeth, n. j., discovered the
body of a man lying on the sidewalk in
High street, that city, about day break yes
terday, and from it a trail of blood extend
ing in a zigzag course through the street
for half block.
Welsh notified the police, and the dead
man was identified as Francisco Lombardo,
an Italian about thirty years of age. He
had died from 4 stiletto wound in the left
breast.
Lombardo was unmarried and had a room
in a house in Fourth avenue, half a block
from the scene of the murder. Suspicion
at once pointed to Michael Servi, an organ
grinder, and his wife, who have rooms in
the same house, and they were Immediately
arrested.
There had been bad blood between Lom-
bardo and Servi for some time, alleged to
have resulted from a former intimacy be-
tween Lombardo and Servi's wife. Servi
threatened Lombardo with a revolver some
nights ago. and on Tuesday last both Servi
and his wife attacked him in the yard.
1t is believed that he was killed in the
yard and his body carried to the place
where it was found. Search for the weapon
has been fruitless, but blood spots were
discovered on Servi's clothing.
Servi was once charged with shooting
at his brother-in-law, Francisco Novello,
and was also suspected of another murder.
Servi and Lombardo were together late
Saturday night in saloon in John street
drinking and carousing. A quarrel is sup
posed to have followed.

LYNCH law.

Few, perhaps, will feel any sympathy
for the negro burned at the stake for
murder of Farmer Loves family near
Queen City, Notwithstanding the swift
and awful character of his fate. His
crime was an atrocious one, that de-
served the severest penalty of the law,
and one which should have been pun.
isned according to law-not lynch law,
but the law of the land. He was a
prisoner in jail at Linden, had con-
fessed his crime in all its blackness,
and could not have escaped capital pun.
ishment had the law been permitted to
take its course. 1t is freely admitted
that the lynchers made no mistake, and
that they burned the right man, the
real murderer, but none the less it is
true that mistake was made in fore
stalling legal action by executing sum-
mary vengeance on the murderer &C.
cording to lynch law. If there be ever
time when lynch law can be excused
or justified, it certainly is not when
the culprit is in the hands of the law
full authorities. and has confessed his
crime, and when it is only question
of few days until the law will meas
ure out to him the punishment that he
has so richly earned.
Mob law is never justifable, and less
SO now than ever, when the legal ma
chinery of the courts can be depended
upon SO fully to punish crime.
Neither can it be said in favor of
mob law that the rapidity and severity
with which it wreaks its vengeance on
criminals operate any more effectively
than legal punishment does to prevent
crime. Had the negro Green been
hanged according to law, instead of be-
ing burned at the stake by mixed
mob of whites and blacks, the result
would have been far more wholesome,
and the example more potent as pre-
ventive or deterrent of crime. The
criminal classes have far more dread of
the courts than of mobs, and stand
more in awe of the sheriff than Of the
lynSher,

COAL MINERS STRIKE.
1t May Result in Coal Famine and In
crease the Price.

TERRE EAUTE, IND, Nov. 5.-Delegates
to the Indiana miners convention
here, late this evening, voted to strike
in support of the demands of the
block coal miners of the state, and
also for an increase of cents per ton
in the scale for themselves. There was
only one mine worked in Indiana to-day.
and that was at Clay City. The action of
to-day virtually throws all miners IN the
great coal fields on strike, as both block
and bituminous miners have now agreed
to join hands. The block coal miners would
hardly have ordered strike if to-day's
action of the bituminous miners had
been different, but now that the
miners present united front to
the operators, a long and desperate
battle is looked for. Already there is COM
plant from many quarters of the state that
there is a coal famine, and to-day's decis-
ion will have the effect Of increas-
ing the price of coal materially.
The block coal men demand a raise of 10
cents per tor. The agreement entered into
is that neither the block nor bituminous
miners will return to work till their de-
mands are acceded to.

BURNED OUT HIS BRAIN.
Caught on a Live Electric Wire Young
Man Meets a Horrible Death.

PANAMA, Nov. 5.-This city has had an
appalling experience of the electric wire s
rotent power to kill. Some boys at play de-
tached naked telephone wire and causSee
it to hang from the support to the
ground, trailing over the wires of
the electric light company. AT about Z p.
m. police lieutenant discovered the wire
hanging to the street and commenced to
haul it in and coil it about an old
gaslight post. The act OF drawing
the fine wire over the rubber insulation
OF the electric light wire caused it to cut
into and through the latter. Suddenly the
officer was seen to spring violently into the
air and fall back unconscious. Fortunately,
he had not received the full force OF the
current and soon recovered. =
A great crowd was instantly on the scene,
but were kept back by a policeman. while
another officer ran to notify the electric
light people. Meanwhile cab came
driving rapidly along. The policeman
shouted vigorously. ':Alto! Alto!" and
the crowd took up the warning cry in cho-
rus, but all to no purpose. As if driven by
fate the vehicle rushed on and right over
the deadly wire. INSTANTLY the horse
reeled and plunged headloug to the ground,
its flesh sizzling. The cab was
not overturned and the driver
animals aid. Regardless of warning yells
string that had upset his horse. At that
instant the wire swung across his forehead,
went right through the skull almost to the
ears and there remained, although the IN
fortunate victim fell forward over the
horse.
And now frightful scene. meyer to be for
gotten by the spectators, was witnessed.
The electric fluid literally filed the mans
head, and in moment brain and eyes had
been completely inclnerated. Then
the flesh and skin smoked and
sizzled until they also were reduced almost
to ashes. All the while the sparks played
about the head in an awful shower, the
eyes literally glowing with a consuming
fire.
1t was several minutes before the cleo
trio light could be turned off, and when it
was the body was found to be partially
burned to ashes, the head being completely
50. There We're at the time between
fifteen hundred and two thousand volts CO.
ing over the wires, and as the weight OF the
horse on the telephone wire had completely
cut through the insulation, the man, of
course, received the full blast of the cur
rent at the first contact.

THE OKLAHOMA UNION.
Buckskin Joe Says a Congressional Inves-
tiSation Is Necessary.
iowa PARE, TEX, Nov 5, 1891.

To the Gazette.
In our last letter to our colony we men
toned the reports that the troops we're
driving the cattle out of the Fort Sill coun-
try and burning the grass. We have taken
pains to investigate the matter and find it u
mistake. The grass is still there. and the
cattle also, both reported in good condition.
1t is safe to say that nothing short of an in
vestigatiou by congress will "bust'' the
cattle combine, Each member will be
called upon at the proper time TO do his
part towards bringing this about, full par
ticulars of which will be mailed each one at
the proper time. Here is the situation as
we understand it:
Someone Supposed to be an officer
swears ont complaint that John Doe,
Richard Roe land others have conspired
to cut and remove wood from the Indian
Territory. A warrant is then issued for
John Doe, Richard Roe land others"
AS John Doe and Richard Roe are still in
the old school book, the United States
deputy marshal prauks around the border
to catch some settler who has dared to
cross the river after load of old dead
sticks.
No one knows better than the marshal
that the settler is not in conspiracy with
John Doe and Richard Roe, except the man
who swears out the complaint But that
is not the worst picture of the situation.
There is and has been a real conspiracy to
cut and remove wood from the Territory
Timber has been cut and hauled out of the
Territory TO make over 100 miles of fence
(cattle pasture) and about 200 miles of fence
in the Territory.
It's safe to assume that this should not
have been done or should not exist to-day
except by the consent or knowledge of the
very man that swore out the fictitious COM
plant against John Doe, Richard Roe and
Others" Again, the marshals hunting
for John Doe, Richard Roe and ''others''
cannot get at the Others with their
load of drift wood except by going through
those cattle pastures. Why have they ar
rested so many hundred settlers and
never fined or imprisoned any on or after
trial! Because the officers are after fees
with fictitious complaints. How many dol
lars yearly the public purse is robbed of is
question for some congressman to settle,
as well ask why the real conspirators are
exempt from arrest Other informatiornS
will be mailed each one OF our colony next
week. j. S. WORKS,

Shooting PaddrmeIons.

Kangaroos are usually found in the open
or amid struggling bush, where it is very
difficult to get at them and where the
hunter may think himself lucky if he gets
more than one in day. One of the best
forms of sport in Australia is found in
shooting bush wallabies or paddymelons
which singular names are of native or
igin. Paddymelons are a small kangaroo,
standing about three feet In height, and
furnish the sportsman an opportunity to
display all his skill in shooting by the
quickness of their movements and the
difficult nature Of the country In which
they are found.-Bosson Journal

THE New York Legislature that was
elected last Tuesday is to choose a
United States senator to succeed Frank
Hiscock, Republican. 1t is very i'm
portant, therefore, in a national sense,
to have a Democratic majority. The
question of its political complexion
does not yet appear to be settled, as
the vote is so close in some of the dis
tricts that only the official figures can
tell who are elected, and there are
likely to be recounts and contests in
the closest of these districts.
