4 Horse Thief Turns the Tables on Con-


TILLSEcRo, Texas, May 6.-Consta-
bic George w McCluskey, whose baili-
wick is in the western part of Hill
County, Texas, met with an experience
yesterday that will long remain fresh
in his memory. He arrested man
giving his name as Z. &. Lewis, on two
charges Of horse stealing pending in
the courts of Dallas, Texas, against
him. He kept the prisoner and the al
legged stolen stock in his possession and
charge for some hours. When he start
ed for Hillsborro, some thirty miles dis
tant, for the purpose of reporting to
Sheriff Cox with his booty, Lewis sue
ceeded in convincing the constable that
it was all Il mistake about his having
stolen the property, and OF his trip to
Hillsboro McClusky omitted to hand
cuff his prisoner. The officer necked
the two alleged stolen horses together,
placed his prisoner on one and rode
the other himself. After they had
travelled short distance Lewis. who
was much larger than the officer, sud-
denly turned in his saddle and dealt
McCluskey blow with his fist which
for the time being rendered him un-
conscious, and also dlsmounted MN.
Lewis then dismounteG, secured the
officers pistol and proceeded to beat
him up in an unmerciful manner. Con-
stable McCiu key regaining his senses,
and finding his pistol gone, pleaded
with his late prisoner for his life. The
later finally desisted from his blows,
covered the officer with his pistol he
had robbed him of, forced him to- take
pair of handouts from his pockets
and lock himself to barb-wlre fence
near by and then throw the key to the
lock on the handouts in brush pile.
Lewis then robbed the officer OF Sl4O
in cash, which he had in his pocket,
swapped hats with him, shot one OF the
horses dead, mounted the other, and
withhis captor's fine saddle, pistol,
brand new hat and the money above
mentioned in his possession, cooliy up.
ped his hat to Officer McCluskey, and
after wishing him good luck proceeded
on his Journey as though nothing had
transpired to mar the serenity Of the
surroundings. Parties passing along
the road after the lapse OF sometime
discovered the unfortunate officers
predicament, and liberated him b?
breaking the fence wire. Every effort
made thus far to effect the capture of
this modern Claud Duval has proved
futile. At this time there are twenty
Texas sheriffs on the lookout Tor Lew
is. It is not thought, however, that II
will be possible to each him without
bloodShed, as capture would inevitably
result in many years confinement IN
the penitentiary Tor him. Officer Nc
Cluskey is badly beaten and bruised up
and is very much chagrined to think ne
could be so thoroughly taken IN. tie
is regarded as one Of the bravest and
most humane officers in Texas.

pe.ectire o.Malley Speaks.

NEW ORLEANS. May. THE papers
here published full column statement
by Detective D. C. O'Malley, giving an
account of his career since his arrival
in this city in 1878. 1t gives the details
of his employment by a number OF re-
spectacle people and his connection
with several famous criminal cases. IN
some OF which he assisted the State.
He then goes over the old Matranga
ProyenZano case and finally the Hen
messy case. He reasserts his belief that
the five Italians who were tried for
numbering Hennessy were innocent.
O'Malley says: GAS to my theory OF the
murder I have one of course. but IN the
absence of any direct evidence should
not like to say what that theory IS.
It is certainly not any Malta or dago
business. Perhaps l may, at some 1u-
ture day, speak further on this subject,
at which time will have something, TO
substantiate the statement l may make.
I will advance 20 theory now, as by so
doing l may throw suspicion on portles
who may be pc, fectly innocent" In
conclusion O'MaIey says: u desire to
say this conscious of my innocence, and
in opposition to the advice of my friends
I refused to leave the city, and surrend-
cred as soon as had intlmatlon tnat l
had been indicted. I am not afraid OF
all investigation and only ask for fair
trial. Nv life has been threatened and
it is being bruited about that after
suall have been allowed to enjoy form
of trial, if the jury should be weak
enough or foolish enough to acquit me,
l shall not be permitted to live in this
community. I cannot make up my
mind to believe that this represent the
sense of this community"

Tiilman doea nos me isure up to Col.
Talbert's ideal of a loyal Allianceman.
"Jncle George" I'll man, the Gov
errors brother, who now represeuts
the Second Congressional district, is an
Allianceman, and holds to the same
anti-sub- treasury views as his brother
Ben. Measured bv Col Taiberts yard
stick" it would appear that "Uncle
George" has no business in the ALI
ance, much less in Congress rs a repre-
sentative of Allianceuen.
Hereby hangs the tale, for it is be
lievel in many quarters that Col. Tai
bert has an eye on the second district
and that tne next campaign will see
him gghti3g George d. Tillman for the
seat sith the treasury as the issue.
That would mean 4 break with Ben.
Tillman, OF whom he has been an ar
dent supporter heretofore. This is the
talk here. l? my interview with Col,
Taibert he said nothing to Justlfo such
conclusions.
These are some Of the phases of the
political situation in Carolina as they
strike an outsider.

For The Press.) TO THE LATE GENERAL SHERMAN.
BY wM. RAwsoN.

What is our life-even the greatest life
 A bigger wave along the sea of time, A nobler purpose, higher skilled, more rife
 With all the attributes that seem sublime. They stay not, thoagh the ruthless hand of
 death,
 That bears away the noble and the brave, The greatest, dearest, yield their parting breath And share alike, alas, common grave. But there's an immortality for those
 Mobiles of nature, rich in native worth They live through every age, life knows no
 close,
 Though frail mortality return to earth. Their strategy in war, their purpose deep, Heroic judgment, execution fine, Startling, Overwhelming by the mighty sweep Of the dread charge against opposing line. A country's glory, honor, borne along
 Upon the battle flag, in every breast, That fired the right to battle with the wrong, While towering to all ages stands confessed The mighty chieftain, Sherman, first and last The phoenix in the galaxy of fame, That won our battles in the glorious past,
 And to all time an ever glorious name. From shore to shore nation mourns her dead, A patriot soldier, all that makes man; The noble spirit from the clay hath fled,
 Full of true greatness the allotted span. ~' Thy memory shall stir to noblest deed
 Columbia's sons, the bulwark of the land Thy impress on the future we shall read,
 Indelible the never dying brand.

This is from the Holland County


 There is an aged woman in Ellington who is deaf and nearly totally blind, who is en- gagged, with assistance of friends, in securing one million cancelled postage stamps. She has been engaged in the work, almost unaid- ed, for year, and now has 75,OOO. Now her friends in the chnrch and many children are interesting themselves, and it is hoped that before many months the million will have been secured. She wishes any kind of cancelled stamp. It should be cut from the envelope but need not be detached from the paper There is method in this seeming madness, for she is trying to take up the offer made by gentleman in New York to give $1OO to every old lady that shall secure g million cancelled stamps, the money to be used in securing her entrance into 8 certain old ladies' home. Rockville people and oth- CTS who wish to help the old lady can send their stamps to this office or to Box "A, El- lington. Children might collect large num- Der from business men.
 Now will some of the others who have aided some good old lady to collect mil lion cancelled stamps tell their experiences, and whether the results satisfied ybody. It has again and again been publisht d that the alleged stamp collector was fake, and the Heutenants who worked for him were being humbugged, and we have be- lieved this to be the fact. If we are mis- taken we shall be glad to be set aright; if not, should wish to help stop the fruitless pains being taken by we'll meaning people.

Hain't never been drunk yet but I'm a. going to fore long,"
 Bernice, much to his astonishment, burst into tears.
 "Oh, how can you?" she sobbed s'please don't, boy,-it's wicked to drink 'n' smoke n swear-it surely is I do wish you wouldn't"
 The boy turned on his heel and gave low whistle of surprise, then slunk away as the others began to regard him with evident disfavor.
 ''I steals!" piped up g litle voice; "I steals-I do-that's wot do! Bernice turned, half frightened, but wholly pitiful. makes you? Don't you think it's wrong It is, cause the Bible says so."
 None of the children had noticed that it was growing dusk-that their slow wan- derings and frequent stops had taken hours, and that the day was gone.
 Bernice sat down on door step, earnest little preacher, and the ragged, dirty group gathered around her. She told them Bibles stories and sang little song or two for them and asked them questions. Alto gether it was very successful meeting of the-but there the new society was yet without namel
 Just as she was instructiong the boy who wasn't very clean regarding his duties as ''scratchatary" an anxious voice with lit- tie tremble in it broke into the crowd 'sHave any of you seen little girl-a little girl with red" He didn't say 'dress" for in that same instant the owner and wearer of the red dress was caught up into a pair of muscular young arms.
 "Why, Bob! p said Bernice pleased and surprised, ''is it you ?" See my s'ciety," and she pointed to the staring, open mouthed children.
 But Bob did not finger.
 Bearing the lost child in his arms he hurried homeward through the darkening streets.
 When Bernice curled herself up kitten fashion between her own little white sheets that night, with Mamma's last kiss still dewy on her lips and Bess' bunch of sweet violets breathing out their fragrance on her pillow, she smiled wisely to herself. 'Little girls is made lots O fuss about when they gets lost, anyway" she mur- mured sleepily and then, her little prayer
 "Dear Lord, do please my s'ciety. Oh, Oh, make 'em all good n don't let that boy drink no more, or that other boy swear, or that other boy steal Don't let 'em, please, Lord. For Jesus sake, Amen. ."-Ha7riet Fr0nceaae CrocEer.

(Norwich Bulletin.) ABANDONED FARMS.

A peculiarly interesting bulletin has just been issued by the Massachusetts bu- reau of labor statistics on the "abandoned farms" of that state.
 Out of total acreage of 3,671 ,833 acres in all the farms of the state, the "aban- doned farms' have an acreage of 36,509. The total value of the farms of the state is about $94, ,O00, ,000 the value of the ''aban- doned farms" is assessed at tride over $1 ,O00, 900. About three and half per cent. of the farming land is abandoned ;' a little over one per cent. of the assessed valuation of the farms of the state is in these abandoned farms" There has been fin the last ten years an actual increase in the amount of cultivated land amounting, between 1875 and 1885, to 1000 acres. During the same ten years the average size of farms increased from 7S to 88 acres, and the average value per farm from 8 200 ito $3 800.
 This isn't such terribly bad showing. The percentage of increase in the number of acres cultivated during ten years is al- most the same as the percentage of "aban- doned farms" in the state. It looks as if, taking the state as whole, the amount of fresh land annually reclaimed from woods and swamps, etc., was just about equal to 4aO5aAAAOUAe 0AAunAAy aOhuAOAcu aS WOIA out.
 And, talking of the Abandoned farms'' and the Hdseadence of New England agri- culture, of which we are asked to believe so much by some of our pessimistic friends, a little story recently told by Brattleboro, Vt. paper is of intert st. The hero of the story is 8 Vermont man who went to Da- kota some years since, in order to get g farm on which he could support his family in comfort, and build up place for him. seM He spent three years in Dakota, struggling as desperately as he knew how to accomplish the object he had in view, then he gave it up, and came back to Yer mont. He purchased one of these ''aban- doned farms" which had been deserted by its previous owner as practically incapable of supporting family, and was able to pay only $50 down on his purchase. In the three years which he has given to work on this abandoned farm, he has given his family, varying from six to ten, persons, 8 comfortable living has pad $500 on the farm has made repairs costing $300 on his buildings; and has $450 worth of stock, all paid for. But he has done his own work, has not hired others to do it for him, and has put into it as much energy and foresight as he found it was necessary for him to do in Dakota to keep from starving.
 He now says that nothing would tempt him to return to Dakota that farming on an abandoned farm" in Vermont is not only easier, but pays better.

TRIP TO THE BATTLE-FIELDS.

A committee appointed at the last re- union of the Fourteenth Connecticut regi- ment, for the purpose of arranging an ex- cursion to the battle. fields, J. O. Broatch, of Middletown, chairman, has issued cir cular with details of the proposed trip. The vote was to the effect that the next annual meeting be held at Antietam, Sep- tember IT, 179l. "A party of 200 or more will secure special train, which will ep. sure several important advantages. The plan contemplates leaving Jersey City by cars, on Monday, the 14th, or Tuesday, the 18th, of September, for Gettysburg thence, on Wednesday, the 18th, to Antiet- am (Keedysyille, Md.); thence, on Fri day, the 18th, to Washington, stopping on the way few hours at Harper's Ferry Bolivar Heights) thence to Fredericks- burg, Va. ;. thence back to Washington and thence return to New York. It in. cludes a stay. of one day, or one and three foufths, at Gettysburg nearly two days at Antietam, where will be held the an. nual meeting and g genuine camp -fre,- both upon the regiments own part of the battlefield, if ;pOsaible, and about two days at Fredericksburg. Ample time will he allowed by the railroad company for stay of tive or more days at Washington. The estimated necessary expense of the trip, covering railroad fares in full from New York back tosNew York board, at best rates, at all places named except Washing. ton; meals by the way, and ride over the battlefield of Gettysburg -only $40. Those
 who choose to tramp the fields and short stages instead of riding, to carry way lunches, and to secure cheaper living (good
 board in private fannilies) at Gettysburg gWashington-not included in the above estimate will depend on the length of 2 persons stay there, and the character ol the aecommodations desired.
