Washington dispatches of late date
state that in the course of the correspond
ence with the Italian government it Is to
be anticipated that Mr.. Blaine will fee
called upon to submit some of the griev.
ances of the United States government
If Italy has a right to interfere in behalf
of her subjects or alleged subjects, she
must at the same time admit response.
bility for certain Of their actions. There
has as yet been no official account of the
occurrences of Saturday. According Ia
the newspaper reports, when the acquittal
of the assassins by the jury which tried
them was announced, Italian sailors in
the port of New Orleans trampled and
heaped other indignities upon the Amer
lean flag. II these accounts are verified,
it will be Mr.. Blaine's duty to demand
reparatiOn for the insult As this insult
preceded the killing of the criminals, it
would seem that Italy must first apol-
ogize to us before expecting any expires
siOns Of regret on our part. The flag of
the United States waves from the top of
n lofty signal pole on the river front of
the city Not satisfied with turning the
American flag upside down on the masts
of their vessels and hOlsting their own
flag above It, these Italians tore the flag
from the signal pole where it tluttered
as the emblem of national authority and
ran up their own flag in its stead.
These facts and the acts of the cut-throat
Malta may place the situation in another
light before the thing ends Italy may
have been too prompt.

A despatch sent out under date of the
20th, says: "a petition for the removal
from Office of Henry II. Smith, County
clerk, signed by over 100 women and
many men, was presented to the Judges
of the Rutland County Court to-day.
The petition was started by the women,
and is signed by Mrs. State Treasurer
Field, Mrs. Ex-Governor Page, Mrs. Gen.
II. II. Baxter, Mrs. eX-Judge Prout
and many other ladies of the highest
social standing, including the wives of a
large number of professional and busi
ness men. The petition came immedi-
ately from war upon Smith by the
Herald of this place, which has been con-
tlnued two weeks, and involved his
domestic relations. A suit for divorce
has been brought by his wife. Smith has
been County clerk over 20 years, is a
lawyer and a scholar, has stood high in
the social and business community, is a
communicant in the Episcopalian church
and Past Grand Master of the State
Lodge of MasOns. He lives on one of
the best streets in town, and has cOnsid-
cradle money. Mrs. Smith has many
friends among the signers of the petit
ton. and is universally held in high es
TEEN. The only child of the pair is a
son, who developed extraordinary schol-
arly qualities, and is tutor in Johns
Hopkins University at Baltimore. Mrs.
Smith now lives with the son. Action

and the leader in their pranks was the
present massive deputy United States
marshal in Denver, Stimson. The post
master at this time was one IngersOll,
whose official position robbed him of all
ability to take joke. In consequence,
he was frequent butt. A favorlte trick
of the jOkers was to do up a piece of
meat, mark some fictitious address on it,
and pop it in the office, where it would
remain until the odor became unendura-
bic.
The climax was reached when close

ASupreme Judge Of Nebraska declares
that he will confirm no foreclosure sales

farmers can show that their failure TO
pay was due to failure of crops. This
relegates the payment of mortgage debt,

all right for the farmer, but the money

AIR AS FUEL.
A Wonderful Accomplishment in tho
Field of Science.

Wonderful Accomplishment in tho
Field of Science.
The marvels of scientific discovery and
mechanical invention crowd upon latter
day nineteenth century folk in a man
ner rivaling the play of kaleidoscope
figures. One accepts, nowadays, what
he sees, as his fathers did of old, but
unlike them, he is not prepared to dis
pute the possibility of anything within
the range of conception. One of the
most wonderful reasons of application
of human reason in employing an es-
sential element Of the universe for
human purposes is that described in a
recent issue of Bradstreet's by Mr..
Lorin Blodgett, well-known member
of the Franklin institute Of Philadel-
phia.
This is nothing else than the use of
atmospheric air as fuel. Air is mixed
with coal gas, as everyone knows, and
with hydro-carbon vapors, and the COM
pound when burned generates a much
greater heat than if the air was absent.
So, too, powerful air blast is a great
economizer in smelling and reducing
ores. But the new fuel is the air itself,
which in powerful blast is directed
upon an incandescent substance, say
coal made white hot, pure carbon or
any other materials that can be made
to glow. Coal hydrocarbons or what
not may be employed to give the initial
incandescence, but once the blast
strikes the luminous body, the utmost
intensity of heat is secured, apparently
by the combustion of the air, and may
be maintained for an indefinite period
by merely preserving the incandescence
of the surface, and this may be done by
slight manipulation of the surface
brought to incandescence, and with
some slight renewal of carbonaceous

Conspiracy to Assassinate Sew

THEY HAVE A DESPERATE FIGHT
Two Members of the Gang Captured by
Posse.

Que Hundred Masked Men Take the
pended Over a Bridge and Shot Several
Times-A Plaoard of Warning Tackled
On His Body.
MIDDLEsBoRo, KY, July 18.-A desper-
ate attempt was made to assassinate the
hiddiesboro police force yesterday after
noon about O'Clock. A lot of digreputa-
BILE characters who frequent Gum
Springs, low drinking and gamblin g
dive just outside the city limits, con-
cocted the plot to murder the officers.
They accordingly stationed about Is
of their gang along the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad, and two of their num-
Der began firing their Winchesters.
These two were Gillis johnson and
Frank Rossimus.
Chief Naples, with posse of officers,
went in pursuit Of the pair and were led
into the ambush. Over 100 shots were
exchanged.
Special Officer Dorsey Williams was
shot through both thighs, and Patrol
man Tucker was shot in the leg. The
police were forced to retire. They re-
turned to the city.
A posse of about 100 citizens armed
with rifles soon captured both despera-
does and lodged them in Jail.
About 4 a. m. a crowd of masked men
entered Jailer Bollitt's sleeping apart
ments at the Jail and with pistols at his
head demanded the keys to the jail The
jailer was forced to give up the keys.
The crowd then went into the Jail, took
Rossimus out and led him to the big
bridge over Canal and Goth street, where
he was shot several times.
A rope was then fastened about his
neck, and he was swung over the side of
the bridge until o'clock, when he was
cut down. A placard was tackled on the
bridge rail, just above the body, bearin g
this inscription:
"WARN1NG This is the fate of all
would-be murderers.
