He Has just Returned From = European
Trip.


He Has just Returned From . European
Trip.
Mr.. Charles A. Dana OF the New York
Sun is good reporter. He has just come
back from another trip to Europe. He
knows what other fellows want to hear
about. and for the benefit OF those who
may read this he has taken the trouble to
pick out few superlatives from the
things that he has to say about this last
trip.
The greatest thing In Europe is the
Jung Frau" said Mr. Dana. with sweep
OF his arm that gave good idea OF the
Jung Frau's height. 1t is superior to
everything In beauty and In It's wonderful
effect on the imagination. II stands there
In July just as In January. Its peaks white
with snow and with the sun shining on 1t
as clear to the eye at great distances as
the front OF the City Hall over yonder.
Say that every traveller should see the
Jung Frau without fail. and see her from
Interlaken.
"The most beautiful thing that I ever
saw was the body OF young girl In Pom
peli. She lay face downward. with her
head resting upon her arms, perhaps
asleep. The accident which wiped out q
city did not disturb her. The ashes from
the volcano settled down on her, packed
with the weight OF centuries. and when
with time her body had crumbled to a
handful OF dust, the ashes and powder
from the volcano formed perfect mold OF
her form. or this mold the marvelously
skilled men working at the restoration oil
the dead city have taken cast, which
saw. The young girl. who might have
been twenty years old, was clad In SIN
gle garment. No beautiful form was
ever imagined by a sculptor"
Mr.. Dana said that he could not say
much about his travels next year. He In
timated that 1t might be necessary for
him to start on q long journey in the
meantime, but admitted. when asked, that
he did have some hope Of going to Japan
before going to heaven.-N. Y. Press.

ported yesterday that Florence Blythe,

says that though such an engagement did
exist mt one time, IL has now been broken

An Approach to Perpetual Motion.

A clock is TO be seen at Brussels which
comes about as near being perpetual mo-
ton machine as can be invented, for the
the method by which IL works: A shaft
draught of air, which sets the fan ia mo
tion. The fan actuates mechanism which
the fan till the weight has gone down
little, when the fan is again liberated, and
proceeds to act as before. As long as the
sun shines frequently enough, and the ma.
chinery does not wear out, the clock will
keep in perpetual motion.-London Tit

Some Interesting Calculations.


The United States furnishes most strik-
ing illustration Of the enormous benefits
gained by the people at large through the
introduction of machinery, and to what
extreme straits the country would be
brought II it undertook TO perform its
work in the old way According to returns
the mechanical industries of this country
are carried on by steam and water power,
representing In round numbers $500, 900
horse power, each horse power equaling
the muscular labor of six men; thac is to
say, if men are employed to furnish the
power to carry on the industries of this
country, it would require 81, 100000 men,
and 2k990, 900 men represent population
of 105, ,OOO, 900. The industries are now car
ried on by 4,o00. 900 persons. in round num-
bers, representing population Of 20, 0,0O0. 900
only.
There are in the United States 2s600 To-
comotives To do the work Of these upon
the existing roads of the country aud the
equivalent Of that which has been done
upon the railroads in one year would re-
quire, in round numbers, 54,0OO,0OO horses
and 13, 500, 900 men. The work is now done.
so far as men are concerned, by 25O,OOo.
representing population of l,25O,oo0,
while the population required for the num-
Der Of men necessary to DO the work with
horses would be 81, 100000.
To do the work, then, now accomplished
by power and machinery in our mechanical
industries and upon our railroads would
require men representing a population OF
IT., 800, 900, in addition to the present popu-
lation of the country of 5000, 900, or a
total population, with hand processes and
horse power, Of 23i, 500, 900, which popula-
tion would be obliged to subsist on present
means.-St. Louis Republic.

A LOUISIANA VENDETTA. !.
Thirty-Five Lives Sacrificed to Insatiat
Vengeance.

Ih1rty-f1ye Lives Sacrificed to Insatiate
Vengeance.
John Ramsay, the last principal In; the
Ramsay -Tuggle feud, in which SO many
lives have been sacrificed in Louisiana dur.
ing the last few months. was fcully assas4
sinated, with a companion, within sight of
his own home in Claiborne Parish. There.
have been numerous family feudS in LoRsi-
ana, but none in which more assassnatfons
have been committed than this. A d6zen:
white men and nearly twice as many negroGs
have been slain, and it is striking and. sig
nticant fact that every one OF the murdered
men was shot in the back.
On Sunday Ramsay was called away on
business. lie was returning home late that
night In his wagon, accompanied by his
brother Sam and negro. man and woman.
He was half mile from his home and three
miles from Herner, when suddenly, with
out the slightest warning, voilry Was
opened on him. Ramsay never spoke or
knew what was the matter. for he resolved
a charge of twenty buckSh1t in the back,
which killed him instantly. The Negro
Williams, who was seated beside him 90
the wagon. also fell over dead with foHr
bullets in him. Sam Ramsay received two
bullets through his hat, but he. and the
negro woman escaped and managed TO get
the wagon Co the house.
By this time the people of Claiborne had
grown so sick and tired of these assassinati0ns
that the Sheriff was urged to take the most
energetic steps to unearth the niurdererS,
Bloodhounds were put on the scent, but il
was too cold, aud up to the present time not
the slightest trace had been found of the
murderers. Suchis the status of the Tuggte7
Ramsay feud of to-day. There areiseyeral
fear i'll Claiborne Parish is that they Will
take il up and continue it.-N Z. Press.

BULLETS FOR AN EhOPER.

He Stole Phelps Wife and. Was Killed
for 1t. ::
Last night, near Barboursville, John
Phelps, a prominent farmer, shot and in
stautIy killed William Hance under the.
most sensational circumstances. says a
Huntington, (W.Va.,) dispatch to the Phi.a-
delphia Record. Phelps is wealthy and
popular. Three years ago he married a,
beautiful young wife, and the couple lived
happily until Hanee appeared in the Neigh
borhood six months ago. Hance was
notorious desperate, who took part in the
romfield-Runyon feud. and had the repuo:
taton OF having killed five men at-diffsrent
times.
In some unaccountable manner the villain
won Mrs. Phelps affections, and on August:
1st the couple eloped. They went to Iron
ton and lived rs man and wife until Hance's
money was exhausted, when he o1iered his
guilty companion to return to- her husband
aud steal money She knew he possessed. :,
The woman refused, and HaHce retuFHed
to Barboursvlle with her In person. aud
yesterday the guilty couple marched bSldly
up to Phelps house, called him out, and
Hance demanded money alleged to be due
Mrs. Phelps. At the same time Hance b.
gn oto abuse Phelps, and made a-motion TO
draw his revolver. The latter was ioUquiek
for him. and, drawing his pistol, shot Hanc6
through the abdomen. The desperate;
turned to run, and fell dead at the Second
shot from Phelps pistol. =.
Mrs. Phelps who had watched the affair,
drove to the home of her father, a reSpecta-
BILE farmer, and two hours later made a fu-
tile attempt to commit suicide. Hance has
terroriZed the community for months, and
no man could be found to molest hini,
Phelps will not be arrested, as PUBLIC
opinion suStains him.
