Had to Travel In Nevlige.

Duringa very hot night three Austrian
cavalry officers were on a train which
sped from Pesth to Vienna As they
had a compartment for themselves they
sought 10 travel as comfortably as pos
able. First coats and vests disappeared,
then collars and cuffs and so on until
nothing remained on their bodies except
night clothing. 1t was so sultry they
remained awake all night When the
train stopped at one station one of the
party remarked that it would be a good
idea to have something to drink, and he
hastily threw an OvercOat over his body
and ran to the bar of the station house.
Whether the bartender was too sleepy
or the officer too SLOW, TO the despair of
the latter and his comrades the train set
in motion when he was at the door of
the restaurant. The two other officers
had first hearty laugh and then pitied
him for the condition he was in. But
their comrade was not of the anxious
kind. As soon as he discovered that the
train was in motion he ran quickly after
it and was lucky enough to reach the
steps of the last car, on which he re-
mained until the next station was reached.
When he made his appearance among
his comrades they were much astonished,
and one of them said why, when we
saw you left behind we threw your gar
ments out of the window in the hope
that you would get themr' Nothing
could be done but telegraph to the other
station to have some one pick up the
garments and forward them by the next
train.-New York Recorder.

A Soft Answer.

Francois is an excellent servant, and
always sits up for his master. One night
Viscount de B., Francois master,
came home from his club at o'clock in
the morning. He found his faithful
valet in the bedroom, reclining fast
asleep on the sofa near the fire. Instead
Of waking him, he quietly undressed and
got into bed. Ten minutes afterward
Francois awoke and exclaimed: "Past 8
o'clock and the beast hasn't come in YETI
The viscount raised his head and said
in very gentle voice: "You may go to
bed, Francois; the beast has got back to
its lair. r."-L'Univers.

A professor of Yale has confessed to a
superstition. It consists of putting on
and taking off his clothes in regular
way. The right shoe, the right leg of
his trousers, the right sleeve to shirt or
coat, are always put on first, because of
a foolish idea that somehow or other
mishaps would follow favoring the left
shoes, sleeves and legs in such way.

OMAHA, Neb., July 10.-A special tele-
gram from Ellis, Neb., snys: ''Some time
last night the most horrible tragedy ever
enacted in this section of Nebraska oc-
Cured. This afternoon Mrs. DR.. Allen, of
Beatrice, came to Ellis on visit to her
brother, John II. PuterbauRh, who lives a
mile and a half south of town. She
was driven to the farm by Iouis
Petting and knocked at the door, but re-
ceived no reply. They entered, the door
not being locked, and found horrible
state of affairs. Her brother was lying on
the floor. his face covered with blood. In
bed was his mother with n ballet through
her head. In bed with her was Il two-year-
old baby, also shot through the head. On
n lounge in the room was another bed oc-
cupied by two young girls, ono 13 and
one Is. both dead with bullet holes
in their heads. How they met their
torrible fate is yet unknown. The genera |
belief is that the terrible deed was the work
of the husband and father. The faces Of
the dead, although covered with blood,
were calm as though sleeping. All seemed
to have been killed while sleeping and
were shot directly through the skull.
Puterbaugh was not a drinking man. He
suffered from the grip last spring and since
then has not been in the best of health. 1t
is thought he killed his family and commit

PTTTsBURa, July 10.---A special from Erie,
Pa, says: "Edinboro. seat of the Edinboro
State German school, is the scene of great
excitement tonight. News has just been
received of bloody battle between Suretts
and Cobb families on ono side, and Ander

have to-day been serving warrants, and it
is Thought the vendetta will not be Cal ried
much further unless friends of the families
meet. Some time ago Frank Anderson was
arrested at the instance of Charles Surett
for larceny, but the prosecution failed.
Since then ench putty pe-sistently shot and
manned each others cattle. Warrants
were sworn out and Erie officers started to
arrest the Andersons. Last night Frank
Surett and Charles Cobb entered Ander-
sons premises. and Frank Delos and Sosel
Anderson and Sansar McGallan opened
fire ut long range. Fire was
returned. The Andersons charged and
Frank fell, shot through the breast. Am
munition gave out and fists and knives
we're used. Cobbs' throat was cut from ear
to ear but not deep enough to reach tho
jugular. All parties were more or less
injured. Frank Apdeison's recovery is
doubtful. Officers arrested all parties on
the charge of an attemut to murder. Blood
shed is feared when the parties are tried to-

LONDON, July 10.-The emperor. after
banquetting with the duke of Cambridge
at Gloucester house, finished the day at the
state ball at Buckingham palace. Tho din
ner was largely military and naval af-
fair. The emperor, in a short speech. made
franker reference to hopes of alliance in
England arising from his cordial welcome
in this city than probably Lord Salisbury
liked to hear. Only an echo of imperial
words have yet reached the outside official
circle present. yet words in some form will
soon find an outlet. There are increasing
fears that tho emperor intends the political
results of his visit shall be of
momentous consequence. After conclusion
of the public function tomorrow
at Wimbledon, the emperor will pro-
ceed to Lord Salisbury's seat, Hatfield
house, There tho prolonged almost daily,
conferences between the English premier
and tho emperor's foreign secretary will
close with conference at which the EN-
peror will he present. 1t will be impossible
to persuade tho French and Russian gov
ernments that all this means anything but
the practical absorption of England in the
central European alliance.

spection to different homes throughout the

board, said, to-day that the great problem
now is where to put all the old soldiers who
apply for quarters. There are many hum
dreds of them i'll poor houses throughout
the country, aud the board cannot give
quarters to half of these unfortunates who
seek admission to the home. Appropria-
tions by congress are altogether to small to
allow of any great extension OF quarters

announced that President Clarkson, of the

home to-day. Upon his arrival in New
York the national league will begin to boom
all along the line. President Clarkson has
written friend here that he proposed to
have every state thoroughly organized
before the close of the present year.
There is an interesting lot of inside gossip
in connection with President Clarkson's
business future. 1t is claimed that he has
informed friend that he proposed to
place himself at the head of Il republican
paper in Chicago. Those that are inti-
mate with him here believe that he proposes
to start a penny morning paper and have it
running before the national campaign of
