the spri"g Of 1877 From the time
Of the war until the year named,
several persons claimed to have fire.
qnent!y seen an animal in the form Of
n large red deer, with the head and
neck of a man.
On the day that the animal was
killed DR.. Coll,ns's wife and negro
gi'l were going along an unused path
when they saw the queer creature
peering vt them through the under
brush. They made haste and in
formed the doctor what had occurred.
He took his gun aud stated out i"
search of the beast, which he soon
overstouk and shot. a closer inspec-
tion showed that the head, instead of
being tina. of man, more nearly re.
semb!ed that of a baboen. Its eyes
were large aud very prominently Sc,
in the sides of its head.
A long fringe of brown beard
covered the chin and neck. DIR. Col.
Inns says that when he ca,ne up with
the creature and leveied his gun ut it,
it seemed 10 he aware Of its great
danger, the large eyes melting into
tears as it saw the utter hopelessness
of the case.
When shot it uttered a hcartrend

distress 1t is generally believed that
the creature was species of Mexican

A COMPLETE TIE-UP.
The Lake Erie & Western Strike
Becoming Serious,


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 21.-The
Lake Erie strike presents no new feat
ures tonight. No trains were moved
to-day at Lafayette. and Supt. Hill,
who went there this morning, states
that no effort was made to run
train. None of the strikers offered to
return to work. The freight house here
was closed at noon to-day. throwing out
OF employment about fifty men, making
tie number now out over LOCO. EN-
ployment bureaus at Chicago, Detroit,
st. Louis, Cincinnati and Cleveland
have been enlisted and have begun
to secure men who will go to
Lafayette to-morrrw. Sunday morning
the management will begin to move
trains from Lafayette which were made
up by the switching crews to-day. No
violence is anticipated, but the COM
pany is fully prepared to protect its
property. Passenger trains still run,
but no other departments are operat-
ing, the road being completely tied up.
Manager Bradbury and the local public
are confident that the blockade will be
lifted Monday and without blOodshed.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 2l.-The
strikers here are still firm. They have
been in session all morning, but nothing
has developed. The meeting has ap-
pointed a committee to visit Michigan
City, Peru. Lima, Peoria and Indianap-
oils to confer with the strikers there.
The committee applied for passes and
were refused, whereup0n. when the 12:45
p. IN. passenger train east arrived here.
the strikers uucoupled all but the mail
car from engine. and threatened to de-
tain the rest of the train. Thereupon
the passes were furnished them, and
the train was permitted to proceed.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 21.-There is no
practical change in the strike situation
to-day. Owing to an error in tele-
graphing the men who were to take the
strikers place did not come to-day, but
will arrive tonight or tomorrow. The
strikers say they will shoot the first man
who attempts to couple car.
FINDLAY, Aug. 21.-The strike on
the Lake Erie & Western railroad is
extending, and unless some terms are
soon agreed upon the entire line will
be blOckaded, passenger trains and all.
A similar state of affairs exists at st.
Marv'S and Lima, O..

CHICAGO BLACKMAILERs.
Four Employees of Siegel, Cooper &
Co. Arrested.

CHICAGO, Aug, 21.-Four men were
locked up at the central police station
last night for conspiring to blackmail
Siegel, Cooper q Co. out of $780,
600. Their names are Thomas Higgins,
William Dalton, John Anderson and
George Washington. The last three
named are negroes. BEFORE the recent
fire which destroyed. the big notion
house of Siegel, Cooper 81 Co., and
caused total loss of about$l 100000, the
men were employees of the firm. While
the ruins were still smOnldering, the
men under arrest and two others en-
tered into contract to get $4,000 from
the insurance companies by Offering
to show that the fire was of
inceudiary origin and that members
of the firm had put a torch to
the building. Fire Inspector Conway
listened to the men and he at once be-
came convinced that it was a black
mailing scheme. Detectives were put
on track of the men. The cOnSplratOrs
were closely watched, and have on sew
eral occasions been overheard drilling
each other in the testimony they would
give before the fire inspector and in
surance adiusterS. 1t is believed that
one of the parties is guilty of setting
the building on fire, and in order to
divert suspicion from himself he IN
weighed the others into the Matchmaking
scheme.

RUSSIA PREPARING.
Troops Increased on the Austrian
Frontier.

LONDON. Aug. 21.-An enormous in
crease of the Russian troops on the Au-
strian frontier is reported. The Bessa-
rabia frontier guards, formerly a mere
gendarmerie corps to prevent snug
Cling, have grown into permanent al
vance guard, ready to invade Austria
on a few hours notice. Large forts
and observation towers are being rapid
ly built, and the Russian government
has given a heavy subsidy to the Black
Sea q Danube Shipping company to
erect a large dockyard at REM, and to
forward troops to any part of the Black
sea. The construction of pontoons is act
lively proceeding at REM, to be placed
at various towns for the transportation
of troops, and barracks are being built
in the vicinity of REM for 5000 men.

Destitute Immigrant7.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. - United
States Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, who is chairman of the mmigra-
ton committee of the senate, recently
addressed letter to the secretary If
thetreasury expressing the opinion that
congress never intended to author 2e Il
system or general pract &C f pc m tting
the landing of immigrants belonging O
any prohibited class, simply upon their
furnishing bond to the effect that they
should not become a public charge.
Acting Secretary Nettleton, writing in
reply to Senator Chandler. states in sub
stance that the question thus raised has
not failed to receive proper considera-
ton by the treasury department and
that it is not the intention to permit the
practice of bonding destitute immigrants
to grow up into system.

Is Still Master Of the Sit
uation.
Queen Victoria and Admiral
Gervais Say Hello and
How Dye Do.
a High Old Time in the So
cialistie Congress--Eu-
ropean Drift.

IoNpoN. Aug. 21.-Parnelrs letter.
admitting the inaccuracy of the amount
said to have been drawn by Mr.. Dillon
from the evicted tenants fund, has
brought to a pause the wretched contro-
versy in the Irish cOmmonerS' ranks,
which really centers in the desire OF
zach side to obtain control of the Paris
fund. MIR. Parnell, brought to bay, Is
netting out the same treatment 10
Messrs. Dillou and O'Brien which he
has already melted out to the HealyItes
and the Liberal leaders, but he
is fighting an impossible pat
tie. Nobody doubts the scrupulous
integrity Of Mr.. Morley, and, on the
question Of veracity. Mr. Parnell, with
his record of the widest statements,
stands no chance Of credence. How
ever, he still knows the weak points IN
his enemies armOr, and compels them
10 vince and take refuge in antiquities.
This
Unedifying Spectacle,
which gains undeserved attention, oc-
CURING as it does at the deadest part of
the political season, can have but one
result-the destruction of lreland's
chances of home rule. The Tory press
and party are delighted that Mr.. Par
nell has succeeded i'll drawing from
Messrs. Gladstone and Morley an
admission of anxiety to reach MI
Parnell through secret channels.
Long leaders in the Tory papers dwell
upon the discontinue and humiliation
of the Liberal leaders, while the Lib
eral press vainly appeals to the party to
leave Mr.. ParnelI alone. The clerlcalS
are incensed at MessrS. OBrien and
Dillon for adhering to the plan OF CAM
palgn in defiance of Rome. Altogether,
the position of the Irish problem, from
whichever side it is viewed,is extremely
perpleXing. The only patent fact Is
that Parnell is misled. The apathy OF
the Parnellite organization and the con-
slant &C ession of Parnellites to the Ma
tiOnal federation have induced the latter
organization to instruct its registration
agents for election lists to make no dis
tinction between Parnellites and Nc
CarthyiteS.

The Kaiser May Grant His Plea

The Kaiser May Grant His Plea
and Remove Duties.
BERLIN, Aug. 2l.-The crisis in the
cabinet waits the action of the kaiser,
who has not yet signifed his purpose,
but the impression continues that DR..
MIGUEL will have his way, The kaiser
has been growing colder towards Ca
priv, while he is more friendly to Count
Waldersee, from whom lie was. for some
time, apparently alienated. The kaiS-
er's knee is improving rapidly, fact
which gives denial TO the reports of gen.
eral bad health.
1t has been stated that Herr MIGUEL,
minister of finance, who holds close
personal and official relations with the
emperor, and who is in favor of remOv
ing the grain duties, has made a per-
sOnal petition to his majesty, requesting
him to suspend for three months the
collection of import duties on grain. as
the chancellor general. Won Caprivi,
had declined to further discuss this
question at the cabinet meetings This
story gained considerable credence, but
it is officially denied that Herr MIGUEL
has taken any SUCH action as that i'm
puted to him.
VIENNA, Aug. 21.-The semi-official
Neus Freie PreSse cOmmends the firm
attitude taken by the German govern
ment upon the question of the corn
duties. The FreSse adds that the Ger
man government. in this connection,
has shown a Statesmanlille appreciation
of the true commercial interests of the
country, and that in refusing to be
swayed by the present agitation and
in taking part in the negotiations for
tripartite zolverein with Austria and
Italy, theGerman government had chiefly
the interests of German industry in view.
These interests, continues the Presse,
are of such vital Importance that they
must override all idea Of a repeal of the
corn duties. The price of corn, accord
ing to the PresSe. is not greatly inflated
by the duties placed on corn, and the
recent rise in grain. it thinks, will be
short lived, yet it says higher prices
would compensate the farmers for dim
inished haTveSts.
The expectation of rye from Russia to
Germany goes on with feveriSh haste.
All frontier stations are cOngested with
wagons. IL is estimated that 1000
wagons will pass Eydtkuhnen alone
before the 9th. The total quantity from
Poland is estimated at 10000 tons. The
army magazines arc buying wheat and
serving out half rye and half wheat ra-
tiOns. The price of rye at kOvno has
fallen from 1855 to % cODeckS per pound

BUNGLING EXECUTIONS.
They May Lead to AboIishing
Capital Punishment.

Ihey May Lead to ADOlIShIng
Capital Punishment.
LONDON, Aug. 21.-The hideous scene
enacted at the Conway execution has
caused an cutlery throughout the coun-
try which is not unlikely to prove the
beginning of the end of capital punish
ment. and is certain in any case to
greatly strengthen the agitation for its
abolition. The exclusion of reporters
from executions has long been a sore
subject, and as the officials rave fully
exercised this power in many cases, an
uneasy suspicion exists that other similar
butcheries may have been hushed
up. In this instance reporters were
present, but they were hurried off as
soon as it transpired what had occurred.
The eXecutiOner declares that the drop
stipulated for by the authorities is much
too great, but his protest was of no
avail, but it is also rumored that he was
carouslng on the previous night, and at
present it is impossible to say where the
blame lies. The public will insist upon
rigid inquiry, especially as there are
statements af1Oat that at the execution
at Wandsworth last week a juryman
found the rope saturated with blood,
but was not allowed to see the neck of
the victim, which was covered with
thick Wadding.

A BANK sUsPENDs.
The Farley National, OF Montgom-
cry, in Distress.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 21.-A
few minutes after IL o'clock noon to-
day President Hall, of the Farley Ma
tional bank, posted notice on its doors
that the bank, by a vote of the direc-
tors, had agreed to suspend pay
ment temporarily, the cause stated
being inability to raise money to
make good paper drawn by
others, discounted by the bauk and
protested in New York. 1t is
understood on the streets that the
paper is lot of drafts amounting to
about 100000 on New York parties by
President Voolfolk, of the Alabama
Terminal and Improvement company,
of this place. The bank has been hand
ling these drafts for some time, and
they were always honored before. The
bank deposits are about $4,000. The
president of another bank is quoted as
saying that none of the Farley banks
paper is held here by other banks, and
that the suspension will not affect
them. 1t is thought that the suspen-
sion is temporary and that matters will
be soon arranged, no one suffering a
money loss
