The letter futtered into the sanctum
yesterday. 1t was from a man to q wom-
an, and he was trying to give her, in his
enthusiastic masculine way, his idea of
the girls of N~arragansett Pier and the
costumes they o. Here is what he
says. Comment Is unnecessary;
81 want to tell you that the women
here are the most glorious creatures on
the face of the earth. They go swinging
about in the Independent, healthy man
ner you neve see except at the seashore
or among the mountains. Say, why are
they always sick in town and ready for
twenty mile tramps when they get out
here?
"Of course you want to know what
they're wearing. They all have dresses
made of flannel or something, with white
shoes, white caps, lots Of ribbons and
furbelows flying, and white parasols
with loads of white lace punched all oveI
the tops, The skirts are cut bias Gs that
right?, and there's something round the
bottom that l think you women call {
panel-or perhaps it's a fiounce. Why
can't women dress like that all the time
Why don't you speak to 'em about it,

Six Years in = Cellar.

A horrible affair has Just been discov-
cred at Itegehem, in Belgium A fam
lily named Vanden Eynde, consisting of
two brothers and a sister, live there on
their own estate. Six years ago there
wa another brother, called Louis, who
went away from the village to serve his
time in the army, but although he was
very soon discharged as unfit for mill
tary service, the family always replied
to questions about him, saying that he
was still a soldier.
Lately, however, mysterious reporst
were spread, and recently the family
were surprised by the appearance of the
burgomsster, accompanied by several
other officials and a doctor. In spite of
protests, they searched the premises,
and when they opened one Of the cellars
a horrible sight met their eyes. Cover
ing in a corner, on a filthy heap of straw,
was the lost brother, who looked more
like a wild animal than a man.
A continual idiotic laugh was the only
sign of life he gave, for he was not caps-
BILE of making any movement Of his OWL
accord. Even his head staid in what.
ever position it was turned by the doc
tor who examined him. His unnatural
family confessed hat when he returned
from his regiment he was slightly mad
and to save the expense Of putting hin
into a lunatic asylum they had tied hin
up in the cellar, where he had remained
for six years. The brothers and sistel
were arrested, and the imbecile was re
moved to an asylum. Me-

Fortunate Escapes.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 1.-The fast west.
bound express on the Central Pacific was
wrecked this morning between England
Mills and Colfax. The place where the
wreck occurred was on the curve at the
top of high mountain. The engineer
did not detect anything wrong until the
first two cars were derailed. The baggage
car and two day coaches remained on the
track but four Pullmans left 1t. The
Pullman sleeper Santa Cruz turned on its
side and rolled down an ~embankment. but
the ten passengers, while being con-
siderably shaken up, miraculously escaped
serious injury. The colored porter was
badly injured. An Investigation showed
that the spikes had been drawn from
seven of the outside rails and the angle
plates, used to strap the rails together.
had been pried off and iammed under the
rail.
1t was the evident intention of the
wreckers that the employees on the engine
baggage and mail cars should be killed
and the cars looted of their valuable
plumber. The passengers on one coacl
caught a glimpse of the wrecker as h
hastily departed from the scene. Tb'

have had a hand in it. The railway com
pany offers a reward of IS, 900 for the

Delight Followed by Torment.

What man or woman will deny that a
good dinner is a present delight. Equally
u~ndeniable is it that when a well cooked
meal is succeeded by a fit of indigestion,
rapture is converted into torture Don't
charge your dyspepsia TO your dinner.
No. my dear sir, POUR gastric department
was out of order to begin with. Had
you regulated it with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the cargo that you took on board
would have been comfortably slowed
way without the slightest Inconvenience,
This incompatible stomachic entirely re
forms faulty digestion and regulates be
sides. the liver and the bowels, which
must act harmoniouslY with the digestive
organ or all three falls out OF gear. Take
the bitters for kidney and rheumatic com.
plaints and in all cases of malaria. As
tonic, appetizer and promoter of conval
escence it has no peer.

IMPRISONED FOR FIVE DAYS.
A Teamster Caught Under His Wagon
and Held as IN "A Vice.


Sixteen years ago Mr.. Henry Beckuan
returning from Ferris mountains with q
load of meat, upset the wagon, being
caught under it in such a manuer that
escape was impossible. He lay tor five
DAYS and nights thus imprisoned, the edge
of the wagon body lying across his back.
Johnny Baxter, CHANGING BY, brought the
news to town in the greatest haste, sup
posing what he saw was another Indian
massacre. Joe Adams at once started
with others for the scene. Beckman was
unconscious, his right shoulder dislocated,
his back a squirming mass of raw flesh
and maggots.
DR.. Patyki of Fort Steele attended him
and he made a fair recovery. The shoulder
was stiff and subsequently broken over
and reset by DR.. Stevens. Ten years ago
the same arm was broken between the
elbow and shoulder, and was readiusted
by DR.. Maghee. A year subsequently
the arm was out ofjoint at the shoulder,
and DR.. Maghee reduced the dislocation
as he has done on two occasions since.
Night before last Beckman was thrown
from u load Of potatoes; the wagon passed
over him, breaking the arm at the same
point that the fracture of ten years ago
occurred. and otherwise injuring him.
The surgeon who attended to his former
injuries was called, adjusted the fracture

A CALL TO THE FRAY
Parnell's Adherents Promptly
in the Breach.
No Compromise with English
Liberal Leaders.
Parnell's Grave Visited by
Thousands of People.
ParpeIIItes, Manifesto.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Mr. Parnell's par
lismentary colleagues have issued the fol-
lowing manifesto:
Ireland has lost her leader, but her
cause remains a duty to the living and the
dead-to maintain, erect and unsullied,
the flag of national independence. You.
people of Ireland. CAV into the hands Of
Parnell and his colleagues the charge Of
your political interests and the honor and
safety OF the national cause. You asked
us BY constitutional means to restore pros
perity, peace. and freedom to our country.
and. animated by his spirit, guided by his
clear intelligence and firmness of soul, we
carried the cause to a point at which the
tower of victory could be seen by all men.
But in an unfortun nate hour the majority
OF the Irish representatives, at the bid
ding OF an English statesman, broke our
ranks, abandoned the flag OF independ-
ence. and ranged themselves as followers
and satellites of the British statesman.
We refused to become parties to the
treason. relying upon the national con-
~victiou. and maintained intact our allegi-
snce to the independent national party
in the conviction that people would Justify
duu output ub. Ink klEht lCeuCI II nChut
but the cause lives on. Relying on your
devotion to Irish nationality we propose
to carry on the struggle until the princi-
pies for which he lived and died triumph,
and national unity is restored. The par
liamentarv party is pledged to work for
Ireland under the flag OF independence,
absolutely free from the control OF any
foreign power or party. This is our reso.
luton. Its realization depends upon you.
1t involves sacrifices and struggles and we
call upon you to make them.
True to the principle that we are the
instruments of the people. VIC have re
solved to call a convention of represents
tive Irishmen to discuss in the name of
the nation the means whereby to carry
out the policy and programme he be-
queathed in dying. To the ranks We well
come all honest men who believe the
political affairs of ireland should be con.
trolled and directed BY representatives of
the Irish people alone. But with the
men who are Immediately responsible for
the disruption of the national party. who
in obedience to foreign dictation bounded
can have no fellowship.
In their guidance there can be no
safety. Between them and the men who
stood true to the cause of national indie
p~endence, Ireland must choose. On the
threshold of the tomb, the leader we
mourn defined our duty in these i'm
p~erishable words: III an dead and
gone tomorrow the men fighting against
Eoglish influence in Irish public life, must
fight on still. Fellow countrynen, let ii
be the glory of our race at home and
abroad to act up to the spirit of this
message. God save Ireland"

Flowed Up Seventeen Thousand Dollar.

Flowed Up Seventeen Thousand Dollars
A few days ago a young farmer named
Edwards, while blowing near Souther'
land Springs, struck an iron pot whose
top projected a half inch above the sur
face. 1t was apparently filled with earth,
but its great weight led to an investigs-
ton. Under an inch of dirt were many
doubloons of gold. The leather in which
they were wrapped was rotten, but save
for a greenish mold the coins were unin-
jured. They were all doubloons. Ed
wards loaded his treasure in a wagon,
drove to San Antonio and deposited it in
bank, saying nothing Of the find until
his return. The amount is $17 ,000.
There has long been a tradition in
Switzerland Springs neighborhood that
Santa AIMS buried treasure there on his
retreat after his defeat at the battle Of
San Jacinto in the war of independence,
and various searchers have hunted for
it. The pot was originally sunk deep,
but the rains of more than half a century
had denuded it of its covering.-Cor.

lClay, Robinson & Co.'s Circular, Oct. 81
The receipts for the month were 81 500
head, against $1,000 head for the CORE
spending time last year. For the expired
portion of the year 167, 800 head have ar
rived, against 10000 head in 1890. 1t
isn't necessary for us at this time to say
anything regarding the market for the
past month, as the numerous changes
that took place in values are still fresh in
the minds of every ranchman who had
cattle here. The receipts for the week
will be about 1900 head, against l9, 900
head last week and $4,000 head for the
corresponding time last year. Supplies
were much the same as anticipated; the
market has ruled strong and values tor
the best grades have advanced ten to fit
teen cents per 100 pounds, while the me-
dunn and poorer qualities are q shade
lower. The quality OF the cattle was
hardly so good and this taken into consid-
Grafton would leave values for everything
below choice grades much the same as
last week. Some choice beeves arrived
and sold at "a. 40, "a. so, 81. rs and "a. IS
per 100 pounds, the last named price
being obtained tor 100 OF the Western
Ranches steers averaging 1.377 pounds;
200 head of the same company 8 steers
sold on Oct 5. 1890, at $4.15 per 100
pounds and weighed 1885 pounds aver
age. 1t was also the highest price of the
week. But few feeders have arrived.
The market for this class has ruled firm at
unchanged prices.
At South Omaha receipts were about
1900 head lighter than last week; the
market has ruled firm; good beet steers
and COWS are ten to fifteen cents per 100
pounds higher, with feeders in good de-
mand at a shade stronger price.
