utes A nolghbor called at the house dur
Ing her absence, and saw on the kitchen
floor demijohn Of whiskey, with the con-
tents partially spilled over the floor. Tho
boy and girl had boon filling up ON the
liquor, and tho lady hurried 10 notify the
mother. When she returned tho boy was
quite intoxicated and soon fell limp on the
floor. Tho little girl did not give signs Of
being so affected. The lad said he had
been drinking the whiskey, and had in
duced his sister to drink some, but Us con-
siderable was spilled on the floor 1t could
not be ascertained how much they took.
A physician was summoned without de
lay and reached there before i2 O'Clock.
The little girl was put TO bed aud was soon
sleeping profoundly, and all attention was
directed to the boy. Emetics were up
piled and he vomited freely, though his
breathing was hard, Tho physician ap-
piled restoratives 10 keep tho heart beat
ing, and after remaining four or i've hours
1t was ascertaincd that the girl had also
drunk considerable liquor. Tho doctor
then worked upon her. Ho finally with
drew as tho symptoms appeared favorable.
Later the boy breathed very hard and the
girl grow worse. She died about II 80
and the boy breathod his last an hour
later.

Status of H.If.ereed Indians.

Considerable comment has been
aroused by the decision OF the United
States Court At Pierre in regard 10 the
status OF children born OF Indian women
and white or negro husbands. The case
was that OF tho United States vs.. Ward,
charged with selling liquor TO half breeds.
The evidence was that the half breed in
question had negro father who was =
citizen, and an Indian mother. The de-
cision Of the court is that tho children
follow tho status Of their father, and
hence are citizeus of the United States
and alnenablc to its laws. II the decision
holds good 1t will affect the ownership Of
OF tho greater part Of the lands taken up

The Clock Gave Him Away.

About two weeks ago n passenger
train on the Erie road ran into q freight
near the Pennsylvania State line and
few passengers were hurt No one could
explain the accident. The conductor aud
engineer OF the freight asserted their In
noccncc, aud those Of the passenger tram
wort equally confident that no blame could
attach to them. The officers OF the road
worked for nearly fortnight trying to
unravol the mystery, but were unable to
do so. AT last tho facts were made known
In tho simplest way imaginable.
The division superintendent visited the
scene Of tho accident shortly after 1t oc
CURED and while lettering about the
tracks happened to look al the switch
tower This tower had received severe
shock when the two trains came together.
The division superintendent happened 10
took NJ the clock and found II stopped. lie
made inquired and learned that II had
stopped at the time OF tho collision. The
clock showed that tho passenger train had
passed there Just two minutes aud half
ahead Of timo. The conductor Of tho pas
sengur train had violated ono Of tho most
stringent rulcs-not 10 run shead OF
schedule timc-and 10 now out Of . job.

Riotous Horse Car Drivers.

Tho strike OF the horse car drivers
at Touion, France, Is assuming most
serious proportions, The strikers demol.
ishod the kiosks on the principal thorough
fares and tried TO destroy the tracks Of the
horse car roads. Later on the strikers
gathered largo quantities Of wrecksse
into heaps and set Gre TO them, making
huge bontres, aud shouted IN triumph.
Finally, the situation became so alarm
ing that tho municipal authorities called
upon the general IN command Of the mill
tary 10 send troops To their assistance
The general promptly replied by sending
. strong force OF dragons to tho scene 4
the disturbances. The dragons quickly
cleared the streets Of riotcrs and others,
and the cavalry occupy various point
along the boulevards, while Infantry and
police are guarding tho other main tho
oughiarcs and the public buildings.
During the charge made by tho cavalry

Crossing the Atlantic in Boat

Captain Andrews and his little boat
have been heard from. On July q the
Captain was alive aud sanguine that he
would yet reach England in safety, al.
though he had been out from Boston thirty
days and was still over 1000 miles from
his destination. Captain Thomas Morgan
OF the steamship Sobran on arrival re
ported on July II he sighted a small boat
ahead. Supposing 1t to be a boat crew
from shipwreck he bore down on 1t. To
his establishment thcrn was bat one man
In II.
The man said he was Captain Andrews,
that his boat was the Mermaid and that
he had started TO race across the ocean
from Boston TO Lands End, England
with boat the same size called the Sea
Serpent. He had been out thirty days.
As the Sobran was in latitude ~, longi.
tude ~ %, Captain Andrews was about
2,lO0 miles from his destination. By re
quest Captain Morgan received the log
book OF the lonely mariner up to the date
Of meeting and forwarded II to the Boston
Herald. Captain Morgan says the cour-
ageous mariner was well and In good
spirits. He was short of nothing but re
GREETED having been out so long. The log
book contained but little Of interest

The Eight-Hour Labor Day.

A dispatch from Omaha, Nebraska,
says railroad managers are actively en-.
gagged in an effort to defeat tho legislation
Of tho late Alliance Assembly making
eight hours n days work. All the COM
panies have prepared instructions 10 their
employees declaring that they will be en-
ployed and paid by tho hour after August
!. II is no secret that organized labor 10
opposed TO this scheme. as the eight hour
measure wns fostered by them ~ the
time Of Its consideration by the Alliance.
All the companies expect u rebellion whom
their men discover what is being done.
The new law provides penalties for a.
tempting TO cvade 1t, and 1t was only after
consideration and legal advice that the
railroad companies concluded to fight the
law. As crops arc now being handled, .
strike would forco the roads 10 terms OF
result In great damage The railroad sm-
ployes understand the situation.

Farmers Holding their Wheat.

A special dispatch from Topeka.
Kansas, says; Although cars have been
generally distributed by tho railroads hut
very little wheat is flowing eastward
from this state. Alliance leaders attribute
this to the circular sent out from Wash
ingion advising farmers to hold their
grain. Grain dealers declare this is not
so, but insist that the reason is that the
wheat is yet in the shock drying, and that
the little that has come In is damp and
musty and unfit for -four. In the southern
part OF tho state where tho yield was tho
greatest wheat has been threshcd, and
Just enough has been sold to pay pressing
debts, while the bulk OF 1t has been put In
store houses to await higher prices. IL
appears probable that tho Washington
letter has had Its effect and farmers arc
holding back their crops.

A Bad Lot.

United States Marshal Rankin has
reached Cheyenne from Buffalo and lodged
Jail James +. McDcrmot who Is
charged with robbing the United States
mail. McDermot was postmaster ut Bo-
nanka, In tho Big Horn basin. About a
year ago letter was sent from Billing.
Montana, To u man living In the ncighbor.
hood Of BONANZA. The letter contained
elOo and never reached its destination.
McDermots wife now charges him with
the abstraction OF the letter.
Antedatins this arrest is series of
crimes. McDsrmot and u man named
Madden were neighbors in the basin. The
latter, It Is said was too intimate with
McDcrmots wife. There was bad blood
between tho two families. One day, on
coming home, McDcrmot found his wife
missing. He took his little boy and went
over 70 Madden's to hnd her On the WAY
there he met Madden, who opened fro.
McDermot instinctivoly raised his little
boy Is shield. The boy was killed, and
tho same bullet injured MoDermot In the
temple. Madden was acquitted on the
ground Of self defense, his belief having
been that McDcrmot had gun. McDcr
mot then had Madden arrested for ociug
tho leader Of band of horse thieves, and
Mrs. Dermot had her husband arrested for
robbing the mail Neither OF the latter
eases have yet como To trial. but tho prc
vailing belief Is that neither OF tho NOR
concerned are better than they should be
and tho country would bc well rid Of both

An Innocent Man Executed.

A special from Beatrice, Nebraska.
saws; More than fifteen years ago Jack
Marion and John Cameron SGT out together
In wegon on trip and were last seen on
the Blue river, near here. A few days
later the supposed body OF Cameron was
found in the Blue river, and when II was
discovered that Marion had been seen
with Camoron's team and goods In his
possession he was suspected Of numbering
his companion. Ho was not npprchcnded
until ten years afterwards and was tried
several times and finally executed In
March. 1857.
William wymorc, AZ uncle Of Marion,
has always believed the latter Innocent,

and thence TO Alaska, after leaving Marion

Arm. Shipped to Chill.

A dispatch from San Francisco
says: Notwithstanding the fate Of the
officers Of the Robert and Minnie and the
great care exercised by the customs ON
cers,i has boon learned that large quanti-
ties Of arms and ammunition have been
shipped 10 the Chilisn insurgents, con-
cealed In bales Of hay. It has been dis
covered that three large truck fulls Of oar
tridges were packed At the repacking g.
tablishment Of L. T. Anthony and shipped
on tho Hounslow. which sailed July 3 for
Iquiaue. II Ia believed that much Of the
baled hay shipped on the Montssrrat
Remus Willamette aud West Indian also
concealed rifles and ammunition.
Tho leading dealers In firearms snd ann
munition say that tho sales in their line
have been large and numerous during the
last two months, but they sold for cash
and 1t was not their business 70 inquire -
to the uses to which the goods were TO be
put. The shippers have put their cargoes
on these hay vessels and claim that tia
hay was all purchased Of leading dsalsrs
who delivered 1t in cargo 70 them on
whsrves where the vessels were loading.
1t is estimated that At least 500 stands Of
arms and 5000, 900 rounds Of axed smmu-
milton have been shipped on tho several
vessels.

THE OHIO RAINMAkEa.
Melbourne Tells Something Of the
Methods He Uses.

A special from Canton, Ohio, states
that rain fell there Sunday, - Frank
Melbourne, the Australian rain king, IS
he is styled, inventor Of the rain machine,
stated some time ago that he would make
1t rain every Sunday until further notice.
This makes his eighth successful test
and considerable amounts are wagered on
these tests throughout Ohio and adjoining
states, and Melbourne has become quito n
celebrated character. Invitations TO 10 to
every portion of the West especially the
arid portions, are pouring In on him
Melbourne has at last given some Of his
secrets to tho press
In an Interview he saws that every test
OF his rain machine costs 800. The ma,
chine itself, with tho cost Of experiment
on 1t, etc, cost him about $4,000. He
says that its size Is not larger than small
stove, and that rain is produced by the
liberation of vast quantities Of gas gener
ated from powerful chemicals by the &C
tion OF peculiar process, In which heat
plays prominent part
The inventor says that he cannot give
the chemical formula to the press Just
yet because 1t would give the secret
away. His present hope is to sell the in
venton to the government. He demands
$1,000, 900 and says the discovery is cheap
at that price. He says II tho department
OF agriculture does not take hold of the
machine at once he is contemplating ac-
cepting proposition to so to Africa anlh
create n large inland lake in tho Desert D
Sahara.
Before going TO Africa, however, he
will probably go to California and create
lake in Death Valley, California, by
causing continued rains there. Mel
bourne smiles at the efforts OF the govern
mont to produce rain by exploding dyna
mite in balloons. He shows that this will
only work when there are clouds. His
machine causes clouds of watery vapor to
gather in clear sky, and ho can produce
rain in desert. He gives an intensely
interesting account OF how he broke long
drought at Queensland, Australia.
