When you and Mr.. Barden came here
last fall to sell me creamery told you
had been thinking for some time about
changing from the large pans to creamery
but had not seen that suited me. I then
looked the Barden and told you 1
thought it was just what / wanted, and
after over two months trial know it is. The
workm anship and action perfect and it
does its own skimming. There is lifting
of cans nor gearing to fuss with. I think the
difference in the quantity and quality of my
butter will more than pay for it this year to
say nothing about the saving of labor which
my wife begins to think is small item.

NEW YORK, August l0.-John Clay
ton, a cottager in Bay Head, N. j., was
taken Tuesday evening from the cot
tage Of his neighbor, Joseph Parker,
by a vigilance committee, and after a
rope was tied under his arm pits, he
was thrown into the river and given a
drenching. After the vigilantes had
drawn him out of the water and had
thrown him several more times, they
cut long rope into yard lengths and
logged the man until he dropped into a
dead faint. Then the committee left
him.
Clayton had been q resident of Bay
Head for some time. When he first
went there he made the acquaintance
OF Mrs. Parker. the wife of Joseph Par
ker, another resident of that fashiona-
BILE seaside resort. Clayton and Mrs.
Parker became very friendly. Friends
of Clayton asked him to cease his at
tentions to his neighbours wife. Clay
ton told his critics to mind their own
business. Sunday night there was a
secret meeting OF citizens and it was
decided to have a vigilance committee
visit the man.
After the committees visit Clayto
and Mrs. Parker left town, and their
present address is unknown. Mrs.
Clayton and Mr.. Parker, the injured
wife and husband respectively, could
not be found last evening.

Killed His Rrother-in.lau.

HUMEsToN, To-, August 1l.-There is
great excitement In this vicinity over
the killing Monday of Liberty Shocks
by his brother-in-law, Deak Gwinn, the
result of family trouble. Shocks lived
about four miles northwest of here, and
Gwinn near him. A little after noon
Monday Gwinn appeared in the road in
front of Shocks house, called him out
and told him he had come to kill him.
Mrs. Shocks didn't want her husband to
go out, but he didn't appear to be afraid
OF Gwinn, and went out to where his
horses were tied to the hind end of a
wagon. He told Gwinn to go away,
that he didn't have time to fool with
him, and began to unite one of the
horses. Gwinn then asked if
he had called his mother Mrs.
Gwinnl q liar, and Shocks
said he had, whereupon Gwinn leveled
his double-barreled shotgun on the
fence and told Shocks that he had him
now. Shocks told him that when he
got ready to shoot to fire away, or
words to that effect, and Gwinn pulled
the trigger. At the first shot shocks
was about twenty-three feet from
Gwinn. He put his hand up to his
side and turning to aboy, a nephew of
his. who was standing near, told him to
go for doctor. The shot had scared
the horse he had united, but he held
on to it, and when about forGy-five feet
away Gwinn shot the second time,
when Shocks fell dead. Gwinn then
shouldered his gun and went off down
the road toward his mothers home.
After the inquest Monday night, Gwinn
walked with neighbors to Corydon, sur
rendered to the sheriff, and was placed
in Jail. Shocks leaves wife and three
children.

ARunaHay Wedding.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 10.-Miss
Mollie James of England, was married
in Memphis to-day to Mr.. Charles
Villone of New York. She is a niece
of G. P. r. James, the author, and a
very beautiful woman of the fine Saxon
type. The groom is Spaniard, dark
and handsome. They met at the house
of the bride four years ago, when Miss
James was IL years old. 1t was case
of love at first sight. The parents Of
the young lady promptly forbade their
marriage, as Villone is a Catholic.
The young Spaniard let his girlish
love and came to America. He
established himself in business in
New York city, and has thrived. He
did not forget the British beauty,
and corresponded with her. Six
months ago Miss James agreed to seize
the first opportunity to slip away from
them and come to her lover in Amer
lea. Her parents OWNED her purpose
and kept close watch on her, but with
out avail. She eluded their vigilance
and bought q ticket to New York. She
was pursued and hid on board ship.
When she arrived in New York she
found that her fnancee was in the
south. His business associates gave
her his address and they made an ap-
pointment to meet In Memphis. Miss
James arrived this morning and was
made Miss Villone this afternoon. A
magistrate performed the ceremony, as
neither of the lovers would consent to
having that ONCE attended by a priest
of the others faith.

Shocked TO Death,

NEW YORK. August 11.-Henry Bar
tells, bartender in Theodore Field
STEMS saloon and restaurant at 626
Grand street, touched an electric
motor In the saloon last Friday and
fell over dead. As usual, the electric
light men say there was not enough
electricity on the premises to kill any
body, and they don't understand how
Bartles got the shock that killed him.
Bartles was "A years old, stood five feet
ten inches in his stockings, was broad
shouldereds and as strong as an OK. "A
year ago Mr.. Feldstein bought g. and
G. one horsepower electric motor, and
had 1t screwed down to the forward end
OF the bar, near the door. Tho
eleetrieity that ran il came from
brush circuit that never car
ried more than 500 volts" according TO
the Brush people. No one ever trusted
the motor, MIR. Feldstein says. When
ever any repairs were needed men from
the electric light company we're sent
for. The bartender on duty turned the
current on or of. 1t was Bartel's turn
on duty tonight, and it was about s
o'clock when he was killed. One OF the
party called for drink. Barteis was
then leaning over the motor. At the
instant the call was made for a drink
the man Strengthened up, reeled and
fell over on the floor. The three men
and Mrs. Feldstein ran to him. He bad
not uttered q sound. His eyes were
wide open and turned upward.
The linemen who had been notified
by the police came around and declared
it to be their opinion that Bartels had
not touched the motor at all. but that
he had died of heart disease. They
made a search OF the wire for breaks on
the ground, but found none. The Vt O.
tor was not running. The cut-out lev
err was turned as far to the left as il
would go.
There was no possibility, they said.
of a leak, and the motor could not
therefore, be charged with electricity.
They were careful not to touch it to find
out.
DIR. Richardson, who was hastily
summoned. said there was no doubt
whatever that Bartels was shocked to
death. There was an entire absence of
the signs that indicate death by heart
disease, he said. One of the walters
with whom the reporter talked said
he saw the whole thing. He
was standing watching Barteis. he
said. when the bartender walked
over to the motor, and leaning over it,
reached around behind with his left
hand for box Of cigars that had fallen
off pile. II was quite long reach,
and to steady himself Bartels put his
right hand on the brush of the motor,
| which is on the side next to the inside
OF the bar.
A moment afterward he turned half
around. and apparently tried to pull his
hand away. Then he Strengthened up
suddenly, and his eyes rolled upward
until only the white could be seen. AS
he Strengthened his hand dropped from
the motor. He swayed back and then
forward for moment and then fell
headlong on his side. ''He didn't
vince" said the waiter, 'when he put
his hand on the brush, but the in
slant his hand touched the wire he was
gone"

DUN'S REVIEW.
Business Sluggish and Prices Loser. But
the Heavy Crops Expected to Bring
In Flow of Money and Better
Times.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co 8. weekly report of trade says:
While business in many lines is dis
appointing, the feeling of confidence
distinctly increases. The belief in
ereases that the country will be able to
sell such vast quantities of grain abroad
and draw 80 heavily upon foreign sup
plies OF capital that all home industries
will be greatly stimulated. Though at
some northern points money markets
are tight, supplies at western centers
are adequate for legitimate business and
mere speculation gets less help than
usual. Depressions in some great in
dustrles continues and Is real, but may
be traced to causes obviously not per-
manent.
Chicago feels the effect of great crops
distinctly, wheat receipts being seven
fold last years, rye five fold, barley two
fold, wool nearly double, and In corn,
beef, hides and butter some increase is
had. Sales of clothing and shoes are
larger than ever before at this season,
and in all lines collections are satisfac-
tory. At other western points the crop
prospects are almost everywhere men
toned as unsurpassed. and at 81 Louis
the demand for money in the interior
grows more pressing, and commercial
borrowers are held more closely to their
needs. AT Minneapolis and st. Paul,
Omaha and Kansas City, trade is gen.
orally good; at Louisville and Nashville
improving. At Memphis and Savannah
reports Of the trade are less favorable,
and at Jacksonville business Is very
dull. Unfavorable weather has strength
ened cotton at New Orleans, and the de-
mand for sugar is good, with rice strong
and money in good demand, but with
supply ample for legitimate trade.
Prices for commodities are going
down and for the first time this year
the general level is lower than a year
ago, having declined one-half per cent
the past week. Wheat has fallen three
fourths OF a cent in spite of exports
greatly exceeding last years and the
enormous western receiDts make con-
stantly repeated assertions that the alli-
ance can hold back wheat appear ridic-
ulous. Western estimates not usually
extreme now allow from SIS, 600, 600
bushels upward for the crop, while even
more moderate eastern estimates make
200, 900, 900 bushels for exports. Corn
Is II cents lower, pork products a frac-
ton lower, coffee an eight lower.
Financial prospects have not changed,
and though money on call is cheap, COM
mercial loans are made with caution.
Large failures have occurred, but none
threatening financial disturbance. The
tone abroad is less strained and the
bank of France has gained gold largely.
but pressure in Europe must result il
needs for breadstuffs are as large as are
supposed. Foreign imports of merchan-
disc in New York in July fall 10 per
cent. below the year, while the exports
largely increase. The demand for
money to move crops begins to be felt
by many banks.

Minneapolis Flour Output.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, August H.
The Northwestern Miller says the out
put of -four last week was the largest o
any week since last November. Tn,
aggregate product was 174,4O0 barrels
averaging 20, 067 barrels daily-against
1885 barrels the week before, 156. Az
barrels for the corresponding time in
1890, and Isl $50 barrels In 1889. The
mills now have more or less orders &C
cumulated, and they are grinding as
strong as possible. Nearly al OF those
which ran regularly last week increas
ed their output as compared with the
week before. The water power shows
a tendency to get short; and not q very
long time will probably elapse before
the old trouble will enter into circula,
ton again There were seventeen
mills running Wednesday, and they
were grinding at the rate OF about &C..
600 barrels per twenty-four hours. The
flour market continues in an improved
condition, though since Friday there
has been considerably less doing than
during the preceding five days. For
the week ending with Saturday sales
were largely in excess of the production
for the same time. The export de-
mand for bakers were especially active,
and large lots were placed by some oil
the heavier firms. The call for low
grades was also good, ana more or less
patents were worked off here and there.
The exports and sales OF one large con-
Germ aggregated 200 cars for the week.
On Saturday ocean rates commenced
to advance and are now about IL cents
per bushel higher, so that this alone is
barrier to exporting, and since that
time much less has been done. How
ever, some pretty big lots OF low grades
have this week been sold for delivery
at Liverpool, three to four3 months in
the future, and likewise of patent.
But the uncertainty of freight rates
keeps some of the mills from selling
very freely for future de-
livery. There is q much better call for
flour from domeetic markets than O
short while back, and the millers feel
confident that they are on the eve Of a
prosperous year. They are still favor
ed with cheap freight rates to the sea-
board.
Taking effect tomorrow Thursday,
the 500 and Duluth lines will make
a rate on -four and millstuffs of 22i per
100 pounds to New York, though it is
not expected that this will last very
long. The EXPORT shipments OF last
week were $50, 020 barrels. London
quotations for 2S0 pounds C. i. f., are:
Patents, 3O(931s; bakers. 27(927s Cd;
low grades. 16(918s.

Bitten By q CentIpede.

SEDALIA, August ll.-About 8 o'clock
this morling while S. NJ Williams,
manager of the Union News company in
this city, was opening box of pears
which had just been received from
southern Texas, a centipede about four
inches long leaped from the box and
fastened its fangs in the end of the mid
die finger of his right hand. He
threw it from him and the reptile was
killed.
In half an hour from the time he was
bitten Williams began to get wild, and
his pain was so great that il took three
men to hold him.
The doctors are in attendance, but
very little hope is entertained of saving
the mans life.

The Body of Cody's Father.

LEAvENwoRTH, August ia cable
gram has been sent to Buffalo Bill at
Liverpool, telling him of the presump-
tive find of his fathers body, for which
a reward of $500 has been offered, in the
old deserted Mount Aurora burying
ground on Pilot Knob. west of this city.
Quarrymen have been at work in the
cemetery, and yesterday they dug up
an iron casket answering to the descrip-
ton of the one in which the father of
the famous Wild West Snowman was
buried There is a hole in one side of
the casket and the water has run in,
but the figure of tall man with boots
on, can be seen. There is little doubt
that it is William Cody, the father of
Buffalo Bill.
