Monday afternoon Rev. ID. l.. How
ellis, while on his way to town, met
with an accident that came near being
serious. When opposite Mr.. Stmn-
ahan's place one of the tugs became
uufastened and he got out to fix it. AS
he was getting i'll the buggy again the
horses started, knocking him down, the
buggy passing overs him. He was
dragged by the lines for a short dis
tauce, but finally let SO, and the horses
after runuinga short distance, ram into
an oak tree, breaking the buggy tongue.
Getting loose from this they put out
again, out were caught in front OF Mr.
Watson's place. Mr., Warren brought
Mr., Howells to town. He was think
ing some of his ribs were broken. An
examination showed that outside Of
some severe bruises no damage was
done.

Stray Notes.

According to Uncle Jerry Rlsk, Ore.
gon has 20, ,545 horses, valued at So
0U,l7l, or an average o. S+3.J each.
Mr., Hauley's horses were not in the
state at the time this estimate was
made, evidently.
The frost which many were looking
for after the rain has not yet made its
and the star-spangled
peach tree still waves over the land Of
the free and the home of the brave.
Oae prycoc1ous early gardener re-
ports sweet corn up, but he has an old
stove sitting near so that he can fire up
on short notice If necessary to protect

OF TIE millions who have drawn
and are now drawing pensions for al
legged services in the war between the
States, only one, so far as known, has
asked to haze his pension stopped on
the ground that he knew he was not
entitled to it, and that as conscientious
man he could not accept what he was
convinced he was not entitled to. The
man referred to is Levi Ashenfelter,
who lives in Cheyenne. His name
should roll in perpetual flow down the

WATSON ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Tom Watson went down to Augusta. Ga,
on the yesterday afternoon train to at
tend the Joint debate with Major Black.
There were several hundred democrats
on board wearing Black badges. Among
them was Mr.. Frank Jordan, of Han
cock county. Watson was sitting in q
car with many ladies. Jordan sumter
ed up the aisle of the car, and as he
passed Watson's scat said in q rather
loud tone:
"Watson is a traitor. Hewas elected
as democrat and sold out to the re-
publicans."
'eYou are ID liarm Kissed Wat.
son as he bounded from his seat and
landed several blows underJordan's ear.
Jordan quickly turned and started for
Watson. but the crowd intertered and
separated the two men before any dam
ace was done. Several men on the
train made motions to draw pistols and
knives, but desisted on account of the
presence of ladies. Jordan says he will
settle with Watson later, when there
will be no danger to observers.
The friends of both men are anxious
to prevent a personal encounter, but
Jordan and Watson will perhaps meet
later and settle it.

THE NEWS from Maine is shockingly
bad to Mr.. Harrison, and shows that
that State is by no means so hell-bent
on going for the republicans as it was
for the famous Governor Kent in the
earlier and better days of the republic.
Mr. Harrison's majority in 1888 was
% 1853. The republican majority there
Yesterday was hardly $1,000. Evident
ly all is not well with the republican
party. A few moro such victories as
those it has just achieved i'll Vermont

METAL BANK NOTES PROPOSED
Sir Henry Bessemer recommends the
issuance for monetary purposes Of what
may he called bank note made Of
metal. 1t would answer all required
purposes and would make forgery and
fraud next TO impossible. His PROPOSE
ton is TO take thin plate ofaluminum,
suitably stamped and engraved, about
the size Of the ilorin, this disk of the
strange new white metal to serve the
purpose which the & English bank
notes now fill; that is to say, it would
represent the value Of 81 and should be
made redeemable on presentation. Its
intrinsic value would be small, Of
course, but by means of newly in
vented process it could be made so it
would defy all the ingenuity of the
forger, which would really make it a
thing Of great value after all. The metal
is so light that the little aluminium
disk could never be mistaken for sill
yer coin; and it wonld surely be a much
pleas snter thing to handle than q
crumpled, dirty bank note, impreg-
mated, possibly, with the germs ofmany
