Notes.
SANTA ANA, Dec. 2S.-Cash Harvey oi
this city received a letter today from E.
B. Clifford, the San Diego horeeman, say.
ing that that gentleman will bring Otto
Rex, the great trotter, and a string OF
eight horses to this city, which he will
keep here during the season, to train for
the meetings next fall. Mr.. Clifford is
an enthusiast on the superiority of the
Santa Ana track, and hence wants to
drive his horses on it. In conversation
with several of the Fair association di-
rectors the HERALD representative was
informed that many improveme o ts
would be made in the track and the ac-
commodations at the fair grounds before
the next race meeting is held here. Our
fair directors have been convinced by
the success of last season that it pays to
hang up good purses, thereby securing
good horses as starters. Orange county
is rapidly forging to the front as one of
the leading producing counties in
the state, and already contains several
horses better than 2:25.
OUR MILITARY COMPANY.
Invitations are out for an entertain
ment to be given at Springer's hall, in
this city, on Monday evening next by
company F, Ninth regiment, N. G. G..
This entertainment is given on the third
anniversary of the company's organiza-
ton, and will no doubt be largely at
tended. A musical and literary pro-
gramme will be rendered, which will, in
all probability, be followed by social
dance. Company F is made up of Sc of
Santa Ana's most estimable young gen.
tiemen, and is one of the best and most
regularly attended military companies
in Southern California.

other factory will be built near Santa

ANAHEIM,

An Enthusiastic Beet Sugar Factory
Meeting.
ANAHEIM, Dec. 28.-A most enthusi-
astic meeting was held in the opera
house here today, to celebrate the suc-
cessful termination of the efforts to se-
cure cooperative beet sugar factory in
this city.
The meeting was called to order by
7. j. Jones, who in few we'll chosen
words stated it's object and introduced
Mr.. Captain, who has been one of the
prime movers in the big enterprise.
The gentleman said that from the first
the people OF this city and the surround
ing country had taken deep interest
in the project, and now that it had been
carried through to successful termi-
nation he believed they had every reason
to rejoice. He believed that the estab.
lishment of the beet factory in this Sec
tion would do more to develop the re
sources and draw the attention of the
public to the Santa Ana valley than any
other enterprise ever inaugurated here.
Mr.. CAPTAIN said there were at present
but six beet sugar factories in the
United States, and all were paying hand
some dividends. The cooperative plan
would divide the profits among the
farmers, who are the owners, and would
thereby cause prosperity to pre-
vail. He said that a factory such
az is to be established two
miles from this city, to be known as the
Anaheim Cooperative Beet Sugar fac
tory, at a cost of $40O, 900, would clear
annually $4,000, 80 that in four years
it would have paid for itself, including
interest on the debt.
Three thousand shares are now taken,
which was to have been the extent. az

A Noteworthy statue out of Plumb.

An artist of large experience in
Europe and in America, who has
resided in Richmond only a few
years, recently met the State re-
porter at the corner of Tenth and
Broad, and called his attention to
what he called "the falling monu-
ment. /" Pointing to the famous
Washington monument in Capitol
square, he said: s'Does not the
bronze equestrian figure seem to be
topping over toward Ninth street, ~
He then walked with the reporter
over TO the square and pointed out
the slanting position of the horse
and rider. He said he believed that
on account of the chemical action on
the metal the hoof on the right hind
leg had given away small fraction
of an inch, probably an eighth of an
inch.
Or it may have been that the
granite foundation had settled lit
tie more on that side than the other.
An eighth of an inch at the bottom
would make considerable leaning
at the top. If the horse rested on
four feet of course it would hot be
apt to topple. But being prancing
horse the tendency is to sag.
The Washington monument was
unveiled in 1858. 1t is by Craw-
ford, and is one of the most notable
in the United tes.-Richmond
State.

Unsuccessful Attempt to Rob Four Men
Near Las yacas Mines.
EAGLE PASS, March 11.-Word
has just reached Eagle Pass of an
attempted robbery and the killing of
one Of the would-be robbers, near
Durango. G. M. Britain,
of the Las Vacas Mines,
left Durango city on the night of
February 20 for the mines, some
seventy miles off. He had with him
$40, 900 worth of Mexican silver in
a safe in a wagon. This fact became
known to six desperate
characters and they proceeded few
miles out on the road to Las Vacas
before daylight and lay in ambush
for Mr.. Britain. The Britain party
consisted of four persons heavily
armed, and when the ambushed band
saw the teams they at on, 20 charged
upon them, using pistols
and Winchesters freely. The
others, however, made Wig
orous resistance while hurrying
into Constantia. Antonio Cassiana
was killed. Others with the treasure
made safe entry into Constantia.
The robbers, finding pursuit useless,
turned toward Durango and have
not been caught.

BLOODY DUEL.
A Woman Causes Duel Near Whitesburg,
Kentucky.
FORTY SHOTS EXCHANGED
Before One of the DueIists was Killed
Great Excitement in the
Vicinity.

BRISTOL, Tenn, March 12.-The
startling news has reached here from
Whitesburg, KY, a small mountain
town, twenty or thirty miles north
of this city, that duel, pitched bat
tie or some other kind Of a bloody
fight, had taken place. 1t seems that
four persons were engaged in some
manner in the fight. On the forenoon
of yesterday, J. l.. Asher, well
known man of that section, and Mr..
Polly had dispute, which resulted
in fight. Neither was seriously
injured. Mr.. Polly's wife has been
for some time quite friendly with
Asher. Threats have been made
and trouble has been anticipated
recently. The forenoon skirmish
did not quiet the matter, but tended
to add fuel to the fire. Asher called
to his aid one Mr.. Combs and Polly
called on Dick Williams, his
brother-in law. Each received
word from the other that
matters must be settled.
Armed with trusty Win
chesters, the four started from their
homes toward the same spot. When
200 yards apart halt was made,
but soon they closed up the space.
The signal was made and the firing
began. Forty shots we're exchanged.
A ball from the gun of Williams
finally went home. l. struck Asher
on the left breast an inch above his
nipple, and penetrated his body.
He died instantly. Combs, his
partner, was captured. Much
excitement prevails in that section.
That portion of Kentucky is wild,
and is inhabited by such men as
Talton Hall, the Trenches and Ev-
ersons, who have been at war so
long the Howards and other noted
characters. Whitesburg, KY, is
the county seat of Lecher county,
of which so much is known. A
murder or shooting affray is almost
weekly occurrence, but fight like
this is something new.

SARAH ALTHEA TERRY
Placed in an Insane Asylum Mt stockton,
Cal.


STOCKTON, March 12.-Sarah
Althea Terry arrived at the insane
asylum last night, accompanied by a
deputy sheriff and the matron of the
sheriff's office. The trip was une-
ventful. Mrs. Terry was intensely
spiteful towards the matron, kicking
her and sticking pins in her.
Mrs. Terry did not recognize
Lathrop, where her husband was
shot, the station having been burned
short time ago. She thought
Stockton was Lathrop, and refused
to leave the train. Officers forced
her into a carriage, and she was
driven to the asylum. She resisted
being taken in, and, when finally
thrust through the door
way she said to the officers.
81 suppose you are satisfied, now
that you have got me in the
asylum"
The insane woman objected to be.
ing taken into the receiving ward
aud was removed by force. There
she gave no trouble and was given
bath and put to bed. The matron
of the asylum said she did not ex-
pect much trouble from Mrs. Terry.

THE CHICAGO TRAGEDY.
DIR. II. NJ. Seudder, the Windy City Ply,
clan Who Is Accused of Murder.

DIR. II. NJ. Scudder, the Windy City Physi-
clan Who is Accused of Murder.
DIR. HI. M. Scudder, in his cell in
the Detention hospital, emphatically
denied to-day that be murdered his
mother-in-l Flaw, Mrs. F. HI. Dunton,
and earnestly asserted that his ar
rest was the result of diabolical
plot concocted by his wife's rel
atives.
DR.. Scudder, when questioned
about the case, denies any knowl-
edge of it, and when the matter was
brought up before Judge Brown, at
the insanity court, it was continued.
Opinion is divided at the hospital
on the insanity question, the doc
tors attendant pronouncing it a
clever sham.
f. III. Dunton, husband of the
deceased, is administrator of will,
from which DR.. Scudder's wife is
excluded, and another will, in which
she is mentioned, is declared by
Dunton to be forgery.
DIR. Henry M. Scudder was
graduated in Brooklyn nearly twenty
years ago. His father, the Rev. H.
M. Scudder, was one of the most
famous preachers in Brooklyn, and
had charge at one time Of the Central
Congregational Church. He was
finally called to the pastorate of
Plymouth Church, where he re-
manned for several years, and then
went to Japan to join his son, the
Rev. Doremus Scudder, and daugh-
ter Kate, who were doing mission
airy work there. The daughter died,
and DIR. Scudder, Sr., his wife, and
the Rev. Doremus Scudder returned
to this country. They have since
lived in Chicago. The Rev. John
l.. Scudder, pastor of the Jersey
City Tabernacle, is another son.
He married sister of Surrogate

ALL DEAD.
The Fire in the Mine at Brussels Grows
Fiercer.
THIRTY-THREE RECOVERED.
All Hopes of Rescuing Other Bodies From
the Flames Have Been Aban-
doned.

BRUSSELS, March 12.-But thirty
three bodies have thus far been re-
covered from the Anderlien mine,
which was destroyed yesterday by
an explosion.
Il has been definitely ascertained
that 270 miners were at work at the
time the explosion took place.
The fire in the mine has grown
fercer and 6ercer, and since 2
o'clock this morning the heat has
been so intense that it has been
impossible for rescuing par
ties to remain in the pit.
They have been compelled
for the present to abandon all their
efforts to reach the galleries.
After it was found that the FIRE
was gaining in strength consulta-
ton was held between the mine
owners and engineers. 1t was de-
cided that as there was
not the slightest doubt of
everybody in the mine being
dead, the only course left open for
them to follow. ifthey hoped to re-
cover the bodies, was to food the
mine. Preparations are being made
to carry out this plan, but before
any water could be pumped in cries
of "Fire" were heard on all sides,
aud at 3 o'clock the flames ascended
to the pits mouth and sparks were
scattered in every direction. A
few minutes later an immense col
umn shot through the ven
tilating shaft, piercing thick
clouds of smoke that were ovsr-
hanging the shaft. The sight was
grandly magnificent as the mass
of fire shot upward, but
it meant certain death to
every person in the mine.
This fact was fully realized by the
on-lookers, and the wailing and the
shrieks of those near the pits mouth
were increased in violence as the
flames tore the last faint of
hope from them. For great dis
tance around the country was illu-
mined almost as bright as day by
the vast column of fire pouring out
of the mine.

NAPIER AND THE SwORDSMAN.

After Napier's battles with the
Hindoos opposed to the English, a
famous iuggler visited the camp,
and performed his feats before the
general, his family and staff.
Among other performances this
man cut in two, with
a stroke of his sword, lime or lemon
placed in the hand Of his assailant.
Napier thought there was some col
lusion between the juggler and his
retainer. To divide by sweep of
the sword so small an object on a
mans hand without touching the
flesh, he believed to be impossible,
though similar incident is related
by Scott ia his romance of the
"Talisman. ]" To determine the
point the general offered his own
hand for the experiment, and he
stretched out his right hand. The
iuggler looked very attentively at
the hand, and said he would not
make the experiment. II thought
! would find you out!" exclaimed
Napier. ''But STOP added the
other; "let me see your left hand. F"
The left was submitted, and the man
then said, firmly: "If you will
hold your arm steady, | will perform
the feat" "But why the left hand
and not the right9'' Because the
right hand is hollow in the center,
and there is risk of cutting off the
thumb; the left is high, and the
danger will be less" Napier was
startled. III got frightened" he
said. 81 saw it was an actual feat
of delicate workmanship, and if !
had not abused the man as | did
before my staff, and challenged him
to the trial, honestly acknowledge
| would have retired from the en-
counter. However, put the lime
OF my hand, and held out my arm
steadily. The jnggler balanced
himself, and with swift stroke cut
the lime in two pieces. felt the
edge of the sword on my hand as if
cold thread had been drawn across
it. And so much," he added, "for
the brave swordsmen of India,
whom our fine fellows defea ed at
Meanee." This anecdote is GER
tainly proof of the sincerity of an
honest mind. ready to acknowledge
error, and of bravery and calmness
in expiating that error.-New York
