lie Was Drunk.

Last Friday night John Feekes, II
German who lives near Turner. came
very near meeting with an accidental
death. He had been to town in the
afternoon and in the evening started
home pretty well filled up with booze,
and when out by Jacob H0ellinger's
place drove into his wire fence, appar
emily straddling the wire for dis
lance of nearly sixty rods. His horses
were terribly cut up, and his buggy
box and wheels sawed nearly to
pieces. He evidently was either
thrown into the wire or got out and
became tangled with it, as he received
two long deep cuts on the left leg.
the lower one, on the ankle, LAYING
the bone bare and sevcring the ar
terry. He evidently was so full he did
not know what to do with himself. as
he went to haystack near by and
cra"lcd into itand stayed until found
next morning by Section Foreman
Riley, who saw his team and went to,
see what the trouble was. The hay
and cold had clothed the blood flowing
from the artery, SO that it prevented
his bleeding to death, though his es-
cape from such a fate is considered
miraculous. He was brought to Cen
teryille Saturday and his injuries
dressed, and then he was taken home.

GROWING LESS EVERY DAY.
The beautiful and Festive Bronclio l. Fas,
disappearing.


AS the cattle ranges of the west
become beautifully fewer and the
barbcd wire fence divides into farms
and fields the once unmarked prairie.
and as the cowboy rctircs from the
ring where he has performed so long.
the usefulness of the great American
brorcho is curtailcd. and the brave
and hardy little animal is rapidly lis
appearing from the face Of this ter
restrial ball, the cultivation of land
and the handling of heavy burdens
require large horses with bones like
those Of hired man. and as the cat
tie are no longer hcrdcd, but confined
in fenced fields, ii is not profitable to
keep ponies and so they are not kept.
The brOncho is Il distinctirely
American animal: no other country
can produce horse that closely re-
scmbles him: he combines in him
self the essential elements Of il demo-
cratic ratification: a funnel shaped
cloud and a railroad wreck by noon
light: no other beast that trotS or
lopes on lcgsis so original, so pictur
csque, SO appalling. He is as indie
pendent as Il sitting hen: as reckless
as an Ajax: as tough as chop hous,
steak. He goes to extremes in color
as well as in habits: lie can live on
scrap iron, and he can gallop 10 the
of l,n -
sigh or sweating a hair.
Speaking of his originality, that
charming characteristic of the bron-
clio is best eXcmpliticd by his style of
producing an artificial earthquake.
vulgarly termed "bucking.' Gentle
reader did you ever seat yourself upon
Il live broncho when the sign wasn't
right, when there was low barom-
ctcr and a threatening cloud in the
southeast: If so. lie probably rocked
you TO sleep: and YOU must have
noticed while the festivities were in
| progress that the brOncho was always
going up while you were going down,
and that meeting Jared you great
| deal more than it did the beast:
Many Il man has been made hypo-
condriac for life by a five minutes
interview with this energetic animal.
| This poor little broncho has recoiv-
ed more kicks than carcsses since lie
formed the acquaintance of man; he
has carried heavy burdens, and has
been starvcd,and spurred, and thrown
with ropes, and branded with red hot
irons as though he was a very pariah
among horses: he is sensible to and
grateful for kindness: but lie has
very seldom received it. He is the
most loyal. brave and patient fellow
that ever wore Il coat Of hair, and
those who appreciate his many Writ
ues are sorry that his picture is being
turned toward the wall.

Rats and Ferrcts,

Everybody knows that a ferret will
drive away rats, but everybody does
not know how to manage Il ferret,
which must be done carefully, fol
should the ferret get away he will be
more destructive than Il hundred rats.
But it is an easy matter to keep a
ferret in a cage. and as the animal
gives Off strong odor his presence is
quickly noticeable to the rats. If
they find out that there is Il ferret on
the premises they will leave as fast
as their legs will carry them, as they
well know that ferret can pursue
them into their holes. A prominent
poultryman who had over hundred
chickens killed by rats in one night
could do nothing for relief until he
purchased ferret, which is kept in
a cage in the brooder house. Since
the cage with the ferret has been
placed in the house there have been

ANXIOUS FOR A UNION.

Grand Conference of A. NJ. E. Zion Church
Offers to Unite With the A. NJ. f. General
Body-only Two New Bishops Wanted
Bishop Harris Report.
The grand conference of the A. M. E.
Zion Church in session here favors union
with the A. M. E. Church of America. If the
union is formed the new Church will have
membership of 900, 900 colored people. All
Yesterdays morning session was taken up
in the discussion of the question. There
were several fights, but it passed by vote
of two to one.
The resolution on union calls for the ap-
pointment of 4 commission from this con-
ference to meet a similar commission from
the African Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence now in session in Philadelphia The
conference is to be held at Harrisburg on
whatever place the committee may decide
on. They are to meet and decide on basis
before the two great conferences adjourn
In case an agreement is reached the plan
will be submitted to all the annual and
quarterly conferences of the two churches
and then Joint session of the Boards of
Bishops will call joint grand conference
to perform the wedding ceremony.
In the afternoon Bishop Harris. of Sails
bury, N. c., read the quadrennial address
In it he went into detail and said all the
departments were in good order. He recon-
mended number of changes in the present
code. He strongly opposed the election Of
three new bishops and said two more would
be enough to relieve those who now have
districts so large they cannot cover them.
He also advised the establishment of four
additional theological departments in the
college at Salisbury. He said this institu-
tion was continually crowded.
The membership of the church was re-
ported to be 100000. The number of edi-
fees erected during the last four years was
nearly 500 and the interest in the whole
work of the denomination was shown to be
constantly increasing.
On Monday morning Rev. J. E. Wilson,
D. D., the fraternal delegate from the M.
E. conference at Omaha, Neb., will deliver
an address.

MAGISTRATES MUST GIVE UP.
Gourley Holds Them Up for Costs in the
Health Bureau Cases.

GOurley HOLDS Inem Up Tor COSTS In the
Health Bureau Cases.
The police magistrates of the city each re-
ceived from the Mayor yesterday note call
ing attention to the act of 1891, designating
their powers and duties, with special refer
ence to the imposition of fines and the dis
position of costs in cases of violation of the
laws and ordinances relating to the city. 1t
has been a custom with the magistrates to
sit in judgment in a certain class of viola
tions, notably suits entered by the Bureau
of Health, as aldermen, thereby securing to
themselves and their constables the costs in
such cases. Under the act of 1891 the mag
istrates have supervision over any viola
tion of city laws and ordinances in their ca
pacity as magistrates, and any costs imposed
by them must be paid to the city treasury
There have been a number of prosecutions
bv the Milk Inspector of the Bureau of
Health, but the magistrates treated them
as alderman cases.
The Health officials doubted their right
to do this and raised the question BY re-
ferring to the Mayor who promptly decided
in their favor. His note yesterday informed
the magistrates that hereafter in any case
covered by the act of 1891 they must return
all costs to the city.

AFTER SUNDAY BOATS.
Agent Mcclure Takes a Hand in
Excursions Down the River.
HE ARRESTS ALL THE PRINCIPALS
In the First Voyage Of the City Of Pitts
burg Week Ago.
HOW THEY TRIED TO SETTLE TIE CASES

Law and Order has taken a hand in the
running of Sunday excursions down the
river, and Just now the proprietors and at
taches of the City of Pittsburg are trying to
settle with the society for last Sunday s
work.
All week Mcclure gave out that he was
not after Messrs Clark and Klein and their
men. This did not turn out to be the case,
however. Tuesday morning the proprie-
tors were informed that informations had
been made before Alderman Robe against
them, the Grand Army Band, the persons
who ran the lunch counter, the owners of
the tugboat Delta and all the other en-
ployes of the two boats.
Visit to Agent Mcclure.
Messrs Clark and Klein went to see Nc
Clure. He informed them that they would
have to quit running on Sunday. They
tried to bring about settlement with him.
They offered to pay into the treasury of the
society $50 each Sunday they took their boat
out Mcclure refused the offer. They then
raised it S25. He then said he would lay
the matter before the Executive Cammittee.
Friday night the committee met, but refused
the two gentlemen had another meeting,
but failed to settle. The cases will be
finally disposed of this week.
The City of Pittsburg will not 60 out to-
day. All the arrangements had been made
for a trip, even to the ordering of their re-
freshments. They will lose considerable
money, but think it cheaper to wait until
the cases are disposed Of They feel sure
they will have to pay their fines. In this
case it is likely that last Sundays trip was
the last one the City of Pittsburg will make
on that day for the rest of the summer.
An Excursion VIII Go Out To-Day.
Since these arrests have been made, the
owners of tugs are very guarded. 1t is now
impossible to get tug to take an excursion
party out. They are all afraid they will be
fined and possibly imprisoned. The City OF
Pittsburg owns its own tug, and
is not put out on that score.
The j. M. Gusky will take party of ex-
cursionists to Rochester to-day. The pro-
prietor of this boat own tug. The owners
said Yesterday they were willing to run the
risk of being fined. Agent Mcclure says
they will be fined if the boat goes out. The
case will probably be tested In the courts.
The people along the wharf are pretty
generally in sympathy with the Sunday
boat owners. Yesterday it was given out
that there would be trouble if Law and
Order man tried to make the trip on the
Gusky. As soon as he is discovered on
board he will be given a dip in the waters
of the Ohio.

MAKING POLITICAL AFF1DAv1Ts
Charges That Pressure Is Being Brought

Charges That Pressure Is Being brought
to Bear Upon Allegheny Employees.
The legislative fight in Allegheny is just
now demanding the attention of the North
side politicians, and while the primary con-
tests are vet two weeks off the fight over
there is hotter than it usually is in Presi
dental contest. The fight in the First district
is especially bitter, and it is charged that
the element opposed to the reformers over
there have been making extraordinary
efforts to prevent the election Of Dalzell
members of the Legislature.
Yesterday James Mcfarland, who has
been in the employ of Allegheny CITY as
laborer for nine years, went before Alder
man Braun and made an affidavit that he
had been notified by Road Commissioner
Snaman that unless he withdrew his support
from the HARRISON Robson Legislative
delegate in his district he would be dis
charged from the city's employ. The son of
an Allegheny fireman has been running as a
Harbison-R Robson delegate, but on Friday
the firemen made affidavit that he was noti-
fed that unless his son withdrew from the
contest the father would be removed from
the fire department. The notice, the fire.
men alleged yesterday, was not served upon
him by Chief Jones, but by another ALLIE
gheny City authority.

THE WINDOW GLASS WORKERS
Favor tho Closing Of tho Worlds Fair on
SUNDAY.

The National Window Glass Workers
Council yesterday took the initiative step
of the labor organizations in asking for the
closing of the Worlds Fair on Sunday. 1t
also favors the prohibiting of the sale OF
liquor on the grounds.
The Liberty League has always advanced
the argument that if the Fair was closed on
Sunday the workingmen would not have a
chance to see it. The Window Glass Work
ers' Association thinks different. The COM
mittee can see no reason why the workmen
of Chicago cannot have time enough to visit
the Exposition during the week. As for
those outside of Chicago, it is held they can
well arrange to go during the six days.
This sentiment is indorsed by the 5000
glass workers Of the vicinity.
