A JEALOUS COW.

She Cores Her Master Because He Nursed
a Pup.
A few years ago, says a writer in the
London Spectator, l had quiet mich
COW, Rose, which was fond of Thomas,
the stableman, and also showed an aver

begun to dress when heard my puppy

fear and anguish-a human roar.
dashed downstairs, and at the same
moment arrived my son pitchfork in
hand.
There lay Thomas on his face in a dry
gutter by the side of the road to the
cow-hcuse and the COW butting angrily
at him. We drove off the COW and poor
Thomas scuf1ed across the road, slipped
through wire fence, stood up and drew
breath.
''Well, Thomas" said I, whats the
matter with Rose?'
''Well, sir,' said Thomas, 81 heard
the pup bark and united him, and | was
just coming out of the cow-house with
the pup in my arms when Rose came
round the corner. She knocked me
down and would have killed me-
Thomas had, indeed, had narrow
escape, his trousers were ripped up from
end to end, and red marks all along his
legs showed where Roses horns had
grazed along them.
''Well," said 1, you'd better not
milk her this morning, since she's il
such fury"
''Oh, I'll milk her right enough, sir
by-and-by; just give her little time to
settle down." said Thomas. Its only
jealousy of that ERE pup, sir. She
couldn't abide seeing me a fondling OF

In about twenty minutes Thomas
called me down to see the milk. The

tinged with blood, and in half an hour

Clinton County, N. ", Politician Under
Arrest.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE ar
rest of Clinton Clapp. ex-Supervisor Of
Wappingers, Duchess county, and a
prominent Republican politician, by An
thony Comstock yesterday on the charge
of sending obscene literature through the
mails, has caused great sensation in the
county, as it concerns some of the most
prominent people in the village of Wap-
pingers Falls.
About year ago Mrs. Elizabeth W.
Smith, u widow over SO years of age, re-
ceived an anonymous letter, the contents
of which were shocking in the extreme.
About the same time the Rev. w. A.
Coon, pastor of the Baptist church in the
village, also received an anonymous letter
containing bad insinuations touching the
clergyman's visits to his Pensioners.
This led to a sensation as the minister
determined to find the author of the let
ter. Other letters of like character
were received about the village, the last
one being received by Mrs. Smith last De-
cember.
Comstock was brought into the case as
an inspector of the mail. He collected
specimens of the handwriting of five diff
ferent persons in the village. These were
compared with the handwriting in the
letters, but there was no similarity
On the book of the Baptist church was
the signature of G. w. Clapp. Com
pared with the handwriting of the letters,
an alleged striking similarity was dis
covered. The matter was submitted to
two experts, both of whom said that the
signature in the church book and the let
ters in question were apparently written
by the same hand.
On the strength of this Comstock ap-
peared before Judge John w. Oliver of
the town of Poughkeepsie yesterday, and
swore out warrants for the arrest of
Clapp.
Mrs. Smiths friends say that the fact
that Clapp is executor of her deceased
husbands estate, and that she had been
advised to have him removed, will be
used as tending to show motive upo
the part of Clapp for writing the letters
to her advisers and to herself. Clapp
was at one time trustee of his own
fathers estate valued at 100000. He
resigned in the midst of litigation arising
from an alleged deficiency in the estate.
This led to Mrs. Smith being advised to
remove him.
When Clapp was confronted with the
story he denied all knowledge of the let
ters, and declared that it was a conspir-
acy to ruin him. Mrs. Smith received 10
letters, all of which are unfit for publ
cation.
Clapp was brought before Justice Oil
yer for examination. He pleaded not
guilty and was held in $500 bail to await
the action of the grand Jury.

THE EXODUS BEGUN.
Visitors Fast Leaving Denver-The Boys
Parade

Parade.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 1.-THE best part
of the Knights Templar conclave is over,
and the visitors are leaving the city in
droves. The Grand Encampment is in
session, and to-day will elect officers and
settle the place for the next gathering.
The boys parade was the event yesterday
of the Knights Templar conclave and at
tracted almost as large a crowd as the
event of the previous day
The procession was over mile in
length, and several of the divisions were
uniformed in exact imitation of the full
regalia of a knight, and as they marched
through the streets, with all the regular
ity and precision of troop of veterans,
they presented one of the prettiest sights
that was seen during the entire gath
ering.
A large contingent of Knights have
left for River Front Park to witness the
national cowboy tournament, which is
being given every afternoon in conjunc-
ton with the Wild West Show Eastern
people are here given an opportunity to
see the western cowboy in his element,
subduing the wild Texas steer and the
Texas broncho.
A band of fifty Indians from the Jicar-
lila reservation lends reality to the scene
The event of the evening was a bicycle
parade. in which over $500 wheelmen
participated. Every rider carried at
least one Chinese lantern, and MANY of
the wheels were fitted with elaborate
designs of lanterns and bunting.
Prizes were given for the finest decor
ated wheels and for the most weird and
fantastic get-ups which the wheelmen
devised,

HANGED HIM In EFFIGY
Gov. Buchanan's Act Enrages
Memphis Citizens.


A Plot Formed to Take Him from Jail
and String Him Up--The SheriG Warned,
and Takes the Colonel Away Secretly
Great Excitement Prevails.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1.-THE COM
mutation of the sentence of H. Clay King,
the murderer of H. D. Poston, has caused
much excitement here. Gov. Buchanan
Is bitterly attacked by some of the local
newspapers.
Intense feeling was aroused. A mass
meeting was arranged for last night, and
it was given out that the jail would be
attacked and King lynched. So great was
the anxiety that Criminal Court Judge
j. J. Dubose issued the following order:
1t appearing to the Court that there is
now undue excitement in the public mind
because of the Communication of sentence
of H. Clay King, who was. by the Su-
preme Court sentenced to hang on the
18th day of August, 1892, and it further
appearing because of threatened mob vio-
lence it is not safe to longer keep said
King in the county jail of Shelby county,
it is, therefore, ordered by the Court, that
the sheriff of Shelby county, without
delay, take said King and deliver him to
the keeper of the penitentiary at Nash
vile, in pursuance to the order as made
by the Governor committing his sentence
to life imprisonment in the penitentiary
of the State.
Sheriff McLendenen took Col King
from the Jail last evening and out of the
city on to Nashville.
A crowd Of several hundred citizens as
sembled at about 1920 p. m. at the
corner of Main and Madison streets, in
the heart of the business portion of the
city and a block from where King killed
Poston, and burned Governor Buchanan
in eff1gy. The crowd was composed of
bankers, lewyers, doctors, merchants and
others.
The effigy was made of straw and an
OLD suit of clothes. 1t was hanged to a
telegraph pole and then set on fire, while
the crowd yelled and made remarks re-
fecting on Governor Buchanan. When
the efigy had been consumed the crowd
dispersed.
There is no doubt that King would
have been lynched if Sheriff McLendenen
had not spirited him away last evening.

10000 WILL GOTO WORK
Pittsburg Manufacturers and
Men Come to Terms.
CONCESSIONS MADE ON BOTH SIDES.

The Cooks and Walters in the Homestead
Mill Quit Work i'm Body Alderman
McNTasrers of PIttsburG Gets a Threat
ening Letter.
PITTsBURG, Aug 1.-THE Pittsburg
manufacturers last night signed the
Amalgamated Association scale in a body.
This means that 40, 900 iron workers will
return to work as union men. 1t saves
the Association from the wreck which has
threatened it ever since the Homestead
trouble. There were two conferences yes
terday between the manufacturers and
the men.
At the meeting last night the employ
ers declared they must start the mills and
the men acknowledged that they wanted
work On this basis a compromise was
soon effected. Both sides were willing to
make concessions, and both sides made
them, though the men seem to have the
best of it. The manufacturers conceded
what the men greatly desired-that the
basis of pudding remain at So. so per
ton-while the men agreed to a 10 per
cent reduction in all finishing depart
ments. In the bar and guide mills, with
the exception of the plate and rolling
mills, the men also agreed to 10 cents per
ton less than last year.
This agreement affects IA large mills in
the Pittsburg district alone, employing
40, 900 men. Many of these mills have put
in improved machinery by which, as the
men are paid by the output, wages will
be even larger than under the last scale,
which was adopted in 1889. The Carne-
gle mills will be the only important nom
union establishments in the district.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 11.-Seventy-fiv
cooks and walters came out of the Car
negie Steel Works last evening. AS they
marched down Eighth avenue the desert
ers were cheered by the strikers, their
wives and children. The trouble began
in the mill yesterday morning, when ].
A. Ray born, who entered into a contract
with the company several weeks ago to
furnish meals for three hundred men,
became involved in a dispute with an
other contractor in the same line of bust
ness.
Superintendent Potter was called upon
to act as arbitrator. He decided against
+ Rayborn, whereupon the latter decided to
throw up his contract.
Rayborn was waited upon by five mem
bers of the Carnegie special police force
under command of Capt. Newton while he
was fixing up his accounts, and ordered
to leave the place, but be refused to COM
ply. The officers then placed him under
arrest and locked him up. He was kept
a prisoner for over two hours. In the
meantime the 70 walters and cooks en-
plOyed by Rayborn learning what had
happened, quit work They packed their
valises, and when their employer was re-
leased from the company's prison, his

doubt of it; we have the fight almost
won. We've got the other side whipped,

Superintendent Potter to the contrary,

men will be of very short duration. Since
Saturday last fully 800 of the company's
recent importations have deserted.
superintendent Potter and Secretary
Lovejoy, on the other hand, express them
selves as confident that the Carnegie
Company will win the fight. The latter
said he did not believe that President
Gompers had asserted that the 600, 600
members of the 1 federation of Labor, en-
ployed by firms using Carnegie steel
and iron, stood ready to come
out on strike if necessary
to aid the locked out men of Homestead.
Mr.. Lovejoy says that the Carnegie
Company will pay no attention to the de-
alterations of the Amalgamated Associa-
