In EARLY Days Oh the Father CT
Waters"
FATE OF THE BLACKLEGGSS.
They Robbed the Passengers but Sur-
fered the Penalty.

Written for the TRIBUNE by ''self sharpner. -
Away back in the fifties / think
in 1859 |, and a chum named
Johnny Hull, took passage on a
steamboat from New Orleans to
Hickman, Ky. We were enroute
for the Mobile & Ohio railroad
where we had a contract of timber
work on the Obion river in Tennes-
see. Our boat, the Clara Bell, was
getting up steam ready to start as
we went on board We had but
little accommodation, as she was
crowded with passengers bound for
different points further up the river.
A great number were hat-boatmen
who had sold their loads and were
returning home. They were, to
put it mildly, a rough set of river
men and the supposition was that
they had plenty of money. Now
right here is where the germ of the
story commences.
1t was getting dusk when our
steamer left the wharf. My chum
pointed out to me three we'll dressed
individuals with a great profusion
of jewelry on their persons. saying
that we must keep watch on
them as they were blackleg gam
blers, one Of whom he knew, and
that soon they would start gam
bling games, but for us not to have
anything to do with their games.
Two of the gamblers soon started
a game Of chuck a-luck, then
poker game, but the boatman
didn't seem to care about betting,
so after passing considerable
money back and forth among
themselves they gave up playing at
about 10 o'clock. By this time
most Of the passengers had retired
to rest as best they could. | and
my chum lay down Oh some sacks
of grain, and as for myself, I was
soon rowing in the land of dreams.
| was a judge of the criminal
court and had just sentenced a
we'll dressed gambler to be hung
by the heels until he was dead,
when ! rudely awakened by my
chum-whose face was as long as
the moral law-saying: "Sharp-

ner, get up, I've been robbed, my
pocket cut open, all my money
gone" lnstinctively my hand
went to my own pocket. Thank
goodness, mine was all right. I
didn't have much to lose, but what
l had, was money to me.
BY this time it was daylight, and
there seemed to be great commo-
ton among the passengers, especi-
ally the boatmen, who were ours
ing and loudly denouncing some
parties. We went down and joined
the crowd, and found that eleven
other parties had been robbed the
same way, their pockets cut and
their money distracted while they
slept. My mind instantly asso-
ciated the three gamblers with the
robbery. Just then a little Ger
man, with just enough English on
his tongue to make himself under
stood, pointed to one of the trio of
gamblers, saying: 'He ish de Won
dat got de monish, him dry to got
mine monish but himnot get mine,
don't it." Questioned further
about it, he said the gambler
awakened him in trying to get his
pocket book; that he saw him
plainly a. he lay near the dim Ian
tern and he would know him
among a thousand. This seemed
to be proof conclusive as all hands
had already suspicioned the three
men. Then a rush was made to
capture the culprits. Two were
soon taken, their hands tied be-
hind them; after short search the
third was found in the closet
where he had gone to empty his
pockets of the stolen money, as
none was found on him. The haul
was considerable, as an estimate
Of the twelve losses was near 81 900
and not a dollar was found on any
of the three.
The captain Of the steamer was
then called to say what should be
done with the prisoners. He told
the angry tiat-boatmen they could
do just as they plea sed with them.
A part was for hanging them, but
after an impromptu trial, it was
decided to whip them on the bare
back with tarred rope. The pur-
ser certified that the three had
bought their tickets together. One
of them owned to the robbery,
and declared the other two were
not guilty. But he was not the one
that the German saw trying to rob
him, so it was decided that all
three were concerned. They APP
portioned out the punishment as
follows: The one the German
recognized to receive forty lashes
on the bare back, the other two
twenty-five each.

TIE WATERFORD ELECTION.

Michael Davitt's defeat at the
Waterford election undoubtedly is
severe blow to the Irish home
rulo faction which acknowledges
Mccarthy as its leader. If Davitt
had succeeded, the Parnellites, on
the other hand, would have been
without leader in parliament and
must have suffered greatly in con-
sequence. AS it is, the victory
comes just at the time when their
hopes had apparently touched the
lowest point.
The result at Waterford will give
added zest to the struggle and
may prolong it for many months
to come. The Parnellite siren 9Th
greatest in the Irish cities and
Waterford was considered one of
thu safest seats. The former mem
Der, Richarp Power, was a Jealous
follower of Parnell and belonged to
a great Waterford family. This
influence was probably cast for
John Redmond and certainly had
good deal to do with Davitt's
defeat.
The daily reports from the con-
stituency indicated that the clergy
were not so vigorous for the fedora
ZIONIST candidate as on previous
occasions. The action of Arch
bishop Walsh Of Dublin, who is
sued pastoral a few weeks before
the contest deprcciating appeals to
party passion during the Christ
mas season, may have had some
thing to do with the matter. But
that is hardly likely. The true
reason, perhaps, for the compara-
tive neutrality of the clergy was
their avowed dislike for Davitt.
His views on land naturalization
were naturally distasteful to them,
The suspicion that on many i'm
portant questions Davitt would be
far more radical than Redmond
was certainly not helpful to the
cause of the great land reformer
and must have materially aided in
the election of the Parnellite leader.
Besides this, the tension between
the two parties has greatly less
ened since the death of Mr.. Par
nell and and at present there is no
important question of morals at
issue to give the clergy an excuse
to interfere actively in politics.

A SOUTHERN REPUBLIC.
Some OF the Salient Features Of the Ar
Reutine Confederation.

Some OF the Salient Features of the Ar
gentine Confederation.
The constitution of the Argentine re-
public Is in its features Identical TO that
Of the United States, says Don Juan 8.
Attwen, In the New England Magazine.
Nevertheless there are some differences
worthy of note. The president Is
elected in precisely the same manner as
In the United States, but cannot be re-
elected, and his term Of office, Is SIX
years. He has more power than the
president Of the United States ss far as
making appointments is concerned,
since he only asks the advice and con-
sent Of the senate to appoint diplomatic
ministers, judges, and officers of the
army and navy above the rank Of
colonel. He fills oil other Offices at his
own discretion, but all his decrees,
proclamations, ETC., must be counter
signed by cabinet minister or else
they are valueless. Thus the constitu-
ton makes the cabinet ministers re-
sponsible for all acts of the president
The members of the cabinet can an
swer questions and take part In the de-
bates OF the house and senate, although
they are mot members of either body,
nor does an adverse vote on any meas
ure OF the government carry with it
change in the cabinet, MS is the case In
France and England and is becoming
the custom in Chilli
The powers Of the Argentine. con-
gress are similar to those vested in the
congress of the United States, though
somewhat greater. The congress has
the power to legislate for all the prov
inces, debating codes to be applied ip
all OF them, thus securing uniformity
OF legislation. The provinces reserve
the right to elect their own judges, as
well as the other officials that their
local constitution demands. All federal |
and provincial judges are appointed for
life, and cannot be removed unless they
are impeached and condemned

Resolutions.

A mysterious Providence has again
cast the dark shadows OF the sad visitor
death within the circle of our fraternity
and carried away our beloved brother,
Joseph Schwartz.
Brother Schwartz was an active mem
Der OF our order and during the days of
health remembered to provide for the
wants of those dependent upon him who
are now deprived of his support, thus
exemplifying those grand principles
most commendable in the individual
and characteristic of the beloved order
OF which he was member. He had
been member of Centennial Lodge No.
SO A. o. U. w., Lynchburg, Ohio, for
over six years and was ever prompt to
contribute his share for the relief of
those who were deprived OF their sup
port of brother and was otherwise
faithful in the discharge Of his duty and
obligation to our order.
Resolved, That Centennial Lodge has
lost worthy member, our community
an honest and upright citizen and the
family an affectionate hush and and
father.
(. Resoloed, That we tender our heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family, who
were so royal and vigilant in their effort
TO restore our brother to health, and
commend them to the keeping and trust
of the giver OF life.
Resolred, That copy of these resolu-
lions be presented to the family and |
also copy furnished each of the county |
papers.
Resolred, That the Lodge be draped in !
mourning and that the usual badge of
mourning be worn by the members of
the Lodge for thirty days.

CLOAk.ROOM CRUSHES.

a Lady Who Executed War Dance on n
Pile of Wraps.
Much that is amusing, says the Lon
don Lady's Pictorial, has been said and
written OF the disorder and crush of the
cloak rooms during some of the func-
dons OF the present season. One en-
ragged LAZY Is said to have made q heap
OF the garments Of Others and to have
executed war dance on them as a sort
OF solacement for the non-appearance
OF her own wraps. But these little in
cidents appear trivial indeed compared
with the very serious risk run by the
naval and military officers who attend
ed recent levee Of Lord Hopetoun's at
Melbourne government house. The
cloak room In which they left their hats
and coats was 30 constructed that those
at the door could not see the interior.
and at the conclusion of the levee the
crowd kept pouring In until the crush
In the room became terrific, and those
damned against the walls were in
actual danger Of suffocation or being
squeezed to death. The attendants
quite lost their heads, and very. tragic
consequences were only sverted BY the
presence OF mind shown by one gentle
man, who succeeded in climbing on the
window sfll, opening the window and
jumping out. A number of men stand
ing near made their escape In the same
undignif1ed manner, and n lat the
congestion Wes relieved, strong Ian
guage and Violent sction ceased. and
the affair ended without loss of hfe.

No one knows better than the faithful
pastor the great value Of sound physical
and nerve strength. The strain upon
brain and nerve, the physical exhaustion
following excessive work, the responsi.
bilities and sympathies with Affections
ana the myriad cares make the earnest
preachers duties srduous and wearing
In the extreme.
We do not wonder, therefore, at the
strong and ringing words Of praise which
the eminent divine, Rev. q. D. r,
Meacham; gives that most wonderful of
medicines, DR.. Greene,s Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. When he was run
down in health, weak in nerves, pros.
trated In strength, and with his blood
badly impaired, he wasrestored to sound
and vigorous health by this marvellous
health renewer.
Here are the exact facts in his own
words:
II am very glad to say in regard to
Or. Greene's great remedy that when nv
blood was badly impoverished by an old
scrofula humor, and my nervous system
was greatly impaired, Dr.. Greene's medi.
cine gave me wonderful relief.
"At the present time my health ia al
good as at any time in my life, and nv
confidence in DR.. Greene's remedy ia
constantly increasing.
Rev. q. D. R. MnAcHAM.
Pastor Baptist Church, Townshend, VT"
We have published the testimonials of
vast numbers of people who were cured
by the use of the great discovery, DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy, but we take more pleasure in giving
to the world Rev. Mr.. Meacham's own
words in regard to the wonderful benefits
ne received from this valuable remedy.
because we realize that the earnest words
OF a minister will have great weight with
sufferers from disease, and everybody
who reads his convincing words in re.
gard to the sure and remarkable curative
powers of this medicine will lose no time |
IN securing a bottle and thus obtain a |
cure. @' *

harmless, and is kept by all druggists at

Its discoverer is the well.known DR..
dreene OF s5 w. 18th Street, New York,
who gives consultation and advice free
to the sick, personally or by letter. The
sick should use Immediately DR.. .Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, for it
is not only the best remedy ever discov.
cred, but those using it have the privil.
ege OF consulting DR.. Greene concerning
its effects, their health, etc. This fact
alone guarantees the assurance of cure.
II you need a medicine do not fail to
lake this best of all remedies.
