Sheriff Clarke Cole fell fatally wounded.
In an instant the firing became general.
Deputy Bob Harroll went down next with a
load of buokshot in his back. He will prob
ably die.
The deputies taken by surprise, were I'M
eble to return the fire. The remaining two
dapuGles E. A. Yerger and o. l.. Weber,
after making feeble attempt to defend
themselves, went TO the floor, the former
fiddled with bird shot and the latter with a
charge OF buckshot in his legs.

The wounds OF Yorger and Webber are not

A COMPLETE WATERLOO.



LONDON, March 1.-THE county counGi
elections Saturday were iii astrou 10 the
Tories, who had been building ON the hope
of recovering from their defeat of three
yenrs ago. Although the results are not
yet known in detail, it is certain that the
Progressists will have majority of
two to one in the council In the old
council the Progressists had seventy
election members against the Indepen-
dents forty eight, while they now claim to
have elected seventy-eight or eighty.
The Tories are dumbfounded by the com
pleteness of their defeats as they have held
that the election of three years ago went
rather by default as they were misled by
their certainty OF success into abstaining
from strenuous Efforts. Ever since the
council showed its inclination toward
LIBERALIZATION Of tramways, gas and
water works, owned by private companies
and toward the favorite socialistic scheme
Of getting the most taxes out of the big.
gest landlords, preparations have been
making among the Tories to change its
complexion at this election. They could
hardly have suffered more complete
Waterloo than that Of Saturday.

LONDON, March I'm The Sunday Sun
T. p. O'Connor says: The political situa-
ton has become somewhat easier during
the week, chiefly owing to the return of
Mr.. Gladstone who is wisely unwilling to
hasten the dissolution before July, for OBJ
vious reasons. Mr.. Gladstone knows that
he will succeed to power, and he is unwill-
ing to form government say in April or
Nay, with half the session gone. He

which are as yet unprepared, and would
be placed at a great disadvantage. The
disaster of 1856 WIS doubtless largely
caused by the galloping pace at which Mr..
Gladstone and his ministry were obliged to
produce their bills They will now prob
ably take months for the purpose where
they formerly took weeks In this way
the autonomy bill will be presented
in form that will have been carefully
considered in every detail. It is on ac-
count of this policy on Mr.. Gladstone s
part that the opposition have entirely

Turning PoinSof the Civil War.
The unveiling of the high-water mark tab.
let Of the Civil War. at Gettysburg, PENN,
was attended by a great crowd. Every
train brought hundreds Of visitors to the IA
NOUS battlefield. Long before the time set
for the dedication Of the monument the 70
served space was filed and many thousands
were crowded out. -
The monument stands about midway In
the Federal lines a. they were on June g.
1858, between Rouni Top and Cemetefy
Heights, and Is just in the rear Of the clump
of trees which were pointed out by General
Lee to General Pickett as the objective point
Of the Federal line through which It was
hoped the Virginia infantry would .braak.
The monument consists of broad marble
pedestal fanked on either side by cannon
and surmounted by q great open book OF
bronze, the left page Of which gives the
names of Confederate commanders In that
commanders Of the Federal regiments which
met it.
At Q o'clock the Marine Band arrived and
the exercises were opened by DIR. j. J. Saw

Had q Mounted Model.

Respecting the colossal statue oil
Peter the Great at St. Petersburg it is
related that as soon as the artist had
formed his conception Of the design be
communicated it o the Empress Cathar-
inc, at the same time pointing out the
impossibility of naturally representing 80
striking a position Of man and animal
without having before his eyes horse
and rider in the attitude she had devised.
General Melissino, an officer having the
reputation of being the most expert az
we'll as the boldest rider of the day, to
whom the difficulties of the artist were
made known, offered to ride daily one
OF Count Alexis Orloff's best Arabians to
the summit of steep artificial mound
formed for the purpose, accustoming the
horse to gallop up to it, and to halt sud-
denly with the forelegs raised, paving
the air over the brink of precipice.
This dangerous experiment was carried
into effect by the general for some days
in the presence of several spectators and
of the artist. wio sketched the various
movements and parts Of the groups from
day to day, and was thus enabled to
produce, perhaps, the finest, certainly
the most correct, statue of the kind IN
Europe. Weekly. .
