Set a Horses Broken Rib.

-Four or five months ago one of thG
hostlers employed at the stable oi
Charles D. Nichols. of Pawtucket, no
ticed that one of the handsome pair oi
cream geldings acted little lame. A
superficial examination Of the shoulder
resulted in not finding any cause fol
lameness The next morning, when the
animal was taken out TO be curried,
there was swelling back Of the shoul-
der and veterinary surgeon was con
suited. 1t appeared to him like rheu-
matism, and with instructions to see il
it could not be sweated out he left, say
ing he would call the next day. The
sweating process did not meet the de-
sired results, and thorough examina-
ton revealed the fact that the fifth rib
was broken off very close to the back
bone.
The rib was set, and since that time
the animal has done no work. The result
of this piece of oonesetting has been
watched with no small amount of inter
est by all veterinary surgeons hereabout
who have become acquainted with the
peculiar circumstances Of the case. How
the NIB was broken is yet mystery, and
it probably VIII remain so. The result
of the operation was successful, and in a
short time the animal will again be all
right. Journal

SENATE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29-Vice President
Morton laid before the senate number of
petitions adverse to the free coinage of
silver. Senator Voorhees, made the pre-
Bentation of these petitions the occasion
for a speech in defense of silver.
Mr.. Stanford introduced a bill to de-
termine the value of the legal tender dol
lar. 1t was laid on the table for the present.
The bill provides that the value of
twenty-five and eight-tsnths grains of gold
shall be the standard by which shall be
determined the value of the dollar: that all
dollars shall be redeemed and paid out in
the discharge of debts, both public and
private, at par, measured by that stand
ard. whether the stamp of the government
making the dollar be on gold, silver, paper
Or ahy other material; also that the legal
tender value of each dollar issued by the

War Exc,rement in the Metropolis


The recent war talk tested the patri
otism of the members of the National
Guard In this city with flattering results.
Several of the retired veterans of the
Seventh regiment, for instance, hastened
to get themselves enrolled on the active
list In ORDER tnat they might be ready to
go to the front with the old regiment If
the occasion should require. In a few
instances new uniforms were ordered by
veterans who had outgrown their old
ones.
Another thing that the war talk did
was to bring out in full force the Eek
ira" howlers These noisy tricksters
permeated the entire city for several
days They stirred up the down town
business sections at noon and startled
the people in the residence streets In the
evenings On two or three occasions
the papers they sold actually contained
some news about the Chilian situation,
but in the majority of cases there was
nothing to Justify the narrowing cry Of
''Extra!" and not infrequently the buyer
of an extra" would find himself in pos-
session of newspaper one day old for
which he paid five times the regular
price. Two enterprising shouters went
through several usually quiet streets on
the west side above Fiftieth street one
evening and worked off few hundred
copies of cheap illustrated paper nearly
amonth old They had probably bought
the lot at SO much per pound. and they
sold the papers at five cents copy

INDIAN TERRITORY REPUBLICANS.

PARIS, Tex, Feb. ga convention OF
the Repnblicans of the Indian Territory
has been called to meet at South McAles-
ter. in the Choctaw nation, on May 23 The
Republicans OF the different nations in tie
Territory are urged TO organize clubs and
call conventions to send delegates to the
Republican national convention, and to
select committee for the territory and to
effect a thorough organization Of the
party in the Indian Territory. An address
has been issued, which says:
We call upon persons in the Indian Ter
ritory VINO are favorable to the purposes
set forth to assemble in their respective
neighborhoods and effect club organza-
tions and to arrange and hold conventions
to send delegates TO the said territorial
convention, at the time and place men
toned, and we recommend as a
basis of representation to said
conception, one delegate to each 200 Re-
publicaus, or fraction over fifty, residing
IN each OF the five nations. We urge upon
all the necessity for this organization, as
we have strong hopes of success in repre-
sentation in the national convention, and
such will be of great advantage to those
living IN the territory, as it will afford
medium through which to make known
their wants.
I'VE respectfully invite the Indian citi-
zens heretofore without political affilia-
lions TO join us, and assure them of a
hearty welcome into the organization.
Being without organization in the terri
tory. none having authority to speak,
what IS said in this call is for the purpose
OF ef1ectlng an organization of the Repub
llcan party and to put it in shape to be
recognized by the national convention.
This is in the interest of no man, but for
the general good Of the party. As such
and in this spirit we ask the hearty coop
Grafton and support of all Republicans
throughout thexterritory.

THE GOLD RESERVE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29-At the instance
Df Representative Dockery of Missouri the
house today adopted resolution directing
she committee on judiciary TO inquire and
report TO the house as to the right of the
secretary of the treasury to use the SiOO.-
100000 OF gold reserve for current expendi-
lures.
Mir, Dockery stated that be believed
with several able financiers of the coun-
try, that the gold reserve could not be
used TO defray the current expenses of the
government The question upon which
-1r. Dockery demands formal decision
Is held by the Democrats to be of the ut
most Importance to the appropriation
committee and also TO the house as a
whole IN the coming discussion of revenue
reform bills. If the gold reserve should be
decided TO be not available for current ex-
penses, 1t simply means, they say, that
The flfty-second congress has 800, ,OOO. 900
less TO draw upon in the matter of appro-
prlatlons than has been generally under
stood TO be available. The Democrats saw
that then their declaration that the country
Is confronted by deficit will be Justified
and that MIR. Holman and his colleagues
must demand rigid economy all along the
line ot appropriations

A GREAT STRIKE PROBABLE.

LONDON. Feb. 29-Is is now estimated
that the immense number of AGO, 900
miners will cease work in a fortnight in
their efforts to prevent the masters from
putting into effect scheme to reduce
wages, The mining industry throughout
Great Britain will be greatly affected, the
only miners who stand aloof from the
movement being those employed in south
Staffordshire and east Worcestershire.
Should the present intentions Of the
miners be carried out and the strike be
inaugurated branch industries will also be
adversely affected. and nearly one million
workmen will feel the effect of the strug-
gle. The agitation is due to the action of
the mine owners in Wales and Cumber-
land, who gave an intimation of their in
tention to reduce wages on the sliding
scale principle, owing to the decline that
had occurred in the price of coal.

INFERIOR GOODS.

The only safe way for purchasers is to
insist on having the genuine article, and
not allow themselves to be swindled by
having plasters said TO be "just as good, y
or containing superior ingredients, " i'm
posed upon them. These are only tricks
to sell inferior goods that no more compare
with ALLCOCK'S Porous PLAsTERS than
copper does with gold. One trial of ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERS will convince the
most sleptical of their merits
The eminent Henry A. Mott, Jr., Phi D.,
F. c. s, late government chemist, certi-
ties:
My investigation of ALLC0CKs POROUS
PLASTER shows it to contain valuable and
essential ingredients not found in any
other plaster, and | find it superior TO and
more efficient than any other plaster"
Ask for ALLCOCK'S, and let no solicita-
ton or explanation induce you to accept a
substitute

FRENCH DYNAMlTERS.

PARIS, Feb 29--Tremendous excitment
was occasioned in the fashionable Fau-
bourg St. Germain by an explosion that
occurred early this morning at the resi-
dence of the princess of Sagan. While a
manservant was sweeping ont the hall
the broom struck IN object and instantly
there was tremendous explosion. In a
moment CONSERVATION prevailed in the
vicinity. People rushed out In all styles of
dress and undress, not knowing but what
the next moment the walls of their
houses would tumble about them. 1t is
believed by many that the explosion was
the work of Anarchists, who placed dyna-
mite in the doorway in their desire for
revenge against society, and had taken
this means to destroy property. The win
dows in the princess residence and in u
number of adjoining houses were blown to
atoms. The escape OF the servant from
death is miraculous.

they were met by one of Miller's pals

A. j. Cooper and Thomas Toole, ordered
the unknown to drop his gun Instead of
dropping it he turned the gun on them and
general iusillade began Toole had his
little finger shot off, while the second
shot struck Cooper, killing him instantly
Sprinkle was shot three times. and will
die. The unknown then, to prevent his
capture, ran into a field and shot himself,
dying instantly. Miller was shot in the
wrist, but in the melee escaped. The
whole country is aroused over the shoot
ing, and if Miller is caught he will be
roughly dealt with; for no such crime has
been committed in this section of Missouri
for many years. and not since the war has
ever been SO stirred the country Miller
was seen at O'Clock last night three miles
southwest of Dexter. Since then no one
has caught sight of him, but several
posses are hard after him.

A relic of the var between the states
is now on the dry dock, receiving such
minor repairs and cleaning as may be
necessary to commission her for harbor
defense. This was the second monitor
ever built, and the record of her useful
ness and her hard service may be seen
in the shot dents of the turrets These
are painted in color different from that
of the surrounding iron in order to en-
phasize their story, and they serve as an
object lesson to show that after all,
when compared with our days, how in
nocuous were the boasted shot and shell
of the rebellion. Of course it does not
make much difference whether a giant
is killed by toothpick or hoisted with
petard. He is dead all the same, and
worms will eat him. But we were
proud, and with good reason, of those
big smooth bores and of their charges in
those parlous days.
Then the theory was that for every
ten pounds of shot one pound Of powder
was needed, 90-pounder being fired
with nine pounds of powder; today We
have for each pound of powder two
pounds OF shot, the 10-inch guns of the
Miantonomoh, the Nantucket's neigh
Dor, using $50 pounds of powder to drive
the 5O0-pound projectile. The Nan
tucket has also a sentimental interest,
for when the great Ericsson lay in state
on her decks in the harbor of New York,
she was the immediate representative of
what his genius had evoked to save the
country in time of peril, for the original
Monitor went down one dismal day off
our treacherous coast, and left as the
second product of her wonderful type
the little coast defender which now lies
half hidden within the walls of the dry
dock.-Harpar;s Weekly.
