HARRISON HEARTILY EULoGIzED
Atthe Quarter Millennial Celebration Of thu
Town of Woburn.

Atthe Quarter-Millennial Celebration of the
Town of Woburn.
WoBURN, MASS, Oct. Tt is estimated
that 10000 strangers were in town to-day,
the second Of the quarter-millennial celebra-
tion. The weather is all that could be de-
sired, and the big procession, the feature
of the forenoon, was pronounced SUGGEST
The climax of the great celebration came
this afternoon in the banquet in the
new armory. E1-Mayor Johnson performed
the duties of toastmaster in most graceful
manner. In his Introductory address he
called attention to the fact that three Presi-
dents of the United States-Franklin
Pierce, Grover Cleveland and Benjamin
Harrison-traced their ancestry to families
now or formerly of Woburn. His mention
of the name of Grover Cleveland brought
out burst of enthusiastic applause, but
when he spoke the name of President Har-
rison it was greeted with a perfect ovation
of cheers and clapping Of hands
The first toast was ''The President of the
United States" and after brief letter of
regret had been read from President Harri-
son. his representative, in the person of
Hon. John W. Foster, Secretary of State,
was presented, and was given a reception
that must have stirred his heart with de-
light. His eulogy of President Harrison
was well worded and heartily applauded.

AMAZONS FIGHT BRAVELY.
The French Victorious in a Desperate Battle
in King Behanzin's Country.

The French Victorious in a Desperate Battle
in King Behanzin's Country.
PARIS, Oct 7.-Colonel Dodds, COM
mander of the French forces operating
against King Behanzin, of Dahomey, has
telegraphed to the Minister of Marine an
account of battle between his command
and the Dahomeyans on October 4. The
natives occupied a strong position and a
desperate fight followed the attack by the
French. A thick bushwood surrounded
the Dahomeyans' position, which afforded
some protection.
The battle lasted an hour, at the end of
which the Dahomeyans fed in disorder and
were pursued by the French The natives,
being thoroughly familiar with the country,
found little difficulty in escaping. Five
Europeans and three SenegaIese were
killed, and "a Europeans and 13 natives
were wounded. The enemy's loss is un-
known. but they left on the field 200 dead,
including 20 of King Behanzn's famous
Amazons. These bodies were all counted
within ten yards of the French lines A
judgment can thus be formed of the bravery
with which the Dahomeyans fight Two
hundred repeating rifles were found on the
field. This fact will add to the grievance
France has against Germany, for the French
claim that King Behanzin, besides the 1000
rifles allowed him by treaty, has an almost
equal number of Winchesters and other
repeating rifles that have been furnished
him by German traders
The battle was waged for three hours.
Both sides fought fiercely, but the Amazons
were particularly noticeable for their
bravery. After the enemy were driven off
the French found on the battlefield a num-
ber of shells marked s'Krupp." King
Behanzin commanded the Dahomeyans in
person.

HILL AND HIS DEAL.

In Spite of 1t, His Friends Are Betting
Money ON Cleveland.
NEW YORK, Oct Z-''Senator Hill has
made his deal. From an excellent source
have it that the Democratic State Com
mittee will indorse the Republican noml-
nation of Charles Andrews for Judge of the
Court of Appeals, says an Albany
dispatch to the Herald 1.-THE Cleveland
men are much disturbed over this pro-
gramme. They fear that the Senator
intends to knife Cleveland, and
have taken this step to prevent
conviction after election. With no
contest in the State, if Cleveland is beaten
there would be no telling what did it. If,
however, Hill candidate for Judge ran
ahead of Cleveland it would be pretty evil
dent that there had been treachery. 1t
is the Hill shrewdness in working to have
Andrews indorsed that makes the Cleveland
men excited over the reported deal They
want Democratic nomination for Judge
made SO as to hold tabs on Hill, and they
swear they will break the deal
'oThese men seem to me to be unneces-
sarily alarmed. There is no evidence that
Hill will play Cleveland false. I find Hill
men betting on Cleveland, which is pretty
good sign of their personal loyalty.
Hills object in not wanting q
Democrat nominated for the Court Of Ap-
peals is more likely to be because he fears
that while he is loyal, many of the over
Jealous Hill men may vote for the Judge
ard against Cleveland"

The Famous Steubenville Litigation Ends
In the Defendants Favor.
SrEUBENvILE, Oct 7.-[SpeeiaL 1.-The
celebrated "moon-eyed horse" case, which
has exhausted all the horse knowledge Of
the two County Courts, where it has been
fought over since the spring of 1891, was
finally decided to-day. The defendant
who played the "moon-eyed horse" on the
plaintiff, won. Both parties live in Warren
township Nearly two years ago Henry
Merkle sold a sound horse to George
MedilL Two weeks after the sale the horse
went blind. Veterinary experts pronounced
the disease hereditary, declaring that It
could not develop in the short time men,
toned, and, therefore, the seller must have
known of the animals defect Then came
the long legal fight
The queer feature of the case was that
while the horse was unquestionably blind
at times, at others he was blessed with
better than normal sight. The moons
changes did the business, the brute's vision
varying as the moon wa1ed or waned.
Finally scientific knowledge pronounced
the case one of periodic ophthalmia. Merklo
made good his defense that he sold the
horse on trial, and that up to the time the
trial ended and the horse was accepted,
there was nothing the matter with it.

were or what they were doing. Inever had
much in common with the ones who lie here
dead and dying, as am farmer and try to
be good citizen. I wish you would state
that mother and have no Ill feeling against
the people OF Cofreyville. and no words Of

since May. He was never wild or a drinker
or gambler, and although cowboy we al
ways thought him to be straight and law
abiding.
