key to the cell. They took Allisor out

ing in the Choctaw Nation, incidental
to the political war feeling.
1t is feared that the worst has not
yet come. Gov. Jones came to town
and wired United States Indian Agent
Leon Bennett, who came in at 2 o'clock
last night and is in consultation with
a number Of prominent Indians. What
they have decided on has not vet been
made public. Agent Bennett suggest
ed that he call out a troop of United
States cavalry to arrest all parties en-
gagged in the riots and hold them in
readiness to go 10 the national council
mt eting when the Governor is to take
his seat. 1t seems that a plot has
been formed to murder all the promi-
nent Indians on the Jones side, each
squad of assassins TO work in a GER
tain community. The men in Gaines
county have not carried out their in-
structions. AS the other men have
not carried out their threats the lead
ers appear to be perplexed, and do not
know what to do. They are to have
another secret meeting at Antlers on
Sept. 2l, for what purpose is known
only to themselves.

George Wilson, the famous minstrel,
who is an out and out Democrat, was
carried to the headquarters of the
State Democratic executive committee
last night. He was introduced among
Others to Gov. Taylor. "George Will
son." repeated Gov. Taylor, "that is
familiar 1t strikes me haYe heard
that name before"
"This is George Wilson, the great
minstrel" some one explained.
"Why, heavens, is this you, George,
excuse the familiarity. Why many

ter underyour influence"
IL am glad to meet you," said the
other, "irst, because I have heard OF
you so much, and second, because I
have always heard and observed from
lithograph cuts that you resemble my
old minstrel friend, Barlow"
The two men soon became very
friendly and entertained crowd of a
dozen or more distinguished Demo
Gratis for an hour or two.
Secretary of State Miller, who was
there, insisted that Gov. Taylor sing
a song OF his own composition entitled
"The Fiddle and the Bow"
Rising to his feet the Ex-Governor
sang the song, part of which is as
follows:
In the happy long ago
When the live Goals used to glow
On the old log cabin hearthstone
Twas then drew the bow,
And the fdile laughed and sung,
And the puncheoDs fairly rung
With the clatter of the shoe-soles
In the happy long ago.
o, the dizzy swings and whirls,
OF the merry boys and girls,
In the good old time cotillion.
How they hoated to and fro;
0, they danced the Highland fling,
And they 'cut the pigeons wing"
To the music of the fiddle,
In the happy long ago.
George Wilson later responded with
his song "Says Grover to Ben," which
runs this way:
One day Grover Cleveland and Harrison did
meet
Says Harrison to Cleveland, "Let's walk down
the street,
They passed saloon and one .Isays, Lets go
in,"
"I'll just have to go you," said Grover to Ben.
Says Harrison to Cleveland "For weeks -have
been off.
I'll try little rock and rye to cure my bad
cough.
Besides it is easier. it only costs ten"
an just:have to go you" said Grover to Ben.
"If should be elected, lllrtell yon what III

I'll prove to my party am noble and true,
Therell be no more trouble and arguments
then"
"Oh, that's an ancient chestnut" said Grove

''Now, II Miss Ruth shopld marry Baby Mckee
Upon all arguments you and will agree,
There will be no more trouble or difference

ABANDONMENT OF WEALTH.
Two Strange Cases Illustrating the NIu.
liability of Human Affairs.

Men struggle for years to accumulate
wealth, and then in a variety of mysteri-
Gus ways abandon its control Forgetful-
ness, caused by age, was what bothered an
Auburn (Me.) man, but honesty on the
part of those who handled his cash saved
him from loss. In 1871 he placed 81 200 in
a savings bank, and even then being old,
promptly forgot all about the transaction
Recently one of his relatives learned of the
deposit, and on demand the cashier turned
over to the nonogenaran nearly 5000,
which represented the CAPITAL and accumu-
lated interest of twenty-one years.
But still stranger case is that to which
the Philadelphia Record called attention
not long ago. According to that paper
there is man in business on Arch street
who, while he does not own the build
ing he occupies and has no friendly rela-
tlons with the person who does own it, has
paid no rent and has never been asked to do
So. For eighteen years the business man
has been awaiting the appearance either
of the landlord or the latters agent, and
during that long period he has paid the
taxes on the building and kept it in thor.
ough repair. His business has been a most
prosperous one, and several rivals have felt
the sting of his ability to sail much closer
to the wind than they do owing to his be-
ing relieved of the usual yoke of rent day
1t is not at all unlikely that the property
will become his by right of undisputed
possession at the expiration of twenty -one
years, and it is worth many thousands of
dollars. Those who are conversant with
the strange case have come to the con-
clusion that the owner has long been
dead and it is supposed that he was lost
at sea. 1t is just such case in real estate
as not infrequently occurs in the business
of long established savings banks which
hold funds that are never called for by
their owners or their heirs

THE VERGENNES RACES.

Local races are not usually OF great
reporting them in full unless there was
something out of the ordinary line.
When we have done so, it is because
some suggestion to breeders was to be
Rutland Herald the following account of
the second race at Nergennes last week,
however, because the result was so
anomalous and because so much dis
cussion has arisen that it becomes matter
of public interest:
In the three-mlnute class there were five
starters, Capichoso by j. B. Parker of
Middlebury, Fanchon by j. A. Tappan of
Panton, Laura Franklin by c. l.. Paine
of Bridport, Lady Curtis by c. L. Holmes
of Charlotte. Duelion by W. II. Lamp
son of Ticonderoga. This race was one of
the most exciting and interesting ever
trotted in this vicinity, as it was contest
between the Middledury horse owned by
Darwin Rider, and II. +. Gaines brown
mare Fanchon. The first three heats
were won by the Rider horse Capichoso,
but in the last heat the Judges decided it
dead heat, believing that the Paine
horse was held back by its driver. The
following three heats were won by
Fanchon, the II. +. Gaines horse-sec-
ond money to Middebury horse, third
to Laura Franklin. Time, 2:4l5, 2:4l,
:421. 2 :41t, 2:44.
An appeal has been taken by Mr.. Ri
der to the trotting association on account
of their deciding the third heat dead
one.
The chestnut mare Capichoso is owned
by Mr.. Darwin Rider, proprietor of the
Addison House, gentleman who has
perhaps done as much as any other
single individual to give Addison county
her great reputation as the producer of
famous road and trotting horses. The
mare never before started in any race.
She was bred by Mr.. Tappan of Walt
ham, got by Timber Boy, son of Broken
Leg by Hambletonian dam, Lady Drum
mer. long driven by DR.. Wellington of
Middlebury, a famous road mare by a
son of Black Hawk.
Capichoso had, as we are informed, the
speed of the party. and won the three
heats without a skip or break. No sug-
gestion was made to any driver till the
middle of the third heat. when the starter
called out to the driver of Laura Franklin,
ST you don't win this heat | will take
you out" Capichoso won it handily, but
it was declared no heat Mr.. Il. +. Weller
was put up behind Laura Franklin. but
failed to make her go any faster, or as
fast, as before.
The many friends of Mr.. Rider claim
that he and his excellent Young mare
were unfairly treated. The imputatior
that Mr.. Rider was a party to any bar
gain (for fifty dollars will do him NJ
harm among those who know him. But
that is the point of the Judges decision
We trust that the matter will be fully IN
vestigated and Justice done.
Capichoso, in the third heat, made
tanning hit forward and was in no con
dition to continue in the race. She i:
all right now, however. and will b.
heard from later.
