A NAVIGATING LEOPARD.

Dopopulated Villages In RenSal-Foedinr
on Women nnd Children.
The Calcutta Englishman contains o
0lood-curdling account Of the doinSs Of
man-eating leopard lately shot in tho
Rajshahi district, in Bengal. Tho mon
stcr had destroyed ono hundred and
hfty-four persons before he was brought
down. His appetite for flesh, his fcrociSy,
his cunning and his audacity were
unexamplcd in tho leopard tribe, and
they would have done credit to q tiger.
lie dcpoPulated whole villages, for the
nero terror of his name sent the inhab-
itants flying Us soon rs he had seized q
solitary victim in their midst.
For miles around the people never
ventured to leave their houses after
uiGhtfan until they heard he yvas dead.
But this was no great hintlrancc. to him.
He would seize them from the vcranda3
when they were smoking the evening
pipe, and sometimes ho penetrated tho
very houses in tho dead Of night and
carried away chi1dren-oftcr without
giving the slightest alarm to the other
inmates.
As n rule, he killed only one person at
time; but sometimes he killed two, and,
on one occasion, three in one day. Chill
dren and old women were his favorite
food. Among his victims were but six
men. He was impelled by sheer hank
cring for human flesh, for he never
touched the cattle.
The villagers wcrc beginning to think
the saourgc was n demon incarnatc, and
it was impossible to organize them for
the pursuit. At length some twenty
elephants were brought together for IN
expedition and 4 flying column of Brit
ish planters set forth in quest of tho de-
stroycr. They searched for somc time
in vain, until an old man, whose wife
had been cateu, came to report that
their quarry had taken refuge in u tam
arind tree.
1t WIS as he had stated, only the man
eater had by this time hidden himself
in the Jungle ut the foot Of the tree, and
for the moment coWld not be found. The
place was surrounded and the elephants
advanced In close order to tramplc the
fugitive out OF his hiding place. This
mancrlver succeeded after frequent rep
Atition; the beast was driven out of
over, and ut once riddlcd with balls.
Ike will become q legend in the district,
and perhaps Il deity.

remedies applied would give temporary
relief, but tie aimcnt would begin afresh
the next dav, as if starting from an en-
tirely new cause. This soon began to
show that it was undermining the sys-
tens of the wOrkmen, and in few DAYS
would render them unfit for labor, as it
had in few individual cases already
done. The sickness was epidemic and
afflicted all ol the workers, varying ac.
cording to the strength and constitution
OF the sufferer.
That there must be something bevond
the natural reasons for such disease
was so evident that an investigation
was ordered, and il was developed that
the men had been eating poisoned food
At each place where they were accus
toned to go for their meals and midday
or night lunches, these unsuspecting vic
Tins had daily been ted with coffee and
solid food that had been impregnatcd
with croton oil or some similar power
tul agent, thus causing the peculiar sick
lii IS which had been diagnosed as chol-
era morhuS.
Later the disclosure became even more
startling when it was learned that the
poison had been administered by the
cooks OF the lunch houses, who had beer
brihed bY some parties to do the work
The instigators are under watch, and
it is probable that large number O
arrests will follow in Il few days.

JUST \ STORY.
Charged That Democrats wanted

CHICAGO, Oct. 10-The ews-Record
this morning publishes what purports to
he the detail of an attempt of the local
Democratic executive committee to pur.
chase last Friday the nomination of the
papers of the Peoples party i'll this
State 1t is said that certain member
of the executive committee of the Peo-
pies party had made arrangements to
dispose of the papers for $4,000. He
was disappointed in his expectation of
being chosen as messenger to carry the
papers to Springfield and when he en-
dcavored to bribe the messenger. the
later knocked him down. The Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate, Atgeld,
denies all knowledge OF the matter and
says as the Peoples party is made up OF
an equal number of Republicans and
Democrats, to wipe out the ticket would
not affect the vote.

NEARLY All. DEMOCRATS.
The Audiences That Crawford
ana Brawn-FriichaTd Meet.

HAYNES STORE, y, c., Oct. S--The
smallest crowd We nave yet had met us
at this place today. An association in
session On one side and the funeral OF a
prominent merchant of Henrietta on the
other were the causes. There were 1875
people present, however, and two
thirds of Them were Democrats, and we
had a good time.
There is only one more appoint
ment in this county, at Otter creek
on Monday, twenty-five miles to
the west. The alleged stronghold
of the Third party has been visited, and,
as usual, it has failed to matcrializc into
ANYTHING formidable. They are here, as
elsewhere but not in such numbers as to
leopard the success OF the Democracy,
and am as sure of democratic ma.
ority in Rutherford one month from to-
day as can be of anything still in the
future. And the majority will be larger
than two years ago wheR Crawford car
ried the county by gig.
We came by Henrietta Mills this morn
ing, and went all through the establish
ment, aud there is no doubt but the
Democrats will find more votes at this
box than the Third party will get in the
county all told. Since two years ago
the mills have more than doubled their
capacity. and now employ between six
and seven hundred hands. Two years
ago the vote from these mills did not eX-
coed so. This wear it will be near three
hundred, and the Third party and Re
publicans combined will not get exceed.
ing eight votes. These figures were given
me by two or three different men, heads
of departments in the mill, and take
them to bt authentic.
Pr;tchard stated IN his speech today
(when Crawford had no reply that there
was surplus of one hundred aud
twcnty.nine millions of dollars in the
United States treasury. If Pritchard' S
assertions could be transmitted into
facts. the treasury statements would
present an entirely different array OF
| figures
The Waterloo which met the Third
party and Republican combine in Geor
gia has enthused the Democrats as much
as it has dispirited the Third partyites
and radicals. 1t shows that Chris Ma
gee, with his radical Doodle and the
Third partyitcs all combined are not
IN it.

He went so far as to declare at Ellen

could not be induced to make such q
statement as that.
7 At Ruthcrfordton on Thursday the
revenue gang that followed Pritcharc
all through Mcdowell and Rutherford
waved banner with Harrison's picture
on it over both Pritchard and Brown
when they spoke while the negroes die

pie what the Third party means.

Rutherford, which VIII Give
Crawford Larger Majority
Than Two Years Ago.
ELLENBORo, N. c., Oct. This, Col
fax township, is where the Third party
is reported to be strongest in Rutherford.
1t has been the banner Democratic pre-
cinct in the county, and of course the Re
pubicans had to do something to break
it upifpossiblc. So(aras have been able
t0 find out do not think over 40 Dem
ocrats at the outside have been led off
And they have been smart enough to re
quire that ono Republican must join every
time Democrat does. BY this means
the Third party is about half and half in
this township, ard one of the prominent
Democratic members stated yesterday
that he did not propose TO vote until he
saw the Republicans deposit their tal-
lots, and then he could not be fooled.
This makes it very sure that the Demo-
cratic majority here will not be inter
fered with.
There was fine crowd present, and as
the speaking was in the open air, PritcE-
ard labored hard and made Il poorer
effort than usual, He led of and was
entitled TO fifteen minutes close, but only
occupied about five minutes of it, saying
that his throat was hurting him.
Crawford was in fine condition, and
showed the Third party Democrats that
every thing they were contending for the
Democrats had been fighting to have
enacted into law for twenty-five years,
and the only chance of securing them was
through the Democratic party.
There was much enthusiasm over Craw-
ford's speech, and Pritchard told me
today that be had not found such en-
thusiasm anywhere in he district as he
sees in Rutherford.
Prtchard keeps ondudging and trying
to muddy the water SO as to prevent the
people fl ON seeing the Issues as they
really exist, but do not see how he can
keep it up. 1t looks as il he would
become nauseatcd at his own suhter-
tuges.
If Brown was out OF the way Craw-
ford would wear PritChard out more
thoroughly than he did Ewart. Brown
only consumes time and keeps Crawford
off of Pritchard. !. p. K.
