The first intimation of tho affair was brought to Nouema by the labor vessel Lady Staubyn, which had fallen into company with another vessel that had natives on board who were aware of the cir cumstances. The plan adopted by Chief Malyata was to decoy the ves- sel to a certain place on the coast on the promise of supplying number of recruits This was done and af- forwards he ostensibly showed his good faith by putting on board 8 number of natives. On the arrival of the vessel at the rendezvous she was surrounded by armed canoes and the crew quickly dispatcht d by the combined forces of the natives aAoat and those already taken aboard.

He Attempts to poison an Entire Family
 With Paris Green.
 NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., August 5.-There is bad young negro in the Middlesex county jail here by the name of Aaron Sampson. He is r years old, and was employed by Mrs. Mary Hoffman, of James burg, this county, for the past twelve years. He came near causing the death of the whole family few days ago by putting paris green in the well. His act was discovered in time, a COW having died soon after drinking the water.
 There is long list of similar acts charged against him. The first is that he poisoned a horse, cut a COW so she cannot live, and injured a mare by driving g sharp stick into her body. When seen at the jail by a reporter the only excuse be had was the horse kicked him, and he wanted to get even. The COW, he said, had kicked over five pails of milk. When Mrs. Hoffman rebuked the young man for his conduct he determined to poison the whole family. He ad- mitted to reporter that he put the poison in the well. He added he tried to poison the whole family be- cause he had been ill-treated.

It is Said Senator Hin win Introduce a
 Free Coinage Bill.
 ALBANY, N. Y., August 5.-A special says: Although Senator Hill declines to talk about silver his friends say his thoughts are concen- trated upon the subject, and he is at work upon a free coinage bill to be introduced at.the coming session, a,d, of course, upon speech to sup port it. It is understood the measure will aim to establishiree bi-metallic coinage as it existed prior to 1873, and instead of the present ratio of 16 to l the senator will advocate ratio of Is 1-2 to I. This will permit any one possessing 3O1 3-4 grains of sil- yer to take it to the United States and receive in return one silver dol lar. The speeches delivered by Sen ator Hill at Elmvra December 4, 1891, and at the Kenmore ban quet December 31, 1891, justify the belief that he will advocate the restoration of free bi metallic coin age, and that he is preparing to do so is indicated by the fact that he has kept at. work all through the summer as we'll as by the state ments of friends.

 NEW YORK, August 5.-All are reported well on board the Kara mania this morning. Dr. Talmadge made an inspection at 9 o'clock, and when he came ashore he said there was no sickness on board and no in dications of cholera among the pas sengers or crew. Health Officer Jenkins listened to the report and said it vas just what he expected, yet he would go on with all the pre-. cautions and measures he hae laid out. The steamer will be detained and the passengers get good bath and scruobing down while their clothing and luggage are being disinfected. The relations between the state and federal authorities are very harmo- nious at present, and Surgeon. Gen eral Wyman has offered to do all he can to assist the officers at this port, instead of clasping his authority, which occurred last year during the cholera scare. There will be two well equipped boards working to- gether for one object, that of shut ting out the plague from this country.

How an Old Phrase Originated.

The phrase "That beats bobtail," is
not uncommon even now in many parts
of the country, especially in the south.
Its origin is traceable to race which
occurred about 1910 or shortly before
that year on the famous Fairfield track
on the Mechanicsville turnpike, near
Richmond. In those days Bob Poin,
dexter lived in Richmond. He was a
sporting man, wore fine clothes and
owned number of horses. Among his
animals was one he named Pizarro, a
plain bay gelding, with black name and
tail, the latter bobbed short.
There was nothing extraordinary about
the horse, and nobody looked upon him
as racer. But Poindexter took no.
ton that he could 3:un. He used to
drive Pizarro about Richmond hitched
to buggy. On the day that he was adj
vertised to appear on the track great
crowd was present and excitement ran
high, for a good deal of money had been
put on the other horses. To the aston.
ishment of everybody Pizarro beat every
horse on the track, and the people went
fairly wild.
Bobtailed Pizarro never made much
of record. He won two or three races
and then went to pieces. For years
afterward, when anything extraordinary
happened in that section it was said Of
it, 'sThat beats bobtail." p Baltimore
