Wilson, a watchman in the employ OF

rounds, he was hit upon the head by q

fired ut them both in succession, and be-

and are herded into a stockaded pen

The Arabs then open up negotiations
with the surrounding villages and ex-
change their captives for ivory. One
big tusk weighing sixty-five pounds
will grant the release of one slave. The
Arabs remain in such a camp till the
district is drained of its ivory. Then
the slaves who have not been purchased
are loaded down with ivory and the
merciless pillagers move along to new
hunting ground.

An Amusing story That Is Circulated

An anecdote has been travelling round
the circles of the Black Bay which has
created ripples Of merriment whenever
1t was told. II appears while Nine.
Patti was over here and was suffering
from the bereavement of her dear dog.
at the same hotel there sojourned Mrs.
Iyasagi and her little daughter, who
had just returned from q trip to CALI
fornia, and who were waiting for their
house TO be put In order. The great
diva was nervous and anxious, the loss
of her favorite having played havoc
with her nerves, and she thought that
the romping and merriment of the lit
tie girl In the next suite of rooms was
particularly trying on her sensitive
temperament.
Accordingly her maid presented her
self at Mrs. lyasagi's door, and, d,present-
ing madame's compliments, requested.

from being more lively than necessary.
Madame says" she added, "the death
of her dog is a very great sorrow to
her; she has not gotten over il yet, and
IL she gets too excited she could not
sing"
The message was received with all
the grace such neighborly messages are
usually received with, and was subse-
quently related 10 the young lady per-
sonally concerned in the matter. She
listened, pouted prettily and then said:
"oh, mammal will you send up and tell

cause my alligator is sick, and II he

MR.. WILSON AND THE MACHINE.

ClarkSburq NelCS-The report has
come from the Second Congressional
district that some Of the "small fry"
politicians in that end Of the State have
declared war upon Hon. VIM. L. Will
son, and have boldly avowed their pur-
pose of sending an anti-Wilson delega-
tiOn to the next Congressional conven-
tion. This opposition(?) seems to have
developed within the last few weeks,
and comes from the fact that while Mr..
Wilson has large amount OF influence
with the administration, he will not
permit a few machine politicians who
have not been in the Democratic house
hold sufficient length Of time to en-
able them 10 have bona fide residence
to dictate to him in the matter Of ap-
pointments. Mr.. Wilson is one OF the
few Of our public men who will not
Crook the pregnant hinges OF the knee
That thrift may follow fawning.'
and has thus incurred the wrath Of a
few demagogues who are in the party
for the Offices and the Offices only. But
the disDleasure Of these gentlemen will
amount to nothing so far as Mr.. Wilson
is concerned. IL will only serve to
make him stronger in his own district,
If that were possible, than before.
There is no man to-day in the Congress
of the United States who occupies a
higher position in the estimation of the
people than does Mr.. Wilson. As an
honest, true, genuine tariff reformer he
has few equals and no superiors in that
body. No man is nearer in
touch with the administration
than he. His reputation Is a
national one, and his place in
Congress could not be filled from the
Second district Hiss loss would prove
an irreparable one to the great cause OF
tariff reform. The country has further
need Of his services and will not lose
him. There may be a Hill-Murphy
machine in the Second district as there
is in New York. The one waged Bit
ter warfare against Mr.. Cleveland and
the cause of true tariff reform. The
fate OF that machine has been sealed.
The Second district machine had as
we'll take warning for its doom can be
foreseen without political telescope.

into play, and each digit was held and

A NEW YORK LAW
Causes Legal Complications at Buffalo.
IBjunctIons Served.


BUFFALO, N. Y, April 1.-THE City
Hall was under guard last night TO pre-
vent any attempt TO enter the Mayor
Office ann take action under the proVls-
ions of the bill passed by the Legisla-
ture last week, providing for the ap-
pointment of new police and excise COM
missioners. The injunction papers Sc
cured from Judge Green, Of the Supreme
Court were served on Mayor Bishop at
l o'clock this morning and on the comp
troller and President of the common
council shortly before o'clock. 1t was
feared that the two latter
officials might endeavor to steal march
on the opposition, and make the new
appointments before the order OF the
court could be served on them, but no
such attempt was made and action is
now postponed until the court decides
upon the points at issue. The order is
made returnable on April 25. 1t is ru-
mored this morning that Lieut.. Gov.
Sheehan may apply TO some judge of
the Supreme Court in the east
ern portion of the State and
have Justice Greens injunction set
aside. Mr.. Sheehan is still in town.
He came here Saturday night and yes
terday his apartments were crowded
with visitors. In a newspaper inter-
view Mr.. Sheehan denied that the police
and excise amendments were sneaked
through the legislature, nor were false
representations made with reference to
them. He assumed entire responsibility
for the passage of the bill. and stated
that it was upon his explanation Of the
provisions therein that Governor Flower
signed 1t.
Mr.. Sheehan denied that the purpose
of the bill was to cripple the Cleveland
element Of the Democracy. AS TO the
constitutionality Of the bill one OF the
points upon which the injunction was
obtained, Mr.. Sheehan said there was
absolutely nothing in that. Meetings
of the Merchants Exchange at noon to-
day and Of the Cleveland Democracy
this evening wers held to consider the
action OF the city representatives at AL
bany In the passage of this bill. The
Real Estate Exchange will hold meet
ing at noon tomorrow for the same pur-
pose.

TWO CONvICTS MURDERED.

The Blue Niger From Clyde Runs
Amuck in the Auburn Prison Broom
shop.
AUBURN, n. Y, April 17.-John john
son, known as the "Blue Niger From
Clyde" ran amuck in the broom shop
of Auburn prison this morning. he
was armed with sharp knife, used in
cutting broom corn, and first attacked
Charles Peck, fellow convict, from
WeStchester county. Leaving him dead
in his tracks, be next fatally stabbed
Brltton, convict, and wounded two
others before he was shot by a keeper
and rendered powerless.
The blade entered Britton's stomach
and he now lies in precarious condi-
ton in the hospital. 1t is thought he
will die. Johnson stabbed right and
left while he was at liberty, and several
other convicts suffered severe cuts.
The blade OF Johnson's knife was
broken off during the melee and can
not be found. He directed a vicious
blow at Keeper Mitchell after the blade
had been broken but it did not pene-
trate his clothing. The keeper drew

pull the trigger somebody hit his arm
and the ball went wide of its mark. 1t
frightened Johnson into surrendering,
however, and ne made no further resist
ance. Peck came to his death by a
wound In the breast which penetrated
the heart. The autopsy showed a cash
in the heart in which a finger could be
inserted. The cause of the trouble is
said to be an old grudge held by John
son against number of convicts in the
shops, aud he had made threat that as
soon as Capt. Baker had a day off he
would do up the shop. Baker was not
on duty to-day, and johnson started in
early to carry his threat into execution.
Daniel Bromon, another Of Johnson's
victims in this mornings stabbing af-
fray at the prison, died at 1870 o'clock.
He was an Oswego cOunterman and a
transfer from Eluira. Two others are
in the hospital, but their wounds are
not serious.

procedure is unusual; indeed, it is the

The required gold reserve in the

the one proposed by the defunct admin

poses to stop the drain, not by going
