Little Maud, the SIX year old dauGh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Greene,
living on Seventh street, narrowly es-
capped death from . COW Tuesday cy-
eninG. When tie herd Was driven in
the chilI was cut a play, and some
times She picks out neighbours COW
ana drives it home. no one saw the
affair, but either one OF the COWS was
cross, OF else the child got too near its
head and when She threw Ter head
about to drive flies the child was
caught by the horn, but in some way
the horn caught the little one near
tile arm pit tore her clothing and
scratched the skin Of the arm from The
shoulder nearly to the elbow. Of
course the Child screamed, and as the
COW passed on and Iela her, il would
seem to be a case more Of accident
than Yiciousness.

AT the West end a few days ago
an Old man named OBrien loaned his
pocket knife to a Mr.. Brown or a MI
Lynch, or both Of them, and for some
reason one or the other or both togeth-
CT declined to return the knife to the
Oh man. Arrest followed and Judge
liutchins held both men guilty of
something and sent them UP for thirty
days each. Had the Judge made the
men return the knife and then at once
take heel and toe promenade out of
town he would have shown some Wis
dom, but to make the city some thirty
dollars expense for nothing, almost, is
q little tough on the natives.

HONORED ANCESTOR.
4 Direct Descendent of Columbus
Soon to be Our Guest.

New York, April 1.-THE Duke de
Veragua is expected on the American
liner New York today or tomorrow
He will be the guest of the country,
and the state department has already
deputed a special representative to
tender him all the courtesies the visit
warrants.
He is the only living direct descend
ent of Columbus, through the grand
daughter, Isabella of Cordova. The
latter was the child of the famous
son of Columbus, Diego Colon. The
dukes name is Christobel Colon de Ia
Cerda, Duke de Veragua, Marquis de
Ia Jamaica grand admiral of the In
dies. He is one of the few grandees
of Spain, and bears the title grand
admiral by reason of his descent from
Columbus. He has held few offices of
note, and, although admiral, has never
been at sea. For time he was min
lister of public works, and is now presi-
dent of the Spanish Cattle commission.
His palace in Madrid is a fine old
fashioned structure, said to be worth
$500. 900. He is Knight of the Grand
Cross of Charles III, of Spain, an honor
which few Spaniards can lay claim to.

HILL HANGED FOR MURDER.
The Killing Of Derrickson at Camden
N. j., Is Avenged.

Ah0 pI DerElchSOn 81 CamueH,
N. j., Is Avenged.
CAMDEN, N. j., April Il John Hill
(colored), 10 years of age, was hanged
here this morning for the murder of
Marwood Derrickson (also colored), as
a result Of a political quarrel. The
drop fell at 1924.
The negroes were frequenters of a
saloon run by Albert Reed and Mar
wood Derrickson, both colored. Hill
secretly took a revolver from the till
and went out. He hid behind tent
and when Derrickson passed shot him
down.
The murderer then returned the re-
volver and told what he had done. He
was captured the same afternoon and
made a conf ession'in which he declared
that Reed and Dodson had hired him
to commit the deed for compensa
ton of So. so and promised to get him
off should he be arrested.
Reed and Dodson were arrested as
accomplices. Hill was convicted and
sentenced, and recently, when all hope
of reprieve had vanished, told the
Rev. James FL. Scott he alone was re-
sponsible for Derrickson's death and
Chat his story duplicating the saloon
keepers was false. They had prev
iously been acquitted.

AllOting Lands to the Indians.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, April IA
Miss Helen P. Clark, the alloting agent
for the Pawnees, Otoes and Poncas,
came in yesterday from her official
camp in the Pawnee reservation. She
says she expects to have her work com
pleted with the Pawnees by June L.
A large number of the Otoes and Pom
cas- have taken their lands in allot-
ment, but she is of the opinion that
the Cherokee commission will not sue
coed in purchasing their surplus lands.
This, she thinks, is especially true in
relation to the Poncas, as Standing
Buffalo and his followers, about two
hundred in number, are unaltera bly,
opposed to selling.

Big Oil Works in a RIaze.

BUFFALO, N. Y, April 14.-The A. s.
Holmes refinery, covering twelve acres
OF ground on Seneca Street, was de-
stroyed by fire, together with twenty
freight cars and train of oil cars
side tracked near the works. Thirty
thousand barrels of oil stored in the
works were also burned. The fire was
started by an engine dropping Goals
in some oil which was running on top
of the water in a little ditch. The
wind blew the flames INTO the works
and an explosion followed. Every few
minutes heavy explosions occurred
when ammonia drums and gasoline
tanks blew up. Thomas Tracy was
struck by flying piece of metal and
badly injured. Three firemen were
slightly injured by one of the explo-

TWENTY-FIVE HOUSES WRECKED.
Mrs. Jacob Hiser Killed and Her Hus-
band Fatally Hurt at Rea, Mich.

DUNDEE, Mich, April ia terrible
cyclone passed over this town and vicin-
ity last evening at 7:45, doing much
damage. Four miles west of here it
struck the village of Rea, in this Mon
roe) county, took the top off the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and un-
rooted over a dozen houses. 1t struck

thorities, with the view Of bringing the
offenders to justice. The attorney for
Mrs. Pomeroy, in his anxiety to defend
his client from anticipated criminal
prosecution. stated that the congress
man had visited Mr.. Lyon, Of the firm
Of Lyon d Healy, in Mrs. Kings inter-
est. This statement, like nearly every
thing that enanated from him relative
to Mrs. King and the congressman, is
false; indeed, Mr.. Lyon is not connected
with the firm in any capacity whatso-
ever, and neither one Of the firm ever
saw the congressman.

New York, April 14-R. G. Dun g.
Cos report Of the last weeks trade says
the ruling fact in the business situation
is the outgo of gold, $3,5OO,OO0 Tues
day, S1,OOO,OOO and possibly more to-
day with u prospect of even more
Tuesday next. The treasury gold was
again reduced below $2,OOO,OOO in ex-
cess OF the bullion fund. and there is
more Of bond issues, with the old doubt
whether these would meet the real
difficulty, which is the enormous eX-
cess Of imports over the exports of
goods.
Pig iron is steady though bessemer
is rather weaker, rails are stagnant,
and the bar offered by western mills
is below the cost of production at the
cast. Plates are a little stronger and
structural demand very large, but the
prices are extremely low.
Copper is also a shade lower; tin
declined a little but recovered, and
lead is stronger. Coal has a stronger
look, though the output for the year
is nearly 100000 tons greater than last
year.
Movement of wool small. Trade in
cotton goods rather disappointing in
April thus far, with some shirtings re
duced and print cloths dull. Boot and
shoe trade unsettled.
In wheat Chicago corner has forced
May above 90 cents, while II cents
would buy at New York and receipts at
western ports are nearly 100000 bush
els in four days. Prices advanced only
IL cent while corn declined IL and
oats advanced 1 cent. Pork products
are q shade stronger and Oil also, but
once Is weaker. At Chicago east-bound
shipments decline with opening of navi-
cation and receipts of wheat, cured
meats and sheep are very large with
heavy decrease in wool, rye, barley
lard, flour and sheep.
At st. Louis free collections in all
lines are noted. At Kansas City trade
is good with large receipts Of cattle,
while at Sioux City business is larger
in packing, drygoods and groceries.
Business failures in the last seven
days were 200, compared with 223 last
week, and corresponding week last year
of 226.
The clearings Of the principal cities
for the week were $1,21O,91O, 1872.

Believed to Have Sacrificed Servant
Girl in Religious Customs.
PRAGUE, April lin the town of
Kolin or Neukolin the body of serv-
ant girl was recently found in the
Elbc and the impression spread that
the girl had been murdered by the
Jews III accordance with their supposed
religious customs, and that after the
remains had been used in supposed
secret rites, the body had been thrown
into the river. A multitude of the
more ignorant populace believed the
story. They gathered in force and
wrecked the Jewish Synagogue, and
attacked and wrecked the shops and
residences of the Jews. The mob were
in complete control and resisted the
soldiers who We're summoned. Many
Of the moi We're badly wounded before

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April IA
special from Eufaula says that jeff d.
Barnett, a young white storekeeper
near the line of Quinlan and Clay coun-
ties in Georgia, was found dying in a
pool of blood in his store. "A posse of
whites and blacks was organized and
after six-mile chase captured the

crime. He fired several shots at the
posse before being captured. The
posse tied him and shot him to death,
