CALCUTTA. Sept. 26, ls93.--Ths Cow
Question" which precipitated the recent
riots in Bombay, came near starting a
similar riot here yesterday. It was only
by the exercise Of great, good judg-
that serious trouble was averled.
The Hindoos have been wo rked
up 10 excited feelings on the subject OF
Killing cows by means OF indanlmatory
literature on the sui ject that has been
spread broadcast through the cpu ntry by
the leaders of the COW protection move

sacred, and that OF the cow particularly
SO, have been dseply oHe ended aC the ac'

Yesterday while scme Mohanmedans
were driving a COW TO be slaughtered an
excited crowd of Hindoos seized the
animal and refused to let it be driven to
slaughter. The crowd rapidly increased
IN number and the situation WAS becom
ing critical. when government official
came along aud made inquiries as to the
cause of the trouble. He was at once
surrounded by gestcuIating crowd OF
Hindoos and Mohammedans, every ons
of whom was ready en- the Instant for q
bloody fight. The official nnally
prevailed upen the crowd to
listen to him and then suggested
that the Hindoos should save the
life of the COW by buying II. This struck
the poor natives as a good idea. and the
price of the cow demanded by the
Mohammed ans was soon raised aud the
animal was led off in triumph by its new
owners.

Trouble to Her Spirit.

On Garfield avenue, barely a hundred
feet south of Pearsali avenue. lives pc
culiar old lady of the singular persuasion

name is Della 'Lannigan, and this house
is all she calls her own.

these Is half story garret surmounred

responsible position In the Barr-Dlnwid-
die bookbindery on New avenue
Miss LanniRa rents the house with
the proviso that she be allowed to occupy
TWO rooms on the top floor OF the h ouss.
This Is the cause of decidedly odd fence

any Intimacy with the objects Of her
wrath.

by all the nelghbors.
Mrs. Kuhndahl and Mrs Ewing
frequently exchanged gossip from their
back yards. The argus eyed Launigan

A BOLD SCHEME.
