SPORTS IN THE RAIN.
How the Hibernians at Maranocook
Amused Themselves.

LAKE MARANocooK, July 26.-Divis-
ion No. /, Ancient Order of Hibernians
of Bangor, held their annual excursion
and field day here today. They had as
invited guests members of the order in
the western part of the state. Big trains
from the east and west arrived at the
lake in the midst of heavy shower
which somewhat dampened the ardor of
the excursionists.
Three thousand were on the grounds
when the afternoon sports opened at 2
o'clock. First, there was four-oared
race between crews Nos. / and of the
Cumberland Rowing Association of
Portland. The course was mile and a
quarter with turn. The first crew was
composed of j. 7. Harrington. Mike
Harrington, Stephen Mccarthy and j. T.
Mccarthy. The second crew were T. Ell.
Mccarthy, J. FL. Clary, P. A. Foley and
w. S. Merrill. The two went away
together and maintained their positions
to the stake boat at the half, crew turn
ing fraction ahead, taking strong and
rapid stroke and coming home winners
by six lengths in 10 minutes. The nov
city race with lady captains, six crews
participating, was started next and was
won by T. Murray and Pat Toole. Miss
Malone. captain, of Bangor. I. McCar-
thy and F. Gould, Miss Mary Raglan, cap
tain, were very close second. The pro-
fessional running race. hundred yards

Pottery of the American Indiana.


The pottery of the North American
Indian is in some respects hke the dol
men pottery of Europe, although it DIFF
fers in many details Of form, mode of
manufacture and ornamentation. The
North American Indian used neither
wheel nor furnace, nor did he, except
rarely, decorate 1t with colors. The clay
was frequently mixed with powdered
shells. The decoration of pottery made
in the eastern portion of the United
States was effected by incised lines and
dots with various combinations. The
spiral and volute were employed.
Among the southern Indians much Of
the decoration was made by the inn
press OF textile fabrics, sometimes with
only string or cord. In the interior and
principally Co the Mississippi river the
pottery vessels were made to represent
sometimes the human face, sometimes
animals. There was e much greater
prevalence of the bottle form in the
United States than in Europe. The pre-
historic pottery of Mexico and Central
America forms q special group; that
from the pueblos of Arizona and New
Mexico another. while that made by the
North American Indian constitutes a
third group. Each Of these has dis
tinctive characteristics.-Great Divide.

Away back in the early sixties Mr..
Ferguson was defending man accused
Of beating his wife. The case was on
trial before justice Of the peace, prob
ably the same justice who decided that
stealing sack Of potatoes cut Of canoe
was ''piracy on the high seas" The ac-
cused was convicted, aud the justice
promptly sentenced him to be hanged.
'But you can't hsng man for beat
ing his wife," expostulated Ferguson.
1.-THE devil can't" said the justice,
bridling up. saint he guilty. Oughth't
any man to be hung who would beat a
woman and that woman his wifeP And

I haven't got the power to hang man,
who has, Ell? I'll hang him within an
hour; won't we, boys7" he concluded,
addressing the crowd standing around,
whose sympathies were evidently with
the woman.
"That we WILL" shouted the crowd.
Seeing that the case was beginning to
look serious for his client, Ferguson said:
s'Well, your honor, before the man is
hanged I'd like TO take him out behind
that big tree and pray with him."
"All right" said the Justice, and off
went the prisoner and Ferguson. When
they got behind the tree Ferguson said
in an undertone:

ARMED WITH RIFLES.
Negroes Working in the Mines in Kansas
and Trouble Imminent.

TOPEKA, July 25.-The situation at the
coal mines in Southeastern Kansas is
hourly becoming more serious. The
United States marsh al and his deputies
have served notices on all the strikers
not to trespass on mining property, but
the leaders urge their followers to ignore
the notices and look after men who are
trying to work in the mines. Populist
sheriffs have begged Governor Lewelling
to send arms, but he knows some Of the
strikers have been made deputy sheriffs
and refusessto arm them. Yesterday he
turned the command of the troops over
to Lieutenant Governor Daniels, who is
also major general of militia, and the
latter issued orders for the men to get
ready for service.
SlJust before daybreak yesterday morn
ing a train of six cars was backed into
the Enclosure around shaft No. s of the
Keith and Perry mine, near Scammon,
and 347 negroes from Alabama and Col
orado were unloaded inside the stockade.
These men had all been furnished with
fine rifles and spent the forenoon drilling
and learning how to defend themselves.
At o'clock they were all sent into the
mlue WlInOuL tue SCTlKerS KNOWING OIL lie
movement. Other negroes were sent to
the mines at Litchtield. Many miners
from Colorado are drifting into the strike
district, all being determined to get work
if possible and old their jobs when once
secured.
President Fl. H. Keith of the Central
Coal and Coke company said today: 1--WE
are masters of the situation, and the
strike of the miners in Southeastern Mis-
souri, is practically ended.'
The officials of the Kansas and Texas
Coal company are equally positive that
the backbone is broken, and are confident
the mines will be started up without
bloodshed or trouble of any kind. The
strikers, however, are becoming more
desperate as they see their old places
filled by men who propose to both work
and fight.
Word comes tonight that many more
men are on the road to take their places,
and it is believed the present quiet is but
the calm before the storm, in which dy-
Mantle and bombs will play an important
part.

Peary's Chances Good.

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.-The bark e.
o. Clark, Captain Chase, which left Ivig-
tut, Greenland, June 22d, has arrived
with a full cargo of cryolite. The adj
vent of the Clark was looked forward to
with considerable interest, as it was sup
posed that she would be able to give an
idea as to the chances of the Peary ex-
petition getting to winter quarters be-
fore the straits close up. Captain Chaid
said that they were four days battling
with the ice, and did not get clear until
June 26 To add to the difficulties, a
heavy gale sprang up and drove them
long way out of their course. The ice
lies mostly along the northeast shore.
Davis Strait was comparatively clear of
ice, and Captain Chase thought the
chances of the Falcon getting through
fairly gooi. When the Clark left moth
ing had been heard of the missing ex-
plorer, Voerhof. Scouting parties of
Esquimaux had been sent out from the
most northern stations, and the Danish
government had instructed it's represent.

BLOOD TO THE BRIDES.

New YORK, July 26.-The "blood- to-
the-bridles'' doctrine of Gov. Waite OF
Colorado, was given what threatened to
be practical Endorsement by friends of
free silver coinage in this city at meet
ing in the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night.
A more incorporate, disorderly, noisy
and gene rally undignified scene was new

called each other vile names, issued
challenges to one ano ther to come out

that they would not be bulldozed. The
noise sounded through the whole ho-
tel
Two hundred men were engaged in or
were spectators of the row at one time,
and the uproar was such that people on
the streets were drawn to the hotel in
crowds. At last the meeting broke up
in disorder without having transacted
the business for which it was called. Ev-
en- then the noisy friends of free silver
continued to struggle about the table in
the centre of the parlor, where the meet
ing had been held. until Proprietor Villas
turned out the lights and ordered the
party to leave the room, and the officer
OF the house, Connegan, with one or two
porters, appeared on the scene to pre-

WASHINGTON, July ga rglmor
reached Washington last night that the
arbitrator in the Benring Sea contro-
versy between the United States and
Great Britain, who have been in session
at Paris since March, listening to argu-
ments in the case, had decided in favor
of the United States. No confirmation
or denial of the report could be had here,

killed His wife and Fired the House.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, July 26.-At o'clock
this morning, the fire department extin-
guished slight fire in the house of John
Smouse, on Oak alley, south side. The
firemen discovered in the house the dead
bodies of Mrs. Smouse and her two little
children, aged four and two. Mrs.
Smouse's head was terribly gashed. and
the children had the appearance of be-
ing smothered. SIN 5use, the husband,
was paced under arrest. He declared
that he had no knowledge of how the
tragedy and fire occurred, but his little
child who escaped the massacre, told the
police that his father had killed his
mother with Ratchet. The neighbors
think jealousy was the cause OF the muir
der.

VIRGINIA VS.. TENNESSEE.
An Important Case Now on Trial in the
United States Supreme Court.

The case of the State Of Virginia
against the State Of Tennessee had
a hearing in the United States Su-
preme Court Tuesday of last week.
This suit is very important one
to the State of Tennessee, and the
decision is looked forward to with
great interest.
The bill in this case was filed by
the State of Virginia under article
IL of the Constitution of the Unit
ed States, giving original jurisdic-
ton where a State is a party. The
bill seeks to settlea disputed bound
airy between Virginia and Tonnes
see. This disputed strip of land is
l08 miles long and from two to eight
miles wide, and runs from White
Top Mountain, where North Caro-
lima, Virginiaand Tennessee corner
to Cumberland Gap, whereVirginia
Kentucky and Tennessee corner.
The disputed section Of territory
cuts off portions Of Hawkins, Han.
cock, Sullivan and Claiborne coun.
ties, and includes the towns of Nil
Point, Bristol and Bloomingdale il
Sullivan County, and Cumberland
Gap, in Claiborne County.
The line, as it now stands, sepa
rating Virginia from Tennessee
was in the grant Of Charles III, kins
Of England, made to Edward, ear
of Clarendon, May 30, 1865.
