About 100 Ital- ians employed on paving and sewer con tracts were set upon by mob of 400 or 800 men and driven from their work.

Wood was heard as regards his claim for $500 damages by the extension of Meadow street. The case will probably go to three commissioners. It was voted to notify George Andrews to repair the walk in front of Silvernails, and other parties on the west side of Church street, south of there, to build a walk according to grade given, within sivty days of date of notice. The residents of Church street, north and east of the Darlington place, aud also those on the west side of Main street, from Mulville's north to above the bus barn, will also receive notice to build sidewalk. A delegation of residents owning land fronting on Main street, north of cemetery, made a remonstrance against the layout of the tramway.

 The reason why made this great pur- chase is because think flour will not be any lower, at this season of the year. the price of mill feeds drops, which must be offset by higher -four or lower wheat and it seems impossible to have wheat any lower. andit gives the new flour chance to become seasoned before can get rid of the old, which consists of the following brands.

DOCTORS THE RICH.

Allan McLane Hamilton Is New York. S
Most Aristocratic Physician.
New York's most aristocratic and in some
respects most exclusive physician is Allan
McLane Hamilton, who was surgeon to Presi-
dent Garfield after he was stricken by
Guiteau's bullet, and who knows more, per-
haps, of the physical ills of New York's fash
ionable set than any other man.
OF course, there is some reason for this. In
the first place DR.. Hamilton is a descendant
of Alexander. In the second he has few equals
and, perhaps, no superiors as a surgeon and
physician. 1t is said that his income is go 900
a year, but there is really no way of gauging
this matter.
Dr. Hamilton is tall. dark of complexion,
and dignified in carriage. In manner he is
quick, sharp, and business-like, and his man
ner Is as brusque with rich patient as with
any other. He is man OF science when in
his office and social lines are not recognized.
Rather an 0verworked man is the doctor in
these days. Like most other physicians Of
his standing, he lectures before colleges now
and then, and he is a contributor to medical
journals.
DIR. Hamilton lives in good style, as he can
well afford to. Coming of the stock he does,
he is part of the old conservative society of
New York, but be has little taste for society
and little time to indulge it if be had He is
naturally conservative. and enjoys his studies
and researches more than any mixing with
the outside world.

The Police Inspector Will Have to Appear
Before the Investigating Committe.
NEW YORK, July 21.-The best known po-
lice official in New York city. except superin-
tendent Byrnes, is Inspector Alexander Will
iams. He is as Ane specimen Of vigorous
manhood as you are apt to ind in day.
walk. He is as full Of fight as fox terrier
and as brave as gunner in battle.
When the senate investigating committee
meets in the fall Williams will be called be-
fore that body and hauled over the red hot
Goals for the purpose Of finding out whero he
got all his money and. incidentally, great
deal will be asked him about police corrup-
ton. Williams friends say that he will make
good witness. Certainly his personal bear
ing and general physique never failed to i'm
press the beholder. His shoulders are broad,
his chest wide and ample, and, though OF
late years he has grown somewhat stout, 1t
has not detracted from his almost military
appearance. He is rather handsome still, on
the whole. even il his hair Is whitening
rapidly and his mustache becoming streaked
with gray.
Personally the inspector Is of frank, cheer
full disposition, which has gained for him
many friends. He has a remarkable stock of
"reminiscences. and when he cares to tell them
holds his hearers spellbound. At fire he di-
rects his men in person, and has good word
for every one, down to the patrolmen on duty.
One OF the inspectors distinguishing marks
is his cigar, which Is always in his mouth,
and which bids fair to become famed in local
annals. As a matter OF fact, he is not the
heavy smoker he is often thought to be, as he
is as fond of a dry smoke as any other.

LONDON, July 15.-sibyl sanderson, who

and more or less the vogue in London, will
go to America to appear in grand opera next

She is an American girl, whose father is ex-

who taught her to sing. she owes much, As
he stood by her and fought her battles for her

Covent Garden here. Much was expected of
her. but she failed to satisfy even In the
slightest degree.
She was as nervous as q witch. Her form
shook, her voice trembled, and at times 1t was
really pitiful to behold her. The curtain fell
none too soon, and when it had gone down
every lover of music and the newspaper
critics were very much pleased. The next
day the newspapers told the truth about the
fiasco, and for time Miss Sanderson was un-
able to appear.
All this nervousness, I understand, has been
overcome. She will 20 to America in splen-

must not be expected that she will outshino

Col. Conger Tells What Persuasion VIII
CHICAGO, July 21.-"Talk about close
Places" said Col. A. L. Conger, ex-member
of the Republican national committee from
Ohio, II was in desperate position once and
was saved by an empty gun and big bluff. +"
The colonel was smoking cigar, surrounded
by group of friends, and was in reminis-
cent mood. He was encouraged to relate the
story.
'It happened in Ohio several years ago. ="
he began, when there was law in force to
the effect that legal executions should not
take place in public. In order to carry out
the law stockades had to be built around the
scaffolds. and in many instances the people
tore down the visual obstruction and wit
messed the hanging in spite of the law. There
was going to be hanging in one of the rural
districts. and l. as colonel of the militia, was
ordered by the Governor to take my regiment
to the scene and protect the stockade
We arrived on the morning OF the day OF
the execution and found the sheriff and his
assistants building nigh stockade or 1nclos-
ure around the gallows in front of the jail.
il crowd OF some 5000 people had gathered
in the town and threatened to prevent the
erection of an inclosure. stationed my men
around the Jail and at convenient points on
the inside of the stockade. We had twelve
rounds of ammunition. but not single mus
ket was loaded. As the stockade neared COM
pletion the thousands who came to see the
execution stood in front OF the Jail. Some
one yelled for a rope and soon one was pro-
duced. A moose was made and ii was thrown
over stockade picket and the latter was
jeIked of by the crowd. That emboldened
them and they came up, put the rope around
ten or fifteen pickets and paiings and
started to pull. took out a large pocket
knife and cut the rope. A yell OF rage and
derision greeted my act. In two minutes q
longer rope was slipped around tie pickets.
stepped up to cut 1t again and when l reached
the stockade the gleam Of highly poised Six
shooter dazzled my eyes
.''Iou cut that rope. mister, and I'll blow
your brains outi' said voice.
The man holding the pistol near my head
was villainouS looking customer. with to-
bacco juice running down the sides of his
mouth. He had "A fierce look in his eyes, and

'''Prlvate. level your musket at this man
and blow his brains out if he attempts to
shoot me-
That private never hesitated, but in
stantly pointed his cooked musket at the
fellow. Quick as flash cut the rope, and
the man with the pistol never fired. The
thousands in front saw it all, and they never
tried to obstruct the erection of the stockade
any more. But took high chances on that
