to climax. The trustees waited
upon him in his study, and bemoaned
their wrongs. They paid fair salary,
and they expected the pastor to do
his part; but he had failed. Besides,
his wife should have been instructed
in her duty. She was generally dis
liked: IL the minister's wife was not
popular it was a very unpleasant
thing. Could he EXPLAIN
OF course the visit ended as they
expected; there WAS but one consum-
nation possible, and in q day or so
Farmingvale knew that their pastor
would soon leave the place forever.
The winter set in warm and moist,
instead of cold and bracing. Every
body declared that it was dreadful
unhealthful weather." At length
rumors of prevailing i'll health spread
over Farmingvale, and the minister
packing his books in his study, came
to hear of them. Whole families of
children sickened and lay low, and a
dread cry arose-"It is malignant
diphtheria.
One day Arthur Bartlett left his
home to perform the burial service
over the graves of two children OF
one family; and the next the father
called him to the bedside of his wife
to see her die. And with these deaths
the horrors of that time never to be
forgotten by any who dwelt there,
began In earnest.
Men, women, and children sickened
with the terrible disease. Horror
seized those yet unsmitten, and they
fed. Farmingvale became a great
lazaretto, and Arthur Bartlett said to
his young wife:

The Raven Caa,.

1t has been learned that the Cripple
Creek mine owners have determined
to send the Raven Mining company
injunction case to the court Of highest
resort at Washington. This is the
ease where Virginia corporation do
ing business at Cripple Creek applied
for an injunction to restrain strikers
from interfering with their property.
The case was originally lodged with
Judge Hallett, but that court decided
it had no jurisdiction. A supple
mentary bill was afterward filed in the
case, but this was thrown out.
Mr.. Bryant took the case to St
Paul, and on his return to Denver,
without having argued tue matter, it
was decided to drop the case. Now
however, alarmed at the threatening
aspect of affairs at Cripple Creek and
other mining districts throughout the
State, the mine owners have decided
to send their case for argument to
Washington, in order that they may
establish precedence for the Denver
court in the event that another crisis
arises like that of recent occurrence.

Mr.. Clevei.nd's Views.

President Cleveland in an interview
few days ago said Of the 6nan cial
situation:
"When the last government bonds
were issued to replenish our stock Of
gold it was nearly as low as now, while
outside Of our gold we had as available
money to pay ordinary expenses Of
the government only about 5000
0o0. We now have besides our gold
and in money applicable to govern
ment expenses more than $50, 600, 900.
understand that it is charged in GER
tain quarters that the payment Of ma
tured obligations is postponed to the
amount Of $50, 900, 900 or SIS, 900, 900.
This is not true. We are paying as
we go, in the usual way. Last year
up to June the balance against us
arising from the exports and imports
OF merchandise, excluding gold .nd
silver, was s64, 552, ,04O. The balance
in our favor for the same period this
year was s62, $40, 562, representing q
change in our favor Of 1927, ,512, 6Os.
These conditions taken in considers.
tion with the willingness Of our banks
to help the treasury during any tenn
porary and unusual drain Of gold ought
to satisfy the most conservative Of our
safety. 1t must not be forgotten as
another favorable feature in the situa-
tiop, that we are no longer purchasing
silver or issuing gold obligations there.

A terrible explosion occurred in the
Albion colliery at Cilfyndt, Wales, on
the 23rd that caused the death Of
about $50 miners 1t was at FIRST
thought that large number Of those
in the mine would escape but the next
day it became apparent that few OF
the 267 in the mine would escape, as
only seventeen had been rescued. A
large number Of bodies are buried be-
meath the earth falls, and it has been
found impossible as yet to e1tricate
them. Those not killed by the e1plo-
sion or crushed to death by the falling
earth and rock were undoubtedly as
phy1iated by the after damp.
Late Sunday evening the rcscuing
parties had succeeded in rescuing par
ties had succeeded in e1tricating 142
bodies.

An italian Assassinasss Him In tn,
Streets of Lyons.
President Carnot of France was as
sassinated on the evening of the Gath
by an Italian named Santo. The pres
ident was visiting Lyons in conncc-
tion with the international exhibition.
AT 9:25 p. m. President Carnot
started for the theater, where gala
performance was to be given because
of his presence in the city. When
half way down the street, which was
lined with enthusiastic crowds Of peo-
pie, who were loudly cheering, a man
sprang upon the step Of the presi-
dents landau. Before anyone could
interfere the assassin stabbed the
president with knife, and NJ. Carnot
fell backward in his seat. H. 'Rivaud,
prefect Of Lyons, who was seated by
President Carnot, Immediately struck
the assassin a full blow in the face
and knocked him from the step, thus
preventing him from again stabbing
the president, which it was his evil
dent intention to do.
Instantly cries of "Le president est
assassin" were heard on every side,
and the crowd In the vicinity Of the
carriage swelled to enormous proper
tions, every member of it seemingly
intent upon killing the assassin. He
was grasped by dozen hands, and his
life would have then and there paid
the forfeit Of his crime had it not
been for several sergeants de vile,
who seized him and attempted to
draw him away from his captors. After
hard fight, the police being rein
forced succeeded in getting the mur-
derer to Jail.
In the meantime the president had
been carried to the prefecture where
he was attended by physicians. A
careful examination was made Of the
wound, and the doctors declared the
condition Of NJ. Carnot was hopeless.
At half past twelve O'Clock NJ. Carnot
died after having received the sacra-
ment at the hands of the archbishop
He was conscious until the last and re-
allied that he was dying.
After NJ. Carnot had been taken to
the prefecture it became generally
known that his assassin was an Italian,
and the feeling Of deep indignation
among the crowd found vent in attacks
upon cafes kept by in offensive natives
Of Italy. All such places in the vicin-
ity Of the Palais de Commerce were to-
tally wrecked by the mob.
After the presidents death an ex-
animation was made which showed that
the dagger had entered the liver.
The murderer refused to make any
statement and no motive is known for
the crime. He is young man Of
%. Nine. Carnot and her daughters
started at once from Paris to Lyons.
News of the murder created big
sensation in Paris, where the president
was very popular. The Chamber Of
Deputies was called to meet on the
9th to elect new president. Just
what the ultimate effect of the removal
of President Carnot will be is hard to
| predict.

Adjutant General Tarsney was kid

minutes after midnight Saturday morn

suburbs in hack, and there tarred
and teathered-
General Tarsney had been in the
city for several days attending
the examination OF the arrested Bull
Hill miners. Tarsney, together with
Colonel b. F. Montgomery of Cripple
Creek, appeared as attorneys for the
miners.
At midnight, the general, having
just gone to his room, was called to
answer summons to the telephone
purporting to come from Cripple Greek.
While at tie telephone two masked
men entered and one of them ordered
Tarsney to go with them. He objected
and they hit him over the head with a
revolver The clerk was guarded by
another man while Tarsney was forced
out OF doors and put into hack. The
drivers Of the two hacks when they
saw the struggle in the hotel started
to drive away but were forced to re-
main by armed men. The party went
to the foot of Austin bluffs, nearly
three miles from town.
Here the party found a large num-
Der of men waiting for them. Gen
eral Tarsney was stripped of all his
clothing and coat of hot tar and
feathers applied to his body, even his
face and neck not escaping. During
all this time he had been abused and
cursed in unmeasured terms. After
helping the general to dress the men
ordered him to go north and never
show himself in FL Paso county again,
The men then disappeared. His con
dition was pitiable in the extreme.
As result of the severe handling to
which he had been subjected and the
driving Of the tar, he could make but
slow progress. Toward daylight, how
ever, be reached the hous. of Andrew
j. Malloy, n ranchman, who had been
deputy at Cripple Greek. Mr.. NAL
10y, after giving General Tarsney his
breakfast, hitchcd up aud drove him
TO Palmer Lake. Here the station
men cleaned the tar from his face. He
was taken to Denver on special train
in the afternoon.
The greatest apprehension had been
felt by his family and friends, as they
feared that he had been killed. In
dignation was expressed by all classes
Of people The Republican Redemp
tion League offered reward for the
apprehension of the criminals. Com
missioner Boyuton Of Ell Paso offered to
do all in his power to arrest them, and
messages of sympathy were received
from all sides General Tarsney, on
his return home, was well cared for
and on Sunday it appeared that the
results would not prove serious. He
said that he had no idea as to who the
men were that had so abused him.
Governor Waite was notified of the
outrage by reporter Of the Denver
Republican and expressed strong in
dignation. He said he would offer a
reward Of 81 900 out of his own pocket
for the arrest of the men who did it.
