Lively souhae With sicilian Brigands

A strange encounter with brigands took
place the other day at Cammarata, near
Girgenti, in Sicily. The carbineers had
heard that twenty-eight mules. of the
value of l2000f., had been stolen on the
banks of the River Platani. Three car
bineers rode Immediately and overlook
the robbers, four in number On being
summoned to surrender the brigands re-
piled bv firing at the carbineers, and after
short struggle two of the robbers rode
off safe and sound, while the other two
were overcome by the carbineers and
firmly bound. One of them was shot
through the arm. OF the carbineers, one
was slightly injured by ball which had
grazed his head.
But the most curious thing was that
while the encounter was taking place the
train from Palermo passed close by See
ing what was going on the engine driver
slackened speed, and he, the conductor,
and the passengers fred shots from guns
and reviewers intoathe air to intimidate
the brigands. Other travellers waved
their handkerchief in honor of the car
bineers, and altogether the scene resem-
bled an incidenton the American prairies.

Many other neigh bors testified to the

TO an excise commissioner, who gave her
away because, as he said, she talked too
much through her hat and knew too
much besides.

MATTHEW Dawson, who has had charge
OF Lord Roseberry's Derby winner, Ladas.
since the son of Hampton began his rae
ing career, is one of the most prominent
hgures in the English world of sport. He
belongs to family which has long been
connected with the training OF race
hofseS, and the name of Dawson is re-
Spected throughout the British kingdom.
Matthew Dawson is now nearly so wears
otd. For some time he has been unable
70 10 walk any distance, and until the Two
thousand Gulneas was run, had never
seen the famous Ladas run in public. He
thlnks that he never recollects another
such sterling colt as Ladas, although he
mas trained some of the best that
ever ran in England.
CHANGING back through Mr.. Dawson's
career one must style him one of the most
successful trainers of the world. Like
LORD Roseberry, Matthew Dawson is a
Scotchman. His father, George Dawson.
Trained at Gullane, the Newmarket of
Scotland, and 1t was there that Matthew
and his three brothers, Thomas. Joseph
and John, picked up many points which
nave been of great value to them since
tney started life on their own account.
Matthew Dawson's father was the first

hrst important winner prepared by Daw-
son was Sir John Wanchopes Catherine
Hayes, the Oaks winner of 1853. He also
trained the Derby winner in 1860. Thor
mandy, for Mr.. Merry This horse was
specially prepared for the Derby, which
ne won cleverly, Custance being in the
saddle 1t was said that Mr. Merry won
about 9S5,OOO by Thormanby's victory.
Among other great horses trained by
lawson were Dundee. Blackstone. St.
simon, Lamokin and Minton. An English
sporting paper, speaking of Dawson, SAYS
"Old-tlme sportsmen still love TO dwell
on The wonderful success of the late ord

SUCH IS FAME.
A Story at Hon. Hoke Smiths Elk
pense Told in Atlanta.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Atlanta, Ca, June S.-A story is afoat
in this, the Cracker capital, concerning
one of its most distinguished citizens, to
wit: Col. Hoke Smith, Secretary of the
Interior. When he was here recently he
was one day in his office-that is to say,
the Office of the Atlanta Journal-and
John Parkes, one of the brightest bits of
green in the state, called him Col.
smith, or, perhaps, MIR. Smith," in
any event, John got in the name of Smith
on the old man.
by the way, John" suggested the
colonel, "do you know what they call me
in Washington
John confessed ignorance without turn
ing hair, for John is the kind Of a man
who thinks ignorance of Washington
ways is rather to mans credit than
otherwise.
Well explained the colonel "they
call me the Secretary of the Interior, and
never hear of myself as Smith, unless it
is from some Georgia man who knew me
in the past That's the way it is" and
he laid card on Johns desk labelled,
The Secretary of the Interior"
John looked it over with the eye of a
man who was just as liable to run blue
pencil through it as not, and smiled up at
his boss
That reminds me of an incident, colo
nell" he said. Yesterday | went up to
your old law Office to see your brother -
Ut may be explained here that Col. Hoke
Smith and Col. Burton Smith were law
partners before Hokes later glory
crowned him. "He was not in his office,
but there was a farmer there from the
country, about ten miles from town, and
l asked him who he wanted TO see. He
said Col. Smith ! said there were two
Colonies Smith and which one he did want.
He said Col. Burton Smith, and told
him just to wait and he'd be in pretty
soon. Then says he: BY the way, amt
Col. Hoke Smith been away some place
here latelyi Peers TO me l hain't seen
him round town for a long time, 4"
The colonel blushed.
81 was going TO tell him." resumed
John, " where you had been since the 4th
OF March, 1893, but thought he wouldn't
appreciate the information anyway, so [
merely said your engagements had called
you out of town rather more than usual
and let it go at that" Once more John
smiled up at his boss with a yearn in his
face for an answering smile, but he never
got it, and the colonel strobe out of the
office, kicking the cat up against the wall
with dull thud as he made his exit.
In the meantime John has requested
the police to arrest any joker found loiter-
ing in the parks, either before or after
nightfall.

FIVE ROUNDS OF HOT WORK.
Billy Jordan Knocks Out Joe Fernan
DEE by a Smash in the Jaw.

Mobile, Ala, June 1.-Two hundred
persons tonight witnessed the first pub
lie glove contest ever pulled off IN Mobile
or in the state of Alabama The princi-
pals were Joe Fernandez, light weight
champion of New Orleans, and Billy Jor-
dan of the same class, from ST. Louis.
The fight was a hummer from the call
OF time, the principals displaying un-
looked for science, and giving and taking
some pretty stiff punches The first four
rounds brought out some good work from
both men, Fernandez making Jordan's
head and wind his particular tar
get. Jordan played for Fernan-
dez's face, ana got in some
good blows. In the latter part of the
fourth Fernandez landed three times in
rapid succession on Jordan's stomach
and followed up with a neck rooster
Jordan came up for the fifth looking
groggy, but he made a terrific lunge at
ternande1's neck which fell short. Fer
nandez then caught Jordan in the
ribs, and before he could recover he gave
him a smashing upper cut on the left Jaw
bone that lifted him over a chair and
back into the side scenes of the Frascati
theater stage. He failed to rise, and was
counted out.
James Glass, the well-known wrestler,
acted as referee. The crowd was an en-
thusiaStic one.

named July II as the date when county

wanted a county convention wished it
stricken out The vote on it was a tie.

the question back to the people to say
whether they wanted primaries or con-
