Because a Tooth Filling Dropped Out.
PATERSON. N. j., May IA kiss i'm
printed on his sweetheart's lips has in
volved Henry Ives, a Bergen county
farmer, in a suit. Several months ago
Ives met and wooed Miss Annie Rafferty,
a comely young woman living in Man
chester township. His wooing soon
ripened into betrothal. Miss Rafferty,
had told him during their tryst that
she would permit none but her future
husband to give her lovers kiss, and
her coyness won Henry's heart. When
about TO go away one evening several
weeks ago Mr.. Ives gave his sweet
heart long parting kiss, during which
the gold filling in Miss Rafferty's teeth
came out. She told him of her mishap,
thinking he would compensate her for
her loss. He did not, however, and
now Miss Rafferty, has retained counsel
and has brought suit against Ives. She
had her teeth rehlled and has furnished
her lawyer with bill of the expenses.
The young woman's suit has frightened
the farmer and the engagement is off.

Louisville Paper Calls on Kentuckians
to Repudiate Breckinridge.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May l2.--The Cour-
Ter Journal, which has heretofore main
tanned a position of strict neutrality
regarding the case of Congressman w.
c. P. Breckenridge since the beginning
of the Pollard scandal, breaks silence
in an editorial declaring that Breckin-
ridge should be beaten for renomina-
ton. The paper says;
"The situation in the Ashland dis
trict, unfortunate as tits unprecedented,
makes it imperative that every journal
which has the good of the party at
heart, which cherishes the honor of its
state and which appreciates it's obliga-
tions to society, shall protest with all
its power against the reelection OF
Colonel w. g. p. Breckinridge. We do
not underrate what he has done for his
party and the cause of tariff reform in
the past. But even if his ability for
future usefulness were not destroyed
by the miserable scandal which has
darkened his name, the party could
not afford to accept his services at the
price it would be forced to pay. 1t is
idle to attempt to obscuse the issue
with sophistical distinction between
Disadvantages public and private life.
The case has gone far beyond the
possibility of that. The question
simply is, do the people of Kentucky
propose to send as representative to
congress the man whom Colonel Brock.
inridge confessed himself to be in his
testimony before a Washington jury
1t is question which transcends the
limits of the Ashland district and OF
Kentucky itself. 1t is a question in
which the people of the entire nation
are deeply interested. That part OF
his speech devoted to the scandal in
which he has figured were better passed
over in pity. 1t is strange exhibition
of marvellous effrontery, wretched taste
and mentally and morally oblique
csusistry.'

Buck Tong Kills Lee Sing on a
Pacific Steamer.
A HIGHLANDER MURDERER
Brother of the Victim swears to Have
the Assassin's Blood-Prisoner to
BE Taken to San Francisco.

News comes from Yokohoma that the
recent murder on the steamer City of
Picking by Chinese was a highlander
assassination for revenge. Buck Tong,
the murderer, was found two days after
the vessel sailed from San Francisco in
the ladies' cabin. He was ordered out
by the cabin boy, but refused to 60 and
stabbed the lad. He also slashed the
chief engineer, but not seriously. Then
he ran forward, and in passing Lee
Sing, Chinese passenger, he lunged
his knife like sword, cutting through
windpipe and jugular and nearly sever
Chinese fell to the deck, blood squirting
from his wounds, and was dead in a few
minutes. The murderer was caught and
ironed.
AT first it was supposed that he had
been crazed by opium smoking, but wit
nesses said that he shouted when he
stabbed Lee, snow / have got you"
Buck also admitted that Lee had swim
died him out of So, 900 in San Francisco.
The authorities at Yokohoma believe
Buck was put on board at San Francisco
by highlander society to kill Lee. He
is very tough looking coolie and when
the steamer reached Yokohoma he
showed his ferocity.
The American consul general and OFF,
GERS of the steamer went on board the
Peking to take Bucks testimony He
was handcutfed and in a cabin. When
the party entered he suddenly sprang
like wild beast on the chief officer and
hit him on the head with a sharp piece
of an earthen vessel that he had broken
for this purpose. Then he tried TO bat
ter out his own brains, but did not sue
ceed The chief officer was badly hurt.
Members Of the ships crew don't think
Buck is insane, as he was quiet before
he committed the second crime. He
will be returned TO San Francisco or
the steamer Peking, but the officers
fear that he will never reach there
alive, as brother of Lee is on board
and has sworn TO have his blood

CAR OF sENzlNe EXPLODED.
Hundreds OF People Injured in the Mad
Rush Which Followed.

rel house of Emery's refinery in this
city took fire this evening. presumably
by spontaneous combustion, and was
destroyed. Loading racks and FIVE tank
cars were consumed. While the fire.
men were making their fight and thous-
ands OF people watching there was
tremendous explosion. A tank car
containing 400 gallons of benzine had
let go with mighty -oar. Fortunate
ly the burning benzine was thrown
into the air in sheets of liquid fire and
consumed itself before settling over
the crowd. The explosion was followed
by panic that can not be described
in words. The blind, unreasoning,
pitiless instinct of self preservation
showed itself and the weak went down
before the strong in a multitude of
cases in frantic rush TO escape what
seemed to be horrible death. In the
stampede, men as well as women and
children, were thrown down and trod-
den by the flying masses that snrged up
from behind. Thirty-fve of the fire
men were burned, the skin peeled off
their faces and hands and the hair
singed off their heads. The total num-
Der of those burned and injured in the
stampede will probably reach 100 per-
sons. The property loss will not ex-
coed SIS, 900.
The crowd of sightseers was within
100 feet of the tank when it exploded,
but most of the fremen were massed
within half that distance. Mat Behau,
re6ner with oil soaked clothing, was
standing close beside the car when the
Dig tank let go. The conclusion stun
ned him as if he had been struck with
a sledge hammer, in moment he was
ablaze from head to foot. He coolly
rolled in the gravel until the fire was
put ont. Several others sustained
serious injury.

Many Victims of Fraudulent Concerns
COMPLAIN to Postal Authorities.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 12.-Almost
every mail brings a score of letters ad-
dressed TO the public officials by victims
of swinoling lottery concerns, each of
which has been doing an extensive busl-
ness across the state line, under pre-
tense OF being the successor TO the ex-
patriated Louisiana lottery. The letters
come fIom all sections of the United
States and Canada and the victims all
tell the same story of how they have
been duped through answering nicely
worded circulars of winning fortunes
by the turn of the wheel. The principal
concerns mentioned in the complaints
are; The Louisiana Lottery Company of
New Orleans and Kansas City, and the
e. Fox & Co., also claiming to be
Louisiana lottery. Their business is
carried on through the express COM
panies, and the winnings, the complain
ing writers say, they are unable to get,
though they had long ago paid for their
tickets.

IDAHO REPUBLICANS
The Convention at Boise Asked to
Nominate a Senator.
MCCONNELL OPPOSED IT
Close Contest in the State Central Com
mittee Meeting-Matters Pertaining
to Apporttonment.

BOISE, May 12.-The republican state,
central committee met today The
northern counties were all represented
by proxy, except Kootenai, which was
not represented at all. This state con-
vention was called to meet in Boise on
the sth of August. In the matter of
apportionment, it being impossible to de-
termine what the republican vote of
the Mormon counties is, the represen-
tation was based upon the total voting
population. Each county was given
two delegates at large and one for
each 200 voters The following is the
appointment: Ada 9, Alturne 8, Bear
Lake 8, Bannock IL, Bingham s, Boise
z, Canyon 8, Cassia 6, Custer 5, Gilmore
5, Fremont g. Idaho s, Latah 16, Lemhi
5, Logan 6, Kootenai 8, Nez Perez 7,
Oneida 9, Owyhee 5, Shohone IL, Wash
ington 9. Total, 1877. The event of
the meeting was the reading by Chair
man Wilson of the following dispatch:
WASHINGTON, May Ito Edgar Will
son or members of the state committee:
There is strong sentiment in Idaho
for the election of United States sena-
tors by direct vote of the people. We
are in full accord with that sentiment.
Many years must necessarily pass be-
fore the constitution can be changed to
meet this demand. The same result
can be practically reached by naming
United States senator by the state con-
vention. Many most excellent reasons
exist for naming a senator by the state
committee. They will readily occur to
YOUR convention. There can be no
sound argument based on pure and
worthy motires against it, and to this
end we suggest a call for state con-
vention, TO be formed in accordance
with this plan and that ample time be
given the question to reach and be con-
sidered by each county, before county
conventions are held; also that each
county convention be requested to act
upon this basis. We earnestly join in
the request that the state committee
commend this to the party and ask the
state convention to so name.
GEORGE L. SHoUP,
WILLIS SWEET,
FRED i. DUBOIS.
In line with this recommendation the
committee on resolutions submitted the
folio wing to the full committee, it hav-
ing been adopted by vote of 3 to 2:
Resolved, that this committee recon-
mends that the state convention desig-
nate by nomination the choice of the
party of the state for United States SEN
ator, and the various county committees
of the state are hereby requested to
embrace this proposition in the call for
their respective county conventions.
The matter gave rise to lively discus
sion. The proposition, which had been
talked of before the meeting, was Wig
orously opposed by Governor McCon-
Il was finally adopted by vote of 10 to
Q. Fremont, Bear Lake and Oneida
counties (Mormon) all opposed the res
olution earnestly, in measure showing
McConnelrs strength there.
The executive committee of the state
republican league also met and elected
fourteen delegates to the league con-
vention in Denver in June.
