A QUEER HIDING PLACE FOR A COIN

There is horse up in the First Ward
which seems to be a sort of silver mine. A
son of its owner with the aid of a penknife,
removed dime from under its hide on Fri
day The horse belongs to Edmund Stivers
Mr. Stivers bought it about two years ago
from party near Long Bottom. A week or
two ago small lump appeared on the
horses shoulder and grew more pronounced
from day to day. Finally it became so dis
tinct that it could be pinched up under the
hide. On Friday Wall Stivers concluded to
see what it was, and sliced open the hide
with his penknife, when out rolled silver
dime. When the blood was wiped from it,
it was as bright as the day it came from the
mint. 1t was coined in 1876. There was
no scar or other indication that the dime
had been inserted through the hide.-Ponl-

TWO STAR BoARDERs.
Mr. Koch Preferred Them TO Her
Hmsbamd-Suitf for DlYoree.


Sheriff Toffey has served papers in the
suit for divorce that has been brought by
Edward j. Koch, of Bayonne against his
wife, Ida Koch. The couple were married
on January IL, 1887, and lived happily to-
gether until the young wife with her hus-
bands consent, began to take boarders.
During the month of April of the present
year, Mrs Koch had two star boarders. She
was young and pretty and they admired E ner
very much In fact their fascination for her
caused the young woman to entirely
forget the fact that she had q husband
and two girl children, whose ages
were four. and six, and she was constantly IN
the company of either one or other of the
two borders. 1t was apparent to them and
herself that she did not know which one OF
the two she preferred, and that she could
we'll say
''How happy [ could be with either wers
t'other dear charmer away"
But during this month Of April for some
reason not known to both of these boarders,
Mrs, Koch bestowed more smiles on Albert
Graves than she did on boarder No. l and
the latter got jealous. He quarrelled with
the lovable young matron, and she, 1t Is
said, made such angry remarks that he
choked and beat her.
Mrs. Koch, to get even with this boarder,
on April % fled from her house with Graves,
and left the husband, children and boarder'
No. to mourn. The young woman and
Graves, it is alleged, went to No 20s East
One Hundred and Tenth street, New kork,
| to hive, and they are believed to be living
there now.
Mrs. Koch seems to be contented to be
estranged from her husband, but she does
not want TO be deprived of her children.
Soon after she fed from her home Koch
volunteered to be reconciied TO her, but she
would not accept the offer.
Mrs Koch has employed Counsellor James
A. Gordon to look out for her interests IN
the divorce case. She will make no defence
to the suit but will insist on the Court either
giving her control of her two girl children
or peI1nitting her to see them at will.

the Epworth League, takes an active part
in the many branches of church work and is
an eminently respectable lady. Her husband
is Andrew Cole, a practical engineer and
machinist, with an Office in Walker street,
New York, and both of them have been
looked upon by West Bergen people as a
model couple.
1t will surprise these people to hear that
Mrs. Cole is seeking to be divorced from her
husband, because, she alleges, of his brutal
treatment of her.
Mrs Coles petition for divorce filed to-
day in Chancery, says that Mr. Cole repeat
edly came home drunk, and when in that
disgraceful condition he subjected her to
rutianly treatment.
For instance, she says, one day or ratheY
night he staggered home and find ing heg ia

midnight dress, go down stairs and prepare
breakfast. This at two o'clock in the morn

This continued for some time, and despite
Mrs. Coles attempts to keep the scandal
from the public, her husbands treatment
compelled her to file the petition A few days
ago MIR. Cole 'got onto" his wife's move and
skipped to New York to evade service. He
is now residing in that wicked city, while
his wife is boarding with friends in small
house in small street, on the side OF West
Side NJ. E. Church.

BIRDS THAT CAN SEW.

Sewing seems so ingenious an art that it
must be reserved for the human species
alone. Yet the tailor bird, the orthotomus
lougicauda, and other species possess the
clements of it, They place their nests in a
large leaf which they prepare to this end
With their beaks they pierce two rows Of
holes along the edges of the leaf; they then
pass stout thread from one side to the other
alternately With this leaf, at first fiat,
they form horn in which they weave their
nest with cotton or hair These labors of
weaving and sewing are preceded by the
spinning Of the thread. The bird makes it
itself by twisting in its beak spiders webs,
bits Of cotton and little ends of wool. Sykes
found that the threads used for sewing were
Snotted at the ends. Popular Science

OHIO MINERS KICK.
Not Satisfied With the Set

at Columbus.
GOVERNOR M'KINLEY MEANS BUSINESS
Militia Ordered to Be in Readi-
ness for Action in
Illinois.

MAssILoN, o., June IL, 1S94.-The basis OF
the strike settlement has been received by
the miners here with mutterings of dlscon-
tent Nevertheless the news has had
pacifying effect and spread very rapidly.
The bulletin announcing settlement was
received from Columbus last night, and this,
together with the knowledge that the Ius-
carawas River bridge at Midvale has been
destroyed, allayed the excited feeling,
which had impelled Sheriff Doll to ask for
troops yesterday afternoon. Inc GoV-
| ernor responded to the Sheriffs call by or
dering out the Fifth Regiment Of Cleve-
land Youngstown and Norwalk. Nine COM
panies in all, over 500 men, left Cleveland at
one O'clock tn s morning, and arrived here
about daylight Col x. N. Kennan is III COM
mand. The regiment waited here for several
hours for orders and at eight o'clock pro-
ceeded on empty stomachs to Millport, few
miles north of town on the Cleveland, Ler-
ain and Wheeling Railroad, where the symp-
toms of disorder were strongest. AL THIS
hour it is thought that no attempts were
made Monday night to destroy property IN
this vicinity. United States Marshas tl1l-
lands and Abbott arrived at midnight and
are now posting notices to strikers.
TROOPS ON THE SCENE.
The Fifth Regiment is camped at crystal
Springs, six miles ont Of Massillon There
are several important bridges near by which
are to be guarded, and Crystal Springs Is
central location from which troops can
be moved either up or down the Cleveland,
Loraie &5Wh heeler Road. Sheriff Doll, of Stark
County, held conference with Col. Ken
nan and decided that permanent camp
should be located at Crystal Springs until
the trouble is over. The male population
seems to have deserted the country, as
there are very few men to be seen. All of
the houses are closed against the soldiers
The feeling in the community is very bitter.
Colonel Kennan says that he has come 20
stay until the trouble is over. but will not
commit himself as to how soon that will be.
From present indications it will be several
days.
The train of cars stands alongside of the
camp, so that separate companies OF the
whole battalion can be moved within quar-
ter of an hour. The Fifth Regiment will
also guard the Wheeling and Lake Erie, as
Governor Mckinley is determined to open
both roads to coal traffic at once. He is In
constant communication with Col. Kennan.
