STONING OF THE TRAIN DENIED.
Clayton Citizens Denounce Webster.
Story Wholly False.

Clayton Citizens Denounce Webster's
story ms Wholly False.
According to the statements of two of
.Clayton's leading business men the story
told by detective Webster of the stoning
of the train on which he was bringing
Bun Nichols to this city, is wholly false
and drawn from the Imagination of an
of Clayton's business men, in letter to
the Journal says:
1.-The interview in your to-day's issue
purporting to come from detective H. C.
Webster, concerning attempted mob vio-
lence in Clayton yesterday, contains state
ments false it is possible to make
them There is not the semblance of truth
in the whole article
THE facts are that the detectives ar
rested one Bun Nochols near Stilesville
yesterday afternoon. Nichols is a bad
character and is supposed to be one of the
principles a confederate in the Hinshaw
murder. The detectives decided to take the
prisoner to Gainesville and by rail to Dan
Vile via Indianapolis Upon their arrival
at Gainesville the news was telegraphed to
Clayton and stated that the prisoner would
be brought here aboard the Vandalia local
freight and would reach here in about
twenty minutes. The news spread rapidly
about town and about a hundred people
composed of as good citizens as Clayton
affords assembled at the depot to see the
prisoners 1t was not for the purpose of
mob violence that the crowd assembled but
out of morbid curiosity to see man
charged with so heinous a crime There
was absolutely no demonstration on the
part of the assemblage- and no desire or
intent to use mob violence.
THE train stopped here fifteen or twenty
minutes as is usual, and did not pull
through without stopping for fear of the
so-called bowling mob, as the interview
states. There were sticks nor stones
thrown, nor was there any attempt or de-
sire to do bodily harm to the prisoner. The
crowd was quiet, well-behaved and good
natured and was not a yelling, bowling
mob, as the detective would have the public
believe The people of Clayton, who are
proud of their quiet and law-ablding record
ask the Journal to deny the statements in
toto in to-day'S issue and brand them as
absolutely false. They are very indignant
that any one knowing the facts should
make such false and unwarranted state
ments. They feel that they are not justly
entitled to such unpleasant notoriety. The
whole statement, which is manufactured
out of whole CLOTH is evidently a product
of the detectWe's ferlne brain, and Clay
the unpleasant comment that the inter-
view would bring about
John Harrison another citizen, writes
in similar strain. His statement comedies
exactly with that given above as to the
actions of the crowd and stopping of the
train for fifteen or twenty minutes. He
says there is mot particle of truth in the
statements. referring to the detectives
story of the stoning of the train.

Lowell'5 Patriotism.

Tie next year he was called to the
service Of tie country whose foundation
he lad been celebrating in song. He
was sent in 1877. as American minister
TO Spain. where another man of letters.
Washington Irving. had preceded him
half a century before. In 1880 he was
transferred from Madrid to London. No
American minister ever made himself
more welcome among foreign people
than Lowell! was among the British
And his popularity was not due TO any
attempts to please their pre,udices.
Lowell never gave up any Of his Ameri-
canism. Rather on occasion did he af
firm IT. Nowhere more plainly than in
England was Lowell's Americanism
seen TO be ingrained. With him patriot
ism was almost \ passion. In sending
Kim to Great Britain the United States
put it, best foot forward. and our kin
across the sea were quick to understand
the opportunity offered to them, and by
their request Lowell delivered in Eng

were but offhand speeches after dinner.

Queer Facts About Air.

The celebrated chemist of the six
tenth century who argued that it would
be impossible for Us to live on the
earth's surface if the atmosphere should
suddenly increase to twice its present
thickness could not have been far wrong,
after all-that is, if the experiments Of
DR.. Arnott are to be taken as conclu-
sive. In his observations ON atmospheric
pressure at the bottoms of the deep
mining shafts of Europe, Professor Ar
mott has found that the change between
the readings Of barometer at the bot
tom of 1000 foot shaft and one at the
surface is great enough to warrant him
in making the statement that air at the
bottom of shaft 90 miles deep would
be as dense as water Figuring on the
same ratio, he finds that if hole could
be sunk 40 miles into the bowels Of the
earth the density of the air at the bot
tom would be as great as that of quick

Antiquity of Archery.

The use Of the bow may be traced to
the remotest antiquity. The first notice
which we find of it is in Genesis xxi,
go. where it is said that Ishnlael became
an archer. 1t was introduced into Eng
laid in the reign of Esbert the Saxon.
but was not used at a martial weapon
till the reign of Edward ]. The period at
which the longbow attained its meridian
fame may be fixed in the reign Of
Henry V, whose archers destroyed the
whole French cavalry, clothed in com
piete steel, with their yard long arrows
AT the battle of Flodden Field also the
English archers made sad havoc. Shoot
ing with the bow was an extremely
fashionable amusement in the reign of
Henry VIII, and Holinshed reports that
the prince shot as well as any of his
guard. After the siege of Devices in the
civil wars, l647, the bow, as a military
weapon. was entirely laid aside. Arch

Louis Napolcon's Friendly Bricklayer.

The founder of the firm of Godillot,
whose extensive premises were recently
burned down, played in his time sub.
ordinate part in the history of his coun-
try. He was employed as a bricklayer
ut the fortress of Ham when Louis Ma.
poleon, who had been confined within
its walls after his fiasco ut Strasburg,
effected his escape. 1t was Godillot who
lent the pretender his blouse and coarse
wooden trousers and thus enabled the
prince to slip out in this disguise, car
rying beam On his shoulder, which
concealed his features from the soldiers

HER ALARM CLOCK.
And Why She Fad Good Reason For Be

And Why She Ead Good Reason For Be
ing Incenscd Against 1t.
A suburban woman not long since
purchased an alarm clock. 1t was fat
nickel plated little affair with the Gus
tomary gong atop. The woman got the
clock because she felt an overwhelming
desire to play the role Of the early bird.
That night, therefore, she set the time
piece according to the specified direc-
lions. But for some reason or other the
clock failed to go off. The woman gave
it a second trial Again it played her
false. She took it to the suburban jew
eler. He said the clock was outrageous
~ out of order, limited darby at the dis
honesty Of any individual who would
palm off such an article as perfect goods
and prescribed a course of treatment
which he would be gracious enough to
administer for the sum of IS cents. The
clocks original cost had been 81. so.
The night that it came back from the
suburban jeweler the woman wound it
up with feeling of unassailable secur-
ity. This time the role of the early bird
would be hers for certain. The next
morning, however, it failed to go off,
Just as before. The woman took it back
to the suburban jeweler, who received
it with an Il told you that clock was

the troublesome timepiece to the city
jeweler from whom she had first pur-
chased it. He declared the clock to have
been all right until "ruined''. by the
suburban jeweler, but consented to re-
pair it-also to charge 81 for so doing.
The woman then bore it home in tri-
umph.
Next morning, though, the same old
drama was enacted, and the woman was
once more unable to assume the role Of
the early bird. Had she been q man she
might have sworn. As it was, she con-

AT TENEMENT WINDOW.

Sometimes my needle stops with half drawn
thread.
CNot often, though. Each moments waste
means bread, ri
And missing stitches leave the little mouths

I look down on the dingy court below.
A tuft Of grass is all it has to show,
A broken pump where thirsty children 60.
Above there shines bit of sky so small
That 1t might be a passing bluebird's wing.
One tree leans up against the high brick wall,
And there the sparrows twitter of the spring
Until they waken in my heart cry
OF hunger that no bread can satisfy.
Always before when May time took her way
Across the fields followed close. Today
/ can but dream Of all her bright array.
Ny work drops down. Across the sill lean
And long with bitter longing for unseen
Rain freshened paths where budding woods
grow green.
The water trickles from the pump below
Upon the stones With eyes half shut hear
1t falling in a pool where rushes grow
And feel n cooling presence drawing near.
And now the sparrows chirp again. No, harki
A singing as Of some far meadow lark.
1t is the same old miracle applied
Unto myself, that on the mountain side
The few small loaves and fishes multiplied.
Behold how strange and sweet the mysteryi
The birds, the broken pump, the gnarled tree
Have brought the fullness of the spring to me.
For in the leaves that rustic by the wall
All forests find tongue. And SO that grass
Wide bloom filed meadows where the cattle
pass.
How it can be but dimly divine
These crumbs, God given, make the whole loaf
mine.

men stoop while riding. Women sit
erect. Men always seem to be on bust
