F'CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE statement
sent out over the w. u. T. Co. s tickers
this morning to the effect that the AS

President Cleveland's assassination
proves to have been a malicious false

sent over the ticker and the companies

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Early this morn
ing several daily newspapers received
from their correspondents kilograms
stating that rumOrs were in circulation
to the effect that President Cleveland
had been assassinated, and the AssOci
ated Press was called upon to investi
gate whether there was any basis of the
rumors. The telegraph and telephone
office at Buzzard's Bay was
closed for the night, but an
inquiry directed to New Bedford
disclosed that the rumors were bas3less,
and the Associated Press sent out d
prompt denial to the effect tEat the
rumor had no basis whatever. Tn New
York Stock Quotation Ticker Company
this morning sent out on its tape in this
city malicious and lying statement fur
nished by the United Press. 1t was, IN
effect, that the Associated Press had last
night reported that an attempt had been
made to assassinate President Cleveland.
The Ticker Company soon learned that it
had been imposed upon by INSCRIPTIONS
people, and promptly sent out on its tape
this statement in refutation of its prevl-
Gus one:
"Notice. A statement was sent over
this tape this morning in these words,
supplied to us through our news chan.
nels:
"The report sent cut early this morn
ing by the Chicago Associated Press that
an attempt had been made to a3sassinate
President Cleveland is untrue.
THAT statement is distinctly wrong
The Associated Press incorrectly referred
to as the Chicago Associated Press, sent
out no statement that an attempr to as
sa8sinate President Cleveland had been
made. On the contrary, a rum0r to
that effect was run down and disprOved
by the Associated Press. This statement
is fair to ourselves as well as the Asso-
ciated Press"

And round was the dreary waste Of
billowy plains and the burning sun
overhead
In the rear Of the sentry box its pro-
jecting roof had cast little shade,
and here the man sat down upon the
ground with his child still in his arms.
Strange things, for him, came to his
eyes--tears. The little one looked up
at him in puzzled way, and he hasti-
ly brushed his hand across his face
and left a broad smudge of railway
SCOT upon his cheek. She clapped her
hands and laughed with giee at his
funny face.
Then thirst came to them--that
awful, torturing, unreasonIng thirst
which the desert alone can give. The
child cried for water, and the father
left her in the scanty shade and stepped
out into the glaring sun. Neither in
the sky nor in the parched ground was
there drop of moisture, and he knew
it. He returned and tried to comfort
her, and then he sat down again, buried
his face in his hands and tried to
think. The evening was coming on
when he rose to his feet with q new
resolve.
Away far off in the west thin, al
most imperceptible streak Of smoke
told him that the east-bound train was
approaching Near the track he found
q dirty shred of flag hanging to a
stick, and he placed it in the socket of
the upright post standing in front Of
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1895-11-12

replied the unfortunate one, faltering-
ly, ''I think I could raise the money"
'tGo through the train? Not much.
Third-class passengers stay in this car.
You get of at the next station" said
the conductor, in . voice of fierce warn
ing, as he passed on.
IN about an hour the conductor came
into the car again and gave the bell
rope . vicious pull The engine re-
sponded with two short whistles, and
gradually the train slackened its speed
and stopped.
"Come, now, you get of here" said
the conductor, roughly; ''we're behind
time already, and You want to hurry
up about it."
Again the mans lip curled In an ugly
way, but he made no answer, except to
gether up the few paper bundles Of
bread and meat on the seat before him.
Then, taking his child In his arms, he
followed the conductor to the platform
and stepped off the train. Before it
was under way again. however, q hu-
name brakeman on the last step called
ont to him:
"Say, partner, ther Amt noth1n'
here. This Is only =. flag station. The
eastboundll be along in few hours.
Stop her and board her. The conduc.
tor on that train'll let you on. It's q
