From the London News
'Nicking'' horses was described by the
witness in q case heard before the Wake
field magistrates as n matter of fashion,
but It appears to be something more than
that-at least to the horses. Nicking is q
process supplemental to what is known as

tails, or rather the stumps thereof which re-
main after docking, to stand out, smart,
erect and perky enough to make them look
fashionable
In tie case in question four animals were
stated TO have been cast on straw while one
of the defendants made four large wounds
or missions in the muscles under the tail of
each. The animals Were then placed in
stalls padded on each side with bags or
sacks CT straw to prevent them from lying
down, while their tails were plated with
straw, and q rope attached to this was car
ried up to the ceiling and passed over a pull
ley. A three four pound weight was
rope, with the object of holding the tails
of the horses erect and perpendicular
Further it appeared that the horses We're
to be kept in this position for three weeks f;
but, fortunately for them, the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals heard
of the business. One witness declared that

Fausto turned deadly pale He saw his
Giabolical scheme of vengeance recoling on
his own head; he staggered back against
the WALL ind for a moment all swan be-
fore his eyes. Manuela rushed past him in
to the garden, calling for help. For a mo-
ment he was alone in the little waste space,
with the tody of Rafael lying few feet
from him. Close by lay the long navajo
which had fallen from the torero's nerve
less hand. He stopped and picked it up;
here was an escape from the fearful posi-
ton to which his curbless jealousy had
brought him. He had just raised the weap-
on to level with his heart when a tall,
dark figure appeared in the doorway lead
ing to the garden, and a deep voice cried:
"Hold. impious boy. What is this? Blood!
Murder! Is there not enough harm done
already that you must seek to add another
victim?'
And a man dressed in the long black cas-
sock and shovel hat of a priest advanced
to Fausto and took the knife from his hand.
1t was Don Gregorio, the family chaplain,

He turned to the body and bent over it.
He is not dead. Take his feet while I
lift his head he said imperiously
Fausto obeyed mechanically, and between
them they bore the body into the garden.
Lay him here. I hear voices. Manuela
is bringing help from the house,, said the
priest. Now come with me-" and, laying
an action which, though gentle. was as firm
as iron, he led him away. Fausto made no
resistance. This unlooked-for ending to the
scheme of revenge which his jealous mad
ness had given birth to seemed to have
crushed the life out of him. Three strong
passions rule the Spanish breast-love, re-
venge and religious zeal: of these, the two

Rafael Velasco recovered, but he never

his kinship with Don Christoba1 ended his
career as torero. That this would be the
case he knew when he exacted vow of
secrecy from his sister so solemn that she
dared not reveal the truth even to the
man she loved. Now. however, that the
secret had come out, by means of Fausto's
treachery, an explanation took place be-
tween the lovers. and what the jealous rival
had hoped would forever separate Manuela
and Ramon became the means of their
lnitn.
The morning after the encounter between
Rafael and Ramon Fausto set out on a
journey with Don Gregorio. No one knew
for certain what became of him, but in a

A Burglar Strangely Trapped.

From the Philadelphia Times.
During the severely cold weather in Janu.
airy just past Tip Burbank, a notorious
robber, went out alone one night to make a
raid on the First National Bank of Fort
Benton, Mont His plan was 10 enter
through window at the rear of the build
ing, to make his way through the room
and offices back, finally working his way
to the vault. An iron grating protected
this window. The night was intensely cold,
and the streets were like glass, a heavy
snow two weeks previous having melted as
1t fell and then frozen smooth and hard.
While Tip was filing the first bar of the
grating his foot slipped, throwing him for
ward violently against the window. As
luck would have it, the fall jerked his
mouth open, forcing his tongue between his
lips, fairly freezing it 10 the icy iron bar.
All efforts to release himself were in vain.
as nothing short of pulling his tongue out
by the roots would have effected this. and
he could not bring himself to do il. A
Waterman making his rounds found him a
half hour later almost dead with cold.
Tip is alive and safely housed in Jail nowf
but his tongue will never wag again. 1t ID

THE ANNIVERSARY
OF the First Sitting OF the Reichstng Cele-
brated.

OF the First Sitting OF the Reichstag Cele-
brated.
London. March ga dispatch from
Berlin to the Times says:
-Four hundred past and present mem
bers attended Saturdays banquet to
commemorate the first sitting Of the
Reichstag in 1871. No socialists were
present.
1T is believed that the decision to
toast Prince Bismarck unofficially was
largely due to Chancellor Won Hohen-
lohe's tact. The toast was very warm
ly received.
There has been much speculation re-
garding the following phrase in Chan
cellor Won 'Hohenlohe's speech at the
banquet: Bismarck addresses many a
warning word to the epigone of the
great times that are past. This may
refer TO Prince Bismarck's newspaper
articles and speeches, but the favorite
Interpretation is that it actually refers
to personal advice by Prince Bismarck
TO Chancellor Won HOhhenlOe.
THE Bismarckian organs, in COM
menting upon the anniversary, express
disappointment, and assert that the
Reichstag totally lacks the national
sentiments needed to make it worthily
represent the people"
