GIVE 5000 RABBITS.
But 5000 Denver People Were Pres
ent to Get One.

Denver, Dec. 25.-There was a pretty
lively scrimmage for the jack rabbits
which were announced to be distributed
from Parson UzzeI's tabernacle yester-
day morning.
The block in the center of which the
tabernacle stands was crowded with as
heterogeneous a mass of humanity as
could wen be gotten into that space.
Then six boys We're placed inside the
doors and handed out as quickly as they
could the jacks to ParSon Uzzeu, Rev.
in turn put them into the Outstretched
hands that awaited them. All went
very we'll 50 far. The pile dwindled. but
the crowd did not, appreciably- Some
thing must be the matter, and the doors
We're ordered shut until the situation
could be sized up.
Boys" thundered the parson at the
thought that it might be so, 4 believe
you are doubling up on me" Then he
meditated a moment scratched his
reverie as it suddenly flashed on him
what he was doing His hands We're
wet with the blood of the dead jacks.
He became ireful at having used the
sanguineous pomade on his smooth
locks, but he caught an idea just the
same.
Now, every man must show his
hands, shouted the parson with a
glance at his own, before he gets a
ia bbit.'
The trick worked magically. A half
dozen right in front of the parsOn SUNK
away 1t was impossible to take a rab-
bit without getting blood on ones hands
by the fur being universally smeared
with its life blood, so few after that had
chance to pass the rabbit on to a
friend in waiting and then ask anew
Three thousand rabbits were given
away

OHIO sILvERITEs wRANGLING.
A Motion Made to Name Delegates to
the Democratic Convention.

Cleveland O., March IA meeting Of
silver men. representing nearly every
county in Ohio, was held at the Hollen-
den hotel last night. 1t was stormy from
the outset and at several junetures it
seemed that the meeting would be forced
to adjourn because of the differences of
opinion. The main source of contention
was proposition of A. A. Brown of Gin
cinnnatn, that four silver men be recon-
mended to the democratic state conven-
ton as delegates at large to the national
convention. l.. E. Holden of Cleveland, e.
b. Finley of Bucyrus, Allen w. Thur
man of Columbus and f. w. Moore or
Greenville were named. Then turmoil
reigned, and arguments pro and con on
the political ACCESSIBILITY of the motion
were holly made. The motion was final
ly laid on the table. Next it was deter
mined that organizers be appointed to
visit every county to awaken an interest
in the silver movement and work for the
election of silver men to the state ana
national conventions. At an early hour
this morning the convention adjourned. 1t
is likely that another meeting will be held.

From the Philadelphia Record.


Paris, March 9.-The beginning to-day
of the trial of the men involved in the
conspiracy through the medium of which
the greater portion of Max Lebaudys
millions went into the pockets of others
has brought out a most interesting story
Of the career of Armand Rosenthal. a
newspaper writer known as Jacques Saint
Cere, who was first placed on trial
After leaving the army. Rosenthal was
employed at the Voltaire Office to trans
late cuttings from the German newspa-
pers. He presumed, however, upon his
acquaintance with NJ. Ranc, the editor,
and was discharged. Later on he APP
peared in Munich, Where he aided
Sacher-M asoch, the hungarian novelist
From Munich he eloped with Nine. Sach-
er-Masoch, and, after taking a trip into
Italy. returned with her to Paris, where
he deserted her. He then established him
self at Berlin as correspondent of several
French newspapers. and moving in the
best society, he became an intimate friend
of DIR. Paul L.ndau, then dramatic critic
of the Berliner Tageblatt
At DR.. Lindau's house Rosenthal met

II. H. COLEMAN's ASSIGNMENT.
A Coke Company EnjOined From
bringing Attachments.

Lebanon. Pa, March 14.-Upon the APP
plication of George F. Baer, of Reading,
solicitor for the Pennsylvania Company
for insurance on lives and granting an
nuities, of Philadelphia, and Henry T.
Kendall, of Reading, assignee of Robert
II. Coleman, the Cornwall iron-master, for
the benefit of his creditors, Judge Ehrgood
yesterday ordered a preliminary injunction
20 issue against the Mcclure Coke Co., OF
PlttsburS to restrain the defendant from
bringing or prosecuting any attachments,
or other suits and legal proceedings,
against the property and effects of Robert
IL. Coleman, the assignor, in the courts
OF savannah, Ga, and Jacksonville, Fla,
upon the ground that the company de-
PENDANT has accepted the assignment and
is therefore stopped from prosecuting it's
claims by actions at law.
The injunction being of an introductory
character, the court fixed next Tuesday,
March II, as the time for hearing on a
motion to dissolve it, or continue it to a
final hearing, and make it perpetual.
A vigorous contest is expected to ensue
over the final disposition of the case. The
company defendant holds claims against
Mr.. Coleman to the amount of upward of
$4,000, which it seeks to recover in the
proceedings commenced. or about to be
commenced in Savannah and Jackson
Vile, where Mr.. Coleman owns both real
and personal property.
