Sheep, Falls 100 Feet.
James Mccoy, foreman on the y.

narrow escape from death on Friday

pikcvjlle, KY, July 16.-News
reached here from Coeburn, Va,
that Mary Snodgrass was hanged
there Friday for the murder Of her
six months old child by burning it
in a stove. The woman was 2S years
old:
The Snodgrass woman was a !disrc-
putable character and compelled to
leave Pikcvillc on that account. She
went to Coeburn, Va, where her
child was cared for by negroes until
six months old, when it was turned
over to the mother. She tried to
get rid Of the child in various ways.
The county judge told her she would
have to provide for it and she took
it home. One night some people
living near her heard the little one
screaming. Black smoke was issuing
from the chimney. The door was
burst in to ascertain the tronble.
The child had been placed in the
fire and the mother was holding it
in the flames with long iron poker.
It was burned almost to ashes. The
inhuman mother was arrested. The
infuriated people wanted to lynch
her, but the promise Of speedy JUS
tice caused them to allow the law to
take it's course. She was convicted
of murder in the first degree. The
parents of the mother live in this
county. She was married to worth
less man when about 16 years old
and soon separated from him.

BIKE MESSENGERS.
Handled The Convention Reports Faster
Than Railroads.

Than Railroads.
Chicago, July 16.-One Of the fea
lures Of the newspaper work Of the
national convention was the manner
in which the bicycle service was en-
ployed by the Associated press for
the delivering Of the verbal reports
of the convention during the night
session to the main Office of the
Western Union telegraph company
down town. 1t was thought by the
managers of the Associated press
that bicycles could be employed to do
faster work and more reliable work
than the express trains on the Illi-
nois Central railway. For the pur-
pose Of performing this service three
expert bicycle riders were employed
to convey these reports from the con-
vention hall down town. The names
OF the men SO employed were Alfred
II. Shughue, NJ. II. Beebe and w.
W. Phelps.
These men rode in relays, similar
to that-of the pony express employed
to deliver the United States mail in
former times, The first rider con
veyed the report as far as Fifty-ti fifth
street and Michigan avenue, where
it was delivered to a fresh rider, who
proceeded with it to Thirty first
street, where it was delivered to a
third rider, who conveyed it to tho
Western Union building, where
through pneumatic tubes, it was de
]ivered to the various newspaper Of
fees of the city. A practical test OF
this system proved it's efficiency, ant
the young gentlemen SO employed
won enconiums for the promptnes
with which they performed the work

FIESDIsII ACT OF a WOMAN.
Through Jealousy She Throws Il Bottle
Of Nitr0I at Another.

Of VitrOY at Another.
Butte, July 1G.-Thc grccn-cycd
monster got IN his fiendish work in
South Butte today and as a result
Mrs. Thomas Smelling, who resides
at No. 81 Utah avenue, lies blinded
at her home from shower Of oil of
vitrOl.
Mrs. Snclling's husband is a brick
layer, who is at present working at
his trade at Anaconda. 1t seems
that Ed. Hcimbach Of Mcaderyllc
wa, a friond Of Sno1ling's and fire.
oucntly called at the home Of the
latter. Dne'cvening a short time ago
Mr.. Heimbach called at the house,
and Smelling not being home, his
wife entertained ihim for a short
time. Mrs. Heimbach suspected her
husband Of being fondcr of Mrs.
Smelling than the. lattcr's husband
and apparently grew furiously jeal-
GUS.
This morning Mrs. 1Icimbach, act
companicd by her sister, went to the
Rocky Mountain bottling works in
South Butte and asked for a bottle
Of vitrol. She explained to Tom
kecfc, an cmployc Of the works, that
She wanted the stuff in order to kill
bedbugs. Mr.. kccfe gave her Il mix
turc Of sulphuric acid and coal tar in
a ginger ale bottle, which held about
a pint and half.
Shortly after O'Clock this after
noon Mrs. Heimbach and her sister
appeared at the house Of Mrs. Smell.
ing and called the latter into tho
parlor. When the woman appeared
she was greeted with an exclamation
Of "You take this, will you,'' ant
Mrs. Heimbach threw the content:
of the vitrol bottle in Mrs. Smell
ing's face. The two women thcl
rushed out on the street and Il shor
distance above the Sncliny's resi-
dcncc they separated, Mrs. lIcimbacl
throwing away the bottle as she ran
Mrs. Smelling, yelling with agony
rushed out into the street and crict
for help. Her clothing hung to
gcthcr by shrcds and portions Of i
fell from her body as She ran. He
shrcks attracted a crowd, who car
ried her into the house and summoned
. Drs Wells and johnson. She wa
terribly burned about the face ant
neck and her hands were covered
with acid to such an extent that SIN
burned Il ncighbor's body by placin!
them on her.
The little par]or presented ashOck
ing appearance, the walls and furni
turc being covered with the blac
mixture. which was strong enough t
, peel the paint from dressing cas-
upon which it had been thrown.

LAST CHANGE.

Alkire's have offered wearers of straw hats several opportunities this summer to buy their headgear cheap CT than ever before, and although they have sold several thousand straw hats they have straw hats left. Now they will not carry such goods over and try to sell them next year for brand new because they don't do business that way Alkire's straw hats this season made a great hit because they were distinctly new, so to be sure and close out the present stock they will from now on until all are gone sell straw hats at cost and below cost. If any doubt this let them call at the big store and ask prices. They will have no difficulty in convincing themselves that there is one firm that can and will sell straw hats at cost. There will be at least six weeks of very sum- mery weather yet and every well dressed gentleman can afford to treat themselves to a new straw hat just to close the season in as good taste as they began it.

ADDING ID THE HORRORS Seven Dead, Fifty In-
 jured. Runaway Trolley Car Accident
 in Pennsylvania.
The Brake Rigging Broke, the Car Ran a Mile a Minute, Tumbled
 Into a Ditch.

LANCASTER, Pa., Aug. 1O.-The trolley car catastrophe last night on the Columbia & Donegal railroad adds one more to the list of horrors occur ring recently. It is calculated that at least fifty persons were injured more or less seriously and seven were killed outright. The brake broke while the car was on very steep grade, and while running at high rate of speed, while rounding a sharp curve left the track, striking a tree with great force and then toppled over into a ditch.
 Henry Smith of Columbia was in stantly killed, piece of wood piercing his head. Albert Felinger, motorman, was crushed to death. w. A. Pinker- ton of Columbia was crushed to death. c. Burgess and H. H. Heiss of Colum- bia were on the rear platform and jumped just before the car plunged from the track Both were found with their necks broken. Wm. Meller of Columbia died a short time after the amputation of both legs, which were horribly crushed. w. J. Ludlow of Seagirt, N. J., died at the hospital this morning. Mrs. Emile Fitzgerald of Lancaster who had the left side of her head crushed, died this morning.
 All day long crowds have been view ing the scene of the wreck.

LABOR DAY.
Phoenix Typographical Union Prepar-
 Ing for Celebration.

Phoenix Typographical Union held meeting Sunday and appointed con- mittee to meet with the other labor unions of this city for the purpose of properly celebrating Labor Day, which falls on Monday, September '. The "comps" are very patriotic and think that all National holidays should be properly observed. All labor organi- cations will meet at the city hall next Sunday and from these bodies com mittee will be appointed to form a council of labor. At this meeting the proper committees will also be ap- pointed to confer with the merchants for the observance of Labor Day.
 The idea of the projectors of the Labor Day celebration is to have ath- letic sports at the park in the daytime and street parade and grand ball at night. Prominent citizens will ad- dress the assemblage at the park, and choice music will be furnished by local talent. A celebration of this character would bring many people to Phoenix from the neighboring towns, and it 1i to be hoped that the other unions and merchants will show the proper spirit by assisting the Typo graphical union in it's efforts to not only observe a National holiday, but give all the people a day of real pleas ure and enjoyment.

Provoked a Speech.

A good story is told of the way in which a New England senator was once aroused to make stirring speech. At the outset of his political career he had been known as a remarkably clever orator of the stump" and later on, in the lower house of the legislature, he made a brilliant name for himself. But when he became a senator he ceased talking, much to the regret of his friends and admirers. Finally the liquor law came up for discussion, and the wife of friend of the senator, who was much interested in its passage, was greatly disappointed to see that the brilliant man had no apparent in tention of joining in the discussion. She sat dow. and wrote a few words on a sheet of paper, which she inclosed iE an envelope and sent by a messenger to the senator. Do speak! Even Ba- laam's ass spoke once!" This brought the senator to his feet and elicited one of the best speeches he ever made.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwoods S Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay a vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before. and after the Armada. and the struggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or g heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

BIG JOHN MORIARTY.
Said to Be the Tallest and Strongest Man
 in Eastern Maine.


 in Eastern Maine.
 John Moriarty, known all over east ern Maine as Barney Kelley's Giant" :" died in Oldtown hospital recently of typhoid fever, says the Lewiston Even ing Journal. He has been for nearly two years employed as construction hand on the Bangor 6 Aroostook rail road, and later on the new Ashland branch, where he became sick.
 Moriarty stood feet 9s4 inches in his stocking feet, and generally weighed 24o pounds. Had he been fat his weight would have been enormous. But he was very lean. Why" said Barney Kelley, you could feed the giant on porterhouse steak and eggs and he wouldn't gain pound; but he was an awful tough man.
 His arms were very long and he had hands as powerful as the paws of a gorilla. All over his body the muscles stood out in Jumps and cords, and his strength was immense. He could do as much work as two ordinary men, and Ou tldU dCCOuuU HIS StINlCCS NOlS ways in demand at more than common wages. He was especially serviceable as derrick man-he could turn the heavy crank all day without tiring An ax was like toy in his hands, cant-dog like walking-stick. He could up end and shoulder a small log or piece of timber that two ordinary men could barely lift, and in every department of hearty manual labor he was very Hercules.
 Many stories are told of the giants mighty strength. Once, when two saucy woodsmen "guyed' him about his towering height, he seized them by the shoulders, one in each hand, and knocked their heads together till their teeth rattled-and they were two good sized men.
 At another time some toughs came into barroom where he was and pro- ceeded to "clear the place out.' Mori- arty took them, two at time, and pitched them half way across the street as though they were so many ninepins.
