A NIGHT IN LUDLOW.
Harvey NJ. Toilette of Indiana i. in


Trouble.
New York, Sept. 26.-Ha1vey NJ. La
Toilette. formerly ex-superintendent
of institution Of Indiana, spent last
night in Ludlow street Jail in default
of $4,000 bail. His arrest was. in an
action brought by Harvey S. Mooney
to recover $27,33S for fraudulent rep
resentations alleged to have been made
by La Toilette that one hundred and
twenty-five bonds of the Connorsville
Gas and Electric Light company sold
by him last December and April to
Mooney were first mortgage bonds,
when in fact there were prior liens on
the company's property. In part per-
formance of the contract, La Toilette
delivered sixty-two bonds which We're
a subsequent lien to another issue
amounting to $4,000 and Mooney paid
$4,000 in cash. In part performance
of a contract for another lot of sixty
first mortgage bonds La Toilette de-
livered twenty-five second mortgage
bonds and Mooney paid him $9,1S3.12
relying On La Follette's warranty that
the bonds were first mortgage bonds.
The control of the Connorsville COM
pany was sold to La Toilette in Novem-
Der, 1894, by James N. Huston, form
erly treasurer of the United States for
$4,000 in stock and bonds Of the La
Toilette Land and Improvement COM
pany. $4,000 in cash and La Follette's
note for $4,000. The $4,000 of prior
liens were issued in 1890.

IS st. Paul, Sept. %. s. Z. Moore, gen
8eral freight agent &C the Northern Pa
clfic, hGs in operation scheme for
clearing the ranges Of the West of
their hundreds OF thousands of cheap
horses made cheap by the trolley and
the bicycle-Within the next year or
two. The first experimental train load
IS now en- route. Speaking of his
scheme Mr.. Moore said to-day:
Five and ten dollars a head is the
price now asked for several hundred
thousand horses, branded and roaming
the plains, too valuable to be destroyed
and too expensive to keep alive. The
horses vary in weight from 100 pounds
Ito LOO pounds each, and as rule
are branded, on the hip or shoulder, or
some other conspicuous place, to pre-
Vent loss by theft or going tray in
stormy weather. Sometimes these ami
mails drift hundreds of miles from the
home ranches, but their owners can
always identify their stock with very
little difficulty. Large dIoyes Of these
horses are destined soon to be killed
and served by butchers to the trade in
Paris and other cities in Europe. A
train load is now en- route over the
Northern Pacific railway from Wash
ington, in cars especially provided
with hay racks and water troughs,
and will soon be driven aboard ship
in New York harbor and sent across
the Atlantic ocean. This bunch Of
s cayuses and broncOs must pass rigid
health inspection in New York and at
E the receiving port in Europe. For
n year or more past the freight depart
ment of the Northern Pacific railway
has labored to find market for the
surplus of horses tributary to that
line. A plant was established by sew
eral men at Portland, Or, to slaughter
some of these animals, but it did not
succeed for the reason that the Euro.
pean governments passed prohibitiye
law against landing horse meat in
IS packages Of any kind. This effectual-
" shut out the horse meat picked and
preserved in that city, and cut off an
industry that promised to be very prof
table to the enterp1ising proprietor, as
+ we'll as a lasting benefit to the horse
ranchers on the plains in providing a
market for stock almost va1ueless for
any other purpose.
According to the secretary of ag-
riculture there are 100000 horses be-
tween the Twin Cities and the North
Pacific coast. Several hundred thou
sand Of these animals could be dis
posed of and not missed; and at an
average price of $3.50 per head woul
yield over $2,OO0O0O. This large sum
distributed among the ranches would
/ improve the condition Of many and
make them happy. If the government
officials at Washington are successful
in their negotiations with the Europe
an authorities for the removal Of re-
strictions against horse meat in pack
ages from America, parties having
plenty of capital are willing 70 open a
large and expensive plant, constructed
by the Marquis de Mores several years
ago at Medora, n. D., for the purpose
of slaughterlng cattle, and will add to
it a picking and canning branch for
| tie purpose of slaughtering these
horses"

sheep and Ensi1aEe.

It has been found that ensilage is
good for sheep when not too sour or
moldy. A writer says it will be de-
sirable, however, to feed some dry
food, and that half of the corn should
be sliced and half Of it well cured dry.
Make the silo perfectly air.tight, by
double boarding and tarred paper be
tween each wall. The air space need
not be more than six inches The bot
tom of the silo must be cemented per
feetly tight, covering the sills inside
and the whole floor. OF course this
does not admit of any way of drain
age, which will be unnecessary, un-
less the silo is flied with actually wet
fodder. There will be no drainage
from corn cut when the ears are glazed
as the rule is in ordinary harvesting
of this crop. The inside of the silo
should be we'll painted with hot tar.

Canton, Sept. 27.-Members of the

rived this morning. 1t was Marion,
Ind, and made up of glass workers
Of Grant county. The Introduction
was made by Dr.. w. R. Francis. Two

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 26.-Five
hundred Yale students, assisted by q
band Of the First regiment guards of
Connecticut broke up the address by
William j. Bryan at this place yester-
day.
A platform had been erected on the
historical New Haven Green and
about that platform for more than an
hour before the nominee arrived from
ten to fifteen thousand people had
surged to and fro. To the right of the
stand the students had congregated,
awaiting the arrival of Mr. Bryan.
At 2:15 o'clock Mr.. Bryan was driven
in a carriage through the crowd to the
platform. Immediately all was con-
fusion in front. The students broke
forth in their college cheer of the frog
chorus from Aristophranes, follow
ing with three long Yales, nine sRah's,
q Yale and mckinley" The crowd
surged to and fro in front of the stand,
and dozen policemen fought it from
the platform. There were cheers for
the nominee but from the right Of the
stand the students repeatedly broke
forth with their yell and for % minutes
it was impossible for Mr.. Bryan to
make himself heard. Joseph b. Sar-
gent, the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor, who was to introduce Mr..
Bryan, tried to quiet the yelling mob
in front, but he could not be heard ten
feet away. In vain did Mr.. Bryan at
tempt to restore order, but it was
many minutes before anything like
quiet was obtained. During the ex-
citement women tainted and several
persons were taken from the crowd,
overcome by the crush. The police
used their clubs, and one Of their num-
ber, mounted on a spirited horse,
forced the animal in front of the stahRa
nearly creating a panic. Then again
MI. Bryan tried to speak, but he was
interrupted by the yells of the stu
dents. This lasted altogether for %
minutes and when at last the noise
had subsidized sufficiently for him to
make himself heard by those i'm
mediately in front, Mr.. Bryan started
to speak. AS he proceeded, the noise
quieted, but every few minutes he
would be interrupted by the frog
chorus. Finally when the First regi-
ment guards band began to play Mr..
Bryan threw up his hands and refused
to attempt to speak further. The
meeting then broke up in disorder.

Aluminium Not Poisonous.

Recently two healthy and robust ply
sicians, aged twenty-six and thirty
five years, were selected by the I'M
perial German Health Bureau to I'M
dergo an interesting experiment i'll or
der to ascertain whether aluminium is
poisonous or not. These two gentle
men, in order to test the nCn-poison-
Gus properties Of aluminium, volun-
teered every morning for one month,
to swallow fifteen grains of aluminium
tartrate with their lunch. At the end
of the trial neither Of them had lost
flesh or appetite or experienced the
slightest discomfort during the entire
period of their metallic lunch. It was
found that the metal is not adapted,
however, to contain for a long period
brandy, whisky or vine After time
these liquids turn turbid, and although
perfectless harmless are not inviting,
to say the least, although for two Or
three days journey they are not ap-
preciably acted On when carried in

A correspondent, writing to the Lon
don Electrical Engineer on the sub
ject, states that he has used cast alum
mum cooking utensils for over twelve
months and that they have given both
the cook and the consumer every salts
faction without any fear Of poisoning,
as when copper utensils were employ
ed. Dental plates are also now made
of aluminium, which, besides having
only a fraction Of the weight of gold
plate possesses the additional advdnt-
age Of producing no disagreeable taste
in the mouth.

There was but once chance for him,

made it the courier of the dessert,
where it is able to quickly traverse the
almost limitless expanse. The Arab

the ostrich to make great detours about
its nest in a circle. He chases it then
without ceasing until it is almost
there, when, worn out, it succumbs,
concealing its head in the sand in order
not to see it's enemy, or instinctively
hoping to escape danger which it
cannot see any more. This chase re-

a considerable sum, the skin makes

fond of the flesh. Besides, in spite Of
the fact that it reproduces its species
rapidly, the ostrich is all the time be-.

FIGHT WITH IA CATAM6JST.

,k.s.aHfornians Z. Desperate Encoun-
In the old Spanish town Of San Juan
Cap1stano, near San Diego, Cal, lives
b Gus Wangenheiln, a man who loves
cunning for all sorts of game. The
other day he went out to hunt doves
and rabbits on the hills back of the
old mission of San Juan. Dove hunt
ing is pretty mild pastime compared
with what was in store for Mr.. Wan
genheim. He was tramping along a
cattle path and had just fired and
missed a jack, which bounded through
an opening ahead, when he heard a
noise back of him. Turning, he found
himself face to face with a huge wild
cat. The brute had been following
him, attracted, no doubt, by the scent
of blood from the game in his pouch.
One barrel of his gun was empty, the
charge having been wasted on the rab
bit, but Wangenheim coolly proceeded
to empty the remaining load in his
gun into the hide of the wildcat. The
cat had turned partly, and the charge
of light shot struck it squarely in the
side and the brute lumbled over in its
tracks. Mr.. Wangenheim was sur
prised at the effect of his shot, for he
! had hardly expected to kill the cat
with one charge.
Dropping his gun in the path the
hunter ran to where his unexpected
prize lay and grabbed it by the hind
leg. Just at this moment he realized
that he had made a serious mistake
The cat was not dead. However, the
hunter had no time to correct the mis-
take; not even time enough to drop the
hold he had on the leg, before the
brute, recovering from it's stunned con-
dition, and, enraged to fury by the
wounds in its side, attacked him vi
ciously.
He realized that it meant a fight to
| a finish, and with the first shock of
surprise over, his courage came to him.
He is a powerful man, and he had use
| for all his strength now. Over and
over the two rolled in the path and out
into the chaparal and underbrush.
