gus, and well-known democratic poll
tician, was cowhided by Mrs. Sarah G..
Brady at Frankfort, Ky., on Saturday.
Mrs. Brady ia grass widow, who went
there a few years ago from an Ohio
town, and she and her sister are dress
makers.
Fridays Argus came out with an
anonymous article in regard to the
parties in a certain locality alleging
that citizens had caused them to move
from the neighhorhood. The article
was sufficiently plain to indicate Mrs.
Brady was the person referred to.
She armed herself with a rswhide

and as he did so the infuriated woman
sprang forward and pelted him furi-
ously over the head and face. Nc.
Donald fually pushed the woman from
his doorstep and she fell upon the
pavement, cutting her head severely.
She was arrested and at the police
station declared nat she was glad of
what she had done aud would do so
again.

BEARS RAID A CORN FIELD.-Not
since the pioneer days of Wetzel and
Boone has there been such a wholesale
slaughter of bear in Virginia as has just
occurred in the suburbs of Mcdowell,
small town in Highland county. The
boldness of the big game is due to the
almost enlirs absence OF mast, which
has forced all kinds of game to seek food
in the open fields. Mr.. A. Il. Jones
went to his corn field, about half
mile from Mcdowell early on Saturday
morning, and was surprised to find four
bears helping themselves to the corn.
He hurried back to the village, and in
brief time the greater part Of the male
population was at the corn field, when
it was found that bruins ranks had
been REINFORCED by four others, max
ing eight in and around the field. Two
of them were quickly shot, FIVE of the
cubs taking to trees close by, and the
eighth, supposed the mother of some of
the cubs, made for the n ountains. The
five were soon brought from their iE-
secure retreat in the trees, which made
a total of seven killed. At last accounts
a party was in pursuit of the eighth.
The she bear killed was &C unusually
large one, and the cubs would weigh
perhaps seventy.fve pounds each.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The St. James
Gazette this afternoon says: ut is clear
that no concession we can make, and
no display, however sincere, of our
wish to be friendly, has availed one jot
to disarm the bitter hostility OF those
Americans who are always ready for ag-
gressive action. Neither is there a
shred of evidence to show that the cold,
passive dislike which so many Ameri-
cans who are friendly enough to the in
dividual Englishman feel for the Brit
ish government, has been warmed in
the least degree. The persistent nurs-
ing of the Behring Sea dispute is in it.
self a fact which we and the other
governments interested in America
must take note as good reason for clear
ing our minds and preparing for serious
practical action"

lust across the river from Indiana, in
which State some white thieves were
recently lynched with immunity. In

rage, tried to murder. When, before
emancipation, inevitable death by burn
ing would have been the immediate
penalty of such crime in the South, as
the criminal could not have then es-
capped, such a crime was unheard ofin
all this section. 1t has been developed
