ABATTlE TO THE DEATH.

An Outlaw Shot And Killed in Church,
teII Into The Arms of His Sweetheart
Weston, w. Va, Nov. s -Yes
terday morning, IN the little hamlet
Of NIuddlety, situated deep in the
moantain Businesses Of Nicholas
county, occurred a battle to the
death between United States deputy
marshals and a gang Of desperadoes'
For the past three years Milton
Hickman and his followers have
been a terror to the two Virginias,
and although pursued constantly, by
the aid of friends succeeded in evad
ing the officers. They have lootad
almost every postOfice and store on
the border, and by their daring
had so completely inundated the
natives that they through fear,
oftentimes sheltered them when
hotlv pursued. Sunday last Deputy
Marshal II. W. RAIDER and Arch
McClung ascertained that Hickman
was attending a plotracted meeting
in the village church at Muddlety,
deputized a posse Of eight Of the
more fearless mountaineers, who
quietly advanced on the church and
surrounded the edifce. Just as the
preacher was about to announce
the doxOlogy, Marshal RAIDER stepped
to the door and demanded the IN
slant surrender of Hickman. The
latter and two of his followers who
were seekers at the altar, rushed
for their Winchesters, that were
leaning against the wall and immed-
lately began firing. With the fir~t
volley Marshal RAIDER fell danger
ously wounded, but throughout the
conflict that ensued directed the
movements of the posse. Out Of
sympathy a numbor ofmountaineers
IN the congregation joined the
cause of Hickman, and, as all were
heavily armed the battle was bloody
and determined, but at the end
Hickman, who was foremost in the
fight, fell, pierced by several bullets
lie expired in the arms ofhis sweet
heart who encouraged him through
out the battle for his life and free
dom. His followers weakened i'm
and after a few strag-
Cling shots ceased firing. The out
laws were placed under arrest at
once and are in Jail at Sommeryille
the county seat. One woman in the
congregation was shot through the
neck and the arm her infant was
shot off. Besides Marshal RAIDER,
.hree members of the posse were
wounded but it is not known how

A Cure for Uonsum ption.

Official notice has been received
by the Belgian, Leon Guastian,
at San Francisco, that the minis.
ter of foreign affairs had tranP.
mitted documents concerning DR..
Joseph IIirschfelder's consnmp.
ton cure 10 the Royal Academy
of Msdicine OF Belgium, and that
the academy had commissioned DIR.
VanLalr. one of his titular mem.
beIs, to make examination. The
formula for making oxytubercu.
line, which. it is claimed. makes
consumption durable, Is briefly
stated as follows:
Veal ia soaked 10 water and it's
inice Is then boiled and filtered.
GIycerine, peptone and salt put In
the liquid, which Is made slightly
alkaline with carbonate of soda.
In this liquid the germs of tub.
ercuIosis are grown. When they
are fully developed the liquid with
the germs is boiled and filtered.
The resultant liquid Is tuberculine.
THIS tuberculiDe is the basis OF
DR.. Hirschfelder's preparation.
Peroxide OF hy drogen is added to
1t, und the mixture Is heated for
100 hours, at the end Of which
time 1t Is Oxytubercullne. This is
clanded by a eanstic solution,
aud a portion of boracic acid ia
pat into it, to keep it from decom.
posing.

doctrines advocated last year by
the populists and democrats, they
have by their unfortunate legislation
against the great mass Of the people
lost their advantage and if they are
not swept from power at next
election, it will be only because the
people will not support the I'M
democratic doctrines Of the Chicago
platform.
If Democracy were to day what
she was before her unnatural ALI
ance with populism, there would be
no power that could prevent her

The smoke has cleared from the
battle fields and the gains and the
losses can now be definitely ascer
tanned. In Virginia there was no
regularly organized fight upon the
part OF the republicans, but the re-
suit was such as to prove that the
people of Virginia are unwilling to
trust the government Of the State in
any butdemocratic hands. Were
negro suffrage eliminated or at
least restricted. there would be a
better show for the republicans
then under present conditions. So
long as there is danger Of the county
government of a number ef counties
being placed into the hands Of the
irresponsible and thriftless class,
there will be measures adopted to
prevent any such condition. The
unfortunate feature OF this condition
ofahairs Is that not emily the counties
interested but the entire state is
more or less affected by it. In
former times, there was a sanchty
about our elections which is rapidly
disappearingaad with each succeed
ing year, the number who are will
ling to barter the greahst right Of
frcemen fora small consideration Is
rapidly increasing.
The greatest loss to the democrat
lie party is the result in the State Of
Maryland, one Of the Staunch-
est OF democratic States has
been placed in the republican
column. For this change two rea
sons are given, one that there was
bitter opposition to the intollerant
bosHsm Of Mr.. German, and another
that the doctrines enunciated by the
Chicago convention especially the
free silver plank caused many demo
Gratis to vote with the opposition.
Whatever may have been the
oau.e, it is a great loss to the demo
cratic party.
In New York the democrats
were successful. So many issues are
involved in the local fights in New
York that a victory to either party
means but little. Itmay be reversed
at the next election.
The strong republican state of
Ohio was barely saved to that party,
while Kentucky is safely democratic.
Iowa is strongly republican while
Nebraska goes with the democratic.
populist fusion, is said by a de-
creased majority.
While the times have to some
extent, improved in spite of the
calamity howlers, it is evident that
the great mass of the people do not
attribute this Improvement to re
publican legislation. The republi-
cans have not proved themselves
worthy. While they succeeded in
rescuing the county from the ruinouS

The list of pensioners has been
greatly increased during the last
year. Notwithstanding the number
Of deaths during the year the pen
sion list is much larger than at the
beginning Ii is astonishing how
patriotism increases as time carries
the patriots further from the field OF
carnage. If the present rate OF
increase continues, it is probable
that our children, in future ages,

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 21-The efforts of
the professional traders to work re-ac-
ton in the bull stock market again pro-
we'd abortive to-day and the result OF
the days trading shows net gains iu
the majority of standard shares. Inc
recent order of things was somewhat re-
yersed in that the sagging tendency OF
prices came early in the day and IT was
overcome later by the rally. Perhaps
the most ominOus circumstance Of the
davis market was the fact that the deal
ipgs sank into a condition Of almost total
apathy with prices tending upward Dull
ness on 4 decline is the technical evil
dence Of an undertone Of strength. Dull
ness on q rise is the evidence thar prices
have reached stage where dealers do
not care to put money into them as
speculation. There was, however, DO
measure to sell stocks. The lower
prices at the opening came in face of
some slight Improvements in London,
where, however, the dealiass were al
most staxnant. Later in the day Lon
don was a buyer and was n factor IN
rallying the marke.. The effective in
strument in effecting the early decline
was the talk Of large gold shipments
later in the week To-morrow's ship
ments were not increased over the ST.
$50, 900 announced last week. The tone
Of exchange was firm, but the market
was SO exceedingly quiet that apprehen-
sions as to the volume of exports subsi-
ded to large extent. The quietness
of the exchange was attributed partly
TO the jubilee holiday in London. 1t Is
believed that shipment Of gold OF quite
large dimensions will be made before
the end of the week. The immediate
impetus to the rally in the market came
from the strength in the Vanderbilts.
This commenced in the Northwest on
the talk of the progress being made in
the plan to refund the bonds of this
road in way to benefit the stock. The
improvement in Omaha was due to SYM
pathy with Northwest, which owns con-
trolling interest in Omaha. Both stocks
We're helped by the general strength in
the Granger group on crop prospects.
The favorable showing of New York
Central for the quarter with a surplus
earned of $256,000 against deficit for
the same period last year of $1O7 ,OO2,
broadened the demand for the Wander
