His Landindy at Clinton Point Dousea Him
with \ Pitcher OF Hot water.

P~oCGHKEEPsIE, Aug. 2S.-W. Franklin Broth

works Of the Hudson River Stone Supply Com
pany. u New York concern. with large works
at Clinton Point, had an experience this morn
ing that was even more lively than the one he
reported to Officer MCCabe at the Hudson
River Railroad station several weeks ago, when
he said that he ran the gauntlet OF 400 angry
men at the stone crusher, who, melted by
Superintendent Harris. sought to lynch him.
This story proved TO be largely q fabrication.
Since Brothers's escape from the alleged mob a
new superintendent has displaced Harris at
Clinton Point, and Brothers has resumed work
on his contract for putting in a cable carrying
system for conveying stone from the different
sections OF the quarry to the big crusher.
Brothers came up from New York several
days ago with u new bicycle, which he showed
with much pride at the house of Mrs. Baker.
his landlady. The bicycle was very much ad-
mired. ard last night several young ladies un-
dertook TO ride IL. with u result disastrous 10
the wheel. 1t was broken. and Brothers was
much vsxed. This morning he took Mrs:
she replied hotly. Words brought on more
words. and finally Mrs. Baker was reused 10
the point OF grabbing a pitcher OF hot water.
with which she pursued Brothers. Eye"it-
nesses say that Brothers flew round and round
the house IN record-bTeaking time. but Mrs.
Baker gained on him and doused him with the
hot water.
A crowd Of employees loudly cheered Mrs.
Baker on. and when the climax came there
was a loud shout OF laughter. Brothers has
THY mounted his wheel and rode Off to find Q
Justice, breathing threats Of vengeance.

was one OF the wonders OF st. Louis during the
first years Of tho war.
His father and two brothers enlisted In the
Confederate army. and John cried to go. but. OF

wishes could not be gratihed.

Of rye, the cereal largely used abroad for bread
and at home for whiskey. is estimated as $780,

which was 20, 800. 900 bushels in 1882.
Rye Is used extensively in many European
countries, particularly in Russia, about half
the total rye used In Europe and America being
raised in Russia. An enormous quantity OF rye,
too, Is raised in Germany, and q considerable,
