There are in the orchards ~ the farm

plum trees. and 10 acres Of peach trees.
The herd Of mich cows on the farm
numbers 800 and the product of the
creamery is about 300 pounds Of butter

farm there are more than 200 beef
cattle.
These figures convey some idea of the
magnitude of the operations that are
conducted on the ranch. The work has

WOMEN CLIMB A TREE.
Narrowly Escape Being Gored by Z
Mad Bull.

New York. Sept. 5.-Mrs. Frank Dodg,
and Miss Ethel F4frchild came near be-
ing gored to death, by an infuriated bull
yesterday afternoon. The women re
ceived such shock that they are con
fined to their homes It is feared tha,
they will both be stricken with nervous
prostration
Mrs Dodge is the wife of the scenic
artist of the Herald Square Theater
Their summer home is on the Sound.
Miss Fairchild, of New York. is the
guest of Mrs. Dodge.
Mrs. Dodge and Miss Fairchild were
walking in the woods and were passing
through Winyah Park when they saw
a large Holstein bull in one corner of
the lot, The bull, which was the prop
erty of Farmer Walsh was tethered to
a tree. The animal had about fifty foot
OF rope. one end of which was tied to
ring in his nose.
The women, walking leisurely. passed
within lOO yards of the bull. They had
not the slightest fear, for they knew the
beast was tied
Miss Fairchild stopped to look at the
Dull. who caught sight of the red ribbons
and howers on her hat. The bull. who
hau Deen maddened by the heat, rushed
toward the women with such force
that he broke the steel chain which
bound him. Finding it was at liberty
the beast pursued the women at
oreakneck pace. believing angrily. The
women ran for their lives
Miss FairchiId realized that in a few
moments the brute would overtake
them. She could only see one way to
avoid death-that was climb a tree. and
wait until the bull had passed. Miss Fair
child yelled to Mrs. Dodge to climb one
OF the small cedar trees which are
numerous in that vicinity
Gathering up her skirts, Miss Fair
child started to ascend one of the young
cedars. She proceeded with great
rapidity, and in moment was out of the
bulls reach. Mrs. Dodge mad no more
than secluded herself in the boughs of
a cedar than the bull came tearing
along. Had the women not succeeded in
their first attempt to climb the tree they
would have been caught by the bull and
probably gored 10 death
The beast stood believing at the foot
of the tree in which Mrs. Dodge had
sought refuge. He gored the trunk of
the young cedar, and came near shaking
the woman 10 the ground.
Miss Fairchild's screams for help
brought Farmer Lawrence to their res
cue. The beast was beaten off with a
pitchforil. Miss Fairchild and Mrs.
Dodge climbed down out OF their po-
sitions and were taken home.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY SURE.
MIR. SuIzer Predicts Triumph All
Along the Line.

New York, Sept. 6.-The Journal this
morning contains a statement from Rep
resentative William SuIzer, who is a can
didate from this city for the Democratic
gubernatoriaI nomination. in which that
gentleman predicts victory all along
the line in this State in the coming au-
tumn elections. The party. he says is
united and harmonious and will make an
aggressive and successful campaign.
''The people of New York he says, ARE
sick and tired of Republican corruption
false pretense. chicanery and maladmin-
istration. They want change. and they
are going to have a change. AS Mr..
Croker said the other day. The people
viii not be deceived this tini. No hum
bug or clap-trap can cloud the issues "
The people are going to decide this con-
test for themselves. and they are going
to decide it on the issues the Republicans
have made.
The Republican party has run the
State into debt millions and millions of
dollars, without excuse or without re-
suits; has doubled and almost trebled the
tax rate; has unnecessarily appropria ted
money for almost every useless or un-
necessary purpose. and has given the peo-
pie a narrow minded, illiberai, bigoted
and partisan administration of State af-
fairs.
Owing to the recent war, many of the
Republican jobs and schemes have es-
capped public attention. criticism and con-
demnation. But now that the war is
over the consideration or the people will
turn to their own affairs at home, and
the scandals, the steals and the corrup-
ton of the Republican administration
viii be exposed and laid bare"
Mr.. Sulzer further says: This canal
issue alone unobscured by any other, is
sufficient to consummate a political revo-
luton In State affairs. But there are
other issues just as important, just as
grave and just as serious. The odious
and undemocratic Raines law: the Adj
rondack forest frauds; the absurd, uncon-
stitutional and partisan force bill, which
seeks to intimidate and coerce the honest
citizenship of Greater New York and ter
rorize voters in order to perpetuate the
Republican party in power.
This force law is an insult to the hon
est citizens of Greater New York. and
from my knowledge of the people I feel
confident they will resent this political
discrimination for partisan purposes.
which the Republican party has leveled
against their elective franchise.
'Then there are the militia affairs OF
the State The people will want to know
what have become of the million dollars
appropriated for the volunteers Why
were they not equipped? Why were they
not fed? Why were they allowed to sick
en- and die in the State camp, within the
shadow of the State House?
This official incompetency and negli-
oant criminality in the treatment of our
heroic volunteers Is a black blot on the
fair record of the Empire State. Some
one blundered, and the blunder was
xrnrsa than a crime.

Cincinnati. Sept 6.-The Middle-of-the
road Populists in their national convention
here yesterday developed quite a variety
Of differences of opinions. While there
was considerable business done in the way
of appointing committees on credentials,
rules, permanent organizat ton. etc, there
was also considerable pickering. Speeches
from several of the delegates were de-
cidedly in favor OF separate action and
against fusion with the other parties. but
they showed that the sentiment in this
respect was not universal
The star orator of the occasion was Ig-
natius Donnelly. who was chosen tenn
porary chairman. He made a radical
speech. advocating reorganization of the
POpulist party and severely denounced
Gen. Wheeler and all other leaders who
had co-operated for fusion with the Dem
ocrats. He referred to Grover Cleveland
as traitor 10 the Democratic party and
Senator Butler as a traitor 10 the Popu-
list party. He was especially severe in
denOuncing Senator Butler as a man who
reached an exalted position by conniv-
ing with the Republicans for his election
to the Senate, and who now. under in
structiOns from W. ]. Bryan, Is connivins
with the Democrats
There was very much confusion in the
convention. the proceedings of which do

deputies proceeded to Schmidts house,
and saw the murderer sitting calmly in
his front yard, with his rifle leaning
against the door, several yards from him.
Schmidt had announced that he would
not be taken alive and the sheriff, halt
ing his deputies at the front gate, called
on him to give himself up. For answer
the murderer ripped out a string of oaths
and started loward his rifle.
There was a simultaneous outpouring of
Winchesters, and Schmidt raised his
hands above his head and fell by the side
of the gun which he reached too late. The
body was turned over TO friends of the
murderer and quickly inferred.
A remarkable feature of the case was
the action of the women in Scotland and
vicinity, most of them wives of lumber
men who had received many kindnesses
at the hands of the Hoffmans. AS soon
as they heard of the murder they assem-
bled in the village, and after some debate
they decided that the law of the county
would be TOO slow to adequately ayenge
the crime, and decided to take the mat
ter into their own hands.
Female Lynching Posse.
A crowd of the most courageous got to-
gether and expressed the determination
to go to the home of the murderer, take
him from his house at whatever cost and
lynch him.
They had started on their way, despite
the efforts of their more timid sisters to
discourage them. when the were met by
the members of the sheriffs posse, who
assured them that they work they in
tended to do had already been well done.
Mrs Hoffman and her daughter were
prostrated by the news of the terrible
tragedy They had received a letter from
the elder Hoffman only few days before
and were expecting him home in a short
time
Arrangements for the funeral were
completed last night. The remains of
father and son will be taken from Lees
undertaking rooms at o'clock this af-
