The Amazons of old would never
have become extinct had they been
armed with the weapon of a modern
woman-a hat pin. Mrs. Samuel
Frame, wife of the sheriff of Warren
county, Indiana, proved the efficacy Of
this pointed terror the other day when
she drove off highwaymen who had at
tackled her husband. Reld robbers and
bold lovers alike have grown to re-
apect the hat pin.

Feud Time in Kentuckx.
with apologies to j. w. Riley)

-
From the Bismarck Tribune.
When the dew is on the mountain and
the corn is in the still,
When the feudist stalks the feudist
through the valley, DER the hill,
When the red is on the forest and the
amber's in the wine,
When the autumn zephyrs whisper
through the forests leaf and vine
Through the mountains of Kentucky
there's a man behind each rock.
With his finger on the trigger and his
cheek against the stock.
When the bead is on the moonshine
and the summer wanes to fall,
Then the feudist takes his rifle from its
nail upon the wall,
Seeks him out a trusty shelter in the
thicket by the road
Puts funnel in the muzzle and pours
home a heavy load.
Oh, the undertaker's busy when the
man behind the rock
Gets his finger on the trigger and his
face against the stock.
When the crack is in the rifle and the
smoke is in the blue.
There is always something hasty for
the coroner to do
All the bards obituary find a keen de-
mand for verse,
And there's grease upon the axle of the
melancholy hearse;
For death invades the temple, never
stopping once to knock,
When the fingers on the trigger and
the cheeks against the stock.
So prithee, traveller. listen: When the
brown is on the hill,
When the dew is on the mountain and
the corn is in the still.
The game laws up on tourists and the
undertaker's van
Is always on the hurry bringing in the
punctured man;
For it's Feud-time in Kentucky, every
rifle is at cock,
And the fingers on the trigger and the
cheeks against the stock.

Anything relating to Sir Thomas
Upton is now timely. so the New York
Herald again prints that story about
the baronet buying extensive lands in
Georgia for fruit culture, making his
residence in Atlanta, equipping a line
CT steamships and freighting fruit
across the Atlantic for sale in London.
This story is an old favorite. 1t was
sweet to our ears for possibly the
dozen times we listened to it, particu-
larly as Georgia was TO be benefited
through the wealth and enterprise of
Sir Thomas and Savannah was to be
the port through which his shipments
would be made. Two or three years
ago, as Sir Thomas seemed in no hurry
to plant his fruit trees or secure his
steamers, the story began to grow
stale. We suppose it must be recog-
rized as one of the stock stories of Lip
ton, however, and that we may rea-
sonably expect it to reappear regular
ly with his efforts to lift the cup.

Enforce the Law.
rhc State, Sth inst.

Two dlspensarY cOnstables were
arrested by the United States
marshal in Charleston yesterday
and were thrown INTO jail in de
fault of $4,000 bond each. 1t is
probable that three othors will be
arrested on a similar proceeding,
and the action of the prosecutors
has created quite a sensation.
All the trouble arises from
difficulty which the constables had
with lHw-hreakors by the name
Of Wieters, men who claim that
they arc not naturallzed citizens,
and have brought suit for dam
ages in the federal court and have
also instituted criminal proceed,
ings in the same court. Action
of n criminal nature has been
brought IN the state courts and
the grand jury HIS returned Il
true bill in each Of the several
courts.
Governor Hayward was annoy
ed last week because in the case
OF Mi William Lykcs against
| ChicCo's driver; the Indictment
was thrown out by the grand Jury
while on the other hand true bills
under several counts were brought
in against the constablcs, who
had the fight with the Wieters
people.
The first action brought by
Wieters was q civil suit for $40,
600 damages against the consta,
hles, md in addition they have
been arrested by tho United
States marshal and are now in
Jail in Charleston in default of
&5, 600 bond each.
GOV. lIEyWAED' 5 SETTLEMENT.
The governor said last night:
'l found the law upon the books
and under my oath of Office it is
my duty to enforce it. Charles
ton is treated like any other part
of the State. The only way to
cndoavor to enforce the law in
Charleston is to order the chief to
raid suspected places, for the
Ijuries refuse TO find true bills.
At the present term of court
the grand jury threw ont the bin
against a negro driver in Chicco's S
employ, who was charged with
assault in driving over one of the
constablcs acting in the discharge
of his duties. Mr.. Lykes was
.
seriously injured, and it was
feared at one time that he would
die.

0eals With Methods q Trsatmsnt.
According to the following from
Fridays issue Of the New York Com
mercial. the long deferred report CT
John Hays Hammond on the Tono-
pah company's property has been sub
mitted. and. compared with what was
expected, it does not amount to much,
either. The paper says:
From q source unbeatable author;-
tative it was learned today that the
long expected report by John Hays
Hammond regarding the properties Ct
the Tonopah Mining company has
been submitted TOR the consideration
Of the directors OF that company, des-
pite the semi-onicial denial Of that
fact made a few days ago. The re-
port, however, according to that same
authority, is not what has been expec-
ted for the past four months, but a
statement showing the best system
adaptable for the treatment of the
ore.
Some five months ago the report
was diligently circulated that Mr.. HaE,-
mond was preparing an exhaustive
report upon the properties CONTROL ~
by the Tonopah Mining Company 1t
Tonopah, New, and with which large
! eastern interests have been connect
ed. It was asserted that Mr. Hammond
/ after submitting the report and tell
i ing about the enormous ore reserves
contained in that property, would
have a heart to heart talk with the
MIR. Hammond any question upon the
, stockholders. The privilege Of asking
property was to be granted to those at
/. tending the meeting.
Great preparations were made to
receive this report. Mr.. Hammond
p, however, was at this juncture taker
seriously i'll and obliged to retire te
his country home for q much needed
rest, he having previously comples
ed an extensive tour Of some Of the
mining districts of the west and Mex
leo. At unexpected intervals someone
would revive the rumor that the re
port was to be submitted shortly, an:
denials would have to he made. Thi
This state of affairs continued unit
the possibility of it's ever being mad
began to be doubted.
LAS the matter stands now, how
ever, it would seem that Mr.. Han
mond never intended to submit a r,
port as compile xas he was reporte
as having in preparation. His last tri
to Tonopah was made largely with
view Of ascertaining the character {
the ore found there and having sun
lcient experimental tests made to
able to determine what would const
