DisorderIy Woman.

A woman has for the past ten days
terrorized the farmers Of lower BOtetourt
and Rockbridge counties, Va. She wanders
about the country leading a horse by
rope, though the animal is bridled and
saddled, and three huge dogs follow her.
She levies tribute for herself and horse
aud dogs at whatever farmhouse she
may reach at the time of hunger or
camping, and abundantly provides for
her horse from whatever corn crib may
be nearest. At night she usually puts
her horse in some barn or stable and
finds rest for herself in the hay and the
dogs keep watch through the night.
One farmer, near Buchanan, Directing
to the woman making free use Of his
feed, ordered her away. She refused to
go and he started for the horse to lead
him away. whereupon she drew two big
pistols and dared him to touch the
animal. Where the woman comes from
nobody knows. She claims that her
name is Bessie Hatfield aud that she be-
longs TO the notorious Kentucky family
of that name. She says her father is a
horse trader, selling horses somewhere
In Virginia and that she is trying to
overtake him. As she has been ten
DAYS in the same neighborhood little
credence is placed in her story. She
calls herself COW woman and holds
farmers in great contempt as compared
70 cowboys. She is apparently OF middle
age and has short curly hair.

The New York stock Market.

New York. Oct. 20--There was less in
tensity in the activity Of the market, but a
good deal Of irregulariiy was developed. The
Developments over night were not sufficiently
important TO stimulate activity on the part Of
operators. The opening was irregular. Prices
then strengthened and there were subsequent
mesh rccc@ions. At the beginning Of the
second hour. while prices were still somewhat

sion sill prevails that the bull interests are
sufficiently powerful to prevent any sharp de-
