Horse and Buggy Stolen.
This noon N. Tobey, an architect of
this city, left his horse and buggy in
front of Adoue & Lobit’s bank while
he went inside on business. On his
return the outfit was gone. Mr. Tbbey
and V. C. Hart commenced a search of
the city and at about. 2.30 found the
horse, buggy, whip, laprobe and gloves
in the alley between Market and Post-
office and Twenty-sixth and Twenty-
seventh streets. The harness was gone.
A search of the pawnshops discovered
the harness at 2610 Market street.
The proprietress said she had let the
man who bought it in have $2 50; that
he called yesterday, said his horse had
died and that he wanted to sell the
harness; he gave his name and address.
The woman refused to give up the har-
ness unless she was paid $1, which
amount Mr. Tobey refused to produce,
not because of the amount, he said, but
on principle. The man who pawned
the harness has not yet been found.

Order at Bluefields.
Washington, D. C.. Nov. 15.—Dr.
Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister, has
received reports from Bluefields in-
dicating a satisfactory settlement of
troubles afflicting the Mosquito reser-
vation. On September 29 a new con-
stitution was proclaimed firmly assert-
ing Nicaraguan supremacy there, and
Cabez, as the first constitutional govern-
or, was formally installed in office. All
signs of opposition have disappeared
and American residents voluntarily
gave adhesion.
The British warship Mohawk took
no notice of the observances, but the
United States steamer Marblehead
fired a salute of 19 guns.
The National Grange.
Springfield, Ill., Nov. 15.—The Na-
tional Grange convention to-day was
presided over by George Austin of
Bowen, Conn. Large gains in member-
ship in all states are reported.
Bible Students Ill.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 15.—Twenty
students of the Bible college of the
Kentucky university are seriously ill
with typhoid fever, caused by drinking
impure water. There have been three
deaths within a week.
THURSDAY EVENING. NOV. 15. 1891. □
Amalgamation Proposed.
New Orleans, La., Nov. 15.—The
Knights of Labor were in session three
hours to-day, adjourning just before 1
o’clock. They will meet again this af-
ternoon. The morning session was
consumed in listening to an address by
George Howard, vice president of the
American Railway union, who was
specially invited to attend the session.
A proposition was presented for the
consolidation of all labor organi-
zations of the country under a. single
board of management and with an
amalgamation of interest. Howard
believes if such a plan is adopted labor
will be benefitted and be in a position
to more completely have wrongs re-
dressed and more speedily obtain its
rights.
Grand Master Sovereign also spoke
in favor of the plan proposed by
Howard, which he recommended as
possessing elements of advantage that
it will not be well to overlook.
No business was transacted during
the session but there was a general dis-
cussion on the proposition of Howard.
Hadn’t Paid Tlielr Dues.
Pittsburg, Pti., Nov. 15.—“The true
inwardness of the shutting out of the
miners’ delegates from ihe Knights of
Labor convention in New Orleans,”
says the Chronicle-Telegraph, “is well
known here. It was their plan to join
forces with the Powderly delegates,
thus gaining control of the convention.
James Campbell, ex-president of the
Window Glass Workers’ association,
was to be elected general master
workman, and Robert Watchem, state
factory inspector of Pennsylvania,
national secretary-treasurer, thus
completely shutting out the present
administration, but the secretary-
treasurer has looked over the books
and found that the local assemblies
composing National Trades assembly
No. *135, which the miners’ delegates
represented, had not paid dues for two
years past. Armed with this informa-
tion he went into the convention and
broke up the plans of the opposition
by unseating the miners’ delegates on
these grounds.”_______
A Strike Echo.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 15.—J. E.
Egan, editor of the Carbon county
journal, E. T. Burks, district court
clerk of Carbon county, and City Mar-
shal Healey of Rawlins, have been ac-
acquitted in the United States district
court of the charge of interfering with
the Union Pacific receivers during the
railroad strike.
Weavers to Return.
Pawtucket, R. I., Nov. 15. — The
striking weavers at Lorraine mills,
who have been out since October 2,
voted last night to return next Mon-
day. It is claimed by the management
that employes, by the introduction of
an improved loom, will be able to earn
more than before the cut.
A Betrayer to Die.
London, Nov. 15.—The trial of James
Reed for the murder of Florence Den-
nis, a young woman he ruined, has re-
sulted in a death sentence upon the
prisoner. ___

“No, sir. I can’t have no disorderly
conduct here.”
“Waz’er dishorderly conduct fur my
gran’fazzer to fight'er British at Lun-
dy’s Lane?”
“That’s nothing to do with it. You’d
better go on and keep quiet.”
“Waz’er dishorderly conduct fur my
gran’fazzer to shed his blood at Mon-
mouth? Now then—altogether—hip,
hip-!”
“If you don’t keep quiet I’ll run you
in!” interrupted the officer.
“Can’t I holler jess once fur York-
town?”
.“No, sir!”
“Can’t I give one lizzie yell fur Cow-
pens an’ King’s mountain?”
“No, sir!”
The man looked around in a helpless
way for a minute, and then began to
remove his coat.
“Here, what are you doing?” asked
the officer.
“I want to deliver an address to ’er
Goddess of Liberty. Best—address you
ever heard. Alius makes everybody
go home happy.”
“You can't do it!”
“Can’t I shing shong ’bout George
Wash’ton crossing ’er Delaware?”
“No, sir!”
“Can’t I shing shong of ’er Star
Spangled Banner?”
“No, sir! You must go on or I shall
have to lock you up!”
Feller-patriots, you shee how ’er is!”
said the man, as he looked around at a
pedestrian who had come up. “Your
gran’fazzer an’ my gran’fazzer poured
out ’er blood on a dozen battlefields of
’er revolushun zhat you an’ I might be
free. Poured out ’er blood. Wasn’t
bit stingy wiz ’er blood. Starved, an’
suffered, an’ died zhat we might be free
an’ have fun. But are we free? Can I
hip-hip-hur----!”
“I see I'll have to take you in,” in-
terrupted the officer, as he seized his
arm.
“Didn’t I tell you sho?” asked the
patriot, as he looked about him. “Our
gran’fazzers poured ’er blood, but it
was no use. Blood all wasted. Ng
good. Tyrant right here wiz his heel
on ’er neck of liberty jus’ ’er same!”
“Come on!” said the officer.
“Goin’ take me to 'er stashun?”
“Yes.”
“Goin’ to lock me up?”
“Yes.” ’
“All rize! Thought there was ’er bird
of liberty, but there isn’t. Thought
there was Star Spangled Banner, but
there isn’t. Thought there was pa-
triotism, but there isn’t. All a mis-
take! Gran’fazzer poured out his blood
f’r nozzing. Wash’ton crossed ’er Del-
aware f’r nozzing. Boston throwec
tea overboard f’r nozzing. No use—all
gone—take me away!”
’ And as the officer led him to the sig-
nal-box to summon the patrol wagon
he wiped his weeping eyes on the loose
end of his necktie and murmured:
“Good-bye, old bird of liberty—fare-
well thou Star Spangled Banner! You
shee how it is, an’ I hope you’ll ’scuse
me. I’ll shee you later—shee you next
Christmas!”—Detroit Free Press.

shire, the river reached the highest

Dispatches from Dover say the gale
is blowing with renewed violence.
Several ships have been washed ashore
along that portion of the coast. The
floods in Sussex are increasing. Many
houses at Windsor and Eton have
been flooded. At Worthington, Sussex,
the bodies of seven drowned sailors
have been washed ashore.
—Elvina and Elmira Fife, twin sis-
ters, who will soon celebrate their
eighty-third birthday in Petersboro, N.
II., have never ridden on a railroad
train, and declare they never will. At
the age of fourteen years they entered
the employ of a local manufacturer, on
whose pay-roll they remained for sixty
years.
—“You are never too old to ride a
bicycle,” says a professor of the art of
bicycling. “There are bicyclers who
are between 60 and 70 years of age, and
I can tell you of some who are over 80.
One of the best bicyclers in town has
got beyond his 65th birthday and he is
bald as a drum, too, but can beat most
riders of 20 or 30. An old wag on his
machine scooting along a level road
under a full head of wind is a sight to
behold.”—N. Y. Sun.

proud old bell of Liberty which is
borne to your ears on the midnight air!

“Isn’t this the land of the free?”
“It’s the land of the free right

The Denver Strangler.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 15.—Although
many detectives are working upon the
Market street strangling cases the
strangler is still at large, and the ter-
ror-stricken female denizens of the row
to which his operations so far have
been confined are making preparations
to move. Several have already left
the city.
Richard Domany, whose mistress,
Lena Tapper, was the strangler’s first
victim, is held under $5000 bail on sus-
picion. The police hold the theory
that he murdered Lena Tapper and
then killed Marie Contasset because
she could give damaging testimony
against him, and finally strangled
Kiku Oyama in order to divert sus-
picion from himself.
