A Woman'N Startling Olseovery.
Atchison, Kan , Oct. 20. Ten masked
men broke into Mrs. Harry Valcott's
home, in West Atchison, last evening and
assau ted F. M. Fowler, a young lawyer
who whs calling there. Fowler urew a
revolver, but before be could use it the
mob ovemowered and earned bim into
'the yard, shouting, "Hang mm to an
electric light pole." Fowler, who is a
powerful man, freed his right arm and
knocked two of the men down. The
ne.tjhbors began to congregate and the
rest of the mob fled. One of them cut
Fowler on the hand with a knife. As
tbev ran awav. Mrs. Walcott tore the
mask from the fares ot two men, and rec
os-nized her hnsband. against whom she
l.Hg a suit for divorce, and a mnn named
William Lutz. Fowler is Mrs Walcoit'e
attorney. Walcott is at the head of a tin
roof m an u factoring ettablishment. H
admitted that he led the mob, but sad it
was for the purpose of getting evidence
of bis wife s mbdelitv rather than to in
iu-e Dowler. Mrs. walcott ana rowier
denv that their conduct has been im
proper. Fowler says he went to the
bouse to give Mrs. Wa'coit a check for
alimony, recenll7 allowed by the district
court and given to him for that pnrpose
bv Walcott. Mr. and Airs. Walcott were
married five years ago,' and separated last
July.
Through, a 1egal Point.
Salem, Oct. 21 The jury this morn
ing returned a verdict hnding John a.
Dove not guilty of the crime of burning
the steamer R. C. Young for the purpose
of delrauding insurance companies. This
verdict wag given on a point of jurisdic
tion, it not having been eMablisbej that
the vessel was burned in Marion county.
It was fired on the Polk county side, and
Captain Dove and two others were tried
here for the crime under a code which
savs that where a river is the boundary
line of a lurisdtction, either county ex
tends for a mile toward the opposite
shore. This seems to be in opposition to
the constitution, and the case raises an
important point. Dove once made a
confession of bis guilt, and one man, in-?
dieted tor the same crime, goes to prison
for three years, and a third is yet to be
tried. The arrest ot these men was ac
complished by Detective McCarthy in
the interest of the insurance companies.
Abraham Lincoln's Tutor.
Paris, 111., Oct. 21 Dennis F. Hanko,
the early tutor of Abraham Lincoln, died
at 1 p. m. to day at the residence of bis
daughter, Mrs. Nancy Swoafl, in this city.
aged 93 years, 4 months and 6 days. He
was born near Hodginsville, Harding
county, Ky., May 15, 1799. Abraham
Lincoln was a native of the same county,
and be and Mr. Hanks were boys to
gether. Subsequently, Thomas Lincoln,
the lather of the martyred president, and
Hanks moved to Spencer county, Ind.
While living in the latter county Hanks
taught Abraham .Lincoln to read and
write. After the two families removed to
Illinois he continued to be the invaluable
adviser of Mr. Lincoln, and this friend
ship continued to the time of tbe presi
dent s death. Mr. Hanss received an in
jury September 22 by being run over by
buggy. But for this he might have
rounded out tbe century.
Destructive Storms.
London. Oct. 21. A ' dispatch from
Capliari, on the island of Sardinia, says a
terrible storm is raging in tbe southern
part of tbe island. Tbe lagoons on tbe
west and east sides ot tbe city have re
ceived an immense quantity of muddy
water from tbe bills. The railway Is
covered with water and many telegraph
poles have been broken down. At De-
clmemannu, s village about 10 miles
northwest of Caglian, eight bouses were
nnderminded and ruined by torrents of
water ponnog upon them. Not less than
100 buildings have fallen in Elmaa. At
Assemin, eight miles by rail from Cag
lian, a large number of bouses are in a
dangerous conditon and threaten to col
lapse at any moment. A number of per
sons are known to baye been drowned.
Clreat Northern at the Summit.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 21 Tbe track of
tbe Great Northern railroad will be con
nected at tbe summit of the Cascade
mountains before December 1, according
to Principal Assistant Engineer Stevens,
wbo arrived here to night. Grading and
bridging on tbe west are to be completed
in 20 days, and the switch-back is getting
along rapidly. Tbe track passed Wenat-
bee, 55 miles from the summit, Monday,
and track laying was resumed on tbe
west section to-day. There are 83 miles
to lay to meet tbe gang from the east.
Tbe company will not let the snow delay
tbe completion of tbe line, if it comes
early, which is not likely, bnt will shovel
brough it. x
Mrs. Karri son's Condition.
Washington, Oct. 21. Dr. Gardner
visited the bedside of Mrs. Harrison this
morning, and afterward said to an Asso
ciated Press correspondent that it was
merely a question of time, but whether
hour or days can only be determined
by events. It is said tbe disease is now
maKing rapid progress in the left lung

There is a weaker pulse, feebler respira
tion, temperature 103, coughing spells
more frequent, followed bv periods of
great exhaustion, from which she rallies

ful and very nervous dunng a greater
part of the night, but seemed a trifle
more comfortable this morning. '
Hatters in Idaho.
Boise, Oct. 20 The stock inspector
went to Emmett to day, baying been in
formed that glanders was prevalent
among tbe horses worked on the big Pay
ette irrigation canal. Several thousand
valuable horses are being worked by tbe
ditch contractors, and if glanders should
become epidemic tbe loss would be very
heavy. Inspector Clark will critically
examine the afflicted animals, and if he
discovers they have glanders be will bave
tbem immediately killed, and will take
other steps to prevent a spread of tbe
disease

A. Woman s Anger,
Makshfield, Or., Oct. 23, Tbe
church goiog community of this place
was highly shocked this morning by Mrs.
Dr. Evans, a popular society lady of this
place, horse whipping Ellis Jones, a har
ness maker and leader ot the Methodist
church choir. It occurred in front of the
Methodist church, just after the morning
service bad closed, and in the presence of
the entire congregation. Mrs. Evans had
prepared herself for the occasion. She
waited fully an hour for Jones to come
out, and so soon as be was out of tbe
door she commenced with her cowhide.
Jones took bis medicine like a man, never
offering to strike ber, nor to take away
the whip, and guarded off tbe blows with
his bands. His stiff bat was btoken in
the frav and be received several blows on
the bead. Jones has of late been keepmg
company with Mrs. .vans sister, Mies
Scott, and it- was this act that brought
about tbe actions of Mrs. Evans, wbo has
protested against bis keeping her com
pany, and on a previous occasion, at a
social in the Catholic church, she made an
attempt to assault Jones. Nevertheless,
with all ber objections, Jones still kept
tbe company of Miss Scott, who came
out of church with him and witnessed tbe
actions ot her enraged sister, and walked
home with him after it was over. Jones
is a quiet, peaceable young man and beld
in high esteem in Marshneld society.

assistance was called and be was brought

Hurled Sixty Feet.
Spokane, Wash., Oct. 24 One of tbe
most appalling accidents in the history of
Washington railroads occurred this morn
ing at tbe point where tbe Great North
ern railroad crosses tbe Wenatcbee river
the second time. The bridge over that
stream collapsed while a construction
train was crossing. Seven men were
killed outright, five fatally injured, and
six others were so seriously hurt that
some of tbem may die.
Tbe calamity came without warning.
and while the men were hard at work,
unmindful of their danger. The bridge
began first to totter, and before thev
could run to tbe other end -of the struct
ure it collapsed, carrying tbem into tbe
river, 60 feet below. Tbere were six flat
cars ana aa engine on tne bridge at the
time, but fortunately the engine was not
coupled to tbe cars. Had it been the ac
cident would bave been all tbe more ap
palling, . lor tome of tbe injured would
bave been killed by a slow and horrible
death ot roasting against tbe hot boiler.
Tbe construction crew reached tbe east
end of the bridge Sunday night, and
when work was stopped it was the inten
tion of Superintendent Ferrel, wbo had
charge of tbe , crew, to push the track-
laying beyond the bridge tbe following
day.

A Work of Meohanical Skill.
The wood work in the store of Mr. An'
drew Keller, was done by Mr. Franois Ross,
whiob, for mechanical skill, cannot be ex- '
celled anywhere. In making tbe counters
Mr. Rosa 'has displayed a high degree of
skill and artistio taste, wbiob is rarely ex
celled. ' The top of these is made or native -timber,
with no embellishment except fill
ing and varnish, and the column support
ing it are fluted and ornamented with scroll
work, while the panel partake of the same
design, with beautifully finished capitals,
cornice and frieze. In then unity
of conception and eompletene them coun
ters indicate artistio mechanism, and being
the individual handiwork of this gentleman
are lasting monuments to hi skill. The
shelviug is equally artistio, and merits the
same compliment aa the other portion just
mentioned. In every joint, ooroioo and
column the work is complete, and tbere is
no jar caused by seeing opening or abra
sions. Apparently every piece grow to
the other, and tbe joining can scarcely bo
discerned. There can be the same degree
of art displayed tbongh on a muoh smaller
scale in constructing a counter over whioh
candies or other merchantable article are
old as in the erection of a palace or cathe
dral, and tbe skill or art of th architeot or
mechanio can be discerned in either. The
gentleman ha passed bis aixty-ninth mile
stone; bnt it ia evident that his hand ha
not forgotten its cunning or hi eye it care
ful disoernment.
