"Simply this," was the answer: David 23. Hill is a candidate for Democratic nomination in 1802, and Hill wants JJnckley aud I think that Hill has him. The gnme was to send a Hill delegation to the convention, as on perhaps noticed there was not a Cleveland man present at that ban quet, and the promoter oE the whole aflair wjls Tom Grady, who hates Cleveland with all his Irish cor diality."

All early Kansans and every one who traveled in the state in days gone by, says the Kansas City Star, re member "old MoMeekin," who during the years of his prolonged life was tho genial host of more hotels than any other man,-and once famous as the landlord of the immortal Teft House in Topeka, whose walls could they speak might tell a story as thrill ing if not as bloody as those of the Bastfle in the time of Robespierre. In 1867 Mao was pro prietor of the Marshall house in Ells worth, then for years afterward the "hardest" town on the American con tinent. The structure was a veritable shell of lumber, its partitions of thin boards reaching only half way to the roof, so that ordinary conversation in any room could be heard in any part of the wretched building. It was always crowded, however, for busi ness in the new "city" was lively. One night in February of 1868, when the wind was blowing fearfully, the house rocking like a ship at sea, and the cold so terrible that every thing liquid on the premises was frozen solid, the snow sifting through every crevice, until it banked itself in tinit IUUU UU UKUWl ULGIB1J lUUUli a commercial traveler who had retired early in the vain hope of keeping him self warm, managed to wake the land lord by repeated pounding on the wall of his little 8x9 den, intending to ask for more bed-clothing. "Haven't you got more-blankets, landlord?" he appealingly chattered, as Mac entered with a dim kerosene lamp in his hand. Tm almost chilled to death." "No," replied Mac. 'Tm awfully sorry. The house is jammed full, and everything is in use. ButPll see what i can do for you." The willing landlord then, went out into a woodshed, and. returning in a few minutes with a piece of frozen fish-net about three yards long, but the meshes of which were four inches square, threw it over the chattering fellow, with the remark: "There, that may help tangle up the wind a little it's the best I can do," and ho went out The highest balloon ascension ever made was by Cox and Glafeer, En glish aeronauts, in an ascension made in England in 1862. They are cred ited with attaining a height of 1233 yards; or about seven mites. 5 -TlVl We if -. ; ' f : 3 i 3 ' ' s - . Jli s I THE STRIKE COSTS BLOOD. A Fatal Shot Fire ly f m.

Acting Mayor Davidson, councflmen Bett and Not Eohm appeared before the court on a charge of contempt, but a decision will not be rendered be fore to-morrow. THE IRON HOLDERS. One nan Killed as a. RcsHlt of Ike Strike. Special to Tue AsiokiasJ Sax Fkaxcisco, June 26. Edward Coogan, a molder's .apprentice, who was employed in the Vulcan Iron works, was shot and most instantly killed about G'Ao this morning- by James W. Kerr, of the firm of Steigler & Aerr, proprietors or tho Occidental foundry. Claussen had been threatened with violence by the strikers, and reported the matter to Kerr. They agreed to meet tins morning and go to the foun dry together, as they both feared they would be assaulted. Tho exact cir cumstances connected with the tragic affair are not known, 03 the inter ested parties are reticent. The story generally told and believed, is that Claussen and Kerr were assaulted, and that the latter used his revolver in self defense. "When Kerr and Claussen were pass ing along the street, they were as saulted by a crowd ot about fifteen men, who had been hiding iu door ways. Claussen was felled to the side walk by a blow from some heavy in strument, and while ho was down, he was badly kicked about the head and body. Kerr was also rougly handled, and while some one was choking him from behind, he drew his revolver. He fired one shot and young Coogan fell to tho sidewalk mortally wounded. "Whether he was with the assaulting party is not known. Some say he was on the opposite side of the street, when he was shot, whilo others claim he was at the head of the assault "When the shot wos fired, tho men who attacked Kerr and Claussen ran off, and it will be difficult to ascertain who was in the party. Kerr made a statement as follows this evening, "Clausen and I started to walk toward the foundry, when sud denly from twelve to fifteen strikers sprang out from where they had been concealed, grabbed Clausen and began to beat him. At tho same timo they seized hold of me by the throat, this action being accompanied with blows. I shook myself loose, and noticing Clausen prostrate upon the sidewalk, being kicked by several of tho men and the blood streaming from his face, then thought it was time to do some thing. I noticed Coogan coming toward me, trying to get behind and close in on me. I drew my weapon and fired, intending to fire a shot over his head, with the intention to frighten, not to kill him. From -the manner in which they met us, it is my opinion the attack was premeditated, and that it was their intention to kill one or both of us." PROMPT ACTION. An Attempt te Barn the Town of Elko. Spsci.il to The astokiax. i Elko, Nev., June 26. Last Tuesday an attempt was made to set fire to Elko. About midnight, sheriff Bar nard discovered three dry goods boxes burning in the rear of a store. By the aid of the citizens, the fire was extinguished, and it was discovered that the boxes had been saturated with kerosene. The fire was undoubt edly started by incendiaries. This morning when people awoke, they found placed in the most conspicuous places several hundred of the follow ing circulars: "Fire bugs take warn ing. Gallows is ready, and hanging ready to begin.
