When the Chesapeake and Ohio train from Norfolk, Va., was within afew miles of Morehead, Rowan, county, this morning, it was flagged ‘ty some citizens and when it came to a stop they intormed the conduct- or that a bloody battle was going on «a Morehead between a sheriff's posse and the Tolliver gang and that it would not be safe for the train to proceed until hostilitiesceased. The passengers and trainmen were very Much frightened, and at their solici- tation the conductor ran the train to Martin's switch, two miles and a half east of Morehead. There they temained until about 12 o'clock, when they were notified that the fighting was over and that they might pass in safety. It was learned there by the pas- sengers that Sheriff Ho acting ander instructions from the state authorities, had been for about a week quietly organizing a large posse ot determined men in the northern part ot Rowan county and in the adjoining country tor the Purpose ot arresting Craig Tolliyer and all the party who were implicated in the murder of the Logan boys some two weeks ago. Craig Tolliver received intim: Gons of this, but they were so vague that he supposed that the Party would be regulators instead ot a sheriff's posse, and he and his Party, consisting of about ten men, were quite yigilant, and went heavily arm- ed to meet every eastward bound train at the depot to search tor sus- picious characters, and to see that no one gotott at Morehead but those whom they desired.

There is a young married man liv ing on Hennepin avenue. says the Detroit Free Press, who is a very good fellow, but he has fallen into the habit of using profanity almost constantly. His charming wife tried a dozen ways to break him of the habit without success. Finally she decided upon plan. He came home the other evening and remark- ed: “It has been of comfortable day, hasn't in?” “What in the —— has been the matter with it?” asked his wife cooly. He looked as if a cyclone had strnck him. Then he expressed his wonder with an oath. His peated it. It required just two days to break this young man of the hadit a a a an un- wife re for his wife repe: ed every “swear word” he used in her presence.

At the solicitation of a friend of the family, the mother brought him to a well-known aurist for examination, and was horrified to learn that the hearing had been totally destroyed by aca hal trouble which had been wholly overlooked by both parents. This child had been re- primanded often, even in the presence of strangers, for a fault which he did not possess, and of which he had no knowledge whatever. Be careful, then, how you charge a ehild with heedlessness; be convinced, not by your own “infallible’’ opinion, but by competent medical authority, that his hearing is sound ere you ac- cuse him of this failing. It may seem a little thing to us, but the nem = brance of an act of injustice toward s child will linger long in the little one’s memory, and is very often never ob- literated.—Boston Budget. one —++>—_____ FASHIONS FANCIES. flandsome Lace Dresses, Lace-Edged Valls and Rainbow Hosiery. White and paie-gray vails with lace edges are to be worn this summer in preference to all others. They come in certain different siz and should reach just beyond the tip of the nose, leaving the upper lip bare, to be worn in the most fashionable way. All shapes of lavender, violet, green and pink are seen in the new hosiery, gloves and lingerie, both for men and women. The most fashionable dresses for the house for spring and summer wear are made of soft surah or china silk, cut somewhat after the Greek fashion, and held about the waist by a long silken cord and tassel. : Red morocco slippers are in favor for morning wear. They have little pointed toes, are made without heels, and are to be worn with black stockings, hav- ing scarlet clocks. Dresses entirely of lace made up over silk are among the modes that find favor for warm weather. Black lace over black is of course most in use, but white Valenciennes and Chantilly are all of the pretty and cheap imita- tion and are made up for evening wear over delicately tinted lace. The Valen- ciennes is now manufactured with a stripe of gauze between the insertions of lace, the gauze of some one of the evening tints. When made up over silk of the same shade and looped with bows these gowns are exceedingly pretty. The Scotch pins, which have been worn with walking suits all winter, are to be used this summer to fasten the lsash ribbons worn by young ladies with evening toile as Covert jackets in fawn, mauve, gray and ether colors which do not show dust readily are in gr favor among young ladies for walking and driving. A scarlet coat Wrap is numbered among the possession of every fashion | able’s girl's summer wardrobe. They are found most picturesque to throw col over a light- mer evening: promenade.
