The largest check was for $10.000, drawn by a wholesele grocery house of Chicago on the Con- tinental National Bank. Numerous other drafts, ranging in figures from $7,500 to $1,000, and scores for $500 each were found. Von Oberkampf was arrested Sat- urday and confessed his guilt Mon- day.

I was quite young when I first entered congress, and my uncle, then a United States Senator from Vir- ginia, took me the first thing to see the great South Carolina statesman. “Mr. Calhoun received us kindly, and from the first devoted his atten- tion to me—to a young man—to a certain extent ignoring his colleague my uncle. “I believe Mr. Thurman,’ said he, ‘that this your first term in congress, and from your youthful appearance, I should say that you had not been long out of college.” Mr. Thurman admitted both posi- tions. ‘Well, sir, while you were in college I hope you studied the his- tory of Greek Republics! Did you? Mr. Thurman gave some enumer- ation of his studies, in which gener- al history was included. “But, sir, as a public man, looking forward to public life, you should have studied the history of the Greek republics.” “And then,” said Judge Thurman, for a full half hour he turned his at- tention to me, and I'll guarntee that there never fell from mortal lips such a lecture as the venerable and dis- tinguished statesman delivered to me, an audience of one, upon the subject of the *‘Greek republics. It was a profound volume upon govern- ment.” Judge Thurman further said that no living man was ever more lumin- ous in argument and more impres- sive in his sincerity than Mr. Cal- houn.

The Pike County Fend Again. Catlettsburg, Ky., Aug. 14.—Frank Phillips, sheriff of Pike county, whose daring deeds have made him famous, went out last week summoning wit- nesses to the trials of the Hatfields set for Pikesville yesterday. When in the neighborhood of Beater three men, claiming to be detectives, de- manded his surrender. He drew his revolver and opened fire, shooting the belt off one Alexander and se- curing his three revolvers. No one was hurt. The menretreated minus their hats, weapons, etc. The next day they returned with nine recruits in search of Phillips and his body guard, and were again repulsed. Sunday morning sixty Hatfield men passed the mouth of Beater creek and Captain Hatfield told an old miner there that he had better leave as there was going to be trouble. Shortly afterward he heard the skirmish between the Hatfields and McCoys, the latter being forty- five strong and laying in wait for their enemies. After the smoke had cleared away three of the Hatfields were found killed and two wounded, while three of the McCoys were slightly wounded.

New York, Aug. 10.—A report is in ¢i culation this afternoon > has been a “dea the enterprise” of new steamer, the City of New The story isto the effect that Mr. Blaine originally engaged his return to this country on the steamship Trave of the North German Lloyd Line, this being the line by which he sailed for Europe last year; that after having threestaterooms booked on the vessel for himself and family, he received an offer of free passage on the new Inman steamship City of New York, which was tendered for the sake of advertising that ship on her first trip; that the greatest living statesman promptly embraced the opportunity to cast a pecuniary anchor to windward, and induced the Bremen office of the North German Lloyd to release him from the en- his way. When inquiry in regard to this report was made by a reporter at the office of the North German Lloyd agents in this city, Mr. Gustav H. Schwab said it was true that Mr. Blaine engaged staterooms on the Trave for her voyage from England on July 19. Some time before that date he requested the company to release him from his engagement and the company did so. All the correspondence in the matter was conducted on the other side, and Mr. Schwab was not informed of the change in Mr. Blaine’s arrangements. At the office of the Inman line this afternoon the gentleman in charge, when asked by a reporter if it was true that Mr. Blaine came over as a deadhead on the new steamer, said: “We don’t know that here. I am sure that the company would extend the courtesy to the great statesman if he would accept it.” Sheridan's Will and His Estate. Washington, Aug. 14.—The will of the late General Sheridan, dated May 23, 1888, was yesterday adimit- ted to probate. He left to his wife one-third of all his personal property in lieu of dower, and Mrs. Kate Sheridan, his mother, since deceased, the Ohio homestead, to revert to his son Phil H. Sheridan, in fee simple. All the rest of the property he leaves to his wife, M. V. Sheridan and Linden Kent, his attorney, in trust to recover rents, ete., for the main tenance and education of his four children, and if more than is neces- sary the excess to be paid to his wife. As each of the children shall reach the age of 21 years the trustees shall assign to such child its share in the estate. The personal estate consists of $2,721 money, $5,000 stocks, etc., ete., $5,000 swords, ete., $3,000 household furniture, $600 horse and carriage, and $500 in the house at Nonquitt, and the indebtedness is not more than $1,250. In all probability Dr. Brooks, who is an impetuous man and not likely to mince his words, did say that he thanked God that he had never heen a republican, but he did not say that he thanked God that he had been a rebel. Asa great many esteemed contemporaries in Kansas have per- verted his speech; let us see how it is quoted by the C cago Tribune: “Friends I admit I lived in the south | Nor has he attempted t] of slaves. “sympathize with the south and “and was the owner “prayed for the success of the con-| “federate but “were not answered. “democrat, but, thank God, I have “never been a republican—I will never have that sin to answer.” Very likely this was said humorously, but cause, my even if it were not, it is not a crying | sin. While Captian Fred Tappen of the ferry-boat South Brooklyn and the Misses Walcott of Stapeton, S. I, were sailing in a cat boat in the lower New York bay, they were start- led by a big shark appearing near their craft. The shark—of the man- eating species—came so close that Captain Tappen battered it over the head with his oar until its blood made the water crimson. The shark finaly sank. that | York. | gagement which required him to pay j orayers | I rst a | become quite valuable.

The real facts of the case Were how apparent. A prowl- ing cat had been pounced upon by an eagle. were Up the combatants soar- ed, while the feathers that flew from the eagle and spread in all directions convinced the fisherman that the bat- tle was continued in the air. Tne fishermen watched the strange com- bat until the combatants seemed a mere black speck in the sky. Sud- denly the speck resolved itself into two and the cat came down through the air with freightful velocity, some- times as round asa ball and anon stretched at full length. It soon reached the ground, The fishermen proceeded on their journey, but next day when passing near the scene of the previous day's incident, to their astonishment, the cat’s carcass could nowhere be found. Near the spot, however. a large, newly-dead eagle was discovered, with the flesh liter- ally torn off its body to such an ex- tent that the bones were exposed to view. This clearly demonstrated that the cat was more than a match for the king of birds, but how puss escaped being dashed to pieces when it struch the ground remains a mys- tery.

The summary shows that there are 138,385 church- es, 97,457 ministers and 19.790.323 church members in the republie. The net gains for the year were 6,434 churches, 4,505 ministers and 774,851 communicants; so that every day saw seventeen churches, twelve min- isters and 2,128 communicants ad- ded to the force of Christianity.” The churches having the largest membership are: Roman Catholic: 7,200,000; Methodists 4,699,529; Bap- tists 3,971,685; Presbyterians 1,436,- 635; Lutherans, 937,600; Congrega- tionalists 457,584; Episcopalians, 446,785; Reformed Episcopalians, 269,523. The Baptists made the » largest increase, relative and abso-~ lute, to their membership during the» year. In his brief speeches on his gain- ing home Mr. Blaine must be given § the credit of sticking to the issue. He invariably talks protection and _ dresses it out with all the art of sophistry of which he is so skillful a master. He professes to be willing to make the fight on the protection issue. So far he has only dealt in “glittering generalities” and has not since his return given his ideas in detail as to how he would reform the revenue so as to reduce t I} task of harmonizing his Paris inter- t i= view with the Chicago platform Aged violins of celebrated makers tuzzi, into a London gentleman for $4,600.
