The hospital she enters is one of the finest in Chi- cago. Jud Fry's biacksmith shop and contents at Sprague was destroyed by fire Monday night. As there had been no fire in the blackemith shop all day it must have been the work of an incendiary or spontaneous com- bustion. The fire occurred between 11 and 12 o’ciock at night, and the loss is quite severe on Mr. Fry.

He imagines he owns the town and rules the roost, and that when makiog an arrest itis bis privilege and duty to pound and abuse his victim at will. A marshal bas no right to strike a man except io self defense, and no right at any time or under aay cir- tim.

Pleasant Hill, Mo., Aug. 2—This city was the ecene this morning of another one of those horrifying and dreadful deaths which seem insep arable from the operation cf rail- roads. Aman named Gray, aged about 50 years, was run down by the south bound local Missouri Pacific out of Kansas City, and instantly killed, shortly after 10 o’clock this morning. This train had just pulled up on the switch to let the through freight from St. Louis pass.
