HIT WITRA A BEER GLASS, A Man Named Mike Courtney Badly Beaten, At 10 o’clock last night a man wae found lying on the sidewalk in front of the Windsor hotel. He was semi-con gcious and the blood was running from his badly cut face Into his hair and thence upon the sidewalk. He was taken to the central station. The man, it seems, drop- ped nto the Windsor bar with a companion and each ordered a glass of beer. They were not known to the attendant. As the men raised the glasses to drink, one suddenly set upon the other and slugged him with the glass, At the station an effort was made to stop the flow of blood. The man was made as comfortable as possible until the arrival of City Physi- cian Ralph, who dressed his wounds. The right nostril was laid open by a cut which extended across the right eye, A deep gash extended along the left cheek.” Blood had run “down the man’s body and covered him until he presented a sickening any an He revived somewhat and gave his nam a8 Michael Courtney. He hed been em ling telegraph poles and lant by sight only. He could not imagino what oceasioned the savage attack unless the man bad been drinking too freely and was viciously in- clined therefrom. Courtn is pretty badly hurt. A LITTLE ESCAPADE. Dick Harri¢ and Mrs. Emma Githen Arrested Together, A man named Joe Githen rushed frantically up to Officer Pulaski last night and wanted his wife removed from the cheap lodging house on the south side of Farnam strect near Eleventh. hen B he had ched her and she had re- tired with another man., The officer went to the room indicated and found Mrs. Emma Githen and a man who gave the name of Dick Harrls occupying the same couch, They were tuken to central station and arris was booked for adultery while apposite the woman’s name was placed the charge of “family trouble.”” Harris is an employe at Iler’s distillery. Mrs. Githen has borne the name of an indus- trious, respectable woman. Gitben is given a somewhat unsavory reputation. He has been employed as a cook at King's place on Douglas street. He ‘would not support his wife, who worked and took care of herself and has hounded and caused great trouble to the woman for the last six or eight months. The Weather, Yesterday was a pleasant variation from the sweltering days which have prevailed for a week or more. Thero was 8 delightful breeze which refreshed Omahans as it toyed with the whiskers of the male portion of the com- m unity. While the unfortunate gesidents of Pittsburg, Chicago, New York and other eastern cities were all but suffocating, the people of Omaha were regaled with a most invigorating breeze. In nearly every city in the coun- try yesterday it was exceedingly hot—in Omaha it was as pleasant as any day ever expericnced at the seaside resorts, Arrested For Gambling. Yesterday afternoon Captain Cormick and Officer Harrigan visited Van Or- man's place at Cut-Off lake and found a full-fledged gambling game in progress. The operator, an man named Charle Ly- ons, and John Dailey, William Barton, Ed Donovan and R Hardy were arrested and slated for gambling.” Lyon’s phara- phanalia was seized also. fiyons is also ashell man and o strong case will be made against him. A Neighborhood Row. There was trouble in the neighborhood of Mr. Uwen Connolly last mght. Mr. Connolly is better known as “Whisky Jack.” Paddy Ward hurled a rock through the window of Mr. Jack’s domi- cile and hit Mrs. Jack on the side of the head. The the trio had been_drinking. ‘When the police went down Ward was out of sight. The woman was pot very much hurt, They Quarreled Andy Ruby and L. Kenney were ar- rested by Officer O'Boyle yesterday afternoon for disturbing the peace. They had been to a Sunday picnic, absorbed too much heer and were preparing to #ight when the officer interfered. Probably Stolen Tools. John McCarthy was arrested yesterday by Officer Foley and slated as a suspic- lous character. McCarthy was trying to dispose of some carpenters’ tools for a dollar, and when observed by the police - man ran into an alley and dropped the articles behind an empty box. .

A Novel Idea to Be Carried Out in the ‘White House. ‘Washington Correspondent Baltimore American: A number of ladies in Wy- oming county, New York, are preparing, 1t is said, to estabhish an era of “‘Jefler- sonian simplicity” in the white honse which will prove ample for the very worst croakers against the alleged ex- travagances of the present generation, f}very ona knows that Mrs. Frances Cleve- and formerly lived 1n Folsomdale, N Y. The village is located in Wyoming county, and would probably never have been heard of outside the state but for the fact that it was at one time the resi- dence of the first lady of the land. Now the hamlet is stirred from centre to oir- cumference, and the whole country will shortly know that Folsomdale exists, and thar 1t is filled with patriotic people. In all country places there is a system of co-operation among the inhabitants, by which a great deal of work is_necom Yi\shed at a very small uulla{y. When a r-rmcr wants & new barn, he prepares his timber and calls his neighbors to- ther to raise the frame work into posi- f:ux This gathering is called a ‘‘bee.” sometimes the women of the household will call their female friends together to & “‘quilting bee;” and again, in the corn husking season, a “husking bee” will at tract scores of young people to a day's pmusemoent and an evening’s dance, Just mow Folsomdale is indulging inone long- drawn-out *‘bed But 'it 15 not barn- isng, corn-husking, or quilting wh pe the puople busy, There is & cert: amount of secrecy about the affair which gives ita greater charm. All the ladies in the vicinity are engaged in tearing intostrips, coloring, sewing, and weav- ing ail sorts of textile result will be one of the handsomest and best rag carpets ever produced in this | countiy. The rag carpet will be of the design known among the initiated as ‘‘hit-or- miss.” It is pronounced “hitermiss” in Folsomdwle. It is being made to adorn one of the rooms of the white house, and will be finished some time this fall. Mrs. Cleveland’s old neighbors and friends have determined to fit up one room in tlie executive mansion in country style. They will first lay a rag carpet. Then they will furnish a pair of old brass and irons, several “‘rockers’’ of the variety used by our grandmothers, a spinning wheel, and all the other paraphernalin which go to e up the furnishings of an old-fashioned *‘best room.” The effect, when compared with the elaborate dec: orations of some of the other rooms, 1n the mansion, will be striking. ‘The novel 1dea originated with one of the oldest friends of the Folsom family, and, as it will establish a distinetively “*Ameri can” room in the white house, it will doubtless prove greatly attractive to visitor 1y to those who are accus- tomed u“{‘m s Quinze,’’ “‘Queen Anne,’” “Eastlake,” and other styles of modern interior decoration. Few of the fashion able people of the present day h; any iden of the manner of “‘parlor life” of their grandmothers. The efforts oi the ladies of Folsomdale will give them a chance to see a reproduction of the rooms in which their ancestors entertained ‘‘eompany.” A WESTERN NOVELTY. Newspapers Delivered by a Horse—A Strange Story if Trae. Indianapolis Corresponder York Journal: In this city, § rule, everything that goes can be secr had, there is one novelty of which few other cities can boast. Itisa horse that delivers daily to regular subscribers the Cincmnati Enqui This horse, the property of \('ill am Amyst, has been trained to do this work by his owner, and so thoroughly has he learncd his daily route that at no time in the past six months has he forgotten one sub- seriber or patron. The owner himself has been the horse’s instructor, and taught the sagacious an- imal to know the strects, alleys and lanes of Indianapolis and the houses of sub- scribers, The borse became famous for his fast trotting, stopping promptly and in good time atevery place. He knows bis business so well that when in the middle of any block where there should be the last subscriber, he will turn around, taking through an alley for a short cut to the next patron. The novelty of this delivery of a great newspaper has made subscribers for it, by people who buy it because they like to see the horse come once & day regularly and perform his remarkable feat of leaving his master ofl at the right house. Indianapolis, like other cities of any size, has all the com- etition that is wanted in the newspaper usiness, but when the Enquirer ndopted the new system of delivery—something ot an original and different idea alto- ether from what has ever been in vogue efore—it knocked out small rivals, leav- i“f an exclusive field for itself. t is a common thing to see & dog come to the tront gate for his master's paper; but when a horse comes along to give it to the dog—that act supplies the missing link in the circulation of metropolitan dailies, and much doubt is expressed whether or not some other and more genial device will ever be heard of that 1n all respects will supersede this mode of delivery. The horse’s_ability may be readily estimated when I say that he de- livers'to no less than 420 subscribers, scattered all over Indinapolis and the suburbs, taking over tive hours to com- plete the task. The memory of this noble animal is certainly w~nderful. Gentle as a lamb, he trots in 2.5 when necessary to have the first package at the prominent news stand of the Bates house ahead of all other dalies. So accurate is this animal in his daily course that the large sum of $630 has been offered by an admirer, but was refused, the horse costing three years ago only $75. W Oigar Ends Utilized. “Fully 75 per cent of my customers,”” said a down-town cigar dealer to a re- porter for the New York Mail and Ex- press, “‘cut off the end of the cigar with the clipping machine. Many appear to have forgotten the old plan of biting it off. Here is a box full of such ends, ‘They are of all sorts of cigars, cheap and costly, domestic and imported. I should estimate that in this box there are the ends of nearly a mullion cigars. What do we do with them? Nothing in particular. I have given away a large number recently to a customer who loves flowers. Ho soaks them in water and uses the solution on his plants to kil insects. Are the ends used in making cigarettes? No. It would not Lmy to do s0 at the present price of to- acco in the wholesale market. (Good uni- form tobacco can thus be had at 5e or 6¢ apound. Now, the eigar ends are of all sorts of tobacco. mixed with paste, for all the pointed ends are held together with paste before heing twisted. To sort out the different kinds of tobacco and separate tho paste would not pay for the trouble at the above quoted rate for the raw tobacco. Bould the ends be smoked in & pipe? Well, 1think it would be a hard kind of smoke and make an ordinary man sick. Good smoking tobacco is too cheap to take such risks, krow of no other use to which the ends could be applied, except for the killing of garden insects. In Germany, it is said, the cigar ‘ends are grnun«f up into snuff. I do not think it would pay the snufl man- ufacturers hero to collect the cigar ends and reduce them for this purpose. — Be- sides which there is so little snufl used to-day, compared with what was con- sumed fifty years ago.” e An Old Tramp’s Wealth, The following romantic story comes from Turner's Falls, Mass.: ‘‘Some time ago it was reported that documents worth about $150, had been unearthed in the Wheeling (W. Va.,) court house, which were known to have belonged to Lovell Goro, an old tramp who had been mys- teriously killed in West Virginia five years ago. The report also contained an & ccount of how the old man was found almost dead in the morning from an assault during the night, and his clothing and wagon were searched by some- one having knowledge of valuables 1 his possession. Sewed in his coat were found papers and several letters which were subjected to a careless ex- amination at the time, but when they were found in a pigeon-hole of a desk in the court house recently, proved to con- sist of promissoly notes, bonds, deeds to Vermont land and other evidences of wealth, It now turns out thad the mur- dered man was a son of Danicl Gore, of Charlemont, Mass. It 1s reported that Lovell Gore went west twenty or more years ago with about $3,000, which he begged from his grandmother, Ilis randfather disinherited him. Gore set- tled in Wisconsin, and it is supposed that some of the papers found in W heel- ing are deeds for land there, as well asin Vermont.

A Quaiet, Unimpassioned Way of Deal- ing Popular Justioce. (Compiled from Hubert Howe Banerof's Popular Tribunals, Vol. 1): The citizens of Helens, Mont., had long been accus- tomed to deal out justice to eriminals. { They found this popular way far more gpeedy and efficient than the ordinary Iaw courts. Time gave them much expe- rience in handling criminals, and their calm, unimpassioned methodical way is well illustrated in their treatment of the villains who had attacked George Len- hart. Lenhart was a kind-hearted old man who was well known and widely re- spected. He was found one morning lying senseless by the roadside and covered with blood. On regaining con- sciousness, he said that while he was riding homeward on the previous night, he had been overtaken by two horsemen, One of them shot him in the thigh, and when he had fallen from his horse they had beaten him to insensibility. He de- scribed the men and they were soon ar- rested and lodged in jail. On the following evening the ecitizens met to talk tbe matter over. A general discussion was held, and then they quietly adjourned to meet on the follow- ing day. An hour before the appointed time & thousand men had gathered at the place ot meeting. irman was ap- pointed, and he stated the gen pur- pose for which they had come together. he slightest excitment vis- srything was quiet and orderly as a camp meeting. A well known merchant of the town removed his hat and moved that a jury of twenty eitizens be appointed to obtain evidence, to histen to the arguments for the prosecution and the defens 1d to declare to the assem- bly the innocence or guilt of the persons accuse The motion was seconded, and then carried. The jury was selected and retired at once to a room to begin 1its in- vestigations, Up to this time the prisoners had re- mained i the jal unmolested. But the committee had use for them now, and sent its marshall to bring them. The marshall with a number of men waited upon the sherifl, but that oflicer d to surrender his prisoners. The m thers on increased his foree, seized the sheriff and his deputies and searched for the keys. When these were found the oflicers of the law were locked in a room together and a gnard placed over them that they might not muake themselves troublesome. One of the prisoners was then taken from the prison; and between a double line of citizens was led to the committee room. He made a full con- fession and _hi| omplice did the same. The committee, therefore, went out be- foro the assembly and reported that the guilt of the prisoners was fully estab- lished. At this juncture the district judge ap- peared and asked to be heard. Per- mission was granted; he entered a strong protest against this interference with the civil authorities, The judge was Distened to patiently and respeetfully. He was a good enough man, but they had heard similar avgument s fifty times be- fore. They had grown tired of sitting quictly by awaiting the law’s delay, while men were shot down and robbed day after day. Finally the vote was put by the chair- mi “‘What shall be done with the prisoners?” “Hang them!"’ was the re- sponse. Agamm and more carefully the question was put: “Is it yonr decree that the prisone Joseph Wilson and A, L. (,‘umlwlon‘ shall be taken to Pine Tree, in Dry Gulch, and there hanged by the neck until they are dead?” ‘[t is; that's the verdiet!"" came from almost every person present. It was then half-past 2. A motion pre- vailed that the prigoners be given till 4 o'clock to prepare for death. Through- out the entire proceedings the utmost de- corum and even soiemnity prevailed among the crowd, which had gradually swelled to 8,000 souls. At no time during the day had there been any loud talking or boisterous demonstration, At the appointed hour the gulch pre- sented the appearance of a vast amphi- theater. It was lined with a dense mass of human beings, who covered the ad- jacent hills also. The town was deserted. At 4:30 the men were taken from the room where they had been confined. They were placed 1n a wagon and _each ed intent on the words of the t that was by his side. The wagon hatted under the branches of the fatal tree. The rope was thrown over the limb; prayers were satd; the horses were started, and all was quickly over. e Old Ships. There was very recently, says the Lon- don Telegraph, and there may be still afloat, a ship aged ninety-tive years, named the Cognac packet, commanded by one Captain Bulton. She was built in Bursleden, Hants, in 1792, and took her name from the circumstance of having been engaged in carrying brandy from France. She was rigged as a brig, and is described as hemfi very nearly as square as a box. The last port to which she belonged was Harwich, and, if she has not foundered within a fow months, the good people of that town are stil amused with a sight of one of the oldest ships in the country yet engaged in earning money for her owner. The fate of vessels is very much like the fate of human beings.” The average life of a ship, we believe, is ahout twelve years. Somo perish vety soon aftor they aro born, some struggle through a few years and then vanish, some %o on living their allotted span pretty defizntly, though very unhappy in the gales of wind they encounter, and the misfortunes which overtake them in respect of the shifting of cargo, the losing of spars, failures in the englne room, eto. Somie, but they are few, survive into a vonerable age, float hoarily upon the blue, and with much creaking and rheumatic straining of their ancient bones, go on sailing out of hving memory, and arrive umunfi a new generation, who survey them as bits ot fossilized history, and talk of the monarchs who have died, the bat- tles which have been lost and won, the marvelous changes which have been wrought since the old ships first dir ped down the ways of the sawiug of a fiddler and the huzzas of & crowd, Unhappily, the life of a stout vessel which has done her work bravely does not always close with the honor and dignity one could wish. The ocean sepulcher is denied her, Her inveterate trick of obstinate domina- tion proves eventually her humiliation instead of hor triumph. She shows very raggedly at last and is laid by and oftered to any one willing to Lmy a few pounds for the privilege of breaking her up. Perhaps if she were invariably knocked to pieces her dispersal would only be less dignitied than her decent interment by old Neptune. ‘The hammer would end her as a melancholy show. A wreck lying black and bare on the yellow sand of a shoal at low water 1s a dismal sight; but a limm old ship dismantled, lying alongside a quay, gray and with yawning seaws, disdained by the maritime knock- ers, and echoing nursery for the rude and boisterous sport of mudlarks, is a far sadder spectacle, An instance of the base uses to which brave old ships may come at last 1s to be found in the La Hogue, a vessel long famous as an Aus- tralian liner. She is now a coul-hulk anchored off Funchal, Madeira. This ship was for years one of the best known of the "fine fleet owned by the late Duncar Dunbar, and must to" this hour be a name as familiar as a house- hold word in many an Australian as in manv an Knglish' home. . Sho was built ut Sunderland in 1833, and 1s therefore only thirty-four years old, & mere girl in comparison wim# venerable dame the Cognac packet, Youm thirty-four years she has done such great and useful work that it would be g;fih-alt or anyone to view her in her présedt grimy and'squalid state without an emotion of pity. Some ships have proved noble relies in their day. Such wasthe Centurion, the queer old tub in whieh Commodore An- son cruised in the' great South sea, and with which he captured the tall Spanish ralleon, Such was the Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake's shig, which lay, a won- der and a show, for many years off Dept- ford, when she was tinally broken up.” A chair was made bur“ul her planks and presented to the tniversity of Oxford, which gave rise to “Cowley’s epigram, “Drake and his' ‘ship could not have wished from fate an hap- pier station or more blest estate; or lo! a seat of endless rest is given to her in Oxford and to him in heaven.” The Golden Hind has long since disappeared, but we have the noblest trophy of ull the ages with us in the old Victory, slumbering dotingly oft Portsmouth. ~ What eraft worthy to per- petuate the traditions she serves to ex- tend shall replace her when her time comes?! The chuntry ought to make sure, however, that that time shall be as long in coming as it is possible for human eflort to contrive. Some may venture to doubt if the Victory 1s as well cared for as so grand, so incomparabl so_ irreplaccable relic merits. Familiarity bred a certain indifierence and induced a k of that pious care which it is the first duty of the nation to bestow on the structure in which the famous admiral died, Such a ship as this carefully tended as Westminister abbey, Even as an impulse and an inspiration, she is of proaigious national value, No sailor can view her without a stirring of his heart’s best blood in him, and one feels that she ought to be cherished with not less devotion than is dedicated abroad to the relies and remains of saints, It is, of course, 1m- possible to conceive of any merchantman rivaling in interest the famous ships of war. Yet the red ensign hasits history, too, and there are els whose sheer hulks posterity would have been glad to look at. There was the Indiaman, for in_which old Nathanicl Dance beat off Linois’ squadron; she would have i embellished any tract of waters. her vessel the world would not willingly have lost was the Betsy Caids, as rare a fabric in her day as the “‘first folio Shakspeare” 1s rare as a hook in these times. She brought over to Enge- land William, Prince of Orange, in 1658 and she went to pieces jn a gale of wind off Tvnemouth, in February, 1827, 139 years later. It is supposed that sho was by no means a new ship when used by the prince, so thatshe might have been 150 or 160 years of age when she perished, She had been one of Queen A royal yachts, and there is eve on to svppose that had she een suffered to enjoy a tranquil old age instead of being put to trade between Shields and Hamburg she might still be in existence, the oldest vessel m the world, and of its kiud the greatest curi- osity. If, however, ships could speak we may take it they would choose rather to die an honorable death at sea than lan- guish on for a few yAars in the miserable condition of a coal hulk. The many, in Australia as here, ,who remember La Hogue in her prime will think of her now with sorrow. —_——— Mistaken Hokpitality. I am not surprised ‘that California has such a fine reputation for hospitality, says the San Francisgo Chronicle. There is one man gone back to Cincinnati from San Francisco fully persuaded that the Californians are the most kindly, gener- ous people under the son. A worthy entleman of this city, while 1n England ast year, was the recipient of very kind- ly attentions from an Australian’ whom he met there named, well, say Kauiman. He had been informed that Mr. Kauf- man would pass through San Francisco en route to Australia, and a few daysago he read in the paper as guests at a prom- inent hotel the names of *“‘A. Kaufman and wife.” He proceeded with all due haste to pay his compliments to them. He went to the clerk. “Is Mr. Kaufman, of London, here?” 4736,"" said the clerk, without a mo- ment's hesitation. “Mr. A. Kaufman, of London?” “736.
