Mr. Conley took from hi* safe some notes
that had been given in part payment for some
of the property of the estate and which notes

the Atlanta National Bank for collection on
account of Conley and Shumate. Mr. Spald

of “Conley A Shumate.’* This order was
finally obtained and tbe notes were left in

receiver. Tbe total amount of the notes de

also had ten shares of the Atlanta Cotton
Factory stock, which he had mislaid among
his papers and could not find, but as soon as
he could find them he would turn them over
also. As to any other assets, cash or other
wise, Mr. Conley said he was sorry to sav he
had none on hand, but that he simply owed
the balance to the estate. What ihe full
amount is cannot now be accurately esti
mated, but on Friday, in open court. Mr.
Conley himself admitted that he owed the
estate sl2.ts-il. At present it cannot be said
what movement will be made next by tbe
parties. Mr. Mpalding will report to the
court the present state of affairs. An effort to
find Mr. Conley and secure his statement in
the matter yesterday was not rewarded with
success.

Ocala correspondence Mornikg News, .July
13: The campaign opened here last night
with a grand torchlight procession and Demo
cratic rally. All day yesterday preparations
were lieing made, and last night about 200
Democrats, part on horseback ami part on
foot, with illuminated banners ami torches,
met at the Ocala Rifles’ armory ami proceeded
to parade. There were cheers for Cleveland,
Hendricks, Ferry, Mabry and Dougherty. A
Tew weak cheers were heard from some of the
colored element for Blaine. After marching
through the main streets and around the
square everybody met in the court house,
where Mr. F. E. Harris called the meeting to
order and introduced to the audience the
“Old War Horse” of the .Second Congressional
District, Gen. J. J. Finley, who responded in
one of bis well known and telling speeches,
followed by Col S. M. li. Gary, Col. John
Martin, ex-Mayor .spencer and J. G. Rear
don, the “Little Giant of Marion county.”
The court house and many residences were
beautifully illuminated, aud several bonfires
were seen over the city.
Gulf Const Progress : A murder, cold-blood
ed in the fullest degree, was committed at
Bee Ridge, last Monday morning, on the per
son of 11. T. Riley, within a short distance of
several houses and on a public road, but re
mained undiscovered for several hours. The
particulars, so far as known, are as follows:
Mr. Riley left home on horseback early in the
■lay to go to Sara Sota. At night lie had not
returned; but soon after dark his horse came
home with empty -addle and having two
buckshot wouniis in the neck. Suspicions of
foul play were thus aroused, and Mr. Riley’s
son, Gus, at once mounted, ami taking the
road to Sara Sota soon discovered the body of
his father lying by the roadside near a small
itond between the houses of Mr. Tippett and
Mr. Brown, and about four miles from Sara
>.*ta. He called assistance and th*> liody was
cared for. The Coroner lieing notified, he im
paneled a jury Tuesday morning, exami
nation showed that two men had hidden in
aa-biisli for quite a time in a clump of pal
metto. distant from the road about twenty
yards, near the margin of the pond. They
had cleared a space in the midst of the pal
mettoes and npon Mr. Riley’s appearing shot
liim twice, the charges of’ buck shot taking
effect, the first one in his left side and the
other in his face and head. But the savage
in the nature of these men was not satisfied
until they h*d completed their hellish
work by cutting the throat of their
victim. The evidence adduced at the
inquest was that of Frank Tucker and Mr.
Redd, who early in the day heard two shots
tire t in the direction of the pond, they beiDg
about 600 yards away at the time. Ihey, of
course, thought nothing of it, but there is
every reason to believe that the shots heard
were the ones fired at the murdered man. as
he did not reach Sara Sota, and had evidently
been dead several hours when found. No
measures have yet been taken to apprehend
the murderers, everyone in that section seem
ing satisfied to accept, as final, the verdict of
the jury: “Came to his death at the hands of
some person or iiersons unknown.”
THE HEN'imiCKS BOOM.
How It lame to be Started.
The story of the origin of the Hendricks
boom, says a New York Times correspon
dent, which came near carrying the con
vention by storm on Friday morning, has
not been fully told. The Times’ corres
pondent encountered a gentleman on the
Tammany train homeward who was pres
ent when it was concocted, and who had
a good deal to do with its inception and
progress, and who feels quite confident
that if it had been started in the conven
tion the night before it would not have
miscarried. His story is as follows: At
S o'clock on Friday morning a conference
of leading Democrats was held, on pre
vious invitation, in parlor J of the Palmer
House—one of the rooms occupied
by Gen. Butler. There were pres
ent at the conference Gen. But
ler, John Kelly. Thomas A. Hendricks,
Speaker Carlisle, Morrison of Illinois,
Davis of West Virginia, J. G. Thompson
of Ohio, J. 11. Mooney of New York,
Col. Clunie ol California, and two or three
more whose names are not now recalled.
Mr. Mooney.who had been studying the fig
ures of the first ballot for President, which
took place late on the previous night,
submitted to the conleronce an analysis
of that vote, from which he demonstrated
that nearly one-half of tbe 392 votes cast
for Grover Cleveland came from States
that by no possibility could give him an
electoral vote. The iollowing is the list
of such States, with the votes cast by
them, as figured out by Mr. Mooney:
Illinois 28, lowa 23, Kansas 11. Maine
12, Massachusetts 5, Michigan 14, Min
nesota 14. Nebraska 8, New Hampshire 8,
Ohio 21, Oregon 2, Vermont 8, Pennsylva
nia 6. lthode Island 6, Wisconsin 12, the
Territories 15—total 192. This number,
together with the 23 votes from New York
that were talsely registered under the
unit rule against the wishes ot the dele
gates who east them, comprised, as was
demonstrated, more than half of the entire
vote cast for Cleveland, and the argument
was urged that it was unfair and unsafe
for the convention to nominate a candi
date on the votes of States that could
do him no good on election day. Mr.
Carlisle and others appeared *to be
strongly impressed by this showing, and
it was’ generally agreed by those present
that au effort ought to be made at once
to concentrate the opposition to Cleve
land on one man. A discussion followed as
to who was the strongest man and the one
most likely to turn the current that was
setting in so steadily for Cleveland. It
was finally agreed that Mr. Hendricks
was the man most likely to accomplish
the object desired, and a motion was made
to present his name to the convention.
At this juncture Mr. Hendricks addressed
the conference. He said that he came to
the convention to present the name and
take care of the interests of Joseph E.
McDonald. Thus far he had done so, and
he must continue to do so unless a
majority of his colleagues from
Indiana agreed upon a different
programme. With these remarks Mr.
Hendricks left the room. It was
still the unanimous opinion of those re
maini:.g that Mr. Hendricks was the best
man to concentrate the opposition. Gen.
Butler pledged the conference that he
could carry Massachusetts, and Mr. Kel
ly promised 50,000 frojn New York. The
conference then adjourned with the un
derstanding that Hendricks’ name should
be sprung upon the convention at the fit
test opportunity, and that the nece-sary
outside appliances should be brought to
bear to work up a boom that would be ir
resistible. But it was too late; the slate
had been fixed tor Cleveland, and the 20
minutes’ cheering and waving of hand
kerchiefs that followed in the convention
was only so much lost wind and wasted
muscle.’
A CAPTAIN’S SERIOUS BLUNDER.
Passengers from an Infected Port Al
lowed to Leave a Vessel.
The Captain of the British bark Roland,
which arrived in Philadelphia on Friday,
reports that Capt, Perkins and the first
mate of the barkentine Elliott Ritchie,
which foundered off the coast of Brazil in
May last while en route from Brunswick,
Ga., to Pernambuco, who were passen
gers on the Roland, left the vessel at tbe
Breakwater, in violation of the health
and custom laws. Yellow fever and
small-pox are raging A the port of
Pernambuco, from which fne Roland hails.
Although not officially notified, Surveyor
of the Port Leland proposes to take im
mediate action in the matter. The penalty
for a violation of this character is SI,OOO
fine and the forfeiture of the vessel, the
Captain of which is responsible for the
action of hi# passenger#. The Morning
New# published an account a short time
since of the loss oi the Elliott Ritchie
and some facts concerning her remarkable
history. It wou'd seem from the above
that the Captain, while fortunate to get
back borne, is still unfortunate enough to
to get into more serious trouble.
CAMPAIGN SKIRMISHING.
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS HOLD
A RATIFICATION MEETING.
Buncombe Resolutions Adopted and a
Long-Winded Speech Fired Off by
William M. Evarts—Democrats Pleased
with Last Week's Work and Confident
of Victory—Rumors that Kelly will
Support Butler.
New York, July 15.—A Republican
mass meeting to ratify the nominations of
Blaine and Logan was held to-night at the
Grand Opera House. Every available
foot of space was occupied. The audience
was enthusiastic. Among the prominent
persons present were Judge Noah Davis,
ex-Gov. Cornell, Senator Warner Miller,
Geo. Bliss, ex-l’ostmaster Genera! James,
Jno. Jay Knox, Whitelaw Reid, Gen.
Hawley, and ex-Senator Platt. Chairman
Cbas. 8. Smith, in his opening address,
asked what was to be the issue in the
canvass. A voice in the gallery rejdied
“Protection,” at which the audience got
up and cheered long and loudly.
Mr. Smith agreed with the assemblage
and made an argument in favor of the
protective tariff. Resolutions were
adopted stating that in appealing to the
people for their continued support, the
Republican party referred to its record
for the past twenty-four vears, that it was
organized as a party of free soil and free
speech and as a protest against slavery,
and as such it was bound and pledged to
maintain the civil and political rights of
freedmen.
FURTHER BUNCOMBE.
The resolutions also reiterated the ser
vices of the party in reducing the war
taxes and the national debt; stated that
the resumption of specie payments had
furnished the people with a" sound and
stable currency; that within twenty
years after the war the treasury was over
flowing and the nation's credit unprece
dented, and declared that in all that per
tained to the welfare of the people the
party had shown itself to be pro
gressive and the champion of law
and order; that the Republican
patty of to-day was the same as
that of other years in its devotion to prin
ciple, and its prompt response to the de
mands of the country. The resolutions
also expressed confidence that no true Re
publicans would be deceived into giving
aid and comfort to the Democratic party,
which, they stated, although masquer
ading now as the party of patriotism and
reform was essentially the same as when
it declared the war of the Union a failure,
denounced the amendments to the consti
tution, and persistently opposed all efforts
to improve the civil service.
BOUND TO KEEP UP USURIOUS DUTIES.
The resolutions further declared that
the Republicans of that city heartily ap
proved the policy of the party in protect
ing American industry and American
workingmen "from competition with anv
form of cheap or servile labor;” that the
party was pledged to a protective policy
and that whatever inequalities existed in
the present tariff would be corrected; that
the Democratic party could not evade its
responsibility for the late attempt in
Congress to legislate in favor of free
trade, for which it had also
declared in Chicago though in vague
aud evasive terms. The resolutions
further declared that the Republi
can party favored any policy which
tended to increase or extend Ameri
can commerce, and had opened up
many markets for American products in
tfc Western hemisphere. They com
mended the wise and dignified adminis
tration of President Arthur; expressed
full faith and confidence in the character,
capacity and patriotism of James G.
Blaine w ith a warm appreciation of
his eminent public services,and take pride
in his abilities, which they stated placed
him in the front rauk of A'merican states
men. Gen. Logan was eulogized as a re
presentative volunteer soldier, whose civil
record is distinguished and as pure as his
military services wore brave aud effective,
and bis nomination w r as heartily ratified.
Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, as orator of the
evening, delivered a long speech.
VIEWS OX THE NOMINATIONS.
Senator Reek Says that if It Can’t Be
Elected Then None Can.
Washington, July 15.—Senator Beck,
who has returned from Chicago, being
interviewed, said: “It was the greatest
convention ever held. It was composed
of the big men of the Democratic party
from all the States. The Republicans
couldn’t possibly have such a convention,
because everybody knows that their dele
gations from the South are the riff raff,
black and white, of that section. It is
the best ticket that could have been made.
If we can’t elect that ticket then
there is no use in our trying to
elect any. The Republicans are try
ing to extract some comfort front
Tammany’s dissatisfaction, but that will
do them mighty little good. If we had
not disappointed Tammany, then they
would have said that we had submitted
to its dictation, and that the ticket was
not worthy of support.” The Senator be
lieves Cleveland will carry New York by
at least 50,000 majority, and that he will
be elected.
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT FRAUDS.
Referring to the Navy Department
frauds, the Senator remarked, “Oh, we
don't know anything about them yet.
Just let U 9 elect a President and
get at those books, and the
stolen funds will run up to $6,300,-
000. Speaking of Secretary Chandler’s
letter to Mr. Hendricks, Senator Beck
said: “If Bill Chandler had half tbe hon
esty of Dr. Wales he would be a better
man than he is by a great deal. Why
doesn’t he put out the names of the Re
publican Senators who asked for Wales’
retention. I signed the petition, and I
would do it again. Dr. Wales is an hon
est man and a gentleman.”
SENATOR FAIR'S VIEW S.
Senator Fair, who has also returned
from Chicago, says that he does not know
Cleveland and cannot pass judgment upon
tbe merits of the nomination, but he
never, he says, saw a finer assemblage of
representative and sober business men at
a convention in bis life than those who
nominated Cleveland, and he knew that
the nomination must be the wisest possi
ble. Such men, he says, could not be
mistaken.
JACKSONVILLE’S RATIFICATION
The Campaign in the State Opened with
a Spirit which Bespeaks Success.
Jacksonville, July 15.— A large and
enthusiastic Cleveland and Perry ratifica

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANISM.
Harmony Among the Factions not at all
Probable.
Washington, July 15.—Ex-Rep
resentative Dezeudorf was asked to
day: “Is it true that the Republican Na
tional Committee are going to send a sub
committee to Virginia to harmonize mat
ters.”
“Yes,” he replied. “I believe that they
are going to send dow#a committee, but
I don’t expect that they will accomplish
anything. There are just two men who
stand in the way of harmony, and they
wont let anything be done. 1 mean Ala
hone and Brady.”
“What do the straightouts want?”
“We want an electoral ticket made up
of both sides. Now the truth is there is
only one man on Mahone’s electoral tick
et who even voted a Republican ticket.
That is Van Auken,and he is disqualified
as an elector, because he holds a Federal
office. Mahone says that his ticket is
made up ot representative men, bu t it
does not represent Republicanism, that’s

certain. We don’t insist upon any cer
tain men, but we want a good electoral
ticket. Such men as ex-Gov. Lewis, an
old time Republican, suit us. But vou
see Mabone and Brady mean to go right
ahead, and when they lose the State they
will say: ‘’Twas the straightouts; thev
wouldn’t support the ticaet.’ They don’t
intend to let us harmonize.”
WALL STREET NOT FOR BLAINE.
Hi Election Opposed Because It Wofild
Unsettle Business Interests.
Washington, July 15.—A. M. Kidder,
the well known Wall street broker, is one
of a number of New Fork moneyed Re
publicans who are quoted as having said
that they would not support Blaine under
any circumstances, and that they would
gladly support Cleveland. Mr. Kidder is
quoted specially as saying that he never
voted any but the Republican ticket, but
this year will have to support Cleveland.
Ten of his thirtee*clerks will do likewise,
lie says that Blaine will find the greatest
difficulty in attempting to raise the
usual campaign contribution from the
Republican treasury in Wall street this
year. The few who contribute will give
grudgingly. Mr. Kidder’s reason is that
Blaine is a demagogue and a trickster,
and that his election would unsettle
values and so annoy bUßineffs interests.
He sayß that Cleveland is not a brilliant
man, but he is honest and conservative,
and hence safe.

Work in the South.
Washington, July 15.—Ex-Minister

sor of Farley, Democrat, whose term ex
pires in 1885. William Pitt Kellogg goes
in a week to Louisiana to take the stump
lor Blaine. Steve Elkins is aliout to go
to West Virginia to 6ee what can
be done for Blaine there. He has
some idea that by combining
national with local Issues, he can carry
that State for Blaine. The control of the
Blaine campaign work in the Southwest
has, it is understood, been committed to
Stephen W. Dorsey, Powell Clayton, and
.Logan H. Roots. Thomas J. Brady, who
has still some influence, is expected to do
some quiet work for his iriend Blaine in

characters, embracing all sorts of proposi
tions, were opened and read.
ALL SORTS OF PROPOSALS.

class of material necessary for the work.
Nearly all of the bidders were parties out
side of the State. There were two bids
for the whole work, the bidders figuring
on lurnishing the material and doing the
construction. One or these was from the
Hallowell Granite Company, of Chicago,
for $1,163,000, The other was by

being classified.

classified by the commission and put in
shape for final consideration. This is a
tedious undertaking, and will not he fin
ished for several days. The commis
sioners are reticent as to what they will
do. As will he seen no bid was made to
complete the building according to the
plans and specifications and deliver it to
the State for the sum appropriated, $1,000,-
000.
POSSIBLE WINNERS.
The outside impression is that the bid
of Hallowell Granite Company will
be accepted, with the understand
ing that the commission will re
commend an additional appropria
tion to make up the excess. If
the proposal is accepted, popular opinion
is that dirt will be broken at once. The
commission has $lOO,OOO at its disposal
for this year. The remaining $900,000 will
be payable during the next five years.

FIGHTING OVER THE FRANCHISE
The House of Lords Stubborn, but Show
ing Sign* of Giving in.
London, July 15.—A conference of
Conservative, peers and members of the
House of Commons was held at noon to
day at the Carlton Club. Lord Salisbury
vigorously denounced Lord Wemyss’ pro
posed motion that the House of Lords con
sider and pass the franchise bill. Lord
Salisbury said that the House of Lords
would stultify themselves if they enter
tained Lord Wemyss’ resolution, which
was proposed on his own initiative. He
urged the House of Lords to ignore all
threats and to firmly refuse to permit the
franchise bill to pas 9 its second reading
until the government should distinctly
explain its plan for a redistribution of the
seats in the House of Commons. The
Earl of Jersey urged a compromise. Lord
Wemyss explained that he favoretl a com
promise on the bill.
The meeting finally, by an almost unani
mous vote, resolved to refuse to pass the
franchise bill tijl the government’s plan
for a redistribution ot the Parliamentary
seats should be submitted.
The Pall Mall Gazette continues to
threaten the House of Lords. It says:
“If a compromise on the franchise bill is
rejected, the Liberals will not sheath
their sword till they exterminate the
power which is incompatible with the
government of modern England.”
Mr. Gladstone has written a letter to
the Liberal Association of Leeds, in
which he says that he still hopes to avert
the loss of the franchise bill.
The Postmaster General, addressing a
Liberal meeting at Shoreditch this morn
ing, said that the government would make
no further concession on the franchise
question.

tion of the Conservative leaders, will
move in the House of Lords, Thursday,
that the House present an address to the
Queen asking her to summon an autumn
session of Parliament tb consider the
franchise question in conjunction with
the question of the redistribution of the
Parliamentary seats. The government is
not likely to accede to this request.
Lord Wemyss,finding only six Conserva
tive peers to support his motion in rela
tion to the franchise bill, has decided to
withdraw it from consideration from the
House of Lords.

LABOR ASSERTING ITSELF.
New York Typographical Union No. 6
Enters the Campaign Against Blaine.
The Boycotting Committee of Typo
graphical Union No. 6, says the New
York World of July 14, held au important
meeting yesterday in its rooms. It was
decided to send delegates to visit every
labor organization in the country
for the purpose of boycotting
the Tribune, and also James G.
Blaine. The delegates will start early
during the present week, and go to all the
leading towns and cities. It is the
intention of the committee to
make a thorough canvass of the
State of New York first, the work
in this city being left in the hands
of the committee, who have already de
voted much time and attention to the sub
ject, and with such gratifying results as
to prompt a general boycotting campaign
throughout the country, such as has now
been determined upon. There are about
fifty delegates who will be engaged in this
work. They are supplied with ample
funds, printed copies of the broken con
tract between the Tribune and the Union,
and thousands of copies of the Boycotter,
which will be widely distributed.
Invitations have’been received from
several trade and Republican political
organizations extending to the committee
the privilege of explaining the character
of their grievances before those bodies.
A campaign club was also formed yester
day of Republican printers, none of whom
ever voted a Democratic ticket, with the
intention of joining and co-operating
with similar campaign clubs all over the
country, for the purpose of boycotting
Blaine. It is estimated that the feeling
in opposition to the Tribune management
and also in opposition to Mr. Blaine
among Republican members of typograph
ical unions in this and other cities will in
the aggregate influence thousands of
votes in favor of the Democratic nominee
for the Presidency. And it is further con
fidently believed that when the commit
tee. which has just been appointed, com
pletes its work among the Knights of La
bor and kindred organizations, and
appeals to them in behalf of the just de
mands of labor, that such action will be
taken among those bodies as to result in
the casting of an immense vote for Cleve
land which would, under ordinary cir
cumstances, have been given to his politi
cal opponent.
The Boycotting Committee express
themselves as determined never to rest
until Typographical Union No. 6 is recog
nized in the Tribune office.
It is also said that a number of leading
Republicans, who are in sympathy with
the just demands of the typographical
Union in this struggle, are seriously con
sidering the advisability of establishing a
first-class Republican protection organ in
this city, to be conducted directly in op
position to the Tribune. Ample funds for
the purpose can easily be obtained, and it
is the opinion of many Republicans that
in view of the unfair treatment of the
Tribune towards the Union such a venture
would prove both popular and profitable.
A Woman’s Stand for Whisky.
Chicago, July 15.—A special from
Marshalltown, lowa, says: “A woman

flourished revolvers, the woman was
arrested. A crowd surrounded the jail
and threatened to tear it down. When re
leased on bail, the woman was triumph
antly (carried through the streets by the
veiling populace. Her action is said to
have been taken at the instance of a
brewery company, which pi'oposes to
make a test case.

documents, such as agricultural reports
and bound volumes of any and all sorts,
do send a great many speeches. They
are more interested in carrying their
States than they are in making personal
friends of the people, so that the pleasant
task of sending agricultural reports to
farmers and other documents to other
sorts of people they leave to members,
while they confine their attention more to
speeches which they expect will have
more effect upon public sentiment as to
the choice between Republican and
Democratic parties.”
‘‘And where do all these speeches go?
These 6,000,000 that have been already
sent.”
“In every direction; more especially, of
course, to the doubtful States and to the
States where the tariff question is likely
to play an important part in the com
ing contest, but they go everywhere.”
“And what are they about?”
“Tariff. Nearly everything is ;ariff. Of
course speeches containing agricultural
information are sent to the farmers and
others about manufactures and matters of
this sort to manufacturers, but the large
proportion of speeches sent out are upon
the tariff, and if they give any other in
formation give it incidentally.”
“Whose speeches are most sent?”
“On the Democratic side Hurd’s
speeches are probably the most popular
of any. We have sent out a great num
ber of his—l could not say how many;
100,000, or perhaps 200,000*. They have
gone in every direction, of course, but
more especially West and Northwest,
where the tariff reform is most popular.
A good many have been sent to the South,
too. Next to Hurd’s, Morrison’s speeches
are probably the most popular. Of Mr.
Hewitt’s a good many are sent out,
though they do not go so much to the
West.”
“And on the Republican side?”
“On the Republican side McKinley’s
speeches are the most sought after and
the most sent out. We have sent a great
many of bis. llorr’s go pretty well, and
of course Kelley’s are popular.”
“How many more of the speeches of
this session will be sent out, do you sup
pose ?”
“That is pretty hard to answer. From
the experience of former Presidential
campaigns I should say there will be 2,-
000,000 or 3,000,000 of the House speeches,
to say nothing of those in the Senate.”
“Supposing then the number of Senate
speeches yet to be sent out about in the
same proportion it would bring the crand
total of speeches made in this Congress,
distributed and to be distributed, some
thing like 10,000,000, will it?”
“Probably about 10,000,000, yes.”
“These people must spend considerable
money in sending out their speeches in
such large numbers, do they not?”
“Yes; they pay for the printing and the
paper on which they are printed. We
furnish the envelopes and they are
franked through the mails, yet the
amount paid for printing 8,000,000 or
10,000,000 speeches is considerable. The
Senators expend considerable on matters
of this sort. I could give you the name oj
one Senator who I know is spending
SI,OOO of this year’s salary in this work.
Flower, who has been mentioned sev
eral times at Chicago this week, spent
several thousands in la9t Congress in dis
tributing his- own speeches—probably
twice the amount of his salary. It was
no unusual thing for orders tb come in
from him for 15,000 or 20,000 and some
times 35,000 copies of his speeches at one
time. He sent hundreds of thousands of
them.”
The force of employes in the House
folding room, which numbers about 150,
is still busy. Orders still come in from
members to have their speeches printed,
folded and mailed.

A WESTERS MAZEPPA.
Ride of a Young Man who Waa Stripped
of His Clothing and Lashed to a
Broncho.
Mr. Bouesaud, a wealthy cattle owner,
whose herds range In the unorganized
territory of Northwestern Nebraska, says
an Omaha special to the Philadelphia
rimes, has just returned from the annual
“round-up” in that region, and relates a
tale of the plains that ia in some respects
a counterpart of the Orthodox Mazeppa.
When Mr. Boussaud reached his ranch,
about the middle or June, he found his
cowboys nursing a young man whom they
had rescued from the hack of a broncho.
When discovered the modern Mazeppa
was lasbed to the horse, entirely naked
and unconscious. The animal was about
broken down, as if from long running,
and was easily lassooed by the cowboys,
who cut the thongs and released the
strange captive.
This happened about two weeks before
Mr. Boussa ud’s arrival, andduringall that
time the stranger had lain in a stupor.
A few days before Boussaud left on his re
turn journey to Omaha, haviug a little
smattering of medical knowledge, he suc
ceeded in restoring the patient to eon
sciotisness. and his recovery was rapid.
When able to talk he said his name was
Heni*y Burbank, that he was an English
man and 34 years of age. About three
years ago at Falmouth, England, he
formed a partnership with a friend named
Thomas Wilson, some years his senior,
and with him came to Amer
ica to embark in the eaft
tie business. They cast around for a
while and finally settled in northwestern
Nebraska, where the range was unlimited
and herders few and far apart. Thev
built a comfortable ranch on a little
stream, where Wilson’s young wife
reigned as housekeeper, attended by two
or three female domestics.
Burbank was a handsome young gal
lant, and while Wilson was absent riding
about the range found it agreeable to
make love to the latter’s wife. This went
on for some months, until in the latter
part of May one of the cowboys who had
a grievance against Burbank surprised
him and Mrs. Wilson in a compromising
situation aud informed the woman’s hus
band, whose jealousy had already been
aroused. That night Burbank was cap
tured, while asleep in bed, by Wilson and
three of his men, and bound before he had
a chance to resist. Wilson had hitn
stripped of every bit of clothing and
bound on the back of a wild broncho,
which was started off by a vigorous lash
ing.
Before morning Burbank became un
conscious, and is therefore unable to tell
anything about his terrible trip. He
thinks that the outrage was committed
on the night of May 27 and he was rescued
on the morning of June 3, which would
make seven days that he had been travel
ing about the plains on the horse’s back
without food sr drink and exposed to
the sun and wind. Wilson’s ranch is
about 200 miles Irotn the spot where Bur
bank was found, but it is hardly probable
that the broncho took a direct course, and
therefore must have covered many more
miles in hi 9 wild journey. When fully re
stored to health Burbank proposes to
make a visit of retaliation on Wilson and
will be backed by Boussattd’s men anil
also a squad front the Ogallala Land and
Cattle Company, whose range is near
Boussaud’s.
DAN CUPID’S STRATEGY.
A Country Chloe and Her Swain Make
a Slippered Guardian Sing Small.
In James City county lives Mr. Rich
ardson, says the Norfolk Virginian, who,
until recently, had a stepdaughter, Miss
Inez Crittenden, of whom he was proud.
She had sat under vine and
the back porch and joined in sweet con
verse with her lover, Mr. Chas. S. Bailey.
These Madeira vine symposiums were
held at various intervals until the young
people were in love with each othen But
the old gentleman bolted the convention
and refused to confirm the nomination.
So the independents came to Norfolk on
Monday last and applied to the clerk of
the court for a license to get married. The
deputy, Mr. Coleman, asked the age
of the young lady and was told sho was
eighteen. lie informed the young couple
that they must bring the consent of the
young lady’s father or guardian, and was
told that she had neither. With his usual
caution the deputy demanded the written
consent of the lady’s mother and formu
lated such a document, which was taken
from the office and returned with the sig
nature of Mahala Crittenden and wit
nessed by W. T. Ballentine. The license
was then issued aud nothing else heard of
the matter until stepfather Richardson
made his appearance in the Clerk’s office
yesterday and demanded upon what au
thority the license had been issued. Mr.
Coleman produced the written consent of
the mother, as above stated, and step
father Richardson foamed at the mouth
and pronounced it a forgery, at the same
time declaring that he would proceed
against witness Ballentine. The couple
are supposed to be in the city and the old
gentleman went to look for them.
Bailey and Ballentine were both ar
rested in the afternoon and brought be
fore Justice Saunders, who released them
on bail. Ballentine tells a funny story,
to the effect that as he was passing down
Bank street he was stopped near Hine’s
wood yard and asked by Bailey if he
would witness the signature of the girl’s
mother to a permit for her marriage. An
old woman handed him the paper, and he,
supposing her to be the girl’s mother,
readily witnessed the signature, which, it
is said, was written by the girl. The old
gentleman was not so irate in the after
noon and was disposed to do the God
bless-you-my-ehildren act.
HUNTING FOR AMERICAN HIS
TORY.
•
Work on the Capitol Dome Suspended
Until Home Is Found.
The authorities who have in charge the
historic fresco work which is lieing
painted around the walls of the Capitol
dome about one hundred feet above the
floor, says a Washington special, have
struck a snag. Signor Castoggine, the
successor of the late Signor Brumidi, was
putting the finishing touches on the last
scene furnished him by Architect Clark
and made a demand for another piece of
American history. It was then the
lamentable discovery was made that
there was not enough history to go
round. The spirit of the allegory must lie
maintained, and that precludes the idea
of introducing the events of a merely
domestic character. The great change’s
that have taken place in our own govern
ment were thought to be out of sympathy
with the theme as it has been pursued up
to this time. Architect Clark, Librarian
Spofford and several other great histori
ans laid their heads together and made
numerous suggestions, among which were
tbe discovery of gold, the driving of the
last spike on the railroad which
spanned the continent and the
tragedy of the assassination of Lin
coln and Garfield. None of these ap
pealed to the fine artistic sense of the old
Roman, who shrugged his shoulders dis
dainfully at the crude suggestions and
looked unutterable contempt at such
proof of the rneagemess of American his
tory. The bald fact is, therefore, that
work on the frtscoe is suspended for want
of history and will not be resumed before
next fall, when, it is hoped, enough his
tory will have been discovered to go
around. At present the allegory extends
about three-fourlhs of the way around the
wall.
