Senator Camden’s Voracions Alligator.
Senator Camden, of West Virginia,
has just returned from a brief sojourn .ic
Florida, whither he went to seek relief
from Senatorial overwork, says a recent
letter in the Baltimore Herald. He is
< hock full of stories about the adventures
he had iu the land of orange blossoms.
“One day,” said he, “I went out hunt
ing, but, between you nnd me, I’m no
slouch with a gun. After killing a few
deer, one or two bears, thirty or forty
■squirrels and a dozen or so wild turkeys,
I concluded to return to the hotel. It
was still early, but I was tired packing
round my load of game. I was going
along the bank of a creek, and coming
across a friendly log I thought I would
sit down and rest, I laid my rifle and
game down by the log and took a scat. I
had a lunch of cold chicken in my haver
sack. I had breakfast at daylight and
was pretty hungry. So I took out the
chicken and began to eat. When I had
finished my repast I to.ik the pocket
knife I had been using to cut the chicken
and drove the blade into the log, intend
ing to let it rest there until I could get
out my pocket-handkerchief and wipe
my hands. But, great scot! You ought
to have seen that log! It was (he most
sensitive log I ever saw. When I drove
my knife into it, quicker than lightning,
it humped itself like a bucking mule and
gave me a flap with its little end that
sent me sprawling about thirty feet
away. Blame my buttons, if that log
wasn’t a Florida alligator twenty-eight
feet long, with a tail like a cross-cut saw
and teeth as sharp and long as tusks of a
b >ar.
“When I scrambled to my feet and
looked at the log—l mean the aligator—-
there it was, standing rampant on its
feet, with eyes gariug and its teeth
grinding savagely together. I dared
not run, for I was told never to run from
an alligator, as he would be sure to pur
sue and overtake me. So I stood trans
fixed to the spot, What did the alliga
tor do? Keeping his gaze fixed steadily
upon me, he deliberately backed to
whgjie my pile of game lay and pitched
in. First he ate up the bears, then the
deer. Smacking his chops like a regu
lation boarding-house hash-eater, he then
turned on the squirrels and wild turkeys,
and when he got through there wasn’t a
hair or feather to be seen. I’ll undertake
to sky that no alligator ever before had
such a rare banquet. How the alligator
held all that feed I don’t understand,
but lie did. When he got through there
wasn’t a thing left but my rifle, and he
noseyed around that for several seconds
as if he intended io eat it, too, but he
didn’t. JVhat did he do then? Well,
sir, that alligator deliberately turned his
tail to the bank, and, keeping his eye on
me, backed to the edge. Then, witli a
snort and a bellow, he plunged lail-fore
most into the water. I got to my rifle in
the fraction of a second, rushed to the
edge and looked down. I was pantiug
for revenge, but I couldn’t sec anything
except a succession of Waves impelling
each other toward the other shore. The
alligator was at the bottom of the stream.
I staid there an hour watching for him,
but he was too sharp to come to the sur
face. I bet you lie’s got that knife ol
mine sticking in his back yet,for I drove
it in pretty deep. You see, the alligator
was sound asleep when I was sitting on
h ni. but sticking the knife in him wok<
him up.” _ ,
A Dangerous Pastime.
“Isn’t it against the rules to touch the
animals at the menagerie, ma?” asked
Bobby.
“I believe so,” was the reply.
“An’dangerous, too, ain't it?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Well, pa had better look out, then. I
heard Mr. Smith tell him that if he didn’t
quit pulling the tail of the tiger he’d be
lorry for t.”— Jfw Jerk Timet,

A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE MATERIAL AND INI’ELLECTUAL ADVANCEMENT OF OUR COUNIT.
LOUISVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 22,1886.
A WOMAN BOYCOTTED.
How Hr., (.ray’s Bakery Business wnl !
Increased Thereby.
The New York papers contain a rather
amusing account of an attempt made by a
hand of uuion bakers to boycott the bakery
of Mr.?. Fslhor A. Gray, on Hudson street,
1 be muse she refused to compel her h dp to join
the bakers’ union. An account of the boy
cotters anil their methods is given by a met
ropolitan daily as follows:
Tin l meu seemed to be in charge of a man
who called himself Schmidt and said he was
a “walking delegate.” He refused to answer
anv questions, and no one seemed to be able
or willing to restrain the men from annoying
pedestrians, whether customers of the bakery
or not. Outside tli? store of Mrs. Graj', was
one lonesome-looking policeman, who simply
stood still and mnxle no attempt to prevent
the molestation of customers by the boy cot
ters. In some cases customers were followed
to their homos and memoranda made of their
addresses.
While her tormentors were engaged in
their effort to wreck her business Mrs. Gray
was busilv engaged iu her store celling her
bread, cates and pies to her customers. “So
far as 1 have been able to judge,” she re
marked, “my trade has increased since the
boycott was ordered. I have customers now
that did not come before, aud the loss ha?
been from the very poorest class of trade.
My lm n have been kept busier than ever,and
I expect that business will be good right
along. I askpd the police to protect me,
anl an officer was sent here. He is
standing right outside the door. My custom
ers complain of being annoyed by these men,
but what ran I do* I don’t want to let the
boy cotters run my business. Why should I?
My men are satisfied as they are; they don’t
want to join a union, an l what these uuion
men have to do with tie matter I can’t see.
They certainly take the cake, but I don’t
think they’ll get my bakery away from me.”
Tiie grocery stores in the neighborhood
which sold Mrs. Gray’s bread have all ceased
selling it, as a boycott was threatened against
them if they continued to deal with the
steadfast lady. A lad}' who bought seme
bread and cake at the bakery went to a
grocery store in the vicinity and ordered
some groceries. She asked the clerk to send
the bread, cake and groceries to her home.
“Whoso bread have you i" asked the
clerk.
“Why, what difference does that make?”
asked the astonished lady.
“Nothing; ouly if it’s Gray’s bread wo
can’t even send it home for you. There is a
boycott against it.”
“Then if you can’t send the bread nnd cake '
you needn’t send any groceries,” remarked
the lady.
Many men living up town stopped at tin
bakery during the evening an l bought
bread or cake to take home as .an evidence of
their appreciation of the stand taken by Mrs.
Gray. People living in Hoboken also made
purchases cn their way to tho Christopher
street ferry. It was rumored about tho
Ninth Ward late in the evening that tho
boycotters were th nking of raising the siege
as a means of preventing the further growth
of Mrs. Gray’s business.

OF THE RAILROAD STRIKES.
\ Collision Between Oflleers nnd Slriker*
In Which the Former Fire :i Volley.
The bloody collision betwem strikers an l
deputies at Fort Worth, Texas, has been fol
lowed by a still more terrible'and deplorable
episode in East. St. Louis, 111., on th i Missis
sippi river, and just opposite St. Louis. The
trouble, as described by dispatches, cam *
about as follows:
The varims railroa is svm dto b. moving
ail uuusna'.ly Largo quantitvabf ;ght, par
Ocularly the Louisville & Nashville. Wnen
tli strike was ordered ' tweutj'-seven of
this company’s left its
service. Their pin iL * were qni ddy
filled, and thirty deputy sheriffs were eai
ployel by tho company to proteat the new
men anil its property. Tho otlLer.s were
ai\n*d with W incuoster rifles, s >nu of them
carrying revolvers also. T. G. Hewlett was
m ide their leader. More than half the force
guarded the freight housos of tho company,
while the rest of them protected incoming an l
outgoing train;. Trains wore continually pass
ing t > and fro from the freight h msesallday,
and before 10 o’clock in the morning him
dreds of idle men and boys and a few women
gatherel on and about the rickety wooden
bridge that spans a small ho ly of muddy wa
ter known as Cahokia creek. The Louisville
and Nashville road running west croseo; this
crook on a trestle.
At 10 o’clock 300 persons stood on the
bridge watching tho trains pass. Tli?
rougher element cursed the trainmen, and
promised them at short shrift in the near fu
ture. The depuiy sheriffs who stood on the
trestle work were treated in the same way.
Sheriff Roplequet appeared with a small
posse and ordered the crowd to disperse. The
law-abiding persons in it di 1 so. The others
paid no attention to the deman 1. The
shiriff left tho ground at once aud tele
graphed to Governor Oglesby the condition
of affairs and asked for military h dp. Mean
while* the crowd ha l never moved from its
p ttiblon or changed its tactics except t> grow
more violent iu its demonstrations against the
tra’union and their guards. It suffer© I de
sertions hut gained more than it lost, and at.
2 o'clock tho liridgo an 1 its vicinity was oc
cupied by a mob of 40.) or 500 persons. Many
of the younger men in it carried stones in
their hands, and when opportunity offered
hurled them at tho armed men on the trestle
work or at the men on passing trains. Sav
age curses and epithets were also hurled at
them.
Nine men stood on the trestle work. Th*y
were between two crowds and fa"od about at
short intervals. Tho only on? who exhibited a
revolver was Charles Kensler, the “cowboy
fireman.” lie carried two pistols iu hi?
belt and had tin* barrel of his Win
chester slung over his left arm. The guards
made no reply to the abuse showered ou them
and tho mob grew bolder. It stood on a
thoroughfare and felt safe. Finally one man
stepped on the company’s property. 1 >eputy
Hewlett promptly arrested him. A part, of
the mob surged forward to the rescue. A
voice cried “Kill the cowboy.” There was
a pistol shot, which in a few seconds
was followed by tho ringing reports of
Wiuchest?r rifles'. The shrieks and yells that
rose from the? crowd could be heard on
the bridge, a third **f a mil * away. “Crack,
crack” v.nfc the deadly rifles. The crowd
split into two unequal parts and ran like mad
in opposite directions. The small and the
weak were knocked down and trampled upon.
Terror was king and drove all before him.
The deadly hail had been fired at short range
against a solid wall of flesh and blood. The
guards were seemingly appalled at the ex
tent and nature of the retaliation
they had inflicted ou their persecu
tors. On the bridge and roadway lay Mrs
John Pfeifer, shot through the spiuo and
uurtally wounded; John Bonner, a coal
miner, dead; Oscar Washington, a painter,
devl; Patrick Dris.Mll, a Wabash sectio.i
hand, dead, and Major Rychman, a roll in;
mill e nploye, shot in tho head and shoulder,
mortally wounded.
When tho fleeing mob recovered from its
terror, and turning saw its assailants in full
flight toward the Louisville and Nashvill?
freight house, shouts rose from it of “To arms,
to arms,” and men who stood over the den l
and wounded vowed they would have a terri
ble revenge. Some of the wildest spirits
rushed through the town calling on the
strikers and their friends to arm them
selves and kill all deputy sheriffs on sight.
Pale-faced men soon appeared n the streets
armed with revolvers mil shotguns. Hero
and there a man could be seen carrying a
small coil of rope. Th ? cry of “Hang them”
kept pace with that of “Kill them all.” Tiie
fleeing guards never stopped till thoy reached
tho Louisville and Nashville freight house.
They quickly warned th ir comrades
to flee to St. Louis for their
lives. Rome of the men refused,
and barricaded the freight house with the in
tention of protecting it agaiust assault. These
men were afterward com ©llo 1 to fly and
narrowly escaped with their lives. Hunting
parties were organize 1 by their enemies, an l
every cranny that could pbssibly shelter a
do mty sheriff was searched.
The fleeing deputies were crossing the iron
bridge on their way to St. L mis when they
were met by Mayor Joyce, of East St. Louis,
and some officers, aud aske.l to return, but
they refused to go back. Mayor Joyce and
Officer Dowd endeavored V) drag two of tLe
guards with them. One of the guards who
wnsn tin custody raised his rifle and tired in
l.ho direction o? tho crow 1. O. E Til > up? >a,
of St. T'Ouis, droppe 1 in his trades, shot in tin
I stomach. At this report the two guards with
Mayor Joyce aud Officer Dowd tore t hem
selves loose. One of them struck the mayor
with his diibbed rifle, knocking him down.
Both men at once joined their companions
and continued their flight a toss the bridge.
The scene on the bridge was one of wildest
confusion and excitement. Coal trains
lcadol aud unload© 1, and vehfcle; of all

200 Feet High.
A Greenfield (Mas?.) dispatch of tho 7th
gives the following particulars of the fright
ful railroad disaster which occurred that
night, midway between Bard well’s ferry and
West Deerfield station, the east bound passen
ger train from North Adams, due at Green
field at 6:05 r. m. going over an embankment
200 feet in height:
The train was the Eastern express, and con*
sist vl of a baggage car, a smoker, a sle *ping
car, a mail car, and two ordinary passenger
, cars. r l h > train was in charge of Con
ductor Foster, with Herbert Littlejohn as
engine .r. Tho point where the accident o*-
| curred is the most dangerous on the road,
i The track runs on the edge of an embankment
! 20i) feet above Deerfield river. The hank is
; steep and is covered with huge boulders and
| masses of shale rock with which the road-bed
, had boon filled. When the train arrrived at
this point the track began to settle under
i it for a distance covering its entire length.
The coaches broke from their trucks and went
I rolling over and over down the precipice.
: The engine broke from tho tender, tearing up
the track for twenty feet. Below rolled tho
i Deerfield river, on tho very edge of which
; the cars were thrown. As soon as they struck
i they caught fire from the stoves. The shrieks
i of the wound© 1 and dying filled the air, ami
1 for a time the scene was terrible. Tho sieep
i ing car, occupie l by several passengers, was
an entire wreck. One little girl was picked
up dead.
i As soon as tho news reached Greenfield a
special train was ma le up aud sent to the
| scene of the disaster, having on hoard sever
al physicians and section men and a few
j citizens. On arriving nt the scone
!of the wreck a horrible sight was
I witnessed. The dnrkn*ss of night
I had settled over the spot. Ear down on the
j river bank could be seen tho smouldering
; embers of the train. It was impossible to toil
j who was tyirt aud who was killed. Ktout
! hearted trackmen were lower© 1 cautiously
; down the treacherous height, and the work of
! res ue began.
Merritt Seely, superintendent of the Na
tional Express company, of Boston, was
j found in the wreck and taken to the relief
ir. He ha la wound four inches long and
! half an inch wide over his left temple. His
left thigh was broken, and also his left leg at
, the knee, bes de which he sustained fatal
internal in juries.
; The Fitchburg coach was the only one that
: escap'd the conflagration. Doputy Sheriff
Bryant, of Greenfield, who was iu this car,
res.nod the bodies of two children from th3
tin-nos, but one was dead and the other dy
ing. I). C. Wells, of Andover, had his shoul
der hurt aud his head cut. The car in which
he was riding was broken in two. and stood
on end within a few feet of the river bank.
Nicholas Dorgan, of Greenfield, bad his left
1 arm and ankle broken, and was seriously in
jured internally. A little girl who was a
passenger ou tho train died in his arms from
; injuries received. J. E. Priest,of Littleton,
N. H., had his face and head cut. Engineer
Herbert Littlejohn, of North Adams, was
i hadlv scalded, it was believed, fatally. A.
i K. Warner, chairman of the Greenfield board
of selectmen, was 1 ally hurt.
At midnight four more bodies were taken
from the wreck, including that of Brakeman
Spencer. This made six persons found dead
up to that time; several were fatally injured,
aud many others more or less seriously hurt.

suddenly it turned its h-nd an l bit him on
the back of bis right hand. Although the
animal exhibited no symptoms of hv
drophobia, Dr. Warner at once cant rizi'd
his wounds, three or four teeth marks, and a
policeman soon afterward shot ami killed
the dog. Dr. Warner was naturally of a
nervous ' dis;o lition, and often worried
over the bit>, although it gave him no
pain. Thursday he was tu' on slightly ill bin;
yvent to his office as usual. The next day in
fell upon the kitchen floor, and when picked
up was very nervous and excited. Saturday
lie went to bod and the delirium began. The
symptoms of rallies had become pronounced.
There was a wild look about the eyes, lie
could not swallow water, and in his delirium
! l>e imagined there were dogs under
the bed. So vividly was this
idea impressed on bis mind that ho spron
from his bed and rushed to another part of
the room, but the animals seemed to pursno
him wherever ho went, and ho moved resl-
I lessly about from side to side of the apart

A story they tell about Andrew Jeck,
the veteran railway mail clerk, comes in
well at this time, when they arc making
so many changes in the postal service.
Jeck is the oldest railway mail clerk in
Maine and there are few, if any, on the
postal cars anywhere, as old as lie; yet
he is active, efficient, and as sharp as
a leiu : of removal from Vilas. Years
ago another fellow succeeded in getting
himself appointed to til! deck's place.
Of course Jeck consented to make one or
two trips with him to show him the
ropes. It happened that on the first trip
they made together there was an acci
dent and the car was thrown from the
track. Jack caught firmly hold of his
table when he felt the first jar and came
out of the accident unscathed and not in
the least disconcerted. The novice was
flung in a heap into one corner and badly
bruised.
“Does this sort of thing happen very
often?” he asked Jeck.
“Oh, yes,” said Jeck, “And I forgot
to tell you that we all have a place to
cling to, when it comes. You must have
a holding-place purposely flxed to get a
stiff grip on with your hands.”
The top of the car was much battered
by time and the new man asked, before
they had gone much further on the route:
I “Jlr. Jeck, what has made all those
j scars in the top of the ear?”
“That’s nothing,” said Jeck, “It’s
, only where my heels have struck when
: I've been tossed into the air by accidents
such as we have had this morning.”
When they linished their run, the new
I appointee said he guessed he had enough
of it, and would go back to selling
groceries for a living; and Jeck stayed
' in the railway mail service then and ever
; after.
Jokers Outwitted.
A party of smart young, students in a
■ certain town in Kentucky conceived the
brilliant idea last winter of hazing their
new professor. It was decided after
much deliberation to invite him coon
hunting, and after leading him about in
the woods until completely bewildered
to abandon him, and let him find his way
back to the settlement or remain in the
woods all night. Now, as the professor
was a stranger and weighed over two
hundred pounds, this scheme seemed too
i funny for anything, and many a hearty
laugh did they have over it. The invi
tation was given and accepted; the ap
pointed night came, cold and clear with
several feet of snow on the ground.
Everything moved along ns arranged.
The professor seemed guileless and un
suspecting, but beneath his puffy eyelids
now and then gleamed an amusing twin
kle. They had plodded through the
snow for several hours, and the leader
was about to give the signal to disperse
when the professor sank to the ground
with a groan of agony.
“Oh! oh!” he moaned, “oncof my at
I tacks again. For mercy!* sake, boys,
i get me to a place of shelter, or I’m a dead
man.”
Talk about scared boys. Here they
\ were nearly five miles from the nearest
house and an apparently dying man on
their hauds. Something must be done,
nnd quickly, too! A litter was hastily
improvised, aud with coats for cushions,
, the professor was gently laid thereon and

practical jokers, taking turns at carrying
their massive preceptor.
Not a sound was heard but the moans
of the professor anil the grunts of tne
students, who were straining every nerve
to keep from jostling the patient. After
what seemed a score of miles, the weary,
bedraggled fellows carefully lowered
their burden to snatch a few minutes’ rest,
before entering the village, which was
within a stone’s throw, when, what was
their surprise to see the professor leisure
ly arise from his comfortable couch and
coolly observe:
“Jluch obliged, lioys! much obliged.
But one word. The next time I wanted
to play practical jokes I would select an
invalid fora subject,” and with a chuckle
he strode off.
And those boys sat there in the snow
and raved until they incited a place
about them of half an acre. —Sum the

Preacher and Landlord.
When Rev. Dr. Tappan was the agent
of the American Home Mission society he
once made a trip through the northeast
ern part of Maine on horseback. It was
before the days of railroads. On arriv
ing at Mattawamkeag, where he was
pleasantly entertained, he was told he
had better remain over night there, as the,
place which he intended to make his
next station was rather rough and un
comfortable, and the landlord was a rude,
blasphemous man, who might not use
him well. But Dr. Tappan was anxious
to carry out his itinerary as he had
planned it, and journeyed on. Ho ar
rived at his destination at dusk. The land
lord came out, greeted him cordially.
| took his horse and put him up, hastened
| in to help entertain his reverend guest,
prepared a nice warm supper for him, and
was as polite us a lightning-rod agent.
Just before Dr. Tappan retired, the
landlord and all his family, arranged in
procession according to their ages filed into
the room with much decorum, and the
j doctor was asked to lead them in family
worship, which he cheerfully did.
The next morning after the doctor had
; dressed, the host, his wife, his boys, and
all his girls, all neatly attired, came in
\ again, and the same request was made
and granted.
After a good breakfast the doctor’s
nag was brought to the door, saddled
and bridled, and the good man prepared
jto go on his way. He asked for his
' bill.
“Not a cent,” said the landlord, cheer
i ily.
The doctor thought this reply was
strange from a landlord preceded by
such an ill reputation, and said : “Why !
I must pay you for my entertainment.”
“You don’t owe me a cent," said the
inn-keeper. “The fact is that tin ped
dlers, butchers, drovers, fishmen, and all
classes of people come here to stop with
j me, and I make it a point to take my pay
lin their own line whenever I can. I’ve
| done tho same by you. You’ve paid.
| Good morning, sir!”
The good old divine used to tell this
anecdote himself with great relish.—

Not a Cancer but a Lizard.
Jfrs. J. C. AYiliiston, the wife of a
contractor and builder of Cleveland,
Ohio, has recently returned from an ex
tended trip after a most remarkable ex
perience. Mrs. AYiliiston is not yet
thirty, but her hair is almost white, and
her face bears the signs of a life of suf
fering. She has been the victim for
years,at varying hours of uightand day,of
pains like the cutting of a knife, and
physicians supposed her to be suffering
from cancer of the stomach. Em
inent physicians failed to exactly locate
the trouble or afford the lady relief. She
spent months in travel and large amounts
of money endeavoring to find effective
treatment for her malady, but most of
the physicians whom she consulted said
that her disease was cancer of the stom
ach and that death would ultimately re
sult.
Last October she went to San Fran
cisco, stopping nnd treating, while eu
rpute, at the soda springs of Idaho, but
in vain. Later she tried the waters of
. Calestoga Springs and the baths of Passo
del Robles, without effect. San Fran
cisco's best physicians could afford no
relief,and she started for Sonora, Mexico,
intending to visit some celebrated springs
near Nogales. She was taken seriously
ill at Tucson, Arizona. One day
during her illness a Papago Indian, of
local notoriety as a “medicine man,”
i visited Tucson from St. Xavier's mission,
i He was taken to Jlrs. Williston's rooms
I and asked if he could tell her ailment.
j He looked at her, had her describe the
l pains and their location, and then with
the exclamation, “Me sabe heap bad
spirit,” lie rushed out and toward the
mission. In a few hours lie returned
with herbs and a basket of mescal, a root
used by the Indians for food.
He motioned to Jlrs. Williston to swal
low the herbs. They made her deathly
sick, so much so that she almost died
from fright, thinking she had been
poisoned. The result, after a few hours,
was the emission of a dead lizard that
was fully four inches in length. It was
apparently of a species common to the
East, but how it had managed to live
for so many years was the mystery. Mrs.
AYiliiston says that but one explanation
occurs to her, which is that when a child,
and living at Phillipsburg, N. J., she
and her brother were accustomed to
drink from a little brook that ran near
the house. They would scoop the water
up with their hands, and she thinks that
possibly in this way she swallowed the
embryo lizzard. Mrs. JVilliston’s re
covery has been rapid, and she is now
fairly ou tho way to a complete restora
tion to health. Though the taking of
living objects into the system is not rare,
medical men say that this is one of the
most remarkable cases on record.
A Remarkable Cave.
Away down in the southwest of Nevada
there is a remarkable cave in the side of
the mountains. Negr by. a little rill of
water pours down the.slope, soon to bo
swallowed up by the thirsty soil. The
broken-off shafts ofa'rroyvs are to be seen
sticking in the soft flock that constituted
the root of the: xathedtai-dike dome. It
is said that many years ago a party of the
race of Shoshones were driven into this
cave by their hereditary enemies, tho
Piutes. Their defense was so stubborn
that the council was called, and the peace
made was to last so long as a single arrow
remained imbedded in the rock overhead.
