It Captures Mount Joy, Pa , atici Arouaos a Citizen's Wrath. From fJiv New York Star. Mount Joy, Pa., July' 33.—“ Because that steer was raised on Don Cameron’s farm, ho think.: the road ain’t good enough for him! Who’s got a gun?” exclaimed an excited, and indignant eiti/. n of t-l.is village the other day. as a fat and glossy steer sauntered coolly and independently along the sidt walk oud edged the citizen oir into the street. The steer was one of a number that Sena tor Don l'ainer<m’.s tenant farmer was driving through the village to reach the -took yards for shipment. The rest of the cattle walk'd in the middle of tbestreet, but this particular slror took to the sidewalk, and resi-tsl all efforts to drive him off. lie made no hostile manifestations toward any of the pcdi'-trians he met, lmt simply edged them off l>y turning neither to the right nor to the left, ns ho went along. He stop- ped at two gla- ; store fronts oa liis jaunt and looked in at tlio Jgrxxlx dis played, and when ho reached llrenncmitn’s crockery store, w hich is down a small flight of stairs from the straff, he delilierately walked down as if he intended to give the town a sight of the proverbial bull in a china shop. Before be put his head in at the ojien door, however, a clerk slatmu "1 it shift, Tlio steer sho> ik his head and came buck up the stairs. The citizen who had grown in dignant. over the alleged arist'XTntic bontof the steer’s mind was there and shouted: “This Cameron steer must bo shot! Where's a cun?” No one told him where there was a gun, and the steer kept on down the sidewalk. The farmer shouted nt him and tried his In ;t to induce him to come out in tlieroal like his less inquisitive companions, hut the steer refused to come. The commotion in tho'street brought people to w indows and doors. The small l>oy eollivtisl and added his shouts and a few stones and sticks t<> the efforts of the fanner. Tlio steer in the mean time, keeping its teni|ier and preserving a calm demeanor, took a fancy to Frank Gram's tailor shop. Unlike the crock- ry store, the tailor shop is reached by n flight of steps lending up from tho street. The steer deliberately mounted the steps, and in another moment would have been ill the shop, as the door was o|ien, but he w as discovered by one of tin-girls nt work near the door. Gin- gave a scream that drowned tho jubilant ecus of tho small hoy in the struct, and exclaimed: “Oh! Mr. Gram, sec the runaway cow coming in to hook us!” The tailor was on the other side of the shop. He cleared it at a single jump, grubbed the door, and banged il to. Tho steer had evidently hoard himself called a runaway cow, for he showed his tirst signs of resentment. When the door slammed in his face he gave it two or three ugly thrusts with his horns, as if he would go m anyhmy and see about the matter. But, he soon re gained his equanimity, and backed down the steps while the miscellaneous gathering of citizens, big and little, male and female, that had collected nt the bottom of the steps, scattered in all directions. The indignant citizen was thore and shouted: ’’Somebody get- mo a gun. i'll show Don Cameron that though ho may run this Stale his cattle can't run this town!” Nobody got n gull. The farmer had all lie could do to keep the rest of his drove in hand, but he put in a yell and a blow every now and then by way of discouraging the inquisitive and obstinate steer on the sidewalk in his unsteerlike conduct. But the steer was satisfied with the way things were going, and held the sidewalk. It was a warm day, and that, together with the ex citement of his visit to Mount Joy, had warmed him up. The noise of tho populace had not yet disturbed any ono at the resi ddneo of F. H. Stauffer, Esq., which wasdi rectly in the path of the steer. The front door of tho Stauffer residence was open, and near the street. The interior looked nice and cool, and the steer wont right in. The coolness of the apartment suited him so well that ho held the room against all comers for upward of a quarter of an hour. In the meantime the indignant citizen relieved him self by shouting from time to time: “Ain’t there a gun in this whole blame town? Are wo to lie run down in the streets and be turned out of houses and shops by Don Cameron’s cattle? lias a steer got all the rights there are, besides taking the ones that belong to us, just lie cause ho happened to lie raised on Don Cameron’s farm? Who’s got a gun? Get me one, somebody. ” But still no one rusbod for a gun. Boys with stubbed t es and stone bruises ou their heels £<>t thicker than ever. Women with bales fu their arms came from all directions and said: “Ain’t it awful?” (Jne elderly gentleman, overcome with the excitement of the occasion, start edaip street on a dead run yelling “Fire!” “imi in wagons sbippod in the street, and dogs of ail kinds trooped to the scene and yelped and barked. The ste, r didn't scent to think that anything out of the usual run of things was going on, and roamed around in Citizen Stauffer’s cool parlor like an honored guest. At livd, having probably become suflieient ly cool, and having exhausted all tiie sights, lie walked leisurely out of the parlor and to the street door. Hi' stood there a moment, looking up and down the street, ns if dis Hiss ing ill tils mind what he would do next, and then came out on the sidewalk again. (luce more t he crowd scattered, and the indignant citizen shouted: "Now get me n gun. Now’s my chance to pop{Mr him and show people that there’s something in this country besides Don Cam eron and his shin's ‘Still, no one sped away after firearms, and t)io fleer resumed his triumphant prome nade of the sidewalk. •The village was now at his heels, but be stilrkept his temper and marched oa. Messengers liud been sent ahead to warn the people of the nonchalant and poi-sistont steer’s npproueb, mni all doors were closed against him the rest of the wr.y ulong the street. By anil by the stock yards were reached. They seemed to offer inducements and possibilities to bis lilting, and he walked in calmand leisurely, much to the joy of the tari'icr who Imd liiin in charge, but to the evident disappointment of the indignant, citizen, who, ns the gates eluted on the steer, shook his list in that di ruction and shouted: "You ought to be dragged in by a rope and tackle anil with a handful of bullets in you! I’ll buy me a gun to-morrow, ami after this we'll roe who runs this town, the leoplo or Don Cameron's steers!" A Row Over "Tho Gorman.” FYont <Ae MUh’lgfviUr Chrmiii fr.

TIIE HEIGHT OF THE SEASON AT THAT SEASHORE RESORT. Ecrry Wall a Disappointment at First Sight, But Satisfactory After a Day's Study Bellos in Their Summer Freaks. Prom the New York Pun. Long Branch, July 24. —Horseback rid ing is tho chief diversion of the season. The roadway for ten miles along the ocean front is a stciulv show of equestriani'm from early in the morning until noon, and again from the middle of the afternoon un til dark. The rage for the saddle is sudden and general: and yet it is not impromptu, for the riders are usually graceful enough to prove that they are accustomed to the sport. The fact is that rich New York girls have 1 xs-ii much on horseback sines' last fall, and they are the majority of the riders hare, ait-hough Philadelphia belies are scarcely behind in number or style. The saddle has nearly su|ior *ed,*d the village cart as a vehicle of feifli nine conveyance. The ponies, so plenty last year, ero now comparatively scarce. One which especially commanded attention was hitched to a curt, nnd the girl who drove it was an every day sort of little creature, but hek-i. her sat a big, straight and exceed ingly dignified gentleman, who was mani f-"iffy having the hardest ride of his life. The f: t pony with jiggling short legs, the small maiden whose hat barely reached his shoulders, the plaything of a cart. that shook him almost out of balance at every stop, all combined to strain his dignity pa 'n fullv Doubtless he w,i< mentally swearing nt Ids predicament. no matter how engaging the temptress might be. Mr. Berrv Wall lets just departed for Saratoga. 1 luring bis stay at tho West End lie was the one sight which disappointed every visitor. He was pointed out to each new comer. “Who did you lie say lie was?” nnd the observer gazes at an ordinary looking fel low, with no distinctive marks of tho dandy about him. “That is Berry Wall, the king of the dudes. You've read about him, haven’t your” “Oh, yes; hut there’s nothing in particu lar itliout that fellow to exploit.” Isn't there? Wait nnd sec. it is true that Berry Wall hardly ever wears an extrava gantly peculiar suit. Especially this sum mer is he no more flamboyant than the av erage of young fellows nt Long Branch. Wnite flannel suits arc common there, and shirk-: are of so many bright colors that a chance row of them would make a good rainbow. It is in tho number of his toilets and their scrupulous care t hat I’errv Wall earns his reputation. Ho despises the typi cal dandy; and as he sat, yesterday, on the veranda and saw a carriage load go past, lie rcmarkisl. with emphatic sarcasm: “Throe to one, and no wonder she can’t choose.” Three miserable, inane dudes sat on the front seat facing a single pretty, dainty, de mure girl, who h'ul taken them out for u drive in her father’s carriage. Berry is not, eyegiassed, he doesn't carry a knobby stick, and his collars arc not exaggerated. But ho does change his clothes every two or three horn's. One morning he ate his breakfast in a sack coat and trousers of green, black and white checks, a shirt of pink, and a straight brimmed straw hat. About the middle of the forenoon he came out in white flannel, with white canvas , shoes and a white cap. Just after noon lie bathed in a gray tight suit. Next, he dressed for the races in a long frock coat and trousers of light brown, a high hat to exactly match in color, and even the leather strap from w’hich his field glasses bung acror; Ifi- shoulders was of precisely the same hue. On his return he went t-o dinner in a costume of blue stripes, with a coral shirt. Those shirts are his pride. lie lias dozens of them without a repetition. The collars and cuffs worn with them, however, are invariably white. Ho wound up the night in a black frock coat, pearl trousers, black silk hat and white vest. Thore is no place on earth euual to a sum mer hotel veranda for story telling. There is plenty of lazy time for it, to begin with, and yet the drowsiness does not induce si lence. A group chatted about precious stones. It was agreed that an opal will change color, probably on account of at mospherical influences, and then McKee Rankin said: “One of the Western men whose career lias been one of close nnd fre quent calls is Jure Dram. He wore two largo and splendid opals set with diamonds -as sleeve buttons. One night, in company with several sitting nt a table, (here was an audible click, and ono of those stones burst into shilling fragments before tho eyes of many witnesses. “ ‘ There’s big trouble coining to me,’ said 1 Muni. ‘There’s a dreadful rock just ahead, you mark my words.’ "Sure enough, in a scrimmage forced upon him within a week, Dunn killed Jimmy Elliott, and was indicted for mur der. 'When the opal burst, ho put the odd si,we link in his pocket and Wore some other jewelry. One day ho lost the male less stone that had been a sort of poeke. piece to play with. Time passed. Dunn went to trial, and everything was against him. The end was drawing near: lie felt it was uncertain where lie would be in a day or so, nnd bo request"d leave to go to his rooms for tho purpose of getting letters and pictures he would (nisi, no friend to destroy. Hnder care ful guard the privilege was allowed him. Tolling tho Sheriffs who accompanied him that he want,si to get some clothes—and to give color to the statement In, made a change of costume—lie secured flic compro mising documents and went cheerfully hack to the lockup. Next day the most dam aging evidence was taken. At no time had the clouds hung so heavy • >ver his head. He plunged his hands into h.s trousers pocket in a gloomy way, but almost immediately drew them out ami threw them up w ith aii exclamation of delight. Pat Shoedy, tie s{K>rt,ing man, worked his way over to his friend, and the defendant law yer hurried to his side to learn tho cause of his sudden change of manner. "'Why, Pm same as a baby in a crib,’ said Dunn; ‘here's my lick,'and hr brought out the o|wil which lie had supixiscd was lost. “His friends were not so certain, but, to the astonishment of all, and in the face of dangerous evidruce, a verdict of acquittal linislu-d tin- trial, and Dunn went o:i a tri umphal tour of t}to country. That opal is not coil finis I in a setting that might cramp its jiewer of swelling, but it rests and rat tles in a safe cage and is worn by Ditnuosa breastpin, and looked on with awe 1 y he Havers in tho mysterious luck of stones." The season is at its height. The one an nual I Kill which n-srinblcs the wealth mid fa. liiou of Long Branch is to occur next Thursday night, at the West End. The ho tels generally are prosperous, and several are overcrowded for Sunday. The races have never licfore hern se much in favor with visitor.:. Lift here ranges from tl csc - eludisl quiet of such villas as the Grant', w here tile widow of Dell. Grant is spending tile season, to the fever of the gorgeous gambling house., which are wide open with the seeming approbation of the authorities. All sorts and conditions of morals are to be found here. Anyone of the big hotels holds a varied assortment of good nnd bad people. Pleasure Bay is the distinctly fast {kirtion of Long Brain'll. Roadside inti* mv there rather unconventional; tho yniehi lg and rowhnnting provide languid diversion iw day light and moonlight, aiicl here and the re can tie found villas in which tile clink of tho gamblers’ ivories are heard. Hereabouts is the Black Flag cottage of Ned Thorne, the actor, sublet to a party who provide amu-emetit for those who fight the tiger John ('hamls'rUn ha* something to do with the sport,and Tom Ochiltree is to lie found in I hat same jungle, where the tiger is said to Is- {Kirticularly licive and i-uvi-nui.. ft I* t the rnis-s, however, that the pleas ure , >’-er leave* most of l i cnme, to the 1 professional doctors of chances.
