Teustration of a Plot to Murder the Police
of Middlesboro, Ky.
A Middlesboro, Ky., despatch says : A
desperate attempt was made to assassinate
the Middlesboro police force yesterday
afternoon. About 3 o'clock a lot of dis-
reputable characters whp, frequent Gun
-$5grings, a-low-drinkin'-and gambling -dive ,
just outside the city limits, concocted the
plan to murder the officers. They . accord-.
angly stationed about fifteen of their gang
an ambush along" the Louisville and Nash-
ville road, and two of their number began
firing their Winchesters. ' These two
were Gillies Johnson and Frank Rossimins.
Chief Maples, with a posse of officers, went
in pursuit of the pair, and were led into an
ambush. Over a hundred shots were ex-
changed. Special officer Dorsey Williams
was shot through both thighs and Patrol-
man Tupper was shot in the leg. The police
force was forced to retire. A posse of 100
citizens, armed with rifles, soon captured
both desperadoes and lodged them in jail.
About 4 o'clock this 'morning a crowd of
masked men entered . Jailer Doolittle's
sleeping apartments at the city jail, and
with pistols to his head demanded the keys
to the jail. The jailer was forced, to give
up the keys. The crowd then'went into
the jail, took Rossimins out; and led him to
the big bridge ever Canal and Twentieth
street, where he was shot several times. A
rope was then fastened about his neck, and
he was swung over the side of the bridge
until 7 o'clock, when he was cut down. A
card was tacked on' the bridge rail, just
above the body, bearing this inscription :

FORTY LIVES LOST.
The Death -Dealing Cyclone Swoops Down
Upon West Superior.
A West Superior, Wis., despatch says :
In an instant this afternoon, by the' giant
play of a cyclone, half a hundred human
beings were caged in a death trap. A.num-
ber of buildings were ravaged throughout
the city, but the extraordinary climaxof the
storm--was-••enacted--in-the--hotel-.being-con.
strutted at the intersection of Lamborn and
Third streets. Over two score unfortunate
workmen were the victims. Scarcely'five
minutes elapsed from the moment when
the men, • full of energy, were progress-
ing with their tasks till the frightful
whirl was miles distant in its path of de-
struction and the remains of the begrimed'
and. mangled men in the ill-starred hostelry
were being brought out • of the debris. It
was with the utmost difficulty that the un-
dertaking of getting at the real extent of
the disaster was prosecuted: Two corpses
dragged from the rains formed the basis of
about the first genuine information, and
dispelled the faint hope that no life had
been sacrificed outright. The rescuers were
hindered and the misery of the wounded
doubly intensified by water -soaked garments,
the result of the downpour of rain that ac-
companied the atmospheric eddy. While
the dead and wounded were being con-
veyed from the hotel, vague reports began
coming in -of the wreck wrought in other
localities. The indications were that the
damage in the country district would be,
almost unprecedented in this section.

NEW MEXICO'S VISITATION.
The Dreaded Grasshoppers Overrunning the
North' and West.
A San Antonio despatch says' : S. P.
Lawson, a prominent stockman of Deming,
N. M., has arrived here, and gives an
account of the grasshopper ravages in the
northern and western counties of New
Mexico, where he says the hoppers are doing
incalculable harm. Some farthers consider
them the seventeen year locusts, which
ravaged the west during the seventies. The
locusts are moving east and north in two
principal swarm$. They have stripped veg-
etation and the leaves of the trees and left
nothing but, the' dry alkali earth where they
have struck the ground. Where the land is
cultivated they have ravaged the groimd 'of
everything in sight. They move in bunches
four and five miles wide. One bunch has
devastated Colfax and Moira in the north-
ern part of the territory and is spreading
into Colorado, Kansas and the Pan. Handle
of Texas, while another bunch will reach
the Central Texas line by. winter. • They do,
not make much progress after flying, but the
eggs they lay hatch, sand a new batch flies
eastward. They will keep moving in this
way andlay billions of eggs in Texas and
,Kansas for next season's hatching.

Jealous/ Baird's _Brutality Spoils Mrs.
Langtry's Beauty.
A London cable says : Several'stories are
afloat with regard. to Abingdon Baird's
assault on Mrs. Langtry, about which there
has been a good deal of gossip. The follow-
ing story was told by some one who saw
Mrs. Langtry just after the assault had been
committed, with the blood streaming from
her face : Some if time ' M Baird bought
ago r. erroug
York House, Regent's Park, for Mrs. Lang-
try, and also paid off •her debts in con-
nection with the Princess Theatre, of which
he is at present leaseholder. On a recent
occasion Baird returned home unexpectedly.
and found a young gentleman dining with Mrs.
Langtry. Without more ado he proceeded
to turn him out, and then he went for " the
Lily " and knocked her down. Then he
kicked her in the face in such a way that it
is said she is now disfigured for life. Mrs.
Langtry had to .be carried to bed and at
tended by a surgeon, who declares it is
• probable she will never be able to act again.
Mrs. Langtry'began an action for assault
against Baird, but when he sobered' up he
repented of what he had done and went to
the house. Then to prevent this action he
paid her the sum ' of £25,000 in Bank of
England notes.

The following bills were read a third
time ;
To amend an Act to incorporate the
Montreal Bridge Co. •
Respecting the Saskatchewan Railway
and Mining Co.
To incorporate the Chatsworth, Georgian
Bay, and Lake Huron Railway Co.
Mr. McMullen said that the- Government
in pretending before the last election to be
anxious to secure reciprocity on the lines of
the treaty of 1854 had been guilty of prac-
tising a gross fraud upon the people of
Canada. The supporters of the Govern-
ment were now arguing that reciprocity in
natural products would be injurious to the
interests of the farmers. •
Mr. McMullen said the iron duties bore
heavily upon the farmer. The member for
Haldimand did not use iron exceptwhat was

Mr. 'Montague -And in the tinctures too.

Mr. McMullen said the investigation now
taking place showed how loosely the affairs
of the c"ti'liri'trj'had been administered, and
how highly desirable it was that there should
be a change.
Mr. Ives moved the adjournment of the
debate.
Mr. Girouarcl presented the report of the
Privileges' and Elections Committee, asking
for a reduction of a quorum, froth 21 to 11,
in order that"the committee may meet while
the House is in session. The report was
adopted.
Si(' John Thompson, in introducing a Bill
to amend the Electoral Franchise Act, said
it and the two other Bills he proposed to
move contained many of the recommenda-
tions of the committee, to which wore sub-
mitted a number of Bills on the subject in
the earlypart of the session. The present
Bill proposed to enact that a voter ,must be
a • British subject at the tirne of being put
upon the list, leaving out the words "by
birth or naturalization." I.t was proposed
also to extend the time for the preliminary
revision by adding fifteen days, making the
date of concluding it August 15th. Under
the Bill no person's name could be removed
from the list by reason of qualification being
incorrectly stated. Another section pro-
vided ,that the, revising officer as further
security shall state the number of names on
the list. The part of the Act relating to
the declaration of British subjects would
not come into force till January 1st next,
as the forms were now outand an imme-
diate change` would cause great incon-
venience. '
Sir John Thompson, in introducing a hill
to amend the Dominion Election Act, said
it proposed that deposits should be made in'
legal tender or in the bills of any chartered
hark doing business in Canada. It was
proposed to restrict the transfer of voters
by way of agents to two in each polling
booth. Provision was made in the case of
the Joss of b. ballot box for the taking of
evidence by the returning officer, and the
necessary machinery was provided for get-
ting an order from a Superior Court judge

MR. A. B. SIMPSON'S N'S CAMP.
[New York World.]
Parson A. B. Simpson's Faith Curist camp- '
-meeting-up-at-Round-Lake
is attractingwidespread attention. e'
Rev. Mr. Simpson himself is the central
figure, and the marvellous ability which he
is exhibiting as a money rigir is rapidly
giving him a world-wide reputattion. Ap-
parently all that he needs to do when be -
feels the need of funds to carry on his• Chris-
tian Alliance is to make his wants known to

belongings and cast them at his feet.
Such' is the religious fervor of the camp-
meeting people that one day this week•
when the preacher called for $500 to send
just one more missionary to carry the.
Gospel to the benighted heathen, Col. Burk-
hart, of Kentucky, jumped up and pulling •
his coati •' gold watch and chain out of hie
" That's the way to give," cried the Rev.
Mr. Simpson. " Give of your pride ; give
the jeopardizing adornments of your perish-
ing bodies:" This appeal so stirred his
hearers that the women present began to
shower their rings and jewels upon the
altar.
Miss Louise Shepard, ()this city, 'was ono
of the first to strip off her diamond rings
and bracelets and lay hem before the
preacher. In a few moments $1,500 worth
'of jewelry was piled up on the pulpit desk, ,
and the .big congregation broke out with
" Praise God, From Whom All Blessings
Flow." Miss Shepard was one of the lead-
ing
ding belles of Saratoga.a year ago, but nbw
she has become converted to the Faith-
Curists' creed and is one of the most en-
thusiastic followers of the. sect.
Everybody seems to bo carried away by
the craze, but those who saw the offerings of
money and jewels the other day saw that
the • peculiarity of the occasion, . was that
there was no manifestation of undue excite-
ment among the congregation.
Those who contributed to the treasury o• f.
the Alliance simply walked up to the table
in front of the desk and quietly laid their
gifts upon if. At one time there was quite
a crowd about the pulp but there was
o.disorder".o.L disturbs bout .it. After-
wards Miss Sheparc and Col. Burkhart
took the platform and addressed the meet-
ing. It is said that Col. Burkhart has
already given $10,000 in cash to help along
the work of the Christian . Alliance, and•--
that many others have given money in
sums from $100 to $1,000. Such contribu-

headquarters for the Christian Alliance in'

have contributed largely to the funds of the
alliance, though it i`s said that they do not
possess great means, and have personally
interested themselves in, the work under the
Rev. Mr. Simpson, the Rev. A. E. Frink
and others, who are at the head of the
order. Miss Shepard is 22 years old, of
medium height, graceful frgure, with dark
ha r and eyes. Since she became a member
o Mr. Simpson's' Gospel Tabernacleanch\
professed religion some .six months ago, she
has been untiring in her zeal and earnestness•
for the cause of faith cure.
Some of- the Members of the church
believe that Miss Shepard is an heiress and
possesses vast wealth, all of which she is
going to devote to the cause of the Alliance.
It was only a few weeks ago that Joseph
Batten; a. wealthy and aged resident of
Elizabeth, N. J., gave a large amount of
real estate in New York city to , Mr. Simp-
son's Alliance. The property deeded was
worth $50,000, and 'this, in addition to pre-
vious gifts by Mr. Battin to the same cause,
make a total of something like $150,000. .
A's Mr. Battin is a decidedly eccentric old
gentleman, it was believed by many that
undue influence had, been used to secure
these gifts, . especially when his children
were represented as very much displeased
with this sort of wholesale generosity.
Both the Rev. Mr. Simpson'and the Rev.
Mr. Frink, however, denied that any influ-
ence whatever. had been employed, and
declared that they had no knowledge of
Mr. Battin's intentions until they 'received
the gifts. It is said that Mr. Battin is'now
at Round Lake with the other worshippers
at the shrine of Faith Cure and the Rev. A.
B. Simpson. In addition to giving their
money and jewels to spread • Gospel among
the heathen, -several of the Round Lake
enthusiasts have pledged their children to
the service of the cause.
The Rev. N. H. Walker, bf Bridgeport,

BUNCO STEERERS IN PARIS.

A Paris cable .says : A . couple of bunco
steerers found their way over here last week.,
Two Americans suffered severely a their
hands. The first was Charles Dresbach.
The American lawyer met a fellow -citizen
oro the Boulevard.-, The steerer asked for a
light. The pair got intoe conversafiion,
walked down Avenue de l'Opera together to
the Hotel du Louvre, where they had a
drink. There they were joined by another
American; with a pronounced Irish accent,
who introduced himself. At 3 o'clock they
returned to the Boulevard, ordered dinner
in a private room in the Maison d'Ore, the
well-known iesfaiiisnt. Whetrthe-chum=

American ' stated he had- just in-

colossal fortune, amounting to from thirty
to forty million dollars, a only needed
money sufficient to enable him to cross the
Atlantic. Mr. Dresbach promptly took out
his purse and offered to pay his passage.
The warm-hearted Irishman refused the
offer, but' was so touched by 3Lr. Dresbach's
generosity that he threw his arms around,
his dear friend's neck and embraced him
heartily: When he left a few minutes later
Mr. Dresbach was minus his po.±et-book,
which contained a $500. bill, two 20 bilis
and twenty-five sovereign&. The same
evening an American resent here, Mr.
Charles Bnrnside, after leaving his friends
at a restaurant noticed a gang of four men
following him. When he reached the Rue
de Provence one of them jumped on his back
and another kicked him violently on the
shins. 3Lr. Burnside is a burly man, full of
courage, and he resisted to the utmost ; but
he was finally knocked senseless by the
united blows of his antagonists, who robbed
him of 1,00f. and left him covered with
wounds from their cowardly attack.

bridge across Cork's Run, six miles below
this city, was washed away by a sudden
flood yesterday and three workmen were
drowned. The body of one was recovered
and identified as that of Thomas Coleman.
The other two were foreigners, andtheir

the same time an immense landslide came
down the hill below Dequesne heights and

A RASH OFFICER
Slays a Man Whom the Czar Has Acciden-
tally Wounded.
A St. Petersburg despatch says : The
latest rumor regarding attempts upon the
life of . the Czar, which rumor .caused a
momentary terror in St. 'Petersburg, was
that an officer had tried to murder the Czar
with an axe. The report arose from the
fact that the Czar was amusing himself in a
forest chopping a tree, when the head of the
axe flew ofl�and struck an attendant in the
face, wounding him. The Czar went to the
assistance of the wounded man and got some
blood on his hands and. clothes. An officer
of the guard approached them and thought
