Doylkctown, Pa., July JO.—The latest of *11 the swindles that have been worked so succesafally on the formers of this put of Pennsylvania for the past two or three years is the "damaged bank-note game." Jacob Snyder, of Cbnroh Hill, is a oonspicuoub instance of the gullibility of a large class of citizens. Two strange men called at his farm and told him in confidence that there waa in the snb-treasury at Philadelphia f 1,200 in damaged bank notes that he could bay for $500. Snyder lacked $300 of that amount at hand, bat borrowed the neocssary balance of a neighbor. The generous strangers told the farmer hie money must be wrapped tip in half a dozen packages, and that they would go to Philadelphia, get the $1,2(0, and return with it and receive his $500 in exchange for it. The money was done np as suggested, the two (windlers doing the work In the farmer's kitchen, ahd no one bat they and the farmer being present. When the packages were completed and lay on the table, one of the men, who was looking oat of the window, suddenly exclaimed, "Great heavens, Mr. Snyder, I believe your barn is on fire!" The farmer and one of the swindlers rushed out, and the other man followed more at his leisure. The alarm proved to be a false oue, and the two returned to the house. Ths pack - ages were still on the table. The two men soon took their leave, and the next day the farmer went to the place where be was to meet them, with $1,200 in damaged money, but they failed to keep their appointment. On returning home, Snyder opened one of the packages, and found nithing in it but brown paper. The other packages were the same. Henry Swartley lost $400 by the same swindle, and a Cumberland connty farmer is reported to have contributed $4,000 to the same operators. The portrait remained in Memorial Hall ' until after Mr. Webster's death, a few years ago, when it became the property of his son, who sold it to Morris H. Alberger, from whom Charles W. Hays, its present owner, recently purchased it. Washington, Jnly 27.—A life-size painting of Abraham Llnooln hM hang on the walla of the Senate Committee room Naval Affair* for some months. It represent* the martyred President attired in a black anit of swallow-tail style, and resting upon a table with a copy of the constitution of the United States in his hand. Some of Lincoln's personal friends say that it is the best portrait of him ever painted. Senator Vorhees to-day offered a bill, providing that the pioture be purchased by the Government for the snm of $15,000, to be hnng in some publio place in the Capitol building. getting any The artist who painted the portrait «ai O. W. F. Trav in. He was 22 years ago con - sidered by hia acquaintances to be a very eccentric penob, and not much of an artist. He was in Washington in 1805, and conceived the idea of painting a bortrait of the President, bat was unsuccessful in it or the proper introduction. Finally he met Mr. Ltnooln on the street, one day, and in despair addressed him and introduced himself. An acquaintanceship sprang up and the artist secured several interviews and sittings at the White House. He afterward went to Europe, painted the pioture, and sold it to Mr. Webster, then the Uuited States Consul at Frankfort. It remained in the* Consul's house till 1670, when it was taken to the Centennial at Philadelphia, where it attracted much attention. While visiting the exposition, Mrs. Lincoln saw the painting for the first, time, and was so overcome l>y the striking likeness that she fainted away. Liberal, Kax., July 27.—Information reached here to-day of a terrible encounter between Hugoton and Ifoodadale man In Stevens cuunty, whereby no less than seven men lost their Uvea. James Gerrard, Deputy Sheriff of Stevena oounty, gives the following account of the affair: A warrant had been issued to Ed Short, Constable and City Marshal of Woodsdale, for the arrest of Sam Robison. Robison had gone to the neutral strip, and Ed Short, William Ilauslay and Dick Wilson went after him. They found him in a dugout and ordered him to surrender. He said he would never surrender to Ed Short. Ed told him he could get as many men aa he wished from the strip to go with him to the state (Kansas). Robison did not surrender but on his horse and made a run of six or seven miles to the Beaver river where he got a fresh horse and soon distanced tlie boys, who then gave up the ohase Sheriff Cross, hearing that Short and hi* posse had been corraled down in the Strip started with four men for their relief, but they could not find them, <n started back np the trail and went into camp. While they were asleep a Hugotou party surprised and disarmed them, made them stand up in a line aud snot them, killing four and wonnding one. The deputy sheriff did not give any names besides these mentioned abjve, l>.« G. S. Toby said the four killed were Sheriff John Cross, Robert Hubbard, C. W. En to a and K. Wilcox, aud that Herbert Toby was wounded. He also said that there might be one or two more killed and that he heard Herbert lieed was wounded but conld not say how he got hart. There miiBthave been shooting besides the above affair, for a boy named Xathat J ones, who waaon his return from Stevens county to Liberal, states that he pasted near two •quads who were firing at each other. reliable, but there is no doubt that Stevens county people are in a terrible state The latest report that came in is that 11 men have been killed. Si far reports are very contradictory and many of them un- of excitement and that more shooting may be expected.

Y., July 29.—A cn<i that has baffled the skill of the best ph\ sicians in Western New York for the past tt vee years has just reached its climax, and it large Bized surprise to the physicians. Four years ago this summer Nina, the 2 yearold daughter of Dr. G. S. Lewis, of this city, while playing with other children swallowed a piece of dirt. The other children thought it contained a small angle-warm, bnt the childs parents thought not, and paid no attention to the matter and soon forgot it. Nearly a year later the child began to complain of iis stomach feeling badly, and said that something was alive and crawling about therein. ihe grew worse and became so nervous that it pecame impossible for her to keep quiet more than a moment at a time. The and in her struggles threw forth the little angle-worm which had reposed in her stomaoh for fonr years. The worm had grown to an enormous size, it measuring nearly ten incnes long and being as large around as one's finger. The child is rapidly recovering. little girl, now six years of age, was taken with a violent fit of vomiting Wednesday Washington, July -20—Mr. David E. Day, Chief of tho Division of Mining statistics, has submitted a summary of the mineral products of the United S "rites in 1887 in advance of the report. The total value is $5:18,057,345. It shows a wonderful gain over 1880, and is ftOO, 000,000 greater than the ontput of 18&j. The United States leads tho world in the production of minerals. The principal gains in 1387 were in the prodnction of metalic ores and the fuels necessary smelting them. The production of pig iron alone increased more than (1(1,000,000, The high price of copper caused notable expansion in that industry. The product of coal is the largest ever recorded. Taken as a whole, the report shows great prosperity for the tniuing industry The grand total value of more than half a billion dollars, the report says, resulted not only from an increase in the quantity of minerals mined, but also from a geueral advance in the prioes of metals. It may be several years before this total is excee- ded, and the year 15*88 will fan considerably below it. Among many reason sfor the decrease this year is the decline in railroad building. As long as he remained in the pen, however, not a crow would show itself, and after waiting several hours he grew meditative and left the pen. No sooner had he got outside the lot than down oame a big tlock of the black robbers. Mr. Browu took another trip to the pen, this time accompanied by a hired man. After remaining a short time the latter returned to the house. As soon as he was fairly oat of sight down came the crows and bang went Mr. Brown's gun. killing ten of the birds. This gave Mr. Brown unalloyed pleasure, and as he started out of the pen to piok np the dead crows and hang them up as a warning to the others, he shonted after the rest, of the flock: "Ah, dnrn ye! Ye arecnnuiu' critters, but ye can't count wnth a oent!" Woodsbury, Conn., July 21).—Connecticut farmers this year have been driven to their wits' end to circumvent the crowB. A farmer of this town, AmoB Brown, had a particularly fine piece of corn land, and was harassed as fast as he could plant them. He built a pen of rails in the middle of the lot and concealed himself within with an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun, determined to kill all he conld and frighten the rest. $ 1 50 2 00 2 50 3 00 4 00 5 00 6 00 7 00 The jaRtioe promised to do what he ooald lor him if he woald first fiad the woman. New Yohk, July 26.—Johann Shoenberg to-day visited Justice Engel and said: "You see I came to this country two years ago from Berlin. Katnna Heider was my sweetheart. ■ She remained at home, and sll the money I could spare I sent to her. Well, the last amount I sent waa $100. That waa to buy things for her and pay her passage to this oonntry. The other day I went to Castle Garden to meet her, As ahe oame along I clasped her in my arma. 'Don't! Yon must not do that Johann,' ahe said, 'my husband woh't like it.' I looked about and there at her side waa a big fellow with two children in hia arma. Katrine had been married to him two yean ago, just after I left home. But the money I sent her she kept. I aat me down and oovered my face with my hands. When I looked op again they were gone.
