She ia known M the "Cattle Queen." On Sunday she was robbed of $l,f>00 by her own men, and her resentment was aroused against the gamblers. Their room at Bessemer was crowded Monday night when Kale strode in, accompanied only by her foreman, and both armed to the teeth. While Kate covered the dealer with a six shooter, Mason, her foreman, secured the hoi, and showed the orowd that the game was an unfair or "brace" one. This enraged the cowboys, and Farley and Modell were terribly beateu and ordered to prepare for lynching. The ropes were iu sight, when "Cattle K»te" interceded for the two | wretches, and announced that alio would divide their money, amounting to several thousand dollars which she bad sreurtd.

Erie, February 20.—A frightful and diabolical scheme to burn tbe Ellsworth Howe last night waa oiroumyeuted jast in the nick of time. The bnilding,whioh waa ahotsl nil a few yean ago,baa bean looked upon for some time aa a lire trap. The cheapness of the quarter* attracted a hundred or more roomers of both sexes, and when they were eonnd asleep laat night the fire bag fiend waa engaged in bnilding a kerosene oil fire in a storeroom in the heart of the boose. A wakeful wile who was watoking for her hnaband'a re tarn emelled the fnmes of the oil and the awful deed waa defeated. This mot waa the counterpart of the one perpetrated at an early hoar yesterday morning in the business block ewned by George Schlandeker. The first floor is oc onpied by merchants, and the upper floors for offices and tenement rooms. The fiend, after poaring oil through the balls, and building fires of oiled kindling wood against every door.was in the act of firing a pile of fagots which he had placed in the general stairway leading to the third floor, and whioh was the only ( xit for the families in that apartment, when his wicked hand was arrested by the scream of a woiuan who had heard tlio stealthy j steps, and whose hall opened window blind had caught a gleum of the light from the burglars lantern in the fire bng's band. His devilish deed was left undone and he escaped. To-night the department had auotber incendiary ca 1, and the movements of the firebugs are so bold that there is muob apprehension.

The boy remained at school until the hoar of dismissal, and was not inconvenienced bjr the string and wood until he started for home, when he was taken sick and vomited.

The mnjority are inclined to the opinion that it is cerebrospinal meningitis, if the congestive, malignant type. The patient is taken with sharp pains in the spine, which soon reach the brain, followed by violent cramps aud convulsions, and death then results. Marion, Ky., Feb. 19.—A terrible dif- iase made its appearanoe in Webster bought that it had spent its fury, as no county a few weeks ago, an account of which was published in this paper. It raged disastrously for a time, and it was uew cases were reported for ten days, but it has reappeared in more virulent f rm than before, It has broken out near Dixon, the county seat, and nine new cases have developed near Free Union. Four deaths occurred Satarday, and the other five are not expected to live. Five more new cases developed this morning. It seems as a waste of both time and money to summon medical assistance, as death is sure to follow in every case. The excitement is greater than ever bo fore. The malady is confined to a strip of territory bordering on a small stream called Crab Orchard creek. In one family of seven only the father escaped. Up to the present only two have recovered from the disease, one of whom is totally blind, and the other is a cripple for life. To date there have been over SO deaths. At one cemetery, last Sutuiday, there were four burials. Come in and see for yourselves.

I'cfiilinr Will Nu»luinetl Chicago, February 21—In theEleetiical Association convention to d.u a reso lution by Dr. Otto A. Moses, protts'ing against the efforts to iutroduce electricity on tho form of alternating currents us a means for the intliotiou of death on condemned criminals, was adopted. The resolution pledges the members of the associa- t ion to decline to allow any elect ic current under their control to be usod for snc'i ignoble purposes. The reasons for the adoption of the res ohition was stated to be because the agitation for the eUctrical death method was almost, wholly due to the efforts of per-ons interi sted in arausing ptejndice Hg.inst pow erful elei tiic light currents by exaggerating their d ingers.

BEYER, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, Montueal, Feb. 21. —There must be danger in tho near future of Canadian citizens being called upon to defend their hearths, if not from soldiers of Undo Sam from soldiers or sailors of some other foreign invasion. The latest to give public utterances to such thoughts is the vice- gal representative of Victoria on tbis side of rhe water, Lord Stanley, Governor of Canada. At least the hints which he dropped during a speech this afternoon at the annual meeting of the Do minion Artillery Aswieiatiou at Otta.ua are generally believed hero to foreshadow at no distant day, the nececsity of the Ca'.ucians to take up arms to defend the'r homes. He thought that in these dajs every able-bodied man should bo a soldi, r of the empire, and in more than any other quarter of the empire at present, especially in this Dominion of Canada. They knew the people were nspicted as they respi'Cted themselvf s, and that they should act accordingly. The sky at present was clear, but there we're serious questions to set tie, and no one knew what moment the cessity of defense would arrive. He prayed to G >d that, the time would be long in coming, lie thought the Imp rial Government would furnish any quality of arms and ammunition, if the Canadian militia hinted that they wanted th< m.
