The other men of the gang got through safely, bnt as they approached the brush they were met by a volley from the outside cordon, a line of men stationed 10 or 12 feet apart all around the town. This vcllev wounded Cate Tolliver, a 12-year-old boy, and three others, all of whom were captured except Cate Tolliver, who crawled into the brush and escaped. The other three also escaped, but one was captured afterward. This brought the battle to an end. be nor hit mi would be arrested, and that 100 bmb eould not take them. His party then opened lira upon the Sheriffs posse. Quite a brlak rattle of musketry ensued, and th« fighting waa kept up probably for two boon. The only casualty for a time waa a flesh wound received by one of tbe Sheriff's poaae. Tbe attacking party, however, were gradually drawing their Hnee cloaer around Tolliver's fortification, and the beaieged party, finding things grow ing too warn, finally concluded to make a bold rush for liberty, cut their way through the Sheriff's linea and take to the adjacent brush, which, once reached, wonld afford them a secure escape. But as they made the rush they were met by a tremendous volley which killed Craig Tolliver, Bad Tolliver, Jay Tolliver and Hiram Cooper. They were all shot through the heart, and died instantly.

Pa. In order to make room for our mammoth stock of Fall and Winter Goods it will be absolutely necessary for us to sell our entire stock of SPRING and SUMMER CLOTHING regardless of every inch of room in our store. Now these are not fish stories, but are facts. We are bound to meet with the wants of our trade. In order to do this we have marked down our entire stock 30 per cent, cheaper than we ever sold before. of cost.

Dnggu, one of the wealthieet and but known pbyaieiana of Wllllamlbnrg (North Brooklyn), vu deliberately (hot and killed at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon by George TTeidler, of WillianMbnrc, aa be (the doctor) waa leaving a patieot'a honae in WHIianuburg. The mnrderer sauntered up to the honae while the doctor waa inaide and aaked the doctor's coachman how soon hie matter would come out. The coachman told him be would 1m oat in five minutes, and advised him to wait. Weidler did so, and chatted with the coachman until Dr. Duggan came oat. As he stepped npon t betide walk Weidler walked np to him and the two men conversed in low tones for a moment. The murderer then cooly drew a revolver, and. taking aim at the doctor's bead, flred. The doctor threw up his bands and started to run, but Weidler fired two more shots and he fell dead in the street. Weidler made no attempt to escape and quietly submitted to arreit at the hands of a police sergeant who happened to be passing. He was taken to the police station, and, on being searched, was found to have $130 in bills and a large nnmber of Havana and Louisiana lottery tickets on his person. A stub book with the record of numerous tioket sales was also found in bis pockets, and despite his claim that he is a paper box maker, it appears that he is a lottery agent. He ii 25 years old and married. He seems perfectly rational and calm and will make no statement of his reasons for the murder other than "the affair is simply a family matter ; it will be explained in dne time.' The mnrdered physician is reported to have been worth $300,000 or more, and had a large practice. He leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter, the latter being the wife of a Chicago insurance agent named Maletti. A number of people witnessed the shooting, but no one can advance any theory regarding its cause. It was evi - dently a premeditated mnrder. And this fact, coupled with Weidler's peculiar actions and remarks has given rise to the mention of the prisoner's sister's name i a connection with the affair. $10 Slits at $8; $12 Suits at $10; $15 Slits at $13 Practicing attorney in the nttnl court* in Wa«hlnjrton and elsewhere.

Tbia it the decision of the board : "The right of these employes to pursue their vo cations without joining any particular society is as absolute as the right of the employer to belong to an association ot employer*, or the right of other workmen to joiu any labor organization they may see fit to ally themselves with. The real grienance of the employer is that certain workmen, for reasons which they deem sufficient, do not choose to work for him. The question of the sufficiency of those I reasons is not presented here, but their right to decline to work for a particular employer is no less clear than the corresponding right to hire a man who is objectionable to him. In the opinion of the Board no facts have been shown in this case that render necessary the action proposed by the employer." Boston;, June 28.—The State Board of Arbitration Friday rendered a decision in the appeal of Lyman D. Willciitt, a builder of this city and his employes. The foreman, representing the employes, testified that their grievance was that the employer had notified them that he proposed to discharge them from his employ, because they were not members of a certain society, giving as reasons therefore that he wished to employ additional help and that such additional help would not work with non-union men. The employes claimed that Mr. Willcutt had no right, to discharge them, he having no other charges to bring against them. Mr. Willcutt testified that his present employes were as gcod men as there were in this State ; that most of them had been in his employ for 10 years and had stood by him when others struck, and he did not desire to discharge them. But he was campelled to hire more men, because bis business was increasing, and he oould not get them because they would not work with bis men. He mnst either let them go or not carry on any more business thau he wai at present. SUMMER GOODS. The excited formed in front of the Court House, and marched to the law office of Uncle John Cessna, whom the spokesman of the crowd earnestly besought to roll np his trowsers, as in the days of the Garfield campaign, and lead them to the front to repel the rebel invasion. Uncle John had the utmost difficulty in convincing the fiery populace that the war had not broken out again. The editor of the Republican had not returned from the excursion of tie State Editorial Association, but 70 of beet paying subscribers stopped their papers and rode home vowing vengeance. BeiiFORD, June2S.—The Bedford Republican of Saturday contained an article on the flag episode, which was headod, "Another Rebel Defeat." The paper had been distributed pretty much all over the county on Saturday and about 10 o'clock the village loafers were surprised to see farmers riding to town by dozens, armed with rifles, shotguns, muskets, carbines, unwieldy revolvers and other weapons of war. It soon became evident from the excited conversation of the ruial visitors that the Republican't lurid headlines had produced the impressiou that the rebellion bad broken out again and that the yeomen had assembled to form a company of volunteers and to offer their services to President Cleveland.

A Snake St. Louis, Juue 28.—Annie Kiselhorst, a young domestic, employed by the Gier family, at '2G08 Gamble street, created a sensation Thursday night. She was found unconscious in the rear yard and suffering with convulsions. The police were summoned, and she said she had been attacked by a man who formerly killed her lover at Havre, 111. The lover's name was Henry Brakamp, and the pair were engaged to be married in July, A week before the time set for the ceremony Brakamp was shot from ambush and killed. The murderer watt arrested, and on tbe scaffold aaid he bad been hired by a rival for tbe girl's affections. Tbis discover}' so affected the girl that sbe left home, bat has been continually haunted by the murderer of her betrothed. The police could find no evidence that sbe was assaulted Thursday night, except through ber imagination.

Oil City, Pa., Jun^23,—In the Oil Exchange to-day Mike Keating failed for $41. Keating is but 21 years old. Early in the summer of 1882 young Keating, thou 19 years of age, was messenger iu the Western Union Telegraph office in that city. It was well known iu Oil City at the time that he speculated in a small way iu oil through another party, he not tlieu being old enough to becomea member of the Exchange. It was said that he interpreted the cipher dispatches of some of the heavy operators and speculated on the knowledge thus gained. At all events he rolled up a fortune of $00,000 that summer and he was still under 20 years of nj;e. Then he took a pleasure trip to Cleveland, Chicago and other cities, leaving most of his* fortune in the hands of a friend to speonlate fop him. The friend, operating on his own judgment, and at the same time doing what he thought best for the boy, played the bull side of the market and lost. Mike returned to Oil Citjr almost pennilea*. At the age of 21 be became a member of the Exchange, and has ever since carried on a brokerage busineaa. He says be will make up bis failure of $41 St. Louis, June 24.—A saloon keeper named Howard recently purchased two large rattlesnakes from a Western fancier for the purpose of adding to the attraction of his place. He engaged a snake charmer named Charles Deleon to train the reptiles. This evening while the professor was extracting tbe from one of the snakes, he «m bitten in tbe hand, and half au honr later was sent to the hospital in convulsions' The pbysiciaus say he QMDot live. Craig Tolliver and his 10 followers immediately retreated to the Cottage Hotel, which they bad previously barricaded in such a manner aa to make it quite a formidable fortress. Sheriff Hogg then notified Tolliver that he Lad warrant* for the arrest of all the men implicated in tie killing of the Logan hoys, and asked that they all submit peaoeably to arrest nnder the law.

The culmination waa reached in the traglo end of four desperadoes, men who forfeited their lives while resisting the mandatee ot the law. After the destruction of thonsands of dollars' worth of property, and, up to this writing, the loss of 21 lives, Rowan county can now return to peace and proeperlty. Craig Tolliver, the famous desperado, wus probably the Immediate cause of the outraged law being vindicated. In August, 1864, after a heated contest, Cook Humphreys was elected Sheriff of Bowan county by 47 majority over Sam Goodwin. During the canvas* many animosities were engendered, the Martins allying themselves with Humphrey's and the Tollivers with Goodwin's cause. Craig Tolliver, the leader of the latter faction, whose name in Kentucky has grown as notoriously familiar as was that of Jesse James in Missouri several years ago, swore after the election that Humphreys should never ride Rowan county as Sheriff. Since that date life after life has been offered up on the altar of hatred and bad blood, with increasing frequency, despite the best efforts of judiciary militia backed by the strong arm of the State Government. PREPARATIONS FOR BATTLE TO-DAY. The news from Rowan county is of the most exciting kind, as it appears to be an indisputable fact that Craig Tolliver is killed and his gang dismembered forever. The news comes by a Lexington minister and others who came through Morehead on the Chesapeake and Ohio train from Norfolk, Va., at 9:30 o'clock this morning. When this train was within a few miles of Morehead it was flagged by some citizens, and when it came to a stop they informed the conductor that a bloody battle was going on in Morehead between a Sheriff's posse and the Tolliver gang, and that it would not be safe for the train to proceed until hostilities ceased. The passengers and trainmen were all very much frightened, and at their solicitation the conductor ran the train to Martin's switch, two miles and a half east of Morehead. There they remained noti 1 nearly 12 o'clock, when tbey were notified that the fighting was over, and that the train might proceed through the town in safety. The traiu stopped for some time at Morehead, and there the passengers learned the particulars of the battle, which appear to be about as follows : Sheriff Hogg, presumably acting under instructions from the State authorities, for he recently visited Frankfort to see Governor Knott, has been for about a week quietly organizing a very large posse of determined men in the upper part of Kowan county aud in the adjoining countieB for the purpose of arresting Craig Tolliver, or all the party who were implicated in the MURDER OF THE LOGANS some two weeks ago. Craig Tolliver had received intimations of this, but they were so vague thathe supposed the party would be regulators instead of a Sheriffs posse. Tolliver and his party, consisting of about 10 men, were quite vigilant and went heavily armed to meet every eastwardbound trait at the depot to search for suspicious characters, and to see that no one got off at Morehead but those whom they desired. Sheriff Hogg equipped his large party with Winchester rifles, and the ammunition was secretly conveyed to his rendezvous while be was organizing the posse. Everything was ready for the move on the Tolliver gang several days ago, but, as it was known that neither he nor any of his men would peaceably submit to legal arrest of any kind, it was deemed best to have the plans thoroughly matured before tak ing any decisive step. It was finally determined to attempt tbe arrest of the assassins Wednesday, J one 22, in the daytime, to prevent any women, children or inoffensive citizens from being killed by accident. Accordingly at an early hour tbis morning people living on tbe line of the railroad within two or three miles of Morehead on each side of the town were notified to stop all trains and inform the conductors what was going on in Morehead so that passengers and trainmen would not be placed in danger. Sheriff Hogg's band of resolute men, numbering probably more than 200, appeared suddenly at Morehead about 5 o'clock this morning. A cordon was first established around the entire town in the brush where tbe men oonld not be seen. The Sheriff tben entered the town at the head of about 100 well-armed men.
