"That s easy enough," retorted the
imprudent Lohier, carried away by self
love. "If after two days I do not bring

I Oh, what a surprise! The little dwell

feet at once. Thg hares began to run,
(the partridges and the other birds to fly
in every-direotion and in such confusion
mat the witnesses of the scene knew
not what had become of them. At last
the game had all -disappeared, and the
voice of crystal, which Lohier had al
ready heard, prononnoed these words:
"Friend Lohier, remember that by
the gray rock you asked me only for six
hares and 12 partridges. You have
killed without mercy all" these poor
guests of my moorland. I give them
baok their life and leave you a counsel
you must not abuse your opportuni
ties. " A light rosy .cloud,- followed by
a bright flame, showed the departure of
the fairy. ; . ,
It was now the turn of William and
hia companions'to laugh long and loud.
But finally, seeing j the pitiful air of
poor Lohier, 'William came forward
with outstretched hand.
"Cousin," he said, "we give you
back your word. . Our bet was only a
joke. None of us would take his proper
ty away from a brave fellow like you.
But let me add a counsel to the one you
have already received: You must never
promise , to do what is above your
strength." , ; . . -
"Thanks, William, to yourself and
to all of you, my friends," answered
Lohier. "I have been an imprudent and
a vain man. I shall probably be all my.
life long the clumsiest hunter of the
country. But I now know a way of get

pleased with your luck as if it were my

Strange to say, from the day when
Lohier showed himself so generous and
simple in acknowledging where he was
wrong, he had good luck in hunting.
He seldom went through the moorland
in the company of his friends without
bringing back a well filled gamebag.

How They Shoot the Nile Rapida.
Arab boys are expert Swimmers, and.
like boys in general; are fond of display
ing their skill before strangers if only
they are rewarded by some small coin.
Mr. Eden tells how they shoot the rapids
of the Nile.
Seating themselves astride of a log of
wood about six feet long and buoyant
enough to Bupport them waist high out
of the water, they ride it with the seat
and gestures of a jockey, and with both
hands and feet keep it straight with the
line of the current I
The fall is shot with an ease and
grace that does away with the sense of
danger one would expect to feel at see
ing a man hurried along amid such
boil and turmoil of waters, but once at
the bottom they have a hard struggle
to induce their horses to turn out of the
course. . ,
To do this they avail themselves of
the impetusf acquired by the log in its
shoot and' throwing . themselves full
length upon it they seem, with a sudden
stroke from the left leg and arm, to
drive it and themselves out of the cur
rent ' r . ; . . i ;
To fail in this would be dangerous
even to Arab swimmers. 1 Immediately

GREAT SENSATION,
BLOODY 8HOQTINQ AFFA1K AT LOUIS
VILLE, KENTUCKY.
A Wronged Hoabuid Ellis Hia Wife and
Her Fsrsmoar The Iduter a Son and
Private Secretary of do v. Brown.
By Telegraph to the Maraiox Star.
Louisville, Ky April 80. A bloody
shooting affair took place this afternoon.
when Arch Brown, the son and private
stcic'a-y oICjOv. Brown, was shot and
killed by Fulton Gordon, Brown and
Gordon's wife had been intimate, and
Gordon suspected the wrong doing of
the pair. Brown and Mrs. .Gordon en
tered a house and Gordon, who followed.
found them i in bed. Gordon began
shooting and Brown returned the fire."
Mrsuordon was shot during the melee
and killed by her husband. The guilty
couple were completely taken by
surprise, but Brown hacLprepared him
self for such a visit. Gordon-was not
injured, although. he was covered with
blood and was thought to have been
shot He . is. however, in convulsions.
Mrs. Gordon was a Miss Nellie Bush, of
this city and belongs to one of the most
prminent families in the. State. She
eloped with Gordon about ten years ago.
Young Brown was recently divorced
from his wife. When the divorce was
published, although no woman's name
was mentioned, it is understood that the
-reason lor the divorce lay in Brown's in
timacy with Mrs. Gordon. On account
of the high connections the murder has
caused a great sensation.
Another account says that Brown and
Gordon's wife were in the house at 1025.'
Madison street, and Gordon followed
them there and caught them together.
He at once attacked Brown and shot
him fatally. Brown returned the fire'
and injured Gordon! Gordon then turn
ed his weapon on his wife and shot a
bullet through her stomach, killing her
instantly. : j . -
When the police arrived on tbe scefie
shortly after the shooting tbe woman
was lying dead on the cellar door in the
back yard of the place, and Brown was
in one of the upstairs rooms.
A great crowd gathered around the
building and the excitement was intense
as all sorts of rumors were afloat as to
the killing
At the time of his marriage Gordon
was a clerk at the Gait house. Shortly
ftetward Gordon and hiswife moved to
Frankfort, where he became proprietor
of the Kenyon house. This he contin
ued to run until the World's Fair, when
he sold out his establishment and moved
to Chicago. Gordon was watching bis
wife and Brown and saw them enter the
house.. He waited a few minutes and
then rushed in, finding tbe guilty couple
in bed. He opened fire immediately
and Brown returned it. Nine shots
were exchanged Brown firing four shots.
Gordon, just as soon as Browd fell, shot
his wife, i . I -
; j ANOTHER ACCOUNT. v
Archie Brown, the Governor's son
and secretary, paid with his life for a
liason with another man's, wife. The
latter shared the fate of. her paramour,
the wronged husband shooting them to
death in the room in which he had sur
prised them in their guilt.
rulton Gordon js tbe name oi the
man who so terribly ayenged his domes
tic dishonor. I :
The tragedy is one of the most sensa
tional in the history of the State on ac
count of the prominence of the persons
involved and the! circumstances sur
rounding the case. It occurred at 12.35
o'clock in an evil resort kept by a colored
woman at 1025 West Madison, street.
Brown was killed in the room, and Mrs.
Gordon was shot as she was fleeing, from
tne piace.
At noon Brown, with Gordon's wife
knocked at the front door of the house.
They were admitted and immediately re
paired to the upstairs front room, which
bad been previously engaged. Thirty
minutes later a tall, dark-hairett man
knocked at the door of tbe house" and
was admitted. He engaged the front
lewsr room, saying that a woman would
jam him there shortly.? The man closed
all the doors and a few minutes later a
commotion was heard: above,' followed
by a succession of pistol shots. Then
there was a hurried movement down
stairs as Mrs. Gordon fled from the
scene. 'A few more shots rang out and
she fcitdesdon the porch in the rear
-yard.' Gcrcon left the house immedi
ately. ; A lew moments later Brown s
corpse 4nt found in the up-stairs room.
The" following telegram was taken
from his pocket:
'Loutsvtlle, Ky April as, Archie D.
Brown, Governor's private secretary,
Frankfort, Ky. Don't write any more.
Come Tuesday. Meet me at S. 10 a. m.
p.m.- . . :
It was pursuant to this telegram that
Brown met Mrs. Gordon this moraine.
It was a brief but sanguinary battle that
was fought in the front room of the
second floor of Lucie Smith's-house.
As soon as Gordon gained admittance a
duel to the death evidently began.
Browa had a 88 calibre revolver, which
was lonnd empty alter tne tragedy.
Six bullets pierced Brown's body, and
three that of Mrs. Gordon. -
Tbe bed on which Brown and Mrs.
Gordon lay was cevered with ' blood.
showing that one Or both had been shot
while there, or in ; the struggle one or
more of the wounded had fallen on the
bed. . 1 -
"Just what part, if any. Mrs. Gordon
took in the fatal encounter, only her
husband is alive to say. The walls of
the room are smered wuh blood and
filled with ballet holes.
The slaver of his wite and her para-
movr was arrested by Officers Kelly and
Lapaille while getting into his buggy.
He exclaimed: "I shot both of them. I
caught them in tbe act. They are both
dead. Come.wrth me .and IHshpw you
where they are."
Gordon said to umcef Lapauie on the
way to lail that he bad suspected tbe
couple for some time and about a week
ago he found that bis suspicions were
correct. He went to the house this
morning and found them in the. same
bed. He drew his pistol and nred five
shots at Brown, by which time the 'Gov
ernor's son had his own pistol m play.
Brown fired two shots at Gordon. Then
the latter grappled with him and. took
his pistol away from him and snot at mm
with his own weapon. After shooting at
Brown he shot at his wile as she was go
ing down the steps, striking her just as
she reached the bottom. She fell dead
ontside the door. Brown.s body lay on
the floor of the room in which he was
killed until !2 o clock when it was re
moved byJU.ndertaker King. The body
presented a horrible appearance, - being
covered with blood from head to foot.
There was no clothing on the body ex
cept a pair of drawers and a pair of socks.
mere were tnree gunsnot wounds in tne
breast, one of them being over the region
of the heart, two wounds in the Bead,
one being in tbe centre oi -the forehead.
There was another in the centre of the
Stomach antoher in the right arm.
Mrs. Gordon was lying on a cellar door
in the yard, face downward. : She was
clothed only in n chemise and was in
stocking feet. ; Her hair was loose and
was banging in a tangled mass.
Mattie Mattingly, the colored woman,
says that Brown and Mrs, Gordon had
been accustomed to visit the house on
Sunday of each week for some time. .
Mrs. Gordon was Miss Nellie Bush, of
this city. Her family is one of the most
prominent in this State. ' Her mother

"MODEL WIFE.'
She Had, a Good Deal to Try Her, but Sha '
I Wouldn't Get Anjrry.
The best natured woman In the world '
resides in the city of Austin. She' has .
been married a. number -of years to a
man named Peterby, who is one of the
most - disagreeable, quarrelsome ' men
Outside of the Texas legislature. And
yet Mri and Mrs. Peterby have never
had a quarrel, for the reason that it is
impossible to make her angry. ; He has
scowled at her and occasionally wafted
a chair at her, just to see if she wouldn't
get angry, but he suffered disappoint
ment in each and every instance. Peter
by had I been bragging' to his friends
about what a good natured wife he has,
and Gilhooly offered to bet $50 that if.
Peterby! were "to go home, raise a fuss'
and pull the tablecloth full of dishes off
the table she would show signs of tem
per.. He had tried that with his wife
once, btit. he never repeated the experi
ment j--.. .j .',
Peterby said he didn't want to rob a
friend of his money, bnt he knew he
could win. At last he made the "bet
The friend was to watch the proceedings
through a-window. Peterby came home
apparently fighting drunk. She saw
him coming, went out to the gate,
opened jit kissed hirti and. assisted his
tottering steps into the house. He sat
down hard in the middle of the floor and
howled out: I .
"Confound your ugly picture, what
did you pull that chair from under me
for?" ' (..--,.
"I hope you did not hurt yourself?"
she replied, smiling kindly. "I was to
blame for it I; am so awkward. But
I'll try and not do it again if you will ,
forgive me this time. " And she helped
him to his feet although she had noth
ing to do with his falling. He then sat
on the sofa, and sliding off on the floor
abused her like a pickpocket for lifting
up the other end of the sofa. She said
she was sorry and finally led him to the
supper table. He threw a plate at her,
but she dodged it and asked him if he
would take tea or coffee. Then the brute
seized : the tablecloth, sat down on the
floor and pulled tho dishes and every
thing -over him in ono grand crash.
Some women might have lost their tem
per, but not so with Mrs. Peterby. She
did not blubber like a child; she did hot
even sulk or pout With a pleasant smile,
sho said: . j
VWell, George, this is a new idea.
We havo been married 10 years and
never eaten our supper on the floor.
Won't it be fun! Just like those picnics
we used to go to before we were mar
ried, " and then the angelio woman de
liberately sat down on the floor along
side of the wretch, arranged the dishes
and fixed him up a nice supper.. This
broke him up. He owned up he was only
fooling her and offered to give her $50
to ge herself a new dress with. She
took the money and bought him a new
suit of clothes and a box of cigars with
it Heaven will have to be repaired and
whitewashed before it is fit for that kind
of a woman. Tammany Times.
Was Shylock Jew? -Eleven
different versions of the pound
of flesh story exist in the early litera
ture of Europe, none of which is found
ed on a historical basis, have one related
by the -biographer of Pope Sixtus V.
The original tale runs as follows: Simon
Cenada.'a Jew, enters into a wager with
Sochi, a Christian, staking a pound of
his flesh against a' large sum of money
of the Christian. The Jew loses the
wager, and Sechi insists on his forfeit
The case is referred to the governor of
the city, who, in turn, places it before
the pope, who condemns both to lifelong
imprisonment from which they are
finally released on the payment of a
heavy fine. An Italian, Giovanni Floren
tino, in the sixteenth century, was the
first to change the roles of the Jew and
Christian, and in this altered form tho
bard'of Avon found the story. The poet
himself could scarcely have known any
Jews personally, since -they were ex
pelled from England 800 years before
his' time and were not readmitted until
after his death. From stage presenta
tions, from descriptions in books or from
popular! reports,, which were always de
rogatory to the Jewish' character, the
pi t -derived his knowledge off the Jew.

Saving Fund Versos Bank.
The New York Recorder tells a story
of a young man who was induced to join
aloan association, although somewhat
skeptical of their merits. He resolved
asa test to put by $10 a month in the
loauj association and a similar sum each
month ly a sayings bank. At the end of
lfr years' he balanced ids cash and found
that he had $1,800 to his credit in the
association and only $1 in the bank.
This is accounted for by two circum
stances, one being the dread of fines if
delinquent in the association, the other
being that the book value of his associ
ation stock was always so far , ahead of
the savings bank account that when he
wished to expend, any money he, found
itmuch less expensive to draw it out of
the bank, hence would not disturb his
shares in the association.

In Sweden more women than men are
found in the telegraph offices, and. single

of the postoffice service except that of
letter carriers. Women have the same

Denmark as men, and in uenmarK may
