New York, July 23.—A cable special fur-
nishes the following particulars of tlie suicide
of Mrs. Annie Wot more, which took place at
the residence of that lady, ahont Clinton, No.
12 Rue Chateau Biiantl, at 3 o'clock yester-
dav, which has creatcd a painful sensation
among English-American residents here. It
is the ohl story of misplaced affection, aban-
donment and dishonor.
Some two or three years ago, the deceased
lady met the marquis ot' Anglesly, then Lord
IJenry Paget. She was a handsome, attrac-
tive woman, and, it is said, she abandoned
her husband and only child under the im-
pression that, if she could get a divorce, Lord
Henry Paget would many her. However
this may be, it is certain that the relations
of the parties were of the most intimate char-
acter, and the friends of Mrs. Wetmore were
led to believe a promise of marriage actually
existed, and that a divorce having been ob-
tained, she would soon become Lady Angles-
y,Lord|Henry Paget having suweeded to the
title. The unfortunate lady's hopes were sud
denly blasted, however, by the publication of
the marriage of the new marquis to Hon. Mrs
Woodhouse. widow of Lord Kimberl's second
son, and daughter of Preston King, of Geor-
gia. The shock to Mrs. Wetmore was terri-
ble, and her friends thought she would lose
her reason.
After she became more composed, the idea
came to her of suing the marquis in the En-
glish law courts for breach of promise, as she
liad upwards of 200 of his letters, which she
considered would establish her case. Wheth.
er she shrank from the scandal of such pro-
ceedings or whether she was deterred from
the resolution by insufficiency, is not known,
but she settled down into a state of melan-
choly from which nothing could arouse her;
and finu .ly she procured the fatal drug which
put an end to her existence.
The police authorities held an inquiry into
the affair to-day. After inspecting the body,
gave M. Weeks, of the chapel in the Rue Bay-
ard. permission to make all necessary arrange-
ments for the funeral, The last services will
be conducted by Dr. Morgan, at his chapel,
ucxt Saturday morning.

Gen. Hancock.
"Jesse, James is not dead!"
To say that the/above words created
some little excitement1 is stating it mild}
as they were uttered by a deep-voiced in
dividual, who spoke as one in authority.
It was at Police Headquarters at a late
hour last night, and thosewho heard the
words were Sargeant Snyder, a detective,
a patrolman, and a Times representative.
"How do you know thatheisnotdeaJ?'
was quietly asked.
"Because I saw hini on Satnrdaj last at
Lee's Summit.'
"The man who laughs,'' as Victor Hugo
tells it, excited no more curiosity than did
thpj"man who talked," at ieast|as-far as the
three listeners were concerned, and they
closely eyed the stranger, who was seated
011 the iteps leading to the Council Cham-
ber, his listeners occupying chairs in front
of the station.
"How do you know it was Jesse James,"
querried the night sergeant, while the de-
tective's ears took in each word uttered
regarding the redoubtable bandit, whom
George Shepherd is positive he killed in
the brush near Joplin last fall.
"How do I know him? Well, I should
think I ort to know him, as I have seen
him often enough." «
Saying this the man straightened up,
presenting a fine physique, his face being
as dark as 'an Indian's from the sun,
while his black eyes glistened from be-
neath a wide-brimmed hat.
"Where did yon see him last!''

New Oj t.35A.ns, July 24.—A dispatch
from Vermillionville says: At a mass
meeting here to-day,called relative to con-
gressional matters, a motion to elect dele-
gates being under discussion, Hon. R. S.
Perry, of Iberia, was requested to speak.
Ho argued in favor of the regularity of
the late convention. Duriug.his remarks
he was frequently interrupted by the Hon.
J. H. Acklen who finally characterized
some remarks of the speaker as unequali-
tiedly false. Perry replied iu still severer
terms, when Acklen rushed forward and
attempted to strike him. A regular stam-
pede ensued. A motion to adjourn being
declared carried. Acklen rallied his follow-
ers and they proceeded to electjdelegates to
the district convention. Acklen claims
that the action of the delegates from the
third congressional district to the late
State convention iu nominating Ballou as
the democratic candidate for congress,was
irregular. The contest iu this district
to be lively.
Camp Meeting at Chalybeate Springs-
Itev. D. P. Haggard, of Sulphur Springs
is now in our city in the interest, of an en-
terprise in which our people are deeply
interested. He and his co-workers are
about to establish a mammoth camp
ground at the Chalybeate Springs near
Winnsboro, on the East Line Koad. It is
a beautiful section, abundant and excel-
lent water; and a sufficient quantity of
land has been secured to answer all pur-
poses. Mr. Haggard, in behalf of the
Board of Trustees, agrees to donate good
and eligible lots to any and all persons
who wish to erect tents. The buildings
and arbor will be so tar completed by the
middle of September next, that a camp
meeting will be held ou the grounds em-
bracing the second Sunday in September
next. Everybody invited to attend. The
enterprise is under the management of
the M. E. Church, South. The names of
some of the Trustees, D. P. Haggard, M.
IT. Neely, B. Abernathy, J. A. Weaver,
E. W. Taylor and others, is a sufficient
guarantee for the success of the scheme.

An Eagle that Rides Dogs—A Boy's Stange
Pet—Bucked over a Precipice-
1 [From tlie San Jose [Cal.) Mercury.]
Some three months ago, while hunting
in the mountains east of the twelve-mile,
house, Mr. Buflington captured a young
American eagle. At the time the bird
was quite* small and from appearances but
a few weeks old. Mr. Baffin gton has his
pet confined in the yard back of his. shop
and the many and curious monkeyshiues
indulged in by the mountain b'rd are re-
alty amusing, Measuring some eight feet
from tip to tip and weighing some forty
pounds, with talons three inches in length,
there is small chance tor any dogs residing
in that neighborhood. For as sure as a
canine makes his appearance the eagle
spreads his heavy'wings and with aloud
scream he lights upon the back of the ter-
ror stricken dog. The scene that follows
is one of great interest. The dog,without
further notice, darts through the side gate
aud out into the street, with the eagle at-
tached to his hack, and that,too,in a niau-
ner to stay Down the street he goes at
break neck speed. At a distance of about
two blocks the eagle bids the dog an af-
fectionate adieu and quietly returns as
though nothing had happened. The same
experiment is gone through with whenev-
er the dog cau be procured. It does not
seem necessary to remark that dogs of any
description are seldom seen in that part
of the town and never more than once.
It would be a blessing to our city if we
had one such bird 011 each block.
would save our pound-master much
uecersary trouble.
BUCKED OVER A TRECIPICE.
[From the San Jose (Cal.) Herald.)
Geo. Clement, of Oakland, a school
teacher, narrowly escaped death, yester-
day afternoon, while hunting in Hall,s
Valley, about forty miles from town. He
came across a fine buck and fired. Mr.
Clement hastened up to the body aud was

was the day after ^ John W. Watcher, the poft£as wben th(1 £nimal 8U(ideuly sprang
t. Upand rushed on him. Mr. Clement was
taken unawares, but instead of retreating
he grasp the antiers of the infuriated ani-
mal and for a few moments held him at
arms length like a vise. They stood facing
each other several moments, when the
hunter began to yield gradually to his
more formidable antagonist. The buck
finally seemed to be infused with new life,
and with a desperate effort hurled the hun-
ter over a cliff. They both rolled down
together to the bottom or the precipice,
about eighty feet. The buck was killed
before he reached the bottom, and, Mr.
Clement had his collar-bone broken and
sustained severe bruises. When Mr. Clem-
ent was able to rise he crawled up the
cliff, aud after a great effort managed to
reach his horse. He rode to the nearest
habitation, suffering great pain. Dr.
Caldwell, of Sau Jose, was immediately
summoned, and late last niget visited the
sufferer. The man is now at shatters
ranclie, in Hall's Valley, aud will belaid
up for some time.
SHEEP HERDERS IN A CAVE.
[From the Keer Co. (Texas] Frontiersman.]
There are numerous caves around tlie
head of the river, and Messrs. Tremblet
and Harbocker, slieep-herders for Scott &
Oakly, partially explored one recently. It
opens on the top of a hill on the divide,
obout thirty miles from here. The bush-
es being cleared from the mouth they fas-
tened a rope to a stout pole laid across the
top and let themselves down. The descent
is perfectly perpendicular, xnd it is twen-
ty-tour feet to the bottom. Once there
they found themselves in a large cavern
some twenty five feet in height and filled
with beautiiul stalactites of ail shapes,
and many ten feet in length, and clear,
ice-cold water dripping from the roof. Ex-
ploring it for 200 yards a pit was found,
evidently leading to another cave, but
this was'not explored. The skeleton of a

detective, was killed near Liberty Land-
iug."
"Did you live in this locality ?''
"My brother resided near Independance
and at the close of the war I went to Mon-
tana, but returned to Missouri in 1869.''
"How did yon happen fto be in the lo-
cality at the time of Witeher' death."
"Well, I don't mind telling yon. When
I came back to the country from Montana
1 didn't care about living in Independ-
ence, and so roamed over the country. At
one time I was taken for one of Pinker
ton's detectives, and was told to clear out
as Jesse and Frank James had both vow-
ed to 'button hole' me."
"DID YOU FEAR THE1IV'
"No, not iu the least, although I want-
ed it understood that I was no detective.
The day Witeher was killed I saw him at
Liberty. The same night I crossed the
river and slept at the house of a friend.
To or three hours before daylight I heard
shooting and made up my mind that the
James boys or Clel Miller had killed the
detectives. Not knowing what might hap-
pen, I got up and waited to Independ-
ence and later in the day was told that a
dead body had been found in the woods,
but that no one knew who it was. I fol-
lowed the crowd and as I reached the
room where the body was lying I recog-
nized it immediately. As I turned to go
out I s:iw Jesse James standing just at
the man's feet. He had two revolvers
under his coat and I did not dare tell who
the dead man was then for fear that I
would be marked by Jesse as a detec-
tive."
"DID YOU AFTERWARDS TELL.''
"Yes, as soon as I reached the street,
Jesse did not follow me as I thought he
would, but I came to Kansas City 011 foot
and poor Witeher was buried."
"Do you believe it was Jesse James
who killed Witeher V'
"I do not. . I believe Clel Miller killed
the man.''
"Well, Miller had threatened to kill any
(1—d detective who followed his path and
he was in the boat that night when Witeh-
er was terried across to his death. Miller
I think, was killed up in Minnesota with
Bill Chadwell and Charlie Pitts. Cole
Younger was game at that time -and if
Jesse aud Frank had not left him in a
cowardly manner.''
"DID YOU KNOW ALLAN PALMER ?"
' Yes, and he was a brave man for a
little one. He killed a Federal Colonel in
Kentucky during the war, from whom he
had borrowed a horse, when lis was with
the Quantrell gang and had to skip the
country.''
"And you are sure Jesse James is yet
alive?"
"I was in Lee's Summit last Saturday
with Bill—and as we came out of a saloou
he said, 'By G—, there goes Jesse James,
lie served with him during the last year
ot the war, and dodged back into the sa-
loon so as not to be seen. The man he
mentioned was riding a splendid horse,
and had a brace ot revolvers in his belt.
Fie was about Jesse James' size although
his heard had been cut off. I did not
have a fair look at the man but believe if
was Jesse James."
"Why didn't you speak of this before V
"Bill didn't want me to so I kept 11111111."
At this time several officers sauntered
up and the conversation closed. The man
who talked so knowingly of the James
boys gang had "been there'' and knew
what he was talking about, ne said
George Shepherd was bravo enough to
try and kill Jesse James, but he did not
think the task had yet been accomplished.

A BOY'S STRANGE TET.
[From the San Bernardino (Cal.) Index.]
Not long ago, near the Temescal tin
mines, in this county, lived a mau named
William Jenkins. He had a small boy
between two and three years old. It was
observed for some time that this child
spent the larger part of his time at play
near a pile of rocks some distance from
the house. The father took occasion one
day to follow his little boy soon after he
had gone to his usual place of resort, when,
to his horror, he discovered a large rattle-
snake coiled about the child, who was
feeding the poisonous reptile from his
hand. The father, almost paralyzed with
fear, secured a stick, and, watching his op-
portunity, threw the serpent from the
child and killed it. The child was over-
come with grief at the death of his pet
and would not be comforted for a long
time. The snake was of the red variety
and about six feet in length.
A CROW AND RATTLESNAKE FIGHT.
[From the Klickitat (\y. T.) Sentinel.]
A gentleman living in Wood Gulch re-
lated to us a tew days ago a 'snake story,
which we give as near as we remember.
He was climbing a fence, and while in the
act noticed a crow a short distance from
him jumping back and torth in an excited
manner. He kept quiet with a view of as
certaining the cause, which soon made
itself apparent. The crow was having an
encounter with a large rattlesnake. The
snake wouid strike repeatedly, but the
crow should evade hi.n every* time, and
finally flew away, when the gentleman, on
making an examination, found that the
snake's head was picked to shreds and
was quite dead.
A masked party went to tho residence
of Mr. Wiswall, a citizen residing in the
Zona Libra, between Marl in and Bell, and
ordered him to cease promulgating the
doctrine of spiritualism. Fortunately a
son of the old gentleman was at home and
being of a stubborn turn of mind, looked
out 011 the "reformers and missioneries"
and said "scat!" and they "scattered" in
precipitate order. Another of the same
party took it on themselves to call on a
Mr. Clark of the same vicinity and order-
ed him to leave the county in five da vs.

eeting 111 Brazos includes a lecture on

THE STTTV FOR. I88O.
The Sun will deal with the eveuts of the
year 1880 iu its owu fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January 1
until December 31st will be conducted aa a
newspaper, written in the English language,
and printed for the people.
As a newspaper, Tii Sun ..believes in get-
ting all the news of the world promptly, aud

"•.red iti these Oilgraplis, is done by the skill- fi,e shape that will enable its readers to keen

fact that the the law controlling its daily make-up. It

the other features combined. I might mention j enjoys an income which it is at all times pre-
otiier wunts, but it would be useless. For it is pared to spend liberally tor the benefit Of it
only oy seeing, tnat people will believe, and I - - - -
feei confident they will scarcely believe until
they see them with their own eyes; that an old,
dingy, failed and imperfect, small picture, can be
chai ned into a large, handsome aid accurate
representation of tlie original being. Now 1 am
well aware there are people the same as luytelf,
readers. People of all conditions of life aud
all ways of thinking buy and read the Tint
Sun ; and they all derive satisfaction of some
sort Ironi its columns, for they keep on buy-
ing aud reading it.
... _ _ „ , i In its comments on men aud affairs, The
suffering in their memory the loss or absence by Sun believes that the only guide of nolicr
death, or distant removal of dear and cherished should lie common sense, iuspired by genuine
American principles and backed by honesty
of purpose. For this reason it is, and will
friends, for which there is a silent longing which
language cannot express. Now to have a life
like representation iu oil painting surely is
worth some self denial'to procure I would just
here say that Oilgraplis are painted on metalic
plates very similar to the old style of oil painting
on canvass, but tliey are more durable, as they
will not fade or dry up, aud crack like canvass
continue to be, absolutely independent of
party, class, clique, organization, or interest.
It is for all, but of none. It will continue to
praise what is goad aud reprobate what is
evil, taking care that its language is to the
painting. The expense is much less, being only point and plain, beyond the possibility of be-
abont one quarter as much as painting 011 can- jUg misunderstood. It is uninfluenced by

truth to its friends aud about its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which Thb
Suk will be, conducted during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no pa-
triotic American can afford to close his eyes
to publje atliiirs. It is impossible to exag-
gerate the importance of tlie )>olitical events
which it has in store, or the necessity of reso-
lute vigilauce on the part of every citizen
who desires to preserve the GoverJinent that
the founders gave us. The deliates aud acts
of Congress, the utterances of the prem, the
exciting contests of the Itepublicau aud Dem-
ocratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the countiy, the varying drift of
public sentiment, will all bear directly aud
effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presiden-
tial election, to be held in November. Four
years ago next November the will of tlie na-
tion, as expressed at the polls, was thwarted
by an abominable conspiracy, the promoters
and beneflciuries of which still hold tlie offi-
ces they stole. Will the crime of 1576 be re-
peated in 188(1 ? The past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant, aud in-
solent administration intrenched at Wasliiug-
tou. The Sun did sometning toward dis-
lodging the gang and breaking its jniwer.
The same men are now intriguiug to restore
their leader and themselves to places from
which they were driven oy the iudignation ot
the people. Will they succeed t Tlie coming
year will bring the answers to these momen-
tous questions. Tiie Sl-n will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed
and to exhibit them clearly aud fearlessly iu
their iclations to expediencv and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good
humor in looking at the miuor affairs of life,
and in great things a steadfast purpose to
maintain the rights of the people and the
principles of the Constitution against all ag-
gressors, The Sun is prepared to write a
truthful, instructive, and at the same time
entertaining histoid of 1880.
