To a Sentinel reporter, this morning, Mr. Daskam said the story was untrue from beginning to end, and asked to have it denied—Eddie. Tut, tut, dear Eddie. To a GAZETTE reporter the Colonel said the story was true in part, but incorrect in some of its details. The story was vouched for, however, to the B. L. D. by two of the Colonel’ s closest political friends and it is to be regretted if that money is not to be forth-coming as the B. L. D. ex- chinations of Messrs. Charles Burr, Burr Smith, “Bill” James, the Hon. Asa Smith, Jas. H. O’Reilly and some half dozen more, whom rumor credits with conspiring to get the Colonel’s “soft snap” away from him this fall. P. S. As the Colonel has been some- times known to romance Eddie is for- given. Mistaken Clemency; Governor Buchanan of Tennessee has been more merciful than just by com- muting the sentence of Col. H. Clay King, who shot in cold blood a brother attorney. Col. King abandoned his family for the companionship of the beautiful widow of Gen. Pillow, and when under the spell of her fascination conveyed to her his Arkansas estates The widow soontired of him, and hav- ing lost the widow the Colonel at- tempted to win back his lands by re- sorting to the courts. The trial was a sensational one and the crop of letters lower court, but the widow, although she had shaken the Colonel, still clung to his real estate and appealed the case. The Colonel. infuriated by the widow’s appeal and the use made by her attor- ney of his letters, waylaid the lawyer and shot him. Col. King was a liber- tine and a murderer and should have died a murderer’s death. Gov. Bucha- nan crawls behind a lot of lawyers’ , quibbles in order to justify this act of executive mercy, but the fact stands out clearly that a murderer has escaped a just sentence. “ Our Market Beef. As some of our tender-hearted peo- ple have been so shocked at the idea of little calves being butchered about our borough, that they have refused to eat veal, it may help their appetites for beef, to learn the modus operandi of butchering the wild Western steers railroaded alive to our Eastern markets by the great cattle kings of the far West, to be here prepared for our con- sumption. The following is a graphic description by an eye-witness of the horrors of one of the great Eastern slaughter houses ;-— “ Wild as deer upon the plains where they have been reared, the steers are - forced into railroad cars for a journey of two or three week’s duration, under . such strange cOnditions as fill them with with constant terror. They are necessarily packed in as closely as they can stand together—fifteen to seventeen in each car—for if one of the poor ex- hauSted brutes has room enough to lie down it will never rise again but will be trampled, mangled and perhaps killed by the others. If two fall, the others are tossed to and fro by the motion of the cars, and more are thrown down. Those that stand longest fight madly at "times, and at other times plunge upon and gore the fallen ones. When they reach the end of their long journey, it is not rare to find among them broken limbs, horns knocked off and eyes torn from their sockets ort smashed. Those less severely injured are covered with painful bruises, in which the blood‘ has _ settled and turned black. The animals in best condition have lost much in weight, are fevered, and, to make them fit for human food, should be turned l’oose in a pasture for at least a week or ten days, to restore their calm and dis- sipate the fever in their blood. But this is never done. Their meat is want- ed for the next day’s supply probably, certainly for the second, so they are hurried to the slaughter house—the ag- onized brutes that have been maimed patch. The atmosphere of the slaugh- ' ter house is heavy with the foul odors of blood and decomposition. Often at the first snifi‘ of it, the doomed animals become actually frenzied with terror. All ruminant animals'have the intensest horror of blood. Here there is a sur- feit of blood. They not only smell it but see it everywhere; splashed in pools upon the floor, dabbled on the walls, smeared upon the clothing,-dye- ' the steer is hoisted, dangling by the leg, a man thrusts a sharp knife into his throat; the blood pours down ofi‘ his muzzle ; his wide-dilated eyes glaze, and merciful death comes to his release. When they drag him to one, side and open him, they find his heart engorged and black blood standing in all his fe- vered veins. « It is full of the refuse of the animal’s system—excrementitions matter. The least injurious blood, the arterial, has been drained ofi‘ pretty well, but a large part of the venous re- mains. In a few hours that animal, quartered, will be one of apile on a huge wagon going down to be sold. Exultant. The office of the B. L.

Ask Your Friends Who have taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla what they think of it, and the replies will be positive in i’iavor. One has been cured of indigestion and dyspep- sia, another finds it indispensible for sick headache, others report remarka- ble cures of scrofula, salt rheum and other blood diseases, still others will tell you that it overcomes “that tired feeling,” and so on. Truly, the best advertising which Hood’s Sarsaparilla receives is the hearty endorsement of the army of friends it has won by its positive medicinal merit. Gave Hi}: Taffy. The engineer of the Pittefield express gave the esteemed Sentinel’s young man a dose of “tafi'y” yesterday when he stated that the Gazn'r'rn’s article about the Ghost train nearly running into the Pittsfield express on Saturday, July 30, had no foundation, and that an ordinary occurrence had been sen- sationally exaggerated. ,.We venture to say that this “ordinary occurrence" will not happen again, not will the Sentinel representative get the truth out of an interested railroad employe. As the railroad oflicials thought the oc- currence of suficient importance to in- vestigate it we are not surprised that the Sentinel’s sitting reporter thought otherwise. Nip and Tuck. One of the special features introduced f in the nautical melodrama, “Held in Slavery,” is the dancing Pickaninies “ Nip ” and “Tuck,” whose grotesque dancing has created a furore in drama- tic circles. ~ _- ' They were found originally in the back yard of their father’s home in M0- bile, Ala,, gesticulating and going through a series of steps and contor- tions that would outrival Carmencita, and after much persuasion Mr.,Hayden secured them to do this same dance in Held in Slavery. . . . .

Wednesday, ‘ Aug. 17. iln'a Hurry. . It is not often, that Borough tax col- lector, 'fBert” Kemp, gets left, but yes- terday was one of his poor days and he got badly left. He went to South Nor- walk earl in the afternoon to attend to some usiness matters, and being detained longer than expected-he de- sired to reach Norwalk. as quickly as possible. _ Glancing about the depot he discovered that th horse car had gone and the only con eyance in sight was mail carrier Bennett and his trotter, but not desiring to run the risk of be- ing arrested for fast drivuig heallowed Bennett to depart and resigned himself to a seat in the depot te await the next car. Just then‘ the Pittsfield express came: along and stopped at the depot, and “Bert” thinkinghimself in luck' in being able to reach Norwalk in two . minutes boarded the train and took a seat. The train soon started for Pitts- field, and the first intimation “Bert”, had of his position was when thetrain rushed by the Norwalk depot at a-lra'te of thirty miles an hour.

There should be no delay in this matter. A Runaway. A clerk in the employ of’Fred. S. Ambler, the groceryman, was deliver- ing goods at James E. Woodhull’s on Union Park, this morning. He left the horse unhitched, which becoming frightened, ran up Franklin avenue, to Belden avenue, to River street, and when in front of the Bennett place, be.- came detached from the wagon. He continued down River streetsto Dann’s stables, where he‘was stopped by Mr. Munson Hoyt. The only damage done was to the harness which will cost buta nominal sum to place in thorough re- pair. Twentieth Wedding Anniversary. Nearly one hundred persons assem- bled at the home of David B. Tinckler, in Cranberry Plains, last evening, to help him and his good wife celebrate the twentieth anniversar .of. their mar- riage. The storm rage in all of its fury outSide, but within the house all was sunshine and happiness. There was music and'dancing, games, con- . gratulations and everything else that goes to make such occasions enjoyable. . A very fine collation ' was also served. There was a roomful] of elegant and useful presents, and while there was a large quantity of China-ware there was not a single‘representative of the Celes- tial Kingdom preSent to identify it. The occasion will long linger in the fond recollection of Mr. and Mrs..- Tinckler. ' ‘ At Roton Last Eveningu There was a large crowd at Roton Point last night, and some who were present and and under shelter, say that the storm was “ magnificently grand,” the flash of. the lightning the booming of the thunder and the downpour of rain, making an “‘ aggregation une- qualed on earth.” Among those pres- ent to enjoy it, were a Sunday school from New Canaan. who came in carry- alls ; a party from Lounsbury, Mat- thewson 8: Co., by the steamer Jessie B., the N. P. E. societ of Bridgeport, by the steamer W. H. oyt, and alarge number in carriages and other convey- ances. Despite the storm, the gathering was a jolly one. Certainl there were many who were drenched y the rain, but all took it good naturedly and were ‘ inclined to be jolly over the situation, not excepting those who waded ankle deep in water to get to the wharf to take the steamer home. The Bridge- port party. did not leave for home until it was time to ,say’ good morning. A Strange Case. Last spring an Italian who had been someWhat injured by a, dump cart, at ‘ East Norwalk, was taken to the Alms ' House, where his injuries which did not seem to be of a serious nature were prescribed for by an attending physi- cian. He apparently recovered from them, and enjoyed as good an appetite as the others at the place, indeed he ate much more heartily than did many of the other inmates. Yet at the same time he kept losing flesh, until finally he wasnothino but a skeleton, and on some parts of his body the skin seemed to cover nothing" but bone. The physi- cian in attendance was puzzled. and consulted wilh other physicians who were also unable to account for " the man’s loss of flesh. ' r -- .
