THE LAND OF FEUDS, Pen Pictures of the Simple People of the Kentucky Mountain Region "WHERE VENDETTAS AEE COMMON." Factional the Differences Extended Even Courts of Law and Statutes Disregarded. to DISPUTES SETTLED BT THE SHOTGUN. An Explanitlon or the Causes of the toloaical Murderous Affiajs. rCORBESrOXDEXCE OF TIIE DISPATCH. 1 Lexisgtos, July 18.

The news now and then of another mountain vendetta has almost ceased to elicit comment, and unless of a very bloody character causes no excitement whatever. The recent feud at Harlan is fast becoming a memory, although it has cost the State of Kentucky thousands of dollars and blackened its reputation as a law-abiding community almost beyond repair. The local authorities are unable to cope with these tactions, and in a number of instances are partisans themselves. It is a well known fact that a Sheriff in one of the mountain counties declared that he would not arrest a noted desperado, upon whose head the price had been set, if he stood before him, claimine that that individual was his iriend, and that he would die for him if it was necessary. The Judge of the same county has done everything in his power to arrest the same outlaw, not because he feels that it is his duty, but because he hates him as intensely as his brother officer loves him.

They are, in truth, membors each of the factions that have rendered their country a plague spot on the face of this State. LATVLESSKESS SUrBEME. Of course, with the County Judge and the Sheriff arraved on oppositesides the desperadoes cannot'be arrested. To impanel an impartial jury in this countv in cise of an arrest wonldbe as impossible as changing the course of the Cumberland river. The few law abiding citizens that live in this community are overaweJ and bulldozed by the more "turbulent element, and are in such a hopeless minority that they dare not utter a protest or suggest a remedy.

The law is always lax in isolated communities ani the character of the Kentucky mountaineer leads him to take advantage of this fact. The most of these feuds can be traced to intermarriage. These mountaineers are descendants ot a people who have always shunned civilization, who always seek the solitude and wilds of a new country. They are a type of what Boone ana Kenton were. Their lite is as free as the air they breathe.

They are simple, modest and honest, and know nothing whatever of ambition. A LAW TOfTO THEMSELVES. They are content to live and die in the shadow of the hills where they were born, and are restive only when trammeled by-civilization under the garb of the law, of which they have an utter contempt. They seldom appeal to law for redress for wrong, but believe in bettling it man to man, which olten ends in the death of one or the other, and the first thing one knows another mountain feud is in full blast. It is well to draw a picture of the individual who has brought this State to such disrepute.

He is lengthy, as most Ken-tuckians are, slim and supple. His head is usually surmounted with a home-made chip hat, generally of a battered appearance, through which his light tow hair can De seen. His eyes are gray and keen, and naturally iair, but generally very much tanned, contrasting strangely with the light-greenish hue of' his beard. A hickory shirt, collarless and open at the breast, a suit of butternut jeans and brogans complete the costume. THE MOUNTAINEERS.

These people are easily amused. The violin and banjo are tbeir favorite instruments of music They will sit and listen for hours to one of their number, who is generally a wit as well as a mnsician, play on a cracked fiddle or drum or a tuneless banjo. The country that these people inhabit is unsurpassed in grandeur by any portion of the Union. Take for instance that part of the State in which the Cumberland commences its winding coarse. This stream alone is rich with memories and reminiscences of that fraternal strife that appeared at one time to rend a continent and strangle a republic that led the world iu science, though scarce a hundred years old.

llpoc its dancing waves have floated the gunboats of the Government and its vine-covered banks has lelt the thunder shock, of battle. Blood from the Northland and blood from the Southland has been mingled together, and the sonls of the Cead have floated out into the unknown realm as the blood drifted out to the sea. Liberty must have knelt in sackcloth and ashes in those tronbloui times, and her head must have bent low when the sullen gun at Sumpter awoke a peaceful country to war. EFFECTS OF THE TVAR. There are many things that remind one nf the wir in the solitude of these mountains.

During the recent visit of the State troops to that section, one day an old man came into camp, who eyed them curiously for awhile, and then alter a bit he seemed to have screwed his courage up a little. He approached the sergeant the guard, and asked him if he knew anything of his son, who had left him years, ago to 'ollow "sojers" like they were. "He was but a lad," the old man said, "and he has never come back." He thought probably some of the "sojers" could tell him something of his boy. This boy, as was afterward learned, had gone down in one of those awful charges ot Stone river, and was numbered among the unknown dead that are gathered from every battlefield. There are many lite this old man that have lelt the cruel effects of the war.

"Widows who have lost husbands, and children who have lost fathers. Many of them know not when the war commenced nor when it ended knew not what great questions were involved and cared as little. ABCADIAS' EXISTENCE. Their life upon the hills and in the valley of the Cumberland had up to that time been truly an Arcadian one. The sound of the bugle and drum awoke this slumbering paradise, nor left it until that insatiable monster, war, had drawn into its embrace the flower ot its people.

"While the State guard were among them nothing seemed to delight them as much as the sound ot a drum. Its martial tones eeemed to fascinate them as nothing else could. It could be plainly seen how easily their feelings could be swayed, and how easily they conld be influenced to right or wrong. They would cluster around' the drummers, and give vent to their enthr1 siasm by Irequent shouts and expressions of encouragement to them who, nothing loth, would beat the different marches and calls for these simple people hours at a time. One day a corporal was accidentally shot and mortally wounded, and in a short time there were several women at the side of the dying boy, and they stood over him with Streaming eyes, and ministered to him with untiring care and pity.

A PEEACHEE'S BRAVEST. Kow such a scene as that is common enough with them, but that divine pity that has a seat within every woman's soul, led them to the couch of the dying stranger. This boy's body was taken that night over a mountain road to a distant station, full 35 niiles, to be sent home. It was accompanied by two soldiers and a mouutain preacher. On ther way to the station they were de-laved by several little accidents to the wagon, and it was seen that one of the party would have to go ahead and if possible hold up the train.

This could be accomplished bv a short foot route across an immense hill, which would cut off several miles. It was a lonelv route and a very tiresome one, but as soon" as the matter was suggested the preacher was the volunteer, and he accomplished his purpose. The train was delayed until the arrival of the wagon. One would have to go over that road and go over it at night to appreciate the wnw understand the kindness of the deed, -that man is held in tender regard by every companion of the dead soldier, and is a tvpe of the master he serves. VENDETTAS DYING OUT.

Since the war has become a memory these people have been drawn into an internecine strife by bad men. They are naturally clannish and easily led. The law of nature forces them upon one side or the other that of self-preservation. If one knows anything of these mountain vendettas he knows this is true. There can be no neutrality, and there is none.

They may say to a stranger that they belong to neither one side nor the other, but it is not true, for every man, woman and child is a partisan. There is a mother who, from her latticed window, can look down upon three graves in which lies the bodies of her sons who were shot to death in a recent fend, and in sight of the same window is the house of the man who p.in:pd their death. She says but little, but in her eyes cap be seen traces of the tragedy, ana you are irapresseu iuiu idea that s'he is looking forward to a time when the account will be settled in full. The day is drawing near when these feuds, however, will be a thing of the past, and that portion of Kentucky which has known them so long will be pointed to with pride, and those silent hills that have thrown shadows ver deeds ot violence, will be illuminated with the glare of the furnace and the echo of the shrill sounds of the locomotive. HOAGLAND.

A COUNTEBFEITEB SUICIDES. Kotorloni Brickjnrd Snrder Hangs The Hiuuelf in Lebanon Jail. fFPECIAt. TELZGBAK TO IHJ DlEFATCH.l Lebanon, July 18. A few days ago was chronicled the capture ot a notorious counterfeiter of half dollars at Annville, and his imprisonment in the Lebanon county jail here.

The man was Charles Becker, alias "Brickyard Snyder." Since his arrest he acted strancely, and the prison keepers maintained a watch over him lest he should do himself injury. But to no purpose. On Monday the prisoner succeeded in hanging himself, and yesterday his dead bodv was buried at the County Almshouse, but later was disinterred and taken to Philadelphia for examination at the Philadelphia hospital. He had made a sort of rope out of a piece of blanket, one end of which he tied to an iron bar in his cell window and the other end around his neck, and then jumped off his mattress. He was 40 years old.

"WELL SOON BE OUT OF DEBT. Allegheny City's Great Gain by Annexation to Hitiburg-. Controller Morrow was congratulating himself yesterday that Pittsburg's debt would be wiped out by 1910. "There is not much likelihood that new debts will be incurred before that time," he said, "as the question of issuing bonds has to be submitted to a vote of the people, and they are generally opposed to such action." Delinquent Tax Collector Ford, who was in the Controller's office at the time, was led by this to remark that, while he was in favor of the consolidation of the two cities, still ths fact that Pittsburg would soon be out of debt, and at the same time possess all of the latest improvements, was additional evidence to him that Allegheny City would have the best of the deal. A JO-BOAT MYSTEEY.

It Floats Down the Ohio In Good Shape, bnt Wiihont Occupants. There is a jo-boat mystery lying partly submerged in the Ohio river at the foot of Chartiers street, Manchester. Abonjt a month ago the boat floated down the Ohio in midstream and a man named Sarver swam out and caught it. In the boat was a brand new set of furniture and cooking utensils. Advertisements have been inserted in the papers, but no owner has been found.

Jlr. Sarver thinks the owners of the boat were either drowned or met with foul play. The boat is worth several hundred dollars. Closed a Brief Season. The Oriental Opera Company, of New Xork.

THE A GOLDEN HARYEST Being' Gathered by the Chicago Ice Trust at the People's Expense. A R17AL APPEARS IN THE FIELD, I Which Proposes to Make Things Lively for the Combination. A HINT TO THE PITTSBURG DEAIEBB rsrscuL teleobau to titb sispatch.i Chicago, July 18. The hot weather of July finds Chicago tight in the grip of a gigantic ice combine, which has forced the price to large consumers up to $11 and $12 per ton and shapes things so that the small consumer has to pay as much as $20 and $25 per ton. The story of its formation is a short and familiar one to Chicagoaus.

Taking advantage of the scarcity of cold weather last winter the four largest Chicago firms, the Lincoln Ice Company, the Wasbiugton Ice Company, A. S. Piper and J. P. Smith Co.

pooled their stocks on hand, which were quite large, and bought all they could from Wisconsin dealers, and believing that nothing could stand against them put up their schedule until GROWLING LOUD AND FIERCE, is heard on every hand. The small Catcher who used to pay from $175 to $2 50 per ton, has been compelled to pay $10 to the rapacious combine, thus increasing his ice bill from $5 to $20 per week, without any corresponding increase in prices, because he has had to compete with other large packing firms which use artificial ice are therefore independent of the combine. This is the more exasperating since it is capable of demonstration that the combine bought its ice for 90 cents per ton on commission and paid only 60 cents per ton to have it delivered in Chicago. The produce commission men have been as great sufferers as th retail butchers and a few of them have formed a small combination and gone Into the ice business on tbeir own account. But the principal antagonist of the combine is the Merchants' Ice Company, which was recently incorporated with a capital stock of $50,000.

At its head is Thomas Armour, the most energetic opponent of the Chicago dressed beef monopoly to be found in Chicazo. and with him are F. M. Smith, F. Scheibel, John Ford and Henry Sloan.

UNDERSELLING THE TRUST. These people buy their ice in Wisconsin, and undersell the trust about $4 per ton to large consumers, and more to small ones. Its half dozen wagons have proved inadequate, and 20 more are to be' put on the streell tit once. The advent of this company has caused the ice combine to stop and think. To-day it cancelled an announcement that prices wonld now go up another notch.

The artificial ice machines do not seem to cut much of a figure in the struggle for cheap ice, although this is a headquarters for the manufacture and sale of artificial ice machinery. It is said that a similar combine has its hand en the throat ot Pittsburg's ice consuming public. If that is true, the experiment of the Merchants' Ice Company ought to furnish a valuable hint what to do. BUmnrck' Neuralgia. Trntn, London.

May 29, 1690. All the deolorables and despicables of Germany have been engaged dnring the last few weeks in the congenial task ol kicking the dead lion; but I do not suppose that Prince Bismarck troubles himself about the malevolent inventions of snch contemptible vermin. The idea of Prince Bismarck having impaired his faculties by morphia-drinking is really too extravaga'ntly preposterous a fiction for even lunatics to credit, and the even more offensive allegation of "alcoholism" is not less nonsensical. Prince Bismarck formetly took his fair share of wine or beer, but he is a man of iron head, and certainly never was affected iu any way by his potations. The days, however, when he drank champagne, beer and Bhine wines have passed away.

A few years ago Prince Bismarck found his neuralgia benefited by a daily bottle of strong dry port, the wine being ot special quality which he obtained direct from Oporto; but this was also discontinued when he consulted Dr. Schweninger; and for a long time past his customany beverage has been weak whisky and Apollinaris, and even of this only a comparatively small quantity has been allowed. sat ATLANTIC CITY.

For two days past the cottagers along Nantasket Beach have been frightened half out of their wits by a sea monster whioh disported itself so close to tho beach as to be plainly visible- from tho shore. The more timid ones could think of nothing but the mythical sea serpent, and all along the beach only tho boldest dared try the surf bathing. To-day the monster came even nearer the shore, and hundreds of people saw itswrmmlng to and fro. At one time a big head would be raised out of the water and again a large fin wonld be seen. For several hours the creature patrolled the coast.

It was not a sea serpent, bnt a fin-back whale about 50 or 60 feet long. It was unusually close to the shore, and its peculiar antics gave rise to the stories that It was a sea serpent.
