The Morning Sirs will begin the
publication of anew serial story next
Sunday entitled “The Creole of Glenside.’’
by Mrs. James Iline, of Rome. Ga. The
story depicts, in a graphic and interest
ing way, plantation life and manners.
Tne characters are portrayed with truth
and fidelity and the interest is maintained
from the beginning to the end. It is well
worth perusal.
One of the Greelv survivors, Sergeant
Brainanl, has just begun to lecture. Can’t

The Rugby (Tenn.) people are not so
disloyal as has been supposed. They
pray for the President first and then for

It is leared that Miss Maud Howe's
new dramatic sketch, “Golden Meshes,”
will not be a very decided success. If
the talented young lady had just turned
her attention to “Golden Slippers,” she
might have made herself solid with the
minstrel performers.
The Brooklyn Eagle has been assured
that Senator Conkling will cast his vote
in November for Hon. John Prohibition
St. John. The Senator has doubtless be

Burglary is becoming a fine art. The

Gen. Alfred Pleasanton, the blue grass

As the first political murder of the cam
paign was committed in Pennsylvania
last Monday by a Republican, the mur

The horrible rumor has come to the cars
of the Republican Campaign Committee
men that the government will not issue
any more one and two dollar bills until
next January. Silver will be too heavy
and noisy to use at the election and
checks would be sure to fall into the hands
of the grand juries. The trouble promises
to be serious.
A Republican paper that has been ar
guing all along that American manufac
turers cannot compete with foreigners
without protection, now prints a long
article in the attempt to prove that the
tariff has reduced the cost of cotton hnd
woolen goods. It does not go to the extent
of a Georgia protectionist cotton spinner,
who professed to be in favor of a high tariff
just for the benefit of makers ol cotton
machinery.
Marriageable lady school teachers Lave
come to look on Washington Territory as
the true Arcadia. Forty-nine new teachers
have already found husbands out there
this year, and the good work goes bravely
on. There are not only plenty situations
vacant at all times on aecount of the fre
quency of the marriages, but the women
can vote, and those who can’t catch a
husband can have a chance to run for of
fice, and branch out into politics.
There is a very strong suspicion
throughout the country that the mutila
tion of the gravestone of Blame’s child is
a part of the “jingo policy being worked
in the campaign.” the outrage may not
have been committed with his knowledge
or consent, yet in all probability it was
done to excite sympathy for him. There
is scarcely any limit to the devises of un
scrupulous politicians, and Blaine and
his managers are certainly the most un
scrupulous set that ever figured in
country.
The wordy diplomats of the alleged civ
ilized world” have never been able to make
a clearer treaty than that between the
Khedive of Egypt and the King of Ethi

goosa Negust and his Highness the Khe
dive engage to deliver up, one to the other,
any criminal or criminals who may have
fled to escape punishment from the do
minions of the one to the dominions ol the
other.” Egyptian bank defaulters don’t
settle down in Ethiopia and become lead
ing citizens in a few days. ,
It is suspected that Gen. Logan is flyiDg
around making speeches to avoid his own
fitate. which is not only destitute of en
thusiasm for the Republican ticket, but
is suffering from one of the severest
droughts known there in many years.
There has been no rain in the central and
southern portions of the State for several
weeks. Gorn is drying up only half ma
tured, grass is dead and cattle of all
kinds are dying for want of water. Proba
bly the General’s oratory would have a
dampening effect on these distressed sec
tions if he could be induced to turn his
Make Nominations.
In many of the counties in Southern
Georgia th Deuociats have failed to
make party nominations, and the conse
quence is there are numerous candidates
and a sort of “go-as-you-please” contest.
This condition of affairs promises to let a
number of Republicans into the General
Assembly, and probably make a few col
ored Sneriffs, Tax'Collectors, Ordinaries
and other officials. The rule of the Dem
ocratic party in Georgia means an eco
nomical administration of affairs. If men
are elected to office who have no interests
at stake in the communities in which they
live, it is doubtful whether thev will ad
minister their trusts in a way to promote
the best Interest of the people.
Heretofore in the First Congressional
district, especially in the wire-grass coun
ties. the colored people have been almost
neutral in politics, taking verv little
interest in political matters unless stirred
up by their party leaders from the cities,
and then only in Congressional elections.
The black vote in many of these counties
has increased 50 per cent, within the last
two years by reason of the importation of
negroes from Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina to work upon the tur
pentine farms. Many of these new comers,
it is alleged, are taking an active part in
politics. The First district and nearly
every county in it. are Democratic. All
that is necessary to show a Democratic
majority is to have a full vote polled with
a straigbtout Democratic ticket in the
field. But if the Democratic voters stay
at home, and if those who do go to the polls
scatter their votes, there will be a good
many Republicans elected. Let the Ex
ecutive Committees of the counties see
to it that the Democratic party does not
scatter and waste its strength in the pend
ing contest.
Let them insist that incompetent men
who have thrust themselves to the front
for prominent jiositions shall take a back
seat, and let tbem see that good men are
nominated for all the responsible and
important positions. Especially is it de
sirable that good men shall be sent to the
Legislature —not only good men in the
sense of being honest, but men who un
derstand the wants of the State, and who
are qualified to frame laws to meet those
wants. It is a great drawback to the
State to send men to the Legislature who,
though thoroughly honest, have not the
remotest idea of the duties required of
them. A half dozen men make the laws,
and by making concessions on purely lo
cal matters, manage to get just what they
want.
Katon and tlie Cranks.
Mr. Dorman B. Eaton, of the Civil Ser
vice Commission, appears to have a good
deal of trouble in making the employes of
the government at Washington and else
where throughout the country under
stand that they are under no obligation
whatever to make contributions for politi
cal purposes. In a letter published yes
terday he reiterates what he has said at
least a dozen times before in letters and
interviews, nis excuse for bis last letter
is that be has received a large number of
communications from government em
ployes asking his advice as to what they
shall do with respect to the demand of
the Republican assessment committee,
which has established its headquarters at
Washington, and is sending out circular
letters asking for money for campaign
purposes. Mr. Eaton’s numerous ap
pearances before the public in connection
with this assessment matter raises the
suspicion that either he is anxious for
notoriety or that there are a good many
government employes who do not possess
a very high order of intelligence. They
ought to be able to read the civil service
law. It is so very plain that they ought
to have no trouble in understanding it.
And if they find any difficulty in inter
preting it correctly they have had it ex
plained often enough by Mr. Eaton and
the other members of the commission to
make it clear to them.
No one in the government service is
liable to lose bis place for refusing to
submit to the demands of the Republican
assessment committee. The President
has said that he proposed to live up to the
civil service law, and that lie would
remove no one because of a refusal to
contribute to the campaign funds of his
party. The Republicans never did take
kindly to the civil service law, and they
propose to scare all the money they can
out of the government employes to aid
Blaine’s canvass. All the employes have
to do, however, is to refuse to allow them
selves to be robbed by the Republican
committee. They are perfectly safe in
refusing to make contributions. The con
dition of affairs is so simple that it is dif
ficult to see why they should keep bother
ing Eaton and the other Commissioners
about the matter.
There are a good many persons in the
departments at Washington, however,
who are not far removed from cranks.
They will continue writing to Eaton and
Eaton will keep on replying to tbem.
Eaton will be happy as long as newspa
pers continue to publish his letters, and
the cranks will continue to bother Eaton
as long as he continues to encourage
tbem. Additional correspondence, there
fore, may be expected.
Tlie Parnell Proposition.
The reported proposition to turn the
Irish vote over to the political party that
will promise to tavor legislation that will
admit certain kinds of goods manufac
tured in Ireland free of duty is worthy of
attention. Mrs. Tarnell, the mother of
l’arnell, the Irish leader in Parliament, is
at the head of the movement to secure
such legislation, and it is understood that
she represents her son. She denies most
emphatically, however, that the move
ment has any connection with politics.
The purpose is, she states, simply to es
tablish manufactories in Ireland for the
benefit of the Irish people. It will be
difficult, however, to avoid the impression
that the movement was started at this
time with the hope that one or the other
of the great political parties would in
dorse it with the expectation of getting
the Irish vote.
Of course neither party could give any
pledges with regard to the matter that
would be binding, because they have
made their platforms and there is no way
to change or add to them before the elec
tion. except by means of conventions, and
there is no probability that there will be
any more conventions. The party lead
ers may make promises, but what would
such promises be worth? The stump ora
tors may say that their respective parties
wiil favor the legislation desired, but
what the stump orators say will not be
binding on anybody.
Mrs. Parnell ought to hare presented
her proposition to the Chicago Conven
tions. She might have received some en
couragement. although parties do not al
ways keep the promises they make in
their platforms. There is quite a general
desire in this country to assist Ireland.
It is a question, however, whether it
would be wise, in legislating, to make a
discrimination in favor of any foreign
countrv. To do what Mrs. Parnell pro
poses might make a precedent that would
be the source of endless trouble.
To curry favor with voters, however,
political parties are ready to favor almost
any kind of legislation. To gain the soldier
vote, for instance, the Republican party
has passed some very unwise pension
laws. Those unwise laws have cost the
government many millions of dollars. If
concessions in our revenue laws were
made to Ireland, how long would it be
before similar concessions would l>e de
manded for other countries?
English sparrows appear to be less
numerous than formerly in most of the
cities into which they have been intro
duced. Their decrease is attributed to
the shooting proclivities of the small boy
with the Alabama sling and to the fact
that the tyrds are beginning to be fond of
country life. When they become plenti
ful in the fields and woods it may very
easily be determined whether they do
more good in the destruction of insects
than they do harm to the crops. This ap
pears still to be an open question.
The Memphis authorities complain of
a large floating Sunday population which
they don’t know what to do with. A
floating population, paradoxical as it may
appear, is always a sinking population at
least from a moral standpoint.
A Celebrated Case.
Gov. Ireland, of Texas, has been ar
rested on a writ issued by the Federal
Court of that State in a suit instituted by
a convict named Francois. The case has
already attracted a great deal of atten
tion, and the arrest of Gov. Ireland
promises to make it celebrated. The con
vict is still In prison. In 1379 he was
sentenced to live years in the penitenti
ary, under an ante bellum statute, for
marrying a mulatto woman. The case
did not end when Francois was sent to
the penitentiary. It was carried to the
Supreme Court of the State, where the
action of the lower court was sustained.
It was then taken to the United States
Circuit Court, and there, in one shape and
another, it has remained ever since.
About the . Ist of this month it
was expected that a decision would
be reached, and the impression pre
vailed that it would be in Francois’
favor. Before any decision was rendered,
however, the Governor issued a very
peculiar pardon to Francois. In the pro
clamation announcing the pardon, the
Governor said:
This man’s time is nearly out, and the
Federal judiciary have determined to re
lease him unlawfully, as I think, and, as
there is no way to’ prevent it, believing
that such decision would be detrimental
to the public service in Texas, said con
vict is so far pardoned as to release him
from imprisonment, but no further. He
is not restored to citizenship or as a wit
ness.
This was a rather remarkable docu
ment for two reasons. First, because the
Governor stated what be could not pos
sibly have known, viz.: that “the Federal
judiciary have determined to release”
Francois, and, second, for not restoring
Francois to his full rights as a citizen.
Through his attorney Francois at once
rejected the pardon, and began a
suit against the Governor, on the
alleged ground that the Governor en
tered into a conspiracy to de
prive him of citizenship. In this
suit the Governor is under arrest, and it
will soon be kuown, perhaps, why he is
sued such a remarkable pardon. If Fran
cois was illegally convicted, of course the
State of Texas does not want to do him
any further injury than it has already
done him; hut if he was legally convicted,
it is not easy to see why the Governor al
lowed himself to be bulldozed into grant
ing him a partial pardon. It looks very
much as if the Governor thought that
Francois was illegally imprisoned. If
that was his opinion, he ought to have
granted him a full pardon. The law ques
tion involved is whether the ante bellum
statute against miscegenation was valid
after the adoption of the fourteenth
amendment to the Federal constitution.
CI’URFAT COMMENT.
No Merit but Brevity.
Xew York Sun (Butler.).
• Gov. Cleveland has written his letter of ac
ceptance. and we print it elsewhere. It has
the merit of comparative brevity, but no
other that we can discern.
Will Strengthen Cleveland.
Sew York World (Dem.).
These are the words of a manly, straight
forward. Democratic citizen. The letter is
one free from sophistry, demagogism and
groveling appeals to voters, ami it is a docu
ment that will greatly strengthen the position
of the Democratic standard-bearer.
Cleveland's Statesmanship.
Baltimore Sun (Pern.)
The character of the man and his concep
tion of his relation to the office of President
is fully expressed in this one sentence, with
which, referring to the people, he closes his
letter: “The statesmanship they require con
sists in honesty and frugality, a prompt re
sponse to the ne'eds of the people as they arise,
and the vigilant protection of all their varied
interests.”
What the Enemy Says.
Philadelphia Press (Pep.).
Lacking at all points, explicit in none, with
out principle or jKdicv. the letter of accept
ance presented by Grover < leveland must
rai-e the strong suspicion that his narrow
view of Presidential duties springs from a
just measure of the man whom the Democratic
party has called to their discharge. Grover
( leveland was unknowu before. He is un
known still.
A Chance for Reform.
Xew York Times (Pep.).
Tlie countrv has not in twenty years had an
onporiunitv to vote directly ou the questions
of reform which Mr. Cleveland’s nomination,
presents. His letter of acceptance makes the
duty of those who desire practical reform
plainer than ever. It is a statement which
will bear the olosest examination, and on
which the Independents can go forward in
the canvass with confidence, not only in the
soundness of their cause, but in its signal
triumph.
Will Strengthen Old and Win New
Friends.
Philadelphia Record (In>l.).
Gov. Cleveland’s letter of acceptance is cal
culated to strengthen the reeard of his old
friends and win him new ones. It is refresh
ing, after the unnatural tameness of Blaine,
the uncertain argument of Logan and the
garru’ous egotism of Butler, to read the de
liverances of a candidate for a great office
who makes no effort to dazzle his readers with
(lights of rhetoric or confuse them with
Machiavclian logic. Gov. Cleveland has
something to say. and he says it clearly and
pointedly.

Xearlt forty-years ago, when the Queen
was staying at AVdverikie, Sir John Rams

Majesty planted a spruce on one of the islands
in Loch Laggan. The tree grew and flour

decay mysteriously, and in course of time it
died. A careful inspection by the forester
has revealed the fact that it was killed by
tourists. The tree had been literally “whit

AT the annual cattle fair held in the
Croatian village of Bokuko a terrible disaster
took place under very extraordinary circum

gone mad suddenly commenced, in a savage
fashion, biting all the persons and cattle it
approached. Some of the oxen broke loose
from their fastenings and began rushing
through the crowd. A panic ensued, in the
course ol which many persons were trodden
under foot, and no fewer than six men and
one woman trampled to death, while numer
ous other persons had broken limbs, or other
more or less severe injuries. In the rush of
the animals twenty-nine oxen were a.so
crushed to death. The pig which was the
canae of the disaster was at last caught and
killed.
What is believed to bo an unpublished epi
taph written by Roliert Burns was found re
cently at I/>chmaben, in Dumfriesshire, on
the fly leaf of an old volume. At a dinner
party one of the guests named Dixon, who
was’lainlof Eleieshields. had accidentally or
otherwise caused the poet great offense. 'On
the following day he wrote these lines:
“Here lies the laird o’ Elsie-shield*,
Wha’s left Loehmaben’s bonnie fields.
And a’ her bonnie lochs and eels.
And gane to dwell amang the diels.
How ne fends and how he fares
There's few kens and as few cares.”
M. Georges Marie, engineer of the Paris
aud Lyons Railway, says: “I here is a general
impression that locomotives consume as much
as from four and one-half to five and one-half
pounds of fuel per horse-power per hour.”
But his experiments show an average con
sumption in good locomotives of 3.35 pounds,
when the horse-power is measured by the
work done at the circumference of the driving
wheels, and of 4.91 pounds when it is meas
ured bv the indicator diagrams, the fuel being
of good quality and the firing done with care.
Comparing this with marine engine consump
tion of two pounds per indicated horse
power, it seems that locomotives are much
more economical than is usually supposed,
considering that they work non-condensing,
while marine engines enjoy the great advan
tage of condensation.
A remarkable accident occurred to Mr.
Douglass M. Irish, a resident of No. 49 Colonie
street, Albany, X. Y., about 10:30 o’clock
Wednesday night. He is employed as a fire
man on the Central Railroad, and as he sat
asleep by an open window he dreamed that
he heard a shrill whistle of danger from a
locomotive, which was blowing for a signal to
cross the upper bridge. Instantly, without
awakening, he leaped forward through the
window, dreaming that it was his own engine
and that he was to reverse its motion. He
landed aliout 10 feet below upon the sidewalk,
at the very edge of an embankment 10 feet
high, "everal persons who resided down
stairs were sitting upon the piazza near by
and saw tlie man fall. When they reached
him he was unable to rise. He sustained seri

Last Friday afternoon Mrs. William Ken
nedy, who lives on Fourth street, San Jose,
Cal., missed her four-year-old sou Carl, and
in a state of great auxiety made search for
him up and down the various streets in that
vicinity, when she was attracted by seeing
some jieople running wildiy about on'the cor
ner of Fourth and St. James streets, and upon
approaching tlie dwelling of Dave Williams,
nearly fainted with terror when she saw the
frightened people pointing with their fingers
to her little son. who was hanging to a ladder
on the windmill tank 70 or 80 feet from the
ground. One little hand grasped the ladder,
and with the other one he was reaching out
for some pigeons that were sitting almost
within his reach. The mother realized the
awful peril of her little son. but with a hero
ism seldom seen she called to the child in a
firm voice, saying. “Come down, Carl, and
mamma will give you a peach.” The little
fellow looked cautiously around over his shoul
der, and, seeing his mother, started to de
scend. while the group stood with faces up
turned blanched with terror for fear he would
lose his hold and be dashed to pieces; but he
came safely down, and as he approached the
last rounds of the ladder he said, "I am com
ing, mamma,” and the overjoyed mother
caught her child in her arms.

A RICH MAN’S CIA7.Y SON.
Confined and Treated Like a Beast In
His Father’s House.
The Times, of Philadelphia, Aug. 19,
prints the story of the latest insanity hor
ror which the rural districts of Pensylva
nia has yielded up. The story corns from
the aristocratic suburb of Chestnut Hill.
The victim is George Streeper, who has
been crazy for 15 years and who was con
fined by economy three years in the house
of his father, Charles Streeper, a man
worth $55,000, living one-quarter of a mile
out of Chestnut Hill, on the Flour
town road. In the year 1869 George
Streeper was a boy of* 18 living in his
father’s house. It was iu that year that
he went harmlessly crazy. The* few peo
ple living about “the wheel pump” inn,
the centre of the settlement, and who re
member him at that time, say that the
cause of his insanity was love. He was
infatuated with Mary Potts, of Chestnut
Hill. His father opposed his suit, forbade
the boy’s attention to the girl, dogged him
about the country from place to place
when he thought that his son sought a
meeting with his sweetheart, and cursed
him roundly whenever he thought his
mind or his footsteps were bent in her di
rection.
It is the sound of the father’s curses to
day, when he hears them (which is not
seldom), that excites the boy, now a
middle-aged man, from melancholia into
mania. Years went on, the father, con
tent in having mastered the son’s inclina
tions, kept on with money getting. The
boy grew more and more “the village
idiot.” He ran away, but the father
followed him to Newtown, Delaware
county, ard brought him back. Things
went on much tlie same way as before for
another five years. The only sign of an
ever growing impairment of the son’s
mind was his increasing irritability
when the father swore. It was in the
harvest time of 1881 that the son leaped
at the old man after he had delivered
an unusually heavily-charged volley of
abuse in the corn field behind the
house in which he lived—one of the
dozen houses which Charles Streeper
owns. The father had the corn cutter in
his hand. ‘ “If be hadn’t had it,” said an
eye-witness yesterday, “there would have
been another acquittal in a murder case
on the ground of insanity.” As it wa9,
the “boy,” then grown through years of
mental darkness to a man of 30, snatched
a bundle of cornstalks and thrashed his
father like a sheaf of grain. It was the
last free exercise of his muscles. Save
for his father, mother and little brother,
the barber who was brought in to shave
him, and Robert Gordon, host of the
“wheel pump,” who was called in to coax
him down stairs to let that barber shave
him, no mortal eyes have since seen his
face.
The buried man has two rooms. One is
a garret with a tin roof. It has no stove
In winter, and it gathers all the heat that
the cool villas of Chestnut Hill escape in
the summer. The other apartment is a
little room over the kitchen. Geo. Stree
per has gone naked in the little room
above the kitchen during the broiling
heats of the Julys and Augusts which he
has spent there. His vacations are passed
in the garret. The reason why he ha 9 the
garret for a change is that on account of
his not being allowed out of doors the
room over the kitchen gets into
such a condition after a few days
that he has to be moved out of
it until it is cleaned. Then he is put
in the room over the kitchen until the
garret is cleaned. So it has gone on for
three years. The man’s insanity grew
deeper, but it kept its melancholia form
save when the father’s harsh voice was
heard in the household beneath. Then
the lost one would shriek and betft him
self against the walls of his prison. At
night his cries have frequently aroused
the households of the hill and valley.
Until two weeks ago the neighbors, be
yond protesting to Charles Streeper, did
not interfere with this treatment of his
son. The reason was this: The mother
of the lunatic still inhabited his prison
house. It was she who fed and washed
and dressed him, and everybody knew
that his care was ail that could be had
in the miserable inadequacy of the sur
roundings. But the woman had grown
fearful of her life, it is said. She left her
home and went to her lather’s house, a
mile further toward Flourtown, on the
same pleasant road. No one was left in
the pitch-roofed farm house but the
lunatic, his strange father, and a boy of 9
years of age, who tried his best to carry
on the gruesome duties which his mother
had before performed. Fearing the out
come the neighbors of the Streeper family
consulted. Asa result the Lunacy Com
mission will to-morrow be informed by
letter of the state of affairs.
WHAT SAVED HA ZEN.
The Movement Begun a Year Ago to
Get Rid of an Incompetent Official.
It has for some time been obvious, says
a Washington special, that some un
known influence protected Gen. Hazen in
his position as Chief Signal Officer. More
than a year ago Secretary Lincoln had de
termined to get rid of him, on the ground
of proven incapacity—a ground which
the country had come to recognize.
Hazen was placed in a position almost
precisely similar to the one which fur
nished the basis of the prosecution of
Gen. Swaitn, to wit; failure to a9k
for a court of inquiry or an inves
tigation by a military tribunal. It
is that President Arthur, as
he did subsequently in Swaim’s case, was
about to order such an inquiry, which
would be the first step leading uptoHa
zen’s trial and possibly his dismissal, hut
the President suddenly drew back and
Hazen has been safe ever since. This is
explained by recalling the fact'.that Ilazen
is the son-in-law ol Mr. Washington Mc-
Lean, who is the power behind the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, a paper of which Mc-
Lean’s son is the audacious proprietor.
It is not necessary to particularize how
McLean called a halt on Arthur and thus
secured for Hazen, the son-in-law. the
exemption he has since enjoyed from the
danger, which was so imminent, of being
deprived of his present soft place, if not
of his rank in the army.
Despite the fact that Hazen deserves to
be sent to his regiment and the Signal
Service placed in competent hands, he
will not be molested so long as Arthur
can protect him. The present atmosphere
of scandal recalls the subject and the
character of the reasons which, it is al
leged, protect Hazen from all the accu
mulated reasons for his removal.
MAUD N.
Why Mr. Vanderbilt Sold the Mare.
In an interview with Mr. Vanderbilt to
day, says a Saratoga special of Aug 19,
the recent owner of the fastest trotter on
earth admitted that the sale was bona
fide, and added that the price paid was
not half what he might have obtained for
her if he had let it be known that he would
part with her ownership and then waited
for oilers. It seems that Mr. Bonner has
been anxious to obtain the trotting queen
for some time, but it is only recently that
Mr. Vanderbilt would entertain the idea
of selling her. He says he was perfectly
satisfied with her in every way, with her
disposition and steadiness as well as her
marvelous speed, but recently he had
been greatly annoyed by challenges and
applications irom assocyrtftgis for Maud
Si to trot. he, “I
have received at 100 let
ters on these since
Maud S. last lowered and she
was becoming in that way as great a bur
den as all the rest of my estate. 1 had
too many interests demanding my time
and attention to go into the trotting busi
ness, and I saw that a sale was the only
way of escape.” Mr. Vanderbilt further
said that he preferred to drive a double
team, and, although Maud S. worked well
with a mate beside her, the team could go
no faster than the slowest one of the pair,
and he had several other horses who per
fectly suited him for his own driving and
which can outstrip with anything like
equal weight of wagon and driver any
team that has yet appeared. The sum of
tae conversation seemed to indicate that
the great capitalist kept horses only for
his own pleasure, and the annoyances of
the importunities and solicitations to
match Maud 8. against time or horses
had become greater than the enjoyment
of driving her. Hence the sale.
MOBBING THE MORMONS.
Another Elder Killed In Tennessee—
Causes That Led to tlie Outbreak.
Gov. Bate returned to-day from the seat
of the Mormon trouble in Lewis and Hick
man counties, says a Nashville special of
Aug. 18. Some people deeply regret the
aftair, while others are open in their in
dorsement of the mob’s action. Several
women have been lured away and fami
lies broken up until the community had
become aroused against the elders.
The leader of the mob, David Hinson,
was a noted Confederate guerrilla during
the war. He was one of those who bad
suffered from the Mormon proselyterff. It
is supposed the original intention of the
mob was to whip the elders and run them
out of the country, but they became wild
when fired upon by one of the Mormons.
It has been since learned that the dead
body of the Mormon named Joseph Lane
was also found In the woods riddled with
bullets. Advices from East Tennessee re
port the shooting there of another Mor
mon elder. The act was committed by a
negro, who, it was rumored, was hired
for the purpose.
