AN ANTI-PROHIBITION INJUNCTION.
Judge MeCav, United States DU rict
Judge, at a late hour last night issued a
restraining order against the declaration
of the recent prohibition election in At
lanta.
The injunction was granted in answer
to Paul Jones, as an importer ot wines
and liquors, and Cincinnati stockholders
in the Atlanta Brewery. The Paul Jones
cas*- seems to rest on a decision of United
States Chief Justice Taney, which de
clares that the right to import wine car
ries with it the right to sell it, end no
State could nullify the Federal laws as to
importation. The case of the Cincinnati
stockholders in the brewery is that t de

hands and under the managent of the
leading Prohibitionists of the city, a large
number of anti-prohibitioni-ts who have
everything that they have in the
world invested in Atlanta, will join in
the ci usade again-t liquor. The object of
this movement is ba-ed upon the belief
that Macon, Savannah, Augusta, and
possibly Columbus will defeat prohibi

terests will be injured in that way, these
cities doing the jobbing trade in liquor

A Critical Situation at the Bevler Mines
in Missouri.
St. Louis, Mo., Dec. I.—For some time
past there has been quite a disturbed
condition of things at the P. vier coal
mines, about five miles from Macon, Mo.
The miners struck for higher wages dur
ing the summer and the operators im
ported a lot of negroes to work, and built
a stockade for tbeir protection. This
created bad feeling and several little out
bursts occurred. Last Saturday a col
lision occurred aud one white and one
negro were killed. One man was killed
last night, and the situation was consid
ered so critical to-day that Gov. Manna
iuke went to the scene. After looking over

Several were wounded. There is no
abatement of the feeling, and there is
constant liability of bloodshed. The
county authorities have done nothing to
wards suppressing the riotous proceed
ings.
NO MILITARY ON HAND.
No military have arrived. The women
aDd children are being sent away from
Brevier. Troutile is toured to-night. A

MONTEREY’S REVOLUTION.
The Governor and His Guard Com
pelled to Take to Flight.
Monterey, Met.. Dec. I.—The situa
tion between the revolutionist and gov
ernment party is growing more compli
cated. Fears are entertained that if the
National government does not speedily
send aid to the civil authorities under the
acting government, the revolution will
assume such proportions that all North
ern Mexico will ultimately be drawn imo
it. Last Sunday night Acting Governor
Zopulveda, with a guard of
100 men, while returning to
this city from Villa Garcia was
attacked in the suburbs by 600 revolu
tionists. The guards became panic
stricken at the odds against them, and
about half tbeir number deserted, fleeing
into the mountains. The remainder stood
their ground for a short time and then
kept up a running tight, but were
finally routed, retreating southward for
the State line of Nuevo Leon and
Coßhuila. The revolutionists lust five
killed and ten wounded iu the fight. The
Guards lost tuit two men. The Governor
and such of bis followers as did not desert
made their escape to (,'oahuila. where
they now await orders from the F. deral
government. Tnis State is row practi
cally without a Governor, and all busi
iness connect'd with the State Executive
is at a standstill. The revolutionists have
gained a decided victory, and the move
ment is becoming more popular among
the people.
CHEROKEE Gli ZING RENTALS.
The Full-Blooded Redskin* Ahead in
the Legislative Fight.
New Orleans, Dec. L—An Indian
Territory special says: “The bill au
thorizing the distribution of $300,000, re
ceived from the lease of the grazing lands
of the Territory to the cattle syndicate,
among the Cherokee# per capita, is now
before the lower House. The bill at
tracts general attention throughout the
Territory. The Delaware and Shawnee
Indians, and white and negro citizens
claim that the money should be equally
awarded among all resident citizens of
the nation. The bill, however, provides
for the distribution oi the money among
the Cherokees only. An amendment mak
ing the division general was voted down
In the Senate by 11 to 7. The original bill
was passed by a similar vote. The ques
tion arouses intense feeling, causing other
citizens to array themselves against the full
blooded Ch rokees. It is believed that the
original bill will pass the lower House by
a small majority. The friends of general
distribution appear to have the law upon
their side, as well as treaty precedents,
and will, it is claimed, appeal to Congress
for adjudication of the matter it a satis
factory settlement cannot be had through
the Cherokee Legislature.

afflicted at the fratricidal war between

that the determination, sell-abnegation,
perseverance and love of order displayed
by the Bulgarian-Roumelian troops during
the conflict are worthy ot high praise.
Mindful of the judicious, self sacrificing
Russian officers who imparted to the

from the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The road between Bredelar and Mars
berg, two smalt towns in Prussia, on the
frontier of the little State of Waldeck,
was the scene of the most horrible crime
committed for long years in a civilized
country. On tbe morning of Oct. 16 some
travelers were horrified by a sight they
will never forget. The road, a narrow
thoroughfare, bordered by meadows and
fields, bore the aspect of a battlefield, but
one wild and ferocious nation might have
fought—people to whom a civilization was
utterly unknown. From a 1 ttle forest
two mi'es below Bredelar up to the town
limits of this place the road was covered
with men, women and children horribly
butchered and mutilated, some of them
dead, some living yet, groaning with in
tense pain. From ten to twenty paces
they were found lying on the road and
every one treated the same way. The ab
domen was cut open with a sharp instru
ment and then the6kull knocked in. The
sight was such a frightful one that even
the oldest police officers and phvsicians,
who were summoned ns soon as the fact
was known, shuddered and declared em
phatically that in all their li'etime they
bad never witnessed a sight like that.
Imagine thirty-four persons lying
strewn along ajroad, their abdomens’ cut
open, their intestines hanging out and
covering tbe ground, blood flowing in
streams, intermingled with the brains of
some of tbe victims. The faces of those
who were dead showed the terrible agony
they had to undergo belore deatn came as
salvation. The sight was terrible. They
were dispersed on the road with a regu
larity showing that tbe butchery was
done systematically and as tbe injuries
were a 1 the same with all tbe victims it
was cl ar that the same people must
have butchered one by one as they passed
by.
There was a cattle fair the day before
the bodies were found iu Marsberg, a lit
tle town about ten miles from Bredelar,
and the peasants of the surrounding vil
lages had driven there cattle and sheen
there to sell them il possible. Returning
home, they were overpowered by two
scoundrels, who both had served terms in
the penitentiary, and one by one they
were butchered as described. The deed
was done with a plow-share and so quick
that the victims had no time to utter aery
which might have warned those who fol
lowed them. One by one they were
knocked insensible by a terrible blow on
the head and then the abdomen cut open
with the sharpened blade of the plow
share.
They did not spare anybody. Old and
young men, women and children fell un
der their blows and met their horrible fate
without a murmur. Some of the bodies
were fearfully mangled. The heads of
some of them were so crushed that identi
fication was only possible by their cloth
ing. Some of them had their limbs
broken, probably in resisting the murder
ers, w’ho were the most cruel wretches
the history of crime knows. The physi
cians found fifteen of the injured yet liv
ing, but in an almost hopeless condition,
and sent them to Bredelar to the hospital.
Seventeen were found dead.
But those tbirty-two were not all. Af
ter the news of the horrible deed had been
spread around the country two shepherds
appeared, who were also attacked by the
scoundrels, but who fortunately escaped
badly injured, and leaving their flock of
sheep behind them. They say that other
people besides could be found in the vil
lages who are suffering from their inju
ries yet, but were able to go home after
tbe scoundrels thought they were dead.
I The two shepherds identified two
I tramps who afterward were arres’ed.
| known as desperate fellows, who would
ibe able to commit any crime. Tbecrime
seems to have been prompted only by a
love of blood. They made no efforts to
rob, as tbe cattle of the victims were
found afterwards dispersed on the mea
dows and fields, and their valuables were
not taken from them, but it was a morbid
desire tor bloodshed, and nothing else.
Most of the victims hailed lrom the
villages of Rhenegge, Sudeck, Hering
j hausen, Stormbrucn and Attlar—all sit
uated in W aldeck.
