A QUEER STORY,
RESURRECTION OF BRIGHAM
YOUNG.
A Queer Story Told by tlie Housekeeper of a
Wealthy Euslisli Mormon—Much Ex
citement Xmongtlie Mormons.
Two miles south of Lincoln, Nebraska,
stands a palatial residence owned by an
English gentleman long identified with
the Mormon church. The residence has
been unattended lor the last two years,
save by an old servant named White,who
was connected with the Jezrels, of Lon
don. a sect similar to the Mormons.
White claims that he was defrauded by
them out of his property, and latterly be
came converted to the Mormon faith.
He was considered a trustworthy man,
and was, therefore, partially through ue
j cessity, taken into the confidence of the
! leaders of the Mormon church of Zion,
which, according to his statement, is
about to perpetrate a fraud to which he
is unwilling to become a party.
He says: “Two months ago there ar
rived at the mansion an old gentleman,
bearing letters from my master in Lon
don, the purport of which was to obey
his every wish, and to keep his presence
a secret to all except those to whom lie
saw fi tto reveal himself. Within a week
person s began to arrive at the house in
twos and threes. They were from Salt
Lake City, and held long, whispered
consultations with my mysterious guest.
At first I did not care who or what he
was. Little by little I gathered from
stray remarks that he was a person of
note, and soon after the truth burst upon
me that he was none other than Brigham
Young, the great prophet of our church,
who is apparently to be resurrected from
the dead, and preach to the people of
Zion as one having returned from the
grave to tell what lies beyond. That bis
death and burial were a deception will
soon be seen by the whole world, while
thousands of his ignorant believers bow
at his feet, and he dictate to them their
ways of life.’
My guests, the visitors, are men of
high standing, as their appearance indi
cates, and it was in conversation with
one of them, who supposed from the way
1 talked that I knew all, that my sus
picions were verified. My informant
said that Brigham Young had risen from
his grave in Salt Lake City, and was in
structing his disciples here, in order to
prepare help for the great event of his
coming. My only reason for telling
these facts is that I am an old man with
but little to gain in this world, and do
not want to see the people deluded as I
have been. The Jezrels absorbed my
competence and now the Mormons have
broken my faith.”
IDENTIFIED AS BRIGHAM YOUNG.
The old man told tire story with sin
cerity that warranter! further investiga
tion, and a merchant who formerly did
business in Salt Lake City drove out to
the mansion, and rapped at the door.
Receiving no response he started around
the house to apply at the rear, when
through the long window he saw the
form and features of the old man, who
was sitting inside. As he was unaware
of his presence, the merchant approached
lo within a few feet yf the window,
scanning the old man’s face closely, and
stepped back immediately, pronounced
the man to be Brigham Young, whose
marked features he had often studied in
Salt Lake City, and which once seen, he
says, can never be forgotten. For a few
moments the man sat silently, and then
raised his hand to his brow, revealing the
scar about the wrist that still further es
tablish d his identity.
It, is a well known flict that the elders
of the Mormon chinch throughout Utah
have of late been preaching the return of
the prophet. This, together with the
fact that it was claimed by a St. Louis
man some mouths ago, that Young was
seen and recognized in London, that a
number of prominent Mormons from Salt
Lake City have lately been upon the
streets of Lincoln; that important legis
lation is about to be enacted to the detri
ment of the Mormon church, and the veil
of mystery with which the prophet’s
death has always been shrouded, makes
it almost certain that the Mormon ban
ners throughout Utah will soon be un
furled, announcing that “he is risen.”
taken out and hanged.
Last Monday William Lud Cornish, of
Sharpsburg, Washington county, Ky,shot
Miss Lulu Green through the heart and
brain because she would not marry him.
IL- also tried to kill the girl’s mother
and sister, but failed on account of his
pistol getting out of order. The mother

INNOCENT BOYS IMPRISONED.
" hipped Until Willinc to Say Auything,
They Confess to a Crime.
Three years ago, next -May, Mahlon
McCullough and William Puetz, two
boys connected with some of the leading
j families of Bayview, were sent to state
prison for three years, upon conviction
of having shot and robbed August
Grothe, a street car <1 river. 'Today
Father Decker, pastor of St Anthony's
church, announces that the boys are in
nocent, and that the guilty man has
1 made himself known to him through the
confessional. He refuses, however, to
divulge the name of the latter; but has
' asked (governor Rusk to pardon Puetz
and McCullough.
The assault on Grothe was made one
dark night in the suburbs of Milwaukee
in true highwayman style. Grothe re
fused to surrender his change box and
was shot, it is supposed, fatally. At.
j sight of the bleeding body Mis. Grothe
; became a raving maniac and is now con
fined in an asylum. At the trial, a de
tective testified that the boys confessed
their part in the act and robbery. Puetz
| and McCullough say that the confession
I was forced from them; that for ten days
| they were beaten, starved, bung up by
i the thumbs and otherwiseill treated, and
! that they confessed to escape starvation,
i Twenty witnesses testified to an alibi,
I but they were convicted. McCullough
| is said to be dying of consumption.
GOVERNOR LEE BANQUETTED.
He Reeponda to u Tons! to the “New South’ »
at St. Paul, Minn.
Over one hundred guests sat down to a
reception and banquet given by the Mag
nolia and Opossum Clubs in honor of
General Fitz Hugh Lee, of Virginia, and j
party, 'Tuesday night. Senator C. K. j
Davis and Governor McGill were among
the guests. Judge Flandreau made the
: welcoming address, recalling early recol- j
| lections of ’possumhunting amid the hills '
of Fairfax county, and paying a warm
j tribute to Virginia, the “land of brave
men and fair women.”
Responding to the toast “The New
’ Northwest,” E. V. Smalley thought that
i all that remained of the great struggle
i was the memory of the courage and ideal
: devotion to duty it called forth. His
j toast to the descendant of “Light Horse
i Harry” was drank standing with many
1 hearty cheers.
General Johnson recalled some amusing !
reminiscences of Gen. Lee’s early adven
tures in lighting Indians in Texas, and
called upon General Lee himself to re- ■
spond to the toast “The New South.”
General Lee declared meetings of this j
sort would do a great deal of good. If
we had known each other better before
the war, that struggle might have been
averted.
THE ENGLISH PRESS.
They Discuss the Actiou of the United States
.‘Senate-Will There be War ?
The London Post, in an article on the I
passage of the fisheries bill in the United |
States senate, says:
We are sure that Mr. Ingall’s outspoken bit- ;
ternesH against England does not represent the :
feeling of either the American senate or peo
ple. On the other hand it would be foolish to !
shut our eyes to the inipo dance of the question I
involved,
The Chronicle thinks the fact that Mr. ;
Ingall’s splenitic outburst neither sur- ,
prised nor shocked the more respectable |
senators is a far more serious matter than
the dispute itself, and hopes that the
Washington authorities will early dis
claim any community of feeling wilh
Ingalls. The “Daily News” says:
Today’s telegrams from New York, Montreal '
and Ottawa are of a very reassuring character. |
Nobody here regarded the violent speeches of '
Senators Ingalls, Hale and Frye seriously. '
Ev. n dignified American senators at e not above
playing to the gallery. It is much to be hoped
i! at. no s’rp • will be tak'n to exasperate the
quarrel; :n I that the g<od sruseof Canada
wdl Insist up >n a policy of peace.
The Standard says:
President Cleveland will piobably have the
good sense to veto the measure, or agree to it :
merely in form, as a prelude to amicable nego
tiations. We protest against the idea of either i
England or Canada being coerced into yiel ling
a jo’, or tittle of their lights by such empty
threats. We have none of the ult rior motives I
assigned by Messrs. Ingalls Frye an 1 Hale, I
but Americans, by demanding such terms as
those ndicated, ask more than jus ice. Ihe ,
dispute, however, ought n>t to be bejond the
power of diplomacy.
The Effects of Mental Exhnustlsn.
Many diseases, especially those of the ner

destructive to train and"nerve tissue. Itisone

A DARING BURGLARY.
A Kallrond Agent Compelled to l.'ufock htO
Nufo nt Kiclunond Texae.
Between j>ne and two o’clock Monday
morning, three masked men entered the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad de
pot, at Richmond, Texas, and under'
cover of a pistol compelled a watchman,
named Gregory, to open the doors lead
ing to inner offices. They then attemp
ted to drill through the safe in the sta
tion agent’s office. After drilling for
some time, the men became impatient ami
two’of them went, to the residenceof Sta
tion Agent Hagen and roused him out of
bed, telling him the freight house wasott
fire. As the agent came out of the lions®
they seized him and forced him at the
muzzle of a revolver to accompany them
to the depot, where, under threats to
take his life if he refused. Hagen opened
the safe. 'The robbers then secured sl,-
400 in money. After rifling the safe they
ordered Hagen and Gregory to remain
quietly in the room at the peril of their
lives. When Agent Hagen finally looked
out the men had fled. It is not known
whether they left on horseback or
foot. There is no clue to their identity.
