SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1887. 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 received a severe wound in the head, and was knocked doWn with the pistol. Corn ish was captured and taken to Spring field, the county sett. Saturday night a mob, composed of seventy-five men, c it ire 1 tiie jail and secured the prisoner. He wa taken to a farm about two miles north of town and hanged. 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.

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. 1 QUARANTINE AGAINST IEI.INOIS.
