CHAPTER VHI-Cont nued
The blow that l a .do Grey receive 1 was a
stunning ono, and it required scveinl min
utes for bim to recover his senses; the mo
ment h ■ did oh • epiun to the open win
dow and glared out into the street Unit waa
fast bring shoclovved in the gloom of ap
proaching night.
Men were Been moving hither and thither,
but the form of his assaulter was not to bo
Been. Wullis Wager had ©soaped.
Of course som thing of a commotion was
created among the miners and loafers in
the card-room.
Eagle Grey w*b the coolest one in the
room. Ho realiz and that the young man
who had delivered such n qu ek, sharp blow
had made go>d his escape, and that for the
present it would be us less, nottosav fool
ish. to follow. Ho n.i lit bo the head of a
gang of outlaws who wou and delight to lead
the deto t ve into n trap.
“Wtt , nard, you got a good one that
time, said one of the loungers, with a grin
on his homdy face that served to aggravate
the detective not a little.
“ Who did it?”
“Wbv didn’t ye slug him?”
Various were the remarks nnd sugges
tions made by those who seemed suddenly
to take n deep interest in the interesting af
fair that had just taken plac .
b.iuv a strang r iu the place Eagle Grey
did i ot deem it best to Live Lis confidence
to any of these men. who, he readily con
ceived, might be in league with his as
saulter.
Secreting bis pistol, the detective left the
room as booh as he could conveniently ex
tricate himse f. and went to the clerk's
desk, where he mi le inquiries regarding
Wallis Wager.
“No such man stops here.”
“Do you know him?”
“Never heard of the ehap till you men*
tioued his name, friend. ”
This was sufficient.
Eagle Grey went up to his room, to which
he was shown by a lad in the employ of the
house. Th • room was small and dingy, but \
it was good enough for the detective’s pur
pose. He had not come to the silver hills
expecting to live in clover.
He paced his room after the boy’s de
parture with an angry disgust manifest on
his face.
‘'Fool, fool!”
This seemed to be the import of his mut
terings for some time.
The loss ol his grip tronoiwu mm deep
ly. He now believed that Wallis Wager
was at the bottom of the theft, and that he
was a member of the gang which counted
Burden Bruno among its members.
“I have two rneu to limit instead of one,”
he muttered. “I will make it a point to
secure the assassin of Samuel Fredou first.
I am known ns a deb. ct ve now, and must
don a disguise. Ah! Wallis Wager, you’ve
tackled a bigger tigr than you imagine.
I’ll hunt you to your doom if it costs me
my life. I swear it, aud Engle Grey never
utters a meaningless oath."
Tap—tap—tap.
“Come in,” cried the detective.
It proved to be the office boy, who held
in his hand a letter.
“The gent said I was to give it to you at
once. "
The moment Grey accepted the letter,
the boy darted away. Tearing open the
envelope the dotective was soon in posses
sion of its contents.
Mb. Thompson: 1 take it upon myself to ask
you to call at my house this evening. A poor
young man from York State is sick (homesick,
I believe,) at mv house, and the face of rd
Eastern man Would do him good. Something
must be done or the poor feLow will die. The
young gentleman’s name u Porter, and he
came from Yonkers, where he knew a nun by
the name of Jerry Thompson, and ho thought
perhaps you might have heard of the gentle
may, too. I learned that you came on to
night’s sta. r e from a friend who saw your name
on the Silver Mine register. Pegg.ngyour par
don for trespassing oa'voiir go >d nature,
which ia done only to picas the whim of a sick
maD, I sign myself, yours io command,
Uev. Eli Sctoeb.
It was a most singular epistle, indeed. Of
course the suspicious nature of the detect
ive did not swallow the letter wholly. It
might, however, be genuine. No place of
residence was given. Perhaps the resi
dence of Reverend Sinker was so well
known bo had forgotten to mention it in
the letter.
After due consideration, Grey went be
low. Supper being ready, he partook of
this ere making inquiries regarding the
author of his singular letter.
“Eli Sinker, siid the clerk when ques
tioned. “I know only one man by that
name in Silver sand, and that’s the Baptist
preacher who lives over on Joy Creek, half
a mile from here. ”
Grey had purposely made no mention of
the man’s calling.
“He is a minister then. What is his
standing in society?”
“Well,” and the clerk laughed, “he is like
all preachers, wears a long face and exhorts
all the people to flee from the wrath to
come. I suppose he is a good man as the
world goes.”
“Any one sick at his house?”
‘‘l don't know that. "
“I do though, ’ said a voice, and a tall
man, with the air of a gentleman who had
seen better days, stepped to the side of the
detective. “There’s a young fellow sick at
the preacher’s, and likely to die.”
“His name?”
“I never heard it.”
“Do you know where he is from?”
“The preacher?"
“No, the sick young man. "
“From York State, I heard someone
■av.”
Eagle Grey walked from the desk aud
stood for some moments in a thoughtful
attitude. He was debating seriously about
answering the letter in nerson.
He had known a family of Porter’s in
Yonkers, and one of the sons had gone
West. Was it not natural that this sick
man should be the one? Not a soul in
Hilversaud knew that Engle Grey was in
the western “city," and it would be impos
sible for this preacher to have learned his
name from any source save from that stated
in the letter.
“I will call at the parsonage,” said De
tective Grey to himself; after duo delibera
tion. “I don’t propose to leave a poor
homesick boy in the lurch if I know my
self. If one of the Porters is here in Sil
versaud, he may give me information that
will prove of vast importance in my h mt
for two of llie vilest criminals in the West.”
Thus reasoning, the wily detective in.
juired the wav to Rev. Eli Sinker's resi
dence. aud early in the evening set out to
visit the place.
The night was dark, save for innumera
ble stars that studded the heiv n.--.
The parson’s teß ; dencc stood just outside
the mountain city, ou the banks of a rush
ing mountain stream. Grey gained the
bridge span ing the stream. Ho paused o
moment to look at the rushing waters be
low.
While gazing thus a step struck the
bridge.
Turning to look back Detective Grey saw
i dirk form spring a toss ( * bridge.
Quick as a Hash the detective drew hit
pistol. He w T as not quick enough, how* vr,
and a stunning blow sent him to the bridge
■anseless.
A stalwart fm-m bent and lifted the fallen
detective. For one instant he poised his
victim ere sending him to the rocky depths
Sixty feet below.
CHAPTER IX.
A REAVE GIRL'S FIJOHT.
Lucius Bwajne had come into iiossessior
of tho letter that Iva had received froir.
Walla Wager.
I The reading of that letter sent a cold
thill to his heart He was not long in
fciacing the missive in the hand of his
fcife, who, when she read it, paled and
fceuibleu
I “What in the world can it mea ?"
■ "It means that while this man calling
Mats elf Wallis Wager lives we are tread-
Ing on a volcano." answered the Inn*
kei or.
‘ Where can he have lent nod so much?"
■l ■ >in Qm OM "i iii wt {bill id t(M lay,
perhaps," return* and Kwayne. “I did at one
time imagine that he might bo that boy wbc
wan gone at the time wo secured Ivu; you
know that wo only havo the word of a pur
ehastble villain that Robert Ranger is dead."
“And you believe Wallis in Robert
hanger under un assumed nnmo". If so,
bu are undone, we aro undone. And the
woman stood with dunned hands looking
the very picture of despair.
"You remember it was a likeness to
Tbornrift that startled mi'?"
“ Yes. H
“Well, of course, it is nowise certain that
Rob Ranger would resemble his uncle, but
it was saul that old Tbornrift and his doau
i sister wore counterparts, audit might be
i that Robert would resemble his mother’s
brother; but of late I have come to another
conclusion."
“Well?"
“If thiß Wallis Wager is Ranger, he cer
tainly would h ivo no desire to rid the world
of Lis uuc on friend whom we buried to
day.
"Reasoning in this way I have arrived at
tho conclusion that Wallis Wager is s
clever young villain who, gaining the con- j
tide, ce of old Wandel, learned from him
the wbo’c story of tho past, aud that I\a is
an heiress, has plotted to win a fortune. ”
“Rut how about tbe resemblance?”
“A mer accident that will help the young
scalawag in his plans. He w.II bring Ivu
to believe as bo does, proceed to crush us
with the knowledge that ho gniued from ;
Wan lei. aud ”
“ Mercy—-don’t!”
“I am only drawing a picture of what will
happen unless we nip it in the bud."
"It must b* nipped then." answered
Mrs. Swayue, with a show of lirniness that
p eased tbe innkeeper.
“That’s like your old self,"cried Swayne.
“I shall look to you to help to carry out the
pin is I have formed since this letter came
into mv hand. ”
“What are they?”
“First, theseouring of Iva beyond chance
of escape. ’’
"Yes?"
“She and Jerry at once be united in
marriage that makes us safe bo far as th* 3
fortune is cone med. After that Wallis
Wager must be followed, captured, aid
hanged for the murder of Samuel Fre
don. That will i.o legitimate, since the
young scoundrel did perpetrate tho mur
der."
“Yes.”
“There waa a detective at the house to
day, and he look© 1 at the dead and heard
my story; he will b on the track of this
Wager, and between us all I think it will
be an easy matter to corral the fellow. "
"The little man who came on the stage
was a detective?”
“Yes.”
“What brought him to the Silver Hills?"
“I cannot tell you that. There’s enough
happening every day to draw man-trackers
to this country. We must secure Iva be
yond escape, and then I will turn ray face
toward Silversand, where the assassin is in
hiding.”
“This seems all right,” returned Susan
Swayne musingly; “but lamafraid we have
not seen the worst of our troubles. Iva
won’t agree to any arrangement such as you
have planned. She’s an obstinate girl and
will make trouble."
"I'll work her,” growl* and tho innke -per,
Like many others, however, those people
were counting chickens too soon.
It so happened that this worthy couple
had a listener, one who was likely to protit
by what she heard.
Iva had missed her letter, and was hurry
ing from her room to look for it when she
heard tho murmur of voices coming from
her auut’s room. Having hor suspicions
fully aroused, the girl did not hesitate to
listen at the door, and eagerly she drank in
the words uttered by the two plotters
words that revealed her aunt and uncle in
their true light, and caused her to feel
loathing where once she had tried to feel
respeot—love had ever b ea out of the
question.
“They have my letter, and they would
compel me to wed Sour Jerry. I will not
be a tool or plaything in their hands, ” mur
mured Iva, her cheeks tlushiug, her bosom
heaving with the excess of indignant emo
tion.
Ono moment she was ready to burst in
on the innkeeper and his wife and demand
the 1 tier, but second thought counseled
prudence, nnd the -irl did not risk ruining
all by such a course.
Instead, t-lie stole from the door and
passed oit into the sunshine. She passed
down toward a clump of trees that grew
but a little distance from Bog Tavern. Iu
the shadow of th” trees she found a seat.
*nd there counseled with her own heart as
to tho best method of procedure. She had
learned enough within the past four-and
twenty hours to satisfy her that the people
with whom she had passed all the remem
ber. and years of her existence were bad,
wicked persons, and perhapi in no way
related to her. Was it her duty, the:i, to
remain and suffer at the hands of these
people?
“Never!”
Iva uttered the one word aloud, and
started to her feet with clenched hands and
heaving bosom.
“Iva, why this emotion?”
The girl started as though stung b.y a ser
pent. A shadow had fallen athwart the nar
row strip of sunßhiuo at her feet, and she
turned to look into the face of Jerry
8 wayne.
Pa met his look with a scornful gleam of
the eye, and turned on her heel to depart.
His hand fell ou her shoulder, however, aud
detained her.
“Not yet, my pretty,” he growled in the
tone of an injured tiger; “I wish a little
talk ’long of you, mis 9.”
Iva sank under the touch of his hand,
and was once more seated. She did not
fear him. but her dislike was fast aasum*
ng tho form of hatred for the .so Ul u-oyed
fellow who called himself her cousin.
“Well?” she uttered, aud this was the
only comment she made, waiting with
drooping eyelids for the man to speak.
“1 want to talk to you on a most import
ant subject,” said Jerry, in as gentle a tone
ss be was capable of assuming.
He paused. As Iva said nothing bo
went ou.
“You know what dad's calkeriated on over
sense vou'u me was bov and gal together,
Iva?”
This was treading on forbidden ground,
ind Iva felt her heart beating rapidly, while
tier cheeks showed rising color. She
.'rushed down the angry sensation with an
effort, and forced herself to listen.
I’ve been thi kin’ it s about time you'n
me hitched teams, Iva, or, more properly
speaking, g*t married. What do you think
ibout it, pretty?"
“You know what I think about it, sir.”
"Eh?"
“I would sooner marry a Chinaman than
you, Jerry Swayne. Wo hive nothing in
• comriion, aud I nm yet a child. When I
marry, if I overdo, I hope to secure a m m ”
Now the aroused girl spoke in a manner
that was far from prudent. t-he had not
vot 1 arnod the art of self-control, in fact
sk had never attempted the learning, and
her blunt expression of h r thoughts
rouse;! the ire of the sour son of the
tavern-keeper.
"See here, 1 won’t stand no nonsense, no
fooling about this," he grated, with a flash
of wrath in his somber eyes. “Ive set my
i heart on makin’ you Mrs. Swayne, Jr., aud
i 1 me.m to do it, no matter what you say or
think. Dad alius said it, and he ”
“He is an old nuisance,” completed Iva,
angered at tin presumption of the man, at
the same time she came to her feet and
attempted to leave the spot. His baud de
tained her, however, and a sullen rage
blazed in his eyes as he growled at h r
with:
“You she cat! I’ll tame you before you’re
ten days older, or know’ the reason why.
Jerry Swayne was not a diplomat, and he
could no more hide his feelings than could
Iva The girl saw the evil in his nature
blazing in his eyes, and she was, in conse
quence, nil the more decided iu her dis
like.
“Release me, sir," Iva demauded, as the
thie < lingers of the iunkeeper’s son iw
beddt and themselves iu her arm.
“No, I wont,’’ and ho shook her furiously,
and emitted from between his grating teeth
un imprecation.
“Tnen I’ll make you.”
She bent her dark face, and, with the
! suddenness of lightning, set two rows of
pearly teeth deep into tho fleshy part of tho
mail’s thumb.
With a mad cry of pain Jerry jerked Irs
I hand away, the Mo >d starting from the
i wound and trickling down into ins pahn.
With a defiant cry Iva broke from the
{ spot, and sped with the swiftnos- of a
i frightened fawn from the woods.
| Jerry Swayne gazed after her with a hide
' ous expression of counteuxinco. He watched
her as she bounded swiftly up the Incline,
and, under different dr o urns tan res, oould
not havo but admired tho graceful move
ments of tho willowy figure. Now, how
ever, ho was beside himself with pant and
rage.
“Go, you little wretch!" he hissed, slink
. ing his b oding hand at the fleeing girl,
“i'll make you shed tears of blood for this;
I yes I irilir
The look that accompanied tho words
was blood eurddug,
< mo** more Iva made her way to her room;
lit re she at once wont to work packiug a
bundle of suitable clothing and a few
triukets tli it she oared to preserve,
The voice of h*r aunt caused her to h'de
her work, and then she went about h**r
household duties as though nothing hid
happened out of the ordinary run of ©veins.
The eaat-houud stage came and went,
aud night shadows once more whelmed tho
earth.
I will rule over toHilversund to-night,"
said the Innkeeper to bis wife late iu the
evening.
• What is this for?”
“1 wish to see how affairs look in that
quarter,” returned Swayne. “I will leave
y* u and Jerry to look after affairs here until
I return."
Susan Swayne made no comment, She
always obey© 1 her husband, and, like a
dutiful wife, believed that what he advisod
waa for the best always.
An astonishment was in store for tho inn -
keeper.
As lie stopped into tho road, lantern iu
hand, tho sound of hoofs in swift move
men fell H]>on his car. H held his lantern
aloof just as a milk-white horse swept down
the rood toward the west.
Tho glimpse of a face, the flirt of a dress,
and then horse and rider were lo<t iu the
distance.
For some piumonti Lucius Swayne stood
Stani g afier the horse and rider.
"My gracious! that animal looks ever bo
much like FJirt, the little white mare,”
ejaculated Swayne finally.
Thought of horse-thieves hastened his
steps to the stab e. Soon h * stood looking
Into Flirt's sta’.l.
His worst fears wore realized.
The white mare was gone!
Flirt, the little white mure, was the pride
jf tho Bog Tavern stable.
At once the innkeeper rushed back to
Ihe house to communicate the n ws to wife
ind son.
“The white marc gone?" cried Jerry in
astonishment. Then ho rushed to the
liable to satisfy himself.
Lucius Swsprue hid seen a face that was
cot unfamiliar to him w hen tho horse and
rider went Iv. After communicating tho
lews to wife and son he sought Iva.
lie did not find her.
She was not in her room, and had not re
tired, since the bed was undisturbed. At
9nco the tavern-keeper jumped at a con
tusion—it teas Iraon the white mare.
He understood the situation now. The
girl had gone to join the man who had
written tho h tter—Wallis Wager.
“By heaven she shall not succeed. I will
mrtake her beforo she goes far,” and
Lucius Swayne rushed out to the stable
once more.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
ms vjm of Women Rejected pt a \Vl*-
conin Election.
Associated press dispatch from Mil
waukee, Wis , dated Tuesday, says: The
election to-day was for state associate
juilgc of the supreme court. Harlow T.
Orton, democrat, was re-elected without
opposition. Milwaukee county voted on
judge of the circuit court and judge of
the superior court. The democrats aud
republicans placed a fusion ticket in the
field ogainst the labor party. At 10
> clock to-night twenty-five precincts
have been heard from, giving D. H.
Johnson, democrat, and George H.
Xoves, republican, fusion judicial candi
dates, 1,140 majority over the labor can- I
didntes. The seventeen additional city
precincts will probably neutralize this
majority, but seven towns of the county
will go strongly for the fusion candidates,
who are probably elected by 2,000 major
ity. The labor party will elect about
half the aldermen and about one-half the
supervisors. Both bodies will probably
be democratic, as two-thirds of the al
dermen hold over. In many cities of the
state, by preconcerted arrangement, ladies
in bodies wont to the polls and offered to .
vote, claiming to be entitled to do so by
an inference conveyed by the recent law
allowing women to vote in school affairs.
In Sturgeon Bay one hundred of them
voted, but elsewhere their ballots weie
refused. In Delavan, eighty prominent
ladies marched to the polls in the morn
ing in procession. A lively discussion
followed, speeches being made for and
against their right to vote. After con
siderable excitement the board refused
to accept the votes of the ladies. The
polls were blocked until after 12 o’clock
by lavlies who persisted in offering their
votcß. A test case will be made and
carried to the supreme court. Reports
from the interior cities are meagre. Co
lumbus, Delavan and Totnah have elected
republican mayors. In Depere a fusion
of republicans ami democrats won over
the labor party. Kenosha elected a full
labor ticket.
EVIDENTLY A CRANK.
A Hau trente* a In Chnttnnoogn,

A genuine sensation was created in
Chattanooga Friday by the arrest of a
man who gave his name as Doyle. Doyle
took supper at a Restaurant iu the city
Thursday night, and refused to pay the
proprietor, and was in consequence arres
sted. In submitting to the arrest he took
occasion to lavish epithets on the propri
etor of the restaurant, aud another war
rant for profanity was secured. lie was
taken before a city magistrate and com
mitted to the county jail in default of
SSOO, and remained in cell all night. Fii
day morning, on his agreement,
to pay the cost of the arrest
aud the restaurant man the warrant was
withdrawn. After this whs done, he
having in the meantime taken on a good
supply of whi>key, showed to the as
tounded officers and bystanders rolls of
greenbacks that were bestowed in various
parts of his person, amounting in all to
$19,000. This at once excited surprise,
and it was at once set down by the offi
cials that Doyle was one of the notorious
express robbers about which so much has
tecently been said. Deputy United States
Marshal Ilill telegraphed the man’s de
scription at once to various places in
hopes of identifying the man but received
no ai swer* Doyle, as soon as he got free,
left ou the first train for parts unknown.
He was evidently “off” in some way, aud
the officials think, they have caught it
rich if they can only find out who he is.

FIVE MEN HANGED,
A WHOLES ALL LY Mill So /.V
1 OItKVILLL, S. C,
% *?ob Tnltr* from the Jnil Five .Men Ac
eiuml of Murder Hint (lung them
nil to Trees
Most every body is more or less fundi
iur with the story of the linitul murder
on the dOtli of lust November of little
Johnulo Lee Good, near Yorkville S. (' .
nnd the subsequent arrests made ami con
fessions developed. '
This most horrible murder had a fatal
termination on last Tuesday In the lynch
itiß of live of the prisoners arrested ns
principals and accomplices, The story
of the lynching is tola fully in the fol
lowing special from Yorkville: In per
fect socurity Yorkville retired Monday
t ight, little expecting to awake up next
morning and find live dead bodies dang
ling from tbe limbs of trees, almost with
iu the corporate limits. The men chose
for the time of their work the early
morning, and at half past four, the shcr
itf, win, is also jailer, was awakened by a
noise at the door. He rushed up to the
crowd in his night dress and on refusing
to surrender the keys, his visitors pro
ceeded to the third floor and commenced
on the same door that had partly yielde I
to similar treatment only a few weeks
before.
The sheriff was powerless to offer re
sistance ami endeavored to attract atten
tion to the jail by tho rapid and succes
sive firing of his gun. This hud the
( ffect to bring to the scene a few persons,
but by the time they arrived the lynch
ing party had gained entrance, secured
the meu they wanted and left. The '
wooden door, before alluded to, was
opened by cutting out the large plate i
lock with an ax. The padlocks securing
the doors subsequently were broken, but j
these were replaced by new ones aud the
cells were left comparatively safely
locked.
Five prisoneis were wanted, it seem-,
instead of six, as on one former occasion,
and those taken were Giles Good, Bailey
Dowdle, Prindley Thomson, Dan Rob
erts, nnd Mose Lipscomb. Their identity
was insured by means of a dark lantern
with which the party was provided. As
far as can bo known no resistance, or
even outcry, was made by any of tic
doomed men. The spot selected for the
execution of the deed, was a knoll on the
road leading northwest from the jail and
oulv a short distance from the stone,
marking the first mile from the court
house.
The ropes used were ordiuary cotton,
which appear to have been used as plow
lines. As soon as it was possible for the
sheriff to do so, he went to tho spot of
the execution, taking with him two phy
sicians, but they arrived ton late to ren
der any assistance to the five limb bodies
they found dangling from the trees, four
from one tree ou the east side of the road
and the other from the limb of a stout
oak hard by on the opposite side. Life
was found to. be extinct.
The sheriff caused the bodies to ho cut
down immediately, and on blanket-,
spread upon the ground, laid them side
by side under the branches of the tree on
which the four were hanged. Here the
bodies remained until late in the after
noon, when they were removed for burial.
Prindley Thomson's relatives took
possession of his body, anti the body of
Bailey Dowdle was taken possession of
by his father. The other bodies were
buried at the expense of the county.
A HORRIBLE MURDER.
A Fiend .Hurtlerg aud then Rums Ills Wife
nrnr Ada, Ain.
The particulars of the most horrible
crime iu the criminal records of Alabama
have just cun :to light. Last Tuesday
morning Tarleton Steele, colored, mur
dered and then burned his wife, near Ada,
in Montgomery county. About two
o’clock in the morning they had a quart cl
and hot words led to blows. Tarleton
struck his wife ou the head with an axe
handle, killiug her almost iustantly. He
then took the body and carried it off to
a lonely place in the woods, a mile from
home, threw it in a gully, piled trash and
straw on it, then poured kerosene oil on
the heap aud stuck fire to it. He then
returned home and left the body to be
cremated. The gentleman on whose
place he was living missed the woman,
but said nothing about it, and the mur
derer remained on the place a day and
night after tho crime was committed.
Thursday morning he went back to the
woods and found that the body had not
been entirely burned up. lie put trash
on the remains, but having no match to
start the fire again he lied.
Suspicion hud been aroused, and the
neighbors searched the woods aud found
the remaining portions of the body. The
murderer was captured ten miles distant
and brought to Montgomery to jail. He
made a full confession of the terrible

BURNED TO DEATH.
Thr Frightful Dcnt'i of Two Knilrund Men
l:i Tennessee.
A special to Atlanta Constitution says:
The details of a most terrible wreck on
the Memphis and Charleston railroad,
which occurred late Friday nigh’, has
just been ’.earned. Two freights came
in collision near Pocahontas, a station
near Corinth, owing to a misunderstand
ing of orders by Engineer Kohl, of the
east bound freight. His oidors were to
pass the we-t bound Height at Winne
soga, but not finding the train there he
concluded to make Pocahontas, and set
off at a wild speed to make that station.
He had not gone over one mile when he
encountered the Westbound freight, and
a frightful wreck was the consequence.
On Engineer Kohl’s train was a car
loaded with turpentine, and when the
cars came together the turpentine was
ignited, and the accident having occur
red in a remote spot from water, the en
tire train was consumed. After the fire
hud burned out search wits made for the
unfortunate Kohl and bis fireman, nnd
the charred remains of Kohl, almost en
tirely burned to ashes, were found in the
debris of the engine, and not a vestige of
the fireman could he found, his body
having been entirely consumed. No
other trainmen were hurt. The wreck
was clarcd and the trains went through
Sunday.

MORMON DUPES.
.Miserable Experience of n Miuiatiiipian ia
(lie “iaantl of the Saint*.”
A special from El Paso Texas, dated
Monday says: James Bevell, wife and
three children, aged 5, 4 and 3 years, ar
rived here to-day from Gila, Ariz, They
belong to the army of dupes of Mormon
missionary work. Bevell lived at Cen
tral Academy, Panola county, Mississippi.
He owned forty acres of laud, with a
house aud barn, and with sixteen others
yielded to the seductive promises of the
.Mormons and against his wife’s plead
ings sold his place for $350. March 2
the Bcvells, with 200 others, started for
a Mormon settlement at Mauasa in the
San Louis valley, Colorado. They left
tlic warm spring time and blossoming ol
north Mississippi, and found winter and
snow storms in Colorado. Instead of the
promised hospitality they found no pro
vision made for them. The new comers
who had money or could get it left the
place at once. The Beveils prepared to
return home, but were persuaded to go
to Arizona, where they were told that
th clime would suit them. Bad as they
hud found Colorado, Arizona was im
tneusurenbly worse. The extremes of
cold and heat, the sand storms, the want
of building material, aud most of all, the
character of the people, made poor Bev
ell and his w ife sick at heart.
The Mormon Bishop Layton, a wealthy
man, owned the only grist mill, and his
invariable rule was to take one half the
grist as toll. The chief consideration
that led the Beveils to goto Mormondom
was the promise of good schools; but the
schools both in Colorado and in Arizona
were found unfit to send children to, be
cause of the influences for evil. Bevell
determined to start back to Mississippi.
He arrived here with $47, and will be
assisted to reach his former home.
“It has been a dear trip for me,” said
Bevell to-night, “but I’ll stop a good
deal of immigration the Mormons hoped
to get from my section. They don’t
practice what they preach. They are the
most ungenerous people I ever got
among.”
HE WANTS DAMAGES.
A Texas Kditor Suing tUe Members of Ibe
•Slate r,p*islalure.
Mr. H. S. Canfield, of Austin, Texas,
who was recently imprisoned by order of
the state house of representatives for
having caused the arrest of the speaker
during the recent session, has filed a suit
for damages against J. C. Carr, sergeant
at-arms of the house, and fifty-eight
members of the body, who voted for his
imprisonment. He claims $25 for actual
damages, SIO,OOO for damages in charac
ter nnd reputation, nnd $1,000,000 for
punitory damages. The members against
whom the su t is brought were served
with citatations Monday, and shortly
after the legislature adjourned, t' e mem
bers held a meeting to decide upon what
course to pursue. Those present agreed
that each would pay his pro rata share of
the expense of defending the suit.
THEY STRIKE Oil..
A special from Chattanooga, Tenn.,
says: A brief dispatch to the papers
i Tuesday, announcing that oil had been
S in James county, twenty miles cast of
| Chattanooga, threw the city into a good
deal of excitement and at Ootelwah,
where the well was drilled, the people
| ate fairly wild. Two months ago, names
; Laman A Cos., of Pennsylvania, begun to
bore for oil in the White Oak mountains,
hut they attracted no especial attention
until Monday, when the oil begun to
flow. There is no doubt butt Hat oil has
been struck. Two companies were
formed here a few months ago to bore
lor oil and gas and the discovery Monday
had a very stimulating effect, as they will
begin work at once.
A TEXAS BATTEE.
A special from San Augustine, in Lust
Texas, near the Louisiana line, says a
terrible fight occurred Friday morning
ten miles below Hemphill, in Sabine
county, between Captain Seult and his
little company of state rangers oil one
side aud old Willis Connor and his sous
on the other. Three of the Connor fam
ily and one ranger were instantly killed,
and Captain Scott and another of his
men were badly, if not fatally, wounded.
One of the Connor boys escaped, but the
rangers are in hot pursuit. The Connors
brought ori tho light by firiug fiom am
bush ttpuu the rangers, who were hunt
jug timber thieves. A doctor lias been
sent for by the raugers to attend the
wounded.

Dear Sir:
I was taken with a very *
severe cold last Spring, M
and tried every cure we
had in the store, and could t tit
get no help. , w
I had oar village doctor
prescribe for me, but kept S
getting worse. I saw aa
other physician from Port %
Jervis, N. Y.,and be told
me he used Piso's Cure 9
for Consumption in his
practice. 8
I bought a bottle, and *
before 1 had taken all of •
it there was a change for n
the better. Then I got my tI
employer to order a quan- j
tity of tbe medicine and
keep it in stock. I took
one more bottle, and my n
Cough was cured.
Respectfully, j
