the citizens to arrest them.
A CONSTABLE CARRIED OFF.
Bet re the train pulled out Constable

Judge Terry belonged to what was known
as the “Chivalry” wiug of the Democratic
party. In 1880 Judge Terry was defeated
as a Hancock elector, although his associ
ates were elected. In September, 1888, he
was sent to jail for six months for contempt
of court by Justice Field.
JUDGE FIELD’S STORY OF THE TRAGEDY.
The southerland overland train arrived
at the One Hundred and Sixty-eighth street
station in Oakland shortly after 11 o’clock
this morning. A great crowd had collected,
telegraphic intelligence of the Lathrop
tragedy having preceded the arrival of the
train, and the sleeping car in which
Justice Field was sitting was at once
besieged by United Status officials
and newspaper men. Justice Field
maintained his quiet demeanor, and replied
to the press representatives when asked to
narrate the particulars of the shooting, as
follows: “I can tell you the story in a few
words. For the last few months all manner
of ipports, both public and persona), have
reached tna that Judge Terry had threat
ened to subject me to some indignity if he
shoulp huppen to meet me.
UNDER GOVERNMENT PROTECTION.
“This fact caused the United States
marshal to decide to provide such protec
tion as he could during my stay in this
state. When I started for Los Angeles, to
hold court, Deputy Nagle accom
panied me. He seomed to be
a quiet, gentlemanly official, though
1 only met him twice while away from Los
Angeles. He asked me iu that city when I
intended to return, and accompanied me,
taking a seat in the sleeping car opposite
to me. We heard this morning that Judge
Terry and his wife were on the train, but
paid no attention to the fact. When we
arrived at Lathrop we entered the eating
station to get breakfast. I took a
seat at the end of the
table, while Deputy Nagle sat on
one side of me. Judge Terry and his wife
came in the room soon after. As soon as
sho saw me she went out cf the room, as I
after .!aid learned, going to the car f r her
sachel. Judge Terry rose, and I supposed
he intended accompanying her. Instead of
doing so, he walked back of me, and struck
me a heavy slap in the face.
COMPLETELY ASTONISHED.
“I was completely astonished, and, see
ing he was making ready to strike again,
Deputy Nagle cried out, ‘Stop,’ ‘stop,’ but
Judge Terry did not desist, and as ho was
raising his arm the second tune. Deputy
Nagle shot at him, the buliet entering his
heart. He fell to the floor. Deputy Na/Jo
shooting a second time, but the second shot
did not strke him. Deputy Nagle was ar
rested at Tracey and taken to Stockton to
await the result of the inquest. That is the
simple story as far as I am aware of the
facts,” said the justice in conclusion.
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER’S ORDER.
Protection was accorded to Justice Field,
it is claimed, by authority of United States
Attorney General Miller, who telegraphed
from Washington to the marshal of this
district to see that the person of Justice
Field was protected at any hazard.
The order extended also to Judge
Sawyer, of the United States circuit
court in this city, upon whom Mrs. Terry
made a personal assault last year, while on
a raiiwav train accompanied by Judge
Terry. 'The order was based upon this fact,
and upon the throats declared to have been
made openly by Judge Terry against Jus
tice Field.
TERRY GIVEN FULL WARNING.
Deputy Marshal Nagle was directed to
accompany Justice Field, under this order,
and is said to have given Judge Terry full
warning to stop when the latter began his
attack upon Justice Field, and fired at
Judge Terry as the lattar was about to
strike the second time.
Justice Field left the Overland train at
Oakland ferry and drove at ones to the
Palace hotel, where he was joined by his
wife. He was not arrested, and the notice
to the chief of police, claimed to' have been
sent by the district attorney of Ban Joa
quin, if forwarded in that form, was not
carried out.
MRS. TERRY HAD A PISTOL.
A passenger who was on the train at
Lathrop says tlfht when he heard the shoot
ing he rushed out of the car and saw Mrs.
Terry with a sachel in her hand. She was
trying to open it, and he took it from her.
She tried to gain possession of it again, but
failed. W r hen the sachel was opened after
ward a pistol was found in it.
NAGLE’S RECORD.
David Nagle, the deputy United States
marshal who killed Judge Terry in 1881,
received the appointment as chief of police
of Tombstone. While engaged in that
position he had frequent encounters with
the criminal element and soon earned for
himself the reputation of bomg a man of
indisputable courage and bravery. He shot
and killed a Mexican desperado in Tomb
stone alter a fierce encounter. Chief Nagle
was appointed deputy marshal here a year
ago, and when Judge Terry made
the assault on Marshal Frank last
September Deputy Nagle disarmed him.
THEIR LIVES IN JEOPARDY.
The following facts wero submitted to
Justice Field this afternoon and declared by
him to be a correct statement of the
circumstance? that led to the shoot
ing: During Judge Terry’s confine
ment in the county jail he
threatened upon his releasa to take the lives
of J udges Fiold and Sawyer. Prior to the
contempt of court for which he was in
prison, Mrs. Terry in his presence
had made an assault on Judge Sawyer
in a Pullman car. It is believed that had
Judge Sawyer resisted the insult Judge
Terry would haTe killed him. Judge
Terry’s threats were so publicly made that
they reached the ears of Justice Field’s
colleagues on the supreme bench and were
made known to the department of
justice in Washington, whereupon Attor
ney General Miller ordered Marshal Franks
to take whatever measures were necessary
to protect the persons of Justice Field and
Judge Sawyer from assault. On his arrival
in California, to hold court iu this part of
his circuit, Justice Field objected to being
put under the protection of the marshal's
officers.
wouldn’t carry arms.
When asked if he intended to carry arms
to defend himself he said: “No, I do not
and will not carry arms, for when it is
known that the judges of courts are com
pelled to arm themselves for defense
from assaults offered in consequence of
their judicial action it will be time to dis
solve the courts, consider the govern
ment a failure and let society lapse into
barbarism.”
Notwithstanding his objection to protec
tion, the marshal declared himself subject
to the order of his superior officer, Attorney
’General Miller, and deputized Mr. Nagle
to keep within reach of Justic* Field,
ready to carry out the ordess of
the department of justice. In an interview
at Indianapolis Attorney General Miller
corroborates this statement in its more im
portant points, and says he gave Marshal
Franks orders to protect the judges.
THE BODY AT STOCKTON.
Stockton, Cal., Aur. 14.—The coroner
arrived here at 12:40 o'clock to-day with
Judge Terry’s body in a box covered with
white cloth. Mrs. Terry rode in the express

eral friends of the deceased. When the
body was taken off the car she followed, and
roae with it in an express wagon to the
morgue, fcjUs was distressed, and said it

was the most cowardly murder of a mad
man. The inquest will bo held to-night.
Deputy Marshal Nagle was brought here
iu a buggy by Constable Walker of Lath
rop. When the overlaud train left Lathrop
after the shooting. Constable Walker got in
the car and arrested 'Deputy Nagle. He
rude with him to Tracy, and there took
a buggy to Stockton to avoid the crowds.
M hen Deputy Nagle reached the jail ho
alighted from the buggy and came iu with
his coat covering hisJliandculTed hand*. Dep
uty Nagle refused to be interviewed. He
snid: “1 ain a deputy United States-mar
shal and simply did my duty as an officer."
He was locked up alone, and soon after
sent for a local attorney. Deputy Nagle
was very cool, but loosed pale and de
termined.
THREATENING LETTERS.
Washington, Aug. 14.—Before Justice
Field left here he had been receiving for
some time letters threatming his life from
Judge Terry and friends of Sarah Althea
Hill. He was disposed to scorn them and
take no precamions, but bis family, through
Attorney General Miller, had the United
States marshal for California requested to
detail a deputy marshal to prott*cc him.
OREGON FOHB9T3 ON FIRE.
Portland Under a Cloud of Smoke for
Three Days Past.
Chicago, Aug. 14.—A special dispnch
from Portland, Ore., says: “The atmos
phere for miles around is thick with srnoke
and cinders, and burning brands are falling
in showers. All the northwestern country
seems to bo burning up in forest Gres. The
smoke has been so dense in Portland for the
lost two or three wneks that for a time it
wrs impossible to see far up the street, and
the sun and moon looked like groat bails of
fire. In the harbor the sinoko has had the
effect of a fog, and steamers have been re
quired to blow their whities every few min
utes to avoid collision.”
HEAVY LOSSES.
“It is estimated that the total damage by
the forest fires in the northwest this year
will amount to $500,000. Several farm
bouses have bean burned with their stables
and produce and stores. Several thousand
cords of wood have been burned.
Yesterday the flames swept down on the set
tlement of Cedar Mills au l left the country
barren. People in some instances had
scarcely time to escape, tyad had to hurry
through the woods, the fire being too thick
along the regular roads. An extensive fire
is raging in South Oregon, south of Rose
bud, and a number of houses have been
burned.
THE work of tramps.
“Somo of tile forest fires aro the work of
tramp'. If they aro not treated well at
any point they start fires out of revenge. A
number were run out of McLean’s settle
ment, in South Oregon, the other day, and
taki gto the woods they started a fire. It
was discovered in time and extinguished. A
posse of men started after the tramps and
captured three. Ropas were put about their
neCiS and they were strung up some time
and then taken down and thrashed
soundly. 1 ’

tive refusal, and told him that bona fide ar

HARRISON OFF FOR HOME
THE START FROM BAR HARBOR
MADE IN BAD WEATHER.
A Drive From Secretary Blaine’s
House to the Wharf—Walker 31sine
Unable to Aooompany the Party-
Comforts of the Train—Enthusiastic
Greetings All Along the Line.
Banuor, Ms., Aug. 14.—President Harri
son left Bur Harbor in uncomfortable
weather. The skies have smiled upon him
during almost tho whole of his visit to his
Secretary of State, but when he arose at
Stauwcod this morning he looked out noon
a gray, chilling, wet day. The rain kept
pattering down as he ate his breakfast with
bis friends, and prepared for the one-mile
dnfe to the wharf, bat when ho took a seat
in a closed carriage it hod almost
stopped. From tho carriage to
the wharf he escorted Mrs. Hale and held
an umbrella over her head aud his own.
Closely following him were Secretary
Blams, Secretary Tracy, Senator Hale,
Henry Cabot Lodge, Private Secretary
Halford, Harold M. Sewnll, of Samoan
fame, who escorted tho President to his
father’s residence in Bath, Lieut. Cowlos,
commanding tho United States steamer
Dispatch, Aleck Palmrock, J. G. Blaine,
Jr., and Hon. VV. S. Gurnee.
WALKER BLAINE DIDN’T GO.
Walki-r Blaine, who was to have formed
oue of the party as far as Now York, ex
ercising supervision over the traveling
arrangements, did not come to the wharf.
Last evening he sustained a bruise near the
eyo by a buck-board accident. His physi
cian thought, a little lest would be good
for liim. On the wharf stood half
a hundred spectators. The President
went directly to the main saloon
of the boat Sappho, Cant. Oliver, an i there
parting greetings wore exchanged between
him and Secretary Blaine, aud also with
W. S. Gurnee. The little* crowd waved its
good by aud the President was once more
on the water and had fairly begun bis trip
toward Washington. It was just raw
enough on the water to make evorybody
want to stay indoors, and tho President sut
in the main saloon during the half hour
trip.
ON THE TRAIN AGAIN.
Hancock Point was reached about 0:15
o’clock, and five minutes later the party
was seated in the vestibule parlor cars in
which it had traveled from Boston. The
President’s surroundings were of the most
comfortable kind. The parior cars, with
ail modern conveniences, were decorated
with flowers from end to end. On
tbo table were birch bark, canoes
laden with flowers. The locomotive
was trimmed with flowers and bunting.
A stop for a minute was made at Ellsworth,
the home of Senator Hale, and tile Presi
dent jumped to the platform and assisted
Mrs. Hale to aligb Tho-parang word, and
the train was oh ■ tin, making no stop
until it reached L.ijgor at about llhiio
o’clock in the tnorniug.
warmly greeted at bangor.
Bath, Me., Aug. 14.—About 200 people
wero in the station at liangor when tiie
presidential train arrivod. The President
received a warm greeting and stood shaking
hail 's on the platform until the train pro
ceeded. Secretary Tracy, Senator Ilaie,
Congressman Lodge, Private Secretary
Halford, Harold M. Bewail und J. G.
Bialne, Jr., were his traveling companions
at this time. The train went at express speed
through Waterville aud on to Augusta in a
drizzling rain. Fifty-five miles in sixty-two
minutes was the record made from Bangor
to Waterville, and the run was as last
south of the last named city.
THE STOP AT AUGUSTA.
The stop at Augusta was only long
enough to permit J. H. Manley to step on
board. Gov. Burleigh was not at the depot.
He had been expected to meet the train in
this city and lunch at Mr. Sewall’s, but he
had not sufficiently recovered from an
attack of rheumatism to taka the journey,
and consequently was compelled a second
time to miss greeting the President as he
passed through the state. While the train
waited the President kept hi* seat, gazing
from the window at the three score people,
who watched him from the platform.
AT BRUNSWICK.
At Brunswick Arthur Sewall, Payson
Tucker and Gen. Hyde came aboard/ At
one time during the morning journey the
train made a mile in forty-eight seconds,
and at another time, a mile in fifty-five
seconds. Bath was reached at 1 o’clock,
and there President Harrison was enthusias
tically received by a large crowd. The people
crowded the depot and lined the streets as
the President and party wore driven to the
residence of Mr. Sewall for a hasty lunch.
Afterward the President appeared on the
custom house steps and, with hie party,
was welcomed by the children from the
soldiers’ home.
A RECEPTION.
Manchester, N. H., Aug. 14.—After
lunch a reception was held at the Bath fed
eral building. After the presentations had
heed made within doors, the President was
escorted to the front of the building and
was introduced by the mayor to the assem
bled crowd. The President responded by
saying:
My Friends—My visit to the state of Maine is
altogether disconnected from public affairs. I
am not here to day to speak to you on any
public topic, but only to thank you most sin
cerely for the cordial manner in which you have
received me. I cannot, however, leave the
presence of the citizens of Bath without assur
ing them that I have a verv deep interest
in that great industry wnich built your thriv
ing city, and which hasdono so much to pro
mote the prosperity of our whole people—the
industry of ship-building. [Great applause ]
Iu every way that I properly can, whether as a
citizen or as a publio officer, 1 shall endeavor to
promote the rebuilding of our American xner
chant marine and the restoration of
that great carrying trade which
we once possessed in every sea.
[Cheers,) The arrangements which have been
made aud the interest which I feel in the close
insi>ection of your ship yards forbids that I
should speak to you longer. I therefore beg
that you will allow me to thank you again for
your cordial interest and to bid you good by,
AT THE IRON WORKS.
The President and partv then re-entered
their carriages aud were driven to the works
of the Batli Iron Company. They were
received with great enthusiasm. Jutinide
of the long wide building the children of
the military and naval orphan asylum were
ranged with flags in their hands and greeted
the President with song as he entered.
After inspecting the works, the
party embarked on the steamer
Winurna and followed along the
river for some distance inspecting
the various shipyards and viewing with
much interest the ships in process of con
struction. The President and Secretary of
the Navy climbed the stops leading to the
platform at the top of the skeleton of one
ship, after landing from the steamer at
Hawaii’s shipyard, and looked at the others
from the windows of their carriages as they
were driven through the yard toward Mr.
Sewall’s house. At the house on informal re
ception was held and a collation was served.
Then the presidential party was driven to
the depot in a heavy rain, aud amid the
hearty cheers of the people, the train
started on it# return trip to Brunswick,
WELCOMED BY A REGIMENT.
At this point tho members of the old
Ninth Mains regiment welcomed tho Presi
dent, and here Secretary Tracy aud Sena
tor Halo to >k their departure by a special
train for Ellsworth. At Portland Con
gressman Lodge au l Mr. Tucker loft the
train, and Congressman Reed, ex-Gov.
Itobie and otiier gentlemen camo on
board to greet the President, leaving
before the train Btarted again, however.
Ihe popular assembly at Portland was not
very large, but the people were anxious to
see the President, and ho went to (ho rear
of the platform, and was heartily cheered.
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
At 7 o’clock to-night Ktttery was reached,
and the state line passed. A minute or
two later the train tlrew up in Portsmouth.
Here a committee from Manchester entered
the car and welcomed the President to the
state of New Hampshire. The party
numbered about twenty, aud in
cluded ex-Govs. Cheney, Currier,
Smyth and Weston, (ten. Charles
C. fiurlburt aud Gen. Paul Long of G iv.
Goodell's suilf. After the members of the
committee had been presented to tho Presi

The Engagement Witnessed by the
Two Emperors.
Berlin, Aug. 14.—Emperor William and
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria left
Berlin at 7:45 o’clock this morning for
Spandau, where a sham fight took piaon.
Knur battalion* of troops crossed the Havel
river, which at this point is 450 meters
wide, on n bridge constructed of ninety
pontoons. Tho buildiug of the bridge and
the passage of t ho troops wore accomplished
in a remarkably short time. Tho battle
took plane on the bights south of Spandau.
THE NEW SMOKELESS POWDER.
One division of ton battalions used the
new smokeless powder, while their oppo
nents used the old style of powder. The
contrast between the effects of the tsvo ex
plosives was striking, the troops using the
old powder being e mpletely enveloped iu
smoke. The action ended iu tho wesiorn
force being thrown hack on Spandau.

operations. The two emperors lunched in a

PAYMENT OF TITHES.
Landlords Instead of the Occupiers
to be Held Responsible.
London, Aug. 14. —Attorney General
Webster announced la the House of Com
mons this evening that tho govorumont had
decided to amend the tithes bill by accept
ing the oppositions proposal to make land
lords instead of occupiers liable for tho pay
ment of tithes. The amiounceinont was
greeted with oiieors by the liberals.
Sir William Vernon Hareourt expressed
his gratification. This announcement, he
said, proved that the patience and arduous
exertions ol the opposition had not been in
vain. Tho govern eont's decision was
equivalent to to the introduction of a now
bill. [Cheers.J
The principal for which the liberals had
contended had been recognized. It implied
an entire change of tho whole
system of tithe*, involving immense
interests and iilhon* of money.
Seeing tho importance of the government's
change of front tiie liberals must ask time
to scrutinize the bill when placed upon
paper before committing themselves to Its
acceptance. Mr. Smith, the government
leader, admitted that it was reasonable to
postpone discussion on the bill until the new
clauses were textually before the Houso.

CLARKSON ALL MIXED IT
AN ATLANTA PAPER DECLARES
HIS STATEMENTS FALSE.
A Charge That the Authorities at
Washington are Determined to Dis
tort the Facts—Penny Not at th
Head, But at the Foot of tho Liat oi
Eligible^
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. It—ln reply to the
statement of Acting Postmaster General
Clarkson, *ont out by the Associated Pres*
in reference to the appointment of a negro
dark to a position in the Atlanta postofflee,
tho Constitution will say to-morrow in a
double-leaded editorial:
That the authorities in Washington are de
termined to distort the facts relative to the ap
pointment of tho negro Penny to a place in ths
Atlanta postofflee is dearly shown by the tele
gram which we printed yesterday. Nearij
every statement attributed to Acting Post
master General Clarkson in that telegram is
false on the face of it. and the telegram may
justly be regarded a* a deliberate attempt on
the jiart of the official, supposed to tie dose to
the administration, to deceive the public with
reference to Ilia event that has become notori
ous.
NOT AT Tna HEAD OF THIS LIST.
Mr Clarkson says that the Atlanta postmas
ter. Gen. Lewis, ' appointed Charles C. Penny,
who stood at the head of the civil service fist ol
ellgihles." This is false. When Gen. Lewis ap.
pointed Penny, lie was the lowest in the list ol
two, and Gen. Lewis did not discover until af
terward that Mr. Sturgis, the white applicant,
was not eligible, for ho appointed him to a
clerkship In another department the next day,
WHAT LCWIS SAYS.
Gen. Lewi* himself says that he appointed
Penny to n position In ttie registry department
because lie would tlisn be less liable to come in
contact with the public: but Mr. Clarkson says
teal Penny “Was assigned to work in the regis
try division not In the same room with The
young lady, but in another."
The Impression here sought to be loft on the
public is false.
Kx Postmaster Ttenfroe. who knows a greal
deal more about the workings of tho postofflee
here than Gen. 1-owis, s lys that clerks in th
registry department aro necessarily brought
into contact and association.
ANOTHKH FAI.SH BTATKMF.NT.
Mr. Clarkson says that “tbu young lady and
her father who was the superintendent of tha
registry division, and had the assignment ol
clerks, both resigned iioc iu.se t.!is negro had
been appointed to a place in the office.” That
this is absolutely false is shown by Mr. Clark
son himself, who goes on to say that there wera
live negroes clerking in the postofflee
under the democratic postmaster This at
tempt at whitewashing, emanating from Wash
ington, will not lie successful. Ttie lieople ol
Atlanta know what ttiey are about, and in this
progressive, liberal city, imblic sentiment in
never at fault in matters of this kind.
WITHDRAWAL OF BONDSMEN.
If all t hat Mr. Clarkson has said is true, how
Is it that Mr. Van Winkle, a republican,
refuses to remain on Gen. Lends’ bond? If the
poatma-iter did not violate the civil service law-,
how is it Unit Judge Henry B. Tompkins cornea
off ills bond on that very ground, and shows
that the ttigxilatment of the nogro was a delib
erate and inexcusable one?
The Constitution assures Mr. Clarkson that
neither the administration nor any of its serv
ants will lie permitted to Blander and misrepre
sent Atlanta.
CLARKHON CRITICISES THE DISPATCH.
Washington, Aug. 14.—The above
dispatch from Atlanta was shown
to Acting Postmaster General Clark,
son to-night, and ho was asked what he
had to say in regard to it. He said: “I
liavo no wish to follow tho matter up. I
statod official facts, the litoral truth. The
Constitution seems to have been the origi
nal and inspiring medium of the whola sen
sation, gotten up purely for partisan
olfect as an appeal against the appointment
of colored people to office. The facts aro as
, 1 stated tli -m. Penny wal drawn from tho
list of eligible*. He was put iu the regis
try division wiiare tha white girl’s father,
as superintendent, had tho assignment ol
all the clerks. The superintendent firsl
asked whether he could lie kept for fout
years. The postmaster told him that ha
could not tell him that. Ho then resigned.
It seem* that ha was willing to work foui
years with a colored man but not a few
mouths.
NO TROUBLE ABOUT THE BOND.
“There has I men no trouble as to Post
master Lewis’ bond. Wtiilo one gentleman
may have asked to withdraw from it, sev
oral other good men in Atlanta, native
southerners, men of courage, not afraid to
stand by a man in the right position, roluu.
toured to go upon tho bond, and
made it much better than before.
It is no wonder that since th 4
story has gone to the country there is at
tempt on the part of Atlanta to ' explain.
The truth is Postmaster Lewis did nothing
more than was right, and so amount of
misrepresentation on account of race prej
udice can distort the actual facts into any
thing el*e than the truth.
TAKEN 0 THE SUPERINTENDENT.
The postmaster, instead of tryiug to put
the colored clerk at some deik with a whita
girl, as the Atlanta papers first printed it,
aid sent it north, took him to the superim
tendeut of the registry division, whq
had the assignment of clerks,
und, moreover, ho uas the white girl’s
father, and the colored man was put in an
other room. There was no more justifica
tion in father and daughter resigning than
there would have been if they had resigned
wiien the democratic postmaster had flvl
negro clerks in the same office. The Consti
Cufionadmit* that there were only two men,
on tho eligible list. Thg vacancy to fill wa|
in the registry division for which the negro
was quail (lid. The other man was chosen
the next day for uuother vacancy iu tha
offleo and which vacancy he was more
competent to fill. The spirit of the Const it
tut ion, aud those it represents simply rep
resents those who aio in.willing to accep
the negro as a citizen, and who are unwiij
iug bidet the colored people show thst
capacity to hold clerkships or other govern
rnent positions.”
