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 car ,'/ t b the remains, accompanied by sev 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 SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1889. 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 ’ SUNDAY IN CINCINNATI. Theaters Must Close and Ball Games be Abandoned.

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.

V [ WEEKLY, $1.25 A YEAR. ) 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.” A CHIEF OF POLICE BHOT. Negroes Lying ir, the Grass Near thg Jail Fired the Fatal allots.
