unsuccessful, and the violence of the mob

police keep up a merci-
less (ire upon the mob.
The city, owing to thc wreck and ruin
of houses, presents a deplorable aspect.
Its appearance is similar to that of Paris
after the commune. It is feared that nu-
merous deaths resulting from the riots,
have taken place which will never be
heard from. The hospitals are taxed to
the utmost to accommodate the great
number of wounded persona in need of
attendance. A painful feature of the riots
is thc number of children wounded. A
bov was shot while returning from Sun-
day school. A little girl was shot on the
street, and, it is thought fatally wounded.
She was carried away apparently lifeless. !
An incident of the disorders is as fol-
lows: Mrs. Mcllwaine on Saturday ha-
rangued a small crowd of neighbors in 1
regard to the riots and roundly abused !
the police for firing upon the people. I
She afterwards expressed the fear that
she would lose her life on account of her
speech. She, therefore, in order to
avoid recognition, put on a black dress on
Sunday instead of a white one which she j
failed, wore on however, Saturday. This precaution ;
to save her. During the
progress of the riot, she ran to the j
door to gather in some straying children.
A bullet struck her in the head, and she j
fell lifeless in the doorway. I

from a Mexican standpoint. A report
was circulated to the effect that Consul
that Brigham had confirmed the statement
a second demand for Cutting’s re¬
lease had been made by the United States
government and the people went wild
with delight. Mr. Brigham, the Ameri¬
can consui, however, says that he WHS
misunderstood, demand that he expects such a
at any moment, but does not
know that it has yet been made. Cutting
has been called before court in Paso del
Norte and Consul Brigham is in attend¬
ance.
HOW CUTTING TOOK HIS SENTENCE.
As sentence was pronounced Cutting
turned slightly pale, but was otherwise
ing thoroughly the composed. When the read¬
of sentence was finished, he asked
in a loud voice of the court, at the same
time pointing to Medina;
“About the $000, is that creature to
get any of itl”
At this point Consul Brigham inter¬
posed to stop him.
“If the prisoner uses insulting lan¬
guage,” said the judge. “I can add
something to the tenn of his sentence.”
neither Judge Brigham assured tho court that
he nor Cutting meant any disre¬
to
“Let us understand,” said Judge
Brigham, “just what this is for?”
“It is for the publication, on the other
side, of an article which is held to have
vitiated a reconciliation on this side.”
“And this act on the other side,” con¬
tinued Judge Brigham, “was constructed
on this side as a contempt of court?”
To this the court replied in the nega¬
tive. The court then turned to the pris-
onere and asked:
“Do you still stand under the protec¬
j tion of your government?”
, “I do,” replied Mr. Cutting.
, “Do you wish to take an appeal to the
supreme court?” the judge asked.
“I have no appeal to make except to
the government of the United States.”
“If you should desire to take an ap¬
peal,” said Judge Zubia, “you have five
days in which to give notice. Do you
wish to sign the proceedings of this
court?”
“I sign nothing.”
“Do you wish to express satisfaction
or dissatisfaction with the sentence?”
“No, sir; I have never recognized your
nize court or jurisdiction, and I do not recog¬
its right to imprison me for one
hour.”
Cutting wag taken back to jail.
EXCITEMENT AT EL PASO.
No sooner was tho fact of Cutting’s sen¬
tence known than both towns on the Mex¬
ican and American side were alive over
the matter. Two secret meetings were
held at El Paso, and companies of min¬
ute men were organized. The merchants
fear harm if soldiers are not promptly on
hand. They realize that Congress only
can declare war. but the superior num¬
ber of Mexican soldiers in Paso Dei Norte
would play havoc with the single com¬
pany at Fort Bliss, one mile from El Paso.
Arms and ammunition arc not scarce
however, and citizens are secretly organ¬
izing, so as to act on the defensive.
Their voice is unanimous for the vindica¬
tion of American honor and the protec¬
tion of our citizens. Thc Mexicans, too,
are angry at the tone of our press, and
people are fearful of violence on account
of tho numerous mass meetings which
are being held.

HIS TWO WITHS.
A ( hii(liiiioo«ii .Tin ii Find* Itlmaelf In a Nad
Predicament.
James Stearns, who returned to Chat-
lauooga, Tenth, last week with a pretty
young wife, after an absence of thirty
years in California, believing his first
1 wife dead, only to find the latter alive, is
in an unfortunate predicament, He has
two wives and don't know what to do
with one of them. Both Stearns and his
first wife believed each other dead, as he
had gone west to seek a home for his
family and was never heard from, and
neither could he learn one word concern
ing his wife, she receiving neither letters
nor $1,000, which he sent her. Steurns
was married in 1840, and the couple were
devoted to each other. Now that he has
found her alive, and that she has re¬
mained true to hqr troth, plighted forty-
six years ago, his''old love has been re¬
kindled, and yet he loves his young wife
whom he brought from California, and
she fairly worships her aged husband.
They are liviug in the same house at
present, last but this state of affairs cannot
long, as both the wives, who at first
were so affectionate toward each other,
are becoming very jealous. The husband
is in a dilemma and cannot decide which
wife shall have the exclusive claim to his
affection.
The two baby boys whom he left when
he went west are now grown men and
have families, while by his second wife
he has a sweet four-year-old girl.
