did I now grant your request I should feel
myself to be a moral coward, worthy tho
severe condemnation of the law and the
contempt and derision of the good and law-

Occupying the position I do as the repre

commit a crime so plainly forbidden by

such an examplo of lawlessness.
You did me a gross wrong and injustice
by your derogatory personal reference to

privately admitted in your letter to Maj.

If I have done you any wrong in the lan

established by a different method from the

I must, therefore, for the reason assigned

MOKMONISM.
A Lady Victim's Evidence Uefore a Con
gressional Committee.
Washington, May 4.—In the hearing yes*
terdav hnfore the Honse iudiciary commit
tee, quite a gronp of ladies came'with Miss
Kate Field to see the three Mormon womeD,
who sat upon one of the sofas during the
hearing. Mr. Baskin, representing the
anti-Mormon element, made a very elabo
rate argument before tho committee, urging
additional legislation to put down the Mor
mon power. He Srgusd that the men who
thought polygamy was right should be dis
franchised oa well as those who actually
practioe polygamy. Mr. Baskin mado a sen
sational point in his discourse by intodne-
ing to the committee Miss Miles, a lady who
had gone through the Endowment House,
and who could testify to the oaths required
of tho raombers, Mrs. Miles is a tall, clear
faced brunette, perbapa 30 years of age.
She sat back of Miss Field, and looked veiy
much excited and disturbed while Mr.
Baskin related her story. She was an
Englishwoman, who was persuaded to join
the Mormon Church by a missionary who
had been an old playmate of here. He
proposed to her and she left England, la
spite of the protests of her parents.
She went to Utah to join him, knowing
nothing of polygamous marriages until she
arrived in Salt Lake. Then her lover told
her that ho intended to take a second wife.
She resented this, and it was only after a
long straggle with the Mormon powers that
she consented to be married to him, but
upon condition that she was to be the first
wife.
She went through the Endowment House
and will give her testimony before the com
mittee concerning the horrible oaths that
were reqnired. She found soon after she
bad been tricked that it was tho other wife
who was the first. She then had Miles ar
rested, and his caso was tried and thrown
out in the Supreme Court upon a teclini
cality. Legal proof was lacking of tho first
marriage. Miles was therefore freed. Mrs,
Miles never returned to Salt Lake. A short
time ago the death of a relative left her an
independent fortune in England. She has
since returned from England to this country,
where she intends to live. She will assist
Miss Field in her fight against the Mormons.
Mrs. Miles testifies to two or three forms
of oaths, which were submitted to the com'
mittee yesterday. One form specifies that
the Mormons shall regard the rules of the
Church ss above that of the civil law, and
that any betrayal of the secrets of the
Church shall be foUowed by the tearing of
tbe tongue from the mouth and the cutting
of (lie throat of him who so falsifies his
oath. Another oath has the penalty of dis
emboweling connected with it. Mr. Baskin
submitted several cases of murder that bad
been oommitted in tbe Territory during bis
time by tho Mormons, which were in con
formity with the penalties prescribed in
these oaths. The presentatatiun of on act
ual witness who osn subscribe to the secrets
of the Endowment House will greatly aid
the people who are seeking to get an addi
tional legislation against the Mormons.
The secrets of the masquerade of the Mor
mon Church have never been fully given
before any of the Congressional committees.
Mrs. Miles' story of the shocking and dis
rating mummeries of the Endowment
louse, the horrible and murderous oaths
required, make s sensational story which
was presented in a very dramatic form yes
terday afternoon. Mrs. Miles is a strong,
resolute-looking woman. Than is no
donbt that her testimony is truthful and
honest.

l'KAYER AFTER BATTLE.
A Farmer Belabors an Enemy ami Thru
Falls Piously Upon Ills Knee..
Norwich, Conn., May 4.—Thurston LUli-
bridge and Daniel Barber, wealthy farmers,
wbo own big farms in tho northern part of
this town, and are neighbors, recently quar
reled about the laying out ol a new road
across Mr. Barber's land. Both men are
pious. Mr. Barber is a conscientious Bap
tist, who believes tbst it is s tin to get an
gry. The commissioners hsd agreed to the
layout, and had allowed Mr. Barber $1110
damages, and thereupon he hitched up his
big patent stone puller and dragged some
huf dozen ton rocks on the proposed road
bed. Mr. Lillibridge appeared on the field
at this moment and began to pull down r
fence to let tbe road go on. The two farm
ere met, and Mr. Barber, who ia muscular,
took Mr. LUlibridge in his arms and with
out a word sot hint over the fence on the
latter’s land. He told him he most never
come on his (Barber's) Und again.
Mr. Wheeler, another neighbor, s friend
of Mr. Lillibridge,piad hurried to the scene
to take Mr. LiUibridge’s part, and he came
up just in time to catch a terrifio blow be
tween the eyes from Buber's fist He
dropped, and saw the rest of the exercises
in a horizontal position. During the battle
Mr. Baiber hail shown no anger, and hail
said not a word. After Mr. Wheeler went
to gnus Mr. Lillibridge approached his op
ponent, nut too closely, and sarcastically
said! „
•Now, I would like to hear you uray.
•Very well," quietly replied Barber,
will; I am not mad with you.”
Then he dropped on his knees in the
snomty meadow near one of the big recks
thathis stone puller bail depbsited there,
and closing his eyes, clasping his bonds,
and turning his face toward the clear sky,
be prayed “that tbo Lord would make Mr.
LUfibritlg* s bettor man, and teach him to
do to others as be would wUh to he done
by. Amen!" he added in a fervent and
sonorous tone. After prayer Mr. U1U-
bridge and Mr. Wheeler quietly withdrew
going in one direction, and Mr. Itarber
went across the lot in another.
