MK. JUSTICE MILLEK.OI the Supreme
Court of the United States, in an inter
view, at Chicago intimated that the
counsel for the anarchists would have to
make out a strong case before the United
'States Court would intervene.
IT is not true that Colonel tfred
Grant was a partner in the firm of
Ward & Grant, hut his confidence in
the firm caused him to lose all his mon
ey. His father and brother, U. S.
Grant, Jr., were Ward's unfortunate
PArtners. Colonel Grant is recognized
fey aU parties as a man of stern integ

THE artillerymen at Uilsa, India, on
being ordered to prepare to move
abroad, raised a riot, and after wreck
ing a sutler's shop went about smashing
windows, spreading terror among the
inhabitants. During the melee many
soldiers and ejfizens were seriously
injured. Twenty artillerymen have
been arrested.
A N exchange says man does not
really amount to anything until he has
married a nice girl." It is the great
misfortune of a good many "nice girls"
that men don't "really amount to any
thing" afterward. The girl who mar
ines a drinking, "wild oats" man ex
pecting to reform him afterward gener
ally repents in sorrow and tears.
WAIX, street continues to worry that
any money in the United States is lock
ed up and not within the reach of
speculators. They seem to think that
it the dutv of the treasury of the Nation
to keep one eye on Wall street, and re
plenish its vaults whenever the money
kings organize a raid. The best way
to reform Wall street is to let it go on
a bust whenever it wants to.
HE Rev. Frank C. Haddock, son of
the temperance martyr, was recently
made an active member of the Des
Moines Conference of the Methodist
Church. He was formerly ordained in
the Congregational ministry and sub
sequently began the practice of law.
The tragedy at Sioux Ciiy caused him
to return to the ministry with a new
consecration to the cause in which his
father sacrificed his life.
CLARENCE LAMB, of East Aurora,
N. Y., and Miss Louise Bedemare, a
school teacher of Elma, who were mar
ried Thursday at the East Aurora fair,
received presents that fill a small shed,
and consist of all most an entire out
fit of household furniture and utensils,
the wedding dress of the bride, and the
suit of clothes iu which the groom ap
peared, hay enough to keep their horse
all winter, a cellar full of potatoes, and
upward of a hundred cakes of laundry
eoap, besides enough silverware to re
stock the store of the bridegoom. The
young man says that there is little
difference between marriage before a
gaping crowd in a church and the
same ceremony in front of a stand at a
fair.
HE tree planted by Mrs. Cleveland
on the grounds of George Washington
Childs, at Wootton, was an oak. This
ceremony of tree planting is one that
has frequently before been observed at
Wootton when its visitors have been
distinguished. The lawn is marked
here and there with trees, whose roots
have been covered by the hands of
Christine Nilsson, Lady Fannie Sinclair
(daughter of the Earl of Caithness),
Nellie Grant Sartorig, Mrs. Goldwin
Smith, the Misses Drexel, General
Grant, Henry Irving, the Hon. Robert
C. Winthrop, Chauncey M. Depew, Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, Thomas Hughes,

HE Chicago newspapers possess the
dash and enterprise characteristic of
the town, and the readers of their
newsy oolunis seldom know the details
the enterprise exerted in their be
half. At the time of tne Chatsworth
disaster two or three of the papers'
chartered special trains and sent their
reporters and stenographers to the
scene, and the description furnished by
the Times was one of the most noteable
since Horace White's description of
the great fire, he then being the mana
ger of the Tribune. The other day
when the decision in the Anarchist's
case was rendered at Ottawa, the Jong
document (two newspaper pages, or
more) was taken down by short hand.
When the last words left the Clerk's
lips, the reporters rushed to the special
trains that were to bear them to Chica
go, eighty-four miles away. The Trib
une's train got four minutes start ahead
of its rival, the Times, and made the
run in two hours and three minutes
being at the end of the journey twenty
five minutes ahead of the second special.
Thus the important and long looked
for document was served to the public
in the briefest possible time.

It is said that the real murderer of
the Woolfolk* family has been discovered,
and is in jail at Canton, Cherokee county*
Georgia. ^Jack Bebose, a negro of some
whatsuswcious looks, was arrested by the
Bheriff of Cherokee county, and while con
fined in jail said enough to warrant the
sheriff in notifying the Atlanta authorities
that be was of the opinion the negro was
concerned in the Woolfolk tragedy. It is
evident that the negro was associated with
others in the commission of the murder.
His motive was revenge. It is Raid that he
had been convicted upon the testimony of
some of the Woolfoks of stealing and sent
to the chain gang. It was to avenge him
self for this that he murdered the family.
It is pfo^We that Tom Woolfolk, who is
under arrest accused of the murder, will
be released at once,
Quintan Campbell, of i^eavenworth,
Kan., who murdered his wife has made the
following statement My wife, to whom I
wap married six years ago, loft about two
weeks ago to vists her parents. She was
only to be gone a couple of days. That
time expired and she did not retu n, and I
wrote her a letter asking her to come home,
and why she remained away so long. I re
ceived no reply to the letter. I then tele
graphed. She answered that she intended
to stay in Kansas City. I waited awhile
and $hen went down after her and brought
her home. Since that time J. have repeat
edly asked her to give mg some reason why
she did not come home, but I eould get no
explanation, but finally she confessed to
me she had been untrue to me, and after
recrimination I shot her. His statement is
denied by friends of his wife.
Capt. Black, of counsel for the Chi
cagoanarchists appearedbefore the Supreme
court of Illinois at Ottawa, and asked leave
to withdraw the record in the case of the
anarchists for thirty days, presumably for
the purpose of taking it to New York, and
for assistance in completing his appeal to
the supreme court of the United States.
Chief Justice Sh-ldon, speaking for the
court, denied the motion, Capt Black was
very much downcast by the decision. The
record which the^attorney asked possession
of contains two million words. It is said
(Jen. llfiger A- Pryor apd Gen. gutter are

are really any grounds for proceeding to

A special from Clinton, Mo., says
A dance in the residence of W. L. Powell
was given by H. B. Mitchell, to which
James Atkins was not invited, owing to
quarrel between him and Mitchell. Not
withstanding he put in an appearance at
j o'clock, ana Mitchell believed his inten
tion to be to break up the party. With this
hd ordered Atkins from the premises, and
on his refusal to leave knocked him down.
Atkins drew a revolver, but Mitchell got
the drop on him and drove him from the
house. As the two stepped into the yard
Atkins made a false move and Mitchell
shot him dead. The murderer was arrested.
Heinrich Beers shot and killed Au
gusta Mejfertb near the Burlington &
Missouri depot, at Lincoln, Neb. Two shots
were fired, both of which took effect and
the girl died instantly. Beejs then placed
the weapon to his own head, and pulled the
trigger, but the cartridge failed to explode,
and before he could repeat the attempt he
was captured and locked up. He says he
had been trying to get Augusta to marry
him for some tame, but she would not, and
he determined tokill himself. Meeting the
girl, he invited her to take a walk, and he
again proposed, and when she refused drew
his revolver apd shot her.
A Brownsville, Tex., special gives a
full account of a fearful storm there apd at
Matamoras. The damage in that section
is estimated at $1,CO(J,000. In Brownsville
seventy small houses were blown down and
800 others partially unroofed and rendered
untenantable. Jn Matamoras dozens of the
beter class and hundreds of small houses
were prostrated, while 40.) to 500. others are
unroofed. In the country op he American
side of the river incalculable damage was
done. Countless beads of cattle and sheep
have been lost. Crops of cotton, corn and
sugar cane are completely prostrated and
destroyed.
At Springfield, HI., Capt. Kidd, editor
and proprietor of the Daily Monitor, was
assaulted without warning in a barber shop
by John F, Bretz, city superintendent of
streets, and brutally beaten. After knock
ing him down, Bretz stamped and kicked
the editor while unconscious until specta
tors interfered. No explanation of the
attack was offered, but it is supposed Bretz
was incensed by an editorial attack aupon
the practice of employing teams belonging
to city officials for city work, in which
Bretz's name was mentioned in an un
complimentary way.
Forty-thousand visitors were present
at the Evansville, Ind., Blue and Gray re
union. The feature of the day's pro
gramme was the industrial parade. It was
three hours passing a given point. In the
afternoon 30,000 people visited the reunion
grounds. Many distinguished officers and
visitors were there. Gov. Gray of Indiana
and Gov. Buckner of Kentucky were es
corted to the grounds amid the roar of the
cannon, the sounds of music and shouts of
spectators. Gov. Buckner made a short
talk. The artillery and zouaves prize drill

A telegram from Nogales, Arizona,
states that the major portion of Indians on
the San Carlos reservation have gone on
the war path. So far as can be learntd the
cause of the outbreak iswithout depth. So

on stock ranches have resulted in much loss
and the intrepidity outrivals all past ex-

and are standing on arms. Business has
almost entirely suspended, and the streets
are filled with people discussing the affair.
Frost In the vicinity of Lynchburg,
Va., has been so severe that it is believed
two-thirds of the tobacco crop of that
section is lost. A dispatch from Evansville,
Ind., says: No doubt that the growing
tobacco has been seriously injured: in the
region of country in southern Illinois and
Indiana and Kansas, of which this is the
center. Reports are general to this effect.
The tobacco in the bottom lands is badly
injured. It is too soon to venture reliable
estimates of loss on the crop.

At Annapolis, Md., Mrs, Mary
McNasby, wife of a furniture dealer cow
hided the wife of John Brown. The oow
hiding was a severe one, and is likely to be
the subject of an investigation before a

reported to have been a suspicion on Mrs.
McNasby's part of undue intimacy between
her husband and Mrs. Brown.

The first of the races for the
America's cup, between the Scotch
cutter Thistle and the 'American sloop
Volunteer was sailed on the 27th, over the
inside course of the New York Yacht club,
as required by the deed of gift governing
the possession of the cup, and the Yankee
sloop won in fine style. The distance sailed
was thirty-eight mileg. T|iere was not
wind enpugh to start the boats until 1W
hours after the time announced in the
official programme. When it came it was
light, but there was enough to enable the
yachts to complete the course well within
the time limited -in fact, with two hours to
spare. It was just the kind of weather
which admirers of the Thistle had
predicted would mean victory for the
Kcotch boat. It was just the sort of weather
which admirers of the Volunteer most
dreaded. Under these circumstances no
body would have been surprised had the
Thistle won. Everybody expected at least
a close race. But after the first twenty
minutes it was no race at all, it became a
procession with the Thistle falling further
and further astern. From start to finish
the Thistle stood no chance of winning. The
Volunteer went over the course in 4h 53 min.
18 sec. The Thistle's time was 5 h. 12 min.
46 sec. Thus the Thistle was beaten by 19
min. 28 sec. or, after crediting her with five
seconds time all allowance due her, by 19
min. 13 sec.

the repetition of such a proceeding, which
the government's action was eminentlv cal

MThe failure of Congressman Mac
Donald to get an oflBcer detailed from the
army for the Minnesota State University
was owing to the miserable law under
which such details are made. There are
forty officers on duty in state institutions.
The secretary of war apportions them ac
cording to population. Thus New York
has five, Pennsylvania and Ohio four each,
and soon down the bst. Minnesota is con
solidated with Nebraska, and one officer
detailed for two states. This is rank in
justice, but it is law. Judge MacDonald
says that he will see to it that the law
comports with equity in this matter, or
ascertain the reason whv during the
coming session of congressr The people
and the regents should not blame the war
department. Like all other executive de-
Egure-heasdthe

An instance of criminal carelessness
todk place two or three miles from Tyler,
Minn., which will undoubtedly result in the
death of James Miller, a boy aged fifteen
years. Mailer and another young man
named Most Peters were hunting mink with
revolvers and Miller shot one. Before
starting to pick up the mink he handed his
revolver to^Peters. 'ihe boys were standing
several rods apart when Peters asked Miller
how he would bke to be shot as he had shot
the mink, and Miller told him to shoot all
he wanted to there was nothing it. Peters
fired, the ball entering Miller's left lung and
lodging in his backbone. He was brought
to Tyler and placed under the care of Dr.
Cox, and in terrible agony begged his grief
stricken parents to shoot him and end his
suffering. PubUc sentiment is decidedly
unfavorable to Peters for the apparent crim
inal carelessness of the act.
At the sham battle, at the Minnesota

Mont, on^he 13th inst. Mr. O'Brien was
the son of Mr. James O'Brien, who former
ly lived in Blooming Prairie. His mother
is now a resident of Owatonna. It seems
that Mr. O'Brien had a claim in. the Flor

a lunch to the workmen, and while there
was shot by a man named Burgess and in
stantly killed. Burgess formerly owned
an interest in the mine, which had been

^Ortonville, Minn., has provided for
the issuance of water works bonds to the
amount of $6,000, and it is expected the city
will be abundantly provided with fire pro
tection before snow flies. Work will be
commenced at once and completed within
60 days. The tank system has been adopted,
and a 20,000-barrel tank will be erected on
the high ground near the court house,
which will give ahead of 10,000 feet, which
experts say will provide ample fire protec
tion. This will reduce insurance from 2 to
3 per cent.
