tgutcka mails Sentinel SUNDAY.DECEMBER 83,1888. ■IS. CAPT. HILLER. The New Orleans newspapers severely criticise the Treasury Department’s re jection of Mrs. Mary Miller’s applica tion for a license as master of a steam boat, the ground of rejection being that she is a woman. She has spent her life on the Mississippi, and her husband’s age has necessitated her learning all the intricacies of that great national high way. She is twenty years younger than her husband, and has navigated his boat for some years, and all the pilots recog nize her skill. So constantly has she been in the boat that two or three of her children wire born in its cabin. Her daugt ver, 'k pretty girl of ten years, as sists he in managing affairs in the Cap tain’s Hv >- craft, which is navigating the bay'' * that sre tributary to the Black and Ouachita rivers. The aged Captain is compelled to spend most of his time in repose in the cabin. ha it doling. * The Swiss ought to be good judges of approaching wars. For centuries genera tion after generation of this most peculiarly situated people have been forced to watch all the signs of trouble, in all quarters of Europe. If special faculties are made keen by constant use under pressure of danger and necessity, and if the same conditions continue from century to century, the Swiss ought to be as sensitive to the approach of serious Enropean conflicts as muskrats are to the signs of a cold Winter. It is, then, no alight warning that was yesterday given by M. Reichonnet, “head of the Political Department of the Swiss Council,” when, speaking at a banquet in Berne, he said: "Be on your guard. Let the Swiss people prepare to defend their country. Many black clouds are gathering on the European horizon. War, long averted, will hardly be escaped after 1884. It may even come next Spring.” VIEW FKOS THE OUTSIDE. The French workingmen who have been sent to this country to look into the condition of the workingmen here would naturally be selected for their good judg ment and observation. An opinion from such a source ought to carry weight. One of them, on being asked what he thought of the condition of the working men of this country, replied: “The salary of the mechanic in America at first appears very high; nevertheless, I do not believe that his position is superior to that of the mechanic at home, when we take into account the number of strikes and the amount of money it takeB to live here.” We would direct the attention of those who preach “a high tariff means high wages to labor'’ to this opinion. _ BALLOT BOX STUFFING AT CHURCH FAIRS. Ballot box stuffing is a new and excit ing feature of Church Fairs. The custom has been introduced in Canada. At St. Paul’s Church, in Kingston, Ont., on Thursday night, there was a sharp con test for election as the "most popular man” between Dr. Sullivan and Mr. Harty. Friends of the former finally made a rush, seized the box, stuffed it full of ballots, and carried away the prize, in spite of protests. The grab bag lottery, the prize cake in which all the slices but one are blanks, and the diluted oyster stew, have at last borne their legitimate fruits. It is time to reform the Church Fair. A WAR HOSUMENT. One of the most striking evidences of the impoverishment and humiliation of the South in the war of the rebellion is to be seen at Columbia, the capital of South Carolina. The State House, which has been for many years in an unfinished condition, was planned to be a magnifi cent edifice with a dome like that of the Federal Capitol. Now Corinthian col umns and great blocks of granite lie around in the yard, just as they were delivered by the stonecutters; the groined roof is unplastered; the caps of the pillars are unoarved, and instead of a sightly dome there is a half story of clapboards with a tin roof. WHERE WILL IT ESBT Mr. Horr yesterday asked leave to offer a resolution that the House instruct the President to ascertain whether the sev eral persons recently murdered at Dan ville were citizens of the United States, and if so, whether the murders were in violation of the provisions of the munici pal law of Virginia or any law of the United States. Where is this Federal intervention to end ? If the National Government undertakes to review the trial of every citizen convicted in any State it will obviously have little time to attend to any other business. ADVANTAGE OF TEMPERANCE. When Weston started the other day from Westminster Bridge to walk fifty miles a day for 100 days, to illustrate the physical advantages of temperance, a crowd of distinguished doctors and emi; nent clergymen and benevolent baronets and fair ladies gathered to see him off, and he started to the strains of a temper aaoe hymn. EASTERN NEWS. Ex-Senator Spencer Purged of Contempt. HE CONTEMPLATES BRINGING SUIT FOR DAMAGES. Excitement Over the Late Gold Die coveriei at Las Vegas. AN INTERVIEW WITH GOV. MURRAY OF UTAH. Lillie Sinnott Accidently Shot by a Servant Girl. [SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL. 1 Washington, Dec. 22.—In the Criminal Court Judge Wylie rendered s decision In the case of ex-Senator Spencer, charged with contempt of Court, In falling to appear In the Star Boute trial. The Judge held that the subpena waa not a subpena, because there was no penalty to U. It ordered the ex-Senator to appear, but limited the time to one day. The subpena, by error, the Judge Bald, waa for civil and not criminal cases. The ex-Senator would be sworu that he was here before the time ordered by the so-called anbpena. He re mained here two weeks; had songht an Inter view with one of the connael, but waa nnable to secure one. Under theee circumstances, and owing to the fact that the subpena bad been Improperly aerved and returned, the Judge held that the case waa not one of con tempt, and discharged the prisoner. Dnring his remarks. Judge Wylie eaid there was no doubt that the object of the ex-Nenstor In going abroad last year was to avoid the Star Boute trial then in progress. What his fttauns were for wanting to avoid the trial the Judge did not know. Spencer says he contemplates bringing a suit for damages. Being inter viewed to-day, he said that an investigation of the Star Boute trials by Congress will be urged, the object being to learn why some per sons were tried and others not, and why so much money was paid to the Government attorneys. Dorsey was bnt a small fry In the Star Route cases. 2 he Western men are deeper in than he, eaid Spencer. me new uoia Ilia in new HMini. Topeka, Si., Dec. 22.—Advices from Lts Vegas, N. M„ Indicates that there Is great ex citement among the citizens in regard to the late gold discoveries. Gold is said to have been fonnd in paying quantities on a lot at Hot Springs, owned by a prominent resident of Topeka a few days ago, by two miners em ployed to assist in the excavation of ground for a new $100,000 Courthouse. The next morning they were up with the lark, staking out mining claims in the courtyard and the valleys around Vegas, all of which is swarm ing with gold seekers, many of whom have met with success. Light business men formed a company, purchased an interest in the court yard and will try to develop it. A few years ago Elizabethtown, near Las Vegas, had a population of 5,000 gold miners, and for a number of years a company engaged in hy draulic mining took out $50,000 annually. There,1s no doubt aa to the presence of gold in paying quantities. The city of Las Vegas is a mining camp that even ladies are being found among the prospectors. Some Colorado capitalists are already on the ground investi gating the extent and richness of the deposits. Gov. Murray Interviewed. Chicaoo, Dec. 22.—Gov. M array of Utah passed through the city on his way to Salt Lake yesterday. He was accompanied by his family and Mrs. E. L. Dudley, who, with the Governor, have been spending a couple of mouths at Louisville, Ky. A reporter asked him about the Mormon question. “You have read the bills, probably, which have already been presented in Congress ?” “I have read the several bills, and none of them have struck me so favorably as that pre pared by Cullom of Illinois. That seems to cover the ground which the President recom mends in his annual message, and it recom mends a measure which I have suggested as the most feasible in my reports. I am in favor of Oollom’s measure, and the feeling is very strong in Vfashlngton that it will be passed.” The Governor and his party left during the day for Salt Lake City. A 'Triplicate Murder. Galveston, Dec. 22.—A News Biddings special says: At 2:25 o'clock yesterday Jim Taylor (colored) was hang for the mnrder of Sarah Ohsppel (colored). The execatlon waa neat and quiet. Taylor made an Incoherent speech of ten minutes, confessing his crime and expressing sorrow. There wse a crowd of 3,CDO, mostly negroes. In August, 1882, Taylor inveigled the woman Chsppel into a field, where he assaulted and outraged her, she threatening exposure. Taylor deliberately threw her on the ground, stabbed her twice m the neck, and then cat her throat. When the scene wae visited by the officers, Sarah Chap pei'a body was discovered hidden in a water hole, and in addition was found the lifeless body of a 6-month-old Infant. On taking the woman’s remains from the water another dead infant came to light, showing s triplicate murder. Admitted to Bull. Kansas Oitx, Mo., Dec. 21 —Frank James passed through the city this morning en route from Galveston, in charge of Sheriff Davies at Independence. Be was delivered into the oustody of his bondsmen in this county, in acoordanoe with an order of the Gallatin court. This afternoon he came here and acknowledged service of the warrant charging him with the robbery of United Stetes Paymaster Shoals in Alsbams, in 1882. A motion was made be fore Judge Orekel of the U. 8. Court, In cham bers, to deliver the prisoner into the custody of his bondsmen, on the ground that the prose cution must be disposed of before s trial In the Federal court. The Court deferred de cision until to-morrow, and in the meanwhile to admit the prisoner to temporary ball of $3,000. AMldsnUy Shot. New Yobk, Deo. 21.—Lillis Slnnot, daughter ef a wealthy liquor dealer, waa probably fatally shot by Sarah Ohancey, a servant of the family. Lillie went to the kitchen to attend to some household duties. Boon after a pistol shot was heard, and she waa found lying on the floor uncontcious, with s bullet wound below the right eye. Though the shooting was soddentsl tbs servant disappeared. Over 1,000 Idle Hen. Pittsbubo, Deo. 22.—The strike of coal min ers in the third pool is being pushed; only two miners ar* new working, and a reduction is expected of the men that oome out of them in the next forty-eight hours. The mining officials report over 1,000 idle men in the third pool. Want Lotteries Suppressed. New Oblxans, Dec. 22.—The Louisians Dem ocratic State Convention adopted a resolution demanding laws to suppress lotteries, which demoralizes society and corrupts politics. Will Prosecute. Washington, Dec. 22.—Attorney General Brewster has gone to New Orleans, where he will prosecute the lottery cases. The young-man who pa/s $60 for a suit of clothes Ts always ready to borrow the money from another man who pays $20 a suit. There’s a moral to this, boys. The Congressional labor investigation revealed the fact thet Jay Oould received his first lesson in watering* stock while working oa a farm. PACIFIC COAST ADVICES. [SPECIAL TO THE SEVTIEEL.j Tbe Caplsre of Red Sample and Tex Willis Toxbbtosb, Dec. 22.—Sheriff Ward arrived from Olllton at 1 p. x. to-day, having In cus tody Bed Sample and Tex Willis, two of tbe supposed Blabee murderers. They were ac companied by Deputy Bherilh John Hoove y, W. W. Bush of Graham county, who led the posse which captured the prisoners. The party came from Lordaburg to Benson by freight train. The wisdom of this course is demonstrated by the fact that the passenger train was searched last night at Wlllcox by a score of armed men, thirsting for the lives of the prisoner*. Under Sheriff Wallace, who had been apprised by telegr.ph of the hour when the Sheriff and his priaonera would ar rive, kept the matter a secret from the general public, fearing that an attempt might be made to lynch the prisoners. Deputy Sheriffs Bob Hatch and Fred Ward met the party at Fair banks, where an express wagon was waiting, which conveyed the officers and their pris oners to this place. Ho well bad the plans of Under Sheriff Wallace been perfected scarcely a dozen people besides the attaches of the Sheriff's office were present at the Courthouse. When the prisoners’ feet were chained together, they were assisted from the wagon and then escorted to the building from which they will probably never again emerge until they take their places under tbe shadow of the gallows. Red Sample is a man about 8 feet 10 Inches high, with blue eyes acd light complexion, and heavy blonde mous tache. His companion, Tex Willis, is 2 or 3 Inches shorter, with piercing gray eyes, light oomplexlon, and square-cut lower jaw; the general expression of his countenance being that of recklessness and daring. Neither of them have the appearance of being hardened criminals, which they probably are. Both are in the vicinity of 30 years cf age. In accord ance with tbe wishes of the citizens of Co chise county, Judge Pinney, ef tbe District Court, has ordered a special Grand Jury to be convened at once, to Inquire into the facts of the Blsbee murder and robbery.
