Judge Hammond ltcnmmls P. M.King to
the Custody of tho Sheriff.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 2.?E. S. Hammond,
district United States judge, h as
handed down bis decision in too now
famous case of P. M. King, the Seventh
l'ay Adventist. King was convicted a
war ago of Sabbath breaking by plowinn
on tho Sabbath, lie appealed to the
.Supreme Court and the sentence was
affirmed. Then the Adventists and
National Secular Union took up the
casr. Don M. Dickinson was engaged as
counsel and the case was taken to tho
Federal court last November on a writ
of habeas corpus, tho contention being
that the conviction was contrary to the
bill of rights of Tennessee and the constitution
of the United Statos, and that
the defendant was held prisoner by tho
Biicnii without duo process of law.
Judjje Hammond remands, the defendants
back to the custody of tho
sheriff, to pay tho line or servo timo in
lieu, according to sentence. The decision
is bused not so much on tho constitutionality
of .Sabbath laws as upon
the fact that King was convicted under
due nroceas of Tennessee law and it ig
not the province of the Federal Court to
review tho case.

With Pen and Ink, lie Makes Fifty
Dagos Murder and Burn Eight People
in One House?All flio Brum- ,
fields Wiped Out of Existence With
One Stroke of the Pen.
Catletthmurq, Ky., Auk- 2.?Wayne
county, W. Vs., was tho scene of ono of
the most horrible murders Friday night
that over blackened tho criminal calendar
of that State.
On tho night mentioned, a Mr. BrumHold,
liia wife and five children were
murdered in the most horrible manner
ipiaginablo and their bodies consumed
by flames.
The only theory advanced for'tho I
crime, as told by a Mr. Payne, just from |
the scene of the murder, is revenge and
the love of gold. On Friday night, about
midnight,
A PABTY OF FIFTY ITALIANS,
Employed as laborers at the Norfolk
Western railroad, became drunk and
started upon a tour of devastation. The
Brumficld family resided some distance
from tho railroad camp, and were
thought to have a considerable amount
of cash in their possession.
After raisintr a big noise, the Italians,
in a body, made their way to Brumfleld's
residence. After arriving at tho residence
admittance was demanded, but
refused by the inmates. Kails and clubs
were secured by the drunken dagos and
the doors and windows forced. Mr.
Brutnfielu and two half-grown sons
made a bravo fight in defense of their
home and life. The defenders fought
with desperation, using every available
article as weapons, but without avail,
as their number was llfteen to one.
AFTEU THE BIIAVE DEFENDERS
"Were brought to the floor with repeated
K1no>u iliuir ii-nra mnivlnmil In n tnnafr
cruel and cold-blooded manner. Tlicir
throats were cut from car to ear, and
their bodies repeatedly stabbed with
knives carried by thu Italians. After
disposing of the men folks, the now
infuriated dagos turned toward the
helpless women and children. Whether
tho women sufiered outrago is not
stated by my informant, but it is supposed
tney did. Mrs. Brumfield aud
her three little children were the noxt
victims of the drunken devils. After
completing their hellish work tho dagos
searched tho house for valuables and
then completed their work by sotting
fire to the house, consuming the bodies.
FOIt Tllh REAL MOTIVE
Of tho crime we rnnst look further than
surface indications, the theory advanced
by Beveral persons. Mr. BrumfleKl
is a very prominent and influential
and wealthy citizen of Wayne county.
Some two or three years since he was
elected as a county commissioner.
About that timo the question of a
now Court IIouso at Wayne C. II. was
beinit discussed. Mr. Brumfield opposed
a?. . i a.:.- .t n- v..:i.i! * a.
(lie crcciiUli vi iiiu ?t'iv uuiuiiiig mvaij
bitterly, and made many enemies bv his
actions. The Court Itouse was built
and it is thought that Friday night's
work was tho result. BrumfielcTs enemies
plied the Diijjos with liquor until
drunk, then pointed out the path to the
residence, and paid money for the commission
of tho crime. The citizens of
Wayne county are most thoroughly
wrought up over the terriblo murders
and propose hunting down the fiends
and seeing them swing for the awiul
crimes.
A lynching bee is fully expected in
case any of the murderers" are captured.
The scene of tho crime is thirty-flvo
miles distant from here and re'moto
from telegraphic communication.

A FUNNY FRACAS.
A Preacher Charged With Attempted
Abortion nnd Arrested to Keep 111m Out
of Church.
Boston, Aug. 2.?For somo time past
there lias been troublo in the Twelfth
Baptist Church society (colored), whose
church is located on Philips street. The
church has been without a pastor for
several months, and a call on behalf of
a portion of the members was recently
extended to Rev. Henry 11. Harris, a
former pastor.
Mr. Harris has been resting undor a
criminal charge, and owing to this fact
there was a strong element in the
church opposed to his becoming their
pastor. It was announced that he
would preach to-day nnd the opposing
faction -was bound, if possible, to prevent
him. About three o'clock this
morning us one of the Harris men wns
finning tho church ho noticed a
iglit within mid quickly summoning
eight or tun friends, including tho sexton,
they affected an entrance ?to the
church where seven of the anti-Harris ;
men were found busily engaged in nail- ]
ing and boarding up all tho doors and
windows, while a large placard had
been prepared announcing tho church '
would be closed until September. J
After n long discussion the anti- :
Harris party was ejected from tho
building. This forenoon, however, ono
of their number sworo out a warrant
charging l!ev. Mr. Harris with perform- .
ing an abortion, with a view to preventing
his appearance in pulpit to-day.
Mr. Harris learning of tliis action ,
went to police station whoro the warrant
was read to him and was released 1
on Sl.OOO bail. Acccompanicd by n '
special oliicor ho then proceeded to the
cnurch, where he preached a strong
sermon, making only incidental allusion
to his trouble.

Omaha and Grant smelting works over
the eight-hour day took on more serious
aspoct to-day. Men have been working
eleven and thirteen hour shifts and
have many times agitated tho question
of tho shifts of eight hours each.
When tho oight hour law went into
ofloct Saturday the company handed
tho inon ennt rurtu hindinir tlium to work
tho a a n 10 hours for tho same pay 119 before.
Tlio men were not willing to do
this and wero naked to report to tho
main oflice of the company in writing.
Bcver.il did so report and were promptly
discharged. This created dissatisfaction
ana all last night niuttorings of
discontont were heard.
A strong force of policoiras put on
guard at tho works and tho trouble was
avoided at the time. At 7 o'clock tonight
the day shift asacmbled at tho

When liquor and oratory had sufficiently
aroused tho men tlioy marched

Tiiikii, Aug. 2.?The "Holy Coat of

been wojn by tho Saviour, will bo exhibited
at tho Cathedral here for six
weeks, beginning August 18. Fully
2,000,000 pilgrims nro expected to visit
Trier during that time. An earnest and
long controversy has boen waged regarding
tho genuineness of tho relic. It has
been exhibited only twico during this
century?in 1810 and 1844. Many miracles
are said to havo been performed
by this robe, ami it is thought still to
possess great merit. Tho relic is said to
have been given as a present to tho
Bishopric of Trier by St. Helen, the
mother of Emperor Constnntin, upon
the latter's conversion to Christianity.
The robe itself i&A_ tunic about live
feet long, cut narrow at the shoulders
and gradually widening toward the
knees. It is woven out of one piece,
without any scam whatever. Tho material
is thought to havo been linen, but
its great ace prevents auy exact examination.
It is inclosed in an outer cas^
ing of purple and cold cloth, supposed
to liavo been added Home time in tho
seventh century in order to preservo
tho relic. During tho exhibition extra

That Is tho Chnractcr or tho Ilusiion Articlo
Toward the French. t
London, Aug 2.?According to semiofficial
descriptions and dispatches published
in thu French newspapers, Jlussian
enthusiasm ior France ha* keen
unbounded, and tho hearts of tho two
nations now boat as one. But reports
from impartial and unemotional observers
fully bear out tho statements
as to tho artificial character of tho enthusiasm,
so far as the Itussian pooplo
are concerned, made ip this correspondence
a week ago. Tho St. Petersburg
correspondent of tho Timet, for instance,
telegraphs to-day: "On the tield of
Mars, on t ho occasion of the visit there
of soiuo 200 French sailors, Prefect of
Pollco Groesser and hi# oillccra stationed
iu various parts, ordered tho
populace to shout and hurrah, so unused
is tho Moujlk to spontaneous utterance
of emotions."
The announcement that tho Scot is to
visit England, and to be feted on a scale
almost equal to the Kussiun, momentarily
disconcerted the French Chauvinists,
but they quickly found consolation
in the reflection" that such a visit
must Indicate that England has not
joined the triple alliance, and that she
may be persuaded to throw in her lot
with Jiussia and France.

demand for Germany, bnt the influx

pounds due from Australia. American
railroads suffered under the New
York depression. Some tendency existod
hero early in tho week to take
advantage of the low values. Persistent
AVall strcot orders to sell kept everything
down. Cable inquiries daily
showed that alarmist rumors here worn
exaggerated in Wall Btreet with a view
to breaking down prices. There were
appreciable svmptons yesterday of a recovery.
Somo dealings after the official
hoars indicated a distinctly better feeling,
creating u hopoof general improvement

his mother on 'Wednesdoy at San
Sebastian to receive tho ambassadors
sent by tho Sultan of Morocco to romove
tho misunderstandings which

hiB part with great success, and at thu
conclusion won all hearts by toddling
oir with the chief ambassador to show
him a superb collection of Toledo arms,
tapestries, silver and gold tea services
and other presents destined for tho Sul
tan.
The ceremony by all accounts was extremely
imposing, but that which
struck one observer most strongly was
"the strange reseiublunco noticeable between
the features of many of the Spanish
noblemen and officers and that of
their proud, silont and reservod Moorish
guests, whoso stately mein, distinguished
manners ami tine, tall figures
were as striking as their Oriental garb
and arms."
