atitude, unless such cattle be liuid In tiuaiau-
tine ninety d.iyi nor h of said 3oth degree ot

quarantine grounds out of a (i.ood.y por

of others and cause complete destruction to
the grass, which we deem ourselves entitled to
in t lie same octree as do our friends, either
north or south of us, regard their right to their

Whereas. We have just rea bns to believe
that there would be no attempt made on the
part of Texas men to drive their cattle onto our
ranges were it not for the inducements offered
under said Colorado quarantine law, toge her
with the assurance on the part of so,ue of
thosu north of us, who are desirous of purchas
ing Tex:ts cattle, that said law can be evaded.
Therefore be lc
Kesolved. First, for the reason that
said law is Calculated io in
flict injury to those who are
unfortunately located unon the quarantine
grounds thus created by said law, that we do
condemun me same as Dcing unjust in me ex-
reme.
Second, That we earnestly protest against
the appointment of such men as are known to
be the heaviest bidders for Texas cattle, as
members of the live stock, sanitary veterenary
bi ard of the Slate of Colorado.
Third. That we will. ty all means In our
power, prevent the adopting of our ranges and
the ranges it our neighbors, as quarantine

Chicago, April 30. The Louisville express,
on the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago
Kailroi.d, due here at 8 o'clock this morning,
was stopped near Harrodsburg Ind., shortly
before midnight, by a band of masked robbers,
who compelled the enineer and fireman to
leave the engine. Entering the express c-ir.
the American Express messenger was covered
with revolvers, aud refusing to unlock the safe
wa shot dead. The safe was broken open, but
lound to contain but 400. The sc-ne of the
roobery is among the hills and stone quarries,
and is but thinly settled.
Another Accouut.
Indinapolis, Aptil 30. The express
matter in the . L. N. A. & C. train
was earned m the baggage car, which is occu
lted by messenger aud "baggage-master. It
was, as usuali the first car on the tram. The
messenger's name was George N. Davis, oi
Louisville. Last night at 11 o ch.ck the train
reached Harrodsburg, Owen County, a local
station, the third below Bloomlrgton. It bas
a population of not more than four hundred
soulf , aud at that time of niglit as quiet as the
grave. It is, iu round figures, 112 miles from
Lafayette. There is a water tank
at ilorroasDUi g, ana me iraia sioipeu mere
four or five minutes to replenish the engine.
While it was at a stand-still one of the passen
gers in a sieeping-c.r, J. ti. aamuiou, oi
Greeucastle, happened to be looking out of
the window, and by the reflected light of the
engine and lrom the car-windows, taw a man
emerge aonarentlv from under the trucks, and
d.sappear in the direction of the engine. Iu
the brief g'.impse nr. iiactiuon nau oi me
man, hi saia he was above medium higut,
dressed in the tattered garments of a va-erant.-and
carried a stick in his hand-a club
for a stick. He naturally suposes him to
be some tramp, who was pstealing a
ride under the tiucks and dismissed the mat
ter fr m ills mind.
Meantime the engine had taken water and
started. Nothing unusual occurred until the j
Utile statlou of Smlthville Hid. about two
miles Norh ot Harrodsburg, was reached.
A sharo ring oi the bell on the enuine stopped
the tralu. Befere an inquiry as to who pulled
the bell rope could be made, the baggage mas
ter fluug open the door of the smoking cr and
reeled, covered with blood that trickled from
a ghastly wound in the head. He sank on his
knte- between the forward seats and gasped
out to the horrified passengers who rushed
to him, that a rooner naci enterra
the bagae car, and shot himself and the
express messenger. This was all he was able
to say, when he fell unconscious on his face.
By that time, Conductor Chamberlln was at
his sine, aud, with a few of the more intrepid
passengers, maae nn way mio me uaggage
car. A siugle lantern, turned low, anu swtug-
icg from a hook iuthe ecu ng, cast a aim
light over tne iriguiiui scene, jmvis wa?
stretched in a pcol of blood by the
side of his safe, which' ws
broken open and plundered. Everywnere
was evidence of a terrific struggle. The floor
as litteted with papers mat tne assassin
id taken from the chest, and deeming worth
less, threw awav. The heavy boxes which
stood 1j the car were scattered atound in con
fusion. Davis was l.fted and carnett into tne
smoker. He was breathing, but it was evident
bt. was wounded to. the death. He haa been
shotlu the upper parr, of the head, a piece of
sKuti as large as a sqver aouar ueuig meiauv
blown off. From this apperture blood and
brains freely oozed.
Webber, the baggage master, gives the fol
lowing accouut of the affair: "When the train
slopped at Harrodsburg, he and Davis were
asleep on their train chests. Both doors of
the car were open and they had no suspicion
of auy thing wrong. Just as the train got into
nionon, weDDerwasawucenea oy a violent

he also had evidently been struck with a cmt
while he was asleep. The Diuogeon wu
which this had been done alage hickory
stick lay on the floor, covered.with blood and
hair. Webber was too badly hurt to take a
part in the fight, and felt to the floor. The

Gov. Oglesby's Proclamation
St. LOTJis.Amil 29. The recent proclama

motion in various, parts oi , tne stat, ana
strong condemnation of and opposition to it is
crouulne out in all directiois. Gov. Manna
duka has telegraphed Gov. Oglesby, asking
him to reconsider his action in declaring quar
antine against Missouri. An opinion prevails
that Gov. Oglesby's proclamation is with-,
out authority of law, and it is asterted
that if the officers of Illinois attempt to enforce
it as It now stands, the Fed sr d con.-ts will be
invoked for relief, xnis iq oasea on a decision
of the United States Supreme Court that no
State can make an indiscriminate prohibition
against tne admission et cattle irom anotuer
State, and can only exclude such cattle as
prove upon inspection, or other authority, to be
actually aiseasea. .

The face was badly - discolored and
bioat-ed, a-d the stench was no
great that it kept at a safe distance the large
crowd which quickly gathered. The trunk
was a common wooden one, and evidently had
not been used before. It arrived here from
Chicago over the Pittsburg. Ft. Wayne and
Chicago Railway, at 1:20 a. in., on the morning
express, and was cbect ed 4,171 , but no person
called to claim it. The baggage-master no
ticed a peculiar saiell wh.u It was unloaded
from the train this morning, but no
attention was paid to it till
this evening, whtsn the stench was unbearable.
After a consultation the railway officials de
cided to open it, and the result was a ghastly
discovery.
The body, in order to get it into the trunk,
had beu bent almost double. Aroun4 the
neck, arms aud legs was a tiemn cord about
one-eighth of an inch in thickness, which
had been drawn so tight that It bad cut deep

of violence, and so far as conld be asc-rtnfned
from aa outward examination the stomach was

a laboring man, probably thirty years eld. of
short, heavy build, with a smooth face. He
was dressed in a pair of ehecked woolen cants:

Galveston. May l. The Mayoral y con
test between Ex-Mayor Fulton aid acting
Mayor Atkins took a new and unexpected turn
today. The sleuth hounds of investiga
tion got on tne ngut scent when
thev stat ted out to investigate
the frauds in the alderman lc contest between
Cuney and Allen . After seating turn y they
iook up tne -rial again, ana to-aay tne uig
wolf was fairly run to cover, where he Iras

Hunt. When the Council met to-day, in com
mittee of the whole, the contestant (Fulton)
through his Attorneys, immediately began
proving the fraui uleut character of the re
turns from the Eleventh Ward. These returns
had already been proven so putrid that Atkins
was unable, through hi witnesses, to po!nt
out a single genuine ballot in the Eleventh
Ward box. His entire defense con
sisted of an exhaustive document
labori-msly aliening, in a superficial manner,
the existence of fraudulent ballots iu tlie
boxes of the other w ards. For Instance, In
the 7th Ward Atkins alleges the nernet atlou
of such hnlous offences agalust tbe elect on
laws as vtne pasting together of one ballot,"
another ballot he alleges "had a circle upon it
made with a pencil; while s''ll another was
"scratched with a blue pencil-'- In this man
ner be enumerated perhap a hundred petty
Irregularities. The attorneys Jor Atkins, at
tne conclusion oi tne evidence oitered by Ful
ton, attem.ted to call witnesses and prove for
whom they voted lor iayor in the Eleventh
Ward Fulton objected to it on the. ground that
to show for whom they voted would be equiva
lent to holding an election at a time and man
ner tot provided for by law. The committee
sustained this objection, and, on mot on of Al
derman Lee, by a vote ot
six to three the testimony offered by
Atkins, was rejected. This brought ou tbe
crisis. The attorneys for Atkins, after a hast v
consH.tation, re-entered the Chamber and
threw bomb shell In the camp by announc
ing that Atkins withdrew his case from tur
ner consideration ot the council.
aud said lie would appeal to a more learned trl -bunal.
The strangest part of the proceedings
was the pompous announcement by the junior
attorney .that he took the responsibility of say
ing that the coutestee (Atkins) would contin
ue to hold the office of Mayor pend
ing the discussion ot the case by the courts.
This is the rub: Fulton with the Eleventh
Ward thrown out. has an undisputed malorliy
ef 91 votes, yet Atkins refuses to abide by any
result tne city council may aeternuue, ana ae
Bantly declares war by unnounciug he will

council does, until disposed by a more "learned
tnounai." ine situation to-nigni is one oi ap -prchenkive
anxiety.
as so n as AtKins witnarew irom tne con
test to avoid his impending defeat, he repaired
to his office and immediately began a whole
sale decapitation orth e old and tried members
ot the city police force. By nightfall he had
summarily d'smbsed twenty policemen, in
cluding two aetectivea; also discharged some
minor employes. Some days ago he dis
charged thirteen policemen, including Chief
Police Jerdoii", and appointed others in their
stead. Thus, to-night the entire poUce
force of the city are new men. every one
of whom is a strong partisan oe
Atkins, it certainly looks as though Atkius
was preparing to ahvslcallv resist the order of
the City Council hurling him from office. That
such a mandate will be issued to-morrow no
body doubts. Excitement over the probable
outcome is apparent everywhere. The popular
reeling is decidedly against- Atkins ana nis
methods. .

vetle. Streiok, after leaving this port Tuesday
night; passed out to sea and is now supposed
to beou her way to New York.
Second Secr.tary Gregor of the Russian Le
gation, arrived here yesterday, but left at
once for Washington, when-he learned that
tne streioa naa a?partea. rut Brit
ish ship Garnet is still at Old Point Comfort.
but It is thought will follow tbe Streiok at once.
The Russian ship seems to have given her an
tagonist the slip. The Garnet was close by
the Streiok nutil Monday, when she dronued
down to fortress Munroe. Under our interna
tional laws the Garnet cannot follow under
twenty-iouf hours, it ner purpose is to outrage
the Streiok. The Streiok has a speed of fit-
teen knuts against the Garnet's thirteen, aud
nergun. are oi mucn longer range man are
thoe of the Garnet. It the Garuet should at
tempt to engage her she would first have to
fin tbe Strtflok outside, and then the Streiok
might keep just outside of range of her antago
nist: and yet, with her superior guns, play up
on the Garnet. This gives the lfu si ui snip a
big advantage, and although she is a smaller
ship, she would prove a formidable antagonist
to the representative oi the British lioa.
