There are 1837 Convicts at Jefferson
City.
Two murderer, three petty thieves
and the only woman horse thief ev
er convicted in the state were the
detail escorted to penitentiary by
County Marshal Hugh McGowan a
few days ago. The life takers were
sentenced for terms of only two
years each, while one of the tbievs
will be compelled to put in ten years
for btealinc an old silver watch. The
woman was Clara Graham, and she
will suffer confinement for two years
unless the governor exorcises his
pardoning power in her behalf.
. Jackson county's contribution to
the penitentiary swelled the number
of convicts to 1,837, forty of whom
were women. Of the majority are
colored, and a few of them are de
tained for murder. The prison was
established in 1830 with eighteen
prisoners, and the advance of years
and the increase in crime the num
ber of inmates has swelled to its
present promotions, making it the
largest number of prisoners confined
in any penitentiary in the United
States. To properly handle this
army of zebra uniformed fellows
which includes every calling from
ministers of the gospel down to
common laborers, actors, doctors,
merchants and representatives of the
Salvation Arniy, it takes a large de
tail of guards, clerks and overseers.
Owing- to the continual expense of
erecting buildings and making im
provements for the safety of the of
fenders; the institution is not nor
Las it been self sustaining for years
as the state gets an average of only
25 cents a day for the labor perform
ed by the convicts. The contract
labor system prevails in this ctate,
and the contractors are the Gesifey
Shoo company' o( Jefferson City,' A.
Preisiner, Jefferson; Jefferson Shoe
company, Chicago; Standard, of
Cole county this state; J. S. Sullivan
Saddle Tree company, JeffersoBj and
Jacob Struss, manufacturer of sad
dlery, St. Louis.
In the shops and throughout the
prison discipline of the strictest
kind is maintained, and the men av
erage about eight hours work per
dy pf six working days. Shoe and.
boot-making tlie trimming out of
saddle IreetWd the manufacture
of saddlery; fcupjtes of variovsj&nds
are divided 'up among the mea-Jand
they are kqjt continually on one
kind of work.whicU prevents them
from becoming adapts at the trades.
Thro peWrfdtila considered advis
able by-tlre authorities, as when the
convicts time has expired it protects
the honest workingman from being
imposed upon by the interference of
who may have learned the trade un
der peculiar circumstances, which
they had worked hard fur years to
matter. . .
Five immense prisons, with cells
four and five floors high, are scat
tered about the large area of ground
and while it is found neccessary for
-want of space to put two, three and
four prisoners in a cell, there yet re
mains a scarcity of room and other
structures will have to be built De
spite this crowded condition of af
fairs everywhere about the place is
cleanliness, and many of the cells are
carpeted, and walls hung with pic
lures and ornaments, and hundreds
)f sweet canaries sing the livelong
day and to a degree dispel the cheer
lessness of the gloomy surround
ings. All the bread consumed is
made on the premises, and six bar
rels of flour is used daily in baking.
The beef slaughtering is all done
on the grounds, and some days as
many as four bullocks meet death
to supply the hunger of this mot
ley horde.
Si Louis and Kansas City, with
the counties in which the two cities
are located, furnish the majority
of the prisoners, and among them
are some of the hardest characters
known to criminal history. At times
the convicts become mixed in per
sonal quarrels, and on Friday last
, One Herman Braum,died from injur
ies from the hands of an infuriat
ed fellow convict by the name of
Smith, who will be tried for murder
as soon as his present term has ex
pired. .. Among those from Kansas City is
the notorious Jack Keith, who is
doing 22 years for highway rob
bery. Since he was detected and pun
ished for attempting to escape from
the prison he has become very do
cile and is trying very hard to rec
oncile himself to his fate. Jack is
not the happiest mortal on earth and
he continually insists that he is a
much abused man. He works in
the department allotted to the Jef
ferson Shoe company of Chicago,
and does his work uucomplainingly.
In the same room with Keith is
Ed. Gossard, who is there for twen
ty years for killing a man at Tiroli
garden in 1878. He is a telegraph
operator and does not enjoy the best
of health, lie looks pale and care
worn, and the chances of hi3 serving
out Lis full sentence are against
him.
William Graigand Charle Thomas
are also well known Kansas City
crooks, and were each sentenced to
thirty-eight years for higway rob
bery. They are well behaved and
perform the services exacted of them
with a will. There are many more of
less notoriety and of all who attract
attention of visitors "Deafy"' Smith
is most observed. He is enabled to
get "soft jobs" as he has but one
hand, baring dismembered the right
one while serving a term in the
Ohio penitentary to escape doing j
work. K. C News. . i

.Springfield, Mass., June 13.
There is great excitemen Jin Shel
burne.Falls, one of,themost thriving ,
towns in Deerfield valley, over the
possibility -that Sadawaga lake, in
Whitingham county, Vt., some dis
tance above may give way and flood
the valley, resulting in a fearful de
struction of life and property. The
lake covers 450 acres and is said to
contain nearly eight billion gallons
of water. The dam is very narrow
and about 28 feet high. The water
is over a mile in area and, 40 feet in
depth..! Iiias within a 4ek past
sprung a leak, but has been tempo
rarily patched up. Sadawaga lake
it on a side of a niouatain over 900
feet above Shelburne Falls, and in
.the event of a demolition that twoni;
-4'ouid experience a second Johns
town horror. The Deefield river on
which Shelburne Falls is located, is
notorious for its turbulence during
high water. So great has the ex
citement become all along the river
that a thorough investigation was
made and the dam will either be ie
paired or demolished.
A .New Creed.
I move a new creed for all the
evangelical churches of Christendom
only three articles in this creed and
no need of any more. If I had all
the consecrated people of all denom
inations of the earth on one great
plain, and I had voice loud enough
to put it to a vote, that creed would
be adopted with a unanimous vote
and a thundering aye that would
make the earth quake and the heav
ens ring with hosanna. This is the
creed I propose for all Christen
dom: Article 1. "God so loved the
world that He gave His only begot,
ten Son that whosoever believed on
Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life."
Article 2. "This is a faithful say
ing and worthy of all acceptance that
Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners even the chief."
Article 3. "Worthy is the Lamb
that was slain to receive blessinc
and riches, and honor, and glory and
pewer, world without end. Amen."
But you go to tinkering up your
old creeds, and patching and splic
ing, and interlining and annexing,
subtracting and adding and explain
ing, and you will lose time and make
yourself a target for earth and hell
to shoot at. Let us have creeds,
not fashioned out of human ingenui
ities, but one of scriptural phraseol
ogy, and all the guns of bombard
ment blazing from all the port-holes
of infidelity and perdition will not in
a thousand years knock off the
Church of God a splinter as big as
a cambric needle. Talmage.
Nevada, Ma, June 11. A chapter
of a rather romantic nature was de
veloped here to-day in the life of
Miss Emma Bond, whose terrible
suffering at Taborville, 111., In the
summer of 1S82 excited general sym
pathy all over the United States.
This morning, for the first time, she
was introduced as the wife of C. E.
Justus, of- Hepler, Kas. In -1S87
Miss Bond visited friends at Hepler,
and while there met Mr. Justus. The
meeting 'culminated in something
stronger than friendship, and last
October they met by agreement in
St. Louis and wore married . in the
parsonage of the First Christian
church. . - -
For reasons best known to them
selves they-decided to keep the mar
riage a secret, and succeeded in do
ing so until a few days since, when a
misplaced letter conveyed to the
wife's relatives the first iuformatipn
they obtained of the situation. Mr.
Justus was then conducting his
business, that of a wool merchant'
at Hepler, and the wife was ut Lei
home in IUinois. The discovery of
the letter was followed by an av.owal
of the truth and an arrangement to
live together. .
Sunday Mr. Justus reached .Neva
da and waited. berg, until his wife ar
rived to-day. They will visit friends
Of tho husband here, for a few . dayB
and then go to Hepler to live. Mrs.
Justus has apparently recovered
from the effects of the brutal treat
ment which- she suffered. She has
dark hair and blue eyes and is of
average stature and weight. Mr. J.
is 32 years of age.
Miss Buiid was a teacher in a
country school near Hillsboro, 111.,
and on June 29, 1882, after school
had been dismissed, she swept ami
dusted the school room, and just as
she was leaving someone dropped
from the loft, and tying her arms
with a shawl, a rope wa8 passed
about her body and she was pulled
to the loft above, where two other
men were concealed. While there
she was chloroformed and while un
conscious was assaulted repeatedly.
A number of severe wounds were in
flicted upon her person and for some
time liter life was despaired of. John
Montgomery, LeePettus, and Eman
uel Clementi were charged with the
crime, but owing to a failure to pos
itively identify them they were ac
quitted when brought to trial. The
most intense excitement prevailed
during the time of the trial, and at
one time a mob had a rope about
the neck of Montgomery, but Miss
Bond's father cut the rope and saved
his life.

The Premier Disagrees.
Berlin, June 13. The American
commisioners to the Samoan con
ference have received instructions
from Secretary Blaine in relation to
the protocol drawn up by the con
ference. Mr. Blaine disagrees with
several provisions of the protocol,
and also is of the opinion that Eng
land and Germany have not gone far
enough in respect to the rights con
ceded to the United States.
The conference has a sitting to
day to reeeive Mr. Blaine's reply.
The English and German commis
sioners will afterwards consider Mr.
Blaine's objections and decide upon
what policy they will pursue, and
upon the attitude which they adopt
depends the continuance of the con
ference. Cole Younger Still in Prison.
Stillwater, Minn., June 12. Cole
Younger, the notorious outlaw who
is in the penitentiary here with his
two brothers, was somewhat amused
to hear of his own death in Wyo
ming, and was at a loss how to ac
count for the report. He thinks he
would be willing to run the risk of
being drowned if he could only be
released from the states prison.
NEGROES REBELLING.
They Prepare to Run a Serrate State
Ticket in Ohio.
Cincinnati, O., June 12. Hon. Y.
Copeland, colored republican mem
ber of the Legislature who enjoys
the distinction of having received
the highest, vote ever cast for a col
ored man in Ohio, says in a public
card that the greatest dissatifaction
exists among the Ohio colored repub
licans. Gov. Foraker has done less
for them than Gov. Hoadly did, and
the national administration utterly
igiores them.
Copeland says this is because Har
rison personally dislikes the negro.
as a result of this snubbing the
Ohio blacks have concluded the re
publcans only want them for their
votes. Copeland says 5,000 colored
voters will remain away from the
polls this fall. This alone would
give Hamilton county and the Leg
islature' to the democrats. As the
incoming Legislature will probably
serve three years under the new
constitutional amendments, which
there h little doubt will carry, it
will elect " successors to b 3th Payne
and Sherman.
There is a large and influential class
of negroes who insist on positive ac
tion, and are circulating a call for a
State convention of blacks to nomi
nate a State ticket of their own race.
Such a ticket, the first of its kind
in any Northern State, would poll,
it is claimed, 15,000 votes. Cope
land says lie will not run for the
Legislature this fall, as he does not
believe he can be elected.

Ton Thousand Chinese Perish.
San Francisco, June 13. The
steamer City of Pekin arrived yester
day from Hong Kong, with Chineso
news. The Shanghai Courier of
May 10, contains news from a corre
spondent at Chung King that Lu
chow, a city of some importance,
was nearl' destroyed by fire a month
previous Seven out of eight gates
of the city were destroyed, and the
loss of life burned and trampled to
death is estimated at 10,000. The
Shanghai Courier says:
"In case this startling news is
true, it is a remarkable fact that it
has not reached Shanghai before
now, as it is just a month since the
fire was reported to have occurred.
Still this is not conclusive'proof that
a great disaster has not happened,
as a month is not too long a time for
a letter to reach Chung King. We
met a gentleman in Shanghai to-day
who was in Hankow and we told him
about the fire, mentioning that three-
fourths of the people of Lu chow had
been destroyed.
Deadly Duel With Knives.
Augustine, Tex., June 12. Rube
Polk, Jr., and George Audrey, two
young men of this city, fought a duel
to the death with bowie knives last
night for a woman. The men at
tended a party and left apparently
the best of friends. While on the
way home they quarreled over one
of the girls and dismounted and
drawing their knives fought it out
on the roadside. Polk was killed in
a few minutes. He was stabbed to
the heart and his jugular vein was
severed. Audrey received a fearful
cut in the side and one in the leg
'and was carried home from the bat
tle ground and told his friends to in
form the sheriff that he was ready
to give himself up.
