Abduction Cdse.--A mother abduction case. il
said, is now occupying the attention of the Seed
tary of State, the particulars Of which have bed
furnished by an anonymous correspondent 10
Baltimore paper. He says:
r In the year 1882, the friendly aid of the Cso
vernment Of the United States was asled bv th
King Of Holland, through the minister. resident &
Washington, TO facilitate the recovery of she jewek
belonging 10 the Princess of Orange, which I'D
been stolen, and were supposed to have been con
veyed 10 the United States. These Jewels wei
valued at a million of dollars. The Prince 1
Orange was accused by the public voice as bel d
the thief who robbed the Princess OF her iewek
which had been presented TO her by her father th
Emperor OF Russia, md the object OF The King
discovering the thief was 10 excu!pate his son. lh
Prince, and II was this that induced the Cover
ment Of the United States to interfere in the md
ter. The promises of the King Of Holland and
his minister here were very liberal. Mr. s.,
lawyer Of New York, who had been promso
$4,000 reward, succeeded in arresiing the ths d
and recovering the jewels; but no sooner we
they recoyered than those promises were broke
and he told by the minister of the King
Holland that $4,000 out of the $50 900 offerS Z
to him had been paid TO certain persons for hayi

Ii is asserted that this affair has been herelofoo
represented to our minister at the Hague but ii
he strangely neglected refused TO present it 4
the King, lest il might render him unpopular al 1

when It was presented to the consideration of Is

From the Arkansas Democrat

Marion Connty.-An intelligent resident of Ma.
ron county, writing to a gentleman of this city,
makes the following remarks relative to the recen,
affair in that county. The letter is dated at
YELLvILLE. Sept. II, lS49.
p" You may probably have been apprsed of an
old teud OF some twelve years standing between
the TUFTS and Evereits Of this county, in copse.
quence of which it is alleged by the one party,
that three of the Kings were murdered in cold
blood. On the other hand it is maintained by fbe
Everetts and others who had charge of the pri.
soner Looms King, (who sometime since in ge.
neral melee at Yellville, killed Isaac B. Everett
that he attempted to escape, when his father and
cousin interfered to prevent the guard from recap
turing him. This is the issue between the two
parties, and it is sustained by the fact that when
the sheriff and the others who constituted the pa r,y
OF the guard. surrendered themselves 10 the civil
authorities and demanded a trial, the surviving
Kings, James and Hosea, who witnessed the kill.
ing, could not be found.
1t is hard case that the civil portion of this
community, without violating the laws, cannot be
permitted TO enjoy the peace and harmony which
would reign here but for the presence of few
turbulent spirits. Let them leave the country.
and we shall have remaining as orderly and law.

democrats ruled, and although the taxes are so
per cent. higher than they were then, the State
debt is increased $4,000. In 1924, 1884, and
1894. under democ ratio rule, one per cent. was
snfhclent to defray all the State expenses, now a
tax OF one and half per cent leaves the State

THE STEAM FLOUR MILL,

1t is with much pleasure we notice the COM
mencement of business in this establishment. The
machinery and running gear being entirely new,
the quantity Of -four made in day is not great
as may be expected. when everything is in work
ing trim, but we learn that even now it makes
over 40 barrels of -four per day. Considerable
Improvements have been made in the boiling ope.
ration, so that the flour comes forth entirely d.
vested of bran and dust. We have seen a spe-
cmen of the -four, and hesitate not to pronounce
it of superior quality. The gentlemen control-
ing the machinery and mill are skilfu and scien-
,i6c workmen. Under the propretorship of our
indefatgable and enterprising fellow-citizen. Capt
PHILIP .PENNYwIr,. i, cannot foil to prove source
of profit to him, and decided advantage to the
growing interests of our young city. We hope,
too, that this enterprise may act as an incen-
tive to other capitalists, and we predict the day is
not far distant when our city will contain mills
and manufactures for purposes not less useful
than the Flour Mill. Had we a few more per-
sons as enierprising as Captain P. in our city.
whose attention and capital could be invested in
The manufacture of domestics, the whole surround.
ing country might be supplied, to the consumer,
at as cheap rate as our merchants now pay at

Der of opera tives necessary TO conduct such ma
nufactories would increase our population, and
not one alone. but every man would be gamer.
At the Flour Mill our farmers will always find
a ready and cash ma arket for wheat, and the gen.
teman engaged at the mill, kind, courteous, and
obliging. We have heard it said that the raising
of wheat in our County would be more profitable
than growing cotton and the farmers of Crawford
will find it advantageous now, from the fact that
they can dispose Of it at the Mill at any time and
at good price. Now that we have a mill here,
we think it incumbent every man to lend a
hand, and not let the enterprise anquish for the
want Of necessary support.

ceedng was under the authority of General Riley
or the President, without information. 1t
is great assumption of power, whether it be done
by the President or the General, TO establish ci-
vii government, which belongs only to Congress
to do. But considering the act to be that of the
administration, not of Gen. Riley, it may be set
down to ignorance or inadvertence, and not to be
charged to any insidious designs against the con-
sti,u,ion, to deliberate hostility against the
