the neighborhood of the volcano is filled
with rocks and earth, which formed
part of the mountain. This extraordi-

siderable loss of life, but the number of

Iron Mountain Railroad.

As TO the seizure by Gov. Fletcher, of
Missouri, of the Iron Mountain railroad,
it is utterly denied that Thomas Allen,
representing the purchasers, had for
feited his right to hold it by non-compli-
ance with conditions which failing au-
thorized the seizure. The purchasers
were bound to expend 100000 in work
on the road within the year ending jan
uary IL, 1868, and to make an annual
statement of expenditures, both of which
conditions we're complied with. There
we're no other conditions. By the act
requiring the expenditure was provided
this would entitle the purchasers to an
extension of the time of payment'of the
first instalment of purchase money until
two years after maturity of the last in
stalment. And thus the debt, for which
the road was seized, was not due. We
gather these facts from the St. Louis Re
publican, which also states that Mr.. Al
len and his associates have expended
twelve hundred thousand dollars on the
road of their private means, and so far
without return of any portion. And the
only pretext stated for the seizure is some
little deviations from the proposed line OF
the road. bed, charges made for freight
and passengers, that one of the officers
is an unrepentant rebel, and matters OF
like irrelevancy and unimportance. A
more outrageous and inexcusable ipjus.
tice was never perpetrated. 1t is the
taking of private property by force and
without compensation, and nothing less
than downright robbery. If such prac-
tees can be tolerated in Missouri we in
vite capitalists to Brownlow's dominions,
who, though altogether tyrant, is too
honest to steal.

The Late Charles Kean.

Charles John Kean was born at Water
ford, England, in 1911, and was the only
surviving son of Edmund Kean. After
a short course at a preparatory school,
he was sent to Elton, but at sixteen was
taken from college. He accepted an en-
gagement for three years at Drury Lane
Theater, appearing for the first time on
the lst of October, 1927, as young Nor
vdl in Homes tragedy of Douglas"
In October, 1929, his acting was for the
first time favorably noticed by the Lon
don press, he having played Romeo, at
the Haymarket, to Miss F. Fl. Kelley's
Juliet. In September, 1880 he appeared
in New York as Richard III. He was
cordially received throughout America,
and remained several years, returning
to England at the age of twenty-five with
an established reputation. The father
and son appeared only once together at
the Covent Garden. This was on the
2Sth of March, 1888, as Othello and Iago,
to the Desdemond of Miss Ellen Tree.
In 1889 he again visited America, and,
in 1912, married Miss Ellen Tree in Dub
lin, with whom, in 1916, he paid US a
third visit Mr.. and Mrs. Kean again
came to the United States about three
years ago, and played a series of farewell
engagements in all our principal cities.
His health was then feeble, and after his
return to England he appeared but sell
dom upon the stage. His wife, who is
still alive, is seven years older than her
late husband.

ignore that officer and obey Congress,

The new plan for providing the means
of paying the immediate expenses of the
city government, published yesterday in
handful form, strikes us as about the
best which can he adopted, if generally
consented to and acted on accordingly.
If the banks will pledge themselves to
receive at par, in payment of debts, the
city notes, proposed to be issued to an
amount not exceeding $4,000 per
month, that will secure confidence, and
they will be taken freely by the mer-
chants, marketmen, and the whole peo-
pie. And if the proposed system of
economical retrenchment is at once
adopted as promised, the notes will be
really good, and rest on solid founda-
ton, which will be the sufficient warrant
for the public confidence. The property
of the city is bound, and there is no good
reason why its notes should not be al
ways as good as those Of private individ-
uals. There is no danger about ulti-
mate solvency, and, if necessary, these
new issues may be made preferred
claims and provided for by special tax
or the proceeds Of sales of city property
be thus appropriated, or both. 1t will
besides, have a good effect in giving US a
little additional currency, which, indeed
we so greatly need.

LAwLESSNESS In MISSISSIPPI
Men Ambushed and Killed bv
Negro Stock Thieves.

The Clarion contains the following
particulars of an affair already alluded
to by telegraph:
Hickory. JASPER Co., MISS, January2o.
EDITOR CLARION: On last night, near
Mr.. Dennis, an awful murder was com
mitted on both e. r. Dennis and Dan
Dennis. The circumstances, so far as |
have learned, are as follows:
Mr.. Dennis had discovered that Prince
Dyess, a freedman, had killed some OF
his hogs, and had obtained bench war
rant for his arrest. He also got an Off
Ger to 20 home with him for the purpose
of having Dyes arrested. Surprising
that the negro Dyess, by the as
sistance of other negroes, would de-
fend himself, the officer summoned
posse of men to assist him, and the
Messrs. Dennis were with them.
They proceeded to Dyes house, and
not finding him there, they went to his
brothers house, where they also failed
to find him. They then gave up the
search, aud were returning TO MIR. Den
MIS-, when they were attacked by old
John Dyess, Prince Dyess, Sonny Dyess
and several others, who were in ambush
Several shots were fred. Ed. and Dan.
Dennis we're killed on the spot, and Mr..
Benz. Griffin received q shot in the leg,
breaking the bone. d. d. Gibson re-
ceived full charge of small shot in the
left shoulder and ball in the back of the
head; Jonas Nelson was wounded with
small shot in the arm. Sim Perry, Jack
Horn, Rus. Gibson and Mr.. Heath, all
escaped without injury. Old John
Dyess was wounded in the breast, but
not MORALLY. This all took place about
three o'clock in the night. The muir.
derers after shooting Ed. and Dan. Den
mis-, then beat them with the butts of
their guns. Sim Perry, after the me-
groes left, managed to get Messrs. Glib
son and Griffin to Mr.. Dennis house.
The others made their escape to differ
ent places in the neighborhood as best
they could For want of assistance the
dead were not cared for until this morn
ing.
The news spread over the country this
morning very rapidly, and great excite
ment prevailed. Men pushed forward
from every direction to the place of muir.
der, for the purpose of assisting in ar
resting the murderers if possible. A
squad of ten or fifteen from Gar
landsville having learned that the
murderers were all at old John
Dyess' house, they proceeded there, and
on arriving there they were fired on by
the murderers, wounding Mr.. Lyle NOR
tally, and two others slightly, and killing
one horse. Old John Dyess and Tom
Gentry are all that have been captured.

RICHMOND, January 30.-The Conven-
ton adopted resolution asking General
Schofeld to allow voters to register
where they reside at the time of the
election. A member said the resolution
was quite unnecessary, as General
Schofeld would soon Issue an order
for new registration. During the
debate some Conservative used the
words "that internal tyrant, Congress.
Some confusion followed, several mem
bers claiming that the words were disor-
derby. The question was left unsettled
by the order of the day coming up. A
member demanded the expulsion of the
reporter of the Dispatch, on account ola
statement in that paper-not carried.
In the afternoon session there was much
excitement on the Republican side,
caused by one member calling another a
damned liar. Chairs were caught up,
but by the interposition of some of the
members the difficulty was stopped.
Apart from this interruption the day was
spent in discussing the subject of taxa
