information has been received in
dicating that the Mormons have con-
sidered. a fearful plan, of retaliation
to wards thegovernment for the course
which has been pursued in Utah
against polygamy by the Federal
judicial authorities. 1t is nothing
less than an. effort to foment an In
dill an war from Arizona to the North
ern bounds of. Dakota, to destroy the
overland railroads and devastate, the
whole Western frontier. Additional
troops have been ordered to Utah,
and as the governments forewarned
in time, any such scheme of warfare
may be nipped in the inception.
There does not appear to be any in
formation that any aggressive move
ments have been entered upon, nor
that the Mormons are prepared to
precipitate hostilities just now; but
that they have this plan in contem-
plation there seems to be no doubt.

Gloating over Misfortune.

z The Washington Chronicle quotes
the letter of a Raleigh correspondent
that 500 indictments havebeen found
for Ku Kluxing by the grand jury
of the Federal Court in session at
that place. These indictments are
for offences committed since the pas
sage of the Ku Klux Act by Con-
gress, in May last If the Circuit
Court could go back to 1868, says the
Chronicle, and take jurisdiction of all
the cases in North Carolina, it would
require a dozen grand juries to at
tend to the business, and $4,000 to
10000 Ku Klux could be indicted.
That would undoubtedly satisfy the
appetite even of the Chronicle. Even
Jeffreys might have been satisfied
with such holocaust Of victims.
But Of what advantage are Ku Klux
laws, if they only multiply offences :?
AS to the $4,000 or 10000 Ku Klux,'
it might as we'll be said at once that
everybody in North Carolina and the
South not Of a certain political stripe
are Ku Kluz. The law might have
been appropriately designated An
Act for the Uniformity of Parties" "
That is what it meansg No doubt
there are lawless characters in every
community and of all parties, and it
is quite conceivable that, as in the
South, there have been so-called
"Union Leagues, who mcnaced and
oppressed a helpless population, and
as there is also in power in every
part of the South those whom the
Chronicle admits to have little brains,
no education, and less than no char
acter," others, in self-defence, might
be driven to improvise some sort Of
temporary organized effort at self
preservation. But as to any associa-
tion there, whether called Ku Klux
or any other absurd name, having
traitorous designs against the Gov
ernmenC, OF Oanueu toSetner lor
criminal purposes, we have not seen
Eany credible testimony whatever of
its existence. But any association,
temporary or otherwise, not avowed-
ly Republican, which people in any
district may fall into in the South, it
would seem is likely to be punished
now under the oppressive machinery
of the so-called Ku KluS Actof Con-
gress. 1t will not be safe even for
neighborhoods in our most out-of-the
way places to indulge the ordinary
cooperation in protecting themselves
from the depredations of petty thieves,
or gathering for such sports as rural
districts may aford.-Baltimore Sun.

Death In a Dentists Chair.

Miss Julia w. Doolittle, aged 81
years, of Hudson, near Fulton ave-
nue., Brooklyn, called at r. C. Brew
ster's dental establishment, at 303
Fulton street, in that city, Monday
morning, to have a number of teeth
extracted preparatory to getting a
false set. She had been there on the
Saturday previous, and said that she
would be unable to submit to the op-
Grafton without taking laughing gas
or chloroform, but the dentist hesita-
ted about administering chloroform.
He finally administered gas, but it
did not have the desired effect. She
wanted to take chloroform then, but
Mr.. Brewster refused to useit. Fe
told her, however, that if she wished
to take it she must bring a physician
to the office to. administer it.
An engagement was accordingly
made for yesterday morning at nine
o'clock, and at that time Miss Doolit-
tie called at the office and met Dr. G.
S. Little, of III Carlton avenue, one
Of the most experienced physicians in
the CITY. The doctor asked Miss
Doolittle whether she was perfectly
healthy, and she said that she was,
but that she once had slight palpita-
tion of the heart, which she did not
view as anything serious.
DR.. Little then administered four
drachms of chloroform to her in the
presence of Mr.. Brewster and his as
sistant, j. w. Eggleston, who were i'll
readiness to extract the teeth. After
the latter had drawn the teeth he
doctor suddenly announced thattlo
womans pulse was becoming weak,
and that she was sinking rapidly.
They became alarmed and began to
apply restoratives, but without effect.
Several other physicians were sum-
moned, and a galvanic battery was
used for more than an hour, but all
efforts to revive the woman failed,
and she died.
Dr. Little was shocked at the fatal
result Of the operation. He said Miss
Doolittle had called at his Office on
Saturday and made an appointment
with him to go to Mr.. Brewstcr's Of
flee Monday morning. He met her
there and administer d four drachms
OF chloroiolm on napkin. When
she was under the influence OF the
drug the dentist began to extract her
teeth. The doctor, finding her pulse
growing weak, began toapply restora.
tives, but without effect. He had
known Miss Doolttle about month
or six weeks only. She was a native
Of Connecticut, and had lived i'll
BROOKLYN ten or twelve years. She
was employed in Despard's sewing
machine estabilshmentin Fulton street
at good salary, and was a tyst class
operator.
The body was taken to the resi-
dence OF a brotherin-law at Port
land and Myrtle avenues, and Coro-

the distance of fifteen miles, the lam

that we journeyed from dawn to mid

through blackened and burning for

which marked the fenceless fields,
guided by the tall, red chimneys

In Jamaica, w. l., grand juries have
been abolished, and the Attorney General in

The remnant of the Communists yester-

Yesterday the Government troops sur
