" AIRS Well that Ends Well Col. Lamar
Rises to Explain, and the Court
is Satisfied.
snacial to the APPEAL.

Special to the APPEAL.
OXFORD, MISS, June 27.-The Rad
icaI account of the difficulty in the
Federal Court here is grossly false.
Colonel Lamar asked the Judge of the
United States District Court to put
man, who was a witness for the United
States in the Ku.Klux cases, under
bond to keep the peace, upon the
ground that he was threatening peace
able citizens. Whilst Colonel Lamar
was stating the facts to the Court, the
man arose and advanced toward him
in very threatening manner, with
one hand under his coat, as
if about to draw pistol.
Colonel Lamar asked the Court to
require the man to take his seat until
he finished his remarks. The man,
without waiting for the interference
Of the Court, continued to advance
and Colonel Lamar drew chair upon
him. The man then fell back and
took his seat. Great excitement and
cries from the District Attorney and
others for the arrest of Colonel Lamar
and for the soldiers to come into the
bar, ensued. Colonel Lamar said: 81
have committed no disorder.
/ have done nothing to justify my ar.
rest" Just then the US. Marshal, with
soldiers following him, approached
Col. Lamar, and as he was about to
lay his hands upon him Col. Lamar
struck him with his fist. The Judge
was all the time endeavoring to
restore order, and very soon order
was restored. When everything
became quiet, Colonel Lamar
apologiZed in a very handsome and
ample manner to the court for strik-
ing the Marshal, the Marshal having
disclosed that he did not approach
him for the purpose of arresting him.
The Judge accepted the apology and
the Marshal declared himself satisfied.
Public opinion here, and the entire
bar, are in full sympathy with Colonel

THE TREASURY MUss.
Boutwell, and PIeasantOn-The Former the
Upper Dog in the Fight

NFw YORK, June 27.-The IFi-
6une'S Washington correspondent tel
egraphs that the Boutwell, PleasantOn
quarrel continues to be almost the
only topic of conversation in political
circles. It's generally held that Bout
well, as Secretary of the Treasury, is
accountable to the people for the dis
bursement of all public monies; and
the responsibility of making cheap
contracts, as far as they bear upon the
Treasury debt, or any Of its bureaus,
rests on him. When Delano was in
charge of the Revenue Bureau, it was
proposed to make this q depot or bu-
reau independent of the Secretary of
the Treasury. The proposition did
not, however, meet with the approval
either of Congress or the President,
and it was held that Boutwell,, having
assisted in forming the Internal Rev
enue laws, and in organizing the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, was abund-
antly qualified to give advice in regard
to its management. Delano there
fore always cOunselled with the Secre-
tary whenever any very important
questions arose, especially in regard to
the Interpretation of laws, and when
ever he made contracts for furnishing
his Bureau with material. No depar-
ture from this custom has ever been
made till last week, when Pleasanton
awarded heavy contracts for stamp
paper in opposition to the known
wishes OF the Secretary, and the judg-
ment of experts in his Bureau. 1t is
currently repOrted here that the Pres
ident has said he will not interfere in
PlessantOn's behalf, and that the lat
ter, if not sustained, will resign.

VERSAILLES, June 27.-The Pope,

thy from the French Catholics, praises

nounces liberal Catholicism as an evil
as formidable as the revolution of the
Commune.
Theirs has issued a decree providing
for the establishment of a legion of
modified gems d'armes to maintain

METHODIST.
A New Phase in the Disgusting Fraud Case
"A New Arbitsr Called In.


NEW YORK, June 24.-Dr. Carlton
this morning publishes lengthy an
sWer to DR.. Lanahan's charges of
fraud in the Methodist Book Concern
and in closing says DIR. Lanahan and
his accountants have exhibited great
recklessness in their use of figures in
soma instances and that their figures
are entirely wrong, and that in others
they are given out of their les itimate
connection, and inventories have been
but partially quoted. They have ig-
nored the peculiaritieS of the business
which arise from its connection with
all enterprises of the church, involving
processes unknown in any ordinary
business. To make fair shOWings
these peculiarities must be taken into
account. It is stated that DIR. Carl
ton will at once tender his resigna-
ton. The Book Committee yesterday
sat in secret session all day discussing
measures in regard to investigating
the charges found and the mismanage-
ment of the Concern, made by Lana
han. They appointed a sub-cOmmit-
tee to draft plans and that committee
subsequently reported in favor of APP
pointing Jas. B. Kilbath, Of Cinein-
natl, to conduct determination, with
power to select such assistants as he
may require; and the committee
specially directs his attention 70 such
books and accounts and business
transactions, Of whatever date and in
whatever department Of the Concern,
as by such allegations are said to be
involved in frauds, losses and mis-
management. Kilbath is also directed
by resolution to examine the method
Of business and mode of book keep
ing Of the Concern, andreport results
to the committee. He will have free
acces 5 to their records and papers. The
committee, however, have not com.
muuicated with Mr.. Kilbath, and
know not whether he will accept this
trust.

THE 8. LEWIS BONDS.
important Decision by the Supreme Court
Over 100000 of Shelby County
Bonds Worthless.
Special to the APPEAL.l

Special to the APPEAL.l
JACKSON, Tenn, June 27.-The
most important decision rendered by
the Supreme Court this session was
delivered to day. 1t was not un-
expected in view of a previous
decision of the court to the effect
that the law appointing County Com
missioners was unconstitutional, be-
cause partial, yet it fell upon many
present as anything but a pleasant
surprise, that the bonds issued by
Barbour Lewis and his fellow-com-
missioners, were void. There is no
means here OF ascertaining the pre-
else amount of county securities
thus squelched out of legal existence,
but it must be somewhere in the
neighbOrhOOd of 81, 100000. There is
the 100000 of bonds issued to the
Mississippi railroad at present in the
hands OF McCombs (bulIy for Nc
C0mbs); also the 5000, ,000 for construc-
ton of the Jail, the only public
building in Shelby county, the
most wealthy in the State; $4,000
issued for salaries of the illegal
Commissioners, and 100000 issued
for miscellaneous purposes. This de.
eisiOn will fall hard upon the present
holders of these bonds, but 1t can't be
helped. The fat has gone forth, and
the innocent, as is too often the case,
must suffer for the guilty. This lifts a
big load from the shoulders of old
and her legal securities should
by its operation appreciate rapidly to
par. What will McCombs now do
with his contract with the Mississippi
River railroad? This decision of the
court is a fearful blow to many.

COUNTERFEITERs.
The Principal Gang in the United States
Broken Up.

CLEVELAND, o., June 27.-In April
United States Marshal Hastings, of
the Northern District of Ohio, re-
ceiyed information that considerable
amount of counterfeit greenbacks,
national bank notes and fractional
currency was being circulated in
Northern Ohio and Eastern Indiana,
and that a large gang of operators
Weresengaged in it. Two of the most
skillful detectives in the secret service
department were detailed to assist
Hastings in the matter. During the
past two or three months they have
been working upon the case, and have
succeeded in breaking up the gang.
Arrests have been made, from time to
time, until several ringleaders, some
of the most desperate characters in this
part Of the country, have been arrest

BOsH BY TELEGRAPH.
An Idle Tale-Witchcraf in IlIinOis-Some-
thing Akin to VaudoOism.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The town of
Frankfort, Illinois, is greatly excited
over what the citizens regard as
clear case of witchcTaft, recently de-
velOped in that vicinity. Two young
ladies, daughters of James Williams,
are the victims. 1t has been thought
by neighbOrs for some time past that
something was wrong with the girls,
and few days ago a physician was
called to visit them. He failed to dis
cover the difficulty. Since that time
immense crowds have visited the
girls, avarsging from 90 to 100 each
night. They are perfectly sane during
day, but at the approach of night they
become frenZied and uncomfortable,
performing feats that would put first
class acrObats to shame. Sealing the
house they will dance and gyrate on
the comb of the roof with perfect ease
and impunity, uttering at the same
time the most hideOus and frenzied
screams. Very frequently while per-
forming such feats they fall perfectly
rigid with spasms, but they never fall
of, however near the caves they
may be. During the day, at Whicn time
inCy diE pCAlCCblJ BduC, luCy
seem modest and reserved. The spell
comes upon them both at nearly the
same time, generally during twilight.
when they both break into a run, and
they always run north in the direction
of the house of lady, who, they say,
has beWitched them. They say these
spells are put upon them on ac-
count of their telling something she
forbade them, and she and her care
with them in their house top dance.
Their conversation when labOring I'M
der these spells is in an unknown
tongue. They catch and eat all flies
they can get hold of, until nausea is
produced, when they both vomit at
the same time. What one does, the
other does at the same time. They
seem to be moved by one controlling
power.

SUNDAY LAW.
Opposition to Cincinnati Blue Laws
Mass Meeting Called for

CINCINNATI, June 2.-The recent
movement to enforce the Sunday law
is creating some cOmmotion here and
will probably bring matters to crisis.
The German saloon keepers held a
meeting to. day and instructed a COM
mittee appointed by them to report
resolutions at a future meeting, for a
rigid enforcement of the Sundey law
in all its particulars. This, they be-
lieve, would make the law Odious and
procure its repeal. 1t is proposed, by
some, to close completely on sunday,
and prosecute carriers, newspapers,
street car drivers, cigar vendors,
milkmen, paid church organists, etc.
A mass meeting is called for Thurs
day by persons who oppose the pres.

London Dogs

As the dOg-days approach, the dogs
themselves engrOss much OF the at-
tentiOn Of our municipal authorities,
Whether Mr.. Bergh is at work upon
a scheme for the comfort Of these anil
mails during the hot weather, we can
not say, but some one quite equal TO
Mr. Bergh in humanity has been in
London. He has there prevailed on
the authorities to extend canine rights
further, perhaps, than they have ever
gone ia any other community. The
Pail Mall Gazette, Of June Sd, says:
"The police have, We hear, received
orders 10 seize and convey TO the pO-
lice stations any stray dog, whether
rnuzzled or unmuZzled, who may be
seen walking about the streets and
unable 20 give a satisfactory account
Of himself. On arrival a. the station
an accurate description Of the home
less animal will be taken by the Off
Ger ia charge and circulated through
out the force. The dog viii then be
sent tO the Home for Lost and StaTv-
ing Dogs in the Lower WandsWOrth
road, where, no doubt, he or she will
be provided with refreshment and re-
ceive every care and attention. Stray
dogs wearing a collar with an address
inscribed upon ii viii be at once re-
ported to their masters, and, IL not
reclaimed after three days. sOjOuTn at
the police station, will be sent
20 a TelOTmatOry, like other dogs.
"These arrangements are far more
humane than those adopted a few
years ago, when half the police force
was engaged In iunting the dogs Of
London through the streets, when
every dog not secured by a chain or
provided with muzZie was liable 20
Be taken into custody, even under his
masters eve, and hundreds of innO-
cents were naassacred. The authOri-
fies At Scotland Yard would confer a
great boon on the sleepless il they
would also tell of q certain number Of
constables for the special duty Of
keeping order among the cats at
night"
What more could be done for the
famous nOn-vOtiDg class, Of "children,
Idiots and women" than is here un-
dertaken for stray dogs?
But appearances are sometimes de.
ceitfuI. and the careful reader may,
Derhaps. suspect that the ''refOrma-
forv'' 10 which all dogs are to be sent
in London, is not exactly house Of
shaltpr and correction, in the usual
sense. What II the 0aly method Of
reforming dogs known and practiced
there were the sure and safe one OF
sdministering an ounce OF IeadY We
are mot sure the Pail Nal Gdzettc
does not mean this.

LOvs-Maklag in South Italy.

L0Ve-making by signs is very gem
eral. The method has many recon-
mendatiOns; for az the lovers are not
seen together, and don't write, they
are not easily found out. Every win
dow opens 10 the floor, aud has bal
cOny, so that neighbOrs have great
facilities for the pastime. The Ian
gUsge Of love is very simple; it is al
ways the same and always interesting
and new. The gentleman begins by
taking out his handkerchief, which
he passes over his face, looking all the
time at the lady, and throwing into
his face and eyes expressions of adj
miratiOn for her; at the same time he
compliments her on her beauty by
passing his hand over his mouth and
chin. The lady's answer is a blush,
hiding her face, except the eyes, be-
hind her fan, and pointing to the rear,
to indicate that mamma ls coming,
and retreats. Next time, the same
playon the gentleman's side, followed
by possibly a glance, not Of dis
cOuragenent from the lady; where
upon he hugs his left side, TO express
that he loves her to distraction; and
the lady fees, TO return the next day,
and observe the gentleman, of course,
to her great establishment and dis
pleasure, repeat the previous ges-
ture, ending by showing her the palms
of his hands, and looking entreaty,
which any young lady even unac-
quainted with the particular language
in question, would understood TO
mean: i vow by, etc, that ! love you
more th8n-and so forth. DO yon
love me? The answer Of which, of
course, depends upon circumstances;
and thus theancient comedy proceeds.
IL is understood to be extremely nter-
esting to the drGmdtis persona. Love
making short OF the task papa" part,
is frequently carried on in South Italy,
in this way, and it not seldom happens
that when papa Il memorable, or the
lady in a convent, thewhole affair, in
cluding agreemeet and preparation to
run away, is transacted solely by ges-
ture-apropos OF which it is on record
that on an occasion Of the sort, all be-
ing prepared, and the gentleman in
the street waiting at the lady's door
with the carriage intended to carry of
the happy couple, an awful gruff voice
was heard asking, "Are you therei"
The lover looked toward the voice,
saw that it came from the object Ofhis
balcony affections, and, utterly disen-
chanted, fed. This story, although |
nearly incredible as the first narrated, |
is given without any reserve. IL IL !
quite true.-ChanI6eT's Journal.

REVENUE.
The Gagers, the Gaugers and GOugers at
wOrk-What they Hunted up.

NASHVILLE, June H.-Some civil
officers accompanied by military
force, sent from Nashville few days
since to raid on Illicit distilleries in
Franklin, Lincoln and other counties,
returned to-day bringing with them
G. l.. Poe, of Franklin, who was SUBJ
sequently discharged on bail to ap-
pear at the next term of the Federal
Court. A considerable quantity of
whisky was seized together with a
number of distilleries, whose owners
escaped.
The Supreme Court Of Tennessee
decided to-day that the acts of county
commissioners wers void, and war
rants issued by them were not bind
ing. This involves some very large
amounts appropriated and expended
under the authority of commissioners
appointed under q law enacted by the
Legislature.
