A Precedent in the Virginius Matter

From Washington Correspondence New York Tribune.
The details of the interference Of the
British government in 1894 to stop the
barbaritics pcrpetrated in the Carlist War,
were laid before the President to-day, as q
pertinent precedent to bc considered in
connection with the Nirginius affair. The
course Of the British government was the
immediate consequence Of an act very sim
liar to the execution Of Ryan and his COM
panions. An English ship was overl,anlcd
by Il Spanish mali-of-war, and two Cariist
officers taken from her and suinmarily ,h,t,
after drum head court martial. lie
government Of Queen Isabella treated the
Ca,lsts as traitors. and had, from the out
break of the rebellion. shot all the prisoners
captured. The Carlists rctaliatcd, and the
war was one of brutal ferocity Oh both sides
The execution of the two officers taken from
the English ship reused the British minis
try to action. Will, the assent Of the other
parties to the tripartite alliancc-France
and Portugal--Lorl Eliot was sent to
Spain. and he made convention between
the Madrid government and the Carlis:
chiefs. which. without recognizing the
bclligercncy Of the latter, bound both to
respect the rules Of civilized warfare. and
put an immediate stop to the murder Of
prisoners. Provision was made for the
regular exchange Of prisoners. The terms
! Of the convention were adhered to until tho
! war ended in 1889.

A Specimen of Spanish Cruelty.

4 most touching instance Of hcroisnl, and
one of the most atrOcious acts Of cruelty,
the truth Of which is vouchcd for by the
most respectable authority, occurred during
the Colombia struggle for independence.
The Spanish General Morillo, the most
blooti-thirsty and tr,:clIcrous tool Of the
Spanish King, was created Count of Carta-
gcna and Marquis dc IL Pueria for services
which rather entitlc him to the butcher or
hangman.
While seated in his tent one day hc saw
young boy before him drowned in tears.
Tie chief demanded Of him for what p,r-
pose he was there.
The child replied that had come to beg
the life of his father, then u prisoner in
Morill"'s camp.
"Wllat can you ,lo t" save your fathcr:''
asked the general.
IL can do but little, but what can shall
be done.''
Morrilo seized the little fellows ear and
said:
"Wonld you suffer your ear to be taken
off to procure your fathers life ?"
81 certainly would,' was the un,launted
reply.
The boy wcp;. but did not resist while
the birbarous order was executed:
Would You lose your other car rather
than fail Of your purposc:" was the next
question.
81 have suffered much, but for my father
can suffer s!ill," was the answer of the
boy.
The "t!ier car was taken of pcccme:l,
without fiinclIing on the part Of the noble
boy.
"Aud now go!' exclaimed Morillo, un-
touched by his sublime courage; "the father
Of such son must die
In the presence Of his agonizcd and vaiuly
suffering son. the patriot father was
executed.
Never did !. life picture exhibit such
truthful lights and shades in national
character; such deep, trcachcrous villaimy--
such lofty, enthusiastic heroism

We have been studying the '.ncw fash

by three ladies. We can't exactly make
| out what there is new about them, because.
candidly, We don't exactly know what the
old fashions were. We have. however,
come to the conclusion that it is the fashion
for a lady to stand leaning either her right
or left hand upon window sill, and to gaze
out Of the window at either u handsome
fellow with a love Of 4 moustacle, on the
opposite side of the street. or ut a lantlscape
with nothing in it but 4 post and rail fence
and small hin; or to stand at the front

it is the fashion, if our judgment goes not
astay, to wear good clothes. Leastways,
the ladies' in the picture seem to each have

SHADES SKULL.
What 10 Known About the Man.

Under this head the Denver Tribune i'll
PRODUCES a relic Of one Of Mark Twain's
heroes. About daylight this morning, as q
teamstcr employed by Sherman & Lewis
lumber dealers, at the corner Of Blake and
Nineteenth streets, entered their yard to
arrange for a days work, he discovered on
the steps leading to the Office a sack which
contained something that excited his Curl
osity. lie began to fathom it's depths and
drew out round package, wrapped care
fully in wcll-worn paper bag and copy
Of the Utah Mining journal Of April 25th.
These wrappings laid aside, there appeared
to tho astonisl'ed gaze Of the teamster a
human skull, labelled, "Slade, the Montana
Murderer" Mr.. Lewis at once took pos
session Of the "rclic," and his Office was
visited to-day by quite throng anxious to
get sight Of it. Among others who came
up was "shep'' Medary, plainsman Of
fourteen years. experience, who knows
Colorado, Montana, Idaho, and all Of the
Territories almost by heart; knew slade in
Virginia City in the spring Of 1864. The
skull answers somewhat the belongings of
such dcsparado as Sladc was known to bc
broad across the check bones, and low,
rctreatins forehead. "Shep," who just
returned yesterday from plotting the Hay
den scientific party, recalls some rcminis-
ccnccs of the man Slade, who in his day
was the most dreaded man in the Rocky
Mountain region. Sladc came out from IL
linois in the days Of the California gold
fever, and lodged about on the plains for a
long time, dividing his attention between
the Indians and the avoiding of a small
band Of Vigilantes who were hunting him
to ''settle" some fragrant Outrages which
he had pcrpctrated back in the States.
After rowing about for several years, he
was placed at Julesburg rs agent for Holla-
days Overland Stage Company, he being
deemed an "available' man to face the
cut-throats who swarmed in that region,
often molestins the Company's property.
He supplanted another almost equally dcs-
pcratc msn-Jules, Frcnchman; with
whom he afterwards had desperate EN-
counter, both receiving dangerous wounds.
Subsequently Sladc killed Jules, and COM
mittcd series Of atrocities too barbaUus
too relate, cutting off Jules ears and fairly
quartering him. After a career Of unex-
amplcd violence, passing now for a despair
ado now for valued citizen, killing (by
common report) twenty-six men, this man,
"feared," as a route-ascnt expressed it,
''from Fort Kearney West a great deal
more than the Almighty" was caught by a
party Of outraged miners at Virginia City,
Montana, and hung. 1t was supposed at
the time that his body was shipped east to
his friends. At least nothing transpired to
warrant any further attention to the mat
ter. The finding of the skull calls out the
"reminiscences which We have noted. Sladc

From the Chamois Mol Leader.
While we were in the courthouse in Linn
last week listening to the testimony in the
case Of the State vs.. L,dc for abandoning
his wife and children, u little girl was in
tro,luced as i witness. In manner and gen.
cral appearance she was only Il child, and
We really thought ought, on account Of her
youth, have been spared the ordeal to wlicl,
witnesses in court Of Justice are generally
subjected. The first question asked by the
attorney was:
"Are you married lady?
Our astonisllmcnt can bc better imag-
ined than described, when she promptly re-
Piled:
"Ycs, sir
"Ilow long have yon been married -
asked the lawyer.
"About two years.
"And how old are you now?
~ will bc thirteen in December
In reply to other questions, she stated
that she and her husband had not lived to.
gether since their marriage, and that she
was induced to marry through the threats
Of her father, who had some mcrcenary OBJ
ject in view.
After the adjournment Of the court We
sought and obtained al interview with the
young lady and her mother in order to as
certain the particulars Of this extraordinary
marriage. The maiden name Of this child
I.'.'o WAS ,nTi>tiiIs i.;.,ie. one WIS DorE
in this county December 3. 1860, and was
married to Michael Fr.nkwich (aged 19),
January !. 1912, being 1T the time Of her
marriage only few days orer eletsn gears
cfage! She stated to us that her father,
by threats Of punishment in case Of refusal,
compelled her to consent to this untimcly
Union, bidding her under severe penalties
to state to the justice that she was over
fourteen years old. We cannot find Ian
g,lase sufficiently severe to use in condenl-
nation of the brute who would thus offer ,,p
his child as a sacrifice in order to the ac-
complishmcnt Of some mere pecuniary pur-
pose. He ought t" bc driven away in dis.

A Haunted Locomotive.
From the Springfield Republican T..

A locomotive that is possessed Of a devil
is the sensation Of South Manchester, Conn.
The engine is called the "Pioneer," for
merly the "Canoncllet," and belongs to the
Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad.
She was sold to another road recently, but
owing to some misunderstanding was never
delivered, and to get her out Of the way the
company sent her from Hartford to South
Manchester week or two ago to be housed
in the engine house there. She behaved her.
self like any well-bred engine the first two
nights, but on the third the watcl,man
heard strange noises issuing from all parts
Of her, noises unlike anything he ever heard
before. This continued every night, and
was heard by his brother; who came to keep
him company in the uncanny place. Then
the story got abroad that there was haunt
cd engine at the shop, and believers and un-
BELIEVERS began to flock around. The noises
continued to be audible. There was q rap.
ping, now in the fire box, now in the boiler,
and anon in the smoke stack, as though some
person inside were striking the iron with a
mufiicd stick, and hollow and dismal re.
vcrleration followed each blow.
The most, careful and thorough examin'
alton failed to disclose any trickery or the
possibility Of any, and the impudent spirits
would keep up the racket even while the
scrutiny was going on. People 60 to the en-
gine house and stay nights to hear the man
ifestations, and it is related that Que young
man who was making unseemly jests about
the ghosts suddenly grew dcathly pale and
fell in swoon. When he recovered he said
he saw ghostly figure glide out Of the en-
gine and point its bony finger at him. Their
are divers theories to account for the bust
ness. A gentleman ftom Pittsburg, whit
knows all about iron and locomotives say.
it is the molecular action Of the iron striving
to return from the artificial fibroas state, a.
seen in wrought iron, to the granulated, o
pig iron state. The believers in the spiri
theory floor him at once, however, by asking
why the noises is loudest on alternate nights
and why they always occur between9 o'clocl
p. N. and 3 A. N.
