ANN ELIZA VS.. BRIGHAM.
Progress Of the Celebrated Mormon Di-
vOrce Suit-A Methodist Minister
Mixed in it.

SALT LAKE, August 22.-Judge En-
erson this morning susta ined the defen-
dant's demurrer in the case of Ann
Eliza Young UeTsIs Brigham Young, for
divorce, against the jurisdiction of the
district court. The judge held that the
probate, and not the district court, had
Jurisdiction in divorce cases. This was
In direct opposition to the opinion of
Judge MeKeon, of the supreme court of
the Territory. The case comes up again,
before Judge MeKeOn, in the October
term of the district court.
Rev. G. c.. Stratton, the Methodist
minister here, offers in vindicatiOn OF
himself, long card in the newspapers
of to-day in regard to the charge OF in
fluencing Anna Eliza Young to enter a
divorce suit and join the Methodist
church. He makes grave charges against
her lawyers, and asserts that they at
tempted to fleece their client. He ad-
mits acting as her confidential advisor,
and vindicates himself from the old
charges of scandal in the ministry in
Oregon. He gives a full and complete
history of bis connection with, and
the effect of, the compromise which
was somewhat important, but as he
holds, not controlling; he defies the
world to prove that his ministerial char
acter was impaired; he is not ashamed
of his crime, and will not be badgered oi
a correct nor into false position.
It is understood that the legal advisers
of Mrs. Young will give their statement
tomorrow. Great interest is displayed
by the community. The discussion
promises to be warm.

ANOTHER LIZZIE.
A Conductor whose Conduct Deserves
the End Of Rope.

From the 81. Louis Times.l
Edward Mccullough, a conductor on
the Fifth street line, was arrested yes
terday afternoon, by Sergeant Powell,
upon a charge of outraging the person of
Lizzie Hall. The alleged facts, so far as
they can be learned from both parties,
are briefly these. Lizzie attended a ball
in Concordia park ON Sunday night, in
company with another girl who is do
mestic in Frank LIFTS clearinghouse,
on Carondelet avenue, opposite the ar
senal, where Mccullough boards. The
girls left the park about midnight TO go
home, and the young conductor went
with them. Arriving at LIFTS McCul-
Tough treated the girls, and set out alone
with Lizzie, to escort her to her home,
on Second and Bryan streets, Just below
the arsenal. Lizzie says she started
alone, but Mccullough followed and
offered his escort, which she accepted,
thinking no harm. She says that
as they went along he made
some indecent proposals, which she
promptly resented. Upon arriving near
Nahlkampis sawmill, a lonely, out-Oi
the-way place, Mccullough threw heI
down on the ground. She says that she
called watch three or four times, but
he put his hand on her mouth, drew his
knife and threatened to kill her if she
gave the alarm. He then accomplished
his purpose in spite of her struggles
Lizzie is seventeen years of age, but
looks as though she was three years
Younger. Mccullough asserts in de-

is bad, and that he Tesorted 10 no VIC.

THE CHOLERA.
Abatement of the Disease in East Ten

From the Knoxville Chronicle of the 2Ist.l
From the mail-agent on the western
bound train we learn that one death
from cholera occurred at Carter's station
on Tuesday, and that another person
was dying there that evening as the
train passed. Some uneasiness prevails.
From the mail-agent on the eastern
bound train we learn that two deaths
from cholera occurred at Chattanooga
during Tuesday. The cholera deaths
there continue to average about two
day. The following we received by yes
terday's mail from Messy Creek, giving
the cholera news from that point: Gre
ports have become quite current that
we have had q scourge of the cholera in
our place, originating from the one case
of cholerine that came here from Rogers
Vile junction. Said case has recovered
some time since and returned to his post
again, from whence he came. We have
no fears whatever that we Will have any
more of the disease among us. The

DESERVEDLY LYNCHED.
Two Stranded FlOaters, by Whom there
Hangs a Tale-A Woman Avenged.

CAIRO, ILL, August 20.-TO-day our
citizens generally became aware that on
the Kentucky shore, just opposite the
city, lying near the water, on the sand,
was the body of a white man, so re-
ported by those who have been across
the river. He lies in full view, and it is
now said that he has been lying there
since Sunday last. As no inquest has
been held by the authorities of Ken
lucky, nothing is known in regard to his
history. Several TumOrs are in circula-
tion-one that he was shot for attempt
ing to steal boat; another that he was
drowned, and left ashore by the man
who took him out of the water; but no.
thing can be traced to its source. 1t
is certain, however, that the body has
been lying where it is for two or three
days, within the reach of christian
burial, and no efforts were made by the
authorities to inquire into the cause or
bury the remains. 1t is now reported
that another body lies on the same side
of the river, near the ferry-landing, and
still another in the wood back of the
river. Our authorities are powerless to
do anything. From passengers on the
steamer James Fisk, this afternoon, /
have been informed that there is a
strong probability of two negroes being
taken from the jail at Paducah, whittier
they were sent from Blondville for safe
keeping, tonight, and hanged by Judge
Lynch. They were guilty of ravishing
a white woman.

They stated that the Justice had ordered

There was so much distress exhibited by

the hands of some person or persons IN
known. All of the constable's guards
were quiet and orderly after they OBJ

Sheriff Hambright and Treasurer Jones
both left very suddenly on the approach
of the troops and after firing. They
were at the sheriff7s house when the
troops entered. Supervisor Harper, the

was ordered to jail. On the road there
Garrett tried to stab Laney with his
knife. Laney held him at bay with
the pistol, finally taking the

counts OF the collision near Montgomery
stations, with some
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
The Hillsboro and Loveland accommo-
datiOn, to which the accident occurred,
left Montgomery station on time. The
freight train, bound from Chillicothe TO
to this city, in charge of Conductor
Puet, was behind time. 1t is said his
watch was fifteen minutes slow, and, in
addition, it is reported that the engineer,
Smith, and he had some words at Love-
land, in which the engineer said he
would
GET HIM INTO DIFFICULTY
before he got to Cincinnati. At any rate,
the freight started expecting, it is said,
to make the switch at Montgomery sta
ton, but failed. The collision occurring
at sharp curve, while the freight was
running,On the passenger trains time, the
two engines grapPled each other, reared
upward and stood almost erect, bag
coaches remained on the track, but
THE SHOCK WAS TERRIBLE
to the passengers, none of whom were
seriously hurt. The personal injuries
were sustained by persons on the pas
senger train. Charles Rother, fireman,
remained on the engine with his father
Edward Rother, the engineer, and was
crushed between the fire-box and ten
der. The father escaped without ap-
parent injury, but appeared so moved
by the
EXCITEMENT OF THE DISASTER
that he came from the wreck with dis
ordered mind. Brakeman James G..
PerrigO had, in response to the signal of
"dOwn brakes u wound up his brake, and
was assisting the baggage-master, Sam
uel W. Howard, who was also at the
brakes when the shock came. Both
were Immediately crushed to death.
Both resided at Hillsboro, Ohio. Walter
Rhodes, express messenger, of this city,
and brother of j. II. Rhodes, of the
Adams express, received injuries of
which he died just after reaching the
Cincinnati depot this morning, making
FOUR DEATHS.
All other injuries received were incon-
siderable; but it appears clear that the
men who brayely remained at their
posts and lost their lives, saved the pas
sengers from fearful casualty. The
officials of the road acted with prompt
hOco' ~ SAOlohS WCAC bahcn hOuu the
city, and the determination is apparent,
on the part of the railroad officers, to
hold the conductor and engineer of the
freight train responsible before the Grim
inal court.
CORoNER'S INQUEST.
An inquest on the bodies of the killed
by the Marietta accident was held in
Montgomery to-day. The verdict of
the jury was, that the accident was
caused by the criminal conduct of the
conductor in running the train out of
time.
