MORE ARRESTS Great Violation of the En-
torcement Act.-Yesterday morning Messrs.
William Thompson, Austin Broadus and Johr
McDuffee were arrested by United States
Deputy Marshal Michael Nugent, at Wheeler
vile, charged with a violation of the En-
forcement act. A white man, named Henry
Baker, made the affidavit upon which they
were arrested. We are reliably informed that
the offense for which they were arrested was
a whisky fight, in the woods last night,
bout o'clock, and that the difficulty
did not have its origin even indirectly in poll
tics. The parties to it are distant relatives,
and Baker, who was under the influence OF
liquor, as they all were, instigated the fight.
The three defendants, and Eugene Moore
for whose arrest q warrant has been issued,
are well-known Democrats, and it is believed
that these proceedings have been instituted
to get them out of the way, or intimidate
them and their friends. They were brought
before Commissioner Skaats yesterday, and
after waving an examination, they gave
bonds for their appearance.-MobleR Register,
October 81.

The CoUsHArrA PRISONERS. have not
had much to say Of the infamy of arresting
such men as T. w. Abney on the false charge
OF being implicated in the killing of the SIX
men of Red River parish, because we felt that
language would fail to express our indignation
of the outrage. We mention Mr.. Abney es-
pecially for the reason that it is well-known
that gentleman did everything in his power to
protect the lives of those men. When the
troubles commenced Mr.. Abney was in this
city purchasing stock of goods-the best
conceivable evidence that no plot was
contemplated on the part of the whites and
that none on the part of the blacks was sus-
pected by them. In the first place, he would
not have left home had he anticipated trouble,
and in the second he would not have taken an
additional stock Of goods to Coushatta under
such circumstances. Upon his return he was
placed in command of the white forces and
used every effort to protect the prisoners
against the incensed men who demanded they
be given up to them He' made these men a
speech in which he stated that the prisoners
were under his safeguard, and that he would
protect them at all hazards. -Shreueport Times,

Ellen j. Fitzgerald was burned to
death at Taunton, Mass, the other day.
Her dress caught fire from the kitchen
stove.
A few evenings ago Otis Jereatt,
aged thirteen, living in Parkville, Mich,
was thrown from a wagon by runaway
team and instantly killed.
The wife of F. III. Rotherman, of
Lima, Ohio, while crossing the new bridge
at Ottawa, fell to the ground, distance
of twelve feet, and broke her neck.
Death was instantaneous.
Mrs. Joseph Utton, of Boston, who
had been insane for several days pre-
yious, recently took dose Of Paris
green, and then jumped into the Charles
River. Between the two she achieved
suicide.
Thomas and Edward Dempsey left
Quincy, H., the other night for their
home in Ellington Missing their way
they drove over an cmbankment, and
Thomas was killed and the other badly
injured.
Charles Wood, of Richmond, Ind,
was forbidden by his father to attend a
ball in the town, lately, under penalty OF
never being allowed TO return home. He
went nevertheless, and at four o. clock the
next morning died suddenly from hemor-
rhage of the lungs, in the room of a
young friend with whom he slept.
"A dastardly outrage was recently
perpetrated upon private Waterman in
st. Louis. A stranger presented him
with a cigar and he unsuspiciously
smoked it. Not long afterward he be.
gan to feel i'll and his sickness increased
very rapidly, SO that at last report his re-
covery was despaired of. 1t has been
found that the cigar had large amount
of strychnine rolled among the leaves
"A brutal and, it appears, unprovoked
murder was committed on the Blue Bush
Road, in Exeter, few nights ago. The
perpetrator of the crime was arrested
and has confessed his guilt. The name
of the murdered man is Eisenwood, who
was farmer, living about mile distant
from the scene of the murder. He was
driving home on the night in question
with his murderer, who is German ped
der and who has been living with Eisen-
wood for the past few months. When
nearly home the peddler shot Eisenwood
twice with Sharp's revolver, then threw
him out of the wagon and pounded him
to death with wagon wrench. When
first arrested the man claimed that Eisen-
wood had been killed by the team run
ming away, and produced some wounds
upon himself with knife, which he
stated were also made by the accident.
The motive of the murder is mystery,
as the murdered man had no money or
other available property.

one-half more than that of the wheat
crop, to say nothing of it being better

wheat is subject to rust and drawbacks.
The export of barley SO far is entirely
experimental, and does not constitute
any considerable trade. There are two

now supplies us, and England is already
discussing the near approach OF the time
when she must import her beer stock
