A Prayed-Osr SalsSa Keeper.

We had the pleasure, recently,
of a talk with Mr., who came
to this city from Macarthur, Vim
tor county, Ohio, where he had q
ssrt of club room where = game of
cards could be played, and drink
of WhiSkey taken. He was driven
out by the Women's war against
Whiskey and cards. Mr.. G-'s,
description OF the war, as he saw
it, is good. He says:
They climbed up to my place
a week ago last Friday night, fifty
four OF them, Young and old, rich
aud poor, some in rags and some
in tine harness. Each OF the fif-
ty-four women women came up
personally and spoke to me and
hoped I'D get new soul. OF
course I had to treat ZEN politely.
There Was only one lamp burning
in the room when they came in, so
lit another for them, TO make it
lighter. Then they took ont their
bymn.books, and all sang togeth-
CT. One or two of 'em led, and
the rest Joined IN. After they had
sung fifteen minutes or so, they
all got down on their marrow
houes and prayed. There was one
woman there that, could pray loud
enough to be herd all over the
village, which has only eight hun
drsd Inhabitants. A woman
would pray, and the rest Would
join in with an amen, 4 long and
loud one. One of the women that
prayed was seventy years OLD.
She prayed so long and strong
that she got herself OF tremblS,
and had 10 be lifted to her feet
feet and carried down stairs. One
time they called, all got down on
their marrow bones, on the ont.
side, and sang aHd prayed"
Reporter--You closed up. final
ly?
Mr.. G.-There was nothing
else to do when they were carry
ing on that way. They closed
everything in the village down to
an oyster saloon where the folks
were in the habit of playing 4
game of cards to see who'd pay for
the stews, place where there was
= rot a drop of liquor sold.
Reporter-lIoU do they treat
fellow in their prayers:
Mr.. G.-They are very kind 10
their prayers at first. They pray
for 8 fellows soul, and then
stick a petition before him. ifhe
don't sign to quit, they pray for
lightning To strike his shop--7Cinr

A terrible boiler explosion, resulting in
the death Of eight or ten persons, occurred in
a paper-mill at S~hawangunk, n. Y, on the
evening Of the Sd inst. The mill was COM
pletely demolished by the force Of the explo-

THE ARKANSAS REBELLIGN.

LITTLE Rock, May 6.-The two missing
Judges, Bennett and Searle, escaped from
their captors in Saline county last night, and
arrived in the city to-day under a Federal
escort, which went ont last night. and again
this morning, to look for them. The Judges
Of the Supreme Court, Mcclure. Stephens and
Searle, held a meeting to-day to hear all ap-
plication for q mandamus to compel the State
Treasurer to honor the draft of Joseph Brooks
on the Treasury AZ Governor. The matter
WAS taken under a~dvisement.
The measles. and. it is reported, the small
pox also, have broken out in the Brooks camp.
One Lieutenant died yesterday, and was buried
to-day in the State-House grounds with mill
tary honors.
Matters are becoming more critical and
complicated every day.
A somewhat tishy story is in circulation
here, to the effect that the officer who cap
tured the Supreme Court Judges had orders
from Baxter to assassinate them.
LITTLE Rock, May -Four of the five
Judges Of the Supreme Cour met inside the
Brooks line this evening, and delivered q de-
cision aflirmiHg that the Circuit Court had
jurisdiction Of the subject matter of the suit
of Brooks w. Baxter, and that the proceed
ings were regular and the decision valid.
The Baxterites claim that the decision
amounts to nothing, first because a legal court
is composed Of the full Bench second that
the question of Governor is n for the Legis-
lature alone to determine.
As the time for the Legislature to meet
draws near, men are coming in from all Sec
tons of the State. mostly as reinforoements
for Baxter, though Brooks received a few men
yesterday. Brooks has organized a cavalry
company to do scouting duty.

RAILROAD INTELLIGENCE.

Gov. Taylor, OF Wisconsin. has issued a
proclamation in regard to the Railroad law.
and the expressed determination of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul and Northwestern com,
panies to disregard its provisions, in which he
warns them not to violate the law. He holds
that the law is law. and that it is his duty to
see that it is obeyed. 1t may possibly be de-
fectivc. but that is a question for the courts
to decide and, in the meantime, resistance OH
the part Of the companies to its operation will
only render more grievous the burdens Of
which they complain. The effect OF the Gov
ernor's proclamation will be looked for with
great interest in all parts OF the country. An
open conflict between the Executive OF a State
and two powerful corporations is a phase Of
tho railroad question which has never before
been presented.
Council Bluffs will, in all probability, be
named by Congress as the Eastern terminus
OF the Union Pacific railroad. A report favor
ing such action has been agreed upon by the
House Committee on Pacific Railroads.
A representative of the German bond
holders Of the Rockford, Rock leland and st.
Louis railroad has arrived At New York with
authority to demand Of the company the pay
ment OF the overdue interest on the bonds.
and, il payment is refused, to apply for the
appointment OF a receiver. The bondholders
have become weary Of accepting promises to
pay in lieu Of the cash.
The opinions of Hon. William NJ. Evarts
and Judge d. Il. Curtis regarding the consti-
nationality Of the Wisconsin Railroad law have
been published in full. Both gentlemen pro-
nounce the law to be unconstitutional, mainly
because it takes the property Of the roads
without compensation.
