INDIAN MURDERS. -L1T1LB Rock,
April 3.-Three Indians are to be
hung at Fort Smith to-day fr murders
committed in the indian country.
John REILLY, a full blooded Choctaw,
killed in November last Perry Duvall,
Deputy u. S. Marshall who was at
tempting to arrest him on tle charge
of killing negro. He was desperate
dreaded throughout the country. j.
Fillmore, also full blooded Choctow,
was another one Of them. he was
but sixteen year ofage and was utterly
unconcernea about his fate. The last
Of June he went out to kill man and
rob him, being to indolent and W ORTIZ
less to work for living. He met a
poor traveller, who had come all the
way from California on foot. After
passing, he turned back and passed
the traveller again, aud when, few
steps ia advance, wheeled, and shot
him dead. the entire body was a
dollar and a half, and pair of shoes.
The name of the next victim was John
Painter, fullblooded Seminole Indian
connected with the murder of drover
4 of the Choctaw nation, last fall. He
declared his innocence. Yesterday
with much feeling he said he had to
die for deed committed by another
person. He was believed by the
prison, keepers to be innocent. q

TO NEW RA ILROAD
LAWS.


New York, April 6.--Mr. S. S.
Morrill,, General Supe rinteuaeut ofthe
Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railroad, aud
Mr.. Il. e.. Porter, General SUI err~
tendent of The Chicago & Northw vest
ern Railway, were in this city during
the greater part of last week, and
Saturday afternoon these gentlemen,
who have the management of over g.
600 miles Of railroad, attended Joint
meeting of the Boards Of Directors of
these two corporations. Besides the
full Boards, there were present Messrs.
Charles O'Couor, B. f. Curtis, William
M. Evarts, e. r. Hoar, and the regular
attorneys of the companies, together
with the Hon. Alexander Mitchell,
who had been summoned from Wash
ington for this special purpose. ..,.
The meeting had been called in
order that the Boards might consider
what action it was, advisable for them
to take in regard to the new Railroad
or Granger laws of Iowa, Minnesota,
and Wisconsin.
Messrs. Merrill and Porter made
statements to the effect that it would
be impossible to operate the roads Of
which they have charge under these
laws, or to run them so as to pay ex-
penses. They agreed in giving it as
their belief that, if the laws were lived
up to, the roads would no more than
pay expenses, and certainly could not
pay anything to the stock holders, even
if they could pay the interest on the
bonds. They said that the operating
expenses were fully IS per cent of the
gross receipts, and that the reduction
of freights resulting from an enforce
ment Of these laws would diminish the
receipts IS per cent, which would re-
suit almost inevitably in a failure to pay
interest on the bonds, SO that the roads
would be lost to the stock holders and
taken possession of by the bondholders.

WHAT WILL THEY DO!

1t is reported that the railways of
he state intend to contest the legality
ae the recent act of the Legislature in
regulating freight and passenger tariffs
~ their lines. The railway managers
will have to come to some action soon
II they are determined to stand out as
ne 2S:h of April is the time fixed
f,ar the law to take effect. It il un-
ssrstood that if the companies discbey
tie law suits will be commenced
'gainst them aad an effort made to
ring them up to the full letter Of the
ew. In our opinion the companies
ill not place the law at defiance, but
~vslI work under it until the next meet
az of the legislature, trusting then tor
s;ther repeal of the measure or modi-
aeation of the obnoxious portions of the
tet. 1t would neither be wise Or profit
sbEe on the part Of che railroads to dis
hey the statute, and they are as likely
"a see their interests IN the direction
,ftheir pockets as private individuals
arc.
By the provisions of this bill rates
generally will be reduced from Is to
"a 45,p per cent. It is asserted that
lad the law been in force in 1873. the
earnings of the Milwaukee & St. Paul
hallway would have been a half a mil
Lon less than it was. .- =.

The laws in question were then read
to the lawyers present. and were care
fully onsidered by them. They were
unanimous in opinion that these enact
ments We're unconstitutional, and would
never be sustaiuedby the United States
Supreme Crurt, although they might
be by the inferior State and Federal
Courts, which were surrounded aud to
certain extent, Influenced by local
influences. These laws, in their opin-
ion, were not HUG more or less than
acts of confscation. Their opinions
are to be revised and writ ten by them,
and will serve the roads as their justifi-
cation for the course they intend pur-
suing.

The Temperance Crusade.

RIPoN, April 3.--The temperance
raid continued without any remarkably
new features The ladies this after
noon started out to the number of about
forty, and paraded the streets, singing
hymns as they went, but did not stop
at any of the saloons In the forenoon
they sent out attachments of two each
to call at the saloons with appeals to
the dealers to quit. These petitions
were in double column, over fifteen
feet long, and bore the signatures Of
l,12S persons. None of the saloon
men have acceded to the demands, but
three of them have expressed strong
desire to give up the business forever
if the, could only save the value of
their stocks on hand for their families.
In answer to questions as to when they
expected to stop the raid, the ladies
said they had no design of stopping
at all so long as saloons existed in the
place, and five of them declared that
they might just as we'll die in the tenn
peFance war as any other good cause
The result of city and ward nominations
gives general encouragement to the
temperance people, and no effort will
be spared between now and the day
of election to wake up all the strength
the cause can muster. sn9 -.
WAupuN, April 8 The temperance
movement is stirring the people here
to an unusual degree. .. a-.a. g.
The Ladies Union League is daily
circulating petitions against the ex-
Tension of licenses to the saloons, and
last night a strong temperance ticket
was nominated for city officers on the
temperance platform, which will be
elected without much doubt. The
members of tho Catholic Church are
taking sides with the temperance PEG
pie, and on Sunday night hold mass
meeting to extend their operations aud
further their views II will. be ad-
dressed by the Rev. Father Willard,
of Fond du Lac, one Of the strong
workers in the Temperance field
BRANDON, April 3.-Agitation still
continues here without abatement in
the temperance movement Daily
meetings are held by the societies and
the friends of temperance, and fourteen
petitions in two classes-one to the
dealers and the other to the citizens
are in circulation, and receiving long
lists of signatures. 1.-.@ =

DEATH OF A PROMINENT CoNGREGA
TloNAL MINISTER sudden death
of the Rev. Edward N. Kirk, ID. D.,
of Boston, on Friday last, at the age
of Il removes from the Congregational
denomination one of it's soundest and
ablest divines He had been in his
usual good health up to IL o'clock A.
NJ. at which time he was seized with
an attack of appoplexy while writing
tie at once became insensible and did
not again return to consciousness
After nine years pastorate in Albany,
some years labor as an Evangelist, in
1912 he took charge of tbs Mount
Vernon Congregational Church in
Boston, of which at his death, he was
senior pastor though for the past three
years he has not been in active service.
His success III Boston was remarkable.
The church to which he ministe-ed be-
came one of the strongest in the city ;
revivals wore frequent its prayer
meetings were always full, and in all
benevolent work it was always fore
most Toward the close IF his minis
try, DR.. Kirk explained one Friday
evening, the reasons of the uniform
good attendance upon the social meet
ings of the church. "Oae reason is,
| think be said "that ] never have
scolded them for not coming" The
explanation may be service.ble to some
other ministers. By pureress, by wis
dom, by sincerity of speech this good
man earned good degree among his
fellows, and will long be remembered
in tho city where he has lived and in
the denomination to whose work he has
contributed SO much of christian zeal and
enterprise. He was never married.

Desperate Fighting in CIla.

New York, April Al letter
from Havana says that on be 10th
Of March Ctptain- General Jovelar took
precautionary measures for pptecting
the exchange Of officers Rmors of
manifestations to be made against those
institutions were aHoat. Wrd was
sent to the Spanish Admirable have
the marines in readiness for landing at
moments notice. Howitzep were
mounted in the bows Of the Lunches
of the Spanish men-of war, naey to
be landed. Several groups f men
were quietly dispersed. t
The same letter says that the &C
counts obtainable of the battle OF G uasi-
mis- show that it was one of tie hard
est contested fights that has takn place
between the insurgents and tn, Span
iards. OF the wounded who were
brought to HAVANA almost all rcelved
their injuries by the musket They
report that they were over tw, hours
fighting at close quarters. Bigadier
Arminian, with about 5000 men,
calvalry, infantry and ARTILLERY, be-
coming aware of the massing of the
insurgents under Meximo Gomez,
marched forward, and on the 18th en-
countered them IN force. An attack
was Immediately begun by the Cubans
so that Arminian had barely lime to
form square, placing his artillery in
the center, the cavalry being ordered to
cut its way through the enemy's lines
and procure reinforcemeuts at Puerto
Principle. The cavalry was tearfully
cut up, worry few being left to bring
the news of the critical position of the
Spinish column. These succeeded in
reaching Puerto Principe With their
pursuers close at their heels. Briga-
der Baccones. with column Of 2 900,
started out, but had hardly gone be-
yond the suburbs of Puerto Principe
before he was attacked by the Cubans.
Bascones succeeded in passing on, and
had another severe encounter with the
insurgents, finally uniting his column
with tibet Of Aruinian. The loss Of
the Spaniards has been very severe,
and it is reported that over forty Off
GERS. are killed and wounded. Both
sides fought with great bravery.

The Payment Of the Rebel Debt

is another scheme that is broadly limited at
in many parts Of the South. and is without
doubt, one Of the projects to which the lead
ing Democrats of that section would ad-
dress themselves il the time should ever
come when majority of the Northern
States and the General Government should
be in sbe hands of the party which helped
the rebels in their work of destroying the
Union
These are not fanciful Issues They are
real dangers, either to be met face to face,
or else to be squelched in their inception
by the continued success of that org aniza-
ton which crushed rebellion, gave freedom
to the slaves, and destroyed the slave hold
