Gov. ALLEN, of Ohio, is decidedly
opposed to nepotism. The Lebanon
(Ohio) Patriot says: civilian Allen
does not believe IN Grants theory of
appointing his relatives to Office. One
of the Directors of the Ohio Peniten-
tiary, appointed by Gov. Allen, sue
ceeded in getting his nephew appointed
Assistant Warden, which so invoked
the wrath of Farmer Allen that he pro-
poses to remove that offending Director
from Office. Gov. Allen is decidedly
opposed to mixing any nepotism in his
administration, and the honest old
farmer is right-as he generally is. :"

The Murder Of Rev. Mr.. sfeFhens-De-

NEW YORK, April 27.-Rev. Daniel
r. Watkins, Protestant missionary at Qua
dalaJara, Mexico, has addressed letter to
the Secretary Of the American Board of
Foreign Missions, giving an account Of the
murder of Nh. Stephens. He says Mr.. Ste
phens had been in hay-loft but a few min
utes When furious thrOng entered where
he had crowd,ref uge. Seeing soldiers in
F b taken he rao them, thinking they
had come to his help, and when he cried out.
"Protect me, protect me-" they replied
.sThey come, they Gomez and at the same
time soldiers and others discharged their
muskets and other fire arms on our be-
loved brother, killing him instantly. One
shot entered his eve and several his breast.
As soon as the villains reached him they
used their swords, cutting his head literally
to pieces and taking the brains out, it
is said, with sticks. They afterward
robbed his body of every article he had on,
and the house of everything he had. They
took all his books and burned them in the
public place. A small English Bible that
was in the Martyrs hand when he died
shared the same fate, and lest the awful
crime should fail TO prove an utmost bar
barity, they entered the church and an
nounced the deed well done by ringing
twice a merry peal of bells.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.
woman's Rights Won by a Woman
LAWYER,


CHICAGO, April 27.-An important de-
cision was rendered IN the United States
District Court to-day, by Judge Blodgett,
in a case involving the right of the wife or
daughter of bankrupt TO hold against his
assignee personal property given them by
said bankrupt in payment for services rem
dered as his clerk or agent. In this case
the assignee of Jonathan Hay, a dealer in
musical instruments and sewing machines
at Freeport, ILL.,, who, having absconded,
was thrown into bankruptcy, seized upon
piano belonging to Hays daughter, and
several sewing machines in the possession
of Mrs. Hay, which they claimed
were turned over to them by the husband
and father in payment Of their services in
his store. Judge Blodgett to-day decided
that the plaintiffs were legally entitled 10
the goods in question and ordered the as
signee to return them to their possession.
The case possesses additional interest
from the fact it has been carried on through
out on the part of the plaintiffs, by Miss
Alta NJ. 'Hulet, the lady lawyer of this
city.

EARLY in February three millions Of
people were dependent on the East Indian
authorities for food. To get supplies for
such an immense multitude has been no
easy task, but when they are collected, the
want of good roads and the means of trans
portation, saying nothing Of stormy weather
and other climatic difficulties, renders the
work of relief slow and in many respects
unsatisfactory. BY tremendous exertion
much has been done, however, and at latest
acronnts the number of the worst sufferers
had been reduced 10 about half million.

the situation is fat brighter than it was a
few weeks ago,

The Women Go for a Free Lunch, and
Get CuGed and Pushed out.
COLUMBUS, o., April 2T.-The crusade
matters haze been very quiet here for some
time, until this morning and now the old
time excitement is up again. Charles
Wagner, proprietor Of All eating and drink
ing house on High street, advertised
grand opening to-day, proposing to- sell
several liquors bearing the name of the
Crusade Water" and the names of one or
two of the prominent ladies connected
with the crusade. Upon seeing this adj
vertisement, seventy ladies marched to his
place to-day, and a small squad headed by
Mrs. DesSellem, President of the Ladies'
League, stepped into the store and said
they had accepted his invitation to a free
lunch and would like a little crusade
water. Wagner refused to sell or give
them any.
They then attempted to pass into the
dining-rOom when Wagner ordered the
party from his premises. The party re
fused to leave, saying he had invited the
public, and they as part Of them had
come to get their part of the good things.
Wagner then seized several ladies and
pushed them out of doors. He then
grabbed Mrs. DeSsellem by the arm and
pushed her toward the door, and some of
the ladies say he struck her, but several
men present say he only pushed her.
Wagner's wife then seized Mrs. Dessellem.
BY the Throat
while Wagner commenced his work on the
other ladies. Men from the outside then
rushed in and for time awar of words
and some little scuffling took place. A
posse of police had arrived by this time
and the trouble was over for the time. A
large crowd congregated in the street and
blockaded the sidewalk. The police clear
ed the walk and commanded the ladies to
Keep Moving.
They Obeyed this order by walking in pro
cesSiOn up and down in front of Wagner's
place. The crowd of men would have dis
persed at the suggestion of the police, but
Wagner begged them to stay, saying he
would bail out of Jail any man arrested for
Obstructing the sidewalk. Wagner's men
have been washing the pavement for long
time, but the crowd and the crusaders are
still on duty, but no further trouble is an
ticipated.
Night Report.
The crowd in front of Wagner's restau-
rant this afternoon, about O'Clock, became
so large that Capt. Keller persuaded the
ladies to leave the street. They then re-
pared to the yard connected with the High
Street Methodist Church and held prayer
meeting during the balance of the after
noon. A warrant was sworn against Wag-
ner for his assault on Mrs. Dessellem and
the case will be heard tomorrow.

THE Republican journals which ia
vored initiation are saying unkind
things of Grant just now. The Indian
Gpolis Journal says:
1.-THE first official utterance of Presi-
dent Grant was to the effect that he would
have no policy to enforce against the
will of the people. In the light Of his
last message it seems that he referred
to particular class of people.
The President should be given an
other opportunity to change his views
by the prompt passage by the Senate
of the House free banking bill. 1t is
possible that the wind might not be in
the East when this measure would be
submitted for his approval"

LITTLE Rock, April 27.-There is no
material change between the two belliger-
ent Governors or the United States forces.

siege piece from the lower end of town
where it was used by the Confederate
forces during the war and stationed it at
the corner of Markham and Scott streets.

forces were increased by the arrival of one
company from Hampstead county to-day.
A portion of Brooks forces now occupy the
Benjamin block opposite the Statehouse
and were drilling to-day. Both sides are
expecting reinforcements tonight.
The people genrally seem to be satisfied
that the Legislature should settle the pend
ing difficulty, though the Books side say
the Legislature will not meet in obedience
to Baxter's call. Col. O'Sullivan of the
Brooks side, who was wounded in the
skirmish of Tuesday last, is getting on
finely and hopes are now entertained of his
recovery. Both srdes have sent delegations
to Washington to present their side of the
question.

RAILROAD SUBSCRIPTION.

the proposition viii undoubtedly carry.
Pulaski has too much enterprise, knows too
well the immense advantagesat a small
cost to be derived from another railroad,
and such an one as this will be, and values

estimate to reject the offer now made.

most striking feature in the new work is a
memorial window to the late Thomas Mar
