The Cheyenne Leader says: Last
evening, shortly after eight O'Clock.
Miss Jennie Martin, sister-in-law Of
our CITY Clerk, George b. Stimson.
aged fifteen walked up Seventeenth
street. She was leading her sisters
child and was accompanied by Miss
Minnie Montgomery, a girl of about
the same age, Reaching Eddy
street the two crossed il, and at I'm
derwood and McGregor's cornner
turned to go up Eddy street intend
} ing to visit the Catholic church.
Miss Montgomery noticed several
colored boys PLAYING in the middle Of
the street. but paid no attention to
them. The girls walked along and
had gotten bat few yards from the
corner-Miss Montgomery being on
the outer edge OF the walk, with the
child between her and Miss Martin
when the latter's head being turned
slightly toward the building, a shot
was fred almost in Miss Montgomery
face and her companion fell upon the
walk. small round hole in the light
temple, near 10 and little above the
eye, showing where the bullet enter
ed the brain of the unfortunate girl
Miss Montgomery at once screamed
for aid, aud, before it reached her,
endeavored to raise the body herself,
the right hand Of the murdered girl
still elasping that of ber little rela-
tive.
People rushed to the spot, and the
corpse was conveyed first to Fred
Lsndau's market, when after the face
had been washed, it was taken to
Mr.. Simpsons residence, where an
inquest will be held upon it to-day.
At FIRST speculation was rife as to
how and by whom the deed was
committed Two or three ladies who
were walking on Ferguson street
heard the shot, and Immediately az
ter met q man running at headlong
speed in the direction of the depot.
1t was thought by some that be had
fred the fatal shot, probably by aeci-
dent, and becoming alarmed, was
hurrying TO catch some outbound
train. Our vigilsn. Sheriff, Nick
O'Brien, was on hand, however. and
within an hour after the commission
of the act the suspected party was
lodged in jail. II proved to be
young eolOred hoodlum named But
Ter.
A rather well authenticated report
reaches us to the effect that young
Butler has made threats against the
life of Miss Martin, and if this be
true there can be no doubt but that
be committed the fearful act deliber-
ately-creeping quietly upon bis vic
tim. taking only to sure aim, and
pulling the trigger with the coolness
and skill Of practiced marksman.
We hope that il was not planned
murder, but even il accidental the
boy, or those who allow him to carry
a deadly weapon, should suffer for
this appalling act.

DIR. MeCosh on Miracles

In his reply to DIR. Carpenter undel
the heading. "Prepossessions for and
Against the Supernatural" DIR. Me
Gosh says:
Everybody acknowledges that all
witnesses are not to be trusted vet
in the common affairs of life, in trials,
in history, we do find testimony
which we implicitly believe. To the
great body even of educational men,
scientific knowledge depends upon
the trustwortbiuess of those who
have made the observations and ex.
periments. Notwithstanding all pre-
conceptions, there are declarations Of
men Of science as to matters of fact
which we can trust; and it would be
a violation of their whole nature, in
fact it would be a miracle, were they
to deceive us. DR.. Carpenter is en-
titled to credit for having helped to
expose the fooleries and rogueries Of
spirit rapping, rope-tying, and of lev
itation. But be seems to think that
it is possible by the same method to
undermine the miracles of the Old
and New Testiment. All who have
inquired carefully into the subject see
that the testimony in favor OF spirit
ualis,ic manifestation cannot stand
the common tests Of evidence. But
il las been maintained by many Of
the creates, and most ssgaeiOus
minds, and by the highest moral
minds which our world has produced.
that the testimony 10 behalf of the
essential events Of the New Testi-
ment cannot be set aside without un-
dermining the whole of ancient histo-
Nv. Even at first sight the spiritual
seances and performers have no NOR
sl prestige in their favcr. The pro-
ducts are unworthy Of God, and in-
consistent with His mode Of opera
ton in nature. We can discover mo-
tiyes enough TO induce them to act
as they do-such as the desire to cre-
ate wouder-with some the hope Of
getting money. How different with
our Lord, who, 50 far from taking
advantage of the wonder-loving spirit
of the Jews, actually restrained it |!
The wonders Of the Spirituallsts are
performed in rooms prepared for that
purpose or in darkness, whereas the
miracles of our Lord were performed
in open day, in unexpected circum.
stances, and before all men. Then
the whole teaching of Jesus was to-
tally above and altogether opposed
to the spirit of his age and
natior, and only exposed
Him and His followers to oppropri-
um, poverty and suffering.
