Suit was some days ago instituted in
the Fifth District Court by Robert Wor-
rell and A. i. Brown. each praying for
an injunction to restrain j. 7. Harlowe,
tax collector of Tensas parish, from
drawing out Of the Canal Bank funds
deposited with it by him, and also an
injunction restraining the bank from
honoring any check OF Harlowe drawn
against said funds.
Petitioners alleged, as grounds for
their prayer, that they are on the Off
cial bond of the defendant; that he has
collected large amount OF taxes; that
he refuses to pay over to the State or
parish officers the taxes collected, and
that they fear that he will prove dere-
lict to his duty and thereby make them
liable to the amount Of his bond.
The injunctions as prayed for were
issued, but Harlowe cannot be found.
He has disappeared, and with him Is
missing u large amount OF money--be-
tween eight and ten thousand dollars
belonging to the school fund of Tensas
parish.
He was not only tax collector, but was
also treasurer or the Parish School
Board, and he retained the money col
lected by him on the school tux, and
did not deposit 1t with his other collec-
tions.
He has recently been removed from
his position of. tax collector, and would
undoubtedly have got the money on de-
post in the Canal Bank IL his bonds
men had not been too quick for him.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-There slipped
into the Senate Committee on the
Judiciary, on Friday, petition which,
IL not handled carefully, may get the
United States into a diplomatic wrangle
with England. It is o petition for an
investigation Of the Mexican awards,
especially of the connection Of Sir
Edward Thornton as referee with the
same. Corrupt and base motives are
alleged against the British Minister,
and specific charge Of bribery is laid
against one Of his clerks. To give q
clear understanding OF this most un-
natural case, it is necessary to first
speak of the history OF the person
making the charge, and of his particu-
lar grievance against England's Am
bassador. His name is Alfred A. Green.
He is said to be an American adventu-
rer, whose sphere of operations ex-
tends over North America. He was in
Mexico at the time Of the Mexican war,
and says he was colonel in the SER
vice of the country. In fact, portion
OF his claim of over 100000 against
the Mexican government was for such
service in her behalf. In Mexico he
bore the reputation OF an adven-
turer, as be has since done In California
and In Washington. He had a claim
against Mexico. mostly for loss said to
have been sustained by him through the
destruction and depreciation OF silver

the people.
It would be needless to ask the people
OF this State which OF these two bodies
they will recognize and sustain as their
lawful State government. They have
answered that question by acts that
speak more forcfbly than words. The
question Is, will they, IL need be, sus-
tain the Nichols government by force
Of arms, and at all hazards :? II there
remains in this people one spark OF
manhood, IL they have any claims to
be called free American citizens, nay, IL
they can rise but one degree above the
veriest slaves, there can be but one an
swer to this question. II there Is one
assertion that can be made with more
absolute certainty than any other it is,
that they have lost no particle Of their
part OF their claim to their glorious birth
right Of American citizenship. They
are calm, but resolute and united in
| their determination to vindicate their
rights and their honor, by maintaining
| the lawful government OF the State at
! all hazards and at any cost.
Denying the right of the Federal
Government to set up or pull down
State governments at its will; appeal
! ing only to the constitution, they do
not ask for recognition or support from
any power outside of the State. All
they ask is that the. federal power
should be restricted within the limits
I imposed by the constitution and allow
the people OF the State to regulate the
affairs Of the State in accordance with
the laws and the constitution. If this
Is done, not drop OF blood will be
shed and no mans rights will be

cOlored cadet who has so successfully bIav-

TORNADO AT NORTHAMPTON - BRID3E
Across THE CONNECTICUT SWEPT AWAY.
-Ihe well known Hadley highway bridge
over the Connecticut river, located mile
east OF Northampton, Mass, was totally
wrecked by tornado Thursday afternoon
Of last week, and IL persons and teams
were carried with 1t into the river, Mrs.
Catherine Sullivan Of Hadley being Killed
sheriff Enos +. Cook of Hadley badly
wounded, and several others injured. T.
NJ. Place, the bridge-keeper, was standing
looking into ii toward The east, when he
felt the first gush of the tornado. This was
about l:45 o'clock, and for a moment or
two the bridge seemed TO be completely
filled from floor to roof, its entire length
with dirt, completely hiding from his view
the persons and teams that were on the
structure. An instant later the full shock
OF the whirlwind came, striking the bridge
and tipping ii, twisted il TO pieces as one
might hurriedly tear up handful of straw
Atler the crash came it was found that Mrs
Sullivan had been fatally crushed by the
falling timbers, so that she breathed but a
moment after her body was lifted out of
the ruins by men who climbed out on the
fallen timbers. All the men were able TO
reach the shores without help except Sher-
i'll Cook. The path of the tornado was
about ten miles long and a mile wide, and
u came from northwesterly direction.
Not great amount of rain fell, and il was
accompanied with lightning and hail. Sew
eral tobacco barns were unrooied or blown
down and large trees were uprooted. The
wreck OF lhe bridge was complete, and the
seven piers, blackened by age, stand out in
the river like so many monuments. No
part, except the western span, hung to-
gether in the fall, and the timbers, roof
and sides lie in the water, wedged together,
forming continuous crossing for most the
width of the stream. The unfinished Gen.
trail railroad bridge above was cleared ofits
lrestle-Work.

a WESTERN CLERICAL ScANDAL.-One
CT the worst of the many recent clerical
scandals comes from Hannibal, Mo. Rev.
John Foster, who figured quite prominent
iy in the Moody and Sankey meetings at
Chicago, was called 10 the pastorate of
church in Hannibal laS fall, and entered
upon his duties with great zeal aud energy.
During the winter he took conspicuous
part in a series OF union revival meetings
which resulted In many conversions.
Meanwhile, however, unfavOrable rumors
began to circulate about the new minister,
and an investigation has been quietly GO
ing on which shows that the clerical gen.
tlemau has already live or six wives. 1t
was discovered that, while the mans real
name is probably Foster, he has at differ
ent times passed under assumed names.
Iu 1850, while in college, he was a professor
of religion and studying for the min isiry,
but allerward took TO the law. He was
first married in 1852, but about 1868 he de-
serted his wife, leaving her with five chill
dren dependent upon her for support. He
then bigamously married young girl in
Vermont, and persuaded her parents TO
sell their little home and, with him, move
West. The father-in-law soon AFTER died,
aud Foster, having squandered this wo-
mans estate, gathered a large amount OF
money and departed, leaving her, with one
child and her aged mother, in destitute
circumstances. Without waiting for de-
cree OF divorce he married the third,
fourth, itlb and sixth time. His plan OF
operations seems 10 have been TO abandon
the woman in each case when her money
was gone and his credit among her rela-
tions was lost. He is also charged with
various embellishments, and has been con-
fined in prison upon at least two occasions
as The result of these crimes. Meanwhile
he has played the role of a minister. When
confronted with these facts by the investi-
eating committee he alternately hesilaled,
prevaricated and denied, and finally owned
that he had been a very wick ed man, but
said that he had been converted and had
reformed two years ago, and it wasn't fair
TO bring up his old record against him. He
was given twenty-four hours to resign. and
he cleared out. with his present wife, who
is said to be a most eslimable woman. He
claimed that he was going to Michigan, but
it is said that he went into western New
York and reported himself as still pastor
of the Hannibal church, enjoying a six
months vacation at the OK peuse of his par
ish. A meeting of the church was held,
at which the committee reported the facts
already given, and others showing that
since becoming pastor at Hannibal, Foster
has been guilty of of1enses wick ed in them
selves, but more important as indicating
that his alleged conversion in Kansas was
a sham and a fraud. The church, by a
unanimous vote. expelled him from mem
bership, and warn churches in New York
and New England TO be on their guard
against him.

OBITUARY.-Rev. John S. c. Abbott, the
well known historical and biographical
writer, died at Fair Haven, CT, Sunday,
after long Illness, at the age of II. Mr..
Abbotrs first literary work Of any note was
1.-THE Mother at Home" which was pub
lshed in 1888, and has been translated into
a number of European and Asiatic Lam
guages. He was VOlnninuus writer OF
history and biography, but the most pre-
tenlious and best know OF these works are
his lives of Napoleon Bonaparte and Louis
Napoleon, and his history Of our civil war.
Mr.. Abbott was a brilliant and graphic
writer, but his mind was not judicial
enough for a historical writer, and his lives
of the two Napoleons were too much occu-
pied with panegyrcs Of his heroes and ad-
ulation and defense of their least praise
worthy acts.
George T. Davis, for many yeas well
known lawyer and editor at Greenfield,
Mass, died at Portland, Me-, at the age OF
81. While at Greenfield Mr.. Davis eslab-
lished and conducted for some time the
Franklin Mercury, served in both branches
OF the Legislature and served one term in
Congress. He was a strong lawyer and a
man of broad and varied culture.
Daniel ID. Pratt, ex United Stales senator
and commissioner Of internal revenue for
some time under President Grant, died
suddenly of heart disease Sunday, while
sitting in his chair al his house at Logans-
port, Ind, and debating to his daughter.
John Petit, prominent Indiana polti-
clan and public man, died at Lafayette,
Ind, Sunday night, aged 20.
