do not pretend to give the speech In
full but his remarks were SO intensely
ly partisan and the speech SO plainly
intended to capture the movement
that some man in the audience called
out to the speaker "Therc, we have
had enough Of that sort of truck"
The same sentiments were uttered
simultaneously from fifty threats and
amid the greatest confusion Mr.
Courtney, from the platform, at the
top Of his voice said, eyes we have
We don't want any democratic
speeches here. Said he had been a
republican all his life but had left
for the laboring mems party and did
not propose to hear political speeches
He was cheered to the echo, the
audience fairly raising the roof from
the house.
Pat Brady said that inasmuch as
Tisdale had been called out it was
right that he SHOULD be permitted to
go on. Tisdale commenced again,
applying himself to the "good old
democratic party" which.he said had
in favoring the working men fairly
earned the title Of tho "barcfooted
democracy"
Here the confusion commenced
again with redoubled force and the
speaker was drowned out.
As soon as he had taken his seat p,
II. Riordan took the floor and said
that the democratic party had had a
Tweed and Tilden and for his
part he had enough of it,"
He was interrupted by Tisdale
with "Well, You voted for Tilden,
didn't you?"

voted for you, too, and am sorry for
it,"
BY this time every man in the
house was on his feet and the excite
ment was intense.
The President finally got the atten-
ton of the people, quiet was restor-
ed and the meeting adjourned to
meet at the call Of the committee.

WORSE TEAM MURDER.

We do not remember of ever hay.
ing to record q crime which, in lis
horror and fiendish conception equals
that which occurred near Farming
ton on Saturday evening last.
The victim was Miss Mary Weyer,
aged l6 years, daughter of Mr.. VIM.
| Weyer, a worthy farmer and good
citizen, residing miles southwest OF
Pennington. She had walked to town
on Saturday last to attend to some
trading for her parents, and late in
the afternoon started for home, hav-
ing accomplished her mission. To
avoid distance and as q more conven-
lent road to walk upon, she selected
the grade of the b. Il w. railroad, and
had not proceeded great d istance
from town when she was oy ertaken
by three persons who Immediately
entered into conversation with her,
and after harrassing and insulting
her with abusive language as she pro-
ceeded homeward, one of the party,
named Ed. Howell, took hold of her,
when to within threc-fourths of a
mile of Boyer Station-forced her
from the railroad grade, and after she
had exhausted her strength in the
scutlle that ensued, succeeded in &C.
complishing his hellish purpose.
The other two parties, VIM. Howell
and Geo. O. Smith stood by as wit
nesses and equals in the crime, until
they were driven off by the approach
of Mr.. Whitlock, who had been at
tracted to the place by the screams OF
the young woman, which he plainly
heard at his residence, half a mile
distant. As Mr.. Whitlock approach
ed the three rope-deserving scoun-
drels made their escape through the
woods. Miss Weyer was found in a
helpless and inscnsible condition, UNI
able to raise from her position on the
ground. Her clothes had been torn
almost from her body and scattered
in every direction. She was at once
assisted To her home and the alarm
given.
Circumstancial evidence pointed to
the three parties above named. On
Monday last warrants were issued for
their arrest and placed in the hands
of Mr.. j. r. Strope, who in company
with Mr.. Samuel Giles and Geo. Mil
Ter started in pursuit. Arriving at
the residence of Mr.. Fuqua (step-fath-
er of the Howell brothers) four miles
north of Bonapartc. the three parties
were discovered. In the attempt to
arrest them Ed. Howell, the leader,
escaped. VIM. Howell and Smith
were then taken to Pennington, and
in the preliminary examination were
identified by Miss Weyer as two of
the number.
Yesterday they were brought to
this city and the grand jury being in
session, at once took charge of the
case. Howell and Smith are in Jail
awaiting the action ofjury and court.
LhTER-Ed. Howell was captured
last night.
