BILLINGS DAUGHTERS ANGUISH.

THE PARTING, AND TIE TAKING OF THE
FATHER TO THE JAIL IN BALLsToN.
After his arrest and shortly before the
officers were about to take him away, Bill
lings turned to Maggie Mahoney, the ser
yant, and bade her go up stairs and ask
Jennie whether she wished to see papa
The daughter sent back word that she did
At the door of the room In which the daugh
ter was awaiting the interview, Deputy
sheriffs Wolf and Gilbert stopped, and
Billings entered alone. The officers were
in full view of the two. For an instant
father and daughter stood facing each other
their faces convulsed with anguish, while
both seemed choking bsck the rising sobs
The daughter was first to give way, and
with q scream she threw herself into her
fathers outstretched arms and said: ooh
father, mother is dead, and they will bury
her tomorrow, And now they will hang
you" The poor girl afterward uttered
shrek after shrek and sank helpless IL

Billings was hurried into carriage an6
driven rapidly to Saratoga. . In Saratoga
the excitement had preceded them, and the
streets were thronged with people who fol
lowed the carriage up and down the street
Arrangements having been made the car
riagc was driven rapidly to the Town Hall
and the prisoner taken out before the ar
rival of the crowd and hurried into tn,
office of Justice Shepherd. The delay ther'
was brief, the prisoner waving an examina
ton.
The officers fearing that their prisone
might be taken from them and lynched
left the carriage in which they had arrive;
at the main entrance, and another was pro
cured and taken around to the rear. BIZ
lings was taken down through the celia
way and out through back door. Hardl
were they seated In the wagon-Billing
fast shsckled to Deputy Wolf-when th
crowd caught sight of the wagon, and raj
toward them with cries of "Lynch him J
"Shoet the murderer |" "Kill the scoun

The whip was applied to the horses, an
away they dashed toward Ballston. A
soon as the wagon was out of the village
Billings drew Sigh of relief, and expresse
gratitude, acknowledging that while ther
he was afraid. During the ride to Ballstor
Billings repeatedly eaid that they woul

day. Secretary Sherman and the commits
sioner of internal revenue sent letters regret
ting their absence. o. G. Hale, cashier of
the State national bank, of Keokuk, read
paper on Subsidiary Silver Coinage" hold
ing that congress should provide for the re-
demption of subsidiary IN legal-tender com,
and that this would relieve the banks from
the appearance of accumulating unavailable
funds aud give currency to coin, extending
its circulation to the profit and convenience
of the people.
Mr.. J. D. Hayes, Of Detroit, read a paper
On Hard Times" He said: Tell us how
to invest from one dollar to fifty millions that
will pay. expenses and bring back FIVE per
cent, and the money stands ready and anx-
ious to step into business. There are over
twenty-five hundred millions of railroad
bonds and stocks which pay the ownres
nothing. There is five hundred millions in
iron furnaces and manufacturing establish
ments idle, and six hundred millions IN ship
ping hopelessly tied up. Shall We clear for
ests of lumber and convert it into money?
We make enough now annually to load
continuous train thirty thousand miles long.
The purchasing power ct money is about
three times as much as In times OF imitation.
Irredeemable money would not help US out.
We have no greater proportion of poor men
than other Countries. There are. numerous
persons waiting for something to turn up,
too lazy to work, trying to get something for
nothing"

The people Of the Mohawk Valley are en-
Toying an old-fashioned anti-rent war. One
of the enemy-that is to say, the anti-renters
named Charles Montague has been ar
rested and now lies in Ludlow street Jail,
New York. The acts Of inoendlarism with
which he is charged, as we learn from the
World. were committed within fourteen
miles of Fonda, in the towns of Root and
Charleston, Montgomery county. Fonda is
ths county town. Mr. Clarke, the PATRON,
and with whom the anil renters are at war,
owns twelve thousand acres of land in Mont
gomery county. This land, with thirty thou
sand acres in other counties, was granted to
Mr.. Clarke's grandfather before the revolu-
ton. Less than two thousand acres of the
entire estate have been sold since then.
When the present owner came into possession
thirty-fve years ago violent anti-rent feel
ing was engendered in Montgomery county.
That feeling steadily intensified, and in 1878
it took expression in arson. Since then the
torch has been applied 10 about thirty houses,
with barns and other buildings on the prop
erty, entailing a loss, according to Mr..
Clarke's figures, Of forty-six thousand dol
lars. He estimates also that property to the
amount of twenty-four thousand dollars has
been destroyed by other means than fire.

Special to the Appeal. ]

Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, August THE six-year-old
daughter of Daniel Crisman, prominent cit
izen of Williamson county, was, on last Fri
day, returning home by road leading
through thicket, when CALVIN Beatty, a big,
heavy-set mulatto, eighteen years old, seized
her and dragged her into the bushes and out
ragged her person in the most horrible man
ner. The negro was arrested Saturday, and
was fully identified by the girl, as was also
the dog that was with him at the time. He
was also identified by persons who had seen
him hanging about Crisman's premises. He
was taken to Franklin and jailed. The jaiier
had cause to believe he might be lynched,
and for several nights kept the jail guarded.
No attempt at lynching having been made his
suspicious were luled, and the guards were
dismissed at eleven o'clock last night, prom
ising to send two guards, however, IN their
place. An hour afterward the tramp of one
hundred and fifty horses was heard. and then
came a knock upon the iailer's door.
"Whose there?" asked the jailer. Friend"
was softly responded. what do you
want" asked the jailer. "We have come for
Calvin Beatty, and we intend to have him.
We don't want to frighten you nor harm
you; we are aware of your position and re-
spect 1t. Just quietly give US the keys and
stay in your ROOM ''You can't get any
keys; will die before give them up, said
the jailer. KNOCK down the door," said
man in an undertone, and it was done. Three
men rushed into the hall through the breach,
when the jailer and his wife met them. she
exclaiming: "Oh, gentlemen, just consider
what terrible thing you are doing before 60
ing any further" Said they: MADAM we
took the whole matter into consideration be-
fore leaving home, and our minds are made
up now" They then passed into the Jail,
Knocked off the lock to Beatty's cell, told
Beatty ne was wanted, and pushed him along
out the door and took him away. This morn
ing halter with moose was found, but not
tied to tree. Underneath were many tracks
of horses, but no signs of Beatty. A dis
patch received at ten o'clock to- night an
nounces that the mob attempted to hang
Beatty, but he ran, was fred upon and badly
wounded, but escaped and is now in the Gus
tody Of the officers. Beatty asserts his IN
nocence.

MARBLE'S LETTER
Received In Washington with IndIg-
nation. as q Barefaced Attempt TO
EIectriRy.- Dead BOnes-A
CIsar Case of
POst-MOrtem BravadO-TiIden Cannot
be Galvanized into Political Lead
ership by Throwing Mud at
Thurman and Bayard.

Washington special to the Cincinnati En-
qtirer: Sammy Tilden's latest pronuncia-
mento, published this morning over the sig
nature of Manton Marble, is received here
with mingled feelings of Indignation and
amusement, as the obvious intent, say one
and all, Is to electrify Tilden's dead bones.
The right to galvinize Tilden, if possible, is
admitted, but the attempt to do it by throw
ing mud at Senators Thurman and Bayard is
unequivocally denied on all sides. The at
tempt to prove that when the critical hour
was on, when the electoral count was pending,
Tilden was the brave man, and Thurman,
Bayard and Ransom the timorous ones, is,
in the light of the facts, supremacy ridicu-
lous. 1ilden 8 cause must indeed be in
desperate strait to need such defense as
Manton Marble has written. 1t is clear
case Of post norton bravado, which In street
parlance is 500 thin to wash. - ''Eilden OPP
posed to the electoral commission?" my
God why didn t he say so at the timer" The
question and the answer have been
on the tongue of every Democrat here
who has read Marbles card. If, as
Marble now says, Tilden was opposed
to the electoral count, why didn't he speak
out like a man and say so7 As President
elect, it was bis duty to proclaim his position
promptly and IN publc from the house-tops,
if need be; but it is matter of history now,
as it was matter OF anxious solicitude then,
that delegation after delegation went from
here to New York for the express purpose Of
finding out what Tilden thought, and one
and all returned with the same story, that it
was impossible to find out what he thought
or what he wanted. 1t can be
stated positively that one of three Dem
ocratic members of the senate committee,
whom Marble represents to have thrown
aside Tilden's plan, sent a messenger, a mem
Der of the house, to New York to Tilden be-
fore any plan was formed, for the express
purpose of learning Tilden's wishes. That
messenger returned and made this reports:
81 have seen Mr.. Tilden l spent almost an
entire day Sunday with him; tried my
best to find out what he wanted, and | am as
much In the dark as | was before started" 1t
can be stated positively as a fact that neither
before the electoral commission plan was
adopted nor after did Mr.. Tilden send one
word of communication as to his wishes
either to Senator Thurman or Bayard, but
Manton Marbles screed falls of its own folly.
He prints certain telegraphic correspondence
between Mr.. Hewitt and Mr.. Cooper, one of
Mr.. IIlden's secretaries, in which Cooper ex-
presses opposition to the electoral commission
scheme, and also a longer dispatch wherein
he counsels the house to stand firm,'' and
of these dispatches says: The night that
the foregoing telegram to Mr. Hewitt
was sent the undersigned had called
