piled with placid urbanity to an excited

you wish me to mind my own business.
Very good, perhaps you know what my bust
ness is better than do. But. Mr.. Kearney,
there is only one gentleman who is at present
authorized to show me how to mind my bust
ness and that is the Pope of Rome. Per
haps, Mr.. Kearney, if you will write to him,
he will transfer that power to you. And
now let me tell you little story, Mr.. Kear-

and know the temper of the people Of Cali
fornia pretty we'll; and long time ago, be-
fore you had come to America, went to bed
one night leaving everything going on in the
city as usual. Well, Mr.. Kearney, after a
comfortable nights rest, arose and looked
out of the window, and there in the street
was poor fellow hanging by his neck. quite
dead, suspended from a lamp post. He was
poor fellow who did not know how to mind
his own business, Mr.. Kearney, and that was
all. You mind your business we'll, Mr..
Kearney, and will mind mine. Good morn:

THE LETTHAL GAG.

HOec Gus Reed Vas Tortured to Death In
the Joliet State Prison.
The following are the particulars OF the
cruelties practised on the convict Reed at
the Joliet prison, according to the evidence
brought out at the inquest. On Sunday, the
9Th, the deceased and his room mate got in
to fight while in their cell. They were
separated and Reed was put in solitary,
about o'clock on Sunday evening, at which
time, according to the prison physician, he
was in good health. On Monday morning
the prisoner was placed standing at his cell
door, with his hands thrust through the bars,
then handcuffed from the outside, and kept
standing in this position ten hours, and
again placed in the above described position
on Tuesday morning until 10
that he was thus punished. On Tuesday
Steven Reed, day guard in the SOLITARY.
gagged the convict three times-twice in the
morning, and again in the afternoon. He
applied the gag for the purpose of keeping
the man quiet, as he was hallooing loudly.
On gagging him the second time he straneled
and acted as if he would faint, and the in
strument was then removed for the time
being. After having gagged him three
times the guard whipped him, removing
his clothes, and with a whip consisting of
short handle with a strap attached.
Reed also said that some two weeks ago
he whipped one Thomas Harris, by order
of his superior officer. On Tuesday evening
Park Leasere. the night guard Of
the solitary, came on duty, and, considering
it to be his duty, according to his orders
from his superior officers, to gag noisy
man to keep him quiet, he put gag on the
man, the instrument being one he had made
from piece cut from the small end of a
broomstick, with strings and strap attached
to keep it in place. On putting in the gag,
the man gasped for breath, but recovered
quickly. The guard went into the wash
room, and on returning found the man
hanging by his hands, and fainting. The
guard says he was not gone over
minute, and that the prisoner
was all right when he left him. but
returning he found him as stated above. He
Immediately called DR.. Dripps, the assistant
physician, and released the man from his
position at the door, laid him down and took
out the gag, and in ten minutes therefrom
the convict breathed his last DR.. Heise,
the prison physician, stated that he consid-
| cred gag dangerous, and when not handled
with care it would produce death, and at no
time was it safe to use. The prisoner, while
in the solitary cell, had his diet reduced to
21a ounces of bread and pint of water, and
would not be in condition to stand such
treatment. The warden said he did not
know that convict was ever whipped. The
corOner's verdict censured no one

The Great Expectations of the Nationals.
Alex Troupe, Secretary of the executive
committee of the National party, says that
it is the intention of that council to make
vigorous fight next fall in all the States, and
desperate and concentrated effort will be
made to at least obtain the balance of power
in all those States whose Legislatures are to
elect United States Senators next winter.
They feel sanguine, he said, of being sue
cessful in the States of Connecticut, Maine,
New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois, Wisconsin, California, and
Oregon. In Connecticut they ex-
pect to poll $4,000 votes; in
Maine, 25,0O0; in New York, 10000; and in
Pennsylvania II, 900, with fair chance Of
carrying the State. They feel confident of
obtaining the control OF the Legislature Of
Indiana, of polling $4,000 votes in Michigan,
and Of electing. Gen. Bates, their candidate
for State treasurer of Illinois. In Wisconsin
they expect to cast 10000 votes, and to elect
third of the delegates to the constitu.
tional convention in California. The weak
point in their organization, he said, is in the
south, and the cause Of that weakness is the
poverty Of the people and the want Of money
to carry on an effective campaign.

10 me there is too great an expression of
unnecessary anxiety upon the part of the

close resemblance to the case of clergyman

to make the two cases parallel. The only
difference between the two is that the doctor
has secured four or five hundred dollars

District Of Columbia Government.
Western Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Senate committee
on District of Columbia was in session yester-
day for over six hours considering the bill for a
form of government, and as result of
their labors, agreed to report radical amend
ment to the House bill. The Senate commit
tees amendment provides that all commission
ers shall be appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate, and one of them shall
be an engineer officer of the army.
but strikes out the clause that
he shall be above the rank of
captain. They prescribe that tho commission
ers shall be actual residents of the district for
years instead of as in the House bill. The
House bill proposed that one of the commits
sioners should be appointed by the President,
one by the Senate and one by the House. The
sixth section in relation to the election of
a council, i was entirely stricken out, but that
portion relating to proportion of in
debtedness borne by Congress and the District,
that is, the so per cent clause, was retained in
lieu of the section providing for council to
be elected by the people. The committee have
provided for the election of a delegate to Con-
gress who shall have the same privileges and
pay as delegate from any territory, and it
further provides that said delegate
district of Columbia committee. In
relation to the rate Of taxation the Senate COM
mittee prescribed that the District commits
sioners shall levy tax not to exceed $2 on
every 300 in the city and not to exceed 81. rs
in the county, but it is left with the commits
sioners to exercise their judgement, laying a
less per centum according to the exigencies
Of the occasion. The Senate amend
ments retain the board of health.

ELIZABETH's CONSCIENCE.

The White SOuled WOnsan Preparing a De-
tailed Statement of the Great Tramsgres-
siOn-TtC0 More of Bceche1's Epistles
Forthcoming.
1t was reported in New York OH Friday
that Mrs. Tilton has prepared and will make
public in less than week supplement to
her recent confession, in which she will give
a detailed statement concerning the trans
gressions of which she then proclaimed her.
self and Mr.. Beecher guilty. This informa-
ton comes from a lady who has long been
in Mrs. Tilton's confidence, and who spent
to-day at her house. The document is in
tended to vindicate Mrs. Tilton from the
charge of insanity and falsely accusing her
self; also to justify her husband, as far as
possible, for his agency in stirring up the
late revival of the scandal. It is said, furth-
er, that the reports that revelations damag-
ing to Tilton and his cause are about to be
made had considerable influence in inducing
Mrs. Tilton to prepare long and circum-
stantial statement. tits reported to be Mrs.
Tilton's intention to give this paper to the
public this week, but SO little can be said with
certainty of her movements in any partic-
ular, that the time of its publication
cannot be defnately mentioned, and the re-
port can only be given that she and her
friends expect it will see the light in a very
few days. The same authority says that
Mrs. Tilton has kept all these years, under
lock and key, two letters written by Mr..
Beecher, of which the public have never
heard, and which will be used in the coming
statement. Mr.. Triton seems to have left
no influence untried to induce his wife to
make her recent confession. It would ap-
pear that he even desired his daughter Flor
ence to urge her mother to confess herself
guilty. Florence has lived with her father
since the husband and wife separated,
and has fully espoused his cause. Last
week Mrs. Tilton received a letter from
Florence, who is now in Germany, urging
her to make confession, dwelling upon the
bitter error of some time passing out of the
world with lie upon her conscience, ard
stating that she had told her father in re-
| cent letter that if her mother ever purged
herself of the lie she had been living, she
desired to 90 to her and live with her as long
| as she lived. Tilton, not content with his
public denial of completely in bringing about
the recent confession, writes long letter tc
his wife, bitterly upbraiding her publishing
the statement. He told her she had beer
guilty of extreme folly, that the public &C
cused him Of melting the statement, an6
that by publishing it she had been the caus.
of breaking off some Of his best lecture en-
gagements, and had impaired his oppor
tunities TO earn support for herself and thei
children. He expected, it is said, that hi
friends here would make the letter public i
the charge of completely were too stoutl
waged against him. He is in town now
and is the guest of Frank Carpenter. Il
will sail for Europe in little over q week
He will not be accompanied by Mrs. Tiltou
