A Mere Matter of Business.

In Elliott County, Kentucky, the fol-
lowing notice has been served on the
Judge of the Circuit Court:
Behold, we come again Not with fire and
blood in our tracks, but we come to this Court
as applicants at the throne of mercy, begging
and pleading that they will not continue any of
the cases of felony that are on the docket, or
that may come to it during this term, on mere
legal tcchnicalities, but give them what the
law provides, viz. speedy trial. Bear this in
mind The country, justice and God demand it,
and we, as a band of over 1000 in three coun-
ties, say that we will give it to them in
three days after this court adjourns, if you
don't. We don't want to threaten this court
Or any part Of it, because they are perfectly
safe so far MS we are concerned, but we want
the thieves, robbers, houseburners, and men
who Stay their wives and are so handy with
pistols to distinctly understand that we mean
business. We don't like to do this; it is no
pleasure to US, but stern, hard duty that we
can perform, If necessary, and all such men
aforesaid had better he tried here, for if we
have to call special term of our court, woe be
unto you, for death is your portion. Remem-
Der the walnut and so govern yourselves accord

The workmen in the Chicago slaugh-

others, who have yielded, are discharg

keep up the discharging process until

Mexico could rot be happy without
some sort OF a revolution going on
within her. The following telegram
from San Francisco shows the political
status in that unhappy country just at
the present time: BY parties who pro-
fess to be inside of the movement in this
city, it is asserted that very large pro-
portion of the population of Mexico are
dissati, fed with the government of
Diaz that this dissatisfaction has taken
the shape of an organized revolutionary
government, which includes many of
the most distinguished Mexican soldiers
and politicians and that the outbreak,
which will involve several of the most
important Mexican States, is imminent.
The agent of the Government of the
Restoration of the Republic of Mexico,
of which General Angel Maria Carrillo
de Albannos, is President, is in this city,
endeavoring to negotiate for material
aid to further their schemes for the
overthrow of Diaz, as President of
Mexico. The agent invites capitalists,
who are now considering the schemes
to supply the revolutionary government
with certain arms and military supplies,
in return for which they are to be
granted:
First-Authority to organize Ma.
tional Bank of Mexico, the notes Of
which are to Re legal tender for all debts,
public and private, and to be receivable
in payment for public lands at the rate
of dollar per acre, all the public lands
of Mexico to be set apart for this pur-
pose.
Stcond-Franchise for railways AMI
telegraphs throughout Mexico, and sub
sides in bonds and matured bank notes
sufficient for their construction.
Third--The abolition of all duties on
importations of goods from the United
States into Mexico by land. The rights
of immigrants are guaranteed; location.
and service in the Mexican army for
a stated period is to be RENTED, and re-
ligious liberation is to be assured.

ing left open of the New York and
Greenwood Lake Railroad over Hack
ensack River, near Hackensack, N. j.,
few days ago, local passenger train
consisting of an engine and coach took
frightful plunge into the river. The

miles an hour. The engineer observing

jumped from his engine and was in
stantly killed. One OF the brakemen
was seriously injured and also two or
three OF the passengers. The car be-
came detached from the engine and
iloated OF with the current, while boats
pulled alongside and rescued the passen-
gers from the car windows.

The late General Joe Hooker who died
Gently at his home at Garden City,
l.. l., has been removed to Cincinnati,
his former home and where his friends
live, and placed in vault in the beauti-
full cemetery of Spring Grove. Cincin-
natl, in a measure, suspended business
for the day, and paid tribute to the
dead by the most imposing ceremonies.
Flags were placed at half mast on the
public buildings and during the time
occupied by the long procession as it
marched through the principal streets
and out to the cemetery, the bells were
kept tolling. And another life is shut
out forever.

A distressing accident occurred to
well known young lady at Hamilton,
Ohio, a few days ago, resulting in her
death. Miss Alta Hawthorne was on
her way to the depot to take the south
bound train, WALKING upon the track,
when she suddenly became aware that
the train upon which she was to depart
was close upon her. The space between
the track and high board fence, along
which she was walking, was but
eighteen inches in breadth. The en-
gineer did not see her until within fifty
feet of her. Down brakes were applied,
but too late. The engine struck her
and rolled her a'opg the fence first and
finally under the wheels, crushing her
into terrible mass. She was the idol
lied daughter Of widowed mother.
