Promised Reforms

England Insists on the Execution Of the
Promised Reforms
LONDON, November "A Vienna dis
patch is published in a Paris journal,
stating that kilograms from CONSTANT
nople represent the relations between
England and Turkey as being greatly
strained. England has sent to the Porte
an ultimatum demanding the execution
OF reforms in Asiatic Turkey. II the de-
mand is not complied with it is believed
the Sultan will be deposed and replaced
by his brather, who will be under the
tutelary supervision of England, France
and Austria. Russia upholds the Sultan.
The foregoing is probably grossly
exaggerated form of Reuters telegram
from Constantinople, to-day, which,
saws Sir Austin Layard, the British
Ambassador, will shortly present TO tie
Porte a note insisting on the execution
of the promised refroms in Asiatic Tur-
kew. The Reuters telegram further says
Sir Austin Layard having been requested
bv the Porte to explain the object OF the
dispatch of Admiral Hornby's squadron
TO Turkish waters, semi-ofiicially re-
piled that the squadron would remain
for the present at Nsnlah, but even
tually might proceed 10 some other
Turkish port, as England would not
tolerate the oppression otthe Christians
in Asiatic Turkey.

Death of Big Snake.
ELIHU GREGG'S CASE.
The Way One Man Looks at it.


KingwoOd Journal.
In 1869 Elihu Gregg burned down our
Courthouse, which was then occupied,
in part, by a family OF human beings.
He had a fair and an impartial trial. He
was ably defended. His guilt was es-
tablished beyond all question. \ jury
Of his countrymen found him guilty,
because the evidenCewasC conclusive. The
law fixed his punishment. He must
either he hung or imprisoned for life,
as he might elect. He made his choice.
He chose death. Aeiore the execution
of the sentence, he made his escape
from the Jail. After he escaped he
made threats that he would burn more
of the town of Kingwood. He fingered
around within days ride OF the place
ior months. He is again in our hands.
Some good people say, "Oh, it's pity 4;
he's old now; why not let him go?'
These people do not stop To think that
he is Just as guilty now as he ever was
guilty OF one Ot the mcaneSt of crimes.
They do not stop to think that their SEN
timental plea for Gregg is saying this TO
every house-burner who may here
after be convicted in Preston county:
"lt YOU STAY in Jail now until the day
fixed Tor the execution of your sem
tence, we will certainly punish you (;
but il YOU are cunning enough to get
out. and wander around ior ten years,
YOU will be hero-a sort of martyr
and We won't punish YOU then. Your
escaping from prison will make you
aguiltleSs man. There may be good
deal OF gush about such stuff, but there
is little sense in it, and no justice.
Years spent in eludng justice can never
make guilty man guiltless.

DisastrouS Storms.

MADRID, November l.-Since Thurs
day the principal railroad lines have
been interrupted by gales and floods,
chiefly in the valley OF Cheafebro, where
the water has risen several metres above
the ordinary level and destroyed the
line between Saragosa and Catalonia ior
fifteen miles, flooded the valley Of Tor
tOrsa, carried away houses, mills and
bridges, and caused damage to
the extent of several millions.
On the upper Arragon, near
Huesca the river Aleandre invaded sew
eral villages. cut mp railroad embank-
ments and carried away bridge at
Saranevea. Telegraphic communication
is very irregular, but the governments
OF Malaga and Almcria report that the
gale extended over the whole OF Auda'-
sisia, and caused very disastrous flood
in the rural districts and in the town OF
Malaga. The river Almazora flooded its
valley and destroyed forty honses. Some
persons were drowned.

THE REDSKINS.
General Adams Trip to White
River.

Los PINos, Col, October %, via DEL
NORTE, November l.-General Adams
and Count Doenhoff have just arrived
from White river. They succeeded in
reaching Merritt's command, although
il was attended with much difficulty
and came near costing them their lives.
The troops had deplOyed and were adj
vancing to recover the body of Lieut..
Weir, killed the day before. While out
on the hunt. two solitary hOrsemen adj
vancing, a whole company deployed TO
give them battle rs scout had reported
Adams and his escort Oi twenty-three
Indians as over three hundred strong.
The Indians, not pleased with the out
look, had retired 10 a safe distance, leav-
ing Adams and Count DOenhOH alone.
Officer Chaneld discovered a flag of
truce Just as the troops had covered
them with their rifles for the
fatal shot. 1t was a close call. General
Adams and the Count had a rough time.
They came back from White river, two
hundred miles, i'm four days, having
travelled over the mountain trails. The
pluck and energy o, Gen. Adams and
Count Doenhoif are truly cOmmendabIe.
Men OF less energy would have signally
failed. Gen. Adams is of the opinion
that the affair will he amicably settled
by the surrender of the guilty parties,
i'm accordance with the wishes OF the In
terror Department.

missioner Hoyt, from Ponce reservation

cradle excitement among the Indians,
but it was soon quieted.

did receive) then they should pay you

able you to return that amount to the

Washington, January, 1879.
This letter accomplished what was
most desired BY Hayes, Sherman and
Evarts-the defeat of Conkling. Wood
was the hero of the hour. The White
House was open to him day and night,
the aristOcratic Evarts even cOndescend-
inc 10 leave his dinner to receive mes
senger from Wood, the 1t. George who
had slain the great New York dragoon.
And sherman and his friends could now
walk abroad without fear of being eaten
up by the political man eater, COnkling.
Time went on, when, presto change,
Cornell was nominated by the COnkling
Republicans of New York as their can
didate for Governor, and dneeding help the
lOrlly Roscoe sent orders TO
Washington for assistance. Hayes sings
a hymn and John Sherman and Mr.
Eyarts lead the whole Othce-holdlng
brigade of New York 10 the assistance
OF Cornell and COnkling, the men who
only last January they denounced as
dishonest and vile men, unfit to hold
positions OF public trust, and in their
choicest language they now tell the peo'
pie of New York Mr.. Cornell will make
them a good, honest Governor, and hls
many good qualities are painted IN
glowing colOrs. Now these two wor-
thies believe that Col Woods charges
made against Cornell and C)nkling in
his open letter were true, for they con-
sented to its publication and were
benefited by its effect upon
the Senate, and they know
and believe the charges true to-day as
much so as they did when it was writ
ten.
Now, what can be thought OF men
who will attempt TO deceive the people?
We cannot expect anything better OF
John Sherman, but the country GER
tainly expected better things OF Slr.
Evarts. Here the old adage is fully YER
association brings cOntamlna-
ton.
But Roscoe has had his revenge, and
in the future he will have only, as he
has had in the past, contempt and
scorn for the fellows he has led on
