FOUND MURDERED.


CnEroPA, Ksp August ll.-Capt. Johr
secrest, a mail contractor on the route
west from Vinita, Indian Territory, was
found some hundred and fifty miles wesi
Of Vinita q day or two ago murdered. He
left Vinita few days before with con.
siderable sum Of money for the purpose ol
paying of his mail carriers.
The suppose desperadoes who robbed
Caneyville, short time ago, are the par.
ties who committed the crime. As the U.
S. District Court, which has jurisdiction
over the Territory, Is now powerless,
owing to the lack Of appropriations by
Congress TO meet the expenses Of the
Marshals, i lis thought these acts arc but
the beginning Of crime and lawlessness in
the Territory.

nearly eighty gallons per day are now con-

this quantity is liberal supply for all

The New York papers have very little
to do now except to keep up the records
OF police clubbings and the various sea
side resorts and pleasure excursions. The
summer vacation gives them time to look
into some OF their home institutions for
the purpose Of exposition and criticism.
One OF these is the House for Detention"
prison for witnesses, which, established
to secure the ends Of justice, has turned
out to be the veryreverse OF its good in
tentious. A late mysterious criminal case
in New York introduces the subject Of the
House for Detention for serious discussion,
and calls public attention again to an un-
unfortunate class Of prisoners. The de.
tectives and police, while trying to work
up the case and fnd a murderer, were
unable to get any information whatever
from the people who ought to have known
something about the circumstances. If
they knew they wouldn't tell, for they
knew if they said word that could be
construed into the least hint OF the kuowl-
edge sought after, they would be immedi-
ately thrown into prison as witnesses, and
thrown out OF work for the support OF
their families. So they kept their mouths
stubbornly shut and enjoyed their liberty.
1t has often happened that the innocent
witnesses OF crime have been incarcer.
sted for months, while the criminals ran
at large and never were caught. 1t is a
rather oppressive law that Furnishes the
known innocent upon the slim chance OF
catching and conviCting the perpetrator Of
crime, but Just that law is in force and
enforced. 1t has become an enemy in
stead OF protector OF society, and it is
suggested thatit had better be repealed
and the witnesses prison abolished. Wit.
nesses Of crimes are not generally able to
give anywhere from $500 to 81 900 bail for
their appearance, and the only alternative
isa prison. So it has come to pass that
witnesses, certain OF punishment for their
accidental knowledge, are hard to fad.

ports as to the willingness Of Germany to
attend the next silver conference called
by America. Mr.. Evarts will soon name
the new commission. 1t will be difficult
to choose men more representative OF the
country than the members Of the former
one, Fenton, Groesbeck and Walker, and
their familiarity with the lay OF the land
abroad is too valuable to be wasted. 1t is
suggested that Gov. Fenton be appointed
Minister to England, on account Of his
service on the silver commission, as En-
