day and begged him not to recognize Ma
hone, or to encourage any Republican
coalition with him. Representative Jor-
gensen was the principal speaker, and he
Republicans will not form any coalition
with Malone. He said the Republicans
want strength, and any attempt to force
an alliance with Malone will be fatal to
the party. Astraight Republican Conven-
ton will be held in ninety days, to nomi-
nate a straight Republican ticket for State
off in Virginia. 1t was intended to
nominate Gen. Wickham for Governor, but
business would prevent him from running,
and the present purpose is to nominate
Col. Mosby, now Consul at Hongkong.
Instead of appointing any more Readjust-
ers, the delegation urged the President to
remove those now holding office. The
President said he would thoroughly con-
slider the question, Snd act for the best
good Of the Republican party. %Jorgensen
thinks they have stopped any chance OF
utilization with Malone.
Mahone's Record.
CHICAGO, April 15.-The Journals Wash
ington special says: Influential Democrats
threaten to bring out in debate, in the
Senate, Mahone's record in personal quar-
rels with Democrats in Virginia, and the
manner in which he escaped fighting a
duel with General Brady johnson of
Maryland. They allege that evidence will
be submitted showing that Malone is
brave only in words, and while giving just
cause for attack, he has escaped fighting
duels by questionable means. The drift
of the talk in Democratic quarters to-day
indicates a purpose on their part to try
and force Malone into a position where he
will be obliged to fight.
Ike stockton and HIS Gang.
DENVER, April 15.-The Republican has
advices from Durango that Ike Stockton
and his gang, nearly all of whom partici-
pated in the Lincoln County, New Mexico,
troubles several years ago, are sending
raiding parties toward Pennington, Rio
ARABIA County, New Mexico, to steal cat
tie and kill cowboys. A few days ago they
drove IS head Of cattle into Durango,
where they butchered and sold them. The
latter tow is in a state of excitement
bordering on anarchy, and is growing
worse every day. The citizens dare not

the papers for fear of death. A Denver
newspaper man, who was suspected of
writing an account for the Denver papers,
was a few days ago stopped On the street
at the point of a revolver by Ike Stockton.
Six marshals are on duty, but are unable
10 cope with the outlaws.
Effects of the Flood.
YANKToN, April 15.-The river is station
airy. The drowned out are focking hither
and getting Government rations and aid.
Twenty-Five hundred need aid here, and
5000 below at vermillion. The food on
the Dakota side covers 227 900 acres, the
whole region being thickly settled. Yank-
tor is damaged only on the levee, where
/ there has been q great destruction Of
steamboats, and warehouses. Capts. Law
ender and Noble have returned from a
four days cruise over the river bottoms,
and deserve the heartfelt thanks they got.
Probably not over six lives have been lost
by the flood, and the great disaster is shorn
Of the horrors Of a great loss Of life by the
heroic efforts Of the citizens.
len. Davis New Book.
NEW YORK, April 15.-The Times, re-
viewing JEFF. Davis book, says he takes
conspicuous pains to assure his readers
that he has not changed his mind in re-
gard to any Of the questions which in
volved the country in a terrible war. He
is evidently the same incorporating and
unrepentant rebel described by Zach
Chandler in his memorable speech, made
to the Senate shortly before his death.
Altogether, his book as q dedication Of the
principles which animated the Confeder-

maj failure. For his own reputation it
would have been better had he never writ
ten it. He should not have again thrust
himself into public notice. This country
has had quite enough of the man who led
the "Lost Cause"
Stabbed ON an Emigrant Train.
CHEYENNE, April ia fatal stabbing
ARRAY occurred on the w~est-bound emil
grant train at loon to-day near Pine
Bluffs Station. A man named Black quar-
relied with a boy, a passenger, and Evan
Lewis interfered to protect the boy. Black
then stabbed Lewis in the abdomen. Black
jumped off the train and was last seen
running across the plains. Several pas
sengers are pursuing him. He will prob
ably be lynched if caught. Lewis is from
Dodgeville, Wisconsin, and was bound for
Butte, Montana. The physicians say that
he will die within "a hours. He lies in
the Cheyenne hospital.
Good Friday.
New York, April IA mammoth Pc
tition was sent to Albany yesterday from
here, praying the Legislature to include
Good Friday among the legal holidays.
The reasons that are given are more of a
business kind than religious. As the case
stands at present the commercial exchanges
and the majority of stores and offices of
wholesale merchants are closed while the
banks and public offices have to remain
open on other days; hence the day is
neither one thing nor the other, and its
anomalous position in the calendar is pro-
ducive of no little embarrassment to bust
ness men outside of the exchanges.
Forced TO Abandon Their Scheme.
New YORK, April 15.-The Times Wash
ington special says: Notwithstanding the
technical denial Of Commissioners French,
1t is true, as heretofore stated, that prepar-
atoms are now being made blythe Govern
ment to force the Central Pacific Railroad
Company to abandon the scheme now be-
ing pushed Of diverting trade from the
subsidized or Government Pacific railroad
lines to the Southern Pacific route, a large
portion Of which is owned by the Hunt
ington combination.
Healed by h Efficacy OF Prayer.
ERIE (Pa.), April 15.-James Burns, who
has been q paralytic cripple for eighteen
years, appeared ON the streets last night
free from deformity. He says Father Ma
loney prayed over him, and laying his
hands upon him commanded the limbs to
strengthen, upon which his arm, which
