piled that it required no confession
on the part of Latter-day Sain for
his brethren TO tell whether he had
sinned or not, for il he had, the
light that was in him, would
depart and he would be LEFT to grepe

gathering of the Latter day Saints to
the region they now occupy, and
showed the fulfllment OF portions OF
the 10Th Psalm and second chapter
of Isaiah, which spoke 10 plsinness OF
the events that have transpired in the
gathering of the saints.
The closing prsper was offered by
Elder John w. Taylor. and the con-
ference adjourned. During the con-
ference two priesthood meetings were
held in which many valuable inssruc-
tions were impaired to the elders by
President John Morgan, and the
elders expressed firm desires to prose-
cute their lsbors for the redemption
'of the human family. They had
come from fifty to 125 miles
to attend the conference most
all OF whom were healthy
and strong, and all rejoiced
in the spirit of the Lord. There were
a goodly number OF saints present
besides many strangers. who paid
marked attention to the preaching of
the elders. The conference was held

Bail Given by Star Route Defendants.

WASHINGTON, October 5.-When
the Criminal Court met this morn
ing Judge Cox stated that he had
examined the information filed in
the Star Route cases, and had fixed
the bail at 81 7,500in the cases of Bra
dy and Brown and $4,000 in the
cases Of Turner and French. A
short but unimportant discussion
ensued between William A. Cook,
the Assistant District Attorney, and
Enoch Totten, Of counsel for the de-
fence, in the conrse of which the
latter stated that he might have
other motions to submit besides
that to quash the information, but
that he would probably formally
file that motion tomorrow. 1t was
agreed that before any motion should
be argued two days notice should be
given to the opposite counsel. The
bondsmen then came forward and
justified as follows: John +. Ohm
stead, n. w. Fitzgerald, A. L. Roach
and Lewis Clephane fer Frady; J.
w. Pumphercy and ]. 7. johnson
for Turner, and R. H. Warner and
Washington B. Williams for French.
S. T. Brown was not present with
his bondsmen, but gave bail later in
the day.

ALBION, n. Y. October 4.-0n
Sunday last boatman discovered
body floating in the canal, near
here which proved to be that of a
handsome girl about twenty years OF
age. On the head was a Eve inch
long scalp wound, the forehead was
cut over the right r~h~ow and
blood was oozing if~n5 s. ears. On
one finger was a plain gold ring, in
scribed "F. Ii. 10 n. W. The dress
was put on hind side before, the
stockings were only partly pulled on,
there were no shoes, both garters
were upon Jnc leg, and a strong
cord around the other. Coroner
Cochrane called DR. Tousey to aid
in making an autopsy. While re-
moving the clothing they found a
pocket sewed up containing two
letters, one addressed to James
Wright and one to Sarah Wright, of
Millville.
From the letters it appears that
the deceased was Nellie Wright, and
these letters were to her parents,
living near Millville. She had been
away from home Two or three years,
working as dressmaker and a do
mestic. The letter found addressed
to her mother was dated September
20. In itshe confessed that she had
sinned and brought disgrace upon
her family. She says she loved
Fred Hopkins and could not bear to
see him love another, and therefore
had bought poison and was going to
die, and added: Fred is response
bic for it, She hoped her friends
would forgive the poor erring daugh-
ter and sister, and said that she had
tcld Fred she would kill herself if
left alone. Fred had been kind to
her until the last week, she said, and
he had asked her to come and stay
with him on Thursday night at
Knowlesville and she was going, as
she could not bear to die away
from him.
Upon opening the body the lungs
were found to be entirely free from
water. which the physicians remark
ed was sure indication that death
was not caused by drowning. The
body was in a good state of preser-
vation, and there was no sign of
rigidity about any of the muscles.
The intestines, spleen and liver win
be sent to a chemist for examina-
ton for arsenic. When the facts be-
came known intense excitement was
manifested, and there was de-
mand that Hopkins be arrested. A
warrant was issued, charging him
with numbering Nellie Wright.
When arrested Hopkins said that
Nellie Wright's death was news to
him. He afterwards said that on
the morning of Thursday, Septem-
Der 90, Nellie left him. saying she
was going to Albion, and that was
the last he saw of her. Hopkins is
81 years old, and the son OF wealthy
and respected parents.
The Coroner's inquest was not
completed yet, and. in the absence
of evidence, the jury has adjourned
until October 10.

\ Blazing Train.

PoRT JERvIs, y. y, October D.
a train of oil cars caught fire on the
Erie Road, to-day, at the bridge
crossing the Delaware River, three
miles west of this village. Fifteen
cars on the train exploded one after
the other, and no one dared to ap-
proach within one hundred feet of
the train. New rails will have to
be laid for q distance of nineteen
car lengths before trains car pass.
The fire cannot be subdued until
the fifteen cars are burned. The
train comprised fifty cars, and when
discovered to be on fire was stopped,
leaving a part of its rear on the
bridge across the Delaware. These
were cut loose a few rods from the
bridge and an engine on the rear
drew them back across the bridge
and out Of danger. The bridge
across the canal will probably be
saved, but the burning oil from the
exploding cars may set it on fire.
As each car explodes volumes of
flames shoot up hundreds of feet i'll
the air and burning oil and frag-
ments of tanks are thrown fully a
thousand yards. The end of a tank
was thrown across the Delaware
River. All westward trains will be
held here until the track is repaired.
The telegraph wires are melted
down at the scene of the fire.

FREEHOLD, Y. j., October AT
the opening of the Monmouth Coun-
ty Court to-day, the Hon. E. W.
Seudder, justice of the Supreme
Court, presiding, in his charge to
the grand jury said Immediately
after the death of President Garfield
within this county, | requested the
Attorney General to advise with the
prosecution of the pleas ard deter
mine what steps, if any, were neces-
sary to lie taken towards the prose-
cution of the person charged with
causing his death. The result has
been made known by the publica-
ton of the correspondence between
Attorney General Stockton and the
District Attorney for the District of
Columbia, in which the former has
said that he should not advise any
legal proceedings to be taken here.
with a view to the punishment of the
heinous offense, unless he shall be
informed that it cannot be punished
under the courts Of the District of
Columbia, and the latter has replied
that he has no doubt that the law
in force in that district will be found
adequate to meet the case. 1t will
not, therefore, be advisable or neces-
sary for you 70 take any action in this
matter at the present time, unless we
shall be notified that the prosecu-
ton and indictment OF the offence
in this county arc requested to pre-
vent failure of justice, which does
not now appear probable, according
to the statement made by the proper
legal authority of the city Of Wash
inotOn.

The Troubles of Noses.

new YORK, October 4.-Ex- Gov
ernor Moses, of South Carolina, vino
is charged with obtaining money by
false pretenses from William l..
Hall. was arraigned in court to-day.
Further complaint was made to-day
against him by John D. Townsend,
counsel for the committee on crime,
who accused him OF swindling him
out of his money on the plea of fur
nishing Mr.. Townsend with valuable
papers touching the election frauds
in the South. 1t is thought that
other complaints against theex-Gov-
ernor will be forthcoming. At the
afternoon session of the court the
case of Ex-Governor Moses was call
ed, when his counsel waived exami-
nation, and the accused was com.
mitted for trial, bail being fixed at
$4,000.

Mob Law inIilInois.

CHICAGO, October .. Frederick
Franks, in charge of the jail ut
Bloomington, in this State, was muir
dered last night by Charles Pierce,
an imprisoned horse thief, who shot
him while Pierce was being convey
ed from one cell to another in the
Jail. The news Of the crime soon
spread throughout .;,e city when &
mob OF 500 persons broke open the
Jail, took out the prisoner aud hang
ed him. The dispatches say that
some of the best citizens were in
the front rank of the iynchere.
Lesding business men chcered and
encouraged the lynchers, aud women
waved Observation-Disclosures in appro-
baton. For two hours the Sheriff,
with all his force, the police force
and otter officials, stood at the jail
door and fought with the infatuated
crowd. When the murderer was
raised the first time Officer Bailey,
Of the police force, inperilled his
life by breaking through the crowd
and cutting the rope, letting the
body fall. Upon attempting to re-
peat the act Of bravery he came near
being killed. The officers called out
the fire departmental quell the riot
by throwing water ca the crowd.
When a steam engine arrived on the
ground cries of 'Cut the hose p con-
WINGED the fireman that il would not
do to undertake TO carry out their
instructions, and they retired. The
ringing Of the fire bells called hun
dreds more to the scene and added
to the excitement. When the lynch
ing was imminent dispatches passed
between Governor Callom and Lieu
tenant Governor Hamilton, and the
latter was directed by the Governor
to tell the Sheriff 10 call on the mi
litia to project life and property ;
but it was known that the militia
could not be assembled.
Senator Fifer, formerly States At
torney and Il. 3. Porter States At

the mob, promising that the lnur-
derer should be tried and punished,
but their pleadings and promises
were hooted at. Justice and the
Courts are farce :" eve have seen
too much of Court quibblings," and
other similar remarks were shouted
at the officers by the mob, who per-
sisted in their purpose of lynching
Pierce, and then Dispersed

Ar the caucus of the Democratic
Senators, held in Washington, on
Saturday, it was determined to pre-
vent the adn.ittance of the three
new Republican Senators until after
the election of President pro tenn.
OF course, the Republicans will
insist that sovereign States shall not
be deprived of their representation,
in matter of such vital importance
as the election of 4 presiding officer
of the Senate, who may become
President of the United States, and
protracted debate may ensue.
If the Democrats persist in taking
advantage of the situation, and
crasping power which the people
at the last election emphatically re-
fused to entrust to them, then there
may be an unseemly struggle pre-
cipitated on the Senate.
Speaking of the disposition of the
Democrats to insist upon electing
one of their number President of the
Senate before permitting the New
York and Rhode Island Senators to
be sworn in, Senator Edmunds, who
is always level-headed, remarked
Politically, their act is an unwise
and unpatriotic one. They say to
the country they are willing to get
power by any means. They now
offer a reward to any insane parti-
san who may think the country in
jured by the rule of the Republicans
to put an end TO it by Staying the
President"

Is there any reason whatever for
any honest Republican to vote
against any man on our Judicial or
County ticket, or our candidate for
State Treasurer? Is it rot the duty
of every decent Republican to sus-
tain the candidates on these tickits?
The men nominated are our associ-
ates in upholding a common politi-
cal faith; they are brethren of the
same political family who have
stood shoulder to shoulder with Re-
publicans everywhere in the battle
for principles, and the fierce struggle
for the Union. Why then should
any true Republican strike at any Of
these merely 10 please a Democrat,
or help crafty the vanity of one
miserable egotistical renegade? We
made these men candidates by our
votes and through our conventions
and to desert them ncw would be
dastardly. We must stand by all
and every one of them, because in
doing this we stand by our party
ard its principles. 1t is only by
unity OF action that we can succeed,
and we can have unity only by be-
ing true to our candidates, and
standing by party integrity. Let no
Republican mistake his duty at this
time. The Democrats in the county,
or judicial district can have no hope
of success, except through the recre-
ancy Of the Republican voters. Let
US all see to it, therefore, that our
entire ticket receives a full, cordial,
generous support.

There are indications that the fight

little danger, and can be soon anni-
hilated.

THAMES to the influence of Presi-
dent Arthur, the threatened trouble
in lhe New York Republican State
Convention that assembled last week,
was averted, and ticket was nomi-
mated that viii be acceptable to q
very large proportion of the ysT'y.
Mr.. Conkling absented himself f N
the convention, and his friends ind-
ing themselves largely in the minor
ity, gracefully submitted to the in
evitable. The friends of Mr.. Conk-
ling did not think the way to secure
success was to pull out of the party.
or to bolt the nominations because
they could net control the conven-
ton, but like men of sense and true
Republicans, submitted to the viii
of the majority.
How unlike this action is 10 that
of Mr.. Wolfe in this State. Because
the men operating with him failed
to control the convention and nomi-
nate their man, he initiates the bad
example of Senator Conkling when
ne resigned and ieft the Senate in
the hands OF the Democrats.
The Republicans si New York re-
fused to follow the lead OF ar. Conk-
ling when they thought the interests
cf The party wonld be impcriled
;l,cse5y, and consequently he finds
himself reiired from political life for
the present. and NJ, Wolfe will dis
cover after next months' election,
that bis bolt and attempt to piay
into The hands Of the Democratic
candidsts will be much more unfor-
tunate for him than was the resig-
nation of Mr. ConKliEg from the
Senate.
