WASHINGTON, May 3.-Internal
Revenue Agent Tracie, operating in
franklin county, Virginia, writes tc
Commissioner Raum a detailed ac-
count Of the attempt to capture the
notorious Dave Gillespie. The oiIi-
Ger has offered s100 reward to tie
person who viii lodge Gillespie in
Jail. But few" he says, seem anX-
ious to undertake the capture of this
notorious deperado. Since my raid
in Runnet Bog, on the 20th, Giles
pie and his crowd have committed
shameful outrages upon innocent
colored people in that neighborhood,
whom they charged with giving IN
formation to the revenue officers.
They went in disguise and whipped
men and women, robbed one or
two of money, destroyed their prop
erty, drove them from their homes,
some of them half naked, and form
ed thirteen Of them into one party
on the road to West Virginia and
ordered them to leave on penalty OF
death if they returned. This revival
Of lSu-kluxism By Illicit distillers
and their friends in the mountains
Of Franklin has terrorized the good
citizens to such an extent that they
are afraid even to speak of tie out
RACES, much less condemn them.
There is no such thing in franklin
county, on the part of responsible
citizens, as sympathy for the enforce
ment of the laws regarding the max
ing or selling Of spirits, either State
or national"

a Desperado.

4 dispatch from New Mexico,
gives thc particulars Of the escape
OF VIM. Boncy, alias Billy, the Kid,
from the jail in Lincoln county.
Bob Alinger and j, w. Bell were IN
charge OF the prisoner, who was
heavily shackled and hand-cutled.
On Saturday last Alinger had gone
to supper, and Bell was talking
pleasantly with the Kid, when ,ae
latter by sudden blow, fractured
the officers skull and, seizing his
pistol shot him dead. The Kid
then broke off his shackles with n
hatchet, and, as Alinger was run
ming towards the prison, alarmed
by the pistol shot, the Iniscreant
shot him from the window with a
musket. The people of the town
were terror-stricilen, and nobody at
tempted to oppose the Kid, who
went Off on stolen horse, armed
with four reyolvers and Il Winches-
ter rifle he had taken from the pris-
on armory. The Kid declared that
he would kill Governor Lew Wal
lace, who refused to pardon him,
and who, by curious coincidence,
signed his death warrant at Santa
Fe on the very day he made his es-
cape from Lincoln Jail. Intelligence
has been received at Santa Fe that
the Kid, after his escape, murdered
VIM. Mathews and another man
with whom he was riding. Math-
ews was a witness at the KID
trial during the Lincoln county
War

GrariBg skin.

NEwAuec, n. Y, May 4.-Dr. j.
Deyo, Of This city, has a case OF skin
grating. The patient is a little girl
II yeats old, living OH Mill street,
who Wis terribly sealdcd six weeks
.ago she ard ~ older sister were
taking u boiler Of kot water off o
stove, VIXEN 1t fell, tie girl being
thrown forward 50 that her arms
were immersed il tic water. The
whole OF the right arm was stripped
of skin from the shoulder TO the
tips tbs fingers, SO that the muscles
were left bare, and the left arm was
badly injured below the elbow. The
unfortunate child has suffered torfi-
bly,. The slightest move Of the
right arm would cause the blood to
liow from a myriad Of places, but
careful nursing had much improv-
ed its condition. The approach Of
hot weather caused the doctor ia
fear that the suiIerings might be
aggravated and the child exhausted,
so he resolved to hasten the healing
of the arm by the process Of skin
grating. New skin had already
formed over the hard and about
the shoulders, and there was strip
extending upward from the wrist,
but still ninc-tenths Of her arm was
bare. The doctor persuaded two
medical students and five or six
other young men 20 volunteer their
aid and the party went to the child's
house on Sunday. The little girls
arm had been brought into the best
possible condition for the operation.
The young men barred their arms,
the doctor cutting from eight to tif-
teen OF twenty small bits OF skin
from each Of the young men and
transferring them to the arm Of the
girl, where he placed them at differ
ent points On the bare, quiyeFing
flesh, in hope that a good proper
ton Of them at least would adhere
and grow. Probably fifty or sixty
gratis were made and these viii be
followed BY new batch in 4 few
days. So iar the grating has been
done under favorable circumstances
and while it is yet TOO soon to pre-
diet the result, there Is much hope
that TIE operation will prove sue

HIS Grief Has Left Him, and He VIII
Keep That 5000.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, May 5.-Some
few months ago the leading hotel Of
Oshkosh, the Beckwith House, was
totally destroyed BY FIRE. -Four
persons in the hotel at the time lost
their lives. Among the number
was Mrs. S. b. Page, the wife OF a
wealthy lumberlnan and capitalist,
who occupied a suite OF rooms
On one Of the upper floors. While
the hotel was burning Page appeared
on the scene, and just about the same
time his wife was seen at one Of the
upper windows frantioally cry
ing for help. Volumes Of smoke
issued fro.n the windows of herroom,
while the crowd was standingaghast
utterly helpless. Mr.. Page offered
$1,000 reward to anybody who
would rescue lis wife's body,
whether alive or dead. Charles
kief, the Assistant Fire Chief OF the
town, rushed up the steps, at the
risk Of his life, and soon returned the
with Hteless body ot the unfortunate
woman, who had been sInothered
before help reached her Page was
SO grief-stricken that he saidnothing
about the reward at the time or since.
Iie made his arrangements to depart
from Oshkosh Tor Davenport, Iowa,
where he viii in future reside.
Previous to his departure he was
served with ii summons in two
suits, both of which are OF more
than ordinary interest. One WAS an
action brought by S. Beckwith,
proprietor OF the hotel, against Page
for board bill. which he refused TO
I pay, on the ground that Beckwith
thad 10 fire escapes to his rooms,
I which he proposed 70 make test
case, to see whether landlords can
collect under these circumstances.
The other suit was by Assistant
Fire Chief Kief for collection OF
5000 reward offered by Page for
rescning his wifes body. lie now
refuses to pay that amount OF any
other sum.

CHIcAGo, May 3.-Walter Bullock
a lawyer, and an old citizen OF
Woodford county, was shot and in
stantly killed at ri Paso, Illinois,
last night, by p. c Ransom, who
was badly defeated in the recent
municipal election for mayor. Bull
lock was standing on West Front
street talking to friend, and made
some remarks about the election as
Ransom passed by. Ransom stop
ped and ordered him 10 retract his
words, and upon his refusal to do so,
pulled a revolver and shot him
three times, once through the head,
then through the heart, and once
through the shoulder. Bullock fell
gasped two or three times, and
died. Ransom walked down street
and waited in front Of the bank
building until he was arrested. He
was followed to Jail by an infuriated
mob crying lynch him." but no at
tempt was made to interfere with
the officers. The feeling against
Ransom in the community last
night was very bitter.

A Lively Scene.

Late dispatches report little change
in the flood at East St. Louis,
though a further rise is not expect
ed. 4 st. Louis paper, describing
the scene, says that when the Mis-
souri, became threatening, crowds OF
people were walking up and down
the streets and wondering what
would happen. Suddenly the news
spread like wildfirc that the Chica-
'go, Burlington and Quincy dam
had broken, and the water was rush
ing down upon the city. The
break was made known by the whis-
ties of locomotives and shouts OF
men. For fully ten minutes every
locomotive for circuit of three
miles shrieked in deaiening whistles
and the people in the interior of the
city imagined that the river had
broken up above, and was sweeping
down a new course through the
heart of town. Husbands at work
away from home left their labor
and hurried to their wives, and
uniting their efforts, began gather
ing together their movables. Every
one was alarmed to the highest
pitch, and no amount of reasoning
could convince the women that
death was not upon them. Some
of them abandoned all hope and
went through the streets weeping
and praying for help. 1t looked as
ii the day of Judgment had come,
and East st. Louis was being mar
shaled up to the inquisition. Ter
ror-stricken people could be seen
everywhere, and the scenes present
ed were sorrowful in the greatest
degree. Later the craze had subsid.
ed and given place to e'.ergy and
sense.
