The Lords TO Give WAY on the Land
Bill-State of the London Money
Market.

LONDON, August 1.-The Times, in a
leading article this morning, says: "The
Lords have yielded to what they admit to
be paramount political necessity, and have
accepted the bill, which they profoundly
dislike and distrust. 1t can hardly be
doubted that the same motives which have
hitherto actuated them will again prevail
when they come to reconsider the points OF
difference which remain between them and
the House of Commons"
The Times In its financial article says:
1--WE believe Italy has obtained with ease
the amounts of bullion she requires at pre-
sent, and the anticipated Withdrawals of
gold from the Bank of England on
Italian account are at any rate post
poned. 1t is quite possible that a bull
lion drain to America may begin at any
moment, but at present, In spite OF
the withdrawal Of bullion from the bank on
Tuesday for America, it cannot be said that
any drain has set in. The bank will be, no
doubt, prepared to raise the rate of dis
count quickly on the least sign of a drain to
America or elsewhere, but with the cessa-
ton of the Italian demand for the present,
there appears to be no necessity for any
action, at least in advance of an open
market"

TERRORISM.

does.

Gov. Churchill has received letter
| from prominent citizen of Fayetteville,
| Washington county, who states that the
civil authorities are powerless to arrest
the murderers of City Marshal Patton
and Deputy Sheriff Mount, who were
killed six weeks ago. The double muir
der was the continuation of a vendetta,
the assassins shooting down Patton and
Mount in the streets of Fayetteville
one night to avenge the death of a
desperate named Reed, who was slain
by the Marshal while resisting ar
rest. The murderers were mount
ed, and after Staying the Marshal and
Sheriff rode swiftly away, while the
citizens of the town, aroused by the dis
charge of firearms. flocked to the scene
of the tragedy Though the assassins
are known, no effort has been made to
arrest them, as they have sworn never
to be taken alive. They belong to a gang
of notorious desperadOes who occupy
tract of country known as the "West
Fork of the White River" distant five
or six miles from Fayetteville. For
years they have terrorized all the adjoin-
ing country, and since the Patton Mount
murder they have grown more law

ed for destruction, and the citizens have
for weeks been living in continual terror
of some dreadful calamity to be wrought
by these outlaws. The facts are all set
forth at length in the letter referred to.
The writer requested permission to raise
a company of men for self-protectlon.
This request was granted. The company
will be supplied with arms from the In
dustrial University. 1t is thought they
will be able to preserve peace and assist
the civil authorities in apprehending the
murderers of Patton and Mount.

Anti. Jewish FanatIcism in Germany.

Berlin Correspondence London Aeags.
The Berlin National Zeitung of July
18 publishes the following telegram
This evening Neustettin was the scene
of serious tumult. Yesterday an excited
crowd paraded the streets the whole
night long. Several shops and the
printing offices of the Neustettiner Zeitun9
were demolished. Over thirty arrests
have been made" In confirmation of
this the editor of the Neustettialer Zeitunq
earlier in the day was waylaid On his
way to the railway station by
man named Luettosch, who accosted
him, saying: "You are the man who
wrote those articles, meaning certain
statements denunciatory of the anti
Jewish proceedings, and thereupon set
upon him so ferociously that the editor
fell senseless to the ground. On recov-
ering consciousness, and having OBJ
tanned surgical assistance, he was able to
proceed on his journey. 1t appears that
the editor has lately received notices
threatening violence, and even death, at
the hands of the anti Semitics. The
outbreak in the town was the outcome
of anti Semitic fanaticism.

Colonel Finney relates the following
interesting story: About Green Mount,
the cemetery at Baltimore, Maryland, q
story is told that rivals in romance the
old tale of Romeo and Juliet. The
property was owned at one time by John
Oliver, rich English merchant. His
only child, beautiful girl of twenty,
was loved by young man whose only
unftness to become her husband lay in
the fact that a disagreement of long
standing existed between hlIn and the
girls father. Finally an elopement was
planned, rumors of it reached the father,
and he stationed watchmen about the
grounds at night with orders to shoot all
trespassers. Disguised in mems clothing
the girl attempted to escape, but was
shot dead just as she reached the outer
gate. Overcome with remorse at the
sragic fate OF his daughter, the merchant
had mausoleum erected upon the
spot where she fell, and decided the whole
property to the city for cemetery"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN TEXAS
HeartrendIng AmIctIOn In a Tennes-
see Family.
Troy (Temm.) Ne,os-Banner

By letter from Mr.. r. A. Hutchison,
of Montague county, Texas, to his
brothers in this county, we learn of a
very heartrending occurrence which be,
fell his family on the 9th of July, when
out travelling in a two-horse wagon, re-
turning with some lady visitors to their
homes who had been spending some
time with his family. The morning of
this sad day was clear and beautiful,
but late in the afternoon cloud arose,
accompanied by much thunder and
lightning, which struck with death
dealing bolt the travelling party of
friends, killing outright the two young
ladies, Miss Henrietta Lizzie Hutchison
and Miss Kittie Cox, a schoolmate of the
former, besides rendering inSensible all
of the others in the wagon. The team
first received the electric stroke, which
was more than likely transmitted to the
wagon, the left hand horse of the team
being killed first. What a heartrending
dispensatIon of an All-wise Providence,
bringing grief and sorrow in the twink
ling of an eye to families that were
all joy and happiness just a few
moments before. The two lively and
joyous maidens had just finished singing
the song "Hear Him Calling" when the
storm overlook the party, producing
such a sorrowful scene of sudden death
in the midst of life, proving that these
young girls must have had premonition
of the end that was so near. The imme-
diate family have in this awful dispensa-
tion a source of solace in the implicit
faith that the Judge of all the earth will
do right, although His ways are mysteri-
Gus and HIS providences inscrutable to
mortal ken.
