LITTLE Rock, ARK, November 16.-The
notorious desperadoes, the Tanner brothers
have at last, like most men of their class
met their fate, dying in their boots. These
brothers for many years have resided on
Lost Prairie, on the northern bank of Red
river, some distance below Fulton. Their
names are synonymous with all that is mean
and devilish, and on many occasions they
have raided the neighboring villages, gallop-
ing through the streets like Indians, and
fourishing their revolvers and barking like
wolves. Some time ago they claimed piece
of real estate belonging 10 M. Harvey, a
neighbor, and brother of John Harvey, of
Hope, one of the best known citizens in th at
part of the State. A lawsuit followed, in
which Harvey was the victor. Since then
the Tanners have nursed their wrath until
yesterday, when, with a friend, they got
drunk and went in search of Harvey. He
heard of them, and went into a store at Lost
Prairie. They searched the store and he
fed across the country 10 Negroes cabin, the
demons in pursuit. Here he found a loaded
shotgun and warned his enemies 10 desist
They broke down the door, and as one of
them stepped upon the threshold Harvey
shot him in the face, killing him Instantly.
The other Tanner, srnied with large knife,
then came at him, and he shot him in The
abdomen with fatal effects. The third fed
to the woods. Harvey was shot in the right
arm, but not seriously injured. When the
officers arrived the elder TANNER was found
dead and cold, the knife clasped in his right
fingers.

WASHINGTON, November 16.-The case of
the telegraph operator arrested sever al
weeks ago for swindling the firm of Hazel
hurst Brothers, proprietors OF bucket-shop
in this city, by holding back quotations and
signaling 10 confederaIes what stocks TO deal
in, was taken up in the Police Court to-day.
Kirchner, the operator, was put on the stand
in his own defense. He stated that he was
discharged by Mr.. Hazelhurst, who charged
him with changing the quotations, but the
first quotations he had ever changed was
done under the order of Mr.. Hszelhurst, who
often kept back quotations and changed
them. the witness slated that his object
in holding back the quotations was the same
as Mr.. Hazelhurst's-to make money. 1t was
necessary for the witness to have persons
outside with whom he could communi-
cate TO deal in the stocks for him, so
that he could make money. He had pur-
pose in Withholding quotation. That OBJ
iect was to make money out OF Hazelhurst-
The witness got = percentage out OF the
profits made by the outsider. He generally
communicated with his outside dealers by
note, and they divided the profits equally.
The witness lad admitted to Mr.. Hszelhurst
and the detective that he had gotten $500
out of the affair, but he was just as likely 10
have said SSOeO because he expected to be
taken right to Jail. The Court not being
well up in stock Transactions, the witness ex-
planned 10 him at his request how holding
back quotations could be used TO the adj
vautsge OF the person who ran
the Office, Kirchner said that, for
instance. when Western Union was SELL
ing for eighty seven and customer
came in and wanted to buy some Western
Union, and while he was in your Office you
received quotations that showed that this
stock had fallen one-half a point, that IF,
half dollar on q share. II you

this Kind you make half point on each
share by keeping back the quotations.

which a Mr.. Plane bought fifty shares of St.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
HOLLY STRINGS, MISS, November 15-The
Memphis Avdioache, of this date, contains a
card from w. II. Bruton, the United States
deputy marshal who attempted to assassin
ate H c. Carter at this place on last Thurs-
day evening, and who is now under bond
awaiting the action of the next grand Jury.
In this card he denies the truth Of your cor
respondents account of his crime. This de-
NAL is unfortunate for him, as there are
many uuimpeachable witnesses TO the shoot
ing, all of whom, so far as we are able to
learn, tell substantially the same story as
that published in the APPEAL. Among
these are three members of our bar, and two
other gentlemen, all of whom are of the
very highest character and respectability.
As Mr.. Bruton will probably go the peniten-
tiary, his malice toward lawyers and the law
is natural as that of thief toward po-
licemen. His habitual drunkenness, his re-
fusal to pay his debts, and his loose conduct
generally caused him be discharged by
the Greenbsck leaders from the control of
the local organ they had established in
this city, and he has gone from bad TO worse
ever since. His fall is a sad one, az be is
said TO have been at one time a Baptist
preacher and a man of comparatively decent
reputation. He makes another unfortunate
statement when he Gays that he once called
your correspondent a liar Hto his face" Ito
gether with other abuse). The mere fact
that he is the only authority for this stale
ment is sufficient proof 10 all who know him
that it is false, and to those who do not know
him we will merely say that in political
speech we proved him TO be ga liar, cow
ard, and scoundrel 10 his face" and al
though he sat within three feet of us he did
not open his moulh-thus acknowledging BY
his silence, as the remnant of his conscience
compelled him to do, the literal truth of
every word we uttered. ZoRAB.

THE NINET AND NINE.

There are ninety and nine that live and die
In want, and hunger and cold,
That one may revel in luxury
And be Tapped in its silken fold;
The ninety and nine in their novels bare,
The one in palace with riches rare.
They toll in the fields, the ninety and nine,
For the fruits of our mother earth;
They dig and delve in the dusky mine,
And bring its treasures forth;
And the wealth released by their sturdy blows
To the hands of the one forever flows.
From the sweat of their brows the desert bloom,
And the forest before them falls;
Their labor has builded humble homes,
And cities with lofty halls;
And the one owns city, homes and lands,
And the ninety and nine have empty hands.

The villa woman Of lhe woods.

RALkIGH, n. c., November 16.-For
months past there have been rumors of
terrible apparitiop which has terrorized all
the women and children in Clear Creek
township, n. Z. The women say that for
two weeks they have been subject 10 terrify-
ing visits, in the absence Of their husbands,
from creature like a shiny black negroes,
with long hair aud cleaning eyes. She asks
in hardly distinsuishable gibberisb, for a
baby to eat, and makes efforts to get hold Of
the children. The men, getting tired of the
fears OF their wiyes, determined to try to
catch the creature, and for the last few
weeks crowds OF farmers have been daily and
nightly chasing her without success The
frat effort 10 catch her was made week ago
by JOHN Roberts, blacksmith. The wild
creature had appeared several times at Ere
which il was the habit of Garry Moore, COL
ored, OF the neighborhood, TO light after dark
10 the yard OF his house for the preparation
of his meals. Roberts was put there to
watch her, and she appeared even before the
flames were we'll kindled. She presented
such wild look in the half light, and
asked for food IN such a wild fashiou, that
Robtrts was demoraliEed. He recovered,
however, made an outcry and attempted TO
seize the woman, bat she slipped through his
hands and disappeared in the dark shadows
of the woods. Tuesday night she Was again
enticed from the gloom of the woods by the
klnoIioS OF nfes ana was chased by thirty
men without success. Capt. Marsh Allen,
later in the day, met her in the neighbour
hood, with her face Torn and bleeding, and
long, bloody knife in her hand. The crea-
ture was naked, and her hair reached almost
10 her feet, but was kinkv like that Of an
African. Yesterday the farmers, some
mounted and others On foot, assembled for
the purpose Of surrounding a swamp in
which the creature was known 10 be hid
There were 400 men banded together for the
chase. AT fret il was attempted TO run her
down with bloodbounds, but they refused TO
chase her, which deepened the superstisious
feeling with which the men, as we'll az the
women Of the community, began 10 regard
her. The men then made an attempt 10
catch her, but without SUCCESS. The ex-
element among the negroes and simple coun- |
try folks ia intense. By the more intelli- |
gent families from that section, the theory |
is advanced lat the creature is some half |
witted woman who has 20 long been hunted |
down that she lives in terror OF all humsn |
beings, aud therefore lives like an animal in |
the forest, her necessities having forced her /
10 eat anything she can get, including even |
human fesh. Some months ago an infant /
was spirited away from its parents yard in
their absence. In that section of the coun- |
try where the wild woman has been seen, the /
white and black, are in terror for /
fear their little ones may also become food /
for the cannibsl negroes.

the act that has excited its Indignation.
Foul and wicked as the murder that goes by
the name OF Iynching il, the occurrence at
times OF that crime lie proof that there is a
feeling in the community that revolts against
murder; feeling that, if properly appealed
to and rightly directed, weuld become ire
sisiibly powerful in REFRESHING murder. Ii

is, "Thou shalt not kill" for vengeance and
suppression.

CLEVELAND, November 16.-Henry Ellis,

his room at the Empire House, where he ar
rived last night. The coroner's jury was that
he suicided by morphine. In his coat pocket
was found letter 20 his wife TO come for the

ago he stopped at the same hotel with his
wife, and during the night took poison with

he thanked the physicisn for it, expressing
regret at the attempt. Last night the hotel
clerk recognizing him, sportively asked if he
thought he should ever Try it again. Els

of that kind was enough; that be had more

Hard ON the Doctors.

STEUBENvILLE, o., November 16.-Iu
April, 1878, two female inmates of the JEFF
ferson county in6rmary became mothers.
One, a half idiot named Rissa Imhof, de-
clared that the in6rmary physician, DR..
Willigman, was the father of her child. Her
testimony was corroborated by Superintend-
ent Armstrong and his wife. DR.. Willig-
m an denied the charge, but his guilt was be-
lieyed and proved, and be was dismissed in
disgrace with stain upon his character.
He lost his private practice and was COM
PEELED to leave the neighborhood. Director
Stark was charged with the paternity OF the
other child, whose mother was Chrissy
Cooper, a woman of loose character, but was
declared innocent and the investigation was
dropped. Subsequently Armstrong removed
to Medina, and was secretly fol-
lowed by Chrissy Cooper. Both lived there
some years. A few months ago Chrissy
married man named Engs, and
went 10 Akron. Last Saturday Armstrong
followed her, demanded and took her child,
born in the JEFF .rson county intirmary, claim
ing to be its father. He said the cause OF his
act was that his wife was barren, and he
wanted an heir. The woman resisted, and a
habeas corpus trial began at Akron to-day.
Dispositions will be taken here to plbve the
parentage of the child. 1t is now believed
in Steubenville that Willigman was uujustly
punished and that Armstrong was the father
of that child ~ well as of Chrissy Cooper's.
Armstrong was an active member of the
Methodist church, and superintendent of the
Sunday-school.

Randall Interviewed.

Speaker Samuel j. Randall passes much oil
what be calls his holiday time" at his home
stead in Berwyp, something less than a score
of miles west of Philadelphia. He was
found at home to-day in his old-fashioned
mansion, which is half hidden in evergreens
He warmly greeted your correspondent, and
upon learning his errand gladly consented
10 give his views upon the political situa-
ton and the probable policy of the Demo-
cratic Congress on the tariff question, the
revenue system and civil service reform.
Mr.. Randall said:
81 believe the recent Democratic and re-
form successes mean a declaration of the
American people in favor of greatly reduc-
ing public expenditures both in the general
and the local governments. Such reductions
are easily attainable and can be secured
without any friction or injury to the proper
administration of public affairs. Republic
can control has led 70 extravaganza in every
direction, and the people believe, as be-
lieve, that the party now in power is not
eouai 10 accomplishing the reforms which
are demanded. There are many questions
vital to the prosperity of the country which
must be met, and among the number no one
ia of more importance than to do away with
the internal revenue system. As for myself,
l am in favor of an absolute and entire re-
peal of all such taxation. Now let me tell
You Why In the first place the government
does not need the money. The surplus reve-
nue. from all sources last year was about
s145. 600 900, or within 81 100000 of The
amount raised under the internal taxation
laws, and surely, with economy, no
difficulty can arise from the abroga-
ton of this surplus. Now for another rez-
SON. The internal taxes are offensive to the
people "a a mode of raising revenue in this
country. They have been submitted to only
as necessity resulting from the war. The
Republicans made mistake in not CO.
operating with the Democrats at the last
session Of Congress in securing the then pro-
posed reduction of SO, DOC, 900, and BOW the
whole system must 60. But that is not the
end of the matter. This system maintains
1000 people in Office, who are kept by the
people at cost of $4,000 year. With
the repeal of the service this burden will
also be removed from the public shoulders"
One important source OF revenue was TO
be secured by q wise reform OF custom du-
ties and imports. His belief ia that thor
ough reform and simplifcstion of the tariff
laws is necessary, and should be proceeded
with as speedily as possible
"The people are opposed TO al subsidies
and all kinds OF jobbery."
By easy transitions Mr.. Randall got
around to the subject Of the Republican de-
feat on Tuesday. He regarded the result Of
the election rs a complete and fnal over
throw of abossism.n The leaders of all par
ties and factions, he said, would do we'll to
fully understand this feature of the result.
