MURDER WILL OUT.
Girl Guilty of Chloroforming Man to
Death.

PORTLAND, Oregon, February lion the
goth of last November the community was
startled by finding the body of man in the
river just below Weedler's mill. The body
was stripped, tied with cords, and with
hundred pound weight around its neck. No
marks Of violence were discovered on the
body. For days it was lying In the Morgue
awaiting Identification. Finally 1t was bur-
led under the supposed name of John And
rus. But little doubt was entertained al the
time that it was foul murder. District At
torney Capler and Chief of Police Lappens
have ever since kept up a vigilant pursuit
for some clue. They were rewarded by
tracing the murder to the door of Carrie
Bradley, the keeper of a notorious bagnio on
Third street, who left the city few days ago.
Last night two girls, Dolly Adams and Mol
lie Flipper, exposed the whole crime to Ca
pier. They stated that j. NJ. Brown, of
Freeport, w. T., came to Portland last fall
and made the acquaintance of Dolly Adams,
who succeeded in inveigling him into Brad
ley's bagnio. Some difficulty ensued over
money matters. Brown, in order to get sat
isfaction, determined to pursue the whole
Bradley band, and it was through his efforts
that Bradley was indicted for keeping a
bawdy. house.
She in return vowed vengeance on Brown
for all her troubles. She sent one Pete Sui
livan around to the National Hotel to induce
Brown to come to her house. He did 80.
Then Carrie, under pretense of friendship,
protested to treat him. She got him en- the
sofa between her and another person, and be-
gan to ply him with liquor drugged with
laudanum. She got him considerably under
The influence of the drug, then had him
taken up stairs, put to bed, and afterwards
with her own hands applied a handkerchief
saturated with chloroform to his face until |
he was dead. Then, with the aid of accom-
plices, she disposed of the body in the man
ner above described. For nearly three
months she succeeded in Guiding detectives.
No arrests have been made, but the Chief of |
Police knows the whereabouts of the entire
,ang.

ticulars of the killing of James Coyle a,
Centreville, Oregon, are as follows; About
two o'clock on TUESDAY, Coyle, Jim Swag
CART and two others were playing cards.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
A Claim That Its Land Grant Has Not
Been Forfeited.

New YORK, February 6.-The Tribune
editorially notices letter on the affairs OF
the Northern Pacific railroad, and says that
the rapid construction of last season, on both
sides of the continent, leaves only $50 miles
OF road yet to be built. 1t is expected that
the entire route between st. Paul and Duluth
and Puget Sound will be opened in 1884.
The company claims that its land grant is
not affected by the failure to complete the
road before the 4th of July, 1870, the time
specified by law. The act chartering the
company and making the grant provided
that in the case of breach of contract by the
company, Congress may use the lands to Sc
cure the completion of the road. As that
end Is now being attained as rapidly as
possible, the company maintains that there
is no occasion for Congressional interference.
The executive department of the government
1t seems, has thus far proceeded upon the
theory that no portion of the land grant is
forfeited. A few months ago the President
approved $50 miles of the road, and patents
were issued for the lands earned by the con-
struction of that portion of the line, in ac-
cordance with the original grant.

Wisconsin Speaks to tine Point

MADISON, February 9.-The Legislature
passed the following resolution to-day:
Resoloed, as the sense of the Legislature
Of Wisconsin, That as the Territorial Gov
eminent of Utah has been in fact seized bv
the Church called Mormon, and as 1t has
been able to control majority of the elect
ors In said Territory favorable to prohibit
ing the objects for which is was created, and
permitting its powers to be used for the pro-
lection Of crime and the degradation of clti-
zens, 1t Is the right and duty of Congress to
SO alter the form and plan of Government as
will efectually meet the evils to be rem
edied,and to enforce the reforms by adequate
remedies; and the constant reinforcement of
this so-called organization by the sweepines
Of America and Europe, should be legally
discouraged, If not directly prohibited,

Still Pushing His Ship Railroad Scheme.
NEW YORK, February 9.-The Graphic's
Washington correspondent says: Captain
Eads Is net at all discouraged at the hostile
attitude Of Page, Chairman of the Commerce
Committee. He is having hearing before
the Senate Committee, and is confident that
he will get report favoring the guaranty of
the Tehuantepec ship railroad bonds. This
done, he will wait until the House deter
mines whether or not thele is to be special
committee on interoceanic canals. He will
try to have the matter referred to this COM
mittee, If there be one authorized If not,
he will either attempt TO secure its reference
to some other standing committee, or at
tempt to override the opposition of Page be-
fore full Commerce Committee. He has
secured the countenance of Governor Pach-
eco, and 1t Is said that none of the other Pa
cific slope members will oppose the measure.
He maintains that this railway will be es-
pecially advantageous to San Francisco, and
the Pacific coast generally, because it will
open up competition with the transcontinen-
tai railroads, and will practically put the
Golden Gate 800 miles nearer to New York.
He expects that New York, Chicago and st.
Louis will be friendly also, and that indeed
all the commercial cities of the country will
reap benefit. lie maintains that he will
be able to show this when he comes before
Congress with his measure. He said to-day
that he desires to give his government the
first opportunity to take lien On the work,
but if 1t refuses he will at once accept the
offers of foreign capital to build the road.

BE JUST 10 the old man. That was good
speech made by Jefferson Davis before the Be-
nevolent Society of the Army of Northern
Virginia at New Orleans, the other day,
judging by the peroration, as follow S:
Brothers, you have endured all the fat igues
of many campaigns and the dangers of q
hundred battlefelds. You remember how,
amid the tolls and hardships of the trying
times, comrade gave you piece of bread
and draught frem his canteen. There are
no ties like those which grow up under such
scenes, and you are indeed brothers. You
have written your record you have done
your duty. The principles You then asserted
as necessary for the preservation Of the
American Constitution are now as they were
when you struck for them, and the existence
Of the best government the world ever saw,
the American Union, is still indlssolubly
bound up In the principles for which you
fought. De still ever ready to fight for the
Union, as would be willing TO unsheath
my sword for it."-Sat Lake Tribune.
We do. not think Davis made any such
speech.

THE Inter Mountain of Wednesday after
reviewing the situation in regard 10 legisla-
tive apportionment, says: "Then 1t clearly
remains with ourselves to act. The former
board of apportlonment is defunct, and we
have no law authorizing the appointment of
another. There is clearly no way out of the
difficulty but the calling of a special session
Of the legislature by the governor, and the
passage of law by that body fixing the repre-
sentation of the several counties. If no ap-
portionment is made no valid election can be
held and the session must unavoidably lapse
Not so. Congress appointed a Commission
once TO apportion the Territory. 1t should
do SO again. The apportionment made by
the former Commission was manifestly
wrong, but under It the members of the
Twelfth Legislature were elected. No ap.
Forthcoming act became law at the Twelfth
Session. IL is right Congress reserves to
itself TO provide for such apportionment and
now II becomes Its duty to do So. Delegate
Maginnis should al once introduce bill for
the appointment Of a new Commission TO
apportion the Territory.

Chicago OH the Church of the Future He
Is the pastor Of the Unity Church, and has
for some time been known TO have lax ideas
with respect 10 cardinal points of orthodox
faith. Some dissatisfaction having been en-
pressed Ut his ministry on this account, he
rendered his resignation, which the congre-
CATION refused 10 accept. Since that time he
has been even more outspoken, and has
pretty much thrown aside all pretensions TO
religion. Bis services last Sunday were con-
Quoted without prayer, for he says he does
not believe In the old idea Of prayer-that 1t
can not avail 10 arrest the laws Of nature
that by IL God Is moved TO arrest the action
Of certain laws on the one hand and TO pro-
duce special effects on the other; he says all
such notions win be discarded as the insura-
bility OF natural law comes TO be understood;
and SO he announced that he had abandoned
petitional prayer forever. Instead of prayer
he delivered an invocation TO all to be good.
He did not take any text from the Bible nor
refer TO IL In any way In his sermon, because
he did not believe In any such thing as In
SEPARATION or any inspired book, but read us

considerable length TO elaborate on the idea

NOT YET REFUTED.


When six or seven centuries ago the holy
Land fell into the bands of the Turks who
forced the Christians from the holy places Of
Palestine, there were valiant souls followed
In the footsteps of Peter the Hermit In cru.
sades against the hosts of unbelief. AL.
though Richard led the third crusade to
victory over Saladin, and the Earl of Corn
wall in the sixth achieved honorable success,
the almost unbroken line of events was dis
aster to those who carried the Cross to con-
fict with the Crescent, and time with It's
subtle influences has wrought greater re-
suits than mailed warriors under hostile
banners. There have been other Saladins In
the field against Christianity-Volney Vol
taire, Gibbon, Paine. There have been
other valiant knights who buckled on the ar
NOR and broke lances with these Infidel foes.
The results of these forensic encounters
were not unlike those Of the crusadcs. The
Infidels were not exterminated, but Chris
tianity has grown and strengthened, the faith
Of The highest civilization, the all-sufficieDt
and accepted religion of the greatest intel
lects and the grandest souls the world has
known-to the poor and the opulent, the pow
erful and the weak, in vigorous health or in
the clasp Of death comfort, guide, and ref
uge. This is the test this is the victory of
Christianity. Latterly Caliph Ingersoll has
dashed his gauntlet In the teeth of the be-
levers and challenged Its chiefs to the arena.
With valor passing discretion, imbued doubt
with heroic purpose, and believing
I" He Is thrice armed who hath his quarrel just"
by scores and hundreds they have leaped the
forensic barriers and broken lances with the
doughty disbelieyer. Among them notably
are Jere. Black, Rev. Talmage, and DR..
Voolfolk. We have read something of the
arguments Of the first two; we have heard
the argument Of the latter. We had hoped
these refutations would be all-sufiicient and
and confess yet disappoint-
ment. The Sir Valiant who will roll the
brilliant Infdel La the dust Of discussion has
not yet entered the lists.
There is another association In existence
whose brotherhood Is known throughout the
world, whose mystic tie binds them In unity,
anity, and fidelity no other has approached.
In every land, on every sea, of different
tongues and types of man, Its faith and its |
language are tho came. II has been perse-
,uted, reviled, and banned. Yet from Orient |
o Occident the faithful Of this brotherhood |
,earken not to the tongue Of the traducer
Ind respond not to scoffes. Its self-consci-
BUSINESS that its faith is pure and its deeds
or the welfare Of humanity is sufficient and
; is superior to the petty animosities and
