HOME ON FURLOUGH.
Two of tho Imprisoned Cass Coun.
ty Judges are Permitted to Re-
turn Home. Briefly.

When m An is imprisoned for Q crime
there is always an attendant disgrace, but
when he goes to Jail for principle and in
defense Of what he conceives to he his
sworn duty aud obligations 10 those who
have entrusted him with solemen response
biiities, there IS always heroism attaching
his devotion 1, duty, which at once robes
hi:a i'm the garb of martyr.
On Friday afternoon, at the depot when
the train from the east arrived, BAZOO
reporter met two men who may be called
victims of harsh and usurpiLg power on
the part of the United States district court,
presided over by Judge Krekel.
These men are Judges w. p. Barnes and
F. f Johnson, of the county court of Cass
county, and the crime ~ for which they
have been compelled To suffer
confinement i'm the dark, damp
and dismal Jail al Jefferson
City is simply because they refused to levy
a tax to pay judgments obtained in that
court on county bonds, which were issued
to pay a railroad debt. In 1880 the county
court Of Cass county met the holders of the
county and township bonds in st. Louis,
aud received from them proposition 10
accept one-third of the whole county ard
township debt, amounting to some 81 ,SOO,-
600. The proposition was reported TO the
people, and ii was decided 10 submit the
question of compromising the county debt
alone, amounting 10 100000, at soc. on
the dollar this being the nature of the pro-
position made in II. Louis concerning the
county debt. The bondholders would ac-
cept so per cent of the county debt or ac-
cept 33a per cent of the county and town.
ship debt combined. This distinction the
county court could not make the people
understand, thus holding out for a CON-
promise of the county debt alone at 33s
per cent. on the dollar, and 10 consequence
the proposition Was defeated by vote OF
five to one
Barnes and johnson, who were reelected
To their present offices, made application,
Friday, 10 Judge Krekel, at Kansas City,
to return home for two weeks for the pur-
dose of canvassing heir county with a
view of getting their people to come TO
some understanding in regard to a comprO-
mise of the Indebtedness The request was
granted and they returned home the same
day.
Judge Barnes, who is presiding Judge o.!
the county court, stated To the reporter
that he and his colleague, Judge johnson,
would do what they could to bring about a
settlement of the matter, bnt ii they
failed they intended to send in their resig-
r.A;ions To Governor Critenden; that they
were tired OF life i'm a Jefferson City Jail.
Judge Johnson had badly swollen
hand, the result Of a spiders sting given
him In the Jail.

This .ransiatip OF mine possesses the
peculiarly that it has been the subject of
prophecies from several clairvoyants. The
prophecy l remember the most distinctly
was pronounced By an American clairvoy-
ant in Denver City, in the summer of 1874,
who-although as ignorant of the Swedish
language rs, until then. of the existence of
the three poems-recited to me all the lead
ing stanxas /, however, did not remember
the occurrence at Mi until the translation
was made. Among those prophets, who
about nv more and less important circum-
stances and actions, Including my literary
efforts, is Swedish importer in Chicago,
whose seeing" also has been directed to
this translation. l doubt. however, the
truth of the report, that be should actually
have ventured to publish ii above his own
signature Yet, such IN effrOntery would
be comparatively mild - considering his
accomplishment in the line of efrOntery
1t would be in accordance with the avowed
intention Of my Chicago friends" Ito
whom | never hs-e belonged" in any
sense, bat who have rdopted every method
known to science ami - wanda ism, to de-
feat me, 10 suppre>s or annihilxte my
literary activity and general success.
But let US turn away from this somewhat
personal remark, which the OCCASION this
time imperstively d, manded, and listen At
tentively to the three electrifyiug poems,
with which l may, unknowingly, as trans
lator, already have had the honor to greet
another English reading public.

A PAIR COME TO GRIEF.
A Young Man Elopes With 6
Married Woman.

The following is from the Jefferson City
Tribune, of the llth inst:
On the night of the 9Th inst, about ten
o'clock, a couple. lacy. and gentleman, ar
rived at the City hotel The gentleman
informed the clerk that they would like to
remain at the hotel until train time The
clerk conducted them to the parlor and
told them they could make themselves
comfortable there ill the train arrived.
Abont IL O'Clock the same night another
man arrived In the city He swore out a
warrant before Justice Long. charging the
two at the City hotel with Improper CON-
duct, and hunting up Deputy Sheriff
Wagner, he commenced search for them,
and finally discovered them Just as they
were leaving the hotel for the train. 1t
seems that the woman was the wife of a
man we'll known i'm this country, and is
the mother of two little children, and i,
was the husband who followed and over
took them.
The young man who accompanied the
lady lives in the same neighborhood, and
is also we'll known in the county. They
were both arrested and lodged In Jail. The
woman was very penitent aud wept bitterly
during the night. Early yesterday morn
ing the husband visited the Jail, and after
q long consultation with his wife, she
agreed to return home with him. 1t ap-
pears that the young man and the woman
had, unknown to the husband, been quite
intimate. The husband was greatly sur.
prised and shocked when he discovered
her absence. She gives No explanation OF
her conduct, bat the young man, of course,
AS old Adam did, blames the woman He
says he did not induce her TO 60 with him
but that she was On her way to visit friends
and he brought her to town as an act OF
friendship. The charges were Withdrawn,
but the young man is still held for carrying
concealed weapons, pistol having been
found on his person.
