ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
YANoEBURG (Miss.) Jan. 6.-The steam
er Mountain Boy arrived here at 2:30 P. M.
yesterday with the Ashland iends on board
expecting to reach their destination, Marys-
vile Jail, about midnight. Sheriff Kountz
left here at 6 p. NJ. on Wednesday for Cat
tellsburg, arriving there at 1890 yesterday
morning, in time to attend the preliminary
examination Of Croft. While Croft was IN
examination the excitement was rife. and
growing. A crowd threatened
violence. Word was received that a train
loaded with lynchers had started from Ash
land and was expected at any time. Fear
ing the mob, the Mountain Boy, which
was lying at the wharf, was chartered to
convey the prisoners to Marysville. While
the Boy was raising steam a train from
Ashland rolled in with about 500 deter
mined regulators on board. The Sheriff,
with a party OF ten guards, by an adroit
movement, removed the prisoners from
the jail to the wharf. AS soon as the crowd
beheld the prisoners they started down the
bank with loud yells Of indignation, gather
ing arms and missiles ready for an assault.
The Sheriff, seeing the mob descending
and the Boy not having steam up, boarded
a ferry boat with his party and ran down
stream. The mob crowded on the steamer,
cut her loose and commenced chase. The
steamer not having sufficient steam soon
fell behind, but quickly got in shape and
commenced gaining on the slow ~ferryboat,
and in a short time the Boy approached 80
closely that a capture was imminent, but
the Mountain Girl appeared on the scene
on her regular trip mp from Ashland to
Louisa. She was hailed by the Sheriff,
pressed into service and the party rapidly
transferred to her. When thestransfer had
been made the Boy, black with an excited.
raging and bowling mob, was on her heels,
and the chase was resumed, but the Girl
flying light showed her G clean pair of
heels. Near Ashland the Hudson with the
Kentucky militia was met in mid-stream.
Captain Respess of the Mason County
Guards and 20 men were transferred to the
Girl and took charge of the prisoners. The
pursuing vessel was in sight, but when
they heard that the militia had arrived they
abandoned the chase. During the chase
the Girl cleared 10 miles an hour under
high pressure.
Forty Persons Injured I'm a Church.
Quincy (Ills.), Jan. 6.-During the fu-
neral Of Rev. Kuhlenholter at the Salem
Evangelical Church yesterday afternoon,
a ~frightful panic occurred. In a rush for
the street some forty persons were injured
six, all ladies, seriously. The church is
one of the largest in the city. All the
seats were filed, and the standing room in
the aisles and near the door was occupied.
Soon after the services began a seat in the
broke down. The people in the
vicinity thought the gallery was giving
way, and the rush commenced. ALI eff
forts to stop the stampede were fruitless.
The people were frantic and would hoed no
warning. In less than two minutes the
doorway was blocked up and the scene was
indescrjbable. Women were caught in the
crowd and were thrown down and tram
pied upon. Their shrieks and the shouts
OF men, who seemed frightened out OF
their senses. were fearful. For full ten
minutes the doorway was blocked up, and
a greater portion Of this time half
a dozen women lay on the steps under the
feet of the crowd. A few men who had
kept their senses went to work heroicslly
to rescue them, and succeeded in getting
them out after they had been walked over
by q large number Of men. As fast as
out the victims were taken to the ad-
houses and cared for. 1t was
found that several were seriously, and
probably fatally, hurt.
Maginniss' Plan to Place Mormons
Under Proper Control.
New YORK, Jan. 6.-The Herald's Wash
special says: Delegate Maginniss OF
Montana proposes IN excellent way to
put a stop to Mormon power in Utah, and
place polygamous Mormons under proper
Of the law. His proposition Is to
let Congress divide Utah, incorporate the
part with the State Of Nevada,
the southeastern part with Colorado, and
q small northern part to Idaho and Wyo-
ming. Congress has abundant power to
do this. 1t is evident that when 1t is done
the Mormon population will then be citi-
zens Of Nevada. and will be only a minor
ity Of the whole State; part will become
of Colorado, and be q minority in
State. The main portion Of the Nor
mon population would thus become citi-
zens Of States which already have estab-
lished Constitutions and laws, to which
the Mormons would, Of course, be amena-
BILE. Maginniss remarks that such q d.
vision Of Utah, and the distribution of Its
would not only be perfectly legal
and proper, but would have the advantage,
that the new boundaries would be natural
Of artificial.

New YORK, Jan. 6.-The Herald's Paris
says there is good reason to be-
lieve that an attempt to steal the bodies OF

just been discovered at Chizlehurst. How
ard Vance has just sent down several
detectives from London to watch the
Chizlehurst Cemetery Chapel, and hopes
are entertained that the person who has
planned the attempt will shortly be appre-
1t is believed that the person in
question Is q personal enemy Of the En-
press, but nothing definite 10 yet known
that point. The affair has been care
fully kept quiet. lest the criminal, or
criminals, should take alarm and escape.
The Parnellites have decided to call q

In February. They are still considering
the adyisability Of holding a meeting Of
