POIYGAMY IN IDAHO.
The Latter Nay Saints Getting the
Bulge on the Geniiles.

WASHINGTON, January 29.-Delegate-elect
Mr.. Ainslie, the incumbent, is in the city
looking after the interests of his people,
and from him some interesting facts rela-
tive to the growth of Mormonism in the
Territory have been learned. Six years
ago the Territorial Legislature Of Idaho
had one Mormon representative, but now
there are 10. one of whom is bishop of the
church. The Mormon population is about
one-third of the IS 900 inhabitants OF the
Territory, and all of these people are
pledged to carry out the ideas of the head
OF the church at Salt Lake. Their teachers
or priests circulate among them continually
and not only instruct them how TO vote, but
also with whom TO trade.
Bad Stateof Affairs.
The state OF affairs existing in the Terri
tory under such leaders cannot be de-
scribed. and Mr.. Singisers mission here is
to urge Congress to adopt more stringent
and radical measures in treating the evil.
Defects in the registration and marriage
laws will be called to the attention OF Con-
gresSmen, and they will be urged TO make
it a crime for persons to go through
any marriage ceremony other than that
performed by a court officer or minister OF
the gospel. The question of politics is not
allowed to enter into the Mormon contests
in Idaho, but the sole object is to strength
en- the Church. A case in point was that
in the recent election conventions were
held by the two political parties, and the
Mormons agreed to support the Democratic
candidate, but when the time arrived they
decided upon one OF their own clan, a
bishop, and elected him to the Legisla-
ture.
The Flag Insuited.
All orders relative to the conduct OF
affairs are sent from Salt Lake several
months in advance of any important
event. and the teachers are careful to post
the polygamists accordingly. Prosely yting
is actively carried on. The young con.
yerts, some not more than Is years of age,
and of both sexes are first sealed to the
Church and taught to ignore the laws of
the United States. At recent ceremony
in the Endowment House the United States
flag was spit and trod upon, which so in
censed one of the male candidates that he
renOunCed his allegiance to the Mormon
Church and left the scene, although several
of the elders attempted to fercibly detain
him. All of these points will be fully ex
planned to Congress before Delegate Singiser
returns to Idaho.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
A Pennsy lyania Town Excited over
Qaeer Murder.

WILKEsBARRE, PA, January 29.-Nanti-
coke and vicinity are all excitement over a
terrible tragedy which occurred Tuesday
night at West Nanticoke, nine miles from
here. The murdered mans name is James
McFarlane. He lived at Plymouth and
was formerly superintendent of the Sus-
quehanna Coal Company. In West Nanti-
coke lives Samuel Clauser, night dis
patcher on the Lackawanns and Blooms
burg railroad. About a year ago, while
MCFarlane was occupied with work at
West Nanticoke, an intimacy sprang
up between Clauser's wife and
McFarlane. The husband suspected his
wife, and the parties were watched. Then
there was a separation for a time, when
conjugal relations between the husband
and wife were again resumed. After this
McFarlans seems to have been forgiven,
for he continued his visits to their house
and took his meals there while in West
Nanticoke. 1t il alleged, however, that Nc
Fsrlane's visits TO Clauser's house were
not agreeable TO the husband, and that
the latter had his suspicious as to
the object of his frequent pres
ence there. Last Thursday night McFar-
lane was found in bed at Clauser's house.
A terrible wound in his head, evidently
made with billy, caused his death. Nc
Farlane had been stopping at Clauser
house the week previous 10 his death.
Clauser says that when he came home on
that night, at O'Clock, he found McFarlane
in bed, with the wound upon him. He
says he at once went to the house OF a man
named Fracs aud retuyned with his SON.
who, HpOE entering the room where
The Wounded Man Lay,
spoke 10 him. McFarlane recognized Frace
and told him that he knew who dealt him
the blows, but would not tell until the
next morning. Afterward McFarlane sank
into Inconsistencies, and died without re-
yealing the important facts. Clauser has
not been arrested. There are all sorts OF
wild rumOrs about the affair. One story is
/ that Clauser was seen on the same evening
at Atberton's house, q little below West
Nsnticoke. He was then in his shirt
sleeves, and was very much excited.
! When asked the reason OF his
/ nervousness, he replied that there'd
| teen terrible mus st his home.
Some parties had been beating McFsrlane.
and ne wanted some one to so back and
help NcFarlane. nPighbor who had re-
turned with him found McFarlane in bed,
injured as described.
The physician who was in attendance on
'he deceased says he never could have
moved after he received the blow, and this
| .esds 10 the suspicion that he was struck
in TIE hoTse. McEarlane leaves a wife and
| three children. A post mortem examiss-
| uon was made of McFsrlane An eight,
inch crack was found in his skull.

"THE WORLD" FOR SALE.
Rumors that Jny Gould would Like
Purchaser for His Organ.

NEW YoRK, January 29.-There have been
rumors quietly circulated in newspaper
circles for day or two past to the effect
that the World newspaper OF this city was
about to be sold to Washington and John
r. Mclean, proprietors of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and that George Alfred Town
send was to be the editor. The rumor is
partly right and partly wrong. There have
been persons negotiating for the purchase
Of the paper, and among them are the Nc
Leans; but George Alfred Townsend has
not been agreed upon as the editor in case
they should acquire the paper. There are
other parties from Cincinnati who are
negotiating for the purchase of the World.
In addition to these there are parties
from Chicago and st. Louis who have
made offers The price offered varies from
$3.50 O00 to S325,000. 1t is understood that
Jay Gould first asked $500,0O0, and has
gradually come
= ( Down 10 $3.50, 200.
The negotiations have been going on
quietly for two or three weeks past, in fact
ever since the beginning of the year. All
of the would be purchasers are prominent
journalists in their respective cities, and

World. 1t is no secret that Mr.. Gould is
very tired of holding up the World fnan-
cially. He has discovered that the fact
that 1t is known as his organ is sufficient to
destroy its influence, and that as long as he
remains the nominal owner the public will
not buy it to any profitable extent.
An effort has been made during the past
year to work up circulation by lowering
the price to two cents and largely advertis
ing it in various ways. Newsmen state
that their effofts have been practically use
less. The Democracy do not acknowledge
it as their organ or as the exponent of DEM
ocratic principles. There is probably room
for Democratic paper here. The Worlds
real value lies in the fact that it is one of
the voting members of the Associated
Press, having purchased the franchise with
the old Courier and Enquirer, James Wat
son Webbs paper in 1860. 1t is asserted
by those coHversant with the details of
the matter that the purchase OF the World
by one or other of the parties negotiating
will be consummated during the coming

We are more than pleased to be able

active, energetic and pleasant. The

stated. The presumption however is
that the new company will be CON-
posed of and managed BY women who
will do general insurance business,
thinking that they can succeed where
men at present are failing. Let US
hope for the sake of the fair ones that
they will not give us another instance
of the consequence "when lovely
woman stoops to folly" Women have
tried to be brokers, and tried to run
stock exchanges, but money has thus
far been so little attracted by their
charms in the realms of business that
both projectors and supporters have
generally been left high and dry. A
party of insurance men are at present
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of FORM
ing an insurance company to take risks
on the lives of horses. There is a horse
insurance company in London, which
takes risks up to five hundred dollars
at term not exceeding one year, and it
is doing good business. There. is no
reason why similar concern, more
literally managed ehould not succeed
here.
