CITY OF his Preseuce-A Thousand Cit sens.

stay"
Hor SPRINGS, ARK. March l.
Yesterday morning q petition signed oy
LAT prominent citizens and representa-
tive business men was presented M. CT
Harris, editor of Flynn's organ, the
Horseshoe, Associated Press agent and
special correspondent Of the st. louis
Globe Democrat, requesting him to leave
the city, on the grounds that he had cir-
culated malicious and libelous articles
upon the condition of affairs at this
place, and that he was In so doing
iniuring the. business prospects and
paralyzing the Industries OF
the city by keeping visitors
who read these false reports away rom
the city through fear of more trouble.
Harris declined to go, stating that II any
member of the Committee of Fourteen
would confront him with single mis-
statement he would voluntarily relinquish
his positions. Numerous false accounts
of the condition of affairs here written by
him were shown him, chief among them
being the assertion that '1visitors and
citizens were being run out of the town
at the point of the bayonet and that
state of anarchy prevailed" He admitted
that these statements were injurious to
the place, but still declined to go.
Last evening about $3.50 O'Clock the
Chief of Police began hunt for Harris
with the evident intention of forcing him
to leave the city. He was found about
four O'Clock and taken to the office of the
Police Judge, where he was met by the
citizens assembled en- masse, and ordered
to leave on the 4:l5 train. He was es-
corted to the depot by large crowd OF
citizens and visitors and the Chief OF
Police and placed on the outgoing train.
just before leaving he was informed by
r. G. Davis, chairman of the Citizens
Committee, that the people of Hot Springs
never wanted to see him here again. His
significant reply was: "When l come
again I'n come to stay"
Six hundred or a thousand people wit
messed his departure. Ninetcen-twen--
tieths of the people are with the Commit
tee of Fourteen, and they are personally
and individually responsible for anything
that they may do. A mortgage was
foreclosed upon the Horseshoe by Il. g.
Davis, chairman of the committee.

Dastardly Attempt to Murder an Aged
Couple.

PARKER, D. T.. March 1.
Officers are searching for Matt Miller
who attempted to murder an aged
couple to secure their money. He in
duced the old gentleman and his wife to-
sell their farm in Woodbury. County, Ia,
and come with him to Dakota, represent
ing that he owned farm that they could
work. They bought two teams, took the
rest of their money, and all three started
for the Territory. Arriving at Finlay
last night at midnight, he induced them
to go to an old house which had
stood vacant for long time, telling
them they could stay in it all night and in
the morning go to his farm. Miller
alighted from the wagon, and as the old
gentleman got out Miller dealt him q
heavy blow on the head with a club. A
squabble ensued, during which Miller
procured an AK and attacked the old man,
knocking him senseless, and then attacked
the woman, knocking her down. He did
not get any money, but turned to run
away just as the old woman was recover
ing. She soon found her husband, who
was also recovering his senses, and the
two went to another house, over mile
away, giving the alarm to the neighbors,
who Immediately came to the place and
notified the sheriff. The old couple are
terribly wounded, but will probably re-.
cover.

Important Documents Bearing Upon the
Charges Against Governor Murray OF
Utah Mystcriously MissinG-somebody to
Get Warmed.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. q.
It has just leaked out that important
paper documents in the charge against
Governor Murray have mysteriously dis
appeared. One of the most important
documents among those sent from the
Department of Justice to Springer's
Committee some weeks since was war
rant issued in Murray's handwriting,
making charges and costs for the sum of
$50 for service and mileage and other
fees for the arrest of a man who really
walked into Murray's Office and gave him.
self up. The offender, the story goes,
lived some hundred miles from Louis
vile. The Postmaster at his place of
residence fancied he had violated the laws
relative to the use of mails for lottery
purposes, and so charged. The man said
to the Postmaster that he was ready to
meet the charges, so they together went
to Louisville, entered Murray'S office,
where the charges were made and the de-
Tense entered. Murray, however, it is
said, made out a warrant with all the
charges, amounting to eighty-s six dollars.

came out, and Murray reduced it twenty
six dollars. This document, however, i'll
Murry's own handwriting, Mr.. Springer
says he considers the most important OF
all the papers sent him, and this one
is now missing. 1t was, he said, among
the papers when first sent him, but
not among them when sent the second
time from the Department. Inquiries made
by Springer of the officials at the Depart
ment of Justice show that Governor Muir
rays attorney, Mr.. Wilson, of Louisville,
was probably the only person permitted
to handle these papers since they We're in
the hands of the committee the first time.
Mr.. Springer proposes to thoroughly in
vestigate the matter, and will make it
warm for somebody if it appears that the
document is really missing and nobody
but Wilson had access to the document in
the meantime.

Four Boys Launched Into Eternity by the
Explosion of a Magazine Containing six
Tons OF Giant Powder-TwO OF Them
Literally Blown to Atoms.
OaAHA, NEB., Feb. %
Steele, johnson & Co.'s powder maga-
zine, three miles south of this city, ex-
ploded with terrific force yesterday. The
building was completely destroyed, not
even splinter remaining, the only mark
by which its location could be determined
being the excavation in the ground where
the powder was stored. The cause of the
explosion is mystery. The theory is that
four boys-named Chris Maiden, aged
nineteen; Willie Mallus, thir-
teen; Willie Abney, fifteen;
and John Stetts, nine years eld-who
were hunting in the vicinity, tried to
break into the magazine and replenish
their stock of powder. In doing this
they must have struck fire in some way
and the sparks been communicated to the
six tons or more of blasting powder
stored there The real facts will never
be known, as all the parties concerned
were literally blown to pieces. The bodies
of two of the boys, headless and
terribly mangled, were found about
ZOO yards away entirely stripped
of clothing and burned all over to dirty
brown color, making them look like small
beech logs. From papers found by one of
the bodies it was identified as that of
Willie Mallus. OF the other two lads the
only traces found were four little feet, the
rest of their bodies having been blown in
to fragments so small as to be undistin-
guishable. The magazine was situatedin
thickly-wooded rayine. All the trees
within the radius of an acre were felled
and the ground blackened and torn up in
spots as though dragged with a harrow.

The Lasker Resolutions in Congress.

WAsHrNGToN, D. c., March 1.
The feeling over the Lasker matter is.
not as quiescent as might be inferred from.
the rather temperate speecheso of Thursday.
1t is the general impression that when the
resolutions are in the possession of the
House 1t will be the signal for some hot
speeches. Colonel Tom Ochiltree will
open the ball in his most lurid vein, and
number Of members are known to be
heavily loaded on the same subject. Much
will depend upon the terms in which Bis
marck's refusal is couched, but it is adj
mitted on all sides that the matter is like
ly to assume o serious turn. That the
House of Representatives will resent what.
is deemed an insult by formal resolutions
of some sort there Is very little doubt.
The German vote is very large, and this
Lasker resolution is to stand as campaign
ammunition for a long time to come The
probability Is that when it gets fairly be-
fore the House there will be enough cleo
pioneering music to fully satisfy the Ger.
man element. This may, it is feared,
even go to the extent of demanding Min
lister Sargent's recall, and further compli-
cate matters between this and the Ger.
man Government.

There was brief discussion in the Sen.

Der culture act. Although the bill was not
disposed of, it was quite evident that the

ingalls, said he was satisfied that the ex-
listing law has been used by land sharks
in the preparation of stupendous and
gigantic frauds. He said that he spoke
the sentiments of the people of Kansas
when he declared it to be their desire that
the law should no longer cucumber the

Again.
NEW YORK, Feb q.
At the beginning of the year 1879, the
Government resumed specie payment,
and the premium ON gold disappeared.
Yesterday, five years later, it is reported
that broker was visiting the banks in
Wall street, offering a premium for a call
on 81 100000 of gold any time dur
ing the year. The gold question
has become the uppermost one in
financial circles. Apart from the
possibility of the Government being
obliged to substitute silver for gold in
its payment of clearing house balances,
the heavy shipments of gold have
caused an apprehension that gold will
soon become so scarce as to command
a premium. Almost every steamer for
Europe has among its freight more or
less gold. In addition to this it was
intimated by q prominent financial au-
thority yesterday that some of the
banks have already begun the policy
of boarding up gold. 1t is true at any rate
that the demands for gold at the sub-trea-
sury of late have been very heavy. Since

Many bankers and brokers are predicting
that If this state of things continues gold
will certainly be quoted ere long at pre-
MUM. President Thompson of the Chase
National Bank said yesterday that If any
considerable amount is exported gold viii
certainly command a premium, and when
it does this it will cease to be currency
and will become merchandise. Already
there is some speculation in gold, and
offers are being made for a call on gold
to run through the year. Mr.. Thompson
believes that there is trouble ahead if gold
continues to be shipped abroad in large
quantities or boarded by capitalists al
home Mr.. Thompson admits that his
bank has been putting it's resources into
gold, as there is danger that currency win
drop to silver value only.
