The Democrats opened the Campaign here

An Old Scripture Question Answered In

An Old Scripture Question Answered In
the Hanging of Nine Horse Thieves
HELENA, NJ. T., August ll.-Meager
particulars have been received Of another
slaughter of horse thieves in the Muscle
Shell region, $50 miles northeast Of here,
last week, by cowboys. While in pursuit of
stolen horses log house was discovered in
the timber on q mountain side. 1t was
secretly watched day or two, during which
time several small parties of men came and
went, some by day, others by night having
in their possession horses evidently stolen.
1t becoming evidently that it was a
horse thieves rendezvous, the cowboys con-
gregated and last Monday night crawled up
close to the house and attacked it, OF tour
teen horse thieves about the premises at the
time nine were killed and FIVE escaped. The
cabin was set FIRE to and burned No par
ticulars have vet been received Of the fight
of Granville Stuarts cowboys with band
Of thieves at the mouth Of the Muscle Shell,
though the fight must have occurred several
days ago. The locality is over 200 miles
from Helena, with no telegraphic communi-
cation. There never was a period in the
history of this or any Territory when so
much horse thieving was going on. Citizens
are determined to effectively put q stop to
it. Fully fifty thieves have been hanged Or
shot in the mast month

lated nauseous story that the major had
not only seduced Miss -, but had basely
deserted her in her hour of trial And, If
report be true the major was openly and in
secret condemned for his laches in not
making such reparation to the lady as lay
in his power, and the whole country fell to.
talking about it.
One sultry summer afternoon the Lexing-
ton stage drove up in front of the leading
hotel in Millersburg. Down the street came
Miss - with her head high in the air.
Paying no attention to the people in the
doors or on the sidewalks, she entered the
stage, and as the coach went down the
pike, the citizens of this town feasted their
eyes on her for the last time. She has
never been seen here since.
This Was Not the End
of the scandal. The public began to dis
cuss irregularities OF conduct in the female
school which were said to have occurred
some time previously. 1t was alleged there
had been several lapses from virtue in the
institution. The Blaine scandal was the
cap sheaf, and the patrons of the school
took their children home and the institution
went to the wall. Col. johnson left the
town, and it was only after several years
and change of management that public
confidence was restored and the school re-
suscitated and put on substantial basis.
Col. johnson had the names of l25 pupils
on his catalogue of 1850, and the institution
which is now the pride Of the Bourbon coun
ty people, is usually attended by 100 to $50
young ladies. There has never been a breath
of suspicion against it since the affair refer
red to, and it enjoys to the highest degree
the esteem of the public.
Now this was the story which the Times
commissioner was instructed to investigate.
The school is still here, although the board
ing house occupied by the pupils was
burned down years ago. In l850-5l a
church was used as school house and
stands here to-day. On the site Of the
boarding house stands very handsome
college, containing recitation rooms, dormi-
tories, dining rooms etc. The pupils who,
during the years 1913, lS49, lS5 aud 1851, ,
attended the schools at Georgetown, Blue
Licks and Millersburg are scattered all over
the United States. Many of the males
yielded up their lives in the rebellion. The
institution furnished brave meu during the
war, some wearing the blue and others the
grav. Numbers Of them were seen by the
Times commissioner during his visit Of a
week to the Blue grass region. The ques-
ton arises in the mind of everyone, "Can
the story be cCrroborated?'
AfHdaylts.
The Times, as a bracer to the above
prints three affidavis affirming the story
but the only name appearing in the deposit
tons is that of Mr.. Blaine, the lady's name
aud that of the notary being omitted.

ACCORDING to the New York Herald, the
"rvo carloads of negroes" which Mr.. Ell
E,y, was credited with bringing into West
Virginia, really passed on through into
Ohio; and that, after all, Mr.. ELNNS is
only making a feint OF carving West Vir-
ciria in order to the better cover his tracks
in Ohio matters. This is doubtless the real
tact. We have heretofore remarked o. the
willy ELSIxS that, whatever else may be
ttutiGuuy said Of him it cannot be said ne Is
q fool; and yet if it were true that
he was hunting Democratic votes
in West Virginia with the
great flourish and fare Of brass horns
and trumpets that characterize all the
movements at Deer Park, that appellation
would be justly his.
Our Ohio brethren have much greater
need to be on the sharp look out. ELEISS
will not venture into that State until nearer
election time. He can accomplish his
work for the Buckeye State better where

WEE KEGS FUNERAL.

Burying a Chinaman in semi-Barbaric
StyIe-A Missionary Dividing Honors With
n joss House.
ALBANY, August ll.-Wee Kee, the muir
dered Chinaman, was buried this afternoon
with Chinese ceremonies. His body was
clad in q white shirt and black coat of
American style, but the rest Of the garments
were Chinese In the coffin were deposited
an extra Chinese gown, an additional pair
of Chinese shoes, and few other articles
that the dead person might be attired
through his journey TO the unknown land.
Before the beginning of the services, which
were conducted by Sha2shin, young
American-born Chinese missionary, Yut
Sing, Wee Kees cousin, placed fan in the
left hand of the dead man and pack Of
Chinese playing cards in the other. Shan
shin read portion of Scripture and made
an address Of fifteen minutes in Chinese.
After the concluding prayer the thirteen
Cinnamon present walled twice around the
coffin, but not until after the "President"
had directed the removal of table and
candleSticks at the head of the coffin. The
officiating Chinaman sang song in Chi
nese during these proceedings.
The body was then taken to the rural
cemetery and inferred. Candles made in
their country and JOSS sticks were lighted
and stuck about the open grave. Then
pieces of paper about foot in length and
seven inches in width, known as 'yumpo,"
a specie OF Chinese money, were distributed
among the celestials and each lighted sew
cral pieces and held them in his hands un-
til they were entirely consumed. This was
explained as necessary in order to furnish
The dead man with funds in his far away
Journey to the other land, the burning of the
'yumpo" being as essential as the dissolu-
ton of the body. The grave was then filled
up and the Cinnamon departed, leaving the
JOSS sticks burning in order to keep away
evil spirits. All Kay, the murderer, will be
defended by counsel from New York-Col.

CHICAGO, August ll.-Chairman Bar
num, of the National Democratic Commit
tee, accompanied by F. E. Conda, treasurer
of tie same body, appeared in Chicago yes
terday. They stopped at the Palmer House
and at once began to receive callers. Toa

reason why the Democrats should be dis
eouraged in the coming campaign.
But how about New York; asked the
reporter. @-.

have been telling us about the great num-
Der of Democratic voters that were going to
desert Cleveland this fall If there is any
truth in their assertions these votes will go
TO Butler rather than to Blaine-where they
said they were going-so do not see as his
caudidature hurts us in any degree. The
votes which we will get from them will not
stop at Butler so that one ofthem is worth
two of the others. 1t is mere matheMati-
cal proposition, and if the claims of the
Republicans are correct, Cleveland must

presencein Chicago now that he had certain
business interests here that needed looking
after.
