THE offence for which Henry wa:
shot was of the gravest nature under
the circumstances. The party was
stranded on an inhospitable coast
hundreds of miles beyond human
habitations. Their supplies were
greatly diminished, and the party
was disappointed in its expectations
of finding cached supplies at certain
points. This required a most rigid
outstanding of such food as remain.
ed. Every man was put upon an al
lowance which would enable the
party to prolong its search for sup.
plies and sustain life, though at a
low ebb.
Under such stress any man who
robbed the larder struck foul blow
at every other member of the party
Private Henry was detected on sew
eral occasions, abstracting rations
from the stores. He was admonish-
ed, but In vain, and at last he was
put under arrest and kept under
surveillance until the waning ener-
gies of the party demanded the en-
ployment of the strength of every
man. The first use this unfortunate
man made OF his liberty was to re-
turn to his habit of stealing food
from the common store. He was
caught in the act, and the party de-
manded his execution. 1t was one
life against a dozen, and the dozen
were not willing to starve that the
one might be prolonged. Twice the
party unanimously demanded his
execution, and twice Lieutenant
Greely interposed to save his life.
But at last it became necessary to
make an example of the man whose
selfshness was jeopardizing the
lives of the whole. He was led out
and shot.

Mr.. Blaine Confident.

NEW YORK, August 12.-Emmons
Blaine, tie eldest son of the Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency,
entered the headquarters of the Ma
tional Republican Committee, at No.
242 Fifth avenue, yesterday, bearing
a commission from his father to the
campaign managers. He was at
once conducted to the conference
room, where he remained in conver-
sation with Chairman Jones, Secre-
tary Fessenden and Mr.. Stephen B.
Elkins. While thus engaged, ex-
Senator Chaffee, of Colorado, and
John C. New, the representative of
Indiana on the committee, arrived.
This was Mr.. Chaffee's first appear
ance at the rooms for over fort
night, he having been absent in the
west. He returned on Saturday
from Indiana. Mr.. Blaine, after the
conference was over and he had dis
charged his mission, received a re-
porter, and in regard to the sensa-
tional story that his father had be-
come despondent, as published in a
Butler organ yesterday, said:
Father was never in better health
or spirits in his life than he was
when / left him, and he is thorough
ly confident of success too"

THERE is a great deal Of loose talk
about throwing the election of Presi-
dent into the House, and shus de-
feating both Blaine and Cleveland.
To get the election into the power OF
the House, Blaine and Cleveland
must both fail to secure a majority
of the electors, and to prevent either
of them from doing this, Butler or
st. John would have to carry at least
one State. The total electoral vote
is 401, the constitution requires a
majority to elect, and therefore the
successful candidate must secure not
less than 201 votes.
1t is not probable that either But
Ter or st. John can carry one Of the
States, but should either of them
succeed in doing so, and thus throw
the election into the House, what
chance would he have of securing a
majority Of the votes when it ..is re-
membered that the vote of each
State must be cast as a unit, each
State having but one vote and the
votes of a majority of the States be-
ing necessary to a choice? The talk
of either Butler or Cleveland having
a chance of election in the House is
70.

THE MURDERED MoRMoxs.
Details OF Tho Tennessee Tragedy

NASHVILLE, August IA dis
patch from Centreville corroborates
the report of the murder of Nor
mons in Lewis county by masked
men last Sunday morning. The raid
ing party numbered about forty
Thirteen attacked the house of Mar
tin Condor, where Mormon meet
ing was in progress. Forcing open
the door they were encountered by
Condor, armed with Il gun. In an
effort to disarm him one of the raid
ers was was struck with the gun, I'M
masking him. but he drew his pis-
tol and shot Condor in the bowels.
Condor was shot again by one OF the
party with buckshot and instantly
killed. At the same time another
attacking party fired upon Nor
mon elder named Gibbs, who was
partly hidden behind the wife of old
man Condor, killing Gibbs and Sc
verely wounding Mrs. Condor in the
thigh. The party then fired again
at a Mormon elder named Berry,
who was hiding behind bed, Kill
ling him instantly. Another MGR
mon elder in the house, who ran
out by the back door, was pursued
by an attacking party stationed out
side. They fired on him as he ran,
but it is not known whether or not
he was killed.
After killing Berry the masked
men started out of the house, and
just as they got out j. K. Hudson
fired and killed David Hinson, one of
the masked men. One OF the Hinson
party stood over the body and fired
two loads of buckshot at Hudson,
literally riddling him. The Mormons
in fear OF another attack
did not make a search un-
Ill Monday, when they foand the

THE REMAINS EXAMINED.

The casket was next placed upon
the floor and the enshrouded form
taken from it and placed apon a
table. On the bottom of the now
empty receptacle were noticed two
large spots of blood, bat they were
pronounced a common occurrence
at burials. The hands ofthe under
taker and physician now began to
cut the stitches and unwind the
white sheeting which formed the
first covering. The sheet was taken
away. the tarred rope entwining the
blanket cut and the work OF taking
off this last covering began.
Slowly the blanket was removed.
The blackened, heshless face, show
ing marks of the Arctic soil, bore
no semblance to the dead man.
The skull. The sightless sockets
and the half-opened mouth gave the
dead man a look of mute appealing
agony. The remains were complete
ly Unidentified as those Of Lieutenant
Kislingbury.
The physicians made a thorough
examination and the remains were
then placed back into the casket
and again lowered to the grave.

HOW THE HOSTILITY GREW.

1 HOW lhE tRth-
About four years ago a company
Of Mormon missionaries settled in
the vicinity of Centreville and began
to earnestly disseminate the doc
trines of fthis sect. The elders saw that
the intelligence of the community
and the extreme decorousness Of the
quiet natures by whom they were
surrounded forbade the attempt
to establish the prime feature OF
their faith and the grating of poly
gamy upon the enlightened institu-
tions OF the counties OF Hickman
and Lewis, which adjoined, and they
contented themselves with the un-
obirusiye dissemination of other ar
ticles of their creed. They gradu-
ally crystalized around two points
Shady Grove, in Hickman county
aud Cane creek, in Lewis. These
points were made the base of opera
ions, and here were held their meet
ings, and thence were sent to other
sections and other States the apos-
ties of their creed The presence of
the sect was the source OF no little
annoyance to the citizens, who were
educated with the idea that marriage
was most sacred and abhorred the
existence among them of those who
though they did not openly attempt
its desecration, yet taught doctrines
which involved the obnoxious prac
tice of polygamy. This aversion to
the new sect, while deep, yet gave
no potent expression Of its existence
until the terrible deeds last Sunday,
which shocked the counties from CEN
tire to circumference. The Nor
mons did not allow the year to pass
by unfruitful ofresults, fer they grad
ually gathered to their belief suffi-
cient strength to render places of
worship necessary, and at Shady
Grove and on the banks of cane
Greek they expounded the myste-
ries of the sect. Though these meet
ings were decorous and the machin-
ations of the elders performed with
comparative secrecy, yet they were
closely watched, as results indi-
cate.
THE AVENGERS DISAPPEAR.
After the avengers had finished
their bloody work they disappeared.
None of their names are positively
known save that of Dave Hinson,
who was killed. He WAS a farmer
of dangerous character, who had
been a noted guerrilla in the late
war. His body was carried home
and buried by neighbors, but the
whereabouts of those united with
him in the terrible deeds of that
Sunday morning are wrapt in mys-
terry. Their coming had been un-
expected, their vengeance bloody
and their departure secret.
The mail-carrier from Ivy Mill
Post flee, in the immediate vicini-
ty of the affray, passed the house
where the dead bodies lay Il few
minutes after the shooting occurred. |
He described the scene which met |
his eyes as he rode up to the gate of
Conder's house az never To be for
gotten.

THE FLESH NEARLY ALL GONE.


Afterwards Doctors Charles Buck
ley and F. A. Vaudeville made a
Joint affidavit, in which they re-
counted the facts of the exhuma-
ton and examination OF the remains
and said that the. body, in their
opinion, weighed about fifty pounds.
On examination ofthe head no signs
of wounds or injuries were visible.
The skin was not broken. Tie ears
and nose were intact. The eyes
we're sunken and wasted. The hair
was thick and from five to six inch
es long. The skin and muscles of
the interior portion of the face and
neck were intact From the upper
portion of the sternum and clavi
Gle to the lower border of the fifth
rib on the left side the skin and
muscles had all been removed down
to the ribs on the right side. The
skin and muscles down to the lower
border of the last rib were gone
There were two openings between
the fourth and fifth intercostal spa
ces into the thoracic cavity. The
muscles and skin ofthe anterior and
posterior of the thighs were entirely
removed except the skin on the an
terror portion of the knee joints /;
muscles and skin of left leg removed
TO within three inches of ankle Joint
On right leg skin and muscles re-
moved to within five inches of
ankle joint. Both. feet were
intact. There was no vestige
integument or muscles on either arm
including the muscles of the shoul-
derblades to the wrist joints, except
on The right forearm, the lnterosseus
membrane remaining. The exami-
nation of the posterior portion OF
body showed that the skin and
muscles of the back, from the sew
enth cervical vertebra, had been dis
sected or cut completely away down
to the bones, with the exception of
pieces of skin from two to three inch
es square on each side of the upper
portion of the sacrum. The flesh
removed was cut away with some
sharp instrument. That remaining
on the feet, hands and face showed
no signs of decomposition.

THE indianapolis Sentinel on the
Sth inst, contained an editorial
charging that Mr. Blaine had seduc-
ed his present wife in Kentucky and
then fed to Maine; that she with
her father followed him, and there
at the poirt of a shotgun he was
compelled to marry her. AS soon as
this reached Mr.. Blaine, he tele-
graphed Col. Richard Holloway, of
indianapolis:
have this moment received the atrocious
libel of the Indianapolis ;seAtinel- IL is utter

and in every implication. Political ISLANDERS
do not stop to notice. but this editor as
sails the honor of my wife and my children.
