POWELL CLAYTON.
His Record Before and Since the War,
Given an Airing.
Especial Telegram to the Globe1


Topeka, Kas., Aug. 3.-One Of Blafne's
prominent champions is Powell Clayton, Of
Arkansas. A number of the early settlers
Of Kansas have good reason
TO remember this gentleman. Early
in the fifties Clayton settled in Platte county,
Missouri. These were the days when the
territory Of Kansas was in its infancy and
the eye of the nation was upon her. The all
absorbing question was: "Shall Kansas be
free or slave?''- Hordes of rufIians were i'm
ported from Missouri and while the terri
tory had but 900 legal voters, at
every election between 5000 and 1000
votes were cast. These illegal votes were
under the direct command Of David 4. At
Gibson, United States senator Of Missouri at
that time. Gen. Clayton was an active
leader of the border ruffians. He organized
the celebrated secret society of pro-slaverv
men known as the s'blue lodge'' and was
said to be the Lieutenant Of Atcbison in the
force Of 5000 men, which on
May 81, 1856, sacked the town
of the unarmed free-state men. In this out
rage the Free State hotel and the printing
offices of the Herald of Freedons and the Kan
sas Free State were destroyed. He assisted in
the second sacking Of Lawrence, when
women and children alike were sacrificed,
and those who were permitted to live were
left homeless.
At the outbreak Of the war Gen. Clayton
took up arms in defense of the Union, and
to s'give the devil his due'' it must be said
that he was brave and daring officer. By
the men in his command he was hated, be-
ing tyrannical and despotic. At the close of
the war he removed to Arkansas and
entered politics as as Democratic poll
tician. In 1867 he joined the

Killed at a Picnic.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 3.-During a negro picnic
near Glasgow, Mo-, yesterday, two men
from Moberly, got into quarrel, and when
two officers interfered to preserve the peace,
one of them, Tom Saphry was shot and
killed by Harrison Mackey, one of the Mob
erly men. The latter was arrested and mob
attempted to lynch him, but were prevented
by the firmness of those having the prisoner
in charge. All parties concerned were
colored.
THE MURDERER HUNG BY MOB.
A dispatch from Glasgow says seventy-fve
to 100 negroes went to the jail between l and
2 O'Clock this morning and demanded the
keys of the jailor, and when they were Ie-
fused by that officer the door of the Jail was
broken in by the mob and Harrison Mickey
taken out and hanged to a tree just
outside of town. Before being strung up
Mickey was asked if he wished to pray or
whether he desired to make any statement.
He answered no, that he was not a praying
man and told them if they intended to hang
him to do it Quicklw. He
was then hoisted up and left
to strangle to death. The affair was con-
Quoted quickly, and very few persons outside
the mob knew of it until the body of the dead
negro was discovered hanging to the tree
this morning. Sophey, the man shot by
Mickey, was well known and highly re-
spected negro, and welded a strong in
fluence for good among the people Of his
race

Russia, but according to competent authority
there are only some $50, and whatever their ac-

Soon after the train left Louisville June
our coach who had no ticket. He didn't
claim to have lost it, but leaned back, looked
the official square in the eye, and said:
'I'm dead broke and have a hundred
miles to CO."
''You must pay or get Off, " was the reply.
ooh, certainly. | know the rules of the
road by heart. / am now about to appeal to
the generosity of the man in the next seat"
He appealed. He said he was an unfortu-
nate man who had failed to strike Job in
Louisville, and wanted to get back home to
starve to death with his family. 1t was a
vain appeal. The man said he was in the
same box himself, but was going home to
kill his family instead of waiting for hun
ger to do the job.
"Come, you must pay" said the conduc-
tor.
ooh, of course; but will noY appeal to
the passengers en- masse.
He rose up and made a little speech full
OF pathos, misfortune, hunger, cold and sew
cral other unpleasant ingredients, but no.
body seemed interested.
81 can't fool with you any longer" re-
marked the conductor. ''I'll stop the train,
and OFF you 60"
''Hold on just minute. am now about
to appeal toyou personally"
For five minutes he flung his soul into n
grand effort to melt the conductor. He
quoted the Bible, eulogized charity, and ap-
pealed TO humanity, but when he had finish
ed the conductor reached up for the cord
and said:
81 must obey the rules or lose my place"
"Say, lemme appeal once more"
"No--can't do it,"
The train stopped and the man bowed
goodbye TO everybody and got Off. Nine
miles up the road, when we stopped at
station, there was rumpus outside about
something and directly the man Of appeals
was hauled out from under the last coach,
where he had been riding on the trucks.
He was dirt and slush and mud from head
to foot, and the conductor looked at him
and said:
NOW, you want TO quit this business, or
I'll turn you over to the first constable You
look as if mule had dragged you twenty
miles,
''Exactly, but couldn't give it up without
one more appeal"
The platforms we're crowded, and he threw
down his hat and began his appeal In
three minutes the passengers had thrown
about S12 in cash, and when the train moved
on the conductor slipped him into the bag
gage-car as a deadhead.

swampy marsh, and just beyond it the swamp
became bay, and at high tide was fully
overlooked. The garden has been the work
of the past twenty-five years, and the very
much larger portion of it since 1870. 1t is
a lovely spot indeed, with its profusion of
flowers and trees and its winding artificial
lake in the center. On this little lake the
children find rare sport with the
goose and row boats, the former being
propelled by little paddle. The scene both
in tie public garden and ON the Common on
that Saturday was positively enchanting. The
electric lights, the flowers, the grass, the
statues, trees and fountains, and the thou
sands of people seeking recreation at the

A Conductors Liability.

The liability of a rairca conductor for ac-
cidents due TO his own negligence, from which
he may suffer personal damage, has just been
decided in the United States court for the
northern district of Georgia. Conductor Dean
was killed on the air line train year or so ago
He was coming toward Atlanta, and neglected
t. op at one Of the stations but slowed up
and allowed the passengers to get off. He then
went on. 1t CHANGED that the agent had orders
for him to stop, but the conductor did not re-
ceivc them. He went On the next station.
just as he was going into the siding, the fast
mail, dashing along crashed into the cab kill
ing him and Others. Judge Mccoy charged
that the schedule which was in evidence
showed that Dean should have stopped three
minutes at tie place where he failed to stop,
that his failure to stop was neg igence, and that
if he was negligent he could not recover.
