BELLICOSE KER.
He Dares Kellogg to "Knoek that Chip OF
His Shoulder"

His Shoulder"
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Mr. Ker, in his
testimony before the Springer Commit
tee, yesterday said it seemed that KEEL
Iogg had gone about newspaper Offices
and talked about him. He had been in
formed that he (KellOgg) had told certain
correspondents that he would or ought to
take a. shot gun and blow out his (ker's1
brains. Il want to say right here" said
witness, ''that if Kellogg wants that kind of
satisfaction, if he will let me know the
time and place, shall he there. If he
wants that kind of satisfaction he may have
it. My character has never been assailed."
Witness told him there was no use bother
ing with indictments in the Parker-SaliS
bury combinations; that he was going &c
arbitrate them. 81 said he couldn't do it
legally, and that was the end of it." Ker then
referred TO the proceedings of the Mitchell
grand jury, and said there was not the
scratch of pen to show that any record had
been kept; that other grand juries kept
records except the one which convened the
following June and which considered the
Kellogg case. whoever was responsible
for this OMISSION" Ker continued, sought
to be held accountable" Reference was
made to the indictment of Dorsey and Brady
by the Mitchell grand jury. In preparing
the indictment Ker said he included Kei-
logg's, name, but the jury omitted it. Mer-
rick insisted that the Kellogg case should be
brought before the grand jury. Bliss OPP
posed it, but finally the Attorney General
gave orders to proceed with the indictmen,
against kellogg, and witness went before
the grand jury and presentment was made.
Bliss was Indignant at the indictment being
found. He went to New York and said he
would not come back. He was induced,
however, to return. Ker continued: "Kel-
logg told Bliss he took the twenty thousand
dollars received from Price and used it fol
political purposes in Louisiana"

Had to PAY.

NATION. ILL, May 29.-Several years
ago Hickory Township, Coles County, voted
$40, 900 in bonds to aid the Tuseola, Charles.
ton & Vincennes Railroad, on the condition
that the road should be built to some point
within two miles of the geographical centre
of the township. Years passed and the
road had its charter changed so that il
could leave out Tuscola and Vincennes and
build to the northeast. Considerable grad
ing was done under the first management,
the head Of which was General Aver
of this city, who, becoming pressed,
made contract with the Supervisor
of Hickory to take the bonds and deliver
them to Aver. j. B. Brown, contractor,
sued Aver aud in some way got possession
of the bonds. He brought SUIT against tn
township. The Toledo, Cincinnati Il st.
Louis Railroad has in the meantime been
built over part of the old roadbed. Hickory
Township lost the suit and seeded from the
union, electing no township officers. The
principal and interest of the judgment
amount to $4,000 at present. A compro-
mise has been effected by which Hickory
Township agrees to pay two-thirds of this
amount. 1t will almost bankrupt the town.

IMBECILlTY.

John II. King, Of st. Lawrence, who
claims still to be legal county commits
sioner. even as crank is occasionally
found who claims to be president of tie
United States, made affidavit to the Board
of Commissioners in the recent desperate
effort of st. Lawrence for another county
seat racket that to the best of his KNOW
ledge and belief there were not to exceed
800 people in the following townships:
Ill, 112, 1865; 1870; III, ll2, ia. 49,
80. In the same affidavit he afirms that
seventy nine one hundredths of the voters
OF the following townships signed the st.
Lawrence petition 10 have the county seat

66 and 81; l09 lI3, Ia, 1l5, 1l6-6S; l09,
113, 115, 1869, and all of range 40 except
l16. Seventy mine one hundredths of all
but eight townships: yet Miller had 1880
sworn signatures to st. Iawrence's llG2,

knowledge and belief there We're not over
l400 voters in Hand COUNTY. Whatmonu-
mental burlesques of siirewd ones st.
Lawrence business men are. Still let us
be charitable The recent county-seat
fuss developed the fact that neither the
Miller or st. Lawrence people possessed
any idea as to the number of the popula-
ton of Hand county. According to the
assessors returns the population of the
| county is pressing close onto 10000, and
st. Lawrences ignorance of the .fact was
made manifest, for when the secured nine

SCARED BY INDIANS.

Huron Times: An Indian scare broke
The monotony of st. Lawrence Wednesday
morning. Eighty wagons Of Indians con-
tanning about $40 souls, came within sight
OF the village and as some of them were
armed the rumor that st. Lawrence was to
be numerically scalped, soon spread all
over the village. A noted divine OF the
place rushed to the telegraph office and
sent dispatch to Gen. Terry for troops;
that the town was at the mercy of hundreds
Of savages and that q massacre was immi-
nent. The general replied in hundred
word special, calming the fears OF the
people by saying that itwould be no use
to send the soldiers, as the Indians were
already on the ground the whole town
could be butchered before the troops
could be started. He gave it as his opin-
lon that the braves were just passing
through the town; but if they showed any
hostile designs to let him know Mt once.
