a Mass Meeting of Citizens Of Logan County,
Ill, Request Orrin A. Carpenter to Leave
the County without Unnecessary Delay
LINCoN, Ill. March p.
Under the call for a mass-meeting of
lovers Of law and order at the Court
house here at two O'Clock yesterday, for
the purpose of expressing their views on
the subject of crime, and the recent trial
of 0. A. Carpenter, several hundred peo-
pie assembled and heard addresses by
a number of local speakers, and adopted
a series of resolutions bitterly denounc-
ing the farcical administration of justice
in Logan County.
Among others, the following was
adopted:
ResoIUed, That the members of the next
Legislature from this district are hereby
Instructed to use their best efforts to
secure such amendments to our criminal
code as will make the punishment OF
criminals possible.
Another resolution denOUncing Carpen-
ter in very bitter terms was adopted, con-
Guiding; "We dispassiOnately but firmly
demand of the said Carpenter that he leave
Logan County without unnecessary de-
lay"
The promoters of the meeting had it
well in hand and though the resolutions
have the smack of deep eaTncstncss and
determination the gathering was a most
orderly one. The saloons closed by
agreement from twelve to four O'Clock
and no riotous or disorderly conduct has
been manifested, and tonight the town
is as quiet as it was the night preceding
the finding of the body of Zura Burns
with her throat cut from ear to ear.
Carpenter has not yet returned.

Peace Murdered in Cold Blood by an Hi.
nOis Desperate.
WINCHESTER, Ill, March 27.
One of the most dastardly muir
ders that ever disgraced this coun-
ty was committed in the town
of Glasgow, six miles southwest of
this city, about p. m. yesterday. At
that hour the citizens of that little village
were Mortified at seeing Jim Coats, one of
their most estimable townsmen, shot down
and killed in cold blood by young des-
perado named Davis Wells, from Greene
County. The only cause assigned for the
killing is as follows:
Mr.. Coats is a constable of the pre-
cinctin which he resides, which embraces
the town of Glasgow. About week ago
Davis Wells, who is a young man about
twenty-five years old, and who is looked
upon as a hard citizen, came up from his
home in Greene County to Glasgow anC
undertook to run the town. His cOnduc;
was very unbecoming, and Coats arrested
and incarcerated him in the calaboOse.
This did not set well with Wells, and
since that time he has made some very
violent threats against Coats life.
To-day Wells met Coats in Glasgow and
began talking to him about the arrest
above referred to. They had not been
speaking long when Wells drew a large
revolver and shot Coats once in the left
side and then ran out of town swinging a
large revolver in either hand, since which
time he has not been seen. Coats died in
about twenty minutes after he was shot.
He was about twenty-eight years old and
one of Scott COunty's most cstimable
citizens. He was married and leaves
wife and one child.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar n q
Your correspondent had IA con-
rersation with Secretary Freling
huysen, before that gentleman left
his residence for the State
Department this morning, regarding the
transfer of Minister Sargent from Berlin
to st. Petersburg. The Secretary said
that the change would be an agreeable
one to Mr.. Sargent and that this was the
most important consideration i'm making
it. 1t was a promotion, st Petersburg
ranking higher than Berlin as mission
Will it not appear that the Govern
mcnt has decided to submit to BismaI ck's
dictatiOn in this matter2"
"NOt at all. | am not at liberty to
speak on this point, but you can say that
Mr.. Sargent's course has been entirely
approved by the President and the Depart
ment, and that the feelings of the German
Government in regard to Mr.. Sargent
have neither been considered nor consult
cd in this matter. If Mr.. Sargent had
desired to remain in Berlin the change
would not have been made"

successor is appointed his name will be
sent to the Senate without waiting to
hear from Germany. This Nation is not
in the habit of consulting foreign nations
regarding such matters"
"But Bismarck will claim the credit o.
driving Sargent out of Berlin"
d" If there is any credit in it, he is wei

WAsHINGToN. d. c., March y.
The nomination of Sargent to be
Minister to Russia was a total
surprise to most persons at the
Capitol yesterday. 1t was not
delivered to the Senate until after Secre-
tary Frclinghuysen had spent an hour or
more at the Capitol for the purpose, it is
conjectured, of preparing leading men,
bers of that body for its reception When
it was laid before the Senate in executive
session few questions were asked and
briefly answered to the effect that the
transfer, though not requested or even
suggested by Minister Sargent, would
doubtless be agreeable to him, and
would also undoubtedly be pro-
ductive of good results az a matter OF
National policy, although in what man
ner was not stated nor asked. The Senate,
therefore, accepting these assurances of
members of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, confirmed the nomination by
unanimous consent. There is good reas-
on for believing the action of the Senate
was based not only on belief that Sar-
gents transfer (Which in European esti-
HdGlOu Is ulpIOHdItC pTOHOJlOH) WOu.u
be agreeable to him and avert the pOssi-
bility of further unpleasantneSs arising
from personal hostilities, but also upon
the prevalent impression that the position
of the American Minister at the court of
Berlin will significantly, and for an in
definite time, be left vacant.
NOTIFIED.
Secretary Frelinghuysen sent the fol
lowing telegram to Minister Sargent last
evening:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Z. s. A, March 28.
SARGENT, Minister, Berlin-The Prcsi-
dent approves entirely your course in the
Lasker matter; you have done nothing
but obey the instructions of this Govern
ment therein. The President, thinking it
may be agreeable to you, to-day nom-
mated you as minister to St. Petersburg,
and your nomination, without reference
to any committee, was Immediately and
unanimously confirmed by the American
Senate. This action manifests the appr9-
citation of your worth, and does you the
honor of which any citizen may well be
proud.
