4 Monument to Mrs. surrnts.

A sensation has been created in Wash
ington by announcement by Brick Pomc-
roy that he will receive subscriptions for
the erection OF a monument to Mrs. Sur
rat, who was executed as a conspirator in
the assassination OF Lincoln. Pomeroy
claims that Mrs. Surrat was worse than
murdered; that she was an innocent Ro-
man Catholic woman without murder in
her heart. He points to the fact that all
the members OF the military commission
that condemned Mrs. Surrat to death are
dead, except Judge Holt; that he, residing
In a suburb OF Washington, is almost
crazed, and that the majority Of those
dead committed suicide-proof, he thinks,
that they saw'the injustice OF their verdict.

Cattle Being Driven North from tho Lone
Star State Stopped by Armed Parties.
The following telegram was received at
Washington by the commissioner OF agri-
culture:
DODGE CRY, Kan, July 9.-Hon. Nor
man j. Colman, Commissioners OF Agricul-
ture: Nearly $4,000 head OF cattle on the
drive from Texas to the Par Handle OF the
Texas and Colorado have been forcibly
stopped and prevented from passing over
the common trail for such cattle through
the Indian country, the Cherokee strip and
mo Mans Land" and are now stopped
there by an armed band in the pay OF a
rival cattle interest. These cattle COM
prise the herds OF J.. R. Blocker, OF 1000
head; Pugsley Bros. & Downing, 5000; J..
w. Driscoll, $4,000; H. s. Holly, 1000,
and John I. Lyttle, 5000, all citizens OF
Colorado, Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
These cattle were purchased for speedy de-
livery in Colorado and the Pan Handle,
and contracts for which are now expiring
or ave expired. All these catt,e are sound
and healthy and from a healthy district,
clear of disease. To further aid in stop
ping these cattle there criminal proceedings
have been instituted by a complaint sworn
to by an irresponsible party at the sug-
gestion OF this rival interest, and
we have been doing our best to
get a trial and nave the case disposed
OF. We are ~law-abiding citizens and start
ed our cattle north a full knowledge OF the
requirements OF the quarantine regulations
OF the several states and territories, espe-
cially OF the state OF Colorado, the only
state or territory having quarantine regu-
lations in which we proposed entering. and
were careful to govern ourselves SO that
we would not violat helaws OF that state.
The opposition is determined to prevent
and stop the progress Of all these herds,
or no law, and by force. Other herds

THE LATE MORMON DEMONSTRATION.


Design of the Followers of Brigham's IedcnS1
tngs in Half Wasting the National En-
bteni on the Fourth.
Boston dispatch: G.. c. Goodwin, editor
OF the Salt Lake Tribune, who has been In
this city for a few days, says that the dem
onstration OF the Fourth OF July in Salt
Lake City was designed and promoted by
the Mormon leaders, who saw in it a meaY
OF emphasizing the idea which is sedulousl!
cultivated by them that "the saints" are
martyrs. These leaders are Thoroughly
disloyal, he says, and lave ever been 50;
dlsloyalty to the general government OF tns
United States is the cornerstone OF MOI.
monism, and %polygamy is the cement tha'
holds the wall together. The Mormohs
will fight the United States government
only under the most urgent pressure; they
are awaiting developments because their
leaders know that armed contact with
the power Of the United States
means, finally, humiliation. A prop
able outcome is that there will be Q
schism in the church, by which the polyga-
mlsts will be put in the minority. Inns
disintegration will accomplish what tnay
enactment and enforcement Of law can
now do but imperfectly. But the Mormon
leaders hope that before this happens py
apparent abandoning OF polygamy
their territory will become o state, and by
their independent legislature polygamy )
will be made lawful for them beyond per
adventure. The only way to deal eiies
with the Mormons is by a commls'
sion, which shall take the place OF Their
present territorial legislature and in whose
composition the Mormons shall have n'of
With a few years OF vigorous WORE
by such a body q condition OF affairs thss
will guarantee future peace and proprlev
will be secured. The Mormons are heldln
jhe east in too favorable estimation lor
iwo reasons: First, they buy from S2,ooo,,
to $4,000, 600 worth OF goods hep
annually and are scrupulously careful "
their bills; second, on the railroads u

Died on the Scafold.

The execution OF Joseph Palmer (col.
ored) occurred at Cincinnati on the 10th.
Palmer's crime was the murder of William
H.. Kirk in his stable on the afternoon OF
December "a, 1888. TIL object OF the
crime was robbery. The execution was
private, in the Jail yard, the scaffold being
shielded from view by a stone wall and a
large awning. Promptly at 10 O'Clock the
condemned man was led to the scaffold,
where a short prayer was said by a priest.
Palmer said nothing. The deputy sheriffs
were so excited that they could scarcely
adjust the rope. At two minutes past 10
the drop fell, but Palmer was such a pow
crful man that his neck was not broken.
He writhed fearfully. and at the end OF
twenty-six minutes the sheriff announced
the execution over, but the body was not
down until some time later.

The storm on the 9th, says a Sparta
wis., dispatch, was very severe in this
vicinity, and it is feared that the full re-
ports from the surrounding country will
bring news of great damage and perhaps
death. The storm was frightful and its
fury was concentrated into hall an hours
time. The roof was blown from the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railway de-
pot and from several other buildings. The
steeple was blown from the Baptist church
and the belfry from the Catholic church.
Glass windows were blown in and chimneys
innumerable decapitated. At the Milwau-
kee and st. Paul depot fourteen cars were
blown from a side track onto the main
line, rendering the passage OF trains impos-
sible. A lumber OF cars were also blown
off the track at the Northwestern depot.
Reports from sections along the line show
that the storm extended, with greater or
less force, all the way to Milwaukee.
In the vicinity OF Oshkosh the storm was
terrific. Many houses were unroofed and
barns and fences demolished. St. Pauls
church and the exposition building were de-
stroyed by the storm. Piles OF lumber
were blown down and scattered in all direc-
tons. Many chimneys were blown over
and through roofs. Some streets were
blockaded by fallen trees and debris
dropped by the winds.
Monticello (Minn.) dispatch: A cyclone
passed north OF this place yesterday after
loon. The track Of the storm was about
miles distant. 1t was an ominous-
cloud and was watched by every
one in town. The cloud was funnel-shaped
and as it danced across the prairie, now
up dirt from the ground and again
some distance in the air, it created a
scene. A house between Big Lake
Becker was struck, and nothing was
eft to tell where it stood, pieces OF timber
Ind furniture being scattered along the
prairie. Some distance further on an old
table was picked up by the cloud and a
led away. A house standing lear by was

YelI0tc Fepey. Germs

DR.. Hamilton, of Washington, surgeon
general OF the marine hospital service, has
been advised OF what is regarded as a spor-
adic case OF yellow fever in New Orleans.
He does not think that this should cause
alarm, although evidence has been discov-
cred that it originated in Importation Of
lever germs. He thinks there can be no
doubt that yellow fever was imported in
Injected clothing or in some other way.
Tho case was effectually quarantined at
the earliest stage and it is not expected
that the fever will spread from it.

states that the disaffected Indians are be-
coming quiet, and that there is a favorable
outlook for a peaceful settlement OF the
Indian difficulties.
INSPECTOR ROBINSON has discovered a
shortage OF $500 in the accounts OF the
postmaster at Ord, Neb. The deficit was
made good, but the s~ureties demand the
removal OF the postmaster.
INSPECTOR ARMSTRONG succeeded in carry
ing out his instructions to open up the cat
tie trails through the Indian Territory. He
telegraphed Secretary Lamar that all the
differences between the drovers and ranch
men had been settled and that cattle from
Texas were now moving northward with
out obstruction.
THE deficit for the postofice department
for the quarter ended March 81 last is
S1,666, 900. During the corresponding
time last year the deficit amounted to
$685., 600. Thus it appears that the de-
felt for the March quarter OF the present
year is $3.50, 900 in excess OF the deficit
during the corresponding quarter OF 1884.
A CHANG has been made in the manner
Of purchasing silver by the treasury de-
partrlcnt for coinage into standard dol
lars. The offers for the sale of silver for
this purpose will hereafter be made to the
treasurer instead of to the director of the
mint, and after the 18th purchases will
made on Tuesday and Friday OF each
week, instead OF on Wednesday. The
change is stated to be for the purpose OF
allowing the director OF the mint to givehis
undivided attention to the business OF the

Man.
Milwaukee dispatch: Harry c. Stewart,
nlias II. 8. Cummings, alias II. S. Dale, who
was arrested in this city yesterday, is be-
lieved to be a noted forger and confidence
man. Stewart for some time past has
made his headquarters at the Kirby house
in this city, and it is said has systematic
cally swindled persons in Wisconsin, Hi
nois, Iowa and Michigan, through the me-
dunn OF advertisements in Chicago papers.
His plan was to advertise for bookkeeper,
cashier, ETC., and on various pretenses
secure n remittance OF So or $40 from each
applicant. The extent Of his fraudulent
operations is unknown as yet, but they
are believed to be quite large. Checks
on the First National bank OF THU
city found on his person show him to
be a forger also. On being questioned
he said his right name was Harry c. Stew
art, but hat he had registered as II. S.
Cummings. On his person were also found
several private letters, memoranda, cards, |
ETC., all bearing the name OF Harry G.
Stewart. The cards indicated him to be q
in wines, liquors and cigars at 157
Washington street, Chicago, and his
residence as 209 East Randolph street.
Among the papers vas a telegram, dated
Chicago, July 8, as follows:
H.. G. Stewart, Plankinton House, Mil
vaukee-Brother is dead; you will hear
rom me by mail. (Signed) EMMA.
The prisoner declined to say anything re-
his transactions, but sufficient
that he has been carrying on extern
swindling operations was found on his
person. The letters were from persons in
Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan.
The police are looking for his baggage. He
vil be held until his case is fully investi-
ated.
