Wants His pronertx

ROCHESTER, n. Y, June 29.-Mrs VIM.
Smith of 10 Dean street, this city, who SAYS
she is a sister of John Mccullough the actor,
states that when he came to this country a
mere lad he became separated from his fam
lily when they arrived at Castle Garden, New
York. He was cared for by woman who
not being able to find his guardian took him
to Philadelphia where when very young he
found his way on the stage. Mccullough
was not discovered by his relatives until
comparatively recent time when Mrs. Smith
his only sister found he had become famous
and Immediately wrote to him inquiring
about his former life, but says she has grea-
son to believe that all her letters were inter
cepted as she never received a reply to any
of them. Through friends who had a con
yersation with Mccullough and questioned
him in regard to his former life, She found
out that there were no reasons for doubling
that Mccullough was her brother She also
says that man who has been with McCul-
Tough on the stage has borrowed a great deal
of money from him. not long ago borrowing
$4,000, and that he is attempting to prove
that Mccullough has no relatives for the pur-
pose of coming into possession of McCul-
lough's money. 1t has been stated lately
that Mccullough hasIa wife and two sons, one
80 and the other "a years of age but this
statement Mrs. Smith declares is entirely
false as Mccullough was never married.

WHOLESALE JUSTICE.
The Method Of Dealing With Outlaws
In Indian Tarpitorv

GAINESVILLE, Tex, June 29.-That portion
of the southern section of Indian Territory
known as Delaware Bend has suddenly leap
ed into notoriety as the scene of wholesale
lynchings on grand scale. 1t has become
the rendezvous for the worst gang of outlaws
that ever existed. Their depredations on
live stock and other property of the people
OF Northwest Texas have so exaSperated the
people that they have taken the law and a
plentiful supply of rope into their own
hands and have declared war of extermina-
tion against the outlaws. Today five more
lynchingS are reported in addition to the re-
cent report that fifteen men had been hanged
in two weeks. Efforts to substantiate the
last mentioned report resulted in the posi-
tive proof of the hanging a week ago, near
Healdtown, Of Frank Morgan, Bill Williams
and boy named Moore. All three were
strung up ON one limb. Some of the posse
climbed upon the limbs and pressed down
with their feet upon the shoulders of the
criminals in order that they might die quick
er. After the men were dead they were all
cut down and buried together. The posse
then started on man hunt to Wachita, and
reports have come back to the effect that they
captured and lynched nine more, thus max
ing total of twelve.
The noted detective, Jack Duncan, at the
head Of squad of well armed men, has gone
to Indian Territory in search of the outlaws,
Jim and Hank Lee. He carries with him
three well trained blood hounds which he
will use when the trail is struck. 1t is learn
ed that three other squads are also in the
field on the same errand. Ever since the
murder of the Rolf boys there has been re-
ward of $4,000 offered for the men, but this
is the first effort made to effect their capture.
The Lee boys have long been terrors to the
Delaware Bend people. In the past few
months they have been loafng around that
section stealing Unfortunately. They have
repeatedly announced that they would never
surrender, and interesting news may be ex-
pected when the detectives reach there.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Quarterly Meeting of the Board In
Augusta Yesterday.
Several important Measures Under
Consideration:

Especial to the Press.1
AUGUSTA, June 29.-The quarterly meet
ing of the State Board of Health was held at
the capitol this forenoon The following by
law was adopted:
No papers shall be published in the annual
reports of the Board except such as are order
ed and approved for purposes of such publi-
cation by a majority of the members OF the
Board and any paper so ordered and approx.
ed shall be published under the signature of
the writer, who is entitled to the credit of its
production, as well as responsible for the
statements of facts and opinions expressed
therein
Arrangements were made for the prepara-
ton and distribution of circulars on typhoid
fever, scarlet fever, and diphtheria, diseases
which are very common and fatal, but which,
to large extent, are preventable by atten-
ti0n to hygienic measures. The circulars are
designed to instruct the people as to the best
means of avoiding these maladies.
The Board has prepared and will soon
issue circular to physicians, requesting
answers concerning the prevalence, past and
present, of certain diseases, the Circumstance
es favoring the development of these diseases
in each locality, and other facts Of similar
nature. One physician in each town is to be
invited to act as regular correspondent of the
Board; and, if there is anything approach
ing general compliance with the requests
contained in the circular, the Board will soon
be in possession of collection of data which
will be of the greatest value to the health in
terests of the State.
A circular devoted to the consideration of
the earth-closet is nearly ready for the
printer.
The committee appointed to examine the
various textbooks on physiology and hygiene
has nearly completed its work. and will re-
port through the newspapers very soon.
A vote of thanks was passed to the press
of the State, which has displayed a most
gratifying interest in the work of the Board,
and has rendered very valuable assistance in
disseminating sanitary information among
the people, by publishing the circular on
houses. The Beard appreciates very highly
the aid which the cause of public health has
received in this way, and believes that by no
other means can the public be SO thoroughly
and readily reached as through the columns
of the newspapers.
The requests for advice on sanitary sub
jects, which the secretary is constantly re-
ceiying, are clear indication that the peo-
pie of Maine are becoming aroused to the
necessity of attention to the public health
and the Board will do all in its power to
satisfy every reasonable demand.

THE INDIANS.
BIoods and Piegans Starting out to
Fight Crows and cros ventres,

FORT KEoGH, Mont, June 2S-Word has
just been received here that war party of
Blood Indians, numbering between 200 and
300 bucks, have left their reservation in
Northern Montana and are travelling south
to join the South Piegans for the purpose Of
making war on the Crows and Gros Ven
tres. These Indians are probably the same
ones who have been raiding ranchmen on
the. upper Mississippi during the present
spring, and on one or two occasions have
come into contact with the COWBOYS, when
the Indians were generally routed and some
Of them killed. Last year the Bloods and
Piegans made continuous 4 raids on the
Crows, capturing from the Crows about 8, 600
horses during the season. The enmity be-
tween the Piegans and Crows is of long
standing, but in the mutual raids peaceable
white ranchmen living along the route trav-
eled generally suffer more than either tribe.
DURANGO, Col, June est is rumored
that the Indians who accompanied Agent
Steiner to the Dolores valley to investigate
the recent outrages, were fired upon by the
cowboys, and that as many as ten or twelve
Indians have been killed. The stampede
of settlers from the Dolores and Mancos val
leys still continues. Two families arrived
yesterday. Others are ON the road.

GEN. LOGAN.
He Meets with a Warm Reception
in Boston.


BosToN, June 29.-Gen. and Mrs. Logan
arrived in this city from Portland this after
noon. Many enthusiastic veterans were at
the Boston & Maine depot and as the distin-
guished guest stepped from the car many of
them rushed forward and grasped him by
the hand, even before! the committee from
the Norfolk Club, whose guest he was this
evening, could greet him. After reaching
the carriage the party was driven at once to
the Parker House. Here another large
crowd was in attendance. The guests en-
tered through the ladies entrance, and went
at once 4; to the parlor. The president, Judge
Asa French, welcomed them in the name Of
the club. After an informal chat the guests
took lunch, and then went to their rooms to
get a little rest before the evening reception
large number of gentlemen, represent
ing the bar and bench, pulpit and platform.
counting room and council chamber, were in
attendance at the reception given tonight by
the Norfolk Club, in honor of Gen. Logan,
at the Parker House. Gen. Logan was en-
Enthusiastically cheered when he appeared,
and Mrs. Logan was also very cordially re-
celved. Among the distinguished gentlemen
present were Hon. Asa French Gov. Robin
son, Lieut.. Gov. Ames, Hon. A. E. Pf1lsbury.
President of the Senate, Speaker Bracket
OF the House, congressman Long and Ely,
Senator Hoar, ex-Goy. Bourne of Rhode ISL
and, Henry Cabot Lodge, Hon, Henry B.
Pierce, Oakes A. Ames, Hon. r. r. Bishop
and Col. E. N. Haskell. Gov. Robinson
made the opening speech, after which Gen.
Logan was INTRODUCED being treated to an
ovation as he arose to speak Speaking of
reforms" Gen. Logan said: "In my opin-
ion a reform which viii guarantee personal
rights will be of more advantage to the
country than the transferring of the funds
OF the government from sub-treasuries of
the United States to the banks" OF civil
service reform he said; SIT is child of the
Republican party, but unfortunately has
been put out to nurse with a stranger, ond if
not dead now it looks sick unto death" The
law is now being construed to the effect that
a person who voted the Republican ticket at
the last election committed crime against
the peace and dignity" Of the Democratic
party, new offence, heretofore unknown
to law or politics, to wit: "Offensive parti-
sanship" The offensive partisan" is Re-
publican, the effective partisan" is a Demo-
crat, and he is to be appointed as reward
for his political zeal. His appointment will
not improve the public service l fancy, but
it is made for partisan reason only. The
Democrats have been diligently searching
for ''rascals" with a view Of turning them
out, as they should have been had they been
found but every time they have searched
for rascal they have found only an ''of-
fensive partisan" and have instantly turned
him out In conclusion, Gen. Logan ex-
pressed his confidence in the successful fu-
ture of the Republican party.
After Gen. Logan had concluded, speeches
were made by ex-Gov. Long, ex-Collector
Beard, Senator Hoar, ex-G0v. Bourne and
Henry Cabot Lodge

LONDON. June 29.-It is reported from Ca
bul that lisa Khan, supported by Russian al
lies, has risen against Abdullah Khan. lisa
Khan has marched upon Khana-i-Bad and
seized the treasure there, which is valued at
a million pounds sterling, and belongs to the
Ameer of Afghanistan.
NEW YORK, June pa despatch reeeiy-
ed from Teheran says that the rebel leader,
1Sa Khan, la sympathiZer with the deposed
Ameer, Ay0ub Khan, at the head of large
number OF followers, has crossed the Al
CHAN border from Turkestan, and captured
the fcity of Khana-i-Bad, after desperate
and sanguinary struggle. This rebels looted
the place and secured among other plunder,
FL 100000 belonging to the Ameer.
This raid has caused intense excitement
throughout Afghanistan. The Afghans
openly accuse the Russians of having con-
spired with the brigands in planning the
raid, and reprisals are threatened. 1t is
feared that complications of q much more
serious nature than has yet arisen will grow
out of the outrage.
The news has caused great excitement in
London. The foreign Office has telegraphed
to Lord Dufferin for the fullest information
with regard to the affair, and should it be
proven that Russian officials are in any way
implicated vigorous remonstrance will be
made at once through the British Ambassa-
dor at st. Petersburg.
BOMBAY, June 29.-Abdullah Khan is gov
ernor of KanduZe, the extreme northern pro-
vince of Afghan. Toorkistan, a town of
khana-i-Bad, is situated about sixty miles
south of the river OXus, which river sepa-
rates it from the Russian protected state of
BOkhara. Khana-i-Bad was the headquar-
ters of the present Ameer before he was
summoned to the throne and there also took
place the negotiations between the Ameer
and British officers.
