M urder In Leadvllls.

Special TO the Denver Tribune Republican.
LEADvILLE, Colorado. August "a -
Another atrocious murder was added TO Lead
ville's list Of crimes on Sunday about O'Clock,
when Henry R. Kirby, miner and ward poll
ticisn, killed Philip Nash, miner, by striking
him on the left side Of the neck with an axe,
nearly severipg the head from the body.
Death was almost instantaneous. The muir
derer fed, but he came into the city this
morning and gave himself up. The details OF
the tragedy fare as follows: Kirby was the
foreman OF a gang OF men who were working
a lease on the Fortuna tunnel and Nash was
interested in a lease on the fusion on the
same claim.
The two men have been quarrclng for =
long time, both in regard TO their claims and
other matters. Nash claimed that Kirby WAS
enroaching upon his ground, and he wanted
TO go into the Fortuna tunnel on Sunday
morning to make measurements. He had
candle in one hand and tape line In the
other. Kirby, who was on the surface and
near the mouth OF the tunnel, saw Nash and
told him not to go into the tunnel. Nash an
swered that he was going in. At the time he
was accompanied by P. 8. Fulsome, hal part
ner in the lease on the huston.
Fulsome says that the dialogue in substance
above given was all that he heard between the
men before Nash started into the tunnel As
they entered Its mouth Kirby dashed by them,
and seizing an sx that stood in the tunnel he
dealt Nash the blow which caused his death.
As Nash fell Fulsomc says he remarked TO
Kirby: "You have killed him." but Kirby
jumped over the PROSTATE man without say.
ing word and went to his cabin, corrying the
Ak with him. In the cabin he secured large
knife, and with the Ak and the knife he left for
the woods, from which he emerged A above
stat ed and gave himself up.
Both Nash and Kirby arc well known In
Leadville. They are both hard citizens, Kirby
having been indicted as a ballot-box ttufYer.
Nash has been terror to the miners for
long time. He has ordered many men OF the
hills and he enforces his orders with an ever
ready rife or revolver
Some time ago Kirby secured permission to
carry a revolver bt cause OF the threats which
Nash had made against him. Kirby says he ia
sorry for the killing but that he had to do II
to save himself. This afternoon the Coroner
held secret inquest on the remains Of Nash,
and the jury decided that the killing was fc-
lonious Kirby will doubtless have an exam
nation in a few days, and he will endeavor to
make out case Of self-dcfense.

IN A HAYTIAN PRISON.
An American Citizen Kept in . Loath-
some Dun geon over . Year.


A Philadelphia dispatch says: Mr.. c.
A. Van Boukelen, Of New York, Ex-United
States Consul General at Port au Prince, ar
rived in this city to-day as passenger on the
American steamer Hay tien Republic, from Port
au Prince. He tells q remarkable story Of out
rageous treatment at the hands OF the Haytien
Government while acting as Consul General.
Mr.. Van Boukelen married Hsytien woman,
and at the end Of his term Of office he took up
the business Of dealing in the paper money OF
the native Government. At thishe made con-
siderable money, and then he desired TO invest
q part Of his gains In real estate, but this was
forbidden by u law Of Hsyti, which denies that
right to any but native-born citizen.
He evaded the law, however, and purchased
piece Of property in Port au Prince, which
transaction reaching the ears Of President
Solomon, the Chief Magistrate OF the Repub
lie, he caufed Van Boukelcn's arrest and
had him locked up in 4 wretched dun
geon in the Government prison at Port
au Prince. Here his only conpan-
ions were negroes OF the most debased
type, many Of them being murderers and des-
peradoes, and very often the prison, which is
q small and wretched structure, built on low,
swsmpy ground was crowded with nearly 800
prisoners, Mr.. Van Boukelen being the only
white man among them.
His dungeon WAS = narrow stone cell which
measured eight feet by four. and the walls
were constantly dripping with water. There
the unfortunate .r-Consul was forced to stay
from March. 1854, uutn June q, 1855. The
place being infested with rats and loathsome
vernin; his health, which was robust when he
was first imprisoned is now entirely broken
lowp, and he has become 3 victim OF both
consumption and chronic catarrh, while his
face Is pale and hsggard, and gives every evi-
dcnce Of long suffering. Mr.. Van Boukelen
says no attention was paid by President Solo
mon to the letters from Secretary frelinghuy-
sen, and he was not rle1ed until Secretary
Bayard wrote to the Haytien President de-
mandipg his instant release, stating at the
s anne time that II he WAS not released United
States man-ofwar wonld be dispatched to
Port au Prince with instructions TO adopt Sc
we're measures II Necessary. The truth of the
story Is vouched for by the Captain and Purser
OF the steamer.

Mrs. Anderson, the wife of the Pres

Mrs, Anderson, the wife of the Pres
byterian minister at Ell Dorado, Kansas, was
accidentally thrown under a moving freight
train at that pla ,e, and her head was severed
from her body.
The President has decided to reap
point Mr.. Julius Stahel as Consul General to
Shanghai, China. Mr.. Stahel is now in Wash
ington on q leave Of absence. He has served
in the Consular service in China for ten or
twelve years.

DIR. H. P. Lynch, of Sturgis, Dakota,
who testified before the Grand Jury against
Corporal Ross Hollis Of the Twenty-ffth In

shot dead by Hollis. Hollis was arrested and

Leonard Gardner was arrested at
Springfield, Illinois, for wife beating. After
securing bail he armed himself and hunted for
the officers who arrested him. When they
met he killed Officer Camp, and was killed in
return by Officer Gill, vino probably has two
fatal wounds.
A Chattanooga, Tennessee, dispatch
says John Jones and T. c. Kerkis, both young
men and the sons Of wealthy farmers, got into
q difficulty about a lady for whose hand they
were rivals. Blows followed words and Kerkis
drew knife and cut Jones' throat from ear to
ear. He then stabbed the wounded man seve-
raj times in the heart, killing him instantly.
An interesting point in connection
with the naturalization laws has Just been
settled by the Secretary OF the Interior in dis
posing OF the case Of Ross VS.. Poole. Ross
made q pre-emption fling while he was an
alien, supposing that the declaration OF the in
tention of his father, who had not been
naturslized, was sufficient to qualify him as 4
pre-emotor upon attaining his majority. Be
fore he discovered his error and fled again for
the tract, Poole made homestead entry upon
1t. The Secretary held that the removal Of
the disqualification came too late to invalidatc
the intervening rights Of Poole.

The Late Father Brazil of Iowa.

\ correspondent at Des Moines, Iowa,
says the Catholic church and the people
lost one OF the foremost men in the state
in the death OF j Ohm f. Brazil, late vicar
general of the state He was a native of
County Clare, Ireland, where he was born
in 1927. At eighteen years OF age he came
to America, entered Sulsician college, Mon
treal, whence he graduated. He was ordain-
ed to the priesthood at Wheeling Va He
cameto Des Mones i'll 1860. Here he has been
in charge Of St. Ambrose church ever since.
His work in the city has been immense. He
was a man OF noble presence, warm and gen
erous nature, and great ambition. His whole
purpose was to do good. Probably no man
in all the state CAN leave behind him such
arecord ofChrIstian labor as he. Not only in
the church, but everywhere and among all
people he sought to do good, and thus
he gained warm and true friends among
all classes. He was q firm friend OF the
poor, regardless Ofchurch or creed. Hewas
Il Jealous friend OF education, and in no
part OF the state are the people OF his church
provided with so,extensive educationaliacil-
titles as he has secured in the city Of his
adoption. He WAS a safe counselor, and
his advice was sought by the best men.
He was an earnest advocate Of good order,
temperance and obedience to law He was
a good citizen, and highly esteemed by ALL
Everybody with profoltnd veneration called
him Father Brazil" His funeral was
imposing, and attended by all classes Of
citizens. His pail bearers were leading
business men, and but one a member of his
church. He had gathered about him prop
erty valued at $3.50, 900, which he devised
Ito the church. A Life insurance risk for
several thousand dollarswas divided am ong
his relatives and a cottage hospital for the
public. The Immediate cause Of his dea tn
was cholera morbus, induced by eating
