The PineviIle Desperate.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May ia gentleman who
Wednesday reports that Andrew j. Johnson and
ten or fifteen of his friends were still in posses
sion of Pineville parading the Streets armed
with Winchester rifles, and that no arrests had
yet been made. A plan for the capture of John
SON had been laid, and it was thought it would
be put into execution on Tuesday night. Hask-
ms, Napier and the little child, victims Of John
sons murderous hate were buried Tuesday
morning. A reign of terror exists in the village,
and more bloodshed may be expected in that
quarter. Hon John Dishman, the oldest lawyer
In the mountains, has been retained TO prosecute
johnson, and unless the outlaw is killed in the
effort to arrest him there is little need to fear
that summary justice will be melted out to him.
The authorities have appealed to Governor Knott
for military aid.

The knights of Honor.

ST. Louis, May 15.-The Supreme Lodge,
Knights of Honor, continued in session to-day,
and after some routine work consideration of
the report of the committee on appeals and
grievances was resumed The most important
question of the day, and probably the most vital
subject of the session, the enactment of law
giving the Supreme Lodge original jurisdiction
in the trial of offenses against the order was
brought up and occupied the attention of the
lodge all day The proposed law provides for the
trial of members of the order for any violation of
their obligations of the laws rules and regu-
lations Of the order for neglect of duty immoral
conduct other offense against the order, and
original jurisdiction is vested in the supreme
lodge to try and determine the
same Judge Frizzel, of Tennessee Of
fered amendment that law shoull
apply to members of the Supreme Lodge, the
grand and subordinate lodges as such, and not
to individual members of subordinate lodges.
The debate on these resolutions and amendments
continued all day The primary object of this
law is to prevent recurrence of the Breckin
ridge trouble.

retary of the Treasury has been In office now
nearly three months and instead of reducing the
surplus by the payment of the public debt he finds
himself compelled to explain why he has not yet
issued single bond call. This explanation is
easily made The effect Of the tariff bin OF 1883
is just becoming appreciable. The Democratic
papers said that bill was simply measure of
buncombe; that it would not decrease the reve-
nue. at ALL and that its combined effect upon the
receipts from excise and customs collections
would be TO increase rather than to diminish
them The returns for the fiscal year 1885,
thus far. show falling off Of $54 000 900 from q
like period during the fiscal year 1888 The re-
ductlon is, OF course due in a measure to the de.
creased demand for foreign goods, and the
decreased consumption of spirituous liquors. But
the figures show the wisdom Of the stand taken
by Senators Morrill,, Sherman and others on the
Republican side of the Senate, backed by Kas-
con, Kelley, Russell and other sound Republic
ans in the House.

A Chicago Man Held to Bail for Presenting
an Obscene Book to Young Girl.

CHICAGO, May ia new incident in the his
tory of roller-skating Kinks was developed before
Justice Meach to-day, and it resulted in Charles
Primrose, Tribune pressman being required to
furnish 81, 900 bail until further hearing of Che
case could be given. The plaintiff in the case
was very angry father, and the principal wit
ness was his beautiful sixteen year old daughter.
They are highly respected residents of
Calumet avenue. The father charged Prim-
rose with circulating obscene literature, and
with having personally presented his daughter
with book Of the vilest description The
daughter testified that her acquaintance with
Primrose commenced several months ago at a
popular skating rink and had continued ND to a
few evenings ago, when, being together at a
rink, he asked permission to loan her very in
teresting book The arrest was made by one of
Pinkerton's men, and some excitement has been
occasioned by the announcement that detectives
are keeping close watch on number of young
men, frequenters of skating rinks whom they
suspect of perpetrating the same offense on ac-
count of which Primrose has come to grief

ANOTHER CASE OF BRUTALITY.
Girl Dying from the Horrible Abuse of Her
Adopted Mother.

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 15.-Emma Belmont,
an eght-year-old child, taken by Elizabeth Hen
bricks, of this city, in January last from the
Union Home for Destitute Children, in Phila-
delphia, is in dying condition from abuse il
fiicted upon her by that woman The neighbors
for some time have known that Mrs Hendricks
was in the habit of frequently whipping the
child, but there had been no interference, as it
was not imagined that the matter was so serious
This morning it came out that Monday
night. as punishment for inability to learn a
lesson, the child had been tied to door-knob in
position unable to either kneei or sit, and had
been kept there all night. Tuesday morning
Mrs Hendricks released the girl, but fogged
her severely with stick of wood and a
heavy horsewhip, upon the head, body and
limbs. Afterwards she heated poker red-hot
and scared the child's abdomen with it. Then
she covered the burn with mustard plaster.
Complaint was made and the chief of police
visited the house. He found the child in a dark
garrett loft covered with rags. Her body pre-.
scented horrible appearance Mrs. Hendricks
declared that the jelly-hke condition of the
childs head came from her pounding it against
the door while struggling to free herself Monday
night. The other wounds upon the child the
woman admitted having inflicted She was ar
rested, and the child was taken to the City Hos
pital, where the doctors say it cannot live.
The ante mortem statement of the girl was
taken by Prosecutor Rice. She asserts she was
beaten while tied to the door. first with stick
and lastly with broom handle. Mrs Hendricks
formerly lived in Philadelphia. The girl was q
smart child, we'll advanced in studies, and in
clined to be hayward.

people with more money than mind have pur-
chased bonds, and after hiding them away III
some obscure place, have forgotten all about the
transaction. In these cases the government is
just that much tho richer 1t is not the policy
of the government to notify people that certain
moneys are held at the Treasury to their credit.
If one presents claim and establishes his right
to it the amount will be paid, but if he waits for
the government to notify him the chances are a
thousand to one that he will never get it. The
half-dozen clerks in the Treasury Department
who have the handling of these matters could
easily grow rich by selling their information to
the people who are thus defr iuded by the gov
eminent for small per centage Of the gross
amount. That they do not do so is an act that
rebounds to their everlasting credit for in every
case they are small salaried men to whom few
thousand dollars would be princely fortune.

lawsuit AfreotIng valuahle Mining prorert,

YANKToN, Oak, May 15.-The case in which
the Sitting Bull Mining Company is the appel
liant and the Richmond Mining Company is the
respondent, is now before the Supreme Court,
and is attracting much attention here The case
involves valuable mineral lands in the Black
Hills, worth probably So, 000 000 and is most ably
advocated on both sides In 1877 the corpora.
ton known as the Sitting Bull Mining Company
discovered a vein of rich ore located on claim,
and followed the find. The Richmond Company
struck a lead about the same time. and likewise
followed the vein. After tunneling $40 feet, the
Sitting Bull Company intercepted the Richmond
tunnel The Richmond Company procured a
temporary injunction restraining the Sitting
Bull Company from proceeding further The
case was tried before Judge Church and decided
in favor of the Richmond Company. Fifty-six
days were consumed in the trial, and the defend
ants in the action expended thousands of dollars
in procuring maps and cuts of the two tunnels
and adjacent claims. The law of apex was the
principal point involved. The Sitting Bull Com.
pany appealed from the decision. 1t is said that
under Judge Church's opinion, the claims are
not secured by United States patent The de-
cision OF the Supreme Court is awaited with
much anxiety by the mining operators of this
territory.

Convicts Released by a Mob.

ST. LOUIS, May l5--An Austin, Tex, special

Governor Ireland received a telegram from
Tertiary, giving information of the most daring
and successful outrage ever attempted in Texas.
Forty State convicts were employed on Clay's
Farm, in Brazos county. Last evening. when
work was stopped, great mob of armed men
surrounded the guards and prisoners and de-
nanded the release Of the latter. The guards
refused, whereupon fight ensued. in which the
convicts joined forces with the mob The con-
fliet was terrible one, and resulted in victory
fer the attacking party, who disappeared with
the convicts. There is no definte information
as to whether there were any killed or wounded
but it is reported that several men were fatally
wounded. The outrage is due to the hue and

THE CONTEST In ILLINOIS.
Mr.. Weaver Secures His Seat, Despite
the Opposition of Speaker Haines.
A Truce Declared Until Tuesday Senator
Ruger the Man ON Whom the Democrats
Rely-Hints of Corruption.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

| Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May ia truce has been
declared in the senatorial contest, and until
Tuesday next quiet will reign in the joint
session. After the exciting scene of last night
every one expected that the battle would be
waged this morning more vigorously than ever,
| and when the joint session met the hall and
| galleries were packed A call of the roll showed
all members present except Senator Ruger, who
last night astonished his Republican colleagues
by voting for Logan, and Representative Sittig.
The row was started when Mr.. Fuller presented
the credentials of Mr.. Weaver and demanded
that he be admitted. The Democrats opposed
this, claiming that the matter should come be-
fore the House, and not the joint session.. Mr..
Mason rose to a question of privilege, claiming
that the adjournment of the joint session yes
terday noon, until night. and then to this
morning, was for the purpose of DISTINGUISHING
the citizens of the Thirty fourth district, who had
sent Mr.. Weaver here and he demanded that he be
admitted The hour Of 10 o'clock had arrived,
and on point of order that, according to ad-
iournment the Senate should retire, President
Smith announced that it was the duty of the
Senate to retire to its chamber and begin its
regular duties. Inc SENATE CneceupOn retlTSu
An effort was then made by the Democrats in
the House to ballot which failed, on account eff
the Senate having retired Mr.. Linegar then
obtained the floor and talked against time, until
time for assembling of the joint session at II
o'clock. when the Senate was announced and the
joint session convened. The call of the roll
showed all members present, except Ruger and
Sittig. Mr.. Fuller then presented Mr.. Viewers
credentials and demanded that he be ad-
mitted, which the Speaker refused to
entertain. Mr. Fuller then announced his
motion, and viva voce vote was had and Fuller
declared the motion carried. The Secretary of
the Senate made minute of this, and Speaker
Haines, recognizing the right of the Secretary of
the Senate to call Mr. Weaver's name--as upon
this the attested proceedings could be taken to
the United States Senate--called for an armstice.
The steering committee had conference, and
the result was truce until next Tuesday A
call of the roll was then had for senators, with
no response and the joint session adjourned I'M
fore Tuesday.
The situation is a critical one. Senator Ruger
is the uncertain quantity. He is the man upon
whom the Democrats rely, and it is only by his
vote that they expect to defeat General Logan.
Next Tuesday will, in all probability, determine
whether he has been purchased. Sittig has not
put in an appearance, but it is believed he will
be in his seat when the crisis comes next week.
and that he will support Logan.

dissatisfaction with Presidents, and How 1t
Has Resulted in the Past.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON May I5.-sI am not at all sur
prised at the dissatisfaction of the Democracy
with President Cleveland said one of the oldest
officials in the government service to the Journal
correspondent to-day. 1T is forty-fve years
since first paid any attention to politics. he
continued, 'and have noticed that since 1910
every President, with one exception, has found
that the opposite party has gained control of the
Houee Of Representatives the year following the
first of his term. The exception is Lincoln, and
but for the war do not believe that his case
would have been an exception. IF you will take
the trouble to look into political history since
1868, ycu will find that Grant caused dissatlsfac
ton in 1869, and that in 1870 the
Democrats elected majority of members of the
lower House. Again in 1874, the first election
after Grants second Inauguration, the Repub-
licans were defeated. You, no doubt, have some
recollection of the fact that Hayes's Inaugural
tion was followed by a Democratic House in
1878 While in 1880 the Republicans again
gained control. only to be laid out by an adverse
majority of about seventy in 1852 Cleveland
takes his seat and finds the lower House in po-
harmony by any means"
'vThen you predict Republican victory as the
outcome year from next fall9p
'iMost assuredly do. The fiftieth Congress
will be Republican, and the Governor elected in
New York this fall will also be political op-
ponent to the President"
