MITCHELL'S REVENGE.
THE ARKANSAS SWAMP ANGEL KILLS
HIS MAN, AND TWO MORE.
Following Their Trail Through the Ccun-
try for Miles He at Last Overtakes
Them and wreaks His Vengeance
He Gives Himself Up.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 90 Martin Mitch
ell, more Familiarity known as the Swamp
Angel, of Blacklist, Ark, came to Memphis
late Thursday night, and Friday morning
he gave graphic account OF the manner in
which he ran down and killed his two enc
mics, Bryson and Cummings, and also ar
unknown man who was with them. Abou
two weeks ago Mitchell was shot twice by
Cummings and Bryson while in
canoe fishing with two gentlems
from this city. Mitchell laid h
plans for vengeance, and on las
Wednesday week got on the trail of his enc
mics. He secuted around Crowley Ridge
and tracked his men to Nettleton, out on the
Kansas City road. At Nettleton he heard
they had gone to the marked tree. By per-
sistent trailing he found that at Winning
ham, on the St Francis river, Bryson joined
Cummings, and was told that they were 60
ing down the river in boat and were pro.
vided with camping outfit
Acting on this information Mitchell went
to place seventy-five miles below the point
he heard the enemy would embark from.
He was-armed with thirty-two Winchester
rifle, and was accompanied by Willie Leve-
syne, son of the sheriff Of Cross county,
Ark. For several days he beat around the
bush, but failed to come across his men.
On last Tuesday he concluded TO go
back to the ridge, and was going
through Holcum's field when he heard
Levesyne whistle twice. He ran
back, and when near the river was
| startled by seeing Cummings, Bryson and
an unknown man in dug-out near the
bank of the river Cummings was just in
the act of drawing bead on Mitchell, and
the latter made for tree, which he reached
in safety. The friendly shelter of small
bush allowed him to reconnoiter. He drew
ON Cummins and the two guns exploded
just about the same TIME. The ball from
Cummings gun barked the tree and split the
shirt-sleeve of Mitchell, whose aim was more
accurate, as Cummings toppled over and
disappeared in the water.
Bryson was next attended to, and he, also
went in the river after couple of shots had
been exchanged. The unknown mar
plugged away with pistol, and in return
| was hit six times in the breast, killing him
of course Mitchell and his companion Their
mounted their horses, and notified the sheriff
Of the occurrence. Mitchell is ready anG
willing to stand trial He is a pleasant
looking individual, with reso
Lutte expression. He converses well
and is totally unlike the terror o.
the woods he is supposed to be. The sheriff
of St Francis county, Arkansas, was il
Memphis and Mitchell reported t.
him. but the sheriff says be knows nothing
of the killing. Mitchell will remain her,
until the sheriff returns home and investi
gates the alleged triple killing.
Mitchell has killed several men over ir
the swamps, but it is said by those wh(
know him that he was never the aggresso
in any Of the difficulties in which lie ha
been engaged.

A prominent treasury official in comment
ing upon the policy OF the present admins
tration in reference TO the silver coinage,
said: "It is absurd to claim that Mr.. Cleve'
lands demonstration against silver il use
less. The fact that Republican admins
tration opposed silver tended to strengthen
it in the south. The opposition of a Dem
ocratic administration, however, com.
mands attention in that locality.
Southern men are studying the silver quss-
ton for thu first time. Southern senators
AMI congressman are devoting attention to
the subject, and are comforting with the
president and Secretary Manning. The sill
yer question is being canvassei in earnest,
and the continued efforts of the admins
tration will enlist the influence Of the solid
south in the crusade against coinage"

AMMONIA In BAKING Powders !.


SclentlnC AmerlChns
Among the recent discoveries in science
and chemistry, none is more important
than the uses TO which common ammonia
can be properly put as lcavening agent,
and which indicate that this familiar salt
is hereafter to perform an active part in
the preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an exs
ceedingly volatile substance Place a
small portion of it upon knife and hold
over a flame, and it will almost imme-
diately be entirely developed into gas and
pass off into the air. The gas thus formed
is simple composition of nitrogen ana
hydrogen. No residue is left from the
ammonia. This gives it its superiority as
leavening power over soda and cream
of tartar used alone, and has induced us
use as a supplement to there articles. A
small ouanitv of ammonia in the dough
is effective in producing bread that will
be lighter, sweeter, and more wholesome
than that risen by any other leavening
agent, When it is acted upon by the heat
of baking the leaveniug gas that raises the
dough is liberated. In this act it uses it
self up, as it were; the ammonia is entire>
ly diffnsed, leaving no trace or residuum
whatever. The light, fluffy, flaky ap-
pearance, so desirable in biscuits, etc,
and so sought after by professional cooks,
is said to be impaired to them only by
the use of this agent.
The bakers. and baking powder manu-
facturers producing the finest goods have
been quick to avail themselves of this
useful discovery. and the handsomest and
best bread and cake are now largely riser
by the aid of ammonia, combined o.
course with other leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known pro
ducts of the laboratory. If, as seems tt
be justly claimed for it, the application
of its properties to the purposes OF cook
ing results in giving us lighter and mort
wholesome bread, biscuit, and cake, i
will prove boon TO dyspeptie humanity
and will speedily force itself into genera
use in the new field to which science ha'
assigned it.

There is noted -philanthropist in town
who has for years had a sad leaning toward
the bottle. He is not one of those who do
not know when they are likely TO go off on
the spree He makes up his mind concludes
all his arrangements, has his spree, sobers up
and is himself again. Nor is his spree one of
those lively ones in which he interests the
public AMI the police He is quiet and re-
tired and, indeed, he disappears from pub
lie gaze until he has satiated the desire for
alcoholic rest.
TO this end he had once an arrangement
with certain saloonkeeper that, in consid-
GRAFTON of his enormous custom, he should
be honestly dealt with and well taken care
Of Under this arrangement he has many
blisSful hours. But once when he got sober
be thought his bill for whisky was rather
large. He paid, but on the next occasion be
was wise enough when bottle was opened
TO carefully conceal the cork in his pocket
1t was rather a protractei bout, and when
the dawn of sobriety broke and be looked at
his bill he found his suspicious were correct
touching the amount of it.
"This bill amt right haven't had all
this whisky
II swear it," solemnly said the saloon
keeper, raising beer glass toward heaven.

pocketful of corks and counted them and
knocked the saloonkeeper ont of time.

News from the wheat Fields.

ATCHIsoN, Kan, April 2z.-The state
board Of agriculture, in their March report,
estimated the wheat crop at 1000, 900 acres
in good condition. An average crop is from
100000 to 100000 bushels hence our
crop this year on that basis would be about
that amount, but since that time reports have
been received here which indicate that the
crop will not pan out as well as estimated,
and it is safe to say that the yield will not
be more than 10, 00O, 900 bushels
ST. PAUL, April a. The Omaha road has
received reports from over sixty stations on
its lines in Minnesota and Wisconsin con-
corning spring wheat and other grains.
From them it appears that spring wheat is
well along, although the season is at least a
week late. The reports indicate that not
withstanding war rumors there will not be
much increased acreage of wheat, many of
the farmers however, nearly doubling their
acreage in faxseei In Wisconsin AMI

ROSCOE AT THE FRONT.


We do not care to prophesy as to any
thing of republican nature 1t is to be
feared, however, that the cry of Wash
ington is that of Lady Constance in king
John over her lost boy, Il ne'er shall
see my pretty Arthur more"-that is, as
president. Still the old saying holds true,
sometimes, that the whirligig of time
brings strange reyenges. One strange re-
venge would be for the republicans to
put up Conkling as their candidate in the
next presidential election. Such nomi-
nation would bring about a political mir
acle. 1t would throw Blaine into the
democratic ranks. And yet republicans
might go much farther and far much
worse than entrustIng their fallen for
tunes to the strong, clean hands of Conk-
ling. That he was a politician and a
leader in politics is true. But he was
always man, and he had the heroism to
drop politics in disgust. He received his
lesson in the time to redeem his manhood.
He retired voluntarily to private life and
business practice. AS man he is to be
admired. As politician he advocated
some things not commendable-esp
ly third presidential term. But we be-
lieve he has no letters to burn in all his
political career If he cared to be he is
today the strongest man in the republi~
can party. Then, again, he is New
Yorker. These are only hints to our
friends the enemy.

New YORK, April 27.-The warm
weather of the last few days has encour-
aged retailers at the east TO make renewed
purchases. This they have been doing to q
moderate extent the buying being on small
orders. At the west, farmers generally
being busy with spring work, country deal
ers have less incentive to go into the mar

this view of the situation, although,
as is also noted, there has been a
better feeling in trade circles, based on the
improvement in the weather, and, it must be
confessed, on widespread notion that's war
abroad is inevitable and that it will stimu-
late business in the United States. There
is no better outlook in industrial lines The
volume of merchandise moving, as per cur
rent reports, continues about as last week.
Leading freight line officials announce that
the total weight of freight moved since
Jan. l, both east and west, is not as heavy

There were l9S failures in the United
States during the last week, as compared
with 1876 in the preceding week, and with

ALLEN o. MYERS AND LITTLeR.
Report ON the Conduct of Ohio Salons
The Senatorial Scandal.

Report ON the Conduct of Ohio Salons-
The Senatorial Scandal
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 27.-The legisla-
tive committee which has been engaged for
nearly month investigating the facts in re-
gard TO the conduct of Judge Littler and
Allen O. Myers on the floor Of the house,
made report Friday afternoon which is a
statement of fact as to what was developed
in the evidence. The report says Myers was
guilty Of conduct unbecoming member and
gentleman, and that Littler was
guilty of an assault, but offers
an apology that he was justified
to certain extent by the insults offered by
Myers. The whole affair is left in the hands
of the house, and was made a special order
for consideration next Wednesday. There
is a strong inclination among the members
to pass resolution for the expulsion of
Myers while Littler is booked for white
wash.
The sedate resolution to investigate the
senatorial bribery business has not been
adopted by the house. Amendments have
cen prepared. however, to extend tho in
quiry back to the Republican administra
ton when Garfield was elected senator
