A pesperado Killed.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 26. Intelligence
reached here this afternoon OF the killing
in Elliott county of Craig Toliver by
Asbury Crisp. The latter found Toliver,
who was drunk, sleeping with his head in
the lap Of his lCrisp's) paramour, and
without stopping to awaken the sleeping
man, he shot him, the bali penetrating
Toliver's left breast Just over the heart.
Crisp escaped, but friends of his victim
are securing the country and promise him
summary punishment if caught. 1t is
feared This killing will stir up another war
in Rowen county. Toliver was the noto-
rious desperate of Rowen county who led
the Toliyer faction in their bloody feud on
the Martin faction. The feud lasted for
years, during which time nearly twelve or
more men were killed. Outlawry became
80 fragrant that no court could sit in the
county, and Governor Knott, after vain
attempts to arbitrate matters, sent the
state militia into Rowen county to hunt
down and bring to Justice these despera-
does. After .wo months service there
the troops were recalled. Toliver and his
principal followers were arrested and
jailed. In the meantime Toliver was
taken to Cincinnati to answer an indict.
ment for robbery. He was tried and ne.
quilted, and a few months ago returned tC
his mountain home.

Brief and to the Point.

SAN Francisco, Dec. Ex-Governor
Stoneman to day received a dispatch from
Secretary Bayard from Washington, in
which the writer states hat his attention
being called by the Chinese minister to
the movements in different cities in this
state for the expulsion of the Chinese,
the minister suggests that it is preferable
to prevent violence, than to repress it af
terit may have arisen. In reply to Secre-
tary Bayard. Governor Stoneman tele-
graphed; There has not been a single
act of violence toward the Chinese in this
state, nor do | anticipate any trouble,
which cannot be controlled by local author
itiez. There is deep seated and unanimous
feeling on this coast against any further
immigration Of Chinese. Thousands Of
good citizens are unable to obtain a liveli-
hood owing to their presence. In con-
clusion he says; Referring to the sug-
g~estions of the Chinese minister to your
self, as to proper method of preserving
good order in this state | may say we are
capable of performing that duty without
gratuitous suggestions from that quarter. -

WASHINGTON. Dec. %. -Commissioner
Sparks of the general land Office has writ
ten a letter to a law firm in Kansas. in
which he discusses the contents of u circu-
lar purporting to have been issued by the
parties addressed. The commissioner
says the circular contains false and mis-
leading statements in regard to the rights
ofthe soldiers OF the late war to the public
lands, and allows the alleged authors of
the circular thirty days in which to make
a satisfactory explanation, failing in
which they will be debarred from prac-
ticing before the department. Among
the statements in the circular to which
the commissioner takes exception, are that
the government owes each soldier and sailor
a farm of l60 acres. This, says the com
missioner, is a statement that the soldiers
and sailors Of the late war are each en-
titled to i60 acres, which is not true. The
widows and orphans of deceased soldiers
and sailors can make entries and secure
l60 acres Of choice lands without resi-
dence. The commissioner considers this
assertion misleading.

Clarksyille, about two miles west of
Austin. Swine we're ~deyouring the body.
When discovered they had eaten all the
flesh from the bones, but the features
were recognizable. August Hugh caves,
the father, mysteriously died. A coro-
ner's jury declared that he had been poi
soned by some person or persons unknown
to them. About the time Of Eaves'
death Charles Courtney became n boarder
in the family, which comprised Mrs.
Eaves and two children-Dollie, aged II,
and Claude. The unnatural mother tried
to give the children away, pleading pow
erty. A couple of weeks ago she told
her neighbors that she had given Dollie
to a school teacher down the river. On
Monday night last Mrs. Eaves visited a
neighboring family and asked the priv
lege of spending the night. She said
she had also given Claude away to a
in Lampas, and that, Courtney
being absent, she was afraid to
in the house alone. The next
morning the woman departed for
saying that she had re-
,eived a telegram from Illinois, asking

An $4,000 Blaze in Newbury-

A Polish Riot.

DETROIT. Dec. pa serious outbreak
among the Polish parishioners occurred in
the front fist. Alburtus Catholic church
yesterday morning, which was finally
quelled by the police, one of the rioters
being shot dead. Fully 5000 persons
were in the mob, including women and
children. 1t was feared that more trouble
would ensue to-day, and 100 police were
dispatched to the scene. A large crowd
assembled in the front of St Alburtus
church, but were dispersed without doing
any damage.
LATER PARTICULARS
The members of St Alburtus Catholic
church began a riot about noon and are
hotly engaged with the police, a large
force of whom are present. Early this
morning the Polish Catholics of st. Al
burtus church gathered about that build
ing, but were dispersed without doing any
damage. Later in the morning the crowd
once more began to come together, and
by 10 o'clock fully 1000 people had gath
cred around the church. They were
quiet and orderly except when John Len
kie was to be seen, and then he was
booted and jeered. About IL O'Clock the
crowd started on e run for the grocery of
Thomas Zoltowski. Zoltowski has been
a leading spirit id opposition to Father
Kalasinski and the feeling against him
was very bitter. Three wagons of police
vera sent out to reinforce those already
on duty. The crowd reached the grocery
in advance of the police and found it bar
ricaded. Zoltowski appeared at the up
per window with a shot gun and fired
twice at the crowd to Brighten them away.
1t had a contrary effect, and the windows
were crushed in Immediately with bricks,
stones and frozen mud. The uproar was
deafening, and was only slightly abated
when the police arrived just be-
fore noon. A brick went through
the hat of Sergt. Nolan when
he ordered a section of the crowd to dis
pense. A patrolman attempted to arrest
the man who threw the brick and was
Hoored with a snow shovel. The crowd
became massed at this point and it was
only after hard fight that the police ex-
tricated themselves and three prisoners
they had captured. Three Others were
arrested later. The police seem unable to
dlsperse the crowd which exhibits a spirit
OF defiance and answer all orders with
leers and shouts.
Word was received at 2 clock that
the crowd had not yet been driven away.
