"A De.perado KILLED.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 26.-Intelligence
reached here this evening of the killing in
Ellest county. of Craig Tolliver by Asbury
Crisp. Crisp found Toliiver, who was
drunk. sleeping with his head on the lap of
his (Crisp's) paramour, and without stop
ping to awaken the sleeping man he shot
him. the ball piercing ToIlivers left breast
just over the heart. Crisp escaped and is
at large, but friends Of his victim are
securing the country for him, and promise
him summary punishment if he is caught.
1t is feared this killing will stir up another
war in Rowan county. Tolliver was the
notorious deperado of Rowan county who
led the Tolliver faction in the bloody feud
on the Martin faction. The feud lasted for
over year, during which time half a
dozen or more men were killed. The out
lawry became so fragrant that no court
could sit in the county, and Gov.
Knox, after vain attempts to arbitrate mat
tiers, sent the militia into Rowan to hunt
down and bring to justice these desperadoes.
After two months service there the troops
were recalled. Tolliver and his principal
followers were arrested and jailed. In the
meantime Tolliver was taken to Cincinnati
to answer an Indictment of robbery. He
was tried and acquitted and few months
ago returned to his mountain home.

Can Care for Themselves.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-Gov. Stone
man to day received a dispatch from Sec
rotary Bayard from Washington, in which
the writer states that his attention has been
called by the Chinese minister to the move
ment in different cities in this state for the
expulsion of Chinese. The minister sug-
gests it is preferable to prevent violence to
depressing it after it may have arisen. In
reply to Secretary Bayard. Gov. Stone
man telegraphed:
There has not been single case of violence
toward the Chinese in this state nor do an
ticipate any trouble which cannot be con-
trolled by local authority. There is deep
seated and unanimous feeling on this coast
against further immigration of the Chinese.
Thousands Of good citizens are unable to OBJ
tain a livelihood owing to their presence. Re-
terring to the suggestions of the Chinese
minister to yourself as to the proper method
of preserving good order in this state may
say we are capable Of performing that duty
without gratuitous suggestions from that
quarter.

BISHOP Fabre,s NIandament.

MONTREAL, Dec. 26.-In his manda-
ment, which will be read in all the Catholic
churches in the city tomorrow, denouncing
the Riel agitation, Bishop Fabre takes occa-
sion to publish the pope's encyclical letter,
in which it is enjoined upon all Catholics to
live in brotherly love with other religions
and to uphold the law of the land. The
bishop says there never was time when
union between the priests and the people
was so necessary as the present. He la
ments the action of some young people
in having INDUCED in demonstrations
which brought no good to either church or
country. He deprecated the action of
certain newspapers calling themselves
Catholic which had endeavored to use re-
Iigion to spread their revolutionary ideas,
and concluded by saying:
The past must be buried in oblivion. IF
injustice has been done. whoever the guilty
parties may be, all must now be repaired by
reciprocal charity, and all must be redeemed
by a common effort of Difference towards the
holy see. By this means Catholics will obtain
double advantage, that of bidding the church
to preserve and propagate Christian doctrines
and that of rendering signal service to society
whose salvation Is not only compromised by
bad doctrines, but also by bad passions.

Drained with a Chair.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi. Dec. 26.-Two Har-
bors, small place about twenty miles from
here, was the scene of drunken brawl in
a saloon on Christmas evening. which re-
resulted in the death of Swede named
Andrew Anderson, who was the brother
of Caper Anderson, the proprietor Of the
house. AS the participants in the affair
were all SwedeS, and possess that charac-
teristic of their race, uncommunicativeness
it is no easy matter to get at the facts
in the case. AS near as can be learned a
party of perhaps dozen Swedes assembled
there to celebrate the evening and over
loaded themselves with liquor, which, as
usual, produced belligerent effect, and
the party wound up in general row, in
which all sorts of articles were brought
into requisition, among others chair,
which came down upon the head of the
murdered man with sufficient force to crush
the skull near the spinal column, and
caused instant death. In the melee no one
seems to have been sober enough to know
who struck the fatal blow, and cOnse-
uuently all those who were there and could
be apprehended were placed under arrest,
and were given a hearing before Justice
Mcpherson to-day. Nothing further than
has been already stated was developed at
the preliminary examination, but it is
thought that none of the men in custody
are guilty. County Attorney D'Autrement
went down to the bay this morning, in
company with an officer, and it is prOba-
bic that the guilty man will be discovered
to-day. The fact is patent that the MUIR
der was not premeditated, but impulsive,
and perhaps there was no intention OF
taking life.

Passing Forged wheat Checks.

Passing Forged Wheat Checks.
Special to the Globe.
REDFIELD. OAK. Dec. ga young fell
low by the name of John Kaiser was ar.
rested this afternoon for attempting to pass
off forged G. w. Van Dusen wheat check
of $50 on the Sphinx County bank OF this
city. Kaiser got similar check OF $40
cashed at the bank in the morning. The
fact that he should have so much money
coming in one day aroused the suspicious OF
the bank officials. The appearance of the
check also indicated that there was some
thing wrong. On some slight pretext
Kaiser was detained in the bank until Mr..
Burns, the agent of the company, was in
terviewed. and it was clearly ascertained
that the suspicious of the bank were well
founded. Kaiser was Immediately placed I'M
der arrest, when he confessed his guilt, and
admitted having received money amounting
to about 500 in the same way and from the
within the past few months. He claims to
have acted as the tool of a second party,
stranger by the name of Preston, who drew
the checks and with whom he divided the
money, but as no trace caa be secured OF
any such person the story is generally dis
credited. Kaiser has rather green ap-
pearance, but samples of his handwriting
which have been secured indicate that he is
perfectly competent to commit the crime
without any assistance. Kaiser will be
brought up for preliminary examination
Monday morning. and the chances are that
he will be given chance to repent his folly
behind prison bars.

which threatens to result in lynching.
Thursday night two brothers named Hayter

that the marshal. F. NJ. Miller, attempted
to arrest them. They resisted. and jump
ing on their horses drew their revolvers
and rode up and down the main street,
firing at whatever object attracted their at
tention. When their guns were unloaded
the marshal opened fire and killed one of
them instantly, dropping the other from his
horse by bullet through the body. The
entire populace of the town soon gathered
where the men had fallen, and as the Hay
tiers had many friends, the action of the
marshal was condemned Relatives of the
Hayters arrived from the country yesterday
in such strong numbers that the marshal
was locked up for safe keeping. tits feared
that an attempt will be made to lynch him,
and great excitement prevails.

SARAH ALTHEA GETS LEFT.
Her Marriage Contract Declared Z
Forgery.


SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 26.-United States
Circuit Judge Sawyer this morning rem
dered decision in favor of plaintiff in the
suit of Sharon vs.. Hill brought to declare
void the alleged marriage contract.
The decision. after stating the evidence in
the case, which covers 1,731 pages of legal
cap written with type writer, refers to the
refusal of the defendant to produce the al
legged marriage contract before the examiner
and her committal for contempt for this Of
Tense, and adds: ''This singular conduct
can only be interpreted as an admission
that such inspection would tend to prove its
marriage contract), falsity." In determin-
ing the PLAINTIFFS standing in the circuit
court as citizen of Nevada, it is held that
notwithstanding the plaintiffs two resi-
dences in California, he never exercised
any political rights in this state which
voided his status as citizen of Nevada,
hence he was citizen of the latter. On a
question as to the effect of the adjudication
Of the superior court in the divorce case Of
SHARON VS.. SHARON,
in which an appeal is now pending, the
decision says: 1.-THE supreme court of the
state has uniformly held that an appeal
from judgment suspends it's operation for
all purposes and that settles the question
for this court" 1t follows that plaintiff is
not estopped by the Judgment of the SUI
perior court, in the case of Sharon VS..
Sharon, to prove in this case that the de-
claration of marriage is false and forged.
The decision then states the principal
question is to find whether the declaration
Of marriage is genuine or forged. Much
space is devoted to an analysis of testimony
by chirography experts, from which the
court decides the testimony is largely in
favor Of plaintiff and proves as far as such
evidence can that the signature to the doc
ument is forged. 1t also holds from the
same testimony that the word ''wife'' is
my dear wife" The letters are tracings
substituted for other words. The opinion
concludes by stating that the alleged mar
riage contract is a forgery and DEGREES that
it is null and void. The main opinion is
by Judge Deadly of United States district
court OF Oregon and contains "a, 200 words.
Judge Sawyer filed a concurring opinion.

Facts About COffins.

There are in the United States about
forty coffin factories, located principally
west of the Alleghenies, where suitable
lumber is more plentiful and cheaper than
in the East.
The largest concern is located in Cincin-
natl, and there is still another in st. Louis
which has a flooring space of SO, 600 square
feet and employs 100 men, besides several
women, who are employed in making
burial clothes and shrouds, business that is
of recent date and which is rapidly grow
ing.
The coffin manufacturers of the United
States are banded together under the name
of the National Burial association. They
meet four times year, III different cities,
and probably they can control the price OF
their products better than any other SINH
lar organization.
A few years ago there was quite a rage
or metallic burial cases, but Of late the
reference is for collins.
A considerable number of American cOf-
fins are shipped abroad, mostly to England,
South Africa, Cuba and the South Ameri-
can states. Those made for export are of
the ''knock-down" style, and are put to-
gether at their places of destination, eX-
cept those shipped to England.
Walnut is mostly used for the best class
of cotflns, but some very finely finished
ones are made OF sweet gum. When I'M
ished up finely it resembles cherry some
what and is called ''satin walnut"
Poplar is used to greater extent IN the
business than any other wood. 1t is cheap,
easily worked and adapted to the require
ments of the business.
Neither the kind of wood of which cof-
fin is made nor it's probable durability af-
fects its price, which depends upon the
style of finish and ranges from SO or So up
to the full extent of the customers ability
to pay.
Much of the wealth and labor of the
country is annually buried in the soil
through fashion that calls for ridiculously
expensive funerals.

church, at the opening of the first expo
sition given by thaterace, J. NJ. Langston,
late minister to Hayti, addressed them. He

slaves that had been liberated years before
those of the American continent. and said
that the American negroes had advanced
more in the last twenty-five years than any
others had in long period of liberty. He
said he was the first negro on the American
continent to speak from an ambulance to
those of his own race who had waged Bit
ter war against fearful odds and won. In
conclusion Mr.. Langston urged renewed
efforts on the part of the negro to attain to
a still more exalted standard.
