Times.
Aye! What do you call losing ground,
Mr.. Times? Your party's number has
been reduced nineteen votes in the lower
house of congress by the late election. If
the ensmallment was on the Republican
side we would consider that we had been
losing, and that pretty heavily.

Moonlight was beaten in Finney county
by SAT votes, while Mccarthy, for auditor,
beat Kelley 1,447, which goes to prove
what the EAGLE said before the election,
lie. that the Democrats would not vote for
Kelly TO any extent worth mentioning. We
know some who did SO who say they did so
unwittingly; that if they had known Kelly
was a negro they would have scratched his
name. The nomination of Kelly by tie
Democrats was the most insipid sop and

The following programme will lie
given at ST. Marks Cathedral tomorrow:
A Mormon Scheme.

CHICAGO, January To- Concerning a
petition of the Mormon colony at Pima,
Arizona, TO the territorial government
for arms and ANN unitiOn to defend
themselves against the Apaches, a special
from Tucson. Arizona, says: 1t Is not
known what action Governor ZuliOk will
take in the matter, but many suspicious
circumstances have recently come to
light which Indicate that the Mormon
colony has long been secretly encourage
ing the murdcrous Apaches by supply
ing them with powder and trading them
guns in exchange for stolen horses,
which the MOrmOns sell in Mexico. 1t
is also stated that the Mormons of Pima
were in league with GerOnimo's band.
and that the hostiles were on most
friendly terms with the Mormons. The
Indian scouts state the MormOns are
getting ready to abandon the Pima col
ony and move over into Sonora. That in
view of this. they were buying all the
stolen horses and cattle that were
brought to them, either by renegade In
dams or thieving white men. Ii has
been anticipated for several weeks that
the Apaches are running short of ammu
milton, and 1t is almost certain that they
are seeking to obtain fresh supply
through their Mormon allies. The Pima
colony numbers some 5000 Mormons,
most of whom are polygamists. The
Edmunds law has not yet been enforced
among them, and they live in great
dread Of its execution.

A Plucky Young Lady.

CLEVELAND, o., January l5.-At an
early hour yesterday morning large
farmhouse near Waynesburg, Stark
County, Ohio, caught fire. Miss Jennie
McIlhenny. the owner of the place, was,
with the exception of two servants, the
only occupant of the house. One of the
servants discovered the flames and
awoke Miss McIlhenny, who rushe d
from the house in her bare feet. The
young lady stood on the icy platform
near the well and pumped water for 20
minutes. Then, seeing that help was
needed, she dashed away through the
snow quarter of a mile to the nearest
house. When she had given the alarm
she ran back. The temperature was u
degrees below zero, and Miss MGIlhenny
was near paralyZed with cold. Her bare
feet and limbs were badly frozen, and it
was with the utmost difficulty that the
attending physician prevented the ne
cessity OF amputatiOH. The lady is now
in critical condition.

Republicans in Caucus.

WASHINGTON. January l5.-Republ-
can Senators met in caucus at 1890 this
morning and adjourned at half past
o'clock. Their purpose was to compare
views with regard to the right of the
Senate to ask information as to the
Presidents reasons for making removals
from office. The fact was stated that
many of the inquiries addressed to the
heads of departments by the Chairman
OF Committees remain unanswered up
to this time, and indicates the purpose
to refuse 10 give this information. No
formal proposition was made, and no
action taken, while a wide variety of
opinions found expression with regard
to the propriety of raising formal Issue
with the administration at present upon
this question. A majority were of the
opinion that should the information
sought not ultimately be forthcoming,
the duty of the Republicans will, in JUS
tice to the men suspended or removed
for supposed caused, be to take some
formal action in the -enate to secure the
information, or an avowal by the Presi-
dent that he will not give his reasons for
making the removals. There was unan-
imOus concurrence in the opinion that
the removed officials have right to
know whether they were removed for
political reasons or maladministration of
their trusts, and that IL is the Senator'S
duty to secure this information If posi-

An Indiana Mob.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January l5.-The
Daily News special from Bloomington,
Ind, says: A desperate effort was made
here last night TO mob Epps, the negro
who so cruelty murdered James DobsOn
a few nights ago, by the vigilants, but
the 'bravery of the Sheriff and his depu-
ties kept the excited crowd at bay. All
day people collected from the neighbOr-
hood of Salisbury, and by O'Clock it
was evident that TO leave Epps hCre
over night was almost certain death
So, preparations were at once made to
remove him to Vincennes for safe. keep
ing. Just at dusk a buggy drove hur-
riedly up to the rear of the Jail. In Sn
instant it was surrounded by the crowd.
Soon the Sheriff appeared with Il cooked
revolver in his hand, and stated he
would shoot the first man who inter-
fered. In moments time Epps was in
buggy and disappearing as fast as the
horses could take him. The crowd was
SO Infatuated that horses were secured
and several men started at once. But as
there were several different roads, they
lost the track and soon returned. BY
midnight the streets were filled with eX-
cited people, and another posse started
in hot pursuit to overtake the prisoner
But at o'clock nothing has been heard
and Epps is now at Vincennes.
