Mormon Colonization in Mexico.

New YORK, February 15th.-The Trib-
anes Chicago special says Daniel W.
Jones, an elder in the Mormon church. and
one of the agents sent TO the City of Mexi-
co to arrange for the colonization of large
bodies of Mormons in north Mexico, ar
rived at El Paso, Texas, yesterday, from
the Mexican Capital. He declared the re-
ports that the Mexican Government was
opposed TO the Mormon plans untrue. He
says the agents met with the most cordial
welcome. No one treated them with
greater consideration than President Diaz
himself. He says the cause of the tempo
rary abandonment of the colonization
scheme was the discovery that they
could not procure title to sufficient arabic
land in either Sonora or Chihuahua

Thrilling Railroad Accident

Ell PAso (Tex), February 15th.-The
Mexican Central express train, due here on
Sunday, met with an accident at Gallego
station. The train was left standing on the
heavy grade, after the engine had pulled
away, when the cars started down at
rapid rate, and collided against the shifting
locomotive, mashing the tender and in
capacitating the engine. It occurred about
midnight, and the sleeping passengers
were terribly frightened, though no one
was seriously injured. The haggageman
and express agent had narrow escape, as
their car was badly wrecked. After some
hours delay and an improvised meal for
the passengers, the train came through.

New YORK, February 15th.-The Sul
says: There is general satisfaction in racing
circles at the news that Mrs. G. L. Loril-
lard will probably run some of her late
husbands horses. It is not known whether
the horses were transferred to her before
his death or not. If they were, the transfer
would probably be accepted by the Jockey
Clubs here and the entries for stakes would
hold good. The most interesting feature of
the Withers was to be the meeting of Port
land and Electric, and if the transfer has
been made these two cracks will probably
meet. Mrs. Lcrillard has always taken an
interest in racing.

LONDON, Oct. 26-Details have been received
of the massacre of native Christians of Uganda,

massacre began in June, and was directly due TO
the refusal of Christian lad acting as the Kings

Christians were tortured, mutilated and speared,
and thirty-two were burned alive together. The
appeals of the missionaries for cessation of the
atrocities were unavaiing The fate of thes.

massacre many natives were baptized.

proposed last Saturday, as requiring private
confession and absolution before the clergyman,
somewhat similar to the Roman church. and
officially states that no such action was either
taken or even proposed; 'uhat, in common with
our fathers, we repudate and condemn with all our
hearts any and every form of confession that re-
quires an enumeration of sins, and that our
actions simply provided an order for personal
confession of sinfulness and peniteEce, to be
used by the comnunicant who desires, as well
as an order for the public confession customary
in Lutheran churches preparatory to the holy
communion"

suddenly driven insane, last evening, under cir

him up at the Harrison street police station.
This morning Mclaughlin was brought before
Justice Merch. He was very well dressed and
of gentlemanly manner, his language giving evil

talk, and started out by asking the justice TO
lend him a shilling Questioned as to his strange
actiens he replied that he could not account for

An Important witness Murdered.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. pa special from Des
Moines, Ia, says: "The disappearance of Henry
Peters one of the important witnesses in the
Haddock murder at Sioux City, and the intima-
ton that he had been killed to prevent his telling
tales, has been nearly confirmed. On the 4th
of this month the body of a stranger was found
in the willows about mile from Crescent, near
Council Bluffs. 1t was badly decomposed, and
could not be identified. The place where the
body was found was one which could be reached
by skiff coming down the Missouri, and it is
thought that the men came down the river after
the Haddock murder and brought the body OF
this man. Insa pocket was found crumpled
piece of paper which was written Miss Mine
Newman, Capitol avenue. II. Ragburn.' The
body was buried in the potters' field az Council
Bluffs; but to-day an examination of the clothing
was made leading to the almost complete identi
fcation of Peters. It is thought that he. too
was killed by the Haddock murderers to pre-
vent his revealing the first assassins"
