Notorious Payucs-The Defiance
they Sent to the Courts and
tho Government.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Dec. 7.-Unitet

accompanied by Deputy Collector W. P
McCreery, took posse OF seventeen men
to Cedar Creek, Wyoming county, We'd
nesday, where moonshiner John Payne,
and his brothers, were engaged in illicit
distilling. The officers travelled all night
and came upon the still. There was a
large supply of ash aud other material
on hand. The still was located in a
dense forest, far from human habitation,
and Payne was engaged in cutting a
roadway, while u brother stood guard
with two Winchester rifles. The Off
GERS were deployed on either side ofthe
road and when the Paynes approached
they were halted. Two Of them were
arrested, but William Payne showed
light and was not arrested until after
some sharp shooting.
John, William and Joseph Payne have
followed business long time and have
been terror in that section. Recently
Deputy Marshal Sisslers was on Tom
mics creek, Raleigh county, after a wit
ness for the court now in session here,
and was met by John and William
Payne, who held him up, took his pistol
and papers from him and would have
killed him had not friend interceded.
The Paynes told Sissler to get out OF the

that they were makingand selling liquor,
and that they delied Judge, Marshal and
aii the United States officers TO attempt
to arrest them. They have a strong fol-
loving. They will be brought to this
city tomorrow and Jailed until time for
trial.

"The Republicans have got every

at least $3.50, 600, 900; the Blair educa-
tional bill, which will absorb about $75,-
600, 1000; the direct tax bill, which will
amount to nearly $50, 100000, and the Lord
knows how many other bills in the same
line. They will probably run the ex-
penses OF the Government up to over
$6OO,0OOO00 within two years. They
will soon get rid Of the surplus. That
will not long be a standing menace TO
Gen. HarrisOn's administration as it has
been to Mr.. Cleveland's. The Republi.
