BAD BALD KNoBDERs.
One OF Thorn Turns States Evidence
Dave Walker, tho Chief, on Trial.

sr. LouIs, Mo-, March,. THE trial Of Dave
Walker, chief Of the Bald Knobbers, was
resumed at Ozark, Mo-, yesterday, the two
urymen being sufficiently recovered TO
take their places. Charley Graves, one Of
the Knobbers, indicted for the murder Of
Charles Green, was the firsi witness called,
and related his fpt connection with the
organization. This was the frst raid he
had been on, and when lac had arrived at
William Eden's house he recognized Dave
Walkers voice rs one OF those calling open
up, Bald Knobbes."
This was followed by baiicring down the
doors, smo,hercd shot, suppressed
screams, then fusilade and frantic APP
peals for mercy. lie then saw Dave
Walker carry his son William from the
house, shot In the thigh, and heard Dave
say:
"Why did you not stop that woman
screaming2" Bill replied:
81 would II she had not pulled my gun
aside"
Dave was chief Of the Knobber and on
the evening at the place he cautioned all 10
say nothing aud told each man the witness
who was 10 swear 10 an alibi In case Of any
arrests. The members were all reminded
that once a member Of the organization the
only way 90 get out was TO be led out by
a halter or shot out with gun"
Dr. Newton testified 10 being called by
Dave Walker 10 attend lis sons wounds,
and while caring for him the boy told ol
the murder. In speaking OF II lac said
there were too many "tenderieet out thai

THE NORTHWESTERN MILLER.
The Weekly Flour Output Something
OF Squirt.

The Weekly Flour Output Something
OF Squirt.
MINSEAroLIs, Mimi, March THE
northeastern Miller says: There was some
thing Of spurt among the mills last week
TO get -four shipped before threatened ad-
vances in freights took effect, and the re-
suit was that the -four output was raised TO
the highest point in several weeks. The
weeks product was 12s, 100 barrels, aver
aging 81, 450 barrels daily, against 100, 500
barrels the week before and 81, 300 barrels
for the corresponding time in 1887. There
has been no perceptiblc improvement in
the water power, and the mills are moving
along in the same irregular fashion as has
prevailed all winter. One 1000 barrels
water-mill has given up and will not try TO
run until the water is higher. Another
mill Of 800 barrels capacity is down for a
few DAYS to make improvements. On the
other hand, mill Of 1000 barrels capacity
has started It's new engine, aud about that
much Is being added 10 the daily output OF
the city. This leaves total OF fifteen
mills running, eight Of which are using
steam. 1he daily make OF Hour
will probably be between 20,500
and 2l,500 for the week. Just
as soon as there is water power IL will be
materially augmented. The failure OF
freights TO advance, as announced would
occur, has placed the market in very much
better shape, but II is still Ear from brisk.
The export rates quoted week ago prac-
tically cut Off foreign business, and the re-
duction since has revived moderate trade
from abroad. Eastern freights were in
effect never advanced, but the announce
ment that they would be continued rs they
are has had a favorable influence on
domestic buyers, some millers reporting a
very fair volume Of sales at former prices.
One firm having about $1,000 barrels OF
-four stored here is Withdrawing Portion
Of IL. Tho direct exports last week wep
81, 800 barrels, against 1850 the week
before.

The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-03-08

Republicans on the subject of tariff bill,
which II is conceded by the party leaders
must be offered by them. The eastern
Republicans, under tho lead OF
MIR. Reed, propose a heavy
cut in internal revenue and
q very light on imports, while the western
Republicans, under the leadership Of Gen.
Browne, of Indiana, are insisting that the
free list must bc enlarged, and q material
reduction made on import duties. An
other point Of difference between the east
crn and western Republicans relates to
sugar and whisky. Tho eastern Repub-
leans want the whisky tax re-
duced from 10 cents TO 80 cents per
gallon and the sugar duties left undis-
turbed. The western Republicans want
the whisky tax to remain undisturbed,
while they propose q cut of 80 per cent. on
sugar. II is promised tonight that Mr.,
Randall's bill will be made public tomor-
row. He has been engaged today ON the
wool schedule.

mont, In accordance with the company's
suggestion that the payments be made
lighter during the first five years and hoav-
icr during the second than was contom-
plated by the original bill.
Section IL Of the Outhwaitc bill, which
required the companies, at the request of
the department OF Justice, to cause suits to
be instituted in the name of the compa-
nies against persons who are or may have

or other illegal conduct, Is displaced by
the following new section, which Ia In
tended 10 give greater strength 10 the pur-
pose TO prosecute offenders;

TARIFF AND REVENUE.
The Republicans neSupe the Fight ON
the Proposed Legislation.

wAsnISoroS, March 7.--Having mar
shaled their forces over night, the Repub-
lcan members Of the ways and means
committee renewed their attack ON the
Democratic majority tariff and revenue
measures this morning. All Of the mem
bers were present at 1910 o'clock, and
when the committee had been called TO
order, Mr.. Reed opened the proceedings
by renewing his motion that representa-
iiyes OF the cement industry he heard by
the committee.
After the exchange Of some tart remarks
between the opposing lines, this motion
was defeated by a strict party vote. Mr.
Reed again came TO the from, with n mo-
ton that the marble men be heard, M
theirs was an industry that would he seri-
ously affected by tho passage Of the pend
ing bill. This was also rejectcd.
Mr.. Burrows then moved that the East
brook Metallic Pen company, Of Camden,
N. j., be granted ten minutes In which 10
point out the probable effect of the bill on
their business, which, he said, would be
its absolute destruction. When the vote
was taken the same result followed, the
Democrats refusing 10 apce TO any hear
ings.
Mr.. Breckinrdgc, Of kentucky, next
offered a general resolution that all indus
tries affected by the pending bill have
liberty TO file written or printed communi-
cations before the committee, but that no
oral hearings be granted.
Mr.. Kelley moved 10 amend 20 as 70 ro-
quire that those communications already
on file or hereafter received be read by the
clerk 10 the committee. The proposed
amendment was rejected.
Mr.. Mckinley then requested the com
mitiee 20 hear wofkingmen and members
Of Congress or industries in which they
are interested and which we're touched
upon by the bill. Being put in the form
OF motion, this was also voted down,
and the Brckinridgo resolution, allowing
communications 10 be filed, but refusing
oral hearings, was adopted by aparty vote
after the Republican members had e1'
pressed their minds vigorously IN .opposi,,
lion 10 IT. The conmiitCc then adJoufned
subject 10 the call Of the chairman:
A conference of tho Democratic mem.
