A NAVAL RESERVE.

The proposition by Representative
Whitthorne, of this State, for the es-
tablishment of National Naval Re-
serve is meeting with general APP
proval and especially by the leading
newspapers of the country. Gen.
Schofield gives it a hearty endorse
ment, as have the leading officers of
the navy. No man. be he profes-
sional sailor or soldier, can give a
good reason for opposing it. If a
military militia is essential in time
of peace as the nucleus of an army,
certainly a naval militia as the basis
of an extention and increase of the
navy is more so, as the only enemies
we have to fear are those beyond the
waters. AS is the case in all Euro
pean countries, every vessel with
capacity for service in time of war
that now floats the National flag
sh hpuld be held by some sort of bond
to be turned over to the National
Government for immediate service
on demand. A National Marine
Militia or reserve is more essential to
our service than forts and fortifica-
tions. For it is upon willing hearts
and hands the national defense must
rest at last.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 20.--The Plea
yune's Wahalak special says: The
tragedy is about over. Three of the
leading actors are in the hands of
avengers, and six more are headed,
and escape seems Impossible. The
hunt began early this morning. The
names of the three captured are Dick
Cheatham, Anthony Wilder and Zack
Maury. The first two are in custody,
and the latter under surveillance.
Wilder was caught at a store in
Shuqualak. A search of his premises
revealed two guns concealed in the
barn, one belonging to himself and
the other to Will Martin. One of the
guns was loaded with slugs and tur-
key shot, and the other was loaded
with buckshot. Dick Cheatham was
arrested in the house of Mr.. Jones,
whom he was assisting in killing
hogs. His wife was also there. She
betrayed great nervousness and
anxiety to get away. She speedily
left, for the purpose, it is believed, of
warning the other conspirators whose
hiding places she knew. Dick Cheat
ham has made confession, stating
that six of the fugitives had break
tasted at his house, among them
George Maury, the ring-leader. Their
plan was to remain in hiding until
night and then board a passenger
train. Armed men are waiting for
them tonight at half dozen stations
north and south of here. The
prisoners are at a dilapidated frame
building called Whitehouse, ten
miles from here, on the brow of
one of the highest range of hills in
the neighborhood. They are under
a strong guard, and the next twenty
four hours will determine their fate.
Satisfactory evidence is now at hand
that the ambush party was composed
of sixteen men, led by Geo. Maury.
Others known are Walter Crook,
Will Martin, alias "Coe," George
Coleman, Henry Bush, Dick Cheat
ham, Anthony Wilder, Cash Maury,
John Prince and Nelson and Andrew
Stennis. 1t is not likely that any of
them can get out of the trap set for
them. The wounded white men are
worse tonight, and it is feared that
three of them will die.

he found number ofbottles of lager

Three of the Negro Desperadoes
Caught Near Wahalak.
Six More Surrounded and Escape APP
parently Impossible-Th Next
Twenty-Four Hours Will Deter
mine Their Fate.

MERIDIAN, Mss, Dec. 20.-The
situation at Wahalak remains un-
changed. The negroes implicated in
the killing of Maury and Cobb and
other citizens of Kemper county
have all disappeared, and no trace Of
them has been discovered up to the
time of this writing. A number of
men have been diligently searching
Tor them since Sunday morning, but
not one of them has yet been found.
The county is quiet. A rumor
obtained circulation yesterday
that there was troubled anticipated
at Shuqualak, station some
miles north Of Wahalak
This originated from re-
quest made to the Sheriff of Noxum-
bee county to send twenty-five men
to that point, as there were fears of
the destruction of property belonging
to innocent negroes in that vicinity.
The excitement is all over and the
people are anxious to arrest the per.
petrators of the tragedy. Cobb and
Many were buried yesterday and
the wounded are all doing fairly
well. The rumor that several ne
groes were killed in or near Wahalak
yesterday is utterly without founda-
ton.

TERRIBLE BLIZZARD.
The City Of Quebec the Scene Of It's
Fury-Tne Pacific Coast Also In Its
Mad Embrece.

MONTREAL, Dec. 20.-One of the
worst bIizzards that the city ever ex-
perienced has just spent its fury
through this section. The storm be-
ban on Sunday, and by Monday noon
was bowling, raging blizzard.
Monday afternoon six farmers start
ed from Boucherville for this city
with wagon loads of produce. They
had to caoss the river on the ice in
the height of the storm, and as
nothing has been seen of them since
their departure from the village, it is
feared they broke through the ice and
were drowned. Two brothers, Hugh
and Michael Walsh, who arrived ex-
hausted at Carlton last evening, tell
a terrible story of suffering. They
were attempting to cross with a team
on the ice. When in the middle of
theriver the hurricane overlook them
and the ice broke up. The team was
swept away, and they only escaped
death by jumping on large ice foe.
The remainder of the night was
spent in terrible agony, drifting on
their frail support upon the tempest
tossed river. AT daylight the ice foe
grounded on small island, and their
sad plight being seen from shore, a
boat was put out and they were
rescued.

at the Opera House.

Only medium sized audience as
sembled at the opera house last even
ing, to see the play of DIR. Jekyli
and Mr.. Hyde. 1t is too near the
Christmas season and people spend
their money for presents, rather than
for the theater just now. The play,
though, was well put on, and the
company did not neglect any part Of
it, but endeavored to please the au-
ence. The hideOus character Of Mr..
Hyde and the part of the gentle
manly DIR. Jekyll, were successfully
presented by Mr.. Geo. Ober, who
did some fine acting. His support
was good, and the play gave general
satisfaction.
