On the 31st ult., Mr.. Nathan
Hickman, of Pine, an old and
prominent citizen of our county,
was shot in the breast by Will
Satterfield, a IA year old colored
boy, of the same neighbOrhoOd.
The gun was loaded with bird
shot and did not inflict any fatal
injury. The young offender was
tried before Esq. w. G. Thompson
and in default of $1,000 bond was
placed in Jail. Mr.. Hickman had
incurred the i'll will of the boy by
forbidding him going through his
premises. Though he had very
narrow escape, he is now getting
well, we learn. A
pumpkin vine brought into our
office a few days ago by Mr..
A. G. Maberry measured over six
feet in length, was doubled and
fattened out until it was eight
inches wide at most places. 1t is
evidently twin vines or triplets.-

THE RESCRIPT.
Information from Headquarters About
the Pope ana the Irish Question.

New YoRK, May l3-The Catholic
News has received the following cable
gram from Rev. Francis Stevens. its cor
respondent in Rome The recent rescript
Of the Holy Father on the Irish question
is an indication of the papal policy to DO
pursued with respect to the agitation
now being carried on in the Emerald
Isle. Bishop Walsh, Of Dublin. had
many audiences with his Holiness on the
subject. The Pope ailirms that rs far as
1t is In his power. he will protect the
interests Of the Irish people. but that he
will condemn everything in the land
OF revolutionary nature. The Holy
Father has gone further and informed
the English Government that he expects
them to do something for the Irish ten
ant farmers. This was insisted on by the
Papal Secretary of State in his confer.
ence with the Duke Of Norfolk. Further
explanation of this decree is that II was
inspired by the request of the Irish
Bishops who brought the matter to the
Vatican attention for official action. 1t
is known that Parnel was opposed to the
plan of campaign and has never taken
part in it, II is believed in Rome that
the interests Of the Irish can best be
served by means that will not antagonize
public sentiment and bring the Irish
cause into disfavor.

GROSyENOR OF OHIO.


The House In Committee Of the Whole
had the Mills tariff bill under considcra
tons, when Mr. Grosycnor, of Ohio, OBJ
tanned the floor and made very effective
speech. Ii was strange, Grosyenor said,
that the Democratic party led by an
amateur statesman President of the United
States, suddenly had become the cham
pon OF the internal revenue system. For
twenty years the gentlemen representing
the Southern States had not only de.
nounced the general system OF internal
revenue. but had opposed all efforts OF
the government to enforce the tax, and
had SO thoroughly educated the people OF
the South into the belief that the system
was tyrannous, that they had built up
sentiment in the South that ~ defeat aud
violate aud destroy that system by fraud
and violence and bloodshed and murder
was hut the assertion Of good government
of the rebellion against the tyrannous en-.
nctment OF II tyrannous government Now
the Democratic party directed by the
message Of the President has ordained
that the most sacred monument Of taxa.
ton IN this country was now aud must he
in the future the Internal revenue system.
In discussing briefly the speech I the
gentleman from Minnesota, Nelson, he
said when the gentleman undertook 10
put the Republicans who favored the
repeal of the internal revenue law into
the category Of being in favor Of free
whisky and free tobacco he made great
mistake, The proposition to remit the
tax on whisky was to remit the power Of
taxation TO the States and permit the
State To take the place OF the general
government, Regarding the tariff he
said the mission Of statesmen was to see
that the laboring men of the country
should have great deal higher wages
than the laboring men OF other countries,
The prosperity of the country had met
with no check until the Morrison bill
menaccd the industries Of the United
States. The disaster which was threat.
cncd by the Morrison bill would be
qua iruplcd by the passage Of the Mills
bill lie looked for n restoration Of the
Republican party to power the party
which had laid deep and strong rounda.
ton upon which the great tariff structure
had been buildcd, The party had grown
wiser by assaults made upon the system
by its encm cs--and ii would then he able
to reburnish and reboautify the magnih'
| cent structure which was to-day the
pride and Z 'ry Of the American citizen.

ZEPH DAVIS HANGED.
The Colored BOY Murderer OF Chicago
Executed.

CHICAGO, May 13.-Zeph Davis, colored
was hanged at I'LL o'clock yesterday
morning. The crime for which Davis
suffered was committed about seven
o'clock on the morning of February 9th,
in Greene Brothers factory, his victim
being Maggie Gaughan. a pretty little
girl about fifteen years old. Zeph
Maggie also worked, as foreman. The
body Of his victim was found in the after
noon of that day in closet in the rear of
the building under pile of rags and
was horribly multilated. Davis confessed
to killing the girl because she refused to
obey his orders. Davis was the first col
ored man hanged in Cook county.
What led to the commission of the
crime is known only of Davis own state
ment. This was to the effect that he
reprimanded her for coming late to work
that she replied with opprobrious cpith-
cts, and that in a fit Of rage struck her
down with an iron bar Then alarmed
at his crime he hid the body where it was
found. The absence of the girl from hel
accustomed place on the day in question
created some comment. but Davis re-
manned at work and failed to betray any
signs of nervousness. In the course OF
the afternoon he was sent on an Grand
and returning on the cable cars, saw q
crowd outside of the establishment
Realizing that the body of his victim hat
been found he fed and took the first train
out of the city. Twenty-four hours later
he was captured at Forest, H., by 9
special officer of the Illinois Central road
When brought back to the city there was
loud talk of lynching, which was only
appeased by the determination on the
part of the prosecuting authorities tc
bring him to trial without delay. Or
April z, less than month after the crime
had been committed, was found guilty ant
sentenced to death. The defense was
hereditary insanity. When sentence was
being pronounced, he swore repeatedly
at Judge Halves, and afterwards declared
that if he could have reached the spittoor
he would have thrown it at the Judge be
fore he had finished his remarks Since
his incarceration he has at times been sc
violent that it has been found necess airy
to load both his arms and legs with irons

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.


BEECHER CITY, Ills, May 10,-A triple
tragedy was enacted in the country near
here last evening. Henry Miller and VIM.
Odcrhot, farmers, had law suit over
trivial matter, and Miller, the loser, swore
he would get even. After the trial Miller,
true to his word, shouldered his rife and
went to the field where l.. q. Kinscy, one
of Oderholts Witnesses, was blowing,
Miller first killed Kinsey's horse and then
shot Kinscy twice, inhicting mortal
wounds. Miller then went TO another
field where Odcrholt was ut work. Oder
hollis horse was first slain by Miller and
then Odcrholt himself. 1t is supl o ed
that Kinsey and Oderholt attempted to
shield themselves behind their horses,
When the revenge was complete Miller
proceeded TO the hut which had served
him as home, and, after setting the
place atrc, blew his own brains out. His
blackened corpse was found in the debris.
BE ,idc him lay two guns and knife.
Miller was forty years old and lived
alone. Kinscy and Odcrh"lt were among
the most respected citizens of the county.

line railroads began to cut freight rates
Yesterday morning. They started in by
reducing live stock rates from Chicago to

hundred pounds. All the railroads in the
trunk line pool were represented except
the Grand Trunk. The effect of this re-
duction is that it gives to live stock ship
pcrs of the Westa rate which it is declar-
cd will enable them to compete with
dressed beef in this market even when
bought at Grand Trunk rates
