As regards the charges made against some
Of the citizens of this place, have this TO
say: First. They are OF such nature that,
If proven satisfactorily to Mr.. Maffiti. he
would, mort assnrediy, discharge the one
who Is said to be guilty. Second. II guilty
he should be prosecuted to the extent of the
law. Third. Ii any person can prove that
any of the persons charged with intimidating
voters are guilty, he should spea6 out and
let the head of this Company know OF it.
I know that there has been some talk Of
this state of affairs existing at this place.

They have also seen and heard very DEM

CHICAGO. Ill, Janurry 2s.-The McDon-

family occupy the front part Of the house,
and the other one lives in the rear. The
former and bis wife were awakened by
smoke and found their parlor all ablaze.
The flames were making such rapid strides
in every direction that they did not stop to
dress. but gathering their children up in
their arms. fed down stairs to the side

Mr.. McDOnoghes brother and his family
were alarmed by the cracking OF the
flames and they got out without much diff

Both families were taken in by neigh

Lo. ,ne poor Indian.

BRowS's VALLEY, MINI, January D.
In regard to tie statement made few days
- that the Sisseton Indians were in .
starving condition, il was found that quite
a number were entirely dependent upon
the charity OF a few families of this place
TIL. agent is doing what he can 10 help the
needy ones, but ior some reason, tries to
cover up the fact that the Indians, il not
actually suffering, are greatly in need Of as
Gstance. Even by visiting their log cabins,
where several families generally house to-
gethcr during the winter months il is hard
matter TO learn whether or not they have
plenty or are next door TO starvation.
We can only surmise by the heslthful
and well fed or pinched and hungry looks
of the faces. The Indian will not utter .
complaint, but will tighten his belt one
more hole, and with stolidity that is be-
yoni comprehension, sit down in q corner,
p his blanket over his head and grin and
bs... 1t even To his death.
The present dss;itution is attributable to
partial failure Of their crops last season.
They receive 40 more cash annuities from
Government. The Sisse;ons are rich in
lands. but the greater share of them have
most .canty provisions and little or no
means of procuring enough to keep body
and soul together.

PHILADELPHIA, January 2S.-The total

supposed at one time that the city reve-

but the surprisingly limited number Of ap-
plications made and likely to be granted
under the Brooks bill viii cause the reve-

clerks of the Quarter Sessions say that
about one-fourth of the applications will be

sLINkEY MoRGAN's CONFESSION.
A Pittsburx Man Makes One for Him .sTe
Order"

RAvExSA. O., January 2s.-The inklings
| which have been sounded At Columbus
Cleveland and here abount = c.-..easion
made BY Blinkey Morgan certainly have
some foundation on truth, ~ q story from
| Pittsburgh tells. man there who is now
| in a position 10 draw something directly
| from Morgan himself, has been interviewed
and says:
"Blinkey Morgan claimed that he would
| at some time prove Robinson and Coughlin
guiltless OF completely in the rescue Of Nc
Mum and the murder of detective Hulli-
gan al Rayenna. Then few days ago hs
gave i out that he would not do -. This
last is ruse 10 assist in securing him .
new trial. But Morgan can prove both
Coughlin and Robinson guiltless of compile
ity in fkQt murder. The latter may have
had something 20 do with the furs, but he
was not AT the rescue.
'sIf Blinkey keeps his promise to clear
Robinson and Coughlin, he will first tell
that tiey were NOT Of the rescuing party
and will show why. Ameng other things
he will say that Pat Hanly an William

is the man.
After the Rescue Powell went south to
Macon, Ga A few days after the rescue,
Powell shot deputy sheriff who was try
ing TO arrest him. When taken his back
was bruised and skinned and his clothes
we're badly torn. He was tried and ssn-
fenced TO twenty years, and In trying to
escape from the penitentiary the other day,
was shot and killed. l know this to be
true. and ] know that Powell Was . bad
man and was seen with some Of these fel.
lows before the rescue.
Now some OF those on the inside of the
case claim that Hanley and Bill Herring
ton another of the rescuers. are in Eng
land. and they took the furs there. Bah,
Let some of the officers 60 down to that
Penitentiary where Powell VAS killed.
They may find something 10 surprise them.
There were two other men taken At the
time Powell was and all three sentenced to
that PenitentiaIy, and I am satisfied that
one of thes men is Charles, alias Kid Ken
nedy. The other man believe TO be Pat
Hanley. Morgan may or may not know
that these fellows went south. Never
mind about that but il he tells what he
knows about the rescue, he will name the

The speaker is not acquainted with Rob-

knew the othsr members of the gang, and
