Kelly family of No-Man's-land. The
history of their crime and of the cap

daughter have already been published.
The old man, however, made his es-

to say would be heard. He threw a
furtive glance at the speaker and asked
about the rest, meaning his wife and
children. The leader without a word
cast look upward, pointing to the

The old man understood and COM

and in short time the body of Kelly,
with his hands tied behind his back,
was swinging in the air.
He was then let down and asked to
confess his crimes. This he did in
brief way. He said all the members of
his family were equally guilty. He
said in all they had killed and robbed
nine men and two women. He told
where the money was hidden that had
been taken, and gave up what he had

TROOPS REVOLT.
A Rough and Tumble Fight at JEFF

Between White and COlOrsd State
Soldiers.
The Bate Ended by Sheer Fxhaus-

Tell Of the Struggle.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. "A revolt occurred
at Jefferson barracks yesterday even
ing between white and colored state
soldiers that resulted in injury of many
men and probably win cost three men
their lives. At this time there are
many colored recruits at this station,
and Yesterday they drew their first pay
and made an onslaught on the sutler.
a crowd from New York resented
the Familiarity of the colored troopers
and fight followed.
Late in the afternoon a drunken
colored trooper was seen chasing
fourteen-year-Oldw white girl, and party
of white troopers were soon after him
and in due time handed him over to
the officer of the day. This seemed to
enrage number of his comrades and
they forthwith left the barracks, start
ing for Carondelet. On their way
they fell in with squad of white troop
erS and proceeded to take vengeance.
The whites made their escape with a few
bruises and soon made up a party to
handle the revolters- Armed with re-
volvers and carbines they started in
good order for CarOndelet, but were
ordered to return and disarm by the
officers. They refused to return to
arms at once and then proceeded after
the enemy. at the river they met the
cOlored troopers returning. An encoun-
ter Immediately followed and knives,
clubs and rocks were used against each
other. The fight was one of -despera-
ton, and the white men, in superior
force, were met by the discipline of
the colored troopers, who had entered
on a second term of service. For half
an hour the battle was waged without
advantage to either side. On the
bridge and road and river bed men lay
exhausted and beaten down. Finally
the beligerents, blinded and played out,
withdrew. A cOlored trooper reported
the affray at Carondelet station and he
was locked up, while patrol wagon
was sent to gather up the injured men.
In the meantime the white soldiers had
gathered in force, and marching to the
station demanded that the colOred
trooper be given to them. The officers
refused and prepared for an assault.
In the meantime word of the battle had
reached the barracks and four troops of
cavalry were ordered out and arrived in
Carondelet in time to save the police
from attack. The mutineers dispersed
and they were arrested in detachments.
The disturbance was quelled and to-
day peace reigns, though bruises, black
eyes and gashes on half a hundred
heads still tell the tale of the struggle,
while in the hospital, at the point of
death, lie troopers Living, Good, Peter
son and KrummenknOcker, all white.
At one time over three hundred men
were seeking fight.

Gov. HIlI's Recommendations.

Albany, New York, January 3.-New
York Legislature was opened to-day.
Governor Hill, in his message, SAYS he
was determined to make that dOcu-
ment the briefest on record, because he
realized that hewho gives his SuggeS-
tionS with conciSenesS and brevity con-
fers no small gift upon active men in
this business age.
Among the recommendations which
the Governor makes are the passage of
an act regulating the employment of
prison labor; measure providing for
spring municipal elections in the City
of New York, the creation of COM
mission to revise the charter of the
City of New York; an amendment to
the statute which limits the amount of
recovery to $4,000 in case of the death of
person caused by the negligence of
another person, or of a corporation,
and increasing the amount of damages
that may be recovered in such action
to $4,000; a statute making railroad
companies absolutely liable for all
damages by fire set by their locomo-
tives, and a measure for some method
of capital punishment other than hang
ing.
lie condemns the disposition of the
senate TO hang up" or refuse to con-
firm nominations made by
the executive, and charges
the usurpation of authority not orig
inally vested in them, but the preroga-
tive is now thoroughly established
fortified by legislation and used for
partisan purposes.
The governor makes another appeal
for enumeration and apportionment,
and says an enumeration would un-
questionably result in a change in the
political complexion of the legislature.
in the great democratic counties OF
New York and Kings, there is an av-
erage of over so, 900 population to each
assembly district, while in eight re.
publican counties which have over one
assembly district, the average popula-
ton in each district is scarcely hall
that number, and in five other repub-
lican counties having more than ont
district, the population hardly aver
erageS 81, 900 in each district.
Fremant Cole was elected speaker o.
the assembly, and Henry r. Law
president of the senate.
