FIGHTING FOR A RANCH.
A Widow and Her Offspring Seize q
Mans Property.

Mans Property.
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 20.-A year ago a
rancher in Moosa canyon, named Lewis
Stone, went East. During his absence a
family named Goen. consisting of a widow,
two SONS and daughter, took possession Of
his arch and cabin. On Stones return he
instituted legal proceedings to eject the par
ties. His title was confirmed, and last
Wednesday, when the Sheriff went TO take
possession, the whole family Of
Goens faced the officers with
revolvers. The Sheriff snatched a revolver
from Mrs Goen. who was at the door. She
seized a gun and shot him in the face. In
the melee which followed Citizen Reed was
fatally wounded by Percy Goen, and mar
red daughter Of Mrs. Goen was acciden-
tally shot in the neck by her brother and
fell dead. Percy Goen is shot through the
head and arm fatally. His sister and
brother were dead when the officers re-
treated with their wounded, and Mrs. Goen
holds the fort, declaring that she will not
leave the place alive.

A CENTENNIAL CHESTNUT.
The Loan to the Philadelphia EXPOS
ton Under Discussion.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-In the House to-
day, Mr. Springer, of Illinois, rising to a
question of privilege, sent to the clerks desk
and had read an extract from speech
made yesterday by Mr. Kelley, of Pennsyl-
vania, TO the effect that member Of the
Congress which had made the appropriation
for the Philadelphia Centennial (and who
was member of the present Housel hal
claimed a fec of $4,000 for saving IA cutely
inserted clause in the bill, making the loan
one upon which he could go into court and
enforce its payment.
MIR. SPRINGER EXPLAINS.
Mr.. Springer explained his connection
with the Philadelphia appropriation. As
originally dra xn, the bill in effect donated
81 .50000 for the centennial exposition,
but at Mr.. Springer's instance clause was
inserted making it loan. After the expo
sition was ended and the time for settle
mont came there was disposition to claim
this amount as the property Of the stock
holders Of the exposition. Mr.. Springer
had called the attention of the Attorney
General to the provisions of the bill, and at
the Attorney Generals solicitation
he (Mr Springer had argued
the case before the Supreme Court. The
result was a decision that the 81 100000 was
loan, and it was repaid to the United
states. MIR. springer 1au Illeu a ptUlJlOn
asking that his case be referred to the Court
Of Claims for determination whether his
services had been of value, but his claim
had never been acted on.
MR. KELLEY DECLINES TO RETRACT.
Mr.. Kelley declined 20 retract his state
ment Of yesterday, reafllrming his opinion
that no man was entitled to fee in a lti-
cation which he had engineered.
Mr.. Springer inquired categorically
whether the gentleman insisted that he had
claimed a fee for the insertion of the amend
ment.
Mr.. Kelley replied that he did not
think that the gentleman claimed
fee for inserting that clause.
What he meant to say was that, knowing
the purpOrt of his own clause, the gentle
man was one man among fifty million
American citizens who felt that the sub
scribers TO the exposition stock ought to be
made to pay, and who, following his own
tracks, hunted them until he stripped them
of their investment. patriotic as it was.
Mr.. Springer replied that if the gentle
man stated that he demanded a fee for in
serting the clause, be stated what was not
true II the gentleman meant to say that
he pursued the case with all the skill and
ability Of which he was possessed, he ad-
mitted IT, 1t was the proudest record he
had made since he had been member Of
Congress, and that was the opinion Of his
constituents who had returned him six
times since he made that record.

PLANS FOE PROTECTION.
The Ways and Means Committee VIII
Not Hear Speeches.

NOb I1SdI Cp00-A6S.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-While no formal
order to that effect has been made, it is the
present intention of the Democratic ma
jority of the Ways and Means Committee
to refuse hearing to trade interests that
may be affec ted by tariff changes. The
reasons assigned for the adoption of this
course are that if such hearings were
granted, the time of the committee would
be uselessly consumed in listening to a re-
cital of facts that have often been presented
to it during the past few years; that many
important interests are not represented at
hearings Of this kind, with the result that
undue consideration is given to others,
and that the courtesy of the committee
is frequently abused 10y persons who seek
to retard all tariff legislation, rather than
to truly express their sentiments upon prop
ositions affecting the industries which they
are supposed to represent.
INFORMAL HEARINGS.
To avoid, however, the necessity for total
refusal to hear the views of such trade inter
ests as have presented themselves at the
capitol, the Democratic members of the
committee have been for some days giving
their attention to the representations of
various delegations, and in order to dispel
the appearance of anything like
formal conferences, these hearings
are being conducted in little
room in the basement of the House wing,
where such of the Democratic members as
can escape from tFeir duties on the floor are
in attendance. This morning a number of
representatives of zinc and lead industries,
mostly from Missouri and Kansas, argued
in favor of protection of their interest, and
several cotton manufacturers were waiting
Tor an opportunity to he heard.

READINGS STRIKE.
The Subject Before the House Com
mittee on Commerce.

lulbJOO On SOl41lA4OlSC.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-The subject of
the Reading railroad strike came up before
the Hou Committee on Commerce to-day
through a request by the subcommittee, to
which had been referred the Anderson reso-
luton providing for an inquiry into
the strike, that it be dis
charged from further consideration of
the matter. AS a reason for making
this request the subcommittee stated that
it regarded the subject as one of such grav-
ity as to demand consideration at the hands
of the full committee. After a short dis
cussion the request was granted, and an
earnest debate ensued upon the merits of
the proposition.
EVENLY DIVIDED.
It appears that the committee is pretty
evenly divided, a number of its members
favorng an immediate inquiry into the
strike, while perhaps as many more take
the ground that if the strike concerns any
thing more than private interests and is
properly subject for investigation by the
government, the inquiry should be made by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which has jurisdiction if public
rights are concerned. The mat
ter will he further considered
next Tuesday, when an effort will be made
to dispose Of the resolution. 1t IS under
stood Chat delegation from the Knights Of
Labor will try to secure a hearing upon
that day to presenetheir side of the case.

PocATELI.o REpoRTEa: Another
wreck occurred Monday evening at
about O'Clock, just west of the big
wreck Of two weeks ago, in which ten
freight cars were more or less demol-
Ished. The cause is attributed to the
track spreading from the weight of
an extra heavy engine. A large,
we'll built, middle-aged Shoshone In
dian was riding on a coal car. He
was thrown among the debris and in
stantly killed. He was crushed about
the head and face. His remains were
brought to Pocatello, but neither the
Bannocks nor Shoshone Indians knew
him. He had a bottle of medicine, a
paper OF fish hooks and part of bar
OF soap on his person, which were his
only earthly possessions. We learn
he was taken to Ross Fork for burial.

cUrrISG OFF.
Idaho Enterprise.

Cutie little sti- was created here
last Sunday by the announcement
that a number OF Mormons were cut
off the church, and that many more
would be cut off during the week.
1t seemed to-be an open secret that
the accommodating process was ap-
piled for the purpose of making
voters, and that the principal object
was the circumvention of Judge
Berry's decision. To what extent
this scheme will be carried it is now
impossible to say, as the rumors, and
the assertions of the Mormons them
selves, are very contradictory, some
holding that all Mormons except the
Bishop and two counselors in each
ward will be cut off, while others as
strongly assert that the cutting off is
genuine and will not, under any cir
cumstances, extend beyond what
might be termed the rag, tag aud
bob-tailed part of the Mormon church.
We do not mean anything disres-
pectful to the men cut of, but apply
the term to their standing in the
church.
Our opinion is that this scheme
will not be carried very far. 1t is
unreasonable to suppose that people
who have clung to their religion with
the tenacity that the Mormons have,
will submit to be entirely severed
from it. If the whole thing is In
tended as plan to defeat the law
the fraud is too palpable, TOO glaring

1t is reported that Los Angeles
gentleman has been corresponding
with the Clark Bros, of Cambridge
port, Mass, in regard to constructing
a large telescope for the University
of Southern California-one that shall
be furnished with an object-glass 90
inches in diameter-larger than that
in the Lick instrument. The gentle
man is reported to have received a
letter from the Clarks in which they
say that they are now quite certain
that a disc of glass more than &C
inches in diameter can be obtained
with a reasonable number of expert
meuts or trials, and that with theil
! (the Clark's) experience he would
undertake to make and mount tele
scope with 40-inch objective, pho
tographic lens, spectrosoopic appara
tus and everything complete for tn
sum of 100000. This was not posi-
bic when the Lick instrument was or
dered, but has been rendered posi-
BILE within the last three years. Wit
such an instrument mounted upon a
isolated mountain, such as Stanford
Whitney, San Antonio, San Jacint
or San Bernardino, 10000 feet abov
the sea, much more marvellous result
may be expected than the Seine
objective of Mount Hamilton at 4,3C
feet elevation has or possibly ca
reveal.
