have any new light shed on the subject.

sensational story telegraphed here this

At the Harrison household the story is

it to be the creation of n ma

rison s life, nor had.any thought of such
p possibility seriously engaged the con-
sideration of any of the general 5 friends
or of his family, so far as dili@ent in

New York therefore causes all the
greater Indignation as it leaves
the correspondent who is no
toriOus among the local newspaper
fraternity as an unreliable reporter 4,
without the smallest grounds of fact upon
which to justify his story. Several tele-
grams have been received at the house

tration, and called upon the American
people to protect their brothers in certain
sections i'll the South in the exercise of
their rights as free men.
Senator Sherman in response said
''The problem of securing to you
peaceful enjoyment of equal rights
and privileges is most diff
ficult one in American politics. 1 have
taken part in all measures that have
brought about the great change in your
condition, the most remarkable in modern
history. l have no regret for
anything have done to emancipate you,
to educate and to cloth you with all the
legal rights of American citizens. So far
as the constitution and laws of the cOun
try can do it, you now stand before me
invested with every right of free men
In all Northern states and in some OF
the Southern states they are freely
conceded, and openly enjoyed by
you. If in some of the Southern states
these rights are denied you, you must re-
member and make allowances for the
opinions and prejudices of ages, and for
your enforced ignorance as the result of
slavery. But it is certain these prejn
dices will disappear as you acquire edu
cation and property, and now you can
win by your moderation and good con-
duct the respect and confidence of the
sons of those who held you, or
YOUR ANCESTORS AS SLAVES.
If you suffer injustice under the shadow
of the past remember that never before
in human history did an emancipated
race or class make such progress in a
short time as you have done. -
Senator Sherman expressed the hope
aud belief that the next congress would
pass uniform legislation law to secure
to every man his right to vote and have
that vote counted, but he warned them
that congress could not interfere i'll local
elections. 1.-The state or part of the
people of the state may do an injustice to
its citizens, but this does not
authorize congress to interpOse
military force. If injustice is
done you must not resort to violence
or crime, you must appeal to law and
public opinion. Your hope is in the
moral conviction growing stronger day by
day that injustice to you reacts on your
oppressors. 1t was for them, the speaker
said, to show the untruth of
the charge that they were not
fitted for the duties of citizenship,
and that in those states where they were
numerous they would establish negro
rule and endanger civilization. In con-
cIusiOn he said that their labor was the
most valuable commodity of the South,
and would in time demand for them COM
fort, home, independence and civic and
political rights.

five rounds were of the hurricane order,

with blood, scrambled about the ring
more like bull dogs than human beings
The contest from this to the close was
even more horrible to look upon. There
was blood blood everywhere. The spec

sponge went up expressions of relief
were heard ON all sides. The fight lasted
thirty-nine minutes.

empty phial lay alongside the body, and
the impression first formed was that the
woman had committed suicide. At the

that there were no signs of poison in the

the condition of the body justified this
belief, and i'll addition TO this there was IA
mark on the woman s neck which showed
Il small cord had been tied tightly around
it. The woman was of low character.
When the body was found it was still
warm. 1t was lying in an open street,
and there is no possibility that the woman
could have taken her own life. Some
persons believe that her murderer is iden-
teal with the Whitechapel tiend, who
they think has adopted new method of

IA on Sunday last near Oakland, Chica-

Overton declines to make any statement
as to how the killing occurred, but says
he expects his case to come be-
fore the commissioners during the
LIST of January. The only eye wit
ness to the tragedy was Wilson, who is
held as accomplish. Overton says Sacra
attempted to give him cursing at fish

done so. Afterward they met in a past
ure, and Sacra was killed. Overton is
the son of the late Governor Overton,
and man of influence. Wilson is an

DESTROYED Bank Votes Resurrected.

.,WAaafNGToN Dec. 2l.-One or more
snasy6nal bank notes, once redeemed,
cancelled, and as supposed destroyed,
has appeared Il second time at the treas
ury department for redemption, and it
has been found that the theft must have
been committed by some person
having the handling of such
notes after their redemption
by the department The lower corners
of the notes containing the names of the
bank officers are cut off after counting i'll
the redemption agency. The notes are
then sent to the Office of the comptroller
of currsncy., where they are counted and
again cancelled by punching, and are
then taken under lock to the macreator
for destruction. With the many checks
on this money from the time redeemed
it is very difficult to determine how the
theft was accomplished, as these notes
when finally counted lack the large COR
ners which, rs stated, are cut off in the
redemption agency before the notes are
sent up to the comptroller, and these 1t
was necessary to obtain to complete the
note.
