CHICAGO, August 18.-The latest nov
city in the Chicago criminal record is a
trio of female sand-baggers. Early this
morning Minnie Daily, a noted Pick.
pocket and shop.lifter and the wife Of
an expert burglar, accompanied by two
other women we'll known to the police,
stopped we'll dressed gentleman in front
ofthe Prescott House on Madison street
and attempted to rob him. Two of the
women seized him. while the third struck
him several times in the face with brass
knuckles. The man shouted for help
and an officer heard him and went to the
rescue. At the sight of the officer cab
driver put two of the women into his cab
and started away at q rapid pace. Min
ME DAILY made her escape through an
alley. The officer followed the cab and
ordered the driver to stop, but he refused.
The officer finally got into a buggy and
caught the cab. The women and driver
were placed under arrest. On the way
to the station the women offered the
officer 500 to allow them to 60 free, but
yvas refused.

"How comes it that the goods that
cost but $40 before there was any tax
upon them, after that sells for the price
OF $40 and the tax added, and merchants
profit upon that, if that is not ultimately
paid by the consumer? But, my friends,
that is not all. A man who stands fair
in your community and who has
face that would license him as preacher
of the Gospel just upon his looks, such q
man will get up before his fellow citizens
and tell them that high tariff lessons in-
stead of increases the price of commodi.
ties.
"Why, my friends, if that is the case
il q high tariff reduces prices, please tell
me Why it is that all manufacturers are
in favor OF high tariff? Do they want
to reduce the price Of their own goods?
Do they want to make less money ?
Why do they work so hard to increase
the tariff, ifto increase it would reduce
the price of goods?
"That is another one of the absurdi.
ties of these men who are going around.
trying to persuade the people of this
country that high tariff is for the bene
fit of the people.
CHOW, my friends, there is another
thing these people say. They come
before you and they draw glowing
picture of the wealth aud prosperity of
our country. That is all very we'll,
indeed, although it would be little
fairer if they would give the other side of
the picture, aud show how the agricultu.

Commemoratcd by . Large Meeting In
Washington.
WASHINGTON, d. C, February IL A
largely attended meeting was held at the
club house Of the National Republican
League, this afternoon, in commemoration
of the birthday Of Abraham Lincoln.
An address upon the life Of President
Lincoln was delivered by Senator Cullom,
of Illinois He expressed the opinion that
the people of all nations weie more tamil
lar with the life, character and career Of
Lincoln than Of any other man in Ameri-
can history, save Washington. 1t was his
good fortune, the Senator said, to know
Mr.. Lincoln we'll. While hoy upon the
farm, he frequently heard his father tell
neighboTs and friends what an able lawyer
and good man Lincoln was. Referring to
Lincoln's early life, the Senator said his
experience during youth and early man
hood developed in him courage, great pow
ers of endurance, liberality, and strong
sympathy for the poor and the oppressed
"Mr. Encoln's power resulted from his
wonderful insight into the truth, and his
courage in proclaiming it against all oppo-
sition. In the conviction that he was
right, and in the persistent advocacy Of
what he believed TO be right, be rose above
party claims ana methods.
Lincoln was pure man. Nations were
born to live longer than men. Many gen.
erations may pass away, but the perpetu.
ity of the nation must be conserved, and
the interests and liberty Of the people pre-
served. In commemorating the virtue Of
Abraham Lincoln, 1t was fitting for Amer
leans to renew their devotion to tho cause
of liberty, and to place themselves 20 that
this government Of, and by, and for the
people, shall not perish from the earth"

The HattieIds Could Not Get a Fair Trial
In Pike County,

The HatfieIds Could Not Get Fair Trial
In Pike County,
PHILADELPHIA, February 12.-The
Press to-day says:
Mr.. Reese D. Horton, who for fifteen
years has been United States Marshall g
officer in Kentucky, passed through the
city yesterday. Mr.. Horton is from Car
ter county, which is in the mountain
district" of the Blue Grass State. His
adventures among the outlaws, des-
peradOes and moonshiners OF the South
would make columns CT interesting read
ing.
"Iknow every man, woman and thild In
Pike county," he said, when questioned
about the Hatfield. Mccoy interstate war,
"and I'm glad to hear that Judge Bar has
granted q writ of hsheas corpus in favor of
the Hat6eld's now in Jail at Pikeville.
They couldn't possibly receive fair trial
in the State Courts, because the McCoy's,
who are opposing them, are related to ev-
cry family in Pike county. No jury could
be empaueled that would give Hatfield
fair trial.
This case of feudal warfare has been
given o national prominence, and yet it is
no worse than hundreds Of similar wars
that are always raging in Kentucky. The
Underwood -Holbrook trouble in my coun-
ty. the Breathitt county war, the late Toll
liver Martin feud in Rowan county, are
samples of the intenecine warfare that was
horn Of the war between the States. They
are always fighting in Kentucky. The
newspapers only get hold of the more
prominent cases. know the McCoys and
the Hatfelds we'll Bud Mccoy, who
was killed during the raid upon the Hat
fields, was undoubtedly the leader Of the
Kentucky faction He was fne-looking
fellow, six feet and an inch in height, and
was a regular mountain donkey. He
could shoot at the drop Of the hat, and
was considered dangerous man.

CHATTANOOGA, February IA special
from Huntsville, Ala, tonight, says q
large cave was discovered there to to-day
which rivals the Mammoth Cave in extent
and beauty. The main room is $50 by 300
acres, having no supports except a solid
rock arch, half mile in length and fifty
feet in thickness. The walls and arch are
covered with crystals and immense pyTa'
mids of stalagmites are seen on every side.
A large lake was found after the discover
ers had travelled three hours. The lake
contained silver fish without eyes. The
water is one hundred feet deep.

Nh. REESE d. HORTON, who for fifteen
Yeas mas been United States MarshaPs
officer in Kentucky, declares that the I'M
priscued HArFIELDs could not possibly
have received a fair trial by Jury in Pike
county, because the Mccoy murderers are
related to every family in Pike county,
kentucky. These MCCOYs should be sup
pressed by the Kentucky authorities.
They are evidently as keen-witted as they
are uDscrupulous, having deceived so
many newspaper correspondents into lay
ing the blame for their outrages on West
YirginianS. A fear is expressed that the
MCCoYs will lynch the HATFGELDs, whom
they kidnapped across the border, since
the United States Court has granted the
writs Of habeas corpus Should the HAT
FIELDS set foot out of Jail unguarded they
all would he butchered, it is asserted.

Report of the Consul at Salyador-The
Canal and Railroad Schemes.
WASHINGTON, February 12-The Uni
ted States Consul at San Salvador has
made report to the Department of State
in regard to the railway system OF Central
America. He says that President Meme
dee, of Salvador, is an earnest friend of
the United States and like the late Presi-
dent Barrios, of Guatemala, favors the as
similation of the institutions and business
methods of his country to those Of the
United States. After referring to the un-
healthful climate of Central America at
the sea level the consul says: ''The Mica
raugua Canal and the Ship Railway and
Delessep's Canal are at the sea level. No
soft cooling wave from the Pacific may find
its way into either canal or follow gigantic
locomotives tugging at ships crossing
Techuautepec, and the acclimated alone
NAV cross the continent in safety at the
sea level, but there is perfect immunity
from climatic diseases the instant the trav.
eler reaches an elevation Of 1000 feet
above the sea-
Commerce, therefore will traverse the
ship railway and the canal; men and
women will prefer this -isthmian
railway having perfectly land
licked harbor at each terminus and an ele-
vation at no point after leaving the coast
of less than 1000 feet above the plane Of
two oceans.
The consul concludes his report as fol-
lows: From every trading place of as
many as 1000 or 5000 inhabitants along
this interminable coast a railway will soon
lead to farms and Villages in the
interior. Twelve such railways are
now building between the southern con-
fines of Chill and California. Ifthe trans.
isthmian be speedily finished the iron and
coal and steel of Euglsnd and Australia
may be supplantsd everywhere on the Pa
cifc by that produced in the United
States"
