FIGHT OF THE STATES.
Kentucky Wins the First Mill by Hold
ing the Hatfields.


LOUISVILLE, KY, March Sin the
United States District Court this morning
Judge Barr remanded the West Virginia
prisoners, the Hatflelds, to the charge of
the Pike county officials. This is victory
for the State of Kentucky.
An appeal to the United States Circuit
Court from District Judge Barr's opinion
was taken this afternoon by Hon. Eustace
Gibson, attorney for the State of West Nir-
ginia. The case had a very amusing close.
While the immediate disposition of the
prisoners was under consideration Andrew
Varney, one of their number, got up and
stated that he wanted to be sent back to
Pike county. The court there would only
be in session for a week, and he wanted to
be there in time, as he felt sure he would
prove his innocence. The court said:
eff you had made this application for a
writ of habeas corpus you would be there
now.n
Varney said: "It was not on my apphca-
ton that / was brought here. did not
know thing about this until was brought
here"
The Judge said he wished he had known
that before.
Varlley said he did not think it was fair
to make him and others suffer in order that
West Virginia might fight her legal battle.
This put the laugh on the Representative
from West Virginia, who, it win be remem-
bered, when he made application for the
great danger in Pike county, and that they
were most anxious to be brought before the
United States Court in order to escape this

DUBLIN, March 3.-Archbishop Ryan, of

will produce a rupture that will shake the

insured in the United States Mutual and
Travellers Insurance Companies, both acci-
dent companies. The confessions were made
by Henry Matthews and Frank Evans, two
negroes, who snatched the body and assisted
in the subsequent burial. The verdict of
the Coroner's jury was that no such man
as Dudley ever lived, but that the body of

GRAND JURY PREsE NTMENTs.
A fresh sensation has be n caused by the
presentment of the grand jury, which was
made to-day. The jury recommended the
establishment OF a chain-gang to work on
the country roads, the establishment of a
whipping-post for the punishment of vag-
rants, wife-beaters and other petty offenders,
and the establishment of county criminal
court for the trial of petty offenders. There
is already a law on the statute books au-
thorizing the city to work its streets with
the labor of criminals convicted at the

THE FREE LIST.
Wool, fax, hemp, jute, dye stuffs and
many other raw materials are placed upon
the free list, and this will largely reduce
the cost of production without reducing the
wages of labor. The consumer will thus be
enabled to get cheaper goods, while the man
ufacturer will reallze ample profits and the
former will continue TO receive the same or
higher wages / think the bill will pass
