"WHITE CAPS" SURPRISED.
They Savagely Whip Two Women, but Two
of the Ruffians Are Shot By Outsiders.

LOUISVILLE. KY, July 26.-Mouday night a
band of white Caps" numbering twenty FIVE
men. visited a house near Marietta, Crawfor
county, Indiana, six miles from the Airline
railroad, occupied by two women named WISE
man, for the purpose of treating them to the
irregular punishment dealt out by the lawless
regulators, for some alleged infraction Of the
laws Of chastity. The defenseless women were
taken from their beds, tied to trees near the
house. and beaten with hickory switches until
they were nearly dead, their screams during the
progress oflthe inhuman punishment being heart
rending.
After the beating the regulators united their
victims and started away. intending TO call at a
neiehbors. inform him of the occurrence. and
command him 10 spread the news, that being
the invariable custom of the White Caps The
screams Of the women had. however, been heard
by some friends living near, and four resolute
men, armed with shotguns, formed an ambush
in some dense woods beside the road aud near
the residence OF a Mr.. Morelsnd. When the
law breakers reach Mr.. Moreland's houss ,hav

Black Declines to Resign.

WASHINGTON Special.
1t is reported tonight by officials of the Inter
Tor Department that the President. some little
time since, gave General Black, Of the Pension
Office, to understand that his resignation would
De acceptable. and that General Black has given
the President to understand that if he wants his
place it must be obtained by a removal. since he
does not intend to resign. The trouble is said
to date back to the time when Black insisted up
on running for Vice-president, in spite Of tho
fact that Mr.. Cleveland did not want him on the
ticket. At the Interior Department the situa-
ton is described as one full of dynamite, the
President being urgent and General Black def.
ant and confident that the President will not
dare disturb him.

that The committee can complete its bill
and its report within q week or ten

with evening sessions in addition as the debate
proceeds. The certainty of the result and the
difficulty of keeping a quorum OF the House to-
gether with little of importance to do, after the
appropriation bills shall have been disposed OF,
and, more than all else, the increasing heat.
give rise to the hope that six or seven weeks
hence. il not sooner. the present session will
find its record made up and it's work done.
Moreover. nineteen formal tariff speeches, by
exact count, have already been delivered in the
Senate.

that II did not occur long before Although
the curoner's Jury has bound Mrs. Scohcld and
the man Ferris over to the grand jury ON the
ground that they were agreed In the
attempt TO get Hatch into the
ScotGld residence the night Hatch
met his death, and that Ferris was in the
house al the time, and that there was a con.
spiracy to blackmail, the action certainly rests
on the slendercst thread of evidence; mere
presumption, in fact In an interview pub
lished In the New York World yesterday vii.
liam 4. Mackay, who has charge Of the
Winchester Flats, where the Sconclls had
apartments up to the 1st of May, said both
Ferris and Hatch were in the habit Of calling
on Mrs. Scofeld, and II was testified to before
the coroner's jury that Mrs. Scoticld at one
time lived at another fiat under the name of
Mrs. Ferris. Ferris and Mrs. Scoicld were
spectators, and both seem To have had u
good deal Of money. Mrs, Scoicld dealt
through Mr.. IIatCh's firm, and In that way the
intimacy between her and Hatch sprang mp.
The fact that Ferris hired n detective
to follow Mrs Scofcld and Hatch the night
they left the restaurant to 90 home Is the most
conclusive evidence that II was simply case
of Jealousy on his part. It was quite natural
that this jealousy should exist. II there had
been conspiracy between Mrs. Scohcld aud
Ferris, why should Ferris have employed tn,
detectives The authorities seem TO be trynI :
to discover some dccp.laid plot TO which the
death of Hatch Is to be made chargeable. The
effort will probably he vain one. The case
looks very simple MIR. Hatch IL n broker on
Wall street. Mrs. Scofcld becomes II custo.
Tcr. She Is brilliant and bad at the same
time like thousands Of other women one may
meet In New York, London, or Paris, and
Hatch becomes infatuated with her. Judging
by the cutlery in New YORK ono would imagine
an incident like this was quite uncommon
there. The very people who make the outcry
know better, The amount of hypocriti
cal Indignation that has been expended
on this affair Is appalling. After going to the
restaurant Hatch went home with Mrs. SEQ
field. II was after midnight, and he knew he
had no business in her house at that time
lie heard the voice of her husband. lie had
been drinking champagne heavily: was ncrv
uus and eNCitablc; rushed out on the roof of
the extension TO escape; jumped 10 catch Il
tree; missed his hold; fell and fractured his
skull on the brick pavement. There Is nothing
whatever unreasonable about this mode of
death, and the one who was most to blame
was unfortunate Mr.. Hatch himself. Ills
death was simply an accident that occurred
in his frantic effort to escape from u compro
missing situation that he ought TO have avoided,
II list very sad, unfortunate affair; but because
one Of the parties is dead Is no reason why he
should not bear his share of the responsibility

Perfccting Arrangements for Enter

II is now estimated that not less than

made by the general committee for the en-

expected that all former meetings of the

ovation to take place here. Never in the
history of the order is there likely to he
such display of uniformed sir knights.

New York. Massachusetts, Vermont, Con-
necticut, Ohio, Illinois, Delaware, Virginia,
and Wisconsin will be in line in fun uni
form. Many Of the celebrated bands Of
music of the country have been engaged for
this grand occasion.
The supreme chief and the lieutenant
general and his staff will make their head
quarters at Wizards, where the Supreme
Castle will locate while in this city.

ccptiOns ever rendered the Supreme Castle
at its annual convOcatiOn there will be given

dertaken in this District, and the committee
Of arrangements have left nothing undonc
to make it q success. The third United
States artillery band will discourse music
during the evening. Prof.J. II. Nermilya and
corps of able assistants will direct the
dancing, and Ernest lie Mour will have
charge of tlfc banquet.
y short time only remains in which to
complete the arrangements for the grand
parade. The route has been laid out, the
formation of the line completed, and yet the
general committee has a great deal of work
to do. Those who intend to participate
have made ample preparations, and every
commandcry will parade in full regulation

WHEN Mr. Scott tries the hrow-bcating,
