"GooD BoYs-Last week we had an article advising that Bloody Bill Jackson and Terrible Tom Andrews De taken in charge by the vigilance committee for their numerous crimes. Yesterday these gentle men made us a personal call, and we must say We Were surprised. When they entered the door we jumped for our war-club, suPposing they had come to attack Us, but both removed their hats, presented us with . bouquet of beautiful wild flowers and then subscribed for the Kicker and paid a year ir advance. After that cigars were brought out and wo had a talk. It did not take oyer quarter of an hour to find that we had been doing two gentle men great injustice: Neither of them has ever shot, stabbed or club bed person exceptin self-defense, and both are sons of old families in the east and graduated from Yale.
 "The Kicker desires to apologize. We beg pardon. We shall endeav- CT to make amends by urging these two gentlemen to stand as candida tes for the state senate, and if nom- mated the Kicker will do it's best to elect them. Au revJir, gents Drop in and see us again "

Columbian Complications.

New York, May 12.-In February,
1885, while an insurrection was in
progress in the United States OF Col
umbia, Colonel Benz. A. Gitau came
to this country with $88, 900, SUBJ
scribed by the rebels, with which to
purchase arms and munitions. He
placed the funds in the hands of
Santiago Perez Triana & Co.,
brokers. The Colonel commissioned
the steamer City of Mexico and load
ed her with arms. The vessel was
seized by this Government. Then
Gitau bought the steamer Ar
den. Hes was about to send
her down to his country when
he learned that the rebels had been
defeated Then he ~deEnapded the
balance of the money from Triaua,
who refused to give it up. The Co.
lumbian Government heard of these
funds and commenced a suit both
against Gitau and Triana. This ac-
ton came to trial in the Supreme
Court yesterday. The plaintiff claims
to be entitled to all the funds that re-
main.
Gitau denies that he has any money
and that of the money held by Triana
& Co., he is entitled to 25 per cent.
for his expenses and salary. The
case was adjourned until Friday.

southern PacIfic Wreck.

YUMA, A. t., May 12.-The South
ern Pacific west-bound passenger was
badly wrecked near Gila Bend, be-
tween and 6 o'clock this morning,
by jumping the track while passing
over the new trestle bridge, though
the engineer stopped the train within
its length. The emigrant smoking
cars, day coach and one sleeping car
were detached from the other part OF
the train and fell from the trestle to
the ground, four or five feet down,
turning completely over and landing
bottom side up. Mrs. Good, of Eng
land, an emigrant passenger, en- route
to Garvahza, CAL, was instantly
killed, leaving husband and three
small children, who were travelling
with her. Another traveller sprained
or dislocated his leg, and a China
mans leg was badly hurt. But few
other passengers sustained injuries
outside of scalp wounds and bruises.
The accident was chiefly confined to
immigrant passengers, there being
but few in the other cars. The cars
mentioned were completely wrecked.
It is thought the track will be cleared
before night.

sippi Floods.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
New York, May 12.-The crowd at
the Garden after midnight was one Of
the largest since the walk began-es-
timated at fully ten thousand specta-
tors.
The excitement was intense caused
by the fact that tbe Mexican had sue
ceeded in getting within two and a
half miles of Littlewood. 1t was plain,
however, that this wonderful. work
was telling on the fleet.footed
Mexican. Shortly after midnigh,
he commenced to stagger around the
track like drunken man. He retired
to his room only to be driven out
again by his relentless trainers.
Again he staggered and reeled along
until to the amazement OF the multi
tude he fell to the ground. The poor
fellow got up only to fall again.
Dozens of voices cried out, sHe has
been drugged |" This his trainer
stoutly denied, and he was taken off
the track amid the groans OF the
spectators.
The score at 8 O'Clock was: Little
wood 569, Guerrero 552, Herty 531,
Noremac 500. Golden 489, Hughes
474, Campana 342.
At 8 :35 A M. Littlewood had beaten
Albert's record of 571 miles by 25
minutes, and was only a mile and
four laps behind the best record.
At 10 O'Clock Littlewood tied the
best record for the 130th hour, which
is Hazards, OF 572 miles and $50
yards.
At IL o'clock Littlewood was one
lap ahead OF the record and bids fair
to beat the record of the cham pion.
The score was: Littlewood 581, Guer
zero Sol. Herty Sal, Noremac sos,
Golden 496, Hughes 4S5, Canpana
354.
At4P. NJ. the score was Littlewood
593, Guerrero 568, Herty 551, Nore-
mac 514, Golden sos, Hughes 495,
Campana 1888.
At 5 O'Clock the score was Little
wood 600, Guerrero SIG, Herty 559.
Noremac 500, Golden 531, Hughes
495. Campana 1868.
At 8 o'clock the score was Little
wood 6O21s, Herty $50, Golden Sic,
Campana 81, Guerrero 5781s, Nore-
mac 523, Hughes 495.
After Littlewood's trainer an
nounced at 6 80 that his man would
not heat the record because of split
oe, there was very little interest in the
struggle. The sorry-looking pedes-
trians had nothing to consssd for and
merely continued walking for ''gate. -
Littlewood came out occasion
ally and made a lap or two,
but was evidently suffering intensely.
At ten O'Clock the race was declared
closed. Tie scores of those who made
525 miles or more and who are entitled
to share of the gate receipts are
Littlewood, Gil Guerrero, $50, Hertz,
573; Noremac, 533; Golden, 529.
The receipts for the week were SIS, 900,
oil which Littlewood receives about
81 900, and Guerrero about 81 300.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 12.-In the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Conference
to-day the subject OF a union with the
Canadian Church came up. At the
close of speeches pro and con. a se-
ries Of resolutions were read declar-
ing the union consummAted and all
the conditions fulfilled, and that
the General Conferences will support
it as strongly as possible. When the
vote came to be taken BY yeas and
nays many voters desired to explain
their position in favor Of the union,
but not the clause which said all con-
ditions have been fulfilled. The aud
ience was in a continuous uproar, and
owing to the number of explanations
made, the vote proceeded slowly.
When Bishop Pane was called, he
said the union was based on deccp-
tion, suppression and absolute lying,
and voted against it. This created a
sensation, and some hisses were
heard. All the rest of the Bishops
voted yea, and the resolutions were
adOpted.

and ministers have increased in num-
Der. The liquor traffic has grown
less and is now confined entirely ito
the Dutch settlers. The suppression
of vice is due to the work OF Miss
Amanda Smith. He next gave his
