col ONFl ETCHER,S TRIAL

OMAHA, Neb.. July 30.-Mrs. Mcfarland,
of Philadelphia, is by no means proud Of
her distinguished military brother-in-law
Lieutenant Colonel Fletcher, eX-command-
ant at Fort Omaha. She took the
stand before the court martial at
the fort this morning and told what
time she had of it when
she visited her sister at the fort last June.
The colonel, She said, accused his wife of
infid lily repeatedly in her presence, and
abused her after most ungallant and I'M
soldierly fashion. The colonefs lawyer
had all the reporters dismissed from the
room, aud then asked Mrs. Mcfarland
whether she had not been unduly intimate
with some Omaha citizens during her stay
here. The pretty little woman's big blue
eyes blazed with Indignation as she re
piled that her conduct had been above
suspicion.

WARlNG AGAINST MORMONS.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 30.-Two hun
dred citizens Of the Twenty third district
of Wilson county have declared war against
the Mormons, who have for some time past
been operating in that section. The work
Of the elders was begun a few years ago,
and in time church was built, In this
edifice about hundred people, most of
whom were of the ignorant class. met and
worshipped. Being thus encouraged,
the elders continued their labor,
and have since been coming and
going, inducing quite a number Of
converts to take up their residence in
Utah.
J. NJ. Brown, United States commits
sioner, who was in the city today, said
that Rev. j. d. Jennings and Rufe, two
magistrates, gave a dinner recently and
extended an invitation to the people round
about to hear Rev. John Barrett preach
and to give him protection. Trou-
bic was expected, but the Nor
mon converts did not attend.
1t is said that ali in the audience, number
ing 200 persons, being asked how many
would help to drive the Mormons from the
country, stepped u and agreed to assist
in the work. Mr.. Brown said that Mr..
Barrett had notified the Mormons that
they must not pass his house and that
other people had forbidden them to travel
the road. The people seem to be earnest,
and it is possible serious trouble will en-
sue unless the Mormons leave or discOn-
tinue their meetings.

FEATHERwEIGHTs FIGHT.
Twenty-Seven Rounds Without Advantage
and the Fight Postponed.

SAN FRANCISCO CAL, July 30.-A fight
to finish for purse of 81, 500, $500 to the
loser, took place at the rooms of the Cali
fornia Athletic club tonight between
Frank Murphy, the featherweight cham
plon of England, and Billy Murphy, the
featherweight champion OF Australia.
At $40 p. m. the men entered the ring
The Australian is about two inches the
taller. The men weighed 1871 pounds
each. Billy Murphy was seconded by Pad
dy German and Billy Armstrong, while
Martin Murphy and Patsy Hogan took
care of Frank Murphy. Hiram Cook as
usual acted as referee.
Time was called at 9:27. Frank led with
left handler in the Austrian's stomach.
An interchange of blows followed, Franks
left finding Billy's ear, and the latter's
right reaching the Englishman's wind.
Billy then got in three singles on different
parts of Franks body. For the next eight
rounds Frank fought rather cautiously
but received several rib-roasters, giving
in return quite as many head and neck
blows to his opponent, who fought princi-
pally for the body. In the eleventh and
twelfth rounds the fighting was not hard
nor the punishment severe.
In the fourteenth round the Englishman
assumed the aggressive and some fierce
lighting followed and right and left hand
SWldgs alternated with savage upper cuts
and clinches. Both men fought themselves
groggy and thunderous applause followed
the close of the round.
In the fifteenth round Frank came up
fresher and his blows had more strength.
A left hand swing, however, pushed him
to the floor. Upon rising the Australian
daZed him with a terrific right handler that
sent him to grass again.
In the sixteenth round Billy came up ap-
parently intending to butt his man out of
the ring with his head, but warning
from the referee and some telling upper
cuts caused him to quit. He then led tor
Franks ear, but the Englishnan stayed
with him and nearly knocked the Aus
tralian from his feet with a right hand
swing.
In the next round the men spared for
wind but freshened up in the eighteenth
and nineteenth and let off blow for blow
like two bantams. Billy usually got the
worst of it as he had his head too low. In
the last part of the nineteenth the Eng
llshman caught him on his hip and landed
Billy heavily on his back.
Nothing was done till the twenty second
round. when Frank led, falling short, and
received singer on the cheek that hoored
him.
Both men fought shy after that and
things looked like a draw. AT the end of
the twenty seventh round the referee
stepped into the ring and said it was ap
parent that the men could not go on. He
did not know what was the matter with
them but the club never had and never
would declare a draw. He therefore called
the fight postponed to give the directors
an opportunity to see what Was the matter
with the men.

secure an entrance without payment of the
dues, and that the priest had legal right

TENANTS DEFENSE LEAGUE.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 30.-John P. Sutton
secretary of the Irish national league, was
interviewed in reference to new plan to
De tried IN Ireland. He says that the con-
tlnued immigration from Ireland must be
checked by some method. As things are
now the peasantry are leaving as fast as
they can, Ireland is an agricultural
country, and must remain so. Smith Bar
ry, landlord, is the author of combi-
nation of landlords as against the tenants,
by which they have been able
to successfully resist the attempts of the
tenants to secure better terms. Being
rich they are able to carry cases into the
courts and appeal them until their tenants
must fail of accomplishing their demands.
Now the friends of Ireland have advised
combination by the tenants and the Ten
ants Defense League has been form
ed. 1t is to be operated upon
the labor union plan, all tenants
and other members of the league will
contribute a stipulated sum to aid any
tenant who may be having difficulty with
his landlord, and by this means enable
him TO succeed, if possible. Heretofore"
said Mr.. Sutton, "the campaign has been
a sklrmish in comparison to the onslaught
to be made under this new plan. think

THE VICTIM OLA BASE CONSPIRACY.
CHICAGO, July 30.-The Times says: -.
W. Smith, the man who attempted to kill
himself in Judge McConnell's court room
Saturday night. when he was found guilty
of criminal assault upon little girl and
sentenced to nine years in the peniten-
tiary, will be free man when he is able
to leave his bed in the county hospital.
Since the sensational episode in the court
room, when, with the blood streaming
from a cut over his heart, he protested his
innocence, Judge McConnelly has been in
yestigating the rumors that there was
conspiracy to send Judge Smith to prison.
Yesterday afternoon he sent for the pris-
oner's wife and had long and earnest in
terview with her in the criminal court
building When Mrs. Smith emerged
from the judges room she was weeping
bitterly"
Continuing, the Times states that Mrs.
Smith desired divorce, and testified
against her husband in order that his con-
viction might give her grounds for the
of the marriage contract.
Stricken with remorse at his attempted
suicide she now confesses her pertidy
to Judge Mcconnell, and the latter will

spiracy.

SPRINGFIELD, No, July 30.-James H.
Faunce and his wife were arrested and
lodged in Jail here tonight on the charge
of poisoning to death their 10-year-old
son, Luther, about two weeks ago. The

the poison in his coffee, from which
he died the same day. His older
brother, William, also drank of the poi
soned coffee, and became very sick, but re-
covered, and the coroner's jury returned a

the poison to kill both his step-sons SO
