A Raid by Kentucky White Caps

A recent dispatch from Marion, Ky, says the White Cap craze has not yet died out in this part of Ken lucky. The latest attack is in Wal nut Grove neighborhood, in the ad- joining county (Caldwell), within 2 q few miles of like scene which took place a short time since. A party of the White Caps rode up to the house of Wm. Parmley and de- manded that a girl living with him should be surrendered up to them. They took the girl to the woods, but no violence was done her. They left, but in a few days gave Farm ley notice to leave the State. This he refused to do. They then re- turned and attempted to take him by force, but his wife and the girl living with him made fight, and during the melee Parmley was se- verely beaten, but Mrs. Parmley succeeded in hitting one of the in- truders under the eye with a poker. The next night they rode up to the house of Wm. Perry, merchant, at Walnut Grove, and attempted to call him out, but he refused to go. They then opened fire on his house with their guns, putting eighty bull lets in it, one of which entered the house and struck Robt. Moore, a young man stopping there for the night, in the thigh. Several arrests have been made, and the parties will be tried this week. Excite ment is intense, and if the right parties are found it will go hard with them.

Pennsylvania and Prohibition.


 A Philadelphia dispatch of the 18th ult., says complete returns show that prohibition has been de feated in Pennsylvania by some thing more than 100000 majority The suffrage amendment, which re- ce!ved 92.000 majority in Philadel- phia, is beaten by more than 1O0,- 1000. It intended to wipe out the payment of a poll tax as qualifi- cation of voter. The defeat of the suffrage amendment has sur prised the politicians. Prohibition leaders continue to threaten the Re publican party for allowing the amendment to be beaten. Chair man Palmer, of the Prohibitionists, says it will be impossible for the Republicans to elect State Treas urer this fall. The liquor men think that the result will hasten the sub- mission of the question in those States where prohibition now pre- vails.

Charged with Murder.

A recent dispatch from Gaines vile, Texas. says a man about fifty years of age, named B. J. Sykes was arrested in the Cnickasaw Ma. ton and brought here by Deputy United States Marshals, charged with murdering an old man named William Knott some time last Jan uary near Purcell. He is also charged with stealing several head of horses, wagon and several hun dred dollars in money from his vic tim. Sykes came via the Indian Territory from Kansas, and met up with Knott, who had just arrived from Oregon, and the two built a cabin on the banks of the South Canadian river for the purpose of stopping there till the time arrived for entering Oklahoma, when each was to go there and take up claims. It was only short time till Knott mysteriouslydisappeared and Sykes was in possession of all his proper ty. which he claimed to have bought from Knott, who, he said, had re- turned to Oregon. Knott's family has been communicated with, and they report that the old man has not been heard of since he arrived at Purcell last December. This in formation caused the officers to in- vestigate the matter, and resulted in the arrest of Sykes, the officers claiming that they have come into possession of evidence to convict him both of the murder of Knott and the theft of the property, he having admitted to the officers, so they say, that he stole portion of the property, and when asked to produce bill of sale for any of it, he could not do so. The officers say they have strong evidence that Knott was murdered and his body sunk in the river and inferred in the quicksand.

OutrageS in Valencia.

It seems that some persons have no regard for the acquired and vest ed rights of our oldest citizens, and propose by threats and violence and the free use of the six shooter to take possession of and hold val, uable properties that have taken some of oldest citizens many years and the expenditure of large sums of money to secure. The following telegram just received by Col. J. Francisco Chaves from Louis Hu- ming, chairman of the board of county commissioners for Valencia county, shows up one of the great est outrages that has been heard of lately:
 Los LUNAs, June 24th.
 J. Francisco Chaves Texans run four thousand cattle on Roman Ortiz's ranch; put pistol to his breast; others run my sheep. One American is on Cow Springs Can l get no protection.
 LOUIS HUNING.
 Col. Chaves states that Roman Ortiz is an old and reliable citizen, and a quiet peaceable man. The ranch is especially valuable for the fine water and grass upon it. Cow Springs, spoken of in the dispatch, is also a very valuable piece of pro- perty. The water on this property is also quite valuable. These prop critics have cost Louis Tuning at least $20,OOO, and he holds a patent for one of the places from the United States. Then Mir. Hu- ming telegrahs that other Texans have scattered his sheep, which Is not very pleasing news to receive. MT. Tuning has about $500,000 in- vested in ranches and cattle and sheep, which he has devoted a life time to obtain. He is liberal, public spirited citizen and is en- titled to receive protection for his property to the fullest extent of the law, which the Citizen hopes he will receive from the proper officials im- mediately, including the courts if necessary. Some persons should also be made to understand that the days of six shooter rule are at an end in New Mexico for all time to oeome.-Albuquerque Citizen.

The Swiss system of slaughter ing cattle seems at once humane and practical. The consular report on dairy farming describes it as a mask of iron which fits the skull closely and is buckled on. In the center is a steel barrel ten inches long in which 3S calibre cartridge is placed. A steel needle projects outside When all is in readiness a tap on the projecting needle with a hammer discharges the cartridge, which pierces the center of the brain and lodges in the spinal marrow, producing instant and painless death. The animal is instantly bled. This method should take the place of the clumsy and brutal methods of our own land.-Ne- braska Farmer.
 We would like to see the writer of the above try to buckle such an arrangement onto the head of a Texas steer.-Omaha Stockman.

Household Recipes.

WASHING CLoTHEs.-Soak the clothes over night in a solution of one part of water-glass in 20 to 30 parts of water at 122 to 14O degrees Fah. In the morning add hot wa ter and manipulate the clothes with stick, drain them off, which will remove nearly all the dirt, and a little scrubbing with soap will com- plete the work. It is advisable to treat the clothes once more with a weak solution of water-glass, say one part of water-glass to 50 parts of water, at temperature of 113 to 122 Fah., then boil them in clear water. Clothes washed in this man. her are brilliantly white, require no bleaching, and besides the process is cheaper and takes less time than the ordinary one with soap and water. Will some of the ladies try this recipe and give us the result of their experience.
 Some of our young ladies who devote much of their spare time in knitting lace would, perhaps, like a recipe to whiten, after it is knit. Here is recipe said to be good: "Iron the lace slightly, then fold it, and sew it in a clean linen bag, and place this for "A hours in pure olive oil. Then boil the bag in a solu- tion of soap and water for fifteen minutes, rinse in lukewarm water, containing a small quantity of starch. Then take the lace from the bag and dry it stretched on pins. Try this young ladies and report progress.

Alkali Jack, the we'll known San ta Fe engineer, says he came as near joining the angels last Sunday as he ever did, says the San Marcial Reporter. He was pulling the east bound freight with No. 62. When between Alameda and Bernalillo a steer disputed the right of way. The steer will never repeat the ope- ration and the 62 is now in the hands of Master Mechanic Hockett for repairs. The engine turned over on it's side and went down a five foot embankment with Jack and his fireman in the cab. They crawled out amidst the steam from the broken pipes badly scared, but fortunately unhurt. The train was in charge of Conductor Connors.

From Durango Via Gallup to Dem
 ing.

There is project on foot to se- cure the building of railroad from
 Durango via Gallup to Deming,
 there to connect the road now about
 to be built to Topolobampo in Mex
 ico. The road will be of immense
 advantage to western New Mexico,
 while it will afford better and a shorter route from Denver and the east to south western and Mex ican trade. The line of the pro- posed road runs through country which does not present many se- rious difficulties to engineering skill, It will moreover be free from the continued losses and interrup- tions in travel which the Santa Fe road now suffers from the frequent overflow and change in course of the Rio Grande. The country through which it lies is rich in coal deposits, immense forests of pine and fir larger than to be found any where south of Washington Terri tory, while along the Tularosa, the San Francisco and the Gila are fine agricultural lands which even now are in part cultivated and yield large crops, but which are inacces- to market. The difficulties which have arisen from the cost of trans portation have almost entirely pre- cluded the development and enjoy mentofthe great mineral advantages which the country is known to pos sess. Capt. Cooney, who is thor oughly familiar with the country, was interviewed by the News-Regis- ter on the subject of the proposed road and expressed entire confidence not only as to the practicability of the plan, but of the financial success of the enterprise, which of course would be the main consideration with capitalists who would embark their money. He glves 1t as his opin- ion that the road should pass through the San Francisco valley to Pleasanton, through Duck Creek valley and the Mangus. The route will be especially enjoyable to tour ists, as the road not only passes through a country of fine mountain scenery, but of archaeological inter- est, for there are to be seen buried cities, ruins, some of which are still five stories high, buildings of dress ed stone, and traces of storage and irrigation reservoirs that were built by a numerous people who inhabit- ed the country many centuries ago.

A northern paper claims that Rio Arriba county was the first to have a justice compel woman to live with her husband, whether she would or no. This is mistake. A Socorro justice ruled several days ago that woman had to live with a man or go to jail, and there was no proof of their marriage forth coming either.-Socorro Chieftain.

4 Plucky HOrSeWOman.

The Philadelphia Inquirer tells this:
 Miss Bessie E. Fitzpatrick, ofSac, ramento, Cal, a most daring horse woman, who was brought up amid i the wild broncos of Texas, met with singular accident in West Park. She was riding a Kentucky 3-year-old mare, just broken to sad dle, in company with her brother, Col. Fitzpatrick, and Miss Frost, of North Seventeenth street, when the mare shied at a peice of paper on the roadside. The girth broke and with enc bound the mare dash ed forward. Miss Fitzpatrick for a moment lost control of the animal and it was away like the wind. AS she found the saddle slipping from nnder her shouted to her brother. Halt yaur horses. Don't follow me, and, leaning forward, grabbed the mare by the ears. The saddle slip ped down, and, with sudden plunge forward, she threw her hand over one eye of the mare, which turned half way, and Miss Kilpat- trick then slid to the ground, still holding the reins. The animal at tempted to run, but the young woman had grabbed the bit by the ring, and by the time her brother and friends reached her she had just quieted the animal and was laughing at the escapade. When asked if she were not afraid she re- piled: If I had been afraid I should have been killed. I only wanted to get my hand over Jennie's eyes, and then 1 knew she would keep quiet. Oh no; there is no use of being afraid The girth was re- fastened and she continued her ride"

Mexico Joins the Congress.

A special to the GlObe-DemocraI
 from the City of Mexico of the 20tE
 ut. says within the past few days several letters have been received ir this city from St. Louis, i'll which considerable concern Is shown al the fact that Mexico's acceptance of the invitation to participate in the Congress of the three Americas to assemble in Washington next October has not yet been made pub lie. The fact Is that the invitation, which was only accepted about two weeks ago, came very near not be- ing accepted at all, owing to infor- mality attending it's transmission.
 It seems that about month ago Secretary Blaine called the atten- tion of Hon. Mattias Romero, Mex ican Minister in Washington, to the fact that the invitation had not been accepted, and asked in friendly and unofficial way if it would not be.
 MT. Romero communicated with his Government, and being inform ed that the invitation had not been transmitted in a formal manner so informed Mr. Blaine.
 Instructions were immediately sent to the new Minister to formal ly extend the invitation, when it was promptly accepted.
 Up to this time the press of Mex ico has devoted very little attention to the Congress, owing to the fact that it's importance is not fully real ized, but the establishment by China of a mint of its own, which will tend to depreciate the value of Mex ican dollars-they being current in that country-and the continued depreciation of silver, is causing much depression. A journal this morning expressed the hope that the Congress of the three Americas will take measures that will tend to give increased value to silver. The idea of a common American coin has long been discussed here and will probably be advised by the Mexican delegates to the Congress of American powers. The announce ment of Mexico's acceptance of the invitation to participate in that Congress, which was only made here to-day, causes much satisfaction, not only among Americans and members of the Liberal party whose friendship for the United States is we'll known, but among Mexicans generally, including those hereto fore unfriendly to Americans.
