POLITICAL OUTRAGES.

One of the most important and delicate
questions with which the next admins
tration will have to deal is the matter OF
providing against political outrages in
the south, providing some means by
which a republican, white or black, may
have secured to him in safety privilege OF
expressing his political sentiments. 1t is
not expected that it can be accomplished
at once, but with tragedies as that re.
corded below must and will be provided
against.
General Powell Clayton and Judge
Clayton, brothers of John M. Clayton,
who was ussasinated in Arkansas on the
night OF January 20, have furnished the
following statement to the public: THAT
| the public may understand the circum-
| stances leading up to apd eliminating in
| the assassination of our brother, John M
Clayton, we desire, over our own sigma
| lures, to make the following statement
of facts: All agree that this was a politi.
| cal assassination. 1t will be, therefor

Cowardly Shooting Railroad Contractor.

LOUISVILLE. KY, June 24.-The particu-
lars of triple tragedy in Bell county have
just been received here. George Norwood,
of Birmingham, Ala. contractor on the
Cumberland Valley railroad extension,
was murdered at his camp, near Cumber-
land Gap, by an Italian known as Toney
CravassO. T0ney and his brother were
bakers at the south end of the Cumberland
gap tunnel and had sold bread to some of
NorwOod's men, and had requested him to
hold the mems pay till they could collect
their bills. Norwood told them that he
couldn't withhold the mems pay, except on
garnishment. and directed the Italians to a
magistrate. On Saturday they called on
Norwood and asked If he had their money.
He told them he did not have any money
for them, and walked ont of the commits
sary store and entered cabin adjoining.
Just as he stepped in the door Toney, who
had followed him. shot him in the back.
killing him almost instantly. The Italians
escaped to the woods. but they were capt

They were brought back to Kentucky,
yesterday, and were being conducted to
the Pineville Jail when Judge lynch took
charge of them and gave them trial. re-

CHARMED BY A SNAKE.
A Little Girl Found by Her Mother with a
Large RattleSnake i'm Her Lap.

DENNIsoN, Tex, June 24.-Mr. II. p. He'd
den. who resides southwest of Dennison,
brought to the city yesterday his little
child Sallie to be treated for snake bite.
On Friday morning the little girl left the
house with pail on her arm to gather
blackberries near Stone Spring. The child
was expected to return home soon, as the
family was to leave early to pass the day
with neighbor. The child being absent
something over an hour, Mrs. Hedden pro-
ceeded to the spring. The child was not
there. and the mother called her name
loudly several times. Receiving no re-
sponse. she left the spring and walked into
the blackberry patch to hunt up the child.
Passing through the patch she saw a scene
which made her almost faint with horror.
The child was seated on a rock and in her
carrying the snake. whose head was slightly
elevated and moving to and fro. Some
times the snakes head would almost touch
the lips of the child, who pushed it away
without appearing to anger the snake. The
child was so completely under the spell of
mother, who screamed so loudly that her
husband heard her quarter of mile dis
tant, and hurried to the scene.
When Mr.. Hedden appeared the snake
placed itself in an attitude of battle and
the air vibrated with the noise of the rat
ties. Mr.. Hedden advanced upon the snake,
the child fell back as if in a swoon and the
snake struck it on the thumb of the right
hand. and then sprang at Hedden, who
killed it with a stone. Hedden sucked the
wound, which he is confident saved the life
of the little girl. Saleratus was also ap-
piled TO the wound. The hand and arm of
the little girl were but very little swollen
when she was brought to the city for treat
ment.

MYSTERIOUS INSURANCE CASE.
A Man Insured for $32, 900, Supposed to Have
Been Killed Dehg Ago, IsArrested in Arizona.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 24-About nine
years ago John w. Hillman, of Lawrence,
Kan, who had secured insurance on his
life for $4,000, went to Indian Terri
tory with several companions. Soon
word came back that he was dead.
he having been accidently shot by
one of his comrades. The body was
brought to Lawrence. but many people re-
fused to believe that it was Hillman's.
This reached the ears of the insurance
companies, and when the alleged widow
presented the policies the companies
refused to pay them, alleging that the
body was that of young man
who had been murdered by Hill
man and co.conspirators. The latter
was taken into court. and three long and
sensational trials were had, the latest one
last winter, when the State Supreme Court
decided in favor of Mrs. Hillman, or Mrs.
Smith, as she had become by marriage to
Leavenworth travelling man.
Eight wears ago j. Miller, of Lawrence,
Kan, became possessed with the CONVICTION
that Hiliman is still living, and as he had
money set out TO find him. Several men
were arrested at his instigation, but each
proved not to be the man. On May % last,
lust as the New York Life Insurance Com.
pany was about to pay its policy, WORD
came from Miller that he had found Hill
man. and had caused his arrest at Tomb
stone, A. T. Miller stated that Hillman
had been living i'm Sonora. Mexico. since he
disanpeared. Detective Franklin, of the
santa Fe system. went to Tombstone and
seemed to identify the prisoner. Some time
ago the man was brought secretly to
identity him. Last Tuesday word came
that he had escaped, and every one Isll sup
man. Last night the case became more
mysterious than ever. as an attorney OF one
of the insurance companies sent word 10
several papers that Hillman had been re-
captured. and was to be taken to Topeka
to-day. No one has seen him, however. and
the matter still stands the greatest lnsur-
ance INV stery of the day.
