Acquitted of a Murder Cbarue.

Brazil. Ind, Jan. l3.-Thomas Fitz-
gerald, marshal of the town of Carbon,
a mining center six miles north of Brazil,
was yesterday acquitted of the charge of
murder by a jury in Clay circuit court.
On Feb. 20, 1888, he shot and killed John
Goeschbaska, an Austrian miner. A gang
OF Austrians had engaged in e brawl on
the streets. When commanded to dis
perse by Fitzgerald they turned upon HIM
with clubs, rocks and knives. He warned
them, but they persisted and he killed
the foremost aggressor. The rest fed.
For this he was bound over to the circuit
court. The Austrians, a colony of whom
had settled at Carbon, in celebrating a
wedding there a few weeks before, had
killed one of their number in the carous-
ais, at another wedding a general fight
ensued, knives, revolvers, clubs and
rocks being freely used. A through mail
train was stoned and fired into. The town
was in terror and the authorities from
Brazil were called upon to make arrests.
Fitzgerald was afterward elected marshal
and he restored law and order, though
prosecuted with this prosecution for
murder.

NEW TRAIN SERVICE.
The Southern Pacific EmBarrasses the
Pioneer Line.

Extensive changes are about to be
made in overland passenger service.
Yesterday the Southern Pacific returned
to the two train a day system, leaving a
pair of Union Pacific trains without con-
nections at Ogden.
Attic Union Pacific offices it is given
out that negotiations looking to changes
are To- pending with eastern lines ter
minating at Omaha. The through four
trains a day service will be continued for
the present, but as announced in these
columns some days ago the company will
make other arrangements. The double
system will only be in operation between
Cheyenne and Omaha. The slow trains
will leave the Nebraska metropolis several
hours ahead of the flyers, but will be over
taken by the latter at this point. Then n
train II day will continue westward in two
sections. OF course there can be only a
train per day from the west.
The outcome OF this new arrangement
is awaited with interest. 1t will probably
tend to increase the importance of Chey-
enne as a railway point.

HANGED by a Mob.

BIRMNaHAM, Ala, Jan. I5.-The
negro, George Meadows, was hung at
Pratt's mines this morning by the mob of
quiet but determined men vho had him
in charge all day yesterday and all last
night. While Mrs. Kellam. the victim,
was almost positive in her Identification
this morning, Just as she was yesterday,
she still asked the mob not to hang him,
as she might possibly be mistaken. There
is little doubt that this was because she
shrank from the responsibility of saying
what she knew would cause certain death,
and the mob 30 regarded it. He pro-
tested innocence to the last.

Washington Notes.

Jan. l0.-lt appear
the conferees on the land grant railway
forfeiture bill, who a few days ago had
closely approached an agreement, arc
drifting apart. At the last meeting the
house conferees showed a disposition to
recur to their original position, and as a
result of subsequent conferences between
them and certain of their fellow members
interested IN the measure in conference, it
is learned they have been strengthened in
their disposition to insist upon the adop-
ton of the bill.
Petitions have been made to the treas
urY department by transportation compa-
MES for a revision of the regulations pro-
hibiting the transportation of Chinese
laborers across the territory OF the United
States, and arguments have been submit
ted to show there is nothing in either the
restriction act of May 6, 1882, or the ex-
clusion act of 1888 to authorize such pro
hihition
The most important items in the naval
appropriation bill which carries 500, 900
600, are those providing for the construc-
ton of a dynamite cruiser to cost $50
600, on the plan of the Vesuvius, and a
$500 ton cruising monitor to cost 81, 500
900, on the plan originated by Represen-
.ative Thomas of Illinois.
The president to day transmitted to
both houses of congress a report from
the secretary of state with later CORES
pondepce since Dec. 81. 1888, exhibiting
the progress of the disturbance in Samoa
up to the present date. In the message
the president says the information thus
laid before congress il of much impor
lance, since it has relation to the preser-
walton Of American interests and the pro-
lection of American citizens and their
property and to restore tranquility and to
secure the safety of our citizens through
negotiations n agreement with Great
Britain and Germany which, with our
" government, constitute the treaty
powers interested in Samoan peace and
quiet. An attempt has been made to de-
line more clearly the point which these
powers shall assume in the government
of that country, while at the same time
its autonomy has been insisted upon.
These negotiations were at one time inter-
rupted by such action on the part of the
Germany government as appeared to be
inconsistent with their further contin-
uance. Germany, however. still as
serts as from the first she has
done, that she has no desire or intention
to oyerturn the native Samoan govern
ment or to ignore our treaty rights, and
she still invites our government to Join
her In restoring peace and duict, but thus
Tar her proposition on the subject seems to
lead to such a preponderence of German
power in Samoa as was never contem-
plated by the United States and is incon-
sistent with any prior agreement or under
standing. While her recent conduct as
between native warning factions gives rise
to the suspicion that she is not content
with a neutral position. Acting under
the restraints which our constitution and
lows have placed upon the executive
power, we have insisted that the autonomy
and independence of Samoa should be
scrupulously preserved according to the
treaty made with Samoa by the powers
named and other agree ments and under
standings with each other.

Street N urder,

STEVENS POINT, Wis, Jan. l5.-The
coroner jury held an i inquest yesterday
in the case of DR.. Myers, who was killed
on the street Friday by Patrick Grifiths,
his father-in law. A verdict in accord
ance with the facts was rendered. A
number of witnesses saw the shot fired,
and Griffiths freely admitted that he did
the shooting. On hearing that his vic
tim was dead Grifiths said he was per-
fectly satisfied; that it was the most salts
factory thing he had done in a long time.
de does not show any signs of orse.
His SON., who was arrested at the same
time with his father, was released from
custody yesterday, there being no evil
dence to implicate him in any way.
Young GriiiJhs and Meyers were talking
together on the sidewalk when the elder
Grifhths came up behind and fired. Grit
hths was arraigned before Judge Stumpt
this afternoon and pleaded not guiltylto
the charge of murder, Judge Gate APP
bearing as his attorney. Bail was fixed
by County Judge Kingsbury at 5 1000.
NJ. W adleigh of this city, and James
Meehan of Milwaukee have already
signed the bond, and others have stated
that they will come TO Grifiths' assist
ance. The deceased, who was an excel
lent surgeon, came here from St. Louis
four or five years ago, but during his resi-
dence In Stevens Point his reputation has
not been an envious one.

COngratuIatOry.

Cheyenne is in luck. The city council
has closed a contract with the Union Pa
ciic road for the removal of the shops
from Omaha to Cheyenne. the city agree
ing to build two viaducts costing perhaps
$50, 900 and furnishing water free of cost.
About 400 men will be employed this
year. and when the shops are completed
about ! 200 hands. The company have
four years. in which to complete the shops,
and the total cost will be about $500, 600.
The securing of this important addition
to Cheyenne's industries is largely due to
the personal efforts of +. Il. Warren.
We rejoice with Cheyenne, because we
like to sec all the towns of the territory
prosper, aud it adds Just that much to the
taxable wealth and general prosperity of
the territory.

Bismarck Denounoes the Liberal Press

BERLIN, Jan. l5.-Bismarck was pre-
sent at the meeting of the reichstag to-
day. He made a speech, in which he
disparaged the reports published concern
ing the British Niger company. Herbert
Bismarck said the matter was being ar
ranged between the English and German
governments. Richter criticized the in.
vestigation by the government for the
suppression of the slave trade in Africa.
Bismarck in reply denounced the lack of
patriotism of the Liberal press. which was
seeking to embarass the policy of the
fatherland for the benefit of foreigners.

If on the right side and lower part of the

When that region is sore and congested,
pokes seem fieudish. Look at a mans
countenance ere o prod him under the
ribs II his skin and eyeballs have a sal
low tinge, you may infer also that his
tongue is furred, his breath apt to be

THEY WERE CONVINCED.
Contractor Sharp Returns from a
Visit to Lumber Merchants.
Masons Working on the South Wall
of the New Machine Shop.
Superiority of Wyoming Stone Over
the Colorado Article.

Contractor Sharp yesterday returned
from a visit to the Portland, Ore, lumber
merchants, but will leave for the East to-
day or Tomorrow. He succeeded in con-
vincing the Western men that the great
timbers and thousands OF feet of lumber
ordered for the new shops here were
needed at once, and the material will be
forwarded without further delay.
The stone nasons, although they have
been at work only a few days, have made
quite a showing at the new machine shop.
The foundation for the south wall has
reached the level of the ground, and
work is Just starting on the east and west
ends. The wall now completed is a pretty
piece OF work. 1t is smooth and regular
and sohd as rock and Louisville cement
can make it.
Col. Mcconnell, the giant foreman of
carpenters, has not been idle since his ar
rival last Sunday. He has constructed
numerous concrete boxes, and put up "
small frame buildings for office and store
room. Others are yet to be erected.
A steam pile driver for use in prepar-
ing Tor the foundation of the mammoth
smoke stack for the machine shops will
probably arrive from Denver to-day.
This is a powerful and perfect machine,
and there will doubtless be many specta-
tors about when work with it is COM
menced.
Even when one has the figures, the
sight of the material being used in shop
construction here is surprising. Rub BILE
and broken stone arrives by the train load
almost daily, and nearly as rapidly disap-
pears. Two car loads of cement are used
daily, and lumber for preliminary work is
constantly being received by the carload.
The very successful test of the Iron
Mountain broken stone is highly s~atisfac-
tory all around, and complimentary to the
judgement of Mr.. Pullman. the general
foreman Of the work, and Mr.. Delany,
the owner of the quarry, and Mr.. Muir
ray, the lessee and contractor. While
quite a quantity OF the Fort Collins
broken stone has been condemned and
thrown to the ground from the cars,
every pound of the native rock is dumped
into the concrete boxes and thence into
the foundation trenches.
The force of men employed on the
shops has been steadily increased during
the past few days, until now there are
over fifty names on the pay rolls. Stone
masons are given places SO rapidly as they
appear, and bricklayers from abroad are
expected daily. The men will all be paid
this evening.
