THE MORIER MATTER
The Bazaine Letter Said to be
a Forgery.
B0ULANGISTs ARE VICTORIOUS.
Bondholders-rhe Senate De-
bates Excite ul-Will.

BERLIN, January 6-The Imperial
tribune declined to proceed against
Professor Geffechen because it was i'm
possible to prove hewas conscious OF the
reasonable character of his publica-
ton
The Berlin Post accuses Sir E. Monier
of forgery. 1t says: 1.-The wonderful
iargan of the Bazaine letter, bristling
with Anglicisms and socisms. cannot
possibly have been written by French
man.
The KoInische Zeitung, which first
published the original charges against
Morier, intimates that the letter con-
veys the impression it was written by an
Englishman, that only the signature is
Bazaine's.
Vassische Zeitunq says the new accu-
sation against Morier Is one of such eX-
ceeding enormity that it can only fill
the German readers with feeling OF
profound shame. Unless proof of the
Justice is Immediately rendered, the
charge can hardly fail to have an al
most infuriating effect upon foreigners.
The Weiser Zeitung deplores the pal
pable amnesty displayed in the pub
LEGATION of the charge.
The Journal DIES Debdts, of Paris, pub
fishes q letter from General Carceron,
proving that the fighting at Metz in 1870
began the day before August 10th, the
date on which Major Defines represents
General Bazaine AS saying he received
Morier's intimation of the approach OF
the Germans Similar statements are
published by the Vienna papers. Most
of the Vienna papers, and also the St.
Petersburg press, side with Morler.

THE ELECTIONS.
In the Department of Seine, to-day,
General Montaudon, Boulangist. was
elected member of the Chamber OF
Deputies, by a majority of 1889. In
the Department of Charant Inferinwre,
NJ. Duport, Boulsngist, was elected by
majority of 8 ,449 over the Republican
candidate.
At the Repu blican congress to-day,
at which Clemencean was present, 234
of the $40 persons attending the meet
ing voted for jacques, president of the
Council of Teine, as a candidate for the
vacant Paris seat in the Chamber OF
| Deputies. Jacques was then pro-
claimed, amid applause, the sole candi-
date against General Boulanger.
| THE CANAL.
The Paris Petit Journal states the
Panama Canal bondholders have ad
dressed a letter to DeLesseps, offering
him the chairmanship of the new canal
company to be formed by shareholders
in the present company. The Journal
saws the new company will have q
capital of several million francs and
will take over the concern from the
old Panama company.
The debate in the American Senate
on the Panama Canal excites ill-wil
here. The friends of DeLesseps are
desperate. When DeLesseps in 1S8i
asked the American Minister, General
Noyes, for an explicit statement of tht
views of the American government
General Noyes replied that while b.
thought the Americans viewed thu
project with suspicion, he was unable
to obtain official statements from gov

CHICAGO, January 6.-Mrs. Parsons,
the Anarchist, to-day made another
violent speech, similar to the one she
delivered last Sunday, and this time, as
before she was unmolested by the po-
lice. Her audience met in Waverly
Hall, near the police headquarters, and
was gathering of Socialists whose
purposes were discussed in a paper on
"Salyation From Poverty" Mrs. Par
sons said: Il am revolutionist, and
believe all means are justifiable to get
rid of the present industrial slavery.
The capitalists are our masters, who
nullify the ballot. A revolution by
force must come, and the sooner it
comes the quicker your enemies will be
down. Behind the ballot must be Win
chester rifles" Concluding, the dark
skinned speaker vehemently declared :
For one, l am going to follow the
truth, if it takes me behind the prison
bars, and if l have to die for it. :"

DALLAS, TEX. July friday even
ing the express handlers placed IN the
express car of the north bound Houston
and Texas Central a long box which
every one near by easily recognized as a
"gone before. -
The address on the box was "Mrs. ] e.
MCGOWAN, Dewitt, Mo. -
The depot loiterers did not even know
or care what the address was, or who was
in it, or where it was going.
They simply thought that some poor
traveller on the road of life, being weary
had lain down to rest, and that there
was nothing unusual about it at all.
1t developed to-day, however, that the
plain box contained all that was mortal
of Mrs. Helen Nay Maggart, aged nine
teen.
About a year ago the name of Mrs.
Maggart was Helen May McGowan and
she lived in Dewitt, Mo.
About that time, her parents refusing
their consent to her marriage with Alex
ander Maggart, she ran away with him,
Farmers Branch, on the Dallas and
Wichita road a few miles from this city.
: Last Wednesday Mrs Maggart died in
the agonies of childbirth and on Thursday
was buried in the little graveyard at
Farmers Branch, e. c.. Smith & Bro.
undertakers of this city, attending to the
burial.
Thursday night Mrs. MCGOWAN, the
mother, who had come from Missouri to
be with her daughter during the last mo-
ments, informed Mr.. Smith that she
wanted her daughters body taken up
and embalmed for shipment TO Missouri,
where it was to be finally laid away il the
family burying ground in Dewitt.
Friday morning Mr. Smith s force ,un-
der his direction, went to work and had
almost uncovered the coffin when Alex
ander Maggart came upon the scene in
rage and ordered the men to cease their
work.
Poor Mrs. MCGOWAN was notified of the
turn that matters had taken, and she
also came upon the scene, and in scald-
ing tears implored Maggart not to inter-
fere ;, that she wanted to lay her darling
by the side of her little sisters and
brothers, where she could plant flowers
on her grave and go there TO weep her
heart away when sorrow overwhelmed
her.
Maggart then astounded the party by
saying to Mrs. MCGOWAN: 'You can
take her if you will give me $40. -
Undertaken Smith demonstrated with
him, but he emphasized his position by
saying that he would die on the spot be-
fore he would let his wife's body go for
less than $40.
The poor, heart-broken mother gave
her unworthy son-in-law the amount he
demanded.
The undertakers finished their work,
and Friday evening Mrs. MCGOWAN took
the north-bound Central for Missouri
with her dead child.

KILRAIN,s WHEREABOUTS.

He Strikes Chicago Broke and Is Sent East
by ParsOn Davies.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 14.-Jake Kilrain
arrived in Chicago to-day at $3.50 q. M.
at the Polk street depot, having boarded
the train near Indianapolis about 10
o. CLOCK Saturday night. He was accom-
panied by Johnny Murphy. Not q
friendly face was visible at the
depot when they arrived, and the rain
poured down in torrents as they
looked about them for q carriage. They
separated from Charley Mitchell twenty
four hours before, with the understand
ing that they would meet him at "Par-
SOM Davies place in Chicago as soon as
possible. This they did to throw the
Indiana sleuth hounds off their track, the
party being so large as to attract
the attention of the scores of re-
ward-seeking Hoosiers and deputy
sheriffs. They first drove to Parson g
saloon on Clark street, but found it
closed. They then repaired to his resi-
dence, PA Huron street. 1t was then
about O'Clock. The amiable Parson
was still in the land of Nod, dreaming,
perhaps, of how he had saved $1,000 by
not betting on his friend, whom
he at one time believed could
edo John L. After repeated tugs at
the door bell the pair were admitted and
for the first time in nearly a week were
safe from arrest. Their faces fairly
beamed with Joy at the bare idea of
meeting a friend. Their subsequent
movements are best told in Parson g own
words:
''They were a sorry looking pair when
they arrived, their faces unshaven and
their boots heavy with Indiana mud.
Their clothes, too, were far from at
tractive. They needed a good Samari-
tan, and that's me. Well, I took the
boys in and filed them up. They wished
to leave for the East as soon as possible
so L arranged to get them off during the
afternoon. Mitchell had arrived Satur-
day night and the three agreed to again
risk their liberty by travelling together.
l bought tickets for them and they left
for the East over the Pennsylvania road
at 3:15p. m.
Parsen also related incidentally that
the party was "broke. He said he
loaned Kilrain S100.
flake has got plenty of stuff, - said
Parson - but he did not happen to have
it with him., It is very unhandy, you
know, to be travelling about the country
broke. 1t IS hard work besides.
edo you think they will reaoh the East
without further trouble?'' he was asked.
"'TheY will that. I've fixed every
thing. 1t is not generally known by
what route they left. -
''Did Kilrain say what had become of
his hacker, Pony Moore?''
"He said that Pony was still. in the
woods. but he expected him to reach the
East Within day or two.
;. Notwithstanding the many conflicting
',ruInors John L. Sullivan was in Chicago
all day to-day.

WACO, TEX. July 14.-Sheriff Ford
and Justice Jack Harrison went out to
Robinson to-day and found the body of
Henry DAVIS hanging from a DostOak
tree and his body riddled with bullets.
Upon his breast was pinned piece of
paper which had been torn from vest
pocket memorandum book and con-
tanned the following message.
Take Warning!
Executed By i5O men for seven attempts to rape
white women.
The body was cut down and brought to
Waco and buried in the First street
cemetery. Davis entered the house of a
prominent cattleman on Thursday night,
and this act aroused the ehivalric courage
of the neighbors who at once pursued
him and disposed of the case without
judge or jury. Crowds of people from
all over the county visited the scene of
the hanging. Davis was hanging about
five feet from the ground, mile south
east of Robinson in few feet of negro
church. The negro was caught by Bill
Burke, Eden Stovall and Bud GOOde,
who were bringing him to Waco to jail.
They were met by cavalry of men
riding white horses and having red hand
kerchiefs tied over their faces, who
seized Davis by main force and carried
him bodily to the place of execution.
Before he was hung he made q full vol
untary confession of all his previous at
tempts of this kind, two of which oo-
Cured in this county. He stated that
he was actuated by mania for outrages
of this kind.

MOUNT VERNON, TEX, July 12.-The
Alliance. of this county (Franklin) had
a meeting at their, lodge yesterday and
appointed a committee to see our mer-
chants in regard to buying bagging. The
alliance pledged themselves to use only
cotton bagging, and ask the merchants
to procure it for them. The merchants
met the committee to-day at the court
house and talked over the matter. 1t
was a very interesting meeting. The
merchants pledged themselves to bring
on both cotton and jute bagging, as some
would prefer the jute, but they would
keep a supply of cotton i it could be
had, andSthey would also use their in
1iuence to get as many farmers as posi-
bic to use the cotton. They argue by
this they will create demand for low

Trials of the Sports.

CHICAGO, Ill, July I4.-Late last
night Parson Davies received word that
a man desired earnestly to see him in
bar room. The sporting man descended
and the bar-keeper pointed out a dilap-
ida ted looking individual in a corner as
the solicitious person. The man bore the
conventional air of a tramp. His clothes
were almost in tatters, his straw hat al
most crownless, the cob pipe in his
mouth leaving traces of age, and the
bingham umbrella which he bore in his
hand badly smash ed.
''There were probably ten or fifteen
men in the room who know Charley
Mitchell, - said Parson Davies tonight,
''Yet no one recognized the English
champion in the above attire.
Yet it was Charley Mitchell, and the
tale of his vlcissitudes is as interesting as
it is Iudicrous. The first alarm was
sounded at Seymour where the Kilrain

drove overland to thwart

them Of the impending danger of arrest
and warned them to fee. From this time
they were in the woods twenty hours,
wandering IN almost every direction but
the right one and growing frantic at the
frequent alarm at the proximity of
their pursuers. Finally they reached
an obscure place known as Brady s
station, and here ai.long council was
held. It was decided that Mitchell
should disguise himself, break away
from the rest of the crowd, go to Indian
apolis and from thence to some hospita-
BILE refuge, writing his comrades how to
proceed in his wake. He selected his
disguise, chartered cart and horse.

after numberless vicissitudes and mis-
