Why the Reporter Talked.

From the birmingham Age.
VI. b. Morton, one of the Age-Heraid staff of
reporters. and withal young gentleman brim
full of energy and wide awake to the duties of
his calling, was the only reporter on the
ground when the citizens of Pratt mines VS.
tied their wrath upon Geo. Meadows, the mr.
derer of Willie Kellum. In this connection a
gentleman from Pratt mines relates a good
story at the expense of Mr.. Morton.
1t appears that the enterprising reporter
joined the party when Meadows was first
brought in from the woods, where he had been
secreted during the night by his guards. When
he found, from the temper of the crowd that a
with the leaders and made every effort to have
the lynching postponed until evening, in order,
as he claimed, that Mrs. Kelum might be given
opportunity of seeing him and giving q final
decision as to his identity. So persistently did
he prosecute his endeayors that his actions
finally aroused the opposition of the crowd. and
III q few moments threats against the reporter
were almost as frequent as those directed
against the prisoner.
While Meadows was standing at the foot of the
tree and the rope was being passed over the
limb the reporter, no longer able to contain
himself. made a last and most eloquent appeal
to the vast crowd. beseeching them. again and
again, to at least deter the hanging until noon.
Deaf to his every entreaty, the determined
men about him finally appeared to lose all
patience with the ''red-headed son-of-a-guu,' -
as one of their number ''sizedr him up. yell

raised. The dangling end of the rope for an

Immediately followed.
I'VE all felt mighty bad for while about the
way Morton went back on us and took up for

Guiding his narrative. But We took back all

learned that the burned cuss was only talking

see his red head a-bobbing yet and his jaw a
awful for law and order. You can tell him
though. that Pratt Mines forgives him and will
be glad TO see him often"

TRUSTED PIGOrT IMPLICITLY.
extraordinary Credulity of the Man
Who Bought the Parneu Letters.

When the Parnell commission met in Lon
don yesterday morning the courtroom and
| its precincts were crowded. Mr.. Parnen was
present
Mr.. Houston, secretary of the Irish royal and
patriotic union, was further cross-examined.
He said he destroyed Pigott's letters to him in
accordance with an agreement made between
them.
He did notconsider that knowledge of the
men from whom the letters were obtained was
important in connection with the question OF
their genuineness. He accepted them without
securing any means of testing Pigott's state
ment In the event of their genuineness being
questioned, because he understood that ii was
useless to attempt to make a complete case,
SELF
He had no means whatever of testing any
part of Piggott's story, which he re-
garded as probable, especially as
the newspaper reports of the dispute between
MIR. Parnell and the American extremists to
some extent confirmed Piggotts story that the
letters we're left in bag found in a room in
Paris. When the witness visited Paris he had
no specimens of either MIR. Parnells or Mr..
Egans writing. He accepted the letters solely
on Pigott's word. eff" said the witness
.Pigott had been needy or fraudulent enough
to attempt to commit perjury, my action would
have assisted him, but do not admit that
he was either. Pigotts interviews with Mr..
Labouchere shook my faith in him, and, there
fore, my mind was not easy until he had signed
the sworn declaration"
Richard Pigott, a well-dressed and benevo-
lent looking man. apparently about sixty years
of age, was then called. He testified that he was
proprietor of the Fenian organ, The Irisl.mdn,
in 1855. He belonged to the Supreme Council,
+. b. All the members of the Amnesty associa-
ton in 1870 were Fenians. Parnell belonged,
and about 1871 Bigger, Barry, Harris, Neary.
Mullett and Murphy belonged to the supreme
council of the j. r. d. Witness belonged to
the ]. II. b until August 1881. He was not an
active member. He detailed the negotiations
in 1879 by which the 1rishman and the Flag of
ireland were sold to a company in which Par
nell and Egan were shareholders. He did not
doubt that the league provided the money.
Later. Egan said he proposed to render the
lives of the English officials in England not
worth an hours purchase, and, replying to a
question. said that of course Parnell was aware
of this proposal.
In a conversation ut Folkestone about the
Parnell commission yesterday, Mr.. Gladstone
said: I'VE are now ON the eve of exploding
vast fabrication of iniquity."
Mr.. Joseph X. Cox, nationalist member of
parliament. made a similar remark at Maid
stone last night. In the course of speech he
said that startling disclosures were about to be
made before the Parnell commission which
would completely upset the Times case.

How He Broke the News.

You say that I'm pale and fustered. and

wouldn't shiver if you had TO .'break the news"

''Oh heaven, she cried, my husband! They've
taken my love from me. and the way that she

man to see; $50 brave, So kind and SO

like my tongue was frozon or glued to my

Is Marriage a Failure?

From the Toledo Blade
1t is when man goes home and finds no sup
per, the fire out and his wife out, too.
1t is when a man promises to take his wife
to the theater, and changes his mind after she
is dressed.
1t is when a woman has to wait up till 2

to come home.
1t is when man buys fine Cuba cigars for
himself instead of pretty things for his wife.
1t is when a wife insists on having her mother

An Honest Witness.

From the SOmeryiIle journal.
Charles Theodore Russell was examining a
witness in a Cambridge court one day this
week. The question was about the size of GER
tain footprints left by horse in sandy soil.
How large we're the prints?" asked the
learned counsel. 'Were they as large as my
hand?" holding up his hand for the witness to
see.
''Oh. no." said the witness honestly. 'It was
just an ordinary hoof."
Then Mr.. Russell had to suspend the exam
nation while everybody laughed.

The Oklahoma Trouble.

4 THREAT TO ESTABLISH AN INDEPENDENT STATE.
A telegram from Kansas City, No., February
| 10, says: The fate of Oklahoma is watched in
southern and southwestern Kansas with a
great deal Of interest II the territory OF
Oklahoma is created by the present Congress
there will be heavy movement in that direc.
ton during the next three or four months.
The Kansas people are especially well posted
on the geography Of No Mans Land, and they
are as familiar with its well-watered valleys
and meadow lands, its advantages for
the agriculturist and the stock grower,
as they are with the county in which
they reside. 1t is the impression among the
promoters Of the movement describd below
that one cause of the tardy action of the
federal government in organizing a territory,
which shall include No Mans Land, is a strong
doubt as to the title of the United States to
| that territory. careful research by lawyers
| competent to judge such matters reveals the
fact that No Mans Land does not belong to the
United States by right of purchase; that it has
never been coded to the United States govern
ment, and that it is exactly what its name i'm
pines. 1t certainly cannot now be acquired by
right of discovery, and the question is how
shall the title to it ever become vested in the
government.
1t is now certain that in case the bill does
not become law at an early day there will be
stirring times across the border this spring. II
is the intention of those who have shaped the
policy of the provisional government to go a
step further if the federal authorities do not
act promptly. In short, they will adopt a
federal constitution, elect a president and two
branches of the legislature to correspond to
the Senate and House, will adopt flag, a
name, and declare No Mans Land an inde-
pendent state, after which they will negotiate
for admission to the Union as Texas did.
There are now $4,000 citizens in the neutral
strip. which is 165 miles long and 25 miles wide,
and they demand some law under which they
can acquire title to real estate and other prop
erty, and secure protection the same as that
enjoyed by citizens of other states and terrific
ries. The coming summer will see the design
of establishing an Independent state carried
out if Congress does not do something and do
it quickly. 1t will be. it is claimed. no rebel
lion, but simply an act of self-defense which il
now considered unavoidable.
