about the alleged rupture of Booth and
Modjesks first appeared. on account. as
the Herald put it, OF "ungentlemanly and
unchivalrous" conduct upon the part of
Mr.. Booth. The tale WAS an invention
out of whole cloth. The Mirror says that
the Herald discharged the offending re-
porter, but correctly says that the city
editor who permitted the insertion oil
such scandalous untruth should have
been discharged also, and rigid rule
established insuring decency and reli-
ability in the columns of the Herald in
the future. The public ia 80 accustomed
to such sensational stories, set afoat as
advertising lodges by inferior theatrical
people, that it was at first disposed to
look upon this in the same light. which
was gross outrage upon both the Illus

unwarrantably. The revival Of the

KET rLE JACK.
A story of Wholesale LynchinE
in wyoming.


ST.. LOUIS, December 1.-The Rspub.
Iic's special from Cheyenne, Wyoming,
says: A report comes to the effect that
the people Of the Big Horn Basin, john
son county, have broken up Kettle
Jacks gang OF thieves and cut-throats by
lynching eleven of them and driving the
remainder out of the country. Kettle
Jack and his companions arrived in that
region about year ago. After being re-
inforced by number of desperate char
aelers, they began to plunder the settlers.
Farmer Jones and two SONS pursued
the gang and made fight for some
of their stolen property. They we're
some 500 in number, lived in mortal
terror of Kettle Jacks band. Jack made
q captive of, and forced into marriage,
the daughter of leading citizen. The

the number of 100, fully armed, they
made descent on Kcttls's castle. An
old howitzer Was planted on an eleva--
tion commanding the block fort, and it's
deadly charges Of scrap iron were sent
into the enemy's bresstworks, killing.
several desperadoes. The latter were
seized with conservation and made
disorderly retreat. They were fol-
lowed by the settlers, and running
fight was kept up for three days. Sew
eral men on either side were shot from
their horses. AS fast as an outlaw was
captured he was hanged, until the set

the third day, and returned home. Ae-
counts differ as to whether or not Kettle

IT IS devoutly to be hoped that it will
be a long time before Los Angeles shall
again be treated to q spectacle like the
Garrett trial. For concentrated, inspis.
sated putridity it is hard to recall lis
equal. Sodom and Gomorrah smelled
pretty rank to high heaven, but unless
there have been stacks upon stacks OF
perjury Los Angeles can see the twin
cities OF the plain and 60 them one better.
We are afraid that we were somewhat
hasty in disputing the allegation of the
Rev. Sam Jones that Los Angeles is the
wickedest city. But then we can console
ourselves with the reflection that it is
imported wickedness. Few people know
how narrowly this city escaped having
Garrett for Chief of Police.

EASTERN HAPPENINGS.
Nervousness of the People
of Johnstown.
THE OPERA HOUSE HORROR.
Silc0tt Thought to Have Sailed for
Chili-WhOlesale Lynehing
in Wyoming.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD,
JoHNsTowN, December 1.-THE acei-
dent at the opera house last night lie an
awful illustration of the highly nervous
condition of a large number of people in
this unfortunate city. Under ordinary
circumstances, and before the food,
there would have been no catastrophe.
There has been disposition to draw
morbid conclusions from the Come
maugh calamity, and it has fastened
itself upon women. young folks and
many excitable middle-aged people. It
has been no uncommon thing to hear
such remarks as: "Well, wonder what
will happen next?" "We have had a
food, now look out for ffe." "Johns-
town is under CURSE" There is no ex-
aggsration in saying there has been an
underlined but unmistakable feeling of
iorebooing of coming i'll, and this is
what led to the slaughter last night.
Those who first started out went from
curiosity to see where the fire WIS, but
they did SO excitedly, and the instant
effect was a panic. The bell which
struck the alarm WAS 30 close to the
theater that it seemed to be
sounding in the building itself,
and never was confusion more
precipitate and awful among human
beings. The two crowds fought against
each other at the theater door, and ter
ribie was the result. A woman said this
afternoon che saw two men actually stop
to fight, when both of them had an OPP
portunity to escape. With an oath one
of them said: ''It ia my life or yours !"
and he knocked his antagonist down in
q furious manner.
No more deaths have resulted, the
number of dead as before stated being.
ten. twenty-five are seriously hurt,
some of whom will likely die. Probably
fifty others sustained Slight injuries.
The funerals Of the victims will take
place Friday.
i Doctors say the most remarkable fes-
ture of the accident is that not single
bone was broken, either of those killed
or injured. Those known to be killed are
George Slonaker, Lizzie Claycomb, John
Miller (colored), Isaac Foller, Mrs West
ley Burns, Clara Burns, George Harner,
Mrs. John w. Nestar, Eddie Blugler.
The cause of death in every instance was
the crushing at the doorway leading to
the street, in the frantic efforts of the
people to get out of the building.

His products command a remunsrative
market, and he finds that that kind oi
farming pays. 1t Is astonishing how
many Los Angeles farmers buy their
vegetables, eggs, poultry, pork and meat
Their insane devotion to barley puts
them at the mercy of the middlemen
and brings prices down to zero. With
the ability to raise from six to eight crops
of alfalfa yearly, the farmer often buys
the butter and cheese and pork con
sumed in his household. That has beer
the practice for years. 1t is pleasant tt
be able to chronicle the fact that there
is beginning to be change in this stupid

that fine property is admirably adapted
to receive and utilize as fertilizer the
sewage of Los Angeles. If Col. Baker
is agreeable, this would afford an easy

A HERALD reporter who visited Mon
royia yesterday heard nothing there but
talk about the robbsry of Mrs. A. b.
Tomlinson, by the alleged preacher, w.
Fl. Packard. 1t transpires that Packard,
though at one time connected with the
Holiness church, had long since been
expelled. He has wife, from whom he
separated some years ago, and, it is
said, some little time since was only pre-
vented from marrying q wealthy young
lady in this city by the arrival of his
father at that interesting point in the
ceremony where the minister asks
If there are any present who know good
reason why the ceremony should not pro-
ceed. He was a very sanctimonious
'alker, prayed and sang in public, and
figured pretty we'll until after his depart
ure from town, when numerous little
irregularities began to be talked about.
From numerous stories told the reporter
it appears that Packard, besides the
watch which he sold here in town, car
ried away q handsome chain, gold pen
and pair of gold elseye. buttone
belonging to Mrs. Tomlinson and numar-
GUS other small sums Of money borrowed
from acquaintances. just previous to his
departure. Mrs. Tomlinson will be in

That Ce..ralixing Programm

That CenaraliKing Programme.
A little clarity of vision would assist
the esteemed Tribune in its consideration
of public questions. 1t seems to think
that because the general government has
frequently donated lands belonging to
the nation within the limits of certain
States, to those States, for educational
purposes, it is therefore justified in tax
ing the people of Maine to educate those
in Illinois, for instance. We select Illi-
nois, not becsuse,that great State mecca
any outside help to educate her own
people, bat because the principle is ex-
actly the same. The general govern
ment has precisely as much right to in
terfere in educational matters in Illinois
as in Florida, and in both cases the sue.
cessful assertion OF the right would be an
offensive and centralizing paternalism.
When the United States government
donated certain lands owned by it in the
State of California to this Commonwealth,
that action in no sense involved an at
tack upon our reserved rights. On the
contrary, it recognized them by extend
ing our State jurisdiction. When it comes
10 collecting taxes from California to pay
for educating pickaninnies in Louisiana,
however, it is horse Of different color.
There is not only no wars ant for it in the
Constitution, bat it is in direct contra.
vention OF the letter and spirit Of that
instrument. Is is part of feeble-forcible
policy Of intermeddling upon the part Of
the President which, fortunately, he has
no power to carry ont. To their honor
be 1t said that when the bribe of the
Blair bill was rendered to the Southern
members of Congress their respect for
the Constitution Of the United States led
most of them to spurn it with disdain.
There is little danger Of Congress at
tempting to carry out the centrslizing
and paternal notions of Harrison, and
even if a majority could be drummed ur
in support of his Bourbon Federalis;
ideas even the Rep ublican Suprem e
Court would set the unlawful enactments
aside. The most obsolete of all these
Bourbon vagaries is that the people Of
the States would submit to having their
electoral machinery taken away from
them. The spectre Of the "bloody shirt
will no more avail to lead partisans to a
violation of the spirit Of our institutions.
and the Presidents attempt to evoke it
has fallen as fat as dishwater. There
was enough and to spare of that kind Of
thing in the years following the war.
