RetributiOn.

Many years ago, Judge d. S. Terry
shot and killed Judge Broderick in a
duel in California. From that time to
this, Judge Terry has been a prominent
figure in California history, and has been
connected with number of sensational
events. The last before the final ending
of his turbulent life, was his appearance
as counsel for Sarah Althea Hill, the al
legged wife of the late Senator Sharon of
that State. After a protracted trial, the
case running the gauntlet of the Courts,
it was decided in favor of the Sen
ator, and the judgment was that there
had never been contract for marriage
or marriage. After this decision, Judge
Terry married Miss Hill. Judge Field
sat in the case, and sensational scene
occurred in Court, and some violent
demonstrations on the part of Terry and
his client. The end of the contention
occurred ON the 18th at Lathrop, Cali
fornia. Judge Field and Deputy Mar
shall Maggie We're taking a meal at the de-
pot restaurant. While sitting at the ta-
BILE side by side, Judge Terry and his
wife entered. Observing Judge Field,
Mrs. Terry went back to the car, and
Judge Terry walked up to Judge Field
and leaning over him slapped him in the
face. Instantly Maggie rose and shot
Terry through the heart, he dying with
out uttering a word. Mrs. Terry became
frantically wild, bending over her hus-
band for moment and then running to
the train where Field and Maggie had
taken refuge in a closed car, begging for
their arrest and the privilege of slap
ping Judge Field. The police officer
boarded the train, and it made off with
all the parties, the officer, however, hay
ing in his custody the murderer. Maggie
was with the Justice as body guard.
by order of Attorney General Miller, to
protect him against Terry and his wife,
who had threatened his life
These tragic episodes illustrate how
ones sins will surely find him out, and
work out their terrible retribution.
Broderick's blood has cried aloud for
vengeance for 10, these many years, and
the fateful answer came in the sharp
crack of Nagle's pistol
There seems to be a reaction in public
feeling growing out of the shooting of
Judge Terry by United States Marshall
Maggie for slapping Justice Field in the
face. The demand is made for the
speedy trial of the Justice, and purse
of $4,000 was speedily raised in one town
to aid in his prosecution. Maggie will be
tried, and the Department of Justice at
Washington is preparing to defend him.
masmuch as he was acting as a body
guard to Judge Field, under orders from
the Attorney General, when he shot
Terry. After a while, murder will not
be considered a crime, if the precedent
in this case is followed up.

party in sentiment, and in order to hold
the party together this platform had to
be adopted. Were it not for Mahone's

who was, twelve or thirteen years ago
a belle at the same hotel. She was a
brilliant and beautiful woman then, and
was much sought after. She had mag
nificent diamonds and costumes and was
driven about in luxurious victorias Now
she wears coarse, homemade clothes and
her face is b:onzed by exposure to the
weather. But it is a beautiful face yet,
though the expression is worn and sad.
This woman lives down the beach
about four miles, in a tumble-down
house.

this week, recognized her when she was
described to him. He said her name was
Louise Gay Her father was Capt Gay,
formerly of Richmond, Va. He was a
wealthy man and Louise was his only
child. Just before the war he removed
to the north, making his home near Buff
falo. He and his daughter used to visit
all the summer resorts. She was accom-
pllshed and intellectual. Many flatter-
ing offers OF marriage were made to her.
One day she disappeared from the hotel
here. The head waiter, colored man,
was also missing. They had gone away
together. When Capt. Gay learned Of
it he was crazy with rage. He said he
would kill his daughter if he ever met
her. He died a few months later, leav-
ing his fortune so that his daughter
could never be benefited bv it. Lou

4 PROTEST FROM THE CAMBRIA.
A Good Day for the Work Of the
ReSCuerS.

JOHNsTOwN, PA, June 15.-Mayor
Phillips dynamiters have had JohnstOwn
in a state of nervous terror all day, and
this evening General Manager John Full
ton, Of the Cambria Iron Company, die
tated forcibIe protest to Gov. Beaver,
stating that the mills and offices of the
company were being ruined by the blasts;
that Adjutant-General Hastings had paid
no attention to two requests for its discOn
tinuance, and that the State would be
held responsible for any further damage
done. The message was filed in the tele-
graph office, with the instructions that it
be put upon the wire as soon as another
blast was fired.
In the meantime Adjutant General
Hastings had gained communication with
Mayor Phillips, and an order to discon-
tinue the blasting went into effect. The
message did not 90 TO the Governor, but
General Manager Phillips showed it to the
Associated Press representative and said
Il do not hold General Hastings response
BILE for this dynsmiting 1t is the height
of nonsense, however, to use such heavy
blasts so near valuable buildings. My
superintendent reports that the damp
walls of the mills are giving away under
the shock. Buildings in Johnstown are
in too delicate condition to be trihed with
by dynsmiters.
Mayor Phillip has been engaged since
yesterday in blowing out the wreckage in
the channel of the COnemsugh above the
PENNSYLVANIA R4ilrOad store bridge. He
was anxious to have passage for the wa
ter by this evening and to that end put in
a five hundred pound blast Of dynamite at
noon. The blast was placed under two
buildings, one Ofwhich vas lying upon the
other, and both of them covered with logs,
The explosion was terrific, and one log,
large enough for main mast, was hurled
500 feet in the air.
The next blast, not being placed so
deep, was a 400 pounder. This one did
all the damage. The report wes awful,
and the strongest houses in the city trem-
bled like leaves. All the glass was blown
out of the windows Of the Odd Fellows
Hall, the rear wall of the half-wrecked
Catholic church fell upon the B. & o.
tracks, blocking them, chimneys ratified
down all about, and dishes were broken
in houses in Kernville, half a mile away.
So far as known no persons we're injured.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 15.-When
Commissioner Tanner was installed in
charge of the Pension Office, he appointed
Squires, Republican of New York, con-
idential clerk. Squires was a rabid par
tizNn, and proclaimed hims.f in favor of
bouncing all Democrats. 1t appears that
he had motive other than political for
desiring to be surrounded by none but Re-
publicans for yesterday Squires was trans
ferred to the Land Office 1t now leake
out that he was engaged in speculation
of his own. He had made an
arrangement with Lemon, of this city,
pension agent, and another good Repubi-
can to make all of Lemons coses special,
so they would go right through Lemon
contributed literally to the Republican
campaign fund and perhaps feels that ths
party owes him a chance to make the
money back. Commissioner Tanner ad-
mits that Squires did make few c.,
special which did 10. merit such partislity,
bu. says there were not many
However, he does not offer any
means of getting at the facts and it is said
Squires and Lemon were doing whole
sale businC g, and it had already become
known to pension claimants that if they
wanted a quick decision Lemon VIZ the
man for them. To-day Commi- iOner
Tanner appointed his daughter cOnfden-
tial clerk at 81, 800 per year. 1t is net
prelumed she will do much of the work
but another clerk can be detailed for it and

FOR DAWSON'S LIFE.
The Slayer Of the Charleston Editor Called TO Answer
for His Murder-Colorsd Men on

CHARLESTON, S. @, June 15.-The
most exciting murder trial in the history
of South Carolina begins on Monday.
During its progress business will be prac-

will be thronged the whole time of the
trial.
The trial that will excite the great in-
terest is that of DR.. T. B. Mellow, charged
with the murder of Cap. F. w. Dawson,
the late editor of the NeCs and Courier
The interest in this trial is not by any
means confined to South Carolina, or
even the Southern States Throughout
the whole country itl proceedings will be
watched with keen interest. The people
will look to it for some ides OF the value OF
human life in this State.
Many men have been murdered IN this
State, but never before has any crime so
greatly aroused the people. This hornble
tragedy has set them to thinking, and on the
street corners and in the village stores csn be
found groups of men inquiring snxiously:
"Wlat lS q man : lllb WI vi III OO~eH W.

something must be done. Things have
ran along in this way so long now that is
a common saying that no white man will
be hanged in this State. Horrible muir
ders are committed and cunning lawyers
cheat ths gallows out of their rightful
prey. It is no wonder that the people are
aroused and demanding that the law have

Immense Quantities OF Lumber Ready to

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, June 15.-The
Little Kanawha is again on the rise, and
reports from above state that the rise is a
very beneficial one, having come in time
in the day time, and in snch manner to
have given the timber and tie men an op-
pOrtuniey to get out the great masses of
material piled and bunched along the
banks. The lowlands have, however, been
flooded and many crops of corn and grass
destroyed.
The steamers we're already doing a
splendid business, owing to the flood Of q
few days ago, in collecting and towing the
logs ard other stuff set saoat, but the rise
in the past two or three days as increased
the volume to so great an extent that there
will be all the work they want for some
time to come The e'timated amount of
logs out of the small creeks above Burning
Springs are $4,000 and 50, 900 ties.
Burns Bros. and Hoffman have doomed,
it is said, not less than 40, 900 logs. West
Fork will contribute 80. 600 logs and Co.
600 ties; Spruce Greek 20, 600 ties and TO-
900 logs; Reedy, 10000 ties and 1000
logs; Hughes River, 10000 ties and 600
logs; Tygart, Slate and Water creeks, 4O,-
900 ties and 4, 600 logs
This is but a partial estimate, as it is
still impc 1sible to hear from a number of
the small creeks, which are known 10 be
iUll of timber, ties, etc. Commodore Pa
den has about 1000 lies in the river and
along the banks, destined for the Pitts
burg market A great quantity of this
material now in the Kanawhs, in fact,
most of it, will finally reach Cincinnati
