TWO PRISONERS AT TIE COUNTY
JAIL GUT THEIR LEG IRONS
FOR AN EASY REST.

For several days past Jailer Furlons
and the TRUSTEES at the county Jail have
heard noises which led them TO believe
that Clark and Morton were making
efforts to free themselves of their le4
irons. Yesterday Mr.. FurlonS went tc
the back window, and. placing two bar
rels, one on top of the other, mounted
the top, and pecred through the window,
which is about fifteen feet from the
ground. From this place he had clear
view OF the corridor, and could see that
every window but the one he was at was
guarded by prisoners, and Il Chinaman
was Watching the stairway. Morton was
busilv engaged at cutting away the iron
bar that fastened one OF his legs to that
Of Clark, the man charged with stealing
i boat. The jailrr had been at the win
dow but moment, when the Chinaman,
who was guarding the stairway, noticed
him, and prepared TO warn his fellow
prisoners. The jailer held up his finger
to the moon eyed son o. the wash tub,
and he did not dare call out. FurIong
then left his post, and, summoning Dep
uty Sheriff Jones, the men were brought
up stairs and the irons examined. It
was found that the bar on Morton's le.
was cut entirely through and fastened
with Il string, and work had already COM
menced on Clark's irons. Clark stated
to the deputy that he had nothing to do
with the affair, that Morton had engi-
neered it, and if he wanted TO do such a
thing he had no way 20 stop it. \ care
ful search of the cells was made, and sew
it Is probable that by tomorrow the men
would have been breathing the air OF
freedom. Sheriff Delanty has had the
cell from which the men tried to cut out
OF two weeks ago repaired, 4 piece
OF square timber has been driven through
the floor into the ground. and the top
covered with boiler iron. 1t does not
seem possible that the men could escape
from it. There are other ways though
by which such clever crooks as those
now confined in the jail could soon get
ont. The present condition OF the place
is disgrace to any county, and is merely
a temptation for men to get out. The at
tention of the grand jury should be called
to the ma ter, and they should suggest
to the county commissioners the advisa-
bility OF providing the sheriff with the
proper means OF keeping his prisoners.
Just now it is a source OF great deal of
worriment on the part of the sheriff and
his officers.

Assurances From Chief Wages that They
Shall Retain the Land.
CALDWELL, KANSAS March l9-Tbt
semI-anuual meeting OF the Chsroke.
Strip Live Stock Association was called
to order this afternoon 10y the president
H Ewing. J. B. Wages, chief OF the
| Cherokees, made al address in which he
| assured the mem bers Of the association
! that they need have no fear IN regard to
retaining possession OF the land, that
they had leased it for five years and there
was nothing that could remove them as
long as they paid their rent. After the
speech an opportunity was given all those
desiring to ask the chief questions.
Among the questions asked was his
opinion in regards to the Cherokee COM
mission, to which he replied that 1t
will amount to nothing, all they will do
is 10 come down here and have good
time. We will not sell for one dollar
and twenty-five cents per acre. Another
question asked was what they would do
il the soldiers attempted to remove them,
TO which Waves replied: 1t will be an
easy matter to stop that, if the soldiers
attempt to put You out, all that will be
necessary is to serve an injunction on
them. Another asked what will we do
with boomers? Wages replied: We will
take care of the boomers, you stay with
us and we will stay with you. At the
conclusion of Wages speech, Snyder,
wealthy Kansas City cattle man, made a
motion that the chief he elected an hon
orary member of the association,
which was carried without dissenting
vote. President Heines then presented
the situation as being the most favorable
in the history OF the association. To-mor-
row the regular election OF officers takes
place Notwithstanding the brave front
put on by the leaders, good ranges can
be bought for great deal less than a

FOURTEEN SAILORS ARRESTED
Charged With Insubordination.

Fourteen sailors were yesterday brought
to the city from Hadlock by Deputy
Sheriff Jones, to stand trial on the charge
of having refused to obey the orders of
the captain, and for having impeded nav
igatiOn. The sailors, Edward Notion, J.
4. Bennett, Nicholas Jamomes, Christian
Boyle, w. ]. Williams, ]. Langley, L. J.
Andrews, II. Luch, D. Brance, n. Cava-
naugh, J. Whitzdown, S. Shellona, Thos.
Watt, C. V. Rothburn, signed for duty
on the American ship Gen. Mcclellan,
now loading with lumber at Hadlock
The men state that they signed for the
trip on Sunday, and as Sunday is not
legal day for business, the articles were
illegal.
Deputy Shipping Commissioner Brown
made an official oath that the men were
signed before him, and he permitted the
date to be changed to the 18th. On that
day the vessel was out at sea- The depu-
ty commissioner made 4 statement of
the case as published here, and the Judge
decided that the men could not be held.
The seamen state that they were signed
on board the Mcclellan, in the presence
of a boarding house runner, and the
articles were taken TO the deputy ship
ping commissioner, who certified that
the men had signed when they were sober,
ETC., whereas he had not seen the men,
and knew nothing about the condition OF
them.
The attorneys consulted with each
other, and at once decided to dismiss the
case.
The luggage belonging to the men is
still on the vessel but they positively re-
fused to return for the reason that they
have been badly abused by the first
mate and before they were allowed to
make charges against him before the
proper authorities he was permitted to
resign and leave the county. One of
the sailors is badly ruptured and an
other has bad case of the mumps yet
both were refused medical treatment on
the vessel. w. j. Williams the sailor
who is ruptured received his Injuries on
the vessel. If such is the case he has a
good case against the ship. The attor-
ney for the crew was sam Fl. Wildly and
for the vessel Messrs. Smith & Hastings.

r. McFee associate justice of the su-
preme court, in place of Meyer, lives at

intended to challenge the conduct OF the
government in placing Irish officials,
paid by the public, at the service of the
Times, in connection with that papers
charges against Irish members of the
house. He also announced that on the
vote for Attorney-General Webster's
salary he should ask what state services
the encouragement had rendered dur
ing the last nine months, and why any
salary SHOULD be paid to him. Gladstone
denied the right of Goschen, chancellor
Of the exchequer, to calculate beforehand
what the Times should be allowed for
discussion of the vote. He denied the
right OF the government to take away the
right OF the house TO the time necessary
for full discussion. Harcourt, In op-
posing the motion of w. II. Smith, the

Business of the Z. B. & O. Railroad.

BosTOS, Mass, March 19.-The an
nual report of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad for 1888 shows, in
comparison with 1877, gross earnings, n
decrease of $3,7S7 900: expenses in
creased $2,7S5, 600: net earnings de-
creased $6,571 900; dividends decreased
s., ,261 900.
The directors say "that after many
prosperous years, the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy Co. has experienced
years of serious reverses. After paying
fixed charges, including 100000 con-
tributed to sinking fund, and divi-
dend of five per cent. upon the capital
stock, the books show deficiency for
the year of $4,331 900, which it has
been necessary to take from the accumu-
lated surplus of the company. The re-
port attributes this to the engineers
strike, and to the operation of the inter

ro-pay,s Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-One of the
matters considered at the meeting of the
cabinet to-day was the case of an Hi
nois postmaster, whose removal was
asked by an Illinois congressman. be-
cause of the postmaster's political ac-
tivity. 1t was admitted by the congress
man that that Office was well managed,
and that the matter was called to the at
tention of the cabinet for report, that
their action might constitute a precedent
hereafter. Post Master General Wan
amaker said tonight that he didn't
feel at liberty to talk about what took
place at the cabinet meeting. There is
reason to believe, however, the result
was adverse to the wishes of Illinois
Congressman, but it is not known
whether or not any fixed line Of action
in cases of this kind was determined
upon.

teen, by shooting them with shot gun,
the charge of shot entering at the left
side of the face OF the latter A boy
named Johnny King, hearing the shot,
came toward the house and was met by
Baidle, who held out the gun and asked
the boy to shoot him, but the boy re-
fused, telling him to conc to the house
and get his dinner. Raidle then took the
boys horse and rode three miles to a
lower ranch, entered the kitchen of the
house, and, with 4 pistol, shot Mrs. Hos
kins just below the left temple, and then
shot himself in the right temple. Mrs.
Hoskins was ironing clothes at the time
Four bodies were found at the two
ranches, lying at right angles, forming a
cross. The tragedy resulted from 4 quar-
rel about the division of some property,
and family troubles. Mrs. Raile was in
Austin at the time of the shooting, and
is distracted at the news. Johnny King
followed Raidle on horseback to the
lower ranch, and found the bodies in the
kitchen. He Immediately rode into

ner, sheriff and district attorney went
out and brought the bodies into town
about eleven O'Clock last night. The in
quest was held to-day, and the news
spread like wildfre over the country
The whole town is shocked, as such
wholesale shooting has never before Oc-
curred in the history of the county. The
funeral will occur tomorrow. Raidle
has always borne a good character among
his neighbors.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Th0 presi-
dent to-day withdrew faom the senate
the nomination of Eugene Schuyler, to
be assistant secretary of state, which
was made on the Sd inst. 1t is learned
that the committee on Foreign Relations,
after careful consideration asked that the
nomination be withdrawn, coupling the
request, it is understood, with an intima-
tion, that otherwise it would be reported
adversely. This action was taken on ac-
count of the assault made by Schuyler in
his book entitled American Diplomacy"
upon Elihu B. Washburn, rejecting
upon his official conduct, while secre-
tary of state, together with reflections
upon the administration OF President
Grant. The senate, it is also said, took
such action on account of the charges
affecting Schuyler's personal conduct in
