saints Have a Hard Time.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August Especial
Telegram to The BEE.I-The Mormon
troubles in Wilson county looked very
threatening Sunday, but are believed to
have temporarily quieted down now. The
Mormons are on the alert and the anti
Mormon party grows more indignant at
every revelation" Just now, however, the
elders have hidden under fear of tar and
feathers. In preaching to one congregation
Sunday, one of the elders told his sympa-
thizers that this country belonged TO them;
that they were preparing to take IL by force
II necessary, and would have II IL they had
to take blood out Of every man in this
country; that the church was preparing an
army for that purpose "For," said he,
the blood Of Joseph Smith must be avenged,
and God commands us TO overthrow this
government for its oppression of the saints.
The great WINE press of his wrath has not
yet been trodden. We are TO tread it, and
tread IL we will until we have pressed out
the last drop of blood and the national and
personal existence of this accursed people,"
One sympathizer to whom this was spoken
became alarmed at the excitement in the
community and repeated the elders's
words. Thereupon, Rev. John Barrett insti-
tuted "Peter the Hermit crusade against
the Mormons. The Mormons succeeded in
proseiyting some Of his flock, and preached
Sunday at Friendship TO crowd. He had q

denounces the system as deceptive and rotten,
and the priests and many of the ayman as a

was an active participant in the first Nor
man revival asserts that the elders deceived
him. and henceforth he is an american and

NOT READY FOR PLANTS.
why the Park Commission Refuse

Why the Park Commission Refused
the WoOdman Collection.
For over a month past the park com
missioners have been considering propo-
eition from Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Woodman to
donate to the city their valuable collection of
tropical plants Mr.. Lininger strongly
urged that the offer be accepted, while Judge
Lake thought the collection taken at the
present time would be something of white
elephant on the commissions hands DIR.
Miller thought, and so expressed himself,
that the plants would be very valuable
addition TO one of the parks but was not
certain that the commission would care to
erect q house for their accommodation, either
now or next spring.
Messrs. Patt and Mi,ard didn't favor tax
ing the plants, thinking that the money for a
conservatory would be spent in another way
to better advantage.
At the last meeting of the commissioners
the matter came to a focus Architect Cleve-
land had, Mr.. Lininger saws, advised against
taking the gift, and accordingly Messrs
Platt and Millard voted against it. MIR. Lin
niger, OF course, supported it, and DIR. Miller
declined to vote. Judge Lake was absent.
So the offer was declined.
Mr.. Lininger feels that it was narrow
policy to throw away SO rare an opportunity.
mot in ten years." he said last evening,
twill we have such another opportunity to
boautify the park at small expense The cost
of house in Hanscom park need not
have exceeded 81, 200, and the collection was
we'll worth 5000. The commission owes it
to the people to make the park as attractive
as possible, and will best fulfill its duty by
adding those things which would refine and
educate as well as please the senses. / think
Il was very ungracious act to refuse Mr..
Woodman's offer"
Another member of the commission, who
positively declined to be quoted, agreed that
they had done a very unhandsome thing in
declining to accept the plants. but he really
thought it best to move slowly until the
grounds were made ready. Mr.. Lininger, he
said, mad been somewhat impetuous
IA insisting that the board should
decide at once whether to ac
cept or decline. Having however
pressed the matter, the decision was against
him, solely because no one ON the board
could say just yet whether 1t was best to
build conservatory next spring or not
Then MIR. Woodman was seen. He had no
comment to mako, of course. All there was
TO II was that the commission had refused
his offer. He had written to the park COM
missoners Of Chicago, and had no doubt
they would be glad to get his collection. 1t
was started, he says, over twenty-five years
ago, and is one OF the finest in the country.
In 1t are plants sixty years old; pieces from
the banks of the Nile. Every portion of the
tropical zone, in fact, had been laid under
tribute. He was shortly to remove from the
old place on Thirty-seventh street, and pre-
ferred rather to donate the plants to some
public park than to move them.
