A Louisiana Duel Results in Death to
Both Combatants-An Iowa Sheriff
Beaten by Prisoners.

WATERLOO, Iowa, Oct. 1.-When court
opened in the Billings case the attorneys
for the defense moved for a new trial on
a large number of points, the most i'm
portant of which was an affidavit made
by Billings that two of the jurors-D. B.
Fox and w. III. Ruster-told him after
the verdict was rendered that they were
not convinced of his guilt. Another
point raised was that he was tried for
murder in the first degree when he had
already been acquitted of that charge.
Irregularity of service of notice was also
claimed in regard to some of the wit
nesses for the state. The motion for a
new trial was set aside and Judge
Ney sentenced Billings to the peni-
tertiary for life. In his remarks before
passing sentence the judge is said to
have made the remarkable statement
that if he had been juror he would
have favored an acquittal. Billings was
perfectly calm and delivered short adj
dress, in which he asserted his inno-
cence and took exception to a number OF
the courts rulings. His wife was in
court with him, and burst into tears
when the sentence was pronounced.
Pending an appeal his bail was fixed at
$1,000, which he will probably succeed
in securing

IVA
the Landslide at Quebec.
QCEBEC. Sept. 30.-The inquest on the
death of the victims of the recent land
slide was closed Saturday afternoon.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
that the deaths were the result of gross
and culpahle negligence on the part OF
the federal officers of the dominion in
not taking necessary precautions by not
building the buttresses recommended to
the same authorities by the city engineer
Of Quebec in 1880; that the death of
Joseph Kemp was due to gross neg
ligenCc of the municipal authorities OF

requisite implements to eXtricate him.
The jury further say that more lives
would have been saved had such nipple,
ments been procured, adding that toe

dead. Erastus Wiman's offer to sub,
scribe to the relief fund was temporarily
declined. as $4,000 is still at the relief

THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.
A Mississippian's Plan for Eliminating a
Disturbing Element.

A Mississippian's Plan for Eliminating q
Disturbing Element.
CoFFEYvILLE, Miss, Oct. State
Senator Joel p. Walker, of Meriden,
Miss, thinks he has found remedy by
which all friction between the blacks
and whites will be removed. He con-
tends that all the strife and discord that
arise between the races eminate entirely
from politics, and the demand of the
negro to have the state offices divided,
and the avowal of the whites that no
negro should hold any place wherein the
whites are interested. He reasons that
if you take away from the negro all
hopes of gaining political power it will
dampen his ardor and zeal to go to the
ballot box, and by his remaining away
the state remains peaceful. Mr.. Walker
will therefore, in all probability, intro
duce in the state senate in January next,
a bill prohibiting amy negro, or any man
with negro blood, from holding a politi-
cal office. He says, and other eminent
lawyers affirm his statement, that such
an act will not conflict with the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to the
United States constitution. So far the
proposed plan has not met with popular
favor, and the bill, if introduced, will not
likely become a law
