ATTEMPTED .LYNCHING
Results in the Death of Two
of the Prisoners.
FOUR OF THE POSSE SHOT.
The Outcome of Series of Murders
and DepredatiOns by Some
Very Hard Cases.


Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
ST. LOUIS, January 2O.-A Fort Worth,
Texas, dispatch received late last night,
says: Sheriff Richardson, of this county,
received telephone message at mid
night, from Graham, in Young county,
to the effect that about 10 O'Clock last
night, while the Deputy U. S. Marshal
with a posse of Graham citizens was
escorting the. four Marlow brothers,
"Buck" Hart and another man named
Pierce to the Parker County Jail at
Weatherford, the prisoners being in
dicted for four cases of murder and eight
cases of horse theft, a mob of thirty citi-
zens attempted to lynch them. The
marshal and his posse defended
the prisoners.
The Marshal, with his prisoners, occu-
pied two hacks and the mob pulled the
Marshal from his hack and then fred
into the hacks from each side of the
road. Eph Marlow and Sam Creswell,
one of the guards, were killed instantly.
Bruce Wheeler and Frank Parmson, of
the mob, were killed at the first volley OF
the guards, while Marshal johnson and
Eugene Logan, the latter one of the mob,
were fatally wounded. The other two
Marlows were chained to the two Mar
lows who we're killed. They secured
knife and each cut off leg of his dead
brother at the ankle, and with "Buck'
Hart and the other prisoner, escaped in
one of the hacks. Both the Marlows
who escaped and "Buck" Hart were
wounded and were forced to stay at
farmhouse fourteen miles from Graham.
The officers have gone to arrest them,
and it is thought their wounds are too
severe to permit of their escaping.
A large posse bas been made up at
Graham, and are in pursuit of the fugi-
tives and members of the mob.
Report says the excitement at Graham
is at fever heat. 1t appears
that this affair was the sequel
to another that occurred on Friday
night. Boone NARROW, one of the four
brothers mentioned, all of whom have
bad reputation and are accused of various
thefts, killed Sheriff Wallace OF Young
county on the 18th of last December while
the latter was attempting to arrest him.
NARROW escaped but his brothers were
arrested as accessories. Later they broke
Jail but were captured, and on Friday
night mob of about thirty men attacked
the jail with the purpose of lynching
them. The mob failed, however, and at
O'Clock Saturday the prisoners under
strong guard were started for Weather
| ford for safe keeping. 1t was while this
party was en- route that they were at
| tackled. with the above result.

GoLDlrEs raise a great howl about the
piles of silver coin lying idle in the
Treasury vaults. They are very careful
not to say anything about the gold lying
in the same repositories and quite as
idle as the silver. The Bland act has
been in operation ten years. In that
time the coinage of silver standard dol
lars has been about $4,000 900. De-
Quoting from this the amount OF the coin
in actual circulation, plus silver certifi-
Gates issued against the coin, and we
find the surplus of silver "iying idle" is
only about $50 100000. The total gold
coin and bullion in the Treasury vaults
is $332, ,551 ,305. Deducting the certifi-
Gates drawn against this, it appears that
there is the equivalent of nearly $780,
100000 of gold lying "as idle as painted
ship upon painted ocean," There is
six times as much "idle" gold as there
is 'idle" silver in the Treasury vaults.

WHEN Br'er Jones ran against Br'er
Otis he struck foeman worthy of his
steel. It is perhaps question as to
which is the greater master of that
nervous, sinewy, runic Saxon which is
commonly known as Billingsgate. When
Br'er Jones attacked dancing we knew
there would be trouble, for if there is
one pastime to which Br'er Otis is at
tached to the point of fanaticism it is
tripping the light fantastic toe. When
this toe was stepped upon, cacophonous
yowl came forth as naturally as night
succeeds the day.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
A Forecast of the Progress
of Legislation.
SUBSTITUTE FOR MILLS BILL.
Thl Difficulties Surrounding the
Wool and Lumber Schedules
in Committee.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

WASHINGTON, January 20.-By agree
ment the Senate is to proceed to vote
upon the substitute for the Mills bill at
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon; but if that
limit is not extended, some important
provisions of the bill will have to be
voted on with little or no consideration
in the Senate. Among the schedules yet
undisposed of are those which concern
lumber, wool and woolens, gloves and
leather.
Over the wool and lumber
schedules the principal conflict has
been raging before the sub-com-
mittee on Finance in charge oi
the bill, and the members of the COM
mittee say that, in consequence of con-
tnued pressure from interested parties,
no agreement will be reached respect
! ing these subjects until the last
moment. There has been some talk
about the probability of certain Repub-
lican Senators not voting for the bill, but
well-informed friends of the measure say
there is no danger to be feared from tina,
source. 1t is believed, furthermore, that
Senator Brown, of Georgia, will vote fol
the bill.
When the Tariff bill is disposed of, the
Senate will find itself confronted by an
accumulation of business demanding
prompt attention. First in importance
are the appropriation bills which have
come over from the House. Several
Senators, however. have other Legislation
they desire to accomplish. Chandler will
endeavor to have considered his resolution
for the elections investigations, and
Frye wants to take up the Pacific Rail
road Funding bill, already special
order. Among other bills in position
to be called up for action is the one
upon the regulation OF Trusts and Com
biuations.
In the House on Monday (suspension
day. the Oklohoma bill is the unfinished
business. Crisp expects to call up the
pending contested election cases on
Tuesday and Wednesday, but just what
order of business the week will assume il
| is not possible to state, as the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors have selected the
same days for consideration OF the Ap-
preparation bill, while Randall intends tc
fmove to proceed with the Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill already before the
House. In addition, the conference re-
lport on the Nicaragua Canal Bill. which
may prove to be bone of contention, is
likely to be added.

New YoRK, January 20.-The steamer
State of Nebraska, which sailed hence
for Glasgow Friday last, returned to this
city in leaking condition this morning.
The vessel had proceeded considerable
distance on her voyage when the Captain
discovered several feet of water in her
hold. An examination was made and it
was found that two rivets in the steam
er's sternpost had broken. 1t is ex-
pected the repairs will be completed and
the vessel sail by noon tomorrow. She
carries about hundred passengers.

WHAT the American Union needs at
present, and needs badly, is more
money. Our enterprises and CONNER
cial operations call for great expansion
of the circulating medium. France, with
q population of less than $4,000, 900, and
an area Of only about 100000 square
miles, has a circulation of $47.22 per
capita. Great Britain, with 32,00O,0O0
population and less area, has $23.72
per capita of money. With nearly
20, 600, 900, or close to the combined
of France and Great Britain,
We have only $3.50 per capita of money.
The area over which this is to operate is
over 3,50o,00 square miles. Free coin
age Of gold and silver is what we want.

THE MORM CHURCH
Fighting Hard To Retain the
LOaVes and Fishes.

WASHINGTON, January 2O.-Argument
has been concluded in the Supreme
Court of the United States in the case of
the Church of Jesus Christ, Of Latter
Day Saints, appellants, VS.. the United
States, brought here on appeal from the
Supreme Court of the Territory OF Utah.
By the terms of the anti-polygamy law
the Church corporation was dissolved
and its property escheated to the United
States. Col. o. H. Broadhead and ex-
Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, appeared
for the appellants. They argued that
Congress, by the dissolution OF
the Church corporation, had as
sumed a judicial power. That the act of
the legislative assembly of Utah, incor-
porating the Church was in the nature of
a contract which could not be impaired, ,
and that therefore the corporation could
not be dissolved by legislative enact.
ment. The doctrine of escheat, the coun-
sci further maintained, had never been
applied in this country to religious and
charitable corporations. The only thing
the government could do was to hold this
property till an equitable claimant was
found, and, in this case, a title never
having been held by corporation by
u uotCCo WIZ ulOu Luc CiAluib lOT UUc
members in the court below, there was no
color of right for its possession by the
government.
Solicitor General jerks, for the United
States, argued that Congress mad a con-
stitutional right to dissolve this corpora
tion. He maintained that the clause of
tie Constitution giving Congress the
right to legislate for Territories, gave i.
power to repeal Territorial enactments.
He declared, moreouer, that as the Con-
stitution of Utah provided that acts
passed by the legislative assembly should
be null and void if disapproved by Con-
gress, express power to repeal Territorial
acts had been thereby conferred upon
the Legislature of the Federal Govern
ment. 1t was for Congress to determine
when and under what circumstances it
would exercise this power. He also con-
tended that the act of the Corporation of
the Church was invalid because in con-
flict with the provision of the
Constitution forbidding the establish
ment of religion. He furthermore
asserted that the corporation was rightful-
ly dissolved for the misuse and abuse of
its corporate power. and that the corpora
tion might also be dissolved under the
general police powers of the constitution.
The corporation being dissolved, he
maintained there was nothing left for the
United States to do but to appoint a Re-
ceiver to take charge of the propertyof the

The London Eyhfbit.

The State Legislature is ask ed tt
appropriate $250.000 for the purpose O.
making an exhibit of California products
in London. The sum may be round
one, and there is no question that the
taxes wrung from the people should be
carefully and judiciously expended
Ours is prosperous people and gener.
GUS people. All they demand is that
extravaganza be not exercised. If even
thelarge sum asked for be we'll and care
fully used, there will be no complaint
made.
That proper exhibit of our products
set up in London would do good, need
not be argued. That metropolis of the
world uses an amazing amount of our
goods now and may be made the market
for more of our products. Here are few
figures showing what We send the mer-
chants of London: The San Jose
Packing Company, in 1888, sold Is, 900
cases of their goods in London. The
Alaska Commercial Company sold $780,
600 worth of canned salmon in that mar
ket. The London agent of VIM. T. Cole.
man & Co. sold 81 900, 900 worth of canned
salmon, canned fruit and wines and
brandies in London during the past year
The English market takes immense
quantities of our wheat, barley, honey,
fruits, wines, brandies, mustard seed,
and indeed of nearly every product OF
our farms and vines.
England is also an excellent field in
which to recruit settlers for our waste
lands. People of substance can be in
duced to come here and buy farms, build
up houses and develop the latent re-
sources of this matchless State.
The English tourist is the most rest
less, ,enterprising and profitable of al, save
only the American. The London "globe.
trotter" is the most ubiquitous biped ex-
tant. He goes everywhere, and wants
to see everything. A well-mounted
series of pictures of our mountains, of
Yosemite, of Shasta, etc., will turn in
Vulnerable eyes to this Mecca of the
sight-seeker. Our hotels, railroads and
other concerns will be the beneficiaries
of such travel.
Capital, too. Where can money be
found if not in London? Let it but
appear that dividends await the invest
ment of cash, and London will furnish it..
We can all afford to contribute our
mite to the cause of making a fitting
exhibit of our products in London. 1t
will open up markets for these products.
And that is what we want. Ii
the market were assured, promptly
and certainly, we would extend
our orchards hundredfold in the COM
ing year. A tagging, uncertain demand
is all that prevents the most astounding
results being reached in the way of de-
velopment. The demand can be devel-
oped in London.
Here are millions of acres of fertile soil
awaiting the development which comes
with the active use Of the plowshare of
the industrious farmer. The carrying out
OF this programme calls for more than
mere muscle. 1t requires money, too.
England is just the place to get the
men with the money. But exhibit our
products before the eyes of the fore

All OLD saw runs that two of kind

comedies, like Gil Bias, are full of the
envenomed contests of literary men.
The suitors in the halls of princes and

ALSATaAN CONTRACT LABOR.
A Cigarmaker's scheme Dropped on
by the Authorities.


New YORK, January 20.-What ap-
pears to be one of the biggest consign-
ments of contract labor ever landed here
in one ship, was discovered by accident
at the landing OF the passengers of La
Champagne at Castle Garden to-day. 1t
was noticed that more than every other
one of the 213 steerage passengers were
bound for Florida. 1t was found that all
had come from Alsace, Germany, and
that their passage money had been paid
by a man named George Stein OF
that province. Later in the day
member of the firm of
Stratton & Storm, of this city,
appeared at Castle Garden. He
said he was an Alsatian and had ar
ranged to have his countrymen come
here, but denied having paid their fare.
He had large tract of land in Florida
and proposed to furnish each family with
house and forty acres of land and start
them at raising Sumatra tobacco. He
would buy the product. The people, to
the number of 100, were detained, await
ing the action of Collector Magone.
