HE RESISTED ARREST.
A Determined Negro and a Shotgun Keep
Back n sherin-Burning the House
inOrder to Eject His Escape

A Determined Negro and Shotgun Keep
Back n sheriff Burning the House
inOrder to Eject His Escape
Finally Captured.
FREDERICKSBURG, VA, May 30.-
Deputy Sheriff Mcdaniel, of King George
county, went with writ of ejectment and
undertook to remove Charles Peyton, a
negro squatter, from a tenement house be-
longing to Charles Marmaduke, in the
above county. When the Sheriff arrived at
the house and made known his visit Peyton
entered the house and in few moments re-
turned with double-barreled shotgun, and,
leveling it at the Sheriff, forced him to
leave, following him some distance from the
house, and when leaving him said: "If
you come back here again you will get the
contents of this gum"
Some time afterward the Sheriff returned
with posse, and also with another warrant
for the arrest of Peyton for resisting an Of
fcer. Peyton, who saw them coming, fortl-
fed himself and defied arrest with his gun.
While the officers were deciding as to the
best means to pursue, Peyton set fire to the
house with his family in it. He escaped
through rear door and took to the woods
while the Sheriff and his posse were rescuing
the family and trying to save the building.
The family was rescued, but the building
and furniture were entirely destroyed. The
Sheriff and his posse then left the scene.
After procuring another warrant for arson
against Peyton, they pursued and captured
him yesterday. He has been placed in the
county jail.

THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT.
Naval Omcers Do Not Apprehend Any
Trouble in the Behring Sea-The
Available FOrcc of the United

Available Force of the United
states on the Pacific Coast.
WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The warlike
dispatches from British Columbia with re-
gard to expected trouble between the United
States and Great Britain over the Behring
Sea seal fisheries are generally discredited
BY officers of the Navy Department. 1t is
pointed out that no officer of rank sufi-
ciently high to make him acquainted with
the English Governments purposes would
under any circumstances be so foolish as
to talk in the manner stated in the dispatch
from Victoria, B. G. A prominent naval
officer, in speaking on the subject, said that
if such talk did occur the speaker was
some subaltern who had drunk too much
beer and lost his head, and had by high talk
given his auditor to believe something start
ling was going to take place, and that he
knew all about it. The United States had
no reason to apprehend any difficulty.
Great Britain assuredly would notcomnit
any overt act of violence in case her sealers
were arrested without warning this Govern
ment of its intentions A warning that
Great Britain would by force dispute the
sovereignty of Behring Sea had never been
communicated to the United States, and
this alone showed the improbability of the
story. 1t might be that the three vessels
named were going to Behring Sea, though
that was by no means certain. Their
duties there, however, would probably
consist in nothing more than keeping
watch on the situation to prevent their
citizens from being wantonly i'll used and
giving the sealers good advice. If our YES
sells attempted anything that was un-
warranted it might be that the British Of
ficers would feel called upon to interfere.
The United States sent vessels to the New
Foundland fisheries each year to look after
American interests, and the British vessels
probably had similar mission in Alaskan
waters, presuming that they would 60 there.
The United States naval force at present
available in Behring Sea consists OF the
Bear, the Thetis and revenue cutter.
These vessels are of no use for actual war
fare and are simply policemen of the sea.
The Adams and the Iroquois are at Mare
Island and could be sent to sea at short
notice if circumstances demanded it. The
Charleston is also at San Francisco, but it
will be some time before she will be ready
to 90 into commission. She has demon
strated, it is said, that she is an
excellent boat, but has not yet fulfilled the
contract requirements, and some changes
are necessary in her machinery before she
can come up to the conditions of the con-
tract. Even if these requirements were
waived under stress of an emergency it
would take some time to fit the Charleston
out for service. As has been already stated,
however, naval officers do not think the
situation at all alarming or even threaten
ing. The Behring Sea fisheries, they are
confident, will not precipitate conflict be-
tween the United States and Great Britain.

CONGRESSMAN KELLY Of Kansas IS
one of those blatant demagogues and
senseless orators whose mouths
should be muzzled IN the interest Of
peace and public decency. At Fort
Smith on Decoration Day he deliver
ed TRADE against Arkansas so full
OF mahgnancy and untruth that even
the sensible and honest republicans
of the border city felt constrained TO
meet in a public capacity and de-
nounce and repudiate it as untImely,
unfair and untruthful. Kelly Is a fit
associate of the fiery Foraker, tatllng
futile, Palsy Fairchild, and scores
of other rabid partizans Of lesser
note whose chief delight is in Stand
ering everything southern on any and
all occasions. Such exhibitions Of
spleen fall harmless upon the public
ear. The speaker suffers incompar-
ably more than the section he ma
ligns. He lowers his dignity, i'm
pairs his influence and usefulnes and
excites the wonder why even Kansas
selects such material TO represent
her In the halls of the American
congress.

A Lucky Ticket Holder.

Mr. Jennings Topp, book eeper
for ID. d Wilkins IL Co., of Duck
Hill, in this county, was the fortunate
holder OF one-twentieth of ticket No.
$500, which drew the Second Cap
ital Prize of 100000 in the Louisi
ana State Lottery Drawing on April
10th last. This entitled Mr. Tobb
to $4,000 which was promptly paid
on presentation OF his ticket. Mr..
Tobb has held tickets in drawings on
several other occasions and at differ
ent times drew small sums-enough
to about cover his expenses. On
this occasion he drew a handsome
sum-an amount that gives HIM a
good start and makes him independ-
emit He is a clever gentleman and
his many friends congratulate him
on his good luck. Our Duck Hill
friends have always been quite lucky
in the drawings of The Louisiana
State Lottery. Last fall Mr.. Dink
Butt drew $500, and other parties
have drawn small sums ranging from
IS to SIS. These facts inspire a
great deal Of confidence in the fair
ness of the drawing. Most of the
tickets procured, were purchased di.
