A LETTER FROM FAM.
"Scourged, Foully Abused and Bru-
tally Beaten" at Aberdeen.

Senator Spooner has received the following
letter from Henry ]. FAM, the victim of the
Aberdeen, Miss, outrage, which formed the
subject of a recent debate in the Senate:
''LExINsroS, Tenn, Jan. 80, 1890
81 notice in the daily papers, in your answer
to Senator Georges address made before the
US. Senate January Is, 1890. that you refer to
the outrage that was perpetrated by the citi-
zens of Aberdeen, Miss. Unfortunately for
me l was the victim of their brutal assault and
desire to say that you have them pictured
about right. / desire to say that was prom
ised protection by the mayor of the city and
one or two citizens, but l could not at that
time see what good their protection would do
me after l had been scourged and foully
abused and brutally beaten by fifty other
blood-thirsty villains. At any rate / left as
soon as practicable. Am glad to say that am
now surrounded by a law-abiding people, who
regard the rights OF man almost sacred as
those of our Creator

GENTILES WIN.
Salt Lake City Goes Against the SIor.
mon Ticket

At II o'clock last night the official returns
from every precinct in Salt Lake City but one
gave George NJ. Scott (Gentile) for mayor,
1,240 votes; Spencer Clewson (Mormon), 532.
Returns from the other precinct will probably
swell Scotts majority to $50. The campaign
was a phenomenal one. For forty-three years
the Mormons have held control of the city.
They were intrenched SO strongly that they
believed their position was impregnable Brig
ham Young voted his people like a unit, and
this principle of union in politics was SO
strongly impressed upon all members of the
church that they grew up in the belief that to
vote against the church ticket was sacrilege
But with the years the Gentle population grew,
and various acts of Congress DISTINGUISHED the
polygamists.
The Mormons. approaching the fact that
they were working in lost cause, resorted to
questionable methods of conducting their cam
paign. They imported Detective Bonfield of
Chicago and with him came many ex-convicts,
criminals and sharpers. But their work was of
no avail, for one of Bonfelds men revealed
the whole plot, and the liberals checkmated
every move made by the Mormon party.
The courts were appealed to frequently by
both sides to settle contested questions and one
of the most important matters ruled OH was
whether a Mormon was a fit subject for natu-
radiation.
Juuge ANDERSON neld tnat no memDer OF the
Mormon church could ever again become cit
izen Of this country. and by that means scores
of Mormcns were prevented from registering.
The Mormons also attempted to COLOMBO by
bringing in church members from all quarters
of the territory, but this scheme was also npped
in the bud.
1t was believed there would be trouble yes
teriay and 400 United States deputy marshals
were sworn in to preserve the peace. These
officers are all Gentiles. The city and county
governments being Mormon they swore in an
equal number OF special policemen and deputy
sheriffs. These timely precautions had good
effect and the peace of the city was never bet
ter preserved.
The Mormons assembled at the polls as early
as O'Clock in the morning and held the fort
bravely in the snow, but the liberals were not
far behind them.
At O'Clock 25 per cent Of the full registered
vote had been cast; at 10 o'clock 81 per cent; at
ii O'Clock As per cent, and at o'clock in the
afternoon over 10 per cent of the voters had
exercised the franchise. The Mormons polled
their vote early and by 2 o'clock in the after
noon had voted almost their entire strength
There was not much scratching done

A Charge of Embezzlement.

Detectives Raff and Carter this morning re-
eeived a warrant from Justice Bundy's once,
sworn out by Emanuel Wiley. a cigar maker
In Baltimore, charging John W. Wheeler, a
clerk in the pension office, with embezzIement.
The amount charged in the warrant was SIS.
AZ Is alleged that Wheeler sold cigars to clerks
in the office for Wiley and that he pocketed
Sls OF The money instead of sending il 10 Will
iey. The officers found Mr Wheeler at the
pension office this morning and served the
warrant on him. Mr.. Wheeler was escorted 70
s1e ToiSe Court, where It was ascertained that
Mr.. Wiley could not reach here TODAY i'm time
10 give evidence in the case. Owing to the re-
cent decision OF the courts that u person ar
rested on such charge could not give bail
While the case was pending before the Police
Court the officers suspended the service of the
warrant until tomorrow at which Tina Mr.
Wheeler was notified to appear for trial

A NEW STAPLE,
The Price Of Sawdust Went Up With a

A Great Head.

FROM tue Boston IltNeS.
One of the attractions at church fair re-
Gently held in Norwich, Conn, was lottery
conducted on a small scale. Ten persons con-
tributed 10 cents each. Each subscriber drew
slip OF paper from q hat. The slips were
numbered from one to ten. The papers we're
then placed III another hat and a monkey was
allowed to pick one out. The person who at
the first drawing had obtained the slip selected
by the monkey was entitled to 80 cents, 10 cents
going to the fair fund. After each drawing by
the monkey the slips were destroyed. One
night young man won over $40 at this little
game OF chance. Nearly every time the monkey
drew the slip this young man had selected at
the first drawing. Those present marveled at
the young mans luck and but for an accident
they never would have ascribed his winnings to
any cause but good fortune. Every slip of pa
per the young man drew he rubbed with a
piece OF lump sugar. or course the monkey a
weakness for sweets led him to pick out the su-
CARED slip. The young man dropped the piece
Of sugar while he was rubbing it on slip and
