Rather Than Endure Those Prcgent Mis
sissippi Would Try some More.
JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 2l.-A tinge of senti-
ment against the Oolored people appeared
in the proceedings of the constitutional
convention to-day during the progress Of
Delegate Fewell's speech in support of the
proposition offered by himself to confer
suffrage upon women. Fewelrs resolution
is as follows: That it is the sense of this
convention that it is q condition NEG
essary to the solution of the fran.
chise problem that the right to
vote be secured by proper constitutional
enactment. Every woman may vote who
shall have resided in this state six months,
and who shall be q years of age or up
wards, and who owns or whose husband, If
she has husband, owns real estate situ-
ated in this state of the clear value of $500,
over and above all incumbrances. The
vote of every woman voting in any cleo
tion shall be cast by some male electOr, who
shall be thereunto authorized in writing by
such woman entitled to vote,
such constitutional enactment not to
be framed SO as to grant to women the
right to hold Office. After two hours dis
cussion on the resolution, Fewell struck out
the Objectionable clauses of his resolution,
and had it referred to tho committee on
election franchise. The woman suffrage
idea is becoming in favor among the best
minds of the convention and unless safety
from negro supremacy can be reached by
other methods, Fewelfs plan, or one SINH
lar to it, will be adopted.

DENVER, Aug. 21.-The effects Of the sum-

ST. PAUL, Aug. N.-It il stated here on
the best authority that at the close of hil
official term as first assistant postmaster
general, j. 8. Clarkson will make his home
in Seattle. there to control the destinies o1
the Post-Intelligencer, which is the most
influential newspaper in the new state. Te
complete arrangements to secure an interest
in that plant was Clarkson's main object in
going to the coast, and the time spent in
Seattle was given up to conference with
the owners. The present editor and pro.
prietor OF the Post -Intellgencer is Leigh
Hunt, who formerly wore the title of pro
fessor and was one of Iowa's leading edu-
Gators and occupied q prominent school posi-
tion at Des Moines. He and Clarkson were
old friends.
Clarkson's reasons for going there are ex-
ceptionaiy good. vulaarly speaking he ia
he pursued while editor Of the Register st AZ
the time when people OF the state were
hghtlnR railroads, and nlso to his political
trickery which assumed such proportions
that the fact that Clarkson supported To-
cal candidate was sufficient to defeat him
grew to be by-word. He hopes now to
capture senatorship in the new state
state, where his present official standing
will give him prestige, and to that end he
has not only purchased heavy block of
Post-IntelliRencer stock. but will also enter
commercial channels. The main AUTHORITY

MOLINE, ILL.,. Aug. 21.-A little over forty
years ago. near Elmira, N. Y, occurred an
abduction that set the entire community in
state OF excitement, and went far, as a
local matter, to rival the famous Charlie
Ross disappearance. Living in a comfort
able cottage in Elmira were Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Gregg, with their two sons and 4
daughter. The youngest son, Hiram, was
about Z years Of age, and was an unusually
fright little fellow, who had absorbed many
of the good characteristics of his Christian
mother. One day he was playing in the
road, when an old gypsy bag came along
and accosted him in vile manner. Tho
little fellow chided her for using such Ian
guaRe, when the hag became 80 en-
ragged that the little fellow ran from her in
fright. Raising her voice to shrill height,
the hag screamed a terrible curse after the
running boy and vowed she would break his
heart. The next day young Hiram disap-
peared. The sorrowing parents searched
high and low for their boy, and the entire
fruitless search, the GreRgs removed to the
west. and finally settled near this place.
No tidings came from the lost one, and
gradually all hope was abandoned. A short
time ago, however, an accident led to the
belief that Hiram Gregg was still alive.
man with frOst-sprinkled hair stepped
across the Gregg threshold and was re-
ceived in the arms of a sweet, sad-faced
lady. The lOng-lost baby Hiram, now q
sturdy man of 48, was restored to his
mother, who had mourned him till the
grave has nearly opened at his feet. Hi
rams story is strange and interesting. He
clearly remembers the circumstances of his
abduction.
From Elmira the gypsy hag. in company
with her paramour, named LOckery, fled to
Wisconsin, and for while tarried about
Catfish Bay, then they went to Richmond, in
the same state, where the led shiftless.

GRESHAM ON LOTTERIES.

He Is Gratified by the Passage of the
House Bill.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-One man in Chicago
received with feeling of peculiar satisfac-
tion the news of the anti-lottery bills pas
sage by the national house Of representa-
tives. Judge Walter G. Gresham, while
postmaster general, fought the national
octopus very earnestly. Judge Gresham
took the first decisive step toward the ex-
tinction of the Louisiana lottery when he
vigorously enforced the postal regulations
and closed the mails against the swindle.
While he WAS postmaster gene.ssi and since
then he has said that the solution Of the
lottery problem was to be effected by the
passage of bill by congress which would
give the postal authorities the right to pre-
vent absolutely the use of the mails by lot
terry agents for the corporations for which
they work. Naturally he is interested in
the lottery legislation. which at last is in q
fair way to be completed.
Judge Gresham was seen at the Palmer
House this afternoon. and asked his opinion
of the new bill. II have not read the
amended bill carefully" said he, "but from
what know of its provisions am satisfied
that it is a good one and will accomplish in
large degree the settlement of the lottery
question"
1.-The bill which the house has passed is
in the direct line Of the policy suggested by
you while postmaster general, is it not?"
"Well, would not care to make any such
pretentious claims as that. have believed,
with many others, that congress should
give the department some iron-clad legisla-
tion with which it could do effective work
in suppressing this lottery business The
law has been very imperfect, and that is
why the authorities have been unable to
make a better showing. The department.
succeeded in crippline the Louisiana lottery
while was connected with it; am salts
fed of that, and only regret that the i'm
perfect regulations prevented more being
done. am glad to notice that the news
papers in our larger cities are not printing
lottery advertisements. This indicates the
drift OF popular sentiment
Judge Gresham said he was not prepared
to give any opinion rs to the particular
clauses of the bill, as he had not read the
text carefully, but the cursory examination
he had given it led him to believe that the
bill would prove satisfactory to every one
but the lottery companies. These lottery
institutions are monstrous swindles," he
said. "They thrive off of money extorted
from the poor, ignorant and credulous peo-.
pie, and their extinction is necessary"
