GETTING OFF LUCKILY.

LA PORTE, Ind, June 21.-The pretty lit
tie daughter of S. d. Pidge, of New Car
Isle, was criIninally assaulted Wednesday
evening by G. P. Kibbe a new conner in
the village. The little girls story has
created big sensation, and kibbe has been
given As hours in which to leave the place.
Wednesday evening the children of the
Sabbath schools, assisted by members of the
church choirs, were practicing for children s
day. On the evening in question among
those at the rehearsal were the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. Pidge and G. p. Kibbe. After
the rehearsal there was no one to go home
with the little giT'l. and as she went in the
direction Mr.. Kibbe must go, he vol
unteered to see that she should reach
home safely They had not gone far when
kibbe commenced his brutal work, and
though the little girl cried piteously, she
was powerless to free herself from the
grasp of the inhuman wretch.
The sensational feature of the affair has
just been developed by Kibbe claiming to
be insane The little village is wild with
excitement Mr. kibbe has been resident
of the place but a few weeks, coming from
Steuben county, where he has borne
good reputation among members of relig-
iOus societies, several secret organizations
and among teachers of the public schools
of the county.

A Louisiana Legislator Springs Sensation
IN the Lottery Matter.

BATON ROUGE, La, June 20.-The New
gass bill, offering 81, ,250000 a year for
lottery privileges, was introduced in the
house today by Mr.. Pipes, of Feliciana,
when Mr.. Shattuck denounced it as a fake
and classed it as an infant born of black
mailing scheme. He said Newman, of
New Orleans, wanted to get into the
ceeded IN doing so he (NeWman) would 90
as high as 100000 with the Newgass
money, which was 1000 miles away on the
other side of the Atlantic.
Mr.. Shattuck said that a commercial
man met friend of Mr.. Morris at the
Mayor hotel and said that Newgass and
himself had been apart long time, but
had now come together and were deter
mined to be in on the Morris proposition
Mr.. Morris friend said he was chilled by
the cool proposition and asked what would
be done if it was refused. "Then we 90
before the legislature and make an offer
of 81 go, 600, replied the gentleman, "and
If he meets the offer then we Will raise it
to 81, 800 900, and if you raise that we will
go further and give 5000, 900 or more, be-
cause we are determined that we shall be
in on the proposition" was the answer.
The facts could be substantiated. He was
ready to answer any question.
Mr.. Pipes asked the name of the COM
mercial man.
His name, sir, is Tsadore Newman, the
large stakeholder of Mexican lottery stock
in the city Of New Orleans" replied Mr..
Shattuck
Mr.. Shattuck said he could prove what
he said. He was ready to give the names of
the gentlemen to whom the proposition
was made and the member who was to in
trOduce the bill. He said that il was appa-
rent that this was blackmailing scheme
born in corruption.
Mr.. Kennedy said an investigation ought
to be made and nothing held from the
house.
Mr.. Shattuck replied he was willing and
Mr.. Kennedy could select a committee and
make himself chairman.
There was tremendous applause when
Mr.. Shattuck gave Newman5s name.

GERMANS PLEASED.
The Agreement With England Regarded
as an Advantage.

Copyrighted 1870 by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, June 21.-During a prolonged
sitting of the bundesrath Chancellor Won
Caprfvi explained the aims of the govern
ment in concluding the Angio-Gernlan
agreement relative to the territory In
Africa. Although no official statement
has been issued the chancellor's state
ment to the bundesrdth IS known
to bear largely on the immense
importance of the strategic views OF
Heligoland The chancellor recalled the
fact that during the war OF 1870 1t was
necessary to detach large force TO guard
against possible French landing at the
mouths of the WeSer and Elbe rivers and
TO lay submarine mines TO protect the
water approaches to Hamburg and Bre-
men, the trade of which cities was for
some time blocked. The bundesrath unan-
imOusiy approved the compact and con-
graduated the emperor and the chancellor
to whose exertions the cession of the island
to Germany by England was due.
Major Wissmann, who viii arrive here
tomorrow, has telegraphed expressions of
his concurrence with the opinion OF his
old lieutenant, Baron Gravenreuth, to the
effect that the surrender of Zanzibar
makes the English masters of East Africa
and that surrender of Uganda into the
hands of the English gives them the right
to control Africa.
The Hamburger Nachrichten declares
that German commerce to East Africa
will be ruined, but admits that the acqul-
sition of Heligoland balances any loss
elsewhere. England, the paper says, has
done Germany a real service to the disad-
vantage of France, which always requires
to be closely watched.
a note was presented today to the porte
by the Russian ambassador, NJ. NeildeOH.
1t suggests the intention of the car to ac-
lively interfere in the Balkans. The note
declines the request of the porte that Rus
sia will wait until November for the pay
ment of the war indemnity by Turkey and
demands immediate payment. The note
declares that in the event of refusal Russia
reserves the right of taking all necessary
measures to compel payment.

Minneapolis Enumerators Given a E EARN
in st. Paul for Padding.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 21.-The trial of
the seven arrested Minneapolis census
enumeratOrs came up before United States
Commissioner McCafferty in this city this
morning. They were arrested by United
States Marshal Daggett on warrents sworn
out by William Pitt Murray of this city, al
leging fraudulent actions in cOnnec-
ton with their census laborS. The
warrants were served on them in
Minneapolis Tuesday night while they
were engaged i'll comparing their own
returns with those of the business mems
union, by whom an effort was being made
to prevent the overlooking of any residents
in Minneapolis. 1t is alleged that false re-
turns were being made ana a mass of doc
umentS seized at the same time have been
held as evidence in the case. a search
warrant was issued in the Minneapolis
municipal court and officers attempted to
gain possession of these papers as neces-
sary to the completion of the Minneapolis
census, but the United States commission
er had given strict orders and no papers
were given up. The citizens of Minneapo-
lis were greatly aroused and employed law
yers for the seven arrested enumerators.
So much feeling has been engendered
that every little point in the history of the
case has been greatly magnitied and con-
sequehtly indignation at what was con-
sidered improper and outrageous interfer-
ence in Minneapolis affairs by the city of
St Paul has been greatly intensified.
However, the facts are as above stated.
the stories of assaults upon residents of the
two cities being not only much eXagger-
ated but in some cases entirely untrue.
Still there has been and is great interest
in and much excitement over the case, as
was evident about the government build
ing this morning.
The hearing was in the United
States grand jury room, which
was far too small for the crowd,
which extended in a dense mass out into
the halls and down two flights of stairs to
the street. Messrs. Lawler and Mum
were accepted as assistants to United
States Attorney Hay, notwithstanding the
objection of the of the defendants and
Hays expression of readiness to go on
with the prosecution without them. Hay
being a resident of Minneapolis and Law
Ter and Mum being from St. Paul, Muir
raw, who SwOre out the warrants, had re-
quested that these attorneys be accepted as
assistants to Hay and the latter consented.
Atiidavits were then filed by each
ing the belief that United States
Commissioner McCafferty was preiudiced
and they feared an impartial hearing be-
fore him was impossible. McCafferty de-
MED any prejudice and heard argument
and authorities on the application of state
laws on change of venue to the present case
This continued until noon, when an adj
journment was taken until 230 O'Clock
without any decision having been an
nOunced. At the afternoon session Nc
Catferty announced a decision against the
motion for a change of venue and at the
request of the United States attorney, who
wanted to communicate with the depart
ment at Washington before action, it was
continued until August 20.

An Uprising in Mexico Which May
Become National.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 21.-Information
is given of an uprising in the mining state
of Guanajuro which is believed to be the
beginning of a general revolutionary move
ment of which there have been repeated
warnings for some time. As the telegraphs
are under government censorship, it is i'm
possible to get details by wire and some
days must elapse before all of the facts
can be obtained. There are signs Of
uneasiness in government circles
and the general feeling is that a crisis is
imminent. The tyranny of the govern
ment is daily becoming heavier and it IS
certain that within a year Diaz viii pro
claim himself dictator Only revolution
can prevent such a disaster to the republic
This may come quickly if the movement
in Guanaiuto shows the strength
expected. If it be put down sue
cessfully by the government then
the day of general resistance will be post
poned. Business Is dull and the reaction
has set in against a buoyancY created by
credit. The latter Is exhausted and the in
evitable is at hand This state of affairs
increases the feeling of restlessneSs. There
Is no freedom of the press. Not only are
editors held responsible, but even the
printer who sets up an article rejecting on
the condition OF the affairs may be sent 10
jail Therefore one need not look TO Mexi-
can papers for information.

AN INDIAN ASSASSINATION.

PARIS, Tex, June 4-News reached
here tonight of the killing of William
Crawford, a Choctaw, about seventy-five
miles north of here, in the Choctaw ma
tion, Wednesday night He was working
for Willis Wilson, prominent citizen
About dark he went to the lot,
where he was fired upon and in
stantly killed. Wilson was afraid to 90
to bed, and did not go to the body of
the murdered man until the next day 1t
is not known who committed the deed, but
there has been a feud raging between two
factions of Indians in that country for a
long time, and a number have been killed
upon both sides. So furious did this war
become about two years ago that the gov
ernOr went in person to the scene, and,
with great difficulty, patched up a truce
between the cOntending factions
