SIMLA, Aug 13-Another illustration of
the swift punishment which England in
fiicts upon those who violate her rights
or infringe upon her dignity i'll
India was given to-day at Mani
pur when two of the leaders of
the massacre of the British in March met
their death at the gates of the capital. The
two men who We're executed to-day We're
members of the reigniug family
of Manipur, but neither their
high position nor the appeals for
clemency that had been made for them
could seve them from the vengeance of the
law. Both had appealed from the sentence
OF death that had been imposed
upon them by the military court of
inquiry before which they were tried, but
the Viceroy of India, the Marquis OF Lans
down, had decided that the interests of
Great Britain demanded that these
men, who had waged war against
the queen and abetted murder. should
die. They were soldiers, yet not for them
was the honor OF soldiers death. They
were not permitted to stand erect before
squad of soldiers and TO hear the fatal
command of Ready, aim, fire.
But they were taken from their
prison, led to the scafold and there
hanged like ordinary murderers.
The principal victim of to-day's tragedy
was Sena Putty, or the commander

of the Raiah of Manipur Years ago he
drove the raiah into exile, and placed an
other brother on the throne, who gov

An immense crowd of natives witnessed

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 13-The
drunken escapades of John L. Ganzhorn, "a
justice of the peace of this city. have
brought him into considerable uotoriety,
which has reached beyond the borders OF
the city. His bibulous tendencies have
brought him to position now whe e he
does not know whether he is 4 married man
or not. He was very drunk to-day. ceIe-
bratlng his marriage, yet ut the same time
loudly declares that he is not married.
Sam Davis, ward politician and saloon
keeper with 4 lot of bu-room loaferS, state
very plainly that Ganzhorn is married, and
that he was married in the back room Of
the saloon last night.
An eccentric woman named Archer has
been clerk in GanZhorn'S Office for some
time. The woman IS reputed to be very
wealthy and paid former husband 10000
if he would get divorce from her. The
couple went to Davis saloon last evening,
which was nothing unusual for them, and
went into the back room. Davis tells the
story of their marriage. He says that
Ganzhorn wanted to be married and depu-
TIED him Davis as justice of the peace
pro tempOre, and told him to go ahead aud
marry them. 1T was this way, said Da-
Wis. They asked me to marry them, and

County Officials firing Queries

NEGRO MILITIA ENCAMPMENT.

Mabry VIII Have His Eye On Them.
Doings of the Railway Commission
County Tax Rolls sent in-Big Busi-
ness in the Land Oftice-CHp-
ital Cuttings.
No Money for Them.



AUSTIN, Ten, Aug. 13.-Land Commits
sioner McGaughey is being pestered with
letters coming in from district attorneys
and other county officials, asking for adj
vice concerning the forfeiture of certain
school lands for nOn-payment Of interest or
principal. IL seems that the previous com
missioner had instructed district at
torneyS in many counties to institute
legal proceedings against numerous
defaulterS for forfeiture of their claims,
but had kept no record of the claims so
acted on by him. II is claimed that he
should, in order TO comply with the law Of
1879, have placed the defaulting cases il the
hands of the Encouragement with in
structionS to have proceedings instituted III
the various localities in which the forfeit
able lands lay for their forfeiture. or the
collection of the money due on them. Had
that been done, a record of all such cases
would be found in the attOrney-general's
office, and an accurate knowledge of the
number and character of the fOrfeitable
claims be within reach AS it IS, there
seems to be no record of them, and no
means of aScertaining their extent, lOca-
ton or character Many of them nave been
forfeited in the regular way, and local Off
cialS are writing to the commissioner de
manding fees earned for services rendered.
But there IS no money for them, as no
appropriation for that purpose was made
by the Legislature, and none was asked for.
In making up statement of the various
amounts needed to run the land office, the
commissioner, knowing nothing about the
forfeited claims, made no requisition for the
payment of fees incurred under them
Hence the reason why there Is no money on
hand to foot the bills, and all those holding
claims of this nature against the
state will have to wait un-
til the next legislature makes an
appropriation covering their fees. The ex-
tent of these fees may be judged from the
case of Stonewall county. where they
amount to $1,000.

COlored Volunteers.

AGgjt-Gen. Mabry is actively at work
preparing for the colored volunteer encamp-
ment, which begins at San Antonio August
10, and continues five days. There are only
five companies of negroes in the
militia, and all will participate
in the encampment. The roads over
which they Will travel in going to and
from San Antonio, have all agreed to
transport them free, except the Interna-
tiOnal, and Gen. AIabry says that that road
will not refuse. The negroes appear to
look on the encampment as a gay frolic,
and are anticipating high old time.
Great crowds of their colored friends are
expected to flock to Temaleville
as if going to an old-fashioned
camp meeting or barbecue, and the
duSky maidens are everywhere saving up
their shehels, and begging and borrowing
the cast off toys of their white friends in
order that they too may flock to the en-
campment and scatter incense g. before
the brave volunteers. But if the COL
ored volunteers or their colored friends
think that they are gong to have jolly
time at the encampment they will find that
they We're never more mistaken in their lives.
Gen Mabry will be there, and he is old
business The volunteers will here to walk
the chalk, as their white brethren did have
at Austin, and any colored officer per-
hitting any loOseness or Irregularities
among his men will have his uniform
stripped off as you peel an onion. The uni
form is badge of honor, which no colored
volunteer will be permitted to sully without
punishment. While in camp they will all
be required to live up strictly to the rules
of the camp and perform promptly all the
military duties exacted of them. Such are
Gen. Mabry's expressed intentions concern
ing the manner in which he proposes to
conduct the forthcoming encampment. The
five companies of the colored volunteers
are: The Lincoln Guards of Galveston,
the Ireland Guards of Seguin, the Excelsior
Guards of San Antonio, the Capital Guards
of Austin, and the Brazos Light Guards.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 13.-Unhappy har-
raised and heartsick III life, Eugene II.
Bonneck and his young wife to-day sought
together in death relief from this worlds
cares. The young couple lived at 81 Santa
F'e avenue and it was there about
l o'clock this morning that the door
of the sleeping-room was burst open. Mrs.
Bonneck was dead and her husband was
beyond human aid. He died before noon.
1t is the old familiar story of domestic
trouble, magnified by the Interference
of relatives and meddling neighbors. Eugene
II. Bonneck was member of the firm Of
Bonneck & Co, timers, and was considered
a steady, industrious young man of
more than ordinary business quail
cations, the only thing that
seemed to stand between him and absolute
happiness being his domestic troubles. He
attended closely to business and was ALWAYS
punctual in his habits with
only few exceptions, and each
time his delay was traced 10
some quarrel at home, after (which truce
had been patched up. The only word left
was note which read, Please bury US

Cost of Eiecting Intruders.


GAINESVILLE, COOKE COUNTY, TEX, Aug.
13.-The election for members of the legisla-
ture in the Chickasaw Nation, held yester-
day, resulted as follows: r. NJ. Harris,
Albert Lanias, Thomas Underwood, Chilley
Alexander and VIII Lewis. There was
some little excitement, but no disturbances
are reported.
The Indian militiamen, who have been
ejecting intruders in the Chickasaw Ma
ton, have gone home on furlough, but it
is understood will resume their work in a
few days. The Chickasaw government is
paying out $500 day expenses for the
militia, and, as they have been in active
service for two months, the government is
out IS, 600, and has put $50 intruders out.
At this rate each intruder has cost the
Chickasaw Nation $500, and by the time
they have put out 5000 intruders-the num-
Der reported by the Chickasaw permit col
lectorS-the government will have paid
81, 10000. 1t is stated, however, that
further operations have been left with In
dian Agent Bennett, and it is very likely
that the assistance of the militia will not
be needed

Special to the Gazette.

NEW ORLEANS, La. Aug. 13.-The cotton
planters in Rapides and Avoyelles parish in
this state, report slight damage to
the cotton crop from the cotton worms,
but considerably more from the ravages
of bugs heretofore unknown in
that section, but which have recently be-
come so numerous and destructive as TO
cause alarm. The bug is of a light green
color, and in shape something like an
insect known in Louisiana as the pumpkin
bug. 1t is from one-eighth to one-quarter
of an inch in width, and is slightly
longer than it is wide across the
back. 1t has bill projecting
in front. and tbs supposed that with this
bill it gets in its work upon the young bolls.
1t does not appear to eat the leaves, but con-
fines itself to the bolls and squares. The
bugs do not fly, but if followed up the stalk
until they reach the top they jump off,
sometimes springing three feet. All bolls
attacked by them die and fall off. The
planters are fighting them with paris green.
