THREE PRISONERS KILLED.
A Negro Assassin and His White Abettors
Shot to Death in An Arkansas JaiI-No
kNcifemanf Over Ii.


Excitement Over 1t.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, December 21.-
A apecial to the Gdzette from Dewitt,
Arkansas, says: This morning at two
o'clock body OF masked men entered
the jail at this place and shot to death
j. NJ. Smith, Floyd Gregory, and Nose
Henderson, who were confined therein.
The crime for which these men paid
the penalty with their lives originated
in divorce proceeding by Mrs. Mary
J. Smith against her husband, j. Nj.
Smith, one of the unfortunate victims
In this mornings tragedy. The suit was
fought vigorously by both parties, but
Mrs. Smith was granted divorce and
given q decree for one-third OF the hus-
bands property.
On the night OF December 9, the
negro Nose Henderson went to the
house of Mrs. Smith and shot her with
load of buckshot, shooting OIL the
fingers and thumb Of her right hand,
the load then passing through her
shoulder into the wall OF the dwelling.
The negro was recognized and cap
tured and made confession in when
he stated that he was to receive from
snith the sum Of S175 in money, eighty
acres of land, four head of cattle and a
horse for committing the crime.
Smith and his son-in-law, Gregory,
were arrested and preliminary trial
was had before Squire Joseph Sacrider,
and the bonds of Smith and the negro
were placed at $40, 900 each, and shat OF
Gregory, who was with Smith and who
piloted the negro to the house OF Mrs.
Smith, where the shooting was done, at
81 200, in default Of which they were
sent to Jail.
1t was reported that Smith and Greg
ory would give bond to-day and be re-
leased. This report, it is thought,
caused the killing this morning. The
mob was composed of fifteen or twenty
men and was very quiet and orderly.
Some twelve or fifteen shots were fired
into the prisoners, all Of whom were in
stantly killed.
The mob left no clue to their identi-
ty, and it is hardly possible that their
names will ever be known. There IS
no excitement over the matter here IN
town, and business is going on as II
nothing unusual had happened.

"Takiug Goff out of politics

The thing that is going to help the

A Real ROMANCE.
The Queer Story Of the Forced Mar
riage and Subsequent
DIVORCE OF MRS. CUTHBERTSON
She Was Another Mans Wife and CuthbertSOn
Testified to Criminal Intimacy to Get Her
Husband Divorce -Intmidated IntO
Marrying Cuthbertson.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., December 21.-
A decree was to-day granted Florence
C. >Cuthbertson from Sydney K. Cuth-
bertson, real estate dealer of Chicago.
The case is in some respects most re-
markable one. In 1855 the plaintiff was
married to William Douglass, broker
Of Chicago, and the two lived happily
until about a year ago, when Douglass
found in his wife's writing desk num-
Der of warm letters written by Cuth-
bertson.
Douglas hired Lawyer w. c. Adams
and the two called Mrs. Douglass into
Adams Office. Mrs. Douglass admitted
the letters, but but she had not been
intimate with Cuthbertson. Adams
said it was all right and Mrs. Douglass
went home. Two days later she was
called before Judge Horton and in tif-
teen minutes divorce was granted
Douglass.
Cuthbertson testified to criminal In
timacy between himself and the woman.
The plaintiff says no papers had been
served upon her and she did not knH W
what had been done until the decree
had been granted.
Juoge Hortou told Cuthbertson that
must marry Mrs. Douglass within
twenty-four hours or go TO the Peni-
teneiary, but Mrs. Douglass was told
by her husbands lawyer that she must
marry Cuthbertson or go to jail for 1ve
years. The woman begged and pleaded
and agreed to leave Chicago II she could
be spared the marriage.
Adams and Douglass insisted, and the
marriage accordingly occurred at }
O'Clock the next morning at Racine,
Wis. The plaintiff has never lived with
Cuthbertson as his wife, though she oc-
cupied the same house with him for
four months. The plaintiff is about %
years of age and one Of the most beau
tiful members Of the colody. She has
left for Chicago,

THIEVES CAPTURED.
4 Couple Who Have Been Doing West VIZ
ginla Caught at Parkersburg.

Spsei0I TELEGRAM to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. VA, December 2l.
Two thieves were caught here at l.
o'clock last night, who have evidently
been "doing" West Virginia towns.
They are believed to be the men who
broke into and robbed the Clarksburg
post office. The fellows have also been
at Cameron, as a memoranda in pock-
ct diary found on the person OF one OF
them shows. They mad pair OF gold
bracelets with thes name OF
Cynthie X. Clark incribed on
one of them. One vag case
bore the name of c. S. Wheeler, Marion.
There was also O number OF Keystone
stamped "U. s. No. 2,"-others, evil
dently letter box keys, or keys similar
TO those used by the Government letter
collectors. In the diary were several
addresses, III Providence street, Gin
cinnati. Ohio, and Mary Hunley, G2
Longworth street, Cincinnati, Ohio, be-
ing among them. BoJh men are young
and smooth-faced. One is heavy set,
dark Completed fellow OF about 100
mounds, about twenty-five years old.
The other looks younger and
OF more slender build. They gave the
names of Morrison and Marshal, OF
Pittsburg and Cincinnati. The names
are doubtless fictitious. On the back OF
a small mirror found on one of them is
the name John Hogan, the Kid. Both
are doubtless all around thieves and are
probably wanted for stealing or burg
larry at some point in West Virginia.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 2l.-
Prominent Democrats who have recent
ly conversed with ex-President Cleve-
land assert that be will not make any
special effort to obtain the Presidential
nomination. Representative Tracy, Of
New York, a trusted friend Of the eX-
President, has had several converse
tions with him lately. He says that
Mr.. Cleveland is willing TO leave the
choice Of a Ppresidential candidate en-
tirely In the handS-of the people. When
it was suggested that organized
work had better be commenced to
secure the New York delegation. Mr..
Cleveland protested, saying il the New
York masses wanted him they would
select a delegation in his favor.
To Senator Carlisle Mr.. Cleveland re-
Gently said that he was not really desirouS
OF serving another term as President,
that ne was happy in his domestic rela-
tionS and prosperous in his business,
and it would be an actual sacrifice for
him 10 re-euter public life. II the Dem
ocratic masses summon him TO the front
he will respond, but IL is evident that
he does not intend TO make any effort to
obtain the nomination.

CHINESE DIsTURBERS.
Vile Books Containing Infamous Charges
Against Christianity Circulated by Chon
Hu.

Vile Books Containing Infamous Charges
Against Christianity Circulated by Chon
Hu.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 2l.-Ad-
vices by steamship City of Pekin, state
that it has been definitely ascertained
that Chon Hu, a retired taItai, OF Shang-
hal In Huan, has issued thousands OF
vile books assailing christianity and
scattered them through the provinces
along the river.
1t is known he had emissarles and
sent out eight hundred thousand OF
these books. The contents are de-
scribed as too vile for belief. They
contain all the worst charges ever made
against Christianity. They are inf
nitely more mischievous than former
works, because they are not written In
the Mandarin dialect but in the vernac-
ular of the people.
This is evidence to prove that Chon
had blocks made for the books and
thousands OF copies were struck off un-
der his orders. Yet although five peo-
pie in Huangpi are TO be punished for
selling the books the author and his
friends have not been prosecuted. In
fact they are understood to laugh al
any foreign attempt TO bring them to
Justice as the cause OF rioting.
