Family Outbreak Imminent.


LEBANON, KY, Oct. 19.-The town of
Scots Ridge, fifteen miles from this city,
is in perfect state Of ofinsurrection, and a
desperate battle is looked for at any mo-
ment between the Simpson one side and
the Skaggs and Underwoods on the
other. Each side numbers about twenty
five heavily armed men, and the death
of dozen or more men at any
time will be no surprise. Citi-
zens have been warned and travel
through that section has intirely ceased.
The trouble all grew out of three men
outraging Shake Ships wife several days
ago. Buckley Skaggs and man
named Underwood we're arrested charged
with the crime, but were finally released.
The latter now threaten to wipe out the
Ships, which will prove hazardous
undertaking as the Ships know no fear:
Several years ago Bob Ships killed Bud
Burress aud badly wounded his brother
Tom, in shooting scrape on the grounds
now occupied by the Warning faction:

LONDON, Oct. ia horrible affair
has come to light at Oldham, near Man
chester. A man named Miller lived in a
house on the Hollins road at that place.
His wife has been missing for some time,
but apparently nothing has been serious
ly suspected. Some naighbors to-day,
paying an unexpected visit to Miller's
noticed that hole had been dug in the
kitchen, having every appearance of being
intended as a grave for somebody.
They informed the police who at once
proceeded to the house. The police
made search and soon found a body in
the cellar. 1t was thought to be that of
Miller's wife. Her throat had been cut
and the body was covered with stab
wounds, showing that she had met a
cruel death by violence. The remains
were in such a condition that it appeared
the woman had been dead for weeks. A
barrel of quick lime was found in another
room, no doubt intended for use in the
grave. Meller has been put under arrest.

The PyrotechnicD Display.

The crowd began to assemble early
last evening at Moore's square to witness
the display of fire works, and by the ap-
pointed time the square was covered with
people and all the streets bounding the
square were lined with a mass of hui

fifteen thousand people saw the display.
There was rather much sameness about
the programme, rockets taking the most
prominent part, but the crowd was well
pleased at some of the special features

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct 19-The
Picayalne has an interview to day with
Henry G. Hester, secretary of the New
Orleans cotton exchange, in regard to
the action recently taken by the exchange
about changing the form of cotton con-
tracts The exchange declined to make
any change in the contract form. Mr..
Hester says, because it was believed
that the present form is the fairest that
could be used for both planter and con
sumer. Mr.. Hester says that out
of about a thousand leading Southern
interior cotton centres which the ST.
Louis Republican furnished with blank
petitions favoring a change, only twenty
eight of these towns responded.
1t is stated by Mr.. Hester that
the report sent by the Calves
measure as the Hatch bill, Mr.. Hester IN
derstands, is due to the belief that the
Hatch measure will stop the free on board
and forward delivery business by those,
greatly injuring the business of smalI
Southern towns and driving it to the
larger cities. Mr.. Hester insists that the
prosperity of New Orleans and othe,
large Southern centres must of necessity
be based on the prosperity of the smaller
commercial communities in the South
