PLANS OF THE PRESIDENT.

tions in Chicago and New York.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lo.-The sound
of the voice OF the politician has given
way TO the sound Of the workman's
hammer and everything is now looking
toward the coming Grand Army of the
Republic encampment next month.
The president will remain At Loon lake
ynli about the middle of September,
returning here in time for the opening
OF the campaign. He will remain here
until the last of October aud then 90 to
New York to attend the Columbian cele-
bratlon there, returning IN time 10 go to
Chicago for the opening ceremonies of
the worlds fair. Ii is expected that
Secretaries J. w. Foster, Elkins and
Tracy and Attorney General Miller
will accompany the president to Chi

cago trip have rs yet been made, as it
Is supposed here that the WORLDS fair
officials will arrange the details. The
president expects 10 remain In Chicago
two days. While he is in the west 1t Is
probable that he will make flying
tour through Indiana, Michigan and
perhaps Wisconsin. Senator Mcmillan,
chairman OF the Michigan state GEN.
tral committee, has already urged the
president TO spend few days III Mich
lgan.
On this trip the president will do
nothing IN the line Of campaigning, al
though 1t is probable that a number Of
brief speeches and talks will he given
along the route. Mr.. Harrison expects
TO be at his Indianapolis home the lat
ter part of October. He will return TO
Washington shortly before the election
and will receive the election returns at
the White House. II is thought that
during October many delegations will
come to Washington to see the presi-
dent as they did during 1855 at Indian
spolis. The arrangements for these
visitors have not been made because as
yet nothing definite is known of their

to eight white men as the murderers.
Warren and Austin were arrested by
the sheriff and three deputies who were
armed with Winchesters. A mob at
once beseiged Them in the depot and
kilograms were sent for aid. The gov
ernOr ordered troops TO the scenc from
Brunswick. On their arrival. an effort
was made to place the prisoners on \
train. Before this could be done, 1t
was necessary to brain several of the
mob with the butt ends of their mus
kets. Great excitement prevails and
the military will be kept here in readi-
ness for any trouble on Friday, when
the prisoners will be brought back for
trial, and other arrests of prominent
white men who are believed TO belong
to the Ku Klux will be made.
Most of the negroes in the town and
vicinity have gone into the woods
through fear of personal violence. The
friends of the arrested parties are
alarmed for their safety and have
armed themselves and will assist the
military in protecting the prisoners.
If necessary the governor will order
out more troops.

Montgomery.
NEW York, Aug. l0.-The New York
Independents, in its issue today, con-
tains an article by the Rev. NJ. W..
Montgomery, which is approved by
Doremus Scudder and Dora NJ. Scud-
der, giving for the first time the Scud-
der's family story of the alleged
crimes of DIR. Harry Scudder and his
subsequent suicide. DIR. Montgomery
says that the family of DR.. Scudder
deny emphatically every charge made
against HIM except that of removing
the tin box which contained the. will,
to which they attach no blame. He
says:
at is to attempt to right this great
wrong; to vindicate the truth of his
story; to prevent an innocent and no.
ble man from being condemned with
out hearing; to relieve in some small
degree the aching hearts of this cele-
brated missionary family, who have
had tobe silent, and to give others the
facts tho learning of which has gwen
me 80 much sad relief that / have en-
tirely voluntarily. written these iines."
Concerning the arrest of DR.. Scudder
and the occurrences on Sunday, Feb
ruary z, DIR. Montgomery says they
tended TO excite DIR. Scudder and un-
settle his mind.
Mrs. Dora Scudder, in her statement,
says of the incidents of the death of her
mother:
"Mamma's Querulousness had pro-
duced an altercatioii up stairs and the
girls came down much agitated. Celia
afterward told me that on reaching the
parlor hall my husband came out Of
the parlor, having heard the altcrca-
ton up stirs, and asked what was the
matter"
"'Oh! Oh! She's wild.'" Celia re-
piled.
Cecilia had hardly reached the
kitchen before mamma was heard to
scream. There was but one sharp,
piercing scream, followed by the sound
of sore one running up stairs. There
was no succession of the screams, nor
auy cry of other words whatever.

Rus,lers Admitted to BAH.

CEyENNE, Wyo-, Aug. 10.-Judge
Scott decided today to accept bail from
the stockmen for the reason that Sher-
iff Kelly absolutely refused TO pay the
expense any longer of holding them.
He notified the prisoners last night that
after the breakfast this morning he
would no longer feed or guard them,
consequently Judge Scott decided that
they should be bailed in SIC, 900 each
for their appearance on the 22d, the
time set for the trial 10 commence. A
bond WAS prepared with each prisoner
signed subsequently in the sum of &c.
900, which virtually allows them TO go
on their own recognIzxhce. There
were forty-two of the prisoners thus
released.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. lO.-Ihls after.
noon Chief of Police Davis received 8
letter informing him that Col. H. Clay
King would be taken from the jail to-
night and hanged or shot to death by q
mob. The latter also stated that pre-
parations were on foot to form such q
mob - would be able 70 storm the Jail
no matter what force would be placed
behind the bars. The north-bound
Newport News & Mississippi Valley
train stopped IN the rear of the jail and
Colonel King, in company with his son
Naughton. quickly emerged from the
PRISON and got on board. They were
accompanied by the sheriff. The trio
will proceed to Fulton where they will
board q Knoxville & Chattanooga train
and go thence to Nashville. The Nash
VILE Il Chattanooga train will meet the
Louisville tram from Memphis at Nc
Kenzie and there is q remote possibility
that the prisoner may be intercepted
there.
Storm Of Indignation.
Never was there another such storm
of Indignation aroused IN this city as
that caused by the action Of Governor
Buchanan in committing Kings sem
tence 10 Imprisonment for life. I'M
mediatcly after the sentence of King
by the supreme court his wife whom he
had made in former years gave Mrs.
Pillow, q woman whom King loved
better than her, and to whom he owed
his highest duty, . certificate Of char
acter by compelling her to visit HIM
and Mrs. Pillow on their Arkansas
plantation. began her work in his be-
half. The friends Of Dave POston, the
man whom he had murdered, prepared
q petition to the governor praying him
to allow the law to take its course.
This was signed by thousands of the
best citizens in all parts of the state
Then the federal court refused to in
terfere and ex-Attoiney General Gar
land was taken into the case.
Buchanan Weakened.
Governor Buchanan received letters
and petitions from Senators Carlisle
and Blackburn of Kentucky, Voorhees,
of Indiana, the two senators from
Texas, Congressman Culberson and the
entire Texas congressional delegation,
also w. L. Breckinridge OF Kentucky.
Other petitions were received from
Governor Hogg, Governor Francis, ex-
! Governor Taylor Of this state and
many from persons beyond the state.
Governor Buchanan 10 being r0undly
denounced and there ID some unfavor-
able comments on the part taken by
Senator Harris. Grover Cleveland Is
also mixed up in the business. The
widow of observation-disclosures King
of Kentucky, II. Clay Kings sister,
who married her cousin, wrote to Mr..
Cleveland IN regard TO the matter and
Mr.. Cleveland IN his reply said he had
only superficial knowledge OF the case
but from what he knew hoped that
the death sentence would not be exc
cuted. Mr.. Cleveland's letter was Mt
once forwarded 70 the governor, and
this afternoon when Mr.. Cleveland q
action became known he also was
soundly denounced. When Colonel
King left the Jail he said he had been
uDjustly treated and denounced by
those who threatened to take the law
into their own hands.
