A LOUISIANA OUTRAGE.
A Peaceable Negro Taken Out and

A Peaceable Negro Taken Out and
Fatally Injured by White Men.
NEW ORLEANS, March ga dastard-
ly outrage was committed at Arcadia,
in Bienville parish, Saturday, on Dennis
Cobb, a well-to-do and peaceable negro.
His house was visited at night by five
white men, who called him to the door
and told him to accompany them a few
yards. Cobb did as he was told, and
when his captors had gone hundred
yards they threw plow line around his
neck, dragged him to tree and threw
the END over limb. The struggling
negro was pulled into the air, and while
dangling his captors began to fire irto
his body. One rifle ball struck him in
the neck near the jugular vein, a load
of buckshot tore away the flesh of one
arm, and another bullet pierced his
abdomen, and a load of shot lacerated
his thigh.
Cobb was left for dead but with su-
perhuman strength raised himself
enough to loosen the moose from his
neck. His struggles caused the limb
from which he hung to break and he
fell to the ground. He was half dead
but managed to crawl home, only to die
after few hours. Budd Craighead and
Nat Nicholson were arrested for the
crime and have been taken to Sparta for
trial. No cause can be assigned for the
outrage and the arrested men protest
their innocence

ARTISTS IN WAX.
Marvellous Skill in Initiating Fruits,
Grain, Leaves, Etc.

Marvellous skill in Initiating Fruits,
Grain, Leaves, Etc.
WASHINGTON, March 30. One of the
most interesting portions of the agricul-
tural departments exhibit of the worlds
fair will be the models of plants illus
trating the attacks of the various insects
and diseases which destroy them. To
make these models, which have to be
absolutely true to nature, two English
artists of marvellous ability have been
engaged. They are brother and sister,
and in this work far excel any others,
having taken medals for their work at
the worlds fair held in London, in 1851,
and at frequent intervals since. The
models of fruits are made of wax, and
such remarkable skill has been exercised
in their manufacture that it is only by
the closest scrutiny that they are to be
told from the real article. One speci-
men, a piece of apple, containing grub,
which has eaten its way into its center,
is so perfect that when compared with
the original not the slightest difference
can be detected. Even when held to the
light it is translucent in the same spots
as in the real apple. Marvellous dexter
ity is shown in making the most delicate
leaves in the most perfect manner. A
very skillful piece Of work by these art
lists is stalk Of corn, showing the ear
destroyed by worms The husk is
stripped back, exposing an ear with the
silk hanging down. The stalk itself is
a work of art, but the ear is perfection
itself. The destruction of potato vine
by potato bugs is another very skillfully
executed piece of work, though the bugs
are SO natural that it is rather unpleas-

A MINISTER MURDERED.

Shot Dead from window While Preach
ing to His Flock.
AUGUSTA, Ga, March 29.-Informa-
ton has been received here from Allen
dale, s. c., of the murder of Bishop"
Jones, colored minister, last Thurs
day evening in the most sensational
manner. Jones was an Augusta
preacher for many years, but gave up
his charge some time ago and went to
Allendale, where he started church.
He succeeded in getting large follow
ing of women and few of the most
arrant male sinners of the town. The
women were particularly attentive to
the Rev. Mr., Jones, and by and by the
iealousies of the husbands became
aroused. The result was an attempt to
drive the Bishop from the town. But
he would not be driven. In spite Of bitter
persecution he held his ground. The
feeling against him increased among
the male portion of the town, while the
women came to his support and pro-
vided him with plenty of funds.
The affair eliminated Thursday even
ing. Service was being held in the
"Holy Temple and the minister was
delivering himself of an eloquent SER
mon. Suddenly the muzzle of gun
was thrust threw window and was in
stantly discharged. Immediately all
the lights in the Temple went out. A
panic ensued from the flock. Women
Screamed and tainted, and all expected
to meet the fate of the preacher. A
light was secured and, when the min
lister was found, he was dead, having
been shot through the breast. A re-
ward has been offered for the apprehen-
sion of the guilty parties.

UNNECESSARY.
A Restriction of the Slaughter
of the Fur Seals.
That is the Opinion the British
Premier Has.

He Suggests That Arbitrators Could As
sess Damages in Case They Decided the
Question in Our Favor Important
Conference on the Subject Monday
Morning at the white House.
LONDON, March 29.--Under date Of
March 26, Lord Salisbury replied to Sir
Julian Pauncefote, in response to Act
ing Secretary Wharton's note Of
March 90.
The premier says that Canadian seal
ers have been notified that they are LA
BILE to interruption while in Behring
sea, and that they sail subject to that
notice.
He does not think restriction of
slaughter on the islands necessary, and
suggested that the arbitrators could
assess the damages in the event of
their finding in favor of the United
States.
In later note he more fully states
the damage question by saying:
II am ready to consent to reference
on this point on the following terms:
That in case the arbitrators shall decide
in favor of the British government. that
government may ask them further to
decide whether the United States gov
ernment has, since 1885, taken any ac-
tion in Behring sea directly inficting
wrongful loss on British subjects, and,
il SO. to assess the damages incurred
thereby; that in case the arbitrators
shall decide in favor Of the government
of the United States, that government
may ask them to decide further whether
the British government has, since 1885,
taken action in Behring sea directly in
fiicting wrongful loss on the United
States or their lessees, and, if SO, to
assess the damages incurred thereby"
Under dato of June IA, 1890. Sir Julian
addressed note to Secretary Blaine, in
which he advises Mr.. Blaine that his
government has heard with regret of
the action of the government Nof the
United States with reference to interfer-
ing with Canadian sealers, and in the
following language enters protest.:
"The undersigned is in consequence
instructed formally to protest against
such interference. and to declare that
her Britannia majesty's government
must hold the government of the Unit |
States responsible for the consequences
that may ensue from acts which are
contrary to the established principles Of
the international law"

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-Accord.
ing to advlces just received from Shang-
hal the bloody engagements recently
between imperial troops and rebels in
northern China resulted in the slaugh-
ter of several thousand rebels. The
imperial army had only five killed and
forty-fve wounded. Over 5000 rebels
were put to death with the sword, and
500 actually burned alive. A number
of engagements are reported. A body
of insurgents, numbering 300, were
overtaken by the imperialists at a place
sixty miles from Kulun, and over one
hundred of them were killed and three
leaders made prisoners. In a second
engagement over fifty of the enemy
were put to the sword, and the re-
mainder were obliged to retire to a
pawn shop, the strong walls of which
made it an admirable place to defend.
The imperialists closely invested the
building and killed over 150 of the in
mates.
Intelligence later reached the inn
perialists' camp that a force of the
enemy, comprising 600 cavalry and 800
infantry had arrived, with the object of
coming to the rescue of their confeder-
ates. They were attacked in front and
rear by the imperial forces, and lost 400
men during the battle. Those who es-
capped encountered another party of i'm
perialists, who shot fifty of them and
made score of prisoners. Another de-
tachment of rebels was posted at
Meiyaokoutze, to which place the i'm
perials continued their march. The
rebel detachment numbered about one
hundred of which sixty were killed and
twenty made prisoners among the lat

guard. Ii Hung gsa, who was instantly
decapitated.
A sill larger force of the enemy was
posted in the Chen Chang district,
where they had an encampment, with
guns fitted up in loopholes of the walls
surrounding the villages. An onslaught
was made upon their position, and after
an engagement lasting two hours, 800
out of total of 1900 were put to the
sword.
About 500 of the rest were burned
alive, and, including stragglers, it is es-
timated that not less than 1,400 Of the
enemy were killed on this occasion. A
great number of the adherents of the
new creed were captured, including
three leaders, who were instantly de-
capitated.

miles west of this city, great excitement
exists over the finding of the dead body
of little girl, aged five years, and

family of John Lane, and it transpired
that Lane had been beating it in most
cruel manner. He was missed from
his home Friday evening, and the house
was closed.
A number of citizens went to the
house and broke open the doors. On en-
tering the house they found the little
girl lying dead on the floor, one arm and
her back broken, and her body covered
with cuts and bruises. Officers and citi-
zens are searching for Lane and if he is
captured it is certain there will be no
expense in trying him, for he will be

1t is a pretty good sign of the times,
these numerous changes among Trans
Missouri railways, OF late. The lively
competition in last trains between the
Rocky mountains and eastern points;
the various new railway projects IN hand,
and the absorbing attention this section
of the west is now receiving from all the
noted railway inanciers Of the day, I'M
mistakably indicate that, despite the
general cry Of dull times, the west has
been making the most substantial prog
ress, and will grow much faster in the
immediate future.
As a factor in this growth the railroads
are entitled to much larger share of
credit than is accorded them by the aver
age man. In the single item OF annihi-
lating time, which is now the chief basis
OF competition, they are working out
benefits for the Rocky mountain region
that are of untold value. Twenty years
ago it struck terror to the hearts OF most
men to suggest trip from the Mississippi
valley to the Rockies. Ten years ago
there was some improvement in the situa-
ton, but not much. Five years ago even,
most of the people who came west brought
with them visions Of wild Apaches and
bowie-knived COW boys. To-day there are
ten people travelling over the western
lines where one made the trip five years
ago, and the best and safest train service
in the world is given them. The cutting
down of fares to reasonable prices and
the competition in time now going on
must surely prove of great value to the
people Of the Rocky mountain region.

NOT COLORADO LINE.


But strictly lin it" Just the same.
There are many lines of railway that
are in the direct route of travel between
the east and west that do not have their
own rails running into Denver. One of
the best of these is the old reliable Wa
bash Line. Kansas City and Omaha are
its western terminals. This road is run
ming through cars into and ont of Denver
in connection with the Rock Island
Route" and makes close connection at
Kansas City in both directions, with all
the Denver lines.
From glance at the map one can
readily see that the Wabash Route for
St. Louis, Chicago, Toledo, Detroit, Cleve-
land, Buffalo, Boston, New York, and i'll
fact all the eastern points, comes MS near
being an air line as can possibly be OBJ
tanned. AS for their services, it is the
best in the east in every respect.
The western interests of the Wabash
are looked after by Mr.. G. M. Hampson
commercial agent, whose Office is at 1927
18th street, Denver, who will gladly fur
nish any one upon application, either in
person or by mail, with rates, maps, etc.
Remember that tickets via this popular
route can be obtained at any coupon
ticket office in the west. II you have not
already done so give this route a trial and
be convinced of its superior facilities.

RNrHc Mexican Lead Ores.

A fight will be made in congress at this
session to admit Mexican silver.lead ores
free of duty. There is very little doubt
that the house will pass bill to that
effect and that the real fight will occur in
the senate. Such bill should not be
passed, for it would place the lead miners
of the United States in competition with
the cheap labor of Mexico. At one time
there was strong pressure brought to
bear for the free admission of such ore.
1t was chiefly in the interest of the owners
of lead mines IN Mexico and the owners
of smelters in Ell Paso. Within a recent
time the situation has changed. There
are now smelters in Mexico and the Mex
lean government is not in favor of the
shipment of silver-lead ores out of that
country The tariff on Mexican ore has
stimulated the mining interests of the
southern part of New Mexico, and many
miners are employed there who would
have to be discharged-the mines being

The Associated Press states that the
owners of number of the largest tin

their manufacturing business to the
United States. This result would have
been accomplished few months after
the passage of the Mckinley act if the
elections OF 1890 had not encouraged for
eign manufacturers to hope for the speedy
abandonment Of the protection system.
When the act was passed there were
hundreds of representatives of European
capital and industry in the United States
looking about for sites for new factories
and making arrangements for the transfer
of machinery and business to American
soil. An overwhelming Republican de.
feat interrupted the movement. The
investors went back to Europe con.
