Scene of the Tragedies. -

Berry Tarner, the Hunted Man, Has KILLED
More Men Than Any Other Who Has
Ever Terrorized This Section, and is Sup
ported by Strong Gaug--The Opposing
Faction Claim to Bave the Law on Their
Side, but SO Far They Have Been Getting
the Hot End of the Fght.l
PINEvuLE, KY, Jan. 30.-A factional
feud that promises to rival in blood
shedding the famous Hotfield- Mccoy, or
any of the other desperate factional wars
which have made this section of Ken
lucky notorious, has broken out in the
southern part of this county.
The scene is wild, mountainous local
ity known as South America, and is about
eighteen miles from the nearest railroad
point. Owing to the inaccessibility of
the place particulars of the fight are
hard to obtain.
Three men have been killed since last
Saturday. Their names are Manuel
Parton, Lee Davis and Will Jones. The
fight is between Berry Turner, notori-
GUS outlaw and murderer, who has killed
more men than any other man who has
ever terrorized this section with strong
gang, and the Parton faction. The Par
ton side is a strong one, and claim to
have the law on their side, but so far
they have had the hot end of the fight.
Parton was killed Saturday. He had
essayed to capture Berry Turner, dead or
alive, and posted himself at convenient
distance from the house in which Turner
was fortified with a number of his gang.
q 1t was probably Parton's intention
to shoot Turner at the first opportunity,
but the latter had too much cunning.
The outlaw discovered the whereabouts
of his would-be slayer and at an I'M
guarded momeut succeeded in drawing a
bead on the latter and sent ball from
his Winchester crashing through Par
toms head. The body of Parton was al
lowed to lie in the woods for four days,
his friends being afraid to attempt to res
cue it. When 1t was finally taken away,
the body had been partially devoured by
hogs.
This murder only fired the Parton fac
ton to more desperate warfare against
the Turner side and on Wednesday they
made a bold attempt to avenge the death
of one of their men.
The act was disastrous to the Partons
as two more of their number were
killed.
The Partons had surrounded the Tur-
ner stronghold, but instead of taking
the army, were themselves taken in
They were fired upon from the Turner
house, and before they could realize that
their presence had been discovered, Lee
Davis and Bill Jones, two of the leading
men of the Parton faction, had been
pierced by bullets from the deadly Win
chester.
More than hundred shots were ex-
changed and some of the Turner faction
are said to have been wounded. There is
talk of organizing a posse of officers from
this county, and from Clairbourne coun-
ty, Tenn, to attempt the capture of Tur-
ner and big fight will undoubtedly fol-

A GROWING TOWN.

The Discovery of Rich Silver Ore Increases
the Population 1900 in Two Weeks.
CREEDE, Cal, Jan. 30.-Much excite
ment has been caused here by the find
ing in the Jack Pot claim of ore bearing
220 ounces of silver to the ton.
The population of Creole two weeks
ago was 1000. To-day it is $500, and
two trains day are greatly swelling
that number.
There are few houses in the place, and
rs cents is the price charged to secure a
place on the barroom floor, the dodgers
to furnish their own blankets and other
covering.
1t is expected the population of the
town will reach IS, 900 by May /.

who Got the Money?

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-An audit of
the books of the outgoing health officer,
Joseph G. Patterson, has disclosed de-
fciency of 81, 779.57. In addition to this,
on an examination of the books relative
to the payment to the city of costs in the
abatement of nuisances loss of $40, 234-
50 has come to light No suspicion,
however, attaches to Mr.. Patterson in
connection with these deficiencies. Cir
cumstances point rather to former
clerk in the health Office, who is known
to have been guilty of similar offences.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Hartford Post, in double leads and bold
face figures, makes a feeble attempt to
show that the course pursued by the
democratic majority in the senate
has cost the state S125, 900. We do not
question the accuracy of the figures, but
that the loss should be charged to the ac-
count of the democratic senate, we do
most emphatically deny. Until the
election process is completed no bust
ness can be done without completely
sacrificing the principles of popular
government. The republican house has
refused to make declaration of the re-
turns as provided by the constitution.
And not only that, but the members ne.
glect to attend the sessions of the house.
Week after week the democratic men,
bers visit the capitol, ready and anxious
to do business, but the great body of re-
publicans are conspicuous by their at
sence, and, lacking quorum, no bust
ness can be done. The democrats are
are not to blame for this condition of
affairs. They have never filibustered,
and never will, except to prevent a long
adjournment. The absenteeism of the
republican members shows that they
are utterly Indifferent now that Mr.
Buckley has been declared governor.
Anything to keep out the democrats,
seems to be their motto.

CHILTs apology, or the manner and
time, at least, in;which it was conveyed
to congress, may precipitate domestic
war between President Harrison and
Secretary Blaine. 1t is said that Presi-
dent Harrison knew that Mr. Blaine had
received verbal assurances from the
Gillian minister that the apology would
in due time be forthcoming from his
government, before he sent the ultima
tum, but he feared that the credit of
obtaining the apology through the ordi-
nary diplomatic channels would all go
MIR Blaine, SO he sent the ultimatum to
Chill and the correspondence and his
message to CONGRESS, in order that he
might claim tEe credit for having
frightened Chill into apologizing. Mr.
Blaine resents this stealing of his
thunder, and is credited with having
said that it woul cost Mr. Harrison the
presidential NOT nation of his party.
Whether this sto be true or not, it is
highly creditabl to the democrats in
congress that they accepted the presi-
dents message in perfect good faith and
were prepared to support the demands
of the administr tion, even to the ex-
tent of declara, on of war, when the
situation was cleared by Chilis apology.
They believed the demands of this
government were just, and that was
enough for them as good citizens and
patriotic Americans. Now, however, it
begins to look rs if the fundamental
reason for the war message was that it
would be good politics, from the adj
ministration al.dpoint. The apology
has deprived Pr, ,ident Harrison of the
glory he had anti 'ipated from the con-
Quoting of foreign war, where the
odds were all in Lis favor.

Sciences superscding Classics.

Prof Virchow, who has Just assumed
the rectorship of the Berlin university.
evidently believes in scientific rather
tnan classical studies for young men.
In recent address he said: Gram
matte schooling is no longer the aid to
progressive development necessary to
our youth, or which generates the love
of learning that is the first condition
to independent development; there are
now other fields of learning whose
methods are SO far carried out that
they arc perfectly able to fulfill what
ls' necessary; there are mathematics,
philosophy and the natural sciences;
they afford the young mind such a
secure foundation that it can easily
make itself at home in any faculty.
On the development of these three
sciences rests the whole of our western
culture, culture which ripcned a
Christopher Columbus, to whose genius
and energy allow me to pay deserved
tribute The university is not merely
an institution for acquiring knowledge,
but also one for examination and ex.
