THE ROCK CREEK PARK.
Probable Action OF the House Committee
on Appropriations.

HroD0Olo Action OF the House Committee
on Appropriations.
It is probable that the House committee on
appropriations will either report adversely on
the resolution to investigate the Rock Creek
Park will recommend that the subject be re-
ferred to the committee on Judiciary. The lat
ter course is probably the one which will be
taken.
The hearing yesterday developed the fact
that the commission does not ask for q de-
fciency appropriation or any appropriation at
all, and therefore the question does not come
within the jurisdiction Of the appropriations
committee.
If there is any question at issue il is one Of law
solely, and that, Of course. can only be consid-
cred by the judiciary committee. The
hearing, however, made it appear doubt
full whether even q question of law is
involved, as Mr.. Perry, in his statement, showed
there is no disposition on the part OF the COM
mission to hold any different view from that
which is made plain in the act.

Hurley Found Guilty. but . Disagreement
as to Cross.
Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court in
the case Of Ebenezer P. Cross and John Hurley
charged with violating the policy law, pub
lished in yesterdays STAR, the government
closed its case about 8 o'clock and Mr.. Car
rington. for the defendants, asked for o con-
tinuance until next week.
Judge Miller said he wanted to finish the
case as soon possible and told counsel if he
had any witnesses he could call them.
After lengthy argument on the motion for
a continuance the court overruled the motion
and the case was then argued to the jury.
Judge Miller charged the jury as to the law
and the evidence, and held that the acts of
persons in Virginia affecting the business in
this city came within the law relating to this
jurisdiction, and counsel noted an exception to
the ruling.
The case was concluded and about s o'clock
the jury returned verdict of guilty as to Hur-
ley and were unable to agree as to Cross.
The case OF the man convicted will be taken
to the General Term on writ of error.
Cross, as heretofore published, was alleged
to be the hacker of the ''old firm" on the. vir-
ginia side of the Free bridge, and Hurley it was
claimed was Q clerk in his employ.
There is q similar charge pending against
Mr.. ]. P. Horbach, alleging that he is con-
nected with the new firm," but that case has
not yet been set for trial.

NEGROES TO RESENT LYScnING.
MoDETic, TEX. May LITTLE negroes Of
this section have formed secret organiza-
ton, having for its Object the protection
of the race. This protection is not only
| to be extended to the members of the or
| ganization, but to any colored man who
has been made the victim of the white
mans summary proceedings when the
c0lored man is suspected Of violating the
laws. A committee known "as the bloody
| three" is at the head of the organization,
and II has the power to say what punish
ment shall be meted out to these falling
under its disfayor, Tie order is oath
bound and any member Of the order who
fails to carry out the DEGREES Of the 'bloody
| three forfeits his life. The idea of the
organization is to impress upon the white
| that they cannot go ON lynching negroes
with impunity, merely on suspicion.

CLAIMS TO BE CHEST.
An Old Fraud who is Causing Trouble
and Bloodshed in Mexico.

Ell PAso TEX, May 1.-THE Mexican
government has taken severe measures
against the village of Fomachic, which is
situated in Southwest Chihuahua, on the
road to Jesus Maria. The village has been
in rebellion against the government for
several months. The cause of the trouble
was the appearance in the village about a
year ago of an old man with long white
hair and beard, whom the priest of the
village proclaimed was the true Christ,
who had come to save them.
The people quit their fields and locked
to the supposed Christ and carried on
solemn ceremonies day and night. The
government sent troops to the place to dis
perse the crowd and arrest the supposed
Christ, but the priest exhorted the people
to kill the soldiers and drive them away,
which they did, killing large number
and driving the rest back through the
mountains.
The government sent representative to
| inform the people that ii they would dis
| perse the matter would be dropped. They
| drove the representative away. AS soon as
| this news reached the government u large
| detachment of cavalry and infantry were
| started for the scene to attack the place on
all sides and clean it out,
The soldiers were last seen two days from
Tomachic, and said the attack would take
] place May 9th. The people at Tomachit
are well armed and desperate. They arc
| nearly starved out, but are firm believers
in the alleged Christ among them. A
runner was expected in the City of Chi
huahua last night with news, but has moi
| vet arrived
