The Art students League.

The exhibition of work dore in the schools Of
the Art Students League has now closed and
the temporarily interrupted study of its men,
bers has been resumed. The league certainly
has reason to be proud Of this exhibition. The
number of visitors was very large and the ex-
pressions Of interest and approval most gra;ify-
ing. Among those whose appreciation was
most welcome We're several noted painters from
out Of town who were in the city
The exhibition will be followed Monday even
ing. May %, by the annual meeting of the
league. At the commencement of another
school year this organization has reason TO con-
graduate itself on its prosperity and progress
during the past one. Recognizing that its
members deserve encouragement in their sd-
mirable efforts TO conduct an art school where
the best instruction shall be afforded at a very
low cost, number of generous people have
given valuable assistance. The character OF
the exhibition Just given is q proof the assist
ance is well deserved
The Art students League is, as is generally
known. cooperative art school. and has finely
appointed ROOMS st sos 18th street. Seven oil
Tie leading artists Of the city are its in

ALLEY MISSIONS.
The Subject Discussed at q Large Meeting in
the Congregational Church.

The subject of alley missions, already de-
scribed in The STAR, was brought before a very
large gathering in the First Congregational
Church yesterday afternoon, the meeting being
presided over by Mrs. La Fetra, who has taken
a most active part in the work. Beside Mrs
La Fetra sat several ministers, representing
different denominations, and many prominent
missionary workers.
Mr. La Fetra explained the purpose of the
meeting. TO further the work by enlisting the
support of the people of the District, and said
that she had intended relating some of her ex-
Feriences obtained in investigating the alleys Of
the city and the lives and condition of those
who are forced to dwell therein. but the news
papers had SO graphically described much Of
what she had seen that she thought it unneces-
sary to further dwell upon the sad scenes she
saw. She would say, however. that the newspa-
pers had not oyerdrawn the picture. Mrs. La Fetra
then presented the Rev. Walter III. Brooks. pas
tor Of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church.
colOred, who described the condition in which
he had found those unfortunate beings who
dwell in the alleys of Washington. While he
believed in the establishment of foreign mis-
siOns. he thought there was a greater field for
missionary work among such people at our very
doors and il seemed that the need for such mis-
sions was much more imperatively needed.
Rev. Z. 5. Todd of the Hamline II. E.
Church thought it best to first care for the
heathel at home and then for those in foreign
lands. Mrs. s. III. Martin, manager of the
Clicks Alley Mission. told of the good work
done there, but said that money was sadly
needed to sustain the mission Rev. F. D.
Power Of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church.
Rev. E. o. Eldridge Of the Douglass Memorial
Chapel and Rev. Chas. z. Pate of the Twelfth
Street NJ. E. Church also briefly addressed the
meeting, commencing the movement in the
most earnest manner.
Mrs. La Fetra stated that mission would
shortly be established in Willow Tree alley. and
in response 10 her request for aid s75 was con-
tributed By those present. She also stated that
Mrs. Williams. No. s44 T street northwest would
receive contributions and furnish all informa-
uon concerning the work

HEADLEsS BODIES FOUND.
The tsrnsins Of Fifteen Men and Women
and of Two Children Discoxered

The I:.rnsins Of Fifteen Men and Women
ana IF Two Children Discovered.
most CHASTITY discovery was made by Harvey
Thomas, prospector, in the mountains to the
south of salt Lake City. He had been trying
to follow blind lead for some time under the
belief that he would find an old abandoned
mine. of which there have been MANY stories
told in that part Of the country. He followed
what he considered an old trail deep into the
mountains and came to place which showed
signs OF having been once inhabited. Deep in
a canon. which was almost hidden at the mouth
by heavy growth Of bushes and vines he
found a stone house. This was small and had
apparently been made for the purpose of hold
ing something which was never to get out. for
there was neither door nor window. The place
showed such evidence Of great age that Thomas
had no scrup1es in breaking into the house. and
the sight which met his gaze when he did SO
nearly caused him to faint.
:. Lying on the hoor and proPped mp around
the walls of the little stone house were the
headless bodies Of seventeen people. The bodies
had been prepared IN some way and retained
their form and appearance az il they had been
dead only short time. But not a head was
found about the place. The bodies were those
OF men and women and two children.
On reporting the discovery an investigation
was made and the belief is general that the
bodies are the remains Of the people who were
killed In one Of the many early Mormon wars
which took place when the country vas being
settled. What has been done with the heads Il
a mystery which no one has attempted 70 solve.
There was nothing about the bodies to give the
slightest clue to their identity.

TRAIN ROBBERS REFUSED.
They Killed an Express Messenger Before
Being Beaten OF.

Being Beaten OF.
Four masked and desperate robbers made a
determined but unsuccessful attempt to rob the
north bound train on the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key West railway at Lonely Hammock sta
ton. The express messenger, Saunders, and
Soliciting Agent l. NJ. Cox .grappled with the
robbers and made plucky fight. Saunders
WAS killed and Cox wounded. The robbers did
not succeed in getting anything.
Soliciting Agent i. NJ. Cox of the Southern
Express Company reached jacksonville. Fla.
Saturday morning. ard went direct to his heme
in Riverside suburb, where he was seen by q re-
porter. to whom he told the following story of
the attempted train robbery near Sanford:
II was on train No. IA this morning and when
we had reached the little station of Monroe. Jus;
this side of Sanford. the train was waved down
by man with q lantern. who supposed was
the agent. A man got On and we had started off
slowly, when / noticed man standing on the
platform OF the express car, just outside of the
door.
Saunders and myself were sitting close to-
gether on q trunk near the door, aud on see
ing the man l asked Saunders who it was He
threw open the door to see who it was and as
he did so two men jumped in, each with a re-
volver. and ordered hands up As the CON-
mand was uttered Saunders grabbed the first
man, who was already in the car. and the
Other. linen a terrible encounter took place
The men both had pistols, and we were un.
armed. Saunders had endeavored to get his
pistol, but without success. Firing commenced
at the outset, and they put it to us hot and
heavy. We held our own. however, with such
odds against us, and succeeded in throwing
my man out and closing the door. Meanwhile
Saunders had received mortal wounds, and
staggered through the car to the end. where be
fell. In the excitement / scarcely recognized
that had been shot"
J. s. Gilbert, baggage master, says that HI
heard shots, and Immediately went forward t.
| see what was up. At the front ooor of the car
stood the fourth robber, medium-sized man
with dark hair and mustache. who had mar.
row-brimmed, soft felt hat pulled down over
his eyes. The robber grabbed Gilbert by the
coat lapel with one hand and thrust big pisto
| in his face with the other, saying: "'1heres one
dead man lying there and another in the car
| and if you know what's healthy for you you'll
get into the express car in hurry"
OF course, Gilbert did as ordered

THAT DETROIT CONFERENCE.
John M. rhurston Tells Some Things Abou,

"Unless Blaine says positively he will not &C
cept the nomination if !! is rendered to him
think the Minneapolis convention will choose
him as Its candidate for the presidency
1t was in these words that John NJ Thurstor
expressed his opinion on the republican presi-
dental nomination at the Grand Pacific in Chi
cago saturday night. He had Just arrived from
Detroit, where he attended the so-called politi
cal conference held at Gen. Algers house
After expressing this opinion he added: "And
it makes me feel good when 1 think about the
success that awaits Blaine and the republican
party"
Then he smiled It was one of the few smiles
that have illumined the Nebraska mans face
since the publication of the Blaine letter. HI
WAS very happyand talked freely abou,
the prospects for the nomination of the
Secretary of State He said the meeting al
the Alger residence could not be called politi
cal conference. We talked of everything.
said he. "All about the crops, the
weather and the floods. and incidentally abou,
| the food of Blaine sentiment that has spread
over the entire country. We were all Blaine
men. there was not federal Office holder in the
party, and think it was the opinion of every
man there that Blaine would be the next Presi
dent
The party comprised Fassett of New York
Langston of Virginia, Filey Of Missouri, San.
born of Michigan, Mr.. Garrison and wife, and
my wife and myself, besides q few ladies and
gentlemen from Detroit. The ladies talked
about things in which they were interested and
we about matters in which we were interested
l think it was the opinion of all that Blaine's
nomination would prove the sure road to sue
CESS
did Mr.. Fassett think Harrison could carry
New York?''
That is hardly fair question. l would moi
care to repeat what Mr.. Fassett said in that re-
gard. While was in New York recently
talked to many of the leaders Of the party and
they seem to think that Harrson's success in
the state il by no means assured. They are
positive Blaine can carry the state and for this
reason they desire his nomination.
'Biaine's letter is not considered final, and
unless he says, before the convention, he will
not accept the nomination, it will be given him.
He is good republican, aud believe his par y
has the right to require this service from him,
as it would certainly result in good to the party
at large.
No. the ticket Blaine and AIger' was not
suggested at the conference; neither do know
whether or not Gen. Alger wonld accept the
second place. He is an ardent Blaine man, and,
l believe. will bring all the support he can to
him if the latter allows his name to be pre-
sented. In any other l believe Alger will
be a candidate for the first place and his state
will support him solidly in the convention

sidy outlined the principles of new burial
reform society, which is to be organized at
once in that city. The object Of the organize
ton is, in brief, to simplify and cheaper mod
ern burial customs, abolish Grape, flowers,
expensive funeral trappings and all pagan de-
vices, and adhere to the observance Of sanitary
measures by committing bodies to the soil, in
stead OF placing them in vaults, &c. The results
OF such society which has existed for some
time in London are said to be most satisfac-
