SIX JUDGES IN CONTEMPT.
They Refused to Order Tax Levy as Com
manded By United States Court.

KANSAS CITY, March s.-Twenty years
ago il was proposed by outside alleged
capitalists TO build the Tebo 81 Neosha
railroad. To aid thelenterprise ST. Clair and
Cass counties each voted S75o,oOO in bonds.
The road was never built. and the coun-
ties repudiated their Indebtedness. The
bonds, however, fell into the hands of in
nocent third parties. who brought suit and
obtained Judgment against each county.
Up to the present time the counties have
successfully resisted the collection of the
judgment. Recently United States Judge
Phillips ordered the county judges to make
q special tax levy for the purpose of liq-
uida ting the Indebtedness. The county
judges, as we'll as the people of the coun-
ties. we're determined not to pay for what
they did not receive and declined to make
the special levy. Judge Phillips declared
them to be in contempt of his court, and
ordered them TO appear before him March
8 to receive their sentence. The judges
pleaded for time in which to arrange q
compromise, and Judge Phillips gave them
until March 81. So intenee is the popular
prejudice against paying this railroad debt

would attach to the responsibility of pro-
viding for its payment, the county judges.

sent to him, and said that if money reached
him he might be able to buy his release
from captivity. Not long afterward he
died at Omdurmann of consumption. and
the report was sent north that his funeral
had been conducted in public with Moham-
medan ceremonies. Slatn Bey was reported
also to have died, but Father Ohrwa]der
says he is still alive.
The captlves who have just escaped took
advantage Of a festival to get outside of the
walls unObserved, and there they found
friends who had camels ready for them,
and provisions for the march down the
Nile and across the wide desert to
Wada Halfa. Their long exposure to the
tropical sun had so bronzed their
features that they looked like natives of
the Soudan. whose clothing they wore. and
their perfect acquaintance with Arabic en-
abled them to pass among the Mahdist
tribes on the northward journey without
revealing themselves. They made q very
lucky escape. The friends of all the prls-
oners had long ago given up hopes of ever
seeing them again. This is about all that
is yet known of the fate of the
prisoners of the Soudan. No incident of
the remarkable uprising which cost ERype
her provinces is moro pathetic than the
story of the unfortunate handful of white
men and women who we're caught in that
fanatical revolution. and. finding all meant

them succumbed to the hardshIps of their
unhappy lot.

Death of q Man Whose Name Was In Every

New York Sun.
Eduard Franz Ludwig Kullmann. who
died n few days ago In prison In Amberg,
Germany. tried to kill Prince Bismarck In
Kissingen on July IL. 1874 He was q
cooper's apprentice. twenty-one years old.
at the time.
Bismarck rode out Mt 3 o'clock on the
afternoon of the attack in the royal Ba-
varian court carriage. AS the carriage
emerged from the yard before bis villa and
the curious crowd in the street be-
gan to cheer. Bismarck raised his
hand to salute. Before it touched his cap
shot was heard, Bismarcks hand fell back,
and the crowd saw that he was wounded.
Bismarck's coachman cut kullmann, still
holding the smoking revolver, over the face
with his whip. Kullmann tied. but was
caught by Herr Lederer, an operatic tenor
from Darmstadt. and Herr Schlesinger, a
Berlin tradesman. Kullmann was then q
big. strapping, unbOwed six-foOter. and he
gave his captOrs hard struggle. bnt they
held fast, Herr Lederer not giving In even
when kullmann bit deep into his hand.
Kullmann was rescued by policemen from
the crowd, which threatened to kill him on
the spot, and was led off to jail. bismarck
had his arm dressed at o nearby surgeons
office. and then appeared at the open win
dow IN his shirt sleeves. shouting to the
anxious ones outside:
1T doesn't amount to anything. See for
yourselves" holding the wounded arm
above his head.
Later, Bismarck talked with Kullmann.
who expressed regret that he had not killed
the Chancellor. Bismarck drew from kull-
mann that he was o Catholic, and then had
him describedin the complaint as "a blgot, q
regular attendant at church, and religious
fanatic" The Kulturkampf had just
reached q critical point. and Bismasck
made the most of the attack on him in his
onslaught on Windthorst and the other
Roman Catholics in the Reichstag. 'Shake
off that man as you WILL" shouted the
Chancellor, his hand graspIng his sword
hilt. as was his wont when excited, The
still clings to your coat tails"
The Roman Catholics did shake Kullmann
from their coat-tails, however. 1t was
found that his mother was in an insane
asylum, that other relatives were regarded
as more or less irresponsible. and that
kullmann himself was at least extrava-
gantly eccentric.
Kullmann was sentenced to fourteen
years hard labor. His term expired ia 1883,
but meantime he had been 80 violent
toward the guards and SO reckless Of oil
prison discipline that an additional term of
five or six years was included in his punish
ment. The cause of his death Is not known.
1t has been said generally that abuse from
prison officials in Amherg fastened it, but
the facts probably will never be known
positively, as the German newspapers
would not dare to publish them, to say
nothing OF ascertaining them.
