Preparations for Extensive Celebration
In New York City.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE Lutherans of
New York and Brooklyn are preparing to
celebrate the anniversary of Martin
Luther's birthday, November 10. The
Central Association of Lutheran Young
Peoples Societies of the two cities will
take charge of the festivities, and for
that purpose have arranged for the use of
Association Hall on Twenty third street
and Fourth avenue.
The principal feature of the celebration
will be the speeches by well-known cler-
Rymen and laymen. Rev. DR.. J. B. Re-
mensnyder of st. James Church, Sew
enty second street and Madison avenue,
will make the historical address on the
life and works of Martin Luther, and

occasions, the rededication services Octo-
Der 81 last of the famous Wittenberg
Church, to the door of which Luther

NOTORIOUS FeUD RECALLED.
Marshal Tom Smith and the JaybIrd
Woodpscker Fight.

Marshal Tom Smith and the JaybIrd-
Woodpecker Fight.
RICHMOND, Tex, Nov. THE killing
of Deputy United States Marshal Tom c.
Smith in the Indian Territory by a negro
ON board train removes one of the last
central figures of notorious Texas feud.
Almost a score of widows and several
score of fatherless children owe their con-
dition 30 Smith, for during his lifetime
he committed many murders-at least, he
killed many men.
His death recalls the notorious Jaybird
and Woodpecker feud of this (Fort Bend)
county.
The Jaybird faction was composed of
the white Democracy of the county,
while the Woodpecker party embraced
white Office holders who had been elected
with the aid of negro voters, and who
controlled the politics Of the county.
1t was the desire to wrest the county
from misrule on the part of some of the
Woodpecker officers that brought about
the conflict. Feeling became SO intense
that personal encounters were numerous
| and every body iu Richmond went armed
Finally, in the summer of 1890 the
| feud eliminated in the battle on the
streets of Richmond in which the leaders
on both sides were killed, several
wounded, and the Woodpeckers driven
from the Tcounty, leaving the Jaybirds
| in full possession.
A number of con flictS occurred between
the factions after this, and then came the
| wholesale arrests of citizens of Richmond
| by the U. S. authorities. When the
| cases came up in Galveston several more
men were killed in the court house.

The Country Unable to Bear the Increased
Taxes 1t Involves.
BERLIN, Nov 7.-During the coming
week several important meetings of party
leaders will be held In Berlin, prelimi-
nary to the opening OF the Reichstag,
The general drift of political develop
ments points to the government securing
a majority for the Army bill, through a
coalition of Conservatives, Centrist and
members of the Reichspartel.
Prince Bismarck's denunciation of the
bill as being utterly needless have failed
to influence even the National Liberals,
whose organs deprecate popular agitation
against the government proposals, and
urge a cautious line of opposition.
A meeting of the National Liberals at
Wurtemberg took the strongest line of
attack against the bill in declaring that
Germany was unable to bear the increased
taxation proposed. 1t was shown that
a vast majority of the incomes of Prus
sian families were under 900 mark.

A LAST WORD.

We are on the eve of great battle.
After all the hustle and furry and ex-
element of the campaign the two great
political armies stand waiting for the
trumpet charge that will sound the call
to arms. The lines have been drawn;
the last words of argument, entreaty,
and persuasion have been uttered, the
ranks are closed. We await the rising
sun that calls us to the fray.
Democrats, do your duty. Stand
shoulder to shoulder as you advance to
meet the enemy. Let nothing distract
you at this closing hour before the
struggle. Spurn republican money if it
is offered you, and fight for the glorious
cause whose standard we bear.
Tariff reform!
Economy in expenditures
Justice in the distribution of govern
mental burdens
Equal rights and exact justice to all!
The right of the people to rule in Con-
necticut!
Let us stand firm, fast and true-true
to our God, true to ourselves, true to
our principles, true to our leaders, true
to the grand and glorious party to which
we belong.
Stand together in the fray and the
victory is ours.

FEDERAL OFFICERS AT THE POLLS.


correspondenoe Between the u. s. Mar
shall and Tamn any's Legal Advisers.
NEW YORK, Nov. limited States
Marshal Jacobus has issued a reply to
David Leventrett, David Mcclure, John
w. Bowers and Charles H. Knox, the
committe appointed by Commissioner
Gilroy to Offset the action of deputy SUI
pervisors and marshals. He says:
81 and my deputies are directed by the
laws of the United States to prevent
fraudulent voting at the polls on cleo
ton day"
In support of this he quotes section
2,022 of the United States Revised Code
and proceeds to say that he knows Of no
way of preventing a man from fraudu-
lently voting except by arresting him
when he attempts to do so.
Being directed by the law to immedi-
ately arrest the offender before he votes,
and further that such arrest is to be made
with or without process if the offence of
attempting to fraudulently vote is done
in the presence of him or any Of his
deputies.
Having stated his duty he adds the
committee will doubtless understand
what his action will be.
In reply the Tammany Hall Advisory
Committee have addressed the following
letter:
John w. Jacobus, Esq, United States
Marshal:
Dear Sir-In your letter of November
8 you quote but a portion of section 2, 022
of the United States revised statutes and
that in such a manner to convey a
wrong impression as to its meaning.
The section in its entirety was before
Judge Beaver in the case brought to your
attention in our former communication,
and after careful consideration and con-
struction of the section, he distinctly de-
clared that no marshal could arrest a man
until after he had cast his vote, If accept
ed by the judges of election.
You, therefore, override the express
decision of United States judge upon
the supreme bench and assert for your
self arbitrary power on your mere
suspicion to disfranchise voters.
We naturally prefer to rely upon the
| decision of the Court Yours, etc.,
THE COMMITTEE.
