White Cap Outrage.

JACKSON, Mss, May 5.-The worst
White Cap outrage in the history of
this country was perpetrated at Brook
haven, this State, yesterday. Court
convened there Monday and the first
business transacted was to indict and
Jail 10 White Caps for shooting a negro
and burning his cabin some weeks
since. Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
mob of 100 men rode into the town
and surrounded the courthouse and Jail.
They were all from the country, armed
with shotguns and muskets, and sWore
they would release every prisoner. For
an hour they held the fort, threatening
the life of Judge Chrisman and all Off
GERS who dared show their heads, so
that it was some time before the citi-
zens Of the town, which is several blocks
from the courthouse, knew of the dis
turbance. They finally went to the res
cue, and the Judge, seeing assistance
coming, secured pistol and led the
charge against the bulldozers, who beat
hasty retreat to the suburbs.
By this time the town was in an up
roar. Every gun was mustered into
service, but they were inadequate to
capture the bold outlaws, who awaited
the attack in the bushes. Sheriff Nc
Nair telegraphed Governor Stone for
guns, and in company with Adjutant
General Henry he went to the scene in
person, carrying with him 40 Winches-
ters and 1900 cartridges. Since his az
rival there nothing has been heard.
Frank Peyton, court stenographer,
came up from the seat of war at p. m.
He declares pandemonium reigns SUI
preme in the town and when the bold
gang took possession of the courthouse
the scene was indescribable. A n impor-
tant case was being tried, but when the
gunners appeared the Judge, lawyers,
witnesses, and others were panic strick-
en-. Judge Chrisman was the only man
who kept his head, and it was only

the attacking party was finally repulsed
without any bloodshed and without the
loss of single prisoner But for the
timely arrival of military company
from Wesson and the citizens of Brook
haven, Mr.. Peyton thinks that Judge
Chrisman and others would have been
murdered in the courtroom. Excite
ment was at fever heat, and all places
of business closed. Court adjourned
till morning and the people are denor-
allied.

FEES CUT DOWN.

Sun Bernardino Supervisors Institute 8
Much-needed Reform.
SAN BERNARDINo, Oct. 9.-The board
of supervisors has notified the justices
of the peace throughout the county that
it will not allow them fees in excess OF
$2per day and will pay no fees of JUS
tices or constables in cases of prosecu-
tion of vagrants, unless the complaint is
sworn to by some reputable citizen OF
the township. other than the officers
thereof. The board of supervisors will
also hereaftar require justices and con-
stables to itemize their bills, stating the
names of the case and the crime, and
whether OF not a jury was in attendance.
CLAIMS for serving as witnesses muet give
name of witness and where summoned,
and in claims for mileage, the places
between which travel was necessary
must be shown, and where meals are
furnished the name of parties fur
nishing the same must be given. These
requirements have been found neces-
sary because OF the large monthly bills
presented by justices and constables
throughout the county, which range
from 800 to $500 each, and aggregate
thousands of dollars, and have become
an enormous expense to the county.

rha MOON as we Sec n.

Did you ever stop to consider the fact
that the inhabitants of this earth have
never seen but one side Of the moon, and
to inquire the reasons why such is the
case? The explanation is this: The moon
makes one revolution on her axis in the
same period of time that she takes up in
revolving once around the earth, thus
the same geographical region Of the elunar
surface is always toward us. AS one ex-
PLANTATION usually calls for another, it
may not be out of place to mention the
fact that the reasons the two motions Of
the moon above referred to so nearly
coincide are these:
The moon is not true globe, but is
very elliptical in form. 1t did not in all
probabilities originally start on its axial
rotation with precisely the same velocity
with which it moved around the earth,
but the very best astronomers say that
the two motions were not far apart in
the start. Assuming that the moon was
semi-hquid or at least soft in those re-
mote days, the earth's attraction caused
the lunar surface to elongate, and in the
untold ages which followed its axial ro-
tation, owing to the attractive influence
of both the earth and the sun, was made
to correspond with its orbital movement
around the earth. st. Louis Republic.

LONDON, Oct. 9.--The Chronicles cor
respondent at Faris says the unexpected
resignation of General Mathelin, COM
mauder of the Fiftssnth army corps,
who, in the ordinary c,urse, would have
taken command of the French campaign
against Italy, has caused painful sem
sation in government and army circles.
This feeling, the correspondent says,
has been increased by telegram from
Marseilles to the Journal, which tele-
gram the authorities caused to be sup
pressed, stating in higher military circles
no surprise would be felt If the italian
troops should pass the frontier tomor-
row. The telegram also said, General
Mathelin, owing to the condition of his
health, did not feel equal to the task
with which ne would be confronted il
the Alpine outpost was doubled. 1t
says further that the attitude OF the Off
GERS and men OF the army towards Italy
has become so aggressive that even Ger
many is counselling calmness and pru-
dence. The correspondent adds that
probably the reports OF anti-Italian feel
ing are somewhat exaggerated, but be
says it is difficult to imagine greater an
pleasantry, short of positive hoetilities,
than now exists between France and
Italy. General Vaulgrenant will succeed
General Mathelin.

stops Taken to Have Ite Affairs Settled

SANTA ANA, Oct. "a step was taken
today that is likely to throw into the
courts the liquidation of the affairs OF
the Anaheim bank. Since the bank
closed for the second time, liquidation
has been conducted by Plez Jares,
former president, with the consent of
the depositors. Today r. S. Scale, a
depositor, brought an attachment suit
for $1,000. This will probably throw the
whole thing into the courts. unless
Scale, drops his suit. The result of
throwing the liquidation into the courts
will be to invalidste much that has
been done in the way of settlement.
Since September 9th the deposits are
$4,000. An investigation OF the as
sets by committee of depositors es-
Inmates the assets at $l0l 900, but a
shrinkage in this is already shown.
The failure is largely due to large in
vestmentE in Mexico and land in Ne

SAN Francisco, Oct. "a shocking
ecandal has been caused here by the
coroner's investigation OF the San Fran
cisco founding asylum, where 80 babes
died within the past six weeks. The
place was closed Thursday last, and "a
foundlings given into the custody OF the
Catholic infant shelter. The coroner
ascertained that 33 waits died OF lack OF
nutrition, inattention and the scourge
pemphigus. The Daughters of the Good
Shepherd publicly branded the asylum
slaughter house for babies" The
sanitary condition Of the asylum is very
bad. 1t is charged that the nurses and
attendants occupied sunny rooms up
stairs and kept the babes in damp, dark
apartments. Before the coroner today
it wss developed that dead babies had
been kept on the premises four days.
The official undertaken of the instltu-
tion testified that when infants died the
attendants put the bodies in q box Vn-
der the front door steps and kept there
like so much garbage until he came to
take them away. He had found three
bodies cast unfortunately into the
box at one time. He removed them
without notifying the people at the asy--
lum. The inquest win BIZ resumed

Rio DE JANEIRo, Oct. 9.-The ineur-

firing on the other side opposite the city.
1t is believed the insurgents will attempt
to capture the Estralla powder maga-
zine, but the government will blow the
magazine up if it seems in danger of
capture. There is no truth in the report
that the foreign war ships are landing

harding the city.

Four More Victims Added to the Long
YUMA, Ariz., Oct. 9.-Word has been
received here that an Indian herding
cattle 100 miles above Yuma had found
the body of an American few miles
west of Threnberg. From the descrip-
tion given it is believed to be that of
Conrad Davids, who left here on pros
pecting trip about four months ago
with ). w. Baker. They were from
Clifton, Ariz. They camped about 20
miles west of the Colorado river, and
while prospecting became separated.
Baker followed Davids' tracks for three
days, but was unsuccessful in bis search.
His remains were found about Is miles
from where Baker gave up the search
when the traces disappeared. Davids'
watch and $33 in money were found in
his pockets. The remains were buried
where they we're found.
A few days ago Loreto Villa. in charge
of the cattle herds of the Allison Bros,
along the Cocopah mountains, left Black
Butte for Campo, Cal. Wednesday
last, his mule returned to camp without
him. A search was instituted. which
resulted in finding tracks which showed
that he had got off his mule
to water him at spring,
when the mule, which was bad
one, got away and ran home, distance
of 40 miles. Villa tried to follow, and
when he had gone about half way, wan
dered off into the sand hills, where he
threw away his shoes and where his
tracks were obliterated by the winds.
The tracks OF two other men were also
found on the same sand hills. They are
supposed to be those OF two prospectors
named Ross and Williams. These add
three more names to the deserts dead,
and these perished in sight OF the spot
where the Breedloves we're found dead

Our Other Self.

Each of us has two selves, the higher
and the lower. When God seems out of
reach, as is often the case, and our pray
ers return to us heavier and sadder than
when they left our lips, it is good
plan to commune with that alter ego
which is a shade nearer the divine, that
part which longs to help and to over
come, but is held down by the infirmi-
lies Of the lower nature. Ask it for
strength and instruction, and by so do
ing help the whole man. God is so often
beautifully found in such ways. way A,aeri-

Lulled by thy silvery converse, just begun

Sweet patience and her guest reality,
The sense of days and weeks and months that

Scarce altering in their round of happiness,
And quiet thoughts, and tolls that do not kill,
And homely pastimes. Though the old distress
Loom gray above us both at times. ah. still
