Too Jealous Member Of the Sect Of Car
terites Il Taken In Hand.
Kalamazoo, Mich, special: The people
living at Watervleit and Coloma are each
day becoming more disgusted with the ac-
tons OF the crazy Cartertcs, the relia ious
sect which infests the locality and seems to
be gaining converts faster than the other
religious denominations, a. they have at
fractions which are more enticing TO the
class OF people that inhabit that locality
than the efforts OF orthodox preachers who
endeayor to save souls rather than cast out
devils. The devil aunihiiation business
seems to have \ peculiar charm for the
people.
William Burbank Il recent convert to
the Carterits sect, and II Is claimed that he
proceeded " put the methods OF the sect
Into active operation iu his own family,
especially on his children because OF some
alleged misdsed. and not only beat them.
but paid so much attention TO religion thut
he failed to provide them with food or
clothing, The auti- Carterites objected and
took the method In vogue In the locality
OF making him behave himself. crowd
of thirty from Wstervleit called on him
and took him out In the chilly night and
rode him quite distance on y rail, and
then stripped on his clothing and gave him
. coat OF tar and feathers that he will wear
until IL IL so hot that he will need no CLOTH
Ing.
He pleaded for mercy and agreed to
change his actions In the future. or he
would undoubtedly have recaived much
harsher treatment. The crowd threatened
u use the same methods on other nembers
II any Of their antics are continued. The
authorities have refused to take sides In
the trouble, and the coed work OF correct
ing their insane notions Will be allowed TO
continue without n,0lestation.

TRACES or A nLoopY CRIME.


Venice. llltnOis, Police Mystificd BY . Re
cent Discovery There,
St Louis, NO.. special: The police have
found evidences Mt Venice, ILL.,, Of what
they believe to 4Rye oeen most brutal
murder. The discoveries began with the
Hiding OF u huge bludgeon lying on tho
door sill Of 4 shanty boat about 300 yards
from the Venice elevator aud about 2s0
yards from the rivers edge The blood
had the appearance Of being recently
drawn. a small bunch Of gray and auburn
hair. the gray predonlinating. and what
presented the appearance OF portion Of u
human brain adhered to the club. about u
foot from Its end. The floor OF the shanty
boat WAS covered with blood and largo
quantity was found near the door. The
walls OF the boat In some places to tho
height OF six feet were spotted with blood,
and, In fact. the room OF the boat bore
evidence OF y horrible struggle and
brutal crime.
Failing to dnd dead body. searchers
hnatly came across foot prints leading to
the waters edge bearing evidence of hav-
ing been made by como one carrying y
heavy burden. A bloody handkerchief
found In another shanty looked ns though
u had been used As . murderer's towel Tho
scene OF the supposed crime Is e aU6ugh
locality frequented by low gamblers. and
the theory IL that some one has been MUIR
dered for his money and thrown into the
river. This Is strengthened by the fact that
Captain McCluskey OF the hnrbor boat near
the scene OF the murder saw Ia the river
the body OF y white man which noated
away before II could be caught. A theory
which Is generally adopted In connection
with the blood Stains and other evidence
of murder Is that the same two men who
garroted tho Grand Army Of the Republic
veteran. Gill. In this city. are the per-
petrators OF the mysterious deed ut Venice.

RELIEVES IN ANNEXATION.
President Cleveland Favor Policy Of
Acquisition.

y
Acquisition.
Washington special: President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham are Ia favor or the
annexation OF Hawaii. Annexation of the
Pacific Islands Is TO be a part OF the policy
OF tho present administration. This an
nouncemeut Is unofficial, but may he nc.
cepted Without question. 1t Is correct.
President Cleveland and Secretary Gres-
ham did not hastily reach the conclusion
that it was their duty TO favor annexation
OF Hawaii. They considered the matter
fully and carefully looked into all coliat-
eral questions as to the past policy OF the
government, the attitude of other powers
and the future government Vt the Islands.
Their conclusion was that annexation Is
the only way out Of the present dilemma.
But they are not in favor OF annexation In
haste, as Harrison was, nor do they favor
treating with provisional government
that may not be able TO uphold itself.
President Cleveland Is thoroughly con-
vinced that the present temper OF the
American people Is Ia the direction OF
broader national policy and the acquisi-
tion Of more territory, and he thinks the
people would punisn any party which
should reject Hawaiis pioffer to BECOME q
part OF our territory. The reasons whica
ind uced Commissioner Blount TO order the
American flag to 10 hauled down are very
simple. While his Instructions gave him u
certain latitude OF discretion, 1t was the
presidents expressed wish that the Ameri-
can protectorhte over the islands should he
ended AS soon us possible. IL such thing
could be done without leading to disorder
or inviting other nations to assume tue role
which Minister Stevens has been playing
ever since the queen was dethroned.
Mean while the Boston aud other Ameri-
can vessels will remain Ia those waters, aud
will be ready ut moment 8 notice to protect
the lives and property Of Americans and
ut the sume time to forcibly impress upon
ether nations TINT they must keep their
hands of the jewel Of the Pacific. Commis-
sioner Biount's report will be brought by
the revenue cutter Rush, which will touch
at San Diego before reaching San Francisco,
which may delay the report from Washing
ton for Il day or two. The latest advices
received ut the state department would In
dicate that the sentiment In favor OF an
nexation to the United States Is constantly
growing.
A telegram from MIR. Blount WAS received
at the state department confirming the
new telegraphed from San Francisco re-
garding his action In Hono' 'uiu: The tele.
gram was brief. merely recitinS the fact
that the marines had been reliev from
duty on shore and had returned to their
quarters on the Boston.

Before finally discharging the jury, Judge
Burke addressed them as follows: "lf this
thing OF juries refusing to do their duty is
continued the people may as well pull
down this court room and court house and
cease to indict men for the crime Of murder,
as it does no good while the laws are

They numbered but thirty-eight fighting
men, and this little band, fortified within
the walls OF their village, slaughtered fully
1000 Mexican soldiers before the last one OF
themselves succumbed to the rife and the
bayonet. The Mexican Government felt
ch agrined over the horrible. inhuman
butchery and forbade the newspapers OF
