DAYLIGHT MURDER.

A storeleeper Killed and Robbed by -Four
Negroes.
LAKE CRY, Fla, Nov. T.-One of the
boldest murders ever committed in thai
part of the country is reported from
Lake City Junction, on the Savannah
Florida and Western railroad, tw, OIL
three miles from Fort White and in the
lower portion of this county. William
Duncan, q white man, was killed in hi.
store at the junction, in broad day
light, between and 10 o'clock, in the
morning. The weapon used was q
coupling pin,and with this his brains
were beaten out.
Four negroes were seen by those liv.
ing near to go into his store and after
ward three of them were seen going
away with large bundles; and shortly
after this the crime was discovered by
someone who went to the store. Rob.
berry was evidently the motive. The
store was ransacl1ed and left in confn.
sion. The community was aroused
and posse is in pursuit., with dogs. II
Is thought that one of the negroes has
been captured. If taken, they viii
doubtless all be lynched.
Another negro, who may also be one
of the gang, was arrested here yester-
day evening, as answering the descrip-
ton of one wanted in Orlando, and he
is now in iail.

Refused to Surrender . Passenger Who

La LIBERrAD, Nov. 7.-Honduraa
fred npon the American flag Monday
morning BY the alleged orders Of
President yasquez and by the express
command of the commissioners of the
port of Amapala seven cannon shots
were fired after the Pacific Mail steam
ship Costa Rica, flying the stars and
stripes. as she steamed away because
she refused to surrender enc of her pas
sengers to the Honduras government.
United States Minister Baker was on
the Costa Rica at-the time.
The passenger about whom the trou-
BILE arose is Policarpo Bonilla, who re-
Gently led the revolution in Honduras,
but was defeated by General Vasquez.
He tlien fled to Nicaragua, and with
300 of his adherents joined the army of
President Sacasa, who was engaged in
an attempt to quell rebellion. Bonil-
La had decided to leave Nicaragua in
order to relieve the government of all
responsibility OF harboring him. He
therefore sailed from Corinto for Guat-
ema1a on Nov. on the Costa Rica.
American Minister Baker and more
than 100 other persons were his fellow
passengers. They arrived Sunday morn
ing at Amapala, port of entry of Hon
duras, on the Pacific coast, and at 2
o'clock in the afternoon Commander of
the Port Cillila demanded that Cap
tain Dow should surrender Bonilla.
When this request was refused a
threat was made to sink the ship. and
it was asserted that President Yasques
had given strict orders TO that effect.
An official protest against the refusal
to surrender Bonilla was presented to
the captain at o'clock, and clearance
papers were issued to the ship after
nightfall, when it was too dark to leave
the narbor with safety.
A government officer came on board
at $50 o'clock Monday morning and
stated that new orders had been re-
ceived from the president, insisting on
the delivery of Bonilla or the lombard
ment of the ship. Captain Dow replied
that the commander of the port would
receive his answer in half an hour, but
before that time had expired he steamed
away.
Seven shots were fired after the.
Costa Rica, although she flew the. Amer
her, however, but it is feared the
steamship City of Panama of the same
line, which was lying in the port, may
have been injured, because the firing
continued for some time after the
Costa Rica was out of range. The con-
gress of Honduras has declared war
upon Nicaragua whenever a revolution
or any invasion of reyolutionists from
that Republic occurs.

Caused by Trespassing.
SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 7.-Captain
Jesse Hanford has just arrived in this
to purchase 200 rifles and ammunition
for settlers of Harrison, Ida, the new
town just within the border of C@ur
d'A1ene Indian reservation. Chief
Wellshew notified all the white settlers
to leave the reservation within three
days or pay S20,0 600 cash. Wellshew
has 400 CCeur d'Alenes and so Spokanes
and many kalfbreeds in the field, all
well armed. Harrison has 80 white
men, poorly armed.
Farmers along the st. Joe valleys
have been called in. and the settlers
will refuse to give up the town. The
Harrison townsite is on Indian land.
Last week big council was held to
purchase it. Chief Saltez offered to
donate the townsite to the white set
tiers, but Wellshew and Bartholomew
demanded S100. 600. The offer was re-
fused and the council disbanded. Two
days later Wellshew sent at u1timatum
demanding S20,0 900 for the privilege of
staying there through the winter. He
claims the government troops can not
interfere, as he has the right to eject
trespassers. and the settlers are prepar-
ing to defend themselves.

Responsible Cranks.

The crank who murdered Carter
Harrison will not find it easy to
escape the gallows on the plea OF
insanity.
As the New York Herald puts it,
the popular idea of insanity is no
test in rash cases. 1t says:
The legal test of criminal respon-
sibility is not whether an assassin
is insane in the popular sense of
the word, but whether he knew
the criminal nature of his murder
GUS act. In the case of Prender-
CAST that is question for the jury
which tries him to determine.
This is on the right line. Many
years ago there was an epidemic of
murderous crankism in England
but the courts of that common
sense country promptly applied the
following tests in all murder trials
in which insanity was the defense
1. Did the accused know at the
Time he did the deed what he was
doing? 2. Did he know that 1t
was contrary to the law of the
land2
This was the course pursued in
the Guiteau case, and it should be
followed when Prendergast is
brought to trial.
Mayor HarrisoR's assassin was
sane enough to attend TO business
and earn his own living-sane
enough to hunt down his victim and
kill him. 1t will take a mountain
of evidence to convince an intelli-
gent jury that such a man did not
know the criminal nature of his act
when he shot the mayor down on
his own doorstep.
If it was right to hang Guiteau,
Prendergast should meet the same
fate Constitution.

The Fate of the Order viii Probably Soon

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. THE question
of the Iron Hall receiyership came up
in the Marion superior court yesterday.
Since the creation of the receiyership,
Aug. %, 1892, new complications have
arisen in the forming of the two reor-
ganized bodies of the Iron Hall. each of
which claims to be the legal reorganiza-
ton and both of which are united on
one side of the case in seeking the dis
solution of the existing temporary re-
ownership.
H. F. Libby, elected supreme jnstice
of one of these factions. is here in per-
son looking after the chances of his
branchs while Herbert Mcintosh. SUI
preme Justice of the competing branch,
is represented by F. A. Wind of st.
Louis. The question before the court
and which will be determined upon the
evidence is to the right of the court in
the premises to appoint permanent
receiver. who shall wind up the affairs
of the order. Articles of agreement
between all the attorneys as to the
main facts in the case have been filed.
The trial of the cause will not. it is
thought. reach a final determination
under two weeks.

1UL lLulua
Parkersburg Senfinel @Silver was
the money ofthis country from the
first confederation to 1873, when
under the interpolation of John
Sherman it was demonetized by a
piece of Legislation as Infamous as il
was eowardly and secret. When
the voters were brought face to
face with the fact that silver had
been driven from the realm OF
money q congress was Immediately
chosen that restored silver. to the
money of the country, under the
Bland Allison act, and gave it full
legal tender quality. That act con-
tinued on the statute books from
1880 to 1890 when in the latter
year, TO escape absolute free coinage
the Sherman law was agreed to.
The excuses offered for the pres
ent decentralization of silver are for
one, that England wants it and de-
mands it, and the present congress
is subservient enough to obey the
behest. But of course such pre-
tense is fiction of base degree.
Another reason given is that silver
is running the country, stagnating
business, breeding financial distress
and entailing rnin upon all classes
of trade from the greatest to the
smallest.
"The Bland law which restores
limited coinage of silver and made
the silver dollar a full legal tender
was enacted in 1880, and was not
amended or repealed till 1890. Mr..
Cleveland was elected president in
1884, and served four years. Dur
ing every minute of that term the
silver was being coined at our
minis and it circulated as full legal
tender for all debts. The four
years from 1885 to 1889, of Mr..
Cleveland's presidency are known
to every one to have been years of
almost unexampled prosperity
throughout the land. Business was
prosperous; an era of unprecedent-
ed development was upon us !;
money was reasonably plentiful
and moved freely; gold flowed into
the Golfers of the government at a
surprising rate; the income of the
government was. one hundred mil
lions a year greater than the ex-
penditures; the surplus in the
treasury grew to an alarming ex-
tent; the free gold in the treasury
vault exceeded the requirements of
law by about $3.50, 100000. Such
was the excessively prosperous con-
dition of the country under the
Bland silver law that Mr.. Cleve-
land felt empelled to call upon Con
gress to take such action as would
be necessary, by the reduction of
taxes, to stop the rapid and need
less accumulation in the treasury.
Such was the condition of things
under a silver legal tender law.
Everyone knows it. And in the
campaigns of 1888 and 1892 the
prosperous condition of the country
and its plethoric treasury from 's5
to '89 were the cry and boast of the
Democratic speakers.
"In 1890 the Sherman law and
the Mckinley bill supplanted the
former laws regarding silver and
the tariff, and from the moment of
their enactment the country began
tumbling, and has been going from
bad to worse till the present cal
amitous times have been reached.
