that there is brighter outlook for a
speedy settlement Of the narrow-gange

4 Missouri Pacific Railway
Mail Clerk Becomes an
Evangelist.

One fthe most interesting revivals
that has been held in Upton, Mo-,
for years, has been in progress for
the past two weeks at the Methodist
Episcopal church. The preacher, Mr..
Anthony McClanaham, is a Upton
hoy, and is now in the railway mail
service on the main line of the Mis-
sour Pacific railroad. He has had no
special training for the ministry,
though he has been prominent in
Christian Endeavor and Young Mems
Christian association work in St.
Louis for the past year, and
he is an earnest and forci-
bic speaker. He breaches sane
ti6catiOn and perfect holiness. Sew
eral have prOfessed themselves as
anctified. Mr.. McClanahan has Sc
cured another weeks leave of absence
from the railway mail service and will
continue the meetings. Up to this
time they claim thirty-eight CONVEX
sions. The crowds that gather each
night are far beyond the capacity of
the church, many having to leave,
and the meetings are frequently con-
tinued until II o'clock at night.
Mr.. Mechanism is a brother Of
DIR. McClanahan, at Pilot Grove:
also of DIR. McClanahan, of Boonville.

THE MURDERER CAUGHT.
A Fugitive from johnson
County, No., Found in Har.
rison, Ark.
Sheriff Collins, of Warrensburg,
Receives the News in Sc.
daIia To-Day.

On an afternoon in November,
1891, two farmers named Mike Davis
and j. r. Nicholson, who resided a
few miles from Holden, johnson
county, were on their way home to-
gether. When some distance from
town Davis, who had bottle of
liquor in his pocket, pulled it out and
invited has companion to drink with
him. Nicholson declined and Davis
grew angry. A difficulty ensued and
Davis beat his neighbor to death with
a club.
The murderer fed the country and
was lost trace of until two weeks ago,
when, as was thought, he was located
at Harrison, Boone county, Arkansas.
Sheriff w. H. H. Collins premptly
responded to a telegram to 60 there
at once, the supposed fugitive from
justice being under arrest. Shortly
after the arrival of the johnson county
Official, the prisoner proved, beyond
the shadow Of doubt. an abb, and
he was released.
Sheriff Collins then returned home
and had thought little more Of the
matter since until to-day, while in
Sedalia. he received telegram from
Warrensburg, stating that the sheriff
of Boone county, Arkansas, had ar
rived there with the real Nike Davis
the murderer of Nicholson.
When Davis fled from Missouri he
was single man, but had married
since residing in the South. At the
time he was arrested he was engaged
in horse trading.

Would Not Prosecute.

NJ. o. Green, a farmer living near
Smithton, yesterday swore out war
rant in the Office of Justice A. d Fish
er charging Frank Harper with petit
larceny. 1t seems that Harper had
been in Green's employ about five
years. He borrowed an Overcoat Mon
day and came to Sedalia, where he
was preparing to purchase a ticket to
leave the country. Nh. Green follow
ed him, and Harper was apprehend-
ed by Officer Shackles. When ar
rested he began crying and begged
for clemency. Mr.. Green took pity
on him and refused to prosecute,
paying the costs himself. Harper
was discharged.

The Clinton Democrat of yesterday
gives space to the following howl Of
joy for the Henry county farmers who
defeated a lotof Se,lalia's primary class
at foot hall in this city Saturday:
"A vigorous and able-bedied veil
marched down the streets Of Sedalia
Saturday morning.
The business men of that Gerrate
railroad center were aghast at the un-
usual disturbance Of their quiet and
monotonous existence; eleven Young
men of Sedalia who occasionally play
pins, and enthusiastically foot bali,
gave themselves over to melancholy
musings; while many a busy house
wife attired in Sedalia mourning COS
tune paused with broom in hand and
raised the red handkerchief which Ell
comprised her ears to hear these words
which came pulsating the crisp morn
ing atmosphere;
King tum ri,

From the town Clinton
1.-The yell marched up the streets
and halted in front of the Hotel
Sicher; it was then seen that behind
it were number of handsome young
athletes from Clinton, who aspired to
kick out victory on the foot ball
gridiron.
"And they did it, too.
The casualties were slight. Cap
tain Harper and Young Salmon were
injured during the game and gave
way to substitutes. Later in the
evening Luther Trone met with q se-
riOus accident in front of the Hotel
Sicher. He sprained his yell. Had
this mishap occurred during the game
it would have been irretrievably lost. "

Joe, on the night of September 25,
passed through Sedalia at noon to-
day. In the criminal court 1t st. Joe
yesterday afternoon Gleitze withdrew
his plea Of not guilty and pleaded
guilty. A jury had already been Sc
lected to try the case and two witnesses
had testified. When Gleitze pleaded
guilty Judge Wood.on fixed his pun
ishment at two years in the peniten-
tiary. The court room was packed
with people and the sudden termina-
ton of the case was surprise to
everybody.
Fred Kohler, a paper carrier, Hugo
Engle and Henry Gleitze, with two
detectives, Hearst and Carver planned
to rob passenger train on the X. c.,
st. j. Il {. B. road last September.
One Friday night they went to Rows
branch, the place selected for their
hold up, armed with revolvers and
carrying a quantity Of dynamite with
which to blow open the door Of the
express car. The train passed them
before they were aware that it was
the one they intended to rob, and the
crime was abandoned for the time.
The next attempt was made on Sun
day night, September rs. In the
meantime dummy train. was made
up to represent the burglar passenger
train and went out loaded with Of
ficers and officials of the road. 1t was
stopped by the waving of a red
lantern and the robbers boarded the
car. Kohler, the leader of
the robbers, was shot and killed, and
Engle met his death at the same time.
Gleitze escaped and was arrested the
next day. The end of one Of his
fingers had been shot away and his
clothes had bullet holes in them. He
protested his innocence from the first.

ing one Of her heavy gold rings.
Whether he has ever made her q
promise of marriage is not known,
definitely, but 1t is SO claimed by the

formed him that they expected him to
marry her. He also received word from
the girls father that he must marry
his daughter between now and Christ
mas.
Bartell is in peck of trouble. He
denies having placed himself under

Rippey's DelusiOn,

A new story is told in connection
with the shooting of Mackay by Rip
pey.
1t appears that some years ngo
Rlppey rented box in the Safe De.
post Company in San Francisco but
never put any money in it. He would
call frequently and take out his box
only to find it empty. His face 81
ways assumed disappointed look.
When he saw the empty box he began
charging the officials OF the institu-
tion with having robbed him. He
finally got it into his head that John
Mackay was the man and it is not
improbable that some one who had n
spite against Mackay hearing that
Rippey was laboring under the hal
lucination that no had been robbed
suggested to him that tMachay was
the party and as soon as this idea
got possession Of his mind he brooded
over it until he finally got his pistol
and started out for revenge.
It is now in order to find out who
suggested the idea TO Rippey.-Ap-
peal.

SHARP PRACTICE.

The Legislature passed bill 10 re-
duce the salaries Of deputies in the
several State offices from $1,000 to ST.
600 year. The Act was to take ef-
feet January lst, 1894. The Cover
nor declares, and no one questions the
statement, that the bill did not reach
his office, and it is alleged that it had
not been enrolled. The minutes
which gave q record Of the bill also
disappeared but they had oeen copied
so that the action taken on the bill
is recorded. The Journals of the two
Houses show that it passed, and it is
said the original bill was enrolled, at
tested by the proper officers and
signed by the Governor, after the en-
rolled bill was missed.
That the bill was stolen there is
hardly room for doubt and that the
theft was committed by some one Of
the persons interested can scarcely be
disputed. Under the circumstances
the Governor ought to exercise the
whole power of the executive to as
certain who stole the bill. He should
offer as liberal reward as the sppro-
priation for that purpose will admit
OF for the conviction Of the person or
persons implicated. The State Can
not Afford to let the matter pass un-
noticed. The guilty parties should
be hunted down, if possible, and
punished. Reno journal.

A GREAT NAVAL BATTLE
1T MAY BE FOUGHT 100 MILES
OFF Brazil
as a Part of His Crew-The
NicEherOy VIII Give Battle.

PERNAMBUCo, Dec. 26.-Until Yesterday
morning Pernambuco believed that it's
harbor was TO be the scene of the first
big naval battle between the Republica,
Admiral Mello's best war ship, and the
Aquidabau, her companion rebel ship on
the one side, and the Nictheroy. Presi-
don't Peixoto's dynamite gun cruiser on
the other
The news received here yesterday
changed the whole aspect OF affairs. The
rebel warships it was learned, had sailed
toward the island of Ferdinando de
Noronha, where there is large convict
settlement. The Revolutionary Admirable s
object in going to Ferdinando de Nor
Cnha, which is over 100 miles from the
main coast of Brazil, is to compel the
able bodied convicts to 60 aboard his
vessels and join their crews. 1t is said
that he expects to secure not less than
1000 men in this way.
This view of the case proved to be
correct, for yesterday, when all the men
belonging to the Met heroy's crew had
been gotten aboard the government bat
tie ship steamed out to sea and pointed
her nose for the northeast. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent is reliably
informed that the Nictheroy's destina-
ton is the island of Ferdinando de
Noronha. If this information is cor
rect, the long expected sea-battle be-
tween the revolutionist and government
war vessels will in all probability be
fought within short time.
