HIPPOLYTE IsN,T AFRAID.
Says He Knows There j. to he "A Rebellion
and Hes Ready for It.


WASHINGTON. Oct 17.-From an official
newspaper Just received here from Hayti
1t would appear that the president of
that disturbed country, Gen. Hippolyte
Is preparing himself TO meet another re-
Dellion and is ready to deal in the most
summary manner with the prime movers
Here is what the paper, the MOniteur Of
August last has to say:
Last Sunday his excellency. the pre3-
ldent Of the republic IN the presence Of
some government officials and other citi-
zens, expressed him self ds follows"
Here follows the full text of the speech,
Of which the following extracts afford
an Illustration:
Before / was elected chief of this
state had taken part in the administra-
tIon of affairs Of my country. Every body
had recognized in me an honest man. To-
day some Of these parties who aided my
promotion appear to tax me with being
thief. It is assuredly u glaring conse-
quence on their part. because they knew
me to be thief, and having selected me
as chief Of the nation. they are thieves
themselves. The public tranquility must
be maintained at any cost, and to effect
It there IS no sacrifice I would not make.
Il have by my side at this present time
young devoted men, WhO should the Op-
portunity present itself, only need
TO hear from me to extermjnate all those
who would have the folly to attack my
that is done, hence they fixed the 18th to
attack my arms. l shall for my part, be
likewise ready as well as other dates.
And so much the worse should the at
tempt fail
"The example to which l shall treat
them will be terrific, because
viii not remain that day at the palace
it would be impossible. for it would be
contrary to temperament They may
perhaps attempt my life.
4 shall not allow them to do me as
they did President Carnot, because the
aides-de camp that are near me know
what will be the penalty should they
through neglect allow individuals to ap-
proach me without giving them orders
to that effect They may even, if they
prefer shoot at me with gun. I
nounce It now they have only to try"

HORRIBLY TREATED.
A Man MutiIated by Lynchers and Then
Hanged.

Hanged.
GOLDEN, Col.. June 3.-Alexander
McCurdy, who horribly mutilated his
step-brother. Charles Berry. last winter.
was this morning taken from Jail and
lynched, after being subjected to the
same treatment he gave his victim. Nc
Curdy was this week convicted OF may
hem and yesterday sentenced to the
penitentiary for three years, the full ex-
tent OF the law. At 2 O'Clock twenty
men aroused Alexander Kerr, the jailor,
choked him, and taking the keys, went
to McCurdy's cell. He was dragged to
the lawn in front OF the building and
mrtilated in the same way he had cut
Berry.
He probably died while this was be-
ing done, but the body was rushed
down to Lakewood trestle, over Clear
Lake, and hanged. The sheriff has ar
rested John Richweine and John Koch,
guards for the lynchers. They have
given the names of all the others, and
the coroner's jury is preparing warrants
for them. McCurdy assaulted Berry
while he slept, picked the organs he
cut off and sent them to his wife in In
diana. He escaped, but was arrested
several weeks sfterward in Indiana.
Berry recovered. During the trial of
McCurdy this week, he was restraind
with difficulty from assaulting him.
Berry is eighteen years old and Nc
Curdy about thirty.

Judge Ktnkaid.
LEXINGTON, KY, June 2.-Colonel
Breckenridge had an audience OF about
500 persons. of whom 20 were ladies, at
Midway today. He spoke for an hour
and ~ minutes, and scored his oppon-
ents. William Owens, he aaid, was
never in the race, and il he (Breckin-
ridge) was dead or removed from the
district, it would be just the same to
Owens, since he WAS never at any time
between Owens and Congress.
He poked considerable fun at Judge
George Kinksid, +, " ho made such a strong
speech against him at Versailles yester.
day, but when referring to al address Of
Rev. Deering, his old war comrade, he
admitted that the latter's words hurt
him more than anything that had been
said against him. II their places could
be changed, the colonel declared he
would not speak OF Deering as the latter
had spoken of him. He said that the
suffering his old comrades words had
caused him could not be paid for by a
lifetime in congress. He also excoriated
Professor McGsrvey, the preacher who
has been so bitter against him. After
Breckenridge had finished, Evan Settle,
his other opponent, took the stand.
Nearly 30 ladies marched into the hall.
Then Colonel Breckenridge and nearly all
his followers left the house, and Settle
finished his speech to the ladies and
Owens men,

the village of winthrop.
ST. JOSEPH. (Mo.) June 2.-As direct
result Of the high water in the Missouri
river. which will not begin to recede for
some time. the once prosperous village
of Winthrop, 40 miles south of St. Joe
on the Rock Island. Hannibal and st.
Joe, Missouri Pacific and Kansas City,
st. Joe and Council Bluffs railroads, will
soon be wiped of the face OF the earth.
The Missouri river. when it first began
its spring rise this year started to cut
the bank at the edge of the town and
adjacent to it, and today half of the
place melted into the river, together
with half dozen farms of 100 acres
each. The channel of the river was
half mile west of Winthrop last year,
but today that channel is q sandbar and
the river now occupies what was once
the main streets of the village. The
water is now within few rods of the
tracks Of the four companies which are
parallel with each other at that point
and it is rapidly eating its way into the
right OF way. All four companies are
preparing to abandon their road-bed
and enter Atchison from point further
north. In such an event the 800. 600
railroad bridge connecting Winthrop
and Atchison will be abandoned.

inhabitants. has already lost half of it's
population, and as the houses cannot be
