Interest in Breckenridge Causes a Fight
in Little Rock

Interest in Breckenridge Causes a Fight
in Little Rock.
LITTLE Rock, Sept. 14,-The Ken
lucky colony in Little Rock have taken
a deep interest in the congressional
contest in the Ashland district and
tonight, the eve of the election, little
else is being discussed by scions Of the
Blue Grass state now residents in the
capital of Arkansas. So far as heard
from, Little Rock comes to the front
with the first serious fight of the cam
paign. About o'clock this evening
Mr.. Joseph Powell, a prominent real
estate dealer of this city, but a native
of Kentucky and an ardent admirer of
Colonel Breckenridge, and another
gentleman, whose identity is some-
what of mystery, but who is without
doubt an Arkansan, were discussing
Ashland district politics on the corner
of Main and Fifth streets. The dis
cussion grew warm when Powell re-.
marked that Colonel Breckenridge was
"as good as any damned man in Ar
kansas" He had no more than ut
tered the sentence when his companion
dealt him a savage blow just above the
eye, infiicting ali ugly wound. The
combatants then clinched, evidently
intending to fight it out in approved
Kentucky style, when bystanders in.
terfered and the men were separated.

Breckenridge and Owens Speak at Lex
ington and the Campaign Ends.
| LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 14.-Bott
owens and Breckenridge closed here
tonight, Breckenridge speaking at the
courthouse and Owens at the opera
house. The Breckenridge forces made
a big parade and demonstration, hav.
ing several bands and drum corps
Breckinridge's speech was simply al
arraignment of Mr.. Owens, repeating
his charges and criticising Owens
denial. The operahouse was full, the
principal speech being made by Geo
Z. Lockhart of Paris. Ovens denied
Mr.. Breckinridge's charges that he is
broken down gambler and that he
was put out of q Louisville
hotel. A conference was held by
Ovens friends and an additional
statement to that effect as last night
was given out. The statement is an
emphatic denial of all Brock enridge's
charges. He says over his signature:
ut Is significant that Breckenridge
could only obtain the affidavit of Mr..
j. A. Elliott to suDstantiRte even the
semblance of his charges, and invite
any intelligent person to investigate
the character of the affidavit of Mr..
Elliott. 1t bears all the earmarks of
what the lawyers term COOLED"
affidavit and upon it's face is not
worthy OF the respect of anyone. lei
lott, under the pressure evidently
placed upon him, could not say that
he knew me personally, and if he
knew me at all his knowledge is such
as shows him to be certainly an unre.
liable witness. / dismissed this
charge months ago with the contempt
that both it aud Breckenridge merit.
Equally false and contemplate are
the charges that / have been in the
habit OF gaming with intoxicated
young men; that l engaged in
games with such young men
in order to take advantage. of
them, that my board bill and ex-
pense were ever paid by another. l
have no recollection of having any
conversation with r. T.. Edmonson,
aud | am free to say that his affidavit
bears all tie evidence OF being the
product OF such pressure as that of
Elliott. / dismiss these charges with
the full assurance that they will not
deceive any friend of mine, and | must
submit to the generous natures of my
honorable enemies In this contest that
the attack upon me at this time with.
out an opportunity of full investi-
CATION and production Of evidence is
like an assault in the night. Again
appeal to my countrymen to condemn
the prompters OF these ISLANDERS at tn
polls on Saturday"

MURDEROUS KIDNAPPERS
SHOOT, STAB AND ATTEMPT TO
DROWN THEIR VICTIM.
He Is Saved by Two Texans Who Were
Fishing Near Sabine Pass and Saw
the Man Thrown From
Small Schooner.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. ia very res
markable story of kidnapping and at
tempted murder came to light in thi:
city for the first time today. Yester-
day three gentlemen arrived from Sa'
bine, Pass, Tex, two of whom were
Messrs. @. and H. House, the other be-
ing Paul johnson. Mr.. Johnson was
very weak and was under the care OF
physicians while here. He left this
afternoon for Evansville, lud, his
home. Messrs. House tell the follow
ing story of Mr.. johnson:
Messrs. House are country people
living on the coast near Sabine Pass.
About the middle of July they were
fishing when a small schooner ceme
near the shore 1d while they watched,
a man was seen to jump overheard.
Instantly several men on board the
schooner began shooting at the man.
Not only was he shot as he swan
ashore, but large harpoon used for
gigging fish was thrown ut him and
crushed into his chest. The man sunk
and the schooner hastily sailed away,
evidently giving the man up for
drowned.
The House boys. however, saw the
figure rise from the water, and going
to his rescue succeeded in bringing
him ashore. The man was Paul John
son. For three or four weeks the House
boys say he lay as if dead, unable to
tell his story. Finally, however, he
recovered his speech and told his ress
cuers of his history. He said that early
in February he was kidnapped in
Louisville, placed in the hold OF a flat
bottomed boat, taken to New Orleans,
where be was placed on schooner,
then the vessel finally visited the
Texas coast aud he was rescued as
stated above.

defend the subjects Of bis country.

| QelenQ the SUBJECTS OF MS country.
When Minister Baker read the dis
courteous reply to his protest he
cabled to Washington and also told Of
the exile of the prisoners. In reply tC
his cable, it is stated, that the home
government at Washington instructed
him to demand that the two AmeriA
cans be sent back or allowed to &c
back to Bluefelds, that they should
| be given a fair trial upon spec
tic charges. President Zslaya was at
once informed of the demand of the
United States and it is said he agreed
to a trial. After reaching Puuta
Renas the Americans will travel to
Sau Boz and thence to Port Limon.
Here they will be met by the Colum-
bia or Marblehead and brought back
to Bluefields.
The Columbia is now coaling at Corn
Island and will also return within a
few days. 1t was believed in Managua
that the Columbia was still in Port
Limon, and for that reason an imports
ant dispatch was sent to that place
supposed to contain copy of the
instructions sent to Minister Baker in
regard to the return of the Americans
to Blueields and also instructions to
Captain Sumner to see that fair trial
is given if he is compelled to land the
marines to bring about an honest ver-
dict.
The position of the English is not
altogether clear as yet, but it is safe
to say they will take determined
stand for the insult offered Consul
Hatch. Minister Goslin is at present
in Guatemala, and upon hearing of
the arrests telegraphed protest to
President Zelaya. In return he re.
ceived an answer much on the order
of the one Minister Baker received.
Tomorrow morning the voting for
the members of municipal council and
chief magistrate will be held and the
successful candidates will at once &c te
possession of the government. Who
the candidates for office are is not
known. In fact from all appearances
the election will mean nothing
more than the appointment by
Madriz. AS soon as the newly
elected officers have been formally in
stalled and the affairs of Bluetields is
in a measure settled. Minister Madriz
will return to the interior, leaving
here about the 10th of the month.
His services are much needed in Ma
nagua. Nicaragua is thoroughly
aroused and war is daily expected.

BLUEFIELDS AFFAIRS.
Statement of President Zelaya's Conduct
Toward Foreign Prisoners

Statement of President Zelaya's Conduct
Toward Foreign Prisoners
New ORLEANS, Sept. l3,-Ihe
manner in which IA foreigners taken
prisoners at Bluetields were treated
at Managua is peculiar. They were
received at once by President Ielaya,
who treated them quite cordially.
After a brief conference the prisoners
were sent to a hotel and the next
morning they were ordered to pack
up and prepare for a journey. They
were sent to Corinto, on the
Pacific coast, where they re-
NAMED until Aug. 20. In
the afternoon OF that day
southbond Pacific steamer carried
them to Puenta Renas, Costa Rica.
They did rot know even when leav-
ing the hotel what act ion had been
decided upon, but they concluded
that they were exiled. The four re-
naming prisoners it has been decided
to place in different cities and contlne
them as state prisoners. Americans
Samuel Lapton of New Orleans and
Capt. G w Wiltbanks ofPhiladelphla
were among those exiled. Others OF
the party were: w II Brown,
a Canadian; L l Thomas, George
Hudson, w i bert, the Mosquito
general; MARYLAND Taylor, publisher
OF the Bluefields Messenger; Wash.
ington Glover, John o Hatch, the
British vice consul. The four remain
ing prisoners will be sent to the four
principal cities of Nicaragua, where
they will suffer perhaps for months.
Il G Ingram, of the firm of Wilson d
Ingram, planters and merchants, will
be confined at Chimandega; Chas Pat
terson, the eX.vice president OF the
MOSQUITO council, will be seut to
Leon; John Taylor is to be con-
fined in Masay and Captain Brown, an
Engl;shmen, will remain at Managua.
Minister Baker was informed of the
arrival of the American prisoners and
called upon them at once. The ex-
act state of affairs was related to him.
During the course of the conversation
he lamented the course adopted py
Captain Sumner in not intercepting
Yulu and releasing the prisoners.
Minister Baker has prepared most
vigorous protest and had it delivered
to President Zslaya. He called atten-
ton to the unconstitutional proceed
ings and demanded in the name OF
the United States a fair and speedy
trial. To this President Ielaya sent
reply, but not until the prisoners
were fairly on their way to
Corinto. The protest OF Min
lister Baker was handed to Presi-
dent Zelaya on the evening OF
the prisoners arrival and from some
reason known to himself only Presi-
dent Zelaya delayed sending the re;
ply until the following afternoon ana
it was irrevelant in every sense OF the
word. In consequence of this protest
of Minister Baker, as has often taken
place before, the Nicaraguan govern
ment cabled to Washington demand
ing the immediate recall of Minister
Baker because he had attempted to
