A DEADLY ENCOUNTER.
A Newspaper Article Causes the Death
of Three Men.

Kosciusko, Miss, March 3.-This place
was thrown into great excitement to-
day by a deadly encounter between ".
p. Radcliffe, editor Of the Alliance Vim
dicator, and s. A. Jackson, the newly
elected state representative from this
county, in which the latter was killed.
Sam Russell, bystander, received a
stray shot in the mouth, killing him in
stantly. and Will Sanders, another OUT
slider was shot through the thigh and
will die. Jackson and Ratcliffe met in
front of the sheriff's office and a light
ensued, in which Ratcliffe got Jackson
down on the floor. A crowd pulled Rat
cliffe away, and as Jackson arose, two
shots rang out, one, it is thought, from
Jackson, and one from Radcliffe, with
out effect. Before the men had time to
fire again Sheriff Love caught Ratcliffe.
The affair grew out Of reply by Jack
son in the Kosciusko Star, denouncing
Ratcliffe for publishing in his paper
that he (Jackson) voted in a caucus at
a late meeting of the legislature for a
populist for United States senator.

He Will Spend the Summer on the
European Continent.

London, March 3.-The following semi
official statement has been issued:
Gladstone has rendered his resigna-
ton, but it has not yet been formelly
accepted. Probably the queen will
write Monday signifying her acceptance
of the reaienation. Gladstone was the
guest Of the queen at Windsor Castle
last night. He left Windsor at this
afternoon, in company with other cabi-
net ministers. The route to the station
was thronged with people, who cheered
Gladstone heartily. 1t is stated he will
spend the spring on the continent After
the departure of the ministers the queen
sent for Lord Roseberry, Gladstone's s
probable successor Roseberry left for
Windsor at p. m. Gladstone received
many kilograms from Ireland, embody-
ing resolutions asking him not to re-
sign. Roseberry was in constant con-
sultation with members Of the cabinet
during the forenoon. 1t is thought Earl
Kimberly, secretary of state for India,
will succeed Roseberry in the foreign
office, and that John Morley, chief Sec
retary for Ireland, will become secre-
tary.

RosEBERRY SUMMONED.
His Selection Not Popular Among the
New Radicals.

London, March 3-It is officially an
nounced this evening that the queen
had accepted the resignation of Glad
stone, and that her majesty had SUM
moned Lord Roseberry and offered him
the post Of prime minister. 1t is also
announced that Lord Roseberry had
accepted the position. 1t is freely as
serted tonight that Roseberry and the
liberal party will have to face grave
crisis after the retirement Of Mr.. Glad
stone In addition to the strong objec-
tion entertained by q large section Of
the new radical party to the selection
of a peer as the successor to Gladstone,
there is a soreness among the more
moderate liberals at the cavalier man
ner in which Gladstone has treated his
colleagues in the matter of his resig-
nation. 1t is believed that communlca-
tions have passed between members OF
the government and the leaders Of the
Irish nationalists. The latter is said tt
have received assurances that the pas
sage Of home rule measure win still
be the chief aim Of the government.

WEST VIRGINIA RIOTS.
Striking Miners Commit Numerous Acts
of Lawlessness.

Charleston, W. Va, March 3.-Late
last night Sheriff Gilman received a.
telegram from the superintendent Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio road saying al
body Of armed strikers at Coalburg, 16I
miles from here, threatened to tear upI
the tracks and burn the bridges. The
sheriff at once left for the scene with
4 posse, and arrived at Coalbrug at 1880
The new $4,000 bridge between Coal
burg and Achine had been fired and
totally destroyed A body of masked
strikers, who did the work, had disap-
peared The sheriff left posse on
guard and returned here. Further
trouble is unavoidable. Excitement at
Eagle and Powellton is at fever heat
1t is just learned that the wires be-
tween here and Powellton have been
cut, and crisis is feared. A messen-
ger has been sent to the scene to ascer-
tain the situation.
The wires are cut at several points,
so the governor cannot communicate
with the troops at Eagle and Powellton.
Railroad officials are cooperating with
the governor, carrying messages by rail
as far as Cabin Greek, whence they go
horseback and will report to the gov
ernor as soon as possible.
Latest advices from Cabin Creek and
Eagle say everything is apparently
quiet. The governor insists that the coal
operators set the men at work while the
militia are on the ground, so as to
have the matter settled at once.

Special Dispatch to he Daily Eagle.
Ell RENo,O. T., May &c. deputy United
State. Marshals Madsen, Prater. Eichhof,
Hancock, Williams and Sheriff jackson
of this county came in this morning, hav-
ing in their custody Vic Casey. a brother
of james Casey, who was indicted 10y the
present grand jury for the murder of Sam
Faris at Yukon. The former was cap
tured in g county within few miles OF
his fathers place near Arapaho. He was
well armed. but surrendered to the
officers. A wound was found in his right
leg, through the calf of which n bullet
was sent during the struggle between the
officers and these brothers at Yukon last
Monday. Much credit is due Deputy Mad
sen and Sheriff Jackson who with their
able posses are fast breaking up gang
of outlaws who have for some time past
infested the western country.
Especially is their action in this partic-
ulxr instance ommendable, for all hope
of ever securing the slayer of Faris had
about been given up when Sheriff jackson
and Deputy Madsrn took up the trail.
Notwithstanding previous reports 10 the
contrary Deputy Madsen is making an en-
viable record in the territory as q good
officer, and the lawless are ever on the
alert in their attempt TO evade him and
his men, who when once Oh the trail OF
criminal never give up or come in without
bringing their maO. 1t was Madsel who
recently. at the risk of his life, took Nate
Sylvia and one Young, implicated in the
attempted Rock Island tain robbery in
the Strip. The men were both heavily
.rlned and prepared for an attack and
Hight.

oMe or L,fe.s MYSTERIES.

Why Some People Pass Empty Car 8sass
and Crowd Those Partially Oeeapsea.
There is one thing that has always
been more or less Of = mystery to me, :"
said traveller to writer for the New
York Sun, "and that Il the motive that
prompts some passengers in . car in
which there are entirely vacant seats
to take seat with somebody. In some
cases the reason for this is simple
enough: it may be that the person
takes the first seat he comes 70 and il
satisfied; it may be that the vacant
entire seats are at the other end of the
car and not seen at . casual glance;
sometimes a person unaccustomed to
travel rather timidly takes the first
seat At hand: but the person that I
have in mind is the one who either de-
liberately, or with what one might call
deliberate thoughtlessness, takes a
seat with somebody when there are
vacant entire seats in plain sight l
have seen, for instance, man sitting
by a window, alone in a seat. In car
in which there was plenty of room,
reading. Knowing that there was
plenty of room he had perhaps sort Of
preempted that seat, and was making
himself comfortable in it, and was
thinking Of nothing but his reading.
Along comes rather stout lady, who,
though there is more room elsewhere,
for some to me utterly Incompetent
sible reason, decides that she wants
to sit in that particular seat. She
moves silently. She halts in the aisle
at the end of the seat, and slowly
moves in so that she can sit down.
She says nothing to the man. She
does not even look At him; she has not
looked at him since the moment that
she decided to take that seat, and he il
as yet unconscious of her presence
Looking straight ahead with great
calmness, she sits down deliberately
Then the man looks around with .
panied sort of look. He moves closer
to the window and goes on reading,
but he won't regain his inward com
posture for an hour. Now why the
lady should have taken that particular
seat is one of the taing that don't
understand"
