HENDERSON CAPTURED.

CoIored Teacher Who Split Four HeadS
Open at Dunlap, Kan, Under Arrest.
EMPoRIA, Kan, Nov. 2O.-Dave Hen
derson, the colored school teacher who
hewed his way with a Ratchet through
a school ON full of people, splitting
the head two men and two'women,

taken back to Dunlap, in Morris eoun-
ty, where he now lies in Jail. He
claims he was surrounded by crowd
of Infatuated men who were Shooting:
Kill him! Kill him." and that he had
to do what he did in self defense.
None of the injured persons had as
yet died, although Mrs. Ray and Tom
Sharkey are not expected to survive,
and the other two are nearly as badly
injured.
The schoolroom after the fracas was
like slaughter pen. chairs, desks and
walls being despatched with blood
Everything is quiet and the officers
say they are confident no attempt at
lynching will be made. However.
should any of the injured die, there is
a feeling that there will be trouble.

DEADLY ALABAMA FEUD.
Well Started by Battle in Which Two

Well Started by Battle in Which Two
Were Killed and One Injured.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov 20.-As the
result of feud among the Eandley,
Jones and Kilgore families, Joe Kill
gore and John Jones are dead, and
John Handley is fatally injured.
Some time ago Jones accused Handley
of stealing watermelons, which the lat
ter denied. The story, which received
some circulation, caused much talk, re-
sulting in hard feelings between the
families of the men, who are all pr omi-
nent young farmers, and closely 1e-
lated. Handley, accompanied by
Frank Kilgore, a relative, went to Oak
Run to. trans act some business. Both
men carried their rifles. Jones and
Joe Kilgore, a cousin of Frank, fol-
lowed and overlook them near Mari
eta. Jones told Handley that if he
would So bmit to a cow-hiding that
would settle matters. HandIey re-
jected the proposition and Jones and
his friend opened fire. Each man
fired until his ammunition was ex-
hausted. Frank Klgore, who was I'M
hurt, has fed. Intense feeling is
shown by the different families, and
it is feared that each faction will take
up arms against the other.

A huge wagon loaded with iron beams
was drawn up Broadway by six horses tho
other day. All other vehicles made room
for this, pedestrians scrambled out of its
way in crossing the street, and even the
cable car gripmen said nothing when it
got on the tracks. The beams ratified and
bumped against each other, making a
frightful din, and all conversation in their
vicinity had to be suspended. The driver,
porched on bundle of blankets, appeared
to be the only person not annoyed by the
racket. ''In the progress of civilization, "
said an old man, removing his fingers
from his ears after the truck had passed,
''this sort of outrage may be prohibited.
The time will doubtless come when people
will read with wonder of the barbaris1n
that permitted the clangor Of bells, the
blowing of whistles, the rattle of wagons
and the thousand and one other frightful
noises that are now allowed to offend. In
that day the rufffans who parade such a
monster as this in the public streets will
be sent to the penitentiary. When you
reflect that little trouble in placing soft
materials between these beams would pre-
vent the present nuisance, it seems mar
velous that the law should tolerate it. -

THE MURDER OF LEONARD.
Appears That His Mistress, Her Husband
and Son Were All Implicated

Appears That His Mistress, Her Husband
and Son Were All Implicated
WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 20.-At the in
quest over the body of Henry q. Leon
ard, murdered in this city Sunday,
supposedly by his mistress, Irene
Williamson, some startling evidence
was introduced duplicating Marion
Williamson, her divorced husband, in
the crime. G. q. States saw both
Williamson and his divorced wife in a
sequestered spot in the country five
hours before the crime was committed,
looking over the insurance policy of
the life of Leonard Mrs. Williamson
has confessed this. Another witness
saw Williamson running excitediy out
of the alley where the body was found.
It was also proven that the William,
son woman was secretly and illegally
married to Leonard at Marion, Kan,
about three weeks ago. Both Will
hanson and his former wife, in their
ignorance, overlooked the fact in the
policy that it excepted murders, and
hence there is no beneficiary.
The corOner's jury held Marion
Williamson, his former wife, and her
boy, Norville, guilty of the murder.
1t is intimated that the boy has made
confession charging his father and
mother with the murder and alleging
that they had formed conspiracy for
her to get divorce and marry Leon
ard, and when she had got her insur-
anee money on his death they would
marry again.

Kissing Unknown In Japan.

"Strange as it may appear" says NJ. De
Guerville in his account of japanese WON
en-, "a kiss is an unknown thing in Japan
not unknown to the gay maidens of Yo-
kohama, Kobe or Nagasaki, who have Sc
m UGH to do for the amusement of foreign
ers, but unknown to the Japanese in gen.
eral. A lover never kisses his sweetheart,
o mother never kisses her child. He made
a great mistake, the man who wrote that

language of love- You can kiss any Jap'

GEN. HARRISON. RICH NOW.
An Investment in South Africa Nets Him
500 900.

500 900.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20.-Ex-P President
Harrison has become rich man as
the result of speculation in South Afri-
can enterprises.
Gen. Harrison's frugality is well
known. He was comfortably we'll off
when he entered the White house, and
when he left it he had saved enough out
of his salary of $50,O00 year to make
his fortune secure.
His South African speculation cost
him perhaps not over $500, and for it he
gets in return quite 100000 in each and
shares in a corporation which promises
to pay enormous dividends. The 500,
900 or more thus acquired ia practically
'.pick up"
Nearly two years ago syndicate, COM
posed of ex President Harrison. John c.
Wright, of the Chase National Bank of
New York City, and others, engaged n.
S. Sheard, q Montana mining expert. to
go to South Africa and give his opinion
on piece of mining property on which
they had an option.
The property could be bought for $685.
600, and if Mr. Sheard said it was all
right the deal would be closed. In re-
turn for his services Mr.. Sheard was to
receive one-quarter interest In the pro-
perty acquired. Lately the mine was sold,
and for his interest Mr.. Sheard received
$500, 900 in cash, besides 1000 shares in
the new mining company to be formed.
Sir Richard Brown, vice cashier of the
Bank of England. bought the property,
paving $4,000 in cash. He also issued
TO the syndicate 10000 shares of stock in
the new company he formed.
Gen. Harrison denies the African
story.

Leav enworth Operators Accede
to the Miners Demands.
Home Riverside Company Will
Pay Miners Scale.
WILL GET so CENTS.
The Miners Regard the Settle
ment a Great Victory.
Some Minor Differences Are Yet
to be Fixed.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Nov. 2O.-The
operators of the Home-Riverside coal
mines have acceded to the demands of
the strikers and have given notice that
in the future the miners will receive
eighty cents per ton. The following
notice posted at both the Home and
Riverside shafts:
Notice to Employees:
From and after November 10, 1895,
and until further notice, the schedule
of prices for mining, brushing, day
labor, etc, and the schedule Of prices
for employees coal, house rent and
blacksmithing in effect prior to June
1, 1894, will be put into operation by
the Home Riverside Coal Mining COM
pany at its pla nts, Nos. and ?.
GEORGE w. KIERsTEAD,
Superintendent"
The schedule referred to means the
payment of 80 cents per ton for min
ing. Whether or not it includes Civ
ing to the miners a check weighman
is not yet known, but the strikers will
insist on having check weighman, as
provided by the Kansas statutes.
This ending of the strike is looked
upon by the miners as a great victory.
Some time ago the Home-Riverside
mines gave notice of reduction from
eighty cents to seventy cents per ton,
alleging that they were unable to
compete with Missouri coal mines and
give more than the latter rate. The
miners accepted the reduction without
murmur, and things were running
along smoothly, when the miners at
the North Leavenworth coal shaft,
who were receiving eighty cents per
ton, walked out of that mine and made
a united effort to induce the miners of
the other two shafts to go out On
strike.
The situation was a novel one-oper-
atives without d grievance quitting
work to induce others to go out on a
strike who had not made demands for
themselves. The operatives of the
North Leavenworth shaft, however,
saw that their eighty cents per ton
rate could not be maintained if other
neighboring mines were to only pay
seventy cents, and hence they took the
risk of this method to have their own
schedule held up This happened four
weeks ago, since which time there has
been very unsettled condition among
the miners

Fire From whisky Explosions.

LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 2o.-The large
five story building known as the
Harker block, was almost destroyed
by fire. Fire started in the liquor
store of ]. n. Beavy. on the first floor.
1t spread rapidly and was aided by re-
peated explosions of whisky in barrels.
which blew out the windows and
created havoc with the windows in ad-
joining buildings. All the engines in
the city were at work and it looked as
if the fire was under control, but sud
denly it blazed up furiOusly and did
great damage to the block.
By hard work the flames were con-
fined to the building and nearby prop
erty was only slightly damaged. The
upper floors of the block were used by
the Appleton Manufacturing Company
for the storage of cotton goods. and it
is estimated there were $500, 900 worth
there when the fire broke out. From
present estimates the loss will exceed
8200. 600

Two Suspected Men Have Been
Arrested for 1t.
TALK OF LYNCHING.
Marshals Are Guarding the Jail
to Prevent 1t.
Thirty-twO Buildings Were
Burned-Loss $150,0O0.

PURGE Ii, Ind. Ter, Nov. 20.-Fire
broke out in the Star store, in the mid
die of the principal business block on
the north side of Main street. A
heavy wind was blowing from the
north, and the flames spread with
frightful rapidity, soon sweeping the
entire side of the street. which was
made up of frame buildings, and the
Chickasaw National Bank building on
the north side of the block.
The high wind increased almost to
q tornado, driving the flames across
the street, and in a few minutes all
the frame buildings on the south side
We're burning. Two brick buildings,
Blanchard & Woods dry goods house,
and Campbelfs drug store, were also
consumed. Every building on the
block is more or less injured. Some
of the stocks are seriously damaged.
The east side of Canadian avenue was
swept for one and half blocks.
The fire is supposed to have been of
incendiary origin, and A Trough of
the Star store, dry goods and clothing,
is now lodged in jail, charged with
arson. Persons testify to having seen
him leave his building Just as the
flames burst out. P. Glucksman, man
ager of the Chickasaw Mercantile Com
pany, is also in Jail on the same
charge Witnesses claim to have seen
him during the progress of the fire
enter his store, which was thought at
the time to be out of danger, and pour
coal oil around. The feeling was very
strong against both men, and for
time lynching seemed certain, but it
now seems that the danger of that has
passed, though force of deputy mar
shals is guarding the Jail
