RENTONS FATE IN HONDURAS.
THE GOVERNMENT VOW AFTER
THE AMERICANS MURDERERs.


The Dead Mans sIayers Alleged to
Have Becn His Rivals in business.
They Follow Up Their Crime by
Driving His wife and Niece From
the Counsry-TrouBIe Experienced
in Getting Nicaragua 20 Take Ac-
ton.
Washington. June 26-The state DEPART
ment to-day received the gratifying In
formation that the government Of Hon.
duras has at last taken positive action to-
ward bringing to justice the murderers OF
Charles w Renton. an American citizen,
who resided at Brewers Lagoon, Hondu-
ras. with his wife and niece. The lnforma-
ton was received this morning in a eable-
gram from Mr.. Pringle. charge d'anaires
OF the United States at Guatemala City,
I'm which he says that the Honduran min
lister for foreign affairs had telegraphed
him that three OF the persons implicated
In the murder had been arrested.
For more than a year the state depart-
ment has vainly tried to bring the gov
ernment Of Honduras to a realization OF
its responsibilities in the case. Mr.. Rem
ton was murdered on March l6, 1894, and his
wife and niece were driven from the coun-
try by the murderers. who are alleged TO
have been business rivals OF their victim.
Mrs. Renton came to Washington In May.
1884, and presented her case personally.
and then went to New York. where she
engaged counsel and submitted a formal
statement. Mr. Uhl, who was Acting
oF NJ At
called on the United States consular Of
ficers In Honduras TO report all the facts
In the matter. but the reports received
from there were unsatisfactory, as the
nearest consul was 800 miles distant from
Brewers Lagoon.
so Mr.. Uhl asked the navy department
TO send a war vessel TO the scene OF the
crime to investigate. The Montgomery was
dispatched in March last and about the
middle OF that month Commander Davis
submitted HIS report on March ~. 1895,
Mr.. Uhi cabled Mr.. Young, the United
States minister TO Guatemala and Hondu-
ras, that the naval investigation had es-
tabished that Renton was murdered and in
structod him to urge on the government
Of Honduras prompt action so that the
guilty parties should not escape punish
ment. Two days later Mr. Young cabled
that he had requested the Honduras gov
ernment TO act promptly, and on the 23d
Of that month he again informed the de-
partment that Honduras had promised to
take action.
Mr., Uhl was not satisfied, however. with
the course OF events, and the next day tele-
graphed Mr.. Young that the President was
disappointed because Honduras had not
acted promptly, and instructing Mr.. Young
20 urge action and report progress. Mr..
Young responded on the 26th that he had
again impressed on Honduras the necessi-
ty Of vigorous action and a speedy report:
that the government had assured him that
they were prosecuting the investigation
with the utmost diligence and that he hop
ed soon TO be able to report satisfactory
results. The next communication IN the
correspondence Is that received to-day
from Mr.. Pringle.

lie. If some brave northern man had been chivalrous enough to effect a change in nomenclature, then probably we would not endure the affliction of knowing that the faithfully enterprislng Susan must still and ever (B) be Anthony. I believe that the thorny rose would, in such in- stance, smell just a little sweeter by some other name!'' Susan should have taken to cat in youth and strictly adhered to that typical cat in her later age, rather than exhausting her fine en- ergies in accomplishing the total ruin of womanhood in general and the south in particular.
 The Times article strikes me dumb with amazement, when stating that Gu ba Grey Is herself one product of the 'woman's movement because women did not fifty years ago write political articles for newspapers" Kindly fates-come to my assistance, beseech! Of what am accused-ir thus being termed product of the woman's movement"-by my crit ic? How could I be so mistaken? At the feet of no such ludicrous Gamaliel as Susan Anthony has Cuba Grey ever been inclined to sit. My ideas are my own, founded upon serious events which have transpired in the worlds history, and l have drawn certain infeSnces from those events. I follow the lead of no other woman on this terrestrial globe. Susan has not the honor of including me among her singular list of disciples. My mother was accused fifty years ago. of writing political speeches" which my father delivered during his congressional campaigns, although my mother was actually innocent in such re- spect. My father was simply the hus- band of woman to whom political sub jects were congenial themes of thought and conversation. I was bred in a home circle, and also social circle, where poli- tics and literature formed constant top ics, and my childish mind acquired marked bias in such direction; but I am no product of Susan Anthonys philoso- phy-God forbid! If Susan Anthony had invaded my mothers premises fifty years ago" my mother would assuredly have deputed some negro men to grasp "hay forks" and reverently convey Miss Susan off the premises, which my mother would have deemed contaminated by the intrusion of female social anarchist. Fifty years ago. however. women did not advance" beyond the sphere as- signed them by nature. I trust that the Times critic will pardon if have per mitted "invectve" to creep into this communication. Such was not my in- tention; but really I am irately aroused by mention of Susan Anthony's name, when I think of the crusade now being conducted against time-honored south ern customs. It is only for the south that plead. Satan and Miss Susan may work their sweet will up north, for all that I care; but the south belongs, by right, to neither malign power I strike in behalf of southern men, southern wo- men and future generations of southern children.

EXTREMELY ILL.
The Electropoise Was Used With
 It's Usual Good Effects.
Will Do All That Is Claimed for It
 and Much More.

I have a near neighbor named Bene- neld, who is a-fisherman and has large family. Sometime since he went up a marshy creek some distance on fishing trip and was gone three or four days being accompanied by two of his boys On his return home from this trip one e the boys was very sick, and had a high fever and a bowel trouble. He went to ped immediately on getting home, and was extremely i'll, not being able to move himself in bed for twenty-four hours, and was in very critical condition.
 l told MT. Benefield that If he would not laugh at me that I would put the Electropoise on him and cure him. He said that he would be glad to have me use It, so l applied 1t with plenty of ice and in half an hour was able to note change, while he continued to improve all night. In a day or two he was entirely well, and has been ever since
 We believe that 1t will do all that is claimed for 1t, and are willing to make an affidavit to that effect. MT. and Mrs. Benefeld will willingly testify to the above. Yours truly,
