Professor C. Howard Young, our ar dent woman suffragist of Hartford, is looking for the time when statue shall be erected to the author of ''Un- cle Toms Cabin" here in the city of her long residence and final departure, and is doing what he can for the crystaliza- tion of the idea. He suggested few years ago that a statue of Mrs. Stowe should be placed in the Congressional Library as the author of Uncle Toms Cabin and the liberator of the colored race" Kate Field, in her Washingto- nian, published the appeal. Another statue was suggested alongside of pr, Horace Wells on Bushnell Park he who Liberated humanity from pain.
 Professor Young believes that the money for this purpose could be raised by school children of the state. Mrs. Stowe belonged to humanity-to the whole world. With her pen and that of Lincoln, Grants bayonets and Miss Carroll's (of Maryland) military plan. two million slaves were freed"
 In the designers own reference to the work, he says: Mrs. Stowe's stat ue might have in her hand a book. Un- cle Tom's Cabin, and the inscription: "A woman who freed two million men. Mrs Stowe believed in woman suffrage, which will ultimately, in Gods good time, free seven hundred and fifteen million, or one-half the population of the globe.

YESTERDAY IN THE COURTS
HABE.IS CORPUS MOTT ON DENIED IN
 THE DRINKELL CASE.

Peculiar Points of Law Involved-John r. Daley Held for Serious Assault-A Suit for Wages-George Hopton on the Warpath- Other Court Notes.
 Judge Hotchl<iss denied yesterday the states motion in the Drinkell habe- as corpus, whereby they claimed the court has no right to go behind the governors Jurisdiction. Judge Hotch- kiss said he had carefully examined the references of both sides and found the states motion should be struck out.
 This left the case where it was before the motion was offered. F. D. Rood, executive secretary of the state was present and produced the papers pre- sented to the governor of this state from the governor of New York state asking for the extradition of Drinkell,
 Attorney Conlon asked for the dis charge of the accused, as there was a wide difference between the condition of the papers of the governors of the two states. In the warrant of the gov ernor of New York, asking for the ex- tradition of Drinkell, the prisoner was charged with breaking his parole while the papers of the governor of Connecti- cut stated he was wanted for burglary.
 MT. Conlon explained to the court what a fugitive, according to law, was, and did not think Drinkell could be eXtradited on the charge of breaking his parole
 Attorney Williams answered Attor- ney Conlon. He said fugitive could not withdraw until he had suffered the full consequence for his act. He did not know as the authorities had any right to allow the prisoner to go to Michigan, but if he had escaped he could not be returned to prison. Why not, if he violated his parole.
 The case was continued until il o'clock this morning, when Judge Hotchkiss will render his decision. The decision is looked forward to with in terest by the lawyers of the state, as s the case has involved points of law that have never before been ruled up- on.

Homeless Inhabitants Wreak Vengeance
on One IncendiaIy.
By Special Wire to the SUNDAY LIGHT.
MALVERN, Ark, July lS.-At an
early hour this morning fire broke
out in four different sections of
this town and before the people
could subdue the flames the entire
town was doomed to total destruc-
tien. The fire burned fiercely for
several hours, leveling to the
ground house after house until
three alone remained, which were
saved through heroic efforts. The
estimated total loss will reach
800, 600, with probably one-half in
sured. There is much distress
among the homeless people, who
could save nothing but the clothes
on their backs.
1t was learned that the fire was
caused by four black fiends, who
applied the torch to different Sec
tions of the city. The object of
firing the town is unknown at this
hour.
One OF the black villains was
caught during the day, but before
his name or any particulars could
be gotten from him the Infatuated
citizens took him and hanged him
to the nearest pole left standing
and perforated the body with bull
let's. The other three, II caught,
will meet the same fate, as intense
excitement prevails among the
unfortunate people.
