1t is something opposed to the Ideas OF lnde-
pendence and freedom appertaining to America
that the Salvation Army in this country should
be subject to the orders Of central authority
in England. The protest made at the meeuhg
on Monday night against the recall OF Com
mander Booth and his wife was an Impressive
one. and the expression Of interest in their work
must have been gratifying in the extreme to the
head Of the Army here. Nevertheless, Mr.. ana
Mrs. Booth are sufficiently well-trained soldiers
to obey orders without a murmur, and they nave
no expectation that General Booth will alter his
mind. 1t appears that this change is only one OF
many on the point Of being made, doubtless WIN
the purpose Of increasing the efficiency OF the
Salvation Army Still much feeling Will be
aroused among the adherents Of the movement
in this country, as well as in the Christian COM
munity in general. and strong reasons for the
change will have to be given before 1t can De
accepted as wise.

LAW IN WASHINGTON
Temporary Injunction Not
Suspended During Appeal.
OPINION BY JUDGE GORDON
supreme Court Says It Remains In
Force and Stay Bond May Be
Properly Denied.

Olympia, Wash, Sept. 25.--In the
case of the state of Washington ex.
rel. the Commercial Electric Light &
Power Company vs.. j. q. Stallcup,
judge of the superior court of Pierce
county, the supreme court today denied
the writ prayed for. This action was
begun by the city of Tacoma against
the light company to obtain perpetual
injunction, restraining the company
from stringing wires in the streets of
Tacoma, Upon the hearing below, the
court issued temporary injunction
pending the litigation, and required
the city to enter into a bond in the
sum of $4,000 to pay any damage the
defendant might sustain by reason Of
temporary injunction. Thereupon the
relatof gave notice of appeal from the
order granting the temporary injunc.
tion, filed its cost bond on appeal and
moved Judge Stallcup to fix the amount
OF stay bond. pending the appeal
The court denied the motion, and re-
fused to fix the amount of such bond in
SO far as it might supsend the operation
OF the temporary injunction.
The proceeding in the supreme court
was for writ of mandate directed TO
the respondent judge, requiring him to
fix the amount of said bond, and this
single question is presented, says the
court: Is the temporary injunction
operative during the tendency of ap-
peal from the order granting it.
In the opinion, written by Jugde
Gordon and ooncurred in by Judges
Scott, Anders and Dunbar, it Is said
the court is unable to find any author
ity which supports the claim that an
appeal from an order awarding a tenn
porary injunction annuls the order and
leaves the parties against whom it is
directed as free to act as il the injunc.
tlon had not been awarded. Section s,
OF the act of 1898, governing appeals,
expressly provides that in all cases
where final Judgment shall be rem
dered wherein temporary injunction
has been granted, and the party at
whose instance such injunction was
granted shall appeal from such iudg-
ment, such injunction shall remain in
force during the tendency of the APP
peal. The enactment Of this section
strengthens the presumption that the
general provisions of section Z, of the
same act, were not intended to en-
brace cases like the present. It seems
plain that if the general provisions of
section are applicable to appeals from
an order granting temporary injunc-
tlon, trey are equally applicable to
cases provided for by section s, hence
section cannot be held to suspend the
injunction pending an appeal from the
order allowing it.

One of the most heinous murders in
the history of Louisiana was committed
by negro boy named John johnson
IN a farmhouse four miles south of In.
dependence Joe Cotton, his wife, her
brother and two sisters were killed,
the first by pistol shot ana the other
four with an ax. The fiend who COM
mltted thi; quintuple murder is negro
boy who has been in the employ of
Cotton since April 2. He was allowed
TO sleep in the same house. The mo-
tive is a mystery, as no attempt at
robbery had been made. The only
member Of the family who escaped
was little Maud Miller. IA years old
She darted from the house and gave
the alarm. She says she saw johnson
begin the butchery by striking her
mother with the AK. The murderer is
still at large and is being tracked with
bloodhounds by q mob He will prob
ably be lynched if caught.

sprang to arrest the fend's arm. but
the blow fell across the infants face.
A desperate fight between father and
daughter took place. The girls
screams brought assistanees and the

of death, but the infant may live.

New York, Sept. 28.-R. g. Dun g.
Co. s weekly review of trade says
A very moderate and distinct i'm
provement is seen, no longer only in
the buying Of materials, which con-
tinues at. sitter prices, but also in or
ders for prod-cts of some industries, in
money markets and in export of staples,
and it is yet little more than step
toward better things but has already
started some important works and
prompted few considerable contracts.
Continuing arrivals of gold have
raised the treasury reserve above $l25,
100000, strengthened the banks and
relaxed the stringency in commercial
loans, so that at about per cent lower
rates more business was done than in
three previous weeks. Hoarding is no
longer reported, but some boards are
being unlocked.
The movement CT crops continues
large, and purchases for exports have
advanced prices or prevented depres-
sion. While the gains in working
force is not great. it seems clear that,
for the first time in many months, there
is some gain. An important change is
the general advance in produce, and
especially in wheaE which rose sharp
ly, closing l-Sc higher for the week,
with much buying, apparently for
/ foreign account.

GulTEAu or BAD MEMORY.
Display In Salem of a Collection o
Gruesome Relics

Salem, Or, Sept. 2S. The men,
ory of Charles j. Guiteau, the assassin
of President Garfield, has been revived
here by a display of relics by bust.
ness house. The collection is the prop.
erty of +. s. Lull nephew of John @.
Crocker. who was warden Of the Wash.
ington city Jail during the time of
Guiteau's incarceration. Among the
collection is q piece of the hemp rope
with which the assassin was hanged,
and also a piece of the cotton rope that
his hands were tied with. Each is
about l u inches long. Warden
Crocker died two years ago, but Mr..
Luil has a certificate in his uncle's
handwriting that the hemp memento
was cut from the rope that hanged
Guiteau. The collection also conta ms
bottle of the sand used in testing the
strength of the hangman's rope, a
cribbage board made from the lid Of
Guiteau's coffin, and lock of his HAIR.
A relic among the collection that at
tracts special attention is facsimile
of the bullet that was aimed at the
prisoner by Jail guard. The bullet
after passing through Guiteau's coat
and photograph in his pocket, struck
the brick wall and fiattened ont. The
shape OF the lead when picked up bore
such marked resemblance to the bust
of Guiteau that it was preserved, and
facsimiles have since been made.
During part of the time of the as
sassin's confinement in Jail, his mail
matter was two to three wagonloads a
day. 1t consisted mostly of letters de-
nouncing Guiteau, often accompanied
with hideous drawings and pictures,
and the contribution of bouquet by
one person, Edward Dickey. Wash.
ington florist. The collection secured
from Mr.. Lull contains preserved
leaf from the bouquet and the card
which accompanied it. On the card is
inscribed: I'VE meet in paardise
Farewell. Another neatly written
card of the collection reads:
You call yourself Git tow,
You villainous. numbering imp;
But we are glad to know
You surely will get hemp"
A pen-and-ink drawing pictures a
Jail with an empty cell and a scaffold
in the rear. Below the empty cell is
written: Empty is the cradle,
Charles Guiteau is gone.
Another represents Guiteau in agony
just after the trapdoor has been
sprung. The picture is designated as
the irresistible impulse.
A pin, the head representing the as
sassinated president, Ia accompanied
with the instructions that it be worn
June 80, 1882, the date of the execu.
tion. The Lull collection contains q
vast amount of Confederate money.
One bill for $50 is made payable two
years after secession has triumped.

PROTECTED BY TROOPS

but Were Frig htened by the
Sight of the Guns.

Leadviile, Sept 20. The first dele
CATION of miners from Missouri arrived
over the Denver 81 Rio Grande at 4:20
p. M. The train was a special, and
was met at Malta, three miles out, by
the two new companies of militia or
ganized this week and composed en-
tirely of business men and clerks.
They escorted the train to the city,
where ii was met by one-half of Gen
eral Brooks command, 500 strong,
with portion of the Chaffee light ar
tillery, two Gatling guns and cav
airy troop.
The seventy five miners were sur
rounded by soldiers and the cavalcade
passed down Harrison avenue to East
Fifth street, and thence toward the
Emmett mine. Along the route there
were frequent yells of "scab' from
strike sympatihzers, and the soldiers
were hooted at. After leaving the
avenue and getting TO section where
many miners live, the call of 'scab"
and jeering at the troops increased in
volume.
At Orange street, the cavalcade
halted for breathing spell, and here
the enraged crowd grew more demon
strative, crowding closely upon the
troops and showering abusive epithets
alike upon miners and militia One
of the officers, who was singled out by
the men for special abuse and crowd
ing. grew angry and finally drew his
sword, striking one of his tormentors
across the face with the fat side Of the
sword and giving the other hard
blow ON the back as he turned away.
The command being ready to move.
the order was given to charge the
crowd with gun butts and push them
back TO give room for the marching
column. Ii was most welcome order,
and the celebrity with which 1t was
obeyed sent a panic through the crowd,
who fled over fences and through
yards. Several windows of houses
were broken in by men blind with fear
who simply dashed away from the guns
and landed inside the windows with
hands and faces bleeding from the
broken glass. The march was then re.
sumed without further incident.
The miners were soon inside the EN-
met stockade, and the escort of militia
returned to camp
