TALKS LYNCHING.
RumOr That A lob Are After Jack SON
and WR1Iins.

MUNcIE, Ind, Feb. IA letter re-
ceived in this city discloses a plot to
lynch Scott Jackson, Alonzo Walling,
William Wood and the Gasker broth
ers. 1t says that at least 1000 men
will take part in the killing. There
now live in Nun Gle three families who
formerly resided in the moonshiners'
district of Kentucky and Western
West Virginia. They were members
of the moonsh iners' organization,
which, it is said, has over 1900 mem
bers. One of these men received a let
ter instructing the three to come to
Kentucky to take part in the lynching.
The letter stated that the mob
would be furnished with Winchester
rifles; also, that paper had been Sc
cretly circulated in Newport, KY, and
1,50O men had signed it, signifying
their willingness to join the moon
sinners.
1t was further said that unless the
murderers were taken to Kentucky
the mob of 1000 would bear down on
the Cincinnati jail, armed with Win
chesters, and lynch the men.
The Gasker brothers are supposed to
have rowed Pearl Bryan down the
Ohio on the night of the murder.

Alleged Murderers of Pearl Bryan In
dieted by a Frankfort Jury.

Alleged Murderers of Pearl Bryan In
dieted by Frankfort Jury.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 14.-The mys-
terious murder of Pearl Bryan has
several more cIues-an I'M brella han
die found near the scene of the muir
der and handle1ess razor found in
Walling's trunk. There is a reward
of $500 by two morning papers and $50
by the owner of the farm on which the
murder was committed for the discOv-
cry of Pearl Bryan's head. with pros
pect of $500 more from citizens of
Greenctle, Ind, making 81, 1885, This,
with the intensifying Interest in solv-
ing the mystery, stimulates the search
by every body.
Sheriff Plummer of Newport, KY,
has gone to Frankfort, KY, for a
requlsitiOn for Scott jackson and
Alonzo M. Walling, who were jointly
indicted by the Campbell county grand
jury for the murder of Pearl Bryan,
and who are in jail here. The charge
against Walling and jackson was
changed here from murder to sEfugi-
tives from Justice" for the abandon
ment of jurisdiction by Ohio and facil-
itating their extradition to Kentucky
The prisoners will contest the extra
ditiOn. The authorities and the people
of Newport feel aggrieved that there
should be fear of the prisoners being
1ynched there. The sheriff says he
can take care, of the prisoners and
that if he finds danger of siege and
the Newport jail not strong enough to
withstand it, he can remove them.
Jackson in an interview in iail said
he was perfectly willing to go to New
port, and in case he was 1ynched,
Walling would be also. and there
would be the satisfaction that the
guilty life went ont with the innocent
one. Walling said substantially the
same thing, promising that Jackson's
would be the guilty life.

TARIFF BILL s1DETRAckED.
Motion to Take it Up Decisively De-
feated in the Senate.

feated in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb lathe friends
of the tariff bill met an unex-
pected repuIse yesterday afternoon,
when by the vote of 81 yeas to % nays
the enate defeated the motion of Mr.
Morrill,, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, to take up the tariff bill. The
negative vote, which defeated the mo-
ton, was given by Democrats, Popu-
lists and four Republican senators,
viz: Teller, Mantle, Dubois and Car
ter. The affirmative vote was en-
t1rely Repu blican, but its total of 21
is less than half of the aggregate Re-
publican strength. Mr.. Morrilrs mo-
ton has been anticipated for some
days, but it was not pressed pend
ing consideration of the urgent de-
ticiency bill This measure was
disposed of at o'clock and the strug-
at once. Mr.. Morrill, was hurriedly
summoned from the finance committee
room to submit his motion. In the
meantime Mr.. Call had secured the
enforcement of the agreement entered
into some days ago that the Cuban
question should be taken up. Mr..
Morrill, was not deferred by the agree
ment, however, and pressed his
motion to take up the tariff bill. The
result of the vote left the Cuban reso-
lutions as unfinished business, al
though these have yielded temporarily
to the military academy and other APP
preparation bills The urgent de-
ficiency bill was passed. 1t carries
about 81, 900, ono, q considerable in
crease over the bill passed in the
House.
The resolution was adopted direct
ing the Pacific Railroad committee to
make full inquiry into the status of
the Pacific railroads. In this connec-
ton Mr.. Allen criticised the manner
of hearing the interested railroad
officials, and not the disinterested pa
irons of the roads. Early in the day
Mr.. Pettigrew made a savage speech
against the ''Highwavmen and Con-
spirat tors connected with the Pacific
roads and urged the foreclosure of
government liens.
The tariff vote had scarcely been
announced when a story was started
that the result was an indication of
the means that the combination of the
anti-tariff and pro-si1ver men intended
to employ to defeat the bill, and ad
missions made by some of the more
pronounced silver publicans who
voted against consideration. gave color
to this rumor. They said the result
meant that there must either be an
agreement to couple silver with the
tariff and allow the bill to pass in
that shape or submit to having any
proposition for the consideration of
the bill defeated in the future.

TOWNSHIP SETTLERS WIN.
Final Decision Against veder B. Payne,
Who Claimed half of Guthrie, Ok.

GUTHRIE, Ok, Feb. 14.-The cele-
brated case of Veder B. Payne against
the townsite settlers of Guthrie, in
which Payne claimed title to half of
East Guthrie, including the finest
residence part of the city, thiclzly
built up with fine residences, was de-
cided by the supreme court yesterday
in favor of the townsite settlers.
Payne claimed to have settled upon
the land first on the day of the orig
inal opening of Oklahoma to settle
ment, riding here from the coast line,
and beating the settlers. who came Oh
the train. His claims are all dis
proven, however, and the fact also
held that he did not take the land in
good faith to homestead, but for spec
ulative purposes. The decisions of

KANSAS OIL EXCITEMENT.

The Standard Com-any VIII Open Wells
Plugged Suddenly a Year Ago.
Fort SCOTT, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE
Standard Oil company is unloading
oil drilling and pumping machinery at
Bronson, this county, for the purpose
of opening up wells which were drilled
a year ago and lugged suddenly. At
the time the company gave no reason
for abandoning the wells and the land
owners on whose farms they had been
drilled had no knowledge of the cessa-
ton of operations until the machinery
had been removed and the wells
plugged. This gave rise to a suspicion
that oil had been found and the COM
pany was suppressing the fact. The
importation of machinery now sub
stantiates that theory. Bronson is
much excited. Its paper has issued
special ''oil edition" The Standard
Oil Company has oil leases on a large
acreage of land in Bourbon county,
but the unloading of its machinery is
