THE MINSTREL PERpoRmANcE.
The Second show was nn Unqualified

success.
Another big audience greeted
the second minstrel performance
on Saturday evening at the drill
shed and when it was over every
one seemed satisfied to acknowl-
edge that they had more than re-
ceived the worth of their money.
There was little change in the
first part of the program, except
in the gags and local hits which
were many of them new and all
better told. AS usual newspaper
men came in for their share, j. T.
Stacker of the Advertiser receiv-
ing quite benefit.
Probably the best part of the
olio performance was the
vantriloquist act by w. H. Char
lock and assistants. This was so
well done as to deceive a great
portion of the audience. IL
it had been carried little further
the deception would have been
still more complete. The make
up of the dummies was capital,
and with elaboration the act
will bear repetition at a further
performance.
In the drill of the awkward
squad Mr.. Charlock again dis
tinguished himself in his take-off
as the colonel.
Mr.. Ordway's remarkable
musical talent was displayed
in his performance on
old bottless, tin can, ETC.,
while his solos on the guitar and
mandolin we're greeted with well
deserved applause.
Mr.. Finney's club swinging
brought out a persistent encore.
The Chinese laundry act show.

with roars of applause.
The afterpiece, entitled the
"Coon's Picnic" was written
arranged and staged by the stage
manager and not by Mr.. Over
sinner as stated in the morning
paper. 1t was amusing and well
received.
Professor Berger and his banG
boys added much to the pleasure
of the evening by their excellent
and well selected music, while the
ushers were attentive and we'll VI

VAR IN INDIAN TERRITORY.
Squasc- Men and FsstI- Blood SersSioIes In
Deadly Strife.

Squasy- Men and Fail Blood SensinoIes In
Deadly Strife.
WICHITA, RAMS, Aug. %. There is
serious trouble between the squaw-men
and full bloods of the Seminole nation in
the Indian Territory, and troops from the
First Cavalry reached the scene to-day
barely in time to avert general fight.
The full-bloods and squaw-men had a
desperate battle yesterday, in which three
fun-bloods were killed and several squaw-
men seriously injured. The trouble broke
out at the little village of Wewoka, where
about 200 squaw-men made an attack onsa
much larger number of full bloods, and
the latter fed panic-stricken through the
streets. The fulI-bloods are in control OF
the counci!, the law making of the Semi:
noles, and becoming alarmed at the en-
croachments of whites who have inter-
married, thus acquiring valuable property
rights and gohbsing up the best tracts OF
land, they passed law a few weeks ago
expelling all white men from the nation.
The whites resisted, and there has been
continuous turmoil. The Indian police
were ordered to clear the country of
whites, but their efforts have been inef-
fectual. The militia may auelI the dis
turbance, but the squaw-rnen will make a
stubborn fight for their homes.

CURIOUS CRIMINAL CASE
A Counterfeiter So Affected by a
Religious Revival That
He Confesses.
AS a Result H. and H Accomp1ices
Are in Jail and Their Tools
Are Captured.

WACO, Tex, Aug. 2S.-One of the most
curious cases in the criminal history OF
Texas has just come to light. The Fed
eral authorities have discovered gigantic
system of manufacturing counterfeit coin
in imitation of silver dollars of United
States mintage, and have captured several
equipments and three prisoners.
The discovery was the result af relig-
ious revival that has been in progress for
some time in this part of the State.
Among those attracted to one of these
meetings in this city was Edward Daniel
Ennis. He became so affected that he
finally arose and said that he had con-
fession which he felt he must make.
He said that he had been theological
student, but had fallen into bad ways and
was now engaged in counterfeiting. He
told where the crucibIes, base metals,
molds and rollers for milling the bogus
dollars were to be found.
The deputy Marshals captured the
equipment and arrested two other men
John Mitchell and II. S. Hammer. Yester-
day Ennis, Mitchell and Hammer were
arraigned before United States Commits
sioner Finks. In default of bail they went
to Jail.
The bogus dollars are made of one part
of silver and four parts of alloy. In his
confession Ennis, who is an educated man,
said that the counterfeiting syndicate was
called the Royal Manufacturing Company
and had plants at FL Paso, Birmingham,
Ala, and other places. 1t appears that
the bogus dollars were sent to Mexico and
exchanged for genuine Mexican silver.

nv DANCER OF BEING LYEcHED.
Three Masked Robbers Held on churoe
of Committing Cruel Crime
in Iowa,

OTTUMWA, Iowa, Aug. 2S.-Miss Mel.
lie Warner, 20 years OF age, is lying at the
point of death at Libertyville, Iowa, the
victim of an assault committed yesterday
by three masked men, and in the County
Jail are confined three young men charged
with the crime. They are being carefully
guarded to prevent lynchjng, which seems
most likely. The victim was alone at the
home of her parents, when three masked
men entered and committed an assault
after binding and gagglng the girl. They
then ransacked the house and carried
away all the valuables they could find.
The young woman freed herself, and
crawling to a neighbor's told the story
and gave description of the assailants.
Posses were sent out and in the evening
three men were arrested at Bladensburg.
They were jailed at Fairfield until to-day,
when they were taken before the girl.
After she gave the alarm she tainted and
revived only at times. It was when she
was half conscious that she looked at the
men brought before her, and she failed to
identity them. They were RECALLED to
await developments. The men fit the
description given and also that OF three
men who were seen to drive to the Warner
home in the morning. The citizens of
Jefferson County are excited and lynch
ing is looked for tonight.

RAILROAD TIED UP,
The american Manager Tn Conflict With

The american Manager in Conflict With
the Colombian authorities.
PANAMA, COLOMBIA, Aug. 2S.-The
Star and Herald says: The inha bitants of
the city of Carthaeena are greatly excited
over differences which have arisen in re-
gard to the contract of the Carthagena
and Magdalena River Railroad, which is
American property, constructed by Boston
capitalists and costing $5,000.00O. Senior
Gerling, Governor of the province. has or
dered Manager Ford of the railroad to re-
ceive and transport freight by weight,
threatening to fine and imprison him
should he fail to comply with the order.
Manager Ford made his reply on August
"a, refusing to obey the order, and it is
possible that he is under arrest at the
present moment, and the railroad shut
down. The Governor may seize and un-
dertake the management of the road, as
by the managers arrest the road would
have to suspend all operations, since there
would be no legal representative nor any
body else to look after the property.
Two thousand tons of freight are now
awaiting transportation, and more is ar
irving daily. The damages resulting
from the suspension of the operation of
the road will be very heavy.

c0L0RED KAKAL OFFICERS.
A Prospect That Shrs Up the Department
and Creates CONSERVATION at
ANNAPOLIS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2S.-The
Navy Department is stirred up over the
prospect of having two colored naval Of
fcers 1t has Just been learned that
among the young men who will present
themselves at the naval academy at An
napolis next week for physical examina-
tion as to their fitness to enter the
academy are two very bright young col
ored men. One of them is from Califor
MIA, while the other represents Chicago
district. Nothing was known as to their
color or antecedents until day or two
ago, because each of them received his ap-
pointment from his respective Congress
man after having passed at the head OF
the list IN competitive examination.
Several years ago a colored youth was
appointed as a cadet TO Annapolis and the
authorities of the academy compelled his
white associates to treat him with every
courtesy. On one occasion white cadet
from the South was ordered to fence with
the colored youth. He threw down his
foil and Indignantly refused to "cross
SWORDS with a nigger." The white cadet
was promptly dismissed from the acad-
emy. The colored cadet, whose name was
Conyers, was only of ordinary intelligence,
however, and at the examination in 1876,
when he was in his second year, he was
'LnrOWD, anu since Lneb time no cOlOTeQ
boys have been al the academy.
The two candidates who will report next
week are not likely, however, to fail at
any of the mental examinations which
they must undergo during their stay at the
academy, because of the remarkable in
telligence they displayed at the COM
petitive examinations, where they fairly
won their appointments. If they are
graduated-as there is every proba bility
they will be, unless they are found
physically deficient next week-the young
naval officers of four years hence are con-
fronted with the possibility of bunking
with colored roommates. The accommo-
Gations for the younger officers on thu
new warships are circumscribed, and un-
less the two colored cadets, when assigned
to their naval stations, can be detailed to
the same snip, there Is apt TO be some in
teresting developments in the future be-
fore the two colored cadets fly the ad-
mirals pennant.

Strange Stiffness About the House
Leads to the Horrible
Discovery.
AND FATHER AWAY.
Evidence That the Mother Committed
the Terrible Deed at Night
While Insane.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 28.-This
community was horriied to-day by the
discovery of dreadful tragedy in what
had always been regarded as one of the
happiest families in this city.
For several days people living in the
vicinity of the residence of Charles w.
Green. travelling passenger agent of the
Big Four Railway, had noticed that there
was no appearance of life about the house,
but that fact caused little surprise. FL
nally, however, in some way an investi-
cation came to be made to-day and hor
rible tragedy was discovered. 1t was
found that every member of the family
except Mr.. Green lay dead in the house.
The bodies were already beginning to
show signs of decomposition. showing
that death must have occurred some cou-
siderable time before. Neighbors remem-
bered that about o'clock Wednesday
morning pistol shots had been heard, and
it is now believed that the deadly work
took place at that time.
The body of Mrs. Green lay on the floor
in the doorway of the bedroom with a
CHASTITY wound in the head. The bodies
of the three little children were all iE bed.
Mrs. Green was fully dressed and near
her hand lay the revolver with which the
work had been done.
All the appearances indicate that Mrs.
Green committed the deed. She evidently
put her three children to bed and then re-
manned up waiting for the time to kill
them. She must have waited until 2
o'clock, the time that the shots were
heard. Then she stole into the bedroo m
and shot them as they lay asleep, ending
the tragedy with her own death.
The only possible explanation of the af-
fair is that Mrs. Green must have been
crazy. Her home life was a peculiarly
happy one. The bereaved husband and
father went to Salt Lake on business
trip week ago and is now on his way
home. The three children who were
killed were boy of Is. girl OF and a
girl of 6.

BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 28.-Sterling FL
lott, president of the League of American
Wheelmen, has been asked to resign be-
cause of his sound money views recently
expressed in the L. a. w. Bulletin. The
demand comes from the members of the
Utah Division, L. A. W., the officers of
which have mailed a circular to every
chief consul. secretary and treasurer in the
country, which says:
I'VE earnestly request that you will be
instrumental in getting your division to
take such action as will prevent a possible
disruption of our league by making of 1t a
political organization, with the avowed
intention, as expressed by Sterling FL
liott, OF upholding certain financial
views"
The Utah cyclists have been backed up
by members in Colorado, Minnesota and
other Western States. Mr.. Elliott said:
II presented a single article on one side
of the question. and the columns OF the
Bulletin are free to those who wish to re-
fute it. The question whether that paper
may properly discuss the leading topics
of the dag is hardly debatable, although
do not intend to follow the subject up in
any offensive fashion. OF course / have

Er- Gorernor Waller RotcIed DotUn By
Former Constituents.
NEW LONDON, CONN, Aug. 28.-The
most exciting caucus ever held in this
city was conducted at the courthouse to-
night, where delegates to State, Sena-
torial, Congressional and probate conven-
tions were chosen. 1t was babble of con-
fusion, fierce amin osity being shown from
start to finish. Ex-Governor Waller. who
led the opposition to the silver advocates
of the Democratic party, was Missed down
and literally driven from the building.
He was never so humiliated before on
his own stamping ground, where he had
been the guiding hand of the party for a
generation. He declared the caucus ille-
gally called, illegally held and refused to
abide by its decision.
Waller began the contest at the very
opening Of the meeting, but the caucus
was against him and would not give him
a respectful hearing. Mr.. Waller said suf-
ficient notice of the caucus had not been
given. He was thereupon called "goid
bug, traitor and "rat."
He fought the organizing forces from the
time the meeting was called to order until
after Chairman John c. Geary was in
structed to appoint committee to name
delegates. He was beaten and left the
hall, going outside where he spoke from
a coach bareheaded in the open air to
probably 1000 people. He riddled the sill
yer candidates and platform, censured
those who had howled him down and de-
clared his purpose to take the stump in
his own city and throughout the State

ALTGEtO TO FORMAN,
Declares the Charges to Be Made
Up of False and Sian.
derous Trash.
But the Dictator of the Illinois Silver
Democrats Does Not Go
Into Details.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Aug. 28.-Gover-
nor Altgeld last night gave to the press his
answer to the open letter recently pub
lished by Hon. William S. Forman at
tacking his administration and charging
him with converting State money to his
own use. Among other things he SAYS:
My attention has been called to the fact that
while I was away from home you emerged
from the brush and made some insinuations
against me, and also made an attack upon two
dead men. While your entire article is made
up of malicious, false and slanderous trash
that has been repeatedly published in partisan
newspapers, and while all of it that any liv-
ing man may know anything about has by
them been branded false and malicious and
does not call for any further notice, it is
urged by prominent Democrats that as you
are trying to pose before the people of this
State you should be asked to step out of the
shadow into the sunlight and experience a
new sensation.
Why did you write that letter at this time ?
Everything in it was old and you simply re-
hashed a SANDER. Every insinuation and
allegation you made is false, and if you knew
anything about the facts, then you knew you
were making false insinuations. If you knew
nothing about the facts, that is, simply al
lowed your political disappointments to lead
you into this step, then you did thing that
was eowardly.
The Governor goes on to show that
Forman had been turned down by his
neighbors in town and county conven-
tions and that he was sore against the ad-
ministration because he believed them to
be instrumental in his discontinue. He
closed by saying:
Hyou want to destroy the party which once
honored you would it not be more manly to
get out in front and join the Republicans
rather than to stab ii while protesting to still
love it? You say at the beginning of yorr let
ter that you suppose it makes no difference to
me what you do in the coming election in re-
gard to my candidacy. Here you are mistaken
If cannot look with respect on the commits
sion by virtue of which exercise the functions
of Office, then 1 do not want to hold it, and If I
cannot look honest men in the face then [ do
not want to be Governor of Illinois, and there
fore repeat what have said on number of
previous occasions, that If my election de-
pends on your vote then do not want it.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 2S.-Ex-Con-
gresham William S. Forman was seen in
his Office in East st. Louis to-day ana
asked what he had to say to the reply of
Governor John P. Altgeld to the charges
that he made against him of using State
money without interest. II prefer to
answer them by another letter, which l
will have ready for the press in day or
two. Before I wrote the letter to Gov

charges l made and was anxious for him
