A QUEER CASE.
A Man Named Kinds Sues the Prince
of Wales for 100000, But Gets
His Case Thrown Out of Court.

London, November 4.-There was an
extraordinary case heard before the
Lord Mayors court to-day, when a man
named Kinds sued the Prince of Wales
to recover 10000 pounds $500, 000) al
legged to have been wrongfully paid him
by the late Under Sheriff Croll, who was
the liquidator of the United Kingdom
Electric Telegraph Company. The pain
tiff declares the money belonged to a
certain Mr.. Aler, Of whose estate he
was the assignee. Kinds father claim
ed the sum of 10000 pounds (s750,000)
from Lord Suffolk, alleging that the
latter had suborned Croll to commit
perjury before Lord Bramwell at the
trial in 1877, in connection with the liq
uidation.
Sir George Lewis, In behalf Of the
Prince Of Wales and the Earl Of Suf-
folk, asked that the proceedings be
quashed on the ground that the allega-
tons were nothing more than a frivo-
lous and vexatious tissue of nonsense,
and he submitted an affidavit to that
effect
The plaintiff then addressed the court,
declaring that he had been told that the
Prince of Wales received the money re-
ferred to and then proceeded to charge
Lord Bramwell with defrauding Aliens
widow out Of $780, 600 pounds in order to
obtain promotion and a peerage.
The plaintiff was here stopped by the
court with the warning to speak re-
spectfully Of judges. Finally the court
stopped the case and dismissed the ac-
ton, which was described as being ian
abuse of the process of the court

Parkersburg, w. Va. November A.
More details of the awful murder OF
Mrs. Edward Green and her daughter
and son, near Ripley, Jackson county,
Tuesday night, were received here to-
day.
Morgan is under heavy guard at the
JAIL A scheme was on foot to bring
him overland to this place, but mob
gathered to lynch him last night.
After a lengthy speech by Judge Biz
zard, the mob decided to let the law
take it's course. The plan for removal
was given up by Sheriff Shinn.
The mob numbered over 500 and
were very determined. Judge Biz
Yard, however, in a cool and deter
mined manner, advised them to dis
perse and go to their homes. He said
the grand jury was now in session,
that Morgan would be given hearing
and indicted, and if the facts as stated
were borne out at the trial and he
was found guilty, he would be hung
inside of thirty days. This seemed to
satisfy the crowd which, although
large, was very orderly.
Morgan is much concerned about his
peTllOuS pOSlllOu anu IouldluS CiOSS W
his guards.
The feeling of the people is indie
scribable. as the murdered victims
were held in the highest esteem by
all The fact that the brute had been
raised by the family and educated from
boyhood, only kindles the feeling of
revenge against him. A Telegram was
received here to-day, stating that the
sheriff and a posse of deputies were
coming overland with Morgan, but it
is thought this is a mistake. The
message stated that it was feared that
the mob would again organize and
carry out their plans, as they become
more bitter against Morgan as the
crime becomes more generally known.
The grand jury found an indictment
against Morgan to-day, and he was
brought into court and plead not guilty.
Judge Blizzard assigned him as counsel
D. A. Brown, and a trial jury was en-
panelled and court was then adjourned
until tomorrow at 10 o'clock, when the
trial will begin.
The court house was crowded with
citizens and the murderer trembled with
a fear all during the proceedings. The
funeral of the three victims of the affair
occurred this afternoon at 3 O'Clock.
They were all buried in one grave.
The injured girl, Alice, is still alive.
Her statement was taken to-day, and she
may recover but the chances are very
small, as her skull is crushed.
1t has since been learned that Morgan
killed the mother and daughter with
Ratchet and the son with mattock. He
claims he did the killing in self-defense,
but when arrested confessed the crime. He
is married and resides near the Green
farm.

Parkersburg, w. Va, November A.
The Ohio River railroad management
are busy on new time card. 1t will
contain number of radical changes.
General Manager Burt and Passen-
ger Agent Archer are in Louisville
comforting with the C. & O.
The road has parlor car going
through to Pittsburg twice day, on
trains Nos and 10. The car on No.
2 comes from Huntington. By an ar
rangement now being perfected, in
stead of the parlor cars alone going
through to Pittsburg, the entire train
will be run through.
Another important change which
will be made will be in the time of
running through train No. 4. On the
new schedule it will arrive here about
$40 D. m, which will enable it to
make a connection with the c. G. O..
from Cincinnati The stops along the
line will be lessened also, making it
a train of the same class as No. l.
The matter of running through
night train with sleeper, ETC., between
Pittsburg and Louisville, which has
been under advisement for some time,
will hardly be arranged for at present.

New York, November A dis
patch to the Herald from Havana SAYS:
The rebels in the field are very active.
On October 80, the Spaniards sustain
ed the most severe loss they have met
for some time. On the borders of Ma
tanzas province, Cen Moline was de-
feated by the insurgents under Gen.
Betancourt. Gen. Moline was on his
way to Havana, accompanied by half
a brigade of troops, to participate in
Gen. Blanco's reception. At Agucate
he heard the rebels were encamped in
the Purgatorio hills, and broke HIS
march to attack them. The fight was
a long one and the Spanish loss was
tremendous. He was finally obliged
to retreat.
A report, apparently we'll founded,
is current in Havana to the effect that
Holguin has been attacked and cap
tured by the rebels under Gen. Cebre-
co. That it has been attacked and rs
Spaniards killed is admitted, but tho
capture is denied.
Gen. Luque, with heavy reinforce
ments, left Havana yesterday for hol-
gum.
In book on the Cuban war just
published here, Gen. Weyler writes the
Introduction. In one place he says:
The system of warfare carried on by
me during this campaign is not new
one. 1t is the same as pursued by
the Americans of the North when they
