was made to wreck Plant system
passenger train at Aimars Mill where
the negro Small, one of those said to
have taken part in the murder of Cur
tbs, was killed. The switch lock was
broken and crossties were placed on
the track, but the arrival of freight
train ahead of the passenger prevented
the wrecking of the passenger. Three
miles of wire along the line Of the
Plant system have been cut, 1t Is be-
lieved, by negroes. During the night
several negroes were taken from their
houses and severely whipped by
crowds of whites for alleged incen-
diary speeches they had made. This in
censed the negroes very much and was
condemned by the more conservative
whites of that section. About / o'clock
in the morning a small shop occupied
by a negro at Liberty City was found
on fire. A crowd gathered and man
named Gordon threw keg of powder
into the flames. Gordon was seriously
If not fatally burned II was with great
difficulty that surrounding property

spread that the negroes intended to at
tack and fire every house in and
around Liberty City This led the
sheriff to call on the governor for
troops, saying the latter was beyond
his control. Detachments of the two
cavalry troops in Liberty county and
armed citizens are patrolling the

of life The convention should consist
of genuine revolutionists and it will
so consist, unless the people, flattered
by fine words. allow what they have
conquered to be taken away from them.
Nobody should be allowed to enter the
convention who formerly DETAINED the
revolution, unless Cubans wish to out
rage honor and sacred duty.
1.-THE enemy is working hard, but
let Cubans remember that those who
opposed the revolution cannot be ac-
cepted at the last moment. Many rich
and intellectual persons have shown
opposition to the revolution. All these
should be left out. Patriotism has the
right to chose the most worthy-not

die. He was anxious for the end to
come, as he had felt for the last six
months that his life work and career
Of usefulness was over.
John James Ingalls, was born at
Middleton, Mass, Dec. 29, 1888. He
graduated from Williams college in
1856, and two years later was admit
ted to the bar. He then moved to
Kansas.
He was a lawyer and a hater of
slavery In 1859, when he had been in
his new home only year. he was a
delegate to the Wyandotte constitu-
tional convention, and was a leader
among those by whom slavery was ex-
cluded from the territory. He was
secretary of the territorial council in
1860, and when Kansas was admitted
into the Union he was made secretary
of the state senate. From 1863 to 1865
he was in the volunteer service Of the
state, serving as major, lieutenant
colonel and Judge advocate.
In 1878 he was elected to the United
States senate to succeed Senator S. G..
Pomeroy He was reelected to the SEN
ate in January, 1879, after a spirited
contest and was second time re-
elected in 1885, He retired from the
senate, however, at the end of his
third term in 1891, when he was de-
feated by William A. PETER, the Popu-
list, by vote of nearly two to one in
the joint convention of the legislature.
This was the first time in the history
of Kansas that United States senator
had been chosen who owed no allegi-
ance to the Republican party, and was
elected without its aid.
Mr.. ingalls, went to Washington to
take his seat in the senate bitter
partisan, and such he remained to the
end of his 18 years Of service in that
body, as it was probably not in his ma
ture to change. Since Mr.. Ingalls, re-
tirement from the senate his attention
had been devoted chiefly to literary
pursuits, and his name has frequently
appeared in daily and monthly periodi-
Gals as the author of descriptive or
