Euzahbthtown, 111., November 25.—The
Hardin county vendetta, which threitensd
to depopulate two counties a few months
ago, has broken ont again and two more
desperate members have been rushed hence
without having an opportunity to remove
their boots. The cemetery record shows a
total of thirteen killed, five of whom hive
taken their departure this year. Tea yea; s
ago Logan Bell, a desperate charac er, shot
and killed Doc Oldham at a dance in the
Oldham homestead. Both men were among
the most prominent in the country and ex-
citement reached a high pitch. The com.
mutiily took sides and when Wash Covert,
witness for the prosecution, was laid low
with a charge of buckshot trouble bagan.
Luf e HnrnbrinV, wiio was connected with
ite Olcham faciion, was assassinated on

Captain Lcgan Bell's death his brother, Jiai
Bell, was ehct and killed at the sarae spot
at Cavp-in Rock. These assassinations
produced great consternation, and friends
of the Bell faction, among whom was Esri
Hherwocd end others, received orders
to emigrate, and they moved into an
adjeintrg ccunty. Then Judge Hass of the
circuit court, who presided at Ball's trial,
was threatened with death If ho did not
leave. He armed himeelf and is still here.
LaEt Tuesday night a dines was given at a
farmhouse near Battery Rook. Amone

OSITUASY.
rev, t, B, webster,
i'eAiisall, Tex., November 25.—At 7 a,
m. on Monday, the 21st instant, a very
sad event occurred: Kev. T. B. Web
ster, pastor of Pearsall Baptist church, was
called away to eternal rest. For years his
health had been very poor, owing to chronic
lurg disease; bnt yet of late he did not
if em specially worse and no one expected
the erd to come so soon. The aga ot de-
feased was 28; he was a native of Texas
.-il.ft a married man, and much genuine
sympathy is felt and expressed for his
eriii-ctricken widow. The oonoourso of
Mourners at the funerai was unusually
targe, and the following clergymen as
i . isted at tbe service: Rev. J. A. Hackett of
Han Antonio, Kev. T. A.Moore of Laredo,
Rev. C. B. Hnkill of Device and Rev. W. S.
Wright cf I'earsall. When Mr. Webster
first came here there was strife and di-
vision in the Baptist church, but his pru-
dence and tact and christian love have ia
eighteen months effected a marvelous
change, and now ho leaves It a strong and
united power for good. Deceased was held
in love and esteem by all who knew hlai,
and the Baptists here are about to erect a
hendsome tablet to his memory, and it is
no posthumous flattery to say that his
death has created a void that will be very
hard indeed to fill.

Leamiington, Ont., November 25.—Mate
Murphy of the schooner White Star, ashore
on point Peiee, tells the following graphic
story of the disaster: "There was a fear-
ful sea on Wednesday night, and with it
was a thick fog that made it impossible to
see the light. At 0 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing I thought that we were near tha Dammy
light off point Pelee, but it was black as
ink outside and wo could not locate our-
selves. Suddenly there was a crash and
the vessel went on her head. First she
keeled ever and around and big seas
made a sweep of her decks. It v?as
a rocky bottom, which ground right
through Eher and she was filling in a few
moments after she struck. There was ono
juwlbout aboard, and we managed to get
this to the boat's side. Thore were seven of
tis, and the little yawl would hold bat live.
T ?ro had to stay cn board. My brother, the
captain, chose to stay on board, and with
himst.yed ore of the sailors. We got the
boat d ;ivn to ihe water, but the waves beat
it agair.st the t ides of the vessel and t'area'-
eneu to stave in the yawl. As the fifth man
slid down tho line the yawl capsized and
we were thrown into the water. Sr.neof
the boys got on top of tha upturned yawl
end tho others cauRht drift. We knocked
around until daylight and ware finally
beached, ail c,f usi alive. The vessel could
be seen about fifty rods oat laautag over

brother Rid the sailor up in the rig^lag
waving (heir hsnds and shouting for uelp.
Abont thirty men had collected on shore,
hut they could givo us no assistance, as
they v, ere without boats or tackle." Murphy
says the msn will freeze to death If boats
a'.enotee.-t to them at once. About the
last hope went out this morning, when a
telegram was received from Sandusky,
from which point a lifeboat was expected.
It said: "Csii't send boat as the fog is too

FOWDERLY S FIRM DECISION,
General Fore man Grllllth Hhs a Few Words
to Bay Concerning the Letter—Viewi
His Retirement with Apprehension.
Chicago, II!., November 25,—"I believe
the general master workman has folly and
finally made tip his mind to retire," said
(Jeneral Worthy Foreman Richard Griffith
to-day, referring to Mr. Powderly's letter
reaffirming his determination to deedine a
re-election to the presidency of the Knights
of Labor. Mr. Griffith ranks next to Mr.
Powderly in the order, and would become
its chief officer in case Mr. Powderly should
die or resign before the expiration
of his term. "I look forward to his
retirement with grave apprehension,"
he continued. "He has devoted the best
years of his life to a self sacrificing and
earnest endeavor to better the condition of
the laboring people. Looking back upon
the condition of the wagework^r of the
country a few years ago I see wonderful
improvements have been made in their edu-
cation, They have acquired and aro ac
qnirisg a better knowledge of Industrial af-
fairs, political economy and general in-
formation. This is largely the result
of Mr. Povsderly's polioy. The aa
archistic element iris assaulted Powdorly
in every possible way, but the conservative
element ia in such an overwhelming ma-
jority that the discordant faction can havu
no possible influence upon the order. Of
course ihis element will endeavor to get
some one in sympathy with them into tno
master workman's chair, but thay can never
succeed in doing that. Tha good sense of a
nation will always prevail m the end, and
the> goc.d Bense of the half million Knights
ot Labor will make itself felt."
Has ewyone been mentioned as Mr.
Powderiy's successori"
No; the Urea is too far off for that.
Everything in tbe order is serene and quiet
now and its affairs are in excellent, shape.
Mr. Powderly hat" about caught up with the
wo:k he had to negleejt while attending the
session at Minneapolis. He will not abate
a particle ot bis interest daring tho coming
year, and (he events of tbe times will prob
ably bring .; ome one into prominence as his
UWMK."

A FATHER'S NEGLECT.
A Daughter Dies In an Unfurnished and On-
cheerful Hems from Cold, Neglect,
Hunger and Thirst.
Paris. Tex., November 25.—A terrible
tale of destitntlon, snffering and death
comes from Arthur City, a small town on
Red river, sixteen miles north of here. A
few weeks ago a man, whose name is with-
held, moved there from Hopkia3 county,
with his wife and four children, the oldest
fceing 13 years ot age, and the young-
est an infant. After th3y had been there a
week or two the wife went away,
taking the baby with her. The
eldest child being a gitl undertook the
management of the household, doing the
cooking Vfhen her father furnished her any-
thing to cook. He spent his time in flatiing
find loafing about the saloon. Boon aft8r
her mother ran away tho little girl took
sick, and rot nnlil bsyond all earthly aid
did t.:o neighbors know of her condition.
She died on Tuesday night, oa a bsdmtde
of rags in a comer of a room, without a
light or lire, and the cold wind whistling
through the paneiess windows, with no one
present but her two little sisters—ana II
and the? other !> years of age.
Her father whs out in town at the saloon.
In response to inquiries as to the cliild'a
condition ho said she was setting along
very well. Young as ihe child was, her
features, pinched by hunger and suffering,
looked lite those of an old woman of 70,
When it became known that thechtld was
sick a man offered htm a mattress and bed-
stead for a coopla of hound puppies, but
the man thought more of his dogs than he
did of his child, and refased the offer.
A collection was taken up among the
neighbors and onousth money was raised to
give the child a decent burial.
People here and at Arthur are indignant
over the conduct of the unnatural father.
Last night a negro named Georga Adams
went into a second hand store and bought
clothing and other articles to the amount
of $50, and also a valise to put the goods
in. After placing them in the grip ho called
for a brush, and while the proprietor went
to the rear of the house to get it the negro
pici'ed up his traps and skipped without
osytoK bin bill, and up to this rime has not
teen heard from.
A ooiiuifBESHAN WROTwrfiaxA.8
Has His Congressional Career Vary Nearly
Nipped in the Bud',by "Blowing Out ths
Gas" in a Washington Hotel. .
Washington, November 25.—The con-
gressional career of the Hon. Wm. H. Mar-
tin of Texas nearly came to an inglorious
and' ragio end night beforo last. He arrived
In the city Tuesday, inscribed his name on
tho Willard register, and was assigned a
room commensurate with his official dig-
nity. Late in the evening he turned himself
over to a barber and experienced
a hair cut. After sacrificing his sara-
sonian locks ho further submitted to
the demands of the new social lite
into the vortex of which he had so suddenly
plunged by discarding his Texas flannel
ahii t and donning a broad expanse of linen
and a standing collar. Then submitting to
(lie formality of a shine, he retired to nls
room with the evident consciousness of a
man who felt thitt he had discharged tits
i'nll duty toward tee now civilization, and
was prepared for any emergencies which
might arif-H. Along about midnight the
balls of the hotel became stifling with odor
of escaping gas. Mr. Dewitt, one of the
attaches of the house, npon making the dis-
covery, at once surmised that somebodjr
had "blown out the gas." He began a hurried
search and finally located the odor at the
door of the Texas congressman. To his
rspping atf * door there was no rasponso.
Summoning a porter he burst opan the door
and found the room filled with gas, tha jet
tnrned on and tne Loue Star statesman
Ijing in bed unconscious. Aid was sum-
moned, and after «■ long course of treat-
ment the Texas congressman was saved to
hia constituency. He explained that not
knowing how the "darned thing worked he
had blown out the gas."
