Two murderers, three petty thieves and the only woman horse thief ev- er convicted in the state were the detail escorted to penitentiary by County Marshal Hugh McGowan a few days ago. The life takers were sentenced for terms of only two years each, while one of the thievs will be compelled to put in ten years for stealing an old silver watch. The woman was Clara Graham, and she will suffer confinement for two years unless the governor exercises his pardoning power in her behalf. Jackson county's contribution to the penitentiary swelled the number of convicts to 1,837, forty of whom were women. Of the majority are colored, and a few of them are de- tained for murder. The prison was established in 1536 with eighteen prisoners, and the advance of years and the increase in crime the num- ber of inmates has swelled io its present propotions, making it the largest number of prisoners confined in any penitentiary in the United States. To properly handle this army of zebra uniformed fellows which includes every calling from ministers of the gospel down to common laborers, actors, doctors, merchants and representatives of the Salvation Army, it tail of guards, clerks and overseers. Owing: to the continual expense of erecting buildings and making im- provements for the safety of the of- fenders; the institution is not nor has it been self sustaining for years as the state gets an average of only 25 cents a day for the labor perform- ed by the convicts. The contract labor system prevails in this ¢tate, and the contractors ‘are the Gesiky Shoe company of Jefferson City, A. Preismer, Jefferson; Jefferson Shoe company, Chicago; Standard, of Cole county this state; J. S. Sullivan Saddle Tree company, Jeffersor, and Jacob Struss, manufacturer of sad- dlery, St. Louis. ea In the shops and throughout the prison disgipline of the strictest kind is maintained, and the men av- erage about eight hours work per day of six working days.

Five immense prisons, with cells four and five floors high, are scat- tered about the large area of ground and while it is found neccessary for want of space to put two, three and four prisoners in a cell, there yet re- mains a scarcity of room and other structures will have to be built. De- spite this crowded condition of af- fairs everywhere about the place is cleanliness, and many of the cells are ted, and walls hung with pic- ‘tures and ornaments, and hundreds of sweet canaries sing the livelong day and to a degree dispel the cheer- Tessness of the gloomy surround. ings. Allthe bread consumed is akes a large de- takes a large de tels of flour is used daily in baking. The beef slaughtering is all done on the grounds, and some days as many as four bullocks meet death to supply the hunger of this mot- ley horde. St. Louis and Kansas City, with the counties in which the two cities are located, furnish the majority of the prisoners, and among them are some of the hardest characters known to criminal history. At times the convicts become mixed in per- sonal quarrels, and on Friday last one Herman Braum, died from injur- Zes from the hands of an infuriat- ed fellow convict by the name of Smith, who will be tried for murder &s soon as his present term has ex- pired. Among those from Kansas City is | | the notorious Jack Keith, who is { doing 22 years for highway rob- | bery. Since he was detected and pun-| The Victim of the Famous Taborville , They Prepare to Run a Seperate State ished for attempting to escape from the prison he has become very do- cile and is trying very hard to rec- oncile himself to his fate. Jack is not the happiest mortal on earth and he'continually insists that heis a much abused man. He the department allotted to the Jef- ferson Shoe company of Chicago, and does his work uucomplainingly. In the same room with Keith is Ed. Gossard, who is there for twen- ty years for killing a man at Tivoli garden in 1878. He is a telegraph operator and does not enjoy the best of health. He looks pale and care- worn, and the chanees of his serving out his full sentence are against him. ? William Graig and Charle Thomas are also well known Kansas City crooks, and were each sentenced to thirty-eight years for higway rob- bery. They are well behaved and perform the services exacted of them with a will. There are many more of less notoriety and of all who attract attention of visitors “Deafy” Smith is most observed. He is enabled to get “soft jobs” as he has but one hand, haying dismembered the right one while serving a term in the Ohio penitentary to escape doing work.—K. C.

Springfield, Mass., June 13.— There isigreat excitemen tin Shel- burne,Falls, one of,the most thriving | towns in Deerfield valley, over the possibility ‘that Sadawaga lake, in Whitingham county, Yt., some dis- tance above may give way and flood the valley, zesulting in a fearful de- struction of life and property. The lake covers 450 acres and is said to contain nearly eight billion gallons of water. The dam is very narrow and about 28 feet high. The water is over a mile in areg and 40 feet in depth.; It ‘has within: Wek past sprung a leak, but has been tempo- rarily patched up. Sadawaga lake it on a side of a mouatain over 900 feet above Shelburne Falls, aad in would experience a second Johns- ttown horror. The Deefield river on which Shelburne Falls is located, is notorious for its turbulence during high water. So great has the ex- citement become all along the river that « thorough investigation was made and the dam will either be 1e- paired or demolished. A New Creed. I move a new creed for all the evangelical churches of Christendom only three articles in this creed and no need of any more. If I had all the consecrated people of all denom- inations of the earth on one great plain, and I had voice loud enough to put it to a vote, that creed would be adopted with a unanimous vote anda thundering aye that would make the earth quake and the heav- ens ring with hosanna. This is the creed I propose for all Christen- dom: Article 1. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begot. ten Son that whosoever believed on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Article 2.—“This is a faithful say- ing and worthy of all acceptance that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—eyen the chief.” Article 3. “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive blessing and riches, and honor, and glory and pewer, world without end. Amen.” But you go to tinkering up your yourself a target for earth and hell to shoot at. Let us have creeds, not fashioned out of human ingenui- ities, but one of scriptural phraseol- ogy, and all the guns of bombard- ment blazing from all the port-holes of infidelity and perditicn will not in a thousand years knock off the Church of God a splinter as big as a cambric needle.—Talmage. works in! | the event of a demolition that twon! EMMA BOND MARRIED. | Incident ot 1882 Secretly Wedded. of a rather romantic nature was de- | veloped here to-day in the life of | Miss Emma Bond, whose terrible suffering at Taborville, Il, in the , summer of 1882 excited general sym- | pathy all over the United States. ! This morning, for the first time, she | was introduced as the wife of C. E. | Justus, of- Hepler, Kas. In 1887 Miss Bond visited friends at Hepler, and while there met Mr. Justus. The stronger than friendship, aud last October they met by agreement in St. Louis and were married in the parsonage of the First Christian church. For reasons best known to them- selves they-decided to keep the mar- riage a secret, and eded in do- ing so until a few day: misplaced letter conveyed tu the wife’s relatives the first informatipn they obtained of the situation. Mr. Justus was then conducting his business, that of a wool merchant: at Hepler, and the wife was at her home in IiJinois. The discovery of the letter was followed by of the truth and an arrangement ta live together. e Sunday Mr. Justus reached Neva- ! da and waited herg. until his wife ar- {rived to-day. They will visit friends of the husband here for a few . days and then go to Hepler to live. Mrs. Justus has -apparenily | recovered from the effects of the brutal treat- ment which she suffered. She has dark hair and blue eyes and is of averaze stature and weight. Mr. J. is 32 years of age. Miss Bund was a teacher in a country school near Hillsboro, IIl., and on June 29, 1882, after school had been dismissed, she swept and dusted the school room, and just as she was leaving someone dropped from the loft, and tying her arms with a shawl, a rope was passed about her body and she was pulled to the loft above, where two other men were concealed. While there she was chloroformed and while un- conscious was assaulted repeatedly. A number of severe wounds were in- flicted upon her person and for some time her life was despaired of. John Montgomery, Lee Pettus, and Eman- uel Clementi were charged with the crime, but owing to a failure to pos- itiyely identify them they were ac- quitted when brought to trial. The most intense excitement prevailed during the time of the trial, and at one time a mob had a rope about the neck of Montgomery, but Miss Bond’s father cut the rope and saved his life.

San Francisco, June 13.—The steamer City of Pekin arrived yester day from Hong Kong, with Chinese news.- The Shanghai Courier of May 10, contains news from a corre- spondent at Chung King that Lu- chow, a city of some importance, was nearly destroyed by fire a month previous. Seven out of eight gates of the city were destroyed, and the loss of life—burned and trampled to death—is estimated at 10,000. The Shanghai Courier says: “In case this startling news is true, it is a remarkable fact that it has not reached Shanghai before now, a8 it is justa month since the fire was reported to have occurred. Still this is not conclusive'proof that a great disaster has not happened, as a month is not too long atime for a letter to reach Chung King. We met a gentleman in Shanghai to-day who was in Hankow and we told him about the fire, mentioning that three- fourths of the people of Iaichow had been destroyed. Deadly Duel With Knives. Augustine, Tex., June 12.—Rube Polk, Jr., and George Audrey, two young men of this city, foughta duel to the death with bowie knives last night for a woman. The men at- tended a party and left apparertly the best of friends. While on the way home they quarreled over one of the girls and dismounted and drawing their knives fought it out on the roadside. Polk was killed in afew minutes. He was stabbed to the heart and his jugular vein was severed. Audrey receiyed a fearful cut in the side and one in the leg ‘and was carried home from the bat- tle ground and told his friends to in- form the sheriff that he was ready to give himself up. “Calico Charley” of the Sioux res- ervation commission and ex-governor of Ohio, is popular with the Indians.
