SEVENTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA. THURS_DAY MORNINd. JUNE —— " NUMBER 5 CRAIG ~ TOLLIVER ~ KILLED. Tragio End of the Bloodiest Mountain Ven- detta Kuown in History. ROWAN COUNTY'S GANG ROUTED, Four of the Kentucky Desperadoes Bite the Dust While Resisting the Sheriffe--A Hard Fought Battle, Dead Kentucky De LouisvitLe, Ky., June22.—In Kentueky's shame, the lawless county of Rowan, was this morning enacted what will, beyond doubt, prove the hinal chapter in the bloodiest mountain vendetta known to the history of the state. ‘The culmination was reached in the tragic end of four desperate men who forfeited their lives whils resisting the man- dates of the law. After tie destruction of: thousands of dollars worth of property, and up to this writing, the loss of twenty-one lives during the two years' continuance of the feud, Rowan county can now return to peace and prosperity. A special to the Cour- rier-Journal from Lexington, Ky., gives the following account of the fight: **“Te news from Rowan county is of the most exciting kind, as it appears to be an indisputable fact that Craig ‘Tolliver is killed and his gang dismembered forever. Sheriff Hogg, presumably acting under instructions from the state authorities, has been tor abouta wuek quietly organizing a very large posse of determined men in the upper part of Rowan county and in adjoining counties for the pur- posc ot arresting Craig T. Olliver, or all the varty who were implicated in the murder of the Logan boys some two weeks ngo. T. Olliver and his party, consisting of about teg men, went heavily armed to meet every eastward bound train at the depot to search for suspicious chazacters and to see that no one got off at Morehead but those whom they desired. Sheriff lHogg equipped his large party with Winchester rifles and ammunition was secretly conveyed to his rendezvous while he was organizing the posse. Lt was finally determined to attempt the arrest of the nssussing Wednesday, June in the day time, to prevent any wowen, children or inoffensive citizens from being killed by accident. Accordingly, at an early hour this morning people living on the line of the railroad within two or three miles of Morehead on each side of town were noti- fied to stop all trains and inform the conductors what was going on in Morehead so that passencers a nd trainmei would not be placed in danger. Sheriff Hogg’s band of resolute men, numbering more than two hundred, appeared suddenly at Morehead about § o'clock this morning. A cordon was lirst established around the entire town in the brush where the men could not be seen. The sheriff then entered town at the head of about 100 well armed men. Craig Tolliver and his ten followers immediately retreated to the Cottago hotel, which they had previously bar- ricaded in such & manner as to make it quite a formidable fortress. Shenft Hogg then notified Tolliver what he bad warrants for the arrest of all the men implicated 1 the killing of tho Lowan boys, and asked tnat they all subiit peace- ably toarrest under the law. ‘Polliver's renly was that neither he zor his men would be ar- rested, and that & hundred men could not take them. 1is party then opened fire upon the sherif’s vosse. Quite a brisk battle of musketry ensued, and the fighting was kept up probably for two hours, The only casualty for a time was a flesh wound received by one of the sheriff’s posse, 'The attacking party, however, were gradually drawing their lines closer around Tolliver's fortitication, and the besioged party, finding things growing 100 warm, finally concluded to make & bold rush for liberty, cut thelr way through the sherif’s lines, and tuketo the aajacent brush, which once reached would afford them secure escape. But as they made the rush they were met by a tremendous volley, which killed Craig Lolliver, Bud ‘Tolliver, Jay ‘Tolliver and Hiram Cooper. The other men of the gang got through safely, but as thoy approached the brush they were met by a volley from the outside cordon. "This voiley wounded Cate Tolliver, a twelye-year old boy, and three others, all of whom were captured except Cate Tolliver. The other three also ped, but one captured afterwards. ‘This brought battle to an end. sperndoes. the Meeting of Army Corps, SARATOGA, N.

A Decision by the Attorney General Rendered Last April. NEwW Yok, June 22.—|Special Telegram to the Bk he Tribune’s Washington special says: here is substantial ground now to assert that before the tempest raised by the publication of the order for the sur- render of the captured rebel flags, the war department, probably with the knowledge,as it already had the consent of the president, began the execution of the order. There is reason to believe thata cood many of the flags captured from Virginia regiments, par- ticvlarly those captured from regiments which belonved to Fritz Hugh Lee’s com- mand, were turned over and taken to Vir- ginia. Assertions to this effoct are so posi- tive and come trom such trustworthy sources that they must be respected. It is diflicult to believe that even under this administration the captured trophies which were the trophies of the United States government have been surrentiously surrendered to representatives of commands or states from which they were captured. 1t turns out on investigation that when application was made in behalf of some of the heirs of the late General Lee for the return of certain articles of personal property belonging to him which are de- posited in the National muscum, the museam authorities brought the matter fo the atten tion of the president, and that after consid- ering it he concluded, on the advica of a member of his cabinet, that thearticles could not be given up to the claimants except by authority of congress. Certain member of the cabinet refarred to above appears, ord- ink to the Sun’s Washington dispatch, to be Attorney General Garland, who, in a letter of April 12, said that while the Lee articles were of little value, the *‘uncertainty as to title would render the ultimate disposition of the property more properly within the range of congressional cognizance than that of the executive. I would, therefore, ect- fully suggest that the status of the property a8 it now exists be maintained, and the ject of fts tinal disposition be 1eft to congress for its tinal consideration.” This letter met and disposed of the very point involved in the controversy over the flags, and this too only a little more than two months before the flag order was issued. How it was possible for any ofticer of the governiment with this option before him to go wrong unwittingly is a great mystery. What is now needed is an explanation that explair Ea e COMMEROCIAL MEN.

Many Little Ones Saluted By Royal- ties in Hyde Park---A Job Lot of Honors Conferred By Her Majesty, A Jubilee in Dublin. (Copright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.} Dunr June 22.—[New York Herald Ca- ble—Special to the Brg.|—The jubilee was best celebrated here by a grand meeting of the National league. Never since has there been such a large attendance, Lord Mayer Sullivan presided. Mr. Harrington, on be- half of Wiljiam O'Brien, apologized for the absence of the latter in consequenge of the fatigue of his journey and medical necessity for rest. He could read the letter of Eugene Kelley to Parnell, dated June 7, enclosing $2,500. Lord Mayor Suilivan’s address was filled with wise suggestions, Among other things he said: “1 suppose we may all regard thisas a jubilee meeting. We are not without getting a jubilee present of the co- ercion bill. We have a very handsome jubilee present to-day from our friends in America, whom most heartily and sincerely we thank. 1had a little invitation to be present elsewhere as lord mayor of Dublin, but I preferred to be where L am, amongst my own people and doing my humble best to stand by them and share whatever trouble, risk or sacrifice might be before us, To-day about the streets of Dublin we see bunting waving in the breeze, but there 1s another flag waving to- day in Ireland, which may not be visible to the naked eye, floating proudly over the Irish people and nation, and that Is the flag of the plan of campaign.” [n London is a display of tireworks, but it seems to me that there is another exhibition of light flame that, if reproduced in that city, would add to the interest of the occasion, and that would be, if in Picadilly eircus a repre- sentation had been got up of the faming cabins of Genbeigh., There are coming also near London the military maneuvres, re- view, sham fight, ete. In like manper it would add much to the scene in London if a representation was got up of the siege of Bodyke. 1 am proud ot the fight that was wade there for the houses aund in self defense. 1 rejoice at the fact that it required the presence of a small army in order to carry out those evictions. I hope for the future in all parts of Ireland where vil- lages or numbers of people are to be evicted that affairs will also be so arranged that the presence of a small army shall be necessar, in order to get these people out of their howes. Gentlemen, 1 am decidedly against & foolish collission with the armed forces of the crown. Lthink it would bea highly im- proper and toolish procedure. But, on the other hand, 1 am in favor of decidedly offer- ing resistance on those occasions and of making these operations so difficult that it will be necessary, in order to preserve the peace, that the British government will be compeiled to goto the trouble and expense of bringing down to those scenes a large force of military. I do not think it would be creditable to our people if, on the raising of the little finger of a bailiff, they were to walk with heads down out of their homes, The time was when that order ot things did exist and when the people, without a show of resistance and nothing but tears in their eyes, walked out of their little cabins at the bidding, almost uncom- plainedly, to drift into the workhouses or by the roadside. However, if the order of things that took place at Bokyke had been acted on in those days, we would have had a very dif- ferenttale to-day in Lreland. There would not have been so many clearances, so many little villages sweot off, and so many fields added to other fields to make huge grazing grounds for cattle and sheep. Ona thing more in order to make my position perfectly clear. Anything in the nature of what is consid- ered an outrage it is our duty as well as inter- est to condemn. Resistance is one thing, even if it was carried to an extreme. Still manly resistance in open day theknglish and Irish people understand. But what neither English nor right minded Irish people can understand is mean and cowardiy midnight outrage.” ‘The applause here was viv id. the lord mayor continued: “We face the future with a brave, stout heart. Wetell the government to do their best with their new coercion act. If they en- deavor to suppress the National league, we know the history of the country. Such pro- ceedings will never be achieved. The object of the coercion billis to put down free speech, free writing and combination amongst the tenants against rack renting and oppression, but I say we areresolved to do our best to in- sure that all these things shall, aye shall, go on in Ireland despite the coer- cion act; and if all other organizations are to be persecuted and suppressed, there is one great nization which will be ready to take their place, and that is the organiza- tion of the Irish parliamentary party. Let us see how the British government proposes to deal with such an organization.. On jubi- lee day, at this crisis and this moment, we pledge ourselves anew to the Irish national cause, and declare our readiness and deter- mination to stand by that cause, despite whatever this tyrannical tory government may have in store for us,” When Sullivan, without passion but with his face as pale, doubtless, as once was that of Henry, or Otis, or Samuel Adams, in 1776 1n America, pronouncea this epilogue, while many applauded, the faces of most present who remained silent became studies in the resolution that flashed from eye or were un- mistakably manitested by nervous folding up of hands and arms. His speech would be & good piece for the Iriah boys to speak atschool. Then a stillness for an instant pussed over the asseiublage of 200 delegates, until Diilon, pale, but cool, arose, He gave a succinct sketeh of the workings of the plan of campaien; how you prevent land- lords reoccupying their expenses and costs in evictions, as used tobe the case, and how it secured to the evictors support without public eharity or absolute penury,as formerly was the case; how the plan was practically evicting the landlords ot the enjoyment of their land. His entire speech would fill nearly a page. Next Hartington sala: “I am asked from America and everywhere, what are we going to do against this coercion bill. There is a general lmprassion that we ought to issue a wanifesto to the Irish people directing them how they should meet the bill. I wish to point out to friends that we are perfectly prepared to meet the act inch by inch, but that [here he spoke with marked delibera- tion] we do not by any means consider it the wisest course that early in the struggle we should tell our opponents how it is. We are going to tight it. Some think it would be a wise issue to call the Irish people to glve no evidence at any seeret Inquiries uader the &k X-0W way depend Resuming, uwp-o-n it there ks n-o fs-s-ui-n-g a-ny su-o-h a-d-vei-c-e. ‘The applause and shouts that greeted these words of import can be better imagined than described, Then, with cheers tor Gladstone, O’Brien, Parnell and Eugene Kely, the league adjourned. These utterances deserve marked attention because it is weil understood that Messrs. Sullivan, Dillon and Harrington, although speaking for themselves, spoke what the caucus of Irish members of patliament had considered and agreed upon with the appro- bation of the Gladstonians in parliament, JUBILEE ECHOES Children Enjoy a Fete in Hyde Park Honors Conferred. Loxpox, June At the children’s fete in honor of the queen to-day at Hyde Park, 8,000 little ones were present. Arrayed on the great lawn they made a pretty picture. The Prince and Princess of Wales and sons and daughters, accompanied by a number of royal guests, visited the park during the fete. The children at once freed themselves from restraiot, broke the rope barriers, rushed pell mell toward the visitors and packed themselves in solid groups around them. All etiquette vanished. The princes and princesses, wno seemed delizhted at their position, mixed among the children with perfect freedom and pleasure. The queen soon arrived. The children massed themselves in an orderly manner on both sides of the road over which her majesty’s carriage passed and moved with it toward the stand, the assembled bands playing the national anthem, which the children sang with grand effect, The queen reached and ascended the platform while the music was proceeding. At its conclusion she presented & memorial cup to a little girl, who had been selected to represent all the children assem- bled. When the queen departed the whole assembly sang “Rule Brittania.” Mrs. Glad- stone, Lord Derby and Lord Spencer were present. A number of aristocrats lent as- sistance, making the fete a success. . Among the peers to be created are Sir John Staubyn, liberal unionist member of parlia- ment; Henry Willlism Eaton, conservative member; the Earl of Strathmore, Scotch rep- resentative, Peer and Viscount Gallaway, Irish peer, will be made peers of the United Kingdom. ~Baroneteies will be conferred upon thirteen persons, including Sir Alger- non Borthwick, editor of the London Morn- ing Post. Thirty-three persons will be made knights, Including Mr. Long, editor of the Sheftield Telegraph. The crown prince of Austria will be made extra knight of the Garter, and Grand Duke Sergins of Russia, d Duke of Hesse, Grand Duke of Saxe- Meininger, Prince Eaward of Suxe-Weimar, Pince Vietor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, and Prince Louis of Battenberg will be decorated with the erand cross of the order of Bath. A long list of minor decorations will also be conferred. 'The Pall Mall Gazette comments very sarcastically upon the listas a *job lot,” and calls it Salisbury’s shabby list. “Among other things it ask ‘“Where is the peerage was to shed a halo of royal favor over that sole pillar of an imperilled state, identi- tied with arnellism and crime?"” Among the presents received by the queen was one of £75,000 subseribed by 3,000,000 women. Her majesty accepted this and gra- i v thanked the donors. The queen left ingham palace this afternoon and went to Windsor castle this evening. n-eed of The Crimes Bill.

LoNpoyN, June 2,—[New York Herald Cavle—Special to, the BEE.)—The Crimes bill, of which the very first official proof reached you last Sunday morning, made its parliamentary appearance only to-day. Many tories fear, and all home-rulers expect. the bill will really be for Ireland what the famous tea taxation bill did for the New England colonies previous to the declaration of merican independence. A popular edition of this crimes bill is being prepared for circulation. It will show, line by line, the purport, severity and unconstitution- ality of the measure, and will comment on its violation of British traditions and its opportunities of proyisions for working op- pression, Hauled Down the Green.

Lang, Shafier and Rowe then re- tired in order. In the second, Krehmeyer tobk his seat on a fly to Herr, Rourke got his base on a fum- ble, second on an overthrow but was lett, Bartson striking out and Bader perishing on a fly to second. ~ For the Lincolns old man Dolan smacked the globe for three bags, and ran home after Herr's long tly was exquisitely caught by Genins after a long and hard run. Toohey got tirst on a second frighttul muff by Dwyer, but was killed endeavoring to steal the nett bag, Hart then struck a high foul which Dwyer took in magnificent shape running at the top ot his speed with his back to the audience. ‘The Omahas broke the ice in the following inning. Genins hitsate to left,but was caught at second; Healy fanned out, and then Switt made a two-bagger, and came home on a wild throw by Lang of Walsh's hit. In the fowrth they retired in order, but in the fifth and sixth each added another tally to their slim total. Atter this they failed to score, so clean and faultless was “the l\eldln{ of the Lincolus, and 8o uflecfln?. ‘pitching of Hart. In the fourth tTer hit safe, and Rowe went to first on a fumble of his hit by short, Shaetfer going to second, Dolan drove both in by a two sacker. ‘Foohey struck out, Herr retired at first, but Dolan reached third. He was caught napping here, however, by Krehmeyer and run” down. They scored again in the fifth, and in the sixth piled up no less than six runs in this way. Shaeffer made first on a fumble of Rourke’s fouled out, but Dolan hit safe to center, and Shaeffer took second. Toohey’s long hit to Bartson was then miserably muffed and more bly thrown in, the four pairs ot white 8 ings coming in on the two errors, Toohcy making the complete circuit. Hart then got to first on a i, stole second, and scored on Hall’s safe hit and Hall on Buck- ley’s. Lang flew out to first.

J. J. Conroy, the ens gineerof the B. & M, yard engine, was ar- rested and held in the custody of the officors toanswer to causing the death of Byron through negleet on his part and open viola- tion of the rules laid down for his govern- ment in operating his cugine, The coroner’s investigation, commenced last nizht,was not concluded until noon to-day, when a verdict was reached. The testimony taken was vol- wminous and exhaustive, u large crowd being in attendaucs during the inquest, and some lifteen witnesses being rixidly questioned as to the aceidont, TRets were that the B. & M. yard engine eoming from West Lincoln 10 thé eity at G50 p. m. neglected to whistle and stop atthe point where the Union Pas cific track crosses the B. & M, track, and from this negiect the B, & M. engine erashed into a wovin freight on the Union Pacitic, Killing Byron, who was riding on the foot board ot the water tank of the B, & M. yard engiue.

Conroy, the engineer on the B. & M. yard engine, ad: mitted his neglect of blowing the whistie and coming {o aTull stop before this crossing. He testitied that it was the fireman's duty to keep watch at that point, and, depending on him, e did ot discover the moving Union Paciiie freight until close at hand. o re versed his engine. but as it was not working well, he could not control it i time to prevent the accidents. A number of wit= nesses contivmed the question of neglect in observing the rules at the crossing, and tho rules were tully explalned to the jury. The specd at whicli the switch enzine was run- ning was testined to with a good deal of dis- erepency, the rules allowing only a speed of six miles an hour,but the preponderance of testimony was that the speed was at least that rate when the engines approached ench othier.
