Maupin Shot to Pleces, Hasserr, Neb., July 14.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bree.|—Maupin, the squaw man and desperado, who was wanted for horso stealing and other crimes commilted in this vicinity during the st few years, was arrested in Springview by a sheriff’s posse last night and placed 1 jall. The news of his arrest soon spread, and about 12 o’clock a mob of several hundred vigilantes surrounded the jail and demanded the prisoner. Upon bemng refused admit- tance, tho mob immediately wade prepara- tions for a charge. Battering rams were se- cenred and it was but the work of a few min- utes for the vigilantes to effect an entrance. The sheriff and his assmtants attemnted to force back the mob, but resistance was use- and they were soon overpowered und ‘bound. Quickly securing the keys, they proceeded to Maupin’s cell and threw open the door. By the light of corn cobs saturated with coal ofl Maupin was seen cowering and trembling with fear in the furthermost corner. He made no resistance, but begged viteously for his life. His appeals for mercy were in vain, theonly unswer he received being a shot from a revolver in the hands of one of the wvigilantes. This was the signal for a per- fect torrent of bullets, and when the sickly light of the improvised torches merced the gloom of the smoko filled cell Maupin’s body was seen lying at full length on the fioor, * literally riddled with bullets, Thirteen shots had taken effect, ar.d death was instan taneons. Many of the buliets had passed clear through his body. After accomplish- ing their bloody avork the mob quickiy dis- persed. It had been tho intention of the vigilantes to hang the desperado, but the impetuosity of one of their number in firing u shot in the cell seemed to intensify the thirst of the mob for blood, and the original vlan wus abandoned for one more expeditious and attended with less danger of interrupuion. A Cold-Blooded Murder at Aurora. Avroma, Neb, July 14.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Hes.|—One of the most atrocious and cold-blooded murders ever committed was enacted ten miles southeast of here last evening, botween 8 and 9 o'clock.

David Beats brought the ntelli- gence here this morning and Coroner Eller- ton, Deputy Sheriff Bichelberger, Constablo Gebhart and your correspondent went to the scono of the accident. Upon arriving at Mr. Barrett's residence . there was found # large crowd of indignant eitizens, who had a rope up to the top ot the mill for the purpose of hanging Thorshill. Coroner Ellerton protected the prisoner and avoided a lynching. 11 County Attorney Smith took evidence and i sory returned o verditt that William Bicepty came to his death from a gun shot (| fred'by Henry Thornbill with folonous in- et Barrott was in Aurora yesterday, and on prriving home last evening called his wife f$ut of bed and began abusing her. Thorn- {71l came alongand, seeing this, went to o feighbor’s, ‘Thomas Cross, and borrowed a JyFun, saying he wanted to kill a dog. After 1o received the gun he told Cross it was a two-logged dog.

LeapviLL, Col, July 14.—[Special Tele- gram to Tre Bree.]—About1o'clock this morning flames were noticed coming from a row of buildings located near the Midland freight depot, The building was occupied by an Italian fruit dealer commonly known us “Italy Joe.” In oneof the roomsof his resicence he some time ago placed un image as near like the divin- ity us it was supposed he could procure. This he has worshiped with the zoal und belief the true Christian puts in his inyisible deity. Three candles surrounded thé image, and were kept constantly lighted both day and night. Yesterday afternoon he left the'house, having loft his threo candles lit in front of the idol, and it is supposed he had not returned home. But, upon investi- gation, his body was found in the rear room of the cottage which was separated from the front room by a thin partition. A bed was pushed against the partition in the rear room of the cottage, and beside the bed on the fioor the body of the man was found. He was lying on his back, his arms stretched above his head, and his fingers clinched to tho palm of his hand, @s if he had died in an agony both lingering and terrible. “I'here wore but two teeth in his head, his face being burned into an unrecognizable mass, the hair being completely burned from his head. The sight was sickening. It 18 supposed that ono of the candles set fire to the thin par- tition, and, the old man having fallen asleep, was burned to death, The wife and children of another party who roomed next to Joe, Lad @ narrow escape from death, two of the children being carried from the flames in an unconscious condition, — A Worthless Ordinance, Kaxsas City, Mo, July 14.—Last Friday the city attorney rendered an opinion that the city ordinance prohibiting the keeping open of saloons was ineffective, as it did not prevent saloons from receiving customers through side or alley doors.

AN ENEMY CREEPS INTO CAMP. — Seeing No Hope of Bourbon Sugoess the Railronds Brazenly Obtrude Themselves Among the Re- publican Hosts. An lsidious Foe. Drs Morxts, In., July 14.—[Special to Trr Bre.]—The political outlook in Iowa from a democratic standpoint is anything but reas- suring. That party, in olose combination with the railroads, made a supreme effort for supremacy last year, and their signal failure to reduce or rather prevent the piling up of heavy republican majorities in most unexpected places has disheartened the poll- ticians and spread general 'demoralization through the rank and file, The democratic leaders last year were well supplicd with the “sinews of war,” contributed largely by officenolders and by corporate interests, but the succession of President. Harrison has thoroughly frightened the few Towa demo- crats who stil hold oftice, and it is not lkely that they will respond with any great degree of enthusiasm when the hat is passed again forcontributions for the campaign. But what will the cor- porations do? It is an open_seeret that the railroads would be willing to *pour out money like water” to secure. the repeal the present railroad law, but being saga- clous business men, the managers do not care to pour it into a “'rat hole” for the ben- efit of political strikers ‘only, and . without some probability of gecuring the desired results. It looks now as if the democrats and corporation interests would part com- pany in this campaign. The railroads have moved over into the re- publican camp, bag and baggage, and are in- dustriously at work striving to control the primaries. Local papers have been subsi- aized wherever possible, and an earnest and determinea effort is being made to read the radical anti-monopolists out of the party, or at least to relegate them to the rear. From the tone of certain papers itis evident that a “literary bureau” is at wurk and articles are going the rounds complalning of the “‘radical and vicious logislation’ of the past two years, and referring in ‘no compliment- ary “terms to the trusted . snti-monopoly leaders, To capture the,republican state convention and a majority (of, tho house of reresentatives is the goal,t which all cor- poration influence is now tending. The sen- ate is a “weather vane,"” undshould the rail- roads succeed in capturing. the house, u ma- jority of the august. senatgrs; will svddenly develop very conservative views toward “ivested interests” and quickdy agree to the emasculation of the present railroad law. The nominations for représentatives have been held in very few counties so far and in those the anti-monopolists have had things all_their own way. Lucgs €ounty re-nom- inated Hon. C. H. Byars, - staunch anti- monopolist, without oppositipn, and Marshall county will send back hep faithful represen- tative, Hon, ©Charles., ' Eekles,_ with an increased majority,, The uttér rout of 'the railrdad forces in . Guthrie county, where “theyt bud support, of strong party organsythe railroad vole of Stuart, » division sfation on the Rook Island, and the prestigaiof'an able and pop- ular candidate, indicates that western fowa in the coming legistature will stand as a unit by Iowa interests. Cass county has also sounded the key note of the campaign by tho renomination for the third time to the lower house of Hon, Silas Wilson, the able chair- man of the railrond committee in the last house. Adair will follow by the renomina- tion of Hon. A. D, Crooks, and Colonel A. J, Chantty is morally certain to be returned from Mills. - The eastern part of the state is the main reliance of the corporations, and it will be worked for all there is in it, and as the anti- monopoly sentiment in that section is not fully developed, some faithful members will vrobably go down st the primaries before the well organized and desperate opposition. Thero is a disposition wwong the simon pure anti-monopoly democrats to assert themselves in this campaign and once more assume control of the party, dictate its policy and nominate its candidates. Just now this element has its eyes upon Hon, W. H. Mc- Henry, of this city, and certain influences are industriously ot wotk to bring out the +0ld Roman’ and make the fight under his leadership. It cannot be {denied that Judge McHenry would make a $trong canvass. He 18an old settler und is Jmmensely popular with the masses, Several years ago he over- came an udverso majomity of about four thousand for district jddge, carrying this district, Polk, his home edunty, by somo fifty votes, ~ overcoming ¢ regulur party majority of some fifteenl hundred. Judge Morienry is @ Jackpon democrat of the old stamp, ang would stand no - foolishness on the 'railroad question. His_anti-monopoly prindiples are *bred in the bone,” and under no circumstances would he consent to become a cat's-paw to a rail- rcad combine. Should the railroads succead in capturing the_republican state convention and foist a candidate upon the party who is in any way objectionable to the anti-monopo- lists Judge McHenry would run exceedingly well, and come dangerously near being clected. Judge McHenry is a total abstainer and was an_enthusiastic supporter of the prohibition amendment, and for this reason would be weak 1 the ‘river counties,” but he would likely have no objection to running upon a local option platform, with a mini- mum licenso of $500. Tais is the kind of a platform the democracy will quite likely adopt, no matter who muy be the nominee. The policy democrats, who hope to_effect some understanding witli the railroads, are industriously grooming ton Hall, of Bur- lington, for the gubernakorial race. Mr. Hall is & brilliant lawyer ane a capable politician of “the corporation #ohodk, UL he has o ele- ments of strength with thefarming and la- boring interests, aud cofd snot euthuse the masses.

CHEYENNE AGE Dak. (via Pierro Dak.) July 14.—|Special Telegram to Tiw BEe.]—The commission came over to this agency from Pierre this morning, arriving here about 10 o'clock. The Indians, being nearly all in from the cawps, were con- gregated in the annuity building, where they were addressed by Major Warner in a long specch, in which he fully explained the salient features of the bill, showing where its provisions affected this particular agency and reservation. The allotment features were dwelt upon largely. The splondid op- portunity offered tne Indian to engage in farming was iliustrated 1 the amount of stock, the number of implements the coutinued fssuo. of ra- tions until they became self-supporting. The major 15 one of the finished orators of the land, and is getting able to address any Todian audience with the same felicity with which he talks to white men. This council was merely preliminary, held, as at all the agencies, for introduction purposes and to give some impetus to the native clement to discuss the bill as imd down by the ex- pounder of the commission. Careful iquiry here among the Indians and half-breeds verifics the predictions made in these dispatcties that there will be much pitter opposition here. There are here on this agency three farming districts, located on the Missour), the Chevenne and the Bad rivers, Oue of these districts is favorable, the otheg two are in opposition just now.

THE FRENCH PARLIAMENT, The Present Stormy Session Will Be Prolonged n Few Days Longor. [Copyright 1980 by James Gordon Bennett.] Pans, July 14,—|New York Herald Cable pecial to Tiw Bre.]—It was hoved that Saturday would sec the close of the parlia- mentary session. [t was not 8o, however, for the chambor of deputies thought fit to prolong existence a few days longer. The last momeuts have been markod by incidenta which will but slightly add to the glory it hxs achievod. On Friday fistoufts were exchanged with remarkable deliberation, und the president of the coun- el explained that oficials of the republic in the east could reccivo presents groat or small withott compromising the charac ter or dignity of their ofice. On Saturda M. Herisse, & Boulaugist deputy, was ex pelled. If the session continues many days longer 1t will be impossible to forotell what may happen. Amid all this confusion, how- ever, the chamber passed one law which is really important—the bill relative to plural candidacies. According to thoe roading of this bill no one person is allowed to offer himself as a candidate in more than one elec- toral district, and every candidate is roquired to name the place for w he stands before the date is fixed for election. In the even, of more than ono declaration of this kind being made, the first only can be taken account of and if all the declarations are drawn up on the same date, none are vahd., The bills posted by any candidate who has disregarded these conditions may be torn down with fm- punity, and furthermore, o heavy fine may be inflicted on those who have either signed or cansed the notices to be posted, and also zainst those who have assisted in distribut- g tickets. Lustly, tfic ballots record- ing the vote for any candidate meligible accordance with the luw are null and void, and are uwot 1o be included in the count of votes, Thus, even il acan- didate who 1s neligible under the bill ob- tains an overwhelming majority his clums will be disregarded, and the next on the list declared ~elecf Hitberto plural candi- dates have been considered pertectly legiti- mate in France. 1t was i consequence f this election in large numbers of the depart- ments that Thiers was made president of the republic. Gambetta also showed that he in- tended to vrovoke & demonstration of u sim- ilor nature in his favor. At the preseut mo- ment, however, these plural candidacies are regarded as dangerous by the republican party, which considers them a kind of indirect plebiscite contrary to the spirit of the constitution. It is doubtless be- lieved that Boulanger had many chances of being returned by several departments, but that it would be far more difticult for him to influence the electors to vete for candidates who simply made use of his name. - Very probably this . opinion is bused upon a solid foundation, Muny clectors who would have voted for General Eoulunger with their eyes shut, without reauiring from him any defimte programume, will brobavly be less easily satisfied with regard to any radical or monarchist caudi- date who declures that he stands or falls with le Bray General.” POLICE INTERFERE.

De Roulde protested, but the policeman was obdurate, De Roulde began aflixing floval wreaths to tharailing around the statue, at the same time leading the crowd in_shouts of “Vive Boulanger.” Clementi tried to arrest De Itoulde, but the latter resisted stoutiy, saying he had only cheered for Boulang He refused to uc- company the officer, T'he latter thereupon seized him, but the crowd came to De Roulde's rescue and took him away from the officer.

In @ svecch after thd banquet the ambassador decluimed against Boulangism, He denied that the Boulangist programme had its parallel in America, because he said in America the president s clocted mot by universal suffrage, but by delegates of the states. Moreover, in America there was practically no standing army, and o coup d'etat wus therefore impossibla. The triumph of Bou- langer must end in the disaster of Prance.

Z Q | l | | W, NUMBER 26 AN OLD FAKE WARMED OVER The Oft Told Tale About Blaine Re= signing Revived. AIMED AT THE SUGAR TRUST. Minister Palmer Negotinting With Spain for Rociprocity Between Cuba and the United States. Wasnixarox Buneav, Tre OMAA Bes, 518 FoukTerNTI STRERT, Wasmixaros, D. July 14, Whenever there is w dearth of news in Washington, it is the custom for anti-admin~ istration newspaper correspondents to work on rumors, The Jatest effprt in this line is 1h harmony with others which have passed cur- rent before. Yesterday one of the New York papers had a paragraph to the effect that Mr. James G. Blaing,is about to resign his portfolio to peruit the president to select a new sccretary of state. The story is sim- vly a reiteration of a similar one published some weeks ago. It is scarcely worth a de- nial and would not be worthy of even part- ing comment but for the fact that it gives an opportunity to explain Just what Mr. Blaine is doing. The secre- tary of state has beon hard at work upon the routine mat‘ters of his office ever since his appointment, and he is stili hard at work. At Bar Harbor he is free from the oppross- ive heat and sultry air of Washington, but he is not free from the cares of his office. On the contrary, he is constantly busy and has with him a mass ot papers bearing upon the fortucoming congress of American nations. Mr. Blaine, as well as tho prosi- dent, takes the groatest possible interest in the promotion of American trade in the South American states, and they are both carnest 1n the hope that the congress will be followea by great results; Mr. Blaine has work enough in this connection to keep him constantly at work for two ar three mounths, and hie will probably be at Bar Har- bor throughout the entire summer. 1t is this ubscnce which 18 the basis of the rumor that he intends to resign. His relations with the president are of the most cordial character. BAD FOR THE SUGAR TRUST. The policy of the sugar trust in forcing the retail price of sugar fron (3¢ to 10 cents per pound within a year is likely to” be fol- lowed exccutive uction which will detrimental to the in- terests of those Minister Palmer with his credentinle to the court of Spain received instructic. 8 ‘o negotiate with the Spanish authovitie: 0 . treaty which whila admitting Am i ya0ducts to Cuba with- outthe payment of ‘import duty, will also admit to thie pofts of the United States tho products of Cuban plantations without ex- port duty in Cuba or import duty m this country, Although Mr. Palmer, hus been at his post but & short time it is said he has been busy at work upon the preliminaries of the proposed treaty which will be based upon thut negotiated by Minister Foster during President Arthur's administration, which failed of ratification in the senate. There is reuson to believe that Mr. Palmer ° will succeed 80 well that the treaty will b ady 10 submit to the senate early in the winter, and the greed of ‘the sugar trust is likely' to materially aid in se- curing 1ts ratification. Although negotia- tions are undevstood to be pending between the government and Great Britaw for a better understanding between this couniry and Canada, the work of Senafor Palmor is considered by far the most important diplo- matic measure now pending, and just before he sailed Mr. Blaine said to him: ~ **We con- sider scnator, that your mission is far more important just now than that confided to either Mr. Lincoln or Mr, Reid.” THEY WERE SKILLED MECHANICS, Superintendent Meredith, of the bureau of engraving and printing, had his first encoun- ter with the civil service rules on Monday last. Wnen the government surrendered to the Knights of Labor and ordered the modern steam presses taken out of the bureau and the old fashioned hand presses restored, it became necessary for some one to do the work, whereupon Captain Meredith applied to the secretary of the treasury for two skilled mechanics. The requi- sition was' sent to the civil service commis wno looked over the list ‘of skilled mechanics and sent down to the bureau two men who stood at the heud of the list. One turned out to be a carventer and joiner and the other a cabinet maker, but neither of them understood urmuntgI presses, and both had to stund idly by an see the plate printers already employed in the burcau remove the muchines. Captain Meredith says that if he does not huve bet- ter luck with the civil service rules at the next trial he will never be a mugwump, L AR B STRIKERS WOUNDED, Braidwood Miners Kired Into By a Shieriff’s Posse, / Braowoo, IIL, July 14.—Seventy of the 200. miners formerly emvloyed at Godley mine went to work yesterday morning.
