THE WINE PRESS OF WRATA. Mormons to Tread It and Press Out the Nation's Blood. TO AVENGE JOSEPH SMITH. The Deel fon of an Elder in Ten- nessee Which Onnsed Great Ex- citement and a Peter the Hermit Orusade. Saints flave a Fard Time. Nasnvitie, Tenn., August 9.—|Special Telegram to Tus Bee.|—The Mormon troubles in Wilson county looked very threatening Sunday, but are believed to have temporarily quicted down now. The Mormons are on the alert, and the anti- Mormon party grows more Indignant at every “revelation.” Just now, howover, the elders have hidden under fear of tar and feathers. 1n preaching to one congrogation Bunday, one of the elders told his svmpa- thizers that this country belonged to them; that they were preparing to take it by force if necessary, and would have it if they had to take blood out of every man in this country; that the church was preparing an army for that purpose. ‘‘For,” said he, *the blood of Joseph Smith must be avenged, and God commands s to overthrow this government for its oppression of the saints. 'he great wine press of his wrath has not yet been trodden. We are to wread it, and tread it wo will until we have pressed out tho last dmr of blood and the national and personal existence of this accursed people.” One sympathizer to whom this was spoken became alarmed at the excitement in the mlnmnn’i‘y and repcated the elders's words, Thereupon, Rov. John Barrett insti- tutod & ““Peter the Hermit” crnsade ngainst the Mormons. The Mormons succeeded in proselyting some of his flock, and preached Sunday at Friendshipto a crowd. He had a letter from a lady in Kentucky who had Joined the Mormons, gone to Utah, seen their ces, become disgusted, returned home and has the courage to tell the truth. She denounces the system as deceptiveand rotten, and the priests and many of the layman as a ot of scoundrels, Benjumin Bright, who ‘was an active participant in the first Mor- man revival, asserts that the elders deceived bim, and henceforth he is an ‘*American and Mormon.” The people are determined 10 drive the Mormon elders from ths part of the country. NOT READY FOR PLANTS. Why the Park Commission Refused the Woodman Collection, For over a month past the park com- missioners have been cousidering a propo- sition from Mr. and Mra. Clark Woodman to «donate to the city their valuable collection of tropical plants. Mr. Lininger strongly urged that the offer be accepted, while Judge Lake thought the collection taken at the present time would be something of a white elephant on the commission’s hands. Dr. Mller thought, and so expressed himself, :that the placts would be a very valuable addition’ w oneof the parks, but was not certain_that the commission would care to erect a house for their accommodation, either Bow or next spring, Messrs. Platt and Millard didn’t favor tak- ing the piants, thinking that the money for a conservatory would be spent in another way o better advantage. At the last meeting of the commissioners the matter came to a focus. Architect Cleve- land had, Mr. Lininger savs, advised against taking ths gift, and accordingly Mossrs. Platt and Millard voted against it. Mr, Lin- inger, of course, supported it, and Dr., Miller declived to vote. Judge Lake was absent. So the offer was declined. Mr, Lininger feels that it -was narrow licy to throw away so rare an opportunity. “Not in ten years hesaid last eveniug, “will we have such another opportunity to ‘Boautify the park af 1l expense. The cost of a house in Hunscom park veed not have exceeded $1,200, and the collection was ‘well worth §5,000. The commiseion owes it to the people to make the park as attractive lla)olllbla. and will best fulfill its duty by adding those things which would refine and educate as well as please the sensez. I think 4t was a very ungracious act to refuse Mr. 'oodman's offer.” Another member of the commission, who mlyuanv declined to be quoted, agreed that had done a very unhandsome thing in declining to accept the plants, but he really thought it best to move slowly until the grounds were made ready. Mr. Lininger, he snid, nad been somewhat impetuous i1 insisting that the board should at once whether to ac oept or decline. Having, however, gmled the matter, the decision was against im, solely because no one on the board could say just yet whether 1t was best to ‘build a conservatory next spring or not. Then Mr. Woodman was seen, He had no comment to make, of course. All there was 20 it was that the commission had refused hisoffer. He had written to the park com- missioners of Chicago, and bad no doubt they would be glad to get his collection. It ‘was started, he says, over twenty-five years 880, and s one of the finest in the country. In it are plants sixty years old; pieces from the banks of the Nile. Every portion of the tropical zone, in fact, had been lmd under tribute. He was shortly to remove from the old place on Thirty-seventh street, and pre- Jerred rather to donate the plants to some publio park than to move them, e Jack Haley Heard From. Czpar Rarins, Ia., August 8.—In ybur is- 0 of the 7th appears an account of a shoot— ing affray in which one Jack Haley is accused of shooting one “Reddy O'NeilL.” I desire 10 say that I have been in Codar Rapids, fa., for the past thirty days, working on the Re- publican. Aslam tne only Jack Haley, a “iprinter from Davenport,” it must be that Somo one else has taken my nawme for the purpose of shielding himsel? from the conse- quences of his crime. Your description and statement of my age, etc., is correct. My home is also at Davenport, where I was born raised, ana where 1 learned my trade. y time I am wanted 1 can be found at the blicun ofMce in this city. Pleaso give lace in Tre Bk, as I very much dis- like to stand charged with 50 grave a crime as attempted marder. ACK HALEY. ‘The above letter from Mr. Haley would indicate that some very quick ~ think- ing had been done by Interested parties on the night of the shooting. It is evident that there was a concerted plan to shicld the really guilty party by accusing & man who ‘was miles away. Army Notes. Brigadier General John R.

Joint Rates, Drs Morxes, Ta,, August 9. —[Special Telo- gram to Tne Bee ]—The railroad commis- sioners to-aay rendered a very important do- cision on the question of jownt rates, in answer to cowplaints of Burlington and Davenport jobbers, When the complainants appoared before the commissioners some woeks ago they charged that the railroads, by rofusing to make joint rates whore two ormore lines wore used, caused delays m their shipments, to the advantage of Chicago and other compotitors. They said that thoy were compelled to robill and reship at all Junction points, instead of being allowed one through shipment, as herctofore. They asked the commissioners to compel the roads to put in joint tariffs which would be lower than the sum of the two locals, and avoid the trouble anda delay of reshipments. The question was one of great importance, and the railroands insisted that the commis- sioners had no right under the law to do this. ‘The commissioners, in a voluminous opinion, sustained them as to this fact, and go fur- ther and intimate tuat a law compelling them to put in a joint tariff would require that each of the companies be compelled to enter into joint obligations with corporations with whom they were unwilling to have contract relations, and such a law would be unconsti- tutional.” (108 Massachusetts, 14. | ‘The commissioners sustain the charges of delays and discriminations caused by the present system. The commissioners say, in oonclusion : *‘The last legislature authorized and di- rected the commissioners to fix minimum rates of freights for each of the railroads of Towa.
