[Copyntaht 1691 by James Goraon Rennstt.) Masciester, Eng., Sept. 19— [New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.|—A the enormous stocks of fabrics crowde into America in anticipation of the McKinley tariff law begin to be exhausted tho British manutacturers and exporters aro getting a glimpse at tho real effects of tho new duties, Tho heaviest blow has fallen on Bradford and Leeds, whero the woolen industries are fainting under the shock. On ail sides the fecling is bitter, but the influence of the McKinley law on cotton manufactures, while very dis- tant, is not so serious as it may be. It s thought that tho relation of British weavers to tho raw cot- ton market may in timo result m lowering the value of the cotton crop in America. Hitherto a portion of the American crop has been paid for the exchango of manufactured cottons. This has had the effect of keeping the price of raw material very high. Should the American market for manufactured goods be cut off, and all the pagmonts be made in cash, it is clear tho mauufacturers would 1nsist upon lower rates. One of the clearest headed representatives of the cotton mannfacturers in Manchester is Mr. Barlow of the firm of Barlow & Jones, the leading makers of decorative cotton quilts and counterpanes in tne world. They are also oxtensive manufacturers of towels and damasks, What Mr. Barlow Said. “It is almost too early to form a final opinion as to tho offects of the McKinloy tariff in our trade,” said Mr. Barlow. *Still we are beginning to sco the drifvof it. The McKinley law is driving us out of the lower into the higher grades. You sece these counterpancs, [showing some cheap ones] are ot o very low grade. Wo sold them for two or three shillings. Our orders from America were for tens of thousands. We had an enormous trade in them. Now we send none to Awer- fca, for Americans are making them them- selves, The tariff prevents us from com- peung. “But look at these other counterpanes. You seo there is hand embroidery upon them. That quality is exceedingly fine. And look at the work—so exquisitely done. These we sell for 36 shillings each. The tariff on them 15 enormous, and yet we sell them and ex- pect to increaso our American trade in that divection. “But where we sold tens of thousands of others, we only sell hundreds of these. We have made up our minds tbat the American market is permanently closed to us for com- mon manufactured cottons, and that the only field open is for fancy work--for articles de luxe, as the French would s: At the pres- ent time American manufacturers have not yet worked up to the finer articles in cotton. So long as we confine ourselyes to this line we shall have thetrade. American people who are rich have luxurious tastes. If the tanfl on these things is high they dow’t mind paying the difference in price. Our manufactured cotton trade with America now resolves itself into the guestion of suiting tho tastes of the people.” Hope for America. **Will not America in time work up into the better grades of cotton munufactures alsof” I asked. “Yes. Itis too true.” *‘And Great Britain’s entire trade in that direction will be lost{" “I think so.” “Isn’t it a fact that already American cali- cos have been sold here in England in large quantities " “Not in the way of competitive trade, and that is & phenomenon that can be easily ex- plained. America pursues a policy fol- lowed in all highly protected countries. When the market is overstocked and sho cannot sell At @ profit rather than lower tho price at home she ships the surplus stock abroad and gets what she can for it Otherwise, the home market prices would be reduced and it would be slow work getting them up again to the former level. Thatis how occasionally American calicos aro sold in England.” #What will bo the ultimate effect of the closing of tho American market,” [ asked, Wo ure already looking about for new markets in India and Africa. South America is also a promising field.” Reciprocity Will Work. “But will not the American reciprocity treatios with South American governments check British trade there ! “It is very likely. Our people are so firmly convinced that the free trade policy is the ouly good policy that there is 10 hope of securing treaties such as America 1s making. But we shall have good markets for our common goods in Africa, and, be- sides, our home trade is constantly increas- ing." Mr, Parsons, master of the Manchester Royal exchange,said that the cotton trado was very bad just now, but he thought tho depres- sion was as much due to finaucial stagnation in England as to the McKinley tarift, Fifteen Hundred Arvested. | Copyright 1891 by yames Gordon Bennett.)

Trouble Said to Be Brewing Between Guatemala and San Satvador. [ Copuriaht 1891 by James Gordon. Bernett.\ SAN SALvADOR (via Galveston, Tex.), Sept. —[By Mexican Cableto the Herald—Spe- cial to Tue Bee.|—During the past few days vaguo ramors have been afloat regarding the impending trouble between Guatemala and San Salvador, These roports owe their origin to tho fact that the Guatemalan gov- ernment been welcoming Salvadinian immigrants with the probable intention of arming them and then putting them into San Salvador's territory to start a revolution. The dismissal of General Amayas from the War department, taken in connection with tho expulsion of (ieneral Plazos from tho country, have confirmed these reports. The facts, moreover, are quickly followed by the rumor from the Guatemalan frontier that Barillas is mussing troops and war materials there, San Salvador has natur- ally been on the alert for such disturbing demonstrations, The reason for the hostilo movement is not clearly understood here be- cause there has not been tho slightest cause for it given by General Ezotas. Genoral Ponciano Leiba has been elected, or rather made, president of Honduras by General Bogran, with the object of govern- ing that country from behind the scene. In reality he continues the actual president, and the former policy of servitudo and obedience to Guatemala will be carried out, There is not the slightest intention on the part of General Ezetannezeta nor of his brother, to interfere in tho affairs of Hon- duras. Both desire peace, and the wholo country longs for it. Sun Salvador hates wat, but will fight if sheis obliged to doso vy the ambition of Guatemala’s chiefs. As s is ready to obey tho orders of Barilas, San Salvador has deemed it best to observe what has taken placo on her and to cover the frontiers of both atemala and Honduras so as to be pre- pared, no matter on which side the expected war might break out. It is believed, how- ever, that Guatemala will be the country to start the trouble. San Salvador is now, asan actual fact, verfectly at peace. One strong proof of Giuatemala’s sccret propara- tions at the frontier is the fact that her goy- ernment has wilfully stopped all tolegraphic communications with San Salvador. Fol- lowing Guatemala's example, Honduras, under pretext of its elections, actually stopped all communications. The earthquale shocks are generally grow- ing less. ENGLAND WILL 0T APOLOG That Picnic Party at Sigri of Little Moment—English News. [Copyrighted 1891, New York Assoclated Press.] Loxboy, Sept. 19.—The sultan has deemed the moment opportune to emphasize the en- ténte between the porte and the Franco-Rus- sian alliance by conferring upon M. Ribot, the French foreign minister, the grand cor- don of the Ovdor of Osmanie, aud upon Mme. Ribot the decoration of Nichani- Clefakat, an order for ladies founded by the sultan himself. ~Associated with this news the British foreign office has received advices from Siv William White, tho British ambas- sador at Constantinople, to the effect that Sald Pasha had seut him a report from the governor of Smyrna on the Mityleno inci- dent with a note reciting in urgent terms the porte's request for an explanation. Sir William Whte does not mention the receipt of any information concerning Sigri from Ad- miral Lord Korr on which the response ought. to be based. The delaying of the reply tends to confirm the belief that Admiral Kerr acted under orders and that it was not chance that caused the maneuvres. Sigri, it is believed, was se- lected as an unobtrusive place to effact a sug- gestive domonstration. If Admiral Kerr acted under instructions Lord Salisbury’s explanations may rest upon the fact that the porte had long accorded the privilege of maneuvering and drilling upon the islands of the Archipoligo. Whatever the nature of the response, it will not be apologetic. The Standard, in an article directly in- spired, if not written by Lord Salisbury’s private secretary, puts the position explic- itly. It savs that Bugland under no circum- stances will allow Itussia to obtain command of the Dardanelles. Imumediately the gov- ernment of the sultan shows itself incapable of performing tho 1mperative duty of guard- ing the straits England will not shrink from moeting the difficulty, Tho liberal chiefs meet tho great party federation at Newcastle with the question of the party leadership dQetermined. Mr. Gladstono will accopt the premiership, if victorious in the general elections, having Sir Wiltim, Veruon Harcourt as deputy, with a fuil share of tho responsibilities in leading. Inview of the limited physical resources of Mr. Gladstone when the home rule vill s carried, Mr. Gladstono will re- tire, and Siv William Vernon Harcourt will sucteed as premier. Lord Spencer will head the liboral lords, and the earl of Roscborry will becomo foreign secretary. The federation meeting, as itis tho last thut will bo held beforo the country plunged into the general elaction, is of ox- coptional importance, mporor William has offered a German squadron with or without the aid of British or F'renchvessels, to enforce a diplomatic reprosentation of the Chineso government.

Under Mr. Chadiin's regime tho measures for repressiug the foreign cattle trade are rigidly ontorced, but the long con- tinued freedom’ of American cattlo from disease, enable Mr. Lincoln, the American minister, to demand the romoval of the quarantine reguiation requiring that cattle ve killed within ten days after landing.

LCopuright, 1801, by New York Associated Press.] BenLiy, Sept. 10.—The army manouvres which have been in progress for some days wera concludea today with an attack of the Fourth and Eleventh army corps, com- manded by Emperor Willlam in person, upon the enemy under General Wittich, The em- peror lett Mulhausen yesterday morning and proceeded to Volkemoda, where he assamed command, of the Eleventh army corps. The Fourth corps, quitting the = bivourcs at 4 a. m, joined the Eleventh and the united force marching in three columus, advaunced towards Schlotheim. The operations ended with the repuise of General Wittch's command and its retreat uvon Langensalza. Later the emperor started for Wilhemshohe. Criticising Miliatary Manecuvers. Military experts are reviewing the recent serics of army maneuvers by Austrian, Ba- varian and Prussian troops, and sll concur in the opinion that grave defects were exhib- ited by the Austrlan troops, owing to the absence of generals capable of directing their movements without blundering. ¥m- peror William is reported as having told Emperor Francis Joseph that his men aod oficers were fit to meet any enemy that might be brought against them, buv that his generals were lacking in self-reliance, asso- ciated with a consciousness of their ability to handle their men, The Bavarian and Prussian manwuvres disclosed less serious defects. The generals in those armies displayed great efficiency and readiness to take the initiative, but the colonels commanding the various regiments acted too much like machines in adhering strictly to the letter of their orders. Last evening the emperor grouped the officers of his army in a field near Schlotheim and made a brief speech to them, in the course of which he advised that o less rigia system be followed in marching and that freer meth- ods be adopted in drilling in order to add elasticity to the movements of tho troops. At the same time, and in spite of his criti- cisms, his majesty complimented the troops upon their general efficiency. High military authorities are agreed that both tho Austrian and German armies are now fully ready to meet the enemy. Emperor Francis Joseph tonight issued an order touching the muneuvers of the Austrian troops, in which he commended the discipline and efficiency shown by them, and said that he was certain that the army would fulfill its duties, alike in peace and war, Does Not Claim Special Privileges. Finding that the Euglish government is eagerly disposed to make the position of the Dardanelles matter a weapon of offence, RRussia has suddenly changed her diplomatic tactics. M. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassa- dor at Constantinopie, has informally ad- vised Sir William White, the English am- bassador to Turkey, that the alieged occupa- tion of Sigri on the island of Mitylene by a British force does not in any way concern Russia, and Count Von Schonvaloff, the Rus- sian ambassador at Berlin, has explained to Chancellor Von Caprivi that Russia dis- claims any special privileges in the passage of the Dardanelles. Desires England's Friendship. A romarkabln inspired article, which ap- woared in the St. Petersburg Novosti yester- Uay, and which was talographed hora throuss a semi-official agency, offors the hand of friendship to Great Britain. ““I'he empire of Itussia,” says tho Novosti, “is already too extensive for her to desiro to add 10 it by uhe conquest of India, If sha is forced to _undertake the enterprise at some future date 1t could only be as an act of re- taliation for hostility shown by Great Britain to the czar's government in Iurope. On the other haud, should Great Britain renounce her anti-Russian policy she would have noth- ing to fear from Russia as regards India,” "The Novosti concludes by urging the Salis~ bury government to enter into a definite agreement with Russia at the presont mo- ment, whon it could be done under more fav- orable circumstances. perhaps, than it could atany available later junctuve, Th articlo has given rise to tho suspicion here that the czar's goverument is about to attempt to effect a compromise with England with a view to detaching her from the drei- bund.

Cnicaco, 11, Sept. 19. =*The announcement of the marriage of Miss Gertrude W. Potter, daughter of O. W. Potter, a millionaire and president of the Illinols Steel company, to Julius Clarke Daniels of New York city, has been made. The groom is the son of George H. Daniels, genoral passenger and ticket agent of the New York Central railroad. The brideand groom left for the east t his aftor- noon. An authorized statement, made for the fam- ily this afternoon, adds a heretofore unknown feature to the affair. The statement says: “December 81, 1889, Julius Clarko Daniels secured from the county clerk of Cook county a liconse to himself under the uame of Julius Clarke to Gertrude Whiting Potter under the name of Gertrude White to marry. Acting under that license Julius Clarke Daniels and Gertrude Whiting Potter were, on tho Ist day of January, 1890, united in marriago by Rev. R. A. Johm, pastor of St. Paul's church 1n the city of Chicago. The parties continued thereafter to hve at their respective homes. Subsequently Miss Pot- ter submitted to legal counsel the question of the validity of her marriage with Mr. Danjels and was advised and believed that such marriage was invahd. She then in- formed Mr. F.

At the time they were also first informed of the previous cerémony of mar- riage.” The statement then goes on and cives the details of the suit for and decroo of annullment of tho marriage with young Dan- jels substantially as already recited in these dispatches, and continues as follow: No actual necessity exists for any decree of court annulling the marriage which was in fact void, but the same was secured for tho reason that tho intercsts of all con- cerned made it proper.

City Lots Under Water—A Olever Swindling Scheme. Omcago, IIL, Sept. 19.—Another alleged land swindle came to light. last night, when George H. Welton and Alfred F. Dreutzer, members of the DeForest Land Improvement company, were arrested, charged with on- taining monoy under false pretonses. The company was incorporated early in the pres- ent year and s composed of Georgo H. Welton, his son_Charlas ‘Welton, Alfred K. Dreutzor and Willam A. Collem. They ad- vertised a large tract of land in Bloom town- ship which had been subdivided and was in full view of the World's ‘fair grounds. The company reprosented that fully one-half of the lots had been sold for factory purposes. Iv is stated that a large number of lots were sold to working people at figures rang- ing from $40 to $120 por lot. Mr, Zetterberg, who was employed as agent, says the president of the company showed him a fine tract of land in Bloom township, which ho veprosented to b the land for sal and most of the purchasors thought their lots were ou this tract. A few days ago Mr. Murlow, oue of the purchasers, becamo suspicious and, in company with Zotterberg and a8 map, went out to see the property. After traveling for half a day they )ouml the lots, but they were under two feet of water. Upon finding that he had been taken in Agent Zetterborg immediately quit the com- pany and set to work to find out whether all the lots ho had sold were in the same condi- tion. It did uot take long to find out that all tho lots sold were water logged and that in- stead of bemng within sight of the World's fair grounds they are at least eleven miles south of the grounds, Mr. Marlow decided 10 prosccute.

When I called on the colonel at his country residence he read the dispatch which I handed him, giving particularly close attention to the statemout made by Senor Edwards Matte, that Mivister Exan had done nothing to for- feit the good opinion of tho victorious re lutionists. *'So I was the cause of the revo- lution in Chili,” said Colonel North placidly. “Well, that is rot. Why should I cause the revolution? What end had I toserve by causing the revolution? Is it likely that I would try to endauger my own interest and Enghsh interest generally? The charge is simply ridiculsus, besides I do not like, and never took any part in Chilian politics, and I took no side in the revolution. Now, that it is all over, I am very glad the consti- tutional party won. They bave been called insurgents, but they were the constitutional party and were fighting against a dictator who clung to his posi- tion because he saw great wealth almost within his grasp. Baumaceda’s idea to be succeedea by a tool of tue country, however, was against him, The victors are men who have much at stake in Chili; they are mon of property, many of them, and have the good of their country at heart.

Much that we haye heard from Chili in the jast few months has of course been exaggerated. It should be remembered that Balmuceda is a most plausible fetlow. ‘My bouse 1s is yours, is a favorite expression of his and he probably had no difficult task 1 getting the better of Egan. Oue bit of intelligence recently furnished to us from Chili is ve good. ~Oue of the illustrated papers depicts Balmaceda as commanding in person the last battle, He is directing tho artillery fire in one picture. The joke of it is that Balmaceda had left the city two hours before the battle. By the way, Edward Matte, who now stands sponsor for 1igan, was one of Balmaceda's friends when the revolution began and for some time afterwards However, the war is now over, and like other enterprising people wo will soon be extending our interests there.

HONDURAS HISTORY, vents Loading Up to the Assassina- tion of President Bogran. K, Sept. 19.—The report that Don Luis Bogran, the presidont of Honduras, has been assassinated croates no surpriso among those who are acquaintod with his eventful career and the state of affairs in Honduras, for he had made many strong and bitter ene- mies, In fact, it was predicted a year ugo that he would be assassinated, He was born in Santa Barbara, tho me- tropolis of the repubiic of Honduras bearing that name, on June 8, 1840, His father was General Saturninius Bogran, When Barrios was president of Guatemala and Don Marco Aureclio Soto president of Honduras, Bogran was « soldior of consider- uble prominence in the small army of the lat- ter nation. e was restlessly ambitious and ho attempted to create a rebeilion against the president. The ill-fated Del Gardo was av that time governor of the province of Gardias, and was sent by the president with a force of sbldiers to put down Bogran's re- bellion, He did so effectively, capturing the leader. Aftex having captured Bogran, Del Gardo summoned him before him and said “I give you your liberty. You are a man of too small importance to be of any danger to New the republic.” Soon after Bogran bogan to fiutriguo with Barrios against Don Marco, Barrios sent the letters which he received from Bogran to President Soto and advised him to arrest the man as trai- tor. This President Soto refused to do. Afterward in 1884, when a misunderstanding arose between Prosident Soto and President Burios, the latter took up General Bogran and used him as a means of fomenting dis- cord in Honduras, The overwhelming power of Guatemala, the strong will of Barrios and 20,000 troops which he held in readiness to march against Honduras forced President Soto to resign his seat. General Bogran was elacted to the presidency almost unanimously and bo has held it to the present time. The presidential chair has not been & scat stuffed with roses or lined with swansdown, however. Bristling bayonets have surrounded it and frequent rebellions have threatened its stability. [n 180, Del Gardo invaded Honduras with a revolution- ary 1orco. He was defeated in battlo by General Bogran and carried prisoner to Tegucigalpa. His companion, General More, in that last battlo in the mountains, in the sight of both armies, blew his brains out with his own pistol, thus ending a_career of adventure which has hardly its parallel in fiction. Tied to an ass' back Del Gardo was taken to Comayagua, where he was shot in the pinza with sixtéon of lis companions. Dr. Jel Gardo of Salvador was at_that time one of the ministers of President Menendez. He was a brother of General Emlia Del Gardo and tried to save his life. Bofore the death of President Menendez Munister jDel Gardo resigned his oftice. The ignominous manner in which General Bogran put his_brother to death has never been foriven by Del Gardo. Tne revolution attempted by Del Gardo was only one of many witu which Bogran has beon cailed upon to cope during his term of oftice. Barillas, when —he succeeded Barrios as president of Guatemala, continued the policy of his predecessor, and the league be- tween himsell and Bogran hus been one of the strongest kind. Tnthe war wiiich Bar- rios had with Salvador and in which he was killed, Bogran attempted to fulfil his con- tract and to march with Barrios against the Salvadorian frontier. But the invasion of his own territory by the armies of Nicaraugua On and Costa Rica prevented his doing it. the downfall of Barrios Costa Rica withdrew their troops, Bogran still in office. Tho alleged ery of correspondence between Bogran and Colonel Rivas, which correspondence was said,to have plainly shown that the revolt of izeta was in- against the authority of zated und aidod by Bogran, incensed tho alvadorians against” him. His later visit with & portion of his troops to the Salva- dorian ' froutier was, President Bogran al- leges, for the purpose of subduing a rebellion which had brokes out in that section of Hon- duras. In order to give woight to that state- ment, he hanged a couplo of rebel officers of his own, whom Le caught, and aiso a couple of officers who had rovolted with Rivas against the authority of Iizeta. The capture of tho correspondence, however, hus becn most unfortuaate for Bogran. No amount of bangings ever could remove from the mind of the victorious zota tho idea that Bogran was trying to play him false. When just 30" years old Bogran married Miss Teresa Morejon, u charming naiden of 17, the daughter of oue of the most notable families in the department of Yoro. In per- son Bogran had the Boulauger type of countenanco and always uffcctod a rather dashing and military manner. WEATHE For Omaba and Vicinity—Generally fair; slightly cooler.

LCopuright 1891 by James Gordon Bennett.} Loxpoy, Sept. 10.~[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Brr.|-While the great controversy about drunkenuess and its cures is raging in tho Times, Telegraph and other papers, Dr. Leslio E. Keeloy of Dwight, [lL., who is bocoming famous for his ravid cures of alcoholism and opium habits, has arrived in London. He has just finished a tour of France, Germany, Austria, Switz- erland and italy, made for tho purpose of studying bis specialty. The doctor left America for this journey in June, and, staying a weelk or so in London, will study the question of drunkenness in Ireland and particularly in Scotland, where it 15 sald & man is not considered drunk while ho can be on the ground without falls ing off, Yesterday Dr. Keeley received acablegram from Chicago announcing that the Bichloride of Gold club had reached & membership of 1,000. This club consists of ex-drunkards who have been cured by bichloride of gold at tho Kecloy institute in Dwight or at. one of its sixteen brarches in the United States, The club w formed by men who had suffergl the terrors and sorrows of drunkenness and had been saved. Whileon the continent Dr. Kecley met TLord Graves, who is so deeply interested in his work that ho intends to visit America with a view of founding in Knglana an insti- tution similar to Dr. Keeley's establishment at Dwight. It is possible he will sail for America with the doctor. Drink Habit a Disease, The most remarkable thing abouta long chat which I had with Dr. Keeloy yesterduy was the stress he laid upon tns fact that drunkenness is nota vice, and is not to be approached or considered as anything but a disease, to be treated as matavia or any other physical malady. Hero 1s a gray haired, keen eyed man of the west, who bas in twelve years cured over ninety-five hundred drundards and opium takers, and with all the experienco that such a record implies, he turns his back on tho remedies offered by legislation and the churches. If itwere & vice, law and religion could prevent or remedy it; butit is a disease, and physical remedies are tho only means of checking ith The doctor s: that from the time he lefs Eugland until the time he returned to Lons don, two days ago, he only saw two drunken men. These wero two at Naples. One was adrunken boatumn, the other was a young fellow returning from Sorento in a pieasure boat. He attributed the general sobriety of all continental nations to the habit of light wine or beer drinking, which, so to speak, begets power of resistauce that makes stronger alcobolic drinks unnecessary. This is on the principlo of vaccination as a pres ventativo of small pox. Heinstances the fact that tho first negro sets tlers in the Great Dismal Swamp aied off Like sheap from malarial poisoning, yet the swamp today 1s as thickly settlea as any part of North Carolina by a stroug, healthy race, who have become inured to the climatic cons dition. “Doctor,” T sald, us I sat beside him yese terday, “from your observations of the effect of light beer drinking in Germany and light wine drinking in France and Italy, what do you think ubout the plan pursued in other countries of attempting to wipe out drunkens ness by absolutely prohibiting the sale of liguor, or by the system commonly known as total abstinence, which 1involves a written pledge! »hibition is Hopeless. “Tdo not think prohibition wilt ever obtain in the United States,” said the doctor, “It is impossiblo to control the liguor traMo, therefore I think light beer drinking ought to bo encouraged as n matter oY govern ment policy in America as in England, As to the attempt to wipe out drunkenness by moral suasion in the form of written pledges or oaths, I know that enthusiasm or religion may often bring about a mental and moral condition that canuot be attained by any other means, and many people who have taken the pledge try very hard to keep it. But for one who will keep such a pladge, an hundred fall by tho way *‘Alcoholic drinking is not a vice. It is & disease, This is the way I regard it. For that reason I treat it as a disoase with better success than has been obtained any time in the world’s history. You can neither wipe out drunkenness by preaching nor by maks ing laws." “What has been your observation as to the alled tomporance movemonts (' “They are still serving to mould publio opinion, which goes far toward wiping out the dramshiop in small towns and villages, and it also scrves to make drunkenuess dise roputable,” “After your study of the question in rope, would you, if you had tiie power, at this moment substitute light wine and beer for prohibition and pledges (" “Yes; omphatically yes. It Is better to do this and have parents form the tastes of youths 0 that wine and beer would be ase sociated with meals, and not with a debauch than to have the habit for strong drink seeretly contractea.” 80 He Was & AN Fraxois MeMullen, son of the well know pectable, 19.~Barney capitalist of this aity, and brother ot Hon C, Mcs Mullen of Presno, shot und kiiled himself in a house of ill repute early this morning, It is stat also attempted to kil Mattie Reynolds, onc of the inmates of the house, but the woman escapod him.
