3AGK80H 1t0T PIEST-CLASS,
ks'JIike Daly's Backer Takes Down:
t- ' His Forfeit "
i SOME LOCAL BASEBALL GOSSIP,
Sammy Day, the Pedestrian, Arrives in
the City. '
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAT
"Pittsburg FMl"arrived in the city yes
terday from San Francisco. Phil was
"full" of news regarding the boxers and
the horses. His stay in the ""West has evi
dently developed a iaste in him for the
fistic art. He saw the fight between Oai
roll and Blakelock and has seen Jackson
vrith the gloves on several times. Alto
gether "Phil" has had a good experience
among the boxers, out West.
Speaking of Jackson he said: "Jackson Is
considered a great man in 'Frisco. He is com
paratively well bail t,iut rm satisfied that if
Cardiff can fight any at all
JACKSON "WILL BE BEATEN.
"Jackson may or may not be a fighter. I don't
think anybody knows whether he is or not. He
has very big feet, and when stripped looks
muscular, bnt I really don't think he is built in
a way that a champion would be put up. Alto
gether I think that Cardiff, if he can fight any
where near the standard he is alleged to be at,
will defeat Jackson. Certainly there will be a
large quantity of money bet on the result, and
good judges fancy Cardiff.
"The battle between Blakelock and Carroll
was a surprise. I saw the fight and I really
think that Blakelock is a good tighten .He
lost because he had no heart to fight. He
could hare done much better than he did, but
he had few friends there and was not In an ex
tra good condition. Blakelock is really a good
fighter, and if he meets any man of his weight
his opponent willknuwlt if both of them are'
in good condition.
LTVELT IN 'FBISCO.
"Sports in 'Frisco are booming, and there is
any amount of honest contests there. Of
course the athletic clubs have done everything
possible to get the champions there, but the
"business" idea keeps them all from going out.
I am convinced that any two" first-class men
who want to test conclusions can get a good
engagement at 'Frisco that is. if the contest
ants want to fight a squarebattie."
Speaking about the runners, Phil said that
the prospects of the season were bright. He
said: ""The running meetings in all parts give
indications of big affairs. . There Have been
stories afloat to the effect that Murphy had
signed with Haggln for 110,000. This is not
true, because Haggln will pay no such price.
I think he has offered Murphy $7,000, and he
will not pay 1 cent more. That is a good salary
and I think Murphy -will accept It. Of course
he may not, and if he does not Mr. Haggin will
secure another man."

TOOK DOWN THE FORFEIT.
Slike Daly's Backer Declines to Accommo
date DIcAallffe.
Nrtr York. March 29. Richard K. Fox,
stakeholder in the McAuliffe-Daly match, re
ceived a telegram to-day from Captain A. W.
Cooke, of Boston, stating that Captain Wm.
Daly, Jr.. backer, of Mike Daly, called on him
on the 23th Inst in relation to McAuliffe's re
fusal t.o fight for a less sum than $5,000.
Captain Daly suggested that it seemed use
less to keep a forfeit up longer, as he could
not make a match for more than $2,000, and
said if he could raise the "money for a $5,000
match there was nothing to hinder McAuliffe's
refusing to fight for lera than $10,000. Captain
Daly's $250 was returned to him. Captain
Cooke asks Mr. Fox to return him the $250 in
his bands.
The Weir-Murphy Fight.
CHICAGO, March 29. It Is quite likely that
before the sun shines on Chicago Sunday
morning the Weir-Murphy fight will be a thing
of the past. Captain Daly gave out the infor
mation that Murphy would leave Beloltat3
o'clock this afternoon and arrive here at 7
o'clock this evening. The Parson, however, is
as mum as a clam. When the time for de
parture is "but three hours off, he will notify
those entitled to be present, and will give out
nothing except that, "everything's all right."
Weir still remains the favorite in point of bet
ting, although Captain Daly expresses com
plete confidence in the ability of Murphy to
demonstrate that be (Daly) was warranted In
tacking him to win. The fight is destined to
be a most interesting one, whichever one
wins. Weir will endeavor to do np his antago
nist by cutting him, and Murphy will watch
his opportunity to knock the Spider out
Weir's backers count a great deal on his be
fuddling Murphy by his gymnastic evolutions
in the ring, but to this the Murphy men reply
that Murphy's nature is too phlegmatic to be
worried by such tactics, and that he will wait
his opportunity and then get in bis work.

Washington, March 29. President John B.
Daywaslaraong the passengers on the north
bound train from Florida which arrived
here this evening. He was met at the depot by
President Hewitt, of th'e'WashlngttttfclunJand
the two gentlemen left on" the Saldnigbt :train
i Ward, camo.to me last .faU.saldMr.jDay,
aridxequestod that he should be released from
the Giants, stating that he desired to go to
Washington or Boston if satisfactory arrange
ments' could ,bey 'made. -.Subsequently ;he
left to" inake .the , trip ' around Jthe,
world and further negotiations were
suspended so far as he was concerned, Mr.
Hewitt made what I considered a good offer for
Ward's services whereupon I authorized
President 'Young to execute the necessary
papers for his release, and that is the condi
tion of affairs to-day. Under no circumstances
will-he be released to Boston, primarily, .be
cause such action cannot be taken without the
consent of Mr. Hewitt. If Ward declines to
goto Washington he will stay In New York
and mav not get beyond the players' bench, it
is nonsense to talk of any deal by which Wise
or Morrill would be exehangedwith the Wash
ingtons tor Ward, and If I had
entertained any such a thought he
would never have been released to
Mr. Hewitt. The publication In local papers
as to what might "be expected of Ward may
have had a tendency to scare him a, trifle as to
the responsibilities of his position, but he will
not be lett In doubt any longer. Withfward
as manager, and with a capital behind him,
the Washingtons cannot fail to be benefited,
and although the result may not be apparent
this season by keeping him at the helm. Presi
dent Hewitt will show bis wisdom and silence
all croaking. Mr. Hewitt and myself will see
Ward in .New York together, and it is not like
ly that he will remain unsigned another 24
hours."
President Hewitt Interrupted the conversa
tion at tins point to say that he would endeavor
to bring Ward back with him, as he desired his
services on Monday in opening the season
between the Washingtons and Baltimores.
"The question of salary was mentioned to
Ward." said Mr. Hewitt "When I talked with
him a tew days ago. upon his return from
abroad, he declined to fix a figure, saying that
he preferred to wait and have a'talk with Mr.
Day before taking such a step. We will not fall
out however, on that score, and I am more
hopeful than ever of a successful result from
my trip to New York at this time."

f6rlCTALTZLEGRAX TO TEE DISPATCH.l
San Francisco, March 29. The dispatch
from Los Angeles announcing that Lucky
Baldwin would, at the end of the present
racing season, bid adieuto the turf and devote
his attention to breeding, caused a flutter
among lovers of thoroughbreed racers in Cali
fornia, but was received with a grain of doubt
by many who have known him for years. Mr.
Baldwin, on his return to this city to-day, was
seen by a reporter and said:
"Yes, I have "concluded to -retire from' the

"What will you do with your stables of

"I .will race them until the close of the sea

The sequel to a Brooklyn ghost story

imprisoned. The heroine, now says that

rsnciAi, tzxxobax to ttt cisrATcn.l
BEOoktYN, March 29. Since the publi
cation several days ago of mysterious occur
rences in a house in Berkley Place, in this
city, an account of which was given in The
Dispatch at the time, great Interest has
been taken in the story and its maiden
heroine. But the young lady has steadily
remained in seclusion, and the crowds that
haveflocked to Berkley Place to gaze at the
house in which she is imprisoned, have not
been gratified by the sight of her face.
When reporters were first admitted to the
house,, searching all the rooms and half ex
pecting at every turn to hear agonizing
shrieks, thev found nothing tragio or ro
mantic,and all the stories told by the neigh
bors were denied by the mistress of the
house. But it could not be that the neigh
borsseveral families of them, and scarcely
acquainted with .each other could have
been mistaken entirely, and that the cries
of disappointment, sorrow and anger which
they thought they heard were only the effeot
ofimagination. But the mystery has at
last been solved, and the tale about ghosts
and spirits is proven to have been founded
on a romantic love story, with a sad sequel.
THE HAUNTED BOARDING HOUSE.
Early in the winter of 1885 a lady and her
pretty, fair-haired daughter of 20 began
boarding at a house in Thirty-seventh
street, a few doors off Sixth avenue, the two
occupying a front room. Soon a man, who
proved to be a brother of the elder woman,
became a boarder at the same house. The
new-comers were pleasant people, quiet and
well bred in company, and ap
peared desirable boarders. Many times
during the day, however, and
sometimes far in the night, evi
dences were . heard of terrible quarrels
in the room occupied by the mother and
daughter. The voice of the girl could be
heard screaming and crying as If in anger.
Then she would beg piteously for something
and declare she would not and could not
stand such treatment Her cry most fre
quently heard was:
"If you keep me here any longer I will
kill myself 1" Another was, "My God, I
will die if you keep this up.'
The quarreling and the girl's .cries at
night often aroused the other boarders. One
night a gentleman ventured to knock at the
door and ask what, was the matter. The
lady replied simply that her daughter was
not'feeling well.
THE IMPRISONED MAIDEN.
Sometimes the cries would continue so
long during the day that the ladies, board
ing there would crowd around the door,
listening and knocking in vain for admit
tance. Alley ueuauuoYcij uuuu ujukucu i
about the affair, but the mother would never J
answer any questions. A. peculiar tact was
that the girl's voice was always low, and
sometimes she even reduced it to a whisper.
The only exclamation heard coming from
her during the entire stay was:
"You shall not have himl"
The boarders became alarmed and de
termined to sift the mystery to the bottom.
One of the bolder ladies rapped. on the door
one afternoon when the elder of the strange
boarders .had gone out A voice from
within cried oat:
"Mother has locked me inl"
Such was, indeed, the case. The woman
never went out without having first locked
her daughterin the room. The girl finally
ceased coming downstairs to the table, her
meals being- ordered by her mother to her
room.
Several men in the house were about to
insist upon knowing more of the matter,
when the two ladies and their relative left
the house and took np board in another
house in the vicinity. The two women were
Mrs. Mary Pitcher and her daughter Helen,
and the man was Thomas Bryan.
At the new boarding house the same
trouble continued between mother and
daughter. The girl's cries were of the same
order, although she seemed to have become
more resigned to her fate. After a year's
stay here they went to Brooklyn and took
apartments in the St George Hotel, where
they remained abont a month. The next
move was to go to housekeeping, when Mrs.
Pitcher secured the house No. 158 Berkeley
Place, and furnished it handsomely
throughout What has happened since
their removal to 158 has been fully told.
The cries have still been heard, except at
longer intervals. A reporter who called at
the house found Miss Helen Pitcher alone.
Engaging her in conversation on ordinary
topics, he finally drew from her, little by
little, the following statement:
"Several years ago, while my mother and
I were boarding in Brooklyn, I was. fre
onentlv visited by John G. Douglass, a
wealthy grain broker in New York. We
Decame eaeageu, uu nuuc um uMjjpmcss

dislike to ' Mr. -Douglass 'and broke off the
match. Since then yon do not know what I
have borne."
W)VES IABOB lost.
Then she put her hand to W,'face.'to
brush away the fastfalling tears.
"I loved him more than, tongue could
tell," thesfory werii on, 'and the separation1
almost killea'me.' T said T would leave
home for -him, ..and my mother, thinking
that I might carry out my threat,, moved to
New York, where we boarded in the neigh
borhood of Thirty;seventhstreet"
"Then this is the entire cause of all the
trouble?" r . , ,
"It is, and X am surprised that I have
lived through it, as it is only very lately
that I have allowed myself to become recon
ciled to my fate: Seeing this, my mother
has not keptjne BO.close."
'JYou have had quarrels with your mother, '
then about this matter?" ,
'Wes.'ahd awfni ones, too. Iknowthat
I mav have screamed and said all sorts of
things during her talks, but ohl it has been
just as I have felt heartbroken and ready
to die. My mother, otherwise, has been
most kind and 'indulgent to me, and our1
minds have differed only in this one re-'
spect"
Mr. Douglass was found .at his home, No.
100 Quincy street, Brooklyn. He said that
he had been engaged to Miss Pitcher aqd
thought her one of the sweetest girls in the
worldV-He- knfew the breaking off of the
malclfhad' broken her heart, as they had
been very much attached to each other.. He.
says he, does not know why. Mrs. Pitcher,
broke the match, unless.on aeconnt of his
failurein business in 1882. He claimed to
have been defrauded out of 125,000 bv his
partners at that time. Mr. Douglass is a
handsome man, about 35 years old. He has
never.been married a'nd was never, engaged
to aay lady except Miss Plteier. U s

BEE0KINBID6VES VINDICATION.

IirrrxE KoCK, March 29. Hon. Clifton
B. Breckinridge, Congressman from the
Seqond district, .was up from Pine Bluff for
a few hours to-day. The object of his visit
to the capital, city, as learned from a con
versation, was to' request the members of the
Legislature not. to pass the bill redisricting
the .State in, its present shape, The bill
proposes such changes as "will make the
First and Second districts- more strongly
Democratic, the hill to take effect at once.
Mr. Breckinridge's reasons were stated
frankly in the interview. In the first place,
he does not doubt. that the Second district is
reliabiyDemocratic, but should the changes
be made,. desires that they do not go into ef
fect until some remote day, say about

He has no, doubt.in the worldof his elec

not 'elected,' "ana ,a new election become
necessary by reason of the death' of contest
ant, 7. M-'Clayton," he would prefer to make
the rence in the old district so that his reelection-
would be a vindication against
charg.es of fraud, so that the cry couldn't be
raised 'for political purposes that the dis
trict had been chanced for the occasion. It
is. not, likely that the bill will be reached
this .session on account of the short time re

THE GRAND OLD MAN
Eulogizes John Bright in an Eloquent

of! the Great Commoner.
BISMARCK IS NOT EEADT TO DIE TET.
genera! Boalanger Will, be ProseentM by the Trench
Government,
' Last evening In the' House of Commons
was devoted to 'the eulogy of John Bright
Mr. Gladstone made an eloquent address.
Speeches were made by several other mem
bers. Bismarck says it is a mistake to
consider that he is dying. He'has work yet
to do. The French Government has decid
ed to prosecute General Boulanger.for plot
ting against the State.
London, March 29. rThe session of the
House of Commons this evening was de
voted to eulogies pf the late John Bright
"When the Eight Hon. William Henry
Smith, who was the first . speaker, rose to
address the House, all the members doffed,
their hats. Mr. Smith, in a short speeeh,
described Mr. Bright as a man of thorongh
honesty of purpose and great energy of
character. ,
If there was any defect in his character,
it was the intensity of his advocacy of the
principles that he had adopted. Although
warmly attached to the Liberal party, he
could not sacrifice his personal convictions
for any of those considerations which have
great weight with most men. If for a time
he parted from his old associates, nnder a.
strong sense ot duty, there was no trace ot
anger or of personal animosity left
His memory would live long in the hearts
ot men. He would go down to the grave
followed by the affection and sorrow of' the
country. Mr. Gladstone, upon rising was
received with cheers.-. He said:
GLADSTONE'S. EULOGY.
Mr. Bright has been, to a very remarkable de
gree, happy in the moment of his removal from
among us. He lived to see the triumph of al
most every great cause to which he specially
devoted his heart and mind. He has estab
lished a special claim to the admiration of
those from whom he differed through his long
political life by marked concurrence with
them upon the prominent and dominant ques
tion of the honr. "Hear, hear."
While he has in that way opened the minds
and hearts of those with whom he differed to
appreciation of his merits, he has lost nothing
by that concord with them on the particular
subject. Though Mr. Bright came to be sep
arated from the great bulk of the Liberals on
the Irish question, on no single occasion has
there been any word of disparagement, I ac
knowledge that I have not through my whole
political life fully embraced the character of
Mr. Bright and the value of that character to
the country. . .
I say this because It was at the particular
epoch of the Crimean war that I came more to
understand than before the position held by
him and some of his friends and the hold they
had upon the confidence of the people. I was
one of those who dldnot agree with the particu
lar views he took of the Crimean contest but
felt profoundly and never ceased to think what
must have been the moral elevation of men
who, nurtured all their lives in the temple of
popular approval, could at a moment's notlee
consent to part with the whole of that favor
they enjoyed, which opponents might think
the very breath of their nostrils. "Hear
hear."
JOB opinion's sake.
They accepted undoubted unpopularity, for
that war commanded the enormous approval
of the people. It was at that time that al
though we bad known much of Mr. -Bright we
learned more. We had known of his great
mental gifts, his courage, his consistency and
his "splendid eloquence. We had not known
how high was the moral tone of those popular
leaders, and what splendid examples they
could set their contemporaries.
Among other eifts, Mr. Bright was delighted
to be one of the chief guardians of the purity
of the English tongue. "Hear, hear." He
knew how the character of a nation Is asso
ciated with its language. He was enabled, as
an Englishman profoundly attached to his
country, the tongue of the people being to the
end almost an object of worship, to preserve
the purity of the language of Shakespeare and
Milton. Cheeis. Another circumstance of
his career is better known to me than to any
other person present
Everybody is aware that office bad no attrac
tions for him. But few can be aware what
extra efforts were required to induce him to
become a servant of the crown. In the crisis
of 1863, when the fate of the Irish church hung
In the balance, it was my duty to propose to
Mr. Bright that he become a Minister. I never
undertook so difficult a task. From 11 o'clock
at night until X o'clock in the morning we
steadily debated the subject It was only at
the last moment that he found It possible to
set aside the repugnance he felt at doing any
thing that might in the eyes of anyone, even of
the more ignorant classes of bis countrymen,
appear to detract in the slightest degree from
that lofty independence or character which I
have mentioned, and which never, throughout
his career, was held in doubt
IIOJBAL LESSONS.
It was a happy lot to unite so many attractive
qualities. If I had to dwell upon' them alone I
should present a dazzling picture to the world.
It was a happier lot to teach moral lessons b
simplicity, consistency, unfailing courage' and
constancy ot life, thus presenting a combina
tion of qualities that carried us to a higher at
mosphere. Hear, hear. His sympathies
were not strongonly.but active: notsympathles
awaiting calls to be made upon them, but sym
pathies of a man seeking objects upon which
to bestow the inestimable advantages of elo
quence and courage. ...
In Ireland, when support of the Irish cause
was rare; in India when support of the native
cause was rarer still: in America, at the time
when Mr. Bright, forseelng the ultimate Issue
of the great struggle ot 1881, stood as the repre
sentative of an exceedingly small portion of the
educated community of. the country, although
undoubtly representing a large part of the na
tional sentiment "Heart nearr In all these
cases Mr. Bright went far ontside the necessi
ties of his calling. Whatever touched him, 'as
a man of the great Anglo-Saxon race, whatever
touched him as a subject, obtained, unasked,
bis sincere, earnest and enthusiastic leader
ship. P'Hearl hearf'J All causes having his
powerful advocacy made a distinct advance in
the estimation of theworld, and distinct" prog
ress toward triumphant success
Thus it has come about that he Is entitled to
a higher eulogy than is due to success. Of
more success, indeed, he was a conspicuous ex
ample. In Intellect he might claim a most
distinguished, place, but bis character, lies
deeper than intellect deeper than eloquence,
deener than anvthintr that can be described or
that can be seen upon the surface. The su-
preme eulogy tnat is nis aue w mat ne eievatea
political life, to the. highest point to a loftier
standard than is- had ever reached. He has be
queathed to his country a character that can
not only be made a subject for admiration and
gratitude, nut and I do nor exaggerate when'
I say It that can become an object bf reveren
tial contemplation.
A TJKITED ACCLAIM.
In the encomiums that come from every quar
ter there is a not note of dissonance- I do not
know of any statesman of my time who. had the
happlaess of receiving on removal from this
passing world the honor of approval at once so
enthusiastic, so universal and so unbroken.
'Hear, bear." Yet- none could better dis
pense with the tributes of the moment he
cause the triumphs of his life were triumphs
recorded in the advance of his country and of
its people; His name Is indelhbly written on
the annals of time and on the hearts of the
great and overspreading race to which he be
longed, whose wide extension be rejoiced to see
ina whose power and prominence be believed
to be full of promise and glory for the best in
terests of mankind.
Mr. Gladstone resumed his seat amid
much subdued cheering. Lord Hartington
referred to the noble' words ot Gladstone as
fully expressive of the veneration of the
country for the memory of Mr. Bright Jus
tice McCarthy, who, in the absence of Mr.
Parnell, spoke for the Irish party, asso
ciated their sentiments with those expressed
in the noble speech of Mr, Gladstone. He
said that the memory of the Irish people en
dured, and it carried them back to that time
when Mr. Bright championed their eanse.
He therefore. claimed the right of Ireland to
lay an immortelle upon the' great English
man's grave. Cheers.
Mr. Chamberlain spoke of his acquaint
ance with Mr. Bright for 30 years. He said
that throughout his political life Mr.
BngKt's relatjons toward hiselectors were
holding that bis services conferred an obli
gation upon xne eon jtunency.

Beblin, March 29. During a debate In

Minister of the Interior, described as offen
sive the insinuation that Prince Bismarck
attached no importance to the measure.
The Chancellor, interrupting, said he was
only prevented by other State business from
attending the sittings of the committee hav

IRELAND GAINING GROUND.

London, March' 29. The Cabinet has
decided to propose at the next session of
Parliament' a ' land -purchase scheme for
Ireland. The .measure will be similar to
the plan proposed by Mr. Chamberlain.
The Ministry has also resolved to intro
duce, in 1891 an Irish local government

Fainting of an Irish Prisoner.
Dublin, March 29. The trial of Father
MacFadden, the arrest of whom for offenses
under the crimes aet led to the killing of
Police Inspector Martin at Gwedore, was
begun to-day. While the case was in prog
ress Father MacFadden fainted, and the
court was at once adjourned.
MURDERED A PEDDLER.
A Horrible Tale of Crime from Southern
.New Jersey.
Philadelphia, March 29. What will
probably prove to he one of the most atro
cious murders ever committed in Southern
New Jerseyi - was brought to light
late "Wednesday afternoon by the dis
covery of the remains of a man float
ing on the surface of a pond nearTurner
ville, a small village in Gloucester county.
His nose had been broken and his head was
covered with frightful gashes. One gash on
the right side of the head was ten inches
long. Another deep gash was found on the
neck which partly "severed the spinal
column.
The body was very much decomposed,
and had evidently been in the water for
some time. The body was soon recognized
as that of a peddler who visited that sec
tion of the country once a month regularly,
until about three months ago, when he was
mfssed'from.his rounds. As he had always
stopped with Joseph Hillman, a young
married man living in Turnerville, sus
picion was directed toward him, and this
afternoon'Corouer Beall ordered his arrest,
and he was placed in custody.
About the time the peddler was due on
another round Hillman moved to another
house and soon astonished everybody in the
vicinity by starting ont with a peddler's
pack. He seemed to have lots of money,
and this fact was more astonishing, as he
was usually known to be without money.
The theory is that the unfortunate peddler
was murdered while asleep. Wben found
the body had a' rope tied around the waist,
which had evidently-been used to drag the
remains to the pond.

"Washington, March 29. Colonel
George A. Armes has furnished for publi
cation a card in reference to his recent
trouble wlth-Governor Beaver. He says':
"I was surprised to read the published re
ports of interviews with Governor Beaver.
They contain misstatements, 'false repre
sentations, and untruths." He then says
that he had known Governor Beaver
personally for several years; that
he met him in the Biggs
House, and after exchanging friendly
salutations with him, referred to the way he
had been treated on inauguration day.
Governor Beaver declined to state in writ
ing that he had not ordered his removal
from the procession, and started to move off,
whereupon Colonel Armes says he took the
Governor's nose in his fingers, and gently
pulling it, said: "Take that!" He had
no intention to injure him, and was moving
away when' the officer came up." The card
closes as follows:
"I have nothing to say touching my record In
the army and my character and capacity as a
citizen. Beren wounds received in action il
lustrate theformer, and those who know and
have had business relations with me can testify
to the latter. I esteem my honor and good

Washington, March 29. Lieutenant
Harry O. Bateman, who was supposed to

Deputy United Btates Marshal EusseU"
Wireman, of Magoffin county, Ky., and hisf
posse. were attacked by a band of moon
shiners in Knott county, in that State, and
a hot battle ensued. Wireman was killed
and one of his men severely wounded. It
is supposed that some of the moonshiners,
were also shot fatally. Three prisoners,'
who were in the officer's charge, effected'
their escape.
rsrxcxu, TXT.tontv to tbx distatck.1 , .
Louisville, March 29. A terrible bat
tle occurred Tuesday in Knott county, Ky.,
between United States revenue officers and
moonshiners. United States Marshal Gross,
whose office is in this city, this aiternooa
received a letter from B. S. Friend, United
States Commissioner, stationed at Preston- -burg,
Floyd county, giving full details of
the affray. The letter was dated March 27..
Tom Hollifield, W. H. Creech, Dock Fields
and D. B. Sallv, all revenue officers, cams' -intoPrestonburgon'the
night ot the 27th.:
They brought the sews of the battle of the'
morning before.
On the evening of the 25th Deputy Mar
shal Bussell Wireman and these men had
gone into Hindman, after a big raid on the
illicit still houses in Perry and Leslie
counties. They had ten mountaineers in
charge as prisoners. These they lodged
safely in the Hindman jail, where they are
still in custody.. On the morning of the.
next day, the 26th, the revenue officers,
headed by Wireman, struck out into the
hills around Hindman to make fartherar)
rests. They were all well armed. . - a
ATTACKED B7 12 DE3FEBATE MEN.
They rode to the mouth of Smith's creek,
a little stream which empties its water into
Carr's Fork of the Kentucky river. The
creek's mouth is 13 miles to the southwest
of Hindman. They had succeeded in arrest
ing J. Draughn, Jesse Adams and Jesse
Combs. While they were riding through
the woods with their prisoners they were
ambushed and fired upon by a party of 10 to
12 moonshiners at a point not far from the
mouth of Smith's creek. Wireman was shot
early in the action, and dropped from his
horse into the road, dead. The rest of the
revenue party returned the fire of the moon
shiners, who were all armed with repeating
Winchester rifles. The officers were, out
numbered, and finally retreated. It is sup-'
posed that one or two of the moonshiners'
were killed or wounded.
The officers struck out for Prestonburg
and managed to reach, there the day after
the battle, though one of them was badly,
wounded. The three prisoners whom the'
officers had in charge just before the fight
escaped. J. Draughn, one of them, is one
of the most desperate men in the mountains,
and formerly figured prominently in the
bloody Knox countv feud. The moon
shiners who did the fighting are as lawless
and dangerous a set of men as revenue offi
cers ever hunted.
WHEEE MOONSHINEBS ABOUND.
They are the same crowd who shot Mar
shal J. T. Greer last February. They,
wounded him seriously but not dangerous
ly. All of the crowd were indicted at the
February term of court here in Louisvillo.
The Knox county hills around. Hindman
are swarming with moonshiners. The.
crowd who did the killing all live near the
mouth, of Smith's creek. They operate fivo
stills in that immediate -neighborhood.
They occupy a large house together and
keep men constantly on the watch against
the revenue agents.- There are 12 stills
within ten miles of the mouth of Smith's!
creek. There are other stills on Ball's
Fork, Mace's, Lost and Onton's creek. All
the moonshiners are armed to the teeth.
This last killing will probably make them
more desperate and more determined to re-,
sist arrest Immediate efforts will be mads
to bring the desperadoes to justice.
Mr. Wireman was one of Captain Gross
most efficient and popular deputies. Ha
was absolutely fearless, and was a general
favorite about the office and among his as- ,
sociates. He was gentlemanly, but firm in
all his transactions, and the Marshal re
garded him very highly. He lived at
Salersville, Magoffin county, where he has
two interesting little daughters. His wife
is dead. Heretofore he has had
SETEBAL NABBOW ESCAPES
from the outlaws in the mountain country,
and only two months ago his guard, Bill
Steins, was killed by some unknown party
in that region while Mr. Wireman was en
forcing a warrant Captain Gross' deputies
have, during his term, met with a number
of serious difficulties, and frequently, they
have been shot at and wounded, but .the
death of Deputy Wireman is the most de
plorable casualty that has happened since
he has been in office.
Three years ago Captain Gross' deputy,
Hugh Sogers, was shot at Harlan Court
House, and lay at the point of death for
several weeks. He recovered, however, and
since that time the Marshal's deputies' have
been very fortunate. It is altogether likely'
that the Marshal and his' assistants will re
ceive instructions from Washington- to
bring the lawless men who have committed
this crime to speedy justice, and so expenss
will be spared in hunting down the assassins
of Deputy Wireman.
United States Marshal Gross this after
noon asked instructions from the Attorney
General to send a posse to the scene of the
killing. It is probable that several depu
ties will be sent out this evening," but this,
of course, depends on the order from Wash
ington.. Several deputies are in readiness
to go as soon as instructions aro received-,
