THE- TEIALS OF A POSTMASTER. -Almost Killed and Then Arrested for an Unheard-of Crime. AS ASTODXDIXG STOKI FE02I FLORIDA nrrciAL tei.eor.im to tb dtspatch.i Xew Yoke, Feb. 15. Fred. D. Peer, of the United States Secret Service, has concluded his investigation of a remarkable Case in Hamilton county, Florida, the de tails of which indicate that "Darkest America" is located in that section and no where else. If it was not lor documentary evidence that Mr. Peer has secured and brought back with him, it would not be be lieved that such a crime could be committed in a civilized country. The chief features of the story involve the attempted assassination of a postmaster by a boy 18 years of ace, a plot hatched later to get rid of the postmaster and secure bis office, by causing his arrest on a spurious document, charging him with "muldultery ana malfeasance of public favor," the con fiscation of the postoffice and the appoint ment of a new postmaster by a so-called de tective, whose authority came from a bogus selective agency in Kansas. A Very Strance Document. Of course there is no such offense as "mul dultery," and no such word in the English language, but the document upon which the arrest was made it cannot be called a war rant set forth in ridiculous phraseology that it is "one of the unpardonable crimes of this country," and the bogus officer is com manded to "proceed forthwith, and immedi ately, es instants, in the name of the State of 3vanas and ihe lovers of peace and har mony universally, to the town of "White Springs, captute, seize and arrest and strongly hold the said C. L. Morrison." "tThis document was sizned. "John L. Du Xaney, Chief Detective Kansas Bureau, "United States, North America," and was witnessed by "Don Quixote." By virtue o! this authority, the alleged detective arrested the postmaster, hanti- cufled him, dragged him through the streets, ifollowed by his terrified wife, and finally Mocked him up in a room in a house, unere ihe left him, tied securely to a bed. The whole story reads more like a phan tasma thin a cold record of facts. The vic 'tim of this extraordinary outrage is C. L. Morrison, a Union soldier, and the scene is laid on the Suwance llivcr, at "White Springs, Fla. Some years ago Morrison went South to make his home there, taking his family with him. He was a very strong Republican, and as political sentiment was at a high tension in White Springs, he had some acrimonious debates with his Demo cratic neighbors. Morrison was not very discreet in his utterances, not, perhaps, ap preciating the intensity of political feeling in the community, and it was not long until he was looked upon as a very obnoxious cit izen. He was frequently threatened, and in March, 1688, a boy named Cone, 18 years of age. stepped up behind him and fired a bul let into his skull. ?Iorrlon Drops the Case. Morrison had a close call for his life, but lie pulled through. "While he was verv low, liis wife procured a warrant for young Cone's arrest, and he was locked up for trial. Mor rison got well, and yielding to the entreaty of the boy's parents and their friends, and on account, too, of the age of his assailant, be consented to drop the case Matters went along in "White Springs without much friction until President Harrison appointed Morrison postmaster. Then there was a general breaking out of the old sores. It is a part of the record of the case in the United States Court at Jacksonville, where it will soon come up for trial, that certain citizens entered into a conspiracy to drive the new postmaster out of the town for no other reason than that his politics were objectionable to them. The names of these persons are Long, Paxton, Cone. Lewis, Skippworth, Morgan and Gulliams. It is in this plot that the bogus detective figures, with the absurd document, alleging "mul dultery," issued by the Kansas Detective Bureau. Tnis document not only set lorth and charged the crimes, as above, but it also gave to the detective power to ap point a new postmaster. "We will," says the document, "leave the appointment of Morrison's successor to your good judgment, and feel sure that vou will not select anyone ho is unworthy." Strict Secrecj Is Enjoined. It concludes: "You know that upon your Success in this matter depends your reputa tion as a detective, and unless your duty is performed immediately we will order your badge and commission taken from you. By order of the department from Washington, this day received." And then follow the signatures of DuLaney, Chief Detective, and witness "Don Quixote." A supple mental document, signed and witnessed by the same, enjoins him to strict secrecy "say nothing to nobody." The new-fledged detective who was in trusted with this delicate business was Phil lip H. Lewis, and it appears that he had sent J5 to the detective agencv in Wichita, Kan., and been dulv commissioned by that concern. Whether the document upon which be afterward arrested Morrison actually came from the Kansas agency is not at pres ent known. The supposition is that it was trumped up in White Springs. Lewis swore in Lem P. Morgan, of Marion, Fla., as an assistant, and O. L. Paxton, a notary public, of White Springs, affixed his notar ial seal to the certificate of appointment, hence Notary Paxton has recently been in dicted alone with the other alleged conspir ators. The story now goes back to Postmaster Morrison, who had been arrested by Lewis and his assistant, Morgan. These two bogus officers took Morrison to L3ke City, a neighboring town, where they locked him up, stating to Postmaster Busb, of that place, and others that Morrison had com mitted "muldultery and malfeasance of public favor," which were unpardonable crimes in this country, and that in arresting him they had done a great thing for society. The Detectl e Levy Tribute. Postmaster Bush saw there was something decidedly wrong in the proceedings, and for the interest he took in the matter the two detectives also locked him up. Then they proceeded about the town demanding cigars and whisky ia the name of the United States Government, and were finally locked up themselves for disorderly conduct. The postmasters icre released, and wbeu Morri son got back home he ounu the postoffice had been removed into Notary Paxton's store and a man named J. H. Long installed as postmaster. Long had been appointed by Detective Lewis on the strength of the Kansas docu ment, and the certificate of appointment was witnessed again before Notary O. L. Pax ton. Long had taken an oath to support the Constitution and Government of the United States, which had likewise been sworn to be'ore Paxton. Morrison has again been arrested by the recular State officers on a charge o. com pounding a felony for failing to prosecute the boy Cone, who had attempted to kill him. He was refused bail until Chief Post office Inspector Sbarpe, of the Chattanooga district, arrived on tbe scene, when he was promply released upon a bond, which had previously been declined. Fred D. Peer was sent from the Postoffice Department at "Washington by Chief Inspector Bathbone to investigate the case, and upon the evi dence he secured, including the bozus docu ments, all the perpitrjinrs of tiiis extrjonli nary outrage have been arrested and are now awaiting trial. Hon. S. ETKerchevol, of the Department of Justice, will assist tbe local United State Attorney in the prosecution of the case. In all the strange cases which have come before the Department of Justice of the United States this is without a parallel. SUNDAY'S DISPATCH.

TELEGRAM TO THB DISTATCILI New York, Feb. IB. Bocca Lamar and Innocenzia Jula, tailors, employed by Haas Brothers, were set upon by six striking Italians in front of Jula's house as they were going to work this morning. The six men, who had been lying in ambush in an alley near Jula's house, crept up behind them, and drawing clubs four feet long and as thick as a man's wrirt from under their coats, began, without uttering a word, to beat tbe union men over the head and arms. Jula and Lamar, who were unarmed, recog nized Louis Barato and Antonio Itizzo, for merly workmen in Haas Brothers' shop. The men assailed tried to shield them selves by holding up the half-made garment they were carrying, but the clubs beat their arms down. Lamar remembered suddenly that he had a pair of tailor's shears about a foot long in the clothing, and be managed to get hold of them and made horizontal sweeps with them in front of him. He tore Paralto's abdomen with tbe points. Peralto fell to the sidewalk with a groan, and his five companions took to their heels. Jula was arrested, but was discharged. Lamar could not be found. Peralto is in St, Yin cent's Hospital. THE GRIP IN THE OBIENT. Influenza and Anotlier Epidemic Troubling the Mongolian. San Fbancisco, Feb. 15.

ANSWERS FE0MKINE DEMOCRATS. Four Are Against Grover, Three Dodge and Two Stand by Him. TILLMAN IS PAETICDLAKLT EAD1CAL Cincinnati, Feb. 15. In response to telegraphic requests for their opinions of Ex-President Cleveland's stand on the silver question, Democratic Governors in the "West and South wired the Enquirer as follows: Governor Campbell, of Ohio. Columbus, O., Feb. 14. Beplying to your message, I must say that to intelli gently and fully convey my opinion of Mr. Cleveland's position upon the free coinage of silver would require more time than I can spare this afternoon, and more space in your paper than you would expect me to occupy. I may add that I commend the frankness and positiveness with which he expresses himself. James E. Campbell. Governor Eagle, of Arkansas. Little Kock, Feb. 14. Believe Cleve land's position on the silver question will defeat him for the Democratic nomination in 1892. James P. Eagle. Governor Pennoycr, of Oregon. PORTLAND.Feb. 14. You ask my opinion of Cleveland's position on silver. The great masses of the Democratic party in the United States favor the free coinage of sil ver. Mr. Cleveland opposes it. Mahomet refuses to come to the mountain, and it is absolutely certain that the mountain will not go to Mahomet. Sylvester Pennoyeb. Governor Fleming, of TVest Virginia. Charleston. "W. Va., Feb. 14. No fault can be found with Cleveland's courage of conviction. I do not think "West Virginia is with him on the silver question. A- B. Flemirg. Governor Fleming, of Florida. Tallahassee. Feb. 14. Havenotgiven the silver question such study as to care to express an opinion. F. P. Fleming, Governor Feck, of Wisconsin. Madison, Feb. 14. I consider Mr. Cleve land's position on the silver question sound. Geo. W. Peck. Governor Bojd, of Nebraska. Lincoln, Feb. 14. It may cost him the Presidency in 1892, but I doubt it. I ad mire tbe man because of his consistency. He has the courage of his convictions. James . Boyd. Governor Winans, of Michigan. Lansing, Mich., Feb. 14. I consider Mr. Cleveland's silver letter as equivalent to declining the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. Edwin B. Winans. Governor Tillman, ot South Carolina. Columbia, S. C, Feb. 13. Governor Tillman, when asked for his opinion of the probable effect of Cleveland's anti-silver letter on his Presidental aspirations, spoke as follows: "Mr. Cleveland's letter does and ought to take him out of the field as a Democratic candidate for President. More harm results to the Soutb and West from the financial policy of the Government than from all other causes combined, and until we have a larger circulating medium, based on a bi-mctallic standard, the producing classes of the country will find themselves between the upper and nether millstones. The Alliance can not and will not, in my judgment, support Mr. Cleveland or any other man, as long as his financial policy is in sympathy with Wall street, and in the interest of Eastern capitalists and monopo lists. FOOLISH WOMEN. Why Will They Be So Thoughtless and Care less Even About Matters Which Concern Their Beauty. Tbe plainest features become nretty when clothed with a fresh, velvety skin. It is in tho power of cvory woman to have a soft, fine skin, tbus adding much to bcr charms, if she trill de vote a little time and care to ber toilet. It should be a duty as well as a pleasure to every woman to enhance her pott ers of attractive ness. So says the highest authority in London. But nothing can be more absurd than for any lady to try and be beautiful simply by powdering tbe face, or applying cream or ointment. These things are necessary, it is true; but something else is more important. Good refreshing sleep. Warm circulating blood which never permits cold feet or blue noses. These things make beauty quicker than any ponders or lotions can. But, my lady reader says, how can this be done? Keep the blood moving by some gentle stimulant, and for this purpose nothing is equal to pure whiskey. Hot tho whiskey one commonly hears of; not tbe questionable kind that is drunk, by gross men in grosser places, but something pure, palatable and pleasing. This is precisely what Duffy's Pure Malt Whis key is and what has made it so immeasureably popular. Tbe best doctors in the land pre scribe it. The finest scientists endorse it. In it all those qualities are found which make it a great friend to women. It relieves tho suffer ings to which they are so subjected and coun teracts the wearing effects which so often cause women to crow old prematurely. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey will, taken with a little water, tone up the system and replace langor and weakness with brightness aud vigor. It is being used by the leadiDg ladles of tbe land. But be sure and secure the genuine and take only Duffy's. k Used in hosnitals: indorsed hv nhrsl. cians, and sold everywhere at $i 50 per full quart. " fel5-101-MWP PATENTS. O. D.
