Two thibcs of the cattle ranches in

The North American says, the
Democratic argument made use of at
this time to influence the colored
vote is that the Republicans refused
to nominate a negro candidate for
Vice President or to appoint a color

which it would follow that the Dem
ocrats ought to no-uinate a negro
candidate for Vice President in order
to be consistent.

The North American expresses its
opinion of the situation of the color
ed people, in a statement relative to
their course of action in Iowa, as fol
lows: The colored people of Iowa are so
much alarmed at the abrogation of
the Civil Rights bill, or rather of its
first two sections, that they are peti
tioning the State Legislature to come
to the rescue by turning the clauses
which the Supreme Court has avoid
ed into a local statute. If the Iowa
legislators see fit to act upon that
suggestion, no one outside of the
State will have any reason to com
plain, but at the same time it may be
doubted whether the negroes are well
advised in making the demand. It
is not good policy for them to draw
attention to their inferiority in this
or any other way. They had much
better show an independent spirit,
and instead of asking for special pro
tection on account of their color, be
content to stand upon their rights as
men and citizens. They are foolish
to admit that they need anything
more than the legal equality which
they have already secured.
A Pistol at a Wedding.
A MINISTER FORCED TO OFFICIATE.
One of the Members of the Notorious
Welsh Mountain Gang Marrying
a Deaf and Dumb Girl Jin
Exciting Chase After
the Outlaw.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Lebakos, Pa., October 28.
"Professor Jake" Bonsall, the
young desperado and highwayman
who became the commander of the
notorious Welsh Mountain gang of
land pirates after Ike Buzzard was
deposed and locked in Lancaster
Jail a few months ago, has just placed
the capshcaf on his criminal record
in Berks, Lancaster and Lebanon
counties by forcing a minister, at the
point of a pistol, to marry him to
Miss Lydia McComas Kline, the
young, rich, pretty and deaf and
dumb niece of Jacob V. Fletterman,
of Norwegian township. The en
forced marriage ceremony was per
formed on Thursday last in the house
of an ignorant German farm hand
named Andrew Bock, who lives on
the road between Schaefferstown, in
Lebanon, and Cocalico, in Lancaster
counties. On Friday the girl disap
peared from her uncle's house, and
yesterday Bonsall and a tramp called
"Horse"' Spiegle were brought to
bay by Constable Schwartz, Mr. Fet
terman and two other men, in Kline's
woods, near the spurs of the moun
tains, near Woiuelsdorf. Both sides
engaged in pistol practice at long
range and when the constable's posse
emptied their revolvers aad Bonsall
did not surrender, they retreated,
leaving the representative of the
Welsh Mountain gang in possession
of the bloodless field.
SEPARATING A PAIR OF LOVERS.
Bonsall is the son of a Berks coun
ty f;irmer and is not more than thir
ty years old. Three years ago he
taught school in Norwegian town
ship, and during the winter boarded
with Mr. Fletterman, whose daugh
ter Addie he became iufatuated with
and wanted to marry. Fitt terman
matte some inquiries about Bonsall,
and learning that he wns dissipated
and had been arrested in Reading for
giuToting and robbing a drunken
man he ordered him out of the house.
He also endeavored to have him re
moved from his position as teacher
of the district school, but failed.
Bonsall then went to board at a
neighboring farm aud kept up a se
cret correspondence with Miss Flet
terman, Miss Kline, who was at that
time sixteen years of age, carrying
the letters between the separated
lovers. Miss Kline is an orphan and
has for eleven years lived with her
uncle, who holds in trust for her 8:53,-
000, which is her share of her fath
er's estate. She is a blonde and very
pretty, and, although deaf and dumb,
has had several offers of marriage.
When Bonsall learned that she was
an heiresi he at once began making
love to her, and although he is nei
ther handsome nor intelligent she
fell in love with him ami, in order to
keep her rival cousin out of the field,
exposed her letters to Mr. Fletter
man. He at once sent his daughter
to Philadelphia, where she still lives.
Before the school term ended Bon
sall was accused of stealing a gold
watch from Henry W. Zulieh. Con
stable Hoffman then attempted to ar
rest "The Professor," who, in the
school room, in the presence of his
pupils, drew a revolver, 6hot the ofll
cer through the shoulder, dashed out
of the house, jumped into the Con
stable's sulky and drove off. He
went West and did not appear in this
part of Pennsylvania until last spring,
after Zulich was dead. Shortly af
ter that he was arrested in Bethle
hem for robbery. The charge was
not proved, and in Eastou a few days
later "The Professor" stabbed a
tramp called "Dublin Dan," with
whom he quarreled over the division
of the proceeds of a robbery. He
spent the summer travelling about
Lebanon, Berks and Lancaster coun
ties and although the police authori
ties have suspected hiiu of scores of
offenses they were unable to fasten
any of the crimes upon him. He
made his headquarters while in' the
Welsh Mountains with the FreJigs,
Strouses and other families connect
ed with the Buzzards.
the marriage.
Last Thursday morning Miss
Kline left her uncle's house, saying
that she intended to pay a visit to a
girl friend who lived half a mile off.
That afternoon, as the Rev. Andrew
J. Hoe-chler was driving from Schaef
ferstown to Cocalico, he overtook.
Bonsall, whom he did not know. At
his invitation Bonsall got into the
carriage. They had not gone one
hundred yards together before Bon
sail grabbed the hues, pulled the
horse to a standstill and excitedly
asked :
"Are you a preacher ?"
The astounded minister replied,
"Yes."
"Then yon are the man I'm look
ing for. I was just making for Co
calico when you met with me."
With that he deliberately turned
the horse around towards Schaeffers
town. Mr. Hoeehler objected, on
the ground that he had business to
attend to and could not go back.
"You must go," said Bonsall.
"This is business, and if you make
any fu6S there will be trouble." Then
he told the minister that two miles
back there was a dying man who
wanted to make a confession that
would release an innocent man from
the penitentiary. They drove two
miles, got out and walked half a mile
across the fields to the cabin of Bock.
Bonsall went in without and when
Mr. Hoeehler euteree "The Profes
sor" closed and bolted the door.
Bock, who was intoxicated, went in
to a back room and soon returned
with Miss Kline, who was crying.
"Now," said Bonsall, taking the
weeping girl by the hand and ad
dressing the minister, "you might as
well know that I lied to you. I want
you to marry this woman and me.
Go ahead. Don't waste any time."
The minister hesitated and spoke
to the gill She looked at Bonsall,
who 6aid : "She can neither talk nor
hear."
"I refuse to marry you," 6aid Mr.
Hoeehler.
"But you must," exclaimed Bon
sail, drawing a revolver and cocking
it "You think 6he doesn't want to
marry me, I suppose?"
Taking a note-book from his pock
et Bonsall wrote : "This man does
not think you want to marry me,"
and showed it to the girL
She instantly took the pencil and
underneath the query wrote: "Oh,
yes, I love him and must marry him
at once ; now."
The minister then made them hus
band and wife, but it was not until
the last word was spoken that the
groom put up his revolver. The
girl gave the minister $5, and he
drove away to tell his strange story.
On Friday he learned who the girl's
uncle was and went there to inquire
whether the marriage was known to
him. Mr. Fletterman was not at
home and Mr. Hoeehler went away,
promising to return in the evening.
sEabchcio for the bridegroom.
In the meantime Miss Kline, who
had returned home after her mar
riage on Thursday afternoon, fled
from her ancle's house, taking with
her all her jewelry and $165. When
Mr. Fletterman heard the minister's
story that evening and learned of his
niece's elopement he consulted the
authorities and learned that three
warrants charging "The Professor"
with robbery had been issued in Leb
anon earlier in the week. The story
of Miss Kline's marriage spread rap
idly. She and Bonsall were seen
near Woiuelsdorf in a wagon on Fri
day night, and on Saturday Mr. Flet
terman, Constable Schwartz and two
other men, who were promised $50
if "The Professor" was captured with
their assistance, started in pursuit.
No further trace of the missing girl
could be found, but the pursuing
party learned that Bonsall and a vag
abond, known as "Horse" Spiegle,
had been in Womelsdorf that day.
Their trail was found, and after a
chase of four miles Bonsall and Spie
gle stopped, and the pursuers saw
"llie i roiessor draw his pistol and
covered himself with a tree. The
Constable's party halted and unliaib-
ered their firearms. Between thirty
and forty shots were fired and then
the official party retreated in cood
order. Bonsall is now in the moun
tains, and it will be difficult to effect
his capture. Mr. Fletterman said
to-Jay that Le would lodge "The
Professor" in the jail if :t costSl.OiK)
to do it It is the general impres
sion here that before taking to the
mountains Bonsall sent his wife to
Philadelphia, where he intends to join
her as soon as he can elude the coun

The New York World give3 the
following particulars of the shooting
of Johnson L Lvnch, a well known
Uticala A-yer, bvE M. Rowell, of Bita-
via, N. 1., on Tuesday night October
30th. Lynch was infatuated with
Rowcll's youug and beautiful wife,
and although frequently warned that
the uoiditcss of Ins visits would sure
ly expose him to danger, he assumed
the risks They were formerly neigh
bors in Utiea.
When Rowell left home early on
Monday morning, telling his wife
that ho was going West on a busi
ness trip, he proceeded directly to
the Nationil Hotel, opposite the Cen
tral Dep t where he remained in so
clnsion until a few minutes before G
o'clock on Tuesday evening, at which
time the train was due from Utioa
upon which Lynch arrived. Mrs.
Rowell was at the depot to meet
Lynch. Rowell hastened to his home,
which was vacant his children Lav
ing been sent by the wife to visit a
friend. . Rowell secreted himself and
wutch'.'d Mrs. Rowell and Lynch en
tci the house. Th?y ate supper and
then repaired to her rocm.
Shortly afterward Rowell emerged
from his hiding place, and, looking
into the sleeping-room, was crazed at
what ho saw, and fired tvo shots in
rapid succession. One of the bullets
passed between the faces of Mrs.
Rowell and Lynch, and lodged in the
wall. It was so well aimed that their
faces were discolored by powder, the
ball grazing Mrs. Rowell's scalp. The
second bujlet was buried in the pil
low. Lvnch fled from the room aud
rushed down stairs. As he descend.
ed Rowell fired two more shots, one
of which took effect in Lynch's back,
passing through his right lung and
penetrating the aorta near the base
of the heart lodging in the muscles
of his chest. It caused instant death.
When the officers approached Row
ell he submitted quietly to arrest.
After he had put on his overcoat and
hat he turned to his wife and said :
"Well, Jennie, I have got to go to
jail. Good-by ! Won't you kiss me
before I go !"
His voice was tender and compas
sionate, and her reply was breathed
between sobs and sighs.
Oh ! how can II Oh ! how can
I, after doing such an act V she pite
ously asked.
His wife did not kiss him, and he
accompanied the officers to the Jus
tice's office and thence to the jail,
having been committed for murder
in the first degree.
Two letters from Mrs. Rowell were
found in Lynch's pockets. The first,
written a week ago to-day, began
;Dearest John,"and ended as follows:
I want to see you so very much.
Have lots to tell you. Will drop you
a line when R. goes, and perhaps you
can arrange to come here. I trust
we shall see each other soon. With
a world of love, I remain your sin
cere friend. Jessie.
The second note was written on
Monday afternoon, and is as follows:
I am alone. R went away this
morning. He will be absent two
weeks or 1-mger. If agreeable to you
I should be glad to see you some ev
ening this week, say Thursday or
Friday. Can you not get here at G
aud come up to tea soon af terward ?
Will try and have the chicks in dream
land at 7. Let me hear from you
soon. Will look for a letter on Wed
nesday. Affectionately yours,
Jessie L.
Lynch was a large man, handsome
ly dressed, and wore considerable
jewelry, including a fine gold watch
and chain and diamond collar but
ton. Rowell is a small man, and is some
what given to melancholy.' Mrs
Rowell is a blonde.
While the Coroner was making an
examination of Lynch's body Mrs.
Rowell remained up-stairs, sobbing
and crying and giving vent to her
expressions of grief. "Oh, my God !"
she cried, "why did he do it f What
a terrible disgrace!" were the oft
repeated sentences that reached the
ears of those below. Mrs. Rowell s
grief seemed to be more on account
of her paramour than her outraged
husband. "Why didn't he pound
him and kick him," she is represent
ed to have said, "as other husbands
would do, instead of killing him t"
Later in the evening Mrs. Rowell
was taken to the house of a friend,
where her children were, suffering
greatly from nervous prostration.
