Dear Sir : 1 hereby tender you and your

following reasons :
First , That 1 do not propose now to be
associated with J. S. Stull upon said ticket
ns my colleague , particularly after it has
been brought to your attention and the at
tention of the committee that said Stull in
order to secure his election has promised
Immunity and Instructed others to promise
immunity to persons who may violate the
laws of the state of Nebraska and said charge
lias been Ignored by your committee.
D Second , That the methods of J. S. Stull In
conducting this campaign by the indiscrimi
nate UFO of money in procuring his ele-ction
to the bench , though well known to you ,
have not met with your condemnation.
Third , Though brought to your atlenllon.
you have failed lo investigate the many ami
serious charges of reputable people and citi
zens of Nemaha e-ounty , which , If true ,
should preclude even the possibility of his
elecllon to so sacred an office.
In the name of common decency I ask to be
relieved from being ussocluteel with the suiil
J. S. Stull upon the same ticket , and hereby
withdraw my nnsno from any farther con
nection with said oftlco and ask you to take
npproprial action in the promises. Kespeck

A Terrible Tragedy Knaclcd luLoulH-

Lotiisvi'.i.r : , Nov. 4. A terrible tragedy
was enacted In the western jtortlon of thli
city last night , the awful results of which
were not dlse-overed until 10 o'clock this
morning. At that hour Mrs. Mary Hruncr ,
mother of Mrs. Chnrlesll. Hrownllcld 'alled
nt the resldcne'Lj of her daughter. No ono
answered her ring nt the tlemr bell , and after
several Ineffectual attempts she went to the
window of a little one-story friuno cottage ,
raised It and ihrcw open the shutters. The
sight that met her eyes was horrible beyonel
description. In the middle of the door , open
ing between the room occupied by her daugh
ter und husband and their litllo girl , und oc
cupied by William F. Hruncr , brother
of Mrs. Charles H , Hrowntlnld , who resided
with the family , was the body of Charles H.
Hrownlleld , her daughter's husband , sus
pended by a trap attached to a lintel and
swinging to and fro. In the dark corner re
posed the body of William F. Hruncr , with
his throat cut from ear to ear. Fucing io
self-murderer , in another room , was auorwl'r
bed upon whichstiffened In their blood , were
Iho forms of his wife and child. Their heads
were almost severed from their bodies. Ho-
sieulh Hrownllold's feet lay a ru/or with
which the awful deed hud been commllted.
The bed clothing was drenched with
blood and tlio faces of Iho victims
were besmeared so they were almost
beyond recognition. On the bureau In the
parlor the following letter , tinted lliU ! ) a. m. ,
and written by the murderer In an unusually
legible hand , was found :
To all Whom It Concern : T , Charles n.
Hrownfiold. murdered my dear wife and

I killed my wife and baby because 1 was tired

In the world , nnd no ono to e-ure for them.
My cause for being tired of life is gambling.
1 killed Hruner because I didn't think him fit
to live ami now 1 will make an attempt cm sny

the fight between the dogs Paddy and Modoc ,
which was written by Thomas A. Mosier , i
reporter. In it Mr. Mosier stated that the
trainer of Modoc bore a strong rescsnblnsicc
to Pat Corrigan. This allusion evidently excited
cited the ire of Ed Corrigan , the noted horse
man nnd brother of Pat Corrigan. This
morning Mosier went Co Waldo park In tin
inloresls of the Times. In his rounds hi
came to the Corrigan string of horses am
inquired for their owner. Edward Corrigm
was pointed out to him and , uccom
panicd by a young man named Hell
Mr. Mosier walked over to when
Corrigan stood. "My name is Mosier , " he
said to the horseman , "and I represent the
Kansas City Times. " Aevording to Uell'i
slntcment Mosier had no sooner announcei
himself thnn Corrigan , who is a tall , heavj
man , struck him a fearful blow In the face
felling him to the ground. Ho then klckct
him several limes. Mosier was s-endercd un
conscious and It was some time before ho re
covered. His face was frightfully brulsei

possible ho returned to the city and is now a

Hulfour addressed a large and enthusiastic

question would remain Iho foremost problen
in the mind of everyone who took an interes
in the fortunes of his country. The questioi
was not whether Ireland was to bo governei
under her own or an English parliament , bu
whether she was to bo governed at all ii
accordance with any of these principle
which hud hlthcrlo regulated the action o
every civilized stale in the world.
The remainder of his speech was princi
pally devoted to defense of the action of th
police at Mitchellstown and attacks on Glai
stone's policy. Ho concluded by predlctin
that a steady application of tho-prcscntpolic
of the government would s-csult In the Iris

Cuii'Ano , Nov. 4. [ SpecialTelegram to the
HII : : , ] Nothing of especial interest trans
pired In or about the jail to-day. It Is , how
ever , evident that the Immediate friends and
relatives of the anarchists looked more cheer
ful thnn nt any time heretofore. Their hopes
now rest on a commutation of the death pen
alty. All of the doomed men have relatives
except Llngg , He , however , Is being visited
dally by members of the Miller family , who
came from the same place with him In the
old country. They bring him food and f.'Ojd
cheer , and it Is intimated some of the .voting
women In the family have so far an Influence
over him us lo get him to put his signature to
the petition for pardon , It Is highly proba
ble that the four anarchists , Llngg , Kngel ,
Fischer and Parsons , who have published let
ters announcing their determination to refuse
a commutation of their sentence are
not aware of what the law
Is on the subject of the pardoning power , and
may place Ihemsclves and the sheriff of this
county In nn awkward predicament should
Governor Oglesby decide at the last moment
to exercise executive clemency in the case. In
the course of conversation with Mr. George
C. Ingham , one of the prosecuting counsel
on the Irial before Judge Gary , that Ecnllo-
imm said : "Suppose the governor should
send along a commutation of the sentence
and the prisoners refuse to accept It , It Is a
question whether it would not bcconu the
duty of the sheriff to hang them after all. "
"What ! Would not the governor's com
mutation annul Iho sentence so far as the
death penalty is concerned and save them in
spilo of themselvesl"
"I think not , unless a pardon Is formally
accepted it Is null and void , Hero is what
Hishop says on the subject in his work on
'Criminal Law1 ; 'A pardon , to bo valid , must
bo delivered and , like a deed to land , uo
ceptod by the grantee. Where there is no ac
ceptance , it Is void.1 Hishop refers to the
case of the Unileil States vs Wilson reported
in 7 , Peters , ir > 0. Wilson had been indicted
foru-obbing the United Stales mail and puU
ting the life of the driver in jeopardy. High
way robbery with violence was then a capital
offense , and he was convicted and sentenced
to death. President Jackson granted him a
pardon as far as the death penalty was con
cerned , but not to include immunity from pun
ishment on other Indictments that had been
returned against him. Wilson was again
tried on another indictment charging rob
bery without the averment of violouce , nnd
pleaded guilty. The question was raised by
the court whether the president's pardon did
not carry with it immunity from further
prosecution for the same offense , although
not intended to do so. The questions in the
case were certified to the supreme court of
the United States , and Chief Justice Mar
shall , in delivering the opinion of the court ,
said : "A pardon is n deed , to the validity of
which delivery is essential nnd delivery is not
complete without acceplanco. It may then
bo rejected by the person to whom tendered ,
and if rcjetcd. wo huvo discovered no power
in the courts to force it on him. It may bo
supposed that no man , condemned to death ,
would reject a pardon , but the rule must bo
the same in capital cases as in misdemeanors.
A pardon may bo conditional ,
and the conndltion may bo more
objectionable than the punishment
inllicted by the judgments. The anarchists ,
therefore , to obtain the benefit of a i" .nmuta-
lion of their sentence , which is a conditional
pardon , must subscribe ) a formal acceptance
of it. Four of them have intimated in ad
vance that they will not do so ; but the door
of mercy may still bo open to them. Should
a commutation bo granted , and they then re
fuse to accept , ns the law requires , Sherill
Mntlson must proceed lo do his duly and re
gard the commutation in every such case us
null and void ; in other words , ho must exe
cute Iho sentence notwithstanding the gov
ernor's interference at the time fixed by the
court. "
The Governor Will Not Talk.
SriiiNOFiKin , 111 , , Nov. 4. [ Special Tele
gram to the Hii : : . ] Governor Oglesby was
Interviewed to-day upon the case of the
anarchists but ho refused to say a word.
"I might bo misunderstood , " said ho , "and
I prefer to say nothing. You need not ex *
pect anything from mo upon this subject. II
1 should say too litllo or not enough I mighl
be misunderslond or if I should say anylhiii ( :
that might bo incorrectly reported through i
misunderstanding or otherwise , there mighl

plo are Interested in this mailer and tin

I , expose them to the inspection of the pub
lie. Ono good reason which might have
been used 1ms been omitted. There are certain
tain letters among these effusions which con
lain mysterious threats and the governoi
docs not want to give them publicity. Hi
does not like sensations nor is ho willing t <
gratify a curiosity which ho considers mor
f bid. Ho fears nothing and ho prefers nithei
[ to keep locked within his own breast th <
threats of vengeance than to give them t <
the publlo prints , through which they wouh
reach his family nnd friends.
[ Press. ] It is declared that the letters ol
Engcl , Llngg , Fischer and Parsons , in whicl
they refuse to accept a commutation of sen.
lence , have not been received and It is bo
lloved that they have been kept back by the
friends of the I'ondemned men.

A Demi Anarchist.
PITTSIIUWI , Nov. 4. Yesterday , Thomas
Owens , n e'arpenter at work on a house at
Homestead , fell from the roof of the buildIng -
Ing , and broke his neck. Owens , It appears ,
came to this city about n year ago , some two
or three days after the Hnvmarknt riot at
Chicagoln a somewhat dilapidated condition ,
representing himself to bo n carpenter out
of a Job. Ono of Owens' fellow-workmen
named Pl | > or yesterday swore before Squirt )
Oeffncr In the course of the inquest , that
Owens told him ho was an anarchist. The
diseased told him ho was at the Huymarkct
riot , where ho throw the bomb. Piper had
been cautioned to keep the statement ! ! secret ,
uml for that reason ho did not tell the story
until after the death of Owens.
The singular story of the man Owens was
made the subject of an Investigation nt
Homestead this afternoon. Mr. Piper , who
worked with Owens , said Ills testimony be
fore the coroner's inquest was substantially
us reporte-d , and then went , on to tell what
Owens hud told him that ho { Owens ) , was at
the Haymarket incut Ing and had stood "close
to the man who threw the bomb. " The story
was told to Piper under n pledge of secrecy ,
which Piper kept until relieved of it by
Owens' sudden death. An examination of
this effects1 of the deceased showed In his
trunk a number of letters , ono of which was
from his sister in Chicago , warning him to
keep away from the socialists , as they had
been the cause of his trouble.
The reporters who went to Homestead this
evening Interviewed many residents of that
village and found two or three who claimed
to have knowledge of Owens' connection with
the bomb throwing. They neglected , how-
ecer , to explain why they had kept this to
themselves until now.
Tin ; Story Discredited in Chicago.
Cm. ADO , Nov. 4. The story from Pitts-
mrg With an allegeel anarchist sensation is
smiled at hero. It is full of inconsistencies
ind about the only basis thcro can bo for it is
hat the man Owens was perhaps a member
f ono of the anarchist groups and left Chicago
cage in the general exodus of those gentry
ifter the Haymarket. Michael Schwab ,
irothcr-ln-hiw of Schnaubelt , was seen at the
ail this evening and said that little reliance
. ould be placed in the story. Sehnaubclt's
only partner here was a machinist , was not
in anarchist and is btlll in this city working
at his trade.

outrageous murder will bo reckoned and the
day will not be far off when , thev will have to

WAHIM.NIITO.V , Nov. 4. [ Special Telegram

correspondent , nnd Arthur 11. Spcrry , nn
Evening Crltlo reporter , who wcra Instru-
tnontiil lust night In circulating the report
about Chluf Justle.0 Wullo receiving tin Infer
nal inauhlno from the anarchists , are held
carli In tl,00 ( ) bonds to uiiHWcr the charge of
obtaining money under false pretcnsei by
selling false Information to representatives
of the press , and they limy be Indicted for
using the United States miillH for the trans
mission of explosives , and what they thought
a capital Joke , and , as Hopkins put It this
afternoon , "A good fake , " promises to mnko
them Bcrlous trouble. Hopkins says Spcrry
Is In no way responsible , as ho ( Hopkins ) ,
made and sent the Imitation machine himself
and sold the stories to correspondents. Hut
General Hoyntou and Ilobcrt Wynne , of the
Cincinnati Commercial-Gazelle , who Invested
$5 for the story , do not hold Hopkins resjion-
slblo and bellevo that Spcrry is an accom
plice. It has been demonstrated that one of
the Ingredients of the composition In the box
wu's gunpowder , and although it was damp
ened and probably beyond the condition when
It could bo cxoloded at Justice Waite's rcsl-
denco , It was an explosive when It was deposited -
posited In the malls and that ono constitutes
penitentiary offense. There is only ono
: iopo left for Hopkins by which ho can
scapo fievero punishment and that lies in
cnlency upon the part of the prosecuting
fllcers and newspaper correspondents who
ivcre misled by his statements. The latter
are not likely to bo partial with him. A num
ber of times ho has circulated false but phius-
blo stories and made much trouble for them ,
lis statements last night were not believed
ill they were corroborated by Chief Justice
Waitc. Hopkins is not considered u legiti-
nato correspondent and has no standing on
Newspaper Uow. During the early part of
he last session of congress bo was expelled
'rom the reporters gallery for misreprcsen-
atlon to the congressional press committee.
Ho made a certificate that ho was the accred
ited correspondent of a newspaper , when , in
fact , ho was never known in that ofllce.
A chemist examined the package this after
noon and found that Hopkins statement as
to its contents was substantially correct ex
cel ) ! as to the percussion caps , which ho said
were exploded , but which the chemist found
n now. The postal authorities say there

Indian Lanel Allotments.
WASHINGTON , Nov 4. [ Special Telegram
to the Ben.In the law enacted at the last
session of congress providing for allotments
of lands In severally to certain Indians It is
directed that each head of a family shall
have n quarter section , each single person
over eighteen years of ago one-eighth sec
tion , each orphan under eighteen one-eighth ,
etc. The instructions given to the agents to
allot lands direct that the phrase "Head ol
family" means husband and father of a fam
ily , but it is found that many Indians have
each several wives and each of them a large
family , so that in these cases large numbers
of persons would bo assigned but one quarter
section. The department of the interior
found it necessary to pass upon the legality
of Indian marriage and the secretary decided
that the first should bo the legal wife and
such other wives ns have no children
should bo classed as single persons over
eighteen years old , nnd such other wives as
have children should bo considered as heads
of families nnd also have ICO acres. This
construction brought to the city ex-Governor
Isaac Sharp , of Kansas , attorney for many
trldes of Indians , who yesterday suggested to
the secretary the humiliating position in
which this interpretation placesthososquaws
who were decided to bo the only true wives ,
while concubines , who are not mothers , were
to receive eighty acres and these who arc
mothers are to receive KM ) acres. The lawful
were to receive nothing. Mr. Sharp thinks
the phrase "Head of family" was intended
to mean the father and mother of each
family , for. if otherwise , the law would saj
the head of each family instead of each heail
of family. The secretary was appalled nl
this revelation and asked Mr. Sharp to pul
his suggestions in writing. Governor Shuri
says the mistuko is chargeable to the incom
petents of the Indian ofilco.

A Knnuck Protest On Chamberlain.
Toito.NTO , Nov. 4. The Globe , which DBS
recently been protesting very vigorously
against the appointment of Joseph Chamber
lain as a member of the fisheries commission ,
comes out to-day in another strong editorial
protesting against Chamberlain serving on ,
the commission and says there is no doubt
that his work on it will involve Canada In
tremendous risks. The alternative of the ac
ceptance of Mr. Bayard's proposals will bo
non-Intercourse , commercial reprisals and
probably war. The Globe says the case U
one iu which the United States has compar
atively little to fear. Great Hritaln ha to
fear u largo loss of trade , large expenditure
of money and the shedding of British blood ,
but not invasion. Canada has everything to
fear , for there would be the battle ground.
This would bo the main co.st and their young
men would furnish the bulk of the repast for
the carriou crow. The paper then goes on to
advocate that unrestricted reciprocity is
perfectly honorable method of settling tha
dispute.
