the Figures of the Department of ^iculture Are Much Official as .0se of the Dureau of Statists—Inirtunt Decision to 15e Ilauded Down

tlie Supreme Court.

Asuini ;ton, April 22. — Secretary 4m wits yesterday shown the charge te Washington dispatch to the New !k Tribune of Friday, that he hadin- : 1 the statistics of pork exported to ■any, as his figures do not correjgl to the official figures of the buj of statistics of the treiusurv departit, and show a much greater aggrot'than is given by that bureau. Secrj- Morton said, in reply, that,the res of the department of agriculture just as much official figures as those me bureau of statistics, and that conung the exports of pork to countries liriug certificates of inspection, the lectors of the bureau of animal inhave no opportunity to obtain ex ict figures, which is not shared by other department of the govern-

Cmi.e of Ilincrepancy.

[ do not pretend to know,” he added, i'w the figures of the bureau of statis!i aiv made up, btft as some of the inited pork is shipped to Germany by r pf Holland, Belgium and other utries, it is possible that the disorep7 arises from this pork being credto these countries instead of to the

atry of ultimate destination,

rhe department of agriculture not r has a complete list of all the shipits, showing the shipper in thiscouu- “ and the consignees, and covering entire amount of pork referred to in ^statistics given out, but it now ap'rs that the exports for March have u. larger than for any previous ith. The total exports of microscoply inspected pork covered by the ificates issued during the mouth of rob is 7,.i2!t,M2 pounds, of which :7,044 pounds was destined for Germ, as compared with 5,22!*,d80 Uds shipped to that country during TOary and 4,(122,284 during January. i pin New York Tribune will find by jvence to a letter written by General B. Franklin, commissioner general he Paris exposition, Oct. 1(>, 1889, t its editor Mr. Whitelaw Reid stated i the small number of pork raisers in nci should not require the whole nai to pay larger’price for so important tttiele of food as pork merely for

•t Important Cane He for© Supremo Court Barring Income Tax Cases. Washington, April 22.—It is gener- ’ believed that the United States sume court will, before the adjournatlof the present term, render a deon in the case involving the validity ori igu judgments in courts of this ntoy. Barring the question of a roring in the income tax cases, this is '«ily the most important matter y b' fore the court, and the fact that withstanding the cases were argued Hng tho term of 1898-’94 and still re^n undecided, would appear to iudij tliat the members of the court have omdered difficulties in dealing with m. There are two of these cases, the points involved are so much :e that a decision iu one will in all babdity be equal to a decision in the er. The first of the cases is that of Mel ,T. Ritchie vs. James D. Mcllin, and is an appeal from the decisTof the United States circuit court ,. tini northern district of Ohio, af- ' ting the judgment of a Canadian rti in MeMullin’s behalf, against jhin; the second that of Henry Hiland others vs. Gustave B, Guyot, ntlie United States circuit court for M fouthern district of New York, rming a decision against Hilton & bey , successors to A.

Moody called upon his audience of 8,000 Christians to pray fervently that the Hood gates might be opened. This was in the afternoon Sunday. Last night whim tho tabernacle was crowded by lO.otN people from Fort Worth and surrounding cities Mr. Moody’ announced that word had come from several points that rain had fallen. A few minutes later, the storm burst on Fort Worth and torrents of rain fell. Then Mr. Moody gave thanks to God and called upon the congregation to join iu singing “Coronation” and “All hail the power of Jesus name, let angels prostrate fall.” The song had surged forth from 10,000 voices, when a cracking noise was heard and then the roof sank and the rafters gave way and the heavy timbers and boards covered with tar and gravel came down on a portion of the congregation. There ' was a panic. Scores upon scores of women fainted, some men lost their heads and piled pell mell over those near them. Mr. Moody grasped the situation and, moving to the middle of tho platform lifted both hands to heaven moving his arms slowly two and fro. His attitude and coolness stopped the panic and men began to go to work to rescue those in danger. A drenching rain was falling, but they worked hard and the wounded were soon taken out and carried to their homes or to the houses nearby. The casualties: J. V. Ingrahm, cut on head and chest, arm hurt, internal injuries; will die. Will J. Parsley, left leg crushed, back injured; seriously hurt. Mrs. Mary Murphy, cut on head and left arm.

Last night news reachedJGreenville of the brutal murder near Butler, in that county, of Watts Murphy, a popular youug white map, by the negroes. Murphy was a prominent young farmer, being a nephew of the late Governor Watts of this city. After murdering him the negroes placed his body in a brush heap and burned the heap. The debris was examined and the teeth, liver and heart of the victim were found, the balance of the body had been consumed. An investigation was instituted. Three negroes were arrested. Finally yesterday one of the negroes gave way and confessed the crime, implicating two other negro men and two women. The officers secured and were closely guarding the prisoners when last heard of. The report lasr night does not give the details of how the mob secured the murderers, except that they were taken by force. A telegram from Greenville confirms the story.

Desperate Struggle With fho Human Fiend, Who Beats Her With a Club, Lacerates Her Flesh and Tears Her Clothing—Frightened Away Before Accomplishing His Purpose. Frederick, Md., April 22.—Mrs. Thomas Butts, a highly respected farmer’s wife, at Broad Run, 15 miles from Frederick, was brutally assaulted by Frank Winterchief, a burly IS-year-old negro, who works on the farm of Columbus O’Donnell, near Petersville. Although he failed to accomplish his purpose, Mrs. Butts was most fiendishly dealt with. She attended mass at St. Mary’s Catholic church, four miles from her home, and was seen returning when the negro, who had been seen following here, overtook her on the road, and armed with a club, seized her, threw her to the ground and dragged her toward the bushes. She screamed for help and by superhuman efforts threw off her assailant and sprang to her feet. Three times he threw her to tho ground. In the struggle he jammed his Huger up her nostrils, tearing open her clothes, scratching and bruising her flesh and throwing her skirts over her head. Frightened before accomplishing his purpose, he sprang up and fled. Capture<l and Jailed. Peter Hemp and David Majaha, who ! heard tho screams, saw the negro running and started in hot pursuit. The route lay toward the mountains. When, after a chase of four miles, and after firing two shots at him, the negro | halted and surrendered. In the meantime Mrs. Butts made her way to a 1 farmhouse. On their return from the mountain with the negro, his captors were escorted by a mob who demanded the surrender of the man, that they might take him to the woods and hang him. Hemp and Majaha refused to give him up. and at the point of their drawn revolvers brought Winterchief safely to Frederick. MYSTERIOUS MURDER. Deuel Hodiett of Three Young Kaiichinen Found In n Luke. Salt Lake City, April 22.—The mystery surrounding the murder of three young men who lived in the vicinity ot Utah lake, near Lehi, Utah, is gradual- ' ly being cleared up. Albert Hay, An- j drew Johnson and Alfred Neilson had j been living at Pelican Point for some ' time but were ejected about two mouths ago on a suit brought by Oliver Slade. The three men were missed some time | ago, and on Monday last the body of Hayes was found ne;ir the lake shore. Death had b ■ :i caused by two gunshot wounds. Lute in April the bodies of Johnson and Nii'Liui were found. The bodies presented a sickening sight. The murders probably occurred iu February. The murdered men were all cousins and were running a stock business on a ranch. Suspicion, it is said, points to H. H. Hayes, stepfather of one of the murdered men, and a son of his who is missing. Other theories are advanced, but have no motive to support them. The coroner’s jury examined the bodies yesterday and the investigation is being continued at Lehi today. The excitement runs high, especially among the ranchmen in the vicinity of the murders. Some arrests are expected during the day. KILLING ALL THE GAME?

M., April 22.—Deputy Sheriff Tom Drum is circulating a petition along the Atlantic and Pacific railroad to the secretary of the interior to suppress Indian wanderers from the reservations of northern Arizona. Is is claimed that the red men are devasting that part of the country of game iu direct violation of laws of the territory and without the consent of the Indian agent. One instance is cited where some Navajoes went into the Mogollou mountains last November and remained until January killing 2?(i deer, 115 turk- ! eys aud an untold amount of small game. | The petitions state that when game is scarce the Indians do not hesitate to ap- { propriate the ranch cattle.

Minirttrr Tlmruton'# Cour#e Upheld by the Ofilcial# of Hawaii. San Francisco, April 22.—The steamer Australia arrived Saturday bringing the following advices from Honolulu under date of April 13: Minister Thurston returned from Washington this morning. Soon aftei his arrival he was closeted with Minister Hatch. The latter official, in an interview with the correspondent, stated that Mr. Thurston had not been recalled. As far as he knew, the American minister had not received any notification of recall, or at least he had not intimated to the government that he hail, up to the time of the departure of th ■ steamer. Minister Hatch defends Mr. Thurston’s course while at Washington, ami is confident that ho was not guilty of any breach of diplomatic propriety. He stated that Minister Thurston had not been entrusted with any communications iu regard to the trial of the rebels, so it was quite impossible for him to make public any news in advance of Gresham’s advices from hero.

Minister Thurston may not return to Washington, as it is understood that he would prefer to remain here. In government circles it is stated mat ne is here to consult with the government on various matters. If he decides to quit his post at Washington the position will probably be offered to W. N.
