The Rebels and 1‘eople On the Bonier. San Antonio, Tex., January 5.—The trouble* on th* border are not settled, and It can not be said that any great success has resulted from the brave and persistent efforts of tbs United States troops in th* tieid in tn* turbulent Motion. About all that ha* bean so far accomplished has been the routing of Gana'a man when discovered in •mall banda. The policy of the revolutionary force* when attacked, so far, hs* been to seattor through tho chapparal, and it is oonfidently believed that in every such instance they have a secret rendezvous, where they come together again after the skirmish. It ie not believed that the actual stronghold of the revolutionists has been reached although Second Lieut. Geu.rge H. Laoghorne and Cant. Francis W. Hartlie with their detachments, met many roaming bands of them during the recent scout lasting several days. The people of the lower Rio Grande country are a peculiar people. Captain Bourke who has spent •utne time among thepi, describes them in a written rtport just made to GeneralStanley. HesnVa: “Of the population of this part of the Rio Grande vallev not much can be said. There are eome few people educated, and with refinement, hut the msM of the inhabitants are saturated With ignorance and supermtiiion which haa no parallel this side of the Congo. In thought, habit, speech and dress they are eeeentiallv American, but they are also anti-Mexiean. They have no sympathy with either government. To make clear how thoro ghly superstitious these people are, I wish to say that during the 'last spring and early summer 1 noted down all their superstitions and weird fancies, andJound that they were firm believers in the evil eye, witchcraft, cures by ma<nc, •oreerr, incantation and all other ideas of the earn* kina which prevailed in Europe from the time of the crusades until the

Where the Mecrutts lam* From. El Faso, Tex,, January 5.—It has just baen learned that the leaders in the present revolution on tbe lower frontier have been working in this neighborhood for recruits at least since last June, when it was noticed that many laborers working on she •mall ranches between here end Rincon, N. Mex„ were induced to leave and proceed to the neighborhood of Ijiredo. Thesq, people made a very eoaut living working in . the fields and herding, and lived in mud jackals along the Kid Grande. There is no doubt they could be easily induced to cuter the present revolution. It has also been learned that the headquarters of the revolutionists are now situated at New Orleans, but they contemplate transferring them to El Paso whioh would afford a better base of operations. Tbe scheme ie backed by a-j large amount of money, and as a foothold j is obtained in Mexico* the revolution will j begin ia earnest The idea of those back- j tng th* Movement is to cut off that portion ! el Mexico north of a line extending from Uxraa on the Gulf of Mexico to Maxatlan •a the Pacific ocean, and declare a republic under tbe constitution as promulgated to 1857.

authorized Dr. Manger to make the statement, though he admits that he was the source of the Doctor’s information.” Her. Dr. Munger to-dav,speaking of Gen. Frye’s criticism, said: “Prior to the funeral Colonel Hughes, in conversation about General Terry and of his connection with the ill-fated Inchan war, said that Custer had disobeved both written and verbitl orders. He had listened to the verbal orders and knew what they were. Colonel Hushes, however, did not state to me the nature of the order. He simply stated that Custer had disobeyed orders. Colonel Hughes stated that he had several times urged General Terry to te)l the whole story of the affair, as it was duo him that the whole affair should be cleared up. Terry replied that he did not care to disclose the Iscts, which he, living, could stand better than General Custer, who was dead. Colonel Hughes suggested that in mv remarks I should refer to the statement as it was. That is the reason I did so. That is all there is to it, so far os I am concerned. If there is more to the story it is likely tnat it will come from the soldiers who know the
facts."

FOR YV A BASH COLLEGE.
A Bequest of 1,400 Acres of Land
Sustained by the Court.
CHICAGO, January 5.—Judge Blodgett, in the Federal Court yesterday rendered his opinion In a controversy between the heirs of an eccentric, but wealthy, old farmer named Jacob M. Harmon over the ownership of over three thousand oeres of land iu Iroquois county, Illinois, and Warren county, Indiana. About fifteen years ego Harmon made a contract with two of his nephews, Ja£ob and Jeremiah Harmon, which, in efiect, gave the old gentleman’s possessions to them at his death, provided they made certain improvements on the land and paid an annual rental for it. In 1884 a new agreement, which provided that the two nephews must surrender the laud at any time the owner desired, was made. In *1887 Harmon died and left a will which disposed of 1,400 acres of the land to Wabash College, of Indiana; a large portion to diflerent relatives, and but six hundred acres each to the two nephews. The will also provided that these last bequests be subject to an annuity of 25 cents per acre, to be paid to the American Bible Society of New York. The two nephews rebelled at this and filed a bill in the United States Circuit Court to enforce the original agreement that they were to receive the laud. The written agreement made by the two nephews in 1884 was fatal to their claim, however, in the court’s opinion. There was some question in the Court’s mind as to the annuity iu perpetuitv to be paid to the Bible society, and there will probably be some further litigation on that point, but the bill to enforce the original agreement was dismissed for want of
equity.

COVINGTON, January 5.—James Goodwine, the most prominent and the wealthi-
New ^ ork, general secretary of the Na- J eR t farmer in Warren county, is dead at his
tional League for the Protection of American Institutions, has been at work in this city in behalf of an amendment to the United States Constitution, which,* within the next two weeks, will be submitted to both branches of Congress. The amendment, which has been drafted by Hon. William Allen Butler, of New York, provides that hereafter no State shall pass any law regarding the establishment of any religion, or prohibiting the free exercise of religion, or shall use its property, or credit, or any money raised by taxation, or authorize either to be used for the purpose of founding, or aiding, or maintaining by appropriation, payment for services, expenses, or otherwise, any church, religious society, denorairfluion, or any institution, society or undertaking, that is wholly or in part under sectarian or ecciesiastical. control. If this amendment is passed by Congress, it will be at once taken to the various States for ratification by the legislatures. There are now twenty-one States that prohibit sectarian appropriations, and thirty-six that prohibit sectarian diversion of the school fund. The National League has been especially organized to secure the passage of the
amendment.

Chicago, January 5.—John B. Carson, ex-president of the Chicago A Western Iip
Governor has made the most gallant fight
on record in American politics.”
The bitterness of the Foraker people toward the national administration is intense, and Hon. W. S. Cappeller, of Mansfield, one of the cx-Governor’s leading managers, and a man whose prominence in past 8tate conventions gives might to his words, to-day savs: “Whether Mr. Sherman be nominated or not, beyond that time he is a political blank in Ohio politics, for the reason that he will have no future upon the political carpet, State or national, and while the ^outrageous interference of the Federal administration, so conspicuous to all, is admitted, it must also be admitted that if the Harrison administration hopes to succeed itself, and to carry Ohio, it vliil climb a barbed-wire’ fence, if necessary, to be friendly with Foraker and his following in this' State. The senatorial contest will leave sore places in every county, township and school district, and if Mr. McKinley, the incoming Governor, can comprehend and realize the situation and be able to heal up the wound and bridge the chasm, he will have performed a very creditable feat. But there are those who believe that if tihermau is nominated for the Senate, it necessitates the nomination of Mr. Blaine as President to swing
Ohio into their column."
This statement of Mr. Cappeller is being received as an admission that the Foraker people propose to array themselves against President Harrison and carry the State delegation to tbe National convention for Mr. Blaine, or, in the absence of his candidacy, for Senator Cnllom, of Illinois, or some other declared candidate for the
presidency.
For the first time in the contest the Sherman people to-day give names and figures. Chairman Hahn, of the State central committee, says: “Mr. Sherman will have fiftysix votes beyond all question. Fifteen of these will be Senators and forty-one Representatives. If the vote was taken now that would be my estimate of the result. However, it may be increased.” “Who are the Senators?" was asked of
him.
“Here they are; F. G. Carpenter, Jeremiah Carpenter, Phillips, Abbott, Rawlings, Rain, Iden, Nichols, Snyder, Eckley, Ohl,

Martin Moran, proprietor of the saloon known as “The Bank,” at Maryland and Illinois, shot John Cain, a traveling man for Woodford 4 Co., wholesale liquor dealers, last evening about 6 q’clock. Whisky was at the bottom of the affair. Some days ago the men had a disagreement. It was nothing serious, however. Cain has not touched liquor for nearly two year* until a few days ago when he went upon a spree. He told a friend at tbe Spencer House that he had broken friendship* with Mart Moran, that he felt sorry about it and he waa going up to the ealoon and analogize to him. He entered the ealonp. und. extending his hand, asked Moran D pardon him tor what he had said a feu nays before, Moran wee under the influence of liquor also, but not so drunk as the other man, afid inclined to he ugly, and said he did not care for any apologies. Ttws brought on a controversy , that resulted in a hand-to-hand fight, and from this point the stories disagree. Moran’s friends say that he put Cain out of ’ the saloon twice and that Osin earn* back and knocked him down, Moran striking with his head on the bar-rail; that Moran ran behind the bar after a pistol, and as Cain followed him he shot twice, one bullet entering the fleshy part of the leg, passing entirely through, but not striking the bone. The second bullet hit him in the back, near the median Hue, the
-bullet ranging toward the spine.
The other side of the story is that Cain, after knockthg Moran down, started out, and Moran rau behind the bar, caught up a pistol and fired, the bullet striking him in the back. Cain turned and said: “Martin, be a gentleman;, don’t shoot roe again,” and then Moran fired the second shot. Cain walked out, and was found leaning against the side of a building, iu great pain! He was hslped over to Short’s drug store, and afterward Powers 4 Blackwell’s ambulance took him to St- Vincent’s hospital, where Police Surgeon Earp attended him. It was found that the man waa severely wounded, and there were grave doubta of his recovery. Patrolman Martin Hyland arrested Moran, and slated for him assault and battery with intent to kill. He tmd a wound on the back of hi* head, which was dressed by the police surgeon. He refused to make any statement of the affair, except that he and Cain had always been friends, and that in this matter he had only defended him•elf. U<3 was radioed to be surly and ill-
natured.
About 11 o’clock Cain sent for Moran, and in charge of the officers he was taken to the bedside of the wounded man. Cain grasped hi* hand, and said he bore him no malice, that he still was his friend, and hoped, he would get out of the trouble all right Moran waa taken back ( to the station-house and guarded, hut was not locked in the cell-house. He was kept in the surgeon’s room. Cain has the reputation of being a good-natured, inoffensive man, and, as one of his bibulous companions said, “very much of a gentleman.’’ He has been in the employ of Kiflgan 4 Co., Sweeny 4 Co., and Mullaney 4 Hayes. He was in the t-aloon busmen* for a short time, but quit it to travel for Woodford 4 Co. Those who know him say that they wilt never believe that he assa'ulied Moran except in self-
detense.
Moran is also well known. He is known in Irish circles, and is somewhat of a Democratic politician. He has many friends who came to the station-house to furnishany amount of bond required, but Superintendent Colbert declined to accept bail until Cain’s condition is ascertained. This morning at 8 o’clock the wounded man showed symptoms of improvement, supposed to be temporary. . Looks Like Murder. This afternoon Cain continues to rest easy, but the chances are very much against him and he may die before night. This afternoon he made a brief statement to the reporters, and his side of the story makes it very dark for Moran. “In the first place,” said the wounded man, “we had some disagreement, and then got to fighting. We fought for some time. There were plenty of people around there, and I do not see why they did not separate us. I started out of the Mary-land-street door, and he shot me in the back. I turned and said: 'For God’s sake, Mart, be a gentleman and don’t shoot me any more.’ He replied: ‘G—d d—n you, I am going to kill you,’and as he shot the second time, he called to some one to hit me with a beer mallet. I leaned up against the wall, and then went out.” Cain can not remember who struck him on the head, or if he was struck at all, but he has a large contusion on the head, and he evidently received the blow Moran
called for.
Another witness, who was across the street, says he heard the shots, and they appeared to be fired near by the door of the saloon. He says that when Cain staggered out he kept repeating, “Oh, I am shot.
Mart shot me.”
Moran is still locked np and bail will not
be accepted until Cain’s exact condition
can be ascertained.
