KEPT HIS OATH, A Contict Ketitros After Five Trara mill Kllla Him AccDaer, l.in hki j.p, 111., April 2 Five years ag Thomas Davis, a well-dressed stranger, came to Litchfield, and a few days after his arrival a wealthy citizen wäs robbed at the muzzle of a pistol. Samuel Waldrop was constable at the time, and he arrested Davi: or the ofcnse. The case at first was not strong against tbe accused, but Waldrop worked bard and secured a conviction. Davis was sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary, and when tbe sentence was pronounced he turned to Waldrop and said. "I swear to God, if I ever Jive to get ont 111 Mil jou." No attention was paid to the threat and Davla was conveyed to Chester, where he served his term and was released last week under tbe good-time rnle. ßatorday he returned to Litchfield, but was only recognized by a few people. Yesterday h called at Waldrop's residence and aakfd to eee Waldrop. The latter, who Is no longer connected with the administration of the law, stepped to the door. "Is your came Waldrop?" asked Davie. "Yea, air." My name is Tom Davis, and I've coma to kill you, aa I swore I would." Befor Waldrop could move, Davis fired three times, killing him instantly. Tne tuorderer ßsd and a posse started in pnrsuit 1 avia was aaen goiDg through the woods yesterday, and early this morning; a sheriff perse started In pursuit of him. It is rumored that fa was met by the pots and ht and killed one of them and then made bis escape. The peeple are determined to bring him ia dead or alive. The Treasnry Policy, WAfHir, April 2. Bec'y.

already prior to Oct 8, 167, and there was, in the judgment of the department, no undoubted lawful power except an increase of deposits in national bank depositories toJ avert dangers which threaten the country, because taxation in excess of the needs of the government was rapidly taking the circulating medium from the channels of business and locxing it np in the vaults of the treasury. He ac!s that by the use of all lawful powers and e. pedirnts the department, during the past year, has earnestly am anxionsly striven to avert dsngersand difficulties which cannot he cured or long prevented from working great harm, no matter what devices are attempted unless the revenues of the governmentale so reduced as nearly to equalize ordinary and necessary expenditures.

"Wa: -Toy, April 2. The official correspondence between the I'nited States and Germany, growing out of the recent troubles in the Samonan Islands, shows that this government has ecrupulcusly refrained frcm Increasing Its prestige and influence m the islands by availing itself of the unmistakable friendship which tbe natives entertained for this country. O.i the contrary the United States has used its gocd oil.ce3 to preserve the autonomy ot the islands without any further consideration tban that of protection to American interests. Further than this we have cot eoce. On one occasion, when Mr. Creenebaum, the American consul at Apia, attempted to set up a protectorate over the island, his conduct was sternly rebated and bis dismissal speedily followed. In the correspondence, however, it is pretty plainly intimated that Germany has scarcely been so coBsiperate of fried-Lip for the United States. Another Crank Juajert. lWmJKTOK. April 2 C. P.

While distributing them on the ea9t front of the capitol his pistol went c, but whether by accident or design is not known. He was quickly taken in charge and sent down to the police court to be charged with carrying concealed weapons and with ilistributing documents contrary to law. His circular is coherent and, aside from its intemperate charges, bears co evidence of crankiness. A Vang ot Youthful Female Thießen. Carthagf, III., April 1.

GOULD'S OPEN LETTER James G;rdcc Bennett the Rtcipie&t of & SuthiBg Sp itir.

The Brcat Flnanrier Iicrinca What Is Called a New Yoik 'Ueralir' "Scream" StiiH&tlooal Arts in the Utora L.if. New York, April 1 The following open letter from Jay Gould . ts James Gordon Eennett, ot the lit aid, was printed this morning and bas produced an immens sensation: Neu Yohk, March 31. 1$sk. To 11 r. James (Jordon Bennett: "in Friday's issue of tap 11 -nil you fulminated what IemtcldiscoaiiaoalycalleJ in the 11' mill office 'a ecream,' bnt that Ecream must hsve been charged with dyaaruite, as I have learcd as it rolled ofl from Mackay and Uennett'a cable direct from Paria it shook that iioVe structure from which the Jlmld is issuied from bae to root. Now, as in the so rilled 'scream' you btve taken occasion to dny certain state-r-.ierit deliberately ma?e:by me as to the New York 11. mil and yoeraelf, it is proper thf 1 1 reply. In the llrit place, I never stated that you were ever a director of tbe American Cable com pan V. It is true you were never invited to tat a seat in that board, and I doubt if any member of it would sit in a board with jou, for reasons tbat will be apparent as I proceed. What I did tay was that some yeäi3 ago your father bought 1,000 shares of the stock of the American telegraph company in order to make you a director; that you were elected and appeared in tbe board; that j on leaar-ded for the i -'dd lower rate3 ttan were paid by other tewspapcrs, and a precedence over them in transmission of the news: in other words, you were attempting to ute the corporation of which you were a trustee, not enly for your personal profit and advantage, but to the itjury of your rivals. I statei further that jour demands were to "persistent and so oOensive that tne first 'opportunity your name was dropped fromthe board. When I made these statements I had before me a certified copy of the records of tr-e American telegraph company, now Western Vnion, and I hud also a memorandum i'.iEcle by one of your associate directors, who was then ccrnerted with the actual management. This statement proves the truth of what I said and the falsity of y cur denial. This memorandum Is as follows : ''Notwithstanding the. New York 1! -'id has generally, during the last twtr.ty thrf e or four years teen among tbe latest iiuMvidnal newspaper patrons of the V.'tb.ein Union teU graph company, it has hten for the greater pari of that period rfe.-'y tc critice and ceaouuc the comTry on tt e rrott flimsy pretext. Tntse ciiiicifiiiS in aUfcper degrte date from tbe rttiren-er.t of Jcir.ts Gordon Eennett, jr., frcm the boe.d of direc'ois of one of the lerptr telegraph companies now embraced in the Western Union system. The limited facilities o! the telegraph companies in 1S; did net enable ths proiupt trantimksion cf r irvs reports that ne-nov; Cider;', io JihVcvsUnucrs. asc3 ctfen simultanet.il..: !y l'.. a (;:;at number of individual papers, over numerous wires, but they were then transmittel, as now, on the principle of ret come, first served; ard papers that were late in getting their reports from Washington, Albany and elsewhere, had to Trait their turn. The elder Dennett bad been supplied l.OCO 8 hares ot stock in tne American telegraph company, at a price more than 20 per cent below the market v clue, and his sou elected a member of the beard. His first service was to demand that the ll ti(t being a large etcckholdor, and oar largest customer, was entitled to and should be awarded precedence in the traasmison cf special reports. This demand could not be acceded to aud the new director wex a disgruntled and disagreeable associate ia the board. When the company waa absorbed by the Western Union be was -not amorjg those who were taken ioio tbe "Vvestern Union boaid. The bitterness of the 1',-uld has been inten&ified since the refusal of the cab e pool to allow tbe French company to renew Its contract with the II. fill lor apeciti rates at about one-half the price the ether newspapers were belrjg charged. The rerewal of the contract tu demanded in lfrKl, accompanied by a threat that if it was not agreed to an opposition cable would be laid. The elder Garrett h&i at one time agreed to unite with Mr. Bennett in procuring a new cable, but Mr. fender succeeded in persuading Mr. Garrett that an opposition cable would not pay. Bat a few months later he found another capitalist who yielded to his importunities, and he got his revenge. Whether he got the benefits he had demanded and expected is a doubtful question. He baa succeeded In procuring a general reduction of rates; but whether that compensates bis un remunerative investment in the oble is a question of his own finances. As it is thus apparent tbat the IL raid, though actuated by personal malice and sellioh interests, conceals this motive and poses and pretends to act as the guardian of public interest?, denouncing in its lordly way individuals and corporations, using such epithets as 'wizard,' 'corsair,' etc., aud uttering such fearful screams that even the llxald buildiag qaakes.it seems to rre that I should say a few words of and to ita editor and proprietor. As tht) JU rJ l aays Mr. Bennett would net kit at the same board with me, it seems proper for me to state the objections I might have to such an association with the editor and proprietor of the 7Vnii.i. let me see: I have known you over thirty years, and during all that time your iUe has been but a succession of debauches and scandals, so that yoar name is associated on every tongue as "Bennett the libeitide," and however gentlemen might meet von at clubs or hotels, not a gentleman io New York, as yu well know, would allow yon to cross the threshold of his residence where virtue and family honor are held sacred. Your very touch in the social circle is contaminating. A few instance, each as decency permit to be put in print, will suftic to illnstrat and confirm what I have to say on t his head. A few years ago, while on one of your debauches, the police came down on a bouse oT ill-fame ia this city. You were among the victims bagged. When you were arraigned, put mid-night, at the police station, you screamed : "I am James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the Nw York Uoald. Let me jo." Do yon emembr th almpla reply of the faithful officer, who said: "You may ,b James Gordon Bennett, or you mey be George Washington; the case will take the usaal course. OfScer, lock the prisoner up;' and you went behlad the bars. In the mornln;, when yon had sobered down and cam to a full realization of your situation you no longer screamed, 'I am James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of tbe New York Httahl? but you spent the whole day in trying to get the newspapers to suppress the sickening story, and with very good success. At dinner party given by you at yoar residence, after your guests were about through yon took a revolver and began firing at tbe f lobes of U Urge ch dcü er orex the cen

ter of the dinner table, sending the thousand pieces of broken glass in the eyes and faces of your gueets, who piled pell-mell under the table. No 'scream' was made over this insult to your guests by James Gordon Bennett, of the New York 11 aid. "Another incident in this shameful career will be enough to illustrate my present purpose. Some years ao, I am told, yon invited some gentlemen to dine With you on your yacht, among them a noble lord. It soon became apparent to the gentlemen that you were on one of your wild orgies and they were anxious to get ashore. You started to land them, and after rowing around in a circle for awhile you finally brought up toalaniiag, without knowirg whether it wss New York, Brooklyn or Williamsburgh. You landed your guests at the morgue, and as vera were proceeding stumbled and fell

into what afterward turned out to b a box i for the burial of the day's victims. What a scene it would have nida if, while you had teen Jyicg In that dox, the dead victims 1 Rd been placed ia aad tbe box c'.o'ti up ar.d taken awsy for burin'.. As ycur ffiJies graöually returned me-tbinks P har the sarae scream: 'IarnJini s eiord- n Eennett, propreior of the New Y- r 7-"'': let me oat!' Now, oae more word and I have dooe wiih yja. Are you (luiu taliv I'ed with your rtc;n'; pir'.i-.ers, Messrs. Atdrews and Couch, in the attacks ou Gould and S-tge? ? rpo.td that wi'h A"drws t" Ci i-.e sharp law work a-.l th li-rrd i do the 'fcream!nr,' the combination vould be formidable. Don't you iigw wih you hadr:ade eorjee few inquiries as to Andrew's reputation and character before jcu went into the association? And dou t you think that before you began your attack it would have been more j ast if yon had made inquiries as to whether you had any foundation for your dily tiracJes? "A slight inquiry would hav3 sh-jwn yen tbat Messrs. Sige audG juld eimply did their duty as trustees; that ne!ther ot then received a penny's profit from tne transactions, while the bondbolders wre benefitted to the extent of millions, as tha bonds were put by it from 70 to above r, where they now remain. Sijice I ex pise J the fact that no bondholders ever c jmplained; that Andrews and Crouch hiJ clients; that they went to Europe to tVj clients; that Andrews and Crouch were ail there was to the prosecution, and their motive vrzts revcrge and gain; that Andrews and a practicing attorney, by guaranteeing his dupes, Stoop and F.ens, against co3t and expense, as shown by the ietter of Messrs. Pick A- Co., which I published, hirmelf committed a criminal offense. Andrews and Crouch havo taken to their holes, ard have not since been eepn and only fee'y heard from. But the 11 nil still continues to 'scream.' Jay Got i r.'' Wet aul Dry riisiouri Counties.

Lockroy, minister of commerce, and M. Flouquet, minister of the interior. M. Clemenceau and IS.. Felletan are convinced that the Boulanger agitation will subside if the Chamher supports M. Flouqaet in a radical policy, but it is believed M. Flouquet is trying to combine the opportunist and radical elements. I-ooisvills Strike Declared off. Lor:s-viLr.r, Ky., April 1. The printers; strike here, both against the job and news paper offices, was to-day declared off and the men will go to work wherever they can get a chance. Many of them will secure permits and go back to their old places in what are n iw non-union offices. The let-down was caused by a letter from President Amison of the International union. He inclosed $-00 which he said was the last contribution the Louisville strikers would get. He said the executive committee considered the strike unwise. and nnless the local union stopped it he would himself. After reading the letter President Higgins of the local organization declared the strike ended. The CWuv Joumal and ThitcK with job offices, have since been fully manned. The type-setting machines run regularly. Other job ofikei are well supplied. The Emperor's Condition. Berlik, April 2 Tha emperor had a troubled night, coughing more than usual.

Tf "e had been bad feeling btac-n the wli.te and colored miners for soaje t:rae ar. l tne n port that a white miner had kii'ed three colcred men created intense excitement amoeg the negroes, who compose a large r srt of tbe per ulation in that neihberhecd. Iu a few moments negroes Cocked to the Ecene from every ejection, carrying ehct-gucs, rifles, knivt-s. rcToIvers and clubs cf every dtscriplicn, ell clamcricg for rtver fc. Kirjg at ctre flirted to run rn tte river tank, turtued by acoi-;tr.r:tIy incrcr.siig rrcb of nearefs, jeiling at the top cf their to;ccs. The moo lired fix shots at K:ug, who jrely turred f.nd started the Lie. Inaftcrt tirre KiDg, eow -'presssd ty his wrathful purtuers, turned and sous'.t refareintbe pump-house cf the waterworks. A triumphant thcut went up from ti e mob, who now thought they fad secured their, prize. The negroesj swarmed through the waterworks building, searching ia every nock aud corner for Kicg, while the colored women urged them on. Their search was unavailing, and it was to his teirgRbleto hide himself for one hour tht King owes his life. While the excitement was at its height Mavc? Nee-lv spneared on the scene and attempted tu order the turbulent crowd back. A ctczen revolvers were pointed at him, SBd Chief of Police Roberts met with no tetter success. Mayor Neely made nnsuccee ful eflorts to communicate with the shcrifl or his deputies by telephone, and Dally mounting a horse 6tartel for Ft. Leavenworth to get a force of so'd'ers. In the meantime the entire police force of the city had arrived and aided in the search, fcr Kitg. A squad of policemen fit-ally found him crouchiDg und.-r an obscure stairway. They ordered him to surrecder and he responded by leaping out with a cocked revolver ready to shoot. Policeman Street then shot him, tbe bullet entering the muscle of the arm juet below the thoulder, infliciing a painful and serious wound. While several policemen guarded the prisorer, otlers wtnt outside and informed the excited crowd that King wa9 dead, having been shot by the policeman while be was resUtlrg arrest. A cheer went up Lorn the rtob, many of whom were satisfied, and in a short time nearly all bad left under the Impression tbat King was dead.

He appeared cool and determined and said he did cot regret ehooting Young and Hedsnath, both of whom had threatened to kill him, but he was sorry for shootirg Kaston, who he thought to be a friend of his would-be murderers. King bears a gcod reputation and haB an invention of a safety brake for cable cars on steep Inclines. He is poor and was going to see a man to induce him to help him get a patent when the trouble occurred. How Illinois lias Been Bobbed, Chicago Herald.! Gen. Hermann Lieb's book, lately from the Chicago press, is valuable in many ways. It is timely for one thin.?, and for another ic ia creditable that a citiien of Cbicego rhould make known to the world the fact tbat he has weighed the matter of high tariff slowly and carefully, and that there are few robberies of the system which have evaded bis methodical eye. Taking Mr. Dai ne's own text, Gen. Lieb proceeds with hi s book, and It is somewhat sopri-;-ing that the ad missions of the Maine statesman should offer the ground-work of a fabric that is likely to endure as a monument to commercial freedom. "Two parties," says Mr. Blaine in his "Twenty Years," have always existed in the United States, th party of strict construction and the party of liberal construction; the party ot stinted revenue and restricted expenditure, and tha party of generous iacome, with its wise application to public Improvement; the party, in short, of Jefferson against the party of Hamilton." 8 ach is the text. Upon this showing, which Gsn. hieb conceives to be tho exact truth., he is able to ring all the changes of tha argument against protection. Th times are growing better when tha taxpaying com m unity finds such authors in its midst. A Heavy Assigam!.
