Tahis, Tex., HatcIx S. The Choctaw lead has resulted ia blood sheJ. A sharp and most desperate encounter took place at Antlers at 2:20 o'clock thij afternoon. For thirty minutca a storm of leaden hail fail about the town. At that hoar seventy-eight militiamen men suddenly do ployed from tho woods and charged down upon the rasllanco of Dick Lock o, leader of the national party, and opened fire upon it. Locke saw them coming and Lf.roly got into hiahousa when the fusilade upon it bean. Locke, with fire men, returned the fire from the upper etory. Fully 1,50) ehots were fired. Every window was shot out and the walla were perforated like a sieve. Stray bullets t!ew far and wide and terror and consternation prevailed throughout the little town. Everybody was uneasy and no one knew who was safe with four ecoro half drunken infuriated Indiana armed to the teeth and with tho email of blood in their noatrila. Minutca seemed hours and every heart went cut to Locke and hi? wife end little children, who were cooped up in their home which was being riddled by Winchester balls. The attack was a surprise to everybody, cooiinz &a it did. All believsd and hoped that the matter had beoa tattled or toon wonid be. At daylight this morning the militia, under command of Capt. Key Durant, went to Locke's house end insisted upon searching it. If e was not at home, bat in the mounuics in camp about three miles from town. After remaining in town a while they returned to camp. "Word was conveyed to Locke, and, in company with his son and eight others, he went home to see what had been dene, S3 he feared violence had been done hid family. He reached there about 10 o'clock. In Consultation. This morning U. S. Coamiaaioner II. II. Kirkpatrick, Aeaistant V. P. Attorney Frank Lee and Judzo A. IL Ii a rant, a leading Jones men, went to the raüicia camp at Davenport, three miles north of Antlers, and had a long consultation rvi;h Capt. Duran and Thompson and JuJ3 (j. V. Eilkee, a Jones leader. The government officials explained to them the position the United States occupied. If Locke attacked Durant, who was a U. S. deputy marshal, Locke's entire party would be held to answer in the U. S. coari for attacking him, and if they attacked Locke they wouid be held because he had served the L'nited States as a posse man and guard. They wanted to know if they had process for any man Locke had. After much dickering they said they hed process for Willis Jones, who had been indict?d for complicity in the killing of the five Jones men at Wilburton last fall. They said they wanted others, but they had no papers for them, and if he was delivered to them it wouid all be well. Everybody seemed pleased and the militia men were taking things easy and no one would have suspected any Epirit of war among any of them. The party returned to Antlers, arriving there at 11 o'clock. A meeting was had with Locke, at which the Hon. John C. Gibbons, U. 8. commissioners at Aatlers WS3 preeent. They wanted an explicit proposition from Locke in writing as to what fie would do. Locke prepared one, which was placed in the Lands of Mesurs. Gibborg, Kirkpatrick and Lee to be carried to the camp. Start for the lam. The party started for the militia camp at 2 p. m., accompanied by Jud?e Durant. They had (rone about .",00 yirds when they met on advanoe party of about twentyfive, who Lai picked up two of Locke's scouts and disarmed them. The party was headed by Judge G. W. Duke. An effort was made to talk witn him by Mr. Gibbons and Judge Durant, but he would not hair Into. They asked him to wait tho arrival of Capt. Thompson, who wci commanding the militia. Capt. Durant had been called away. Duke would do nothing. Your correspondent started down the railway track to town. He had not gone 100 yards before he was told to hold up. Looking around Duke was teen dashinz down the road at the head of the militia. Away they went pell-mell right op to Locke's house. Locke asked them to ailow hie wife and children and two men and children in the methodiet parsonage time to get out of the way. The sharp report of a Winchester was the rcp!y given him. A furious battle was on. Mrs. Locke went out of her house into the streitend denounced Duke and his followers as cowardly, brutal murderers, and crossed to the parsonage to epure Mr. Hall and his wife that her husband and his wife would not fire upon their houso, which the attacking party had taken refuge behind. Meantime Capt. Thompson came up, nd in company with Mr. Gibbons he

went to hit men and begjed them te stop firing. They went to Locke's heuee while it ws eViil receiving a leaden hail, and while, Mr. Gibbons stood outside and commanded piece. Thompson assured himself that no man wanted by tne militia was harbored by Locke. His men ceased fir in r, Mrs. Locke went to town and sent physicians to her houso, Messrs. Kirkpatrick and Lee telegraphed to Marshal Dickerson hero to send a strong force as they had warrants for the militia. After a parley the militia left town and went a mile north of town into camp. A survey was then made of tho field. The Wounded. In Lock's bouse three men were found wounded. MacIIill shot through the shoulder, painful, but not necessarily dangerous. John Worcester and Solomon Sercer shot in the head; serious wounds. Of the militia Folomon Baptist was shot through the arm and in the side, mortally wounded. Three others had lle-eh wcunds. Louke'a little daughter had her hair burned by a bullet as she was goine up ftairs with her mother's baby in her arms. A ball pa-aed throuch Locke's hat, and his non'u arm was grazed. It is said that his children were shot at as they endeavored to go from the residence to a cabin in tho yard. After looking over the place it seems almost a miracle that a member of his family came out alive, and yet it is not known that one was hurt. Aire t Mode. 'Warrants were issued at once for a large number of tho militia and late in the afternoon Messrs. Gibbons, Kirkpatrick and Judge Durant went to the militia camp and arrested G. W. Duke and eighteen others and brought them here tonight. Many of the militiamen refused to participate in the attack, saying they did not understand it to be their duty to make war on women and chi dren. Great uneaainns prevads at Antlers tonight. Fears are entertained that the town w ill be burned. A strong posse of deputy marshals went from here to Antlers to keep the peace. It is e.vpected that Locko's entiro force will break camp and return to Antlers. II so they may attack the militia. This opinion is etronzly entertained by many. Should they do so it will more periously complicate matters. Many believe the militia will leave tomorrow. They eoe, it is saiJ, that they have gone

The bank officers of Deti it and Cincinnati came in great glee at the announcement with papers for the min's surrender to tho state authorities.

WERE MARRIED IN JAIL

SENSATIONAL NUPTIALS OF OR. BENHAM AND MISS EURICH. The Latter, a Teacher t the Institute for the mind. Gee to Richmond and Marries J. Frank IWnkara, Who fctanrla Convicted ! of Seducing- t-eTenteen-Tear-Ola Oirt of That City The Bride and Groom Both Graduate of the State rulveritjr Trylugto Secure Executive Clemency. One of those peculiar things baa happened which illustrates the wonders of a woman's love. Monday evening in tho county jail in Richmond, Ind., Dr. J. Frank Benham of that city and Miss Laura Eurich of this city were united in marriage. Surrounding this sudden and peculiar wedding are circumstances both interesting and sensational. Dr. Benham is a man about thirty years of age, and his father was at one time a trustee of the eastern insane hospital located at Richmond. His term expired suddenly at the time of the investigation of tho death of an inmate named Thomas J. Blount, which occurrod three years ago. Dr. Benham is now incarcerated in the Wayne county jail awaiting removal to the penitentiary to serve a two-year term, having recently been convicted of tho seduction of seventeen-year-old Annie Fuller ot Richmond. Miss Laura Eurich. now Benham'a wife, was until Sunday afternoon a toacher et literature at the Indiana inetituto for the blind. She is handsome, is just twentyfour years of nee and possesses literary attainments of a high degree. She has been a teacher at the institute for two years, having jut prior to going there completed a course of study at the state university. Miss Eurich is well connected in this city. Her mother resides on X. Pennsylvania sL, and she is a sister-in-law of Thomas A. Winterrowd, the wellknown architect, who residua at'JiG. Pennsylvauia-et. It was while a student at the state university that Miss Kurich met and loved Dr. Benham, who is a graduate of that institution. Their engagement covered a period of three years. The arrest and conviction ot her lover upon the serious charge named above did not turn Miss Fu rich's love from its intended purpose and when she learned that Dr. Benham was about to be taken to the penitentiary her resolve was made. Sunday nftemoon Miss Eurich went to Superintendent Grißith of the blind insti6tute, who was cognizant ot her engagement to Dr. Ken ham, and informed him of the troubles that hal overtaken her betrothed. She then etatedthat sho believed it was her duty to go to him, giving up her work at the institute if nece.'ary and remain at her lover's Eids until the prinoo gates had cloerd behind him. At this interview Miss Eurich did did not inform Superintendent Griifith that she intended to marry I). Benham as soon 9 ehe reached Richmond. Superintendent Griffith is of the belief that the young couple decided upon marriage in the jail in the hope of influencing Governor Matthews to extend executive clemency. Superintendent Griffith speaks very highly of the young lady, eayicg that she had always conducted herself at the asylum ia a most diznifidd manner and that she was naturally cf a retiring disposition. Mifs Eurich went to Richmond on Monday and was accompanied by her pister, Mrs. Winterrowd. Before leaving Indianapolis she went to the county clerk's office and secured the msrriage license for hersalf and Dr. Benham. Upon her arrival at Richmond ehe went immediately to the jail, where the was met by Benham'a father and mother and his two sisters. Arrangements for the wedding had alreadr been made, and the minister, the Ruv. Dr. J. M. Huithes of the First presbyterian church of that city, awaited her arrival at the jail. It was 9 o'clock Monday evening when tho ceremony took place. It occurred in the parlor of the sherilTs residence. Immediately after it was over the bridegroom was conducted back to his prison evil, and the brida accompanied her husband's parents to their pretty home east of the city. Yesterday Mrs. Benham spent moat of the time with her husband in jaiL Sho will remain-in Richmond until the fato oi her husband is detiiniely settled. Yesterday afternoon Prosecuting Attorney Harry Starr of Wayne county arrived in the city and went to tho governor's office with the intention of counteracting the influence of a number of petitions received at tha governor's office, asking that executive clemency be extended to Dr. Benham. Governor Matthews ia out of town end Mr. cUarr returned home disappointed. Young Benhara's friends are deeirous of having the governor grant him a pardon, and if that is refused they hone to have his sentence to the penitentiary commuted to imprisonment in tue county jail. Tho announcement of Miss Eurich's marri&go will create a sensation among her many friends in this city. A marriage euch as this one Eoldom occurs. The Itespotiftlbility for Und Appointments. Chariesion New sai Courier The Indiana people are protesting against the appointment of a Mr. Burke as L S. district attorney for that state, and make tome serious charges against him. He is said to havo been nominated by Mr. Cleveland at the request of Senator Voorhees, who is said to have imposed upon the president by recommending such a man for office. We do not know anything about Mr. Burke; he may be a very worthy man, and in every way qualified for the office to which he has been appointed ; but, in view of tho objections made against his selection, Senator Voorhees should be required to roasie good the claims of his protege in the executive favor. During Mr. Cleveland's first term as president, a California lawyer signed the application of a candidate for judge of the U. S. court, and after his appointment wrote a letter to Mr. Cleveland expressing surprise and regret that he had been appointed. Mr. Cleveland wrote a letter to the lawyer excoriating him for the deceit be had practiced. Mr iCieveland's letter would be timely reading at this time, when it ia the fashion for men I influence to sign the petition ef every office-seeker that is presented to them. Mr. Cleveland cannot be expected to make good appointments when good men siu the petitions of unworthy men, or of men who are not especially fitted to perform the duties of a public office. All Alike, fttreet A Smith's Oood NsviJ Visitor "And ao vou wont to the church to see the wedding7 What did you think of it?" Little Girl "I didn't think. I just looked and talked, and talked without thinking, tame ft everybody eis."

FLIGHT OF LOVERS.

A Father Glve ITot Chase, but Ia Lluded. Bridgeport, Conn., March 2$. Thtfe has been an exciting elopement from Birmingham, Conn., to this city. Walter Stowe until ten months ago was an employe cf the East End railroad here. Then he went tonirmingham to live and be came enamored of Miss Nellie Tomltnsoo, whose father forbade htr having anything to do with him. Stowe joined the church the young lady attended, which gave him opportunities for meting her, and they decided to elope. Stowe came here last Saturday and hired a fast horse, with which he returned to Birmingham Sunday morning. He found the girl had been compelled to go to churcn with her parents. He waa jubt in time to give her a elgnal as she entered the church. She excused herself to her parents, and when she did not rejoin them her father went out in time to fee her driving away with htowe. Mr. Tomlinson jumped into his carriage and followed the runaway counle for the fourteen miles to this place. The race was closo, but Kowe's horse was the better and the fugitives arrived here first. Then tho father lo?t all trace of them. He and Detertivo Arnold have been making a fruitless search for them ever since. As the girl is only eighteen years old he says ho will make it hot for tho minister who marries the couple. AN IMPOSSIBLE THEORY. It Conflict with the President's Character nnd Intnl. Mr. Vo-rlier. IK. Y. Tim. 1 An appointment for district attorney of the United States in Indiana, which Mr. Cleveland has made, and one of less importance in some respects in the diplomatic sorvice have given tho impression to some of the president's friends in Indiana that he ia seeking to "placate" Senator Voorhees of that etate, who by right of seniority has juet succeeded to the chairmar.stiip of tho eenuto committee on llnance. Those who have received this impresnion appear to ronson in this way: Mr. Voorhees is a free-silver man; his n-w position gives him great influence in shaping financial legislation; the president is opposed to free 6ilver. and sees that the repeal of tho act of LS'JJ and the maintenance of void payments by the treasury are necessary to abound currency; he has thought that, by appointing the brother-in-law of Senator Voorhees to an honorable dip omatic poet and an intimate political friend to tho district attorney's office, he may induce the senttor to forbear from u-ing his place at the head of the finance committee to thwart the policy of the administration.. Such a line of reasoning is not inconsistent with ttie practica of former and very recent presidents. The course attributed to Mr. Cleveland may Boom very natural nnd even praiseworthy to thope who are accustomed to tho ways of politician and who ndheru to the notion that appointments in the public service, domt-stiu or foreign, nro legitim a' and practical means of influencing legislation. But theo frentleni'-n leave out of view two essential tuet. Due is the character ol tho president. The oilier U lh9 actual eliect prod m ed by auch usaof p.nronago, which has beu almost uniformly tho opposite of thci waich has bom intended. The part assigned to Mr. Voorhees in a "deal" of the kii.d that is imagined is at once, discreditable and impructic'ible. It is ateutued thai i.e wouid barter his convictions ns to importunt legislative measures for political and family advantage, which assumption is no ins ilt to him. It is further assumed that, having made such a bargain, he could carry it cut without utter political ruin, which is abnurd. The moment he to"k any decinivc tep in that direction he would be met by angry constituents with tho charge that he had Bo.d himself ami thnin, and aainet such a charge his only deiem e would h to adhero to hia former convictions. On the other baud, the u.oti ves attributed to Mr. Clevelaad are equally incredible. Surely ha is not believed by any considerable number of Americana to be a frivolous, aiiort-siht-ed intriguer, who eeUs his ends by means that wouid shock and di-courae ail his friends, and that wouid n. on-over be hopelessly inefficacious. Mr. Cleveland has convictions both intcliertr.nl and moral us to sound currency, He has reached them deiiberatelv and candidly. He has never comj. romifcd or concealed them. He has peniy and firmly uphe.d them on eli proper occasions, and has more than once staked his fortunes as a leader of his party upn their maintenance. This conduct has won for him the deep and unquestioning reepect and confidence of tho urrat body of tho American people. Ou that he can rely, as ho has reiied In the pant, implicitly. But as he could not rely noon it long if he undertook to carry out hia views . with congress bv a "deal" in which offices were traded for votes, it is not conceivable that he contemplates such a deal. What .Mr. (,'leve aud'a real conception is of tho means bv vhich his partv can bo etreugthoned and his principles applied in national allairs ia very siptiy exi.rossed bv President Low ot Columbia college in the curreut number of the t'uruitu Mr. Low says: Mr. CIsveland's appoint nent of Judas Gretünm as iecie'iirr of täte stems to ina to Lave chiefly thi tignilicance, that he withes to intimate, far a l e ca do no, to the lra numbers ot men wi;o are out o; the republican party as ta preneut inac-f, nnd yet not iu tho ileuiocrst'o piuty, that ttie democrotie party is their true 1 ome. hrci ruer, while larstir in sympathy with the deiaooratio party of n-CAnt yaars iu national o'ir, have leo feurfui of it ao1 are largely feurfui ot it till, beciuse in tl.o North, in tho great center of pouu'ution, a here democracy n stroncei!, the aJiuui;strn tion of local aifeirs and ofun of state sfTnirs bac not been conducted by irenulucly demo critic methods or upon genuinely democratio principles. This is simply to savthat Mr. Cleveland appeals to th intelligence and conscience of the country. He appeals just as franklr against the advocates of the frro silver fa! aev in Indiana an against the local rings of spoilsmen in New York or elsewhere. He is no more likly to "trado and dk-ker" ns Mr. Charles Francis Adams paid in 1S72 with one than with the other. lie knows that his strength, remarkable and inspiriting, as it has been shown to be, iiea in the mutual confidence between himself and the honest voters of the country. They trust him, even when they do not agree with him, because he trusts them. To his noble and constant appeal to their manhood and honor they have responded magnificently. He is not likely to throw awoy a force of this proved greatness totako to rohtlcisns' methods of barter. The appointments that seem to some to give force to such a wild inference must be set down to the errors of judgment that any man is exposed to, or to misinformation or bad advice. They cannot he accepted as evidence of gratuitous folly. Merely Threw It Dick. Street A Smith's Gool News.)

Two days afterward he caught cold. A relapse en sued, bis condition being com plicated by congestion of the right lung. Everything in human power whs done to nave him, but from the first it was evident that the chances were against his recovery. Once or twice during temporary periods of Eemi-consciousneas his mind wandered through past scenes, and he ordered the batteries to come up. Early this morning he became totally unconscious. His end was very peaceful. His wife and six of his family were with him. He died as he lived, bright, strong and confident in his Christian faith and hope. One of his very last connected utterances was a verse from the Twenty-third psalm: "Though I walk through the vnliey of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Gen.
