Cheyennk, Wyo., Dec. 13.—A curious story comes iu from the north that the people of Big Horn baBin, Johnston county, have broken up "Kettle Jack's" gang of thieves and cut throats by hauging eleven members of tho baud and driving tho remainder from the country. Kettle Jack and four companions, so the story goes, appeared in that region a year ago equipped for prospecting. They established rendezvous in an isolated spot high up in the mountains and lived like barbarians. The party was content to fish and hunt for some mouths, but being reinforced by other desperate characters coinmonccd to plunder the settlers.

After a wait of a few minutes one of the assistant doorkeepers of the house, accompanied by another officer, appeared in the main aisle leading to the bar of the house and announced in a stentorian voice: Mr. Forrest continued his argument against the probability of Mrs. Conklin's ability to identify any horse after only the very brief inspection she had of it while looking out of the window. New York, Dec. 13.—A special cable dispatch to The World from Maranham, Brazil, says: I hare just arrived at St. Luiz de Maranham, 400 miles from Para. I found the place in a repressed state of excitement. There had been lighting between the Imperialists and Republicans immediately after the dethronement of Dom Pedro, and on Nov. 18 the excitement grew so great that the military fired on the p9ople, twenty of whom were killed. The attempt to create a revolt was undoubtedly tho work of the Imperialists and Portuguese. Maranham is naturally inclined to royalism. It is the fourth city of the empire, and the capital of the rich and important province of the same name. Counsel for Ghalklay I.oaoney. accused of the murder of his niaoe In Camden county, N.

The testimony that Coughlin once said that unless a certain north side Catholic kept his mouth shut ho would get done up, was discussed first. That the remark was true the speaker did not deny, but it simply had reference to a feature in the last municipal campaign and no weight should be attached to it, except to show bow hard the state was straining to find a motive. As for the testimony that Coughlin endeavored to hire Sampson to do up Dr. Cronin, why, that testimony was given by disreputable characters and was not worthy of consideration, except to further show the state's straining for a motive. Oliver Johnson's Funeral Mrs. Mary Tyler, or "Aunt Mary," a* she was familiarly called, heroineof the familiar nursery rhyme, "Mary Had a Little Lamb," is dead at Somerville, Moss. New York, Dec. 12.—The funeral sot-vices over the remains of Oliver Johnson, the famous journalist and abolitionist, who died at his residence, 83 Columoia Heights, Brooklyn, on Tuesday, will lie held in the church of the Messiah, Park avenue and Thirtyfourth street, this city, at 10 o'clock on Friday.

Farmer Benjamin and two grown roils followed the thieves and made a fight for a bunch of horses, but were shot down and left to rot on the mouu- The population is very well to do, and the Portuguese, who feel an interest in the upholding of the royal and imperial system, make an important element in it. A large number of Portuguese colonists, too, land here. The Brazilian population does not amount to over one-third of the city. The Ferieratlou's Convention. Boston, Doc. hJ.— At the second day's session of th'j Federation of Labor, President Gomp.'i s r£ad his report, which states that nearly every trades union in the country is now affiliated with the Federation, and that efforts to establish fraternal relations with and secure the co-operation of other labor organizations have met with good success. The report says the isolated policy pursued by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has prevented the establishment of a federation of railway mon. The results of tho conference with the Knights of Labor are submitted, and it is suggested that tho trade unions voice their sentiments upon the disputed points. Tho necessity for the more strict inforcement of the alien contract labor law and the Chinese exclusion act is set forth. At the afternoon session Mr. Forrest gave his attention to the cause of Martin Burke. There was nothing suspicious in Burke's movements subsequent to May 4. Not a word of evidence had been introduced at the trial to show that Burke was iu the Carlson cottage on the Sight of May 4. The method of identification of Burke in Winnipeg, he said, was unfair, and showed that the state had no hopes of his really being the man that hired Martensen to haul the furniture, or even that it was Burke who rented the cottage. 0 R tain trail, It is feared the damage Westward is considerable.

The chief justice and the associate justices of the supreme court were followed by the chief justice and judges of the court of claims. George Bancroft, the venerable historian, and ex-Justice Strong brought up the rear of the supreme court. Much Intriguing Going On. At present the city is quiet so far as concerns actual disturbances, but there is still much intriguing going on, and serious trouble is likely to occur if the Imperialists and the Portuguese persist in refusing to acknowledge the altered condition of affairs. From all I can hoar there have been innumerable petty attempts of the Imperialists to make disturbances throughout the province of Maranham, but nothing serious enough to place the future of the republic in danger. FATAL EFFORTS AT RESCUE Absolutely Pure Halifax, Dec. 12.—The Mail has created a sensation by publishing the text of a lkte order of the imperial government, ordering extensive additions to the fortifications, and assert that conclusions therefrom are that England fears foreign complications at no late day. The order says emphatically to put all the works in condition to receive an attack. The suburbs are to be surveyed for an entire new fort and system of breastworks. Eighty and 300 ton guns are being shipped at Woolwich, England, and will be hero in a mouth or so. Tho garrison is also to be increased by two entire regiments, and altogether the people of Nova Scotia, and especially those of the capital, are getting excited over these sudden and warlike preparations.

None of the four bodies have been recovered. O'Sullivan's reported declaration that Cronin was a British spy and ought to be killed might have been made, • the attorney continued. What of it? Would not every true Irish patriot who believed a man to bo a spy make such a remark? He might not commit murder, but ho would very freely give utterance to such a declaration, and, therefore, there was nothing significant in the declaration, if O'Sullivan made it. Mr. Forrest closed his speech with an appeal to the jury to acquit his clients because nothing had been proved against them beyond a reasonable doubt. Then came the senate, with Sergeant-at- Arms Canaday leading. The major general of the army was next announced, and he advanced down the aisle clad in his brilliant full dress uniform, and accompanied by Gen. Rosecrans, also in full uniform, and Assistant Adjt.

AlDout half of the men wanted to be president of the trust. Tho owners of some of the mills included in the combine wanted cash instead of stock for their plants, and this the promoters were not willing to give. It is believed that this was the rock on which the combine split. Tho Daily Globe of Maranham is defending earnestly the cause of the republic. Francisco de Paulo Duarte Bel forte, its editor, has tried to speak at meetings, but been cried down. Most of the rich men are leaning towards Conservatism, and are the hope of the Imperialists. One of tho leaders of these is Baron de Guahy, a member of the late chamber of deputies, and one of the greatest millionaires in Brazil, and said to be in consultation with the Conservative leaders in Bahia, Maranham and Ceara, where the cause of Dom Pedro is strongest.

CLOAKS. When the assemblage was seated, Speaker Reed resigned his chair to the vice president, and took a seat to his left. Mr, Morton gave a quick rap with his gavel, and announced that the ceremonies would begin. He had hardly ceased speaking when the marine band concealed in the south corridor to the rear of the presiding officer, struck up "Hail Columbia." When it ceased, prayer was offered by Chaplain J. G. Butler of the senate, and then Mr. Morton announced tb c Hon. Melville W. Fuller, chief justice of file United States, would deliver an oration.

Philadelphia, Dec. 12.—Tho coroner has investigated the supposed death of Annie Mcintosh, at the residence of Mrs. Behm, 1,022 Uber street. Tho coroner's attention was called to the case by an anonymous note. He could find no official record of the death nor of the disposition of the body. It was thought that some crime was being concealed. Mrs. Behm said that the girl had boen treated by Dr. Tait at her house. Dr. Tait denied all knowledge of the matter. Dr. F. M. Murray, however, called on the coroner and said he had treated a young woman at the house named, and had given a certificate of death from peritonitis. Her brother had taken charge of tho body. Mi*s. Behm was placed under arrest, and she then confessed that there had been no such death as was announced. At the hearing Dr. Murray gave a circumstantial account of tltt» girl's illness and death, but when confronted with Mrs. Behm's retraction he broke down and confessed that he had concocted the story in order to defraud the Fraternal Guardians' Benevolent society out of $025, the insurance on the life of Mrs. Annie Mcintosh, of Media, and that the girl was at present alive in this city.

He had become first in peace by bringing to the charge of the practical working of the system he had participated in creating, on behalf of the people whose independence he had achieved, the same sound judgment."

Cheyennk, Wyo., Dec. 13.—A curious story comes iu from the north that the people of Big Horn baBin, Johnston county, have broken up "Kettle Jack's" gang of thieves and cut throats by hauging eleven members of tho baud and driving tho remainder from the country. Kettle Jack and four companions, so the story goes, appeared in that region a year ago equipped for prospecting. They established rendezvous in an isolated spot high up in the mountains and lived like barbarians. The party was content to fish and hunt for some mouths, but being reinforced by other desperate characters coinmonccd to plunder the settlers.

Several stores, offices, manufactories, etc. Washington, Dec. 12.—When Speaker Reed called the house to order yesterday afternoon, Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, was ready with a resolution that the house inform the senate that it was in session and roady to begin the ceremonies of celebrating the centennial of the inauguration of George Washington as president of the United States. After a wait of a few minutes one of the assistant doorkeepers of the house, accompanied by another officer, appeared in the main aisle leading to the bar of the house and announced in a stentorian voice: Mr. Forrest continued his argument against the probability of Mrs. Conklin's ability to identify any horse after only the very brief inspection she had of it while looking out of the window. New York, Dec. 13.—A special cable dispatch to The World from Maranham, Brazil, says: I hare just arrived at St. Luiz de Maranham, 400 miles from Para. I found the place in a repressed state of excitement. There had been lighting between the Imperialists and Republicans immediately after the dethronement of Dom Pedro, and on Nov. 18 the excitement grew so great that the military fired on the p9ople, twenty of whom were killed. The attempt to create a revolt was undoubtedly tho work of the Imperialists and Portuguese. Maranham is naturally inclined to royalism. It is the fourth city of the empire, and the capital of the rich and important province of the same name. Counsel for Ghalklay I.oaoney. accused of the murder of his niaoe In Camden county, N.

The testimony that Coughlin once said that unless a certain north side Catholic kept his mouth shut ho would get done up, was discussed first. That the remark was true the speaker did not deny, but it simply had reference to a feature in the last municipal campaign and no weight should be attached to it, except to show bow hard the state was straining to find a motive. As for the testimony that Coughlin endeavored to hire Sampson to do up Dr. Cronin, why, that testimony was given by disreputable characters and was not worthy of consideration, except to further show the state's straining for a motive. Oliver Johnson's Funeral Mrs. Mary Tyler, or "Aunt Mary," a* she was familiarly called, heroineof the familiar nursery rhyme, "Mary Had a Little Lamb," is dead at Somerville, Moss. New York, Dec. 12.—The funeral sot-vices over the remains of Oliver Johnson, the famous journalist and abolitionist, who died at his residence, 83 Columoia Heights, Brooklyn, on Tuesday, will lie held in the church of the Messiah, Park avenue and Thirtyfourth street, this city, at 10 o'clock on Friday.

Following them came Attorney General Miller and Secretary Proctor, Postmaster General Wanamaker and Secretary Tracy, while Secretary Rusk and Private Secretary Halford brought up the rear. A Small Brazilian Population. At first they only slaughtered beef and stolo food, but becoming bolder ran horses into Utah and Montana. Farmer Benjamin and two grown roils followed the thieves and made a fight for a bunch of horses, but were shot down and left to rot on the mouu- The population is very well to do, and the Portuguese, who feel an interest in the upholding of the royal and imperial system, make an important element in it. A large number of Portuguese colonists, too, land here. The Brazilian population does not amount to over one-third of the city. The Ferieratlou's Convention. Boston, Doc. hJ.— At the second day's session of th'j Federation of Labor, President Gomp.'i s r£ad his report, which states that nearly every trades union in the country is now affiliated with the Federation, and that efforts to establish fraternal relations with and secure the co-operation of other labor organizations have met with good success. The report says the isolated policy pursued by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has prevented the establishment of a federation of railway mon. The results of tho conference with the Knights of Labor are submitted, and it is suggested that tho trade unions voice their sentiments upon the disputed points. Tho necessity for the more strict inforcement of the alien contract labor law and the Chinese exclusion act is set forth. At the afternoon session Mr. Forrest gave his attention to the cause of Martin Burke. There was nothing suspicious in Burke's movements subsequent to May 4. Not a word of evidence had been introduced at the trial to show that Burke was iu the Carlson cottage on the Sight of May 4. The method of identification of Burke in Winnipeg, he said, was unfair, and showed that the state had no hopes of his really being the man that hired Martensen to haul the furniture, or even that it was Burke who rented the cottage. 0 R tain trail, It is feared the damage Westward is considerable.

The president and Secretary Blaine took Mats in front of the first tier of desks and on the immediate right of the main aisle. The cabinet members took seats on the left of the main aisle. The chief justice and the associate justices of the supreme court were followed by the chief justice and judges of the court of claims. George Bancroft, the venerable historian, and ex-Justice Strong brought up the rear of the supreme court. Much Intriguing Going On. At present the city is quiet so far as concerns actual disturbances, but there is still much intriguing going on, and serious trouble is likely to occur if the Imperialists and the Portuguese persist in refusing to acknowledge the altered condition of affairs. From all I can hoar there have been innumerable petty attempts of the Imperialists to make disturbances throughout the province of Maranham, but nothing serious enough to place the future of the republic in danger. FATAL EFFORTS AT RESCUE Absolutely Pure Halifax, Dec. 12.—The Mail has created a sensation by publishing the text of a lkte order of the imperial government, ordering extensive additions to the fortifications, and assert that conclusions therefrom are that England fears foreign complications at no late day. The order says emphatically to put all the works in condition to receive an attack. The suburbs are to be surveyed for an entire new fort and system of breastworks. Eighty and 300 ton guns are being shipped at Woolwich, England, and will be hero in a mouth or so. Tho garrison is also to be increased by two entire regiments, and altogether the people of Nova Scotia, and especially those of the capital, are getting excited over these sudden and warlike preparations. Does England Expect War? The fellow would drive cattle off the range in daylight and dispose of them bodily at trade points 200 or 300 miles away.

Would not every true Irish patriot who believed a man to bo a spy make such a remark? He might not commit murder, but ho would very freely give utterance to such a declaration, and, therefore, there was nothing significant in the declaration, if O'Sullivan made it. Mr. Forrest closed his speech with an appeal to the jury to acquit his clients because nothing had been proved against them beyond a reasonable doubt. Then came the senate, with Sergeant-at- Arms Canaday leading.
