The last and most important of these places is Kew Albany, which stand in a fair way to get what it wants in the matter. Several days ago a proposition was sent the railroad by a number of the wealthiest residents ot ew Albany, asking; that instead ef deriding dttfniteiy on stopping his line at Jeaeraonrille. at the enuanee to the proposed bridge, tot i'awcett build on down to ew Alhany, six miles further west, He was promised substantial aid in case he did so, and was asked te make a proposition to the town in ease its offer was rejected.

Ky, Oct. 19. Special) There have been a number ef published statement in newspapers recently affecting the credit of the Kentucky Midland railroad which. In the, light of the large subscriptions from itliis county and city, keep the people apprehensive over the fear ot losing the control ever their railroad. Judge.

William Lindsay, the President of the road, was questioned to-day as to the foundation for the report from Paris that Mx. Huntington is negotiating for the control of the Midland in order to" prevent its extension into Eastern Kentucky and eventually to the Virginia State line. Said he: "Absolutely none. Ine Kentucky Midland is not for sale. Air.

Huntington has never intimated to the management of the Midland a desire to purchase or control it; nor has any one interested with or professing to act for Mx. Huntington given such an intimation. There has been no proposition to sell and no ofier by Mr. Huntington or any one eke to purchase or -control it As far as the directory know, or believe, the stockholders propose te hold the road and complete it, and all reprta to the contrary are the merest intentions 'or assumptions of those who speak without information upon the subject." What aUuut the statement once published that the bourbon county subscription for 1250,000 of Midland stock depended upon the running of ears from Georgetown to Paris by November 20 It is nut true said the Judge. The completion of the road to I'aria has nothing to do with the Bourbon county subscription.

The company has until January 1, 1891. to earn the Bourbon eountr subscription." This will be gratifying intelligence ta the citizens of the counties of Franklin. Scott sod Hourlmn, in whose interests the road waa built and designed to be operated, and any sale that would take place to deprive them of these bene, tits and make the running of tbto road a secondary consideration to the purpose of controlling it as a road liable to compete with any other road would eer- tainly be diametrically opened to the wishes ot the people of these counties.

Thirty-five ear-loads of these rails passed through the city yesterday, and part of these were shipped to the Evaniville division, while the others went to the 6k Louis extension from Mu Vernon to Belleville, where track ht being laid at the rate ef one mile a day. General Manager Evans is ust back from a trip over tne extension, and by him the work is said to be progressing wonderfully.

The track will be completed into Belleville mt lAeeemoer at tne outsiae, ana on that day a train will be run from Louisville to St. Louis over tracks belonging to the Air Line, something which heretofore has been impossible.

the land about Piaeville end and are connected with the en terprises now in progress for tbe development of this rich mineral region, seri ously and particularly regret lite renewal of the bloody strife between, tbe Turners and the Howards in Harlan county. These capitalists have come here from Louisville and other cities, and they are constantly holding out in ducements for other men ot wealth to Join them. Their dreams of marvellous riches to be easily acquired have been rudely disturbed by the crack of the deadly revolver in Harlan. In most In stances, their regrets are not that men have been murdered and law and society outraged, dot at alL They are sorry only of the effect all this lawlessness, will have pa the Investment of money. the opening of coal mines and the build ing of iron furnaces in the valley of the Upper Cumberland.

Capital, they know. is timid, and it will be slow to come to a community where crime Is rampant and law is a dead letter. Te the average stranger these gentle men declare that the reports of the crimes in Harlan are exaggerated, and they even undertake to belittle their sensational features to the newspaper correspondents. One of these persons said to me yesterday: It is a shame for the newspapers te devote so much ot their space to ac counts ef these troubles. tell run there is very little truth in these sensa tional reports, and, even if they were au iure, wnat ao utey, alter ail, amount to Here is the whole affair in a nntahell: A few desperadoes, banded together on a aiae, nave a Hostile meeting, boots are exchanged.

One man is killed and seven or eizht ethers wounded. Tbe whole story ought to have been told in a ten-line paragraph. Yet, there have been published, day after day, under glaring head-lines, columns of horrible details. All the murders ef the past twenty years have been recalled and tun accounts of tnem paraded with their ghastly features. It is a creat mistake.

snd will do incalculable harm to the IV, vi.va I.MiteJ a the news ot these crimes should be altogether suppressed Ves, I do," he replied excitedly, and. I am in favor of encouraging newspaper wen just as ucue as possible; This man baa, of eourse. verr nar. row ideas. He would be onlv too haonv to see coiumn aiter coiumn in the news-pspert devoted to a description of the material resources ot this section and the movements being made to develop ine iuuueu weaitn ot tne mountain.

Ul be wants nothing published that might frighten a man with a dollar in his pocket, who is oa bis way to Piaeville and would be induced by the put lioation te go in another direction. He forgets, too, a thing more important, which is that, the reign of lawleasnen in Harlan county can not long flourish under the gaze of tbe civilized public As long as these hardy mountaineers fight among themselves and the knowledge of their crimes is confined to themselves, there can be no hope of an improved condition. But a truthful presentation of their methods to the people of the State will arouse an interest in their lawless doings and sentiment against them, and, in time, the waves of that sentiment will reach even to Harlan Court-house, stimulating the officers and Jurors to a proper sense of their duty. A few convictions in the courts will put a speedy end to the vendetta. The truth of history Is simply repeating itself in Harlan county.

We saw precisely the same condition ef a Hairs in Breathitt and again in Kowan county. The Breathitt troubles terminated when tbe leaders were sent to the penitentiary. In Rowan, the courts, owing '-to certain peculiar conditions, proved ineffectual. The friends of law and ord-1 finally took-things in their own bands and killed tbe chiefs of the lawlos band. eUnce then there has been comparative in Ho wan.

Of course. there is crime everywhere, total escape. irom its, luignttng influence being impossible. But it is organized crime at which society rebels. It is very difficult to get at the precise origin of the feud in Harlan.

But really nobody cares how it originated The existing conditions only attract tha attention of those who desire the supremacy of the law. The Teud is there, a diairrace to the good citizens of tbe county, and a blot upon the civilizatiou of the State. The desperado, Wils srd, under indictment for murder, and be refuses to recognize 'the jurisdiction of the court. The officers are powerless to arre him. He has his own reasons for defying the authorities, but they are not sufficient.

He may be or msy not be guilty of tbe crime with which he is charged but he Is certainly amenable to the orders and process; of the court, and the whole power a the State should be nsed, if necessary, to effect his capture and bring him to trial. Yet, in one sene, Wils Howard is but a natural, though somewhat strtravated, product this sparfcly-scttlcti mountainous region. here there is no population whatever, there is no nerd lor law. and hence there is none. Where the population is most dense snd societr the most complex, find tbe greatest respect for the forms of law, and the most vigorous enforcement of lta man dates, la these mountains, the area of a county is large and tbe number of its people is smalL There arc few terms of court only two in each year for tlte trial of criminal eases and few officials.

In a 'city one meets a Dolieeman everv few blocks, a constant reminder of tha oversnadowing presence of justice. In Harlan county one may live six months or a year, and never see a Uetuty If one wishes not to see him. it is easy to avoid a minion of the law. by climbing a mountain or taking refuge in a cava. Thus the oeoole there come in contact with tbe authorities so sel dom that It is not strange I bey soon accustom themselves to forgetting there are statutes and courts and officer.

Ths one certain curt for the disease la Harlan i the building of railroads snd tbe Influx of new population. While good people lire nuietly oa then ianns, -pmg carerm oniy to keep oa hand provisions to supply their families for a twelve-month ahead, they make them vires as contented ai possible. They hear of the mnrder in their nrisU-horaoods aod ah udder, but they niuke no effort to aaiUt in brtngicjr the murderer te punishment. But when a citizen becomes Interested la town lota. coal coke evens, fron furnace: and factories, he shrieks loudly for law and order.

He Is willing to lose time to go on a Jury If it will afford mm an opportunity to send a thief to tbe penitentiary or a murderer to tne gallows. When a visitor to this re Eton eon-templates the bustling activity, in a busineas way. at Pineville and Miridles-boro, it indeed, somewhat difficult to believe that over in Harlan eountr, only thirty miles away, two armed bands of desperate and lawless men. numbering fifty or sixty to a crowd, are hunting each other, and carrying on a of extermination. The troubles at Harlan Court-house have not been exaggerated.

I have been shown letters-written by reliable citizens ot the which made the condition of affairs even worse than they have been described in the newspapers. One man wrote to a citizen here: u. The women and children are in a state of terror, snd, we expect every nigbt that the town will be attacked by Wils Howard's gangs. Keep a lookout for any of our friends coming this way from below and tell them, for God's sake, to stay away. It is.

not safe for any body to come here at A minister ot the gospel left here last Friday, intending to go to Harlan Court House. Six miles up the river he met a man who told him that if he proceeded on his Journey, be would do so at the risk of his life. The preacher, wisely concluding that there was little prospect for successful missionary work in that quarter, returned to this place. He will remain until there is a trace declared by the 'warring factions. --a a a In spite of tbe troubles, I am told that there is almoet certain to be built, within the next year, a railroad from this place throuch Haxlan county to Big Stone Gap.

It will be an extension of the Louisville and Kashville system-Their present line leaves Cumberland river a mile and a half above this place, and proceeds up Yellow Creek to Cumberland Gsp. Middlesbore is on Yellow Creek. By following the vallev of the Cumberland, the company will get a more direct route to Big Stone The timber and minerals in Har lan are said to be finer and rlclier' than any other county of the great mineral When the whistle of the locomotive awakes the echoes la the ravines of Clear Fork, Poor Fork and Martin's Fork, the famous Howard-Turner feud will soon drop out of sight and will exist no more, except in tradition. It is only a matter of a few years since Bell countv wss cureed with feuds, and one long, narrow street in the old town of ilnevuie ran. red witn tne niooa oi men and women, alike -victims to violence.

But conditions have changed, and to-day the county, although holding many desperate men, has no organized gangs of cut-throats while the new town of HneviUe is blossoming like the reee. Kew buildings are springing np and nrnatwrir.v ahfiunda. A. cold, cheerless rain has been falling in the mountains almost continuously since Friday morning. This has no doubt dampened tbe ardor, as well as the gunpowder oi toe warriors.

Wils Howard Routed. fttrbonrsvllle, Ky, Oct. t0.rSpe: claL) Latest advices from Harlan county are that County Jadge Lewis and his forces have got everything pretty much their own way. Tbe posse numbers six ty-flve men, all well equipped for fighting. Judge Lewis pays his men $2 per day out of the county levy.

He re quires tbem to draa every morning ana they ore now able to go through the ordinary manual with a good deal of ex- pertneas. Lately Judge Lewis has issued an order requiring all citizens to surrender their arms to him. and he keeps sqnads of bis men scouring the county, who take possesbion of all the weapons they eon find, lite Judge claims he has written authority from Gov. Buckner giving aim this power. He also claims that the Howard gang hat been declared outlaws by the same authority and he intends to kill them whenever and wherever be can find them.

One thing is certain tha Howard crowd it badly most of them have probably left the county. Berry Howard Says He Dldat.

The campaign of tbe Equal Rights party of Brooklyn was opeued last evening by a mass meet ing, at which the nomination of Mrs. Emma Beckwith as' a candidate for Mayor of Brooklyn was ratified.

It waa when witness O'Connor was called to testify in regard, to the proceedings in Camp Clan-na-Gael. Mr. Forrest, on behalf of the other defendants, bad objected to the of O'Connor's testimony. Then Mr. Forrest, counsel for Beggs, said: "On behalf of the defendant Beggs, we want the record to show that no tbjection is made on his rars to the introduction of this wn.

John F. O'Connor, a numhM famous Camp 20 of the ran.na-n.i of which Beggs, Burke, Coughlin. and other defendant were members, was next placed on the stand. O'Connor waa Recording Secretary of the. camp when Beggs was Senior Guardian.

O'Connor said ft was strange that our camp never got, the report when he beard it read tn another earno in t.h i.k. beard a man read it, and would state i.uc ww tne camp and the man who read it if we demanded it.

BOp. pose ao" I guess so" I cant sav," were favorite forms of ree-lv with him Finally be was brought to admit that he made a speech, at the meeting ot Camp 20 when tbe matter of the repor of the Triangle Trial Committee caiie up. After making several attempts to explain the circumstances under which he made the speech, and getting the narrative mixed up with statements aa to himself, so thst it was impossible to understand what it was ail alout, heaid: As far as I remember. Cant. O'Connor made a certain statement thst this Le caron.

who was a witness, it seems, before the Parnell Commission at the time, was a paid agent ot tbe executive hnd of tha Irish organization in this country." What else did he say about the i una t- Answer ue saia, tunic I rot no. I remember very strong when I heard it that there wae $38,000. I am not positive whether there was or $40.000 there was of the funds or una organization gone to Caroq for tone object in England or Ireland. He did not eticrify where it was sent exactly, but I have got a general impression it was spent in England Q. Did be speak then of having heard tne report or tne trial committee re- oaivea anotaer camp A.

Yes. This speech, the witness said. much excitement in the camp and was the cause of the speech whioh witness made. After it he went down stairs snd teak a drink. What made The wit, seas angry was the thought that Le Caroa got anv ef ths Clan's fund for any purpose whatever, a Li It also madi him hot" to thst tha report ut the trial committee had been (riven cat in other camps sooner than in Cams 20.

He supposed that others felt in the same way, tor wcy mi got up and spoko. The next wlfcse waa Miehael Kelly, foreman of the metal department of the Adams A Westiake Manufactur. ing Cum puny, and Junior Cuardiaa of lamp at tne time oi tbe mee ing of February 0 last. Ue to.d ef the pro. ceediafci, though bis meiaorr was deficient- as to details.

He remembered that Foy bad called for the report of the coasiAiii-c waicn tciee ue triangle, and that this demand grew out of a statement by Capt. O'Connor to tho fleet that he (O'Connor) had heard the report of the committee read in the camp of which Dr. Cronin was a -member, and thst Cronin was the man who read it. 11 bis last statement is in contradiction of the evidence on this subject hereto fore given, snd of ail published statement heretofore made. Ther agree in sating that Capt.

O'Connor did not men. tion Dr. Cronin 's name, but said that he would give the name of the man and the number of tbe eamti if the Senior Guardian demanded them.) ne witness then went on to ray that it did not seem to him that any excitement resulted from O'Connor speech though be believed a couple of men demanded tbe appointment of a committee to investigate the matter ot tbe reading of the report in the ether The witness believed that Dan Cough-lin, one of the defendants, waa present. The cross-examination of Mr. Kelly brought out tho fact that though he anew or toe trial oi tne triangle he did not know who constituted that body and only- learned their names subsequently, when they were published ta the newspapers.

The next witness was" Anthony J. Ford, Past Guardian of Camp 20. He wLineu at meeting of the camp Iwtriek McGarry and Richard Powers made speeches denouncing the triangle and that Senior Guardian Beggs replied, defending Alexander Sullivan, one of tbe member? of the tx-angle. I waa a pretty warm discussion and Beggs said it would have to or war. or words to that effect.

Witness mid that at a meeting ox tne camp a March he (the witness) had called the attention of the camp awwurna uias were waa danger that members of the opposition order, the United Order ef lienntiea miht succeed in getting some ef their number uuuawa into imn-na-Oacl camps, and pointed to the defendant, Sullivan, as his authority for tbe statement. This was after a talk with O'Sullivan who bad been present when Dr. Cronin instituted a camp of the Clan-na-Gael in Lake view. I Stephen Colleran. a laborer, was the last witness.

An attempt waa made to fc a detailed statement of the proceed- tu vi yuip on toe mgnt or reb-rUHrv 8. from bim. hut with nw. Colleran waa ouektiaimi ium immmun as to wnat ne anew the relations of the various defendants with each other and as to what he hud seen or tneir movements. The defendant Martin iiurka and th had, it was developed, gone together te the office of the defend nt Beggs twice in January and once early in February.
