It. Trent yesterday, in this county, found him dead iu a burn in iletcalf County tins morning. They had followed him to a I)r. Cole's, near Sulphur Well, and were there informed that Franklin had been there about nightfall asking for lodging, and that it was refused him. as they had already heard of the killing, and that he said be would stay over night in a barn near by.

The barn was at once surrounded, but no one entered, well knowing that Franklin would resist arrest to the laxt. and that he was prepared to do so as he still carried his Winchester repeating rifle and two pistols and knives. The posse now consisted of about thirty men, and they remained on guard during the whole night. About sunrise this morning one of the ollicers tired the barn. and to his horror found Franklin lying on his back stark and cold, with a bullet hole ia the middle of his forehead and still grasping a pistol in his right hand.

Ho had been dead several, hours. It is thought he had found out that he was surrounded, and fearing that he would be mobbed at once shot himself in order to escape death as their hands; and that the shooting was done while a thunderstorm, which lasted several hours, was raging, as they had heard no shots during the night.

Al W. Xum-ler. Jof Dayton, is the only candidate thus far announcod for the Secretaryship of the Central Committee. The probability Isthe Executive Committee will consist ef thirteen members, the same as last year. There will be but little opposition to the re-elcotion of W.S.

Chairman Hoge. of the Grievance Committee of the Brotherhood of Engineers, and Chairman Murphy, occupying the same position in the Firemen's Brotherhood, were arrested at their rooms ia the National Hotel this morning. The prisoners were taken completely by surprise. Both men were taken to the Police Head-auarters and locked up. THE TWO CHIF-FS Were charged with conspiracy.

The much-talked-of circular in which. Hoge is alleged to have requested Brotherhood men to hire themselves secretly to the Road and then disable the engines is said to be the basis of the charge against Hoge. Chairman Murphy is charged with being an accomplice. General Manager Stone swore out the wan-ants last night, and they were given to the officers, to be served early this morning. Attorney Collier, of the road, said this morning that the prisoners would be arraigned before a Justice and'a continuance taken, as the company was not yet ready to push its case.

He asserted, however, that tbe evidence in the possession of tbe company was Conclusive. Hoge and Murphy were taken before Justice K. H. White, but asked for a change of venue. Upon the prisoners being brought to Justice Lyon the railroad attorneys demanded a continuance.

The Justice was about to fix bail at U.000 apiece, when the company's lawyers protested, and after some parley the amount was increased to S1.500 for each of the men. BONDS Wr.HK PROMPTLY And Messrs. Hoge and Slurphy released until Saturday. Unlike the other strikers arrested, they are armined under State, not Federal statutes-. Their arrest wan made under the recently enacted Merritt Conspiracy law.

If cop victed. tbe penalty is a term at hard labor in the Penitentiary. Two other names were on the list with lioge and Murphy for arrest John J. Kelly and John H. McUilliver.

Midnight consultation of the ofiiceinof the company led to the arrests. Two or three detectives. Manager Stone. Freight Agent Paul Morton and Attorney Collier were working all night on the evidence against the alleged conspirators, and it was not until st an early hour this morning that they decided to arrest Hose and Murphy. Then the little party broke up.

the warrants were procured, and the officials retired for a few hours of rest. Then they arose to watch the result of their work. "Well, we've landed our men," said Paul Morton to a reporter soon after toe an-noniioenient of the arrests was made. "What do these arrests signify "They mean that Mr. Hoge and Mr.

Murphy have been AgaKSTTB In connection with that circular, and I think we can prove that the circnlnr came from them." No more arrests will be made in this city, it is said, but it is hinted that several strikers in other places will be behind the bars before long. The warrant for Hoge and Murphy was placed in the hauds of Inspector Bon field and turned orer by him to two officers. It was shortly alter 6 a. m. when the officers proceeded to the National Hotel, on Clark street where Hoge aud his wife.

Murphy and several other Brotherhood are stopping. The officers were posted and needed to ask no questions before goinu to the rooms of the men they wanted. One went to Hose's door. Koom 15. and rapped.

There was no response and the knock was repeated in more energetic manner. This aroused Ho who opened the door. "What is wanted?" he asked. "Mr. Hoce." was tbe reply.

"THAT'S MY SAME." Then I have a warrant for your arrest." said the officer. "All right: I will be with you in a moment." Hoge expressed no surprise, but hastily dressed himself and joined the officer in the hall. In the mean time the other officer had gone to Koom 27. which he knew was occupied by Murphy, who came to the door in response to his rap. ifurpby was very drowsy, and bad evidently had little sleep.

"Whose room is thisr" asked the officer. "Charlee Thomas'." was the reply. "1 thought Murphv occupied It-" "Well, so he does; that's my name, but niv less your business. Ss of great importance I am too tired to talk now." "But it is of importance. I have a.

warrant for yonr arrest." i Murphy was awake now. -His face grew as pale as the night-robe he wore, lie stas-vered back, grasping the door-frame for support. "A warrant!" he gasped. "What for. for God sake?" "It.

charges yon with conspiracy against the B. and Q. Road," and the warrant was read to him Murphy dressed himself slowly. He was too nervous to proceed as leisurely as did IToge. A light alpaca coat and vest and a straw hat completed his attire, and he shivered as he went out into the chill morning air.

Jioge spoke to mm cncrnuiiy. out aiur- phy was not ia a mood to respond, and little was said until the two were placed in cells. aionsn rwisosi bars. Attosoey David was rnunine around the station in an to tind out where the prisoners were. Attorney Sullivan stood in quiet dignity, apparently oblivious of all that was going on, Inspector Bontield was carrying on miscellaneous conversation with a host of officers and tbe two prisoner were locked in their cells down-stairs.

Hoge was sitting easily on his bench. He did not seem at all terrified at his predica ment, and smiled good-naturedly when the reporter approached. "Yes. I was surprised." he said: "greatly surprised. But they had no trouble in arresting me.

183S. To Trri SwrrcHitmt Gentlemen: I am just in receipt of a communication from yourGriey-ance Committee U105). saying yon do not deem it necessary for me to meet you in a body to talk over the matter referred toby said committee, as suggested by me in a former Vomqiunication. and in which there appeared to be a mtsuuderctanding between you and the officer of these companies. I regret this action -on your part, as I believe the only proper means to adjust a difficulty of this kind is by a fair and candid consultation between all parties interested.

As you have already declined to meet me as requested. I deny most emphatically that any agreement between yon and the officers of those companies has been broken by me or by any of the officers, as charged b7 you. We can't and wifl not longer concede our right to reduce our force as the business of the lines demand, and while we appreciate your services as satisfactory during the past few months, we deny yon tbe right to dictr.tein any manner how our business shall I han died I therefore notify you that uulessthe day men report for duty at 3 o'clock a. and the night men at o'clock p. m.

to-day. you will be considered as no longer in our service, and your places will be filled by other men. Yours rep-ct fully, J-LG. At three o'clock Superintendent Fish was requested to erive the men a half-hour longer. At half-past three Mr.

Fish aud Superintendent Hohl. of the Kansas City. St. Joe and Council Blufl's. met the Grievance Committee, and were in session until five o'clock, but were unable to agree.

The Burlington is not receiving an freight from connectinz lines, bnt announces that it will make an effort to transact business as usual to-morrow morning. A member of the Grievance Committee of the strikers said to-night: "The switchmen have used every endeavor to keep out of this trouble, and finally, as a last resort, when no justice seems illinv to bo accorded to them, have simply quit work for the honor of themselves aud the organization of which most of them are members. We will not yield." At a meeting of the switchmen to-night, at which the engineers ami. firemen were represented, it was decided to notify the different yordraosters and Superintendents tha after twelve o'clock to-morrow the switchmen, engineers and riren.cn will refuse to handle ai)r ears' from tie. If the r'oads attempt to force the handling of Burliu rwt cars a general strike wUl ensue.

Thomas McNeary. proprietor of Uhrig's Cave Garden, this morning said that himself aud the members of Conried's Opera Compauy felt very much hurt at the allusions made in connection with the Norton sseandal to the Cave. He said: "I know nothing about Short's con- Uinction with this matter. Now I am con vinced that he is one of the movers in this thing, and I think it to my own interest and for, the safety of mrproperty to get rid of Short and Dunn and of every body who had any hand in effecting the ruin of these two homes.

I want to run the Cave a a respectable place of amusement, and I can not do this if persons connected with such scandals areallowed to remain. The ladies and gentlemen of the Cave Company are mnch'dis-tsesecii over the revelations." IWbv McNeary said Short had a lea-e of the Gafder. but that would not prevent his from the Bibnacemcnt.

He had sent for a car rlh ge to go out riding, but was too unwell, and sent it away. About nine o'clock Thornton came to me and asked me to get a surrey with lamps for Moore, who wanted to take Mrs.

Norton out to Forest Park for a breath of fresh air. I said I would get it for them, and so when I had nui-jhed counting ny about half-past nine o'clock I went to Marshall's stable on Olive street, west of Jefferson avenue, gut the surrey and drove around to Moore's house. Moore and Mrs. Norton came out with satchels. -Tliat was the first I xnew of their intention to leave: but I thought Mrs.

Norton was going somewhere to be reach of harm from her husband. Moore asked me when we got out to Forest Park if I knew where the St. Charles Rock road was. I told him no. and he said.

'You drive as I We drove over Union avenue to the St. Charles road, and then one I asked Moore where he was going. He saidr 'To St. Charles: I can't Mir out all night: my 'folks will be crying murder if I don't get I said: 'Why didn't you tell mcT "Didu't Thornton tell you, he said.

The man said "No," and told us there was no hotel at the river. We if there as any place in the neighborhood where we stop all night. He said if we Went back about a quarter of a mile we could Cud a road that went to Bridgeton. There was a hotel there. We turned back and drove, abont four miles before we got to Bridgeton.

One of the lamps went out on the way. and THE BOAD WAS PITCH PARK. At Bridgeton we found the hotel bad noen burned down. and we couldn't find any place where tiey would taxe us in. People seemed to think we were bank robbers or something of that sort.

We cot a colored man to hunt us up a place, and he found a saloon-keeper who would take us into bis bouse. Moore land Mrs. Norton had a room, and I bad a cot ia tbe hall. I slept a little with my clothes but the place was strange aud the mosquito were bad. so I was up at four o'clock.

I was tramping up. and down the road when iMoore came out. and said: 'Good Both he anu Mrs. Norton were in very good humor, both at night and morning. They were not at all nervous.

They didn't talk about Mrs. Moore on the trip out during the night at all. but Mrs. Norton asked me if I had heard any thing about Johnny. I told, ber what Mrs.

Ramsey had said about his beina sick, and they if we had known that we could have taken the train. That occurred when we were near Forest Park, and it was that remark that led me to ask. where they were going, and I heard for the first that we were BOV7SS rOS ST. OH AXLES. At about seven o'clock Saturday morning, after breakfast, vre set out for Bridgetoa and crossed the river at St.

Moore 'and Mrs. Norton passed the night very com fortably in Room No. 41, on the second floor of the Copeland. The door was slightly ajar all night, and Officer Nichols remained on duty, keeping close wstch of the prisoners. They arose about seven o'clock, having slept several hours.

Breakfast was ordered to their room. and. in company with the officer, both Moore and Mrs. Norton ate very heartily. "It is the first time I took meals witn a policeman." said Moore: "but I relished it all the same.

During the absence of Moore with the officer this morning. Mrs. Norton, while under guard of another officer, talked with your correspondent more freely of ber relations with John W. Norton than she has at any time yet "I would never have left St. Louis with Mr.

Moore." said she. "had my hnsband not threatened to take my life. When I went to my home on Friday they told me that JfOBTOj; WOULD KILL ME, And it was in fear of my life that I left. No other woman but myself could have lived with him ten years, and I fairly worshiped him. but his treatment of me was that of a brute.

He cursed me. he beat me. and dragged me about like a dog. and yet I lived with him because I loved him. and because I thought his heart would change.

I don't believe there is a man in St. Louis who has the unbearable aud uncontrollable temper that Norton has. At times he is like a madman. He never had cause to think of me as other than a loving and dutiful wife, for I was most devoted to him every day of my life. When he was sick I never left his bedside, but watched him day after day aud night after night, until I was almost wasted away.

Then those statements ttiat Mr. Moore had been visiting our hou.ie 'daily are the most MAHflors LIKi Why. he has not. during the three months we lired there, wt foot within my houw. Then, those s-tories that we have stolen Mr.

Norton's money are just simply awful. I have not one cent of Norton's money, and he knows it. He knows I have never had bis money. I have about SUaOQof my own money, which is all I have got. and-our arrest on the charge of grand larceny in stealing $20,000 is preposterous." "Would you object to returning to St.

Lonis?" was asked of Mrs. Norton. "I don't want to go back if I can help it, for I am ufraid of Norton, but if tbe officers say so. we of course go." "What will your frieuds there think of this encapaUe?" "I don't care much what they think of me. A great mauy of them have turned against me any way.

I'm not living for the world so much now as for my own happiness. I am sori7 we are in this trouble, but it will come out all right.

Norton does not appear to be troubled in the leat.a She chatted and luuahcd with the newspaper men and others who visited their room this morning, aud. being of a romantic disposition, she really seemed to enjoy the situation. But Moore does not appear so hnppy. He is beginning to realize that there is more reality than romance in the ali'air. He talks pleasantly with those who approach him, but is not very cheerful in spirits.

He refuses to talk'about any phu.e of the escapade. When questioned about their future plans he refers invariably to his attorneys.

Norton, and Mrs. Caswell, of St. Louis, an intimate friend of Mrs. Norton, arrived from Su Louis at twelve o'clock to-day, and at once proceeded to tbe Copeland Hotel, where Moore and Mrs. Norton aro under arrest.

Mrs. Caswell hastened to the room where the runaways are held captives. Entering the room. Mrs. Norton recognized her with a slight nod.

but did not arise from her chair or ofler her hand. Moore looked at Mrs. Caswell, but did not speak to her. Then Mrs. Caswell turned upon Moore and abused him bitterly.

"Yon wretch." she exclaimed, "yon are to blame for all this. Emma would never have left her husband if it had not been for your work. You' have ruined your own family and have mined Mr. Norton's home, Arc you not ashamed of yourself, yoa vile wretch?" Moore paid no attention to Mrs. Caswell, but became very much irritated and paced up and down the room in an excited manner.

Mrs. Norton attempted to stop Mrs. Caswell in her abuse of Moore, and exclaimed: "No: be is not to blame. He did not make me eave Norton. I take all the responsibility for that myself." Then Mrs.

Caswell turned to the woman and pleaded with her to return to St. Louis. "If you will go back to St. Louis with me." said Mrs. Caswell, "you can go Wtk to your home and TtU SECTIVX tOW With open arms.

If you don't want to live with him you can have the old home and Mr. Norton will stay at the hotel." At this Mrs. Norton broke tears'and between her sobs declared that she would not return. "He will kill me if I go back." she exclaimed. "He threatened to take my life, and I dare not.

go back. No. I will not go back: I will stay with him whom I love." Mrs. Caswell then threw her arms around Mrs. Norton and again pleaded with ber to return to her home, bat she declared positively that she would not.

Mrs. Caswell then left her. Mrs. Norton this morning received three telegrams from friends in Baltimore. Md offering her any assistance in their power.

Mrs. Norton replied that she was getting along very nicely and was glad to know that she still had some friends left. The habeas corpus proceedings have been adjourned to to-morrow morning. Ex-Governor Charles P. Johnson has been retained to defend Moore in case be is taken back to St.

Facts in the Kentucky Tragedy. How the Fighting Mountaineers Attended Church Services, And Broke Up the Meeting' by Opening- the Battle. The List of Yietima Who Fell en Either SiiM Cessation of Hostilities Until After the Obsequies. rnCtAI. DISPATCH TO TBI UttCIBH.

KxoxviixE, July 10. Never before in the history of Eastern Kentucky has there prevailed so intense excitement ss now exists in Whiteley County over Sunday's bloody battle. To more fully get at the details of the terrible tragedy an Esgrinxa man to-day visited that section. Laurel Fork Church, an ancient log building used by tbe Baptist congregation, was found in a weird, lonely section, fifteen miles from the railroad and nestling in among the hills of Pine Mountain, Near by ran Laurel Fork, a branch of the Cumberland IUver, and every ugv.aiut-exiibiU'd -evidence; f' only a primitive civilization. The inhabitants there are farmers, moonshiners and hunters, and much of their time ia taken up in SETTL1XO OLP FEVIIS.

They are, however, hospitable, and if a stranger makes known his business safety is assured. The incident leading to the fatal fight of Sunday occurred a month ago. Mitch Rose accused Tom Fustion. his brofher-in-law. of stealing fc.

This led to bad blood, and every effort to effect a compromise of the difference proved futile. Hose and Fustion have a number oi times sought each other's life-blood, and more khan one personal encounter has occurred. Friends sided with the determined meu, aud the result was each bad a dozen well-armed followers, and war was declared ten days ago. Saturday each faction gave it out that its members would worship at Laurel Fork the next day. Quickly following there was a rush to arms, and every preparation made for attack aud deiense.

As if by appointment, each faction met in the church-yard while the shepherd of the little mountain flock was taking his text for the regular discourse. That sermon was never completed, as the BRAVE MOl'XTAIXEERS OPENED PIKE Upon each other, and shot succeeded shot for several minutes, and blood began to flow freely. The antagonist having exhausted their ammunition, gave up the contest, but not without the loss of life. Kid-died with leaden vengeance, stretched in their own blood, lay Ewel Law-son and his son John. Near by were Tom, Jim and Enos Fushon.John Par-ton.

Scott Par ton, Mitch Hose. Hiram Rose, his father, and Lewis Perry, all badly hurt. The little church was made a temporary hospital, and all available aid rendered the wounded. be injured men have been removed to their several homes, and Tom Fushon baa since died. Hiram Base has his rungs Hull of shot snd can only live a few hours.

The other men are badly injured. Scott Parton and Enos Fushen will probably die. No further trouble is feared at present, but when the dead have beeu buried aud the wounded get better or die. there will no dout be a revival of the feud. KILLED BY HER AUNT.

Mrs. Brooks and her daughter remained at the hotel, and did not accompany the attorney to the Executive Office. Besides the reporters and Private Secretary Laatis only a few other persons were present at the open-ing. Hon. John I.

Martin began by reading a statement written by Maxwell himself, a petition signed by eighty-seven of the leading lawyers of the Su Louis Bar. a petition signed by J. H. Hendricks. M.

a Barnett, vV m. F. Chamberlain. Jas. J.

Barry. C. IL Beggs and Auguet A. Blumenthal. six oftthe juror wbo tried MaxwelL He also referred to the letters received at tbe Executive Office bear-, ing upon the matter, aud read tbe names oi the writers.

He said that over live hundred of tbe most respertable citizens of the Ststs were found in the list asking for the commutation. whQe those against numbered only thirty-five. He next read the petition ask. in for commutation signed by nearly 1.501 business mcn'of St. Louis.

Then followed pirrrnox Arrcn PETrrioit From all sections of the State. Mr. Martin reading tbe name and occupation of each signer to a petition. After this almoet interminable task took ud the huge bunch of letters lying oa the desk before him and began to read. Th letters are from all parts of the and from men in every station in life.

There ar many from leading lawyers of St. Louii Kansas City and other cities in the Staio, Tbey discuss the trial of the case ana invariably touch upon the Dingfeldei evidence, and the unanimity of the con. dem nation expressed upon tnis point is remarkable. To conclude to-day the task undertaken by Mr. Martin was herculean, but he never faltered, and from half past nine until after twelve o'clock the only round that disturbed the stillness in th Executive Office was his resonant voice.

After a recess of two hours the BEAPIXO Or THS LETTERS Was resumed and continued uninterrupted until after six o'clock, when further bearing of the case was postponed until nine clock to-morrow. During the day Mr. Faontlaror sat by the side of tha table upon which was heaped tbe petitions, letters and records. When all the papers are laid before the Governor he will make an argument whien, will taks up three hours' time, There-seems to be but little interest in the case here, as at no time during the day were there over fifteen persons in the room, and those not compelled to remain wonld soon retire, for the sameness which characterises the letters was wearisome. The attorneys both agree to-night that they will get through by noon tomorrow.

Mrs. Brooks snd daughter spent two boars this afternoon driving about the city, bat sought tbe seclusion of their room immediately after returning to the hotel. There Is much speculation as to what action the Governor will take, bat no one can say what it will be. MAXWBIX'S APPEAL, Maxwell's petition to tbe Governor, writ-tea by bimw-if. ia as follows: To His Excellijict A.

A. Mooexhotsb. Governor of Missouri: Your petitioner, Hugh Maltram Brooks. respectfully represents states that oa the 14th day of July. lMs, ia the 8t Louis Criminal Court he was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced ta the gallows for having caused the death of one Charles Arthur Preller.

and your petitioner now represents and states, as he always heretofore represented and stated, that the death of the said Preller was entirely accidental and unintentional on the part of your petitioner, and tbe fact and circumstances relating thereto were fully and truly stated by your petitioner on the witness, stand upon his trial, which testimony is fully preserved and set out in the record of said case. petitioner represents and states tnat wliatever degree of blame may properly bo imputed to him by reason of the death of said'Preller. certainly he is innocent of the crime of murder, of which he stands convicted. And while thus solemnly protesting, as he has always done, his iuuoceuce of the crime of murder, your petitioner recognizer the fact that the only legal test of guilt is fair aud impartial trial before a fair and impartial jury. But your petitioner is advised and charges the fact to be that by reason of the great popular clamor and prejudice engendered and aroused against him by.the public press, and by reason of the unjust and unfair advantage taken of him by those conducting and concerned in his proe-ecution, he has been denied a fair and impartial trial before a fair and impartial lury.

The instances and particulars in which your petitioner was denied this right to a fair and impartial trial are fully set out in the record of the case, and many of them are discussed and demonstrated by Justice Sherwood ia his dissenting opinion. And these Instances and particulars have tx-ea partially specified sad discussed in aa appeal published by my father. Samuel K. Brooks, on the 8th day of ApriL liSS. and they will be more fully laid before Your Excellency by my attorneys.

Martin and Fauntleroy. And your petitioner represents and states that it appears, not only from the able and elaborate dissenting Opinion of Justice Sherwood in the case, that the rigats of your petitioner to a fair and impartial trial were more frequently and more flagrantly violated by the trial Court than in any ease heretofore brought to the Supreme Coart: but it appears from the majority pinion of the Supreme Court itself that in many instances yonr petitioner was denied upon his trial most important essential constitutional and statutory rights and safeguards which tbe law in its wisdom has thrown around the lives- and liberties of those charged with CTAnd yonr petitioner further represents aud state that the methods snd mean resorted to by those, repreeeutingth fctate upon his trial in order to secure his. con vio- tioo were such as ns only ta depnue youf petitioner of a fair and impartial mal ud tcflirt great injustice and hardship upon him. but such as will briag deep and lasting digrsce and shame upon the State of Missouri and cast au ineliacatie stain and re-proach upon the admxaistrauon of her laws in her Courts. And.

therefore, your petitioner most respectfully and earnrstly represents ami claims that not only right sndiuauce tobira. but the interest arid welfare of the rtt. demand that at least uis life be not taken by snctt methods. Wherefore your petitioner most repect'ully and earnestly pray that our Excellency wiiU in the exercise of the poner conferred upod yoa by the oonsutotioa. commute his senteuce to impriocoeni in toe HtKn M.
