My Jnn Littlb Pier Mamijs and Wins: -This is what I have always called you, and 1 mean just what I say. Oh Mamie! I never had anything to hurt me so bud as I was hurt the morning that my wife ami you met, that was Tuesday morning. Mamie, pet one, the reason I saitl what I did, was because my wife told me hat she hud me in tlie power of the officers, and she would send me to jail if 1 tl id not say that she was right.

Mlie had me in her power, and 1 had to do just as Mho wanted me tt) do, but you know that I told her that I loved yon, and that 1 thought that you was a parted' lady and a good girl, but I could not say anything to you, for I wanted to get out uf the hands of the office ra. The baggage-master anil reorge. Mpurlock told her you and were running away, and that the only thing that she could do was to lftive me arrested, ami she aelit a telegram to the marshal to arrest me and hold me till she camy; that was the reason I did not get to go to Cameron on Monday night. John Dougherty told her Unit, hi; saw you and I get on the train, and leave ton on Monday night, and then she said aim They Mean Good, But ARE BLIND, WE DO NOT CARE TO FIGHT THEV. Our Entire Stock now ouhnd will lie closed out until not a scrap or vestige irfeft, tuJ until cur shelves and tables are as bare of goods as a Maine ccrn-licld is of corn, or a fanatical commotion is of good cold as a monopolists heart or This is a selfish world, and while we are in sympathy with cool-headed temperance movements and do not denounce the agitators who are unwittingly their nasal appendages in order to spite the balance of their physiognomy, we must candidly own tjiat wo aro human, and that our heart is in our business and that wo deprecate any movement which would have a tendency to hurt Atchison commercially.

Until we know the result, we shall leave no stone unturned in our efforts to convert the entire stock into money The prices on every article in the house will be cut down one-half, and in many instances a deeper cut will bo mado.

with no light, separated from all bodily comforts and friends, with no opportunity given him to couiinunicato with any person in his wteiest. While in the mad house he was eonnwdied to associate with ordinary poor house patients, and those who were real insane, to listen to obicene lau gunge, to endure the privation of all de cent sanitary arrangements, ana lo eat poor-house fare, such as wretched butler, "ggy potatoes and Long Island enllee, under threats of resort to the mouth screw And stomach tubein rase of revolt at Biieh unaccustomed and disgusting fond, while the plaiutilf'H chronic internal ailment called for specific articles of food, which were refused to him, He was compelled to make his own bed, sweep his mom and the hall, and go out with a squad oT patients daily to hoe garden vegetables and manure iu Ihe barnyard, where sixty cows were fed, and was forced to go into the public streets of lltica, under guard, and sweep the sidewalks, pull weeds out cf the street, gutters and roadway, and hoe the gutters out. lie was forced to take from three to five dozen drugs daily, under threats of punishment, and to perform servile and menial duties in cold and windy weather, lie charges that a letter which he wrote intimate fiiem'a, oontaiuing information con eruing important papers, was sent by the nsylum ollieials to Crosby, and the papers mentioned were taken from the safe iu his ollireand used iu the effort to prevent Inn release, after being altered fur this purpose.

TWO MI5N IIUNO. Mount Vkiixon, Tnd January 2" Anderson and Mnyder, the doomed men, retired at teu clock last night, ami slept soundly until both were called nt 5 o'clock, ami then ato heartily. The Catholic priest, who has been with them, was denied admission, hs they had asked for Methodist ministers, d. V. Asburb and H.

Kvvilson, the gen tlemen sent for, promptly arrived and conducted the appropriate exercise. At the death warraut was read and listened to without any emotion. At 10 o'clock AndeiHoii and Mynder left the prison singing, which was led by Mnyder, who also delivered prayer asking divine mercy, and expressing confidence that his sins were forgiven. During thf scene the prisoner was very composed. Mnyder was nervous and excited, ami talked freely of the crime, and frequenl Iv cried.

Anderson was much all'eeted, but retained great self-control. He freely conversed with the visitors, and occasionally smiled. This concluded, they returned to their cells, where they were attended by the ministers, and the preparation made. At they were conveyed to the enclosure near the jail, attended by lie v. Ashburg and Wilson.

Anderson was very compost whilt-Mnyder was emotional and prayed aloud constant iy. Anderson made a brief prayer, and the trap sprung at 1 1 Murder's feck was broken Anderson struggled and twitche.il a moment; life wms extinct in Mnyder in seven minutes.

The latter hud eighteen dollars on his person when enticed to the spot selected Tor the crime, on the river bank, nine mi his east of Ml. Vernon. While his attention was diverted, Mnyder struck him on the head with a club, and felled him to the ground; then he held his )u-ad while Anderson sitting astride the body, cut his throat from ear to i-ar with a pocket knife. At the iirst plunge of the blade the victim revived and his teni-ble posit ion, begging for mercy ami st rugoling ties pet ah ly. Ho was over matched, however, ami on overcome by loss of blood.

After rilling the pock- ts, and before life was extinct, the bodv was thrown into the river and taken some distance out into the st ream. The I blood-stains and the disturbed con- dit ion of the ground were discovered next day, and the body, after a search, was recovered on Sunday afternoon. Suspicion was at once directed to Ander son and Mnyder, who were arrested before a hneof dental could be agreed upon between them, and, by skillful manipulation bv the oflieers, a confession was made by each of them, charging the worn mis sion of the crime upon the other. The trial was brief and conviction prompt. Kxeeutive clemency was invoked, but in vain.

Van Weyer was a native of Kentucky, and had resided in Mt. Vernon only a few months, doing odd jobs. He was an in dust rioiis, well-behaved boy. Mnyder and Andenon were both from Mount Vernon. The former was twenty, one years of age, and a shiftless, idle fellow, but previous to the murder he was never considered vicious, Anderson was seventeen years old, a bootblack, ami inclined to be industrious, but his associates were bad.

The following is Plumb's Iirst letter, sent to Dr. Meip in Dakota; Atchison, Oct.

Mt. J. It. K. IT IS SAID Plumb is forty dive years old, and his whiskers are dyed.

OTUP.lt pahtikh. It is said also that other parties are implicated iu the matter. Mrs. Thoimu (ionium is a sister of Plumb's, and was formerly known asKdith O'Uormau, who lectured as the "escaped nun," and resides at Hannibal, Mo. In November last she came to Atchison, at the requestor Plumb, went to Mrs.

Meip, vouched for Plumb's antecedents and good standing, and told the following story: lhattive years be fort) J'lninb'ri wife ran away from him with another raihoml man, taking his iiatiy boy with her; that he had applied for and obtained a divorce from her; and told Meip what a kind, good husband ne would be for tier daughter. Kepoit nao that u-jrman as credited with being accessory to the death of her former husband, of which Plumb had some knowledge, and this hold he had on her induced the woman to give this false tes timony. When the true inwardness of this affair comes to light a strange conspiracy will be developed that will astonish every one. Mrs. Gorman was at Mpringlield, Illinois, last evening.

Her first husband was an engineer on the Hannibal X- Mt. railroad, ami her present husband was master mechanic of the same road, and it is said the latter sent the former outou a defective engine, which blew up. This is the information Dr. Meip has been able to obtain so far, and we give it as it was given us. aiih i ioaTTti a i ii.

A lltit'TATi ATTACK. January 25 About half past six this morning Melon Mprague, a well-to-do farmer of Kast Meadow, went, as usual to the barn to milk the cows and feed the horses.

Here hesaw Mrs. Mprague in the kitchen, struck her one blow ami demanded money.

Mie told him to gat it out of a drawer and then ran screaming from the house, liefore she had gone very far the man overtook and passed her, soon getting out of sight. Hundreds of neighbors are in pursuit of the man. Later reports say the man has been captured, identified nijtl lodged in jail. IMPORTANT DECISION. CurcAoo, January -The supreme court of Illinois, in a test case before it, decides that the city of Chicago is authorized to tax occupations, the only restriction being that the tax must fall alike on the same class.

The decision is one of great importance to this city, as tlio limitation of the tan on real property has caused the authorities to seek other sources or revenue. lie test case was made in a suit commenced by the livery stable keepers to prevent the imposition of an annual tax upon their business.

"Escaped Perhaps no cast; that has occurred in Atchison ever aroused greateu indignation than that of Wm.

J. Plumb, the Hannibal it Mt. Joseph engineer. The bold attempt of a married man, with a family of children dependent, on him, abduct from the home of her parents a girl but sixb-en years old, whose mind had scarcely yet been formed, and who was utterly unused to the ways of the world, forcing her over the Missouri riv er on the tec on a bitter winter night, ex hibited a depravity, a brutality, human nature could hardly be thought capable of. Plumb is a man apparently about thirty -five years old medium height tiim nu'de; rather a brunette in complexion, and with a face exhibiting more han an ordinary degree of intelligence.

That he is nearly uneducated his note to his intended victim shows; h-it then he is a man who has net mueh of the wor'd, and ha: cducati ing re nance, what might in ds v. dlv seiii-u; and lu.i ileda Thoio i i his i act leal mnte- i ess rat h-tiicrwise.

It ih, too, one that yields a a coiidoi table income, lie has held the (loaitiou of locomotive engineer for main vcii'N, and had sceumiilaled a home in the town of Cameron. lie had married a respectable woman in (hat vicinity, and had a family of eliildien growing, ai on nd hi m.

And el, surrounded by all thes" incentives to keep a man in the right path, he suilcred the brutal instincts of his nature to so completely overcome him as to make a dastardly attempt to blight a young life, blast the happiness of one household, bring desolation and ruin upon his own household, and pave his own way to eternal shame and disgrace. The man who could do all this must be brute bv natu re or a madman. Vet Plumb lon't look like a biiile, and hp exhibit no evidences of insanity. Yesterday he desiied to "tipruee up" to meet his wife; iii-eourt hi morning he appeared coo and collected, and gave all necessary directions to his counsel, Yesterday Plumb complained the sherilHhat he did not get enough to eat. It is the lind complaint of the kind that has been made at tin jail for years.

Mrs. Blair has superintended the preparation of the prisoners fooo, and every one wdio has been confined' there attests tin1 fact that she would rot see even a dog go hungry. Plumb might wed! be glad that he is the land of the liing to-day, ami feel happy to expiate his offense by living on bread ai water for a lifetime. The man has indulged in the hope that his wife would mortgage her homestead to procure his release in her ise; but that hope is delusive, for two asons. It is said that before the trans fer to Mrs.

Plumb was made he was largely indebted at Cameron, and that the creditors are inclined to insist that a voluntary transfer of this kind is fraudulent ami void. And, even did he give bail in this case, another vcrv serious charge would be preferred against him. Till! EXAMINATION. This morning Judge Mne( le's court was crowded to oversowing. A large number were there! from idle curiosity a goodly number to express their svm-pathv with the family that had been outraged.

After the disposition of the usual police business and one or two minor matters, the case of The State vs. Wm. J. was called. THE INFORMATION was tiled under Ihe following statute: "Every person who shall take away any female under the age of eighteen years room her father, mother, guardian or other persou having legal charge of her person, either for the purpose of prosti-tut ion or concubinage, shall, upon con vie-turn thereof, bo punished by confinement and hard labor for a term not exceeding five years." It charges that William J.

Plumb, on the 2'2d day of January, bSol, did unlawfully and feloniously take away a femalo under eighteen years, to-wit, one Mary (I. Meip, from William H. Meip and O. Meip, her (said Mary U. Meip's) father and mother, who had the legal charge of the person of said Mary (i.

Mr. Cochran objected. H.t thought the state of Kaunas was a bigger man than Mr. Jlarwood. The court remarked that a con tin nan cr could only be granted on the proper application.

Mr. Cochran tlnally consented to a continuance of thw i xamiuation until Monday, January iiSth, the examination to take place in the district court room. Mr. Cochran aaked that the bail should be raised The court, remarking that application having hfieu made a second time by defendant for a continuance, the bail would be fixed at $2,1 IU0.
