New York, Dec. 14. President Win.
;C. Greene, of tho Greeno Consolidated
Copper Company, of Boston, published
lere a half-pago of bitter denunciation
of Thomas W. Lawson, for tho letter's
methods of advertising and raiding of
Amalgamated and other copper tocka.
it Colonel Grceno calls Lawson a
jiaktr, charltan, liar and robber of tho
poor widows and orphans. He nrt-
nounces that ho is coming to Boston to
tell Lawson to his face, in Lawson 's of-
fiee, the very samo thing.
Lawson has replied to this attack,
and says ho will continue in his course,
despite Green, Standard Oil, "tho sys
tem" or any living being. Ho declares
ho is not responsible for the losses of
son than the latter docs with the Arizo
na Copper King.
Tho reply to tho message from Col.
Grceno to Lawson states that Greene
will bo at Lawson 's ofilec, at Boston,

PEABODY MAY BE SEATED
GOVERNOR OF COLORADO
Denver, Dec. 14. Leonard Rogers,
tho well-known Democratic leader, Po
llco Captain Lee, and four other Dem
ocratic election officers in precinct No
2, ward No. 7, were placed on trial in
tho supremo court today, charged with
fraud in tho rccont election. Thcro is
n growing belief tlmt tho court will
throw out enough wards in Denver to
wlpo out tho Adams plurality of 6000,
and seat Governor Pcabody.
New York, Dec. 14. Tho Lawson ad
vertisement appeared in tho London
papers this morning, and created con
siderable furor. The market fell from
one-half to one per cent. London slocks
sold hero on a fairly heavy scale.
Colonel Greene, amounting to $5,000,
000, it is said, in Grceno Consolidated,
or for tho drop in that stock this week.
Lawson says that Greeno Consolidated nn(j jj0
was ono 01 mo Eiocus no exempted irom :
attack in his recent drives at tho mar-
ket.
Everything is tenso excitement, and
it is believed that Greeno will mako
good his threats. Lawson 's rooms aro
eloscly guarded by detectives, and Law
son sat at his desk with a six-shooter
in nn open drawer at his elbow.
While Lawson 's roply is most pacific
and speaks of Colonel Greeno in tho
highest terms of praiso and apprecia
tion, it also breathes defiance.
Charles W. Barron, publisher of tho
Boston Xows Bureau, has taken a hand
gain and deals less gently with Law-
Tramps Aro Plentiful.
There arc said to bo more tramps in
tho Willamette valley now than ever
before at this season of tho year. Port
land is said to bo literally overrun with
theso, people, and tho strange part of
it is that t,loy do not seem to bo in
clined to work, and that a man can go
into tho city nt nny time, who is really
in search of work, and procure a posi
tion. Salem has been having her sharo
of theso hobos, and Officers Lewis and
Murphy havo 103 arrests in tho lost 12
days, and all but 13 of whom wcro
merely hobos, who wero suspicious char
acters and had to bo locked up over
night for tho safety of tho community.
It is impossiblo for tho two officers to
keep thoir eyes on 24 hobos in this
1 city at night, unless they nro under
Donver, Dec. 14. At noon tho court
decided to throw out nil ,tho votos in
precinct No. 8, Ward No. 7, thus estab
lishing a precendent which will prob
ably mean tho seating of Governor
Pcabody. This is ono of tho precincts
in which fraud was proven, and many
others will bo carefully scrutinized.
Pueblo, Colo., Dec. 14. A special
from Grand Junction says that 25 in
dictments were mndo today for election
frauds.
