London, April 7.—At a meeting of the members of parliament and other promi nent persons last night, in connection with the vigilance society for the defense of persona] rights, the principal topic of discussion was the ieported intention of the authorities to form a branch of the detective force, whose duties will arise from political disaffection.

THE FAILURE OF WIXJ)Q3X'S STOCK BXCBAMOB SCHEME. i He Now Devoting His Knersjles to His New Railroad in Mexico—The Modest Demand of Sergeant Mason's Attorney— v General Capital Notes. [Special Telegram to the Globe. J Washington, April 7.—Windom does not appear to be very much discouraged over the failure of his New York stock exchange project. Within the last week the ex change has collapsed and there is nothing left to represent it, but a lot of beautiful circulars. Windom's present scheme is the development of the Tapalabampo rail way. The charter of the company gives a monopoly to the line between Mazatlan line and Alliance, the southwestern termi- nus of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. This ambitious enterprise -is still on paper. The object of the road is to develop the mineral resources and rich agricultural regions of Western Mexico. There are a .number of public men inter ested in this scheme. Boston and New York capitalists have signified their wil lingness to take a large amount of the stock, trusting to opportunities and fine ad vertisements to put it oS on the public at a sharp advance. Gen. J. B. Gordon is one of the principals engaged in actively work ing up the market. HHTII AND THE EAEY. It is quite certain that Betty Mason, the wife of Sergeant Mason, has not been act ive in the efforts to secure kis release, and it is quite certain that the war department authorities do not.approve of his release. The following letter from the counsel of the lawyer of Mason, explains the latest phase of the case: Washington, D. C, April s.—Mrs. Betty Mason, Locust Grove, Orange county, Va. —Dear Madame: Your note was received this morning. In the light of the f ac^s which Mr. Bigelow assures me he can es- ' tablish by positive and abundant proof as to the services rendered, as to the money | raised in your hands, and the object for which it was contributed, I feel confident that I can succeed in maintaining the case I presented in his behalf. However, I do not say this to affect your action in any sense, as your counsel will advise you in your interest and with a de sire to avoid any unnecessary notoriety that the case would bring with it, I will be glad to confer with any respectable at torney you may retain. I have conferred with my client as to what you wrote me, and he authorizes me to make the follow ing offer to you, the generosity of which you will perceive at once as none but an honorable man would make it. It is that, since he has expended of his own money in your husband's behalf in traveling ex penses, printing, etc., the sum of $500 and is still in debt to the printers for the last petition which your husband has signed, to be presented to the supreme court of tho United States, with a view to bis re lease, Mr. Bigelow, feeling so confident of securing your husband's release on said petition, and being unable now to ge on with his case for want of money to pay the printer in whose hands the petition is, says that if you will now pay to him simply the money he has paid out, that is the £">OO, he will direct me to dismiss the salt and will trust for his fee bill to nek arrangements r.s he may be able to make with your husband upou his release. Ida not counsel him to this course by any means, but his own* gen erosity prompts it, backed by his pro fessional pride, vrhich makes him cling to the cause of his client, your husband. I only act by his instructions, so that, if this offer is accepted by yon in the desire of securing your husband's release, of which Mr. Bigelow is confident on this petition to the supremo court, you can send me a check for that sum, payable to my order, and I will at once dismiss his suit. Above all, act as your judgment prompts yon in your husband's behalf. [ Signed 1 F. P. B.

THE ABBESTED AMEBICANB AT PANAMA. Upon the arrest of seven Americans at Pauania, on suspicion of having been en gaged in the robbery from the Panama railroad of $50,000 sent to pay theollicers :md men of the United States steamship Lackawanna, the United States vici?consul, It. W. Turpin, at once applied to (he Col umbian authorities demanding a hearing for the accused. This action he reported to the state department, and his course was approved and instructions were given him to use every effort to secure for the imprisoned Americans a speedy hearing. Meanwhile the Panama railroad officials, who had employed American detectives, were enabled .to put obstacles in the way, upon the plea that the enJs of justice would bo thwarted if time wers not given to obtain evidence, and representa tions were made to the state department that the men were undoubtedly guilty. The department, however, in the corre spondence which ensued with our consul, instructed him to exhaust every means to obtain for the men a speedy hearing and an impartial trial. On the 2oth ultimo Turpin informed the department that he had employed legal assistance, and hoped to soon overcome delays which appeared to be incident to criminal practice in that country. Secretary Frelinghuyeen stated to-day that the matter had been vigorous ly pushed and is now receiving close at tention of the department, in that the consul's employment of legal assistance had been approved, and instructions to that e3ect had been sent him.

I have never employed Bigelow to attend to any business for me, and he has never rendered mo any service either, and I want the public to know this. He pretends to have done so much for me and my husband, but I never employed him, and I have no money for Bigelow, and I hope the court will throw aside his unjust claim. My poor husband is still in prison, and Bigelow should be ashamed to try to take from me the money given to me and my child for our support. Bigelow has never done any good for my husband, and he dannot have any of the money with my consent. Respectfully, Bettie E. Mason. AFTER THE BATTLE. The Prizes Awarded— Claims an Attempt to Organize an American Vic tory— Chicago Applause Too Much for Hi* Nerves— SchaeflVr Hugging His Trophy. Chicago, April 7.—The prizes offered to the men in the billiard tournament wore irded this evening. The purse of §1,200 and a gold minature billiard table, emblematic of the world's championship, j was given to Jacob Schaeffer: the second prize of §800 to Maurice Vignaux, of France; the third prize of $500 to Morris Daly; the fourth prize of £300 to William Sexton, and the fifth prize of $200 to Alon zo Morris. The great French player takes the defeat much to heart, and to an Associ ated Press representative, declared the honors were not fairly bestowed. He asserted that Schacffor was allowed to make that push shot along the rail repeatedly, but he was particularly angry at referees in allowing Schaeeffr, during the tig run, to play hen the balls were frozen, the same as though thero was no contact. Vignanx also protests that he .i?ked for a new set of balls in tho contest with Scaaeffer, but was overruled by the sriends of tho latter, and' this against pre cedent; and that throughout the struggle there seemed to be an endeavor to organ ize a victory for the American player. He has also a poor opinion of the plau dits of an American audience. In uproar, he declares, it exceeded the tumult at a Spanish bull fight, and though it might not affect the nerves of an American, particu larly if all wero showered upon him, it is liable to disconcert a foreign antagonist, as it did him. Vignaux illustrated how cer tain excited individuals picked up lira and pounded the floor with them to in crease the uproar indulged in when Schaeffer started out on a run. (The features of the contest caused cer tain newspapers hero to quote the opinion of certain sporting authorities in outliv ing a belief that the last game was not squarely contested, and intimating that Vignaux could easily have defeated his antagonist at two or three points in the game had he desired. Vignaux in the interview stoutly denied this, and declared that he gave his best possible exhibition under all the circum stances, and if any chicancery was em ployed it was without his knowledge and was in the nature of attempting to or ganize a victory for Schaefer before the game opened. The movements of the players are un certain, pending the tournament in New York in May. It is declared that Schaeffer will not place his trophy in immediate jeopardy and that he will not consent to meet Vignaux even though the latter should elect before tho expiration of the sixty days time allotted to him. Vignaux states he will certainly enter the contest at the New York tournament. The championship emblem won by Mr. Schaffer, and which is to be contested for in future games, is something so beauti ful, costly and entirely unique that it will merit a description. It consists of a min iature billiard table wrought of solid gold bullion, its size being one and a half by three inches. Resting crosswise on the cushion rails are two cues, of solid gold; on the bed of the table are three balls, two of silver and one of gold." The table rests on a bar of solid silver, beneath which is a foundation of polished ebony. Above the table is a caropy of arbor design, the front work of which is gold, interspersed by a filigree of silver, representing vines. The whole is surmounted by a silver eagle. Depending from the apex of the pavilion, or canopy, on the inside is a gold medal lion bearing the inscription "World's balk line championship." The table is accom panied by a rack filled with miniature gold cues. On the bed of the table is a silver plate, whereon is inscribed the name rof Jacob Schaef er, while room is left for the name of the futute fortunate possessor of the bauble. The Amalgamated Union.

Wheat ami Corn Botli TuutMo from 1-2 to :l Cents a Bushel—Flour Inactive and Pull—Provisions Share iv tha General l>epresr,ion—The Xew York Stock Market Without Notable Feature, CHICAGO. [Special Telegram to tlio Globe.] Chicago, April 7.—The grain markets were weak and lower to-day, and the fine growing weather in connection with lower prices in the East and Europe, induced a strong bear movement and consequent de cline. Wheat wa3 rather active, and prices somewhat irregular, but the general ten dency was downward, and at the close May was 2c lower than it closed at 1 o'clock yesterday, June 2c lower and July 1% 0 lower. There was some weakness yester day afternoon, and the market opened to day about %a lower than at 1 o'clock yes terday, fell off some, then improved then dropped %o rallied %t then irregu larly lsj,c from the highest point, changed slightly, and closed weak. The English markts were reported lower with the weather there brilliant and quite favorable here, and there was a general depression to sell. The steady decline for the past week has exhaustad a great many margins and the property is being closed out, thereby aiding the general depression. Spring wheat was quiet and easy. There wa3 some inquiry for winter, but very lit tle offered. Flour was neglected, and it was next to impossible to make a sale. A dull, weak feeling prevailed. Receipts are not large, but owing to the declining tendency of wheat holders were anxious to realize. An occasional lot was taken for export, but local jobbers were doing almost nothing, holding off for develoments. Rye and buckwheat were dull and all millstuffs were going out less freely and at lower prices. In corn, a large speculative business was transacted, and a fair movement reported on shipping account. The feeling devel oped was weaker and prices again ruled lower, influenced by contined free arrivals, better weather and a strong pressure to sell. The speculative offerings were liber al and the pressure to sell caused a marked decline in prices, which was more perceptible on the deferred futures,as May was sustained somewhat by an urgent demand by the short interest, while June and July were comparatively in less demand. The market opened from %&?ic lower, and declined to a point l*£c lower for May, 2c lower for June and 2} £o lower for July than the closing figures on 'change yesterday, and finally closed with n about %a of the inside prices reached. No. 2 was in fair demand, and closed about 51c. Round lots of regular receipts quota bly about the same as April. The July premium is falling off some what, showing some loss of confidence in futures. Oats were demoralized. There was a break in prices. More or less anxiety on the part of longs to sell was manifested. The offerings for May delivery especially were heavy, and June and July tjlso were offered freely. A weak tone in all the mar ! kets checked speculative buying, and cash ! buyers also, in view of tho situation, held I back. A few cars of gilt edge sold early lat 42}<c, but later 41c was the best bid. j Sample lots were lower, and, at the same \ time, the supply was only about fair. Ryo was very easy and nominally the same for cash, although futures were quoted a triiio easier. Barley was dull and weaker, o?;ing to the absenoe of any demand, for the offerings were only moderate. The only inquiry was for a few .-ample lots, which were taken to fill special wants. The sales were at shaded prices. An unsettled r.nd weak feeling pre yailed in the market for hog products during the greater portion of tho session on 'change, and a material reduction in price vas submitted to on all the leading article;-. The offerings were free on speculative ac count, while the demand was not particu larly urgent, except at reduced prices. The demani for mess pork was moderately active nnd tho offerings were quite free. Prices ruled weak and declined s@loe and closed tame. Cash rather qniat. The offerings of lard were free, and the demand moderately active. Prices ruled easy and inclined in favor of buyers, with cash in good request in a quiet way. Only 3,500 hogs were received to-day. The demand was active to the extent of the supply, and sales were generally at s{| 10c better figures than yesterday. The range wr.s between £7.15 and $8. SEW YORK. [Special Telegram to tha Globe] New Yoek, A.pril 7.—The market opened this morning w?th trifling changes in most instances, and some properties fractionally lower. Denver sold at 49 but soon rallied to SO, Union Pacific advanced above 9S, and was very firm, tho whole list seemed inclined to do better and there was a fair demand for all the leading stocks. The bank statement showed a smaller gain in the reserve than wa3 gen erally expected—§3oG,4so—about §1,000, --000 lees than last week. It seemed, how ever, to have bnt little effect upon prices. St. Paul and Missouri Pacific was, if any thing, stronger, and Wabash preferred, later in the lay, sold at 53. Atchison was qnoted at 94. It is reported that when Jersey Central is leased and controlled by the Beading, the latter will guarantee a 4 per cent, dividend the first year, 5 per cent, the second and 6 for the third year, on the former. Our exports of merchandise since Jan uary 1 increased about $26,000,000, which is a very gratifying showing. Prices con tinue strong to the last, with Union Pa cific leading in activitly. Pacific Mail touched 44. Money remained easy. An Ad. for Barnnm. New Yobk, April 7.—Henry Bergh, the defender of all animals, has written a let ter to Barnum, the circus man, condemn ing 'the killing of the elephant Pilot. His argument is that kindness instead of cruel ty, would have subdued the animal. Barn urn's reason for killing Pilot was that he considered it safer than to subject his patrons to danger. The Bricklayers' Strike. Chicago, April 7.—lt was feared the present strike would interfere with the con struction of the new board of trade and other public structures, but the contractors assert it will not. The building committee of the board of trade assert they will make concessions to counteract the present' emergency. A meeting of bricklayers last night decided to continue the strike, and declared that the contractors' effort to import workmen would not succeed. A HOTEL HOEEOE. Ende Hotel in Greenville.

About forty guests and attendants were in the house at the time, and some who had not retired got out with difficulty. Others, aroused, from sleep by the fall, saw a death by fire awaiting them. The cries of the impris oned for help were heart-rending in the extreme. Some escaped and others per ished. The hotel, with four or five business houses in its rear, occupied principally by Lowenstein & Geash, were destroyed. A steamer was telegraphed from Sherman by our mayor, and three hours later was on the ground. The charred remains of the unfortunates are being taken out at this writing, but it is impossible to give the names of the lost. The hotel, which was kept by N. E. Pruit, formerly of Jefferson, had about thirty persons in it at the time. Mr. Jeff Mason, the city marshal, was the first on, the ground, and gave the alarm by firing his pistol. Persons rushing to rescue, met some of the unfor tunates escap ing from the debris in their night clothes. Those who escaped did so with difficulty, and some received serious injuries. Those rescued were: Fred Ende, owner of the hotel, wife and two daughters; W. G. Pruit; Harry Miller; Charles Brown, formerly conductor of the East Line rail road; Dr. L. R. Twina, who escaped with serious injuries; Lewis Morris; P. C. Cox, of Honey Grove; W. F.McClure, of Nash ville, Term.; D. G. Bell, conductor of the Narrow Gauge: Mr. Mears, of Dangerfield; Mr. Victors and several servants. The following perished: Mrs. N. E. Pruit, Geo. Proit, Miss Lou Davis, Frank West, freight clerk at the Missouri Pacific depot; Capt. F. D. N. Riley, coatractor and builder; Mr. Dentou, R. R. Neal, cotton buyer, of Pulaßki, Tenn.;L. Albert, jeweler; Mr. Hill, John Ford, telegraph line re pairer of the Western Union Telegraph company, and four colored boys. The fragments of five bodies have been recovered, among them Mrs. Pruit and Miss Davis. The others were so charred as not to be identified. The search for the other bodies is still going on. The shrieks for help of those impris oned beneath the ruins caused the blood of hearers to run cold. Tho sad event has cast a gloom over the whole town. Busi ness is suspended and houses are closed to-day. A memorial service will be held in the Methodist church to-morrow.

Lexington, Ky., April —A press re porter received an intimation last night that Ellis Craft had received a letter in yesterday's mail from his brother in Ash land, stating that a negro in jail at Charleston had confessed that he and an other negro had murdered Emma Thomas and the Gibbons children. Thinking this was perhaps a mistake, the reporter went to the jail to investigate and was given the original letter to Crafts, which he now has in his possession and from which he made the following startling extract, after taking the liberty of correcting Mrs. Craft's orthography and English: "Ellis, what I am going to say is, the fact that they have got a negro in jail at Charleston, Va., who has told enough to clear you and Neal, and as soon as they get the other one it will bo published all over the world. Brother Gil man and Mr. Burns went and saw the ne gro in jail themselves, and the governor of Virginia made a big speech in your favor. I will get the speech and send it to you in my next letter. Keep in good heart. I think you and Neal will be free again." Wo give this for what it is worth. Craft's brother really wrote and it does not seem reasonable that he would have made up the story, as the facts could so easily be found out and could not operate in Craft's favor at all, if false.
