" - ■ : m* BINDING: TWIXE TAX. Congressman Harmk!:. of Pennsvl fania, who has been the leading .cham pion of the binding twine tax, says it would have been the grossest Repub lican inconsistency to have put binding twine on the free list. He furthermore says that the Western congressmen who were making such a howl about free -binding twine were only indulging in a little game of bluff and never had any intention of opposing . the McKixi-ey bill. Mr. Hai:mkk says: '"It would be inconsistent and unfair in any class of legislators professing to be protection ists or Republicans to fa\ that, binding twine should be admitted to these United States free of duly." Congressman Hakmek hit the nail on the head. The Minnesota congressmen looked at it the same way he does: They regarded it a Republican incon sistency to take the tax off binding twine. The trusts must be protected at all hazards, in their opinion. So that while they made a bluff at free binding twine, they, never had any seri . ous notion that it would prevail. They voted for the McKixi.ey bill with the binding twine tax clause in it, and they . are happy over the result. . The farmers of this state should lay it up in remembrance against those five Minnesota congressmen who sold them selves to the trusts. When the polls are opened in November the. farmers will have a chance to speak their sentiments on the binding twine tax. If they don't like the tax. they will vote against the five congressmen who voted for the tax. — — —^ CONGRESS ADJOURNS. It would have been" a happy fore thought if j the president had fixed Thanksgiving on the day congress ad journed. The people would have had so much to be grateful for. . Since the days of the Rump parlia ment there has never been a legis lative asst- mbly which merited popular contempt so much as the first session of the * ifty-nrst congress. It gave the first introduction of Caesarism into our legislative history. Jt was the first con gress that dared to assert the unconsti tutional power of establishing a com -. mercial embargo in time of. peace . airainst the products of the civilized : world. It was the first congress to deny to its members, the right of free speech. It was the first congress to have its pro ceedings disgraced by language too in decent to print. And if all the inno vations introduced by this congress are to remain as permanent features of our = national ' legislation, then farewell, and a long farewell, to all our boasted forms of freedom. ,: : . In view of what it has done and what it has failed to do, of all its sins of omis • sion and commission, the adjournment of the first session of the Fifty-first con : gress :is a proper signal for the whole ; people of the United States to join in singing the good : old camp meeting - hymn, commencing .' -' : : "Believing, we rejoice to see . The wicked cuss removed.'?; ■ ' AFFECTS PRICES. None have risen to dispute the alle gation -of Mr. Blaise . that the tariff measure now finally enacted will not open : tip a new. market for a- dol lar's worth of , r farm produce. U"tiiio.aj' be conceded that it will give unwonted activity for a time to various branches of traffic. That is, the dealers in men's clothing, women's dresses, carpets, table cutlery, household linen and queensware will be required to go over their stocks and mark up their goods in order to keep up with the rising tide. The cost of about everything useil by the farmer and workintnnan will ad vance iir price, but the one wiil have no new buyers and the, other will have no advance iv wages. It is doubtful even if in sugar any considerable advantage will come to the consumer. The trust will be the chief beneficiary. WHY THEY BOLTED. Three --Republican votes in each liaise were cast against the tariff bill on its final passage, all of the three in the senate from the West, 'and one in the house. The other two were from the South. The latter wore controlled by local interests in regard to some spe cific article. Senator Pettigkew, of South Dakota, gave as the explanation of his adverse vote that it was "too dis tinctively an Eastern measure," and he hoped to improve it by Hading it back to conference. That was simply a sug gestion to give him refuge when as sailed by the extremists represented by MooiiY. His vote asainst would be useful when the reform element makes the political temperature uncomfortable for him. Plumb, of Kansas, and Paddock, of Nebraska, made their record entirely for home use. They represented their constituents in their vote. The Omaha Bee. the lead ing Republican daiiy of the state, is zealous in support of the party ticket, but says the bill, as agreed upon by the conference and finally passsij, "will be a very great disappointment to the West." The senate amendments were mostly discarded, and the bill passed very much as originally framed by Mo Kini.ey. The Bee further says: "The interests of the West can expect •no benefits from this tariff measure agreed on by the conference committee. It is certain to advance U»e price of al most everything the farmers of the West must buy, and it wiil not increase the price of a single article they have to sell."' It attaches very little importance to the reciprocity tag, and says its value in enlarging the country's trade is "wholly problematical."' When such concessions are made by reluctant Re publican papers, there should be litile difficulty with the sufferers in deter mining their political duty. SOME EARLY FRUITS. It has been an unpleasant view al ways for protectionists to ; meet that their policy is the natural parent of trusts and combinations. . The McXix- I.KY bill is not quite in effect yet; still, its anticipation has stimulated the form ation or enlargement of several trusts. The business circular sent out to its cus tomers by the Grand Rapids firm men tions two or three. The American Ax and Tool company has gathered in all . the ax factories in the land, and now has. the entire monopoly. It lias, how ever, been magnanimous to raise the : price of axes but S2 per dozen. That may be but preliminary. The many sawmak- have been reduced to two. and prices have been put up from 10 to 50 per cent. The glassmakers have been reduced to two great aggregations, and 30 cent is reported as the first advance. The American Stove Board company is said to comprise- all ': the stove board.com panies, and has doubled its "prices since the urotective tariff began to project its cheerful light across the pathway of those who pool their interests for the public good, as they sometimes face tiously remark. The powder companies are -another of the fortunate class. They have combined ami added 100 per cent to their: prices.- The higher the tariff the easier to aggregate interests and fleece the confiding public. The new act will afford opportunities for many such lucrative combinations. , — •*»— HOW MR. LiIND GOT TINNED. The Milwaukee Wisconsin, a Repub lican organ,' printed _ May , 22, 1890, . the following account from it's ' Washington correspondent of how the amendment to the McKinley bill increasing the tax on tin plate was < adopted by the house by one majority. ; As its source is Republican of the orthodox sect, its accuracy is unquestionable. ;"•'> ', :■'■ An interesting question for Mr. Lixd to explain is: • "Why did you change your vote?" ' ' : ■ Representative . Thomas, ', of . Wisconsin, joined six other representatives to-day In opposition to Mat part of , the McKim.ey bill which gives increased protection to tin plate manufacturers. The Democrats demanded a : separate vote on this amendment.' When the roll call had been finished .the clerks made the discover* that the tin plate paragraph had been rejected— l4B ayes to 151 noes. Tne speaker sent a messenger ■ to ; Chairman McKiKiiEY, , informing him how the vote stood. The latter began scurrying for cer tain Republicans who had broken away from party associates and voted against an increase of the tin plate tax. r Mr. Thomas was in duced to change his vote, and Mr. Lisd (Minnesota) did likewise. 7 The changes adopted the tin plate clause by one majority. . ■ ; - — ..'. . — ■>■;.-%■-:■'_ AN INGENIOUS PROVISO. Only as the details of the tariff meas ure are revealed in their practical oper ation will it be fully understood how well and with what ingenuity the mo nopolists and trusts have been provided for. Tea, as well as coffee, has for years " been on the free < list. A queer section of the tariff act provides that a tax of 10 per cent shall- be levied on all teas 'grown east of the Cape of Good Hope when shipped , from - places west of the cape. To the uninitiated it would be a mystery why a duty should be imposed on tea it it were free from China and Japan, if it did stop over in Europe on its journey. - The explana tion given .by the trade is that the smaller dealers can't place their orders in the tea-growing lands, but buy of the European importers, while the few large dealers who buy direct will . have, entire control of the business. They will be protected by crushing out the smaller dealers. This is, however, in line with the policy of protection. OBJECT OF CONTEMPT. The Philadelphia Telegraph, a hide bound Republican paper, says: "Congress has made ; itself an ; object of contempt in the eyes ' of the country. It is one more instance c proving the amazing incompetency of Republican leadership in Washington in the event • ful year of grace : 1800. How much longer before the curtain will be rung down on this wretched farce?" ._ . That is right. Congress ;is an object of contempt in the eyes of the country. Its action on the tariff and the election bills did it. The : five Minnesota representatives voted for those measures. They con tributed all they; could . toward : making congress an object : of contempt, and justly deserve their full share of the odium. , . « ■'■■; What have they done? The lottery scheme, as a local, institution, is vociferously alleged to be defunct in North Dakota, but . its memory ,is ; "kept f fresh ; and - . tender in ' the mental ' conservatories of , some of its ' friends. , It ; was ; perhaps I noted : that ; Senator Hagoabt, one of the most stalwart of its supporters, swept air the Republican cau cuses in Fargo. the other day: his ward, that has" five or six churches, almost unani ] mously J voted down resolutions of disap : proval of the lottery. { Ko "doubt : the voters THE SjiiNT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: THURSDAY MORNIXG. OCTOBER 2, 1890. had in reverent view the old injunctii n to speak kindly of the dead. Perhaps they hope for a resurrection. The Republican candidate for governor lives in the jvard, aud probably voted with his friends. The five cities, Kansas City, Omaha, Min neapolis, St. Paul aud Denver, are frequently grouped as the great cities west of tne Mis sissippi. In 1880 Kansas City stood at the head with 55,747 population, and Omaha at the foot with 30.518. Mr. Popteb's census now gives Omaha 139,0(H>, and Kansas City 137.000, aud it affords the former great sat isfaction to parade as the largest city upon the Missouri. Its voting andschool statistics utl'orii some chance for invidious compari sons, and the fact that the census exceeds nil local claims indicates that it had remarkably good fortune in the euumeratiou. The anti-lottery association in Louisiana has sent letters to the governors of all the states, urging the enforcement of the local laws lhat forty-two of them have against lot scries, and* especially to prevent the sale of tickets. The octopus lias announced tliot tickets and prizes will now go by express in plnceof themails. Tbeseextenninatoft. think the thing is crippled, and by a general pounc ing on it can be crushed. The tickets are easily had in many places in St. Paul, but the governor just now is interested iv a little different sort of ticket. A Nebraska paper that doubts the efficacy of prohibition in lowa proposes as a prac tical test to spend a week with any prohibition leader of large capacity in going through the state, the prohibitionist to take a drink at every fifth saloon once only; and if he is not kept drunk every day the "editor, to pay all the expenses of the trip, otherwise the j prohibi- . tionist to pay. : So ; far no prohibitionist has been found with sufficient confidence in his capacity.' ? f a Wjffr i li' <a * e^mSiißil^Bßßl '.' - " ; . q» ' — — ';■ . ■ ..-".." " The last legislature of Massachusetts threw a sop toward the : prohibitionists in the ■ re quirement that all tipplers in Boston should sit down to drink. After the experience of a' . few months it is computed : that 90 per cent of the saloonkeepers arc making more money . than they did when ■ the parties stood at the . bar. The legs hold out ', longer when seated. Coxgkessxax Dixglet, who was one of the house tariff conferrees. nnd is coming West to extol that production, says in his Maine paper ■ that - '.'the : movement in * boots and shoes is greater than a : year ago." ■" He ; will find in the West that the ••movement" is all towards the outside of the party that imposes such a monstrosity upon the people. "-- The tariff is to become operative next Mon day, and the great virtue •' claimed for it is : that it will reduce the price of sugar. About . $55,00i>,000 is to be saved the people in this. The sugar-buyers need : not rise at untimely hours on : the 6th to see the saccharine de i scent. There will be no great shock at its magnitude. As soox as congress is cut of the way the president is expected to make a tour in the i West, nominally to attend army reunions in Illinois, lowa " and Kansas, which have dates for the €th, <Hh and 10th. His presence is expected to ; revive } the ' fires ot ISBB in all loyal hearts and help the party. •- The maple sugar makers have a good mar ket for all the sugar they can make at almost their own ; prices, but they are to have a bounty of two cents a pound under the tariff.

I.— All speculation concerning the future plans of - J. G. Goddard, late chairman of the Western passenger association, was brought to an end to-day. It was given out officially - that .he:- is •" to be commissioner of the Trunk Line - asso ciation., the place so long held by Albert Fink, who resigned on account of fail ing health over a year ago. Mr. God dard, when spoken to on the subject, .unsealed his lips for the first time and acknowledged that any further attempt at concealment would be useless since the story has been giveu '■:: out , by those who were authorized to speak. He admitted that he had been offered and had accepted the ■ commissionership of the Trunk Line association, and that after Nov. 1 his headquarters would be in _ New York. Mr. Goddard gets a better position than even the most imaginative guesser had picked out for him. " His salary as trunk line commissioner will be $25, --000. if it is the same that was allowed his predecessor, which >* is more than double the amount he received as chair man of the Western Passenger associa tion. Mr. Goddard- was offered $15,000 a year to - preside over the South west ern Railway and Steamship associa tion, but he had already been ap proached by the trunk line presidents. Since Mr. i ink's resignation the Trunk Line association has been presided over by H. J.Hayden, second vice president of the New York Central railroad. The committee of presidents entrusted .with the selection of a permanent commis sioner was composed of John King, of the Erie ' George B. Roberts, of the Pennsylvania, and Chauncey -M. Depew, of the New York Central. After considering the matter a long time, they finally agreed upon Mr. Goddard. Com muuication was had with all the trunk line , presidents, and the committee's choice was unanimously indorsed. A ■-'.'-. meeting will be _ held in New York to-morrow to ratify the- action of the committee. Mr. God dard intends to take a t few weeks' rest before going east to ■ assume L; charge of ' his new office. He will have general charge of both the f reitrhtand passenger departments of the Trunk Line associa tion... ■ .'; .:'..-" ".'■■-__ -. . ■^ NEW; FORM OF CONTRACT.

An English Baronet's Queer Meth ods Lead to Litigation. - . London, Oct. I.— A sensational case came , before the J> Westminster . police ' court this morniiur. The principal per • son involved was Sir Thomas George Freake, Bart, whose town house is at No. 8? Onslow j' Gardens. Sir Thomas was arrested at the instance of a Mr. Gibson, who used : to be his intimate friend. The story told by Gibson is i : that Sir Thomas' lured him, - ; on one pre-: ; text or another, ■ •' to ' the - cellar of an empty house in Kensington. There the baronet, assisted by friends, overpow ered Gibson and put him ; in handcuffs. - This done, the assailants examined Gibson's pockets and took possession of ; his keys.. With these Sir Thomas pro ceeded to St. George's club, in Hanover ' square,' went to Gibson's ■ private ■ box,* "unlocked it and took out and destroyed the letters and photographs which Gib son had received from a lady. After, that he sent a telegram from the club, to which he signed Gibson's name. The magistrate, ' after a. brief hearing, re manded Sir Thomas for a further exam ination. It is asserted that Sir Thomas and Gibson were rivals for the affections of the lady whose letters Sir Thomas appropriated, and that both of them had been on terms of extreme intimacy with her. It is further asserted that the lady ; had tired of Gibson's^ attentions.-, and that she was present in the cellar at the time of the assault on Gibson. Frekke's Crime Is Forgery. . ■ The Freake scandal, which i was ven tilated at the Westminster police ; court to-day, is the talk of the town. Sir Thomas Freake and wife are both ! well known in society; They are enormously wealthy, and their establishments and entertainments are : conducted ; on ; a grand scale. - Mr. Gibson was formerly an Intimate friend of T Sir Thomas, and lived at his house for over a year. It seems that during this time he be came ♦enamored- of his .-; friend's -.mis tress, and finally succeeded In alienat ing her from Sir Thomas. .Gibson -also spied upon Sir Thomas' movements,and : kept a record of . his • observations; <, be sides purloining .. certain letters from the : woman .in question, which I were of a nature to compromise Sis Thomas. Finally, Gibson attempted, with the aid of the letters *■ and ; other incriminating evidence, to levy black mail upon his erstwhile friend.V Sir Thomas delayed matters by parleying, and meanwhile; succeeded, by showing Gibson up in his true colors, in gaining the co-operation of his former mistress. Through -, her * aid : , Gibson was decoyed into a trap and Sir. Thomas obtained the letters with which Gibson had endeav ored to blackmail him. It Ms. probable that his plan ;of defending - himself from the machinations of his- false friend would have succeeded,: and no publicity would have resulted, if h«| had not signed Gibson's name to a tele gram." This constitutes forgery and in volves a very severe punishment. Gibf. son quickly f seized the opportunity to obtain revenge, and brought the matter to • the : attention 'of - the crown prose cutor, who announced his determina tion to press the charge, irrespective of the peculiar circumstances of the case. i Much ~ sympathy ■is ~i everywhere • ex pressed for the prisoner, and doubtless : great influence will be brought to bear to save ■ him from the '?. penal conse quences of his technical offense.

Bodkin, of Moorhead. came down to Minneapolis with seven carloads of wheat which he sold himself, obtaining just seven cents per bnshel more for it than he would have received had one or two of Gram Inspector Clausen's depu ties been permitted to place a grade on it. "The fact is," continued this gentle man, "that ihe grain inspection depart ment is grading grain one point lower down all along the line. To" illustrate. No. lis graded No. 2 and No. 2is set down as No. 3. I understand Mr. Claus en was asked where he got these grades, and his answer was in Chicago and Buffalo; and, in explaining this, he said that the Minnesota grades were not sat isfactory in those markets. This is nat ural enough. Those cities buy oar wheat, and the dealers would be very peculiar were they not interested in having the wheat of this state graded down as low as possible. But the fact is that the legislature of this state has established a system of grades, and the peopie of the Fifth district, who raise only wheat, are anxious to know why thelaw is not carried out." "Another point 1 would like to b; v i elucidated by Mr. Clausen is why has he has found it convenient or advisable to appoint the son of the manager of the M. <fe D. (English syndicate) elevator a member of the grain inspection de partment. This young man, tlie son of Superintendent Gibbs. has been de tailed to grade wheat out of the North western system of elevators for the big mills at Minneapolis. Of course young Mr. Gibbs could do his work honestly a)id fairly, but I want to inquire if his appointment is one that the people in terested in shipping wheat to Minne oiis would approve." 4k ls there much dissatisfaction over the wheat tradings this year among tne farmers? , "There is a great deal in my portion of the state, and 1 want to assure the managers of Gov. Merriam's canvass that in no other way can so many vote-s be made for his opponents at the coming election. Wheat is our only crop, and if it is generally known throughout the tfifth district that the farmers are being robbed of from five to seven cents on each bushel of grain tnrough the srrain insoection department's system o grad ihg, there wjll be a revolution in the nprthern prtft of this state that will sweep Minneapolis-made governors out of existence. "Do you mean to say that the wheat ring of Minneapolis is backing the pres ent governor?" asked the reporter. "There is no doubt of it," was the re ply. "This wheat ring has practically made all the governors of the state has had in recent years, and, while it was beaten two years, it was not slow to make its peace with the winner. All of the members of this ring have grown wealthy through the favor of the laws, and the pliant governors we have had for year after year. And more than this these grain men are not satified with having a governor whom they can control, but they are ev ery year willing to throw plenty of money into a campaign against men who dare to run for the legislature without 'Pillsbury's Best' stamped upon their backs." There is undoubtedly a great deal of dissatisfaction throughout the wheat growing counties of this state over the grades established by Inspector Clau sen, but this Is not an approach to what there would be were the public aware of the number of political heelers now drawing large salaries from the state as employes of the grain inspection de partment. They are more than legion in number. Indeed, there are no less than three men with salaries ranging from $75 to $150 per month en gaeed iv inspecting the wheat which is shipped to St. Paul, when, as a matter of fact, one man would be quite sufficient to do the work. In no department of the state govern ment has the multiplication of state offices proceeded to such an outrageous extent as in rhat presided over by the railway commission. In the long. warm days ot last summer as many as five men could be found asleep on the luxurious sofas in Grain Inspector Clausen's office almost any time. An investigation into tlie workings of tiie grain inspection department is ur gently demanded by the wheat shippers of the entire state. Judge Wilson, the Democratic candi date for governor, will speak at tire fol lowing places next week: Delano, Wright county, Oct. G. Litchfield. Meeker county. Oct. 7. Wilimar, Kandiyohi county.

Sheldon Blakely, the secretary, was in charge yesterday. The announcement was made to the hungry and thirsty who called that Congressman Snider would be on hand earlj next week. In this connection it may be well to remind the workers who were so liberally sup plied with cash two years ago that the captain is going to spend a great deal less money this year, and that in all probability the first to see him will get the major portion of the cash. The Republican state committee has placed Senator Hixon and O. O. Canes torp on the same foot ins; at their head quarters. This action of the committee is very pleasing to Attorney Reynolds and other backers of Air.

Irish Nationalists' Appeal Denied by Judge Holmes. Dubi-ix, Oct. I.— The appeal of Messrs. Dillo.n, O'Brien and their fel low accused to the high court of justice for a writ to prohibit the magistrates at Tipperary from proceeding with the conspiracy cases, on the ground of bias, has failed of its object. Judge Holmes decided this morning not to grant the writ. No further step can be taken, it is understood, with a view to changing the magistrates before whom the hear ing is to be continued. But the Nation alists feel that their protests, persistent ly made against being tried by magis trates whom they have reason to be lieve biased against them, will have much effect on public opinion. Atten tion has been strikingly directed to the composition of the court before which political offenders, as the Nationalists consider the arrested men, are being tried. The case for the prosecution was continued at Tioperary to-day, without striking episodes. London, Oct. I.— The arrests and trials in Irelaud still occupy a consider able share of public attention. John Morley and Commoner lllingsworth, who were among the crowd at Tipper ary on Thursday when the police clubbed the people, have expressed their willingness to appear as witnesses of the assaults, should the matter come before the courts. An indication of the awakening of English opinion regarding Ireiaud is found in the action had by the Baptist denomination, now in ses sion in annual assembly. This body has, among other resolutions, adopted one severely condemning the Irish policy of the government. The body also passed resolutions favoring free education, and expressing sympathy with the movement in the direction of bettering the condition of the working people. A note taker employed by the police at Tipperary has made some damaging admissions in regard to last Thursday's collision in faont of the conrt house. He says that at the time the trouble be gan he was inside the house. He was attracted by the noise, and rushed into the street, carrying a revolver in o'ie hand and a stick in the other. He made his way into the midst of the melee and began to use his stick vigorously. He says he must have struck a half "dozen persons, while he himself received no blow. The note taker was in piain clothes at the time, and was employed to take notes in shorthand. GLAD TO SEE THE KAISER. Austrians : . Welcome .Germany's ;- ■ Ruler to Vienna. ; ;. Viexxa, Oct.

Jack the Ripper's American Double Is Jugged in New Jersey. Merchantville Stirred to Its Center Over the Miller Murder. Birchall Maintains His Usual Composure, But His Wife Is Frantic. Tough Coons Rob a Gang of Laborers and Defy a Sheriff. Camokn. X. J., Oct. I.— A. Benson wanted in Leavenworth, Kan., was ar rested here last night. Benson was caught while inquiring at the delivery window of the postoftiee for a pack age whieu he was expecting from Leavenworth. Benson has consented to go back to Kansas without a requisi tion, and Deputy Sheriff Picking, of Leavenworth, will leave with his "pris oner to-morrow. The crime for which Benson is wanted was a most atroc ious one. He was paying attention to the seventeen-year-old daughter of a female fortune teller in Leavenworth. The mother objected to his attentions because he was a married man. The daughter and her lover formed a plot to get rid of tne mother. Benson shot her through the head, killing her. and then, after sewing up the body, dumped it into the Missouri river. The daugh ter was arrested, but Benson, having secured possession of about $400 of the murdered woman's money, managed to eiude tho police. LOOKS BAD FOR LINGO. He Is Undoubtedly the Slayer of Mrs. Miller. Camdex, N. J., Oct. I.— The excite ment in Merchantville and vicinity con tinues to increase us day by day goes by without getting much nearer the solu tion of the Miller mystery than on the day of the discovery of the murder. This excitement seems fast approach ing fever beat, and last night a proposi tion was first started to call a meeting of those interested and petition the gov ernor to lend whatever assistance lies in his power to the authorities of the county in unraveling the mystery. Many of the most prominent men in the borongh, as well as influential farmers living in the surrounding|country, favor such a scheme, and the field seems •ripe for the movement to be made. What the result of this talk will be remains to be seen. Lawyers Jess and Taylor finally se cured admission to Francis Lingo this tnornins. Soon after the negro was committed to jail they were retained as his counsel, and since then have been making strenuous efforts to gain access to their client in order to get his state ment but were refused by the prose cuting attorned. Lawyer" Taylor says that be firmly believes in Lingo's inno cence of the crime. Two or three im portant clues in connection with the murder of Mrs. Miller were unearthed to-day, two of which will tend to fasten the chain of , circumstantial evidence still closer around Lingo. The first new important person in the case is Mrs. Riggs, wife of G. W. Kiggs, whose resi dence is nearly ODposite that occupied by the family of the late William Mil ler, father of the husband of the mur dered woman. Her statement is con cise, and is to the effect that on the afternoon of the murder of Mrs. Miller she saw Lingo, and spoke to him as he went down the road and entered the brush where the body of the murdered woman was found. It was between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock, ana she saw him again the same afternoon, but it was some time afterwards. Another Im portant link in the chain of evidence is that furnished by Ruth Moore. It is to the effect that she saw Mrs. Miller walK down the road towards the bushes, and take the path through them, the short cut of which led to her home. This was shortly after 2 o'clock. The statements of these two persons prove conclusively that, Lingo must have walked down the road, and en tered the patch of brush in advance of Mrs. Miller; that he evidently knew that she was going to make the short cut across the patch to her home, and he proceeded in advance and probably intercepted her. If he committed the murder, that remains to be proven; but the links, as above stated, seem to be forging tighter and tighter around his neck. BIRCHALL'S GREAT XEKVE. The Convicted Murderer as Game as Ever. Woodstock, Out., Oct. I.— The ex citement over the great Birchall trial is fast subsiding. iVhile everybody is sat isfied as to the justness of the verdict, universal sympathy is felt for the young wife, who is suffering severely from the strain cf the past week and the result of the trial. Birchall seems unmoved by his sentence. He drew a fancy picture this morning for a friend who called to ask after him, and signed it "J. Birchall, Oct. 1. 1890." He shows no sign whatever of fear, and evidences no ani mosity toward those who testified against him. Another guard was ap pointed this morning, so that there will be a guard in his cell with him contin ually, night and dny. His daily walk in the jailyard has been stopped, and he will never more go down the jail stairway until he goes to the gallows. THIEVES DEPl r A SHERIFF. Rascally Negroes Rob a Gang of Laborers. OzAßK,Ala.Oct.l.--The railroad hands at this place were paid off yesterday afternoon, and were shortly thereafter attacked by a band of negro robbers, who made them throw up their hands, and had succeeded in robbing several before the alarm was given. Then the robbers fled to Dean's station, eleven miles north, whither the sheriff and several deputies pursued, and found them in a house. The rob bers leveled rifles and pistols and commanded the sheriff to throw forward his hand-satchel,in which were his pistols. The sheriff did so, but two deputies appeared and the negroes be gan running. The sheriff and three officers opened fire. Two of the negroes fell badly wounded, and a third was hit, but with the others escaped. One of the gang has taken refuge in a house at some distance from tho scene of the shooting, and is defying arrest. The sheriff, who has taken his wounded prisoners to jail, is now on his way to the house, and more trouble is expected. IiED BY THE KID. Apache Cut-Throats Terrorize New Mexicans. Albuqukrqce, N.

Marmon, of the Laguna rifles, a company of Pueblo Indians, which did effective work in the field when Geronimo and his following of Apache cut throats were ou the warpath, returned to-day from the seat of the present uprising and states that peoDle are terrorized, and fear is entertained that beiore the rene gades are captured a number of the whites will be massacred. Just be fore the colonel left Silver City a cour ier came riding into town and re ported the savages ou the Upper Gilaaud ranchmen and miners fleeing for their lives. Two men were murdered day be fore yesterday. The Apaches aro being led by "The Kid," a young Indian brave. Several companies of cavalry are in the Black range looking for thy Indians. FIRE LADDIES MANGLED. ' Eighteen of Them Buried Under ' ."_;;■ ;; ■ Falling Walls. ;7 ; Chicago, Oct.; I.— A fire of uncertain origin started in the two-story arid base ment brick building at No. .173 South Canal street shortly after 11 o'clock last •night, and twelve firemen were serious ly injured by the falling . of the roof. The building was occupied on the sec ond floor and basement* by 8. Franklin & Sons, a picture, factory, and on the main floor, by the :\ Mills - Railway Gate company. The fire originated -on the second floor among a lot of rubbish. It is supposed to be the result of spontane ous combustion. Owing to the inflam mable nature of the contents of the ' building the fire spread with wonderful rapidity. When the lire department '•■ arrived it was almost beyond control. The under basement was in flames, and the first and second -floors were burning. The men of Engine Companies Nos. 17 and 10 were sent to the rear to tight the fire from the point they entered the building, and had began to work when- an explo sion,, of: naptha, it '■ is supposed, occurred on the second floor. ' With this the roof and floor came Gown with a. terrible crash, burying tiie firemen in the ruins. A score of "fire men rushed to their rescue, and in less than half an hour the ruins had been torn away and all the victims saved. Mr. Franklin i mates his loss at 515. --000, with 57,000 insurance. The Mill? Railway Gate company's loss is about the same, and the loss on the building, which is owned by Warren Springer, is probably ?10,000. The injured men are: John Riley, Engine No. 10, probably fatally: Andrew Nelson, Engine No, 17, -probably ; fatally: Richard HaJverson, Engine No. 17; Tom Cochrane, engine No. 10; Charles Clexton, Engine No. 17; Silvester Higgings, Engine No. 17; William Kiiey, Daniel Tuomy and Will iam Carey, Engine No. 17.
