About 2 o'clock this morning* as Officer
Marquess was patrol Hi* hi« beat In the
neighborhood oi Front aid Tatnail street*
he discovered a man coning down Tatnail
street, and when in fro^tof one of the junk
shops In the Arcade row atop and tried the
door three times. Having had bis suspicions
aroused the offi ter went up to the man and
fourni that he hud a bundle concealed under

man who became abusive and dared the
officer to arrest him without a warrant aud
knocked the officer down whea he laid hold

JOHN KYLE KKLEiUjEU.
The Facta In Hit Cane Completely Ex
onerate Him of all Criminal Hu* plcion.
At the final hearing before Magistrate
Lennon in Philadelphia on Thursday, the
caae against John Kyle, who was arrested
in that city on November 2, on a cliarg« of
appropriating to bis own uso. uionev obt ained
on a cheek belonging to Jacob Helntz of
Middletown, this State, was dismissed, there
being no evidence tosubslantiate the charge.
It came out in the testimony that Kyle was
met at Ninth and Market st reets, this city,
by Hugh McCaffrey, and asked to wait until
fc friend of his named Helntz came out of a
lawyer's office near by. When the latter ap
peared he had invited McCatl cv and Kyle
to accompany him to Philadelphia. Upon
arriving there, the three, went to a gam
bling den where McCafirey and Heintz
played until they lost
Helntz then tried to raise inouey ou cheeks
but was unable to get them cashed. Mc
Caffrey's attempts to get them cashed met
with no better result«. At this stage Hcintz
gave Kyle a couple of checks and said II he
get them cashed he (Ileiutz) would divide
the money among the three aud tney could
then have a good time. Kyle went to J.
Wesley Canary, with A. C. Yates & Co., a
friend of his,and got the cash on a check for
111.26 which he turned over to Helntz.
Another check he got cashed by another
friend, Thomas McCarran, $20, about two
dollars of which was immediately spent
there, Helntz saying at the time that the
money was to be divided between McCaffrey
and Kyle. McCaffrey, having received a
few dollars of the money left the other two,
who, after waiting for him for eome time,
came to the Broad street station to start for
home.

Helntz then said as the money had
not been divided he wanted it, and calling
a policeman had Kyle arrested. McCarran
Who balled Kyle out, swore positively thu
Heintz said thut the money
was to be divided. At the hearing
a number of witnesses irom this
city testified to the tiuth and
honesty of Kyle. The whole trouble as far
as young Kyle is concerned,appears to have
been merely the result of his indiscretion in
keeping bad company. It will doubtless be
a lesson to him. The Hugh McCaffrey he
was with is the man who was prominently
connected with the bogus grave yard lnsur*
anee movement in this city a few years ago.
t
A SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Question of the .Election of the Repub
lican Senator In Kent County Md.
[Baltimore Bun Special. ]
Chbstbrtown, Md., Nov. 9.—The full
vote of Kent last Tuesday for Senator, ac
cording to the certificates of the judges of
election was: Burchlnul, Republican, 2,045;
Usilton, Democrat, 2,034; Burchinal's ma
jority. 11. By a clerical error on the part of
a clerk of election in the First district the
whole Republican ticket was allowed on the
tally-list five more votes than were actually
cast for it, and so the judges certi
fied. The discovery of this mistake
reduces Burchinal's majority to six.
The Republicans claim that the return
judges have no legal right to correct this
mistake after the certificates have been
signed by the judges of election, and the
only redress open to the Democrats Is to
contest the election. The Democrats con
tend that the return judges are not obliged
to certify to the correctness of certificates
of
.
t^em. There are other votes which were
thrown out on tlie night of the election,
and which the Democrats claim
illegally excluded. A sufficient number, it
is thought, were thus turned down which,
had they been counted, would have elected
Usilton by a small majority. The return
Monday next, when they
will decide upon the form of certificate
they will return. The ballots will prob
ably be recounted on that day or on Wed
nesday, and If, as surmised above, a

Dold. the pork packer, was erecting a large,
lour-story wooden building to be used a6 a
cooper shop.

ture when the cyclone swept down uron It.
In nr* instant, thu building was whirled from
it« foundation. It* timbers snapped like
pipe-stem«, aud beioro the workmen could
realize what, had happened the Immense
structure e »llapsed Nearly all of the men
were burled b«*ncath the timoers, and their
cries could he heard above the noise of the
rushing wind.
SEARCHING FOR THE BURIED MEN.
The hurricane lasted only 10 minutes. As
F oon p.i Its fury abated messageR were tele
phonrd to 8tation No 1 for officers and sur
néons, and at the same time ordern were
turned lu at Station No. 8 to send out the
entire force Of police, and impress the doc
tors in the vicinity. It was some time be
fore an adequate force arrived to begin
clearing away the timbers and search lor the
burled r.:*.
About 4 o'clock the body of William
Reimer was unearthed. He lay on his face,
which was terribly crushed. A heavy tim
ber lay across his back and another forced
his head into the ground. Jacob Schendabl,
the foreman, was also found horribly

It was 0 o'clock before the last injured
inau was tak* n from the ruins. Great ex
cilemen prevailed, and the police were kept
busy iu holding the crowd back. The build
ing was of the cheapest description and oc
cupied a very exposed place in an open lot.
It is thought that several more of the men
will die.

THE MADISON DISASTER.
Madison, Wis., Nov. 9.— The causes
which led to the accident at the capitol
building yesterday afternoon are variously
stated. Some ascribe it to defective iron
p.liars, aud others to poor masonry. It 16
the optuion of Contractor Bentley that the
loss will fall on the commonwealth, as the
plans were approved by the State architect,
and the blame cannot be laid on the
shoulders of tbe builders.
The loss cannot be estimated at present.
The work was to be completed March 1,
1884, and $200,000 were appropriated by the
Legislature to meet the necessary expense.

New York, Nov. 9.— The boiler of the
tugboat James N. Thompson exploded this
morning, blowing the craft to atoms, the
hull sinking almost instantly. The tug was
coming in Hell Gate, East river, at the time,
with three schooners in tow. The tide being

TUE FAT WOMAN'S HUSBAND.
Mr. Moses Denies That He Has Sold Hia
Dead Wife's Body.
New York, Nov. 9.— At 10 o'clock this
morning David Moses,the bereaved widower
oi the late Blanche Gray, the fat woman
mounted tbe raised platform that extends
across the curiosity hall of the Museum, on
the bowery, where he is on exhibition, and
took hit- accustomed place between the Cir
cassian Girl and Bearded Woman. The lec
turer, when extolling the virtues of each of
the curiosities a little later, said:
"It may be of interest to you, ladles and
gentlemen, to know that the stories now
afloat concerning Mr. Moses' disposition oi
his angel wife's remains are totally false.
Not only is it true that he did not sell her
body, as reported, but it is also true that he
has impoverished himself to preveut the
desecration of her grave by stationing a
watch day and night over the same from the
day oi Interment up to the present time,
and It is only that he may be enabled to
coutinue this guard ol love that he consents
to exhibit himself and sell the few remain
ing photographs of the departed, which you
can obtain at the ridiculoiuly small price of
10 cei-ts."
Alter the lecture the reporter approached
Mr. Moses and purchased a picture. As he
handed back the change of a quarter Mr.
Moses said: "This is the only way in which
I have sold Mrs. Moses' body and the only
way I intend to sell it."
"Then you do not fear her brother?"
"Why should I ? I have done only what
a man and a gentleman should do. I mar
ried the woman of my choice, she died and I
mourn for her. The funeral Is mine, but if
I am molested by anyone it will be their
funeral pretty quick."

AMUSEMENTS.
On Monday evening next Oliver Doud
Byron will appear in the Opera House in his
play of "Across the Continent." In speak
iugof the play the Chicago Tribune says:
"There is a touching narrative running
through the entire drama which interests
the audience from the rising of the curtain
to its fall. The scenes are the mosteffectiye
we have ever witnessed in this city, the situ
ations of the piece are—to use a theatrical
phrase—immense, and there is a fine oppor
tunity for good acting, not only on the part
of the hero of the piece, but also of the
subordinate characters."
In regard to the "Silver King" that is to
be presented here on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday evenings of next week, the
Times of Philadèlphia says: "The moral of
'The Silver King' is commendable, for it
teaches the danger and misery of intemper
ance. Its theatric quality is good, for it
sustains the interest to the end. It is the
best melo-drama produced here in years,
and if the enthusiasm with which it is
nightly received by the large audiences
which flock to see it is any citerion it is
destined ti have a very long run at the
Chestnut Street Theatre." The sale of seats
will open on Monday at the store of C. F.

Paris, Nov. 9. —The Figaro asserts that
Prime Minister Ferry has instructed the
French Charge d'Affalres at Pekin to
summon the Chinese Government to declare
whether it intends to support the irarrisou
at Bac-Ninh in Tonquln.
The Tempt says that during a recent skir
mish in the direction of Bac-Ninh, a Japa
nese officer, who accompanied the French
detachment, clearly saw the banners of Chi
nese regulars among the troois occupying
Bac-Ninh.
London, Nov. 9.— The Utamlard'n Paris
correspondent has had an interview wilh M.
Ferry. The Prime Minister denies that
France has any intention of annexiuir New
Guinea, and says, with regard to
China, that the Chinese diplomatists
are neither frank, honest or ingenuous.
He utterly disbelieves iu the mlli
tary power of China and is firmly convinced
that there is not the remotest chance ol that
country going to war. M. Ferry do*» not
see any such eventuality as a French block
ade of Chinese ports. "Tonqutn," he
says, "Is not a Chinese possession. France
has treaty rights over Tonquiu aud will not
retreat from her position at the (Uctatlou of
China. When the French are firmly estab
lished in the Red River Delta, unother
market will be opened and the Chinese will
then acquiesce in the fait accompli. There
is no difference with England iu regard to
Tonquin or Madagascar which cannot be
amicably adjusted."
It is reported that France ha« iutlrnlated
her willingness to join England in the
summation of a treaty of commerce with
