He has been a prominent factor in the local politics of Chicago for many years, his forte being as a campaign singer at Republican meetings. They even gave him credit for having carried elections at times for the Republicans by means of his campaign songs. Now that he is dead it is discovered that he has left his family in destitute circumstances, and the papers are calling on the Chicago public to show their gratitude by contributing for their aid. It is safe to predict that if such a fund is raised the donors will not be the politicians Frank served during life to his own detriment. The professional politi cian is a cold-blooded animal. The Eastern papers are fast and furious in denouncing the river and harbor bill which was vetoed by the president. Their present outbreak is caused by the congres sional resolutions calling upon the secre tary of war for information as to what streams were included in the bill which were worthless, or upon which the money would be lost. Some of these papers are including the Mississippi river in their denuueiatioes, and demand that tha 1 should be left oat of the bill. This is stuff and nonsense. The Mississippi river was almost the only meritorious part of the bill. If the East ern papers continue their howl, the mem bers of congress from the Mississippi val ley will have to sit down on them. There is a majority of congress from the terri tory styled the Mississippi valley, and points contiguous thereto, that is not worthless. ' Feank Hatton, a Conkling stalwart ciank, picked up from a comparatively obscure printing office, somewhere in lowa, and appointed first assistant post master general, is carrying his truncheon " with a high hand. A Mr. Lampher was appointed by the president postmaster at Lowville. N. V., and was promptly •confirmed by the senate at its last session. • Yet his com mission has been withheld to this day. When delegates were to b. appointed lo the Republican state nominating con vention, the New York Times is authority for the statement, that it was understood in Lewis county, that Mr. Frank: Hatton would not let Mr. Lampher's commission be issued, unless he (Mr. Lampher) would setnre the election of Folger dele gates to * the convention at Saratoga. Mr. Lampher would not comply with the demand, and Cornell • delegates were chosen. Mr. Lampher's com mission is still withheld by his high-might iness. Mr. Frank Hatton, who thus defies the executive and the senate, and is clearly guiity of malfeasance in office, to gratify a narrow, partisan spite. The friends of the president declare that he should not be held responsible for Hatton's immoral conduct, but he will justly be, unle-s he yanks the collar off this arrogant, defiant official. ___________________ DEATH OF COL. CHURCH. Last month Col. John Church died at his residence in Little Compton, R. 1., having reached the great age of nearly ninety years. He was the father of John Church, Jr., of Cincinnati, the publisher of "Church's Musical Visitor," one of the pop ular and valuable musical publications of the present day. 'He was born at Little Compton,on the large estate inherited from his, famous forefather, Col. Benjamin Church, the brave and eagle-eyed war jjior of . his day, who final ly . out of the bloody King Philip's war brought peace to the dis tressed shores of Narragansett bay. Col. Church was a useful citizen, of the highest r-'.auding for probity and honor, a con sistent and devout Christian, a very .pillar of the Congregational ciuic'i to which he belonged. He had served honorably and ably in the legislatuie of h a native state, and* his loss will be deeply felt, not only by a _Jarc6 circle of immediate friends, but tnrough-ut the state. His wife died fifteen years ago. He was the father of four childien, two sons and two daughters, all of • whom survive him. It is noticeable that he f died in his native town on the very estate where 1* -c w&s born. Such permanency of resider ice is rare in this country at this day v hen ihange and emigration take whole "gener ations away from their native homef.,. This anchanged permanency of resid ence is more like the customs of Old "England, where ancestral estates remain in the fam ily for generations, descending from father to son. ROURRONIS3I RAJ [PANT. Great is Bourbonism,and' South Carolina is its prophet. Thatelem.er.t,though largely in the minority, carries all the elections in the state. Here is an exhibition of facts | and figures, showing a, systematic suppres sion of votes, and demonstrating that a minority, abaat one third of the voting population, control the elections: "The total vote this year is 87.877.1n 187G it was 152,G82,0f which Hayes had over 91, -000 and Tildenover 90,000. In 1880 it was 170,95., of wfeich Garfield had over 58,000 and Hancock over 112,000. In 1878 Wade Hampton ran for govern or without an opposing candidate and polled over 119,000 votes. Between 1876 and 1832, then, the total vote has fal len off over one-half, or nearly 95,000 votes. Between 1880 and 1882 it'has fallen off over 82.000 votes. But according to the census of 1880 there are 205,739 "voters in the state, only 87,877 of whom voted at the last election, or rather succeeded in having their votes counted. The number of votes missing is 117,912. Of the 87.877 votes counted this year the Bourbons claim a majority of 49..35. That makes the Bour bon vote 07,158, and the anti-Bourbon 17, -719. It will be seen that the Bourbon to tal is just about a third of the voting pop ulation given in the census." A registration law has been established or devised so as to operate in the direction of the suppression cf votes by the multi plied difficulties of complying with its le quirements on the part of ignorant voters. Hence the number registered falls far be low the actual number of voters in the state. The number of voters registered was in i round numbers 150,000, and yet the vote cast was 02,000 less than the number regis tered. This is significant. The real anti-Bourbon majority in the state is 40,000. Yet this is wiped out, and the Bourbons claim a majority of some 50,000 in the late election. This result is not only due to the registration law, but ! still more largely to ballot box stuf fing, bulldozing and false counting. By means tho most deliberately fraud ulent the Bourbons rule the state. They designedly and systematically cheat, determined to rule at all hazards, and they do rule. An election under such circumstances is a mere farce; the registration too is a cheat and a snare; and the boasted elective franchise a nullity. Suffrage has lost its fame. Why should an anti-Bourbon care to meet intimidation, bulldozing, ballot box stuffing, false counting, in cheating registration, in order to cast his vote ? | The Bourbon candidates are sure to be declared elected, no matter what the ac tual majority may be against them. In no other portion of the Union but in the South, could such infamous, outrageous, deliberate election frauds succeed; and how long shall this be permitted to succeed This is a matter that far transcends in magnitude and importance any mere party consideration. In a free, elective government, the very vital, energizing spirit and principle of its institutions is, that majorities should rule. This princi ple is reversed in South Carolina, and tho destructive principle that a minority shall rule is substituted. Will this gigantic, open, unblushing system of fraud aud cheating in elections ever cease, so as to cure itself? If not. some mode for its suppression must be devised, for every elector is c institutionally entitled j to protection in the enjoyment of his free, electoral franchise, and that protection must be secured, or elections are but a j shootiug,anarchical, lawless, manifestation of mob rule. WHY FOSTER FAILED. Another Reason "Why Ohio's Governor Committed His Great Prohibition Faux Fa—The Blame L*i*l at the Door of Gov. St. .John, of Kansas. [Special Telegram to the Globe. ! New Yobk, Dec. 11. —The Republicans have not yet ceased endeavoring to explain bow they came to be so badly beaten in the late election. . An energetic political professor who has just arrived from Cleve land, says the tidal wave in his state was occasioned by a mere bit of sentimenjt. Ohio, he says, is an out and out Republi can state, and will be so counted in the next presidential election. The defeat of last fall came from Charley Foster having been bitten and badly poisoned by the rabid governor, St. • John, of Kansas. St. John visited Ohio before the campain and told Foster what a great triumph mor ality had had in Kansas. Foster's imagi nation became fired. For several years he has been laboring under tho delusion of a possible nomination for the vice pres idency. After St. John's visit he saw a chance for the presidency. He was going to inaugurate a great reform in the Re publican party, purify it, ana then, when successful in his own state, the nation would demand that their Ohio governor be called to the front, when Foster would take possession of the White house, and proceed to make his local reforms national. In pursuance of this beautiful thought, Foster got out a piece of paper and did some figuring. The prohibition people in Ohio for a number of years have cast about 15,000 votes. Foster calculated that a temperance programme would lose the Republican party in his state 15,000 ''dutch" votes, as he called them. He con sulted with the prohibition people, and this party of "moral drunkards" gave an enthusiastic . consent to his scheme. According to this same authority he . then proceeded to bite the legislature and inflict them with his madness. The result was first, the Pond law, which was immediate ly declared unconstitutional, and then the Smith law, an even more odious measure. The storm of indignation that ran through state was to swamp Foster and the state was enough to swamp Foster and 1 his ambitious. The Cleveland professor ! says he has no doubt, but what 1 the , "spanked buffoons" of the • Ohio legislature will try this winter to re- I peal the Smith law. The Germans, now I satisfied that they can have their beer free : and undisturbed whenever they want it, ! will no longer remain together, but will . separate for the purpose of fighting out , old religious differences. Tho Protestant Germans, next to free beer, desire the downfall of the Roman Catholic church, while the feeling upon the part of the Catholics towards the Protestant element of, German society in Ohio is equally ag gressive.

Sib- I ley, president, occupied the chair, while j most of the old and active members were in attendance. MEMOIB Or ALEX. EABIBAUET. Gen. Sibley made tho following an nouncement of the death of one of the oldest pioneers of tho state: Gentlemen of the Executive Council: On the 28 th of last month, at 2 o'clock p. m~, Alexander Faribault, the oldest settler in Minnesota, departed this life at the nourishing city of which he was the found er, and which bear? his honored name. He was born in Prairie dv Chien, Wis., in 180G, and had attained the ripe age of seventy-six at the time of his decease. Mr. Faribault was the oldest son of Jean Baptiste Faribault, of whom a memoir has been published in the collections of the society. Mr. Faribault, Sr_, removed his family from Prairie dv Chien to the vicinity of Fort Spelling in the year; 1820, so that his son Alexander was a continuous resident of what is now the state of Min nesota, for sixty-two years. I had been in timate with him from the time of my own advent to this region in 1834. His business connection with me as my clerk, and subsequently,. as a trader with the Sioux Indians on his own account, extended through a period of a quarter of a century. He was my constant com panion in my annual hunting excursions for buffalo, elk, deer, bear and other wiid animals, sometimes in company with bands of Indians, but more frequently at tended by but two or three Canadian voy agers, in charge "of horse carts for the transportation of camp equipage and oth er impedisiienta. The adventures incident to this mode of life were exciting, and at tended with more or less danger from wild beasts, and from roving parties of Indians who were at war with tha Dakota or Sioux bands. The country we frequented was the battle ground of the hostile tribes, and war parlies of savages were by no means inspectors of persons. Long companionship amid such perils bring men closely together, and tends to develop their several characteristics more prominently, titan would years of ordinary ! acquaintance. My friend was a cool, self possessed, brave man. who could be relied upon with perfect confidence in any emer gency that might arise. Mr. Faribault bad made the best use of the limited opportunities for education of fected him in his youth, and being natur ally observant, and quick of apprehension, he proved himself a most interesting as sociate. He was a devoted member of the Catholic church, and an upright and pub lic spirited citizen. His influence with the Dakota bands, especially those to whom he sustained the relation of trader, was almost without limit. "• The moderate fortune he had at one time accumulated by years of honest labor, was mostly spent in minis tering to the wants of this wretched race, in whose welfare he manifested a pro found interest to the end of his life. Busi ness misfortanas also overtook him in, his latter years, and reduced him to absolute poverty, but he retained to the last the esteem and respect of a large' circle of friends, including the entire community of which he was the pioneer and founder, and his death was mourned by all as a public calamity. I have deemed it proper to thus briefly notice the demise of one who i has played no unimportant part in the early history of Minnesota, and respectfully to suggest that a memoir of this worthy man be pre pared by the committee on obituaries, of the society, for publication in its col lections. I take this occasion also to announce the death of another old and prominent citi zen, Major John Kennedy, of Hastings, in, D___otaj_oanty,who died on the first of this month, after a long and painful illness. Major Kennedy came to this region from Canada, iv the year 18*53, and was em ployed by me at Mendota as clerk and bookkeeper. He subsequently removed to I Hastings, was elected register of deeds and ! county auditor successively. He joined the Seventh regiment, Minnesota volun teers, and was chosen captain of a com pany, in which capacity he served with credit during the campaigns against the hostile Sioux,af forth* outbreak of 18-2-63 and in the South, where the regiment greatly distinguished itself. Captain Ken nedy was breveted major for gallant con duct. Several years since he was appointed postmaster at Hastings, which position he held during his life. The major was a genial, hospitable gentleman, and a most useful citizen. The poor will lose in him a sympathetic and active friend. The thanks of the society were returned to Gen. S. for the above interesting sketch. ' A BEMINISCHNOE OP T BE INDIAN WAR. Capt. Edwin Bell, a pioneer steamboat man of this region, contributed the fol lowing incidents of the Indian outbreak of 1882: It was on a sultry afternoon in August, 186*_,tho 19th,)when the steamer Pomeroy, a Minnesota river packet, landed at Fort Saelling. Two armed soldiers were await ing us at tha levee. As we made fast to a post one of them placed his foot on the line and the other stepped on the boat. I descended to tho boiler deck, when he asked if I was tho captain. On receiving an affirmative answer, he said: "You are wanted at the fort at ones." I asked: "For what ?" He replied: "My orders are to bring yon to the fort at "once."' So I ac companied my captor up the st9ep road, but not without wondering what I .'could have done to subject me to such summary military arrest. When wo ar rived at the office I was met by Capt. Arnold, who said: "Capt. Bell, they are waiting very anxiously for you in the next room."' I knocked at the door, and when it was opened I th.re saw Gov. Ramsey and ex-Gov. Sibley. Thoy hurriedly in formed me that the Indians at Bed Wood agency had risen, and were murdering the . settlers and burning everything before them. "We want yoa," they said, "to make a quick trip to St. Paul, to get a load of gnus and- ammunition, and return as quickly as possible." While the necessary requisitions were being prepared I sent word to the engineer of the boat to have steam up, as I wanted to make a quick run to St. Paul. A detail of men was sent * with me to help ' load the boat. We made the run down in a few minutes. Immediately on arriving at the levee here, I sent for Merrill Ryder, proprietor of the powder magazine, and gave him my or ders to have the ' ' AMMUNITION DELIVEBEO at the boat at one.. I also sent to Mr. Ahira Richardson, keeper of the : arsenel, and ! gave him the requisition for the arms and j equipmer r._.dr*.l. I remained at the* arsenal ey: d boors while the guns, etc., I were being packed, and until the last load ; was being shipped. ' The ammunition was I already stored on the boat. The boxes of j guns were hurriedly piled up on the am- | munition, and without delay we started ! for the fort.- This work, however, had con- I sumed nearly the whole night. I arranged ! with Col. Sibley (for he had just been given : that rank) that when we - arrived at Mendota island, we would blow the whistle, to give him time to' meet U3 at the land ing, which he did. As soon as our gang plank Wsi- out the troops were ready and I marched aboard, and we started up stream I without delay, It was now daylight. As I soon as we arrived at Shakopee, which was ] about Bor 9 o'clock a. m., we commenced { to unload. All the soldiers except a few went ashore. The rest we carried farther up the river. When we landed at Carver a sight which I hope never to see again greeted, us. Men, women and children were crowded on the bank of the river, many of them in their night clothes, just as they had hurriedly fled from their homes, on receiving the dread news that "the Indians were coming!" Some had come from Glencoe, and other points back of Henderson and Carver. It was a strange scene. These panic-stricken refugees were 'overjoyed at the sight of the soldiers, and appeared much relieved to find that steps had been takea to protect them. We landed the balance of the sol diers at Little Rapids, and at once re turned to Shakopee. Here we found great excitement among the troops. It was found that the balls furnished were of too large a caliber for the old muskets! This was an unfortunate and awkward dilemma, certainly, and came at a time when every minute's delay increased the alarm and impatience of the people of the valley, whose live.-, and property were threatened by the horde of red de mons who were known to be devastating the settlements but a few miles distant, and perhaps pressing on towards the | towns in the lower valley. Some of the soldiers tried to pare down the balls, so as to adapt them to the bore of their.muskets, but of course this was tedious and unsatis factory work. A sadge was finally used, but this, too, was a slow way of supplying a military expedition with bullets ! There was, at lhe time, much discussion and fault-finding by the impatient people and journalists about this matter of unsuita ble - ammunition, and attempts were made to lay the blame upon this one and that —even upon the commander of the expedition, who certainly could not | have been responsible for it. The fact is, I it was "Hobson's choice." The real cause was, the state was not prepared to fit out any expedition at that time. Some of the guns issued were absolutely worthless and could not be discharged) The arsenal keeper shipped the only balls he had in store and all he had, and there was no op portunity to test their size before opening the cases at Shake-pee, bo that the censure of the authorities was entirely misplaced. I propose to contribute some notes of a rough trip to Camp Pope, with supplies for the expedition of L 863. On motion of Gov. Ramsey, the thank/-, of the society were extended to Capt. Bell for his timely contribution. THE PXOPOSSD building. Gen. Sibley stated that Wm. R. Merriam had subscribed (SOO towards the building fund, and that the amount secured was now $14,000. He said other citizens had as good as pledged generous amounts, and he thought the whole could bo raised soon. iIEHB-KS ELECTED. The following gentlemen were elected life members: Dr. James H. Dunn, Shak opee: Dr. D. W. Hand, Robert A. Smith, John Summers and Crawfor I Livingston, all of St. Paul. . . Some proposed amendments to the by laws were then debated at length, and oth er matters of business considered, but the above comprises most of the proceedings which will be of public interest. A PLAGCE SPOT. The To^n of Stanchfield, Isanti County, Overrun with Small-pox—Scores of Cases Discovered, Together With Many Deaths. I Special Telegram to trie Globe.] Rush Cm, Minn., Dec. 11.The small pox scare, in the town of Stand-field, about twelve miles west of here, has turned out to be the genuine article. It appears the dis ease lias not entirely died out since it origi nated in the family of Mr. P. Sun, last sum mer, and there has been .an occasional death during the fall, the disease being in a mild form. Some time since the family of L. Dahlman came down with it,' and, doctors being called, pronounced it small pox. It was then for the first time this fall definitely understood to be the genuine disease. The" town board of supervisors were notified, but took particular pains to deny it through the Isanti county paper. Doctors Cook, . of Cambridge, and Umblai.d. of Rush City, examined the cases and were satisfied, and informed the state board of health at St." Paul, and last Saturday Dr. E. J. Brown of Minneap olis was sent up to make an examination, and went, together with Dr. Umbland.inio the infested district, going from house to house, and their examination was com plete. As a result they find now twenty - six cases in nine families, and five late deaths, and those who have been exposed number over 100. r In fact the whole coun try has been exposed, and the disease has just begun to spread. Some houses where the doctors went the inmates denied the existence of any disease there, but upon examination they found members of the family sick With small-pox, and in two cases corpses in the houses. The inhabitants there are all Swedes, and claim the disease is not the small-pox, but what they term the black plague, and think it a visitation of the wrath of God, and -that the patient will either get well or die as the Lord wills. The town board of Stanchfield have made an attempt to quarantine the town to stop the spread of tho disease, but with what success remains to be seen. Roiling Mill Suspended. .. Chicago, Dec. 11.—The steel rail mill of the North Chicago rolling miii at South Chicago, a. very large concern, shut down to-day. It is understood to be^*»ar tially owing to the quiet state of the rail market, partly to doubt about; the tariff action of congress, and partly because no. definite schedule of wages for next year has been fixed. .-, The furnaces are still in operation. The shutting down of the mill owned by this company in West Chicago was announced some time ago. Works Closed. Philadklfhia- Dec. 11.—The large Riv erside rolling-mill at Triton, and the cot ; ton-mill at Newcastle, Del., closed Satur day for an indefinite period. Four hun dred hands . are out of employment. The mill closed on account of the dullness of the trade, and the employes of £ the cotton factory struck against a reduction of wages. * ■ ■ Swindlers 'Abroad. • If any one has represented that we are in any way interested in any bogus bitters or stuff with . the word "Hops" in their name, cheating hon est folk*?, or that wa will pay any of their bills ! or dabta, they are frauds aid swindlers aid the j victim*, should punish them.

[Special Telegram to the Glob?. ] Chicago, Dee. —The usual interest was manifested in tha Sturla trial this morning, and the customary anxiety on the part of the public to obtain admitanco to the court room was mani fested. There was no change in any of the circumstances attending the trial from previous days. The defendant occupied her accustomed place beside her counsel, and appeared brighter and more lively.and to take a greater interest in the proceed ings than at any time since the trial began. She did not keep her face so entirely en veloped in her veil as oh former occasions, and while Mrs. Robinson was on the stand she evinced a marked interest in her evi dence, and listened attentively to every word she said. Dr. Reeves Jackson was recalled, and in reply to Mr. Mills, re-as serted the opinion previously given that the defendant was medically and legally sane. Mrs. Mary M. Robinson of Council .Bluffs, la., testified that she was a sister of Mrs. E. B. Stiles. She came to Chicago, and bore a message to Theresa from Chas. Stiles, and delivered it to her. Witness stated that -he had letters from Charles Stiies saying that he had given defendant up, and wanted to vacate the rooms; that witness might occupy them as a boarding-house. Defendant said that if Charley ever attempted to give her up she would kill him. Also that she had $7,000 of Stiles" money. Dr. Hay testified that he had been a practising physician for twenty years. Had heard the hypothetical question of the prosecution, and the evidence showed that at the time of the murder defendant was sane. He could not form any opinion on the two hypothetical questions combined, because they contained irreconcilable statements. After some nnimporant testimony" the de fendant was then re-called and stated that while in jail she had refused to see Mrs. Robinson because she had insulted her at one time, Sho came to the house with Eugene Stiles. Jean tapped her on the chin, and said, "Little sister, you have got to leave now. You git, git!" Mrs. Rob inson said that if witness did not leave without trouble she would tell the landlord that she was not Charles Stiles' wife. Wit ness never told Mrs. Robinson that she had $7,000 of Charles Stiles' money. She never knew that he had £7,000. Mrs. Rob inson told her that Mrs. Stiles had driven her away from her, and she had no money. Witness gave her a $10 gold piece. She also gave her ay brown silk suit .and a silk jacket for her daughter. Charles Stiles had never given her any money oth er than about $100. Counsel on both sides announced that the had no more evidence to offer, and, after a consultation between them and the court as to the conduct of the argument, the court adjourned till 10 o'clock tomorrow, wh6n Mr. Mills will ad dress the jury. Mr. Trade will then reply j and then Mr. Mills will reply to him, after I which the couit will give the case to tho jury. WILL B___-_QI a brsxeby. ■ [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Milwaukee, Dec. 11.The true inward ness of the cause of Henry Gary's flight will probably never ba known. This morn ing a St. Paul official said: "We sh.dl not prosecute Cary, but will try to reform and make a man of him." Gary is still a pris oner at his own house and he is under ordors not to leave it. It is now said that jhe did not leave town with an abandoned woman, as has been charged. It is known that he has been keeping the company of disreputable people for some time and it is alleged that a disreputable widow who formerly lived here, aided and abetted by an enemy of Cary's, a well-known business man, has been systematically blackmailing the fellow. From the fact that he had been I keeping company with the class of people named, there was every opportunity in the world to levy blackmail. It is hinted that Cary has made a confession implicating a large number of persons, and that as soon as Merrill and the rest of the St. Paul offi cials get back there will be a lively old rat tling of dry bones. This confession does not make Cary's offense any tho less; it only implicates and identifies other parties with his disreputable doings. It is said Cary tells his friends that he was blackmailed by the disreputable widow, who went to Texas some time ago, until he was well nigh frenzied, and that he went to Texas determined to kill her. He intimated to a Globe reporter who interviewed him that the trouble he had with a Texas party was settled. What he meant by this is not known. If Cary has made a confession it will create a stir if the public ever got hold of it. _£_»£_ AN OE3CENE KDITOB. [Special Telegram to the Glob?. Chicago, D3C. 11.—Andrew J. Roddick, publisher of the La Salle Democrat, had a hearing before United States Commissioner Hoyne to day upon the charge of sending obscene publications through ths mails. Th. obscenity consisted of a highly sensa tional account of a bastardy suit, with se vere reflections upon the character of the young woman in tho case. .The informa tion upon which the charge was based, was furnished to District Attorney Leake by Postmaster Corba«, of La Salle.

ANOTHER OF BILL ALLEN'S VICTIMS. [Special Telegram to the Globe. Chicago, Dec. 11.—At the time of the shooting of Officer Patrick Mulvahill by the desperado, Bill Allen, the physicans in the case found half of the ball imbedded in the cavity over the left eye, and it was sup posed they had removed all that had en tered the wound. In view of this theory, it was announced that the wound was not dangerous and that the officer would soon be able to go on duty again. These hopes, however, have been dispelled by the con dition of Officer Mulvahill during the last two or three days. Instead of healing the wound has continued to swell and grow worse and the wounded man has suffered intense paid. Yesterday Drs. Lee and Tenger performed a second operation, and made the startling discov ery that the skull whs fractured. Two piece?, of the splintered hall were found immediately back of the eye bail, and two pieces of bone were extracted at the same time. ' Th 9 condition of the wounded offi cer is very critical, and no one is permitted to see hi m. He still reins conscious ness, but slight hopes are now entertained of his recovery. The inquest on the body of Clarence E. Wright, the office killed by Biil Allen on the night of Not. 2d, developed nothing new regarding the tragedy. The jury re turned a verdict in accordance with the facts. At the inquest on the body of Bill Allen, the verdict was that ho came to his death fron a gun shot wound at the hands of Officers John Wheeler and John Reid in the discharge of their duty, and exonerated the officers from all blame. William James, the car porter, who first fell under a blow from Allen, died at the County hospital Saturday, from the effects of Allen's blow. A ROTTEN DETECTIVE FORCE.
