Fay of Sl.ooo. The extent of Smith’s forgeries is estimated at $350,000. They might have continued indefinitely if Stock Clerk Watson had not discovered that the figures in a certificate turned in by Smith on Saturday had been raised. An investigation followed and showed that Smith had purchased but seven shares instead of 70, as appeared on the face of the certificate. This led to an over hauling of the books of the firm, and then all came to light.

Troops in adequate num bers have been stationed at points of threatened trouble and Gen. Roger's visit has had a salutary effect upon the Indians. His Wife ami Cash Gone.

THE JURY IN THE O’SHEA DIVORCE CASE RENDERS A VERDICT Which Convicts Parnell and Mrs. O’Shea of Adul tery and Grants a Divorce to the Injured Hus band—Parnell's Political Career Blighted, If It Is Not Ended. London, November 17.—The trial of tin: O’Shea divorce ease was resumed in the divorce court this morning before Justice Putt and the special jury. The petitioner presented further evidence to prove the charges lie makes against his wife and Mr. l’arnell. The first witness called was a servant who had worked at the O'Shea residence at Eltliam at the time of Capt. O’Shea charges that Mr. Parnell was paying clandestine visits to his wife. She testified that Mrs. O’Shea and Parnell were on one occasion locked in the drawing room. Mrs. O'Shea af terward explained that the locking of the door was essential to the safety of Mr. Parnell, as a number of members of secret societies were prowling about the vicinity. She also told the witnesses to deny that Parnell visited the house. Another servant testified that Mrs. O’Shea and Parnell were locked to gether in a room until after midnight. A coachman who was formerly in the employ of Mrs. O’Shea, testified to driv ing Parnell from tho Eltliam station to Mrs. O’Shea’s residence after midnight, lie'afterward took Parnell’s horses to Eastbourne. An ex-page testified that he had lived in the service of Mr. O'Shea at East bourne. Parnell lived in the same house. Other witnesses testified that Katie O’Shea (Mrs. O’Shea) took the Eastbourne house and paid the rent with chocks signed Katie O'Shea. Par nell resided there and also at the house in Regent’s Park which Mrs. O'Shea also rented. Mrs. Steele, sister of Mrs. O’Shea, whom the latter charged with adultery with Captain O’Shea, denied the charges made against her. One of the jurymen insisted that the petitioner be cross-ex amined on the counter charges made by his wife. The petitioner was recalled. Tie testified that he lived apart from his wife at her express desire. He denied the charge of cruelty against him, and said he had always treated his wife with kindness. He had invited Parnell to dine at his house after chal lenging him to light a duel because he had been convinced that his suspicions regarding his wife and Parnell were baseless. He had last lived with his wife at Brighton in 18S0. In summing up the evidence to the jury, Justice Butt dwelt upon the charge of connivance made by Mrs. O’Shea, and asked why the necessity for all the disguise resorted to by Par nell if the petitioner had connived at his wife’s infidelity. This closed the evidence, and as neither the respondent nor co-respon dent made any defence, the case was given to the jury, who returned a ver dict that adultery had been committed by Mrs. O’Shea and Parnell, and that there had been no connivance on the part of Capt. O’Shea, The court granted a decree of divorce with costs to the petitioner, and also awarded him the custody of the young children. Parnell’s Obituary. London, November 17.—Tin? Dully Telegraph publishes Pirnell’s political obituary. It says he must cease for the present at least to lead the Nationalist party. The provincial newspapers join in a chorus of denunciation of Mr. Parnell. The Dundee AilrcrlUier (Gladstonian) says that the spectacle of Parnell’s sneaking out of back doors, and sliding down tire escapes is contemptible and pitiable, and that he ought for a time retire to private life, as the Liberal party will prevent any attempt to brazen it out. Gladstonian papers in many cases advise temporary self-effacement. The London Daily Chronicle says: “It is deplorable that he should have wrecked his career and destroyed his public usefulness merely to gratify a guilty passion. How can Catholic Ire Tand retain such a leader? The middle class electors in England will certainly resist any appeal, even by Mr. Glad stone, to support the party led by Par nell.’’ The Daily Sens says: The l nfonists appear to hope that the discredit that has deservedly fallen on Parnell will cling to the Irish party and the Irish cause. But political principles and parties are independent of accidents to individual leadership. Even should the present leader step aside, there are others who will take his place. The an ticipation of damage to the Homo-rule cause will be disappointed. It is reported that the followers of Mr. Parnell do not desire him to retire unless by his own volition, in which case the leadership of the Irish party will be vested in a commission of which Mr. Justin McCarthy will be president. •lury Couldn't Agree.

Three Men Instantly Killed and Five Others Badly Mingled—Building Wrecked—Force of the Explosion Felt Five Miles Distant—The Dead Bodies Horribly Mangled. Rkadino, I’a., November 17.—A ter-, rible accident took place at Mertztown, this comity, at 7 o’clock this morning, which resulted in the death of three men and the serious injury of live others.

Winchester, Ky., November 17.— All the Perry county warriors, to the number of twenty-eight, have been ad mitted to bail, and have gone home, ex cept four—Thomas Smith, Bob Profit, Henry Fugate and Benton Brashears. The first is considered the worst man in the whole lot. He is said to have killed several men during the fend, but the foulest murder during tin whole war was that of young Nick Combs. On April* 15, 1888, Joe Kver solc, the original leader of the faction by that name, was riding through tin woods about five miles from Hazard, In company with Nick Combs, a boy who had no connection with either faction. Tom Smith and others had pre pared au ambush for the pur pose of killing* Evcrsole, but when he reached the latter, the spot selected by his murderers, young Combs was oil the side next the murderers, and it was found necessary- cither to kill Combs or let Evcrsolc escape. It was resolved to kill both. Eversole fell dead at the first lire, with a bullet through his brain and another through the spinal cord. Young Combs was desperately wounded; and fell from his horse. As he saw Smith approaching lie begged piteously to lie spared, lint with the remark that dead men tell no tales, Smith took the pistol of the fallen lad and shot him sev eral times in the face, killing him at once. Since being Incarcerated in jail here Smith’s ln-alth has failed and the prison authorities say he will not live long. Each night in his dreams he sees the murdered lad and his screams can be heard outside the prison walls. The attorneys for the State are not satisfied with the verdict acquitting Joe Davidson and have taken an appeal to the Court of Appeals. The constitu tionality of the statute by which the prisoners were tranfserred from Perry county to this place, which was decided by Judge Morton to be constitu tional, is one of the chief points at Issue. Tills is the first case tried under the law allowing criminals to be sent from a county where anarchy and lawlessness prevail to sueli an ex tent as to prevent tin- enforcement of the laws to another where justice can be administered without military pro tection. As this question is one of vital importance to many of the mountain counties the decision of the Court of Appeals will be awaited with much in terest. __ DENIED FROM THE PULPIT. Dr. I'm ton Dill Not Receive *100.000 -Ills AIIunion to McAllister'. Hook. New York, November 17.—The West Presbyterian Church In Forty-second street was crowded to the doors yester day morning. Before the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Pax ton, began the sermon be said that lie wished publicly to correct a false state ment that had been circulated for some time, that he had been the recipient of $100,000 as a gift from a millionaire. This statement, he said, had caused him to be solicited for every sort of charity by people even in distant partsof the country. He bad even received one letter from California, asking for aid to the extent of 810,000. The statement about bis receiving the gift was false, and he wanted the Jio nailed once and for all. Dr. Paxton’s sermon had a special in terest. in that it was advertised to con tain an allusion to Wanl McAllister's book. He said, In part: “Too many of us devote our whole attention to seeing who can help us, blit the- true i hristiaii seeks to see whom he can help. When a mail thinks only of himself he soon ! begins to esteem himself highly. | and just as his own estimation increases, j lie falls lower and lower in the estimate j of others. He finally reaches a level where he is no longer thinking seri-. ously. It is a mistake to believe people ! will take you at your own level. If this t were so, many of the most ordinary men would tie great. The world fixes l our level and determines cur position in every calling of life. “ ‘Oh, that mine enemy would write a book’ and tell me the proper method to follow when I want to avoid meeting an old friend because his coat is a little shabby and out of style, Tims would mine enemy prove himself a monstrous ass, deserving of nothing but the con tempt of decent people.

November 17.—Much excitement has oeen occasioned in this city by the recent runaway of two young ladies of Keokuk. One of them i* Miss Maxwell, a handsome young daugh ter of Mr. John Maxwell, one .»f Keokuk’s most prominent lawyers; the other was a lady tele graph operator named Iteulah Klcpper, who engineered the caper. They left for Texas and no one could hear of their whereabouts. Telegrams were sent in ail directions, and Miss Kleppcr heard one of the dispatches going (Tver the wire and thus eluded pursuit. The two girls were captured, however, at Bell, Texas, by Mr. Maxwell and brought back to the city. They will give no explanation. Ilat Factories Close Down. Damu'iiy, Conn.. November 1*.

Koeh. in Berlin, twelve years ago, meeting him frequently In his practice. Dr. Koch was then a man of intellectual appearance and a dilligent student. Some four years later ho discovered the germs which caused the phthisis; and became connected with the University. To a reporter Dr. Schwinn said: “It Is altogether too early to predict the success or failure of Koch's experi ments for the cure of consumption, and although I see that Koch has again pub lished a statement bearing upon his work we are no wiser than before, barr ing Koch’s statement that lie is meeting with success, and will finally attain the results he started out to accomplish. He has not, as yet, even in his last pa per. told what lie was doing, or given any Intimation of the character of the remedy lie proposes." DIE. .1. U. KICKS. “Statements coming from Dr. Koch are as much entitled to credence as from any physician in the world. If I felt able I should like to board a vessel and go to Berlin and watch the devel opments. The discovery is not an acci dent, but is based upon scientific re search. If it is a success, it will prove of greater magnitude than any medical discovery ever made. It will outrank and be far more reaching in its beneficial influence than the discoveries of Pas teur, Harvey, Hunter, Jenncr or Lister. Dr. Koch's experiments so far have proven beyond a doubt thut the lymph will cure external tuberculosis. If it does all that is claimed for it, it will prove a great boon to humanity. The , entire secret lies in the composition of the lymph, and, until a quantity of it i> received here and experimented with, we can tell nothing of its effects. The theory of saturating the system and de stroying the bacilli is of tlm same na ture as is used in hydrophobia and small pox." Illl. K. C. MKYKIts, ] believe we are on the eve o! one of the greatest discoveries the world lias ever known. I think the remedy as proposed by Dr. Koch will be success ful in arresting the incipient stages of consumption, but just what the fluid is 1 don’t think anyone can tell yet. I have an Idea of what it is likely to be com posed of, hilt still it will be largely guesswork just now. I believe the dread disease can be cured, hut only in the early stages, from the fact that in the more advanced condition we have not only germs to contend w ith, hut also broken down tissues, which I do not believe any remedy can counteract, i have groat faitli in the new discovery, and believe that it will lie a great boon to mankind. s. i.. niticK. "If it proves a success, Dr. Koch’s discovery is one of tin* most wonderful ever made, surpassing those of .leaner and Pasteur, for the simple reason that there are a hundred eases of consump tion to one of smallpox, or hydrophobia. Experiments will soon tell whether the treatment shall prove as effectual as lias been claimed for it.” l>U. JOUX If. IMI'Ks. "Dr. Koch’s theory is certainly a ra tional one, the same as inoculation for smallpox, and 1 only hope it will prove a success. I trust it will not turn out like the Itrown-Sequard elixir. I have great faith in Dr. Koch, who is one of the most eminent men in the profession. If the discovery Droves a success, it wlU prove a great boon to humanity.” lift. l.liONAlt!) KjKKV. "Consumption is tho most destructive disease known, and if the discovery ever approaches what is claimed for It. ft will be a great blessing to mankind. <>n account of tin* high rank which Dr. Koch holds on the medical world, I an ticipate a great deal of good to the pro fession from the discovery. We can only await further developments." ltu. JOII.V A. f.VMI'IIKI.I.. "I know only what I have read in the newspapers and medical journals, and I place my faith in the latter, rather than the former. There is danger in an nouncing such an important discovery for the treatment of a disease, which has so long delied the medical profession. The information which has been furn ished so far by Dr. Koch is only food for the curious, one peculiar fael is that he does not, like Pasteur, and Itrown Sequard reveal the secret of the lymph. While I have a good opinion of Dr. Kook, than w hom none stands higher In the medical profession, still I am dubi ous about the success of the experi ments. At best, it will take some time to determine whether the Inoculation will effect a permanent cure in cases of phthisis. If I am wrong in my opinion, none will rejoice more than I to know It." hi:, ii. (. bicaxxkx. "it is a little premature to say any tiiitig about Dr. Koch's alleged dis covery. However, I believe Duplicity in Dr. Koch, as a scientific man. lie i> very cautious, and the probability is that his discovery is much more valua ble that he claims, lie i- one of tin great men of the profc--ion, and would , give nothing to the world ffntil satis-. lied that lie bad aeeomplislied something. When we consider the largo proportion of deaths from diseases of a tuberculous character, we can realize the Import- ; ance of the discovery. External tuber culosis, which he has proven by expert-, merit, that the lymph will cure, take in a wider field than the general public , suppose. 11 Is generally accepted as a fact that all strumous diseases aro of a tuberculous eh.iracter. "What Dr. Koch wants i- a multiplic ity of cases, so that he can better de termine tlie r. -iills of his Inoculation. It would be t> his interest to send the lymph to a hospital, for the special con sideration of diseases of this character, such as we have in Philadelphia. The subject should receive a thorough test at the hands of competent physicians.” i»u. s. i„ jh’son, “I look with a good deal of favor upon the new discovery, and am in clined to believe that there is consider able weight attached to it. 'ihe fact that consumption can be cured lias lieen demonstrated in more Instances than one. Post mortem examinations attest the fact that the disease has been cured from the oceaslonai finding of cavities in the lungs that are healed. The al ready great attainments of Dr. Koch, a i;1! bis eminence as a scholar certainly entitle him to a good deal of recognition and he appears to be getting it. I have no idea of what this fluid is composed, buPsuppbse there are certain counteract ing poisons in its make-up. ’ Dlt. ||. II. IJIT.I.AUU. “It is really a great discovery. This is the outcome of long years of study, and Dr. Koch’s work for some years lias been right In the line of bacteolo gy, consequently we know that what ever of merit tln re is in the remedy is no guess work, but merit that Is solidly based. I believe the new discovery will eventually be figind to be all that it is claimed to lx1." rilltlSTlAX F. MIIXKPK. “Have watched the discussion with a good deal of Interest.
