j B IT SIRJAIIIES? |
Will Tapper Succeed Injudicious
Minister West?
NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW,
Secretary Huynril Xu Until* > to State —I*
b Now Asserted that Our Govern
ment Has Not Demanded the
Iteeall of Lord Sackville.
New York, Oct* 31.— The Mail and Ex- I
press' Washington sjiecial says; Mr. Bayard
says that he has not heard of Sir Charles
Tupper’( ap|x>intment to suceced Lord Sack
vilie sax 1 ® through the press. It can now t*e,
stated on
Pheljis by the state
d<>l>ai tment con- .
copies of the corre- I
Minister West and
SIR CHAULES TUPPER. the
statements made to
The Press by Secretary Bayard and the pub- ,
lished statements of Lord Sackvllle since the I
publication of tho corn spoudenoe. Both the j
president and Secretary Bayard confidently i
, expect that Lord Salisbury will see the true j
nature of the breach of internal ional courtesy
, which the English minister has committed
and recall him. If this is not done within a j
reasonable time tho administration will con- :
aider what next must be done, and from what j
Secretary Bayard has said from time to time I
it is not uulikely Lord Saekvillo will be in
formed that ho w’ill no longer be recognized
as the representative of her majesty.
There has been at no time since this con
troversy commenced the slightest authority
for saying that tho stato department had i
asked for the recall of tho minister.
London, Oct. 30.—The Standard believes
that Lord Sackville West has intimated his
readiness to resign.
New York, Oct. 31.—The World's Potts
ville (Pa.) special says that it is believed there j
that a brother of Samuel A. Garrett, a weU i
known politician who recently moved from
Los Angeles to Pomona, is the writer of the
“Murchison” letter. The brother referred to
J is supposed to be editor of a Los Angeles (
paper. Samuel A. Garrett was for fifteen j
years prominent in the Republican party at j
Pottsville and one of Chairman Quay’s |
■ trusted friends.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 81. —Mr. Patrick Egan j
| has arrived at his home in this city. Iu an
j interview ho denies the authorship of tho
“Murchison” letter, and says he knew nothing
| about the letter until he saw it printed in
New York.
Philadelphia, Oct. 31.—The Times pub
; lishes an article in support of the theory that
I Lawyer Wiliiam P. Snyder, of this city, is
; the author of the Murchison letter, but the
j article did not. get’ beyond the province of
| surmise
New York, Oct. 81.—A dispatch from j
Ithaca, N. Y., shya that a well known gen
; tleman of that city Ls of the opinion that tho j
; author of the Murchison letter is a certain
ex-postmaster, a strong Republican partisan,
who, about the alleged date of the letter,
was in active correspondence with Gen, Har
rison and a certain Republican editor in
California.
Chicago, Oct 31.—A circular has been
issued by the British-American Association
of the United States addressed to the citizens ;
of the United States in regard to “the mis
understanding that seems to exist in refer
ence to the relation of the naturalized British
citizens of the United States to the great
political parties of America.”
They say they have no stronger liking for
one party than the other, and “believe that
any attempt to make it appear otherwise is
particularly unfortunate and harmful to the
best interests, of the United States, and ’
should fiowhere receive countenance or sup
port. Certainly it should not be allowed to
gotern the political action or excite the
prejudice of hottest or patriotic men.”
Montreal, Oct. ,31. —The publication of
the appointment of Sir Charles Tupper as
Minister West’s successor made a sensation
here.
Sir John Macdonald was. asked as to the
truth of the announcement, but declined to
discuss it, saying he wished to keep clear of
the Sacktille incident He added, however,
that perhaps he will say something about
Sir Charles’-appointment before long.
Washington, Oct. ; 31.—Mr. West, the
i chief of the corps of postoffice inspectors, was
asked, if any steps hfive been taken by the de
partment officials to investigate the circum
; stances in connection with the mailing and
; delivery of the now famous “Murchison”
letter.
He says the department has taken no ac
tion in the matter, and. it is not probable
that, it wilj, There sure several postal stations
in Los Angeles, Cal, and it would be almost
impossible to discover the person who called
; and received Lord Saelsrille’s reply,
i Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 3L—The rumor that
Sir Charles Tupper was to be appointed sue- {
cessor to Sackville West was started by an
evening paper here and obtains no credence
in official quarters. A government officer
this morning stated that Great Britain is not
accustomed' to select her ministers to first
rate powers "from among her colonial subjects
and is pot lively to establish any such pre
cedent. ‘
Alleged Dynamiters Discharged.
CmcAGb, Oct. 31.—Justice Hamburget
has discharged Julius Kaseberg, Petra 1 D.
Tompkins, Thomas Nicholson and John
Magee, the alleged dynamiters, on the charge
of unlawfully handling dynamite. The con
spiracy case was then taken up and evidence
i was heard upon that. The decision knock?

) One Man Killed and Ten Terribly In
jured by the Collapse of an
Iron Truss Bridge.
Dvqcoin, Ilia, Got. 31. A report has
reached this city of the sudden collapse of
j the large Howe iron truss county bridge near
BlairsviUe, sixteen miles south of here. The
bridge was ITO feet in the clear and forty
eight feet above high water, the one spar
reaching clear across Big Muddy river.
A gang of i&en were at work repairing tht
flooring, and an order was given one of them
o loosen a girder a fraction of an inch. The
girder wat one of the main supports, and ona
turn of the wrench swung the bridge out of
plumb, and without a moment's warning the
vast mass dropped to the water, fifty feel
below.
William’ Thompson was instantly killed
and ten others fatally or seriously iujurod.
The injured are:
W. H. Mcßay, broken collar bone.
Arthur Mcßhea. jaw broken and hurt iuterually.
James Campbell, left leg broken, one eye
knocked out and head crushed. He will die.
D.‘ Maffela, both arms broken and left sid
crushed.
John Edmunds, hack broken and dangerous in
terual injuries. He cannot recover.
Thomas Robinson, one arm broken and bally
crushed.
Miles Harris, broken arm.
Frank Leech, fingers of one band cut off.
Theodore Harris, both hips broken.
Au unknown man Ijadly crushed.
A valuable team of horses was killed.
The bridge was built in 18<0 and cost $0,500. j
Dtt. THOMPSON’S PREDICAMENT.
He Says He Is a Victim of an Unappreci
ative World.
Boston, Oct. 31.—Dr. Augustus Thomp
son writes to The Boston Herald that whild
he has cut a ridiculous figure in the matter of
the suit brought against him by Mrs. Boa It
for alienating her husband’s affections he hat
not been a criminal
He has been, he says, too generous anc
sympathetic for his own interests, and hat
probably given away half a dozen fortunes.
Some of his benefactions went to persons who
proved unworthy; some to honest people,
from whom he can show grateful letters. On
learning that his efforts for Mrs. Beals’ good
had been thrown away* ho went to his wif<
and intimate friends with the facts in th<
case.
His family does not believe he means to dc
wrong.
He denies getting $ 100,000 income out of
“Moxie,” having sold his interest some time
ago. He wiU contest to the bitter end the
verdict of $30,000 damages against him.
He Wants the Lynchers Punished.
Cheyenne, Wy. T., Oct. 31.—News haa
reached here that a coroner’s jury is stiU In
vestigating the lynching of Adams an-)
“Dutchie,” who were hanged near Snake
river, Carbon county, last week, by masked
men. During the inquiry it has been learued
that “Dutchie’s” name was Charles Lutzier.
Robert Mclntosh, an old timer in that
region, has notified the governor of Wy
oming of the occurrence, and urges
that the lynchers be punished. He
says the hanging of the men was a brutal,
cowardly and outrageous murder. While
guilty of burning old Findlay’s smaU hay
stack, their taking off was due to the fact
that they possessed considerable cash. Mc-
Intosh thinks that less than half a dozen men
were concerned in the lynching, and a clew
lias been obtained that it is believed will lead
to the identification of all of them. Adams
was a veteran, and came from Illinois, where
he has a brother and sister and an aged
mother. In examining his effects it was
learned that he was soon to come into pos
session of a legacy valued at $40,000.
Disastrous Landslide in Canada.
Montreal, Oct. 31. —The new landslide on
the Cornwall canal on Saturday will cause
heavy loss, shippers having built on tho
promise that the old break would be com
pleted so that grain laden vessels could de
liver their cargoes by Tuesday at the latest.
A gentleman acquainted with such matters,
who has just returned from the break, says
the work is being conducted in slipshod fash
■ ion and is further back than it was a week
ago, which, together with tho new break,
practically means the close of inland naviga
tion for this season. A million bushels of
grain, which had been kept waiting for re
pairs, must now come down by rail at an
added cost of 4 cents per bushel. Besides
thiaseveral large factories on the canal using
water power have had to shut down, causing
much distress among working people.
Three Men Killed.
Lima, 0.-, Oct 31.—An explosion of natur

killed John Schultheis, Peter Kline and
Joseph Hubbard. Schultheis was horrlblj

New York, Oct. :?1. —The case of tho lav
firm Shipman, Barlow, Larocque * Choat*
v& the Bank of the State of Now York, cam*
tip by adjournment in Supreme Court, Cham
hers. William Allan Butler appeared for tlw
and conducted the cross examination.
Bedell was brought Into court by Kecjiei
I Frank Smith, of the Tomlis, to whom he wai
securely handcuffed. The forger was as sdl
possessed as ever, although a trifle pale
Durtng the examination he held in liis hand:
tho stenographer’s report of the previout
hearing, to which he frequently referred
Charles Bedell, the brother of the witness
was the only friend ho seemed to have ii
j court.
The interests of Messrs. Shipman, Barlow
Larocque, & Choate wore cared for by Mr. S
Clarke, representing Klihu Root, who wni
engaged in the Stewart will case, Mr. Butler’i
1 line of cross examination was to show by tin
witness that his employes were not familial
with the details or the methods of obtaining
certain checks for supposed valid mortgagee
To accomplish this Mr. Butler drew frott
the witness a history of each of the twenty
seven forged checks, commencing with thi
one for $63,000 of Henry D. Sayre, wherebj
a loan was effected from tho Germania Lift
Insurance company on q piece of property it
Fifty-seventh street A bogus mortgage foi
£■25,000 was obtained by forgery on this samt
property from the Farmers’ Loan and Trust
! company.
“Who wrote the names of Heory D. Sayn
and Mary L. Sayre on their mortgages!” in
quired Mr. Butler.
“I did,” responded Bedell, in a low void
and with bowed head.
The witness admitted that ho had endeav-
I ored to imitate the handwriting of both Sayn
and his wife. He had seen their signature oi
| genuine mortgages. #
In this manner mortgage after mortgagi
| was gone through with, Bedell each time con
fessing his guilt and apparently showing nc
desire to withold any information which
would enable the attorneys to disentangle the
i complications of tho suit.
Mr. BuHer also succeeded in drawing oul
of the witness tho faet that tho defendant!
never inquired of him or any one else about
the bonds. Bedell testified that both be and
tho earlier had a set of keys to the safe iu
which were kept both the genuine and th<
bogus mortgages.
The most interesting episode of tho morn
ing was Bedell's frank avowal that in hii
affidavit on Sept. 19 last he liad sworn
falsely when he said ho had forged Henry D.
Sayre's indorsement to a check for $<>,397.90.
This was a loan he had negotiated for at
tho Farmers’ Loan and Trust company tot }
$6,500, aM was the amount i>aid to Sayre
less the commission. Bedell gave as his rea- /
son for perjury at teat time that ho was la
boring under great mental strain and w*
also under the influence of stimulants. Tenia*
he insisted that Sayre’s signature was p.gen
uine one. ,
They Lived Like Aiiimalp
Great Barrington, Mass., Otft. 31.—A
case of squalor has been discovered at Mont
ville by State Agent Anderson, in the rickety
old house occupied by Daniel Ellis. Ellis,
with his wife and six children, occupied th
only habitable room. All were destitute ol
proper clothing, and the place was filthy. A
horse, which was kept in the collar, was sc
emaciated that it was immediately shot.
Ellis is a hard worker, but his wife is shift
less. Many years ago Lafayette Proper, whe
lived in Otis, lost a child, and he traded hit
dog for a young daughter of one Jackson, ol
Salisbury, Conn. This daughter is Ellis’s
wife. The court has placed five children in
care of the state board of charities and cor
rection, the baby being left with its pa
rents.
The Lan non- Ash ton Fight Postponed.
Boston, Oct. 31.—A delegation of Provi
dence sporting men, including Steve Me-
Waugh and Jack Ashton, visited Boston and
arranged with Joe Lannon and his backer,
Billy Mahoney, for a postponement of the
Lannon-Ashton battle, which was billed for
November. The time settled on was on oi
about Dec. 15. It is probable that the con
test will take place under the auspices of tb
New York Athletic club members, and thal
the men will fight to a finish with either skir
tight or two ounce gloves.
An Absconder Arrested.
Toronto. Out., Oct. 31.— Louis Helm
Slonaker, cashier at Sioux City, la., for
the Chicago and Northwestern,railway, whe

money, and an information was laid before
