Congressman Poran Predicts Ohio j Democratic Success —Tho Fat Offices Not Yet rilled. ————— Campaign (i reaie. Special to the Globe. Philadelphia, Sept. 7.—The letter which was sent out by the chaiiman of the Republican state committee, Mr. Thomas N. Cooper, to government clerks at Wash- j ington, soliciting subscriptions for the Re publican cause, is likely to bring the chair man into the courts. Civil Service Com missioner Gregory said to-night that, had he sent these letters to the private addresses oi the clerks, instead of to the government offices, the case would have another aspect [ Chairman Cooper was not at all scared at the uproar his circular created. "Why. that's all right," he said, when one was handed to him. "We sen! that out to all Republican officeholders, taking it, for granted thai they are as much Republican now as they ever were before. There's nothing wrong in soliciting contributions for the cause, and we take, the right to ad dress circulars to all Republicans holding office, thinking that they will feel a pleasure in helping the cause. We send the same circular out to all Republican citi zens wherever we think we can get any money." The senator smiled when spoken to about being ait to jail. "Last year," said Mr. Cooper, "Miv Eaton, president of the civil service commission, decided that our action in sending out circulators is within the law, and cannot possibly be con structed as an infraction of it. Acting on the strength of that opinion, 1 sent out the circulators. In doing so I had a three-fold purpose. First to get money, of which we are in need; second, to show that Republi can! are ho —: Republicans when serving under a Democratic administration: thirdly, to know that if Republicans were to be pre vented from sending subscriptions so should Democrats. Let them arrest me if they wish, 1 have no fear of a Democratic prison." Ohio Will do Dcnior Special t;> the Qlo , Cleveland, 0., Sept. 7.—j; ... M. A. Foran, who represents the Cleveland dis trict in Congress, is a shrewd and candid observer of public events, and declines to express his opinions until he has fully ma tured them. In a talk with the Globe correspondent to-day he stated his views as follows: "I do not consider it by any means settled thai the proposed amend ment to the constitution will be carried. taking Ohio out of the October list and placing her among the November states. .Senator John Sherman is an aspirant for the presidency, and will, no doubt show lip strong in the next Republican national convention. It is to his interest to keep < 'hid where she is as long as she is counted a Republican state in presidential years. His friends will all vote against the amend ment, You will notice the Republican platform is reticent on that point." "What, Mr. Foran, 1!do you regard as the main local point at issue in this campaign?" "The regulation of the liquor question of course. The Democrats are openly COMMITTED TO A LICENSE and the Republicans to the principles of the Scott law; thai is, the question of regula tion by license vs. a tax law. If the Demo crats carry the legislature a license amend ment to the constitution will certainly be submitted. President Cleveland's policy, ! believe, is growing in favor with think ing men, and there is more and more of a disposition to sustain him in his course. Yes, the senatorial question will have some bearing on the result but an endeavor is being made to keep it in the background. If we carry the legislature some will look for the election of Mr. Thunnan and some will think Gov. Hoa (ly should be pro moted if he runs well and carries the legis lature." "Do you think the Democrats will carry Ohio?" "I really believe they will. i think we will elect our state ticket and also gain a Democratic general assembly. Thai feeling seems to run all through the party and a great, deal of strong and EAUNEST WORK will lie done. The increase of appoint ments by the administration has had a good effect, especially in strong Republican coun ties, where Democrats have had no show since the Hood. The registration law will help us, especially in places like Cincinnati and Cleveland. There are a great many conservative Republicans, who are so well pleased with our national and slate admin istrations thai they will not take the trouble to register so as to vote against them, and there is one thine as true as gospel, the peo ple arc tired of the bloody-shirt business. No answering echo has been heard to Sher man's speech. Do you suppose the large Republican manufacturers, who are build ing up a trade in the South, care to fight the war over again? They would rather sell broods to the new South than to light again on issues that are dead." Donnelly's IS ad ICrcak. Bpeola] to the Globe. Washington, Sept 7. — was reported this afternoon that a large list of appoint ments for Minnesota and Dakota have been prepared at the interior department and will be laid before the president and cabinet to-morrow, it is intimated that the sur veyor general of Minnesota will be among them ami that his name will not be Don nelly, The river speech of thai gentleman before the waterways convention did not produce a favorable impression here. A Minnesota man who has been among Don nelly's supporters said to a Globe corres pondent this evening: "I am very much surprised at Mr. Donnelly's course at the waterways convention. I could not have believed him capable of such bad judgment and bad taste. Ido not think that a man capable of making such a speech as that ought to expect to be appointed to any office. It has hurt him here very much, as It ought to." The Sew York Fi£-l»t. Special to the Globe. Washington, Sept. —The interest Bhown by Secretary Manning in the New York election is interpreted here as mean- Ing two things. First, that if there was any truth in the reports of trouble between Til den and the administration the president has made baste to patch it up in some way; find second, that the administration has to day some inteie>t in the coining struggle in New York. The last mentioned fact is causing a good deal of gossip among politi cal gossipers, too. Will President Cleve land's administration make the same record for itself in New York politics that Presi dent Arthur's did? is a question heard on every band. President Arthur fixed up" a slate for the New York Republicans which gave the Btate to the opposite party, broke the heart of his excellent secretary "of the treasury, and ended his chances for a re-election. Is President Cleveland going to travel in his footsteps? The fact that Manning is tak ing hold of political work here shows plainly that the first part of this season's program is likely to be about like that of two years ago. The second part is looked for with great interest The Republicans are confident that they can win the next fight m New York. The struggle will be a Closer one at least for there is a good deal at stake on both sides. Exploring New Countries. Washington, Sept Lieut. George M. Storey, commanding the Alaska explor ing expedition, reports to the navy depart ment from St. Michael's. Alaska. June 80, that after leaving Ounalaska June 9. he visited the new volcano on Bogoslea island and found the only changes since last year's visit to be a less discharge of smoke and steam and a small point making off from the northwest end of the new volcano. The birds had commenced nesting in the new volcano. The party reached St. Michael's June 36. after encountering heavy ice to the westward of St. Lawrence island. At St. Michael's Lieut. Storey secured nearly all the fur clothing required, also eighteen good dogs and three guild teams. The doics cost about $150 each in exchange for trade goods. An interpreter was also engaged and shipped as an ordinary seaman. Lieut. Storey intended taking with him two na tives as drivers, and thewifeof mm of them.

Washington, Sept. 7. —The slowness ni' the administration in appointing fourth class postmasters in Ohio is regarded by ; the Republicans of that state as very hurt ful to their chances this fall. In explana tion of this seeming paradox a writer in the Sunday Herald makes a prominent Buckeye Republican say that there are 1.000 third and fourth rate postofflces in Ohio held by men who have always been Republican workers, but who now are afraid to take an active part in the cam ■ paign, lesi it may cost their position. I Their salaries are not large, but in nearly every instance the fourth class postmaster is keeper of a shop or couutry store of some sort, and the postoffice draws trade there. Hence, none of the postmasters care to lose them. If these places were all tilled by Democrats now somebody would be disap pointed, for there are usually several can didates for each one. Those seeking these positions are told that faithful and effective work in the canvas will be rewarded when it is over, and he who does most will stand the besi chance to be appointed. Every efficient Democrat is therefore in the field hard at work, while some of the most ener getic Republican canvassers are taking it easy in their tents. Consul Iteport on Cholera. Washington, Sept. 7.—Consul Mason at Marseilles has sent to the state depart in. Mit a further report, dated Aug. 27, on the cholera epidemic. He says: "Accepfr ; ing these statistics as now published, they ! are undoubtedly quite below the truth. The deaths from Asiatic cholera in Marseilles since the 20th inst. inclusive have numbered 1 by days as follows: 04, 89, 56, 45, 45, 39, :.. Total deaths from all causes <luring the same days were 102, 118, 9:2, 70, 88, 70, 630, This, considering that the normal death rate of Marseilles is less than twenty per day, is a frightful record, and shows that typhus and typhoid fevers are ravaging This reeking city with a vehemence scarcely less deadly than that of cholera itself. .Mr. Mason says that the departures from the city number about two thousand per day, hut there has been no panic like that "I 1884, the public mind having been gradually prepared for the developments which for a time were suppressed by the city government and the press. With the exception of perhaps four or live comparatively new and handsome streets, the pestilence has this year visited every part of the municipality and its suburbs. The cholera has diminished notably in some of the streets and quarters where it first ap peared a month nirn, and this, with t'.ie slowly increasing but still small percentage of cases that recover are the only present indications that the pestilence has spent its most malignant force. The newest peculiarity of the cholera, both at Marseilles and Toulon. Mr. Mason says, is a tendency to complication at an early stage with typhoid fever, a com bination from which few patients are ever rescued. The Chinese Trouble. Washington, Sept 7.—Adjt Gen. Drum had a conference with the president to-day in regard to the trouble in Wyom ing territory and gave him an account of the steps already taken by the war depart ment to suppress the disturbance. The question as tv> the further action on the part of tiie government will be laid before the cabinet at the next meeting* BATHES INDIFFERE NT. Mr. Chin Chi Yueng, secretary of the Chines.- legislation, speaking for the Chi nese minister, said to-night that nothing would be done by the representative of the Chinese government here, in the matter of the recent massacre of Chinese at Rock Springs, W. T.. until a report of the oc currence had been received from the Chi nese consul at San Francisco. When such a report was received, he said, the question of bringing the case to the attention ol this government would be considered. Thus far there had been no such report on the subject between the minister and consul at San Francisco. The return of tlie minister to Washington, he added, was not beciuse of the trouble, but simply his vacation was at an end. Called ti Bait. V,\\s:ttn-gton, Sept. 7.—First Comp troller Durham to-day stopped a requisi tion to pay the salary of J. A. J. CreswelL, government counsel before tiie court of com missioners of Alabama claims, for the mouth of August, until it is settled that there is any balance due him. The first comptroller takes the ground that Mr. Cres well is not entitled to a fixed salary of - -.nil) per annum, but that sum is named as the limit of fees to be allowed him for the trial of the cases. He says that the law recognizing the court says that the gov ernment counsel would receive a reasona ble compensation for each case tried, and that subsequent laws limited such compen sation to .^,OOO per annum. The court, however, he says, neglected to fix the amount of a "reasonable compensation," and has illegally treated that Item lisa fixed salary. Cleveland at His Ivesk. Washington, Sept. 7.— President Ctoo land arrived here at 8 o'clock this morning. The president's carriage was in waiting at the depot and he was immediately driven to the White house, where, after breakfast ing, he settled down to work. The presi dent, who is well tanned by the sun, and who appears much improved by his trip, says that he has bad an excellent tinio and enjoyed excellent health. He has not been ill a single day since he left, and he is at a loss to understand how the report of his serious sickness originated. A meeting of the cabinet will be held on Thursday. The members who are absent from the city have cot, however, been sum moned lo attend it. as there is no business to be considered requiring their presence. It is expected that all the cabinet officers will have returned to Washington by the '20th inst. It is stated at the White house that the president proposes to dispose of pending questions before seriously consid ering matters to be brought to the notice of congress in his annual message. Tariff Keforin. Special to the Olobe. Washington, Sept. 7.— The 100 Rhode Island manufacturers who have taken the trouble to protest against any further tariff tinkering this winter might as well have saved their time and effort. They will avail nothing. There is a determination on the part of the administration to do some thing with the tariff, and this determination will be reached by a large majority of the Democratic members of congress. The cry is for reform, but not for radical reform. THE ST. PAUL DALLY OLOBEL TUESDAY MORNING. BICPJMIBiaR 8, 18S3.—TWELVE PAGES. I The administration will not favor radical j changes and sweeping reductions, nor will a majority of congress bo in favor of it. In dications now are that the president and cabinet may be able to hold Bill Morrison down, tie Mr. Carlisle's hands by placing him in the chair, and, with the aid and counsel of a few such wise and conservative heads as Randall, liolman and others, be able to get a moderate tariff-reform meas ure before congress, and perhaps get it passed. A Newspaper Scheme. Special toihf Globe. Washington, Sept. 7. —A syndicate of | resident correspondents of newspapers in i the city is being formed for the purpose of perfecting a scheme for a weekly news paper, which has been for some time under consideration. The new enterprise is a novel one. It is proposed that each one of the associated writers shall contribute one article each week over his own signature, in Which he shall take full liberty to express any opinions or ideas of which he may be possessed. There will be no editor to pass upon or reject communications, and each one will have full swing. The American j News company has agreed to take hold of ' the paper, and it is expected that the first number will be issued about Nov. 1. It will be called the Spectator. The syndicate will be limited to twenty members, and each member will be assessed §25 the first week. No Dansrer of E'estilcnce.

Chicago, Sept. 7.—During the past week the health inspector condemned 170 cholera-stricken hogs to the tanks. Yester day, in a slaughter house at the yards, he condemned twenty-nine that had been killed and dressed and were all ready for market. The hogs were the property of various scalpers who do business in the yards. The heaviest weighed neatly two hundred pounds, and the smallest was only thirty pounds in weight. The puffed and discolored flesh inside and, out and the sick ening smell which attached to the carcasses made discovery an easy matter. Cholera has never been so prevalent among hogs at the stock yards as it has been this season, and scalpers, it is alleged, instead of en deavoring to stamp out the disease by re fusing to purchase, deliberately buy the stock, in the hope that they can evade the health inspectors on their regular rounds.

PURITAN SAILS AHEAD, i ■ 1 The American and English outter3 Make But Twenty Miles, and Another Trial To-Day. The Race a Magnificent One Followed by a ! Grand Flotiila-The Yankee Boat Will Win. A California Horse Beats .Too Murray at Brighton— Wilkes and- Clingstone Matched. Sullivan Training For Kyan—llanlan Leaves 1 ;<>ss and Leo at Sheepa 1. Buy. The Yacht Contest. New York, Sept. 7.— Owing to the late- 1 ness of the start of the initial race between the Genesta and the Puritan, and to the lack" of wind afterwards, the yachts suc ceeded in making only half the course, or twenty miles. In this twenty miles beat to windward, tun Puritan squarely out sailed the Genesta one mile in ten, and nearly two miles in twenty. A haze settled upon the bay all the morning, and there was no wind front any quarter until nearly noon. A hundred sail of yachts lay in the horse shoe at Sandy Hook this morning when the judges' boat, Lacenback, arrived from New York with the judges and Messrs. J. F. Tains, Charles Stebbins, Philip Schuyler. At 9:45 o'clock a. in. Jay Gould's steam yacht, Atlantis, passed out by the hook, followed in ten minutes by the tug Luther C. Ward, towing the sloop Puritan. She was saluted by guns from nearly every steam yacht in the fleet while on her way to the Scotland lightship, the starting point. The Genesta, remained in the horseshoe while Mr. William Kreps of the New York Yacht club, representing the Puritan, was put on board from the judge's boat. She then proceeded under sail on the port tack to the lightship. THE ENGLISH CUTTEU was also saluted by the large licet of yachts now under way. The tide was running flood during the forenoon. Two hundred and seventeen vessels of all sizes and rig were assembled within a circle of a mile 01 the Scotland light ship. After a tedious wait of two hours, after the arrival of the contestants at the lightship, the preparatory signal was given from the judge's boat at 1:80. It was followed by the starting signal five minutes later. All of the attendant fleet were then lying to the southwest of the lightship, to give the Genesta and Puritan clear water to start in. The wind had come in from the southeast, a moderate breeze shortly after 1 and was hailed with delight by the thousands of enthusiastic spectators in the streams, who had paid from Si to S3 a head to see the great con test. By skillful maneuvering the skippers Of both yachts brought them close enough to the line between the judges' boats and the lightship on the port tack to cross, In a few seconds alter the STARTING SIGNAL, the Puritan slipped across the first close up to the judge's boat at 1 hour, 35 minutes and 55 seconds, but for some reason Capt. Centre of the Genesta tacked to starboard just before reaching it, losing 1 minute, 42 seconds, and being handicapped 32 seconds thereby. They crossed at 1 hour, 37 min utes and 37 seconds official time. Capt. Crocker of the Puritan, which boat looked very handsome with her mainsail, sprit topsail, forestay sail, jib and jib top ,sail meant '"light" from the start. At the moment Genesta crosseu the line Puritan came about, and in thirty seconds had filled away on the starboard tack with Genesta a hundred yards on her lee beam. The course was right "in the winds eye" and a tug had started ten min utes to log out the twenty miles to wind ward and place a stake buoy for the yachts to round. Cheered on by shouts from hun dreds of spectators and followed by the im mense flotilla of pleastise crafts the two contestants headed due east on their first reach. Finding that they could neither pass the Puritan to the leeward or "outpoint" him, Capt. Carter after twenty-three min utes, suddenly put the Genesta about to cross the Puritan's stern, but Capt. Crockei ! put his helm down at once, bringing the handsome white sloop round in forty sec onds later. The Genesta was full of tricks, for round she came again in less than a minute followed by the Puritan again in fifty seconds. Both yachts were carrying the same canvass. Instead of gaining by THE LITTLE SKIRMISH which he imagined Capt. Carter had lost, and the Puritan had gained a decided ad vantage. Both yachts went about at 3:07, and reached to the southward having made about eight miles of easting on the star board tack. Now the Puritan began to rap idly open a gap between herself and Gen ista, and when they next tacked to the eastward at lea she was fully three quarters of a mile to the windward of her antagonist and one-eighth of a mile ahead. At 5:11 both tacked to the southward again and now the Genesta was over a mile on the Puritans lee quarter. The way both yachts "walked" through a fleet of schooners, in cluding the Montauk, Fleetwing, America and Columbia astonished the spectators and proved the superior speed of these boats as compared with the old models. At 0:30 when the judge's boat arrived at the outer mark, it was sundown. The wind was growing lighter and the yachts being then two miles to the leeward* it was evident that the race could not be sailed within the required time limit of seven hours, so the regatta committee ordered it postponed un til to-morrow, when the boats will start at the same hour and over a similar course. All the accompanying yachts turned back before dark and the Genesta and Puritan were towed back to the Horseshoe. The result of to-day's contest is thought by ex perienced yachtsmen to be convincing proof that the Puritan can beat the cutter urtder any conditions. PAST CONTESTS. The cup for which the Puritan and Gen esta contested is held in this country by virtue of the sailing of theya^J America, was won thirty-four years \" , and has never been recaptured by English sails. It was offered by the Royal Yacht club in 1851, during the great world's fair of that year open to yachts from all nations. The America won by twenty minutes ahead of the best of the other vessels, the Aurora. The cup thus won became the property of the New York yacht club in 1857,"the America's owners having transferred it to the club. In 1870 an attempt was made to recover the cup. The race came off on Aug. 8 of that year, between the English yacht, Cambrian, owned by James Ashbury, and and a fleet of American yachts. The Cam brian came in tenth in the race; the Magic, first, anji the old America, second. In 1871 another trial was made by Mr. Ash bury, who seemed determined to get back the cup. In this contest the American yachts, Columbia and Sappho, won live out of the eight races arranged for. Twice more, in IS7O and 1881, American yacht men had to defend the cup. The contest ants came from Canada, and were badly beaten by the Americans. MEASUREMENTS OF THE YACIITS. The measurer of the New York Yacht club gives the following as the measure ment for calculation of sailing length: Genesta, from topmast head to deck 97 2-10 feet eiid of boom to tip of bowsprit 140 5-10 feet, gaff 46 feet, water line 81 6-10 feet. The Puritan's measurements are as follows? From topmast head to deck 102 1-10 feet, from end of boom to tip of bowsprit 144 0-10 feet, gaff 47 feet, water line 82 1-10 feet. She therefore gives the Gen esta 31 seconds time allowance. The Puritan was sailed by Capt. Aubrey Cocker, assisted by Capt. Joe Ellsworth and twenty two able-bodied seamen, and the Genesta was sailed by Capt, John Carter and mate, William Hargate, and fifteen British tars. Running at Brighton Reach.

V., Sept. 7.—Charles E. Courtney and C. E. Brockman, the regatta manager, met hero to-day to arrange for a single scull race with John Teenier of Me- Keesport, Pa. Mr. Nolle, Teemer's backer, had not arrived here at 9 p. in., and Court ney left for his home at Union Springs. While here Courtney showed a dispatch signed by Mr. Spillman, Conley's backer, and reading as follows: "Will issue n callougro for the race to-mor row.

Another Great Kucc. PiTTsrsunn, Pa., Sept. 7.—Harvey Wilkes and Clingstone have been matched for a race at Homewood park, near this city, on Saturday, Sept. 19, for a purse of §3,000. SX:iti!«\;i Wins. New York, Sept. —The boat race be tween Hanlan, Ross and Lee, three miles with a turn, at Sheephead Bay this after noon was for a purse of •51,200, contributed by the hotels. The money was to be divided 8600 to the first, *400 to the second and $300 to the third. It was a sort of procession, without interest and was witnessed by only a few people. Ilanlan had a slight lead, rowing easily throughout, while Ross and Lee rowed here, there and everywhere over the course and ran into each other twice. Hanlan finished first in 21:21 by three lengths, Lee second, ten lengths ahead of Ross. Both Lee and Ross claimed fouls, but the referee did not change the positions. Canadian Yacht Racing 1. Special to the Globe. Toronto, Ont., Sept. —The annual races of the Royal Canadian Yacht club took place here to-day, when the New York forty-ton Winona entered for the Marquis of Lome cup race. The Oriole, a ninety- three ton schooner belonging to the club allowed the New York sloop live min utes and twenty seconds. Several smaller club yachts were allowed from three to twenty-six minutes by the Oriole and the Winona. There was a line fresh gale at the start of the race and the Winona left her competitors far behind for the first five miles of the thirty-live miles course.

Philadelphia, Sept. 7.—The New York club to-day received a serious set-back in its light for the championship pennant by being again defeated by the Philadel phias. They batted hard and ran bases with vim, but repeated brilliant plays by the home players made run getting difficult, the New Yorkers having two men left on bases in three different innings. There were many pretty plays in the field, the more noteworthy being a triple play by Conner and Gerhardt in the first inning, and a double play in the second inning by the same players. There were brilliant catches also made by O'Rourke, Andrews, Fogarty and Bastian. Esterbrook and Gerhardt fielded poorly, and their errors with Welch's wild pitches, gave the home club the game.

Radbourne pitched for seven innings as if he did not care whether he was hit or not and \he re sult was six singles, three donbles and a three-bagger, yielding six runs for Boston two earned. Providence in the meantime could not get more than one hit in any in ning, except the seventh, when three singles yielded an earned run, but in the last of the ninth the champion struck a lucky streak on batting and six hits, combined with a fum ble and an overthrow, brought in five runs and tied the scores. Then Radbourne pitched his best, but could not prevent a single and a home nan in the eleventh in ning.

De troit and Buffalo from the league and the selling of Bancroft and his players to the Philadelphia and Washington clubs, it was learned that there had not been any trade of the kind. Mr. Bancroft stated emphatically that he had entered into no agreement with the Athletics of Philadelphia, and, so far as he was aware, Radboume had not done so. Both Mr. Allen and Mr. Bancroft expressed surprise at the alleged action at the Saratoga confer ence of the league and American associa tion, because they have received ample as surance since the meeting that the other clubs were desirous that Providence should remain in the league next season.

Special to the Globe. Philadelphia, Sept. 7.—A lad aged 11 years committed suicide to-day by Bhooting himself, after reading a trashy story of a duel. The boy, whose name was Oscar Tarry, is the son of a prominent insurance man. This morning his lather wakened him and told him to hurry down to break fast. As the son did not appear within a reasonable time the father went to the boy's room and endeavored to persuade him to come. The youngster was reading in bed, and was evidently much absorbed in the story. Oscar protested that he did not feel hungry and did not want to go down. So the parent left him and repaired to the dining-room. Presently he was startled by a sharp report. He thought something had fallen up stairs, and when he went to the bedroom he was terrified with the sight of the deail body of his child lying in front of the mirror. A Colt's pistol was on the floor near the boy's outstretched hand. The bullet had gone right through the boy's head. Alter a while Mr. Parry remembered that his son had been reading and looking for a paper, the father found it to be a copy of the Hartford Times, a paper publishing serial stories, and the particular story that the boy had been reading was entitled "Dying on the point of honor, or tlie strange story of a Souther duel." The lad was a very bright boy, and the lather said that to his knowl edge he had not been in the habit of reading trashy literature. Tlie pistol which the boy used was on the top shelf of a closet and in order to reach it he had to climb on a chair. Evidently he stood in front of the looking glass and fired the shot, as his body was found in a position which indicated this. Were They Poisoned, to EieulEi? Special to the Globe. Urkana, 111., Sept. 7.— Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Peabody were prominent and honored residents of St. Joseph, this county. Miss Belle Hasty, daughter of Uobert Hasty, and a young" woman of fine character ami pleasant manners, lived with the Peabody family, and was said to be en gaged to Young Silas Peabody. Young Peabody's parents, particularly his mother, were opposed to this marriage, owing to Miss Hasty's poor health. On Aug. a Mrs. Pea body died very suddenly of what appeared to be neuralgia of the stomach. On Aug. 7 Mr. Peabody died with the same symptoms. On Sept. 1 Miss Hasty and young Silas Pea body were taken with the same symptoms, and the young lady died, while the young man lias recovered. Since that time sus picion has been awakened by the alleged discovery of a package of rat poison pinned to the under garment which Miss Hasty had laid off just before her death, that the latter had poisoned Mr. and Mrs. Peabody with the hope of marrying the son and then concluded to kill him and herself. Yesterday Rev. J. W. Perkins re fused to preach her funeral sermon until the matter was cleared up. Investigation will be made. All parties in the case bear excellent reputations. Cang-ht tlie Mayor. Jackson, Mich., Sept. 7.—The police force of this city having been found inade quate to the task of keeping the disorderly elements straight, a police commission was organized with power to control the police force. This commission has made several raids on gambling houses, but failed to cap ture any important persons. There were complaints that only minor gamblers were arrested, but the commission paid no atten tion to them. Last Saturday night they pulled a new gambling-room and captured tlie mayor and several city officials. Alex ander, the man running the gambling room, had been ••pulled' a few days ago in another room and changed to the present place, where it was supposed he would be protected b> Hie city orlicials playing. No arrests were made, but the names of the players were taken. The cards, chips.etc, were seized. Mayor Pringle,City Attorney Peck, Joseph Hanaw, owner of the block, and about a dozen others, including some wealthy citizen were in the room at the time. The affair will probably cause con siderable trouble before it is done with, and an attempt will doubtless be made to re move some members, if not all of the police commission. Rioters Arrested. Chetknxe, Wyo., Sept. 7.—The sneriff of Sweetwater county has arrested twenty two of the supposed leaders of the lloek Springs riot, including Isaiah Whitehouse, a member elect of the legislature. They were taken to Green River, Utah, anil placed in jail. They will have a prelim inary hearing to-morrow. More arrests Will follow. The charges against the pris oners are murder, arson, rioting and rob bery. The ruins of Chinatown have not yet been searched and no more dead bodies have yet been discovered. It is estimated now the number of killed was about fifty, including several that died of wounds in the surrounding hills. Ail the Chinamen at work in the AJmy coal mines, near Evans ton, numbering 100, have been taken to the latter place under escort of the United States troops. A Gatling gun was sent from hereto Evanston yesterday. Tlie mil itary is under the command of Col.

Chattanooga, Term., Sept. 7—The city is now quiet, but men are seen in groups everywhere discussing the terrible events of last night. There is a great deal of sup pressed excitement but no fears of any fur ther trouble. The body of the murderer, Williams, was cut down from the beam in the jail at oa. in. and was taken in charge by his family. William T. Hanley, a prom inent young man who was shot during the indiscriminate shooting of the negro mob, died this morning from his wounds, and his death lias intensified the public grief. Ben Palmer, the negro who was shot, is very low and will perhaps die. The other wounded men are not seriously hurt. The, remains of the ex-chief of police, whom Williams so brutally murdered, will be in terred to-day. It is now clear that had the negroes not attempted an outbreak, no shooting would have occurred. The hang ing was done within the jail building with out excitement or disorder. Terrific Explosion. Titusvii.lk, Pa., Sept. 7. —The seven hundred and lifty-barrel steel still at tlie American oil works in the eastern portion of the city exploded with terrinic force at 10:45 this morning. The top was blown off and houses shaken all over town Doors were slammed and glass was broken. One hundred barrels of oil in the tank caught fire and burned fiercely for two hours, but the city fire department, by strenuous efforts, prevented a spread of the tlames, which at one time threatened the entire works. William Sodiman was slightly in- j jured by flying brick. The loss will reach ! $5,000 without insurance. Imposed Ou tlie Brethren. MABTHT, Tex., Sept. 7.—Washington Sledge, a colored school teacher from liob ertson county, was arrested to-day for j swindling. The gravity of the charge con- i sists in offering for sale printed copies of a j letter purporting to have been written by I Jesus Christ and found hidden beneath a stone near where the croas stood at Mount Calvary. Sledge would represent that a j copy of this letter hung up in a house would have the effect of preventing diseases and pests of all kinds, and would also ward off lighting and other impending dangers. He i has found ready sale for these letters among the negro population, many of whom profess to have faith in the genuineness of Dcfftruciive Hall Storm. Port Tobacco, Md., Sept. 7. — The most destructive hailstorm ever known in this section occurred on Saturday evening. Entire fields of corn and tobacco were de stroyed. in many fields not even a leal of tobacco was left on the stalk. Ears of corn were broken from the stalks while little more than half up.

Cleveland, Sept. 7.—At 2:30 thii morning a fire started in the Dean oil works which caused an explosion of three stills. The overflowing and flaming oil emptied into Kingsbory creek and ran to the Standard oil yards, setting fire to the agitators south of the New York, Penn sylvania & Ohio track. The loss to the company is scarcely in proportion to the magnitude or the fire. Not more than 5,000 barrels of oil were lost and the value was less than 95,000. The loss on the plant is estimated at from §30,000 to $40,000. Killed His neighbor. Greenville, Sept. 7.— On Saturday night John Essick shot and killed William Wise. Essick, while in his back yard, heard his wife scream in the honse. En tering, he saw William Wise, a neighbor, run out at the front door.

Drum, dated yesterday, as follows: "There is no report of further trouble since the troops went to the scene of disturb ance. None is likely to occur in the pres ence of troops.

Mrs. Walkup, by her attorney, waived a preliminary trial in the justice' court to-day, and the case will therefore go to the district court to be tried at the October term in this city, American Whiskies. From the Cincinnati Times Star. "No, I'm not here on any specific busi ness," said "Buffalo" Miller, president of the whisky pool, on 'change to-day, as he stroked his grandfatherly beard. "I am only here to see the boys." "Will the pool be all right after Septem ber?" " "I hope so. but I can't tell yet. Some of the dealers are holding back, and there is no saying what they will do when the time comes. The fact of the matter is that we are making more whisky than we can use. It is a case of over production, and the home market is pretty well filled." • "And how about the foreign market?" "We are being shut out pretty generally. Most Americans do not know that there are 6,000 distilleries in Germany, and they are paid a bonus by the government for every gallon exported. You see what a stimulus that is for trade. We can get none of our goods in Germany or England, because they prefer their own liquor. Russia and Aus tria make their own, and France is not much of a patron. Spain used to take a great deal of American spirits, but the cholera has been so bad there this year that I guess the trade has been temporarily spoiled. Until a few years ago we had the South American trade." "Has that been stolen from us?" "No, but they have their own distilleries now, and prefer the home article to the im ported." "How does German liquor compare with Bourbon whisky?" "Well, it is not the same stuff at all, though the Germans and English like it better. Most of their spirits are made from potatoes, and the product is distilled several times. The result is a pure, colorless spirit, but with little taste or flavor, but with a great deal of strength."

"Here you come in drunk again," said a Stockton wife to her husband. "I'd wish all the whisky in tho world was out of Stockton and then I might have some peace." "Don't blame it on the whisky, my dear." "What should I blame it on, then?" "The beer that I poured on top of the whisky; that's what knocked me silly." Stockton Maverick.
