Ro<Mir.sTF.K, N. V.. Feb. 22.— Mcln- Finy, the express messenger who had sucii a thrilling experience yesterday, Avas brought to this city, his home. today, and surirical aid summoned. His worst wound is that through the right thigh. The bullet must have been one from the largest pistol the robber car ried. The wound on his forehead is slight, and that in his hand was made by a fragment of a large bullet, as the piece was found in the wound. Mcln erny says that when he found himself in the power of the robber he rolled out some of the less valuable packages and covered valuable ones with them. The robber was impatient to get the cur rency and threatened to shoot it it was not surrendeied. lie said to the mes senger: "You can't fool me; I've been in this business before." While the rob ber was waiting to gtt the money the train reached Lyons and the game was up. .1. 11. Prentiss, agent of the American Express company in this city, went to Lyons last night ami had an interview with the robber. Mr. Prentiss said this morning: ''Dels the same man who committed the Utica robbery, Oliver Curtiss Perry. He admitted the whole thing, and told where he had been since the Itica robbery. lie said he had been in Canada, down South and in the West. He says he always went under his own name. and he was indignant at the state ment that he took any other name. He told me he knew when they were after him in any place, and avoided arrest by changing his voice and putting ou gold spectacles. Tool and Smart. "Perry is one of the brightest and coolest fellows 1 ever saw. He has been a cowboy, and we know that he has been in the state prison in this ami other states, although lie did not tell us so. He told me that his health Is tailing, and that he knew he would go to prison for this and never corce out alive. He said that he weighed 150 pounds iv September and weighs only 130 now. He had sixteen cart ridges when he surrendered and three revolvers, one large and two smail. The larger one had a bore you could put your finger down, lie said: 'Mclnerny was a good man, but indiscreet. He ought to have thrown up his hands. I did not want to kill him, but oniy to wing him.' "lie diil not get a cent. There was nothing in the car for him to steal. 1 asked him how he got on the train, and he replied that he was in the depot at Syracuse when they were loading it, but got on in the freight yard while the train was running fast. He got in the car by attaching his rope by the steel hook to one edge of the car roof and sliding down the other. I asked him if that was not dangerous, and he said, •No;' I broke two panes of glass in the window, and put my head through one and my pistol through the other. I took Mclnerny's pistol when he dropped it. It was only half-cocked.' " Before Perry was captured he had a mustache, but shaved himself with a razor which ho carried. Detective Hynes, of New York, a Pinkerton man, saw the prisoner this n-orning. He claims that Perry has traveled through out the West and South and has charges of all sorts of crimes laid to his credit. "WILL LIVE RIGHT. Forger Bidwell Has Had a Surfeit of Crime. Hartford, Conn., Feb. 22.— Austin Bidwell, the Bank of England forger, who arrived from England on the Etru ria, reached 'iis old home in East Hart ford yesterday. '•! was released," said Bidwell, "at 8 o'clock Friday evening, Feb. 12, and in charge of the chief war den of the prison I was hurried aboard the train and through London to Liver pool, where 1 was placed on board the Emilia. I was not permitted to stop anywhere or speak to anybody until 1 reached the steamer. Then the officer handed my tieket-of-leave to me, and I was for the first time in nineteen years at liberty. The official document ac companying my ticket-cf-leave, in formed me that I must never again set foot in Great Britain or any of her colo nies. The government gave me no clothing on my release. My friends furnished the suit 1 am wearing. The only thing 1 received was £0 cash, and my friends paid my passage to America. This was my compensation for nineteen years' hard labor." "What are your future intentions?" he was asked. "I shall live quietly for awhile until 1 can arrange to make an honest living. I was in the lumber supply business in Chicago before the great fire, and it is possible that I may Jocate there again ana start in business. My friends are too anxious to assist me. Hereafter 1 shall keep to the straight path. I have had my lesson, although it was more severe than was warranted by the facts." "How do you account for jour re lease?" "James G.

"But. despite their great influence, the English irovernnient hesitated, and I am satisfied that the final acquiescence of the home secretary was due as much as anything to the per sistent work of my brother George and my sister, Mrs. Mott," The Memphis Murderess.

Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 22.— News of a horrible story of murder and cannibal ism near Day's Mill has been received. Lucy President, a degraded and idiotic negro woman, left her home and nine months-old infant in charge of her two elder children. Mark and Linda, aged respectively eleven and nine years. She went to the place of J. A. Knight, two miles distant, to get work from Mrs. Knight. After her departure it seems that Mark resolved upon putting the in fant out of the way. So lie told his sis ter what lie proposed doing, at the same time telling her that if she told he would kill her. . Procuring an axe, be deliberately knocked the baby in the head, and mangled its body In different places. Not content with the crime that he had already committed, he took a fork and gouged out the eyes of the baby, which he roasted, and then taking a slice out of either jaw, he and his sister sat them selves down ,to a feast. When the ■mother returned and found what had been done, she did not show the least sign of maternal grief. MURDEROUS COWARDS. A Drunken Crowd Kills a Man for a Song. Toronto, Out., Feb. 22.— The chief of police of this city has just received . in formation of a very sensational murder. It appears that a few nights ago a ped dler sought lodging at a hotel in Loretto, a small village near Simcoe, a district populated almost exclusively by Roman Catholics. He found a party of villagers in a jolly mood, drinking and smoking round the barroom fire. They de manded a song from the peddler, who hesitated to comply, saying he knew nothing but Orange sonars. The crowd, however, insisted, and the peddler com plied, but the sentiment of the song so exasperated the crowd that they set upon and beat the man to death. Sud denly sobered by their murderous deed, they shut up the house and spent the rest of the night in cutting up the body and burning it in the stove. Burned an Entire Block. Decatuii. 111., .Feb. 22.— Library block, occupied by the public library, Brown's business college.

Prohibitionists, Editors and Oth ers on the Skirmish. ; St. Lot;is, ' Feb. ' 22.— The leaders of the national Prohibition party got into a good deal of tangle- at a special con ference at the Southern hotel today. Helen M. Gougar, of : In diana, who presided, was repeatedly called to order by other of ' the woman participants, and, in short, she : ordered them to sit down under penalty of being ignored thereafter by the chair. Tlfe trouble arose over the platform adopted at the recent conference in. the Sherman house at Chicago for representation to the presenUindustrial conference. Sonic of these present were of •■ the opinion ttiat the liquor plank was not strong enough, and that the Prohibi tionists had no right to meddle with the land or money questions. But a motion that the platform .be thrown overboard was defeated by 28 to 13, and finally 9. Gov. St. John, Fran ces Willard, Helen Goujrar." Rev. : Dr. D. C. Kelly and Mrs. J. C.Richmond were appointed, a committee to recon sider the entire matter and report to morrow morning. The single tax advocates, at a confer ence tonight, adopted a plank to be sub mitted to the convention for its ap proval. The National Reform Press association, at a stormy meeting today, adopted by a vote of 44 to 8 the resolu tion denouncing the national union as an oiujrrowth of the cordage trust on the ground that it is controlled by capitalists and that its business methods are exceedingly questionable. The na tional committee of the People's party dropped John Pickett. of Louisiana, from the roll on the ground that he had accepted a nomination on the Demo cratic anti-lottery ticket in his state. _ During the meeting some warm words were . exchanged between Chairman Taubeneck and G. Moody Boynton, of Massachusetts; in the course of which the latter said that lie was in the reform movement before the chairman was born, that Peter Cooper had taken his first lessons in his store, that he had contributed $100,000 to the reform movement, and that he did not propose to allow an Illinois granger to crowd him to the wall. The Western delegates are working hard to have the convention held in July instead of May. on the ground that if the plat forms of the two chief parties ig nore the silver question they can put a free silver plank into the platform, and thus have a show of car rying Colorado, Nevada, Montana and Idaho. These states, with one or two more, would throw the election of pres ident into congress, and thus enable the tkird party people to hold the balance of power and dictate terms. STILL AFTER GARZA. He Is Located, But Escapes Through a Back \V indow. Chicago, Feb. 22.— A San Antonio, Tex., dispatch says: The several troops of the Third United States cavalry are still engaged in active scouting operations on the lower Rio Grande frontier.

THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TUESDAY MORNINO, FEBRUARY 23, 1892. HISTORIC MEMORIES. First Continental Congress of the Daughters of Amer ican Revolution. Mrs. President Harrison De livers the Annual Address of Welcome. Recommendation Adopted for the Building: of a Na tional Hall.. Raymond, of Detroit, Talks to the Committee on Puts and Calls. Washington, Feb. 22.— first con tinental congress of the National Soci ety of the Daughters of the American Revolution began its three-day session this morning at the Church of Our Father. The congress is composed' of ; all the active officers of the national so ciety, one state regent from each state and the iegents and delegates of each organized chapter in. the United States. When Mrs. Benja min Harrison, who is president general of the national society entered the church, the audience arose and stood until she was seated within the chancel. After the report and the adoption of the report of the committee on credentials, Mrs. Harrison delivered the address of welcome. She reviewed the organiza tion of the society in October, 18' JO, since which time a membership of 1,200 has been gained. She congratulated the society upon this growth.and welcomed their first congress, hoping the consul tation will strengthen and improve what has been so well begun. There have been difficulties in the organiza tion, and new obstacles have met the board at many points. Their troubles at the time perhaps caused some fric tion and unpleasant feeling, but in view of the great success which has at tended the laborers of the society, and of the more brilliant future which is be fore it these can be happily forgotten. "It may be in the future that other dif ficulties will arise," , . Said .'lrs. Harrison. "It would be a rare society if everything should move smoothly, and I can only commend a little patience, and for a rule of action, Pryor's advice to a man in the conduct toward his wife: '•Be to her faults a little blind and to her virtues very kind." 'Mrs. Harrison said the society is firmly established and in good condition for continued success. Her closing words were: "I welcome you, regents and delegates of the society, to this city, and to the first congress of the Daughters of the American Revo lution, with the hope and desire that your conference may be one of pleasure to yourselves, having the promise of strength and progress for the future." Mrs. Clifton Breckenridge, wife of Representative Breckenridge, of Arkan sas, responded to the address of welcome delivered by Mrs. Harrison. On be half of the congress she thanked the president • general for the welcome extended, and said the con gress assembles in Washington not only for the purpose of business but also to recall historic memories that bind the members closely together and that should perpetuate the virtues of toe" president and best days of the republic. Mrs. William D. Caball then .. read her report. It recommends the Building of a National Hall "for the national society to be located in Washington, to be the .property in fee ; simple of the Daughters of. the Revolu tion. It should be the finest building ever owned by women. Marble from Vermont and Tennessee and gran ite from Massachusetts and Virginia should combine .for strength and beauty in its construction. The house should be purely American, designed and built by Americans. It should be a great, hall for lectures, addresses and general conventions of the society, and could be utilized as a music hall to bring in a revenue. There should be a library unsurpassed in quality by any in the country. PUTS AND CALLS. Mr. Raymond, of Detroit, Speaks in Opposition to the Bill. Washington; Feb. 22.— The subcom mittee of the senate judiciary commit tee continued its hearing this morning on the subject of options. Mr. Ray mond, of the Detroit board of trade, op posed the pending bills on the general ground that such legislation against one class of business would not command public sympathy and was entirely be yond the jurisdiction of congress. It was a menace to every citizen of the country. The farmers, he said, in supporting the proposition held that option selling de pressed prices. The whole proposition, Mr. Raymond thought, rested upon mis apprehension, and the result was just the opposite. He thought a more thor ough investigation into the matter could be«made if a joint committee of congress went to some large city and gave hearings and witnessed the actual transactions of the boards of trade and exchanges than if the investigation were made in Washington. Puts and calls, Mr. Raymond said, were held to be illegal by "every court in the country, and were frowned upon by all boards of trade. The passage of the bills which he opposed would not make those transactions any more illegal than they were today. Specu lative dealing, he claimed, were legiti mate, and he compared them with transactions in real estate and other property. A builder, he said, might agree to build a house for a certain sum, after which he was offered more for his contract by another builder, who in turn might resell the con tract to a third party. Three contracts, he said, were made, but three houses were not built. It was the same way with grain; 10,000 bushels sold three times represented SO, OOO bushels, but the amount sold for deliv ery was 10.000 bushels, and the transfer "contract was simply abstraction, and when it was time for delivery it was turned over to the ultimate buyer. Real estate and other property would he said, be dealt with in the same way .'but for the fact that it could not be graded. The development for the wheat crop of India and the opening of the Suez canal, he said, had tended to depress the price of wheat because England dealt largely with India. Silver and Gold Product. ' Washington, Feb. 22.— During the last three months of 1891 3,195,696 pounds of silver lead ore were exported to the United States from the state of Sonora, Mexico. The production of gold in Mexico has increased from 100,000 during the fiscal year 18S9-90 t0 51,150,000 during the fiscal year 1890-91. : During the same period the silver output has The Genuine Johann Hoff's Malt Extract p-*% «i . unequaled as iri /HI '- a table bev >rv v/} HI f"l fy*. erase for the V\^2< iH. v4Xsiv weak and de /)^s«fik^*ir/^ bilitated ' f ? r I /leP§i^l< ladies and J /lirW^y ) ( - dren. and in //7&j£Ss=y " I pepsla and in ■Gky^3X?**it\\K\ digestion.

London, Feb. 23.— As dispatches con tinue to be received the list of maritime casualties, due to the fierce gales which have just swept over the coasts of Great? Britain and Ireland, grows in length. During the year IS'.)l the losses to the : writers of marine insurance was so heavy that several members of the so ciety of Lloyds withdrew entirely from the business of assuming marine risks,' and already the underwriters have sus tained heavy losses." Among the long list of wrecks is the Norwegian timber bark Dronnln Sophie, which went ashore at Galleyhead. a promontory of Ireland, in County Cork, between the bays of Rosa and Clonakilty. She had a crew of eleven men, who would have undoubtedly been lost had it not been for the gallant efforts of the lifeboat men, who, in the very teeth of the howl ing gale, put out to the wreck and brought all hands safely ashore. ■ A dispatch from Wexford states . that a large steamer bound for Glasgow from South African ports is stranded at Mor ris Castle, county Wexford. She got oft her course during the blinding storm that prevailed and went ashore in the height of the storm. She blew signals of distress and sent up rockets and in a short time the lifeboat mcii and coast guard were at the scene. It is decided that it would be a safer plan to use the ' breeches buoy, 1 as the sea was running so high that it would have been almost impossible to get a lifeboat alongside of the stranded vessel. A rocket was accordingly shot across the steamei>and the breeches buoy was rigged after some difficulty and the captain of the steamer, his wife and crew, were safely landed, much worse for their experi ence. The yacht Surprise has been wrecked at * Donaghee. county Down, about sixteen miles northeast ot Belfast. The schooner Jane and Alice foun dered oft Dungarvin, county Wexford. A trawler rescued her crew. The anxi ety that was fell concerning the Brit ish steamer Sir Walter Raleigh, which put into Bear Haven. Bantry bay, with her shaft broken, while on a voyage from Philadelphia or Falmouth or Plymouth, and which, while proceeding in "tow for port where she could make : repairs, broke adrift and went seaward, has been allayed by her rearrival ;at Bear Haven. She was picked up at sea by the British steamer Ninian Stewart, Capt. Browne, bound from Baltimore for Queenstown, and was towed back to Bear Haven, where she . arrived at 5 o'clock last evening. The British bark Nikaria, Capt, Long, from Coquimbo, via Carrizal, for Hampton Roads, was abandoned in latitude 26, longitude 57 west. All hands on board of her were saved and have been landed at Antofa gasta, Chili. r~ The body of a man has "been thrown ashore by the sea at Penzance. From papers fount! in his clothing it is be lieved he was a native of France. It is supposed that he was one of the men. who belonged to the unknown steamer which was wrecked off Penzance. A ■ coat has also come ashore at Penzance, in a pocket of which are a number of letters addressed to Capt. Fabrei, of the Austrian bark Fratellio, which sailed from Amsterdam Feb. 15 for Buenos Ay res. A large lifeboat, painted black, which | appeared to have been washed from the \ trans- Atlantic line steamer, has stranded at Killiney, County Dublin,, two and a half miles southeast of Kingston. The bottom of the boat was steve and she had been so battered by the sea that the name on her could not. be read. The steamer Tunisie as; ashore- at Lundy island, at the entrance of .Bristol chan nel. Her crew, were taken off by means of the breeches buoy. The British bark Brandon. Capt. Murphy, from Liver-; poo! for Rio Janeiro, lias 1 put into Holy head with some of her sails gone. She has also sustained other 1 damage. & Terrible weather prevailed in St- George's channel last night. An un known French steamer foundered off the Scilly islands and three of her crew were drowned. The remaining seventeen of her crew have arrived' at Falmouth. A Flushing' mail boat stranded at Queensborough, during- a heavy fog last night. Her signals of distress were heard at Sherness and the British war ship Scout went out in search of the ves sel, but when she arrived at the 1 place whence the signals were heard, the ves sel had vanished. : The weather today throughout v the United kingdom is milder than it has been for some days past. Telegraphic communication, which has been more or less interrupted since the storm began, over a week ago, is now being restored. It has been learned that the French steamer that foundered off the Scilly islands was named the Trignac. * A dispatch from Gibraltar states that during the storm : that prevailed in that vicinity an unknown ship went ashore at Cape Sparte, on the northwest coast of Morocco, at the en trance to the straits of Gibraltar. It is believed that every soul aboard was lost. A man lashed to a spar has been washed upon the beach at Penzance. He was' almost completely exhausted, and it was impossible for him to utter a word. His fastenings were cut and he was removed to a dwelling, where a doctor was at once summoned to attend : him. Hopes are entertained that he will revive. ' ■ — ' '. , CONVENTION TICKETS.

New York, and Doran, of Minnesota, Secretary Sherin and Sergeantrat-Arms Bright, met here today with Messrs.. Hopkins, Palmer and Winston, repre senting the local committee. The meet ing was a secret one, but it is known a satisfactory agreement was reached re garding the matter of tickets of admis sion to the convention hall. The na tional subcommittee will meet with the full committee tomorrow, when further details will be discussed. Spanish Officials Fear Riots. Madrid, Feb. 22.— While the Span ish government is actively preparing for any uprising that may occur in May. there is a general fear in well-informed circles that the anarchists may not wait until May to prove by acts' of violence their resentment for the execution of their brethren at Xeres. A vigilant watch is maintained over the public offices and residences of leading govern ment officials, and the garrison at Bar celona has been greatly strengthened, it being feared that the disturbances may ' break out any moment. :. }'■ Formally Opened. Special to the Globe. r Wiixmab, Minn., Feb. 22.— The Cen- 4 tral hotel of this city was formally opened by a grand banquet and ball this, j evening, given by the merchants and' business men and was a grand success, about 125 couples participating, some on the leading citizens ot the state being present. This is one of the finest hotels in the state, the proprietor, H. E. Hardy, being well known. —■ Cruelty to Animals. Comic.

You may be chosen to public office. Do not shrink from it, for holding office is also a duty of citizenship. But do not leave your faith - behind you. Every public office, small or great, is held in trust for your fellow-citizens. They differ in importance, in responsibility and in the labor they impose; but the duties of none of them can be well per formed if the mentorship of a good con science and pure heart be discarded. Of course other equipment is necessary, but without this mentorship all else is insufficient. In times of • gravest re sponsibility it will solve your difficul ties;-in the most trying hour it will lead you out of perplexities, and it i will at all times deliver you from tempta tion; In conclusion, let me remind you that we may all properly learn the lesson appropriate to Washington's birthday, if we will; and that we shall fortify our selves against the. danger of falling short in the discharge of any duty per taining to citizenship, if being "thor oughly imbued with true American sentiment and the moral ideas which support it, we are honestly true to our selves.

Many stu- | dents took advantage of the great rush for admission, and disposed of their tickets readily at 65 each. Immediately following the lecture a popular recep tion was held by the distinguished guests at the court house, and later in the evening they returned to Detroit. On the trip from Detroit the ex-presi dent made himself acquainted with the noteworthy Michigan Democrats who accompanied him, and. while courteous, was firm in h»s refusal to be inter viewed. He was approoched by a cor respondent on the subject of the politi cal outlook in the South, but evaded the question by the remark that he did not mix- politics with pleasure. lie reiter ated his belief that the tariff would be the issue upon which the Democracy would go before the people this year. To .the question, "What about Hill?" he gave no reply, and to a similar ques- | tion, referring to Gen. Alger, he replied that he did not- believe, he was called upon at this time to pass his judgment upon any man. _ i INDIANAPOLIS TIED UP. Street Car Lines Are of No Use to the Public. Indiaxapolis, Feb. 22.— The street car tie-up in this city is complete.
