The romance that can be crowded into one

seven men's eyes, and succeeded in wheed

them. Other dramatic features of the case
are a proposed secret divorce and marriage,
the assassin's shot, and a second and sudden
elopement.
rsrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPA.TCII.1
New York, October 21. A drama in
real life, which combines the distinctive fea
tures of the Diss De Bar and Flack sensa
tions, with a touch of tragedy added, had
been slowly worked out almost to the last
act in this town, when an unexpected in
terruption not long ago put the principal
actors to flight The cohnedy had advanced
to this point
An adventuress who lias other wealthy
New YorK victims, has estranged a rich
contractor from his wife and family. She
had secured from him property amounting
. to almost a million; a secret divorce and
marriage had been considered: the real wife
had barely escaped an assassin's bullet
Then the wronged woman appeared on the
scene in vigorous defense of her rights. A
mass of startling evidence came into ber
possession, and man and mistress suddenly
left town.
WHO THE WOMAN IS.
Tbe real name of the woman in the case is
Caroline F. Wells. She was once, and
probably still is, the lawful wife of
Emmet Wells, a crot commission broker
of this city.
....... i
Her principal victim is George
F. Woolston, a contractor well-known
throughout the West as a builder of rail
roads and water works.
Previous to 1882 Mrs. Wells, as far as is
known, was a dutiful wife and a good
' woman. Her maiden name was Kelly,
which she sometimes spelled Kellie. She
was a bright ambitious, independent girl,
full of fun, yet not frivolous, aud generous
to a fault, though shrewd and careful in re
gard to money matters. The early death of
her mother threw unusual responsibilities
upon her shoulders, and she cared for her
two younger, sisters as few women could
have done.
About 15 years ago she married Emmet
Wells, who was then a prosperous hop
broker. So far as is known she was faithful
to him during the eight or nine years they
lived together, but their married life was
NOT FREE FROM STORM,
and in 1882 she left him, going West with
the intention of engaging in tiic cattle busi
ness. It is said that Mr. Wells consented to her
departure. His business had fallen off and
his income was less than in the earlier days
of their married life. She felt that she
knew enough of business principles to en
gage successfully in cattle raising. Their
house at 27 East One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street was sold, and with $8,000 pro
ceeds of the sale and $3,000 additional, she
started out to make her lortune. Before
going she told her husband that she would
return if she succeeded in her enterprise,
otherwise hewould not hear from her again.
Tears rolled by and there was no word
from the would-be "Cattle Queen," and her
friends looked upon her silence as evidence
of defeat She invested her money and lost
it, and became reckless. Womanly virtue
was apparently
THROWN TO THE WINDS,
and she soon began to live in greater luxury
than if she had remained with her husband.
She went out West as Mrs. Wells, and she
has since been known as Eauhn, Warner
Whittlesey, Willard, Wheeler, Martin and
Woolston.
She is now a woman of rather slight build,
but five feet three inches tall. She carries
Her 40 years with a dash and vivacity that
make her appear younger. She has large
and expressive gray eyes, and black hair.
Her shoulders are almost masculine in
breadth. She has always been a favorite
with men.
George F. Woolston is 43 years old. He
is a man of great energy and dogged per
sistence. He constructed the Wisconsin,
Iowa and Nebraska Eailroad, a large sec
tion of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
and portions of otber lines. His income
has averaged between $50,000 and $75,000
per year. His contracts are
ALL ON A BIG SCALE,
and lack of competition has enabled him to
make a much larger profit than could have
been secured in the East He has had as
many as lbree big contracts on hand at the
same time, all of which yielded handsome
returns.' In addition to his regular work,
h"e owns considerable property which pays
good dividends. He bought out the Stone
Cattle and Pasture Comoany, which owned
five counties in Texas, at a cost of
$500,000, and although he was work
ing in the interest of New York capi
talists, he made a good thing out 6t the
transaction. He ventured into another cat
tle, company and lost all that -he put in.
Many of his mining and railroad stocks
have yielded large returns, aud his losses
have been comparatively light
Mrs. Wells and Mr. Woolston first met
in the West about six years ago, but under
just what circumstance is not known. Alter I
asho
acquaintance she was introduced j
A
1
into Mr. "Woolston's family as Mrs. F. A.
Willard, of Boston, and he took pains to
spread the report that she was
A WEALTHY WIDOW
who wanted to invest her money in "West
ern property. The relations of the two be
came more and more intimate. It became
necessary for the "widow" to leave Mr.
Woolston's house, but he continued to
shend most of his time in her company in
other places.
Woolston deliberately proposed that he
maintain two households, treating both
women precisely alike financially. The wife
failed to consent to such an arrangement.
"Woolston was lavish in his gifts to his com
panion. He made her an allowance of $500
a month and all expenses, and she received
in addition, such presents as $500,000 worth
of railroad bonds and stock, $100,000 worth
of Consolidated Helena "Water "Works bonds,
550,000 of Ft Benton "Water Works bonds,
and large interests in the Plymouth Kock
Cattle Company and the Stone Pasture and
Grazing Company.
Mr. "Woolston, as the builder of big enter
prises in the "Western States, received in
part payment large blocks of stocks and
bonds, and many of these securities were
turned over to his mistress. Some of them
were
IOT WOKTH THEIK PACE VALUE,
but she ronld have realized enough from
their sale to make her independently rich.
Woolston and his companion, early in
July of the present year, went to board with
Prof. Houston, at "Wray's cottage, Sheeps
head Bay, nnder the names of Mr. and Mrs.
Walton. Mrs. "Woolston heard that they
were there, and went to see for herself.
"Mrs. Walton" was expecting her "hus
band," and as the carriage drove up to the
cottage she rushed to the door to welcome
him, but it was the injured wife, and for an
instant , the scene resembled a tableau in
high tragedy.
"Mrs Walton" was the first to speak. "I
don't know you," she exclaimed, loud
enough for Mrs. Heuston to hear; for that
lady had walked into the hall to see who
had come.
"Oh, yes, you do," replied Mrs. "Wools
ton. "You know who I am, and I know
perfectly well who you are."
The bogus wife turned to Mrs. Heuston
and said: "This woman claims to know
who I am. I
XEVEK SAW IIEE BEFOEE,
but I know who she is. She is crazy. She
was divorced from my husband seven years
ago, and she has been following us up ever
since. I shall not stay here another minute."
Then she started lor the back door, and
rushed out of the house bareheaded.
Mrs. "Woolston saw the escape, and enter
ing her carriage, ordered the driver to run
his horses to the station, but the fleeing
woman reached the station in time to catch
a train. Mrs. Woolston put detectives upon
her track, and then turned her attention to
the trunks which had been left behind.
She knew that certain papers belonging to
her had been carried off by her husband and
his mistress, aud she-secured a search war
rant which gave her the right to inspect the
trunks.
They were opened in the presence of sev
eral witnesses, and a mass of evidence was
revealed. One trunk was
FILLED WITH LOVE LETTEES
ana ousiness papers, juosi ot tnem were
adressed to -Mrs. O. F. Woolston" and to
"Mrs. G. F. "Woolston," but 'when thYlady
wuu aioue legally uore mat name reaa meni
she lound that tlley were intended for the
bogus wife. There were letters from Mr.
"Woolston which established his guilt even
without his confession. There were letters,
too, trom New York business men, showing
conclusively that their relations with this
same woman were, or had been, similar to
thoie oi Mr. Woolston.
There were memoranda showing what
presents she had received from each. One
man had furnished a nice house tor her up
town, and the dates of his letters showed
that it was during an absence of a few
months from Mr. Woolston. Another had
supplied her with diamonds. There were
letters, too, showing that certain men who
appeared to be friendly to Mr. Woolston,
and to assist him, were in reality conspiring
with her to get money from him.
STARTLING BEVEL ATIOJfS.
The revelations were of a startling nature
to the witnesses who assisted in overhauling
me trunks, xnese leuers were reaa ny all
present. They found also papers showing
some shady business transactions, but they
were not permitted to take them. The
officers would allow Mrs. Woolston
to take only papers that belonged
to her. As soon as she and her
friends had left the cottage, the trunks were
claimed by a friend of Mr. Woolston, and
they were then taken where Mrs. "Woolston
would not again have a chance to get hold
of them.
Mrs. Wells, or, as she was then called,
Mrs. Walton, after dodging the detectives a
few days, went first to Pittsburg, took the
trunks, and was soon lost in the West
The most serious evidence found was in re
lation to a divorce which was being cooked
up in order to becure a separation from the
legal wife.
"When Mr. Woolston told his wife of his
relations with this woman he
SUGGESTED A SEPARATION-,
and told her shemight allege whatever she
chose. He promised not to contest the case.
Mrs. Woolston did not take advantage of
this, and the letters between the husband
and his mistress showed that she
was doing all in her power
to force the husband and wife apart
In this she was aided by others. Mr Wool
ston himself seemed to hold back, but the
woman would not consent to delay, and at
last he started the legal machinery. The
first evidence thatsuch a course was to be
pursued was lound in a letter from a lawyer
named C. Harold Fife, of Vicksburg, Miss.
Lawyer Fife said he could get a divorce
quietly in six weeks, without Mr. W.'s
presence. The fee would be S25 at first, and
75 additional if the divorce was obtained.
In a letter dated Boston, December 17,
1887, Mr. Woolston wrote in reply to a com
plaining letter from his mistress that he
must spend some time with his boys, but he
hoped and believed the time would not be
far distant when he could have them and
her together. When he is in New York
Mr. Woolston makes the store of Morse &
Bogers, 134 and 136 Duane street,
his headquarters. Mr. Frank E.
Eogers, the jnnior partner, is
connected with Mr. Woolston in several
schemes, and the latter entrusts him with
the management of his domestic affairs.
Mr. Bogers has been active in the affairs of
Mr. and Mrs. Woolston, as his letters in the
trunk show. There were other letters, too,
which he had written to Mr. Woolston's
mistress, which might have made trouble if
Mr. Woolston had seen them.

tFrKCIAL TELEGRAM TO TOT DMPATCH.I
Boston, October 21. The real wife of
George F. Woolston is a quiet, refined
woman, of about 35 years. She lives in
Boston, with her two children, in a well
appointed house in the Back Bay district
When The Dispatch eorresnonflentnalli.
upon Mr. Woolston for a verification of
her story of her, husband's infatuation, she
said after a long silence:
Yesthe story is true. I cannot imagine how
The Dispatch got its Information, lor I have
tried hard to keep tbe matter quiet For the
sake of my children I hare fcorno what few
women would have endured. This adventuress
has come between my husband and myself, and
has completely blinded him.. My husband was
a good man before she began to make trouble
for us. He was gooa to me and to the boys,
and we lived happily together, Mr. Woolston
is very domestic in his habits, and thought a
great deal ot bis home. I believe that he still
loves me. and that he will come back to me. I
have avoided making a scene because I hoped
for a reconciliation with my husband. In spite
ol ms transgressions, J will lorgive mm, u ne
wl 1 return to his home.
The anxiety and loss of sleep during ray hus
band's Illness left mo very weak, ana when he
went off with that woman my strength gavo
way and I was pnt on tbe sick list As soon as
I hid partially recovered my strength I
learned that they were preparing to
go ont West together, and started at
once for New York, although I was
much too sick a woman to travel. Wben I
reached New York I had such a blinding head
ache that I could not go to my friend's house,
ana asked to betaken to the Grand Union
Hotel. Then I .firmly believe an attempt was
made to have me confined as an insana person,
and I am convinced that this woman was at the
bottom of the plot My son met mo at the sta
tion, and secured a room for me.
A DEEP LAID PLOT.
I went to sleep, and when I awoke I found a
strange woman in my room. I demanded an
explanation of .her presence, and she said she
was the nurse. 1 had engaged no nurse, and
told her to leave, but she only smiled, and sat
down. I got out of bed for tbe purpose of
calling assistance, and just then a young
man came into tbe room. He was
a doctor, so he said, but he did not act like one.
He told me 1 was insane, and then began to
pry Into my family affairs. Of course 1 did
not tell him anything, but I asked him what
right he had in my room. He said he had been
engaged to attend me, but refused to say who
had given the orders. I strugcled to get up,
and he and the nurse held me down. Then he
injected some mornbine into my arm, and said
that would keep me qniet, but it dia not. My
head ached so hard that I remained awake,
but after the doctor had gone I pretended to
sleep to see what the nurse would do. She sat
in a chair at tKa foot of the bitd and kept her
eyes on me for a while. But it"was not long be
fore she went to sleep, and she slept so soundly
that I got up without arousing her.
I had f ome paper and envelopes in mT hand,
which they had left in the room, and it didn't
take me very long to write notes to my friends
explaining my predicament Then I got back
into bed and pretended to go to sleep. It was
quite late when the nurse awoke, and she
jumped up as though she had been shot Sbe
seemed greatly relieved to find me in bed. I
told her I was hungry and wanted something
to eat and as she was going ont
of the room I gave her tbe notes
and asked her to mail them. She took them
without saying a word. I thought I could tell
by her actions whether or not there was any
crookeaness in regara to tne watcu mat -nas
being kept over tne. She went out of the room,
but almost immediately ihe ran back and eyed
me shai ply, as if suspecting some trick. Then
she left .i second time. I was convinced that
she was playing me false, and after a brief
search I found my letters, crushed into a small
wid, lying behind the sink.
MADE A PRISONER.
That satisfied me that all was not straight,
and made me all the more anxious to get out of
tbe hotel. When she went nut she locked tbe
door and took tbe key. I opened the window
and threw the letters into the street, 'Tiopfag
that somebody would find tbemand would drop
tbem into tbe mail box. The results were as X
bad hoped. The nurse was evidently listening,
outside the door, for the slight noise I made In
closing the window brought her rushing back
into tbe room. "What are you doing at that
window?" she shouted. I told herl haa discov
ered her treachery, and had dropped tbe letters
into tbe street ''She was furious wben she
beard that and seizing my arms, she dragged
me back to tbe bed and threw me upon it sit
ting down upon me so that I could hardly
move. She treated, me very roughly and hurt
me considerably. &
While she was holding me down the doctor
came in. He did not seem very surprised, bn
merely asked- St Iliad crown TioIsnk"'13ien
the woman 'told.uim-what-iESombne he ap
peared very anxious, and told the nurse to re
lease me, at tbe same time saying, "we must
get out of here." Then be came to me and
said that he was very sorry for tbe misunder
standing;(that he had taken tbe case honestly,
believing that I was insane, as had
been represented to him: that be was convinced
of my sanity, and that he hoped Lwould pardon
him, etc I was in such a hurry to have him go
that I didn't pay much attention to what Ee
did say. The nurse tied on her bonnet and left
without a word, and be followed. They couldn't
have got out of the hotel when my own doctor
arrived. He had been tbere once before,
but had been refused admission. When he got
my note, which somebody Lmdly mailed, he re
turned in a nurry, ana insistea upon coming
into the room. The same persons who had en
gaged the nurse and doctor for me bad left
word at the hotel office that nobody must be al
lowed to go into mv room.
After I reached my friend's bouse the reac
tion came, and I was quite sick."
"Did thev ever attempt to injure you in any
other way?"
ATTEMPTED MURDER.
"An attempt was made to shoot we, last Au
gust when I was on my way to join my hus
band in tbe West At the time I did not pay
much attention to it but later developments
make me positive that deliberate murder was
planned. Tbe train was just leaving
Pittsfield, when a bullet crashed through
tbe window. It came just as I stooped
forward to pick up something, and buned
itself in the opposite side or tbe car. If 1 bad
not changed my position the bullet would have
gone through my temple. I did not think it
was anything more than an accident, at
the time, but when I was overhauling this
woman's trunk I found a scrap ot paper
that had evidently been torn from some letter,
in which that shooting affair was mentioned.
I had never told a soul of it Then I concluded
that the bullet was fired more through design
than by accident"
"Do you know where your husband is now?"
"I believe he has just received some con
tracts from the Wisconsin Construction Com
pany, whose office is in Boston, and I am told
that he is in somewhere around Wyoming Ter
ritory. I don't know tbe exact location."

The Dispatch publishes exclusively
this morning a drawing and description of
the most comprehensive and striking of de
signs, to outdo the Eiffel tower at the
World's Fair in America. Photo-engraving
has reduced it more than one-half from a
small sketch, so that the fine work in detail
cannot be shown. But that its dome alone
would accommodate 25,000 people on in
augural occasions, is surely significant as to
its size and utility.
JPFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCn.1
Washington, October 21. If the Eiffel
Tower in Paris has attracted the attention
ot the whole world, Mr. Charles Kinkel, a
Washington architect, recently of the office
ttfilS SICTON
THE KINKEL TOWER HOW IT LOOKS
of the Supervising Architect of the Treas
ury, has designed a tower for the Three
Americas Exposition of 1892 which so far
surpasses the Paris structure that there is
no comparison. The correspondent of The
Dispatch has just secured for the exclu
sive nse of the paper an illustration of the
plan, with a comparison of its height with
that of the two next highest elevations. In
describing the plans to your correspondent
to-day Mr. Kinkel said:
The Eiffel Tower is not at aU an original or
new idea. In the year ISO, for use at the Cen
tennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, came the
first idea, from Messrs. Clarke, Reeves & Co.,
of Phoonixville, Pa., to erect an iron tower of
1,000 feet high (see the Scientific American of
January 24, 1871, which gavo a general view of
the proposed tower as compared with the other
noted iron structures), and to tbem is due tbe
credit of the bold and original construction of
such a lofty iron tower. It was circular in plan.
150 feet diameter at tbe base, and diminishing
by a uniform taper to SO feet at tbe top. It was
composed externally or 20 inclined 11-incb,
wrought iron.so-called Phcenix columns, united
at intervals of about SO feet by horizontal
stmts, each ot the panels thus formed having
two intersecting diagonal ties
TO EESIST A WIND PEESSUEE
estimated at 60 pounds per square foot, which,
with the maximum load of persons on tbe
tower, was not expected to produce a pressure
of more than 6,000 pounds per square Inchon
the metal of the lowest tier of columns. A
central tube, SO feet in diameter, composed of
20 smaller columns, and surrounded by spiral
saircases. contained four elevators, which
were intended to be capable of carrying 600
peopleper hour.
Mr. Eiffel is entitled to credit however, not
only for having successfully carried out the
conception by varying the inclination of tbe
component piers, but also to eliminating the
wind braces aud securing a more satisfactory
outline.
Ike sketch design given herewith of a 1,600
foot iron tower, proposed for tbe great World's
Exhibition of the Three Americas in the year
1892, is offered without making any claim of
priority. It is intended only to show to tbe
whole world the immense resources of the
metal-producing and manufacturing capacity
of the New World.
I had not only the great height of the tower
In view, but my idea was the principal feature
of a dome or. cuppla, the equal ot which in size
could not be found in any of the buildings of
the wbolo earth, and principally to have a use
ful hall for the vast assembly of people at the
inaugurations of tbe Presidents and other
large assemblies at tbe Capital.
WONDERFULLY COMMODIOUS.
The dome or cupola in the center of the tower
measures inside 280 feet 'diameter, equal to
about 61,675 square feet surface, by 2C0 feet high
In the clear, with three large galleries, two be
tween tbo arches and one at the beginning of
the cupola, with a space for more than 25.000
people. The external diameter of this big tower
at the base, circular In plan, is W0. feet dimin
ishing to 80 feet at tbe top. and is formed of 16
legs or ribs in sections ot 33 feet 4 inches high,
with lattice street girders at each interval to
form floors. The central tube of the tower
above tbe cupola is GO feet in diameter, and has
two staircases, leading up the whote height, 5
leetwlde with IS steps from platform to plat
form, and entrance doors to the.elght elevators.
The lower part or frontage of the tower is
800 feet high, and provided with 8 s large stair
cases and 16 elevators. Tbe legs or rips of the
tower are constructed of plate angle and flat
iron and braces of lattice work.and all made iu

bition and other purposes, with large and wide

secondary in point of interest to the town of
'Pullman itself. After the inspection was
over, the guests were assembled in the
theater and Mr. Doty, who is an employe of
the car company, briefly described the in
ception and growth ot this wonderful town,
which unlike till others, was not the result of
accidental circumstances and gradual accre
tion, but sprung into complete existence in

that the town represented the successful

Delegate Trescott said that he did not feel

A SYMPATHL RACKET
Believed by Ohio Democrats to be
Foraker's Present Scheme.
NOT SO ILL AS HE" SEEMS TO BE,
And Senator Sherman to be Kept Promi
nently in the Foreground.
THE OHIO CAMPAIGN SOW AN ENIGMA.
A Prominent Officeholder Raising Funds for Mzhone's
Fight
Ohio Democrats are Inclined to think that
Governor Foraker's present illness is to be
worked for all it is worth to gain sympathy
for him in his race for re-election. This
belief is strengthened by the prominence
given to SenatorSherman in the campaign.
General Goff says West "Virginia is no
longer a Democratic State.
tErECIALTrtlOUAit TO THE DISPATCn. 1
Columbus, O., October 2L The condi
tion of Governor Foraker to-night is pro
nounced unchanged. He has been very
sick, and at one time Saturday was consid
ered dangerously ilL All the symptoms of
peritoritis were prominent, but the crisis
was passed. The Bepublican Committee
has canceled bis campaign appointments
for this week, and the.point it being seri
ously discussed among the leaders whether
it will Jbe policy for him to return to the
stump again during the campaign.
Foraker has been doing too much, some
times speaking as many as four times a
day at as many different places. The com
mittee has been custodian of the informa
tion regarding his illness, aud there was an
interest of the ticket, but the demand for
news made it impossible to continue this
course. The Bepublicaus now seem to
have
taken the opposite couese
and will get what they can in the wav of
sympathy for the Governor's prostration.
While there maybe no method in his ill
ness, the Democratic leaders believe that
the Republicans have taken advantage of
the siU.-.i"n to shove Senator Sherman to
the front in the campaign, and make him
the towering figure instead of Foraker. By
this course ft is sought to allay the Sherman
defection in the State and an element of
opoition to Foraker which has come down
from the Chicago convention. In view of
the overflowing meetings Sherman is hav
ing, the Democrats are not satisfied, but the
scheme to push Sherman to the front in the
closing days of the campaign, is good Be
publican politics, and will have its effect
Sherman is proluse in compliment for the
Republican standard bearer. His meeting
Tiere Friday evening next will rival
that at Cincinnati last Saturday night
The candidates for postmasters and
aspirants for Federal office are flocking to
Sherman, and they will do as hs says. The
Democracy has conceived the, idea of off
setting this influence as far as possible, and
to this end Kill take Judge Thurman to
Cincinnati, Thursday evening, for his-opening
speech. Great preparations are being
made. He will solidify the "mossback'
element for Campbell.

the Democrats to carry the General Assem
bly has been removed and it is believed they
will make little effort in that di
rection. Many Democrats concede, as
all Bepubllcans claim, that the Legis
lature will be Bepublican, and
this result does not necessarily depend upon
which way Cincinnati and Hamilton county
may go. Charles Foster is to-day the hap
piest man engaged in Ohio politics. He is
conceded the Senatorship by Bepublicans of
all classes if the Legislature is secured. J.
H. Thomas, of Springfield, the wealthy
manutacturer, is the only Democrat who is
making any outward effort to secure the
Legislature in the hope of personal benefit
The Democratic Committee is taking little
interest in the Legislative fight Direct in
formation from both headquarters, to-night,
is that all the Democratic force and ma
chinery is being concentrated against
Foraker. There is no doubt about this. The
Governorship is
THE ONLY THING LEPT
by which the Democratic workers can bene
fit in the least The Senatorship has no
patronage for the masses, while the Gov
ernorship has. There are strong evidences
that the Democrats will trade local and
Legislative timber for State provender.
The Bepublicans view with alarm the
efforts which have been made by the Demo
crats, in the past few days, to array the
liqnor organizations against Foraker. This
is feared more than any other balance of
power, viewed from a Bepnblican stand
point While nothing has been accom
plished yet, it is believed the whisky and
brewery interests will organize and take a
hand. They snrelv would, were the T,pfn'u
lature, instead of the head of tbe ticket, the
bone of contention.
There are so many element at work in
the campaign that the experts are at a loss
in making figures. Theythinkif they could
count on the per cent of gain which would
result from the scratching of Foraker, and
had any surety that any considerable num
ber of the disaffected would cast their votes
for uampbell, it would be a question easy
of solution. But the Bepublican malcon
tents are going to be satisfied with running
Foraker behind bis ticket

from what can be observed, this element
will draw about equally from the two great
parties.

The Ohio situation, as it stands to-night,

IEPICIAL TELEOBAAt TO TOI DISPATCH. I
NewToek, October21. General Nathan
Goff, Governor-elect of West Virginia, on
the face ot the official returns, was at the
Filth Avenue Hotel to-day. In conversa
tion with a reporter about'a forthcoming re
port of the committee which investigated
the charges that the election was not fair,
and that many illegal voters had been
rushed in on the day of the election from
old Virginia, he said that be had no idea
when the result of its work would be made
known. Tbere are three Democrats and
two Bepubllcans on the committee. General
Goff said that he fully believed that the
committee would have to declare him the
legally elected Governor, if it ever made a
report In the meantime a Democratic
Governor is holding over, and the commit
tee does not seem to be in a hurry to do any-

Washington, October 2L The "Old

dated from the headquarters of the league
reciting thatas citizens of Virginia, they

FULLER POR 1892.
Colonel Bae Thinks the Chief Justice Would

' Hon for President Why He
Suggested HIa Name.
Chicago, October 21. Colonel Bobert
Bae, the man who suggested Chief Justice
Melville Fuller for the Presidency on the
Democratic ticket in 1892, in a speech be
fore the Andrew Jackson League' last week:
here, strolled into tbe Grand Pacific Hotel
this aiternoon, puffing a cigar. He was at
once met by several anxious to obtain an
expression from him of bis reasons for advo
cating the name of the Chief Justice.
""Inave seen the interview had with Jus
tice Fuller," he said, "but'Igee that it was
not concluded. Ot course; he could not say
anything else. He was asked point blank
if he wis a candidate. Of course, he is a ot
A Chief Justice would hardly be a standing
candidate lor any position, but it would be
another tiling to have asked him if he would
accept tbft' nomination. We don't know
either what he was about to say when tbe
interview- abruptly closed. -PojijMIr ke was
about to. sa-rlfwaa-'not'comnatlWe witkhh

"But J. know from, the "Chief 'Justice's
personal friends," said Colonel Bae, "that
he is not unfriendly to the connection of his
oame-with the nomination. jPhcr truth is
the Chief Justice is more of a politician than
a-lawyer, and he has always been an out
and out party man. He has never opposed
a single Democratic measure and has always
stood with the party."
Colonel Bae says he did nothing more
than suggest Justice Fuller's name. "I
said that it Illinois became a closely doubt
ful State it would be well for the Demo
cratic party to suggest a candidate from it
General Parmer is too old, and I doubted if
Colonel Morrison was in a position to con

cure the nomination. Fuller was and is
the most available man. He certainly c an
not take a step down from the Supreme
B ench to accept such a nomination."
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION WORK.

Hew Yokk, October 21. In the Protes

to suspend the order of the day and consider

ple was lost The report in favor of ceding
a portion of the dioceteof Michigan and
making it a missionary diocese was adopted.
Dr. Hart's motion that the Honse of Depu

to the marriage service was lost A prayer
for patience nnder suffering was next
adopted. The second section in the com
munion of tbe sick providing that "In the
times of contagions sickness or disease, or
wben extreme weakness renders it ex
pedient, a short prayer suffice," was adopted
with the proposal to substitute the word
pastor for minister in the communion ser
vice. Tbe Deputies refused to concur.
The first section in tbe order for tbe burial
of the dead was adopted, the second voted
down. The sub-section omitting the selec

A MILLIONAIRE BEHIND BARS.
One of Chicago's Iiich Men Arrested for
Cruelty to Anteals.
CHICAGO, October 21. Old Peter Muel
ler, the millionaire, who is perhaps the odd
est character-in Chicago, was arrested this
morning and locked np at the Twelfth street
"station. His offense against the laws was
driving his old horse through the streets,
harnessed to as rickety a wagon as ever clat
tered over Chicago paving stone. The poor
old horse was well started toward deatn by
starvation. His backbone climbed up aud
down like a mountain road, and bis ribs
were aa prominent as sign posts. The bones
on the horse's shoulders and hips had forced
through the skin, and the wounds bad been
terribly galled by the harness. The hairs
in the. mane and tail were matted together
by burdock: burrs.
Mueller said he was abused, and declared
he would not go to the station, but he was
unceremoniously hundlcd into the patrol
wagon and carried there. A- lusty officer
helped the horse drag the wagon to the same
place. Mueller owns a large tract of land
inside the city Hmit3, and its rise in value
has made him rich.
