SBTTRG DISPATCH, .SUNDAY. OCTOBER 12. LIKE MJpCHE The Farmers' Alliance is Sweep- ing Everything Before It in Minnesota. A NEW POWER IN POLITICS. Harrison, Blaine and Others Hasten ing to Help McKinley. DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS SCARCE. l'roors of Corrnption Governor Campbell Has Gathered Up TO PRESENT TO THE OHIO LEGISUTOEE tFriaxi. TELronAM to ths DisrATcn.1 St. Paul, October 1L The Guberna torial candidate who receives 100,000 votes in the Minnesota election, a little more than three weeks hence, will sit in the Govern or's chair trom the hrst Tuesday in January nest. The contest is a three-cornered one, which grows more complicated and doubt ful every day. When the Farmers' Alliance placed a full State ticket in the field on a low tariff plaVorm in July, the movement was recog nized as that of an earnest, determined body of citizens, and members of the old parties were disposed to credit it with from 20,000 to 25,000 votes. More than 1,000 alliances had been formed and organized, and the total membership of the State was footed at 42,000; but the impression was general tnat but little more than half of these would cast their ballots tor S. M. Owen, the Alli ance candidate for Governor. That even the shrewdest calculators were in error has already been amply proven. The Alliance vote will not atop at 2."i,000, or 30,000, or 50,000, or 60.000. The new party is gather ins: strength from the most unexpected quarters. MECHANICS, MILT-MEN AND MINERS. It will get not only the bulk of the vote in the great farming communities of Polk, Kittson, Clay, Otfer Tail and Norman coun ties, but will poll hundreds of votes in the railwavjshoDs at Brainerd,in the iron mines on the Vermillion range and in the mills of Minneapolis. In a word, the number of Alliance men does not begin to measure the Alliance vote. The Countv Alliance has dimply proved a nucleus about which the farmer and industrial vote is rallying. The County Alliance is but the snowball rolling through and gathering strength as it pro ceeds. An Alliance organization has furnished the machinery, but the power is that great leeling o! unrest and dissatisfaction under which the farmer of Minnesota has chafed for jears, and which, though finding frequent expressions in a small way, has at length burst ail bounds. Will this new movement overwhelm the old parties at the first at tempt? Many of the Alliance leaders say it will. W. W. Erwin, the leading criminal lawyer of Minnesota, who deserted the Republican party to join the Alliance ranks, has just returned from Southern Minnesota, where he lias made a two weeks' stumping tour. He savs the Alliance is as sure to win the fight as tlie sun is to rise on election morning. It is, he insists, "ONLY A QUESTION OP MAJORITY," and predicts that Owen will lead both Mer- riam ana iIon and lie elected bv from from 10,000 to 30,000 plurality. General James Baker, Alliance candidate lor Con gress in the Second district, makes an equal ly sanzuine report, and Mr. Owen said in an interview this week tnat be was contem plating the probability of his election with a creat deal ot trepidation, as the farmers expected so many reforms that an attempt to please them all uould prove a burden of large proportions. The chance;, however, are still rather in favor of one of the old parties. Democratic and Hepublica . speakers are flooding the State in every direction, and the tide which has set so strongly in favor of the Alliance is likely to ebb to some extent. The vote of the State in 18S8 was 262,000. In the Gubernatorial contest it stood Eepublican 134,000; Democratic, 110,000; Prohibition, 18,000. This res r tlieinte is expected to run about 255,000. Oi this not more than 3,000 will be lor J. P. Pinkham, 'he Prohi bition candidate. I-BOM THE OLD PARTIES. The Alliance vote is now expected to run about 70,000, leaving 80,000 for the old par ties. Winch will get the major part of this is a question which only the casting of the ballots can decide. It is conceded that 70 per cent or the Alliance men were for mer Republicans, but of the Industrial Union vote, which has deserted to the Alli ance, nearly 80 per cent was formerly Demo cratic. Local questions ire also havinc a great weight. Several ot the acts of Governor Merriant, during his first term, have proven distasteful to Duluth, and the result is that only one of the five tiaily papers there, al- tnougn an are Republican, supports the Governor for re-election. In Minneanolis the census quarrel is still rankling, and Governor Merriam will lose heavily on the tMiujui; urouim tnat ue is a St. 1'aul man. Two oi the Flour CitvdMIiei support Oa-ea, and the Tribune alone gives Merriam a lukewarm support. The prediction is free ly made that Mrnam will receive not more than 7,000 or 8,000 of the 35,000 votes of the city and county, and that Owen will have a larger following tnan AVilson, the Demo crat. THE TWO RIVAL CITIES. In St Paul, on the other hand, there is a general disposition to stand by Merriam on the strjnge and amusing ground that if Minneapolis should, during this winter's legislative session, engineer a combination and pats a measure or the removal of the capital, Governor Merriam, as a St. Paul man, would stop the high-hauded proceed ing with a handy veto. The opposition to Governor Merriam because ot alleged use of "boodle" against MtGill in securing his nomination in lfc88, and that to Judge Wil son because he has been for many years a railroad attorney, is having but slight effect upon the camp lign, and it is not unlikely that some one of the netty local quarrels may throw votes enough to decide tiie contest. The struggle for control of the Legislature is being Hatched with great interest. The present outlook is that the Alliance and Democrats will control the State Senate and that the Republicans will have a small ma jority in the House. The Senators hold their oflice Jour years and will have a voice in the selection of a successor to United States Senator C. K. Davis. BLOODSHED AT THE POLLS. A Fear That Violence May Result From the Tillman Campaign. -EPECIAI. TLLLGHAMTv TUB DISPATCn.l Charleston, S. C, October 1L Politi ail talk here since the nomination of Judge IIakell by the anti-Tiliman Democrats and the almost certain support that it will get irom the Republicans, has assumed a sacguinarr hue. Tillman and his partvsay that the negroes will not be allowed to" vote the Haskell ticket. The Haskell party say thry shall not only be allowed to vole it if they like, but that they will be protected in doing so. That the Tillmanitesare frightened is evidenced by their application to the Governor to give them the control of the commissioners and managers of election. These were appointed some time oeiore .unman s nomination, I and are composed mostly of straigbtout Democrats. When Tillman got the nomi nation his convention demanded of Gov ernor Richarnson to remove his appoint ees and appoint Tillmanitex. The Gov erner refused. Now they are begging it as a favor and the Governor still refuses. The situation is, therefore, this: The Has kell Democrats have control of the machin ery of elections, and there can be no doctor ing of the returns or suppression of the negro vote, unless with their connivance, which is not probable. As to bloodshed, it may be said that It is extremely probable in some of the upper counties. ' If the Till manites attempt to frighten the negroes away from the polls with violence it is sure to be resisted by the Haskellite. There is not much danger in the lower tier of coun ties, where the Tillmauites are not so numerous. THE BATTLE IS RAGING. VETERAN CAMPAIGNERS TO HELP MAJOR MKINLEY OUT. Fresldent Harrison tends an Oar by Agree ing to Hold Five Receptions Blaine Speaks October 25 Democratic Talent Seems Hard to Get. -SI-ECIM. TILIOItAM TO THE DISrATCH.l Canton, October 11. The Sixteenth Ohio district Congressional contest assumes greater interest. President Harrison, en route from Indianapolis to Washington, will make stops for receptions at Wooster, Orrville, Canton and two other places Mon day. The points are along the Fort Wayne line of the Pennsylvania system and in Wayne and Stark counties, which, with Holmes and Medina, comprise the MeKin-ley-Warwick battle ground. Arrange ments are being made for a Presidental greeting by G. A. R. posts and citizens at all these places. At Canton the President will stop 2o minutes and make an address irom a temporary stand to be erected. A telegram was received from Secretary Blaine this evening stating the date for his first speech in the Ohio campaign. At Canton, October 2j, suits him exactly. He asks that his appointment for the second speech be not made until later. Congress man Smyser, manager of McKinley's cam paign, hm informed the Stat Committee that McKinley cannot speak at Cincinnati October 23, as had been arranged, and a new date will have to be agreed upon. Speaker Reed will be in Stark county October 17. General Alger is booked for Fredcriekburg, Wayne county, for his first address next Tuesday. McKinley was to have been with him, "but Congressman Burrows, of Michigan, came here to-day to claim him for two addressesin his district at Kalamazoo and Three Riven Monday and Tuesday next. McKinley has averaged three speeches a day this week, and holds up well. Burrows will return with bim AVednesday and fill dates in this district. TJncle Jerry Rusk is also down for several days' more work, and Consul John Jarrett will be on deck Monday. Since Senator Carlisle's failure to show up at Orrville Thursday at the Democratic Fair day, the Warwick managers have been at great disadvantage. Carlisle, Breckin ridge, Voorhees and others had been an nounced but are not coming to time. Gov ercor Hill is announced for a Canton speech October 21. The campaign is growing redhot. March ing clubs are forming everywhere. Bulletin boards with posters, documentiry cam paigning, and now the oratorical talent coming will make the contest a memorable one and Republican confidence grows that McKinley will overcome the 2,000 odds against him. CAMPBELL 18 LOADED. Affidavits and Receipts He Holds to Show Cincinnati Frauds. ISrECIAL TELEQItAU TO TUB DISPATCIl. 1 Columbus, October 11. Governor Campbell this evening received by express the affidavits and letters of Sol. P. Kitieon, of Cincinnati, who is credited with having offered to sell for $5,000 the votes of Reeme lin, Dorham and Montgomery, members of the Board of Improvement of Cincinnati. The Governor refnses to give out lor publi cation the affidavit or letter. The Governor also to-day received a letter from Frank J. Kelly, Secretary of the Hamilton County Democratic Executive Committee, in which he states that all along he has been opposed to the Governor, but now he would give him his support in an effort to give Cincinnati an honest govern ment. Campbell tore the letter up, as he does not consider Kelly an honest man. A prominent State official, whose home is in Hancock countv. said at Findlav to-dav to friends, that the Governor has in his po session not less than 75 receipts for money paid members of the Cincinnati Board of Public Improvements, for po&itionf within their gifts. These receipts are iu the hand writing of the members charged with being dishonest, and will be submitted by the Governor, with his message to the General Assembly on Tuesday. The gen tleman giving this information did so with out knowing that it would reach the pub lic. It was brought out in the course of an argument to prove that Campbell was justi fied in taking the heioic course he did. These receipts from members, paid for places under the board, he said, formed the basis for the Governor's original demand for Reemlen's resignation. The gentleman added that they were proof sufficient to every member of the Legislature, to join in the Governor's effort to get rid of a gang of thieves in Cincinnati. Republicans Get Everything. Washington, October 11. A private dispatch from Governor Warren, of Wvom ing, gives the following results ot the offi cial canvass of the vote of that State made at Chevenne to-day: The Republicans elect every State officer and their member ot Con gress. Nominations for Congress. Ok ahoma Colonel J. G. McCoy (Dem., lone term), Assemblyman Matthews (Dem., short term). Second Massachusetts Bushrod W. Morse (Dem.). Fifth California E. F. Loud (Rep.). LAST DAY OF THE SESSION. Close of the Meeting of the American Board of Missions. Minneapolis, October 11, The eighty first annual meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions closed at noon to-day. The real work of the board was completed on Friday, as the business of yesterday morning's session con sisted merely in receiving a few reports on missions, adopting resolutions, memorial izing Congress to take steps looking to the universal prohibition of exportation of alcoholic liquors to all uncivilized and half civilized peoples. At the close of the busi ness President Cyrus Northrop, of the Minnesota State University, bade the board a formal good bye. Dr. E, S. Storrs replied feelingly, after -which the session closed with the customary religious exercises. In the afternoon a large number of the delegates visited St. Paujand were driven abont that city in carriages," returning at 5 o'clock. They were given a reception at Plymouth Church in the evening. Most of the city pulpits will be filled to-morrow by members of the board. FLYNN TTKT.ti FOR MURDER. The Coroner Committs Him for Stabbing John Bothwell in Allegheny. Coroner McDowell yesterday committed William Flynn to jail to await trial for the murder of John Bothwell, Jr., at the honse of Mrs. Kate Fox, Evans alley, Allegheny, on Thursday evening. Mrs. Fox testified that BOtbwell was in her honse on Thursday evening. Flynn came in and insulted her and the made him leave the honse. When he got outside he called to her to send Bothwell out. The latter went outside and "both men began fighting. Flynn stabbed Bothwell three times, got op on his wagon and drove away, A COMMON INTEREST. JContinued From First Page. counties. This afternoon the meeting was at Clarion. Special efforts were made to secure big turnouts, free excursion trains being run and a banner offered to the town ship sending the largest delegation. The result was rather discouraging. The princi pal train, with accommodations for COO per sons, was only half filled, and the banner went to a township that has only 43 Repub lican voters. The meeting was addressed by Senator Delamater and the other candidates and by District Attorney Graham, of Philadelphia. Mr. Delamater 'reiterated with emphasis the statement that he is no man's man. This evening a largely attended meeting was held at B rook vi lie." Senator Delamater and those with him made speeches. A FREMONT REPUBLICAN CLUB Organized at Meadt Hie and Fledged to Sup port Delamater. IFrEClAl, TELKOKAJI TO TUB DISPATCH.! Meadvillr, October 11. A large meet ing of men who voted lor John C. Fremont in 1856 was held at the Court House in this city to-day, and the Fremont Republican Club of Crawlord county was organized. By unanimous vote James Randolph, of East Fallowfield township, was made Presi dent, and J.W. Hannen, of this city. Sec retary. Ringing speeches were made by Hon. S. N. Pettis and Hon. A. B. Rich mond, in which the mention of Senator Delamater and protection were greeted with cheers. The following resolution was unani mously adopted: Resolved, That we reaffirm our allegiance to the Republican party and their principles as enunciated since its infancy in 1856, and de clare our determination to aid in the election of its candidate at the ensuing election on No vember i. BE0SIUS SPEAKS AT ERIE. He Reviews the AVork of Congress and Pleads for Party Success. SPECIAL TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Ekie, October 11. The Republicans of this place were addressed this evening by Hon. Marriott Brosius and J. H. Lenhart, Esq., of Philadelphia. Hon. S. M. Brain ard presided at the meeting. Mr. Brosius reviewed the work of the present Congress, spoke of protection as being one of the car dinal principles of the Republican party. He said the Republican nominee for Gov ernor was not the choice of anyone man, but that he had been nominated after a beated campaign, after which the opposing candidates had joined in the support of their party nominee. This, he said, was a positive indication that the nomination of Delamater was a fair and square selection of the party convention. The Democratio nomination, he said, was a cut and dried affair, because the party had but one man who rose to the dignity of an aspirant for that position. Brunner Will Ban Again. Reading, October 11. Congressman Brunner was renominated to-day from the Ninth district. THE RECORDING OF TRADEMARKS. Instructions to Customs Officers on a New Tariff Regulation. Washington, October 11. Assistant Secretary Spanlding, ot the Treasurv De partment, has issued a circular to officers of the customs and others calling atten tion to section 7, of the new tariff law, providing that on and after March 1, 1691, no article of imported merchandise which shall copy or simuUte the name or trade mark of any domestic manufacture or manufacturer shall be admitted to entry at United States Custom Houses. In order to aid the customs officers in enforcing this prohibition it is Erovided that a domestic manufacturer, who as adopted trade marks may require his name and residence and a description of his trade mark to be recorded in books kept for that purpose in the Treasury, and mav fur nish ' the department fac-similes of such trade marks. The circular says that a feufficient number of fac similes should be forwarded to ena ble the department to send one copy to each port named iu the application. HULVET IS ARRESTED. Sned by fho National Phillies to Recover Alleged Advance Money. Philadelphia, October 11. Suit was entered to-day by the Philadelphia National League Baseball Club against Joseph Mulvev, third baseman of the local Brotherhood club, to recover $1,200, alleged to have been paid to Mulvey in December, 1889, as "advance money." 3Iulvey signed a contract to play during the season of 1890 for a salary of 52,760, and the 51,250 was advanced at the time of signing. Mulvey was arrested on the capias this afternoon, and bail in the sum of $1,500 for his appearance in court was entered by J. Earle Wagner, President of the Philadel phia Brotherhood Club. PUSHED UNDER AN ENGINE. A Supposed Accident May Have Been a Deliberate Murder. Cleveland, October 11. What was at first supposed to be a shocking accident, but now is believed to have been a murder, occurred at Orrvillelast night. Solom Boyds ton, Coroner of Wayne county, arrested John Sweeney, of this citv, in a crowd at the depot in Orrville. Within a few minutes a switching engine passed, and Bovdston and his prisoner were seen to fall before tbe locomotive. The former was horribly crnshed and mutilated, being instantly killed, while Sweeney had one leg cut off. The inqnest begun to-day seems to con firm the belief that Boydston was pushed before the engine by one of Sweenev's pals. The officer clnng to the prisoner and dragged him under the wheels. Several persons have been arrested on suspicion. A MERCHANT SHOT DEAD. His lifeless Body Discovered Riddled With a Charge of Buckshot. Jackson, Miss., October 1L Tilly M. Lewis, a prominent citizen and merchant of this county, was assassinated last night, while standing in the yard of his residence at Clinton, ten miles west of here. The re port of a gun was heard and his dead body was found with a load of buckshot in it. No further particulars could be ob tained than this mere statement, and the fact that Clinton had telephoned for bloodhounds to put on the track ol the per petrator of the deed. Lewis was a well-known and popular citi zen, not unknown in politics, and his death will make a sensation. He was 48 years old and a man of family. REMEMBERED BY FRIENDS. Mr. Walsh Presented With a Watch, Before Going to New York. Civil Engineer Michael Walsh, of the Pittsburg Traction Company, severed his connection with that company yesterday to take a similar position on the Broadway Cable road, which is operated by the Wid-ener-Elkins syndicate. He was very popular here, having been with the road since it started. xteiore leaving, nis teiiow-workmen pre sented him with a gold watch and chain, which he appreciates very highly.

LOUIS RECEIVES Hill ROYALLY. lie ia Toasted by Distinguished, llissourians at a Banquet. IMMENSE MILITARY PROCESSIONS. " Scenes tad Incidents Tnit Kirked tie Visit of til Nttitn'i Chief. St. Loois, October 11. Before President Harrison was fairly on the platlorm of his car the train pulled out of Kansas City. It had to be stopped and backed to get Mr. Halford. Firing of cannon greeted the party on ar riving in this city, and amid the plaudits the President, escorted by numerous organi zations, paraded the streets. From the Mer chants' Exchange the Presidental party, still aocompanied.by the committees in car riages and escorted by the detail of mounted police, went direct to the Fair ground. The route covered a large section of the business portion and tbe most beautiful res idence quarters of "the city, and was a tri umphal procession. An enthusiastic wel come was extended the President nil along the way. The drive was apparently much enjoyed by him, and he chatted freely with the gentlemen accompanying him, the time passing most pleasantly until the distin guished visitors arrived at the grand en trance to the Fair grounds. presented with flowers. In passing through Vandeventer place, President Harrison stopped for a moment at the residence of his friend, Mr. R. C. Ker ens, of the Cotton Belt Railroad. Miss Gladys Kerens presented the President with a bouquet ol flowers. - ; At the Fair ground the party proceeded to the Jockey Club House, where an elegant luncheon was served to the President and his party, Governor Francis, Mayor Noonan and 50 other distinguished citizens of St. Louis and Missouri. Belore rising from the table, ex-Governor Stanard said he could not refrain from proposing the health of the distinguished guest of the day in a glass of champagne. He said: Our time Is too short for speech making, but it is seldom that we have the President of the United Stat os west of the Mississippi river, and it makes us glad. Applansee and laughter. It is cxceedinglv seldom that we have the opportunitv of sitting down to tbe same table with tbe President applanse, and we appreciate it. Without furtber remarks 1 propose that we arise and drink to tbe health of tbe President of the United States. I Ap plause! HARRISON TOASTED. Simultaneously every guest arose to his feet and joined in the sentiment proposed. The President's response was brief. "I want to arise, my friends," said he, "mere ly to thank my old-time friend Govornor Stanard. and these many friends present for the compliment of this toast." Applause At the conclusion of the luncheon the party again entered carriages and were driven around the Fair grounds, viewing briefly the exhibits of every department. The fine stock seemed to offer particular in terest lor the President and in the amphi theater he dismounted from his carriage to view more closely some magnificent bulls whose blue ribbons testified to the excellence of their breed. Under the escort of President Charles Green, of the Fair association, the party mounted the grand stand and listened to several airs from the Mexican band. Fol lowing this a hurdle race was improvised for the entertainment of the Presidental party. Three competitors entered the field, twa negros ana a white man all mounted on mules ,' A--MULE RACE. At the given signal all started precipi tously, but at the first hurdle the white man's mule shied and ran around the gate. He endeavored to regain his lost ground by then making a straight cut across thn field to intercept his competitors, but the darkie yelled "Fraud," and a dozen self-appointed judges cried "Foul." The next exciting in cident occurred when the hindmost darkie's animal made full preparations to leap a hurdle, but so suddenly changed his mind that his rider kept straight on and safely cleared tbe obstruction, but without a mule to continue j.he race. At this point the Mexican musicians became so interested in the exciting spectacle that their national anthem sounded more like a fan fare and only added to the confusion of the occasion. There was by this time but one rider in the field, and he was declared the winner. The race was probabiy the greatest failure ever witnessed on the St. Louis fair grounds, but that it was the most amusing one was amply attested by the heartiness with which the President and Secretary Tracy joined in toe general snouts ot laughter. COMPLIMENTING ST. LOUIS. On the return of the President to the city he and his party, Governor Francis and Mayor Noonan were entertained at a private dinner at the Southern Hotel. Only 15, all told, were seated at the table and an hour later the party emerged and the President repaired to his room until the evening visit to the Exposition. The President, several times during the day, expressed his pleasure at the excellent manner in which the St. Louis officials managed the immense crowd and carried out every detail of the programme without fric tion. The early forenoon ride from tbe depot to the hotel was a model of the result of the committee. A platoon of mounted police, under the command of Captain Campbell, led the columu. Behind the,m rode Grand Marshal Sam M. Kennard and staff of aides. Then came the Jefferson Barracks Band. When these leaders of the line had reached Clark avenue the United States cavalry, under command of Colonel Bernard, dusty from the long ride up the city irom the bar racks, wheeled in behind the band. The President's carriage followed and after it came the other carriages. CHEERING CROWDS. The G. A. R. posts fell in behind the car riages. The Admiral Porter Camp, Sons of Veterans, followed and after them the West ern Commercial Travelers' Association. Bands were distributed at freauent inter vals. Just as the carriage wheeled near on the Eleventh and the long line, and the paradingcolnmn came into view, theCavalry Depot Band struck up "The Star Spangled Banner." President Harrison removed his hat and bowed right and left as he passed between them. Stretching down toward City Hall, the street was one great breathing, throbbing crowd, and cheer after cheer continued to rise as the parade formed. Each division fell promptly into line as their left flanks were passed, the last division passed being that of an artillery notcomprising the firing detail or the cannoniers, rigid as statues, with foldetarms on the limber chests and caissons and the battery officers flashing their sabers to a "present" as the President passed. Colors were dipped and the proper honors paid by each division as the Presi dental carriage came in sight INTOXICATED WITH JOT. One incident occurred on the march which completely upset the President's gravity. A half-drunken man started out from the crowd to personally greet the President, and had almost gained tbe side of the carriage, when two ol the mounted police escort bore down upon him. He whs between two fires, and was still anxious to! reach the President. but tbe officers cut him off. Realizing his defeat he gave an elaborate bow to Mr. Harrison, 'and actually running tbe block ade by passing directly under the body of mounted officers' horses, gained the side walk. The President .laughed heartily at the comical incident. Tbe President is hourly'in receipt of tele grams giving the condition of Justice Miller, and his death ia feared at any time. Should that sad event' occur to-night or to-morruw, it will probably hasten somewhat the Presi dent's return to Washington. The pro gramme, however, is to spend to-morrow quietly in Indianapolis, and leave for Washington the following morning, making stops at several Indiana and Ohio towns. MISHAPS OF A DAY. ASonthslde Lady Badly Burned by a Kero sene Explosion Mr. Miller Tails From the Home Hotel Roof A Driver's teg Crushed Under a Wagon. Mrs. Annie Imhoffgot in a hurry while preparing supper last night at her home at 250 Brownsville avenue, Southside, and poured some kerosene on the fire. The can exploded and set the woman's clothes on fire. She screamed, but before assistance reached her she was so badly burned that recovery is doubtful. She was taken to the West Peun Hospital. She is 46 years old, and is the mother of several children. Mrs. Vincent's horse ran away on Lacock street, Allegheny, and smashed the buggy. The horse was hitched to a post, and was irightented by a passing car. M. W. Miller, a painter, while at work on the Home Hotel, vesterday morniDg, fell from a scaffold at the fourth story to the pavement below. He was terribly injured, and was removed to the Homeopathic Hos pital. Both of his legs were broken and he was badly cut and bruised. Hopes are entertained for his recovery, however, and his age, it is thought, will be the principal thing against him. He is 60 years old, mar ried, and lives at the corner of Church and Madi:on avenues, Allegheny. His father, John Miller, who was with bim on the scaffold ,had a narrow escape from falling with him. Joseph Hoffman, a beater in Jones & Laughlin'gjmill, was seriously burnedabout the head and face by a flash ol gas from the furnace. Milton Jackson, a colored driver, fell un der his wagon near the Tenth street bridge and had his leg badly crushed. It will have to be amputated. The wagon con tained five tons of iron. Michael Loncisky, a laborer emploved at the National Tube Works, was brought to the Mercy Hospital yesterday suffering from being badly burned about the right foot and leg by falling on a hot sheet of iron. A GHOST NEAR SCOTTDALE. It Has Been Seen on Different Occasions and is Causing Much Talk. rEPECIAL TKLIQltAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1 Scottdale. October 11. What is said to be a haunted house is situated at Ander sonville, a half mile west of this place. The house is said to be visited by the ghost of its former owner and for that reason a familyhas just vacated it. The house has been visited every night this week by many persons desirous of seeing the ghost. They say that tn watching the residence about 12 o'clock at night you will see a curious light gleam forth from the upstairs window. Mrs. Villiaui Mier who occupied the house until a few weeks ago and vacated it on account of the fear of the supposed ghost, relates a thrilling story of her adventure. She says that about a week ago, late at night, she went upstairs and was horrified to see the face and hands of what she thought greatly resembled a human being. It frightened her to such an extent that she fainted. When she related her story to her husband, he laughed her to scorn, but a few days ago she induced bim to go upstairs at u stated hour and see if he could see the supernatural be ing. He complied with her req ucst and was amazed to witness tbe same lace and hands which had every indication of a human being. The supposed ghost resembled an old man, and as the house was owned and occupied by Jacob Anderson, who died a few years since, a great many people thought it was probably his ghost. Accordingly, Mrs. Mier, who in a stranger in this place, visited Mrs. John Gols- borough, wno is a daughter of the late Jacob Anderson. An album was given her containing Anderson's photograph, which she quickly recognized on sight. Mrs. Mier never saw Anderson', and tbe'moment the looked at his picture she recognized it as being an exact likeness of tbe face she saw in tbe old Anderson property. People here don't take much stock in spook business, but Mrs. Mier's and other persons' stories, who are accredited with seeing the one spoken of, is certainly in creasing the beliet in this vicinity that there are such visitations. Mrs. Mier is an intelligent lady. A GENERAL STRIKE May Ensue Along the River Mines on the Dead Work Scale. Secretary James Boyd, of the United Mine Workers' organization, said last night that erroreous reports were being circulated regarding the strike of miners in the Valley. In the Acme and Allen mines in the Fourth pool, 150 men were on strike for an advance of 6 cents per ton, to bring the price up to the Columbus standard. They also wanted payment for dead work according to scale. A certain price is fixed for day veins and spars, and turning of rooms are fixed at $2 50. Entries are driven at prices arranged between the operator and his employe:. Railroad miners pay 51 a yard for entries. Blyth's men are at work at 66 cents, and are paid for dead work. Mr. Boyd had a conference yesterday with President John B. Rae, when it was decided that the men on strike should continue out. The strike is legal. Both District President McLaughlin and Secre tary Boyd called on the leading operators lately, requesting a conference on the dead work scale, but they all refused. As a result the question of going out for the point will be discussed by the Executive Board at Columbus next week, and a general strike of all the river miners may be ordered. ROBBED AITD UNCONSCIOUS. Remarkable Story Told the Police hy Mrs. Phiiomena Phillips. Mrs. Phiiomena Phillips, 65 years old, who says that at one time her husband was an editor on the Post, was found by 10-year-old Howard Allen yesterday afternoon, lying in a little stream of water which runs through Homewood Cemetery. Mrs. Phil lips was unconscious, and was removed to the Mercy Hospital. Here, when she re gained consciousness, she said she had beeu led to the spot where she was found, had been robbed of some railroad bonds and thrown into the water.

Remarkable Facts as to Marriage Among tbe Unfortunates. SOUND AND HEARTY CHILDREN Born to Parents Both of Whom SHffer From the Dread Disease. HOW THE PATIEKTS AKE CAEED FOE. Tie Pretty Country EitiblialmmU of Taow Who Hits the Mum, rsrzCIAI, TELEGBAK TO THE DISPATCH.1 Washington, October 10. The report on leprosy in Venezuela made to the State Department by K. Plumacher, Consul at Maricaibo, describes at considerable length tbe introdnction of the scourge in 1825, when a sufferer from Santo Domingo landed at Maricaibo and spread tbe infection. In the course of three years the evil had at tained such proportions that an island about tour miles distance from tbe city was set apart for the isolation of incurables. It was not nntil 1876, however, that a charitable work among these exiles was undertaken by a number of good women in Maricaibo. Their efforts in the way of better buildings, social observances and care have been so successlul as to have attracted wide attention, and, this lazaretto bids fair to become thn place of seclusion for the whole of Venezuela. FOR HUMANE TREATMENT. There are now about 125 patients on the isl.inds. Waterworks have been constructed, and abundant supply secures cleanliness of persons and quarters, and tbe irrigation of the ground devoted to agriculture. The diet is wholesome and abundant.and the average cost of the maintenance and treatment ot each person amounts to about $13, in Amer ican money, monthly. A comfortable building has been erected for the use of the employes, while for the patients a large edifice built of concrete, forming a parallelogram withla court yard in the center, is divided into separate apart ments, plainly but sufficiently furnished. A neat chanel has been recently built, where every Sunday religious service is held and the sacraments administered to those who mav so desire. A pleasant feature is the establishment of cottages with grounds attached, in which reside those patients whose means permit it. Land is given free to any one who is able to erect a dwelling, and as there are quite a number who possess regular incomes little homesteads are soon formed, giving the island a cheerful aspect. MARRIAGE OF LEPERS. It was at first a much mooted point as to whether marriages should be permitted among the patients. It has always been well understood that a union between a sound and a diseased person would be liable to result in the propagation of dis eased offsprings, but it was believed that marriage between two undoubted lepers was sure to be fruitless. So, after a long discussion, the necessary permission was given, and a number of weddings were celebrated. For years the theory of sterility was not contradicted by experience, and seemed to be about definitely settled, when two births occurred on the island, tbe parents in each case being lepers. Neither of the children has as yet shown symp toms of the disease, and in March of last year, one of them who had reached the age of 14 years, having passed his whole life on the island with his leprous parents, was allowed to return to society, after having been formally pronounced clean by a board of competent experts. PUZZLES THE DOCTORS. This is but one instance of the puzzling character of the disease- The general effect of these marriages seems to have been to in- ftnfa mnva KhAa.Ailn... nrtA M.tffn.ti.n and to add greatly to the good dis- I cipline of the establishment. Although marriages would not be allowed between a sound and a diseased person, yet, in the case of the development of leprosy in one of a couple, after marriage, the sound consort is permitted to accompany the other to the lazaretto, and this has occurred in many instances. With the system of separate cottages for those who desire them, the island is begin ning to assume tbe aspect of a rural munici pality. Its extent is little more than a mile square, with good soil, of which advantage has been taken by the well-to-do patients for the cultivation of various products and the breeding of goats. The open country has been artificially stocked with game, which is now becoming abundant. A reading room and library are at their constant disposal, and occasional mnsical entertainments are furnished by the Junta, all of whose efforts are directed to tbe establishment of a veritable home for the patients, where they may, as far as possible, forget their afflictions.

The Secretary was instructed to request the members of the Builders' Exchange in aubletting work, to sublet only to contrac tors who employ none but union workmen, and thereby avoid any controversies which might arise on buildings during construc tion.

Hi-Health of the Prospective Bride the Sup posed Cause Some, However, Intimate That Financial Considerations Are the Obstacle. SPECIAL TKLXOHAH TO THB DISrATCH.1 Syracuse, October 11. The engagement of Misa Winnie Davis, the"Daughter of the Confederacy)" to Mr. Alfred Wilkinson, of this city, which was announced less than six months ago, and which created so great a surprise in all sections of the country, will never be carried out. Very intimate friends here of Miss Davis authorize this statement to-nijht. They assign as the cause the ill health of the young lady. Now that tbe rumor first started Irom the Soutb, as it should properly, the friends of both are less reticent regarding the' matter. It seems that Miss Davis has not been in good health for some time, and that she went abroad for the purpose of recruiting her strength. Her trip was ben eficial, but did not restore her fully to health. Her mother and her intimate friends felt that, under these circumstances, ft were best that the prospective marriage should be annulled, and this step was most c.ui:fc.ui-iy la&eu uy miss AJayis. ja tuc other hand, some of Wilkinson's friends are of the opinion that the recent reverses of his family, his moderate income and the still more recent burning of the old home stead had some weight in shaping Miss Winnie's decision. There is general regret here that the match will not take place, inasmuch as it would have been one of the most remarkable and romantic on record. Mr. Wilkinson has had nothing to say about the mat ter, even to his most intimate friends, and conducts himself admirably under the somewhat trying ordeal. He re fuses to be interviewed on the subject and seems much immersed in business. The statement is made in a local paper that some time ago a prominent gentleman of this city received a request from the South ior information concerning Mr. Wilkinson. The failure of the Wilkinson family was particularly inquired into. This was thought by some to be quite significant at the time. BBTBHIHG THE TEETH. How It Should be Done According to an Kxpert in Dentistry. It is safe to say that not 20 persons in 100 know how to use a brusb, and perhaps not 2 of those 20 properly apply their knowl edge, says a dentist in the New 3fork Herald. Ia tbe first place one should have two brushes, one hard and one soft. The hard one should not be bard enough to injure tbe gums. The water should be moderately hot and should be held in the mouth for a min ute or more before the brnsh is applied. This will soften the accumulations. Next take the soft brush and scrub the surface of thateeth vigorously, going over all parts "inside," "ouside"and "on top," to to use phrases commonly understood. After this has been thoroughly done and the mouth rinsed out, the hard brush is to be used. Both brushes should' have curved (concave) surfaces and seratced bristles. In using the hard brusb, bold it in tbe hand and rotate tbe wrist, thus brushing tbe surface of the teeth from the gums toward the cutting edges. The mouth is held slightly open. This re moves from between tbe teeth whatever was there at the outset, and what has been crowded there by the ordinary action with the first brusb. Eyen more thoroughness is required iu this last piocedure than in the first. It is between the teeth that decay is most likely to occur, and it is between the teeth that so few people succeed in cleansing. As a final safeguard waxed floss silk should be passed between all the teeth, and lastly the mouth sprayed with the listeriue dilution. The teeth shonld be cleansed on retiring and arising, and if convenient after each meal. Death of Patrick M; Kearney. The death of Patrick M.

A BIG SUM SECURED' On Drafts on a Broken Bank byi Women Claiming to be Wives of ABSCONDING ENGLISH FINANCIERS, Shortlj After ArriTinir In Xew York The) Succeed in Pocketing $95,000 IN GOOD U. S. CERTIFICATES. Tl Lilies Amsttd on Adriw tj CtUs tai Lo4gi Is tht Police Station. rsrzciAi. th.zoh.im to the DisrATcs. New Yobk, October 11. Among the ar rivals at tbe Fifth Avenue Hotel one day almost two weeks ago were two women and a child of 7 years. Tbe women registered' as Mrs. E. Browning and Mrs. Cornelia V. E. Miller. Mrs. Browning was a brunetta of perhaps 40 years. Mrs. Miller was a blonde and younger. The child was a sickly looking little girl. Who was gen erally dressed in Kate Greenaway style. The two women had plenty of money and acted in every way like women accustomed to luxury. Mrs. Browning seemed to hays tbe most to say in this direction of their affairs. After they had been here several days Mrs. Browning sent for Lawyer Ab Hummel. She informed him that she was Mrs. James H. Field, the wife of tbe senior, partner of the London banking firm of, James H. Field & Co. She said she had been DBAWISOOS HEB HtTSBASD'S BANK through Brown Brothers & Co., of 59 Wall i street, and that she bad a deposit with them; 1 that she had called at the bank for a dralt, and been informed that the firm had re-" J ceived instructions from London to stop all payments on drafts to her order. Through. Howe & Hummel she entered suit for tbe amount of tbe draft. It was for $5,000. This was the latter part of last week. Last Monday Mrs. Browning, or Field, and Mrs. Miller removed to the Coleman House and . took less expensive rooms. On the register ' of the Coleman House their names ara written, "Mrs. Miller" and "Mrs. Brown-' ing." On Friday evening Mr. Hummel called s upon them and held a long consultation. To-day, just before noon, two men called,' and the women came downstairs, left their key in the office and went out, accompanied by the little girl. Before going out they sent a message to Mr. Hummel. When Hum mel got tbe note he went before Judge Bar rett with an application for a writ of habeas , corpus. He told Jadge Barrett that the two women had been arrested by the police without a warrant, and with no authority J except a cablegram from London. FOUND IN A POLICE STATION. Judge Barrett granted the writ and Mr. Hummel hurried to police headquarters. The women were not there. After waiting; as long as he could, Mr. Hummel returned' to tbe Supreme Court and got another writ, returnable on Monday. With this he ap peared again at police headquarters. This time the woman and the little girl were there in Inspector Byrne's office. The law- yer served tbe writ, and having done all' that he could, left his clients to spendSun day in prison. Hummel said that the arrest was an out- '' rage, and that Mr. Byrne had no right to make it. He told this "story: "'News reached here last night that James M. Field & Co.. American stock brokers and organ izers of syndicates in London, who failed some time ago, had absconded, leaving their' ' affairs in great contusion. Tbe story was tnat a receiver haa been appointed and had found out that during the past two months Mr. Field had turned over 30,000 into American currency, and that it was thought that this money had all gone with the ab sconders. Now these two ladies reached here two weeks ago, and it is nothing against Mrs. Field that she registered under an assumed name. I ACTING ON TOBEIGN ADVICE. ' "I suppose that Inspector Byrne has re ceived a cablegram ordering the arrest of t the women. I suppose tbe English autbori- i ties think that Mrs. Field and Mrs. Miller J have the 30,000 in their possession. Mrs. J Miller is the wife of an employe of the 1 house. Both Mr. Miller and' Mr. Field " are Americans, and their wives are also. M Mrs. Miller is from Chicago, and Mrs. 1 Field is also from the West. Now ' I am convinced that these two ladies have not the money, and I am certain- that tbe only ground for arresting them is j the suspicion that they mar have it. But because their husbands may be embezzlers is no ground for arresting them as acces- j snries. As I understand it, Mr. Field and ,' his partners are accused of collecting and i making away with something like half a ', million dollars, the money of Americans i and Englishmen, whom the firm induced to invest. The habeas corpus case comes up ' on Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock, and no donbt the ladies will be released forthwith." ' Inspector Byrne said to-night that tha women were supposed to have with them the proceeds of a big swindle which their i husbands and Mrs. Miller's son had perpe- trated in London. $95,000 SECUBED ON DRAFTS. A year and a half ago, he said, James H. - " j Field, William Wadsworth Miller and William Gates Miller, his 19-year-old son, 3 opened a banking house in London. It -f was a sort of Ferdinand Ward concern. It 1 promised big returns for deposits, and '. actually paid at intervals of one or three J months' alleged profits to tbe depositors at the rate of 25 or 30 per cent a year. Mat ters came to a head fire or six weeks ago. Then the firm dissolved, not in a legal way, but disappeared, and with it went its asset's. f Tne male members of the two families were supposed to have gone to the continent and the women to have come here. Each party is said to have carried away a share of tbe plunder. The British Consulate asked Byrne to arrest the women. They were supposed to have about $200,000 of the booty with them. Be fore tbey left England Mrs. Miller took a large sum to the Bank of England and got Bank of England notes for it. These she took to Brown, Shipley & Co., the London bankers, and exchanged lor drafts on Brown Bros. & Co., of this citv. The women got here on September 3, and Mrs. Miller had already got 95,000 worth of these drafts cashed here before informa tion reached any one interested. Then, upon a telegram from the London house, payment was refused on a further draft for $35,000. Tne drafts that the women pre sented were, according to information from the other side, sent to New York by steam ers following the steamer on which the women left for America. The object of this, tbe police say, was that in case the women had been arrested here on their arrival no criminating evidence could have been found on them. Howe & Hummel, Byrne says, were already in the employment of the women. They tried without avail to get this last draft cashed. The $95,000 they got all in $5,000 and $10,000 United States certificates. Michigan. Michigan. Michigan.
