STXTr COREESrOjrDEST.J "Washington. November 16. "What with 43 Farmers' Alliance men, one single tax man and several others who are not wedded to the ancient principles oi party politics and political economy, those who are moving on the same lines as the social Democrats of Germany will be pretty -well represented in the next Congress. Of coarse they are not Socialists, and would probably resent being called Socialists. But the fact remains that nearly every de parture made by them from the old theories of industrial economy finds its counterpart in the platform of the Socialists of Germany, who at the general elections of this year polled over 1,500,000 votes, and elected 30 members to the Reichstag. Headquarters or the New Power. The National Farmers' Alliance has its headquarters here in a big, ruinous old building on North Capitol street, and al most under the Capitol dome. Here is pub lished the national organ of the order. Each of the 21 States in which there are State organizations has its organ of the State organization. It is only fonr or five years since the initial organization was formed and that was merely for the purpose of preventing the thieving cowboys of Texas from round ing up and running off the stock of the farmers in the vicinity of their ranges. At first there was no attempt at secrecy, but soon some of the farmers who had been members of the Knights of Labor estab lished a system of signals and passwords similar to those of the Knights ot Labor, and since then there has been just sufficient secrecy to prevent the admission to the meetings of those who were not members of the order. Remarkable Growth of tho Order. Since that time the career of the Alliance reads like a romance of history. "Within two years the Alliance has absorbed the "Wheel"' an organization of farmers that bree yearsago came near re volntionizing the politics of Arkansas, has taken in the Mutual Benefit Association of several of the "Western States, has State orsanizations in 24 States, has upward of 3,000,000 mem bers, has established friendly relations with the Knights of Labor aud the trades unions, is proceeding rapidly towards organization in the remaining States, promises at its General Assembly, which meets atOcala, Fla., on the 2d of December, to have repre sentatives Irom State organizations in every State of the Union to make a formal alli ance with the Knights of Labor and to play a mighty part iu the politics of the country lrom this time on until radical changes are are made in the industrial economy of the country. A Possible Power In tho Senate. In the recent elections the Alliance secured a clear majority of the Legislatures oi North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Kansas and South Dakota. In these States United States Senators are to be elected to succeed Pugh in Alabama, "Vance in North Carolina, Hampton iu South Carolina, Call in Florida, Ingalls in Kan sas, Brown in Georgia and Moody in South Dakota. It is not probable that Alliance members, pure and simple, will be chosen in place of all of these well-known and long-serving Senators of the South and "West. "While the members of the Alliance are for the Alliance, the memories of the war have not died out, and even as to some of the Senators who have openly opposed the principles of the Alliance, lite "Vance.of North Carolina, the reverence in which they are held on ac count of the memories of the war may be sufficient to keep them in place. This will certainly be the fact in the case of Hampton, who, however, has been shrewd enough to profess a fair share of sympathy with the purposes of the Alliance. Very Little Show Tor Ingalls. Ingalls w ill be fought to the death, and has little or no chance of re-election, though he seems to imagine that to a man of his su preme abilities it will be easy to overcome a small matter of 15 or 16 opposing votes. The leaders of the Alliance laugh at any se rious suggestion of his re-election. Colonel "W. E. Hutchins, a popular Alliance man cf the southwestern part of the State, has been announced as his opponent, and if he be accepted by tne Alliance he will receive the votes of the Democrats, if necessary, to accomplish the defeat of Ingalls. In Florida, It. F. Eodgers, President of the State Alliance, will be a candidate against the long-winded "Wilkinson Call and the latter will certainly be defeated cither by Bodgers or by another. His ab sence from the Senate will be a subject for congratulation among the Senators and smong the people of the whole country, for speaking mildly, he is the most insnfierablc and continuous bore that ever trod the floor of the Senate chamber. Other LI vely Southern Contests. In Alabama, R. F. Kolb, the present, jopulai.ConuaiEsionei el Agricttltwe pi the State, will dispute the return of Brother Pugh, who can be almost as well spared from the Senate as Brother Call. But after the fight against Ingalls in Kansas, by far the most interesting struggle will begin next Tuesday for the succession to poor old superannuated "Joe" Brown, of Georgia, who was no able to be in his seat at all last session and will probably never again make his appearance iu the chamber. Of course he is not a candidate for re election, but his old opponent, Gordon is, and so is "Pat" Calhoun, a grandson of the great John C. Calhoun, and so is ex-Congressman Norwood, both of the latter as brilliant as Gordon, but younger, and not wedded to the older citizens as Gordon is by the sacred memories of the war, and if he be elected his success will undoubtedly be due to these war memories. "Why Gordon May Poll Through. He is certainly not the candidate of the Alliance, but to'some of the Alliance mem bers of the Legislature the ties of the war may prove stronger that the ties of the new economy. The Alliance men bitterly blame Gordon for the deception he practiced upon them. So long as he felt his election was in doubt he played a friendly roll towards the Alliance, but no sooner did he ieel that he had secured a sufficient number of votes to make him impregnable he declared in a speech that the Alliance was an organiza tion which had only one plank in its plat form and that was rotten, referring, of course, to the sub-treasury scheme. This action wag so different from that oF old Zeb Vance that the great mjss of the members of the Alliance would prefer the election of an open enemy like the latter rather than one who had basely played the hvpocrite towards them as Gordon did. Vance says frankly that he believes the sub treasury scheme to be unconstitutional, and as he is sworn to obey the Constitution he cannot perjure himself. A Convert to the Scheme, Pat Calhoun committed himself long since to the sub-Treasury scheme. Ex Congressman Norwood, the third candidate, is the author of "Plutocracy," a novel which attracted widespread attention after its publication and won him an enviable name as a brilliant writer of the class of philosophic and economic novel which is now the rage and bids fair to remain the tage for some time to come. With three such distinguished candidates in the field, and the principles of the Alliance the bone of contention, the struggle over the Georgia Senatorship, which begins next Tuesday, will excite national attention. Far more important than these contests, however, is the possibility that the Alliance will be a vital factor in the Presidental cam paign of 1892. There is little doubt that the order will not have even reached the zenith of its power at tht time, but will have added mightily to its strength to a degree that will enable it to carry the elect ors of several States in sufficient number to throw the election into the House of Repre sentatives, which wonld insure the election of a Democratic President. The question of going into the fight for electoral votes, as well as many other ques tions of interest not only to the Alliance but to the whole country, will be considered at the coming General Assembly. A Very Important Meeting. There is no doubt that this assembly will result in a further consolidation of elements that have lost faith in the desire or power of the old parties to bring about reforms that are antagonistic to the wishes of the plu tocracy class. The order is officered as none of its fore runners have been. Mr. Polk, the Presi dent, is able, indefatigable and enthusiastic, and has a distinguished lieutenant in Mr. J. H. Turner, the secretary of the national organization. The order is coming to be better understood and sympathized with every day by the great laboring class Til"thft country. "Who shall say that in 1892 the Alliance and all those who are sick of the old parties, farmers, trades unions, Knights of Labor, Socialists, Nationalists, Single Taxersand chronic kickers of both the old parties may not pool their issues and keep the election of President and Vice President out of the House of Representatives by electing a President and Vice President of their own?

Tho Meeting Tills Winter to he a Lively One Democrats "Will Fight the Apportion ment Bill and Kick at the Census Breakers Ahead. 1FTECIAL TELEGItAJt TO THE PISPATCH.l Washington, November 16. Congress man Springer, ot Illinois, is rushing into print since the election with opinions on a variety of public questions. Not content with nominating Cleveland by acclamation in 1S92 and making himself Speaker in 1891, he now predicts an extra session of the Fifty-second Congress next spring. He says that such a session is qnite probable, and adds that the amount of work to be ac complished in the short session soon to com mence is very large, consisting of many im portant bills side-tracked last session by the tariff and other measures. The apportionment bill is to he considered and a fight will be precipitated if it is not made acceptable to the Democrats. The civil service investigation report has not yet been acted upon and will open the flood gates of discussion. There will be a wrangle over the census and an investigation of the alleged partisan manipulation ot the censns returns will be asked by the Democrats. A score of other matters could be suggested as tending to prolong the session without men tioning the appropriation bills which must be passed. A great deal of friction is expected dur ing the session. The Democrats will re turn herejnbilantand less disposed than ever to submit to Mr. Reed's restraints, while the Speaker's humor will naturally be of that nature that will induce him to make it un pleasant for those who- are impertinent or annoying on the floor. This condition of affairs is thought likely to create scenes more entertaining than edifying. MICHENER AND DUDLEY. The Two Noted Indiana Politicians Are to Form a Law Partnership. rSFZCIAL TXLEGBAM TO THE DISrATCn.l Washington, November 16. Attorney General Michener, of Indiana, the political and personal friend of Benjamin Harrison, is coming to "Washington to enter into part nership with "William "W. Dudley. There is a good deal of buncombe about the re peated stories that Dudley and Harrison are bitter enemies, and it is probable that the truth has never been told about the falling out of these two old friends. It is a fact that since Mr. Harrison intimated very pointedly through Secretary Halford that he wonld be just as well pleased if Dudley remained away from the "White House, the visits or the shrewd political manager have ceased. It looks very much, however, as if this apparent enmity was all for eflect. Certain it is that Colonel Dudley, who was always a very popular man among those who know him, is very prosperous and doing a lucra tive business. MARRIAGE OF MISS FULLER.

A Partner in a Brokerage Firm of the Best Social Standing CHARGED WITH OVER 70 CRIMES. He Pilfered Fnlly $350,000 and Forced the Firm to Assign. OPERATIONS C0XT1KTJED FOE IEAES New Tore, November 16. Albert H. Smith, the junior partner in the brokerage firm of Mills, Robeson & Smith, is a pris oner at police headquarters, charged with over 70 forgeries, aggregating 350,000. Smith has acknowledged his guilt to In spector Byrnes, and has turned over all his property to W. A. Watson for the benefit of his creditors. The discovery of the forgeries, which cover a period of six years, was accidentally made on Saturday morning by a stoek clerk in the employ ol Mills, Robeson & Smith. In his confession Smith says he used the money obtained by the forgeries to reim burse customers of the firm who had lost money on his suggestions. Before his ar rest he made a clean breast of his doings to his associates in the firm. WHY MADE rUBLIC. Although the case is not yet complete. Inspector Byrnes, aware of the excited con dition of the money market, determined to make public the real facts of the case. Smith's method was something akin to that of Bedell, the clerk of the firm of Shipman, Choate& Lsroudqne, who was sent to prison for a long term recently. The loss resulting from Smith's misdoings will fall upon Mills, Robeson & Smith, which firm has been in existence since 1872 and has been held in the highest repute. About six years ago Smith became em barrassed, and to save himself adopted the scheme which has led to his downfall. His plan was simple. He would buy seven, eight or nine shares of first-class stock, and bv adding a cipher on the letter Y raise the order to 70, 80 or 90 shares. These he de posited with the firm as a private account and thus make his partners responsible. LAEQE HYPOTHECATION. The shares in the course of time, hypoth ecated with the Union Trust Company, United States Trust Company, Central Trust Company, Chemical Bank, Phoenix Bank, Mechanics' Bank, Fourth National Bank, Nassau Bank of Brooklyn, and Rus sell Sage, amounted to between $20,000 and $30,000 in each case. , Smith's forgeries might have continued indefinitely if Stock Clerk W. A. Watson had not discovered that the figures in a cer tificate turned iu by Smith on Saturday ha'd been raised. An investigation followed and showed that Smith had purchased but seven shares instead of 70, as appeared on the face of the certificate. This led to an overhauling of the books of the firm, and then all came to light. At a subsequent conference with his asso ciates Smith made a full confession and then went to his home in Brooklyn, where he was arrested. SMITH'S GOOD STANDING. Smith is a prominent church man and a member of several clubs. Knowing that exposure was inevitable, he sent his resigna tion to all the clubs previous to his arrest. The stocks which Smith bought were St. Paul preferred, Omaha preferred, Michigan Central, Lake Shore, Illinois Central, Cin cinnati and St. Louis preferred and St 'Louis and San Frantisco.- "Some of these were also deposited as collateral with the Washington Trust Company and the Amer ican Loan and Trust Company. Smith's crime is forgery in the first degree, and as he has confessed his guilt he cannot escape a long term ot imprisonment. He is 45 years old and a childless widower. f All of Smith's forgeries are not a total loss to the firm, as about one-fourth can be recovered. The net loss will be $270,000. Smith was arraigned at the Jefferson Market Police Court this morning and was re manded. Lawyer Walter Logan, of the firm of Denning & Logan, who are counsel to the firm of Mills, Robeson & Smith, says this evening that the firm has made an assign ment to W. A. Watson, to whom Smith yesterday made a personal assignment. MILLIONAIRE BADLY BITTEN. A Smooth-Tongued Farmer Takes Him for Several Thousands. rSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE PIRrATCH.1 St. CLAiESTiLin, November 16. Joseph H. Denbam is a famous Belmont county farmer, whose eloquence has hitherto been expended in selling a patent farm gate, Mr. Denham owns a fine farm near here, and when the oil boom came along he rode in on the top wave, as usual, and leased the entire place to Millionaire John McKeown, who came down here from Washington, Pa. Mr. McKeown leased the farm, promising to put down a well within a certain time. The lease also contained the usual forfeiture clause. When the time had expired Mr. McKeown made another agreement to pay Mr. Denham $10 per day until the well had been put down after a certain date. Then a wildcat on the adjoining farm proved to be a failure, and his place was condemned, and Mr. McKeown thought the lease had been forfeited, as per contract, but Mr. Denham thought otherwise. He began an action against Mr. McKeown. Yester day a verdict was brought in in favor of Denham for a little over $4,000, which is the amount asked for up to date. As the lease is to run several years yet, there will be a big sum to pay, and, nnless the decision is reversed, Mr. McKeown will put down a well at once. He will appeal the case. TEE EXPECTED INDIAN "WAR, General Miles and Secretary Proctor Sup posed to he Discussing It. CniCAOO, November 16. General Miles, commanding the Department of the Mis souri, left for St, Louis last night for the purpose of joining Secretary of War Pros tor, who was to arrive in that city. It is believed that a conference is to be held bear ing on the possible Indian insurrection. A "dispatch from Mandon, N. Dale., says that settlers living on the border of the Sioux reservation bring stories of the arm ing of Indians, which is corroborated by Joseph Buckley, who speaks their language. Buckley came in to-day, and says every In dian on the reservation will shortly go on the warpath, and that they have got posses sion of Custer's rifles, which the United States army never found. Local hardware men have in the last few days sold their en tire stocks of ammunition to the Indians. Settlers are leaving their farms. HARROW ESCAPE OF STUART E0BS0N.

LEADING BANKERS OF NEW YORK NOT AT ALU ALARMED Over the Present Financial Situation-Banks Expected to Check tho Unreasonable Liquidation by Placing a 805,000,000 Reserve at Customers' Disposal. rsrEcxix. telegram to tile DisrATCH.1 New York, November 16. The first thought of every business man, upon learn ing of the misfortune ol Baring Btos. & Co., was, without doubt, of the effect of the event upon the president of the bank wUh which he does business. The New York bu reau of The Dispatch has endeavored-lto do for the thousands of patronsot thebanks "of this city what comparatively few of them could do for themselves, namely, secure to them the views of the presidents of the lead ing banks so far as they were obtainable. The custodians of th resources of the busi ness community, who are also the arbiters of credit, are unanimous in taking a reas suring and most hopeful view of the finan cial situation at this center. This is excel lent so far as it goes. The next question that business men will ask (in fact, they are alreadv asking it of each other) is: "Will the banks do their full duty in the prumises?" It rests with them to check a liquidation that has been largely sympathetic, nnd hence has passed beyond the limits of reason, or to give it a fresh impetus. The associated banks have an aggregate of $95,000,000 in lawful money. It is their legal reserve, which the national banking act unquestionably intended they should hold for any emergency that might arise. There is every reason whv such portions of that re-, serve as the business community may need until all apprehension has died away should be placed promptly at the service of the customers of the bank. This is not the time to hoard resources, but to use them. The resources of the bauk3 are ample. They have $400,000,000 assets, which, under the resolution of the Clearing House, adopted on Tuesday, are available for the settlement of their balance with each other. SLAPPED HIS FACE. Sarah Althea Terry Goes on the Warpath Once More. ffPICIAL, TELEORAK TO TUB DISFATCH.1 Fresno, Cal., November 16. Sarah Althea Terry, who has remained quiet for several months, broke out again to-day by savagely attacking Lawyer N. C. Caldwell, who is attorney for the administrator of the late Judge Terry's estate. She declares he has mismanaged the estate, and several weeks ago they had a collision, which came near ending in blows. To-day he appeared to confirm some sales of real estate, a motion opposed by Mrs. Terry, who appeared in her own behalf. In the argument Caldwell referred to Mrs. Terry as "that woman," and used other expressions, to which she took umbrage. When court adjourned Mrs. Terry stood in the corridor, talking to an attorney, and when Caldwell passed within easy reach she slapped him in the face and smashed her parasol over his legal head. He reviled her in coarse language and threatened to throw her over the balustrade to the floor below. Afterward she had him arrested for disturb ing her peace. His friends fear she will shoot hip or do something desperate, as she is in the worst passion she has been iu since she insulted Justice Field in court. AH ABSCONDING CASHIER Leaves an Illinois Bank With Only a Paltry S200 In the Safe. n1 'Mount, Caemel, lit, "November '1G. The banki.g firm of Cowling, Gowenlock& Co. has closed. Mr. Cowling, the President of the bank, died November 4. Depositors expected the bank to remain closed for a few days, but after waiting a week, they be came impatient and wanted their money. Last Tuesday the cashier, Dave Gowen lock, formerly of Mount Vernon, left to raise the funds to meet the rush on the open ing day. As he did not return, telegrams were sent out in all directions for him, but no clew to his whereabouts have been discovered. Yesterday morning a re ceiver was appointed and the safe opened. It contained less than $200. The supposi tion is that the cashier got away with $15, 000 or $20,000. No accurate estimate can be made, as the examination of the books are not finished. Steps will be taken immedi ately to have the cashier caught and brought back. SEVEN INDICTED FOR MURDER. One Negro Desperado Who Tlgured In the Jessup Riot. Macon, Ga., November 1G.

CEAZr WITH WHISEF. A Drunken Southerner's Freak Causes the Loss of Three Lives. BLOODY RACE-WAR THREATENED. His Brother Bins Amnck With Killing Two People, a tian, AND IS FILIiED WITH 42 BUCKSHOT. rBrECIAL TELEORAMTO THE DISPATCH.1 Ocala, FLA., November 10. There was a pitched battle this afternoon in the little town of Reddick, 15 miles north ot here. For a time it looked as if a bloody race war was imminent, but a death or two cooled down the excitement of the popu lace. Early in the affray the telegraph ope rator was bulldozed by one of the principals in the fight, and he left his post in a hurry. No news ot the affair could be got from Red dick until a late hour. At about i o'clock this afternoon, George R. Sanders, a white man, crazy with whisky, entered Epgard's store, and after flourishing his revolver around for a time, shot at Ned Roux, one of the clerks. Then T. R. Williams and John Friday, the latter also a clerk, seized Sanders, and after a desperate struggle with the fiend, disarmed him, and a negro, who came up while this scuffle was tailing place, and, not understanding the nature of it, rushed across the street to George Sanders' store and told his brother Bob that two men were trying to kill George. A bevolver's deadly work. Then Bob's temper was up, and seizing bis gun, he rushed over into Epgard's store and began firing right and left pro miscuously, and two shots struck Williams, and he fell, mortally wounded. Another shot hit a negro boy, and he dropped dead. Still another hit Friday, the clerk, with no serious effect. The last shot struck a negro woman, who had come in from the rear to make a purchase and did not know what was going on. Her wound is not serious. Meanwhile George Sanders rushed out of the store to avoid the flying bullets, but as he did so, some unknown party sent a charge of buckshot into his head and face, with no serious effect, however. Then Bob, the man with the gun, started to come out, but as he emerged into the open air a charge of bucksbot met him from the side, taking effect in his hip, abdo 'men and thighs, and he fell to the earth. He will probably die. Williams died in great agony. The firing by this time had brought dozens of excited white men and negroes to the scene, and the spectacle of the dead negro boy infuriated the blacks. Some of them armed themselves, and the whites did so in self-defense. For mliy four hours the town was on the verge of a pitched battle, with more or less firing going on, but no one was hurt. the sheriff takes a nAND. The population is only about 300, but they all took a hand. Before the operator was driven from his instrument by George Sanders he had wired this city for help. A special train was put on the Florida South ern xiaiiroad, ana ueputy faneriu beiicrs, with 22 men. started for the scene of the trouble. The meager details of the dispatch created an impression that there was a race battle on and the great- esfc ucueoiBQr prevaiieu, anu mijy -,vuu people gathered in the streets. Captain O'Connell called out the Ocala Rifles, and they were drawn up in line at the railway station ready to start at a moment's notice. Governor Fleming was wired for authority to aid the civil officers. No reply came and the Rifles went home and to bed. When the special train returned with Deputy Sellers and his men, he fjad George Sanders handcuffed and subsequently lodged him in jail. Bob Sanders -was turned over to a physician with a Sheriff's guard. He will probably die within 24 hours. To-nigbt everything is quiet. Williams, one ot the victims, was a prominent citizen of Reddick, having served for a longtime as Superintendent of Public Instruction in Marion county. Of the two Sanders brothers, George is a prosperous merchant. Bob is a railroad conductor. No tears are entertained about any further outbreak. LOST FOR SEVERAL DAYS. Exciting Search for an Afflicted Child in the Mountains. Hillsboro, Tenn., November 16. A remarkable search for a lost child has been exciting the natives of this and adjoining counties during the past few days. Last Sunday morning Budd Futts and wife, liv ing on thesummit of Cumberland Mountain, went to Sunday school, leaving their four children at home. While they were absent their little girl, between 8 and 9 years of age, a aeaf mute and an idiot, strayed away from the house. The country for miles around was thor oughly explored. The whole county he came aroused, and the search was prose cuted with vigor every day until Thursday, when the little one was found alive several miles from home. It has been in the woods four days and nights, in a section of country where bears, panthers and other wild beasts around. EXCITEMENT AT A BANK. A Missing Satchel Full of Funds Soon Turns Up All Bight, CHICAGO, November 16. Yesterday afternoon, as Messenger Austin, of the Pacific State National Bank, returned from the postoffice he discovered that a satchel containing several thousand dollars in cur rency and Clearing House checks for $87,000 had disappeared from the buggy. The satchel was lost between the postoffice and the bank.- Austin became frantic, and rushing into the bank told the officials of the loss. The police were immediately notified and soon a dozen officers were out searching for the missing satchel. A little errand boy found the satchel two minntes after it had fallen and carried it to his employer, a tailor, who restored the property. Both tailor and boy were rewarded. This is the bank's story, but others say the satchel was stolen. A UNIVERSITY BLAZE. One of Wanamaker'g Commercial Travelers Meets His Death. Chablottesyjxle, Va., November 16.

Two Stories of.the Last Affair, Which Was Probably a Fiasco Circumstances Against Either Tale Being True A Valu able Witness Dies. Augusta, Ga., November 16 Last Sunday both night trains on the Georgia Railroad, between Augusta and Atlanta, were robbed of express matter. Last night's train from here for Atlanta met the same fate. Express Messenger Corput, of Atlanta, who is in place of one of the mes sengers who were robbed, was in his car. Above Messina, a man entered and com manded him to open the safe. There are two stories of the robbery. One is that Corput refused to comply, at the same time drawing his revolver, whereupon the robber fired,the ball penetrating his hat, but not touching the messenger, wbo re turned the shot. Corput thinks he "hit the robber, as there aro spots of blood on the car floor. Detectives and express officials visited the scene, but can find no evidence of where a man jumped from the train. Another account of the affair is that the robber covered the messenger with a pistol and commanded him to open the safe and hand ont the mocev, which Corput pro ceeded to do. Quickly drawing his pistol while apparently obeying the robber, he reached around to his left side and fired through his coat hitting the man, who in turn fired, sending a ball through the mes senger's hat, and fled. The condition of the ground along where the robbery occurred Is soft, and the trainmen say that a man could not have -jumped without leaving footprints and evidences of where he landed, but none are to be found.

TORPEDO No Panic Until Two Desperate Efforts to Save the Vessel Failed Most of the Victims Not Drowned, hut Beaten to Death on Bocks. CoEUJfNA, November 16. The gunboat Lapwing brought the Serpent's survivors to Corunna to-day. A survivor named Bur ton said that the Serpent struck a covered rock about 10:30 o'clock Monday night. The weather at the time was not foggy. All hands were below except the officers and six watchmen. Immediately alter the shock all who were below rushed to the deck. The crew obeyed the orders of the officers, and there was no panic A large boat was soon lowered, but it was smashed to pieces and the occupants perished. An attempt to throw a cable ashore also failed. Meanwhile men were being constantly washed overboard. Burton saw one wave wash 12 men into the sea. About an hour after the Serpent struck the captain gave the men leave to save themselves as they thought best. Burton jumped overboard, having a life-belt around his waist. Nobody followed him. After swimming-for two or three hours, battling with immense waves all the time, he reached calta water jtndjanded in an' ex hausted condition'. Survivor Luzon confirmed this story. Both Burton and Luzon say they believe that the Serpent deviated from her course, owing to the weather. The moment that Cape Villano light was sighted the Serpent struck. " When the Lapwing left the vicinity 48 bodies' of victims had been buried, many without being recognized. The majority of the victims were not drowned, but were killed by being dashed against the rocks. EVERY STORE BUT ONE BURNED, Little Luthershurg Visited by an Over whelming1 Calamity. rPPBCIAI.

Fifteen Disgusted Mormon Converts Re turn From Utah Hungry and Bagged. JsriCIAL TELEOBAK TO TUB DISPATCH.! Chambersbueo, Pa., November 16. Last spring and winter half a dozen Mor mon missionaries made their appearance in various parts of Franklin, Fulton and Adams counties, and assiduously, but se cretly, pursued the work of prose lyting innocent farmers aqd their fami lies to the Mormon faith. They intentionally chose the most secluded localities, those farthest distant from railway stations aad local commercial centers. At length they succeeded in making 25 or 30 converts. Soon after embracing the new religion, these converts sold their farms and joyfully set out for the promised land of Utah. A few days ago 15 of them, comprising Stephen McPherren and seven of his friends, with seven children, reached Waynesboro penniless, hungry and ragged, having re turned from Salt Lake on third-class tickets with short rations.

I BT DtrXLAP'S CABLE COMPACT. London, November 16. Henry M. Stanley has ordered to be given to Dunlap's Cable Company for exclusive publication the following statement of his Zanzibaris servant, Saleh Bin Osman. Jameson was visiting Stanley Falls for the purpose ot urging Tippoo Tib to provide tho carriers which he had promised to Stanley. Upon passing through the village of Wakum wa, Jameson asked the head man of the Zanzi baris, Hamadi Bin Sown, whether it was really true that the natives were cannibals and ate each other. Of course it was perfectly true, --erilled the other. TherenDon Jameson crave 6jTV .JI an-nA ntA.h f.nw n nnt tl.v. oung girl whom he had bonght. 1 J JDr" Jv , 'dered him to hand her over to I V Ki the n Crfpj ' them to kill, cook, and eat her. N Qfrfyy The Zanz ' refused to do thi3, and expressed the. .just by going away, but Jameson hlmseir .ookthe girl by tbe wrist and handed her to her savage executioners. She was stabbed with a knife, and while the body was still quivering, the natives cut off the flesh from the bones, and having toasted it on sticks over the fire, they ate It. During tbe whole of the ghastly performance Jameson sat down and made sketches of it. Jameson was accompanied by Maftwa. his boy, Hamadi llln Sowd, and seven Zanzibaris. Disgusted With Jameson's Conduct. Tippoo Tib, who heard of this, upon Jame son's arrival at the falls, refused to seo him for two days, being too disgusted to speak with bliu. Upon Major Barttelot's second visit to the Falls, Tippoo told him that he did notknow bow to deal with either Arabs or Zanzibaris, and, moreover, he assumed such a dictatorial tone that TipDoo Tib refused to speak to bim. The Major remarked to bim: "You can play with Stanley as mncb as you like, but you can not play the fool with me." -You had better return to Yambnya and send another whito man here; you only make trouble. You con sider yourself a Sultan. I can speak with Stanley, but not with you, for you have too big a head," replied Tippoo Tib. Some few weeks after the camp of the rear column bad been formed, three Zanzibaris who had deserlea from Stanley's van guard came to 1'ambuya and reported to Major Barttelot that Stanley was dead. The Major, being next In command, declared himself their chief. The Zanzibaris at Yambnya replied that they did not behevo it, saying that Stanley, with his big force, was well armed, with plenty of rifles and ammunition and a mzinga (cannon), and that the natives in that part of the covntry were not capable of vanquishing such an army. They Could Not Fathom Barttelot. A great deal of dissatisfaction was caused by Barttelot giving these three bearers of the news rice and meat, whereas Zanzibaris and Soudanese at Yambnya were being starved to death. As they expressed It, they couldn't make out what kind of a heart a man bad who wonld starve bis own men, sumptuously feed those who brought such news as the death of Stanley and all his followers. Major Barttelot tried to get men from Tippoo Tib. throuzh Maraja, tbe Soudanese chief. Barttelot thought Stanley was dead and be himself was anxious to reach Kmin and perform the object of the expedition. He remarked to Maraja that Ward was away and Troup had gone home sick. He would send Bonny borne, and taking with bim only Jameson as a white companion, he would cut his way to Wadelai. The Major promised to give Mrraja JCCO if he succeeded in getting Tippoo lib to provide carriers. "We will then find Kmin our selves and return home very big men. You will be a big chief in Egypt, and I will be a general in England," said the Major. SallmMasoodi offended Major Barttelot by oot interpreting to his chief, Tippoo Tib, any insulting speeches which tbe Major uttered. Salini preferred to keep to bimself any high-handed talk and not aggravate Tippoo Tib by repeating it. Zanzibaris ttemaln Loyal to Stanley. There was a large secret council (sbauri) held one night amongst tbe Zanzibaris, when the head man urged that, ratber than die of sickness and starvation, it would be better to even steal some loads ot cloth and beads, etc., and make their way along tbe path taken by Stanley, but those willing to take tbrse risks were in the minority and the majority prevailed upon tbem to stay with tbeir white men, whatever happened, as they promised Stanley tbat they would do so. There was one night banging in tbe cook's house a leg of a goat. ManlidI, Major Bartte lot's boy, crept around to the but one sight and cat oft a small piece or tne meat, wnue tbus engaged, Nubi. the Soudanese guard, saw him, and threatened to report to tbe Major if Man lidi did not share it with him. Manlldi, how ever, preferred to cut off another morsel for the Soudanese, Nubi, but this taste of fresh meat eaten raw only aggravated the Soudan ese's hunger, and after the boy had gone, he took down the remainder of the leg and ate It, and afterward hid the bone in the straw thatch ing of Manlidi's hut. In tbe morning there was a cry from the cook tbat tbe meat was missing, and Major Bartte lot sounded the call and bad everybody in line for the purpose of finding out the thief. The bone was eventually discovered in tho thatch of Manlidi's hut, but Nubi, the Soudanese guard, admitted tbat he was tbe culprit, and Barttelot wisbed to shoot him, out Assad Faran pleaded in bis behalf, and finally the punishment was altered to that of flogging. Flogged and Sentenced to Death. He was to receive SCO lashes, but the man's back was so badly lacerated, being torn into ribbons by tbe lasb, that the total nnmber, SCO, could not be given at one time. It was then decided that the remaining blows shonld be administered when his present wounds had healed. After a few days, Nubi, dreading to face a repetition of tbe inhumanity he had suffered, took his rifle and eicaped into the. forest, but a search was organized and he was soon discovered and brought back to camp, and tbe sentence of death was passed on him. He was compelled to dig his own grave, after which he was lashed to a kind ot cross and a file of IS Soudanese soldiers fired simultane ously at the wretch, riddling bim with bullets. He was afterward burled in a deep, vertical bole, his head being pushed down first and tbe loose clay packed in around bim, so tbat only tbe teet showed above the ground. After a delay of many months, Tippoo Tib Anally supplied the men about 400 to carry I the loans ot ine rear column oi tne n,mm Bey I Belief Expedition, The sacks of beads, balei THREE CENTS. 1 IS COMPLETE. of cloth, etc., were .at first much too heavy, but all were duly lightened, and a great deal of stores which could not be carried, owing to n insufficient number of men, were given to Tippoo Tib. Rice, previously bought from the Arabs at Stanley Falls, was denied the sick blacks of the expedition, but now made a present of to Tippoo Tib. Tib cautioned tha Major to be very careful in bis dealings with the Manyema people. Tippoo Tib's Good Advice. "Tbey are not so servile or so devoted as tbe Zanzibaris; they are washengi (bash people)." said Tippoo Tib. "It is neces sary to humor tbem and exercise at all times the greatest patience and tact in dealing with them. " When they are tired or sick you must attend to them. It you lose your temper and beat them they will all run away. And do not m any way molest their women, as this is their most sensitive point. The Manyemas. when properly treated, are brave and faithful." One of Tippoo Tib's officers, Mivral Schumali. was appointed by Tippoo Tib to be "Mampara," bead man of tho Manyema carriers, and Tib told Barttelot that if be bad any complaint to make be was to do so through Mivini Schumali, who was thoroughly conversant with the people, and would thus be able to settle any disagreement more easily than tbe Major himself. Just before leaving Yambuva, Major Bartte lot called together all the Manyema bead men and told them that be was about to start for Wadelai. and that be intended taking another route, wbicb was a shorter way to reach .Emln than that taken by Stanley. Mivini Schumali was excluded from this council, although Tippoo Tib bad distinctly appointed this man to be tbe chief of the men supplied bv Tippoo. ThU meeting between the Major and his bead men was held in secret, no other white man being present. Barttelot's Overweening Kgotlsm. When the rear guard, now aucmented by tha men sent by Tippoo Tib. actually did leave Yambnya. Barttelot marched ahead with bis compass in hand, saying that be himself would show the way; but eventually, after two or three days, ho lost the trail left by the van guard and was informed of this fact bv Mivini Schumali. The Major answered tbat be was perfectly capable of piloting the expedition, and ordered Mivini Schumali to retire and bring up the rear. Mivini Schumali then told tbe Major that Tippoo Tib bad sain that tha Manyemas were to follow In Stanley's path, and nben the Major deviated from this tbe Manyemas were to return back. Tippoo Tib had said tbat he bad given bis promise to Stan ley before tbe British Consul and tbe Sultan of Zanzibar, and he did not consider himself bound to supply carriers for another white man's personal expedition. The object of tb9 rear column was to reach Stanley, and the quickest and easiest way to dotbiswas to follow Stanley's road. Mivini Schumali told Major Barttelot that be had been appointed by Tib to he chief of the Manyema carriers supplied to the expedition, but the Major, by ignoring him (Schumali) as holding tbat position, had loosened bis command on tbe Manyema, and tbe prostlge which he would have held if properly supported by the Major, was lost. The Manyemas seeing tbat Schumali Tiai not recognized by Major Barttelot as tbeir chief, naturally doubted bis right to control them. Brutality to Half-Starved Savages. The third day Major Barttelot allowed tha Manyemas to lead the expedition, headed by Mivini Schumali. Ke himself (the Major) re mained in the rear to whip up tbo Zanzibaris porters, who, emaciated by many months of hunger and sickness, struggled slowly along the path. Several of the Zanzibaris threw down their packs and escaped into the forest, in crossing a boggy stream, the Major mounted the shoulders ot Hamadi Bin Dowd. but, as tbe Zanzibaris' feet stuck deep in tbe muddy bog at each step, be stumbled about a little and tbe Major sot wet. When they arrived on tbe opposite bank, the Major flogged tbe man most unmercifully and threatened to bare bim shot tbe next morning. As the threat bad been made before and bad been carried our, tho Zanzlbari, Hamadi Bin Dowd, fearing death, escaped into tbe forest and remained absent till 'Stanley returned to Banalga. When they arrived at Banalga, Adb Caronia. ono of Tippoo Tib's bead men, in charge of a slaving gang of Manyemas, advised Barttelot to camp just a little way off, as trouble was likely to spring up between the forces of tbe expedition and the followers of tbe Arabs. Barttelot was also urged to make another camp on account of tbe smallpox, which was very bad among tbe Arabs at Banalga. bat Major Barttelot said be intended remaining where he was at Banalga. He would stay there until Jameson, who had gone to Kasango.should return. This, he expected, would be in about 20 days. Bonny also urged the desirability ot making another camp, bat the Major decided to remain at Banalga. despite the warning from his bead men and his sole remaining white man, Mr. Bonny, all of whom suggested a new camp. The Major said bo was the chief, and nobody had anything to say. Death of Major Barttelot. One morning at Banalga just before day break Major Barttelot sent one of the Soudanese soldiers, BaithI, to order silence in the camp, as someone was beating a drum and singing in one of tbe adjacent houses. Balthi approacbad the house of Sanga, whence tha noise came, and learned from Sanga's children, who were sitting in the doorway, that it was their mother who was playing and singing In side. Baitbi told the children to Inform tbeir mother that the Major wished silence and she was to make no more noise. The children, however, were enjoying tbe wild' music and did not inform tbeir mother of tha Major's order. As the noiso did not cease tbe Major sent his little boy. Sondi. to tell them to stop tbe noise. But even then the message did not reach tha mother's ears, as Sanga's small hoy only laughed and chaffed with Sondi, who was ona of their own playmates, and was about their own age. Sondi then returned to his own master's but, but the noise had not ceased, and the Major became furious and told Sondi to return and tell them tbat if the drumming and singing did not cease the Major himself would come. Whilst Sondi was on his errand tha Major had hastily thrown on his clothes and now appeared on the scene. He entered tba house where Sanga's wlfo was sitting, with tbree of her female friends, drumming and singing. Avenging His Wife's Wrong. Pointing a revolver at tba woman's head ha knocked her off her seat and then kicked her In the stomacb, and she lay on the floor of tha hut groaning in agony. The three woman who were sitting with her ran at once and called to tbe husband, banga, that Barttelot was beating; his wife. Tbe man arrived by tho door at tha back of the house, and seeing his wife groan ing on the floor grasped a stick, but catching sleht of Major Barttelot jnst outside the house with a revolver in his hand Sanga dropped his stick and took down his gun, and priming it, fired and killed tbe Major. The weapon was loaded with two slugs, ona of which killed Barttelot and the other serious ly wounded the arm of a woman standing near. This threw the whole camp Into an uproar. Some of the Manyemas took advantage ot tba tumult and excitement to steal some of tba loads; others remained quiet. Tbe Zanzibaris at first grasped their guns and wanted to fight the Manyema, out ODoyiuLeucunu quic was restored. Sanga ran away to the Falls and gave bimself op to Tippoo Tib. Belolclntr Over Barttellot's Death. On tbe evening of Barttelot's death both Zanzibaris and Soudanese danced and sang and ' : Continued on Sixth rage. lLi J ffcu
