TSrECIAI. TELECCtM TO THE DISPATCH.!
"Washington-, July 2S. The Executive
Committee of the Republican National Com
mittee will meet at the Arlington Hotel in
shis city to-morrow afternoon. Chairman
Quay will preside and "Vice Chairman
James S. Clarkson, Secretary J. Sloat
Faett, Treasnrcr W. W. Dudley, Colonel
A. L. Conger, of Ohio, and other members
Mill be present. The meeting is called to
consider the acceptance of Chairman Quay's
resignation in case he should tender it,
which it is not at all certain he will do, and
the calling of the full meeting of the Na
tional Committee to decide upon the time
and place for holding the National Con
entionofl892. The members of the Executive Committee
who are here profess ignorance as to
whether Mr. Quay will or will not resign.
The Senator said this evening, moreover,
that he had not yet decided in his own mind
hat to do. Ills action will depend alto
gether upon circumstances, he said. It has
been informally determined by members of
the Executive Committee that they have
the authority to accept his resignation.
AST OPENING I"OR CLARKSON.
In this case Vice Chairman Clarkson
would assume the duties of Chairman until
the National Committee should meet and
formally elect Chairman Quay's successor.
Mr. Clerkson's friends say that he is not at
all anxious to step into Mr. Quay's shoes,
chiefly because of pressing political duties
in connection with his office of President of I
the League of Republican Clubs. It is well
known, however, that 'vwM office of Chair
man is formally tendered to Mr. Clarkson
lie will accept it.
Senator Fassett arrived this eveningand
talked pleasantly about to-morrow's meet
ing, but had no opinion as to Mr. Quay's
intentions. There i3 considerable gossip in
political circles over the matter and opin
ions seem to be about equally divided on the
question of Mr. Quay's contemplated resig
nation. One member of the Executive Com
mittee said that it was practically set
tled that Mr. Quay would resign and Mr.
Clarkson eventually be selected to succeed
him to-morrow. Another member is
equally certain that Mr. Quay will not re
sign. In anticipation of his resignation, how
ever, the names of various members of the
committee arc being canvassed and the
friends of Mr. Fassett and Mr. Fessenden
are doing considerable wire pulling in their
behalf. It is altogether unlikely that any
thing will be done in the matter of selection
of Quay's successor, should he resign, until
a meeting of the full committee is had.
AK EARLY CONVENTION DESIBED.
In the meantime Mr. Clarkson would be
at the helm. It is learned to-night that Mr.
Clarkson and at least one other member of
the Executive Committee are in favor of
fixing the time for holding the convention
at an earlier date than -usual. These gentle
men arc in favor of a May convention in
order to avoid the hot weather of midsum
mer and to afford opportunity for five or six
in nn tiis of campaign work.
A conference of the members of the Ex
ecutive Committee was held at Senator
Quay's residence this evening and lasted
until a late hour. The Senator did not, it
is understood, make known his decision as
to whether he would or would not resign,
and the more important part of the confer
ence related to the subject of raising money
to pay the existing debts of the National
Committee and the expense of the fall
meeting of the full committee. It is sur
mised also that Colonel Conger, the Ohio
member of the committee, made known to
Chairman Quay and his associates something
about the future intentions of James G.
Blaine.
Colonel Conger has repeatedly stated, both
before and after his recent visit to Bar Har
bor, tliat he was first, last and all the time
for Blaine, and confident of his nomination.
It is quite generally believed here that the
Ohio man sounded Mr. Blaine, and that he
bore some message from him to Chairman
Quay, but Mr. Conger will not admit that-J
this supposition is true.
BRADDOCK SEPUBIICANS-DIVIDED.
Partisans of Quay Talk ot Forming a CInb

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Beaddock, July 28. There is a pretty
little fight on here between the Quay Re
publicans and those on the Dalzell side.
The members of the former contingent say
they intend forming a club for the purpose
of sending delegates to the State convention
to vote lor Robinson for President of the
State League.
To this action the other Republicans
strongly object, and as they claim John Dal
zell as a fellow townsman they say he should
be supported for that position, if for no
other reason.

Friends of Mr. Crisp Aro Frightened Over

TSrECIAI. TELEGIIAM TO THE DISrATCIt.1
Washington, July 2S. The latest news
from Jerry Simpson has caused consterna
tion in the Speakership camp. The sock
less Congressman is down in Arkansas, but
he has sent a message to this city which, to
say the least, has frightened the friends of
Mr. Crisp nearly into spasms. Simpson
makes the assertion (boldly that the Alliance,
men in Congress are going to nominate and
1 ote for Congressman L. F. Livingston, of
Georgia, for Speaker.
As this means a.,hreak in tho Georgia
delegation and a cabling of about 40 votes
in the House, if Jerry can live up to his
word, the move is most significant. The
Alliance men have been so foolish and un
reasonable in all they have done so far in
regard to Congress that, while no one ex
pects them to elect Livingston Speaker, yet
they can, by holding together, cause the
greatest amount of trouble and slate smash
ing. Here is what Jerry Simpson says in
relation to the matter.
"You can say, for me, Jerry Simpson,
that the Alliance men in the next Congress
will have a candidate for Speaker. We will
nominate him in caucus, and wo "will vote
for him on the floor. That has been decided
on, and yon can give me as authority for the
statement, We have at least 20 Alliance
men who will go into our caucus. The
nominee will be Colonel L. F. Livingston,
of Georgia. All the Georgia men were in
clined, except Tom "Watson, to vote for
Crisp, for reasons of State pride, but the
North, including five Alliance men, from
Kansas, two from Nebraska, two from Min
nesota and three or four others, will callon
their Southern brethren to caucus with
them. They will come, of course. The
North will suggest Livingston's name, and
we have the votes to nominate him, too.
The South will most assuredly stand at our
backs in appreciation of the honor we paid
a distinguished representative of this sec
tion of the Union. Every Alliance man in
the Georgia delegation, Watson included,
will support Livingston on the floor of the

St. Louis, July 28. The Farmers'" Al

prominent persons present are Senator
Pefler, of Kansas, and Mr. Powers, Presi

have all been in favor of the People's party

There had been a blood v chasm between the

The exception written across a greenback

against the silver dollar. Every slur on

was manifested over his strictures on In-

North Carolina Farmers Say They Will Not
Vote for Him.
'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH.
Charlotte, N. C, July 2a In the
presence of 5,000 North Carolina farmers at
Kings Mountain to-day Colonel L. L. Polk,
President of the National Farmers' Alli
ance, denounced Grover Cleveland. He
said in words as plain as possible that he
wonld not vote for him for President if the
ex-President Ehould secure the nomination
in the Democratic Convention. The Demo
crats' outside of the Alliance have alwavs
predicted fliat Colonel Polkwould take this
step. When he made the declaration the
brawny farmers who were standing in the
hot sun, eagerly reaching after every word
that fell from Polk's lips, tossed their hats
and coats in the air, and yell after yell
broke the usual quiet of the village of
Kings Mountain.
This practically settles Cleveland in this
State. Polk has the Alliance in his hands,
and what lie says will surely be done. Some
farmers go so far as to say that if Polk's
ideas are not adhered to in the State that
they will desert the Democratic party and
will go solidly for the "Third Party" move
ment, which their President is most as
suredly advocating. The only inference
one could draw from his speech to-day was
that he was ready to Like the "Third
Party" movement up, when the time should
come. Viewing the politics of North Caro
lina carefully, nothing but rupture and dis
contentment prevails. The shortage of
crops and the extreme low price of cotton
have disheartened the farmers, and a politi
cal revolution would seem to be comin".
SHE TAKES CASE OF HEESELF.
Nina Tan Zandt Denies That She Is Ruled
by Her Husband.
rSFECIALTELEGEAJI TO THE DISrATCH.!
New York, July 28. Miss Nina Van
Zandt, accompanied by the dark young Si
cilian, Malato, whose bride she became in
Chicago on July 16, to-day denied the pub
lished story that clouds had alreadv begun
to obscure the honeymoon. Nina has a tall
and graceful figure, big blue eyes, a rounded
chin, and a nose with just a suggestion of
the aquiline. Malato, being unable to ex
press himself in his wife's language, helped
her out with graceful gestures and express
ive shrugs and glances. He spoke to her in
Italian. She said it was absurd to say that
her husband was ruling her with a rod of iron.
"Did you ever hear of a high spirited
American girl being bossed by her hus
band?" she asked. "We seem to be getting
along harmoniously, do we not?" Here
Nina began reading the story, which was
embellished with a picture with her name
under it. She translated it to Malato, who
looked disgusted.
Mr. Malato said, through his vivacious
f fn
partner, that they expect to sail for Havro
next Saturday on the steamer La Norman
die. They will reside in Italy for some
time, and he will try to secure exhibitors
for the Chicago Fair. He will receive
commission from the managers of the Fair
for his work. He and Nina will also write
for American newspapers.
AN INCREASE OF CRIME.
THE NUMBER OF PRISONERS GROWS
LARGER VERY RAPIDLY,
More Taken to the County Jails of Penn
sylvania Than in Any of the Other
States Women Are in tho Minority
There.
Washington, July 28. The Census
office to-day issueda bulletin on the-subject
of "Prisoners in County Jails" It shows
that the total number of prisoners in county
jails on June 1, 1890, was 19,538; the num
ber reported in 1880 was 12,691, an increase
in ten years of 6,846, or at the rate of 53.95
per cent The increase in the'total popula
tion was 24.86 per cent.
In 1880 the ratio of prisoners in county
jails to the population was 253 in each mill
ion; in 1890 it was 312. The increase, there
fore, has been 59 to the million. The largest
increase has been in the North Atlantic di
vision, where it was 95 to the million. Of
the total number of prisoners in county jails
13.9G1 w ei e white and 5,577 colored. Of the
latter 5,328 were negroes, 181 Chinese and
118 Indians. About four-fifths of the negro
prisoners were in jails in the-South Atlantic
ai.d South Central divisions.
Of the 13,961 white prisoners, 9,564 are
native born and 3,7C5 foreign born, whilo
the birthplace of 512 is unknown. The
foreign population of the country or their
immediate descendants, the bulletin says,
contributes directly or indirectly 6,813 per
sons to the county jails, or 1,234 more than
the entire native white population. Of the
total number of prisoners "17,801 are men
and 1,737 women.
Pennsylvania leads with 2,386 prisoners,
the reason for the large number being that
in that State many county jails are author
ized to retain penitentiary convicts sen
tenced for a term of years.
The only State in which there has been
an absolute decrease of jail prisoners is Ver
mont. There has been decrease relatively to
the total population in nine otherStatcs and
Territories, namely, California, Dakota
(counting the two new States as one), the
District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland,
Ohio, Oregon, Texas and Wvoming. For
the most part this decrease has been very
slight.
The relative as well as absolute increase
in the other States and Territories is a
striking fact in the prison statistics of 1890.
Generally speaking, it has been largest in
States with small population.

OVERFLOWING WITH MONEY.
Moro Fands in the SUto Treasury Vaults

TEFECIAL TEI-EQnAlI TO THE DISPATCH.1
Hakrisburg, July 28. The amount in
the general fund of the State Treasury is
close to $5,000,000, the largest in its history.
Over 2,000,000 were paid into it this month,
and half the tax on the capital stock of
corporations remains to be received. It was
hoped to relieve the Treasury to-day of a
portion of this big surplus by the cashing
of school warrants, but State Treasurer
Boyer declined to honor them until he re
ceived efficial notice from Attorney General
Hcnsel to make such disposition of them,
in accordance with the agreement made last
week to have Deputy Superintendent Stew
art drpw the warrants.
The State Treasurer telegraphed the At
torney General at Lancaster, and that
official sent a satisfactory reply. Later in
the afternoon the Attorney General's law
partner, Mr. Hay Brown, called at the State
Treasury and for Mr. Hensel asked Mr.
Boyer to pay all school warrants due the
school districts. On Thursday next the At
torney General will have a written opinion
prepared for the further protection of the'
State Treasurer.
UMBRELLAS TO BE LOANED.
A Company Will Now Furnish Them to
Subscribers.
SPECIAL TELLOEAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, July 28. The United States
Umbrella Providing Company filed articles
of incorporation to-day in the Hudson
County Clerk's office in Jersey City. The
object of the company is to loan umbrellas
to subscribers at a moderate cost on a plan
similar to that in vogue in some of the
theaters for the loaning of opera glasses.
The chief difference is that the subscriber
can take the umbrella with him wherever
he goes and he is responsible for its safe
keeping. The capital stock is 1,500 shares
at $1 each. The incorporators are Louis
Cohen, Samuel Eamestelder, Emil Weiger,
George H. Weiger and Samuel Baum. The
company will have offices in all the princi
pal cities in the United States. A sub
scriber can go to any office of the company,
present his subscription card and get an
umbrella. If he is a traveling man he can
get an umbrella in Jersey City and turn it
in to the company's office in Chicago if he
has no further use for it

The call invites all opposed to MaCunism

London, July 28. The Foreign Com
mittee of the Columbian World's Fair
Commission ended its stay in England to
day in a blaze of glory with a luncheon at
the Savoy Hotel, where the Americans en
tertained the British Commissioners. This
banquet was attended by a company of dis
tinguished guests seldom collected beneath
oneroofi The whole of the Savoy Hotel
was devoted to the use of the Americans
and their friends, and from the snmmit of
the building waved an enormous American
flag. The reception and dining rooms were
jesiuuueu wuu .urikisuauu iimcnoui cuiueb,
and were otherwise decorated with flowers!
and plants. 1
Over 80 guests were assembled at the
luncheon, including United States Minister'
Lincoln, Viscount Cross, Sir Eichard Web

Sir John Pender, Sir Charles TupperJ;

Royal Commission, as well as the United
States Consul General, General New;
Major J. C. Post, United States Lieutenants
Commander Emery, the naval attache at'
London; all military attaches, the other
attaches of the United States Legation and
a number of titled celebrities.
MR. BUTTEKWORTH PRESIDES.
The dining room was beautifully decor-'
ated for the occasion with flowers, plants
and flags. Ex-Congresman Butterworth
presided. Sir Richard Webster, the At
torney General, sat on his right, and Mr.
Lincoln and Viscount Cross were seated on
the left. The first toasts "The President
of the United States" and "The Queen"
were drunk with enthusiasm. Mr. Butter-
worth, Mr. F. W. Peck and Major Moses P.
Handy made speeches which were diplo
matically worded, and which were well re
ceived. In substance they neatly returned
thanks for the hospitality accorded them,
and clearly explained the objects and inter
ests of the Columbia World's Fair.
Mr. Lincoln, in a happy speech, which
was heartily applauded, related in detail
the cordial manner in which Lord Salisbury
had received the American committee, when
the latter called upon the Premier at the
Foreign Office and explained to him the
progress being made.
STUMBLING BLOCKS BE3IOVED.
The Minister also said that one stumbling
block, which had up to quite recently been1
in the way of foreign exhibitors, had been
removed, when he was authorized to an
nounce that any provision in the United
States alien act which could be construed to
operate against exhibitors in the United
States would be removed. Foreign exhib
itors, he added, were assnred that the
United States would use every endeavor to
facilitate foreign exhibitors in being repre
sented at the Fair. Mr. Lincoln concluded
with thcrremsrk: "Chicago'has never.Yet
failed in any public undertaking, and never
will."
The most significant speech made-during
the banquet was that of Viscount Cross,
Secretary of State for India. As Viscount
Cross is a Cabinet officer, and as he is hon
ored with the friendship of the Queen, his
utterance upon this occasion is said beyond
doubt to have been authorized by the Gov
ernment. The Viscount said that he wished
to assure America, in the strongest terms,
that England was heartily and entirely
with the United States in this matter, and
that she would
DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
to insure the best representation at the Fair,
not only of England, but of India and the
colonies. Viscount Cross also promised the
American committee the heartiest co-operation
of the Government, The Viscount's
speech was enthusiastically applauded by
all present
Sir Philip Cunliffo Owen, "Father of Ex
positions," said that he was convinced Jhat
the Chicago exposition would excel any pre
vious exposition, and,therefore, the Society
of Arts had resolved to do its utmost to see
that Great Britain was pronerly represented
at the coming display. Sir Richard Web
ster, the Attorney General, also promised
that England would assist to the utmost in
making the Fair a success.
ChaunceyM. Depew was expected to he
present at the banquet, but at the last mo
ment he was summoned to meet Mr. Van
derbilt at Vienna, and wrote to the commit
tee expressing his regret at not being able
to be present. Mr. Depew said that he re
gretted his enforced absence all the more,
as he wished to say something for the Fair,
"If the usual American habit of speech
making prevailed. "
GLADSTONE SENDS A GREETING.
The Right Hon. William E. Gladstone
sent an autograph letter to ex-Congressman
Butterworth, in which the old statesman
said:
I cannot doubt that tho Chicago Exhibi
tion would tend materially to advance the
commercial intercourse between nations.
I shall not, I hope, transgress th& limits of
courtesy in expressing tho hope that those,
at least, who com after me may live to see
the industrial glory of America freed from
every fetter, and her unparalleled natural
resources turned to tho best account
As the company was dispersing, Sir Philip
Cunliffe Owens said: "The associated people
of America cannot overestimate the import
ance of the presence and speech of Viscount
Cross upon this occasion. It means that
the Queen and the Government will throw
the full weight of their influence in favor of
the Fair."
The Foreign Committee of the Columbian
Fair starts for Paris to-morrow morning.
On Thursday the committee will dine at the
United States Legation, and during their
stay in the French capital they will be re
ceived by the Chamber of Commerce and
will be banqueted in the Eiffel Tower by
the Franco-American Society, and will at
tend a reception given in their honor by the
Directors of the Society of Arts and Trades.

Demonstrations of Welcome to the French;
Displeasing to a Suspicions Monarch.
Cronstadt, July 28. About 300 sailors
were present at the dinner given to tho
French marines yesterday, and all signifi
cant toasts were drank with the utmost en-thusiasuV-.During
tho entertainment the
officers of the Frenchfleetappeareduponthe
balcony of the Exchange, where enormous
crowds of people greeted them with frantic
cheers, and fought and struggled toget a
piece of the tri-color flags which the French
officers detached from the decorations of the
Exchange and threw among the populace,
shouting at the same time, "Vive laliussel"
The people about the Exchange responded
to these cries with, "Vive la France!" and.
in every way the greatest enthusiasm pre
vailed. The crowds also several times in
sisted upon hearing the "Marseillaise."

SWELLING THE DEATH BOLL.
The Number of Victims of the St Mamie-
Horror Beaches CO Known.
Paris, July 28. Interest in the St.
Mande railroad horror is greatly increased
by the fact that up to the present tho
official inquiry has failed to clearly es
tablish the real cause of the collision,
which is attributed in turn to re
venge, malice, carelessness and incompe
tency, according to the revelations of
the hour. To the outside observer the acci
dent would seem to be due, to a very great
extent, to carelessness, though other motives
may have entered into the disaster.
Seenmore victims of the collision died
last night,making a total of 50 dead accounted
for, but tho terribly consumed state of some
of the remains found makes it probable that
in some cases the heaps of cinders collected
may be those of two people which have been
counted as one. The municipal authorities
of St Mande have decided that the funeral
of the victims is to take place at 3 o'clock
to-morrow afternoon

to the Washington GScunemical Council.
Drs. Dallinger and Jenkins, Percy Bunting
and others intimated that they would be un
able to go, and 60 fresh nominations were
made.
P. W. Perks raised the question of en
larging the number of topics for the (Ecu
nemical Council. The President thought
otherwise. "Suppose," he said, "'that some
one in America proposed that the class
meeting be abolished or that every member
must be a total abstainer." Price Hughes
moved the previous question. The Wash
ington programme, he said, had long been
settled, and the question could not be re
opened. Mr. Perks withdrew his motion.

foreigners.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, President of

WANTED TO ASSIST WARDEN BROWN.
Webb City, Mo., July 28. For several
years past'&ere has lived in this city an ec
centric old man named John Thomas. He
was noted for his kindness and-was always
willing to do anyone a favor. He was not
talkative, but on occasions would get confi
dential, and would mourn the fact that ho
was alone in the world. Thomas spent his
odd hours in studying the effect of electri
city on animals and the human system. He

the
wires to Kemmler at Auburn prison was to-
tallv wroncr. and was accountable for
tbA'
apparent torture which that tinfortun;
man was compelled to suffer. i
His idea was that it was the sympathoEfc.
nerves which should be shocked. He wad
much interested in the killing of the four
murderers at Sing Sing on July 7, and
wrote to Warden Brown for permission to
assist in their execution. To this letter he
received no reply. After the execution he
was much engrossed in the details asgleaned
from the press accounts of the affair, but
said the whole theory was wrong. There
should have been no mnscular contraction.
The current was applied to the wrong set of
nerves. He said there was too much elec
tricity used,andifproperapplianceshadbeen
used, only one shock would have been neces
sary, and thero would have been no burn
ing of the flesh, nor any of the shocking
scenes which were reported in the accounts
of the execution.
He cited several instances where men
had been killed by electric light wires,
showing that where the current had passed
through the hands death was lingering, bnt
when it passed directly through the body
death was instantaneous.
CAEKYING OUT HIS THEQJiT.
His theory was to place one electrode di
rectly over the pit of the stomadh, and the
other at the back, thus passing' the current
through the great pneumogastric nerve.
This, lie claimed, would cause instantaneous
paralysis of the heart and lungs. Thomas
appeared to become insane on the subject,
and it was the theme of his conversation at
all times and places and, where" he formerly
was taciturn, he became very talkative. He
had a sort of repair and job shop where ho
would mend the tools of the miners, and
spend most of his time at tinkering at odd
'jobs. He had been engaged upon some sort
of an invention for some weeks, and refused
to admit anyone to the back room of the
shop where he slept and where he kept his
invention.
About a week ago Thomas made arrange
ments to have an arc electrio light placed in
his shop. He told the electrio light people
.that he.had much work to do at night, and
that h could not see well enough by lamp
light Last week Thomas was missed from
his usual haunts, and his door was closed.
Some hints that he had dropped dead in
duced his neighbors to break into the house.
and they found that he had proved his the

THE SWnCH-BOAED OP DEATH.
With insulated wires ho made the con
nections to an arrangement of steel rods at
his bed which were so arranged that when
he laid down one electrode was between his
shoulders, and he could then place the
other over the pit of his stomach. In each
electrode was a sponge which had evidently
been moistened. He had made a peculiar
switch-board which worked in such a
manner that the light-wire could be cut out
and the current deflected to the apparatus
at the bed. This was accomplished by
E tilling a cord which hung at the side of the
ed. When the cord was released tho
spring would force the switch back, turning
the current back into the light
Thomas had made all his preparations
and then deliberately laid Himself upon the
bed, adjusted the electrodes and fpulled the
cord. Death came in an instant and he
died without a struggle. Not a muscle had
twitched to disarrange the body. The cord
had been released by the dead hand upon
the instant of tho shock and a second con
tact was not necessary. The strength of the
current was about 1,200 volts, showing that
the current through the pneumogastric
nerve requires neither so heavy nor so pro
longed a shock as through the brain and
spinal cord. Not a mark nor blister wast
seen on the body to indicate burning.

New York, July 28. Baron Henry Van
Oldenneel, of Amsterdam, and Count Ernest
de la Porte, of Paris, were in the Jefferson
Market Court to-day, accompanied by "Vis
count de Onsenbay. The Baron and Count
were the complainants against Bartender
Arthur Cosgrove. Baron van Oldenneel
swore to-day that he had been beaten with
an iron bar by Cosgrove and thrown into the
street, where one of Egan's crowd finished
him. Count de la Porte, who said he had
not been able to rise from his bed until last
Saturday, also showed the wounds he had
received at the hands of Cosgrove. He said
he had asked for beer. It was given to him
in a cracked glass, which fell in pieces when
he lifted it
Cosgrove asked him if he was a glass
eater, and wanted him to pay for the glass.
He refused, and then he was beaten and
thrown on the Bidewalk. The lawyer for
the defendant charged the baron with an at
tempt to blackmail his client, and now the
baron threatens to bring suit against Law
yer Cochran. Justice Kelly adjourned the
examination until Thursday to give Dr.
Woodstock a chance to testify.

rSFECIAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCIt.l
New Yoek, July 28. Oliver W. Petty,
the 20-year-old son of D. Oliver Petty, a
leading citizen of Port Jefferson, ran off
with Kate Mott Nugent and married her at
Bay Shore last January. His parents were
highly indignant tit first at his escapade, but
loon concluded tojmake the best of the situa
tion, and notified him that he and his bride
would be welcomed and forgiven. Two
weeks after the marriage it was learned that
the woman, although only 24 years old, had
been married three times before her elope
ment with young Petty, and that aU her
husbands were living.
Her firstiiatrimonial venture was with
Lincoln Nugent at. Patchogue in October,
1883. Her next husband was named
Gregory, and her third Fox. Young Petty,
cojeringthe bad break he had made
deserted his bride and returned to his par
ents. The woman was arrested for bigamy,
and lodged in Riverhead jail. Young
Petty promptly brought a suit in the
Supreme Court for the annulment of the
marriage, and at the trial which took place
before Justice Cullen in Brooklyn to-day
overwhelming evidence wa3 given in refer

domestic manufacturers who bring raw silk
into this country duty free from Japan,
China and France. According to Mr.
Richardson, the domestic manufacture of
silk articles has been hampered by Custom
House frauds. The making of silk hand
kerchiefs, the most popular commodity in
silk, he says, has been wholly stopped-
chiefly by this cause.

Philadelphia, July 28. Early this
afternoon Chief Wood received a telegrami
from the Superintendent of Police at Cleve
land, O., asking him to intercept Louisa.
Boggatt, 16 years old, and William
Belcher, 24 years old, who had
eloped from that city. As the train Tolled
into Broad street station it was boarded by
the detectives. After a short search, De

answering the-, descriptions, but he ws
taken aback byftho fict that they had a fit
tie girl about 7 years old with them.
After a few questions, however, he was
convinced that they were the persons
wanted, and they were taken to the Central
station, where they admitted their identity.
The man was so badly frightened that but
little could.be obtained from him. The girl
was equal to the emergency, and talked
enough for both. The young girl accom
panying them was the daughter of Miss
Boggatt's sister, and was on her way to her
grandfather at Asbury Park. The Cleve

Boggatt's father is expected here to-morrow

Boston, July 28. Much anxiety exists
in Boston over the news from China regard

country. At the Congregational House
Secretary Alden said the missionaries of his
denomination had not been molested so far
as was known, and Secretary Murdock at
the Baptist headquarters said the Baptists
had been saved from tho fury of the Celes
tials. At the Methodist headquarters, however,
lit was learned that riots had occurred at
Yang Chow, Nanking, V usuch, Kin-Kiang,
and at other places in the Yang-Tsi VaUey.
At Nanking the Chinese attempted to de
molish the Philander Smith Hospital and
set fire to the girls' school building belong
ing to the Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society. Rev. D. W.Nichols faced the
mob alone and kept them at bay with his
revolver until a mandarin arrived with sol
diers. The doors, windows and walls of the
chapel and dwelling houses of tho Wesleyan
Mission at Wusich were battered down. Rev.
Mr. Argenta and Mr. Green, an English
man connected with the customs service,
were killed.

GEN. PKOPHETE STANDS NO CHANCE.
(SPECIAL CORBESPOSDEtfCE OP THE DISPATCH.J
Port atj Prince, July 18. At the tima
of writing a so-called "couri" is in full
swing. A "couri" is a general panic, In
which it is everyone for himself and the
devil take the hindmost. The cause of all
this is a rumor that the exiles from King
ston are about to land. Several gunshots,
fired by no one knows who, started the re
port. All the stores are being closed.
Everybody is running home to close the
doors and windows in case of a riot, for th
people of this city already know, from ex
perience, how the minions of Hippoljte ex
ecute his orders to fire at all those found in
the streets. Troops are beginning to gather
at the street corners, dragging cannon along
with them so as to lose no time in looking
for horses and harness. The latter would
probably be difficult to find, since there-has
been no use for it in several months. Each
one of the principal military posts Hhjis es
tablished is furnished with a cannon or a
gatling gun, and the guards are in readi
ness to begin the defense of the city. Gen
eral Coicon, the Commandant of the city,
accompanied by an escort, has gone to that
sideof the town on which the attack is ex
pected. However, everything is at present con
paratively quiet, which leads me to believi
that we shall probabljr have several mon
"couris" before anything serious will hap-,
pen to the acting Government. This is tho
usual way of doing things in Haiti. All rev
olutions have begun in this fashion.
couris injure trade:
These false alarms injure trade and irri
tate the population; they weary the Gov
ernment, weaken it and bother the soldiery
in such a way that after half a dozen
"couris" they pay little attention to the
alarm, and are finally surprised and over
come. At the time of the revolution of 1888. the
first uprising occurred May 24. This was
followed by several "couris," and on Au
gust 10, when the real attack was made, the
insurgents met with little resistance. This
time the first uprising occurred on May 28.
LjThe "couris" have now begun, and we may
look to the month of August for the real
revolution. So the prognosticators gave the
data of Hippolyte's overthrow as August
14, 1891, calculating from former revolts.
Almost daily a new name is added to the
list of deserters from the ranks of those con
sidered up to this time stanch friends and
defenders of Hippolyte. Three days ago
the steamer Prins Frederick Hendnk car
ried away his right hand man, Antenor
Firmin, who did most of the 'thinking' for
the present administration.
Yesterday General Turenne and Jean
Gilles,Hilitary Governor of Port an Prince,
left for the north, giving ill health as an
excuse. As a result, a number of northern
and southern Generals are mentioned as not
being overzealous in behalf of Hippolyte.
the tkeasubt emptt.
Another misfortune for Hippolyte is that
there isi absolutely no money in the Treas
ury. He has been unable to make a loan
from the banks or merchants of Port au
Prince,' and consequently the army and
public femployes have not been paid this
month, and see no probability of being paid
next month. This will prepare them for
receiving the revolutionists with open
arms, for they know that the exiles will
have plenty of money.
This system of "couris," which has evi
dently just begun, will greatly influence
the peaceable part of the inhabitants in
favor of the insurgents. They will become
so weary of these street alarms that they
will almost welcome any man who will
overthrow a government which is unable to
maintain order in the streets. And since
the foreigners and the Diplomatic Corps
arc of the peaceable class of people, unable to
understand the existence of a government
which cannot keep the peace, they involun
tarily and unconsciously become partisans
of the revolution, and assure the success of
the insurgents by silently consenting to
their usurpation of power.
I inclose General Manigat's protest
against Anselma Prophete's proclamation,
in which the prophet said that he had been
