Interesting Coterie of Campaigners to Teach the West on Tariffi 3IAJ. M'EIXLEY IN THE HOCKING TALLBT f SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TITE DISPATCIT.l Topeka, Sept. 12. The Alliance aggregation now making a tour of the State has met with an enthusiastic recep tion. The leader of the new party, Colonel 1. L. Polk, the National Alliance Presi dent, arrived in this city to-day from Hol ton, and will remain here to-morrow when he will be joined by Senator Pfeffer. "Four months ago," said President Polk, "it looked very much as if there would be no third party for the South, but the folly of the Southern Democratic leaders has forced the issue. A complete surrender by the Democracy and an adoption of the Al liance demands as a part of the Democratic National platform would make a third party unnecessary, but that we cannot ex pect. "ye look for no more from the Demo cratic party than from the Kepublican party. Cleveland will be the Democratic nominee for President beyond question. The South does not want him, and if the Democracy attempts to force him on them the People's party will, carry every South ern State. CAN BE CHASOED IN A DAT. "The South knows the necessity of perfect organization. There is no back sliding such as you find in the Northern States. The Alliance with us is in such a condition that it can be changed into a political party in one day. It was organized as a non-partisan institution, and has been conducted as such. The National Democratic Convention will not be asked to incorporate the St. Louis demands in the platform. If there is any wooing it must come from the Democrats and not from the Alliance." "Will the Supreme Council, which con venes at "Washington in February, declare for a third party?" "That I cannot say, but a third party is inevitable. "We will sweep the Republican party in the South from the field. A com bination between Democrats and Republi cans, such as is proposed in Kansas, will avail nothing. The South is a unit on the Sub-Treasury plan. In 12 States conven tions have unanimously approved it. and in the other two the opposit'on was feeble." A PARTY OF J1ISSIONABIES. Great interest is taken throughout the West in a trip arranged by several promi nent Democra's. It is understood they will start to-morrow on a novel campaigning tour to the Northwestern States. The nom inal object of this trip is to attend the sec ond annual meeting of the State Demo cratic societies of Washington. The con vention will be held at Spokane.

BlNOHAMTON, N. Y., Sept. 12. ITjfyviffat. Lieutenant Governor Jones ad dressed the State Grange at the Greene cnuuty fair to-day. He was introduced by A. B. Robinson, Grand Master of the Che nango County Grangers, who announced the intention of the vote-makers of Chenango county to make General Jones Governor. General Jones said: "There is no question, friends, but taxes are a necessity. How can we equalize tax ation and relieve the farmers of a burden? is the problem. Why are all the cflbrts put forth in vain? Why has it been all wind? Farmers are party slaves, when they should go in for principle. There were once grand principles in the Demo cratic prjrty at the time of the Declaration of Independence, and the party should have stood by them.

Democrats as Well as Republicans Wildly Enthusiastic The Andlenco Break Dowu the Platform Tried Jacksonians Pledged to Protection. Looan, O., Sept. 12. Special The Democracy of the Hocking Valley are in a disturbed state of mind to-night. The demonstration accorded Major McKinley has struck terror in the ranks of the untcrri fied. In extent ot numbers and enthusiasm the meeting has never before been equaled by either party in this neck of the woods. Major McKinley was more than gratified at the magnificent manifestations which promise unmistakably to the Republican ticket a large gain in this, a Democratic stronghold. He sid his meetings keep getting better all the time, and that to day's gathering was of an unusual encour aging nature. It did not simply indicate itself in the thousands marching and cheer ing, but in the more substantial way of scores of prominent Democratic business men, farmers and miners going to the Major and personally pledging themselves to use their influence in behalf ot the honest dollar and protection. Lancaster was handsomely decorated, and flags floated from business houses as well as private dwellings. The sneaking took place on the public square where a large stand was erected, and was listened to by over 5,000 people wedged in a mass. As Major McKinley ascended the platform there was a great rush by the crowd after him aud tb.e stand broke down. For a mo ment there was much excitement, but it was soon quelled by the appearance of Major McKinley, who "stood erect undi.v turbed and with a smile playing on his face. There was no one hurt and a wagon was driven up and into it the speaker stepped and was introduced to the immense throng. Major McKinley said there was very little sentiment in the issues of to-day. This is a campaign of business affairs and men will vote as they understand the ques tions relating to their business enterprises. He then explained the Bland-Allison act and its workings in the past!2 years. He said the Government put in the vaults $67,000, 000, representing the difference in the issue of the silver dollar between what it passed for and what it was really worth. Free coinage of silver meant that this amount would have gone into the pockets of the silver producers. After the meeting Major McKinley left for Canton to remain over Sunday. Mr. John F. White, a prominent Democratic manufacturer of this city, entertained Major McKinley to-day. Mr. White is a representative of an old Demo cratic family which exerts a powerful influence in political affairs of the valley. He was a delegate to the Cleveland Con vention, but became disgusted at the party's Sosition'on the silver question, and he with is whole family will support Major Mc Kinley. COREY TOLD HIM SO.

He Is Not In the United States, However, and Cannot Bo Taken to Philadelphia Without Great Trouble Strong Hints About Wanamaker and Others. Chicago, Sept 12. Special. Detective Frank A. O'Brien, of Philadelphia, who has visited every Western city of import ance in search of Gideon W. Marsh, ex President of the defunct Keystone National Bank, left Chicago this evening on a Balti more and Ohio train, en route to Philadel phia. O'Brien has located the bank wreck er, but, as matters now stand, there is little probability of Marsh consenting to return to the City of Brotherly Love. Before leaving for the East Detective O'Brien said it would be advisable for Postmaster General Wanamaker and others to be very careful about certain statements they have made and are still making about Mr. Marsh. The ex-President, Mr. O'Brien says, could unfold a tale that would rattle their nerves. Detective O'Brien has met the sons of Mr. Marsh and knows exactly where the father is. He admits, however, that Marsh is not within the jurisdiction of the United States, and that it would take considerable diplomacy and no little money to produce the fugitive in Philadelphia. There are some persons, Mr. OBrien says, who have ostensibly shown deep in terest in the arrest and conviction of the bank wrecker, but who, if Marsh was brought back, would soon be missing from Philadelphia. PHIXALEIPHIANS ASK JUSTICE. They Offer Fnnds for the Continuation of the Keystone Bank Inquiry. Philadelphia, Sept. 12. That there may be no delay in the official investigation of the United States Government into the books and the methods of the Keystone Bank, the Citizens' Committee of Fifty for a "New Philadelphia" yesterday forwarded to Secretary of the Treasury Foster an offi cial communication notifying him of the unanimous passage by thecommittee of the following resolutions": That the Hon. Charles Foster, Secretary of the United States Treasury, be requested to do nil in his power toward providing means for the continuation of the investiga tion of the atfairs of the Keystono National Bank by the experts appointed by the Gov ernment. It is of vital importance, alike to the credit of the national bank system and to the cause of justice, that this investiga tion shall be pursued to the end and directly under the auspices of the United States Government. If i be true, as stated, that the experts employed by the Government have been dismissed for the leason that there are now no funds available for tho payment of their expenses, this committee will advance any reasonable amount re quired to meet such expenses until such time ns an approDriation can be made by Congress for their reimbursement, and that this offer be immediately tendered by letter to the Secretary of the Treasury. CATHOLIC OFFICIALS Gather In Chattanooga to Look Into Ab sconding Treasurer O'Brien's Hooks.. Chattanooga, Sept 12: Special Supreme President'James David Coleman, of the Catholic Knights of America, ar rived to-day from New Orleans to loot into the affairs of Supreme Treasurer M. J. O'Brien, whose business failure involved a shortage in his accounts. Be sides the president the following' high officials are present: Supreme Vice Presi dent T. J. Larkin, of New York; Supreme Secretary John Barr, of Lebanon, Ky.; Su preme Assistant Secretary John Brad shaw, of Memphis; Supreme Treas urer Richard Welsh, of St. Louis; E. D. McGuinness, Secretary of State of Rhode Island, and J. J. Duffy, of Memphis. During their stay here for the purpose of investigating the books and ac counts, they will elect a successor to Major O'Brien, who before his departure for places unknown, left his resignation. Major O'Brien's absence has caused an accumulation of drafts sent to hira from various local organirations, and every day death claims come for collection. No one feels authorized to take charge of matters, and everything received is being safely laid aside, awaiting the investigation of tho local representatives of the order. It ia fcaid that there is little, if anything, to his credit as treasurer in the bank and the supreme officers will have to at once ar range for payment of drafts made on the funds supposed to be in his hands. ENLAEGING THE CAPITOL Designs Which Call for an Expenditure of Over Two Bullions. Washington, Sept. 12. Special. At the last session of Congress the Senate Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds gave the subject of extending tho Capitol, to meet the growing demands upon it for space, a good deal of considera tion. They finally directed Mr. Clark, the architect of the Capitol, to matte plans for its extension and submit them to the com mittee when Congress meets in December next. Mr. Clark has just completed the plans, which call for an expenditure of 52, 300,000, but the result will be plenty of room and will add greatly to the Deauty of the already beautiful structure.

HAS SLEPT F01TE YEAES. The Death of a Daughter at Last Hiin to Consciousness. Hrlngs Scbanton; Septl2.cia!L Michael Fernan, living beyond Factoryville, Wyo ming county, near the Nicholson tunnel, to day was aroused from a four-years' sleep, which was only broken by semi-conscious periods, produced by hunger. Fernan was for many years night watchman at the tunnel, and worked a small farm on which he lived dnrinir the day. He hpenmA en - hausted mentally and physically that one morning, on returning home, he" sank into a profound sleep, from which he could not be aroused tblt day. For severaJdays he lav asleep. Doctors watched over him until hunger partially awoke him, but after eating he again dozed off, and so it has gone for these four years. The man in all tins time never uttered nn intelligible sentence. The doctors ascribe the sleep to overwork and the dampness of the tunnel through which he walked after the passage of every train. His health con tinuing good they left the sleeper to him self. He was recalled to his senses by the death of a 'daughter, who lately returned from the West Little Doubt That Miss Vera Is the Eamous Spook Priestess. FRONT. Her Startling Story of Kidnaping and What the Priests Say. PROOFS OF ' THE WOMAN'S IDENTITY rsPECUT. TM.EOBAK TO TOTS DISPATCH. 1 Cincinnati, Sept. 12. Little doubt re garding the identity of Vera Ava re mains. It is stated but also denied that her brother Solomon of Louis ville, has iden tified her as his sister, Ann Odelia Diss De bar. She still re mains in the House of Deten tion and shares the office with the Diss Debar as Miss Ava. matron and spends most of her time on a lounge, which serves as a s,ofa by day and a bed by night. It is stated that some persons who saw the woman to-day say that they saw her last Thursday quite early in the day riding on a cable car in this city. At the House of De tion at a later hour to-night officers said she has not received any letter or telegram from friends or acquaintances as was naturally to be expected if she were a well known per son ot large means, such as she claimed at Chicago she was. She has put on a bold front here. The following is her story as told to the Super intendent of Police. the woman's startling story. "Last Wednesday I called on Archbishop Feehan in Chicago'in reference to my re nouncing the work I had been engaged in for years, and after an unsatisfactory inter-' view , he asked me to go to the church of the Holy Family in West Twelfth street, Father Kelly's chu oh, as the council would meet there that evening. I persuaded Mrs. Boltons, wife of the minister of Centenary Meth odist Church, to accompany me, and without changing the horses inmycar- ri.trrp fmvr ntrn Diss Debar as Diss Debar. carriage and horses), we drove immediately to Father Kelly's church, arriving there at 6:15 o'clock. I instructed my coachman to turn the carriage to the East and wait for me. I stepped into Father Kelly's Btudy and there found the council in session. There were eight or nine of them and among them Father Fitz gerald and Chancellor , Muldodn. The Others I did not recognize. After a recapi tulation of the old business I was asked to renounce my mission business and the faith of JDn Boltons' religion, Methodism, and I was given the ultimatum of doing this or taking the consequences. Seeing the Ameri can flag outside, left. Jroui labor day, ray stalwart coachman and my friend MrsI Bol tons, I refused, and felt perfectly safe in uomg so. SEIZED AND RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS. "Then Father Kelly said, 'Do your duty,' and two big, strong men, one of them Father Fitzgerald, seized me and threw a cloak over my head, after which I remem bered nothing until I found myself in Cin cinnati. They say I went out of the church topray. do they? Anyone who knows any thing about this church will know that I could not go from Father Kelly's study in the church." When Miss Ava was told that the gen eral Delief in New York and Chicago was that she was the lost Madam Diss Debar, she was furious. "Why, what can I say?" she screamed. "What better proof can I give than to say that the $1,500 camel's hair shawl that Mrs. Boltons had on her knees in the carriage when I left her .was mine." It was suggested that she might solve the puzzle by telling where she had been be fore coming to Chicago. She said that was her affair. Her family was opposed to her leaving the Catholic Church, and she did not desire to go into that matter asvit might involve her in more trouble. She was par ticularly bitter on Dr. Boltons for not be friending her. WHAT FATHER KELLY SAYS. A dispatch from Chicago says: Father Kelly, whom the woman accuses of com plicity in the abduction, said to a reporter in reply to her story: "It is almost too ab surd to talk about The woman came here on that evening and I saw her alone in the parlor as 1 would see any other visitor. She had called on me on three different occasions before this and proclaimed herself to be a Catholic. She has also on several occasions gone through confessions in the church. Of course I took it she was a Catholic, and as she appears to know the forms of our church thoroughly ther e was no necessity to use force to try to prosely tize her." "What was her special business Wednes day evening?" "She merely came to talk over her scheme for the reformation of destitute and fallen women. She said she was a lady of large means and had alarge estate in England and a share in Mackay's mines." "What about her having property in the hands of the Catholic Church?'r "She never mentioned such a thing, but spoke of having enormous wealth of her own. She said she had been a nun. She struck one as being a remarkable character. If you spoke only six words to her you would never forget her. She could talk on any subject, and her knowledge seemed world-wide." FATHER KELLY HAS A WITNESS. Father Kelly was shown the picture of Diss Debar, andhe said it bore a strong re semblance to Miss Ava. He has a witness who saw Miss Ava enter the church from the side door and pass immediately out at the front, carrying the bag in which her money and jewels were. Another person saw her get into a carriage which was wait ing for her at the corner and drive avay. Archbishop Feehan, in an interview to day in regard to Miss Ava, said: "I paid but little attention to her talk about erect ing institutions and those extensive schemes because I know what it is to raise up an in stitution and I thought her ideas were too broad. Her intentions seemed good, and I received her just as I receive anyone who comes during certain hours of the day. That is all I know about the woman. As for her charge against Fathers Kellv and Fitz gerald, it is too ridiculous to command a second thought On the face of it no one would believe it and it is so absurd that I cannot even discuss it I have never seen Madam Diss de Bar, but I have heard of her. She created a sensation in Rome some years ago. That had to do with the church, too, but I have never seen the woman and could not say whether Miss Ava resembled her or not." A TELEGRAM FROM INSPECTOR BYRNES. The Chief of Police has received the fol lowing telegram from Inspector Byrnes, of New York: The present whereabouts of. tho Diss Debar woman uro unknown. ShoU about i3 years n9 w VilyEswsIr M of ago, is 8 feot 2 Inches high, very broad, weight was about 270 pounds when last seen here, which was some months ago. Her complexion is sallow and her features very coarse. She has a large mouth, a double chin and a scar in the shape of a orescent on the cheekbone, under the eye. She has Jiair sprinkled with gray, and sometimes wears a wig. Usually she wears a cloak. She has a swaggering walk. She speaks with a silent English accent and can also speak a little Frenon. She Is rathor sympathetic in con versation. She pretends to be a Spiritualist and has tried to pass herself off as a nun. The actions of the woman reported missing in vourcity are very much like those of Diss Debar. A cut of Diss Debar with the hat "and clothing changed with pen and ink to cor respond with those worn by Miss Ava was shown to Father Fitzgerald, Miss Bolton anda number of other people who were ac quainted with Jfiss Ava and all unhesi tatingly pronounce it a good likeness of her. THE TROOP OP IDENTITY. Further proof of the identity is found in the fact that a well-known gentleman met Diss Debar not long ago, and warned her against trying any of her confidence games in Chicago. This latter information comes from Mrs. Bolton, who says she is not at liberty yet to disclose all the details. "lean only saysaid she, "thata gentle man met Diss Debar, called her by name and warned her against continuing her schemes, and that this is why Diss Debar has dropped out of sight Later I may be able to give the details of the meeting." The Mr. Llewellyn to whom Miss Ava re ferred in her Cincinnati talk as her "agent" is unknown by any of the Chicago people who know the mysterious woman. Mrs. Bolton had heard of him, but had never seen him. "Miss Ava sometimes spoke of Mr. Llewellyn as her financial aent," said she, "but I know nothing more about him." AN0THEE SCBAP OF PE00F. Miss Ava Had in Her oto Book tho Namo of a St Louis TheosopMst. St. Louis, Sept 12. A clew to the iden tity of Miss Ava, who mysteriously disap peared from Chicago, has been unearthed here. In a scrap-book in the possession of tho alleged Miss Ava, now at Cincinnati, is inscribed the name; "Dr. Bumford, No. 152S Chestnut street, St Louis." A repor ter called at the number given, but it was discovered that the doctor had left the city three months ago and is npw at Los Gato, Cal. Further than this nothing could be learned. The reporter then called on a spiritual istic medium whomDr. Rumford frequently visited. There it was learned that the doctor believed in spiritualism and all the Other isms of that kind, and was a follower of Madam Blavatsky. Only one conclusion Can be reached. TASC0TT CAUGHT AGAIN.

Charleston, S. C, Sept. 12. Special. W. B. Tascott has been arrested. He is to-night locked up in the police station at Bamberg, this State, where he was taken into custody to-day at the request of a traveling companion. The men came into town as tramps; the chances are they will go out lionized, as there is little doubt in the minds of the Bamberg police tliat they have thn right man. Tills Siotaiug. twjo,common, 'ordinary, every-day-looking tramps walked into town. No attention was paid (o them. A little later one of them presented himself at police headquarters and made an announcement that took away the breath of the Chief when he said he ,was a Chicago detective, and that his com panion was W. u. Uascott, the murderer ot A J. Snell in Chicago, on February 8, 1888. He asked that an officer be detailed to go with him to arrest Tascott, as he appre hended a.fight. Policeman Cave, the giant of the force, was sent on the mission. Pres ently the men returned with their prisoner. The man arrested says his name is Hardin; that he was born in Dallas, Tex., and raised in Auburn, Ala., where he attended college. He denies ever having been to Chicago, or even in Illinois. He says he is a bartender, and that a protracted spree is the cause of his being on the road. Despite this story, the man tallies exactly with the description of Tascott, published trom Chicago, even to the tattoo marks. He is about"26 years old. The police authori ties telegraphed at once to the police of Chicago.

Aimee Louis Barrand, alias Rcmel, the dynamiter now in jail at Belvidere for attempting to blow up a train on the Lehigh Valley Railroad on Thursday, was a guest at Hotel Balmoral, Ocean Grove, last month. He arrived at the hotel on August 8 and engaged rooms for the rest of the season. He remained five days, and then .disappeared without paying his board. He left behind him a large valise, which Clerk Ellis placed under his desk in the office for safe-keeping. On Thursday the valise was opened and found to contain a rusty suit of clothes and an infernal machine, containing several pounds of dynamite. Attached to the ma chine were two fuses, each of them seven feet long. Clerk Ellis took the machine to the office of the Ocean Grove Campmceting As sociation and President Stokes to-day, after reading of Barrand's exploits, communi cated with the Belvidere police. While the valise was in the hotel Clerk Ellis used it very roughly. He is now congratulating himself on his narrow escape from being blown up. A nORRIBLE conjecture Barrand, while at the hotel, asked several of the guests to take a sail with him on the ocean. The sail never came off, owing to the dvnamiter's sudden departure. Now the horrible conjecture has been made that he intended to secrete his machine on the boat, set the maehinery going and then. when it came time for the yacht to sail, to change his mind about going and leave the party to its fale. A dispatch from Albany says: Aimee Louis Barrand, alias Louis Remel, or Louis Remet, who attempted to blow up a Lehigh Valley train in New Jersey with dynamite on Thursday, is well known here. Ten years ago he spent more than a month awaiting an indictment for attempting to blow up the People's Line steamer Drew. For that crime he was sentenced to Danne mora prison. The only reason he gave for the act was that he wanted to 6ee the women rushing about in their night clothes.. He is one of the most perfect of imposters anjl seems to delight in dead-beating his way through the world. He is an expert lin guist, a charming conversationalist and has traveled extensively. AN ENGAGING RASCAL. He is very fertile in expedients and is a man of splendid nerve. When here he pre seuted every appearance of a man of cul ture and refinement He imposes, it is s&id, only on the rich and influential, and one of his chief roles is that of a titled foreigner, who has fallen among thieves and Deen robbed of his all. He acts the part so well that he is frequently supplied with every thing he. needs and is treated as a guest. At one time ho posed ns a representative of the Brazilian Government, and imposed upon a Pennsylvania locomotiye manufact uring company. He ordered ten locomo tives of peculiar design, drew plans of the roads on which they were to run, and had long technical conversations' with the chief mechanic and designer of the company, in which he exhibited a varied amount of technical knowledge relative to the subject in hand. He so thoroughly imposed upon the builders of locomotives that they ac cepted his order and had actually begun work upon one locomotive before discover ing the fraud On another occasion Remel drew up a tastefully engrossed check for 5100,000 and generously donated it to a college, receiving therefor an honorary title. CANADA IN WAR PAINT. ALL HER LAND AND NAT AL DEFENSES TO BE STRENGTHENED. Groat Britain Thinks That Trouble With the United States Is' Sure to Come The Dominion to Be Made Impregnable to Any Attack. Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 12. Special. An officer of the British army who was passing through here to-day on his way to the Pacific coast to inspect the defenses of British Columbia, says that it is the inten tion of the British Government, to mate rially add to the strength of the defenses of Canada, both on the Atlantic and Pacific, as well as along the frontier bordering on the St. Lawrence river and great lakes. The effort to make Canada impregnable against attack will not be confined, he says, to the land defenses, as the ships and arma ment of the Atlantic and Pacific squadrons will be greatly strengthened. He says that the general belief in Eng land is that trouble with the United States is inevitable, unless the cause of irritation between Canada and the Republic is re moved and matters of dispute between the two countries settled before very long. The defiant and insulting attitude "members of the Dominion Cabinet assumed toward the United States during the recent election campaign, he says, is generally deprecated in England. Very little confidence u placed, he says, in executive circles in Eng land in the successful termination of the negotiations, which are to open at "Wash ington on the 12th of October between the Canadian and United States representa tives. As regards the treaty of 1817, between the United States and Great Britain, if car ried out, it would prevent any demonstra tion on the part of the American navy at the World's Fair, at Chicago. He believes that Great Britain would remove any ob stacle, by suspending operations for the time being of the clause ot the treaty which provided that the naval forces of each Gov ernment on the lakes should be limited to four vessels, each of the vessels to be no more than 100 tons burden and each to be armed with nothing more than 18-pound guns.

This throws upon the present extra ses sion the burden aud responsibility of definite action on the question. A bill has been agreed upon in committee and will proba bly be reported in both branches this after noon, but it will hardly be approved by the body. A McKoesport Kidnaping Case. McKeespobt, Sept 12.

"France, England and Germany would have more space than they have ever taken in an expo sition outside of their own territory, Vienna alone sends 1,500 exhibitors.

His Wife Dies From the Effects of Drinking Poisoned Water. DYNAMITE ALSO ONE OF HEE WEAPONS Kansas City, Sept 12. Another chapter in the Juvenal case was written to day, when Dr. Boyle recorded at the Health Office the death of Mrs. J. M. Juvenal from; arsenical poisoning. The married life of J. M. Juvenal has been a tragic and stormy one. He first married Miss Margaret Fouree, of Russell, Kan. After eight years he got a divorce. Then Juvenal became engaged to be married to Miss Millie Pfiffman, of this place. He jilted her aud married Mrs. Anna Baker, a divorced woman. Soon after Juvenal's house was blown up with dynamite and ha and his wife barely escaped death. Miss Pfiffman was arrested for the crime and the case against her is still pending. Last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Juvenal spent the day away from home, returning Mon day. They drank water from the ice cooler and were both immediately taken violently ill. They did not suspect poisoning, how ever, and medical assistance relieved them. Tuesday they ate some cakes made from mixed meal and agnin both were taken vio lently ill.

New Yoek, Sept. 12. Special Carrie Marks, a pretty Hebrew girl of 18 years, was brought before Justice Ingraham, in Supreme Court chambers to-day on a writ of habeas corpus secured by Benjamin Marks, a tailor, her husband of but one day, who alleged that her father, Adelph Lands man, was restraining his wife of her liberty. Justice Goldfogle, as counsel for the father, said the girl was present and could go where she pleased. Marks looked over to her with amorous glances, but Carrie turned away and took her father's arm and Justice Ingrahm dismissed the case. It appeared by the return made to the court that the girl knew Marks as a child and had become acquainted with his wife, who died a year ago, and his ten children, one of whom is of the same age as Carrie. Carrie declares that on September 5 Marks induced her to take some wine, and she wept to the City Hall with him at his re quest, where one of the Judges of the Cir cuit Court married them. She says that, while not intoxicated, she was in such a condition that she was not fully aware of the fact that she was engaged in a marriage ceremony. She admits going sight-seeing that day and taking luncheon with Marks, but says at nightfall she recovered her faculties and fled to the home of her parents. She says she regrets the step, and would not live with Marks, as he is too old for her. , MBS. THUBMAN SINKING. Tlia Venerable Wife or the Old Roman in a Very Serloa Condition. Columbus, Sept 12.

For several months she has been barely able to walk about the house, and more recently has been confined to her room and bed. Thursday night and Friday morning her death was looked for at any moment.
