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. The

Black, the President of the National Asso
ciation of Democratic Clubs; ex-Represen-tative
McAdoo, J. P.. Beck, of Philadel
phia, and Mr. Lawrence Gardner, Secretary
of the National Association.
The party is composed of good campaign
ers, and they will talk tariff and preach
good old Democratic doctrines to the peo
ple all along their route, which will include
about an the Northwest, finally closing with
an active participation in the campaign in
Iowa. It is a party of political pedagogues,
so to speak, coming to teach the
people. They will make the first
stop at St. Paul on the 15th. There they
will be enteitained by the local Democratic
organizations. Wednesday they will ad
dress a meeting at Minneapolis. From there
they will "n to Farzo, N. D., where there

THE OVATION TO HTKXXI.EY IN THE
HOCKING YALLET.
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.

You will remember that I urged upon Your

also of telling you that the Chief Justice had
said there was no necessity for appointing

HAS LOCATED MARSH.
A DETECTIVE WHO CLAIMS TO KNOW
WHEBE THE FUGITIVE IS.
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

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

Fernan, living beyond Factoryville, Wyo

which was only broken by semi-conscious

The man in all tins time never uttered nn

the sleep to overwork and the dampness of

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

here. In a scrap-book in the possession of
tho alleged Miss Ava, now at Cincinnati, is
inscribed the name; "Dr. Bumford, No.

discovered that the doctor had left the city
three months ago and is npw at Los Gato,

The reporter then called on a spiritual

A Companion, Who Says He Is a Chicago
Detective, Has Him Arrested The Pris

derer Chicago Police Notified.
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. Hardin both talks and looks to be
quite intelligent

AsurJlty Park, Sept. 12. 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.
THE PEHrrENTIABY QUESTION.
The Present Tennessee Legislature Must

Nashville, Sept. 12. The Senate, after
sporting with the House joint resolution to
appoint a committee to go to the bottom of
the penitentiary question and report in de
tail to an adjourned session November 30,
to-day laid it away to undisturbed repose.
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.

New York, Sept. 12. Special The
commission that went to Europe in the in
terests of the World's Columbian Exposi
tion, as it is designated by Major M. P.
Handy, returned to-day. They were ac
companied by Sir H. T. Wood, Secretary of
the British Society for the Encouragement
of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce, and
James Dredge, who is the editor of the
English weekly Engineering. Both are
members of the Royal Commission to Chi
cago. Herr Wermuth, representing the
German Government, as preliminary agent,
also came with the commission.
Major Handy says the success of the Com
mission was greater than he had antici
pated. All the great European powers
would be strongly represented at Chicago,
and the show would not be merely a fair
but an International Exposition. "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.
The commission traveled 3,000 miles in
Russia. At the hotel where they stopped

THE GREATEST STRIKE IN HISTOET.
Now Claimed That 1,110,000 Cotton Pickers
of the South Are Idle.
Houston, Tex., Sept. 12. Cotton pick
ing is at a standstill throughout the entire
Southern cotton belt, and if the leaders of
the movement can be relied upon, the big
gest strike in the history of the world has
been inaugurated. Colonel Humphreys,
who is engineering the movement, asserts
that 1,100,000 pickers have ceased their la
bors and resolved to pick no more cotton
for hire until November 1, unless paid 51
per hundred and board. He says their or
ganization is thorough and their strength
greatest in Louisiana, Mississppi and Ala
bama. A dispatch from Atlanta claims that the
reported strike of cotton pickers in Georgia
proved to be a myth. The negroes are all
at work except in those portions of the State
where it is raining. Reports received from
Texas, all portions of Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee are to

Michigan M. E. Conference spent most of
the forenoon to-day with the case of Rev.
J. W. Arney, of Saranaca, the pastor with
a decided proclivity for fast horses. The

and that unless he curbed his passion for
racing he would have to be asted for his

THE MAN WHO ONCE JILTED HER.
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.
Investigation showed that nearly every-
7
ng edible in the house had been mixed
th arsenic. From the effects of her ill
ess Mrs. Juvenal never recovered, dying
th;g morning at 2 o'clock. Mr. Juvenal.
however, has recovered.
Much mystery surrounds the case. Ju
venal says he knows who the guilty persons
are, but declines to give their names.
JuVenal is resident manager of the Con
solidated Tank Line Company, and is in
comfortable circumstances.
A HUSBAND OF A DAY.
Seeks
to Get Legal Possession of
His
Pretty Young Hebrew YVI e.
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. Special. Mrs.
Allen G. Thurman has been lying at the
point of death for several days, though her
condition to-night is much improved.
Thursday and Friday the condition of the
venerable lady was the most critical, and
she is still very feeble. Mr3. Thurman is
in the eightieth year of her age, and her ail
ment seems to lie a general decline on ac
count of age. 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.
Her advanced age and a slight cold re
cently contracted excite grave fears that the
improvement is only temporary. Th at
tending physician "stated to-night that he
had advised the family some time ago that
the condition of Mrs. Thurman was such
that she is liable to pass away at any time.
Judge Thurman is in his usua'l good health,
barring the rheumatism, though he is a
little worn with anxiety as to the condition
of his wife.
