Clkvxi.aj.-d, Oct. 24. Major McKinley
adilresed another large overflow meeting
in this city to-night. He reached here late
in the afternoon from Alliance, and was
met at ihe depot by the Americus Club, of
l'ittsburg, and a delegation of local Repub
licans The large Music Hall, which will
hold about 5,000 people, was jammed to the
roof. The gathering was next in size to the
Cincinnati crowd that recently greeted the
Major. A great many were turned away.
The hall was decorated with long strips
of bunting, and a row of tropical plants
lined the stace. Pictures of Blaine, Lin
coln, Logan, Garfield, and other leaders,
living and dead, adorned the galleries.
"When MeKinley appeared on the platform
he was cheered and applauded for several
minutes. The Americus Club led and
stirred up ths enthusiasm. Handkerchiefs
were waved, and the people gave other
visible signs of their appreciation, which is
wondertul for a Cleveland audience. You
can't expect much of an outburst in a slow
going -itv, where it is considered an evi
dence of weakness to applaud anything.
Greeting Tor tho Americus Club.
The Americus boys were reinforced by a
tielcgation from Youngstown, and when
they proposed a cheer for MeKinley it was
given with a will. A large, ugly eagle,
made out of wool, was placed on the
speaker's stand, and it caused some merri
ment On a large arch on the platform were
printed these words: "The Cleveland clubs
extend a cordial Republican welcome to the
Americus Club, of Pittsburg." The pict-u-cs
of Sherman, MeKinley and Blaine
were arranged in this order, with the word
"Resumption" under the first, "Protection"
under the second, and ".Reciprocity" under
tba third.
The Americus Club was the principal at
traction of the parade. The boys arrived
here early this morning, having had little
f'eep during the night. Colonel Moody,
District Passenger Agent of the Pennsyl
vani Company, was in charge of the party,
and all the arrangements were well ex
ecuted. It was scarcely davlight when,
beaded by the Grand Army Band, they
marched up Superior street and surprised
the laborers going to work. The Cleveland
committee made a mistake about the time
of arrival, and there was nobody at the
depot to meet them, but a small delegation
with music greeted the boys on the way to
the hotel Alter breakfast a visit was made
to Garfield's tomb, in Lakeview Cemetery.
A Parade in the Afternoon.
In the afternoon the club, with its band,
f e-enaded all the newspapers in town, Re
publican nud Democratic alike. Late in
the day, in connection with the Tippecanoe
Clur, of Cleveland, and other local organi
zations, they met McKinlev at the depot,
nd a parade followed. Before the meeting
the club w as received by the Major at the For
est City Hotel. He expressed his satisfaction
at seeing the boys, and wished for the time
being they lived in Ohio. He added that
he did not Tvnow how he could repay the
club for the interest it displayed in his
canvass.
In the parade the Americus Club was
giveu the right of line, and afforded other,
courtesies. When the boys went to Xew
" ork in 18RR they were enthusiastically re
ceived all along the line, TheXev York
ers know a good thing when they see it.
In Cleveland to-day the marchers thought
th people were very chilly, but that was
because thv didn't understand their dis
position The club made a much better
showing than it did in the metropolis, and
while the impaive Clevelander appre
ciated their i isi:t and admired their ex
cellent marching and intricate movements
with the famous led, white and blue um
brellas they didu't know how to show it,
Chillln h, of the Western Reserve.
Accustomed to ches and applause, the
boys failed to note th sileit admiration of
the people. The citizens of the Western
Reserve are not given to effusive displays.
Ed. Godfrey remarked that a week hence
the average Cleveland man would realize
that the MeKinley demonstration was a big
eent and a great success. The club was
divided into two sections, commanded by
Major Logan and Colonel William Rcia.
In the ranks were noticed Postmaster Mc
Kean,Collector Warmcastle, Chief Bigelow,
Secretary Houghton and other prominent
I'ltuburgers. Before the club returned to
Pittsburg late this evening, the boys were
better satisfied with their reception, when
they comprehended, to some extent, the im
passiveness of the Forest City inhabitants.
General K. S. Myers presided at the
meeting. While he was introducing Me
Kinley, a request was sent in for ex-Congressman
Allen, of Michigan, to address the
oierflow meeting in the assembly room be
low. Mr. Allen responded, and talked to
the people on the silver and tariff issues.
MeKinley on Silver and Tariff.
MeKinley started out by making his
usual mild references to State issues,urging
voters to look after the legislative ticket.
He then sailed into tHfc silver question, and
knocked the padding out of the Democratic
arguments on this subject He said that
"Congressman Harter, of Mansfield, who
would rather have a cancer or smallpox
than a protective tariff for a factory, is op
posed to a siher dollar worth only 80 cents.
The capitalist can wait for his dividend, but
the workingman must have his dinner.
Mr. Harter knows that the Democratic party
would rob the poor man of 20 cents on
tery siher dollar he had."
Occasionally during his speech soine Dem
ocrat would interrupt the Major, but the
crowd always sat down on such a
man very promptly. "Governor Campbell
wants to know," Tie said, ''if wages nave
been advanced under the tariff I do not
know, but the G crnor advocates a policy
that would reduce the wages of every
man and woman to the level of
tht. laborers in Europe." Cheers.
There are men in this audience who
hae worked in England and this country,
and they know the difference. You kno'w
the bfessings of protection. A tariff
doesn't burden the Government, for in the
last L'O vears w e have reduced the debt more
than Si',000,000,000. It doesn't increase
pauperism."
The Situation 'ot a Cold Cinch.
It will surprise people outside of Ohio to
learn at this date that the situation for the
Jlepublican party is now considered criti
cal A week ago everything was going
McKmley's way. Shrewd bettors were not
willing to wager a cent on Campbell's
chances The Republicans were jubilant,
and the Democrats apprehensive and de
pressed. To-day the conditions arc slightly
reversed. Campbell's adherents are chipper
and more hopeful of the outcome. They
are not claiming the State, and I still think
they won't carry it, but they will make a
much better show'ing tban many people im
agined. Republican success is endangered by the
indifference born of over-confidence. This
trait of human nature has defeated many a
good man in the past. MeKinley continues
to have large meetings, but it can'tbe de
nied that the people are growing tired of
politics. Thev want a change. The cam
paign is too long-drawn-out. Sherman sees
the danger arising from the great faith of
the Republicans. It has had a bad effect
on contributors in other States, whohave
been given to understand that MeKinley
w ould have a walk-over.
Campbell's Method on the Stamp.
The Major has secured a good advantage,
but, according to observant and careful Re
publicans, Campbell is making big inroads
on his strength. There has been a revul
sion of feeling in the last four or five days,
and the Governor's methods on the stump
are charged with producing the change. I
met Captain Burrow s, of Painesville this
afternoon. He is a brother of Congressman
Julius Caesar Burrows, of Michigan, and a
staunch Republican. In sizing, up the situa
tion at present he said: "I wish to be frank
with you. If the election had been held 10
davs ago MeKinley would have
had not less than 25,000 of a majority. Now
I am afraid of the result The Major will
have to come down off his high horse and
meet Campbell on his own ground. Me
Kinley has been hitting above the people.
He must shoot straight at them to win.
Campbell is shrewd, and a Democrat told
me to-day he was working to win, by fair or
Joul means. His ambition is to get mere,
no matter how he does it. He is preaching
auarchy and socialism in its worst form. In
many places, if a man made some of the
speeches he doc, he would be jailed.
Tho Gist or the Governor's Reasoning.
"See how he reasons. He points to the
palaces and great wealth of some people,
and then asks the workmen when their
share is. Hie aim is to array class against
class, and stir up discontent You notice
the Governor never suggests a remedy for
existing evils, butbc overdraws the pictnre.
It would be easy to show up the fallacy of
his argumen. but the Major neglects to do
it. Campbell's methods make ten votes for
him where McKinlevw-ill onlyjjet one. He
has been laboring with the working classes,
and their votes count. MeKinley is a
Presider.tal candidate, and is too careful.
What he ought to do is to follow up Camp
bell, and riddle every alleged argument he
makes. "
One feature of the campaign .that is a
great disappointment to Sherman is his
failure to force the silver issue to the front.
The Democrats have dodged it, and the Re
publicans haven't been able to push it
ahead of the tariff Campbell has hung to
the latter question with the tenacity of a
bulldog, and he hasn't hesitatod to resort to
the trick of misrepresentation. The Gov
ernor, I arc told, did not maks any votes at
East Liverpool the other night. Hmer
Laughlin and John V. Taylor, two
potters, arrived here this after
noon with MeKinley from Alliance.
Mr. Laughlin said " the proceedings
were disgraceful, and Campbell is respon
sible for it He claims the Governor
caused all the trouble, and as a result of the
affair the pottery manufacturers of the
place have addressed an open letter to Mr.
Campbell resenting the reflectionshe made
on them as employers of labor. It is signed

To Governor Campbell:
We, the undersigned manufacturing pot
ters of Hast Liverpool, beg to state that we
are amazed at your speech at the rink last
evening. We will not stop to characterize
it as it deserves. Your repetition of the
statements tnndo by you at Toledo, "that
there l'ave been more attempts made to de
base and degrade labor in East Liverpool
than anywheio else this side of hades," the
epithets such as "liars," "lyin-j affidavit?,"
"slave drivers," "robbers," etc., maliciously
and indiscriminately applied to all the employer-
of labo." in our city, are in them
selves so nntru-s and unr.ghtcous as to carry
their own condemnation with all fair
minded citizens. We neither desie no:
receive anv of the tarUT on pottery,
and are mllinc that it should all go to
labor in producing; the material and mann
lacturine the product. If our workmen are
at anv time dissatisfied with their wages we
nre willinsr that three disinterested experts,
appointed m the usual way, should ascertain
the foreign price of labor like ours, and we
will then add the American tariff to that,
anil our workmen shall receive that amount
for their pay. Wages are paid by the piece,
as a rule, and therefore a determination of
the rate should not be difficult. Our rela
tions with our workmen being harmonious
and amicable, we have not heretofore made
this proposition to them, as they, as a class,
are of exceptional intelligence, and would
consider it m the line of a reduction of
wages, which wc do not demand or desire.
This offer is made in good faith, as a bnsi
ness proposition. Israel.
CAMPBELL IGNORES FORAKER.
-ON"E OF THE EX-GOVKKNOR'S AT
TACKS NOTICED BY HIM.
A Special Train Procured to Take the
Governor Among His Friends He
Slakes Five Speeches In a Day Some
Attention to State Issues.
Marietta, Oct 24. Special Gov
ernor Campbell made five speeches to-day,
closing his day's work by addressing a large
meeting of workingmen in this city. The
Governor was up at 6 o'clock this morning,
to take the train for Caldwell, but it was
two hours late. The Democrats at Cam
bridge came to his rescue. They tele
graphed him to come on to that town, as
they had chartered a special train to take
him to his meeting. When his train
reached Cambridge, the special, heavily
draped with flags and bunting, was waiting
for him. Hot only was the train waiting,
ut about 1,000 enthusiastic Cambridge
Democrats were at the station to escort him
to Caldwell.
At Byesvillc, Point Pleasant and other
stations along the route they heard of the
Governor's coming, and there were delega
tions at the stations. At Point Pleasant
and Byesvillc he left the train and made
speeches to the assembled farmers and
miners At the latter place they had hustled
about on an hour's notice and erected a
stand and decorated it quite profusely with
flags and hunting. Tbe climax of the Gov
ernor's progress to-day was reached at Cald
well, the county seat of Noble county. This
is a Republican town and county, but the
farmers and miners turned outuntil be
tween 8,000 and 10,000 were on hand. They
had a procession about two miles in length.
It was composed of farm wagons, men on
foot and on horseback and 15 brass bands.
The Governor was escorted to the public
square by this remarkable turnout, and
after dinner talked to them for over two
hours. He told them of the farm mortgage
indebtedness of the countv. and sonrht to
make it appear that in some manner Major
iuuiuuict ai leapuu&ioie ior tnis state OI
affairs. Then he branched ofl on wool.
This is a large wool-growing county, and
the Governor made an effort to prove that
Major McKinley's tarifl law was responsi
ble for the low price of wool. Some little
attention was given to State issues, and he
declared that he would not allow MeKinley,
Sherman or Foster to divert his attention
from the tariff by their utterances on the
silver question.
The Governor seems to be pursuing a
policy of ignoring Foraker. In none of his
speeches this year has he mentioned the
name of the ex-Governor, and he pays not
the least attention to the attacks of the lat
ter. After his speech here to-night he took
a special train from here to Zanesville so
as to be able to reach Colnmbus by 3 a. M.

THE
A CARTRIDGE ORDER
From Kaiser Wilhelm to Manufac
turers of Philadelphia.
HE WANTS THEM OF ALUMINUM.
That Is the Only Metal That Resists the
Smokeless Powder.
A MYSTERY ABOUT THE CONTRACT
Philadelphia, Oct 24. A mysterious
contract given by the German Government
to a Philadelphia firm for the manufacture
of a large number of aluminum cartridges
for smokeless powder came to light yester
day. Harvey Filley & Co., of No. 1223
Leiper street, are the contractors, but their
absolute refusal yesterday to confirm the
report shows that the Emperor William's
War Department officials arehedgingabout,
with all secrecy, their preparations for the
war next to come.
Only a few days ago a member of the firm
of Filley & Co. exhibited a number of the
cartridges to a friend, and stated that a con
tract with the Kaiser's Government had
been entered into. These hints were thrown
out unguardcdly,and had reached tbe ears of
strangers yesterday.
OXLY A PARTIAL ADMISSION.
The establishment where a part of the
work is in progress is on Leiper street,a small
thoroughfare between Market atid Chestnut
streets, running east from Thirteenth street
A visitor to the place yesterday found the
affairs of Filley & Co. shrouded in the great
est mystery. The head of the firm could
give no information of the contract, and de
scended into the depths of the cellar to con
sult his partner, Mr. Faulkner. The latter
appeared in his overalls, but would vouch
safe little information. While denying that
his firm would make cartridges for the Ber
lin War Office, he communicated some im
portant information.
"There is no doubt," said Mr. Faulk
ner, "that the German Government desires
a large shipment of aluminum from this
country, and it is to be used for the making
of cartridges for the army. It has been re
ported that the metal is to be used for army
decorations and accoutrements; but this is
all a blind.
ALUMINUM FOR SMOKELESS FOWDEP.
"You know the new smokeless powder is
creating a sensation in foreign military cir
cles. The powder destroys every metal that
has yet beeu discovered except aluminum.
It has been found, however, that aluminum
satisfactorily fills the bill, and hence the
contracts which the Germans arc trying to
negotiate "
Mr. Faulkner claims that his house is
now the only one in the world in which
allnminum plating is successfully accom
plished. It was rumoved in business circles
yesterday that if Filley & Co. are actually
making aluminum cartridges for the Ger
man Government several suits for infringe
ment of patent may result. Mr. Faulkner
claims that no patent of any kind will be
supported by the courts.
SETTLING A CASE BY FEAUD.
The Plaintiff Spirited Away, Dragged and
Coerced Into a Compromise.
New Haven, Oct. 24. A suit of Marie
Keinhardt, of New York, against Edward
Malley, the well-known drygoods merchant
of this city, for breach of promise, is to be
brought to public notice with attendant
circumstances, which make it extremely
sensational. In addition to the original
charges made in the suit, Mr. Malley is
charged with fraud in seeking to procure a
settlement of the case behind the back of
Mrs. Eelnhardt's counsel. James H". Webb,
counsel for Mr. Malley, to-day filed with
the Clerk of the Superior Court, in which
the. original suit was pending a notice
signed by Mrs. Keinhardt of her withdrawal
of tbe suit. Notice to the same effect was
served upon Mr. Hamilton, who immedi
ately, with the Clerk of the Court, served a
paper, signed by him as counsel, protesting
agains the withdrawal of the suit.
He alleges that the notice of the with
drawal of the suit was procured by fraud
through the agency of threats, drugs, etc;
that agents of Mr. Malley spirited Mrs.
Keihhardt away from her home in New
York, put her'on board a Sound steamer,
carried her to Boston, where her signature
to an agreement to settle was procured,
after which they put the woman on board a
steamer and sent her to Europe, whence she
returned as soon as she "comprehended what
had been done. He further says that Mrs.
Keinhardt is now desirous to proseeute the
case as originally intended.
NOT SOLD OUT TO POLITICIANS.
The Ohio Farmers' Alliance Denies That It
Is Tnrninc Over Votes.
Canton, Oct, 24. Special The Farm
ers' Alliance of Ohio has officially repudi
ated the efforts of the People's party to
capture that organization for political pur
poses. Israel Bixler, of Oval City, a mem
ber of the State Executive Committee of
the Ohio Farmers' Alliance, has received
from State Secretary Joshua Crawford, of
Galion, a copv of an official circular, in
tended for publication, signed by all the
officers on the Executive Committee except
the Vice President.
The circular states that the Alliance,
under its charter, dare not become a politi
cal party; that it is far more noble than a
political organization, and that the officers
of the Alliance "propose to be loyal to the
principles set forth in its declaration, and
allow every member the privilege of an
American citizen to vote as he pleases, and
do not propose to control or be controlled
by any party."

Burlington, Oct, 24. Special. Mat
ters came to a crisis in the McCrosh Steel
and Iron Company's affairs to-day. Mr. C.
W. Rand, of the National State Bank, was
appointed temporary receiver. A sensa
tional episode occurred in the office of the
company when President McCrosh entered
the room where an investigation of the ac
counts was being made and found a stranger
copying some accounts out of a ledger. He
sprang at the man and snatched tbe paper
from his grasp.
Mr. Rand, who was present, interfered,
when Mr. McCrosh grasped him by the

violence, charging him with deliberately
trying to wreck the company for personal
reasons or in the interests of the Barb Wire

CHAEQES OF C0N8PIEACY
Made Against a District Attorney for Con
victing an Innocent Man.
San Francisco, Oct. 24. On the night
of August 16, 1890, Samuel Jacobson,' a
trunk manufacturer, was shot and killed at
the door of his residence by unknown per
sons. Subsequently Sidney Bell and Ed
ward Campbell were arrested for the crime,
and May 7 Bell was convicted of murder in
the first degree. Campbell and one Charles
Schmidt, who had been arrested for bur
glary, were the chief witnesses against him.
Schmidt alleged that while confined in the
county jail Bell had confessed the murder to
him.
Schmidt was arraigned in the Superior
Court to-day on two charges of burglary,
and District "Attorney Barnes read two long
communication!! from Schmidt, .in which
the latter claimed to be innocent of the
charges, and stated that he pleaded guilty
for reasons best known to the District At
torney. He charged the District Attorney
with "having prompted him to give testi
mony against Bell on a promise of release,
and claimed that Campbell boasted of his
wife's influence with Judge Murphy, before
whom the case was tried, with the District
Attorney and with the police official?.
Schmidt accused him of using fraudulent
measures to secure Bell's conviction and his
own release, and declared he had a good
reason to believe that Bell never committed
the crime. District Attorney Barnes de
nounced Schmidt's statements as false and
as part of aconspirrcy to save Bell's life.
He asked leave to file the communications
as part of tbe court's records, but Judge
Troutt denied the motion, holding that the
letters were scurrilous and irrelevant,
Schmidt pleaded guilty to the charges of
burglary and the case went over for a week.
A POLICEMAN'S BAD BKEAK.
He Is Arrested for Stealing From Houses
He VI as Guarding.
New York. Oct, 24. Special Adolph
Bird, a uniformed special policeman, is in
Raymond street jail on a charge of burglary.
He has been employed in the Flatbush sta
tion of the District Telegraph Company,
and the office is only a few yards trom the
Bergen street police station. His duty
principally has been to keep guard over va
cant houses. During the past year there
have been several mysterious robberies in
houses under Bird's special supervision, but
his explanations of how he failed to dis
cover the thieves were so unsatisfactory that
recently Bird has been more or less under
detective supervision. Yesterdav after
noon, while Detective Sergeant Reynolds
was looking for some missing clothing in a
Bowery pawnshop, Bird entered with a
bundle under his arm. The color came to
his face when he saw Reynolds, and, turn
ing to the pawnbroker, he inquired if he
had any revolvers for sale.
Reynolds slipped out and took cover in a
house on the opposite side of the street.
When Bird came out with the bundle, and
started for Brooklyn, Reynolds returned
to the pawnshop and found that Bird, in
stead of buying a revolver, had pawned the
contents of the bundle, consisting of several
articles of silverwnre valued at about $190.
It was found that the silverware had been
stolen from the house of Percy G. Wil
liams, a well-known amateur actor. Bird
was arrested and confessed that he had
committed the jobbery. He entered the
house, he said, with askeleton key. It is
said he made other admissions inculpating
himself in other robberies.
A Convenient Law for Ohio Elopers.
Columbus, Oct. 24. Judge Evans, of
the Common Pleas Court, has rendered a
decision of more than ordinary interest.
It is of special importance to the hundreds
of minors who have found it most conven
ient to cross the Ohio river into Kentucky
in order to secure the tie that binds for life,
or until the divorce courts intervene.
Under the decision of Judgt Evans, a mar
riage valid under Kentucky laws is bound
to pe accepted as legal in Ohio or any other
place on the face of this green earth. The
decision is to the effect tbat Ohio guardians
have nothing to Eay in the matter, there be
ing no law of this State annulling mar
riages in other States.

THE COLORED PEOPLE UP IN ARMS
Protesting Against Being Obliged to Eide
in Separate Cars.
TIIEY INSIST THAT THE LAW MUST GO
t
fSFECrAI, TELEGBAM TO THE DISFATCH.l
New Orleans, Oct 24. The colored
people of Louisiana are wrapped up en
tirely in the political issue of "the Jim
Crow car," and are apparently willing to
let all other questions go for it. They are
taking but little interest in the lottery
fight, over which the Democrats are so much
divided, and say they are willing to let the
whites settle it among themselves, and they
are apparently careless about the offices or
the delegation to the Eepublican National
Convention. They insist, however, that
"the Jim Crow car" law must go, and they
will use their political power and take ad
vantage of the division in the ranks of the
whites to bring about this result.
This law was passed by the last Legisla
ture, and compels the railroad to. provide
separate cars for whites and blacks. It has
been especially obnoxious to the old free
element of the colored population, always
very large in New Orleans, who enjoyed
great privileges, even before the war.
the bitterest of all pills.
The Jim Crow car has been the bitterest
pill the Louisiana colored people have had
to awallow. It has already affected the rail
road business many of the race preferring
not to travel rather tban to be compelled to
use separate cars. Several meetingshave
been held to protest against it. A citizens'
committee has been appointed to Carry on
the fight, and the colored preachprs have
been asked to preach it frequently in the
pulpit.
Under these circumstances the blacks
have worked themselves up to a high pitch
of excitement, and the affair has assumed
the form of a crusade. Church cociables
and entertainments of all kinds have been
held to raise the fund to fight the Jim Crow
car, and money has been collected Irom
everybody in attendance. The qnestion
has been carried into every colored club
and association, and the colored man who
has objected to contributing to the Jim Crow
fund has been denounced as an enemy of
his race.
ONE MAN harshly called down.
The Bricklayers' and Masons' Union, the
Mechanics' Club, the Cigarmakers' Union,
the Arts et Metiers, and nil but one of the
labor organizations in which there are many
negroes, have contributed liberally. The
President of one of these societies, the
Artisans, refused to contribute, on the
ground that it was purely a labbr organiza
tion and not apolitical one, and he has been
denounced by the colored citizens as "a
slave" and an enemy to his race.
Race feeling is growing strong in the
Republican party, and the colored leaders
seem determined to make it a party of
blacks. They are carrying on a bitter war,
just now, against nearly all the white Re
publicans who hold office, notably "War
moth, Collector of Customs, Eaton, Post
master, and Smythe, Superietendent of the
Mint. Hitherto it has been customary to
divide the Republican delegation to the
National Convention, giving half to the
blacks and half to the whites, but it is prob
able that a nearly solid colored delegation
will be sent to the next convention.
SEALS AND THEIR POACHERS.
Progress of an Interestinc Investigation
Now Going On.
Tsan Francisco, Oct 24. Special
Major Williams, special agent of the Treas
ury Department, is out here now taking
affidavits to establish the fact that the
American poachers have not killed a larger
share of seals than have been taken illicitly
this year in Bering sea. His work shows
that the British Columbia seal poachers
whose vessels were cleared from Victoria,
gained the linn's share, their catch being
aboul four time? as great as that of the
American sealers.
Another point which the Government is
investigating is whether the new North
American Commercial Company has any
connection with the seal poaching. Some
enemy of the company declared they were
real owners of the J. H. Lewis, recently
seized while poaching on Copper Island, on
the Siberian coast. The special agent who
made an inquiry has reported that the
jNorth American Company is interested, but
that one of the Liebes Brothers, who are
heavv stockholders in the company, own
the Lewis, as well as having an interest in
other poaching vessels. It seems a question
of Poo Bah, as Liebes, of the North Ameri
can Company, disclaims any interest in the
venture of his brother, although they are
intimately associated in the fur business.
IN AN ASYLUM FOUR YEARS.
A Sane Tl'oman, Imprisoned There at Tier
Hnsband's Instance, Is Free at Last.
New York, Oct 24. Mrs. Bella Nau,
wile of August Nau, a wealthy retired
furniture dealer of Brooklyn, was this after
noon released from the Long Island Home, a
private insane asylum at Amityville, by
order of Justice Cullen, ot the Supreme
Court, on the ground that she had been
illegally committed. The woman has been
in the asylum tor four years. She was sent
there on the certificate of two physicians who
pronounced her insane.
Lawyer Albert Pack, on behalf of Mrs.
Nau, alleged that she was perfectly sane,
and that she was deprived of her liberty in
order to enable her husband to conduct him
self as he pleased. The Court, after hear
ing all the testimony and the story of Mrs.
Nau, ordered her release. August Nau is
well known in Brooklyn social and political
circles. He was formerly a member of the
firm of Lang & Nau, who conducted an ex
tensive business.
Tlostlle Indians Slaughtering Deer.
Denver, Oct. 24. Information from
Meeker is to the effect that at Lily Park,
near that city, two large bodies of Utes
are camped in the hills, each of them num
bering 100 bucks, beside the squaws and
many children. They are wantonly slaught
ering deer, and hundreds of carcasses are
left to rot on the ground. Further down
the divide and clear on down to Blue
Mountains, at the lower end of Rio Blanco
county, bands of Utes are busily engaged in
tbe same pursuit
Drowned Herself In 18 Inches of Water.
MCCONNELLSVILLE, O., Oct 24.
Special Miss Jane Taylor, the 33 -year-old
daughter of J. Taylor, a farmer at
Hooksburg, this county, committed suicide
last evening by drowning in 18 inches of
water. She was found face down in the
stream this morning. Although she has for
several years been an invalid, she has never
shown any disposition to make way with
herself. This is the fourth suicide here
within two months.

A WOODMAH'S PHILOSOPHY.
John Russell Lowell's Lesson From a
White Mountain Hermit.
As a young man Lowell visited the
White Mountains, says the New England
Magazine, and he used to relate this anec
dote as one of his experiences there:
I was walking- through the Franconia
Notch, and stopped to chat with a hermit,
who fed with gradual logs the unwearied
teeth of a sawmill. I asked him the best
point of view for the Old Man of the Moun
tain. "Dun no never see it."
Too young or too happy either to feel or
effect the Juvenalian indifference, I was
sincerely astonished, and I expressed it.
The log-compelling man attempted no justi
fication, but after a little while asked.
"Come from Bawsn?"
"Yes," (with peculiar pride.)
"Goodie to see in the vycinity o' Bawsn."
"O ves," I said.
"I 'sbould like, 'awl, I should like to
stan' on Bunker HilL You've been there
oflen, likely?"
"No-o," unwillingly, seeing "the little
end of the horn" in clear vision at the ter
minus of this Socratic perspective.
"Awl, my young frien' you've learned
now that wut u man kin see any day for
nothin', children half price, he never does
see. Hawthin' pay, nawthin' vally."
Briquettes From Coal Doit,
A new method of manufacturing bri
quettes from coal dust has been patented in
England. Instead of using pitch as a ce
menting material, substances of a glutinous
or farinaceous character, such as are ob
tained from wheat, barley, rye or other
cereals or vegetables, are employed, 50 per
cent of coal dust being the averaee pro-
Eortiou. The mixture may be kneaded br
and and sets in a short time, so that mold
ing under pressure is unnecessary, though
the use of molds may be adopted to aid
rapid manufacture.

WOES OF THE TROOP.
Philadelphia's Leading Military Or
ganization Hits the Law.
THEIR SIX GORGEOUS DELEGATES
To General Grubb's Wedding in London
Cannot Wear Their Swords.
N07EL WAT OUT OP THE PREDICAMENT
Philadelphia, Oct. 24. Tbe City
Troop is the swell military organization of
this city. Its members are all high in the
social swim, and when they undertake to do
anything they do it in a style that alto
gether dazzles the plebeians. The troop,
bowever, has just now run against a very
ugly snag that threatens to capsize its craft
in a flood of humiliation.
General E. Bard Grubb, Minister to
Spain, is a member of the City Troop, and
he is to be married shortly in London.
His brother soldiers sent six of their num
ber to London to act as ushers at the wed
ding and they are just now enjoying their
ocean voyage unconscious of the sorrow
that is besetting their brothers at home.
It seems that when the half dozen hand
some State defenders were chosen to go to
England the resolution directed that the
ushers should appear in the full dress uni
form of thsiCity Troop. This includes tbe
scintillating, clanking sabers, which add so
much vim to the dashing appearance of the
City Troopers.
up against international law.
The framers of the resolution evidently
did not know that there is an international
law in existence which forbids soldiers
from another nation to enter England
bearing arms. No matter what the num
ber of soldiers or what the occasion, the
laws of England will not bend, and the legal
barrier is so high that the gallant City
Troopers will never be able to surmount it.
"When the discovery was made yesterday
morning the tidings spread throughout the
city with lightning-like rapidity. By noon
there was hardly a City Trooper who had not
heard the dreadful news, and the soldier
boys ate their lunches with drooping appe
tites. It certainly does look a3 if the En
glish nation will never have an opportunity
to view the six samples of spleudor sent
across the ocean by the City Troop.
In the evening the discussisn took on a
more serious turn, and legal counsel was
had. One eminent lawyer raised the hopes
of the despondent warriors for the time be
ing bv the unique view he took of tbe affair.
"Why," said he, "you fellows are not
soldiers, and I don't honestly think any in
telligent nation will consider you as sucb.
Don't yon remember when Kaher Wilhelm
visited England he scornfully refused to go
and see the local militia drill", on the gronnd
that such could not be called soldiers?
Why, he said the 'members of a State
militia were nothing bnt nicely dressed
playthings. Now I think if you people go
and see Secretarv of State Blaine, he can
convince the English Government that the
City Troop is more of a social organization
than'anything else.
CAN DO WITHOUT THEIR SWORDS.
This view was altogether to unique too suit
the low-spirited warriors, and each and
every one decided that the City Troop would
rather sink to the bottom than to swim on
such a plank. Therefore other counsel was
sought but no loophole could be found, and
tbe troopers went to bed fairly worn out
with anxiety and disappointment
Tbere are some of tne members, however,
who do not see anything depressing in the
affair.
"Why," said one of them, "let the boys
land without their sabers, and even at that
they can make the Londoners open their
eyes, for their uniforms are sim
ply stunncs. Each one of the
six had & new uniform made
for the occasion, and I tell you they are
dandies. The doeskin trousers are skin
tight, and the material is us white as the
driven snow. The boots are a little longer
than the regulation, and tbe flaps on top are
as big as an old-fashioned scoop shovel.
The plnmes have been made extra large
and extra brilliant Oh, the boys will
make things hum when they get on their
togs!"
Another city trooper suggests that the
boys buy tin swords and attach them to
their beltfl. They could be gilded if neces
sary and made to look like gold and this
would add greatly to the effectiveness of
the uniform and the ceremony. However,
it looks as if the fierce clanking of bright
sabers will not disturb the peaceful quiet
ness of a little church in South Kensington.
A SCHOONEB'S CBEW LOST.
Twelve or Fourteen Men, Probably All on
Board, Find a Watery Grave.
Philadelphia, Oct. 24. Nothing
further has been learned up to this after
noon regarding the fate of the crew of the
fishing schooner Owing, of Noank, Conn.,
which was wrecked Thursday night off
Indian river inlet. As announced last
night two bodies were washed ashore, but
their identification cannot yet be positively
established.
Captain "Vickers, of the Indian Eiver
Lite Saving Station, has telegraphed that
he has found six dories belonging to the
schooner Bed Wing, and that her crew
probably numbered 12 or 14 men, all of
whom were probably drowned. Captain
Vickers says that his crew started about 8
o'clock Thursday night for the wreck,
which was abont 'five miles off. Thev strug
gled down the beach in the storm, crossed
Indian Itiver inlet and arrived at the scene
of the wreck about 10 o'clock. The schooner
was found in the breakers, bottom up, fast
going to pieces, and no survivors to be" seen.
The captain says nothing about the finding
of the two bodies.

Birmingham, Ala., Oct 24. A train
of 13 cars loaded with coal was wrecked on
the Columbus & Western Bailroad near
Goodwater to-day. As the train rounded a
