OKKS11AM POH GHOVER.
CIIICAOO, Oct. 8.—The Herald says: "Judge Walter Q. Ureshain will vote for drover Cleveland. The announcement of this intention on the part of the distinguished republican jurist was made Suturday morning upon authority that cannot be. disputed. The information was brought to town by gentlemen who came from Springfield, and confirmed here by democrats of high standing who had becomo in some way acquainted with the fact. By night it was, where demotratie and republican politicians were congregated, the general subject of conversation, and no one denied or doubted the statement. Judge Allen, of the1 United States district court at Springfield, 111., first made the announcement. Judge Gresham lias been in the state capital, sitting with Judge Allen, for several days. The other day, while conversing with Judtre Allen on politics. Judge Gresham told him that he should vote the democratic electoral ticket this fall. Judge Gresham did not speak confidentially, but told Judge Allen that he was at liberty to repeat the statement if he cared to do so.
Gen. Hlcklru In Politics.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—The statement In the dispatches to the effect that the republican national committee and Gen. Sickles had reached an understanding by which the hero of the Third army corps would take the stump against Mr. Cleveland have proved the sensation of the day in Washington. Many telegraphic inquiries to New York have been made as to what the national committee and Gen. Sickles had to say of the storv, but the ("misinformation received is to the effect that there is no denial. The Post says:
The story that Gen. Daniel E. Sioklcs will take tho stump tor Harrison has .not been denied. It 1h understood that the general will, lr he takos the stump, devote his time to the discussion of the pension question, und will talk simply as an old soldier to his comrades and make no attack upon the great principles of the democratic party. There Is nc doubt that the report, which la gen erally believed, has caused a sensation, and the fact that It has not been denied rather seems to corroborate It. A prominent democrat of this city is said to have a lettor from Gen. Sickles in which he gives utterances to sentiments indicated In the story that 1* afloat."
The alleged letter from Gen. Sickles to a prominent democrat was no part of the authority for the original story, as that caine from an official dircctly connected with national committee.
Cabinet Oflleers Will Mttke Speeches. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—It IB not true that l'residant Harrison has requested members of the cabinet to refrain from speechmaking during the campaign. If his health permits Secretary lClkins will make soveral speeches in West Virginia. Secretary Noble will speak in lowu and Wisconsin, Postmaster General Wanamaker will appear in New York and Philadelphia, aud Attorney (••neral Miller in Indiana. It is hoi expected, however, that any member of the cabinet will leave his public duties to engage in extended tours solely for the purpose of active work in the hustings. It has not been customary in the past for cabinet ministers to engage in such work, and the members of the present administration will but follow precedents of official dignity and decorum. l'leancd with the Outlook.

FAMISK CAUSES A RIOT.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct 8.—Homer Finlay, formerly a well-known citizen of San Antonio, but who for the past six years has been engaged iu the mercantile business in the city of Morlia, Mexico, arrived here Sunday and guve a vivid account of the famine riot which occurred in that city last Sunday, and of which but very brief mention tvus made in the City of Mexico newspapers, lie says that it was one of the most exciting aud pitiable scenes ever witnessed in the republic, and that another serious outbreak of the same kirul is threatened at any time.
ThounamW Starving.
Morila is the capital state of Miehoacan and tho residcuce of the archbishop of tho diocese It is one of the most beautiful citics in southern Mexico, but notwithstanding all of its attractions its several thousand poor people are on the verge uf starvation, owing to the total failure of the crops for the last four seasons and a scarcity of all food supplies. Mr. Finlay said:
Speculator* to Illume.
"When the futnlne was threatened several months ago several of the wealthy merchants of Morlia contracted for large quantities of com in the United States, the total shlpu.eni8 amounting to
75,00)
bushels,
which is enough to have supplied the suf* fering people. These speculators, however, put up tho prices and extorted what little money the poor people had tn a short time. For.tho past two months the sufTering among tho poor has been intense and many deaths hnvo occurred. The street* bccume thronged with beggars aud the hungry men, women and children made a hoartrendlng appeal for help.
The Mob Organize**
"This w&s kept up until last Suuday, whon tiu# starviug horde organized themselves into a mob and driven by desperation began a concerted attack upon tho food stores of the city. There were fully 6,000 people in the mob, and the police were utterly powerless to stop iu progress. One malcerla, or feed store, was entered and but little corn was found. The frcney of •he mob increased. The two regl* meuts of federal cavalry and one of infantry stationed at Morila were callcd out to quell the riot, but their appearance only added to the desperation of the starving people. The commander plnntod tho soldiers in front of the mob, but they fought their way through. Several persons were injured.
One Man Killed.
"Gen. Mcrcado. the governor of the state, by
thl9
time had rnnde
his
appcarance and came
near falling a victim to the vengeance of the mob, who claimed that he should have taken steps to relieve their suffering. The soldiers opened Are upon the people and one man was killed and several woundod. Acting on command of its leader the mob started for the gralnarles of Joseph Martinez, in which 5, 000 bushels of corn were stored. They broke down the doors and supplied themselves with all they could carry away. As soon as their temporary wants had been supplied the mob quietly dispersed."
FELL FROM A BALLOON.
Two Men at Peorln, 111., Sustain Accidents That Will Prove Fatal. PEORIA, 111., Oct. 8.—James Gomes and J. A. Loomis went up in a balloon from Central park Sunday and were thrown out Gomes' back was broken and Loomis had his breast caved in and an arm and leg broken. Gomes had both arms broken and it is doubtful if either of the men will live. Both were experienced aeronauts. Gomes is a Portuguese who has been in the business all his life and Loomis made his one hundred and sixtieth trip Sunday. The feat of going up in a balloon and dropping from a parachute is so old here that something new had to be devised. The men went up in a balloon, hanging

to a trapeze bar, on which they performed iu mid-air. They made tho ascension all right, although the wind was blowing hard. Tliey drifted fully a mile and alighted in a clump of trees. As soon as the balloon struck the trees the trapezo bar broke and they were dashed to the ground. Neither of them is 30 years of ago. Last Sunday thoy attempted a similar feat and the wind blew them into the lake. They were taken out half drowned.

Charges Against Mossra. Cuclaliy and Wright, of Chicago.
ENGINEERED A DEAL IN SHORT RIBS.
One of Their Victim* CuuiieK Their Ar»e*t lor Alleged Violation of the IlllnoU .Statute Against I'ool* anil
Combines.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—John Cudaliy, the
millionaire packer and speculator, and
Austin W. Wright, a wealthy member
The complainant in the case is Thomas I. Uouseh, who is described fi3T his lawyer, Otto (ireshatn, as a trader with large interests in Chicago aud Denver. Ilis complaint, is the outcome of the big deal in short ribs of pork, which has been the exciting feature of the last month's trading 011 the board. Uouseh charges that Cudahy and Wright are running a corner in this product in defiance of the state law.
Story of the Deal.
The deal was begun about the middle of September during the cholera scare. Wright at that titv.e was long on ribs and the discovery of the pest in New York was used to supplement the uneasy fooling resulting from the switchmen's strike in Jlnlfalo to depress the market. At this point Wright, who is close to Cudahy. enlisted the support of the millionaire and began to buy heavily. Ribs were then at $7.05. They got to S10.UO Saturday, but fell off slightly and closed about £10 even. The heavy purchases of the combination oliVet all the efforts of the short sellers, and a good many of them stand to lose a pretty penny by the ri^e unless the combination is broken by this action. Some heavy packers and commission firms have been squeezed in the deal, and board of trade men think Uouseh is only acting for these shorts.
Mr. Oresham sit id he wn* sure the action was hoyun in good faith. Uouseh was a trader who had been caught Mi a corner and he proposed taking the law to punish the offenders. So far a.* Mr. W'osh:m» knew his client was not acting for .mv of the big short sellers on 'change.
The criminal code fixes the punishment for a corner at a line of not less than SMJ0 nor more than £'2.000 foi the first ofVcuse and also provides for the forfeiture of the contract. The act under which the warrants were sworn out was passed by the last legislature, and went into effect July 1, 1SU1.
STRIKERS ARRAIGNED.
The lloine«1eal Men Acetified of Trianon Held In *10,000 Knll Karh. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 3.—The five members of the advisory board of the Homestead strikers who were arrested Friday night on a charge of high treason were arraigned before Justice l'axson Saturday. They pleaded not guilty and Justice Paxson on application fixed the bail of each at S10.000. Only one of thein. William liaird, had bondsmen at hand and the attorneys for the others said tliey would furnish bail on Monday. W. J. lirennan, chief counsel for the strikers.said that the probable outcome of the arrest would be the preferring of cliargos of high treason against the Carnegie ofllcials.
At Homestead tho strikers say that if a conviction is obtained they will carry the cases to the United States supremo court They claim that as a state cannot declare war there can be no treason to a state government, and that therefore the old law is not valid. The Lawrencevillc strikers are expecting that a like move will bo made against them.
