tro KNOWN CAUSE.

PRINORTON, 111., Oct. 27. Strang* gliouls arc at work in the oountry towns hereabouts. They haunt the graveyards at night, overturning stately granite monuments, breaking urns and tombstones and defiling the graves themselves. Schoolhouses have also been visited, maps, books and charts piled in heap* and burned, desks broken and walls defaced. The destroyers move in rotation from one town to another, going as mysteriously as they came, and leaving everywhere a trail of sacrilege and desecration. Whether the shameful work be that of a single man or of an organized gang of vandals is uncertain. The absence of any possible motive, however, makes it probable that only one person, and he a dangerous crank, if not a maniac, is involved.

Many Town. Visited.

The list of towns in which cemeteries are known to have been devastated includes Oneida, Kewanee, Yorkville, Buda and Galva. Three counties, Bureau, Henry and Knox, are covered in the field of operations.

At Oneida sixteen large monuments of marble and granite were demolished. At Galva, in addition to depredations committed in the cemeteries, the marble and granite works of Fred Viox were visited and in one night twentyfive monuments were destroyed.

Near Kewanee the Garret Brown schoolhouse was entered, and a number of books and charts burned. The same is true of the Euslow schoolhouse in the same vicinity. Twelve tombstones were overturned and broken in the cemetery at Neponset and twenty in that at Yorkville.

I.ois of Thousands of Dollars.

The money value of the monuments and tombstones destroyed aggregates many thousand dollars. But it is the unexplained spirit of sacrilege lying back of the vandalism which has aroused the people of these towns to desperate measures. In each of them placards have been posted announcing a reward for the capture of the supposed maniac, and the officers carefully watch and examine every stranger. The city councils in several of tin towns visited have taken official action, issuing proclamations and ordering armed guards to be stationed in the cemeteries.

Reward Offered.

All the known clews have been worked and yet, with $500 offered as a reward, no arreBts have been made. Every cemetery in the section is being guarded day and night. Every stranger who enters one of the small towns- which have been visited by the vandals is taken either for a criminal or a detective, and if he is wise he produces his credentials and informs the town officials who and what he is and why he is in the place.

At Work for Three Weeks.

Three weeks ago the ghouls began their work at Princeton. From this city tliey followed the line of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy railroad to the southeast, skipping a few places, however, as they went along. They do not seem to show any discrimination in the grave which they desecrate. The monumentsover the bodies of old and young, rioh and poor, are treated alike. Through each oemetery the scourge passes in the night, leaving a trail of bro"ken marble behind and doing an amount of work it would take half a dozen laborers two or three days in the daytime.

ON A STRIKE.

tttreet Car Companies In the Twin Cities Having Much Trouble. ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct 27.—The street

car employes have been locked out because of their request that the company discontinue the hiring of non-union and outside labor. The men have taken a determined stand for their rights and are confident of ultimate victory. There have been no disturbances and but for the absence of the cars on the street there is no indication of a tie-up.

About 150 of the union men who were employed by the street rail way company in Minneapolis were Thursday discharged*by the management. Some of them were told they were not wanted because they Were union mem. The others were handed a slip signed by the officers of the company stating that they were in good standing and that the company would in the future deal with them as individuals only.

The situation in both cities is regarded as serious, and the prospects are that a general strike will be ordered on all lines. Thursday night not a car of any description was running in St Paul with the exception of the intcrurbao cars. The cable cars ran up to 8 o'clock and were then called in because the company feared some trouble.

TAYLOR MUST HANG.

Oor. McKlnney Itefuses a Keprlere for the Virginia Outlaw. NASIIVILLK, Tcnn., Oct '27.— "Doc"

THE DAILY JOURNAL

DELAYING A VOTE.

The Debate in the Senate on Repeal Not Vet Ended. WASHINGTON, Oct 27. —Each day adds

new evidence of the completeness of the surrender of the silver forces. But they are dying hard. Most of the senators believed that the vote would begin Thursday, but Senator Stewart was still speaking when the senate closed and there is no telling when he will quit. While this talk causes temporary delay, there is no fear that it is designed to avert the inevitable vote. When Senator Morgan (dem., Ala-) has decided iu regard to making his speech the end of the general debate may then be said to be in sight. The senate, once started on the amendments, may not need more than two days to discuss a vote on them. Probably to-day Senator Voorhees will interrogate the silver men as to just when they will be ready to vote.

There will be no delay of action upon the silver bill in the house when that measure reaches that body from the senate becauseof the wantof ajuorura. Gen. Tracey has been looking into the matter, with the aid of the house officials, and especially the postmaster and assistant aergeant-at-arms. He lias made a count which showed the presence of 201 members of the house in the city.

In the senate Thursday the repeal bill was taken up and the vice president stated the question to be on the amendment to it offered by Senator Peffer (pop., Kan.) reviving the free coinage act of 1837. Senator Teller occupied the floor until 2:40 in continuation of his speech against the bill begun some time ago. As to the promised financial legislation attending the passage of the repeal bill Senator Teller said he did not believe there would be any such legislation in the next foui years. He retired in favor of Senator Squire (rep., Wash.), who addressed the senate in advocacy of the amendment of which he gave notice October 10. This amendment proposes to allow the owners of silver bullion to have it coined into standard silver dollars at the present ratio of 19 to 1, receiving standard silver dollar* for it to the amount of the commercial value of the bullion—the difference to be retained as a reserve fund by the treasury. This coinage is not to exceed $2,000,000 a month and is to stop when the aggregate amounts to $100,000,000. The purchase clause of the Sherman act is tc be repealed.

At the conclusion of his remarks Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) resumed the floor. The proceedings were enlivened by a colloquy between Senator* Stewart and Palmer (dem., 111.). Senator Stewart had been rehearsing hit well-worn theme that our financial affairs were about to pass under the management of England. Senator Palmer took ccoasion to fire a volley of questions at Stewart as to what he meant by this constant reference to English domination. The Illinois senator said that it was humiliate ing to him and other senators, as well as to the American people, to have the assertion made in the American congress that the United States was becoming the financial puppet of England. He added that such talk might do in the ardor of a stump speech, but it was astonishing to hear an intelligent senator keep repeating it a thtmgh he believed it Without concluding his speech Senator Stewart yielded, aud at 5:-10 p. in. the senati took a recess until 11 o'clock this morning.

QUESTION OF BONDS. S

.Senator Sherman States 111* Posstton ou the Gold Reserve. WASHINGTON, Oct 27.—Senator SlieV-

m.in definitely disposed of the story that he would seek to have the silver repeal bill amended so ai to authorize the issue of $200,000,001 worth of bonds by the treasury department to protect the gold reserve, by saying that he had no intention oi introducing that proposition in connection with the present question. He feels that the treasury department ought to have this authority for the purpose stated, but will defer his efforts in that direction until the beginning of the rcguiai s. .-.ion of congress, when heNvill intro duce an independent bill. ,He will probably make a brief statement tc this effect to the senate before the repeal bill is disposed of. The opinion that a bond amendment to the repeal bill would fail is almost unanimous in the senate.

BETRAYED HIS TRUST.

A 81. Louts Cashier Is a Defaulter for Over *100,000. ST. Lot'is, Oct 27.—One of the most

profound sensations of the year was caused by the announcement Thursday evening that Louis J. Silva,. cashier foi the Rainwater Hat co*npnny, wa» a defaulter for over $100,000, ana that as a result of hi* peculations the firm had been forccd to assign. The money evidently was spent in high living and in gambling on races, though from all that can be learned his family got the benefit of his crime. The actual amount of his shortage cannot be ascertained, so hopelessly tangled are the books of the company. (jraiti iilockade at UufTalo.

BUFFALO, X. Y., Oct 27.—Enormous receipts of grain al this poit in the last ten days have resulted in congestion. The elevators are full and the harbor is crowded with boats unable to get unloaded. The grain could not be sent out as fast as it came in, partly because there was a scarcity of canal boats aud the railroads allowed their ears to be scattered when comparatively few of them were needed during the summer. There is quite a fleet of canal boats making this way and a good supply of cars will also be available before the close of the week.

KTIU'CK IN A I MO.

SAX FHANCISCO. Oct. 27.—The Pacific Mail company's steamer City of New ork went ashore Thursday evening in a fog and will probably be a total lost. She sailed from China and Japan nt 8::i0 p. in. and went down the bay under a full head of steam. The fog was very heavy.

About 4:30 p. m. the bijp'ocean steamer was lost sight of and a half hour later the booming of cannon could be heard and signal iwktts could be seen as they burst above the fog. The signal station at Point Lobos at once sent a message into town, and- soon every tug in the bay was racing for Point Bonita. Arriving there it was found that the steamer was hard and fast on the rocks, having gone on them under a full head of steam.

Coufufclon ou Board.

As soon as the ship struck there'wan a scene of wild confusion. Two hundred Chinese in the steerage set up a howl that could be heard half across the Golden Gate. Capt Johnson was wonderfully cool, however, and he and his otlicers soon restored order. It is now reported the steamer is hard and fast on the rocks. There is eight feet of water in her hold and tugs cannot move her. The loss will be 8:100,000. No insurance. All the passengers have been taken oft' and are being brought back to the city.

Landed the Passengers.

Before signals of distress brought assistance from San Francisco the passengers were landed at Point Bonita by the ship's boats aud the life-saving crew from Golden Gate and Fort Point stations. About this time Capt Johnson decided to jettison the cargo and save as much as possible. He dispatched the third officer and crew of six Chinese sailors iu a small boat, directing them to row to San Francisoo for tugs and lighters, but the crew could make no headway against the strong tide and \^ere swept back. Another boat's crew, in command of the purser, was picked up by a tug and brought here.

The Wrecked Vessel.

The City of New York was built in Chester, Pa., in 1S75. but was practically rebuilt a few years ago. She was of 8,019.56 tons gross, :i89 feet long, 40 feet 2 inches beam and 20 feet 5 inches depth. She took away an unusually large cargo of flour and general merchandise.

Point Bonita, the rocky promontory which forms one of the heads at the entrance to the Golden Gate, has long been regarded as most dangerous, especially in thick weather. Half a dozen vessels have come to grief on it during the last twelve months.

SHOT BY A WOMAN.

A Prominent Resident of Omaha Fatally Wounded. OMAHA, Neb., Oct 27.—Henry J. Resier, a prominent society man and foreign correspondent for the Cudahy Packing company, was fatally shot at 7 o'clock Thursday evening by Mrs. Rudiger, wife of the head stenographer at Cudahy's. The two met in the street and after a long conversation Resier turned to go when Mrs. Rudiger pulled a revolver and fired. The first bullet missed him and she fired again, this time striking him in the back, the bullet lodging near his heart. She then put the revolver to lier forehead and pulled the trigger, but her hand was no longer steady and the bullet glanced off, only stunning her. Medical attendance was secured and she soon regained consciousness. She says Resier persecuted her in many ways, so she resolved to kill him and herself. Resier came here from Chicago about three years ago. He will die.

REV. HADDAWAY DEAD.

be Chaplain of the House of Representatlves Expires. WASHINGTON, Oct 27.—Rev. Samuel

W. Haddaway, chaplain of the house of representatives and pastor of Marvin chapel, Methodist Episcopal church south, sank into a comatose state Wednesday afternoon and died al 4 o'clock a. m. Thursday. The immediate cause of death was Blight's disease.

When the house met prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Smithson, who referred to the death of the chaplain. Mr. Richardson (dem., Teun.) offered a resolution, which was adopted, expressing the regret of the house and authorizing the appointment of a committee of seven to attend the funeral.

ALL RECOGNIZE-MELLO.

Surprise at IIio Janeiro at Adqiiral Stanton's Detachment. MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, via Galveston,

Tex., Oct. 27.—A correspondent in Rio Janeiro sends word that the report that Rear Admiral Stanton, of the United States cruiser Newark, had been detached aud ordered to Washington for saluting Admiral Mello and paying an official call on the leader of the insurgents, was received with surprise. He reports that from the outbreak of the revolution Admiral Mello has received recognition from the ships of foreign nations in the harbor of Rio. All the commanders of foreign warships exchange frank and courteous notes with hiin.

Keiiieuce Commuted.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—The president has granted a pardon to George Brashears, sentenced iu Arkansas to be hanged for murder, and the sentence commuted in 1889 to imprisonment for life. Iu extending clemency to the convict, the president says there was a lack of deliberation in the crime which belongs to murder and that there is a strong probability that Brasheart is innocent

CAUSED MITCH EXC1TKMKNTLINCOLN, Neb.. Oct. 27.—At 7 o'clock Thursday night, after the convicts at the Nebratka state penitentiary had been counted into the ooll house, fire was discovered in the foundry building and spread rapidly until the entire building, 250 by 50 feet in size, was destroyed. In this building was the farm machinery plant, occupied by the lessees, the -Western Manufacturing company the harness department, occupied by Buckstaff Bros. fc Co., and the manufacturing plant of the Lincoln Stove and Range company.

A Loss of 9100,000.

The prison is situated 3 miles from the city and before the fire department could render any available service the fire had gained suuli a start that the entire building was completely destroyed and the flreinen devoted their energies to saving the rest of the prison. At 9 o'clock the prison was safe, the fire having been brought under control. It is not believed that any lives have1 been lost The loss on the building and contents will reach to fully *100,000 and it may run even higher.

No Lives Were Lost.

The fire department was escorted by thousands, who crowded the street-car line and blocked the way with private vehicles. The loss to the state will be heavy, as all the farm supplies for the winter were destroyed. The first report was that a score or more were killed, but no lives were lost,'and nu serious Injuries resulted to the trusties who aided in fighting the fire. An act of heroism was that of the convict foreman of the boiler room, who stood his post with the roof blazing over his head. Had the boiler-room been destroyed the engines operating the waterworks would have been rendered useless and the result would have been far more serious. Work in the prison shops will be interfered with for some days, owing to the cutting off of power and steam connections.
