In Which Position III Muscatine County. la.. He Is Accused of Embezzling •8U,000 — Johnson’s Career In Honolulu, Where He Was an Important Kii;ure In Church and Political Circles. ! San Francisco, July 3.—William ( Henry Johnson, the former treasurer of Muscatine county, la , who, it is alleged, I embezzled #80.000 of municipal funds and then fled, was brought from Honolulu on the Australia yesterday by H. F. Wylie, sheriff of Muscatine county. To the Hawaiian officials, Johnson, when arrested, admitted his identity. He declares that Ins shortage docs not amount j to more than *.\00:>. which, he says, was made good by his bondsmen. He claims that Ids arrest is the re-uit of the | efforts of some political enemies. The charge against him, upon which j the requisition papers were obtained, is ! forgery, he having, as it is charged, forged the n lines of county officials and i others to obtain the money embezzled, which is said to have been lost in land speculation. After his flight from home Johnson went first to Kansas and thence to California. When he arrived in San Francisco he says he had hut 50 cents. Meanwhile his wife, through the sale of a house and other private property, realized $750, of which she forwarded him $200 and he quietly departed for Honolulu. Johnson's Career In Honolulu. Arriving there about a year ago he went to work as a solicitor on a newspaper and was promoted to bookkeeper. While thus employed lie secured a half interest with a blind man in a stationary business and afterward bought out his partner's interest and branched out as a confectioner. Then he began to figure prominently in political and church affairs in Honolulu, rendering valuable aid to the govermneut during the recent uprising. His wife arrived on the scene about three months ago and was also admitted to the church as well as to the society circles of Honolulu. When Johnson arrived at Honolulu he dropped the ‘‘William” from his name but one day a friend, so he says, recognized him and notifying the Iowa officials of his whereabouts, with the result that Sheriff Wylie went down on the Australia armed with the necessary requisition papers for Ills arrest, which caused quite a sensation in Honolulu. IMPORTANT COURT RULING. City Councfl’M Levy of » Streetcar Tax !li a hl to lie Legal. Df.nver. July 3.—The state supreme court has handed down an opinion that holds that the levying of a license by the Denver city council on all occasions is entirely legal. In 18Mi the council passed an ordiuanee placing a $10 tax on all streetcars. This amount was afterward increased to $35. The Denver City Cable Railway company was the first corporation to refuse to comply with the terms of the ordinance. Its representatives were arrested and fined and were ordered to pay the tax of $35 on each car owned by them. The defense’s attorneys appealed. Although the supreme court’s decision does not specify directlv what articles or occupations the city council may tax or license it is plainly inferred that it has limitless power and may pass ordinances compelling every hue of business, trade or occupation to pay an annual license

fee.

FINALLY LAUNCHED. New Yacht Dcfcnilcr Kclca.ol From the Way. After Forty-eight Hour*. Bristol, R. I., July 2.—The new yacht Defender, upon which the hopes of America depends for victory over the English boat with which she is to compete next fall, now rests gracefully in the water of Bristol bay at the dock of the Hereshoff works, having been released last evening from the position into which she became fastened during an attempt to launch her on Saturday A thorough examination of the hull by divers has been made and it is pronounced uninjured bv its 48 hours’ suspension near the end of the ways. Reorgiml*atlon of WhUky Trunt. Sprinofiklp, 111., July 3.—The secretary of statu yesterday granted a license for the incorporation of the old whisky trust under the name of the American Spirits Manufacturing company, principal office in Chicago; capital stock, $85,000,000, #7,000.000 of which is preferred and t tie bala common stock.

ARCHIII^HOP KENRICK. bull to the aged prelate last Wednesday morning. The news seemed to cause Archbishop Kenrick no surprise and when the reading was concluded he said: ‘’This is a very proper step. I shall place no obstacle in your way. but shall without delay make out deeds transferring to you the church property which 1 now hold.” This is a great re lief to Archbishop Kain, who was doubtful how his age 1 predecessor would receive the news. MINISTER WAS EUCHERED. Dr. Brook* Could Not llrrak U|> tho Kuchre Fail nnri UA*i(pirt. Memphis. July 2. — Dr. John A. Brooks, at one time a candidate for vice president ou the Prohibition ticket, pastor of the Linden Street Christian church, the congregation of which in- I clndes many of the most prominent so cioty people of the city, has resigned his charge as the result of an unsuccessful crusade against the progressive euchre fad. The doctor has preached some vigorous sermons recently ou this evil and ; has remonstrated with his flock in private. Finding that his exhortions did not produce the desired result, Dr. Brooks made a personal issue of the matter and tendered his resignation, which was promptly accepted. MANY PEOPLE HOMELESS. DUastrou* Fire In a .Military Oninitini; F<*t>ihliHhiiit-iit In Frnuce. London. July 3.—A Paris dispatch to ! The Times says that one of the most disastrous fires in recent years occurred ! in Godillot’s military outfitting establishment yesterday. The water failed and it was only possible to some extent to prevent the fire spreading, but several houses iu the vicinity were also ' burned. One fireman was killed and 15 in- J jured. Two thousand people were thrown out of employment and 375 poor people are left homeless. A repulsive aspect of the terrible event was the presence of a crowd of thieves, who ransacked the neighboring houses, frightening the inmates and seizing the 1 things portable. by Keitarul Oftiriiiln. Spokake, Wash., July 3.—Two sensational arrests were made here yesterday in connection with a gigantic con- i spiracy to rob the government by issuing illegal Chinese registration certificates. Those arrested are James Graham, register of the land office at Cour d’Aline City, and Edward Rick. Warrants were also in the hands of a deputy United States marshal for the arrest of W. F. Pollard and Harry Tilton, formerly of this city, but now at Kendi rick, Ida. Complaints were sworn to : I by F. D. Schuyler, Chinese inspector, j sent out by the treasury department at | Washington, with headquarters at Seattle. FoihiiI lii t tin Klv«r. Cincinnati, July 3.—Mr. A. G. Jen ney, who for two years has been the esteemed bookkeeper of the Consolidated Coal company in this city, was found dead in the < )hio river yesterday. He is highly connected here, his books are all right and his home was happy. All this seems to exclude any other supposition than criminal violence as the cause of his death. In Default of lionil. Santa Fe. N. M., July 3.—In default of the #50,000 bond required by United States Commissioner Pope, .lames Addison Peralta-Reavis, charged with attempting to defraud the United States out of $100,000, has been lodged in the United States prison connected with the New Mexico penitentiary by United St tes Marshal Hall. Struck by itn Engine. Blissfield, Mich., July 3.—Rev. H. N.

VOTED MANY YEARS AGO. Resident* of Carter County, I£y. v Preparing to Itenrat the Payment of n Kail* road I ax Vot* d 40 Years Since, the Road Not Having Been ILiilt—Deputy Collector Narrowly Escapes Lynching. Ashland, Ky., July 3.—In Carter county there is intense excitement because of the appearance of strangers who acknowledge their mission to b^ to collect the famous railroad tax that lias been in dispute for 1') years. This tux grows out of the lion l issue of #75,000 to the Elizabethtown and Lexington and Big Sandy railroad from Lexington to Catiettsburg. The company after securing the bonds abandoned the project, selling the bonds at a lilnral discount to David Sinton, a millionaire of Cincinnati. Through a mistake tho county attorney in drawing up the contract the road escaped the liability for construetion, and their refusal to meet their agreement gave rise to the contest that has ever since been successfully

maintained.

Organized to KcgUt Payment. All who voted the bonds, save a single resident of Carter county, are dead and 3,500 of the new generation have organized to resist the collection. Numerous attempts have failed and it is now regarded us worth your life to attempt the collection. Two months ago a deputy collector after making a levy upon the farmers' property escaped being lynched by 500 people only by slipping off in the night. The men are determined that no collection shall be made and openly announce it. If Peck and his deputies resort to imperative measures there will be bloody scenes. All that holies the matter from a crisis now is a doubt of the sincerity of tho collector and his allies. I BOUND TO WEAR BLOOMERS. Female ItirvclintM Ht CtidillHC, Mirh., Aak the Police to Protect Them. Cadillac, Mich., July 3.—A few weeks ago four or five ladies appeared upon the streets in bloomer costumes, and such a storm of ridicule arose that they never afterward repeated the experiment. Lately a meeting of the fair devotees of the wheel was held, when it was unanimously decided to adopt bloomers, in spite of Mine. Grundy's protest, and to appear so attired in tho bicycle parade July 4. It was further determined to ask police protection against the hoodlums who, ou the occasion of their first appearance, kept up a constant howl of derision, and in several instances resorted to personal attacks. There is every reason to believe theie will be a good sized riot if the reformers are interfered with on their next appearance.

TLICKIDLK C UI 51 L. Drnt:il Treatment of a Voting <i rl by >% (■>(ng of TniigliM. Muncie, Ind., July 3.—Last Tuesday evening Lillian Favors, the 13-year-old daughter of Wilson Favors, residing near New Corner, 14 miles northwest of Muncie, left home with Richard Smith, a neighbor’s son, to attend a party. In a lonely place along the road a dozen young men joined Smith. The girl was bound, gagged and carried into the woods where she was kept a prison, r until she escaped Saturday evening. She had been repeatedly assaulted by 15 different men, and when she arrived home it was hours before she could tt 11 her startling story. Her absence caused no surprise, as she was to remain with a girl friend until Sunday. She gave the names of her assailants and warrants have been issued. Frank Miller has been arrested and the officers and infuriated citizens are scouring the country for the others. The Favors are highly respected, and the girl is a beautiful child, developing into womanhood. Her condition is very serious, and there are grave doubts as to her recovery. 8TATK NOTES.

BICYCLES ARE VEHICLES. Court Killing Against Tlicir Storage In Ollice liiiiitlingx. Chicago. July2.—A decision of much importance to cyclists was rendered by Judge Payne yesterday when he denied the petition of John H. Breckenridgo to compel the Fort Dearborn building proprietors to allow bicycles stored there by tenants. Breckenridge, who is an attorney with ofiiees in the Fort Dearborn skyscraper, had attempted to leave his wheel lit the basement during office hours, and upon permission being refused carried the matter to the courts. Judge Payne declared that bicycles are mere vehicles and as mueh out of place inside a business block as a horse and

INTEREST IN LIQUOR LAW. Little Prepiimtinn II** Keen Made to Coin ply With It* I*r«»vi*ioii* Liquor League Said to Ilo Prepurmi to Wage a Contest—Crtittlied by :$ Cur -Caught hy h Caving K.itik—State Notes. Indianapolis, July 2. — Governor Matthews, previous to his departure for the east some days ago, prepared his proclamation for the taking effect of the laws passed by the last session of the legislature and instructed 1’rivato Secretary King to promulgate it so soon :ts receipts for copies of the new statutes had been received from all the counties. These were expected as early as June 20, bnt it was not until yesterday that all had been received and the proclamation given to the public. Most interest seems to center in tho Nicholson temperance law. Tho socalled State Liquor league is alleged to have #50,000 in reserve with which to contest its provisions, and it is said that that element which heeds the league’s behests will pay no respect to the enactment. (in the other hand, the State Brewers’association lias advised strict ; compliance with the law until it shall have been legally overthrown. Nut much evidence of intent to obey the law is as yet noticeable in this city. One Washington street liquor dispenser has adorned tho front window of his place with a glaring sign reading: “This Is a Temperance Saloon.” The city ! authorities have issued instructions to the police to arrest violators, and every effort will be made to have the requirements of the law lived up to. MOTHER'S AWFUL DEED.

Polfton* ll$*r Two CliiMr*‘ii nml Then Attempt* Her Own Dr*truction. Jeffersonville, Ind., July 2.—An awful tragedy was discovered yesterday by Mrs. J.T. (innate when she went to tho home of her sister, Mrs. Nannie, widow of the late Benson Bennett, and found it closed. Failing to arouse the inmates she broke into the honse and discovered a most gastly sight. Mrs. Bennett and her two children, Homer, 6 years old, and Lotta, aged 12, lay upon the bed, and an overwhelming poisonous stench filled the house. Both children were dead and partly decomposed, but the mother was still breathing. The shrieks of Mrs. Ganate attracted the neighbors, and physicians were sent for. Mrs. Bennett had written a note directing that, her sister and tho coroner be notified. Evidently she gave the children opium ou Friday night and watched them die, then took the poison herself.
