WESTERN.

Garland Mann, awaiting his fourth trial for the murder of Dr. Chenoweth, a prominent citizen of McDonald County, Missouri, was taken from the jail at Neosha by a mob who intended to lynch him, but Mann fought so desperately with his pocket-knife that his captors shot him to death. W’illiam Kearney, an insane man, who lives near Humboldt, Neb., was arrested at Kansas City while on his way to Washington to kill President Cleveland. He had a revolver, and was well supplied with money. A new railroad bridge across the Ohio River at Henderson, Ky., costing sl,000,000, was formally opened to traffic last week. Carpie Bearhead, a young member of the Creek Nation, who had committed several murders, was executed at Eufaula, Indian Territory, by being shot to death while seated on his coffin. About four hundred men attempted to shut down by force the mill of Rust Brothers & Co., at East Saginaw, Mich., but were put to flight by the police. Reports from correspondents of a St. Louis milling flrm at over three hundred points indicate the present condition of the wheat crop in the States named as compared with 1884 to be: Missouri 42’4 per cent., Illinois 8214 per cent., Indiana 55 per cent., Kansas 31 per cent. The prospects for bountiful harvests in Western Ontario were never more promising. The experiment ot Manager McVicker, of Chicago, with a stock company and a revival of a round of the sterling English comedies is meeting with encouraging support. Last week the “School for Scandal ” was given with a brilliant cast, and was enthusiastically received. The Times says: “It would be the highest praise to say that it was performed in a manner fully worthy of its merits, and such praise is really due the McVicker company. Itwasa brilliantcast; the parts were admirably distributed, and each found an intelligent, spirited, and accurate interpretation. It is a long time indeed since ‘The School for Scandal’ has been presented in this city in a matter so thoroughly satisfactory. The strong parts for which the piece is famous were handled in a way that made vivid individualizations of each, nothing of the brilliant dialogue was lost, and the humor, spirit, and vivacity of the piece were most effectually set forth.” “The School for Scandal” will be followed by that splendid old comedy, “She Stoops to Conquer.”

The Montezuma Hotel at Las Vegas, New Mexico, was burned, causing a loss of $3C0,000. » By a wreck on the Cincinnati and Eastern Railroad near Cincinnati three persons were killed and two fatally injured. Jarvis Snyder, wife and daughter, William HeQ'ron and George Hansen attempted to cross the Columbia River at Cascade Locks, Oregon, when the boat was carried over the rapids and all the occupants were drowned. -

SOUTHERN.

At New Orleans, Boyd Abadie, colored, killed Lizzie Laundry, his quadroon mistress, with a razor, and then cut his own throat. Thirteen gashes were found on the body of the woman. A large crowd assembled from Appomattox Court House, Virginia, and draped in mourning the house in which Gens. Grant and Lee signed the terms of surrender in 1885. The draping will remain thirty days out of respect to Gen. Grant. Gov. Ireland, of Texas, has written a letter to Attorney General Templeton, inviting bis attention to negotiations said to be in progress for the consolidation of certain competing railway lines in that State, in violation of its constitution and laws. The Attorney General is requested to take prompt action against the oilending corporations. A mob of disguised men made an attack on the Pike Count? Jail, Arkansas, and attempted to kill two brothers named Polk, under sentence for murdering a peddler, whose body they afterward burned. After firing on the prisoners, and supposing them to be dead, the mob left. Notwithstanding the ravages of caterpillars and cotton-worms in some parts of the South, the cotton crop of 1885 will be the largest gathered in many years. In Ar-

kansas the yield of both cotton and corn promises to be extraordinary. The oats crop in Central Illinois will be heavy, most fields averaging fifty bushels an acre. A splendid crop of hay has been harvested, and corn is in excellent condition. The first bale of new cotton was received at St. Louis last week, and brought fifteen cents a pound. It was from Bryan, Tex., and graded middling. Three murderers, two of them negroes, were hanged at Fayettville, N. C. At New Orleans a colored man died on the scaffold for the murder of one of his own race. Judge James Garland, said to be the oldest Judge in the world, and it is believed the oldest member of the Masonic fraternity in the United States, died at Lynchburg, Va., aged 95.

Washington telegram: “The committee appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to investigate the condition of the coast survey has submitted its report, which shows the existence of many scandalous abuses in that bureau, for which Prof. Hilgard, the recent Superintendent, is held largely responsible. The committee deprecates the reinstatement of any of the suspended officials in their former positions.”

A cable dispatch from Mr. Lee, Secretary of the American Legation at Vienna, has tftn received by the Department of State at Washington. Mr. Lee advises his superiors that the Austrian Government has positively declined to receive Mr. Keiley as United States Minister. The authorities of Austria give no reason for their action and merely say they will not receive the official. Mr. Keiley is now in Paris, where he has been for some weeks. He also has been informed of the decision of the Austrian authorities.

Secretary Whitney has served notice upon Mr. John Roach and his assignees that the contract for the building of the steel cruisers Chicago, Atlanta, and Boston have been forfeited, and has issued orders to the chiefs of the naval bureaus of steam engineering and construction and repair to take Charge of the unfinished vessels, materials, etc., and complete the work according to specifications.

The Nebraska Republican State Central Committee have fixed Oct. 11 as the date for holding the State Convention at Lincoln. The fourth annual meeting of the National League Civil Service Association convened at Newport, R. I. Seventy-five members were present from all parts of the country. George William Curtis, the President, delivered an address. The Civil-Service Commission submitted a report of . its investigation of the charges against Postmaster Jones, of Indianapolis, to the President. The commission acquits the accused official of violations of the civil-service act or rules, but intimates that he was indiscreet in his utterances before he understood the purport of the law as fully as he does now. From the inauguration of President Cleveland to the 25th of July, says a Wash

ington dispatch, there were appointed 4,043 fourth-class postmasters. Omitting appointments in Territories, the appointments to the States were as follows: Stat?. No. State. No. Indiana327'New York.3lo Virginia.32l Ohix 310 Missouri....24o Illinois2l7 Pennsylvania2o9 North Carolinal9) Arkansasls2 Kentucky 134 lowa 117 Georgialo2 Tennesseelos Michigan 16 Wisconsin 96 West Virginia 95 Vermont )8 Alabama. 84 Texas 83 Mississippi 73 Kansas 70 South Carolina 08 Maryland. 62 Louisiana 49 New Jersey 46 New Hampshire 43 Maine 38 Minnesota 37 Nebraska 32 California 30 Massachusetts 2 Florida 21 Oregon 161 Colorado is Connecticut 13 Del aw .re 10 Nevada..... sißhode Island 2 The great majority of these appointments have been made to fill vacancies caused bydeath or resignation. It seems almost incredible, but it is a fact that 222 Ohio men have resigned their postoffices, which beats the record for Illinois, where 149 of the appointments were made to fill vacancies caused by resignations. The total removals have amounted to 998, of which 163 were in Virginia, 132 in New York, 98 in Indiana, 74 in Ohio, 55 in Illinois, 47 in Wisconsin, and 11 each in Michigan and lowa.

MISCELLANEOUS. Fears are entertained in Utah of a general uprising among the Indians ot the Territory, who, it is claimed, are being incited to mischief by Mormon emissaries. Gen. Howard has left Omaha for the West to investigate the situation. The United States Consul at Vera Cruz says the yellow fever is fast increasing at that place. John Lohman, a young American, who boarded the steamer Werra, at Bremen, just before her departure for New York, was caught in the act of robbing the purser’s safe, while at sea, of diamonds valued at $12,000. The officer had been chloroformed. Lohman will be sent back to Germany. The impression in official circles at Ottawa is that Riel will suffer the death penalty, notwithstanding the efforts of the French-Canadians in his behalf. There are no prospects of an early termination of the civil war in Colombia. The leaders of the insurgents are preparing to unite forces with a view to active operations. The schooner James A. Garfield, twenty-six days from the Arctic Ocean, brought news to San Francisco that the bark Napoleon, of New Bedford, was crushed in the ice and twenty-two lives lost. Commissioners have been appointed to take a census of the Northwest Territories, with a view of giving those now unorganized representation in the Dominion Parliament. A buggy containing a man named Dempsey, of Hamilton, Ontario, his sister, Fred Sanders, of St. Thomas, and her six-year-old son, was run over by a railway train at the latter place, all of the occupants being killed.

Business failures throughout the country during the week, as reported to R. G. Dun & Co., numbered 162 for the United States and 18 for Canada, as compared with a total of 201 for the previous week. All sections show a diminution of business casualties. The Governors of five of the Northern States of Mexico have met in secret council, with the idea, it is alleged, of discussing a plan of secession, to take effect should the English debt In its new form be forced on the people. In a recent interview with a Sergeant who fought under Gen. Reno in the last battie between Gen. Custer’s command and the Indians, Sitting Bull denied that Rain-in-the-Face killed Custer, and said that so many were firing at him at the same time that' no one could tell who did.

FOREIGN.

It is thought that the .recent article in the North German Gazette attacking France was published as a preliminary to forcing a large increase in the military budget. The Rector of the University of Berlin, at a celebration in honor of Emperor Wi.liam, gave the toast: “Long Live Peace. Should, however, the arrogance of our neighbors pass from daring words into daring deeds, they will learn that the old spirit still lives.’’ A leader in the North German Gazette accusing France of trying to stir up a war with Germany has produced a profound sensation in Paris. The report of Osman Digma’s death is denied. Lord Randolph Churchill, Secretary of State for India, introduced the Indian budget in the House of Commons last week. He announced a deficit of over £1,000,000. The late Government, not Lord Salisbury or Lord Dufferin, was to blame for this state of affairs. He condemned the Marquis of Ripon, the late Viceroy of India, for not looking ahead. The extra permanent military charge, he said, would probably reach £200,000 yearly. He declared that economy was the only way of meeting the deficit. The panic caused by the rapid spread of cholera in Spain is increasing, entire villages having been deserted by their inhabitants. It is stated at Dublin that Robert Farquharson, the defaulting manager of the Munster Bank, sailed for Spain on the night of his flight. The Afghans, supposably assisted by British officers, are rapidly fortifying Herat. The Ameer is increasing the force of troops in the city, and his son will be placed in command. Every preparation is making for a Russian attack. A recent flood in the province of Canton, China, caused by the bursting of several embankments, inundated an extensive territory, sweeping away a number of villages, and involving the loss of 10,000 lives. The rice and silk crops were almost ruined, and a vast amount of property was destroyed.

LATER NEWS ITEMS.

A dispatch from Saratoga says Colonel Fred Grant has accepted the pfosition of engineer of a railroad company, which is backed by the Baltimore and Ohio and Wisconsin Central, for the purpose of making a new entrance into Chicago. In regard to his mother’s health. Colonel Grant said: “My mother is physically very strong, and I have no doubt that in time she will regain her usual health. She has been confined unremittingly for a long time to my father's sick-room. If she had not been very strong she would have broken down long ago. I think that with a change of surroundings she will recover rapidly. As to the future p ans of the family, I cannot speak very definitely. We shall remain on Mount MaoGregor until fall, when the family must separate. Mrs. Grant will doubtlesss occupy the house on Sixty-sixth street.”

—The most interesting thing at alate old settlers’ reunion at Plainfied, perhaps, was the presence of two twin brothers and their twin wives. The brothers are named March, or Martz, and live in Arcadia, Hamilton County. They are 87 years old, and their wives, who are twin sisters, are 84. The two couples were mairied at the same time—the 27th day of the month. Each has reared twelve children—seven sons a id five daughters—every one pf whom was born on the 27 th day of themonth. The parents and children all belong to the same church, the Christian. The fathers, to a stranger, look alike as two peas, and so do the mothers. The maiden name of the latter was McCoimick, audit was stated that their father was the first white man in Indiana. His cabin stood where is now the site of thenew State House at Indianapolis. Married in Haste. [Letter from Vincennes.] There is a story told in this city of twolovers who courted, wooed, won, wed, and were separated, all in twenty-four hours. Last Saturday a well-dressed and latheihandsome stranger arrived here and began meandering aimlessly around town. Beseemed to have no particular miss on here. In his careless walk the stranger, whose name is Jerry Kelly, and who claimed to be a nephew of Senator McDonald, halted in front of a house on Main street. He entered, and in just thirty minutes fell madly in love with one of the young women residing there —Miss Marie Mosier, on whom he had never laid eyes before. Miss Mosier makes no pretensions to a display of that feminine fascination or witchcraft which is supposed by some to entwine itself around the heart of susceptible males. Nevertheless, the stranger fell deep in love as sincerely as ever any man did. His love was reciprocated, and the two were engaged. Immediate marriage was proposed and accepted by the girl. Kelly left the house shortly afterward, only to return again in a buggy. He called for his sweetheart. “I’ve got them! I’ve got them!” he exclaimed, excitedly, meaning the marriage certificate, which he waived in the air. Miss Mosier was requested to go into the house and put on her hat. She complied and soon returned, jumped into the buggy, and the two drove rapidly down the street to the office of a Squire and were made man and wife. The couple returned to the house in which the bride was first seen, courted, wooed, and won. She startled her friends by the announcement that she had just been married, and before they had recovered from the shock she had. procured her wearing apparel, jewelry, etc., and was off again with her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly engage 1 lodgings at a. boarding-house near the Union Depot, where they cooed and billed like doves until the time came for them to retire. Bright and early the next morning the inhabitants of Mrs. Kelly’s former home were again sartled to see her return alone. Being questioned, she told them that her husband said he was a nephew of Senator Joe McDonald of Indianapolis; that he had married her to give her a home and because he loved her. The new-made wife, however, did not like the treatment of her liege lord, and considered his methods of matrimonial devotion too much at variance with her own ideas on that point He wanted to whip her, she says, and threatened to kill her. One day of married life was quite enough for her, and she preferrd to return to her former life of single blessedness. Kelly disappeared suddenly the next day and has not been heard of since. It is said that years ago he was connected with the “William Tell” saloon here, which at that time was conducted by Prof. J«ke Brienig, leader of lhe Ringgold Band of Terre Haute.
