DOWN WITH A RUSH.

WHEAT DROPS TWO CENTS UPON THE CHICAGO BOARD. The Pageant In New York Harbor—WUcomln Madman Runs Amuck Sensational Disclosures in the Maybriek Case —Choctaws Can’t Settle Their KlecUon. Stricken from the Roll. ' The Minister of Militia has struck off the *pll of militia officers of Canada the name of Lieutenant E. A. Macdonald, of Toronto, who has recently been lecturing in Boston In favor of the annexation of Canada to the United States. Mr. Bowell says he does not wish to interfere with the freedom of speech, but ho thinks Macdonald’s views Incompatible with holding a commission in her Majesty’s forces. TO FREE MRS. MAT BRICK. A Dying Man Confesses He Committed the Crime She Now Suffers For, 1 In the next issue of the Review of Re's lews Mr. Stead, its editor, will have an article headed, “Ought Mrs. Mayhrlck Be Tortured to Death?” in which be rigorously and at great length reopens the whole case of the unfortunate American woman who Is now undergoing a sentence ofllfe-imprlsonmeni'in Woking prison for 1k! alleged poisoning of her hiTsband, who was a well-known Liverpool merchant. In the course of his article Mr. Stead says that both he and Sir Charles Russell, the attorney general, have received from Bouth Africa copies of the deathbed confession of Harry Wilson, who declared that be, with a woman whose name is not given, placed arsenic In the medicine that was administered to Mr. Maybriek during his last Illness. Mr. Stead investigated into this matter, and declares that he attaches weight to the confession, “but,” he adds, “even if it wore valueless, it would be of service in directing attention to the travesty of justice which has exposed Great Britain to serious objections from the United States, and which is not unlikely to become a subject of diplomatic remonstrances. ” Mr. Stead makes a strong appeal for the release of Mrs. Maybriek before Christmas. “Her condition is such,” he says, “that she will speedily die If she is not released.”

BIG CROP OF WHEAT. The Government Report Sends the Mar- . ket Down—Scramble to Unload. The Government crop report has surprised the speculators. Another great crop of Wheat—s2o,ooo,oo3 bushels, as Indicated by the returns to the agricultural bureau at Washington—caused a lively time among the bulls aqd bears iti wheat pit, says a Chicago dispatch. There was a drop of \\i cents per hnshel in the price of Decent:, ber wheat as soon as trading commenced the other morning, and a further decline of about % cents in the course of the day. The commission houses wye kept busy on orders To sfop lo3se»~on wheat previously bought Logan k Co. were prominent sellers aqd Counselman & Day, Mllmlne, Bodman k Cot and Norton k Worthington were among the heaviest buyers. There was weakness- in corn and oats also and a wild scramble among the holders of those articles to get rid of previous purchases. Corn and oats each declined lc per bushel Even pork shared in the general decline and dropped about 20c per barrel. The meaning of the whole thing was that the speculators had made their minds up for another year of great abundance, and, although that means lower prices, it also indicates general prosperity and cheap food for the millions. OCEAN BELLES PARADE. Most Elaborate Naval Display Gotham Has Ever Witnessed. As a popular demonstration the New Tork naval display Tuesday in honor of Christopher Columbus was unequaled in the history of the United States. War ■hips, yachts, merchant ships, tugs, excursion steamers, lighters and barges In squadrons, fleets, shoals and masses cov«red the waters of New York harbor as wild fowl cover the feeding grounds of Currituck sound. More people were afloat on these vessels than were ever seen afloat together by any American eye, while more than two million spectators gathered along the shores of the harbor and river to gaze in wonder or admiration. But as a parade, an orderly procession upon the sea, it was an absolute failure. It was a mob afloat, a moving derelict, an animated mass of flotsam.

MORE TROUBLE FEARED.

Another Outbreak Likely to Occur In the Indian Territory. At Caddo, L T., it seems that the trouble between the JoneS and Jackson tactions over the late Choctaw election has not been Bottled. Nevertheless clared elected by the council "Xad sworn in. Late the other evening near Boggy Depot, a small town fifteen miles north of Caddo, Dave Parkins, a former Deputy Sheriff, shot and killed another Choctaw. Sheriff T. B. Turnbull and Deputy Sheriff Forbes Vanning left for the scene of trouble to arrest Parkins. It is feared that the worst has not begun. Trouble is likely to break out at any time and anywhere. The last parties went into Senator Bryant's bouse intending to kill him, but be was not at home. FIENDISH DEED OF .A MADMAN. Kills His Wife and Attempts the Lite of His Daughter. In the town of Tilden, near Chippewa Palls. Wla, Tuesday morning, Daniel O’Brien shot and killed his wife while she 'was sitting in a chair. He then tried to aet fire to the house and cremate the body, bat his daughter’s arrival prevented thla O’Brien started after her, but she escaped, giving the alarm to the neighbors.

At Stillwater, Minn., Victor 0. Seward, the veteran Minnesota journalist and editor of the 6tlllwater Messenger, was shot, probably with fatal results, by a young men named George Peters, an ex-reportei with whom he had trouble. Borden Story Is False, The Boston Globe says that on Investigation It la satisfied that the statement published concerning Miss Lizzie Borden’i physical condition is not true, and bases ltt belief upon the statement of Dr. and Mra An Aged Actor Dying. At.betroit. I* F. Band, who played Polohias to the elder Booth’s Hamlet, has been taken suddenly -111 at the Hotel Llederg, His death is only a question of a few hours.

SLAIN BY THOUSANDS. Rebels Defeated in Dahomey with Terrible Slaughter. It is reported that a decisive battle has been fought In Dahomey in which the rebellions natives were defeated and 2,000 of their warriors killed. The loss to the French troops Is given as eight killed and thlrty-stx wounded. It Is officially announced that the Dahomeyans left 200 dead, among them twenty amazons, close to the French line. The natives occupied a strong position and a desperate fight followed the attack by the French. A thick brushwood surrounded the Dahomeyans' position and this afforded some protection to the attacking forces. The battle lasted for an hour, at the end of which time the Dahomeyans fled in disorder apd were pursued by the French. The natives, however, were' thoroughly familiar with the country and found littlo difficulty In making their escape, but few of them falling captives to their pursuers. During the fight five Europeans and three Senegalese were killed and twenty-three Europeans and thirteen natives wounded. Two hundred repeating rifles were found on the field. This fact will add to hhe grievance France has against Germany, for the French claim that King Bebanzin, besides the 2,000 rifles allowed him by treaty, has an almost equal number of Winchesters and other repeating rifles that ’wave been furnished him by German traders. It is known that he has a large supply of ammunition and that it was landed in Dahomey from two German ships. As a result of this last battle Col. Dodds will be able to turn the Dahomeyans’ position and destroy Jheir lines of defensa

DEPARTMENT ESTIMATES. None Ready Except Secretary Rusk’s, Who Asks for About •3,000,000. The department estimates of expenditures of the Government for the next fiscal yea? ending June, 1894, under the law should have been in the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury, who is charged with their transmission to Congress, on the Ist lost, but they have not yet made their appearance. As a matter of fact they do not generally reach the Treasury much before the date of the meeting of Congress. Secretary Rusk, of the Department of Agriculture, has practically completed his estimates. He says they do not vary materially from the appropriations made by Congress for the current year, a total of about 83,000,000. “If Congress should do what ought to be done to advance and encourage the agricultural interests of the country,” said Secretary Rusk, “|50,000,000 would be appropriated. But, as it is, all that vast interest, the greatest in the land, has appropriated for It by the government Is $3,000,000 a year. Why, a single vessel for the navy costs more than that, and several of them are built every year.” As to the operations of the current year, ;which will Include nine months of the last year of > the present administration term, .Secretary Foster claims that the Treasury will show a balance of $10,000,000 on June 30, 1893, i , MRS.

Dun & Ca say in their weekly review of trade; The first week of October shows more activity, in spite of the near approach of the Presidential election. Business is distinctly better at the South, on account of the improvement In the price of cotton, more active at the West, with improved crop prospects, and only slightly retarded In the East. In general, speculation has disturbed legitimate lines of trade much less during the past quarter than is usual at this season, although the transactions in cotton have been exceedingly heavy.

WIPED OFF THE EARTH.

THE NOTORIOUS DALTON GANG EXTERMINATED. Four of Them Drop In Their Track*—Five ClUxene Kilted—Coffeyvllle, Kan., the Soene—A Most Daring Raid—The People Were Ready. Good Work at Great Cost. The Dalton gang has been exterminated, wiped off the face of the earth. Caught like rats in a trap, they were shot down, but not until four citizens of Coffsyvllle, Kan., yielded up their lives In the work of extermination. Six of the gang rode into the town Wednesday morning and robbed the two banks. Their raid had become known to the officers of the law, and when the bandits attempted to escape they were attacked by the Magdhpl’B posse. In the battle which four of the desperadoes were killed outright, and

THE DALTON BROTHERS.

one was so badly wounded that he has since died. The other escaped, but he Is being hotly pursued. Of the attacking party four were killed, one was fatally and two seriously wounded. The dead are: Boa Dalton, desperado, shot through the head. Gbant Dalton, desperado, shot through the heart. Emmbt Dalton, desperado, shot through the left side. Joseph Evans, desperado, shot through the head. John Moobb, alias “Texas Jack,” desperado, shot through the bead. • T. 0. Connellt, City Marshal, shot through the body. Is. JL Baldwin, bank clerk, shot through the head. G. W. Cubine, merchant, shot through'the head. 0. J. Bbown, shoemaker, shot through the body. Thomas G. Ayers, cashier of the First National Bank, was shot through the groin and cannot live. T. A. Rennolds of the attacking party has a wound in the right breast, but it is not considered necessarily dangerous. Lais Delz, another of the attacking party, wa3 shot in the right side. His wound is a serious one, but is not fatal. It was 9 o’clock when the gang rode Into town, in two squads of three each, passing through unfrequented streets and deserted alleys to the alley in the rear of the First National Bank. They quickly tied their horses, and without losing a moment’s time proceeded to the attack upon tho bank. Robert Dalton, the notorious leader of the gang, and Emmet, his brother went to the First National bank, the other four under the leadership of “ Texas Jack,” or John Moore, going to the private bank of C. M. Congdon <k Co. In the meantime the alarm had already been given. The Dalton boys were born and bred in the vicinity, and were well known to nearly every man, woman and child. Almost before the bandits had entered the bank Marshal Connelly was collecting a posse. He ran first to the livery stable of Jim Spears, a dead shot with a Winchester and a valuable man in any fight. Then he summoned George Cubine, a merchant; Charles Brown, a shoemaker; John Cox, express agent, and other citizens who could be conveniently reached, stationing them about the square, which loth of the banks faced. Robbers Go Through the Hanks. While the marshal was collecting his foroes the bandits, all ignorant of" the' trap that was being laid for them, were proceeding deliberately with their work of robbing the banks. “Texas Jack’s" band had entered Congdon’s bank, and with their Winchesters leveled at Cashier Ball and Teller Carpenter had ordered them to throw up their hands. Then “Texas Jack” searched them for weapons while tho other three desperadoes kept them covered with their rifles. Finding them to be unarmed Cashier Ball was ordered to open the safe. The cashier explained that the safe’s door was controlled by a time look and that it could not by any means short of dynamite be opened before its time was up, which would be 10 o’olook, or in about twenty minutes. “We’ll wait," said the leader, and he sat down at the cashier’s desk. Bob and Emmet Dalton in the meanwhile were having better luck at the First National bank. W’hen they entered the bank they found within Cashier Ayers, his son, Albert Ayers, and Teller W. H. Shepherd. None of them were armed, and with leveled revolvers the brother bandits easily intimidated them. Albert Ayers and Teller Shepherd were kept under the muzzles of Emmet Dalton’s xevolvers while Bob Dalton forced Cashier Ayers to strip the safe vault and cash drawers of all the money contained in them and place it in a sack which had been brought along for that purpose. Bob Dalton Dies In His Boots. Fearing to leave them behind, lest they should give the alarm before the bandits should be able to mount their horses and escape, the desperadoes marched the officers of the bank out of the door with the int ention of keeping them under guard while they made their escape. The party made its appearance at the door of the bank just as Liveryman Spears and his companions of the Marshal’s posse took their positions in the square. When the Dalton brothers saw the armed men in the square they appreciated their peril on the instant, and leaving the bank officers on the steps of the bank building, ran for their horses. As soon as they reached the sidewalk Spears’ rifle quickly came to position. An instant later it spoke and Bob Dalton, the notorious leader of the notorious gang, fell in his tracks, dead. There was not a quiver of a muscle after he fell. The bullet had struck him in the right temple and ploughed through his brain and passed out just above the left eye. Emmet Dalton had the start of his brother, and before Spears could draw a bead on him he had dodged behind the corner of the bank and was making time in the direction of the alley where the bandits had tied their horses.

The shot which dropped Bob Dalton aroused “Texas Jack” and his men in Congdon’s bank, where they were patiently waiting for the timelock of the safe to be sprung 1 with the hour of 10. Running to the windows of the bank they saw their leader prostrate on the ground. Raising their rifles to their shoulders they fired one Tolley out of the windows. Cashier Ayers fell on the steps of his bank, shot through the

groin, Shosmaker Brown of the attacking party In the square was shot through the body. He was quickly removed to his shop, but died Just as he was carried within. Speer*’ Rifle Afkln Speak*. The firing attracted the attention of Marshal Connelly, who, collecting more men >for his posse and with the few that he had already gathered, ran hurriedly to the scene of the conflict After firing their volley from the windows of the bank the bandits, appreciating that their only safety lay in flight attempted to escape. They ran from the door of the bank, firing as they fled. The Marshal’s po3ee in the square, without organization of any kind, fired at the fleeing bandits, each man for himself. Spears’ trusty Winchester spoke twice more in quick succession before the others of the posse could take aim, and Joseph Evans and “Texas Jack" fell dead, both shot through the head, making three dead bandits to his credit. In the general fusillade Grant E. Dalton, one of the two surviving members of “Texas Jack’s” squad, Marshal Connelly, D. M. Baldwin, and George Cubine were mortally wounded and died on the field. Allie Ogee, the only survivor of the band, succeeded in escaping to the alley, where the horses were tied, and mounting the swiftest horse of the lot fled south in the direction of Indian Territory. Emmet Dalton, who had escaped from the First National Bank, had already reached the alley in safety, but he had some trouble in getting mounted, and Allie Ogee had already made his escape before Emmet got fairly started. Several of the posse, anticipating that horses would be required, were already mounted, and quickly pursued the escaping bandits. Emmet Dalton’s horse was no match for the fresher animals of his pursuers. As the pursuers closed on him, he turned suddenly in his saddle, and fired upon his would-be captors. The latter answered with a volley and Emmet toppled from his horse hard hit. He was brought back to town, and died later. He made an ante-mortem statement, confessing to the various crimes committed by the gang of which he was a member. Allie Ogee had about ten minutes’ start of his pursuers, and was mounted on a swift horse. After the battle was over search was made for the money which the bandits had secured from the two banks. It was found in tho sacks where it had

THE LAY OF THE LAND.

been placed by the robbers. One sack was found under the body of Bob Dalton, who had fallen dead upon it while he was escaping from the First National Bank. The other was found tightly clinched in “Texas Jack’s” hand. The money was restored to Its rightful owners. .

LORD TENNYSON IS DEAD.

An Attack of Influenza Complicated with Gout Result* Fatally. Lord Alfred Tennyson, poet-laureate of Great Britain, died at his residence, Aldworth, Surrey, at an early hour Thursday morning. A slight cold taken a week before developed into influenza, which caused death. Alfred Tennyson was born at Somersby, Llnconshire, England, in 1809. His father, the Rev. George Clayton Tennyson, was the rector of Somersby and vicar of Bennington and Grimsby, while his mother was the daughter of the Rev. Stephen Fytche, vicar of Louth. He was the third of a family of twelve children. The talent which gained for him the title of Poet Laureate of England began to develop, itself in his early youth, for when 18 years old he, with his brother Charles, who afterward became vicar of Gras by and assumed the name of Turner, published a small volume entitled “Poems by Two Brothers. " The poems attracted some attention, those signed “A. T.” receiving the highest praise, Coleridge declaring that they alone of the selections in the volume gave hopeful promise of a coming poet. In 1850 there appeared anonymously what was probably the purest and truest Soem of that period, Tennyson’s “In lemoriam,” a series of 129 brief poems all wrought together in grand pathetio tribute to the memory of the poet’s college friend and companion, Arthur Hallam, who died in Vienna in 1833. For seventeen years Tennyson had borne the sacred grief of his friend’s death, during which time he composed the elegies contained in the volume “In Memoriam.” November 21, 1850, Tennyson was appointed to the honorary place of Poet Laureate of England, succeeding Wordswoith. Of the poems written in that capacity there have been few that have been considered by critics as works which are to take rank with others of his poems, notably the “Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington,” and the “Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava.” Both of these were included in his volume entitled “Maud and Other Poems,” published in 1855. The residence of Lord Tennyson has been on the Isle of Wight for several years, near Freshwater Gate. He owned there a commodious Btone house, with a pleasant library, where he spent the most of his hours of literary work, surrounded by his books.

GEORGIA STILL DEMOCRATIC.

.Leaders Claim to Have Carried the State by 40,000 to 80,000 Majority. Georgia has elected a Governor, State officers, and a full General Assembly. For Governor and State officers there there were two full tickets in the field,; one of which was the straight Democratic ticket and the other the People’s party ticket. The Republicans nominated no State ticket, contenting themselves with placing a national electoral ticket in the field. An Associated Press dispatch says that Gov. Northen and the whole Democratic tioket is elected by a majority of not less than 40,000, and the reports to come may even run it up to 80,000. In Fulton County, for instance, the precincts return such figures as 58 for Northen to 12 for Peek, 51 to 13, 55 to 5, and so on. Col. Peek’s own home gives a majority of 2 to 1 for Northen. Marion County, the home of the People’s party candidate for Secretary of State, gives 1,000 majority for the Democrats. In about sixty counties of the 135 to be heard from the Democratic majority is ever 60,000.

If John L. Sullivan manages him. self next year he will have his hands full. The man on horseback does not rule in Spain. The King rides a bicycle. Experienced people don’t tumble when they get in a hammock, because Ihey know the ropes. In Philadelphia a second-hand book-store advertises: “Webster’s Dictionary 4 cents per pound." Though the action is about the same, there’s a big difference between training for a rnn and running for a train: Prince Bismarck has an income of $250,000 a year. And he owns a brewery. Could earth afford him a happier lot? If Mr. Astor were to try to keep pace with his income by counting it in silver quarters, he’d be a gibbering idiot in a week’s time. Haying been an actor, and written a book, there seems to be no mors worlds for John L. Sullivan to conquer oinless he will tackle the pulpit. By the recent death of two of its members the College of Cardinals is now more nearly divided between Italians and foreigners than for a long time. The French Academy concludes a careful study of the problem of artificial rain with the observation that the solution of the problem has not yet been found.

It is doubtful if the astronomers have found out much about Mars. It might have been different if they had tried Venus. It’s said that a woman can’t keep secrets. Even the mo6t sanguine are now convinced that the Iron Hall is dead as a door nail. The only remaining hope of the stockholders Is to get what they can of the assets. About twenty missonaries and more than five million dollars' worth of liquors are sent to Africa every year. Successful evangelization will need a few more missioharies. Some of Whittier’s poems indicate that the good Quaker poet might have been a fighter had not the doctrine of non-resistance constrained him to the ways of peace.

There are 1,022 Americans jn. China, and 130,000 Chinamen in America. The Chinese send a million in hard coin home to China every year as a result of their interference with American labor. A man named Shirtoff h'as been arrested at Lawrenee, Kan., for stealing chickens.

It may be that the Courts will find something to say of the Homestead troubles, but it is doubtful. It would be far better for the disputants to get together and settle their differences. Litigation will not help them. The girl who has a new engagement ring and a new pair of gloves which are a perfect match for her new gown at the same time is put in a state of undecided uncertainty that is simply impossible to adequately describe.

A French duelist, on trial for the killing of his opponent, took advantage of the occasion to deliver a long speech about his business ventures. There is no necessity so widely recognized in this world nowadays as that of advertising. Even the “field of honor” is made a medium.

A London paper is .discussing the question whether a man ought to lift his hat to his female servant if he meets her on the street. In this country that question might hold concerning one’s wife or sister, but the average man here would not dare to think even of flaunting a baseless superiority in the face of the arbiter of his domestic destinies. In the mild and lovely parish of Frome, England, the Tories pulled up all the red flowers on the graves in the churchyard, because red is the Liberal color, and smashed two illuminated windows in the parish church because the vicar was a Liberal. This teaches us what a Briton means when he tells us “We do things better in England, doncher know?”

Electricity.

One of Nature’s mysterious laws causes soft iron to become magnetic when surrounded by a current of electricity. In the ordinary dynamo this law is of the greatest utility. As the electrical current is being collected by the revolving armature it is led around the magnet, and thus the magnetic germ is quickly changed into a mighty force, again filling the armature, which trans-' forms it /from magnetic to electrical force.
