AN INFAMOUS DEED. A Monon Train Thrown from the Track by ■Wreckers and the Cars Burned, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Gkeknoastle, Ind., Oci 18. —The Louisville express going south, on the Monon route, was thrown from the track this morning, about half past 2 o’clock, the train rolling down a sevenfoot embankment, the engine and all the cars but the rear trucks of the sleeper leaving the track. The baggage ear turned over once, and two coaches were thrown on their sides. The baggage car took fire at once, and in half an hour the entire train, including the engine, was burned. The loss is $35,000. The express messenger, Charles N. Cutler, saved most all 'the money and valuable packages, hut lost all Way bills. Had it not been for Cutler—although his right arm is badly burned —it is probable the baggageman would have been burned to death, Cutler rescuing him from under a pile of trunks. Nearly all the bedding and cushions belonging to the eoaches and the sleeper were saved. Engineer James Church has three ribs broken; the baggage master is badly bruised: conductor Frazer and the brakeman are injured. There were one hundred passengers on hoard, many of whom were badly bruised and scratched, but none seriously injured. The passengers were brought here at 7 o’clock this morning. The wreck was cleared about noon, f- The accident was caused by a bolt being taken from a switch target by some miscreant for the purpose of wrecking the train. The bolt was found alongside the track with the nut screwed bk upon it, showing that it had been taken out intentionally.

The Wreck on the Boston & Albany. Springfield, Mass., Oct. 18.—Particulars of the accident on the Boston & Albany railway, near Kinderhook, last night, show that it was cause*! by train-wreckers, who placed a pile of rails and sleepers on the track, carefully wedged in position. The locomotive turned completely over, the express car jumped over it, and the baggage and smoking cars were piled on top. y The sleeper remained on the track. Engineer Davie was fourd under the wreck, terribly scalded, and died at 3a. m. Fireman Stickney’s recovery is doubtful. Conductor C. H. Gould bad a leg injured, and baggage-master George Fairbanks was scalded. A w recking tram from Albany cleared the track. The Boston & Albaay officials have offered SI,OOO reward for the liscovery of the miscreants who wrecked the train. _ A Bad Wreck on the Mobile & Ohio.

THE COMING OF ME. BLAINE. Forty Thousand People Welcome Him on His Arrival on Indiana Soil. A Magnificent Reception by the Republicans of South Bend—Mr. Blaine on the Responsibilities of loung Men. MR. BLAKE IN INDIANA. A Tremendous Demonstration by the Republicans of Northern Indiana* Special to the Indianapolis Journal, South Bend, Oct 18.—It the popularity of Mr. Blaine is to he judged by the crowds that assemble at the railway stations to greet him, and the enthusiasm they display, certainly no other man has a firmer hold on the public affection than he has. His trip from Detroit to this city, to-day, has been a continuous series of ovations. At every town where the train stopped, thousands of people had assembled, many of whom had come in vehicles and on horseback for miles. Mr. Blaine made ten speeches during the day, and on each occasion he said something new and original, and he said it in such a manner as to create the greatest enthusiasm. Between stations he was engaged in receiving and talking to the various committees that came aboard, ana with the gentlemen who accompanied him. He made an anxious inquiry about the country through which he passed, and about the people and their political sentiments. To everybody he was courteous and entertaining, and talked freely on all subjects. Apparently without the least preparation and without any thought as to what he was going to say, he would go out on the platform and address the crowd for ten minutes or more in a graceful and exceedingly forcible manner, and to all to whom he was introduced he had anew word of welcome and a pleasant inquiry concerning something in which they were interested. If there is any limit to his originality, his versatility and oratorical powers, it was not apparent to day. The party that left Detroit with him consisted of his son Walter, an affable young gentleman; Mr. Mauley, one of his Maine lieutenants; Senators Conger and Palmer, of Michigan; General E. A, Alger, Ecpublican candidate for Governor, his three daughters and a committee of prominent men of the State — twenty in number. Early this morning the committee appointed to escort Mr. Blaine into Indiana, consisting of General Geo. B.Williams, of Lafayette; Clem Studebaker and Joseph D. Oliver, of South Bond, arrived in Detroit and joined the party. Mr. Blaine arrived here at 3p. M. Five thousand people were at the depot to receive him, including a mounted escort and a number of uniformed companies. Mr. Blaine and his party were put into a carriage, and a parade of the town made. The line of march was probably five miles long, and in the central portion of the city the crowd was so great that carriages got along with difficulty. Windows, doors, and sidewalks were filled with people who shouted and gave cheers until compelled to desist from sheer exhaustion. It was estimated thatfully 40,000 people were in town to join in the demonstration. To the credit of the citizens it can be said that every house, without exception, along the line of march was decorated with flags and other patriotic emblems, many of them profusely and beautifully. The large grounds of Messrs. Oliver and Studebaker were entirely inclosed with festoons of Chinese lanterns. As the procession went through the town, with cannons firing, flags waving, bands playing, and amid the cheers of the crowds, it made a scene of enthusiasm rarely equaled. Meu and women ran for squares beside Mr. Blaine’s carriage, trying to shake hands with him, and on ail sides he was continually bowing and exchanging pleasant greeting. The procession, at G o’clock, brought up at an out door stand in the western part of the city, around which 15,000 people had gathered. General Williams first introduced Senator Conger, of Michigan, who said he was glad to see such a crowd to welcome America’s greatest statesman and ablest defender of her industries. In the last three days, in his own State, over a half million people, with glistening eyes and glad hearts, had listened to the wise utterances of him who was to lead the Republican forces on to victory in November. Senator Palmer then followed in a few fitting words. He said that he was glad to be again in the State of Indiana—the State of the great Morton, whose spirit, he felt, was with him today; that famous war Governor had fought for the same thing that the Republican party was still fighting for—the protection of the American home and American industry. The speaker exhorted the people of South Bend to receive the Plumed Knight kindly, treat him handsomely, and in November vote for him. He wanted every man to take off his coat, and go valiantly to work against the great enemy of American progress, the Democratic party.

Marvin Campbell then formally presented Mr. Blaine to the crowd as a man who, for twentyfive years, had impressed his originality and statesmanship upon the history of his country—a man who had been an able defender of the great wall of protection, tho bulwark of American industries; a distinguished American, who loved the whole world and tho people therein, but legislated for America and the people herein. Mr. Blaine spoke for about fifteen minutes, standing with uncovered head in the chilly evening air, and using his silk hat to emphasize his gesticulations. While he spoke, everybody listened and did not stop to applaud until he had finished, so eager were they to hear all he said. At the conclusion, hundreds came upon the platform to shake him by the haud. Notable among these were many old men, who had been identified with the Republican party since its birth. The crowd cheered and cheered until the carriage containing the distinguished visitor drove away. He went directly to the residence of Mr. Clem Studcbaker, whose guest he is, where, with a number of leading citizens, he took supper. The procession to night was overwhelmingly large. It took nearly an hour to pass a given point, and included companies from all the towns within a radius of fifty miles, an<l seventeen brass bands. Along the line of march colored lights were kept constantly burning. On the court-house square a high stand, covered with gas jets, had been erected, and from this Mr. Blaine viewed the parade, standing under a large canopy of cut flowers made in patriotic designs. WMle awaiting tho arrival of the ad-

vance guard, in response to continued cheering, he made a few remarks, returning his thanks for the flattering demonstration. Brief addresses were also made by Hon. H. G. Thayer, candidate for Congress in this district; Jasper Packard, of Chicago; General Thomas, of Illinois, aud Dr. P. H. Cronin. A feature of the parade was one hundred young ladies mounted on elaborately caparisoned horses and bearing a banner inscribed, ‘‘The Ladies Are for Blaine,” which seemed to amuse that distinguished gentleman very much. During the parade he was kept constantly lifting his hat and bowing in response to the cheers, and at. the conclusion he retired to his room at Mr. Studebaker’s, not receiving any callers. Preparatory to the reception and demonstration to-night there was a grand industrial parade this morning, five miles in length, and containing hundreds of vehicles bearing the insignia of industry. The displays maae by the Studebakers and Olivers were particularly elaborate and appropriate. When the special train bearing Mr. Blaine and his party passed Notre Dame, this afternoon, a stop was made, and a little boy and girl, pupils of the institution, and related to Mr. Blaine, were taken on board and brought to the city. To-morrow he will spend most of the day at Notre Dame, visiting an aunt, who is mother superior there. THE DAY IN DETAIL. Detroit to South Betid—A Speech on tlic Responsibilities of Young Men. To tho Western Apsoriated Tress. South Bend, Oct. 18. —A delegation from Indiana, consisting of Gen. George B. Williams, representing the Republican State committee, of which he is a member: Hon. Clem Studebaker, and Mr. Joseph D. Oliver, of South Bend, went to Detroit to meet Mr. Blaine, and returned with him. John C. New, the chairman of the Republican committee, was unable to go to Detroit, but will join the party at South Bend Sunday. General Fremont left the party at Detroit. Mr. Blaine left Detroit at 8:30 this morning by special train on the Michigan Central railway. This is the last day of his tour in Michigan, and he will spend Sunday here. The first stop this morning was at Ann Arbor, where the most remarkable scene of the trip occurred. There was a very large crowd around the depot, hut the students of the University of Michigan seemed to have taken possession of the place, and, when Mr. Blaine appeared, their cheering and yelling were so hearty, and so loud, and so long continued, that they seemed likely to occupy the whole time that the train could remain at Ann Arbor. All attempts of local committeemen to get a hearing were utter failures, but when Mr. Blaine stretched out his hand, indicating thfit he was about to speak, the noise immediately subsided. When quiet was restored, Mr. Blaine said:

“During tho war we used to hear much about the rebel yell. [Laughter.] It was said to inspire great vigor and determination, but it seems to me that the young men who have done mo the honor to appear here to day could have terrified the whole army of Lee. [Laughter and cheers.] But I am glad to witness it and to hear it, for it implies the enthusiasm and the strength of youth, and from the youth of the country the Republican party is constantly recruited. |Wild cheering. ] What we lose from desertion, and disappointment, and dissatisfaction on the part of the elders is far more than made up, yea, tenfold over, by the young men of the country, who are just coming into action. [Great cheer ing. ] Not only is that a proposition which holds good for young men of all classes, but we have a very remarkable proportion of the educated young men of the country. I wish to leave with these young collegians a problem in relation to one of the great industrial issues of the time —a problem which will confront them in their future career—end that is, to find out why so many college youths who are free-traders at twenty become protectionists at forty. [Laughter and cheers. ] I think the answer will be found in the fact that at forty they have taken their degrees in the university of experience, which, after all, is much wider and much more valuable thau the university ot theory. [Cheers. ] Our college boys are taught, I was myself taught when I was a college boy, the doctrine of free trade, but the United States stands as a perpetual and irrefutable argument and example of the value, in anew country, of the doctrine of protection. [Enthusiastic and prolonged '•hcoring.] lam glad to meet you, r.ot merely as those who are interested in a political campaign, but as young men who are the pride and hope of the country.- In dealing with the groat problems of the future in this marvelous experiment of a people governing themselves by a freo and universal suffrage, nothing can avail except our educated and constantly corrected public opinion. [Cheers.] I wish to impress upon every man who has the advantage of a university education, that he is day more and more placed in debt to his country, and that just in proportion as he progresses in knowledge and wisdom, just in that proportion will he be expected to pay back, in patriotic labor, the country which has matured him. [Cries of ‘Good,’ ‘Good,’ and cheers.] I congratulate you on being boru to such great opportunities, to a harvest that is ripe for the reaper, into a field that is continually expanding. By the time you have your degrees, you will go forth to the battle of life in a great Nation of sixty millions of freemen. You will go forth, each of you, with just as good a chance in life as any other man has, and you go with the added opportunities which education gives. I commend to you your responsibilities, for the responsibilities of an educated American are higher, and deeper, and broader, and greater than those of an educated man in any other land, and just ir. proportion as your opportunities are greater will you he held to account in this life and in the life which is to come.” [Great and prolonged cheering.] There was an immense gathering at Jackson. When Mr. Blaine stepped out on the flat-car which served as a speaker’s stand, lie stepped into the presence of more than 20.000 people. He was received with the usual enthusiastic demonstrations. In responding, he called attention to the importance of the tariff as the leading issue in the campaign. At Marshall there was a smaller but equally enthusiastic crowd. At each place, after Mr. Blaine had spoken, he introducedJGeneral Alger, the Republican candidate for Governor, who was warmly received and made a few remarks. Kalamazoo was reached at a little before 1 o’clock. Mr. Blaine and Mr. Alger left the train and went up to the park, where they spoke very briefly to a large audience. At a little past 3 o’clock the train arrived at South Bend. The city was thronged, the workshops and many of the business houses were closed, and the day was devoted to politics. In the forenoon there had been a great trades’ procession. and the afternoon was to be devoted to the Blaine roccption, and the evening to a torchlight procession. Mr. Blaine was escorted through all tho principal streets by a large body of Plumed Knights, and there was a continuous line of decorated houses and a continuous crowd along the whole route. It was about 5:30 when the procession readied the stand erected near the court-house. The two Michigan senators, Messrs. Conger and Palmer, wore first introduced. After they had given some account of tho tour through Michigan, Hon. Marvin Campbell, the president of the day, introduced Mr. Blaine, who was enthusiastically cheered. When order was restored, he spoke at some length on the tariff as the great issue in the campaign, arguing that the maintenance of the protective policy was of far greater importance to the workmen than to any other class in the coinmunit}’. In the same connection he warned the workingmen that the labor unions would be powerful to protect them against the competition of tho cheap labor of the world if the protective tariff were abolished.

EVENTS IN TIIE OLD WORLD. The Question of Protection Becoming a Great Political Issue in France. Rumor that the French Forces in Tcnquin ILm Gained Another Victory—Criticism on the Recent Slaughter. PROTECTION IN FRANCE. A Call for an Increase of Duties—Tone of the Paris Newspapers. Paris, Oct. 18. —In the Chamber of Deputies, to-day. Marquis Deßoys interpellated the government regarding the economic crisis. He demanded the same protection for agriculture as for manufacturing interests. Minister Ferry replied that the government was equally solicitous as to both industries. The truth of this position, he declared, was shown by the proposed increase of tariff on cereals. He thought the time, however, inopportune for the discussion of this subject, and, therefore, called for the order of business for the day, pure and simple. Meline, Minister of Agriculture, will amend the bill increasing the duties on foreign live stock so as to make the duty on oxen fifty francs per head, on sheep five francs, on swine ten francs. He will also support the demand of the Council-general of Aisne that the government shall levy a duty of two francs per hundred weight on wheat, and four francs per hundred weight on flour. The French press is absorbed in a discussion of protective duties. The Republiquo Franchise says the economic crisis through which France is now passing can only be cured by the sovereign remedy of an increase in customs duties. Such an increase, it contends, will ameliorate the distress of the agricultural industry, will lower the price of transportation, and make more abundant tho circulation of money throughout the interior of the country. The Rappel declares the Meline project will find a lessening support. When it is seen it will increase the price of bread and meat, the deputies will think twice before approving it. The Radical says the great majority of the commission on protective duties is favorable to Moline’s proposals. The proposals of the Minister of Agriculture to increase the duties are opposed bv Rouvier, the new' Minister of Commerce, but are approved by Tirard, Minister of Finance. It is reported the resignations of Nicklin and Tirard are imminent. THE FIGHTING IN TONQUIN. Rumor that tlie French Forces Have Achieved Another Victory, London. Ocfc. 18. —Rumors are current at Paris to the effect that the French have gained another victory in Tonquin, and that 450 Chinese fell in the engagement. A Paris dispatch says the anti-ministerial papers denouuce the practice of the French troops in Tonquin of taking no prisoners and killing the wounded. The Gaulois says the official defense, that the Chinese refuse quarter, can not justify the soldiers of a country pretending to be the advance guard of civilization in making war like savages.

CARLYLE’S BIOGRAPHY. Froude’s Third and Last Volume—Stinging Criticism of Gladstone. London. Get. 18.—The third and concluding volume oi Mr. James A. Froude’s “Biography of Thomas Carlyle” has just been published, and is likely to prove the literary sensation of the present season. It embraces the period from 1834 to the death of Carlyle in February, 1881, and is accompanied by a preface, in which Mr. Fronde elaborately vindicates his conduct as Carlyle’s literary executor. The volume is crammed with hitherto unpublished criticisms of public men, many of whom are still living. The Tories are gloating over Carlyle’s description of Gladstone as “one of the contemptiblest men” he ever saw. “He is,” said Carlyle, “but a poor ritualist. He is almost spectral—a kind of phantasm of a man. There is nothing in him but forms and ceremonies and outside wrappings.” On the other hand, the Liberals say that Mr. Froude’s work presents the character of ids revered master in an even less enviable light than before, and that Mr. Froude should "be called hereafter not Mr. Carlyle’s literary executor. but his literary executioner. In the preface of this volume Froude defends the revelations of the inner life of Carlyle contained therein, and says that reticence upon that subject would have implied that there was something to hide from tho public. Mr. Froude says: “Taking Carlyle altogether, there never was a man whose conduct throughout his life could better bear the fiercest light. He had no sins of youth to apologize for, and in the grave matters pertaining to the law he walked for eighty-live years unblemished by a single spot, never deviating from the strictest line of integrity. Although more than once he was within sight of starvation, he never did less than the best. He never wrote an idle word, nor a sentence that he did not believe was true. He had frailities and impatiences, but he had no dishonest or impure thoughts. He lived a life of single-minded effort to do right.” The diary of Carlyle, which is printed with this volume, narrates an interview he had with Queen Victoria, saying that the Queen was very gracious, pretty in her demeanor throughout, rose greatly in his esteem, and she did not fail in any point At tho end of his memoirs there is a letter from Disraeli, in which the latter offers to Carlyle a baronetcy and the Grand Cross of Bath, and mentions that Tennyson had been offered a baronetcy. Carlyle refused both of tho honors in a courteous reply. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Russian Army Officers Put to Death for Political Offenses. St. Petersburg, Oct. 18.—The six officers of the army who were sentenced to death, early in the week, for political offenses, were executed to-day at the St. Petersburg citadel. Besides these there were two women who paid the death penalty—ono. Madame Wolkonstein. ;the other, Mary Fiquer, the daughter of a priest. The only persous who witnessed the execution wore the Minister of Justice and the Interior and the prison officials. A Noble Lord’s Assault oil an Editor. London, Oct. 18. —The assault made by Lord Marcus Beresford on Thomas Gibson Bowles, of Vanity Fair, arose from an article in that paper attacking Lord Beresford’s trusteeship of the property of a Miss Trevelyan, who was Recently sent to prison for theft. Lord Marcus Beresford waited hear the door of the office of the paper, and when Bowies appeared attacked him. striking him on the nose and eyes with his fist. Mr. Bowles made no defense, and was knocked down. Members of the staff of the paper rushed to the editor's assistance, and Beresford made, off. Defection Among the Mahdi’s Allies. London, Oct. 18.—An Arab from tho Mahdi’s camp has arrived at Pongola. He reports much sickness among the Mahdi’s forces, and that defection among the tribes at the Mahdi's rear still continues.

General of the Christian Brothers. Paris, Oct. 18. —The Christian Brothers have selected Brother Joseph as general. He was for many years a member of the superior council of education. Cable Notes. Wilhelm I, Duke of Brunswick, died yester day. A melancholy incident is connected with the outbreak of fire on board tho steamship IJevada. One steerage passenger, an Irish woman, was thoroughly panic stricken and died of fright. The Russian government has decided to fortify Vladivostock, and construct harbors and docks in the bay at Okhotsk. It has decided, also, to strengthen the Russian fleet in the Pacific. A dispatch from Teheran, Persia, announces the arrival there of the new German minister. Great preparations wero made for his reception. The Shah has assigned a royal palace for his residence. The Russian government has projected an experiment to ascertain whether naphtha residuum can be advantageously used as fuel for steam engines. If the experiment is successful, the adoption of this substance as fuel for the Russian fleet, instead of coal, is contemplated. THE CLAWSON TRIAL. Prominent Mormons Swear They Know Nothing Concerning the Endowment House. ►Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 18.—The Clawson polygamy trial was finished to-day, but a verdict lias not been rendered yet, The mother of the alleged second wife swore that though she visited her daughter living with Clawson, she never inquired whether she had married him or not. Tho father of tho accused testified that he never talked with his son about the matter till after the indictment was made. Other relatives swore similarly. President Taylor said there could be no marriages in the Endowment House unless they were authorized; probably a hundred marriages had taken place in the house, but he could not recollect the names of the parties. George Q. Cannon swore that he didn’t know about the records of the Endowment House, and wanted to remain ignorant; he could not give the name of any one who officiated in the Endowment House. James E. Caine, son of delegate Caine, was again on the stand to-day, and reaffirmed the former testimony and admissions of the accused, lie said Clawson talked to him about his evidence, and expressed doubt as to the accuracy of the language; Caine said he had do doubt, and told Clawson lie didn’t give a— —, he would tell the truth. The testimony of tho defense consisted mainly of attempts at impeaching the witnesses of the prosecution. After they were through, the lawyers said the case was far stronger than before the detense offered any testimony. Organization of Manufacturing Jewelers. Providence. R. 1., Oct. 18.—A meeting of manufactuiing jewelers, of this city and Attleboro, for the purpose of considering the recent failures in the trade and protecting manufacturers and jobbers, and taking steps toward the formation of the New England Board of Trade, was held to day.

It is composed of determined men, who are resolved that no intimidation or violence shall rule at the Chicago polls; at least, that there shall be none done by Republicans, and their orders are to provoke no light themselves, nor to indulge in any a3 long as tho contest is merely wordy, but if any bulldozing is attempted by negro or other deputy marshals, to resist it, and if any Democrat is shot, to see to it that the shooter at once suffers the same fate. So tho matter stands, and if feeling keep* growing in intensity, there will be serious trouble in Chicago on election day.” VOTING AND PRAYING. How Ministers Will Cast Their Votes in the Comiug Election. Rev. John Alabaster, D. D., pastor of the Me-ridian-street M. E. Church, of this city, has written the following letter for publication: During the past few weeks I have been the recipient of numerous communications in writing and otherwise, evincing goat interest in the success of the Prohibition party at the coming presidential election. These communications are chiefly from nonRepublican sources. They urge that temperance people, and especially ministers, shall “vote as t hey pray—for prohibition.” As it is not practicable to reply to all of these persons, and especially since some are anonymous, I answer thus, publicly: Yes, we intend to vote as we pray. That is settled. “Will we vote for prohibition” on the presidential ticket? No. That is settled. “Why?” Because there are other things we pray for besides prohibition: and these things we deem very important just now. During the years of the rebellion we prayed for the Union. We have done it ever since. We will vote as we pray. We will not throw away our vote on prohibition, and help give the Union into the hands of its enemies. We prayed for the liberation of the slave. God heard our prayers. We will vote as we pray. We will help that party through which the slave gained his freedom, and through which his rights as a freeman are now secured. We have prayed for the death of the rum power. We will vote as we pray. We will help keep out of power the party whose traditions are most allied with the whisky influence. We would like prohibition. We see no good prospect f securing it except outside of party politics. But we will not foolishly throw away wliat friends we have and fall squarely into the hands of our enemies. We remember the story of the lad who thrust his hand into the jar of Albeits and filled it so full that he could not get it out. No, we will take,a few this time, and watch for a safer method bV which to got the handful. We have been praying, “Thy kingdom come.” That kingdom is not prohioilion alone. It is the purity of morals, tho sal.city of home, the promotion of Christianity. We will vote as we pray. And since so many things that we pray for are represented by one of the great political parties, and so few by the other, and since to cast a vote for prohibition would in effect be to defeat the former and aid the latter, we mhst vote as we pray. We will cast our ballot for tho Republican presidential candidate. John Alabaster, Minister and Citizen.

A FORGED DEMOCRATIC DOCUMENT, West Virginia I.earns that There Was No Contract to Import Negro Voters. Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 18.—A characteristic trick of the Democrats employed in tho eastern counties of this State has come to light. On Monday last the Baltimore Day published a statement that James D. Butt, of Harper’s Ferry, had contracted with Williams, a politician of Baltimore, to pay him $2 per head for negro voters imported into this State, and that Butt? had signed a memorandum to this effect, a copy of which was purported to be given, together with a copy of a draft on W J. Cowden. for SSO, in Williams’s favor, which was marked “excepted” across the face and signed. “W J. C.” This forgery was a very bungling one. Cowden is chairman of the Republican State committee, but his initials are W J. W.. and he would never misspell “accepted.” But the forgery served a purpose. and the Day’s article was reprinted on hand bills, and thousands of them were circulated in the border counties. At Harper’s Ferry it nearly made a riot. Yesterday Butt went to Baltimore and visited the editor of the Day, who, when he saw Butts’s and Cowdenis signatures, at once pronounced the others forgeries and promised to make amends for the wrong he had unwittingly done. A special from Harper’s Ferry, this evening, says Williams is in jail there, and that the Maryland State committee is helping Butt to push the case against him. A special from Harper’s Ferry to tho Intelligencer says: “Every day brings out new facts, showing that Williams is backc i by the Maryland Democratic politicians, working under the auspices of the national committee. If his case reaches a hearing, facts more damning than the Morey letter forgery will be brought out. ” THE RESULT IN OHIO. Robinson Runs About 6,000 Votes Behind His Ticket.
