It Considers a Harder Case Under Compulsion and Accompanies Its Verdict with a Protest. ' PriLADELPiiiA, Oct 1. The singular spectacle of a coroner's jnry defying the coroner was "witnessed this morning at the resumption of the inquest in the LeConey murder case in Camden. The authorities at the two former sessions of tho inquest had submitted evidence which they deemed sufficient for the askingof a verdict to-day. It appears, however, that a few of the jurors had determined among themselves to compel the prosecution to show its hand and place upon the stand - its two star witnesses, Murray, the hired, man of farmer ILeConey, and Smith, his neighbor. Edward lIurrongh3, foreman of the jury, is a life-long friend of Chalkley LeConey, the uncle ot tho girl, who is accused of complicity in her murder, and has taken no pains to conceal his interest in the suspected farmer's welfare. When Coroner Stanton informed the jury this morning that there wou Id be no further ovidence subruitted. and directed the jurors to retire nnd deliberate upon a verdict. Burroughs declared that theiury had not heard sutlicient evidence to ctecido. Two other jurors also objected to retiring without having additional evidence placed before them, and Coroner Stanton, after expostulating with them for a while, iinally called upon the constable to "do his duty." After some lurther parleying, the jury sullenly retired, and at 4 o'clock, after an absence of about four hours, retnrned with a verdict and a protest. Tho verdict, signed by the twelve jurymen, was to the effect that Annie LeConey came to her death at the hands of parties unknown to them. The protest, eigned by eight of the jurors, was that certain evidence had been withheld from the jtrYy by tho coroner, and to this the jury objected, regarding it as an illegal action and one which interfered with tho discharge of their duty. Woultl-lle Blgaxulst Cowbldcd. St. Loins. Mo.. Oct. 1. A sensational horse-whipping occurred yesterday in one of the most fashionable dry goods bazars in the city. Tho parties interested were "William C. Young, buj-er for the Fenny &. Gentle Dry Goods Company, and Mrs. A. Baron, wife of the telegraph editor of the Westhch Tost, the leading German newspaper of the city. The lady used a threepronged leather whip attached to a short wooden handle, and she applied the weapon tintil she brought the blood. Young seized his hat, and ran from the whip of the excited woman. Young came to St. Louis in 1S&, and, representing himself as a single man, became engaged to a pretty sixteen-year-old girl. Miss Bruce. Kumor stated that he was already married, rind the engagement was broken off. lie then went to Denver, but returned in 1SS7; made love to Mrs. Baron's daughter, and was about to marry tho girl when her parents ascertained, 60 tho story goes, that he had a wife and family in Scotland, and that they were on their way to St. Louis. In order to testify to their opinion of such conduct the girl's mother administered the flogging in the xresence of all of Young's associates. Split in the Ranks of Socialists. Chicago, Oct. 1. Tho Socialist labor convention to-day decided to make Chicago tho "seat' for the executive, and as a result of this action fhe German and American section in this city will select a new executive board for the party at large. The committee on platform reported, but the convention adjourned without acting upon the report. In the evening a mass-meeting was held in Mueller's Hall. Speeches were made by James Willig, editor of the Cincinnati Zeituntr. G. A. llcehn and others. They confined their remarks to the outlining of Socialistic principles. Hope to Secure a Jury This Week. Chicago, Oct l.-Un to the recess toxghU7 jurors had been excused in the Cronin case, four accepted and sworn in, and four aro temporarily passed until tomorrow. The defense was rather lavish in the use of p.-remptory challenges to-day. and has only seventeen left, eighty-threo having been disposed of bv them, to fiftyseven on behalf of the State. Counsel express the hopi that a jury will bo impaneled this week.

LOUISIANA BOND FRAUDS. Eelief that the New Orleans Grand Jnry Has Indicted Ex-Treasurer Burke. . New Orleans, La.. Oct. 1. Tho grand jury of the parish of Orleans met to-day. It had been rumored that thoy would investi gate the State bond raud, and tho court room was filled with business men and lawyers, the former of whom had been sum moned as witnesses in the bond case. At torney-general Kogers and District Attor ney Lnzcnberg were closeted together in the latter s private office during the fore noon, and came into court a few moments before Judge Marr delivered his charge to the grand jury. Among other things Judge "Marr said: "Sinco your last adjournment. gentlemen, the columns of the daily press have teemed with tho e Largo that certain bonds, pecuniary obligations of the State of Louisiana, which were declared by the constitution of 1S79 to be null and void after Jan. 1, 1880, and which were required to be destroyed, have gotten upon the mar ket, unlawfully and fraudulently, and are now outstanding in the hands of divers persons, holding and claiming them as valid legal obligations of the State, and in terest coupons detatched from 6uch bends have been collected and paid out of money .belonging to the State. This startling an nouncement has become a matter of public noteriety not only in the city and State. but also at all the great commercial centers of the civilized world. gTeatly to the injury of the credit of the State and the market value of its securities and to the pre judice of the good name of the State. Matters of so grave a character cannot be ignored by judges nor by grand juries, and I charge you, gentlemen grand jurors, that it is your solemn and sworn duty diligently to inquire and true presentment make touching the alleged illegal and fraudulent dealing with money and the obligations -of tho State. You are to enter upon this inquiry without allowing your minus to De preoccupied by publications or newspaper comments, or the talk or rumor., ion are officially to know nothing beyond which you shall learn from the lips oi tne sworn witnesses and such competent testimony as may be adduced in vour pres ence and hearing. If the proof adduced - A f 1 A A.

The session of tno grand jury lasted four hours and four witnesses are known to have been examined. Nine indictments were Tound against some person or persons. charged with fraud and embezzlement. No names are given, but it seems to be well understood that ex-Treasurer E. A. Burke is the party in each case. The grand jury will be in session next Friday, and will examine other witnesses on the same subject. The impression seems to prevail that some fifteen indictments will be found aeaiust the ex-Treasurer in regard to the ngricultura i aim mecnanicai college bonus, ana that the other charges will be taken up at leisure. WHO ASSAULTED THE NUN? John Marry Proves an Alibi at Terre Haute A Very Mysterious Case. Special to tho InfllanmyoUs .Journal. Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. L The mystery about the attempt to kill Sister Camille in tho school-room of the Sacred Heart Con vent, at Emporia, Kan., was deepened to day when tho chief of polico of that city satisfied himself that John Murry, the Yandalia railroad switchman, accused by Sister Camillo, was not in Emporia at the time. Sister Camille was at St. Anthony's Hospital here last fall, when Murry was a patient, his hand having been crushed while coupling cars. Since tho attack in Emporia, which nearly resulted fatally. she has said that she was compelled to ask to be relieved here, because of Mnrrv's un'welcome attentions; also, that on the 11th that she recognized him plainly, as she did last v ednesday. On this last occasion she was badly bruised, and unconscious a half day. Chief Wilhite s.iid, after seeing Murry to-day. that her description, even to the crippled hand, was perfect, and he has no doubt she meant Murry. Murry, from the beginning, has denied all. He even says that ho left the hospital here before &ister camille went away. Tho sisters here say that they never heard of any com plaints from her. and that, in fact, she did not nurse Murry, which Mnrry corroborates. When Chief Wilhite, with his requisition, appeared here to-day Murry willingly went to court. Kailroad otlicials railroad time-books and an abundance of testimony was furnished to prove an alibi for Murry, and he was discharged. Chief Wilhito left for home this afternoon, eatiaiicd uiav oisicr ammo is mista&en.

An American Captain Gets Into Trouble by Defending His Yacht with a Pistol. Another Rail way Accident in Which Many Peo ple Were Killed and Injured Mr. Timothy Ilealy Denounced by Canon Griffin. THE NAVASSA ISLAND MOT. Details of the Itecent Battle with the Blacks, in Which Several Americana Were Killed. Baltimore, Oct. 1. The first authentic information about the recent riots on Navassa island was received last night in a letter from Dr. C. D. Smith, the acting superintendent of the Navassa Phosphate Company, who, with C. W. tfoby, the mino "boss, and one other official, tho only sur viving officers of the bloody affray, have taken refuge on the British man-of-war Forward, which came to their assistance. Dr. Smith writes that on the morning of tho 14th inst. the negroes arose in insurrection and killed four officers, Thomas N. Foster, Joseph Fales, James Mahon and WTm. T. Shea. Roby was first assaulted in tho dicxincs and hit on the head with clubs until left for dead. lie was found in a rock hole under a lot of wheeling boards. lie was removed to the house, and took part in the battle with tho black fiends, after having thirty stitches taken in his scalp. He is at present doing well. All the men congre gated in front of the superintendent's of fice and refused to work. When Mr. Jones attempted to arrest one of the ring-leaders ho was knocked down, and in a few seconds a howling mob surrounded him. He managed to got to the house, where the officers had sought shelter, through volleys of rocks and other missiles hurled at him. He took ref ftgo in the upper story of the superintendent s house, and opened fire on the mob. The letter continues: "That battle lasted three hours, with an occasional negro wounded, when wo were startled by the explosion of a -dynamite bomb, which they had thrown on tno lower porch, l his was soon followed by another, until there was a continual roar of dynamite. These bombs were exolodinz around and through the house, on tho porches and in the rooms ad joining tne one in which we had sought shelter, when -we attempted to eeefc an other shelter Foster was butchered with knives, and Joseph Fales was chopped to pieces with axes. William Scott and James Mahono were also murdered. All tho murdered men are Baltimoreans. The negroes still have possession of the island. ROW ABOUT. A BOAT. A n A m Avtian rnnfnln Tfn I i Til a TMrvTifa awa-a tu.ssv(su vitibbusts u- e . and Is Arrested for Attempted Murder. London, Oct. 1. The trouble between Capt. J. W. Lawler and Mr. Black over the ownership of tho boat Never Sink, in which Captain Lawler crossed the Atlantic, has culminated in bloodshed. 'Tho boat was seized by Mr. Black at Cherbourg, France, and taken to Cowcs, Isle of Wight, whither Captain Lawler proceeded and took possession of her and brought her to Portsmouth. During tho temporary absence of Captain Lawler, Messrs. Black and Knowles put a crew of five men aboard tho boat. When Captain Lawler rejnrned to the Never Sink, on which it was his intention to sleep, he ordered tho men to leave, but they paid no attention to his order. He then visited the American consular agent at Portsmouth and consulted with him as to tho course to be pursued to regain possession of the boat. The agent advised him to re take the boat with the least force necessary to gain his end. Captain Lawler then armed himself with two crowbars and a revolver, and returned to the Never Sink. Ho climbed over the side, and with a crowbar felled the first of the crew who came to ward him. He then opened fire with his revolver, and a bullet struck a sailor named Meed in the leg. Tho others on the boat dodged into places of security. After a time two of the men emergel from their hiding-places, and, approaching Captain Lawler from behind, seized and disarmed him. He was then transferred to tho police boat. A large number of persons had gathered at thelanding-place, and upon the arrival of Captain Lawler they made an attempt to take him away from his guards for the purpose of lynching. The crowd was driven back by the police, and the prisoner was lodged safely in jail. He was subsequently arraigned and remanded on a charge of attempted murder. ? down an embankment. Three Railway Carriages Smashed Seven Persons Killed and Forty-Three Injured. Stuttgart, Oct 1. A train ran oft' tho track near Wild Park station to-day and rolled over an embankment. Three carriages crowded with passengers wero smashed into fragments.

The official report says that seven persons jvero killed and forty-three severely injured. Many of tho injured will probly die. Naples, Oct. 1. The official report on tho railway collision between Foggial and Naples, yesterday, anuounces that three persons were killed and twenty-seven injured.

A Washington dispatch to the Herald says: Col. W. W. Kockhill, formerly of Philadelphia and latterly secretary of legation at Pekin, China, has just returned to Washington from an exploring tour of 1,500 miles through the eastern part of Thibet, Half the country traversed had never been seen befoio by either an American or a European. It is tho same trip which Henry M. Stanley said, when here, ho would rather make . than go back to Africa, it being now terra incognito. CoL Kockhill. in making the tour, succeeded where all others have failed. A private gentleman, with no money but his own, ho nas achieved, through American courage and shrewdness, what English, French, Russian and Austrian explorers, backed by their respective governments, have failed to accomplish. It was just because ho was bravo and clever enough to go into the unknown and forbidding couutry with only four attendants, two of whom ho lost half way in, that he got through all right. He left Pekin in December last, and entered Thibet in January, emerging into-China again in June, and reaching the coast in August. He wore a Chinese costume in China and on the border, and a Thibetan costume in Thibet, and lived on native food. He speaks Chinese and Thibetan, and so was able to make himself understood everywhere. He has brought back most valuable data about the country, the people, their religion, cus

tom and commerce, no estimates the population at 2,000,000. one-third of whom are la nas or priests, who practically monopolize education and wealth. There is a nominal king, besides the grand lama, but the country is governed by the Chinese minister and residents, and pays tribute to China. The Chinese want to keep all the other foreigners out, so as to continue to monopolize tho tea trade. Thibet bays nearly 13,000.000 pounds of tea from China each year. The country is poor, exporting only musk and rhubarb. Gold mining is carried on feebly, being discouraged by the lamas. The country is largely a wilderness. England is trying to break in on the southern border of the country, to introduco Indian tea, but the Thibetans don't want Indian tea. although they are eager for all other Indian exports. The people are ignorant, superstitious and poor. The general customs of tho country are mediaeval in character. The lamas had never heard of the western Theosophists, and admitted that their saints no longer worked miracles. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Canon Griffin Displeased at Mr. Ilealy's Remarks About the University Scheme. Dublin', Oct, 1. Canon Griffin, of county Cork, has written a letter severely condemning the statements made by Mr. Timothy Healy at a recent meeting of the Dublin branch of the National League, that the denunciation by Mr. Balfour of tho Catholic university scheme was a bitter blow to those seeking to consolidate the power of England at the Vatican against the Irish Nationalists, and that the leading object of tho mission of Monsignor Persico to Ireland was to muzzle the Irish ecclesiastics. Canon Griffin says that Mr. Healy's remarks were grossly insulting, and that should such languago reach the Vatican it must teach the Pope what to expect if men like Mr. Healy ever get in power in Ireland. Canon Griflin declares that it looks very much like a schism in the church when Catholics applaud such utterances as those of Mr. Healy. Funeral of a French Patriot. Paris, Oct. 1. The funeral of General Fairdherbe took placo to-day. Tho body was buried in a crypt in the Hotel de Invalided M. de Freycinet delivered an address at the interment.

He eulogized the deceased for his stanch republican convictions, his respect'for discipline, and his devotion to honor, and said he had set an example that Franco should not forget. Before the body was placed in the crypt the troops present at tho ceremonies deli led past the catafalque upon which the remains rested. - - - - Boulanger at Outs with Ills Friends. London, Oct. 1.

The Two Pakotas and Washington Undoubtedly Carried by the Republicans. Montana's Vote Very Close, with the Chances in Favor of the Democratic State Ticketflow the Constitutions Fared. St. Paul, Oct. 1. The elections in the four new States to-day havo been held, and the voters -have given expression to their political views, a sort of announcement of birth, and to their elder brothers in the Union of States congratulations are to be extended for the acquisition of four prosperous commonwealths as members in full in the body politic. Beautiful weather was enjoyed throughout the Northwest, and the present indications are that tho voto has been a full one. The capital fight in South Dakota and Washington called out the few voters who might otherwise have been classed as stay-at-homes, while the closeness of the State acted in a similar way in Montana. Work was not by any means abandoned for votes, the Sunday-school children in .Aberdeen, S. D.. marching in procession during the day to intluence the voto on the prohibition amendment. Those towns in South Dakota which were not themselves capital aspir ants were rilled with workers lor the con testing cities. The two Dakotas had been conceded to the Republicans early in the day, the point to be settled being only as to tho size of the majority. The interest in North Dakota was centered in prohibition. the friends of which were hopeful, and tbe district judgeships. Also there was much interest in tne Legislature as regards the feelings for or against the senatorial cahdidacy of ex-Governors Pierce and Ordway. In the Dakotas the Questions to bo decided were: In South Da kota. State nnd legislative oflicers. t v? i rnnrrrAccinrtQl onrl i ml r alert Vrt lTlfT ou tne Constitution, on a prohibition clause. a clause for minority representation in tne Legislature and on the temporary location of tno State capital. North Dakota voted ior tne same oiheers. and also on tho constitution and a prohibition clause therein. The length of the tickets will . cause much delay in the collection of returns. A bioux Falls. S. I)., special save: The elections in this citr and vicinity to-day were conducted in the most, quiet and or derly manner, the weather being magniliccnt, and from all directions come reports of the heaviest vote ever polled in the history of the Territory. Tho city of Sioux Falls alone polled a vote of 2,150 and gives a small Republican majority. Reports from dmerent parts of the State come iu slow, but enough has been re ceived to ehow that tho Republicans havo carried tho day. Mellette for Gov ernor, ana l'ickler ana Uitlord ior Con gress will have a majority of not less than 10.000. Prohibition is running well, and has certainly been carried by a small majority. Indications point toward Sioux Jtalls as the selection lor the capital. Reports from different sections indicate that the Republicans have the Legislature by a majority of about 120 on joint ballot. This insures both United States Senators, lho State Constitution is car ried almost unanimously, but minority rep resentation Is deteateu. A dispatch from Bisnlarck at 11 ' o'clock says: At this hour lew returns from the btato at large have been received. Tho Republican legislative ticket in this county has been elected by majorities ran trine from 100 to 150. Winchester.

Kepublicans "Win In Washington. Tacoma, V. T., Oct. 1. From meagre returns received from this and adjacent counties, the vote will be larger than ever before cast in tho Territory. Indications all point to .the election of Ferry and the entire Republican State ticket, including Wilson for Congress, by a majority averaging 4.000. Scratching was general on ooin ticiters. ine complex ion or tne legislature must remain in doubt until the Yote is fully counted, as tho battle was concen trated on that lield. The separato articles to the Constitution, embracing the prohibitory and woman suffraco planks. are unnnestionablr defeated bv a lara ma jority, lne constitution will be ratified. but not by tne majority its supporters thoncht it would obtain. Midnight The returns now indicate that Washington has elected a Republican Governor and Congressman by 7.000. and the Legislature by hlteen majority. At Walla Walla the women's vote was received at all precincts, but were de posited in separate boxes. The total vote, a: - 4 y a iivpoiit mrr .- firiiitn i i ii ' iniir rt mam women voted. At Rockford the women tried to vote, but were refused. A Close Vote In Montana. Helena, M. T., Oct. 1. Returns up to 11 o'clock show almost a complete change in the voto in Montana from the last con gressional election. The counties of Deer Lodge and Silver Bow, in which the towns of Anaconda and Butto are situated, and which gave last year a Republican majority of 2,500. have gone Democratic this year. Tho .Democratic managers claim tho entire State ticket and a majority of the Legis lature. . Tho Journal (Republican) claims the State for Carter by 2.500. and says Power will not run ooo behind it, and says the Legislature cannot be forecast, but is con fident of a Republican majority. The Jour-' nal says the country districts 6how large Republican gains over Carter's majority of 5,000 last year, and returns from Butte and Deer Lodge cannot overcome Republican, country districts.

REDUCING THE LOANS. The President Is Keeping Ills Campaign Promise Concerning Natloual Dank Funds. Eoeciol to the Indixn.'uwlls Journ&L Washington; Oct. L. During the last days of President Cleveland's administration tho government's loans to national banks increased to about $01,000,000. Gen. Harrison during the campaign promised that the amount should be decreased, since it was well known that most of the loans were made to favor politicians and wero not in the interest of the people. That promise is being fulfilled. The aggregate has been decreased to about $47,000,000 since March, and before Congress convenes it will come down much further, to probably $25,000,000 and perhaps one half what it is at present This money, as it piles up in the Treasury, is being applied as rapidly as possible to the purchase of outstanding bonds. The extinguishment of the national debt and tho application of the money to tno purcnase oi uonus iu me marKet is so greatly in excess of the reduction of the loans to national banks that no fear can possibly be entertained in any quarter that the calling in of the loans will distress or atlect the money market. It may affect the volume ot operating muds of a few national banks, but it canuot in the least degree make an impression upon the circulating medium of the country. It is simply taking tho government money out of the hands of nationalbanks and putting it into the pockets of bondholders, wbo will peek borrowers. It is probable that President Harrison's message to Congress in December will 6how that under his administration tho loans to national banks have been reduced two-thirds, and that by tho end of the present fiscal year, June 0.1800, there will be none outstanding.

Commodore Walker's New Appointment. Washington, Oct. ! Secretary Tracy has relieved Commodore JohnG. Walker from the head of the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department, and has ordered him to proceed to New York and prepare to take charge of the European station. His new title will be acting rear admiral, commander-in-chief of the squadron of evolu tion. The vessels ordered to accompany him are the Chicago, Atlanta, Boston and "i'orktown. The Enterprise will be added to the fleet when it arrives in Europe. The Secretary saj-s that the relief of Commodore Walker grew out of no personal or official difieiences between himself and the commodore. The officer has been eight years at the head of the Navigation Bureau, and his time would soon expire. To reappoint him for another terra would mean continuous service on shoro aud in the department for twelve years, a precedent which the Secretary does not care to establish. The vessels which will bo under Commodore Walker's command are the pick of the navy, ami. in fact, with the exception of the Charleston and Baltimore, which have not yet been accepted, they represent all of the navy.
