WITHOUT A QUORUM
Democrats Were Unable to Unseat Kepresentative Joy. Republicans Filibustered Against the Proposed Oatracre and the House Was Forced to Adjourn. LITTLE DONE BY SENATORS Printing Oflice Site Bill Not Finally Disposed Of. Debate on a Proposed Inquiry Into Unlawful Coinage of Silver Dollars The Russian Thistle Pest. WASHINGTON, March 22.-The House House spent the entire day filibustering over the O'Neill-Joy contested election case from the St. Louis district. The report from the committee on elections la in favor of unseating Mr. Joy, the Republican, an J the Republicans are determined that this shall not be accomplished unless the Democrats produce their own quorum. For live hours to-day they filibustered and kept the House deadlocked. The highest number of Democratic votes cast during the day was 106 thirteen short of a quorum. An unsuccessful attempt was made to adjourn over Good Friday, and the struggle be resumed to-morrow. At the opening of the session of to-day, on motion of Mr. Dalztll, the Senate bill for the construction of a bridge across the Monongahela river at Pittsburg was passed. On motions of Mr. Catchings a joint resolution was passed authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to receive at the subtreasury In, the city of New York, irom It. T. Wilson & Co., $C.74O.0)O. to be placed to the credit of the Cherokee nation. Chairman Brown, of the committee on elections, presented the report on the En-gllsh-Hllborn contested election case and Mr. Waugh was given leave to file the views of the minority. On motion of Mr. Cox a bill was passed to extend the time of the act authorizing the SL Louis & Birmingham Railroad Company to construct a bridge across the Tennessee river at Clifton, Tenn. Mr. Patterson then called ui the contested election case of O'Niell vs. Joy, Eleventh Missouri district, and Mr. Waugh promptly raised the question of consideration against It, and the filibustering began. The Republicans refused to vote, and the quorum waa broken, the vote resulting lid to 0 twenty shcrt of a quorum. A call of the Hous3 followed. The call developed the presence of 257 members. The vote then recurred upon the question of consideration. The Republicans repeated their tac-. tics, and declined to answer to their names. Again the Democrats failed to muster a quorum, although they polled ltW votes, psven more than on the previous roll call. Mr. Patterson moved a call of the House and, pending that, Mr. Waugh moved to adjourn. The motion to adjourn was lost 24 to 172. Mr. Patterson withdrew the motion for a call of the House end the vote recurred upon the question of consideration. Ajair. a quorum f.iil :d only 157 Democrats appearing. Mr. Patterson moved a call of tne House, and, upon his f otlon, Mr. Burrows forced a roll call, he call was ordered 153 to 11. A quorum reappeared upon tha call of the House, and Mr. Patterson moved to dispense with further proceedings under the call, but Mr. Burrows compelled a roll call on the motion. The motion was carried, and Mr. Van Voorhis. of New York, moved that when the House adjourned to-day it be to nieu on Saturday. Mr. Van Voorhls's motion was defeated, and the vote again recurred on the question of consideration. After the roll call had been completed Mr. Livingston called attention to the fact that the gentleman from Maine (Heed) was In his seat, and, without excuse, had refused to answer to his name. He demanded that he be brought before the bar of the House and required to vote or give his excuse for not voting. Mr. Bailey, in tha chair, declared that there was nothing in the rules requiring a member to appear at the bar of the House. Mr. Livingston then tried to shift his ground, claiming that the dignity of the House was Involved. "The dignity of the House Is In the keeping of the House," replied the chairman, 'and It has not prescribed any method for enforcing thl3 rule." "It is not a very large dignity," interposed Mr. Reed, amid laughter. Mr. Livingston fenced for some time with Mr. Bailey, but the latter ruled him out of order, and then announced that the vote had resulted l.",0 to 1 still no quorum. Thereupon Mr. Patterson moved a call of the House and Mr. Waugh, pending that, moved an adjournment. The motion to adjourn was lost, and Mr. Van Voorhls then moved that when the House adjourn today It be to meet on Monday next. Mr. Brown, chairman of the committee on elections, then gave up the contest. "It being apparent that we can make no further progress to-day," said lie, "I move the House now adjourn." Accordingly, at 6:30 the House adjourned. A Deiuocrut to lie Seated. WASHINGTON. March 22. The ronterted election cas? of English vs. Hllborn, Third California district, was finally disposed of by the committee cn elections today by the adoption of the report presented by Chairman Brown, favoring the seating of the contestant. The vote was strictly a party one. SEN ATI PROCEEDINGS. Printing Ottlce Sit-, Counterfeiting; uml Thistle IMicunjumI. WASHINGTON, March 22. The bill for the purchase of a site for the new Government Printing Oflice consumed nearly the whole morning hour, and, much to the surX'tlse of nearly everybody, an amendment providing for the purchase of what is known as the "Mahone site" was passed. Notice for a motion to reconsider the vote was given, however, and at some future time the subject will be reopened. The McGarrahan bill, which was to have been taken up to-day, went over until Monday. The bill for the examination of the Russian thistle shared a like fate. A resolution offered by Senator Hoar expressing regret at the death of Kossuth was adopted. Mr. Sherman precipitated a discussion in the nature of a free-silver debate by the Introduction of a resolution directing the committee on Judiciary to examine and reXort whether the simulation of the coins of the United States by coins of same weight, metal and fineness, except as authorized by law, is made criminal by the acts against counterfeiting coins of the United States and other countries, and if not to report a bill to prevent and punish such simulation. He sent to the clerk's desk and had read a press dispatch from Omaha. Neb., stating that there was a private mint there which was, engaged in coining sliver dollars of the same weight and fineness as the standard silver dollar, maklnir their profit on the difference between the actual value of the silver and the coined value, a protit of about 51 cents on the dollar. This resolution gave rise to much raillery, end Senator Cullom was heard to remark to

Senator Cockrell. sotto voce: "If they cannot get free coinage in one way they will In , another." Mr. Manderson did not believe It was pospible that the existing laws were not sum- j c:nt to reach the class of counterfeiters mentioned, but If it was true he thought
the defect should be remedied. He doubted the story emanating from Omaha, basing h!s lxdlef on his knowledge of that community. "Although," he added, quizzically, "west of the Missouri river we are very anxiou.s for an Increase of the circulating medium." Mr. Stewart objected to the present consideration of the resolution, and It went over without action. On motion of Mr. Gorman It was agreed that when the Senate adjourned to-day it be to meet next Monday. Senator Call, from the committee on appropriations, reported the fortilicatlon bill and gave notice that he would try to call it uj Tuesday next. At 12:40 the Government Printing Office bill was taken up, and Mr. Vest, who has charge of the bill, advocated the purchase of ground adjacent to the present building and the construction upon it of a live or six-story structure. A yea and nay vote was demanded on the amendment which provided for the purchase of the Mahone site, on North Capitol and "L" streets, to the north of the present building, and the amendment was carried 7 to 22. Mr. Harris moved to reconsider the vote, but the motion went over without action. Senator Hansbrough sought to secure immediate consideration of the bill to provide for the destruction of the Russian thistle. The bill was read In full, as was also the report of the committee. Senator George, chairman of the committee on agriculture, who has the bill in charge, said the bill did not meet the approval of all members of the committee; he himself was opposed to it. It was a step In the direction of paternalism In government and was a longer step in that direction than any he had ever seen. The proposition to appropriate H.OOO.Ouu was preposterious. Mr. Harris proposed. Jokingly, to offer an amendment proposing to give half of the appropriation for the elimination of crab grass. Mr. Dolph found very little difference between appropriating money to build levees along the Mississippi rive and appropriating money to exterminate Russian thistles. "I think that is just as absurd and unconstitutional as this," interrupted Mr. Harris. "I hope the Senator will stick to that," said Mr. Dolph. "He has stood to it and will stick to it to the end," retorted Mr. Harris. Mr. Dolph urged the passage of the bill, as it would benefit government lands In the affected States as well as private lands. Mr. Hansbrough, who was pressing the bill, said he did not intend to speak at great length or to enter into any controversy with the constitutional lawyers on the other side of the Senate. The question of congressional action in such cases was definitely settled when the pleuro-pneumonla act of 1SS1 was passed. In his opinion the Russian thistle was a greater pest to agriculture than all the other pests with which Congress hail ever dealt, and if not promptly destroyed would require $3.0iO,00O to $10,OM,0.X) to deal with it, for It was as certain to spread as that the sun would rise tomorrow. It already covered a large part of five States and was found in seven States. He urged the passage of the bill In the interest of agriculture, and said It was the duty of Congress to protect its greatest natural industry agriculture and to appropriate the sum asked for in the bill. Senator Call favored the bill and held that as the States were forbidden by the Constitution to enter into any confederacy or government with one another for mutual protection. It was perfectly competent and proper for the general government to furnish this protection. At 3:5J p. m. and before final action coiild be taken on the bill, the Senate went into executive session, the bill being made the special order after the McGarrahan bill shall have been disposed of on Monday. At 4:03 the Senate adjourned until Monday. AUSTRIAN DANKER K0HBED. His Daughter and 530,000 Stolen by a Doiis American Vanderbilt. NEW YORK, March 22.-Banker Endorf. of Vienna, is In New York in search of a young man who is wanted in a number of European cities. IBs name Is Kerr, and his operations were on a large scale and uniformly successful. About threa months ago banker Endorff, one of the solid men of the Austrian capital, met at his club a young and handsome American, who was introduced to him as Mr. Armstrong, of Chicago. The two men soon became warm friends. Then Mr. Armstrong told the banker that he was in reality Edward Vanderbilt, a nephew of William H., and that he was traveling incognito to avoid notoriety. Mr. Endorff was' charmed, und invited the youns Croesus to his heme. The invitation was accepted. Mr. Vander-; bilt went to the banker's house, and at once seemed to fall violently in love with Freda, his beautiful daughter. Papa Endorff rubbed his hands in glea when he saw evidence of the young man's passion, which seemed to be reciprocated. But his joy lasted only a short time. Three weeks ago Mr. Vanderbilt and Freda fled from Mr. Endorffs home, taking the equivalent of S30.0M) in hard cash with them. The girl had yielded to her lover's solicitation and cast her lot with him without going through the marriage forms. The police of Vienna told Mr. Endorff that Vanderbilt's real name was Kerr, and that he was a confidence man. No trace of the swindler was found In the cltj', and It is supposed that he came to this country at once. However that may be. the banker is In New York in hope of finding some clew to his lata guest. NOTED FORGER CONVICTED. Stonewall J. Dc France Found Guilt' by a Kalamazoo Jury. KALAMAZOO. Mich., March 22. Stonewall J. De France, of Detroit, was convicted this noon of forgery. The jury was out but a short time. On Nov. 23, 1S91, a forged draft of $12,500 was presented at the First National Bank In this city by Lewis Forrest, representing himself about to buy a farm, and he obtained ?5,000. Stonewall J. De France, under arrest at Detroit in the fall of 183;?, answered to Forrest's description, and he was brougnt here and charged with being Forrest and having committed the crime. Bank officers and others who were brought into contact with Forrest Identified De t rance as the man, although Forrest was disguised with a mustache and spectacles. The defense attempted to prove an alibi. They claimed that De France attended church In Detroit at the same hour that Forrest attended church here. They Introduced contracts made between De France and certain Galvlns on Nov. 24, 1V.1, at the same time that Forrest was securing his $.VW In this city. The prosecution proved by a Detroit lawyer that he was hired by De France to make th?se contracts, and executed them in January, ISM, while De France was In Kalamazoo Jail. Dc France is accused of similar cilmes In Minneapolis and elsewhere, and otlicers have been waiting to rearrest him in case of his acquittal. He has not yet been sentenced. PRIEST TURNS PROTESTANT. Father A. Lambert Leaves the Roman Catholic Church. NEW YORK, March 22. It is announced that Father A. Lambert, one of the leading mlssionaiics of the Redemptorist Order of the Roman Catholic Church, has renounced the prIesthoxl and withdrawn from the church. He has addressed to the superiorgeneral of the order In Rome a letter to this effect, stating that his action was dictate'! by the voice of conscience. When the announcement was first made that Father A. Lambert had become a jrrotestant it was thought by many that the prie.-t was the same who had a warm discussion with Colonel Ingrsoll and toen me Involved In a rtismite with Hishnri McQuide of Rochester. This Is a wrong , impression, however, as the name of the t prle.Jt who took part in the controversies! ivferred to Is Father L A. Lambert.
HE DID SOT TESTIFY
And Madeline Pollard and Many Others Were Disappointed. Colonel Breckinridffo Will Not Take the Stand in His Own Dehalf Until All the Evidence Is In. SEVEN DEPOSITIONS READ All Intended to Prove the Plaintiff Gave False Testimony, That She Was Not at the Norwood Convent in 1885 and that She Is Older than She Claims to De. WASHINGTON, March 22,-Counsel for Colonel Breckinridge have decided to follow the example of their opponents by reserving their client's testimony for the closing card in the case. Accordingly, the silver-haired Congressman disappointed many people in the District Court room to-day by failing to go on the witness stand, and one of the disappointed was Madeline Pollard herself, who left the court as soon as she learned of the programme for the day. The entire day was dragged out by the reading of depositions all aimed at two points, viz., to prove that Miss Bollard did not give birth to a child at the Norwood convent in 1SS5, and that she is older than she represents herself to be. There will be nothing more for the jury until Monday, as the court Intends to observe Good Friday and the session Saturday will be devoted to arguments over the admissibility of depositions to show thaQ Miss Pollard had been intimate with other men than the defendant, to which the plaintiff has given notice of objections. Judge Bradley has been the recipient since the commencement of this trial of an unusually large correspondence, all concerning the case. Many letters come from religious people urging him In the interests of the morals of the community to exclude newspaper reporters from the court, an order which the Judge says is not in his power to give. One missive which has caused the Judge to smile was signed by a woman member of the bar and suggested that since he had excluded all women from the court when Miss Pollard gave her testimony, that the men should be debarred and the women admitted when Colonel Breckinridge takes the stand. The rt-adlng of depositions was taken up again this morning when the court met, to the regret of maiy spectators who had assembled with the expectation that Representative Breckinridge would tell his story. Madeline Pollard was seated be.iide her lawyer, Judge Wilson talking to him, with a smile playing across her lace, and once as she talked she glanced orer her shoulder at the white-haired defenlant. Before Attorney Stoll had proceeded far with his elocutionary effort Miss Pollard and her company arose and glided from the room, interrupting the reading. SISTER AUGUSTINE'S DEPOSITION. The first deposition was that of Sistec Augustine, of the Norwood Convent Asylum, where Miss Pollard was at first confined. This Sister had been for years at the convent, did not recognize Miss Pollard, who had been at the convent, and said there never had been but one Louise Wilson there, and she gave birth to a child there last fall. During the time Miss Pollard claimed to have been In the Institution there had been a young woman there veiled most of the time. .. There was a rather unusual Incident when Mr. Stoll read out the name of this young woman, who had claimed to be from a Northern State, then apologized and explained to the court that the Sister had only Riven the name under the condition that it was to be kept secret, and not to be repeated. This Sister had been present at the interview In the convent btween Miss Pollard, attorneys Carlisle and Johnson and Sister Agnes, whose deposition had been read yesterday. Sister Augustine also failed to recognize Miss Pollard. Her recollection of Miss Pollard's explanation of her motive for bringing the suit was that it would secure justice. The entries on the convent book under the name of Miss Burgoyne eorres;ond with the dates which Miss Pollard ami Dr. Street had given of her admittance to the asylum, the birth of the child and her departure. The name of the child on the record was "Marie Gertrude Burgoyne." According to the recollection of the Sister Mls3 Burgoyne had visited the convent twice after the child was born. The child, Marie Gertrude Burgoyne, had died in July, 1SS5. When Miss Pollard was told of this, the Sister deposed, she had thrown up her hands and run from the room, but when she returned there was no evidence of grief in her face. When, In the course of the deposition, attorney Stoll began to read testimony concerning the visit of one of Miss Pollard's attorneys, Mr. Mallon, to the convent, Mr. Carlisle objected to It as irrelevant. Whatever one of Miss Pollard's attorneys might have done at the convent not In the presence of the parties to the suit, but in the pursuit of his professional duties, he argued, was irrelevant. Mr. Stoll protested that he wanted to show that all facilities had been granted the plaintiff's representatives for securing information at the convent. Colonel Shelby added that the attorney had gone In the capacity of agent for Miss Pollard, therefore his acts were binding upon her, a construction of the relations of client and attorney from which the Judge dissented. lie also sustained the objection of Mr. Carlisle. It develop! that attorney Mallon had examined the books of the convent and copied some of the entries. Judge Bradley admitted the statement of fact, but excluded the conversation which had taken place between the attorney and the Sister. A DISPUTED CHRISTMAS CARD. The Christmas card which had been found between the leaves of a volume of Washington Irving given to the convent by Miss Pollard was produced with this deposition and displayed to the jury. It was a large souvenir, six by eight inches, fringed, on which was caught and pressed a faded rose. This Christmas card Is expected to play an Important part In the case, as proof that Miss Pollard was confined i:i the convent, and the defense claims that when It was displayed by Miss Pollard, who averred that she had found it in the book, one corner was rolled up in a way impossible for a card that had been eight years pressed in a book. Sister Augustine, according to the deposition, had declared that the statue of St. Joseph In the convent had perfect eyes. Miss Pollard had recollected th.it one eye of the statue was out of line. The second deposition, read by attorney Stoll. was by Iena Schmidt, who had been employed for eight years In the Norwood convent. She had no recollection of a woman In the convent In 1S5 under the name cf Louise Wilson, and had never seen Madeline Pollard until last December. She had been present at the Interview between Sister Agnes and the plaintiff, but. as the former had testified, failed to identify Miss Pollard as one she had ever seen. According to her remembrance. Miss Pollard had said of her motive for the suit: "I did It for Justice and to disgrace Mr. Breckinridge." The deposition of Dr. W. E. De Courcey, physician at the Norwood convent, was objected to by Mr. Carlisle, on the ground of immateriality, but admitted by the Judge. The physician testified that he did not know Madeline Pollard or Louise Wilson, but there had been a gul In the convent named Wllor. In 1S4 and 1SS5, whose first name he did not remember, and whose face he would not recognize. He had looked over the books of the asylum and found no record of Louise Wilson. At times a special physician attended patients at the hospital, if they so requestel. One girl w ho gave birth to a child had her face veiled, because, she claimed. Dr. De Courcey knew her. Theie had been five hundred children born at the asylum. Dr. De Courcey had not been cross-examined. O. G. BROWN'S TESTIMONY. The deposition of O. G. Brown, president of Qulnn Valley College, In Ohio, and son of the president of Wesleyan Seminary, where MI.-:s Pollard had attended, was read. He was a young man In the- years of Mis Pollard's schooling, and. from the records of the school, testified that her

The deponent had often visited Rhodes to press lor payment, but the latter had begged off representing that he was hard up, that the expenses were greater than he expected, etc. Conversations between Hrown and Rhodes, testified to, were objected to by the plaintiff's attorneys and the objection sustained. The answer to the question "concerning his understanding of the relations between Miss Tollard and Mr. Rhodes" was excluded also, on the ground that the basis of that understanding waa not given. An Interesting1 question was raised over the admission of the testimony of Mr. Brown, based on the records of the school kDt by others than himself, to show the attendance and absences of Miss Pollard, and this passage was excluded, the usual exception belnp noted. Mr. Brown remembered that in the soring: of l&S Miss Pollard had left school to visit her home on account of the death of her sister, but thl3 was also excluded on the same grounds. Witness had been personally acquainted wiyi Colonel Breckinridge, and remembered that he had called at the school once. Miss Pollard had been in the habit of claiming relationship or friendship with most" of the prominent people of Kentuckj', R'-iong them Mr. Breckinridge and Senator Blackburn. This boasted acquaintance of hers had grown Into a joke at the school, so that the visit of Colonel Breckinridge, being unexpected, had Impressed Itself upon him a3 a corroboration of her claims. Witness remembered that Colonel Breckinridge had taken Miss Pollard driving that evening-. The question as to the feeling about Miss Pollard's return to the school was excluded on objection. By the scholars Miss Pollard had been jokingly called "Madeline Vivian Bill Breckinridge Joe Blackburn Pollard." . "What sort of a looking man was Rhodes?" was one of the questions read by Mr. Stoll. "Oh, we don't care what Rhodes looked like," sail the plaintiffs counsel. "But we do." responded Mr. Stoll. Mr. Brown's reply as read was that Rhodes looked like a farmer just an honest old farmer. He had never heard anything of the relations between Miss Pollard and Professor Overmeyer exceptt the statement in the letter to "Wessie" Brown that she (Miss Pollard) was consumed by an undving love for him. Witness testl-. fled that according to his recollection,' based on his dlnry. Colonel Breckinridge had not visited Miss Pollard Aug. 2 and had never visited her but once. He had been criticised for permitting Miss Pollard tc go riding with Mr. Breckinridge. THE CROSS-EXAMINATION". Another interesting point was raised when Mr. Carlisle began to read the crossexamination and proposed to omit portions of It The defense objected to the omissions and Mr. Carlisle explained that he only wished to omit that part of the cross-examination which referred to the matter in direct examination excluded by the Judge. After a short wrangle Judge Bradley decided that plaintiff could omit any part of the deposition, and If relevant matter was omitted the defense could read It. but hf'.d that the court could not compel elthef side to read affidavits or parts of them. In the cross-examination It developed that Miss Pollard has been considered at school "a very nice girl" and "bright girl." Mr. Brown, in re-direct examination, declared that Mlas Pollard was old enough when In school and had sufficient general knowledge to resist Improper advances front a man. It was a part of the curriculum to teach girls what sort of treatment they should expect from gentlemen. When this matter was to be gone Into at further length Miss Pollard's attorney objected, and Judge Bradley excluded It, remarking "that's expert testimony," thereby stirring a laugh. The deposition of Dr. U. B. Williams, who had lived In Bridgeport, Ky.. in 1Sj5. was objected to, but admitted with the exception cf one question and answer. In that year he had attended Mrs. Pollard, who gave birth to a child. There were then three other children, one of them a little tot called "Mattle." or "Madle," and the child born then was also called "Madie." The Doctor. It appeared on cros3-examina-toin. Is a member of the board of pension examiners. Dr. J. Owen Robinson, of Lexington, whose deposition waa read, knew Miss Pollard. He did not consider her a beiutlful Kirl. but one attractive because of her intellectual brilliancy. He flm met Madelino at the house of her aunt and she impressed turn as being between sixteen and seventeen years old. More of what Judge Bradley considered export testimony was excluded. Another deposition, from V. M. Sehofield. o' Frankfort, formerly a blacksmith of Bridei-ort, rret cbjectlon from the plaintiff's attorney. The blacksmith had known MLjs Pollard's Either In 1W3. and testified that he had three children then, the young

Before adjournment attorney Carlisle gave notice that there would be objections to some other depositions, and suggested that arguments should be heard Saturday. Judge Wilson added that some of the questions would make it necessary to refer to the depositions themselves, so that the presence of the Jury would not be proper. With the understanding that if Mr. liutterworth Is able to attend, the arguments will be heard Saturday, the court adjourned. MAY PLCAI1 HIS OW.V CASE. Colonel IlreckinrltlKe Not Glvlnic Ills Attorneys u Good Show. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, March 22. There 13 some trouble between Representative W. C. P. Breckinridge and his counsel In the celebrated damage suit It Is not serious trouble, but it Is sufficient to embarrass the defense. The Kentucky Congressman thinks he is about the best lawyer there Is Jn this case, and he insists on conducting the line of defense himself. He has seldom conferred with any one of his counsel as to the general policy to be pursued, or the admission or omission of testimony. He directs every thing himself, in spite of the fact that Major Butterworth, Colonel Thompson and other attorneys for the defense have reminded him that the lawyer who pleads his own case has a fool for a client. Colonel Thompson has been preparing to make an elaborate argument to the Jury, but he has ben given to understand, so it Is said, that Colonel Breckinridge will himself occupy the time. One or two of the attorneys for the defense intimate that all of tho attorneys on his side have been overshadowed In legal procedure by the arbitrary action of the defendant himself, and good feeling do?s not prevail on the Breckinridge side of the table at the Judiciary Building. "HONEST TOM" ARRESTED. Ex-Treasurer Tuite, of Detroit, Charged with Stealing S15.522. NEW YORK, March 22. Thomas P. Tulte, aged forty-five years, who lives at Fort Lee, N. J., has been arrested on a charge of having stolen I15.C22 from the city treasury of Detroit, Mich. Tulte was defeated in the recent election and It was subsequently found that! the books had been falsified to cover up a defalcation. Tulte had served two terms as treasurer, and was known in Detroit as "Honest Tom." Two years had elapsed before the fact of embezzlement was established. He was tracked to Brooklyn, and from there to Fort L:e, where he made his home, lie was arrested just as he was taking the ferry boat in this city for Fort Iee. Tulte is a fine looking man, and evidently of more than ordinary Intelligence. It is said that he squandered the money he Is charged with stealing In rpeculaUons that turned out badly. A dispatch announcing his capture was sent to the chief of pollctj In Detroit, and word came back that the necessary requisition pajrs would be sent on with all possible dispatch. Meanwhile Tulte will be held here. A Discarded Lover Revenue. DURANGO. Mexico. March 22. Near here, in Cacaria, has oceunvd a triple tragedy.
