Ind.t Nov. 10. The perpetrator of one of the most fiendish attempts to wipe out an entire family In this county has been located by detectives, and. although his name Is for the present withheld from the public, the circumstances of his guilt are believed to have been fully established, and an early arrest will be made. Headers of the Journal were apprised of the poisoning of the family and of four hired hands of Henry Iliatt, who resides near Anderson, and Is a. well-to-do farmer, on the 5th of July last. The water In the we ll had "been poisoned and all were made violently 111. All eventually recovered, but the youngest member of the family. Is still a hopeless Invalid as the result. The well was dredged and two cans brought up, both of which were covered with fine wire. One can contained paris green and the other was half full of artenlc. Tied up with the wire were two craps of paper that have been quite helpful In tracing the perpetrator of the crime. One contained the name of a city drug store on it. and Inquiry revealed that a man who was described as a farmer had purchased, a large quantity of paris green and arsenic The other contained a portion of an "ad" or the C. W. Carpenter & Co. dry-goods Arm. The "ad" had been printed In the Anderson Weekly Democrat, and later the person under suspicion was found to be a subscriber of that paper. The clew, to the important events was furnished detectives by tho physician who attended those who were made 111. . Y. 3!. C. A. EXDOAV3IE.XT. Flan for Raiting Fundi for Erection of State llelinnrterii. Special 'to the Indianapolis Journal. TEttRE HAUTE Ind., Nov. 10. The State convention of the Young Men's Christian Association closed to-night with platform meetings In a number of. churches. On all ides It was pronounced the most successful convention yet held by the association. The programme to-day Included morning services In the churches, conducted by delegates, a hnasg meeting for men at the opera house in tne afternoon and a woman's meeting. The boys choir from Indianapolis furnished music at several places and this afternoon there was a fong service at the Y. 31. C. A. rooms for boys only, that the Terre Haute boys might have full opportunity to hear the choir which has attracted much attention Incc It has teen here. The State executive committee submitted to delegates and others a circular statement of the proposed endowment fund for the State work. It -was first suggested ai the Marlon convention in 1832 and at the convention last year at Columbus. The committee recommended that all associa tion officers and leaders co-operate In' arousing greater' interest, among those who might sooner or later assist In the proposed enterprise. It is found to be very difficult to secure from current annual subscriptions enough to maintain the work at Its present standard. The endowment would do for State work what buildings are doing for local work. A special committee, appointed at the Columbus convention, reports the following plan for the endowment: "First This Is a day of endowments, and all strong organizations of the church are being developed chiefly by providing for their permanent and stable, existence. "Second En lowment gives the only possible opportunity for forming large plans and extensive policies. "Third Endowment will liberate energy jx.ow -locked up by financial difficulties. . '.'FourthContrary to expectations, endowments stimulate ordinary contributions. Your special committee appointed to suggest a scheme, in definite shape would report as follows! In view of the experience of leading city associations in renting portions of their well-located buildings for ciUce and other purposes, ani In v.ew of the experience in Massachusetts; where over I10.CCO has already been subscribed for a State Association Building in Boston, to cost perhaps JXi.OCV and to be the endowment of the State work, wo would recommend that ' subscriptions be taken from among ourselves and friends throughout the date to purchase a well-located business lot in Indianapolis, and in due time erect thereon a modern building which will brln & steady and increasing income in rentals and provide suitable rooms for the headquarters of the State Association. We would tlso recommend that members of the State committee and their friends, as far a3 poss..e, keep this proposition before people who are planning to give money to various benevolent projects during their lifetime, through their wills or otherwise. "We would further recommend that the following form of bequest be given a prominent position on the circulars and other printed matter Issued by the State committee: I give anl bequeath to the endow ment fund of the In liana Young Men's, Cnnstian Association the sum or aoiiare, and the receipt of the treasurer of said rssoclation shall be sufficient discharge to mj executors for the same. "To those who desire to contribute to our endowment fund and tiave not the ready cash or sure estate to do so. we would suggest a plan which is not burden some, is sure of accomplishing the desired result and has already been adopted by tome I. o.. carrying a policy of life insurance, making our association the beneficiary. Policies ran be written in many different forms due at death only, or due at death or in a definite number of years, or payable in ten. tirteen. twenty and twrn ty-llve Installments after the death of the Insured, thereby assuring the association of a definite contribution through a period of years after the donor Is dead." Interested persons are invited to communicate with John F. Wallick, treasurer, Indianapolis, or E. E. Stacy. State secretary, or any one of the twenty members cf the State executive committee throughout the State. IXDIAW ODITVARY. lion. John MrCord. n 3Iember of the Irealnlature In 1 Gpeclil to the Indianapolis Journal. VIXCKNNES. Ind.. Nov. lO.-Death has C last divided the aged twins, Robert and John McCord. of this city. The latter died last night. Robert Is very feeble. Hon. John McCord passed his eighty-fifth birthi!ay two weeks ago. He represented Knox county In the State Legislature in nnd was a man of great influence in local .affairs. He had been a lifelong Presbyterian. AVI I Ham Clark. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., Nov. 10. William Clark, father of Francis and Jefferson Clark, well-known business men of this city, died last nifht at his home in NewParis. O., six miles east of here, aged A-XKGRO'S WOE?. tlon at Coluinhui. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS. Ind.. Nov. 10. Danie! Cheatham, the negro beggar who slashed his friend with a razor, seems to be a victim of malicious persecution. Last Sunday morning Cheatham was arrested and appeared In Police Court on Monday and pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault and battery. His preliminary examination was set for Thursday, when he waa acquitted. Several witnesses testified In his behalf that GIb3on was drunk and knocked the beggar down the cellar steps before X.'heatham turned on him with a knife. Gibson then swore out another case and took Cheatham before 'Squire Uennison where he was again discharged. Instead of Gibson and the prosecutor letting the matter drop then, they swore out anotherwarrant nnd had the iirlff take Cheatham directly before Circuit Court JuJgc Hord. Saturday belnj the last day of his term ot court the Judc released Cheatham without bond to appear at tho next term of court. A good deal of falfee sympatny has been wasted on Gibson, as the affa:r soems to have been all his fault. It Is a clear v'o'atlon of the law to arrest a man more than onoe for the same offense when tnere is no new testimony to bo Introduced anl there ts no legitimate way to
take a man to the Circuit Court without first having him bound over by the lower courts or by the grand jury. Yesterday Cheatham swore out two warrants for Gibson one for assault and battery and another for intoxication, and Gibson will be arrested on sight. WHY THE GAS WAS SIIOIIT.
Story Told by nichniond People on the Hesldent of Hnarerstown. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., Nov. 10. A rather funny Incident came to light the other day when a sudden shortage of natural gas caused the people of Hagerstown to wonder what the matter.was. It developed that the company there had been getting gas, without knowing it, from the main line of the Richmond Gas Company, which passes nar the place: that this state of affairs bad been discovered ana tne gas snut on. with the shortage as above stated. It was at first rumored that the Hagerstown com pany has been stealing the gas, but this was not correct. A farmer named Pierce drilled a well on his farm and piped gas to his two houses. Soon after that the Rich mond line went through, and. a6 he was en titled to gas from that source, he had the line tapped for his use. After this he soli his well to the Hagerstown Gas Company, but retained the right to still use gas from the well. His pipes from the two lines were connected in a way that would permit gas to flow from his Richmond pipe Into his well and out again into his pipe that was connected with the Hagerstown line. This state of affairs was discovered by some linemen while making repairs. Anderson's Strike. Special to the Indianapolis Journal ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 10,-The difficulty at the National tin-plate mills In this city has not yet been, adjusted, although President Garland, of the National Amalgamated Association cf Iron and Steel Workers, has been here In conference with the union men and proprietor of the factory. The trouble first arose over the right of Manager Donner to appoint and promote men as he chose. Manager Donner said: "The works arc now union, and If the men choos-e to come back within a few days they may remain so. If, however, the hot mills remain, closed long the whole plant will be compelled to shut down. Then you have it on my authority that when they open It will be an 'open place.' We will pay the highest rrlces for skilled labor, and anybody, regardless of unions, will be able to get employment. Efficiency will be the only test." An earnest effort Is belnc made to get all the men to resume work to-morrow. Train Saved by n Small Floy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind.. Nov. 10. An unknown boy about ten years old prevented a Panhandle wreck yesterday morning. As the Kokomo and Anderson special. Will Spangler, conductor, and Bert Smyser at the throttle, approached Florida station,, a small lad was noticed signaling to the train and tugging at a tie lying across the track. Owing to . the cloudy weather and darkness the signal was not seen until within a few rods of the obstruction, but the engine was reversed and struck the tie at a slow speed and did not leave the track", jit was a mixed train that carried both frfclght and passengers. The boy said the tie was placed on the track by a tramp, who threatened to kill him If he warned the train or tried to remove the obstruction. The name of the heroic lad was not learned and the tramp has not been apprehended. Illovr at Lot Drawings. Special to the IndianapolIsJournal. ANDERSON, Ind.. Nov. 10. Judge W. S. Dlven, of the Superior Court of this city, rendered a decision yesterday In the Superior Court that strikes down a system much in vogue in all the gas belt cities In the selling of lots to locate factories. Quick & Co., of Frankton, In order to ralso a bonus to locate a steel factory In Frankton, sold three hundred lots and apportioned them by a drawing. J. H. Hockman purchased one, and when his notes fell due refused to pay them. Judge Dlven holds that the notes are not collectable. In a transfer of real estate he held that, to be good, it must be described by metes, and bounds. Hockman's contract called for a lot in Quick & Co.'s farm, but the farm was not located. The effect 6f the decision is already apparent In this city, a similar scheme having. been abandoned. Eloped tvlth a Widow. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WARSAW. Ind., Nov. 10.

THE CZARINA DYING
WIFE OP THE IUSSIAX E31PEnort IX A CRITICAL CONDITIO. Physicians Hare !Vo Hope of Her. Re covery from the Shock nnd Effect of the Caesnrlnn Operation. LONDON, Nov. 10. Trustworthy Informa tion has been received here that the Czarina has .submitted to the Caesarian operation. and that the consequences have been most deplorable. A consultation of physicians has been In progress nearly all day. To-night the men of science are no longer able to .conceal from the royal husband that he must be prepared for the most serious de velopments in the case. Indeed, it has been announced in official circles that there is no hope whatever of the Czarina's recovery. A letter from St. Petersburg dated Oct. 13 announced the Empress was in seclusion at Tarskoe Selo. The Czarina, named Alexandra Fcodorovna on her betrothal to Nicholas of Russia, Oct. 21-Nov. 2. 1SW. was born at Darm stadt, Princess Alix Victoria Helen Louise Beatrice of llesse-bel-Rheln June 6. 1!T2. The reigning Grand Duke of Hesse, Ernest Louis Karl Albert Wilhelm. born at Darmstadt in im, is her brother. Their parents were Louis IV and Alice, Princess of Great Britain and Ireland. Both are dead. Princess Alice was the most beloved of the daughters of Queen Victoria. Princess Alix met Nicholas at the wedding of her sister Elizabeth to the Grand Duke Serge In 18S4. Princess Alix was twelve years old and Nicholas sixteen. The children fell in love, but the Czar and the antiGerman faction at the court were opposed to an alliance which threatened the intruding of German influence into Russian diplomacy, and the Czarowltz's affection was diverted for some years. The death of the the Czar hastened the marriage, which skeptics said could never occur, because the court was opposed to It, because Princess Alix would not abjure her faith, and because a Russian crown was not a tempting promise to a German princess. Then Alix was In delicate health. The marriage took place Nov. 36, 1S94. Gossip has made little of Princess Allx's life since she married. In political circles it was rumored for a time that the Czar was under German Influence, the Kaiser having always had authority over Princess Alix, Later It was rumored the Czar was under ths influence of England, through friendship fcr the Duke of York, whom he resembles, and that this influence was not agreeable to Princess Alix. But the most plausible of all the rumors that connected the Czarina's name with affairs of state was the one provoked by M. De Blowltz's interview with Count Lobanoff printed in the London Times. Count Lobanoff said the Czar was too preoccupied by his wife's condition and too apprehensive about the birth of an heir, expected in a month, to think of war. Cable otes. The report of L'lntranslgeant to the effect that the French government is about to reopen the question of the Panama canal scandal, and that prominent members of Parliament were to be prosecuted on this account, is authoritatively denied. An accident yesterday to the Scotch express from London at Saint Neots, eight miles southwest of Huntington. ' on the Great Northern railway, caused by the breaking of a rail, resulted in the death of of a lady passenger. Five persons were also seriously Injured. CHICAGO CELESTIAL SHOT. Shot by a Father -Whose Dnngh te, the Chinese Tried-to Assault. CHICAGO. Nov. 10. Lin Dock Dunn, a Chinese laundryman on South Halstead street, was shot and killed this morning by the father of a young girl whom he had 'attempted to. assault. The Identity of the man who did the shooting is at present known, to no one outside his own family., except lawyer George A. Trude, whom he retained as his attorney. Mr. Trude notified Sergeant Broderick, of Central Station, this evening to call, his detectives off of th searvh for the murderer, and promised to produce the man who did the shooting at the coroner's Inquest to-morrow morning. The lawyer refused to give the name of his client and says that he is a thoroughly respectable man. It appears that the girl had been sent to the laundry to get some washing that had been left there. The Chinaman attempted to take liberties with the girl, who had a hard struggle to escape. She reported the matter to her father and the enraged man at once went to the laundry and snot the Celestial dead. A TIUXCB I'pll SALE. He la Pinlnar In a. Hoosier Town and II la Price Is f 2,000,000. Chicago Post. ' . Here's a chance for the girls, provided they don't all speak at once. Any giri who thinks it would be Just the thing to write xTincess Derore ner name can go so tor the asking. For a real, live prince of the bluest of blue blood, 'with a pedigree as long as Senator I'efiers whiskers and quite as venerable, Is Just dying to call some American damsel his ownest own if she will let him. Furthermore, the prince in question is not one of your common John princes fished out of a Venetian canal or dug up from the ditch or a crumbling castle on the Rhine. . He belongs to "the most illustrious family of French nobility." Just think of it! Maybe a lineal descendant of old Charlemagne himself, or at the very least a scion or the house or "Dunois the young and brave.' whose name and fame were sung In "Partantpour la Syrie" long before tho hecd of the ducal house of Marlborough set Parisian gamins singing .uaiorooic lias uone to the wars" to the tune of "We Won't Go Home Till Morn ing." as Trilby and Svengali afterward sang it. The directions for securing the crlnce In question are simplicity Itself. All that the aspiring American beauty has to do is to address lawyer Albert G. Warner, of New York city, telling with becoming maidenly modesty all the good things she can about herself, and Just how she would think it would be too cute for anything to be called princess uy ner scnooigiri mends and discarded suitors. It would materially enhance the chances of the aspiring young damsel if her father or uncle, or any other relative for that matter, would back her claim to rrlncesshin with a certified check 'for S2.000.000. For the scion of "the most illustrious lamily of the French nobility" says in his artless, Gallic way that la Jeune personne at whose feet he Is ready to cast nlmseli. title, pedigree and all. must have dot of at least this figure for him to pick up after ho has cast the aforesaid pedigree and things at her feet. -... Rut, not to prolong the suspense of the dear creatures who have read every word of the story from the headlines down, here is the letter written by the prince's best friend, his spiritual adviser, which tells us all about him: "Lccpold. Perry County. Ind. To Mons. Albert S. Warner. New York: Sir Hearing that you take charge of affairs of all kind?, I would like you to undertake to bring about a marriage in regard ' to which I beg to make the following proposition: "A young Frencn priiiec, a rnend of mine, desire.s to contract a marriage In Amerfea with a young person (Juene personne) who has at teast f2.000.000. Can you secure such an Individual for him? If you can you will be paid after the marriage the sum of $10,000 as commission, which will bs guaranteed to you. If you carry the matter through on or ucforo Dec. 1 you wdt receive aa extra compensation of $5,000, as the need is urgent. "The young prince in question belongs to the most illustiious family of the French nobility. His title dates back to the time of the crusades. He 's twenty-nine y a s of sge and a Catholic a very extreme Catholic, lie desires that the young person should also be a Catholic, but the religious question will not necessarily be an obstacle to an otherwise satisfactory marriasre. "If you will undertake this affair of the heart (affaire de coeun please let me hear from you at once. If, however, you cannot, will you kindly give me the address of some company which undertakes this class of business. J. BERGKH, "The Church of Leopold. Pastor."' This letter was written in French, but attorney Warner had a translation made for the benefit of $2.(0.0i) beauties. The writer is the Catholic priest of the village of Leopold, Ind., where the young prince has bloomed and blushed unseen these many summers. That such a touching proposal as this w ill cause a flutter of excitement In Uncle Sam's gilded dovecotes J only to be expected. And that th dear thing?, who may be tempted to skip at once to the end of this story to see how it all comes out, may be reassured. It is well to mention right here that nobody has yet secured the prize. The prince Is at this moment actually pining In the Indiana village for the fair maiden to approach, and with a $2,ooo.ou wand break the enchanted spell that binds the scion of the most illustrious noble family of France to the drudgery of village servitude. Whether the wicked witch who condemned the prince tohis life of misery Imposed tho further lealty of making his
prlncelets work for his living, possibly as a street-car driver, or maybe as a waiter In the village beerhouse, It matters not. The mission of the rescuing damsel will be all the more glorious if she finds her prince doing such menial work. When lawyer Warner got this letter he answered like a business-like liwyer always does, that he would see about.it. Finding by reference to the map of Indiana that the
village of Leopold was actually a fact, and that there were enough t ople there to warrant the supposition t'-iat at least one of them might be a prince In disguise, the shrewd lawyer took a sheet of blank foolscan paper and drew up a form of applica tion for maidens to fill out whose aspirations for princely titles would lead them to take so much trouble. The proofsheet or this form application has not got back from the printer's yet, so that it Is impossible to reproduce It here exactly, but any young woman who thinks she has a chance to pull off a prince can get a copy of the apprteation blank by writing to lawyer earner. It may perhaps be necessary to state in advance that there'is no requirement as to age in the document in question. Even the query "Have you. a past?" was crossed off at the suggestion of the printer's devil, who had observed from the gallery of a Bowery theater the night before how the suggestion of a past made such havoc between hearts that were Just getting ready to beat as one. Indeed, there Is very litle in the document that a girl's big brother, or her father, or her uncle, or for that matter any man who knows all about real estate and stocks and bonds and things couldn't fill up. Anyhow, the blank forms themselves will tell Just what is wanted, and the shortest way after all will be to write to the New York lawyer direct for a copy. Any girl, therefore, who wants to be a princess, and to have a husband In the bargain who will talk to her In broken English pnd who, when he gets cross, will never use bad words that the hired girl can understand, can enter the competition for his royal highness of Indiana. SAT0LLTS SUCCESSOR. Mgr. Lanrcnrelll, It Is Said, Will Be Sent to Washington. NEW YORK. Nov. 10. No U since the arrival of Mgr. Satolli himself have high official Catholic circles been so stirred as they are to-day at the receipt of a message from Rome Intimating that not only is Satolli to have a successor, but that the successor has already been appointed. For some reason or another efforts have been made to suppress the news of the rumored appointment, but the fact stands that a message has been received by a distinguished ecclesiastic here which says that Mgr. Laurenzelll, at present serving as Internuncio at the Hague, is to proceed to the United States shortly before Mgr. Satolli takes his leave of Washington. Laurenzelll Is said to have been harmoniously associated with Satolli in Rome for many years, and belongs to the same school of diplomats. BALTIMORE, Nov. 10. Cardinal Gibbons was asked this evening In regard to the report that Pope Leo had determined upon the recommendation of the Cardinal, to appoint Mgr. Laurenzllll, at present internuncio at The Hague, the successor of Satolli as ablegate, after the latter has been raised to the cardlnalate. The Cardinal said he knew nothing about the matter and that he had not recommended Mgr. Laurenrelll, of whose ability he spoke in the highest terms. I10EYMOOMG AT "IDLE HOUR." Duke and Dnchess of Marlborough Try Fresh Bine Points. Oakdale (L. I.) Special to New York Herald. The second day of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough's sojourn at, "Idle Hour" began rather inauspiciously with a drirzllng rainstorm, but cleared away about 10 o'clock, and the sun came out bright and warm. The opportunity for out-of-door recreation was taken advantage of to make a tour of the Vanderbilt estate and pay a formal visit to the head employes, all of whom live within the grounds. The Duchess acted as guide. She conducted her husband to the cottage of L L. Holliday, the general superintendent, who manages the large farm. . The dairy was next visited. The domain of P. J. Premm, the gardener, was reached shortly before noon, and here the Duke and Duchess lingered for more than an hour, wandering through the extensive greenhouses, among rare and fragrant flow ers. The orchids and ro3es were particularly admired. A drive and an Incidental visit to the oys--ter fisheries on Great South bay were the diversions of the afternoon. They started out at half-past 2 o'clock in a toplesa run about wagon, drawn by a handsome bay. norse. ine Duchess hanaied the reins. After a half hour's spin along the main road toward Islip, they returned, and passing Oakdale the Duchess turned down the long lane over the flat meadowland leading to the bay. It had begun to rain, and a thick bank was rapidly moving landward, but the un pleasant weather prospects had no terrors for the fair driver, who was bent on giving her noble consort a glimpse and taste of tne famous Blue Point on Its native heath. Straight down the white beach she drove. and halted before a cluster of low, brown shanties, the property of Jacob Ockers, who is known In this locality as the "oyster King." Several sloops were discharging their cargoes at a house float anchored off shore, while half a dozen more were lying to in the ornng waiting their turns. In the shanties gangs of robust, sun-browned men, clad in blue Jerseys and overalls. were busy sorting and preparing the oysters for shipment throughout the United States and across the ocean to the capitals of Eutqpe. The Duchess handed the reins to tire Duke, and stepping out of the car riage, approached one of the shanties and peeped in. it is three years since sue last, visited "Idle Hour," and the men did not recognize in ' the tall, handsome your.g woman the ppriehtlv. black-eyed girl .who often used to stroll along the shore and watch them at their work. "Is Mr. Biggs about?" she inquired. One of the men replied that he was. and went to find him. Mr. Biggs, one of the managers of the business, who has known the Duchess since she was a very little girl, was lying down In his office suffering with a headache. He did not feel like being disturbed, and, of course, had not seen the vipitors. so the man returned with tnis message: "Mr. Biggs wants to know what name, maamr "Miss VanderbUt," replied the Duchess in a low voice. : . "Miss Vanderbeck?" asked the man. who did not hear her distinctly. "No: Miss vanderbilt," was the response. It dawned on him that the tall j'oung woman might bo the Duchess, although she chose to use her maiden name, and he has tened to inform Mr. Biggs, who at once jumped up from his couch and hurried to pav his respects to his dist'nguished visitors. The Duchess then told Mr. Biggs that she would like to treat the Duke to an al freco lunch of oysters on the half shell. Mr. Biggs scurried around and Foon two men apoeared bringing some of the finest oysters In "a basket, which they deposited on the sand beside the carriage in which the Duke remained seated. Then dexterously flipping off one shell with their knives they handed the fresh bivalves alternately to the Duke and Duchess, who swallowed them in true plebeian fashion and with evident relish. There were no condiments of any kind, and the Duchess laughed merrily during the proceeding, the Duke apv&rently enjoying the fun as much as his Lridc. A good sized heap cf empty shells remained when they had finished, and bidding good-bve to Mr. Biggs, the Duchess climbed Into the carriage and they drove back thrcugh the fog to "Idle Hour." CIIAXDLKR OX 11 A YARD. The Ktubassador Scored for Speaklnc Afralnnt Protection. New York Recorder. Senator W. P. Chandler, who Is at the Fifth-avenue Hotel, had some pretty strong opinions to express yesterday on Embassador Bayard's speech against . protection. He said: "That speech was an outrage, and utterly unworthy of a representative of our Nation abroad. It was a downright partisan political speech. His course is without precedent, and it should not go unrebuked. By a subtle process he has managed to attack the party that is now sweeping the country, and I think it was atrocious in the extreme. If he had prefaced his address with the remark that he was a Democrat and that he intended to deliver a political speech it could hardly have been in worse taste. "He says that protection fosters corruption, creates inequality of fortune and blunts the public conscience. Now, that Is a direct attack upon the Republican party. Bayard's course since he ha3 been embassador to England has been un-American and deserving of condemnation. "I hear that he is going to reside permanently In England after he ceases to misrepresent this country. Well, he- has nothing to come back here for, because hls party is disintegrated, and even his own .State, Delaware, Is Republican. By an accident the State has a Democratic Governor, but otherwise it Is not Democratic. No wonder Bayard desires to remain in England. He sees th handwriting on the wall. The recent Republican victories throughout the United States have convinced him that the Bourbon Democracy Is fast losing power. Well he may view with alarm the waning power of the Democratic narty. I believe nearly every Southern Stata will so Republican next year."

AMERICAN VESSEL STOPPED AXD SEARCHED 1IV SPANIARDS. Complaint to Be 3Inde to the Authorities at Washington Hotr a Dcfent Was Reported hy Spanish Papers. NEW YORK. Nov. 10. The American brig Han let G. arrived at quarantine today from Nuevltas, Cuba. The Harriet G. is owned by Mos'.e Brothers, of this city, and trades regularly between New York and NuevitaK. She sailed from this port on Aug. 23 and reached Nuevltas on S-pt. 19, where she discharged her cargo. On Oct. 3 a Spanish officer with several soldiers boarded the brig and made a thorough search for a large quantity of arms which the Spanish officials had been informed was on board the vessel. The brig was ransacked from stem to stern, but no arms were found. The Spanish officer went so far as to demand that Captain Miller remove from below all his anchor chains. This the captain refused to do and the officers were reluctantly forced to leave the vessel. The United States consul was on board at the time, but could do nothing. Captain Miller will report the facts of the search of his vessel to the proper authorities at Washington. There was on board the Harriet G. a young Cuban passenger named Gustava Torre, who said that he was so persecuted by the Spanish authorities that ho was compelled to leave the lsiana and come to the united states. Prisoner Surrendered. TAMPA, Fia.. Nov. 10. Passengers arriving from Cuba to-night say Colonel Rego, In an engagement eight days ago mar Cumanaygua, Clenfuegos, captured sixteen prisoners. Rego notified the . Spanish authorities to send for them. The authorities dispatched a committee consisting of Col. Valle, Captain Rios, two lieutenants, a doctor and a priest, who received the prisoners from Rego and gave him a formal receipt for them. Radical Spaniards . are greatly displeased with Valle for treating with the insurgents and practically recognizing them as belligerents. They would rather see the prisoners die. The forces of Colonel Molina had an engagement with Locretl's insurgent forces in Las Villas Thursday. A passenger stated that the Spaniards who were In the engagement told him Molina and 10 Spaniards were killed, but that censored papers the next morning announced that but one officer and seven soldiers had been killed. Expects to Lend an Expedition. NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Mr. C. G. Yeley. a Cuban who has been in Spain on a mission In the interest of the Insurgent cause, arrived in New York to-day on the steamer Veendam. He E3n. that he expects to lead an expedition to Cuba In the near future. His father, he said, is in Farls, where he is doing good work In the cause of Cuban independence. Mr. Veley gave it as his opinion that it is now too late for the Spanish government to offer concessions to the struggling Cubans, as the insurgents are In good condition and expect to soon see the consummation of their hopes in a Cuban republic. - Believe Cuba Should Be Free. BOSTON, Nov. lO.-The following resolution was passed to-day at a patriotic mass meeting in the People's Temple: "Resclved. That we, as citizens of Boston and New England, unite in asking President Grover Cleveland to do for Cuba all things In his power by granting belligerent rights, it is our faith that Cuba should be free. "Resolved, That our sympathies go forth to the patriots of that island." 31AHEK AND O'DONNELL. Their "ltoxtnj? Contest to Take PInce at New York To-Ntght. NEW YORK, Nov. 10. To-morrow night at the arena of the Empire Athletic Club, the much-talked of meeting between Peter Maher and Steve O'Donnell will take place. This contest has excited general interest throughout the country and nearly every snortine: man of prominence has come to New York to witness the battle. Maher and O'Donnell should and probably will put up a hotly contested and close fight, the men being equally matched and both in splendid condition. They are regarded by good experts as two of the best heavy weights now before the public, being classed as second only to the retired champion. A large contingent, including Corbett and his coterie of trainers, are firm believers In O'Donnell's ability to get a decision over the Irish champion, yet, in spite of the talents' opinion, the general public and followers of pugilistic events pin their faith to Maher, and he is a slight lavorite In the betting. In tne twenty-five rounds that the men are scheduled to box many believe the victory will be had by one of the contestants. It's not likely to be a draw, for tho fighting will be fast and hard from the start, and of such a kind as to .make a decislie results certain. O'Donnell has been quietly tipped as a great ly improved man. A claim Is made that he Is but a shade less clever than Corbett, and a good, stiff puncher. Peter's admirers say that he will be doing some terrific swinging all the tfme, and a good land with his right will more than offset a half dozen Jabs of O'Donnell. There is' no denying the fact that Maher is a wonderfully improved man. One of the best Judges In New York said that Maher has improved more than any fighter he had ever seen in the same length of time. Maher, he thought, would be In the .nature of a surErise, notwithstanding the talk that has een made as to his ability, and he looked to see him settle his opponent long before twenty-live rounds had been fought. LOVKJOVS PRESS. Relic of the Fiery Old Abolitionist Found nt Alton. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. , Fragments of the old Lovejoy press, which was broken up and thrown Into tho river on the night of Lovejoy's assassination. Nov. 7. 1S57. by an armed mob, have been found beneath a large pile of cinders and debris. Just back of Sparks, In Alton mill. At the time of the terrible tragedy the river bed was nearer the bluffs at this point than at the present time, and the old Godfrey & Gllman warehouse, in which the press was located, stood where the mill stands now. For sixty years this point on the river bank has been used as a kind of r. dumping ground for cinders, rocks and refuse, until at the present time the bank extends about sixty feet further out Into the river. Steps will be taken by the Lovejoy Association to recover all the old pieces of machinery. . The press was that on which Lovejoy printed his famous antl-siavery paper, the Observer. Lovejoy's extreme views and their advocacy had made life In St. Louts so unpleasant for him that he removed hence to Alton In 1837. He continued the publication of his paper there. On the night of Aug. 21. 1837. a mob broke Into his office and destroyed all his printing material, throwing the press into the Mississippi river. Three or four other presses were successively procured, and each met the Fame fate as the first Finally, on Nov. 7, Lovejoy concluded to make a stand and protect his property at the risk of his life against tho mob's violence. A volunteer guard of twenty men remained In the building to help Lovejoy In his defence. The first attack of the mob was made at the north end of the warehouse by an attempt to batter down the door, preceded by a shower of stone Interspersed with more deadly missiles from gun and pistol. The guard from the Inside of the building replied to the mob's attack with a single fire, which killed one of the mob named Bishop. This scattered the assailants temporally, but they soon returned with reinforcements and the assault was renewed with redoubled energy. There was firing now on both sides, but nobody was hurt thereby. A ladder was raised ou the east side of the building and a man was sent up with materials to lire the roof. Knowing this. Captain Long, who had command of the little company of defenders, called for volunteers to go out aud dislodge tho incendiary. lovejoy was one of three who promptly responded and stepped from a lower door upon the levee, leading the way for his companions. The trln fired at the man upon the ladder, but ml5sed him. In an instant their fire was returned by two or three men concealed behind a pile of lumber near them. Lovrjcy received five bullets in his body, while his companions. Itoff and Weller, were only slightly wounded. He turned, ran past his companions, through the door, up the short flight of stairs Into the counting room and. exclaiming "My God! I'm rhot!" was caught In the arms of some one who rushed to his a'.d. laid upon the tloor. and died without a struggle or uttering another word. The mob then overran the building and destroyed all the printing material. Including the press.
