THE MISSING PACKAGE,

Vtstertlaj Iiroujrht No Tiding of the Manager Henderson Sweara Out a Warrant and Clerk O'flara Is Arrestee!, The mystery anrroan'l'ng the disappearance of a paci:a containing $3,800, cduO'.gnei t3 the Ada;ns Kx preis Company, of thli city, by ths Merchants' National liirt. on TaejJ.iy evening, remains ucsolved, but rauch that vrai mere rumor, immediately after the losa wa.3 discovered, is now definitely known;to ba a list. The pacfcae wa3 duly received and receipted for by the Adams on Tuesday afternoon, and .it C o'clock it was given to John O'Hara, night clerk, who started to tag dspot ivith it and other packages containing cmey. At 10 o'clock he reported to the ca?hisr that the r.ackajre was mis3lns, ad said that it bad either been loat oa the way to the depot or had baeu mixed up with other 8hipment3, and ent out in that way. He expressed the belief that it would turn up at some point to which other packages were destined, and the company's officers appeared to pUca tone confidence in this theory also, ai they ezrresseda like hope. As reported yesterlv, Larry Ilazen was called into the cs aiil O'Hara wai placed under surveillance at the Denison. Here he remained from Thursday evening till yesterday after noon when he was arretted on a warrant sworn out by Manager Henderson, charging him with grand larceny. Saperintenient Lan 6erved the warrant at 3:30. O'ilara made r.o comment during the reaiing of the the warrant, for it appears that he rd beec expecting something of this kind. He was lockedj up at the Central Station, where he conversed freely with a Sentinel representative last evening. "This is not a ery pleasant situation," said O'Hara, with a smile on his face as h9 peered through the bars at the reporter, 'bat I guess I'll hare to stay here until something turns up to show that I am not guilty of the crime with which I am accused." "Do yoa think that you will yet' be able to prove your innocence?' "Meat asiuredly I do. I bslieve that it will be found that this package became mixed with some of the others and was sent over a rnn for which it wa3 not intendod. I remember distinctly of having handled this package, which I placed in th3 sate with others. Ti e safe was then placed ia the wagon and remorad to the Union Depot. Oa our ariivtti at the depot I bean to make up the rues, receiving assdstac from no one, although there was -another employe in the See who w3 otherwise r gaged. I made up the Cincinnati innnrstand St. Louis next, after which I I repared La Chicago packaee. I then prtaed a package for the Ihstern express which haes st I a. m., and it was then that I dift-overed that tb package cuntiining h3,$oo W33 moving. I ara perfectly satiated tl i I sent it on the wroag train, aud that it be found in a day or two." O'Hara, who is about twenty-three years oi ee, licks like a boy of eighteen, rd rxiaJa hi3 eiateoieut in a very f straightforward manner. He do?3 not frer the outcome, aud says it is hardly probVde that the court will convict aa innocent man. He is said to ba a young man of temperate habits, attentive to business at ail times, and has been in the employ of the pxpiees company for nearly three years. He r rs a widowed mother re?iding in Flora, III., whem he would have viiiUd this week had it not been fur the pressure of business. He expresae the hope that the sewFt'Sters will not deal hnnbly with - him until the matter is finally settled. Detective Hazen, who was with O'Hara at the Denison for two days, did not aopear to have any settled theory with regard to the rnbsing morjey. He said to a re Dorter yesterday mornintr: 'There is no daubt that the package left the uptown office in good ahape. If it was stolen or lojt, it occurred at tne depot cilice. No outside parties are suspected or concerned, and thsre is no occasion to call upon the police, as has been suggested; for the entire affair hai transpired among the Adams people only. "i7e bpe to hear favorable new3 this evening concerning the misjing rxoney, but if we do not I can't say whit will b9 done." At 3:43 o'clock Hazen left for Cincinnati, O'Hara Laving been placed underanesta quarter of an hour before. Whether there were any developments and the detective had reason to suspect O'Hara. other than that possessed when he expressed the Lot that tho evening would bring news of the missing package, ei n not be a'ated. but the moro probable theory is that : O'Hara's arrest was determined on from the tr?t and that he consented to detective surre jEanc for two days rather thin to be locked np.

THE S0UT1IEUN PKISOX

Kcport Filed With the doTcrnor Tcsterdaj. A Good Showing by the OSoera, but the Institution la Not Solff3upportlnsr. The report of the State Trison South was f.ltd at a late hour last night with the Governor. The directors report thst nothing has occurred since their kst report to afTect the good condition of the prisoners, and that the excellent discipline of the l&3i two years ia still continued. In this connection it is stated that the cat or lash has not been used during the past year. The registers show that the good-time law and the merit cards are doing cood work in the way of securing tetter conduct. The moral instructor reports a healthy moral feeling among many of the prisoners. The library contains aoout 1 500 volumes, but a large number are in a bad condition, and thculd be replaced by new ones. For this purpose the board appropriated 200 out of the library fund. The chapel is large and well ligated, but is not completed, and in very cold weather can not be heated. It should be plattered and made uttractive'aa a piece of worship. The banitary condition is good, but can be rrade letter by the addition o! certain improvements. The trip hammer and the blacfe&mith ehops ere in a dilapidated condition, and being near the hospital, are very annoying to tho patients, not only ou account of the noise but from the fumes of escaping gsses. The health cf the prisoners den ands their removal to tome other quarter of the building. The income from prison labor is not sufficient to meet the expenses of the prison, atd yet iLe economy of the institution is clfarly shown by the reports of tho Warden's and Clerk's statements. This is at least partly dee to the fact that the prison buildings are not suitable for prison manafacturing. They are old and dilapidated, some of them having been built fifty years ago. It states that the burial ground of the prison is not owned by the State, and its use may be prohibited at anytime. Since the last report contracts with two firms employing 175 convicts Lave expired, but the men were re-let to other contractors at ninch better figures, on condition that a boot and hoe factory be put up by the Slate. The block occupied by the saddle-tree and cooper tJbops wa?r at r consideraMa expense, fitted up for the purpose, liut the report queries whether the etlort to make the pxison telf sustaining nty net be carried beyond what id deemed the true purposes of tte institution. The directors recommend the building of a new tewer, the old one now allecting a number of property holders so that complaints are being made. They a!rj say that solitary con iin anient, as a means of re pmsicn, is gaining favor, and that ias-iue convicts should have separate quarters For thee IhtDgj the State has no provision. It is recommended that the firai ed Ferin, Gall" Co. be paid ;0,92t C3, which they expended in the -rection of buildings for the uurpoa cf carrying on their contract work, when the State lost two buildings by fire. The WßJvlen recoua mend? that the goodtime law be amended so as to alio the Warden or Directors to rsstoro lost time to prisoners for fco.id reasji s, and give prisoners the benefits arising from tue humane provinces of tho law. The board fceta apart a certsin time when the members go through the prison and alloiv the inmates to apea to tLeru on all subjects of complaint, and if the ccmclaints are pood, the remedies are applied. To this they attribute largely the geed discipline cf tho past year. The Warden reports: No of prisoner- 5y) Incrtate in ten years Ill liscl aiptd (b:2 Sö) by expiration ot tine 5,011 Pardoned.... 1.1C2 Idcd 420 Mandate of tourt LSJ Sent to IIoubo of Kefu&e V Sent to other prisons 407 fccaped m 1 Total 7,6Ji Death rate 4.S.

The brilliant "Meteors" of the Evans & Hcey Combination tgain Hooded the Grand Opera House with-a prodigality of fun and merriment, that convulsed the large audience with continuous and hilarious laughter last night.

Many ThutHnnd Oat of Work The llnsl cess I3epretHion of the 1'eriod Not Con. lined to Aur Particular Section Ispectatlou of n Speedy Improvement. (New York Special to the Chicago Daily Njffs.l The World will to-morrow print the following fctalistics on unemployed labor: "The cirsingof milis and foundries through out the New England and Middle States his caused an influx of workin?men here, and it is estimated that nearly tio.oco laboran, artisars and clerks ara no?? iddle or ha ze only temporary employment. Men from ether Slates lave come here In search of crk, and not finding it in the particular trade they ere skilled in, they have taken up with car.jQosiing aoei likfl employment. Inquiries by Urad.-treet's agency among tne manufacturers of New York show that the actual number of mn discharged during the fall and winter is 05 0O., which does rot include clerks or salesmen. The clajsification is ns f olio ws: Clothingmakers, ii'U.OOO out of work; building tra ies, 12,000: tobacco and cigar-ma'sers. 11,000; fnrnishing goods, artiticial llowers. etc., ."00; Loot and fhoe operatives, 3,300; Iron end machinery. - iOO; musical initrnrnsntj, 1,000; bread and confectionery, ?'), and publishers and printers, 1,0 0 in all rl 9), or. including discharged clerks in all lines, at least 00,00-) less employed this year than last. Many manufacturers report one-third less working forco this year than in 183.- The proportion idle is, however, only 'JO per cent, of the industrial population of the city, and operatives claim that the feeling among workingmen is hopeful. Even the idle ar8 not so depponJent as might be supposed. The buoyarcy amocg them is illustrated by thair generosity, cne of the largpst unions of this city, which recently voted ?100 for the Hocking Valley sufferers, having been obliged to borrow the money of its President If there were any fears that tho new year would briEg worse times, i: is doubtful if the unions with depleted treasuries would venture to borrow fcr ethers. The bricklayers, who were on strike most of the year, were generously aided by their co-wcrkers in the bujldiug trade, &uch ai carpt-cters, plasterers, etc., and many went to otter places. This gave employment to brici layers from the country, so no great distress was noticeable in this line. Ac'.iva building operations ceased in November, and the work left to be done is only suüicicnt to employ three fourths of tho building trado workers. As it is usual for this dsprcsscn to occur at this time, most of ths nnicr.s and their members were prapared for it. That the idleness of emplojej is more arrarent than real 13 farther evidenced In tte et se cf f:rS!2 operatives, who, losing their positions in factories, have found employment as domestics. In many establishments the hours of worn have been reduced instead cf culling o'f the number of employes, a number of factories running only halt or three-quarters time. In ether industries a reduciion of wages aveming perhaps 1" per cent, has proviacd for the employment ot the full number naud.7, so that suffering has been prevented, though the strictest economy was necessary to make both ends meet. A glance over the Nothern States shows that T-e depression is not pecui.'ar to Nsw York City or State. Manufacture everywhere were experiencing boom until about 12, as f-bown by the census leturns, wbich report 1.0i0indnstrial operatives in J s A while in 170 tba number' had increased 7( 0,0(0. and in 1KS0 F33 2 Stf 000 in North Atlantic and North Centra: ,S:aes. Tae total unrater in 1"2 had :ncre,3S"?J l' P?I. cent, ince there has tr-n fal.k of 31C.2 ID employe?, but this is not coin l ered alarming Wnen the extent of counh v covered is considered, together with tue depression in trade. It is only 13 per cent, of the totf.l number at work in 1H2. It is estimated that 18,000 operatives and laborers went out on ftrifces, which reduces the number of alleged idle men to less than r00,000 throuchout the whole North. This, however, doe? not represent the number actually idle, hut only the dtciioe in the number cmplojed. They have undoubtedly found otter vrcik In many thousands of ea?s. It is noteworthy lhat all the best factories and mills are running, and that reports indicate that such as have been closed for a fe mentis will fon Et&rt again. Is Gjllaglier u ltpubllcau? Chicago Tines. The question whether or not W. J. Gallaeher if still in the employ of the United States Secret Service is causing much nnreat to the1 persons engaged in ascertaining the eame. Yet a more important pha?e or parcel cf the question is whether he was working for the Government, or, rather, the Republican party, at the time of the alleced frauds in the Sixth Senatorial District, If his connection extended through that particular period, and it should be proven that he had a hand in the outrage, it would be an easy task to form the reasonable deduction that the miscarried a windle was the

work of Republicans. A number of persons relate incidents which go to show that Gallagher is now or was up to a few weeks since, associated with the Govern trent's secret fervice. Mr. Moonev, of the private detective firm of Mooney Sc Poland, stated a few days ago, while in consultation with several persons in the employ of the city, that he had compared Gallagher's writing on Government and city pay rolls and had found the tignatures identical, which demonstrated that the man had certainly been emploved by the Government and had drawn pay from it. It was learned also that Gallagher had been originally placed on the pay roll of the service to farther ths Congressional aspiration of Congressman Davis, c f the West Side. Hi? name do?s not appear on the sheets after Davi3' failure to secure a regular nomination, but it is extremely probable tbt he was continued in tte employ of lh Government, his name being transferred to vhat is known as tte "fraud" or privale roll of the eeivlre. During the investigation cf. the State ?natorial frauds by the Federal GraidJury, Gallagher was a frequent and voluntary visitor to the jury room, and to ths room? of the teeret eeryice, his presence there hiving been observed by several detectives who were in the employ of private parlie?. It i argued that if he had been friendiy toward the Democracy Ins visits to these places, a3 they were wholly voluntary, would have been ant of place aud in bad taste. It is sta cd that Gallagher's real purpose in roing to Cincinnati was not to help the Democrats, but to aid the Republicans, and that lie went there in the capacity of a full-Hedged United States Deputy Marshals. A member of the Police Department who was present in Cincinnati during the October election declares that Gallagher, while at tho Ohio metropolis, found congenial asscciatesiu the Deputy United S ates Marshals there and that he was one of them during his sojourn. The pime gentleman stated that the very marshals who were Gallagher's Cincinnati chums informed him privately that they had warrants from Philadelphia for GaUasher'a arrest for f jrgery. When asked why they elelaved serving them they fmiled and faid they were only awaitirg a favorable opportunity to pouncs upon him. Of course, he was not apprehended, and it i3 alleged that the very persons who claimed to Lave warrants for his arrest escorted him to the depot and eaw him oil for Chicago. Another circumstance which mutes it appear thet Gallagher was perhaps friendly toward Republican interests is the showing on his election return from the Twelfth Ward, wherein Harrison and Cleveland ran several hundred behind the IKMiwcratic county candidates. It is reasoned that either the county candidates were wcrked up or Harrison and Cleveland were worked down. About two weeks after Gallagher's return from Cincinnati be and an erqnaintance were enjoying a glass of hot stuff in a certain eilocn, vi neu per c:ianci tna acquaintance espied a Deputy United States Marshal's star on GaUaghrr's vest front. He inquisitively pmbed Gallazher's cat collar ?.sü:e and took a second glacee at the ttar, when Gallagher, with a nervotiS movement, pulled his coat away id buttoned it. On being asked what it meant that be should be wearing tho star, he is alleged to Lave hammered out: Oh, hem, hem.cb! tho ftr.r belongs tr a Cincinnati friend of mine." He was thereupon askei why he had not returned it bef ore, and f rand an answer in the reoiark that hehalforcottf n all about It, but woild S2ud it ba:k in a few dajs. Gal. agher has been sevenl tiraea chared by prominent Daniocrat with being ii tho fiii ploy of the United States .-icret öarvice, tut it invariably found a denial. Another circurct-tanca which makes it appear that he itamls in with the Government is the fict that he recently formed an enmity against certain city officers, and, tj obtain hostile evidence against the person's dabious war record, be procured fro'ai the Wer Department the desired full evidence within the rcflnelcusly short period of a little les thin three davs. The lima required for him to obtain all the data was much shorter than anyone could procure it in unless he is a ixember of the Secret Servic?.

Michigan City Dispatch: A professor of Arn Arbor, Mich., is reported as saying that the Indiana Echool system Is ten years in advance of that ef Michigan. fc'Gch a statement coming from a Michigan teacher will generally be received with surprise, but he tells tte truth, nevertheless. The idea has teen prevalent both in Michigan and outside tte State teat there were no tchools so good as the Michigan schcol. Bat the thcusutful teacher who ha3 examined into the workings of the echcoTs cf both S'ates must concede that Michigan schools, excepting her university, sr ten years behind those of Indiana, and so far a3 th3 university i3. concerned, our State probably has enough of item.
