1 CliairQian of t"ie tireenback-LaYer Ffc.rty KVgnUi Chairmanship and Detares th lintler Mvenint h Fraud, Detlgned Defeat CI nil aod Elect Elaine. p ial to the sentinel. .'Ai.kasy, X. Y., Sept. 2. It is reported ib at Mr. George O. Jones has rerlgned from t'he chairmanship of the State Committee of. 'the GreenVaA-Labor party, at it3 meeting held in this city last Saturday, because he is convinced that the pretense to build up a perman2ri "people's party" is a fraud; that the sole object of the work now being done is to mislead the honest Greenback's, anti-monopolirt workingmen and the drFscted Democrats Into a trap to defeat Mr. Cleveland and give the State to Elaine at the comiDg election, and thereby perpetnate e party in power which has brought down the price of labor lower than ever before anown in this country. After this, tbe elements in accomplishing these ends are to be turned over into the Democratic party ander a leader who hopes hereafter to control its nominations. Mr. Jones declares that if this coarse is permitted to go on it will min and destroy the Greenback party, because ita leaders will show themselvesto be too unsophisticated to understand or too easily bought up to withstand the deep laid plans of the scheming men and the great monied interest which they mnst resist if their principles are ever to l.e carried out. Mr. Jones was called oa t bis hoase to-day. lie declined to be inurviewed, bat said he would go to New York tright to prepare a genuine Greenback bulletin to those with whom he was long oilicwlly associated, as hundreds of them had already written to him, complaining that no such literature has yet reached them from any headquarters during this campaign. The defection of Mr. Jones and his following leaves the Datier i tea without an organization in any of the rural counties of New York State. CLEARANCES.

James Linsey, colored, was arrested in Greensbnrg last night and lodged in jail here bn a charge of burglary. A few weeks ago some one, during the niht, entered the large dry foods store of Reeve A: Cart, ot this city, and carried ofa lot of Bilks and other dress goods. In a short time the wife of Linsey had some of the silk made into a new dress by a fashionable dressmaker of this city, and the novelty of the attire attracted considerable attention. Messrs. Ileeve it Bart recognized the goods, and learned that Linsey had gane to Greenslurg to preach at the camp meeting, whereupon Marshal Vance proceeded to Creensbnrg with above results. Linsey says the goods were given him by a stranger, but the antiquity of this story makes comment unnecessary. It looks a little bad for him at present . Tbe Republicans will probably lose his vote, and the Elaine and Logan Club has lost a valuable member, who, we are informed, occupied the position of Caplain. Linsey is only a local preacher, but he makes a good Chaplain for the Blaine and Loan Club. Partisan PostofHce Picture Cleveland and Hendricks Club Meeting. Epecial to the Sentinel. Noeth Ynxoj, Ind., .Sept. 22. The PostofHce at this place is used as a rendezvous for political purposes by the g. o. p, The Postmaster, being a clever artist, keeps conspicuously displayed a blackboard embellished with political cartoons of Butler and the Dem ocratic party, thereby Hinging in the faces of those who belong to these parties an insult. If poetoöices are to be conducted on this plan, it is time that something oe done. Democrats and Greenbackers have the same privileges at a postoSIce that the Republican party has. The g. o. p., not having the moral courage to meet their opponents face to face, embellish a board with their ideas of the campaign, and then skulk behind the board for protection. Hon. Webster Dixon, of IColumbus, Ind., made a rattling speech to the Cleveland and Hendricks Club at this place Saturday night. The hall was crowded. Mr. Dixon is a tine orator. He completely demolished the .Republican platform, and showed up .Blaine's "Mulligan record." The club is in good trim, and getting accessions at every neeting. HON. T. A. HENDRICKS. Be Attend the Pair at Peoria, 111., and Addresses the People. Tsotiia, 111., Sept. 17. Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks arrived here at noon to-day, having been detained several hoars by aa Accident near Farmer City. This afternoon he nade r brief addre&s at the fair grounds, o this evening he and Carter Harrison spoke at the Wigwam. There wae a street parade, participated in by 80 Iben. Mr. Hendricks, on being introduced. a greeted with applause. He commenced by peakin of the date choaen, and bow it happened to be the ninetyseventh annniversary of the adoption cf the Constitution of the United ßtatea. He thought they were appropriately celebrating the occasion. He epoke of this glorious Nation and the right and power of Congress to levy and collect taxes for the administration of the Government. They should levy only so much as was required to right eously administer affairs. lie then asserted that there should be a change in the administration be causa the Republicans had had it for twenty-five years, and that was long enough. He next took up the subject of the surplus In the Treasury, and lold how President Arthur and Sec

GEORGE O. JONES,

retary FoTger had both recommend its redaction, and despite Republican Congresses there had been scarcely any reduction. He considered $100,000.090 too large a turn to be collected annually above necessary expenses. He spoke of the reforms proposed by the Lemocracy, and read extracts on these points from their platform, A reduction of the surplus must be made. Taxes must be collected for public purposes only, and a reduction of the tari.1 must also be made. The highest tax must be placed on luxuries and the lowest on necessaries. He said the Democrats would like to see the books. He then referred to the alleged breech between the Republicans and Germans, and affirmed it to be on account of the former's position on prohibition. They expected to make np with the Irish what they lost in the Germans, but they would not. Tbe former were ready to trust the Democrats for another term. It is said Blaine would make a dashing President. I don't think he will, but I think Cleveland will dash wherever the law and the Constitution calls him. HENRY M. STANLEY

Delivers An Address Ipou the Congo Country. Losros, Sept. IS Henry M. Stanley, the African explyrer, delivered an address today before a large meeting of influential citizens at Canal Street Hotel, upon the Congo country, its history, developmeat and commercial prospects and progress. The address was received with prolonged applause. Staniey said in 1S72 he wrote a letter from Fleet street to a friend at Banano, a point on the Congo, pointing out to him the ways in which he (Stanley) proposed to open np the Congo country to the world. In 1S74 and 1S70 be explored a broad natural highway from the west ccast of Africa. He found a race of natives who were willing to trade with merchants who dealt fairly on a bases of blood and brotherhood. "When he returned to Europe he found several schemes under consideration for ex ploring the district, of w hich that of the African Association proved to bn the most useful. Stanley Pool was gained bv treaties made with the natives, who ceded to the African Association the sovereignty of the land, and the association thereupon entered upon its peaceful possession. After entering into possession the association invited the nations of the world to come and trade, irrespective of all nationalities. Applause. Oa returning to Stanley Falls he (Stanley) found an Anglo-Portugaese treaty had been concluded, and the Portugues said, "No, we will not allow thin. We founded Congo, and to maintain our superiority, we must obtain a lien apon all goods imported from Manchester." The poods, said Stanley, were beads, wire, etc. To thi3 the association replied they had spent nearly half a million poundi in sterling upon the basin of the Congo and wished to extend further their communication along the basin. Whatever concessions privileges or immunity the association posesses they wished to give away for the benelit of bona fide travelers. The missionaries and agriculturists of the association demand of Portuguese that he (Stanley) be allowed to travel from England to Stanley Falls without any further trouble or expense than the regular passage money. The association also protested against the rijrht of the Portuguese tax. Portuguese tax them for giving away money freely to the philantrophic work. Stanley, continuing, sketched the history of the Congo River from the discovery of its mouth by the Portueuese navigator, Diego Camfour, 100 years ago, to the time of the expulsion of the Portuguese by tli9 natives in 1C0. In 18i;3 Lieutenant Grandy, of tbe Livingston Search Expedition, passed through San Salvador, at the mouth of the Congo River. Five years later Stanley started, and he had himself arrived there. The Protestant missions afterward formed an English Faptist Society and succeeded in establishiag a mission near the rains of the old Catholic Mission House. There was no historical evidence on the banks of the Congo River to prove the Portuguese ever possessed any political establishment there whatever. Stanley t aid further, that there is not one single proof that the Portuguese ever erected any fort, government building or oüicc upon the Congo River. Dutch, English and French merchants made that river a commercial mart. THE MOKOSINI ELOPEMENT. Sad Result of the Escapade of Miss Moroslni. New Yor.K, Si-pt 20. A chapter of a decidedly sensational character was yesterday added to the Morosini elopement matter, and one which gives the romance something of a tragic tinge. Considerable cossip and speculation has been indulged in as to the disappearance ot the family from YonVers, but nothing definite was known until it was learned yesterday that on Tuesday laU Mrs. Morosini. mother ot Victoria, the coachman's bride, sailed for .Europe. Coupled with this bit of information the story has leaked out and become an open secret that on the night following tbe elopement a physician was hurriedly summoned to the Morosini mansion to attend the old lady, and found her suffering from a dose of laudanum. It was a close call, but the physician's skill finally triumphed and she wss saved from death. She vii carefully watched, but the watchers were not vigilant enough to prevent her taking the drug on two subsequent occasions, in both of which instances, like the first, she was dragged back, from the very brink of the grave. Bince the romantic marriage of Victoria the mother has beea much distressed, sad at times acted in a very neculiar manner. She has had constant susrd over her day and nlzht. as it was feared she might do herself violence, lier present mental state and the situation in which the family is now placed induced the husband to make np his mind to send the remainder of his family on a tour to Knrope, and they left on Tuesday, as stated above. This was dou6 to remove her from the excitiD g surroundings and get her away from the old home. Mrs. Scbelling says that if her father does not relent within a week she will accept the offer made her by Poole & Gil more, lessees of Niblo's (arden, to sing in ooaoert for twenty nicht at 5500 per night. She declares she will not abandon her husband under any circumstances. It is be lieved Mrs. Schilling's intention of going upon the stage is induced by her realization of her husband's inability to support her. Scheiling drew fcTOO frem bank yesterday, all the money he has, and with tail sum the couple have commenced housekeeping for tbe winter in a Hat In West Twelfth stree. DESPERATE FIGHTING. Kingpal Pass Attacked by the French Chinese Defeated With Great Loss. Loa ioif, Sept. 17. A dispatch jnet received from Foo dow says that the French fleet suddenly appeared at the mouth of the River Min this morning, landed 2, (WO marines, who proceeded to demolish the fortifications at Klnzpai Pass, which had been repaired since the recent bombardment. The landing party attacked the Chinese camp. After deeperate fighting the Chinese were defeated with great loss. The French were largely outnumbered, bat shells from the ships did' such execution that the Chinese abandoned the earthworks and fled. It ia ex pect d that the French will follow up the victory and rid the river of the Chinese. Foo Chow, Sept. 17. The Chinese have stopped the supplies of coal for the British gunboat Merton, stationed at Sharp's Peak, where the cable lands.

EAETIIQUAKE.

Various Parts of the Country Are Visited by an Earthquake, TYhuh Shock Up Things Prettj LItcIj, Causing- Mnch Alarm Among the Citizens. Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Cd lumbus and Various Minor Towns Experience Shocks. EARTHQUAKE. Several Sections of the Country "Shook Up" by an Earthquake. At Knightstown. Speeial to the EeatineL Kxujhtstows, Ind., Sept. 1!). A well defined shock of earthquake was experienced in this city and vicinity at 2:13 o'clock this afternoon. The shock, though light, was sufficiently pronounced to cause people to leave their place of abode and seek safety in the streets. Buildings were preceptibly rocked, and there was a general rattling of chandeliers, glass and china-ware. The movements lasted but a few seconds, and seemed to te from east or southeast toward the west. At Richmond, Indiana. Special to the Sentinel. Richmond, Ind., Sept. 1'). Juita a perceptible shock of earthquake passed over this city this afternoon about 2:0 o'clock, which was felt over the entire city. Many were startled at the trembling and rocking of the business blocks, but it lasted fdr a few seconds only, when the inhabitants quieted down. At Winchester, Indiana. Special to the Sentinel. "Wischestek, Ind., Sept. 1!. The shock of an earthquake was felt here at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. "Windows and residences were badly shaken up. At Cincinnati. To the Associated Press. Cixcixsati, Sept. 19. A few minutes before 3 o'clock this afternoon a telegraph operator at the Bee Line depot in Cincinnati received dispatches from operators all along that railroad from Cincinnati to Lafayette, Ind., inquiring if an earthquake shock had been felt in Cincinnati, and stating that it had been perceptible at the onicefrom which tbe inquiries were sent. About 3 o'clock, Cincinnati time, the operator perceived a slight tremor in the building. The same thing was noticed in various oflices in the city, bat it was not attributed to an earthquake until the telegraphic dispatches from the West came in. It was quite different in some of the suburbs of the city. In Clifton the agitation was so violent as to ring bells to tables, and in some instances on the doors. In Cumminsville, a northern ward of Cincinnati, the tremor was felt so distinctly as to cause quite an alarm, not only in the public schools, where papils were with dilliculty kept in their seats, but at diil'erent hoaBes. In the Morn in e; to a school house, in the northeastern part of the city, an agitation was felt which was recognized at once by the teachers as that of an earthquake. Here, too, it required all the authority of the teachers to avoid a panic. The shock was so slight in the business portion of Cincinnati as not to be noticed by a majority of the citizens. In Covington, Ky., Mr. "Worthington's residence, on Fourth street, was so violently ehaken that his little daughter, lying sick in bed, screamed with terror, saying some one wa moving the.bed. The Assistant Observer at the United States Signal Station was reading the thermometer for several minutes between 2:30 and 3 o'clock, and tays he noticed no agitation of tbe merenry or of the building at that or any other time daring the afternoon. The time of the earthquake, as reported by those who noticed it, varies from 2:30 to a few minutes past 3, and a duration of the shock from ten to twenty seconds. Messages from Indiana report that tbe ehock was felt at Seymour a little before 3 o'clock, and that it was also felt wHh great severitv in Lawrencebarg, Ind., about the same time. In the latter town the shock was so violent as to be recognized by every one aa that of an earthquake. The tremor where it was not severe resembled that caused by a heavily loaded wagon driving along the street or a railroad train rushing by. The indications are that the wave passed from southwest to northeast. At Columbus, Ohio. Columecs, O., Sept. 19. A shock of earthquake was felt here at 2:14 standard and 2:42 local time, awaying objects perceptibly toward the south and back. There were two vibrations, distinctly marked, and some report a third more gentle. The two motions occupied about a second each. They were felt in every part of the city, and in all surroundine towns for a radius of one hundred miles. In the high and large buildings the shock was the worst. In the upper stories of the Statehouse, City Hall and asylums the occupants got out as quick as possible. At the Insane Asylum one chandelier was twang so mach as to fall and break to pieces. An arch of a church in the course of construction was iarred so that it fell. Pictures and chandeliers swung and desks moved. There was no serious loss to life or property. At Cleveland, Ohio. Clevflakd, Sept. UK Three distinct bat not very heavy shocks of earthquake here at 2:47 p. m. The largest buildings rocked slightly, and the motion was felt the plainest in the upper stories. Telegraph and other wires quivered so aa to attract attsntion, and many people felt a sensation of dizziness peculiar to such terrestrial commotions. The vibrations extended over a period of ten to fifteen seconds. So noise was noticed and no damage. This seems to have been near the eastern borders, the earthquake extending as far as Central Indiana at least, lieports were received this evening from Akron, Genoa, Fort Recovery, Ravenna, Sidney, Marion, Sandusky, t'rbanna, Kenton, Crestline, Coldwater and Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Union City and Muncie, Ind., felt the earthquake slightly, bat Alliance not at all. It was strong in Bellefontaine. At Dupont the shock; was felt plainly, knocking down crockery. At Findlav there was a severe shock. Holgate felt it plainly, stopping the clocks. At Norwalk there was a good shake. At Clyde it rattled the windows and scared the women. At Kawson the shock was plainly felt. It was accompa

nied with a rumblin? noise, and is all the talk ot the town. At Bluffton it was plaiuly felt. It shook the houses, making the windows and doors rattle. The people were badly frightened, and the sound was like distant thunder. At Arcadia there was the same experience. Reports from Indiana towns are: At Tortland a elight shock. At Kedkey there was a slight shock. . Several business men ran into the street to see if the buildings were falling and to ascertain the cause, and there was great excitement for a few minutes. At Albany it shook large brick buildings so that the inhabitant thought they were going to fall. At Beaver l)am there was a very severe shock, and everything was considerably shaken up. There was great excitement. No damage except to glassware and kindred articles. At Toledo, Ohio. Toledo, Sept. 1!). Reports from various points in this vicinity show the shock of earthquake which occurred this afternoon to have been quite general throughout Northwestern Ohio and Southern Michigan. Tbe duration of the bbock was ten to thirty seconds, and the course apparently from the southwest to the northeast. It was most violent at Defiance, O., where the swaying of the bnildings created much consternation.

People hastily abandoned their house?, and j tbe Methodist Conference in session, at one of the churches immediately adjourned to the street. The meeting of the Laiie Missionary Society, in progress at that time, was also quickly dismissed. The glass was broken in a number of the buildings, bat no serious damage was done. At Cecil, O., goods in stores were thrown from the shelves, and passengers at the rait road station ran out, thinking a train had struck the building. At Napoleon, Fosloria, Clyde, Bryan. Archibald, and intermediate points, the shock was distinctly felt, rattling the windows and crockery, but as far as reported doing no material damage. In this city the large building occupied by the Milburn Wagon Company was perceptibly shaken, the employes supposing it to have been caused by the moving of heavy machinery. The noise was similar to that produced by a distant explosion. It is said to have been heard in some parts of this city, while in other portions the shock was unnoticed. At Detroit, Michigan. Detroit, Sept. 19. Earthquake shocks were felt here at 2:45 this afternoon. It did no damage, but frightened many perfons in some places. Particularly in high buildings was the shock more noticeable than in 1 others. All alone Griswold street the shock was felt very distinctly, and men immediately rushed for tbe street, looking about anxiously, as if expecting the buildings to fall on them. The shock lasted from ten to twenty seconds, and it was the swaying motion that rattled the windows and shook the chandeliers. Boat Captains say there was a noticeable rise in the river at the same time. At the telephone office no shock was felt, while in the same building just across the hall it was very perceptible. Employes at the Whitnev Organ building swear the building vibrated at least fourteen inches. In the Western Union office the lloor seemed to heave, and the operators left their instruments, and men in the lower part of tbe building made for the streets. In the Chamber of Commerce building, the shoes was feit on the lower floor. Toe hock passed, leaving all in a dizzy mental condition. At Ann Arbor. Mich., at 2:30 p. m., a shock was felt. It was quite severe, and was felt all over the town. It lasted about thirty seconds. At Fort Huron, a elight shock was felt. It caused no alarm, and it was thought to have been an explosion. At Ypsilanti there was a strong shock. It lasted about ten seconds. The people Tan for the streets. ENTHUSIASTIC OHIO DESIOCHYTS. Tliey Turn Out in Overwhelming Numbers to Welcome Indiana's Favorite Statesman An Unprecedented Crowd of People Hamilton, ltutler County, Ohio. Special to the Sentinel. Hamilton, )., Sept. 21. The event of the campaign in Butler County is ot the past. Though much was expected, none had hoped for such a grand success ia every way as has been realized, and it may be said that the largest assemblage of people that ever visited our city was upon this occasion. Not less than 40,000 paople were present, and many put tbe estimate much higher. The different townships vied with one another in the display of delegations. Large wagons drawn by eight horses, trains of wagons drawn by traction engines, and all varieties combined to make up the seeming endless throng from the country. Governor Hendricks, the orator of the day, was the guest of James E. Neal, Esq., and was enthusiastically welcomed by the shouts of the thousands who had turned out to welcome our next Vice President. Tbe evening train brought 2.000 men from Cincinnati, Middle ton and other points to aid to the large crowd already here, in the torchlight procession. Cords of dry wood were blazing at intervals in the street, Japanese lanterns were suspended in profusion, and all this with the fireworks and thousands of torches produced a grand effect. Judge Thurmaa Introduced Governor Hendricks, who, for an hour and half, spoke to all who could get within hearing distance, which was but a small proportion of those present, and many felt fortunate to get ia sight of Indiana's distinguished statesman. Governor Hoadly next addressed the people, nsing as his text a card of Tile slander ana base lies that the Republicans were circulating. As each lie was snccessfully nailed it was evident to all that this card had been played at the wrong time for political effect. Mr. Newman, Secretary of Sate, and Mr. Follett, member of Congress from Cincinnati, followed with short and forcible speeches. Daring the speaking from the main stand, other speeches were made from other stands, so all had an opportunity to hear some good speaker. Butler County is always to be relied upon, and this year will roll up a larger Democratic majority than ever before. Bill Beckett said that he never saw the crowd equaled in this city but once, and that was in lsntj, when Benjamin Butler was here. Ex-Senator Peter Murphy said it was the largest crowd he ever saw within the corporate limits of the city of Hamilton. Fete Schwab said Hamilton had never seen snch a day in its history, and probably never would again. State Senator Elliott said that there was not a man less than 40,000 in the city, and that it was a low estimate. Hon. James E. Campbell pronounced it the greatest political meeting in the history of Butler County. Judge Thuxman stated that he never saw a larger turnout. At the main stand in the evening Judge Thurm an still presided. The first speaker was ex-State Treasurer James B. Ryan, of Indiana. He was followed by Speaker A. D. Marsh, of the Ohio Hoase of Representatives. Governor Hoadly was received with great applause, and his speech was received with cheer after cheer. While these speeches were being made from the grand stand, Secretary of State

James W. Newman, Judge Eniil Rothe, Hon. Jarres E. Campbell, Hon, John F. Follett, ex-Governor Bishop, Hon. Sam F. Hunt, Hon. Joseph Nichols, State Auditor Rice, of Indiana, and Hon. Allen Andrews made eloquent and effective speeches from the other platforms. ' The speakers all said that it was one of the most overwhelming political demonstration they had ever seen or expected to see in the future. AN IKTSn OKATOK

Makes a Most Dismal l ailure at Terr Haute A "Talking Blacksmith." Special to the Sentinel. Terke Haute, Ind., Sept. 21, Rev. G. W. Pepper, advertised as the great Irish orator, speke at the republican Wigwam last night, end although every effort was made to dram np a crowd with the aid of a band and the turning out of the Escorts, tha w igwam held the smallest audience of the season. A special effort was made to attract the Irish voters to the speaking, but for some reason or other the great outpouring that was expected failed to appear, and those voters who were present were life-long Republicans of this city, who have not now and never have had any sympathy or interest in common with that class. Rev. Pepper had a cold, and his voice sounded like a caliope, with occasional variations. He was introduced to the audience by an Irishman who has been a Republican all his life, and who mow holds a position nnder a Republican county oulcial. R.ev. Pepper charged all the ills that have happened from the deluge down to the present time to the evil influence of the Democratic party, and sought to proye itby an abusive trade against England, everything English, and dudes. The reverend gentleman was especially severe on the dudes. He said he was proud to belong to a party that had given such a man aa U. S. Grant to the country, and said he wa3 proud also to say that he had never voted a Democratic ticket in his life. In view of the fact that Rev. Pepper's mission here was to prove that Blaine was the great, only and original friend of the Irish, and to convert Democratic voters, this "conservative" admission of his partisanship hardly had the tendency of neutralising any Democrats that may have been prerenC Rev. Mr. Pepper was wrought np to such an intense ftate of enthusiasm that he magnified the Republican majority in Maine from 15.411 to 20,000, a thing a truly good Christian ought not to do. Rev. Mr. Pepper's objections to Governor Cleveland he enumerated under the following formidable heads: (1) He was a bache lor. (2) He was a Democrat. (3) He was subported by the Republican dudes. After he had spoken about aa hour his voice gave out. and Geerge W. Hippie, the "talking blacksmith," was introduced, and succeeded in making the crowd prow painfully less every minute he spoke. Mr. Hippie was not long on deck, but he betrayed the quality of his mind and completely, disgusted his hearers by a vulgar and insulting remark about the Halpin scandal, which he thought, perhaps, would raise a laugh, but which, creditable as it is to the Republicans, didn't. If he had talked half an hour longer there is no telling what he would have done. Some of the Republicans believe that Rev. Mr. Pepper is an emissary in the camp, and in the pay of the Democratic National Committee. He is certainly doing all he can to warrant that belief, and if let alone will carry the State by a large majority for Cleveland. The effort of tbe Methodist divine from tbe north of Ireland in this city was the saddest kind of a failure. FATAL. CONFLICT OF HATES. Failure of a Shrewd Scheme to Obtain a Pension. Boston, St pt. JO. A shrewd attempt to defraud tbe Government out of $2,000 or 83,000 pension money has been frustrated, and this morning the accused persons were brougtit before Commissioner Haliett and held in i,0G0 bonds each for appearance to morrow. It is one of the newest schemes that caa yet come to lieht, and but lor a fatal conflict of dates it would have succeeded. Thomas L. Alston was First Lteuteuant In the Twelfth United States Infantry. He "died in January, 187S. After several delays a pension certificate for over 12,000 was granted April 1-2. 187S. The question now arose as to the rightful ownership. His wife had died live years previous, and bis son, aged 16, was disqualified on account of his age. Maria Goodall. who was employed at Np, 576 Main street, Charlestown, claimed that some time before her death Alston had made her his wife. The woman is of negro descent, but so nearly white that she would pas fur a white woman. She could neither read nor write, yet she told a plausible story which was substantiated by others. She said that she aud Alston were married in Providence, R. I., and that Alston had giv n Ler the marriage certificate. She cauld not read it, but had shown it to two lady friends who would vouch for lta genuineness. The certificate bad disappeared, but the two ladies testified tnat they had seen it. Colonel Thos. II. MacBride, however, was not aatisfied with the verbal evidence, snd went to Providence for tbe documents. There be made tbe startling discovery that Thomas L. Alston and Maria Goodall had been married March 9, 1879, or over a year after Alston's death. Tbe Goodall woman was confronted with the record of tbe date, ar.l finally confessed that the scheme was a fraud. Thomas Smith, of Newton, was a second cousin to Alton's wife. Be told Maria, it is alleged, that if she could get a marriage certificate and show it to some friends and then lose it she could get the money. Smith had a wife with him at Newton, yet it is charged that lie loaned himself for the occaa on, and was married to Maria Goodall iu Providence, he personating Thomas L. Alston. Neither noticed the discrepancy in the date. Smith did not live with tbe woman. Smith and the Goodal woman rather overreached themselves. Had there been no marriage ceremony at all between the Goodall woman and Alston, the fact that they had lived together would have been recognized by the law as sufticient evidence of their being man and wife, and she would have been considered his widow. A BIO FAILURE. Kindskopf Brothers & Co., Clothiers, of Kew Tork City, Make an Assignment. New York, Sept. 19. Itindskopf Bros. & Co., clothiers, '18 Broadway, have assigned to Jacob W. Mack.

Full Text of the Correspondence Relative to the Joint Discussions. The Democratic State Central Oommittee metWednesday and was in session in the after coon and until a late hour in the evening. There was a full attendance of members, all the districts being represented and reports were made concerning the condition of the campaign in the several Congressional Districts of the State. The summing up chows thorough organization of the party in all sections of the State, there being no factions or factional fights, and each member of the party working to the end that a 6tate and National victory may be assured in November. The greatest confidence in this result animates the party not only in its leadership, but in its rank and file. Chairman Henderson reported that he had been unable to get a conference either with Mr. New or with Major Calkins relative to additional joint discussions, and the correspondence on this subject, which we publish below, was submitted for the consideration of the committee. Dates and places were then fixed for Colonel Gray's appointments for the remainder of the campaign, and this, of coarse, closes any additional joint discussions between the gubernatorial nominees.
