PLYMOUTH. INDIANA. CLARA'S FEAT A FAKE SHE DIDN'T JUMP FROM BROOKLYN BRIDGE. Cuban Hebels Tnke a Town, and Admiral Mello May llnpousc Their Cause Great Iay for Atlanta Almost a Lynching in Kansas. It is now nnneinccl that Mrs. (Tiara McArthur. wh won fame ly an alleged jump from flu- Hrooklyn bridge and who is now winning a fortune in a Howery museum, never jumped from the lrilro at all. Mrs. M'Arthur's husband became angry because he was not given what he considered tu he his share of the proceeds of the museum engagement, and derided to expose the plot to deceive the public. It is asserted that the woman at first refused to even jump out of a boat under the bridge unless a rope was fasttened around her; then she refused to jump on account of the fold, dark water of the river. Finally the men threw her from the boat into the river and afterward fished her out. Mello Ji on tlic Way. The P.ritish steamer Taff, at Boston Tuesday from Cuba. brings the report of the evacuation by the Spaniards of ltanes, the most important fruit port on the northern coast, and also reports a most serious state of affairs in that part of the island. The oliicers of the Taff say the whole country is up in arms and that everybody favors the rebels. So true is this that only boys are left in the I'ort of Panes to loud and unload the vessels, the bulk of the male population having joined the rebel ranks. It is also stated that all the rich planters are in sympathy with the rebels. It was said at l'anes and (iibani when the Taff left that the Brazilian rebel Admiral Mello was expected any day with a war vessel ami r men to aid the insurgents, and one of the officers of the Taff who saw Mello bombard IIb says that there is evidently some good ground for the rumor, ami he further says that Mello can beat the Spanish gunl touts with even a single man-of-war. Atlanta's Fete Is On. At !!:" o'clock Wednesday afternoon r.n electric impulse Hashed into the grounds of the Atlanta Cotton Statesand International 1'xix.sition from ('ray tlables and the pressure of President Cleveland's linger on an lectrir button set in motion the biir engine in the machinery building. The fountains played, the Hags unfurled, the great throngs of visitors cheered, and Atlanta's big fair was formally opetntl for 12 days. Atlanta had made great preparations for the opening day. There were many handsome deeorations in the business part of the city, and a general holiday had been declared. Kesciicd from a Mob. Osage City. Kan., is in a fever of xciteim nt v r an attempted lym-hing. Lew Thomas, a dissolute character, was in jail charged with assault. About midnight the jail was attacked by a mob of masked citizens. They made short work of the harriers and soon had the culprit out of the jail and were leading him to the outskirts of the town.) The Sheriff meantime hail organized a jm.sso and gave chase. He and his men overhauled the mob and rescued the prisoner, who was hurriedly taken Lack to the jail. Alliici!C-ruc Congress.

It was decided by a vote of IS 1 to ('( to expel him from the union. The verdict of the coroner's jury in the Melby, Minn., railroad wreck was as follows: "We find that the direct cause of the accident is to be laid to Engineer Haines, in acting on wrong orders. We further blame the company for ordering passenger trains to meet at a Mind sid- . ing, where there is no agent, and where no lights are kept; also in allowing a conductor to send two orders to the engineer when only one was needed."

The collector of customs at Ogdensburg, X. Y.. has been directed by the Secretary of the Treasury not to admit any of the 200 Chinese recently landed at Vancouver I'll route to the Atlanta Exposition. There is reason for the belief that this is a fraudulent attempt to gain admission into the United States. Near Scituate, It. I., by a terrible thunderstorm $,(X0 worth of property has been destroyed. The famous (Jen. Lafayette tree was split in two. The tree is the only historical one in Rhode Island and is the one under which the General ate his dinner while the Continental troops were marching from Rhode Island to Connecticut. A cyclone struck the Village of Cape Vincent, X. Y.. just as a large excursion ea route homeward from the Jefferson County fair at Watertown was about to take the boat for Kingston. Canada. The Rome, Watertown and Ogdciisburg depot collapse, and (Jeorgc Jod f rev and Thomas Arneel. of Cape Vincent, received injuries from which they died. A large number of persons were injured, several of whom, it is feared, will die. Pennsylvania Democrats in State Convention nominated the following ticket: For State Treasurer Benjamin F. Meyers?. Cor Judges Supreme Court Harman Yerkes, J. S. Mnorehcad. C. II. Noyes, P. 1. Smith. Oliver 1. Rechte!, Christopher Magee. The platform endorsed Cleveland's administration, the repeal of the Sherman law, the principle of tariff reform, the coinage of both gold and silver, with the dollar as the unit. The platform ends with an arraignment of the State administration. Friday morning's New York World was probably the only regular issue of a newspaper which contained not a line of advertising. The Hooding of the pressroom during the tire on Thursday night reduced the press capacity so that it was possible to print only eight pages instead of the contemplated sixteen. Eight solid pages of advertising were, therefore, thrown nwr.y rather than cut the news down, and the eight available pages were devoted entirely to news. In spite of the delays due to the tire itself and mishaps consequent upon it. which in cluded tin' stoiping of nil the typesetting machines by the cutting' off of gas. the paper went to press on time. The World is receiving from ncwspapvrs throughout the country expressions of regret at its loss. It expresses its gratitude for the cordial interest manifested, assuring its friends that no serious damage has been done, owing to the fireproof nature of the building. WESTERN. Win. Connor, a well-dressed stranger, called upon the sheriff at Iudiunauolis. Ind.. demanding protection from his enemies. He was detained as an insane person. He gave his home as Pullman, Hi. Winnie Andrews, a Port Townsend. Wash.. nure girl, received a letter notifying her of the death of her grandmother, who died in Boston leaving $::n.- . She has quit work ami will go East to get the money. Four masked men compelled section hands to tear up part of tin- track of the Southern Kansas Railroad at Curtis. ( ). T., and when the west-bound passenger train was brought to a stop the bandits rilled the express car and escaped. R. C. Meade, the Atchison. Kan., insurance agent who absconded a few years ago with ab. ut s;i,,.",,o which had been intrusted to him. has been located in New York, and a telegram has been sent ordering his arrest. Meade was a prominent church member. A big reward was offen-d for his apprehension. The lay electoral conference at Ann Arbor. Mich., of the Detroit Methodist Confeieme allowed eleven women to be seated, practically without any opposition. The Committte n Credentials made no objection whatever to the women taki.ig their seats, and the conference ratified the action by adopting the report on an almost unanimous vote. Mrs. Hiram Place and Mrs. A. C. Anderson, of Santa Cruz. Cab, are among the heirs to the Leake estate of New York, valued at 8-Jm.imkmhm). Claimants have been trying to obtain possession of the estate for forty years. After Leake's death the property escheated to the State of New York. The heirs reside in Kentucky, Missouri and on the Pacific coast. Passenger trains Nos. 2 and 'A on the Creat Northern had a head-cud collision near Melby. Minn., Wednesday morning, five trainmen being killed. Both trains were running at a high rate of speed and came together with terrific force. Five are injured, including three mail clerks, cne brakeman and one passenger. Just how the wreck happened does not appear. It was on a heavy grade, and how the death list is se small is miraculous, as both engines, mail and baggage cars are complete wrecks. All the dead were residents of St. Paul. Mail Agent Pieck said he did not see how the mail agents escaped death, as at the point where the accident took place it was always customary for an agent of each train to be bleeping. The feverish spasm of high temperature which afflicted Chicago in common with most of the area of the Mississippi Valley relaxed about 1 o'clock Thursday when, on a shift of the wind to the northeast, the mercury in the thermometers began to descend, and during a quarter of an hour declined at the rate of one degree a minute. So rapid a change in temperature has seldom In en noted by the weather observers. The pronounced alterations of the temperature of the air may be accounted for on the theory that the unreasonable and unseasonable weather of the last three days was caused by unusual meteorological conditions held in such unstable relation that the return of the normal was sudden, once the tension was removed. Passenger loals Irom Michigan all had tempestuous voyages Thursday night. AU cf ihem passed through the ordeal without serious mishap, however, and were not over an hour or so late on arriving. Had it been any other time of the year than the height of the fruit season, it is likely that some of the steamers would not have started out, but to have remained in iort made such an immense loss on their fruit cargoes that they put out regardless of the furio is norther. The City of Kala maoo took in to Chicago from South Haven the bigpest cargo of peaches ever shipped from that place. It consisted of -11.1(H) baskets. With this immense load, which Idled all the freight room and crowded the passenger cabin, the steamer went through all right, without damaging any of the fruit. Mrs. Olstrom, wife of a section foreman, saved the west-bound fast mail

train on the Cnion Pacific, consisting of two mail cars, a day ceach ami a Pullman sleeper, from a probable frightful wreck near Wolcott station, six miles from Kawlius, Wyo. While alone at the section house she discovered that a wooden bridge spanning a small gully crossed by the track was burning. The fast mail, nearly an hour late, was approaching at a high rate of speed, endeavoring to make up lost time. Mrs. Olstrom ran down the track and ilagged the train, which was stopped within thirty feet of the burning bridge. The timbers were burned to such an extent that the train would have carried down the bridge. The overland liver and fast freights following the fast mail were delayed five hours. The passengers on th fast mail made up a purse of .ÖU for the woman. SOUTHERN. At Louisville seventy-five p. rs -vns were seriously injured Thursday evening by the falling of a portion of the grand stand erec ted for ('rami Army and other invited guests to view th. fireworks on the river front. No one was killed outright. Ten thousand people were thrown into a panic, but the crowd was so great that tens of thousands did not know of the accident. Senator Roger (X Mills, of Texas, i:i a communication to the chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Texas.

comes out squarely and vigorously against the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 1". to 1 by the F iii ted States, independently of the other commercial nations of the world. lie contends that in taking this stand he is following the example and teachings of the fathers of the Democratic party and its greatest leaders iu recent years. The report of Adjutant (Jeneral C. C. Jones, of the (J. A. R.. made at Louisville, shows that on June .'!(. l.V.U, there were i',.4'2 posts, with a total membership of .",.".', ;;S. The total amount expended for charity was $l.s.S!s. He lecomim tided that the time for holding the department encampments lie not before Jan. 1 nor later than May 10. The report of Inspector (Jeneral C. V. K. Pond showed that the posts have Sl.oO.V !l.t in securities and S1.1M1M7 in other property, a total of -::,2Ö 4..V7 . The report of Quartermaster (Jeneral J.

The twenty-ninth encampment of the (Jrand Army of the Republic ended at Louisville Friday night. A fitting tiuale to the encampment festivities was the brilliant ball given at the Auditorium by the holies of Louisville and of Kentucky. The feature of the day. however, was the old-fashioned Kentucky barbecue and burgoo at Wilder Park. The attendance was about l."ii.tniM. The last business transacted was the adoption of a pension report protesting against the cutting of P nsious. and the s lection of the following council of administration: Illinois. T. W.

Majors; Wisconsin, II. L. Thomas. WASHINGTON. The grand jury of the District of Columbia assembled for the autumn meeting Monday. The most important matter to be brought to its attention is the killing cf Ernest (J recti, a coh.ied Uy. by Miss Elizabeth Flagler, daughter of the chief of ordnance of the United States army. The verdict of the Coroner's jury exonerated the young woman from murderous intent, but Acting District Attorney Taggart decided that the matter was one for the (Jrand Jury. The attack of the gold reserve assumed formidable proportions Friday, and the probability of another bond issue s;ppeared in the eyes of many almost a certainty. But apprehension was allayed when the bond syndicate authorized the following statement: "The bond syndicate fulfilled all its obligations to the government iu June last and has not since been bound in any way to the treasury. So far as Oct. I is oncci-ncd. it has no relation to the action of the syndicate, and it will contain.' to deposit gold until Nov. 1, and Dec. 1, and Jan. 1. if necessary .M The Navy Department has made public its action in the cave of ('apt. (Jeorge W. Summer, late in command of the Fnited States cruiser Columbia, who was tried recently by court martial at the Brooklyn navy yard on charges growing out of the injury sustained by his vessel in docking at Southampton in July last. On the first charge, culpable inellicicncy iu the performance of duty, the court found him guilty in a less degree than charged. The captain was found guilty of the second charge of suffering a vessel of the navy to be hazarded in violation of the naval regulations. He was also found guilty of the third charge, neglect of duty, and the specification under that charge was proved namely: that he paid the charge of docking without pro: est. The sentence of the court is as follows: "To be suspended from duty only for n icriod of six months on waiting orders pay. and to be reprimanded by the Honorable Secretary of the Navy." ""foreign." The output of almost every cycle tube firm in Birmingham, England, has been brought up for the American trade, ait prices higher than the English have been paving. A courier at Tegucigalpa, Honduras, from Yotapan. announced the most terrible earthquake ever known in that section. The loss of life and property is enormous. Three hundred people are said to have perished. Advices received from Cuba, via steamship Mascotte, at Key West. Pia., say that a great battle has been fought near Camnguey between the insurgents under Maximo (Jomez and the Spaniards under (Jeneral Mallo. The battle lasted fortyeight hours, and the Spaniards were repulsed with heavy loss. It is reported that over seven hundred Spaniards were killed and wounded. When the news reached Havana it caused great excitement at the palace. Uoloff and his band have been busy, having blown up a troop train near Santiago de Cuba and a bridge near Sagua. Spaniards admit the train was blown up. but claim only five men were killed. Advices received, however, state that nearly one hundred soldiers were killed. The haiixtr of Havana is almost deserted. Not a ship, save Spanish, was there when the Mascotte left.

tion that has dragged along for twenty- I six years, giving rise to fiery debates in I the Spanish cur"es and protracted committee inquiries in both branches of our own congress. Having settled the international feature of the case the State Department is now likely to encounter some difficulty at home in disbursing the money. Much litigation is threatened, as was evidenced by the taking out of an injunction by one of the assignees Saturday to restrain the State Department lrom paying over all the money to the claimant. Mora. During the years of the pendency of this great claim Mr. Mora has been obliged to make assignments of part of it. the larger items being on account of legal expenses. Some ef these assignments have been recorded in the State Department. IN GENERAL Fnited States Consul Munchnieyer. at San Salvador, died of yellow fever, whicu disease also killed his predecessor, Mr. Pollock. Mr. Munchnieyer was appointed last February from West Virginia. Although it is almost universally a g reei I that the regatta committee of the New York Yacht Club could not have acted Wednesday other than it did in awarding Tuesday's race to the Defender because of Valkyrie's fouling and crippling her right on the starting line, a good deal of regret is expressed that there was not a way out of the dilliculty which would have permitted the committee to call it "no race" and order it to be run again. When the decision was announced. Dunraven did not sulk, but declared he would race to the end. K. G. Dun & Co. in their weekly review of trade say: A slight setbatk. which may mean much or nothing, according to the final outcome of the crops, is not unexpected at this season. If the government crop reports were correct the situation would not be encouraging. But not much confidence is placed in the reduced estimate of corn, none at all in the estimate of wheat, and even the most enthusiastic bulls do not think it worth while to quote the government report as to cotton. The fact is that we are beginning to market not far from L'J x M m .- (Mn bushels of corn (though only about .( n ,( m H i,i h m ) bushels will be niovt 1 from the counties where it is grown I: about 40.(M"UNt( bushels of wheat, of which the farmers are unwisely holding back a large proportion: and about 7.Jmi((h bales of cotton, if t!ie later indications are not erroneous, as they very easily may be. to add to the stocks carried over. The Defender sailed the third cup contest heat Thursday alone. Lord Dun- I raven refused to answer any questions j regarding the motives of his course. Iu the usual jockeying for a start the crew of the Valkyrie .seemed to make no effort to put the British craft in fast raung I . trim. The Defender crossed the line at 1 1 I, and the Valkvrie at 11:21 :."'.. but while the Defen.b r Hew over the imbinary line with all sails s,-t and pulling gramllv. the Valkvrie lvol not boist.-d it club topsail. It is possible that the Vr.lkyrie was blanketed slightly by pilot boat I'd. as she liew a protest tlair find luffed to return to th -ommittee boat almost immediately after -rssing the lim. Itut in view of the slight preparations niad' ami of the prompt hoisting of the flag of th N'w Vrk Yacht Club, signifying a surrender of the race, it does not seem possible that the Valkyrie was at any tiim iutc!idI to nwe. If the course had b'-n absolutely clear, site would simp'y hav- made the start to establish a race. The protest was simply an i::cident.

Fire broke out on board the steamei Iona, from Edinburgh to London, Monday. The flames spread with so much rapidity that before aid readied the Vessel six of the passengers aud the stewardess of the Iona were burned to death. The lire was put out after four hours' struggle The fire broke out when the Iona was off C'laxton, in the forepart of the vessel. The passengers were aroused, and it was supposed that all had escaped from the burning cabin. While the crew were busy fighting the flames soldiers on board assisted in lowering the boats and in supplying passengers with life belts. There was no wind, and the sta was perfectly smooth. There was so much excitement and confusion among the passengers that the captain was unable to restore order. Suddenly it was discovered that some women and children we're missing. Tho stewardess re-entered the burning cabin, it is presumed, to try to rescue those who were missing, ami she also perished. 11 President's Church" Wants Taltna-e With a previous understanding that an affirmative answer would be given, the oliicers of the 'President's church." in Washington, tho First Presbyterian, have extended a "caH" to T.
