Maryland Democrats have nominated Elihn E. Jackson for Governor. Mr. Blaine is still in Scotland. He is preparing a magazine review of his travels. Mrs. E. L. Fernandez, a well known actress, is heir to a fortune of $250,000 in England. Mr. Blaine telegraphs that he does not expect to return to America until next year. A single robber rifled the pouches of two mail coaches near Dripping Springs, Texas, Friday night. Ex-Senator Ben. Harrison delivered a speech to U. S. Grant Post,.G;A. R., at Washington, Tuesday night. Chicago expects Cleveland to visit that city without an invitation, and is arranging to entertain him. Senator Sherman left Monday on a trip of pleasure to Puget Sound, which may be extended to Alaska. The drought in Kansas is serious. No rain has fallen since July 4, and corn will not be good for anything but fodder Secretary Fairchild is paid to be preparing a tariff revision bill that will satisfy both wings of the Democratic party. A severe wind, rain and hail storm swept over Louisville, Tuesday night, causing considerable damage to shipping. The glass manufacturing firms of of S. McKee & Co., and King,Son A Co., at Pittsburg, sustained a loss of $150,000 by fire Sunday. The signal office and agricultural bureau agrees that last week was a hard one on crops, the present condition of which causes considerable anxiety. Mrs. John A. Logan ha« arrived at Washington. Her shoulder blade which was dislocated had to be reset, as the first operation was somewhat of a failure. C. J. Kershaw, the famous wheat clique brokerin Chicago, has liabilities of $1,800,000 and gross assets of $1,760,000, including $1,500,000 due from the Cincinnati parties. Augusta, Georgia and vicinity has been damaged to the extent of $1,500,000 by high water. Sunday evening the water was three feet deep in parts of the city, but soon receded. ; The brother of the present king of Siam, his four nephews and the recently appointed envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Washington and his suite have arrived in New York. Several iron mi'ls have been closed because the owners refuse to recognize a law passed by the workers, that no man should.hold two positions in a mill. Five thousand men are idle now and more will be before the trouble is ended. On the occasion of the antLprohibition State barbecue, at Fort Worth, on the 26th inst., a strong letter was read from Jefferson Davis to ex-Governor Lubbock, denouncing prohibition on the ground that the world is governed too much.

The postal revenues now nearly meet expenses, and an official predicts that in a few years the postoffice department will be carrying letters for a cent in less than ten years, and will be sending letters to all parts of the world for two cents. “Sloptown,” a precinct of Cincinnati covering six acres, was swept out of existence by fire Friday afternoon. Twenty-five buildings were burned and 150 people are homeless. The loss,SIOO,OOO, is nearly total. Fifty cows were cremated. Jeff Davis has wrttena letter protesting against the adoption of the prohibition amendment in Texas, and such is the magic of his name in that section that it is believed the publication of the letter will insure the defeat of ihe measure, which, until the letter appeared, it was believed would be carried. On Friday afternoon three colored people, Sol Snowden, Mose Watkins and Alice Cross, residing near Hardensville, Ky., were working in a tobacco field when a storm came up. They took shelter under a tree, and had been there but a few moments when a bolt of lightning •flashed down, shattering the tree and killing all three. Prince Krow Lang Dezvawousge Varoprakaw, half brother of the King of Siam, and suite, arrived in New York Sunday. He has been doing the -‘Queen’s Jubilee.” He has no definate plans of action in this country, other than to visit Washington and Niagara Falls. Let us hope he will not get mixed up in his name while in this country. Chas. H. Reed, one of the lawyers who defended Guiteau, attempted suicide, at New York, Saturday morning. by jumping into the North river from a ferry boat. He was rescued by a police officer and taken to the Chambers street hospital. The paddle wheel of the boat struck Reed on the head. Reed has been stopping at a Jersey City hotel for some time. A dispatch from Springfield, 111., says: ‘lnvestigation by the supervisors of this (Sangamon) county show that four exsheriffs are indebted to the county in the sum of $24,000 for fees and money retained. Ex-Sheriff Gibson said he run the office for all there was in it, and proposed to keep the money. AH' the sheriffs, including the present official, paid the police 50 cents apiece for every tramp arrested and committed to jail.” Bishop Laughlin, of Brooklyn, senior

bishop of the Catholic church in America, has been summoned to Rome. He will go early in the fall. He had a controversy with Priest J. J. Crunimus, who was suspended. Afterward he fought the bishop all through the church courts, and defeated him. A communi cation was sent ordering the priest’s reinstatement. This order the bishop tore up and flung into the fire, and refused to reinstate the priest. It is this action he is called upon to explain. A coadjutor bishop, probably with the right of succession, will be appointed, and this in itself is rather a severe punishment to the bishop, who has for thirty-four years ruled his diocese with a rod of iron, refusing either advice or assistance from any of his priests. Father Farrelly will probably be the man.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.

Labor Polls a Large Vote in Covington and New Port. Buckner, the Democratic Candidate for Governor, Hai 30,000 Majority—Republican Gaine Reported from the Interior. The Kentucky State election was held Aug. Ist. There were four tickets in the field, Prohibition, Union Labor, Republican and Democratic. The Republican ticket was headed by William O. Bradley, one of the 306, who, in 1880, fought so stubbornly and persistently for the nomination of General Grant for the Presidency, while the leader of the Democratic host was Simon Boliver Buckner. The compaign was a very spiriten one, the protective tariff being the chief issue. Returns from the interior of the State indicate very large Republican gains. Returns from the city of Louisville show Democratic gains. In Kenton county, a part of Carlisle’s district, including Covington, the Union Labor party polled a much larger vote than the Republicans, the Democrats about holding their own. Returns from county towns in the State, show Republican gains, compared with the vote polled for Blaine, as follows: Frankfort, 250; Lancaster, 350; Franklin, 350; Eminence, 75; Sheperdsville, from 800 to 1,000; Maysville, 250; Owensboro, 175; Central City, 400; Hopkinsville, 350; Stanford, 500 —the Republicans carrying the county for the first time in it’s history. Lexington gave a majority of 88 for General Buckner—the first time it eyer carried by a Democratic candidate for Governor. Bardstown, Bowling Green, and Danville all report Democratic gains. General Buckner ran ahead of his ticket. Campbell county (Newport) elected Union Labor candidates by from 400 to 700 majority. The Union Labor also polled a heavy vote and elected some of their candidates at Covington. Buckner’s majority is estimated at from 25,000 to 35,000. Republicans claim a gain of 18,000. A fierce fight occurred at the polls on election day at Manchester, Clay Co., Kentucky, A score or more of men participated, all having revolvers or bowie knives. Six men were killed outright and a number badly injured. Four of those killed were prominent people in the neighborhood. There was no attempt on the part of the officers to quell the disturbance.

McGARIGLE GETS THERE.

That Is, He Gets to Canada in Good Shape. But it Is a Very Close Call—Just, a Few Minutes Ahead of the Officers in Landing. Boodler McGarigle, of Chicago, ianded at Sarnia,Ont..Sunday morning, from the schooner Ed. Blake. The Blake and Marsh were in the same tow, and while in American waters the tug Oriole, with Chicago detectives on board, steamed up to the Marsh apparently with the intention of having them drop the Blake's ton line. After a short conversation the Blake’s tow line was let go, but at the same instant a yawl left the schooner with McGarigle and quickly rowed for the Canadian side, landing at Point Edward. McGarigle at once drove to Courtwright, twelve miles down the river, ostensibly to catch a boat He was, however, driven back and is now at Sarnia. It is believed that he is nervous over his safety in Canada, as he keeps away from the river, apparently fearing attempts at kidnapping. Dr. St John,the owner of the schooner Blake, and who is believed to have personally assisted McGarigle to escape, was arrested Monday morning at the breakfast table at his home in Chicago, by Inspector Bonfield. The doctor was at once taken before a magistrate and, waiving examination, furnished bail for $20,000, D. B. Fisk becoming surety. St. John’s supposed assistant in the escape, Dr. Dell, was not arrested, but a warrant is out lor him. He was found at the county hospital complaining of being sick. A guard was left with Dell until it could be ascertained whether he was in a condition to be moved. Judge Shepard, Mondav sentenced Edward S. McDonald to three years in the penitentiary. McDonald is a brother of Mike McDonald, the notorious gambler and politician,and was convicted with McGarigle of conspiracy. Several ether of the leading boodlers in the trial now in progress have pleaded -guilty. The—evidence —was —overwhelming. 1 ;

THAT .

Attorney General Michener’* Opinfhlon on Col. Robertson's Kights. He Holds That Col. Robertson Cannot Be Deprived of His Pay and Title By Being Prevented from Officiating. Another opinion of considerable importance in relation to the lieutenantgovernorship has been given by Attorney-general Michener, in reply to questions submitted to him by State Auditor Carr. The opinion relates directly to the question as to whether or not Lieutenant-governor Robertson is entitled to pay as President of the Senate while he was prevented by Mr. Smith and his supporters from performing the duties of the position, but necessarily it also covers the validity of his election and his title tb the o flee. The opinion is a lengthy one, in which Mr. Michener declares Coj. Robertson cannot be deprived of his pay and title because prevented from officiating. He says: “A short time ago I rendered the opinion to the Secretary of State, in wnich I held that Robertson was legally elected to the office of Lieutenant governor at the general election in November, 1885, and I still adhere to that opinion. In Section 1# of Article 5 of our Constitution, it is provided that the Lieu-tenant-governor shall, by virtue of his office, be President of the Senate.” This fixes the right of the Lieutenantgovernor of the Senate. This right is absolute and indisputable from the time he is declared to be the Lieuten-ant-governor until the end of his term, unless he is outset from the office by the judgment of the General Assembly on a contest of his election, under Section 6 of Article 5 of the Constitution, and Sections 4744-4746, Revised Statutes, 1881, and no other body, tribunal, or court can control, supervise or review its decisions concerning the title of the office of Lieutenant-governor. There was no contest of his election, and his title to the office of Lieutenant, governor iS’now beyond the question of any of the departments of the State.” After discussing the matter in its various phases he closes his opinion as follows:

“In the case you present, the record of the canvass by the Speaker in the presence of the two, Houses, of the declaration of the re&ult, and of the oath taken, furnished, at least, prima facie evidence of the title in Robertson. This evidence became conclusive when there was a failure to contest the election before the General Assembly. The title to the office was vested in Robertson when he took the oath of office and he was entitled to perform its duties, enjoy its honors and receive its compensation. He cannot be denied this compensation merely because the Senate refused to allow him to preside over it, That denial did not destroy his title. As the title remained in him notwithstanding the action of the Senate, it is clear that he is entitled to the incident of the title which Is the compensation. “I therefore advise you that you should draw the warrant which is claimed, if the mileage and per diem are stated correctly.” Upon receiving the opinion of the At-torney-General, the Auditor issued a warrant to Col. Robertson for S4BO for his services as Lieutenant-Governor, and in addition to the amount he received as a member of the Roard of Equalization.

THE NEW CRUISERS.

The Atlanta, Boston and Chicago Pronounced Worthless for War Purposes. —Summary of the Defects—A Lost Sheep or. Two. The board appointed by Secretary Whitney, on Friday last, to inspect the Atlanta and take command of her until his orders have been fully carried out, met on board the vessel Monday. The board was busy that day and the next examining the armament of the Atlanta. The result will be communicated to Secretary Whitney in a few days, when the board completes its labor, not as it was outlined in the order of Secretary Whitney naming the members of the board and the duties they were expected to perform, but the result of the inspection Of the ship and her armament as presented to the board during the short time it has walked the deck of the Atlanta. The results of the labor of the board, summarized, are as follows: “The ship is at present practically useless. Her structure appears to be strong and free from weakness, but her armament is hors du combat. The injury to the eight-inch gun carriages is such that they can not again be used until completely repaired. The damage to the clip-circle and clips in such that if repaired the board would not be warranted in firing the guns, a repetition of the injury to them being inevitable. The board does not think that this portion of the fittings of the vessel was eve r in tended to retard the recoil of guns, and the damage done is in excess of what is reasonable. The deck of the vessel is found to be intact. The uncertain behavior of the eight-inch guns makes it inexpedient to again subject the vessel to firing tests. It is manifest from the location of the six--inch guns that if the eight-inch guns were in perfect order the six-inch guns would be idle, as it would be impossible to work both guns at the same time. The smaller secondary battery is also useless while either the eight or sixinch guns are firing. The result is that the Atlanta, lor a vessel of war as the I armament is now arranged, is absolutely worthless. The discharge of heavypower guns-is likely to be "followed by injury to the vessel. The three bat-

teries, which ought to be so arranged as to be fired, if necess&ry.simultaneously, are inoperative for a single fire.” The board will further report that until the repairs are made which the present condition of the boat really demands, it is out of the question to think of making any thorough teats of any part of her battery. What is true ol the Atlanta is also true of the Boston, and probably of the Chicago. ' . Captain Bunce, commanding the Atlanta, prudently tested the effect of the discharge of the eight-inch guns before exposing the men. The first sheep put next the gun was blown—nobody knows where. The second sheep was tied around the body with a small rope, and slack enough given to allow freedom of movement. The animal was tossed high into the air and drawn back by the rope a dead creature. Other objects were placed near the six-inch guns and in every instance the warning was to keep away from the guns when discharged. The board will probably finish its labors and adjourn this week, jt be ing out of the range of probability that the tests laid down by Secretary Whitney will ever be executed.

CHESTERTON IS EXCITED.

Charge of Murder Against “Rev.” Mr. West. Sad Termination of the Suite Beck-West Scandal-Bhe is Taken to St. Louis and Murdered—The Ex-Saver of Souls Skips Out to Save His Own Worthless MeekComplete History of the Case.

The particulars of the simultaneous disappearance of Miss Susie Beck and the Rev. W. T. A. West, a few weeks since, were fully reported in these columns. Susie Beck was the daughter of poor parents living near Chesterton,lnd., and was employed as a servant in the family of Rev., Mr. West. The wife became suspicious of Susie and she was discharged. She went to Chicago on June 21st, to which city West soon followed under the pretense of taking medical treatment. They, went to St. Louis, entirely penniless, and passed their first night in a wheat field in the outskirts. He told a pitiable story, of having eloped with her despite her parents’ desires, and how they had tramped many weary miles. Charitable persons assisted them and he got work ashn elecro-plater. He bought a package of over two pounds of arsenic at a manufactory, to be used in his trade. His wife was taken sick with all the symptoms of cholera morbus and died July 18, the doctor giving a burial certificate. She was buried, but when the body was exhumed it was discovered that she had given premature birth to a child, which had been placed in the coffin with her. The next day West disappeared and went home to his wife. Then from Chesterton, Ind., came the announcement that Thomas Abbott was the Rev. William Thomas Abbott West, and Mrs. Annie Abbott was Susie Beck. A letter was received purporting to be from Susie Beck, dated at Chicago two’ days after her death. West appeared at Chesterton, dazed and ill, and he fled as soon as he learned that he had been identified as Abbott. He took away all his photographs but one. West’s suspicious actions in St; Louie alone led to his detection. He left Chesterton on the 26th, having money from unsuspecting friends. A letter was received at Chesterton on Saturday from Toronto, Canada, in a handwriting that remarkably resembles West's, purporting to be from George E. West, asking for particulars of his brother’s scandal. He particularly asks that the fact of his writing be kept from the family in Chesterton, and says he has had no word from the matter since he left Chesterton some weeks ago.

The deed was done and well done,and it would appear that 'it never would be discovered. But the man who had done it saw immediately 100, even 1,000 flaws in the details of his work. He thought a thousand eyes were on these flaws and that it all required explanation. He disappeared and then framed the letters to explain it all when no explanation was needed —his very excess of shrewdness gave to the world the clew which would expose the crime he wished to conceal. He raised the body of his victim from the grave to testify against him and make plain every detail of the crime. A light from the tomb, as it were, brought out all the imperfections of his plot. A special from Chesterton says: The excitement in Chesterton over the West case is intense. Men express themselves as being ready for any duty. Prominent people express themselves as being ready to pull a rope on West if the opportunity occurs. Services iu West’s old* church were held Sunday, but very few attended. The church has received a terrible set-back there. Many people have ° already ordered their names erased from the church book. From ■ morning until night, throngs of excited people were to be seen, and nothing was heard but “West,” “West,” Business is suspended and a stranger stepping into Chesterton would think war times had returned. The Western miners hold more meetings and conventions than any other class of workingmen, and seem to make leas headway in the permanent settlements of disputes.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

Over 120 new buildings are in course of erection at Huntington. Oil was struck at Walton,Cass county Thursday, at a depth of 1,007 feet. Seymour has five active building associations. Indianapolis -has nearly eighty. Huntington is talking of water works. Logansport owns its own water works, and its service is probably the cheapest in the State. O. H. Morgan of Ft. Wayne became mentally depressed from insomnia and Tuesday shot three bullets into his breast and died. The ’’First Regiment Patriarchs Mui tant I. O. O. F. held k successful three days encampment at Warsaw last week. There were several dignitaries of the order and quite a large number of members present. ( It is estimated that the serious drouth Clark county is now passing through will increase the price of hay to S2O a ton and corn to 75 cents a bushel before six njonths have passed. The hay crop is almost an entire failure. On Saturday a vein of powerful magnetic and sulphur water was tapped at a depth of 300 feet at While’s institute gas well, now being drilled near Wabash. It is stated that the water is so heavily charged with magnetism that a knife blade dipped in it will hold up a bunch of keys. The well is constantly flowing a heavy stream. Saturday night some dastard disemboweled two valuable horses owned by W. Z Martin, which were running in pasture in Tippecanoe county. The devilish act was committed with a butcher knife. The perpetrator is undiscovered. A valuable horse owned by Marcellus Rawles, six miles west of Lafayette, was cut in a number of places and rendered worthless. a- A fourteen-year-old son of John Kunkle drooped a lighted match in the water-well in front of the old Cottage Hotel at Portland. A terrific explosion followed, hurling pump, platform and boy against the hotel. The boy’s clothes took fire and his feet and legs were terribly burned. The gas found its way into the well from the natural gas well, located some sixty yards south.

Dedrick Cramer, a prominent saloonkeeper at Weisburg, Dearborn county, died in jail Sunday from the effects of delirium tremens. Cramer a few years ago was a wealthy and prosperous man, but was ruined by dissipation. His horrible roarings and demoniacal yells and curses before death ensued created a panic among the the other prisoners and filled them with superstitious terrors that remained to chill even after his distorted corpse was removed from the jail. Dr. Robert Hay, a reputable practitioner, residing at Greenville, Knox county, Wednesday received notice from the “Yellow Caps” to leave, under penalty of a severe thrashing. The “Yellow Caps” claim that the Doctor is not in sympathy with some of their proposed plans, hence their threats. Dr. Hay will hot leave and bids the outlaws defiance. Reports of depredations by the gang from other localities come pouring in daily and the people seem to be powerless. The mills of the Tippecanoe Paper Company, located at Monticello, were destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon, causing a loss of $76,200. The building and machinery were insured for $12,300. The principal stockholders of the company are Bradner, Smith & Co., of Chicago. The mills were recently rebuilt, having been completely destroyed by fire less than two years ago. A spark from a chimney falling into some shavings near the building, on the outside, is the supposed origin of the fire. A miracle is reported at Commisky Jennings eounty. Months ago the Baptists concluded to build a church. Work progressed favorably until it came to raising a big beam, whicli was to support the roof, when it was found that a derrick large enough could not be procured, and work was stopped. On last Monday morning, however, it was discovered that the beam had been placed in position by some unknown agtncy Hundreds of people gathered about the place and the miracle, if sucn it may be termed, has created great religious excitement in the neighborhood. No dis Acuity was experienced in raising SIOO to go on with the work, and it was decided to call the new edifice “Christ’s Own.” The last Legislature approprated several sums for the Soldiers l Orphans’Home at Knightstown, among which was $65,000 for completing and furnishing the new building. In addition to this were appropriations of $20,000 for shops, purchase of material and machinery, $20,000 for other buildings and a chapdl, and $5,000 for ornamentation of the grounds. Of these several sums the trustees have so far drawn $20,325.60, and that ’on account of the appropriation for the main building. Ten days ago the Governor instructed the Auditor of State to draw no more warrants on these appropriations, stating that the funds v ould not permit of any experditures except those for the maintenance of the benevolent and other State institutions, and for current demands. Tom Rufus, a blacksmith, of Hollandsburg eight miles east of Rockville, an evicted tenant of W. H. Cutbirth, postmaster, got into a row with the latter .because-he. turned *. calf into the gardenon the premises where the vegetables

had not been gathered. Rufus, armed with two hammers, attacked Catbirth, who drew a pocket-knife. The result was Cutbirth got a fearful blow on the head, laying bare the skull and crazing him. Rufus had the muscles of his right arm literally sliced from him, besides a cheek laid open, several gushes in the breast, one of which has so weakened him that physicians say he cannot recover. Cutbirth is wild as a maniac "and still has possession of the shop, forbidding friend, enemy and doctor coming near. The postmaster is very unpopular, and it is believed that the calf episode was only an excuse for an attack upon him. The following patents were issued to Indiana inventors Tuesday. Conant, Ossian A. C., Terre Haute, flour packer; Gustavei, Lewis G. W., Monticello, hame tug; Horrod, Sanford H., Canton, and S. J. Lamb, assignors of one third to W. W.

Wednesday night four young men entered the the new cave recently discovered at Milltown, near Jeffersonville, and had an exciting experience. After passing the beautiful gallery they came to a bank of earth, and proceeded to dig through it. When a hole was pierced so as to provide a passage beyond, foul air flowed in from the unexplored part. Lamps and candles were extinguished by the gas,and the party was almost asphyxiated. One of the explorers became violently ill and vomited. Attempts to strike matches failed, they refusing to burn. Nearly exhausted, the party crept through the darkness toward the entrance, but were lost in a side gallery which was probably their salvation, as they were enabled there to strike a light. They reached the surface at 1:30 o’clock Thursday morning, after being in the cave three hours. All were very much prostrated by their experience.

The second trial of the celebrated Wise will case, which has been in progress at Sullivan for eight weeks, was brought to a close Wednesday afternoon by the jury agreeing to disagree, seven being in favor of the plaintiffs and five for the defendants. The suit, which was tried in the Knox county circuit court in 1885, is probably the most important civil action, with which the Indian* courts have every dealt. Two year* ago a verdict was returned in favor of the defendant, from which the plaintiffs took an appeal. The suit was brought to break the will of the late William J. Wise, of Vincennes, who bequeathed his entire estate, valued at $400,000, to his three nieces. The plaintiffs attempted to prove that the testator was of unsound mind, and that undue influence was brought to bear on him by the beneficiaries in the making of the will. General Ben Harrison was prominent among the attorneys for de-
