When Sheriff Smith went into the prison in the county jail at Wooster, ( 0., Tuesday morning, to get Samuel | and Abner Shank!in, circus musicians, under sentonce of twenty months in the penitentiary for burglary and larceny, the. prisoners told him they had spent the night in the cellar and could have escaped had they wished. The Sheriff on examination found the story was true. The Shank- I tins claimed that James C. I Wiggins, of Warsaw, Ind., charged with having hired Dr. W. Brown to kill William Mackey at the instigation ! of Mackey's mother-in-law, followed them into the cellar and that rather than assist this man toescape they had , forced Wiggins to go back and went back themselves rather than be a party j to this transaction. Dr. Brown was found guilty Tuesday morning. Mackey ; was the only witness on the stand, I Brown’s attorneys re f u ed to cross examine and argue. The jury was out only fifteen minutes.

It ! was not an easy* matter to get this amount of currency, but the Union Trust Company finally supplied it and it was put into a cab and taken to the Sub-Treasury. The money is in all denominations. from SI,OOO bills to $lO. It will remain in the Sub-Treasury un til the Cherokee Nation demands the whole or any part of it. Late dispatches say that peace once more reigns throughout the coke regions, but no one can tell how long this condition of affairs will continue. , The operators say the backbone of the strike has been broken and the end is onlv a few days off.

The strikers d > not think ' the strike is broken. Their leaders J say the men are gradually i ecovering from the confusion in’o which they were thrown by the arrest of the offic ts of the organization and the l€o Davidson rioters.

According to a Washington dispatch the seating of Messrs. O'Neill and English will not perceptibly affect the relative political strength "of the House of Representatives, yet the event affords an opportunity "of presenting the figures. When 'the House met at noon Wednesday there were on the rolls 215 Democrats, 126 Republicans, and 12 Populists. Changes effected Wednesday and Thursday de- 1

crease the Republican vote by two and increase that of the Democrats to the same extent. Assuming that Houk's successor will be a Democrat, the total strength of the several parties will then be: Democrats, 220; Republicans, 124; Populists, 12. At Omaha, Judge Caldwell’s decision in the Union Pacific wags schedule case was rendered Thursday morning and was a complete victory for the employes.

Ihe city of Oakland, Cal., has had many exciting events in its history, but nothing has occurred to compare with the turmoil caused early Friday morning by a regiment of 640 unemployed men, which left San Francisco Wednesday to join Coxey’s army in its journey to Washington.

But the ivnßl was not uttered, nor the shot fired. ” Wheat took a 3-cent jump on Wednesday at Chicago. There was a wild wail for wheat from the shorts <n the Board as soon as trading commenced and it grew into a cry of anguish later in the session. For two years and a half, says a dispatch, the bears have had things all their own way in selling wheat. The bulls are now ; aying that the day of retribution has ai rived, and there seemed to be some warrant for the assertion. May wheat was worth only hoi on Monday afterno in. Tuesday there wa* no session of the Board, and Wednesday morning no wheat could be bought 1 elow 618 and very little at that. In the course of another hour and a half there was an excited struggle t> get possession of wheat a»W, and it sold as high as 631 before enough could be obtained to satisfy the demand. That made the gain for the day within one-eighth of 3 cents per bushel. The cause of all the excitement was that, in aldition to the frost having cut off half of the crop on this side of the Rockies, a two months' drought is now threatening as serious ■ a disaster to the ( alifornia crop. With wheat around 60 cents, whereas not many year.- ago it was considered dead cheap’ at sl. it did tint look dear to B< ard of Trade people. A gang of seven highwaymen derailed a North Halsted street Chicago ear shortly after midnight Thursday night, and made a bold attempt to i rob the passengers.

His tw > wives and | two rabbis absolved him from his marriage vows to both women, the latter cementing and assi-ting ii tho ceremony. While this ’does not in any way affect Brown's legal responsibility under the law. neither woman would appear to testify against the man after the ceremony and ho was taken before Judge Baker and discharged. Judge Baker was not j leased with the proceeding, it was said, but as there was no prosecution he could do nothing but discharge the defendant. The ceremony in jail preceding tho discharge in court was interesting and unusual. Train Robbers Met with Bullets.
