Residents of Murray City, Ohio, burned the house of George Washington, a colored man. He lost everything. The excuse given for the outrage is that no blacks are want9d in the place. At Chicago Henry L. Stoltenberg, the stenographer and private secretary of Alexander Sullivan, has been put under arrest by the prosecution in the Cronin case. Just what Stoltenberg is wanted for nobody, save the State's counsel, knows for a certainty, but there are two theories offered to account for his arrest. One o? these is that a connection has been established between him and "Johnny" Graham, now under indictment for jury-bribing. The otber theory is that Stoltenberg has been identified as the man who sent the telegram to Martin Burke's attorneys nt Winnipeg adviRing as to the preparations to be made for Burke's return to Chicago. It is said Stoltenberg is willing to give the State all the information he possesses. The Lincoln accommodation on the Burlington Road and the Kansas City express collided at Gibson, Neb., a few miles south of Omaha. The baggage, smoking and chair cars of the Kansas City tram were thrown down an embankment and caught fire. The Harries were quickly extinguished and the work of rescuing the passengers begun.

POLITICAL PORRIDGE, The canvassers in Silver Bow County, Montana, have thrown ont the vote in what is known as the railroad precinct, which gave a Democratic majority of 174. This action, if it is upheld by the courts, will Beat the entire Republican delegation from that county eleven members overcome the Democratic majority in the Legislature, and give the Republicans two United States Senators. The Democratic managers will ask Judge DeWoli'e for a writ of xnandtnins to compel the canvassers to co v. the rejected precincts. The action of , canvassers has caused much excitement. There is talk that if the Legislature assembles before the courts pass on the question the Democrats will break the quorum in the Legislature, and Mr. Toole will not be inaugurated unless it is patent that he is elected without the majority of the rejected precinct. I he count in Lewis nnd Clarke County is still in progre-s, but nothing new has developed. As the returns flra now declared officially from every county in Montana the Legislature stands: Senate Republicans, Democrats, 8. House Republicans, 30; Democrats, 25. B0UKK12 Cockhan, Charles Steckler, and Edward Cahill, representing Tammuny Hall, some days ago asked exPresident Cleveland to be a candidate to succeed the late Sunset Cox in tbe Ninth District. Mr. Cleveland has declined. It is believed that Amos J. Cummings will be elected. At a meeting of the negro Democratic State committee held in Nashville, Tenn,, resolutions were adopted denouncing the Republican party and declaring that tho division of the ncro vote is necessary to the prosperity of the colored race. It was also asserted that the Southern negroes are much better olf than those oi the North. On a ballot being taken in the Legislature of South Dakota for Senators, the vote stood: In the House Pettigrew, 108; Bartlett Tripp, 14; Moody, 107; M. H. Day, 11. In the Senate Pettigrew got 41 to Tripp's 4, and Moody 41 to 4 for Day. The Legislature in joint session formally ratified the action of both branches and adjourned until January. acr6ssthe ocean. Gen. WolseI-'EY's engagements will not permit him to attend the unveiling of the monument of Gen. Lee at Richmond, Va. Archbishop SatoijIjI, who will represent the Pope at the inauguration of the Catholic university at Washington, will sail for America this week. It is rumored that the Servian cabinet has resigned, owing to dissension among tho members in regard to the attitude of the government toward ex-Queen Natalie. It is reported in Athens that tho ('retuns repulsed a force of Turks which was Advancing upon Sphakia by way of the Kaliicrates! derile. One Turkish officer nnd three soldiers are said to have been killed. ' A council of war, at which Minister

de Freycinot presided, was held at Paris '

tho other day to discuss tho increase of tho German frontier corps. It was decided to double tho Sixth Army Corps in order that 100,000 men may bo sent quickly to the frontier in case of an emorgoncy. The council also resolved to increase Eastern ra lway facilities. A Lisbon dispatch says tho public is officially informed that tho King of Portugal is in a critical condition. Tho paralysis with which ho was partially affected has becomo total, and there seems to be no hope of his recovery. A dispatch from Venice i-ays: An earihquake has been experienced in this section. Several houses in a village near here were destroyed. TiiinTY-Fivi: nt'NDKEO coal-miners arc on a strike at Lens in the department of Pas do Calais, Franco. FRESH AND NEWSY.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, British minister to this country, who went abroad some time ago for the purpose of bringing his family to Washington, has returned with them. A HomuBiiE story comes from Sonora, Mexico. Two companies of Mexican soldiers were caught in swimming by a band of Yaqui Indians and all of them slaughtered. The Mexican Government has Kent 2,000 soldiers after the Indians, who aro supposed to be retreating toward Arizona. Mb. Wm, E. Cuetis, the manager of the excursion of delegates to tho International Congress, has telegraphed to the points yet to be visited by tho members of the Congress requesting the reception committees to abandon that part of their programmes which provides for banquets, in mercy to the exhausted delegates. He also siated to the committees that visitors do not care to see the factories, of which they have had a surfeit. In the base-ball games for the world's championship between New York and Brooklyn eleven games are to be played, and the contest is to end as soon as either club has scored six victories. The August earnings of tho Union Pacific Road, including roads in which a half interest is owned, were: Gross, S3.8H;., 195; increase. $3:l,5b8; net, $1,. 095,000; increase, $205,548. R. G. Dun & Co.'tf weokly review of trade says: The Government crop rexort was encouraging, but tho loss 01 gold bv the groat foreign bunks over $1,100,000 by Eiii-flaml, 1,000, '300 by Gonnauy, and $4,200,000 by trance was large enough to increase apprehension of monetary proSBiire. Largo shipments went from London to Brazil and Egypt. These two opxosing inihiences ruled tho markets during the week. Crops are large and business heavy, and the commercial outlook most favorable, but money is comparatively close, and there is a possibility that it may b"e cl03er yet. Keports do not indicate increasing pressure in the interior money markets, and the demand is active at all eitias reixrting. Tho volume of trade is increasing at nearly all interior points reporting, and this involves a larger demand for money. This demand indicates a greater volume of legitimate business than has ever been recorded at this season in any previous ye&r, and the heavy railroad earnings 10 per cent, above last year for September -toll the Bamu story. The government crop report was rather a surprise, as it shifted wheat estimates from a fraction over VI" to 12.8 bushels per acre, making tho probable yield not much below 5u j,OuO,0jO bushels. The" corn report indicates the largest crop ever raised, and tho same may be said of cotton. SVith heay crops business in all departments will be stimulated and at the same time the demand for money will be increased. I'ork products are not much changed, coffee and sugar a little veaker, oil and the minor metals substantially unchanged. Another indication of the general prosperity is seen in the large sales of boots and shoes, though prices were never so low at any previous time, and leather, just now quoted firm, is as low as at any time in thirtyfive years. The business failures during the last seven .'ays number 214, as compared with 2O0 last week, and 112 tho week previous to the last. For the corresponding weelt last year the figures, were 227.

A 3rlot to Secure Jurymen IMedgre! to Vote Against the Conviction of the Fire Prisoners Now on Trial in Chicago SJtx Men Under Arrest. Chicago telegram. The latest sensation in connection with the Cronin murder ease is tho discovery of a hold plot to corrupt the jurymen on whose verdict depends th3 guilt or innocence of the five prisonera now on trial. One day last week George Tschappat, foreman of iho Page Lard-refining Company, at 44 Krie street, wan summoned as a juror.' After being summoned and before he had been examined, Bailiff Mark L. Soloman, with whom ho was well acquainted, met, him and invited him out to have a cigar. This civility extended, Soloman asked Tschappat if l e didn't want to make some money. Tpchappat answered affirmatively "Very well, tlvm," n-aponded fioloman, "vou get on tho jury and stick for an acquittal and you shall have S1.000." Soloman further told Tschappat that the arrangements could be car ried out with his wife. Tho monoy could be paid to her, and if yaid by a certain d;iy buo should appear ii court wearing a certain colored dro?,s. If it were not paid to her she should wear a dijfercnt dress. Tschappat replied that ha was nob that kind of a man. Tschappat on examination was excused for cause, he having said that he con Id not give ths defendants a fair trial. Tschappat told these circumstances to his employer, Mr. Page, who went to the court -room and repeated the statement to Mr. Mills, with whom hs is intimately acquainted. Mr. Mills held an interview with Tschappat, who repeated the st ory as he had told i $ to Mr. Page. T sc h appat was then j n vi ted down to tho; State's Attorney's office and seated in tho aue-room. Bailiff Solon: an was then called in tnd closely questioned. Ho denied everything. He was immediately confronted with Tschappat, and, rf aiizing hifi position, he broke down and made a full confession, in which ho implicated several persons. Soloman's confession is that he wa;-i handed a Hat of corrupt or corruptible juror by Bailitf Alexander L. Hanks, who taid : If weet a mnn on this jury tofix it, or if you fix one man, it means 2, DUO, half of it for the juror and the other half for us." Further, Soloman was to approach the veniremen he knew and Hanks tho ho ho tas acquainted with. Immediately on Soloman's concession Hanks was arrested, and ho too produced a lint of talesmen which tallied with Soloman's. ICach man whoso name was on these lists was immediately sent lor, and carefully questioned, the information thus obtained being finch that tho State's Attorney called for the immediate summoning of a bi fecial grand jury to investigate tho matter. This grand jurv was comi osedof prominent business men of Chicago, ex-Mayor John A. Roche being foreman. After an examination of witnesses lasting eight or ton hours the grand jury returned indictments for conspiracy and att.emptedjury bribing against the following persons : Alexander L. Hanks, Mark L. fioloman, Frederick VV. Smith, Thomas Kavanaugh, Jeremiah O'Dounell, Joseph Ivoncn. These six men were immediately placed under arrest and from closely questioning them further information has been (dieted which may result in the arrest and conviction of a half dozen more. None of those now under arrent are the principal in the conspiracy, but it is hoped to gather information suliieient to catch them. The connection of the men indicted with the brilery conspiracy will probably be beet understood by a statement of vflio and what tho men are. Frederick V. Smith is ostensibly a hardware manufacturer's agent at JaKre street. He comes from Connecticut. Hi3 father-in-law is James Reynolds, and it is thought he is no other than the James Reynolds of New Haven who is ex-Treasurer of tha Clan-na-Gael triangle. This, however, Smith denies. Mr. Hynes says Smith was indicted for perjury at Oshkosh, Thomas Kavanaugh. another oif the indicted men, was tho engineer at the Count v Insane Asylum during the "boodle" days, and h":is name and management at that institution figured frequently in the investigation of that institution made by the State Board of Charities in November, 1885. In January of that yea.r he assaulted Dr. Kiernan because of some strictures xaade by the Doctor on his methods of heating the asylum. He was arrested and tried by a jury in Justice Lyon's court. It is said the jury was packed. A t any rate, it was of so bad a character that Justice Lyon removed two of the jurors. The places of these two, however, were taken by employes of Brown & Tubman, now Kavanaugh' & Brown. Kavanaugh on this trial was defended by Alexander Sullivan. Kavanaugh is a member of tho Clan-na-Gael, and seems to have been furnished with aniple funds for his latest exploits. He has been active in spreading the report that Cronin was a spy. He began public life as a labor agitater. Later on he became a Democratic politician, and narrowly escaped indictment with the "boodlers Jeremiah O'Donnell a recently appointed United States Storekeeper at South Chicago. He was fo:r a number of years a street-car conductor on the West Side. He sayu he met Kavanaugh on the street one day, and was asked by him if he would asshst in acquitting the defense by securing a juror who would vote that way for money. Kavanaugh promised to pay tho money out of his own pocket. O'Donnell remembered a friend ho had out in Calumet, and struck B bargain with Kavanaugh. He then approached his friend, who is not much more than a. boy, expressing his own views on the Cronin case, instructing the yotng m m how to answer the lawyers' questions, and promising him. $1,000. Alexander L. Hanks is an old appointee in the Sheriff's ofheo. He has had little or nothing to do with summoning jurors. He has been one of the bailiffs having immediate charge of tho prisoners. He sat every day just behind Coughtin. Hanks, like bolomau, approached jurors, whom ho knew. One of tbe men on the bajlifT'Ei

list said Hanks had been to see him f.nd told him he could get $1,000 for a verdict foi the defense. Hanks further told him how to answer questions, and that "the defense in fixed all right; and will understand you." Ono of the first questions askoc'l after ":he discovery of the conspiracy was whether the attorneys for tho defense were aware of it. An first the attorneys for the Suite wore disposer'!, to exonerate them from all knowledge o: it, bm; later there was a disposition to withdiawthis acquittal. Tom Kavanaugh. though ho refused to say who supplied him with money, is said to have reported to Mr. Forrest. The state: nent of the mau approached by Bailiff Hxnks, that the bailiff sain "the defense is fixed for you." points to the same thing. So daes the apparently uniform method of instructing the approached jurors as to their method of answering questions and their demeanor in tho jury box. Mr. Foster said : "If the charge of jury fixing is made against me there will ha veto ba an investigation, 1 know my own innocence. Y. court the fullest inquiry, and I will not submit . to any aspersions on my character." Mr. "Foster and Judge Viug wero equally emphatic. The latter wanted an agreement" with the State's Attorney thaw the record in the jury bribing case should be made x part of tho record in the Cronin cast) ic order to do justice to the attorneys for defense as well as for the protecion of the jurors already secured.

Che Great Ed i fire at Brooklyn Completely Destroyed by Fir a Second Time Its Pastor 'Postpones His Trip to the Holy Land and Appeals for Help The Brooklyn tabernacle, of (which T. DeWitt Taimage, D. D.f ia pastor, a as been, for the second time in it aistory, totally destroyed by fire. At 2:15 o'clock Sn the morning a policeman disco veitii tfames issuing from one of small window over the main entrance, and, rushing to the nearest signal-box, sent in an alarm. The firemen found the fire had assumed large proportions, an add id ion al alarm?, calling all available aparatus, were at once sent in. It became event that the edifice was doomed to destruction. It burned like a tinder box, and the fireman, despairing of saving it, directed their efforts to the adjoining property. Many of the occupants of the neighboring dwellings were already awake, and the police proceeded to arouse those who were sleepin?. The three-story frame structure at 353 ShermcThorn street, addjoining thechurch on 1 he east side, was the first totako fire, and 35a, a similar structure,, followed: 357 was also damaged. On the west side of the church th flames extended to two brick dwellings, and on the opposite side of Ecbermerhora street a ro of three-story brick dwellings,. 3H8to IU8f suffered from the intense heat. Window glass was broken and woodwork scorched. The residents of the neighborhood, awakened either by the roar of the flames or by the pounding of the police upon their doors, became frightened and rushed out half-dressed and in their night clothes, and the police had great difficulty in assuring them that they were in no danger. Fortunately there was no loss of life or limb. The police carried out one old lady from 337 Schermerhorn street and placed her in a house at a safe distance. All the other inmates were able to care for them selves. But while the firemen and the police worked for the salvation of property and people the doomed building was rapidly being consumed and in an hour's time only tottering wails remained. Dr. Taimage was on the scene soon after the first alarm and did not leave until he had seen the edifice which had been his pride laid in ashes. The origin of the fire is unknown, but It is thought that it may have been caused by lightning. The loss on the chcrch building, including the organ, which was on of th finest in tho country, is f;10,000. It is saitt to be covered by insurance in a number of companies. The building was of fourteenth century Gothic architecture and was dedicated Feb. 22, 1874. It was of brick, with stone trimm In gs, with Si frontage of 150 feet and a depth of 118 feet, to which had recently been added ait extension 60 feet wide and 12 deep. Ther seating capacity was 2,800 and it was always fully taxed at the Sunday services. The previous structure, which was built of corrugated iron, was destroyed by fire Sunday morning Dec 22, 1872. 'Hint fire was also of unexplained origin. Dr. Taimage has issued the following address; To trb Pkopxe: By sudden calamity we are without a church. Tae b uilding consecreated by so much that is dear to us is in ashes. In behalf of my stricken congregation I make appeal for help, as our church has never confined its work to thislocality. Our church has never been sufficient either in size or appointment for the people who come. We want to build something worthy of our city and worthy of the cause of God We want $100, 00v, which, added to the insurance, will build us what is needed. I make appeal to all our friends through Christendom, to all dgnominations, to all creeds and1 those of no creeds at all to come to our assistance. I ask all readers of my sermonsthe world over to contribute as far ar their means will allow. What we do as a church depends upon the immediate response made to this call. I was on the eve of departure for a brief visit to the Holy Lund that I might be better prepared for my work hera, but that visit must be posponed. I cannot leave until something is done to decide our future May the God who has our destiny as individuals and churches in his hand appear for our deliverance. Response to this appeal to the people may be sent to me at Brooklyn, N Y., and I will with my own hands acknowledge the receipt thereof," AS BY AJHIRACLE. Wonderful Escape from Death ofPasxen&er on n Drfliied Train. The fast express on the Pennsylvania road, composed of two combination parlor cars and three coaches, passed the main depot at Rah way, N. J., running at the rate of sixty miles an hour. The engine, j ust as it reached the cast end of the long bridge, jumped the tract: and was followed by he three cars. The crash as the wholo train left the track was terrific and w& heard by people at tbe depot a quarter of a mile west of where the accident occurred. The train ran along the ties for 200 feet, when the couplings broke between the cars and each car shot in a different direction, tearing up the rails and ties nnd digging into the stone ballast roadbed. There are four tracks fit this

point and the cars were twisted around in such a way as to completely wreck the road bed and the cars themselves. When the cars finally stopped, the passengers, who were naturally badly frightened, came out of the wrecked cars unable to comprehend what had happened. Tbe only persons injured were two women who were cut by flying gla(s. De Wolf Hopper was;. a passenger on the train and received severe shaking up, as did all of the passengers. Tbe accident was due to the spreading of the rails, which were new, arid, it is paid, had not been properly spiked by the section men who laid them. Struck by n Lake Shore Train. Franltlin (PaJ dispatch: J. G Davison and his daughter were struck by a Lake Shore train as they were driving across the track at this pluce, and so terribly injured that they will probably die. Tae horse was kil'ed and the wagon was reduced to kindling wood. At the point where the accident occurred the Lake Shoi-e road runs parallel with that of the Erie. Mr. Davison saw a train approach ing on the latter road track nd drove his horse on the Lake Shore tracks to avoid it. F Ual Crash on the Biff Four. A Big Four freight collided with an east-1 on nd wrecking train at Rapid Run, Ohio.
