From Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Saturday, February IS.
Mr.. Lincoln arrived here at eight o'clock in
cog, and went direct to Washington. His family
and the remainder of his party will arrive at one
o'clock. Much excitement is occasioned by the
ruse.
A very large crowd greeted the arrival of the
train bringing the Presidential party.
AT York Mr.. Wood announced from the rear
platform THAI Mr. Lincoln was not on board hav-
ing gone direct to Washington. Mr. Wood then
introduced Robert Lincoln, who happened to
stand behind him, and very much to the latter's
astonishment
AT 40 the train passed the Maryland boun-
dairy
The committee from Baltimore joined the par
ty at Harrisburg, consisting of w G.. Street.-The,
w. L. Marshal, L. Blunenberg, W. Bell, j. Bish-
op, w. T. Clemson, j. NJ. Farmer, and F. S.
Corkron-the latter in behalf of the Electoral
College. All of these felt very indignant in the
want of confidence in the citizens of Baltimore,
as evidenced by Lncoln's course, though it is un-
derstood he was opposed to it, but was over
ruled by other parties who have assumed the
control O his movements. The crowd blocked
up all Calver street and the depot. and on the ar
rival of the train, greeted it with groans, on
learning that Mr.. Lincoln was not on board.
Arrangements had been made here for securing
a safe and respectful transit of Mr.. Lincoln
through the city. The police force we're all out
fully equipped, and all good citizens were anxious
that no indignity should have been manifested.
The apprehension entertained was, that certain
disreputabe parties who lately attached themselves
to the Republican organization here, and who
were expected to make a demonstration would
have aroused bad feeling in the minds of some
partially caused disturbance, otherwise there was
no reason to apprehend anything unpleasant.

Death of Another of the Pioneer
Fathers.

Another link is lost from the chain ofliving
witnesses to nations BIRTH its growth-and
shall it be said, its destruction? The venerable
Col. John Johnston, whose personal experience
In the early settlement of our State formed a
part of its history, died Sunday night at Wash
ington City. in the Seth year of his age. The
cause ofhis death is yet unexplained, AS he was
found dead in his bed Monday morning, at the
United States Hotel in that city. He had been
favored with extraordinarily good health, and was
wont TO move about our streets up to the time OF
his journey to Washington a few weeks ago, with
unusual activity for one of his years maintaining
always lively interest in the current events OF
the times, and genial concern for the courteaies
of every day life A winter-time journey to the
Federal city on private business was no less an
evidence OF the sigor ofhis constitution than of
his resolute determination to attend to his own at
fairs.

The signatures appended to the following ap-
peal TO the people of the East, in behalf OF the
destitute citizens of Kansas are those of some of
our most prominent citizens:
w. II. Grimes, member of the State Legisla-
ture; John A. Martin, State Senator second dis
trict; l.. A. Alderman, Pastor Baptist Church,
G.. II. Fairchild, Mayor of Atcisison; W H.

Pastor NJ. f. Church, W. w Ross, editor State
Record
ToPEKA.-Abell & Stringfellow, L. c. Charles;
j. II. Byrd, Pastor Congregational Church; G. j.
Stibbens.
We feel called upon to appeal, in behalf of the
destitute and suffering people of Kansas to the
humane sympathysng citizens of the East to
urge them that the efforts in behalf of the suffer
ers in this State be not relaxed. There have been
well authenticated cases of death by starvation.
The streets Of the city are daily thronged with
destitute men who have came long distances for
aid, and upon whose lips are hourly heard tales
of the greatest distress. and suffering thousands
would have been compelled to leave Kansas or
starve, had il not been for the generous aid here
tofore extended by the charitable people of the
Eastern States, and thousands will suffer extreme
privations il this generous aid is Withheld.
Fully forty thousand people, we think stand in
need of provisions to sustain them until the new
harvest is garnered. and nearly the entire popula-
ton is entirely destitute of seed grain of any
kind.

OH SoLprER's MEETISG.-The meeting of old
soldiers called to meet in this city the 3D. was
held at the Supreme Court room yesterday.
About one hundred and ten who were engaged
in the war of 1912 and in the war with Mexico
were present. James Blake of this city, an old
resident and soldier of the war of 1912, presided
over the meeting. The names and the place OF
service of those in attendance were taken down,
and the meeting adopted resolutions favoring the
endorsements Of the laws and pledging themselves
to be in the foremost ranks at the call of the au-
thorities of the country. The resolutions passed
have been construed to favor coercion of the Sc
ceding States, but we do not believe the majority
of those voting for them so understood them
Indeed. several gentlemen so expressed them
selves to US after the adjournment of the
meeting when the purport of the resolutions wa:
spoken Of We were furnished with copy Of
the proceedings of the meeting, butthe press upor
our columns prevents US publishing them THU

Assault Upon a nember of Congress.


wAsHrieroS, Saturday, February %.
AT eleven o'clock last night, as Mr. VanWyck,
M. G. from Orange county, New York, was re-
turning alone from the rooms of Hon. Preston
King, on Capitol Hill, he was assaulted bv three
assassins, whose evident purpose was to take his
life.
Mr.. VanWyck was approached from behind
by one of the villains. who, when Just alongside,
made desperate lunge at his brelst with n
knife. The knife penetrated Mr.. Van Wick S
overcoat undercoat, and also passed through a
triple! folded copy of the Globe and nearly through
a pocket memorandum book 1t was most
deadly blow: and, but for the copy of the Globe
and memorandum book, would have been fatal
Mr.. VanWick Immediately turned and struck
his assailant down. At the same moment a sec
ond assailant came up, and struck at Mr. Van
Wyck with knife, blow from which he re-
ceived in his left hand, while warding it off; and
at the same time, Mr. VanWyck knocked down
his second assailant with his right hand Imme-
diately thereafter. Mr.. VanWyck had succeeded
in getting his pistol out and fired at his first as
sailant, who fell; but Mr. VanW yck, at this mo-
ment, was himself knocked down by n violent
blow from the third assassin, which stunned him
for time. The rascals then made off with their
probably murdered companion.
After the assassins had retreated, Mr. Van
Wyck recovered his constituencies, and managed
to return to his rooms at the National
1t is thought that Mr.. VanWyck is not seriously
injured, although he is obliged to keep his bed.

BooxE CouxrY BANK FRAUDs.-T Thursday,
Joseph t. Sweet, one of the party engaged in
the Boone County Bank swindle, was brought
from New York by one of the police detectives
of that city, on a requisition from the Governor
of this State and was lodged in the county Jail to
await an examination Without prejudging the
completely of any of the accused parties in this
swindle. we will state that an extended and well
devised gigantic fraud was nipped in the bud by
the vigilance Of the late Auditor Of State, and by
his prompt exposure of the scheme the loss of
thousands of dollars to the people of In
diana and throughout the Northwest, was
prevented. Captain Dodd has devoted good
deal of time, labor and expense in ferreting
out and bringing the supposed guilty parties to
justice. In New York city there was an organ
lied association which was brought to light
and broken up, whose business was swindling
the public through the agency of bogus
banks in various sections of the coun-
try, of which the Boone County Bank was
an example. For time the bogus bank swindles
viii cease as the principle operators have either
been arrested or have become alarmed by the ex-
posture and arrest of their accOmplices. These
men have grown bold in their operations, for the
that the swindled parties were unwilling to
devote the time and expense necessary for their
conviction and punishment Capt. Dodd has
made three trips to New York on this business
and he has finally succeeded in arresting one Of
the party in the Boone County Bank swindle
and has discovered the whereabouts of other
guilty parties, who can be brought to justice il
the necessary means are furnished for that pur-
pose. The Legislature should at least pay the
expenses of Capt. Dodd, for he has had no more
interest in exposing the Boone County Bank
swinile and arresting the parties engaged in the
operation than any other citizen.
