Lane, of the United States postal car ser
vice, was cunning on Tuesday last in
West Roxbury, he was surprised to see
his dog, full blooded English setter,
bring and deposit at his feet a large peck
et-book, which, upon examination, prov
ed to contain 1926 in currency, some pa
pers of value and some car tickets. The
name of Mr.. Langley, OF Cambrldgeport,
was within the book, and yesterday Mr..
Lane proceeded to Cambridge in quest of
the gentleman. There he found him, and
learned that he had been cunning in that
locality on Monday and had met with the
above loss, and after iruitlcss search
had given it up, departing for home firm
ly impressed that he would be obliged to
change the same to his profit and loss ac-
count at the end of the next year. MIR. l..
delivered the property to Mr.. l.. who re-
ceived it with surprise and delight. MIR.
Langley desired Mr.. Lane to accept suit
able bonus for the lucky find, which Mr.
Lane refused; thereon Mr. Langley insist
ed upon making the dog present of $50,
to be invested in silver collar. Herald.

There was CONSERVATION in alministra-
ton circles u lew days ago, when it was
tclrgraphcd from St. Louis that the grand
jury had found bills of Indictment against
Gen, Babcocll, the Presidents private Sc
cretary and against Oryille Grant, his
brother, for completely in the late wills
key frauds. After shaking and quaking
Tor a day or two, with vigorous tele-
graphing back and forth, the story was
pronounced to be falsehood, and there
rests. What the real facts of the case are
will probably never be known-but there
is Il very strong suspicion that in all the
crookedness OF this whskey business there
are one or two twists very close to the
White House. The Presidents brother is
known to have made heaps of money in
very soft spot in the Indian trade, and
the connection of Babcock with the Dis
trict of Columbia ring is notorious. The
Presidents relatives and near friends are
very lucky Some potent hand or fortu-
nate turn always saves them just when
they are at the last gasp-and perhaps
saves the President, too 1t will be re-
membered in the Jay Cook and Henry
Clews bribery cases, concerning the for
eign banking business, that a very warm
trail ran straight to the White House and
stopped, alter coming as near to His Ex-
cellency as brother-in-law Dent. There
can't be so much smoke without some
fire.

We havn't murder in Maine to report
this week. The nearest we can come to
it is the case of the man who put arsenic

variation from the recent chopping and
shooting experiences. If the next muir
derousy inclined citizen will only adopt
the Guy Fawkes idea, and blow up his
victims house with a barrel of powder,
and SO on, we shall have a succession of
new sensations, and variety of reading
that will make the papers interesting.

The Elections.

1t isn't safe to crow too soon, in cleo
ton matters. Our Republican friends are
learning this, as the full returns come in
from the November elections. There was
a great hurrah on "Wednesday morning of
last week. but it now appears that there
was very little to cheer over
In Massachusetts, the old citadel of rad
calisnl, Rice has 5000 plurality, in state
that gave Grant $4,000 majority. From
that colossal majority to the present dwin-
died plurality is long distance, and the
fact places Massachusetts in the list of
doubtful states.
New York rallies gloriously. The con-
fident claim Of the Republicans that they
had the state by 10000 gradually fell
away, until now it appears pretty certain
that the Democratic majority will reach
that figure. The Democratic local quar-
rel in New York city has cut off about
10000 of the usual majority. There will
be no possibility of such differences in
next years national contest, when the
figures will mount to the old standard,
and New York will lead the Democratic
column.
In New Jersey, where the chief interest
centered in the Legislature, the vote was
exceedingly light from some cause, and
the Republicans secure a majority, thus
making certain the reelection of L. S.
Senator Frelinghuysen.
In Pennsylvania, as was feared would
be the case, the enormous frauds in Phila-
delphia have given Coy Hartrauft his re-
election by about $4,000.
Maryland comes out OF the fight with a
Democratic majority Of 1000 1t was a
hard contest, and CALAMITY carried
Wisconsin and Minnesota are exceed
irgly close, Indeed the majority claimed
by the Republicans in either state is mar
rowed down into the hundreds, and it will
not he surprising if either or both shall
be found to be Democratic
The only Southern states to hold cleo
tons We're Virginia and Mississippi-and
in both the Democracy have triumphed.
Virginia gives a largely increased major
ity. In Mississippi the result is most
gratifying With the cessation Of carpet
bag terrorism and the domination of the
military, the people of the state have raj
lied at The polls. In the late Congress
the Democrats had but one member from
that state, the gallant Lamar, and doubt
was felt whether the number could be in
creased. They have really chosen all six.
Both branches OF the Legislature are large
~ Democratic In fact, with the excep-
ton of Gov Ames, who has another year
to serve, the state has been completely.
rcvolutionized The indications now are
that every Southern state will next year
be Democratic, and go into the President
ial contest solid body for its candidate.
Out of darkness cometh light The ex-
ultation Of our opponents has been most
sgnally changed to mourning, and the
Democratic star is still in the ascendant

The st. Louis Whiskey Ring.

81. LOUIS, NOV. 4.
In the u. S, District Court yesterday an
argument was heard on the demurrer to
ten OF the fourteen courts on an indict-
ment charging Gen. John Mcdonald, ex-
supervisor OF internal revenue, with pos
sessing knowledge and information OF GER
tain violations of the internal revenue law
by distillers and retiners here, and fail
ing 70 report to his superior officer, and
also of conspiracy to detraud the govern
ment. The demurrer was sustained as to
five counts, leaving nine counts standing
against the accused.
1t is stated that two new indictments
have been returned by the grand jury
against two prominent citizens, charging
them with connection with the Whiskey
ring.
The GREAT POTATO YEAR According

dred car loads sometimes arrive in a SIN
gle day, and large lows come down, the
river, every boat loaded with from six
thousand to eight thousand bushels. New
York is the leading State in the potato
business, the number of acres planted in
1873 being 241, 800, the average yield 1903
bushels per acre, and the average price
"a cents per bushel. In that year the en-
tire potato crop Of the United States was
JOG, O37 900 bushels. of which nearly one
quarter, or "a, 925, 900 bushels, were pro-
duced in New York Although the album

quent low prices, twill be great bless

UniustlY I1nprisonad.

People generally believe that state pris-
on inmates are suffering righteous punish
ment Tor their crimes, and undoubtedly in
most cases such is the fact, but OCCASION
ally innocent men are incarccratcd within
the stone walls of that gloomy institution,
and two such cases have recently been
brought to light. In the year 1866 two
men were convicted in the superior court
for MiddleseX county of setting fire to q
school house in Charestown, and they
were sentenced to the state prison tor life
One Of them, named William ii. Orne,
was yesterday pardoned by Gov Castor,
with the advice and consent OF the coun-
Gil, it having been proved to their entire
satisfaction that Orne was perfectly inno-
cent of the crime for which he was SEN
fenced. And thus after suffering an I'M
just imprisonment Of nearly ten years he
is set at liberty.
Another similar case is that of Moses f
Wheeler, who, on the 2lst of February,
1868, was tried before the superior court
for MiddleseX county, on two indictments
for setting fire to a dwelling house of one
Eagan in Brighton, and to the meeting
house of the 1st parish of Brighton. He
was convicted on both indictments and
was sentenced to the state prison for life.
The principal witness against Wheeler
was woman who died not long since,
and on her death bed she confessed that
her evidence against him was false. 9th
er facts and evidence were presented to
the pardon committee of the council. and
they becoming convinced that Wheeler was
innocent of the crime which he was con-
victed. recommended his pardon. The
council concurred and yesterday Gov
CASTOR signed his pardon also
1t may be questioned whether an inno-
cent man can be pardoned, but as q par
don was the only way in which the men
could be released from prison, the docu-
ments that released Orne and Wheeler
are termed pardons Boston Herald.
Extensive preparations are being made,
in Philadelphia. to secure ample accom-
mediation to the Centennial visitor at rea-
sonable rates. 1t is proposed to issue
coupons. each good for a days accommo-
dalton, or for lodging, breakfast and tea.
These coupons are to be placed on sale in
all the principal cities and towns in the

on all the principal trains to the city, who
will furnish to each holder of coupons a
card assigning him to proper quarters,
