Tords OF Cheer.

From Detroit cheering reports come. A pri
vate letter says: 1T is fact that scarcely a
voter in the county-or but very few-who
are not good, square. out-and-out Donnellv
men. You never. probably, saw such IN en-
urelyssone-sided deal as it is now for Donnelly."
A correspondent from Brainerd writes; ..Mr.
Donnelly's speech here turned many Republi-
can votes in bis favor. The outlook is now IA
vorable for Donnelly in this part of the State.
a gentleman writes from Hancock: .We
have got SO up this way that we can tell a Wash
burn man as far as We can zee him. When we
see man coming along with his head down as
1t he was going to a funeral, We can bet on
him being Washburn man. But there arc SO
id few that we hardly ever notice them"
The reports from Alexandria are rs favorable
as could be desired. well-posted resident of
the town writes: 'Donnelly is running we'll
tip-top-here. believe he will carry both
Pope and Douglas counties. Nelson killed
himself at Glenwood. Wsshburn, Nelson and
hea left disgusted and disappointed, as they
supposed Pope was one of their strongholds.,
A letter from Glyndon says: 81 have talked
much with all sorts of people-farmers, com
mercisl travellers. ETC., and find very strong and
ail-pervading feeling in favor of Donnelly, aud
unless this is changed by the use of money,
which does not seem possible, all will come
out right"

John o wens az the Opera House.

The appearance of John o wens ct the
Opera house, last night, was an ev ent- an
event to mark an epoch in the history of
the house. That his fame had gone before
him was manifest in the packed house; that
his skill in portraiture and originality of
conception were not overrated, vas shown
IN the powerful manner in which hs moved
his audience and the immense applause be-
slowed throughout the entire per-
Torrance. As Joshua Butterfly
Minerya's "Joshuway,'' he was If
reslstlbly drol and originally funny, and
kept his vast audience almost painfully con-
vulsed. His vocal tones, his gesticulations,
his attitudes, his strut AID carriage-his sage
seriousness and childish ceprices, his ludi.
crous dignity and frivolous abandon form a
character SO eccentric, SO novel, SO absurdIy
preposterous and yet SO manifestly real in it's
egotistical self-assertion and sentimental
vanity that one wonders and laughs, despises
and likes, censures and approves, and ends
IN an ecstacy of pleasurable sensations
difficult to analyze. So much has
been said and written about Mr..
Ovens "Solon Shingle," that it is hardly
| necessary to say more than that the
character as portrayed last night was Just
the Scion Shingle of which the press has
spoken for years. It is wonderful study of
peculiarly eccentric character of most
marked individuality.
Tonight will be given Everybody's
Friend Owens as Major Wellington
DeBoots, and the Happiest day of my
iife." No one should lose an opportunity of
seeing this excellent company. Tomorrow
there will be matinee, when Mrs. Beteman's
celebrated comedy, g Self,'' will be produced.

BANK FAILURES.

A Number Which Have Closed Their Doors
Inability to Realize on Investments
the Cause.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 31.-The German American
National bank, which grew out of the German
American Savings bank, and occupied the same
building, suspended this morning. The Ger
man American Savings bank has also closed it's
doors and put up the following notice: Owing
to the suspension of the German American Ma
tional bank this bank ia forced to close"
Officials of the Savings banks declare their in
stitution is sound. Both banks were owned
and patronized by Germans, and the auspen-
sion causes much surprise. An excited crowd
surrounds the building.
The cause of the failure was the inability of
the bank to realize upon real estate mortgages.
A National bank examiner, now in c2ar.e
states it is probable depositors will be paid in
full.
Troy, N. Y, Oct. 31.-The Merchants and
Mechanics State bank was closed to-day.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 3l.-The banking house of
James E. Hemann & Co. closed its doors this
afternoon. All demands against the bank were
paid over the counter up to 8 P. NJ, but accounts
in the clearing house were not adjusted, and at
5 P. NJ deputy from the sherifs Office served
an attachment issued at the instance of John
Berger, for $1,140. He attached the fixtures of
tne DanH. ana also the household furniture OF
Mr.. Hemann at his residence. It is stated that
Archbishop Purcell andl his brothers are
not depositors, and have not been
for several months. The report
that the Volksfreu1ed newspaper is any way
concerned is untrue. That concern loses moth
ing. Mr. Hemann has had no interest in that
paper for fifteen years. The bank has been
paying six per cent. interest on current deposits
and has experienced some heavy losses. Last
May the deposits amounted to $685., 900. There
was run then, but the bank survived it.
There has been steady drain lately, and sus-
pension was inevitable. The firm decline to
make any statement of assets and liabilities,
but the latter are very heavy, and yariously
stated from $l75, 600 to $250,000.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s1.-The President to-day
signed the commission of Halbert E. Payne, of
Wisconsin, to be commissioner of patents, vice
Ellis Spear, resigned. Gen. Payne will enter
upon his official duties tomorrow.
The President has issued the following
proclamation, setting apart Thursday, Nov. %,
as day of Thanksgiving:
By the President of the United States. a
proclamation: The recurrence of that season
devout and public confession of their constant
dependence upon divine favor for all
the good gifts of life and happiness,
and OF public peace and prosperity,
exhibits in the record Of the year
abundant reasons for our gratitude and thanks
giving. Exuberant harvests, productive mines,
ample crops OF the staples of trade and manu-
features, have enriched the country. The re-
sources thus far furnished to our reviving in
dustry and expanding commerce, and hasten
ing the day when discorGs and distresses
through the length and breadth of the land
will, under the continued favor of Providence,
have given way to confidence and energy and
assured prosperity. Peace with all nations has
remained unbroken, domestic tranquility has
prevailed and the institution Of liberty and JUS
tice, which the wisdom and virtue of our fathers
established, remain the glory and defense of
their children. The general prevalence of
the blessings of health throughout our wide
land has made more conspicuous the sufferings
and sorrows where the dark shadow Of peati-
lence has cast upon portion OF our people.
This heavy atiliction even, the Divine Ruler has
tempered to the suffering communities by the
universal sympathy and succor which have
flowed to their relief, and the whole nation
may rejoice in the unity of spirit in our peo-
pie by which they oheerfully share one an
others burdens
Now, therefore. I, Rutherford B. Hayes,
President of the United States, do appoint
Thursday, the 28th day Of November next, as a
day of national Thanksgiving and prayer, and /
earnestly recommend that, withdrawing them
selves from secular cares and lsbors, the
people of the United States do meet teeethe,
on that day in their respective places of
worship, there to give thanks and
praise to Almighty God for his mercies,
and to devoutly beseech their continuance. In
witness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be
affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this Goth day

PoLYGAAIOUs MILES.
No Case Proved, and the Last Wife with
out Recourse.

No Case Proved, and the Last Wife With
out Recourse.
SALT LAKE, Oct. 31.-In the Miles case Miss
Owens, the second wife, testified, and the pros
ecutor closed the case. It appears Miles went
to England as 8 missionary and brought Miss
Owens to- this country, together with his
mother. They had been in this country but
about three weeks. It was understood that the
marriage was to take place here, according to
the ceremony of the Mormon church. Miss
Ovens had been member of the Mormon
church two years. Tho parties looked upon the
advice of the president of the church as right
and conclusive. It was claimed by the defense
that the marriage with Miss Owens only had
been proved, and that cohabitation with her
only had been proved; that the witness was in
competent to testify; but the evidence was al
lowed, and it was admitted that defendant had
occupied an apartment with her the night sue
ceeding the marriage.
The pitiful. pleading face of this English
girl was enough to stir the heart of any but a
savage, as there is no hope for her from the in
vestigation but to prove her shame. Defendant
was held in 81, 500 to await the action of the
grand jury.

The Coolic Trade.

HAVANA, Oct. S1.-The report of the selling
Of coolies brought by DR.. Secchi from Trinidad
is confirmed, with the addition that secchi had
engaged to bring from Trinidad and Demerars
10000 coolies year, they being contracted for
five years at one shilling day, and that
of forty coolies whom Secchi had already
brought, he had sold three at Santiago De
Cuba for 5000 each. The fraud in the con-
tracts, which were made out in English and
Spanish, consisted in the English not being a
translation of the Spanish, as the latter gave
Secchi full power of transfer, whilst the former
did not mention this conditi on. Some of the
contracts were for one year, and signed
by Coolies who could read. The remainder
were for Eve years. signed with their marks by
those who could not read, or did not understand
the contracts. The British consul therefore
seized contracts, and after considerable trouble
and resistance on the part Of Secchi.
who brought civil action against the Coolies for
breach of contract, and criminal action against
the consul himself. The latter succeeded in
shipping the coolies back to Trenedad. Some
misunderstanding was reported to have arisen
between the British consul and the cover
nor here, and5 it was reported the latter had
threatened to withdraw his consurs exeauater.
The audacity of the whole scheme will be ap-
preciated when the fact is known that these
collies were without exception, British sub.

Atlanta Special to Chicago Tribune.
A few days ago an alteration occurred
upon the street between Senator Ben Hill
and John W. Murphy, clerk of the treasurer
Of Georgia, wherein the latter called the
former liar, with other opprobrious
epithets. It was occasioned by Senator Hill
suing Clerk Murphy for fee which Mr.. Hill
claimed was due him. The fee came about
thus: During the last hours Of the Bullock
legislature in Georgia it passed an act grant
ing State aid to the Northwestern railroad.
Gov. Smith, the predecessor of CIV. Col
quit, refused to sign the bonds, because, as
he claimed, they were void. AS soon as Gov.
Colquitt was inaugurated, he was besieged to
sign them, but refused. At length Ben Hill
was employed as attorney for the road, and
he carried the case before Judge Grice, in
tho superior court at GAINESVILLE. Judge
Grice ruled the case out of court, refusing to
order the governor to sign the bonds. Mr..
Hill carried it to the supreme court. That
tribunal also ruled that they had no power,
as it was a matter discretionary with the
governor. Mr.. Hill then tried the governor,
who still refused, but said that if he signed
then he would let him know. MIR. Hill went
to Washington. j. w. Murphy, clerk of the
State treasurer, but really the man who runs
the whole concern, went to the proper parties
and informed them that he could get Gov.
Colquitt to sign the bonds if they would pay
him $4,000. They finally compromised on
$4,000. The bonds were signed. I1r. Hill
has sued ".irphy for his fee, and the other
day rena!--.sd to Gov. Colqnitt that he ought
to turn Murphy out of the treasury. Murphy
accosted Senator ELL about it on the street,
and called him liar, when Senator Hill
drew back his fist to strike, and Murphy
drew back his walking cane. Murphy said:
''You are Cd id scoundrel and liar!''
Parties interfered, but to-day there are
rumors that it has not terminated, and that
notes have passed. TIE Constitution will

tain rumors of the ravages of pestilence in the
interior, which are brought daily to Tangier by

interior, which are brought daily to Tangier by
refugees, add to the general consternation5
Whileimmense numbers of persons are starving
in the very streets of Tangier, and while mer-
chants are selling breadstuffs at cost, the
authorities still persist in levying tariff of
10 per cent. on all imports of provisions. Add
to all these fearful visitations the further fact
that the neighboring countries have almost
completely cut off Morocco from communities
ton with the outside world, and no gloomier
future can be imagined.

for discussion. The budget committee in the
sitting, when it decided upon this action adopt
ed resolution that the treaty ought to have
been submitted to the house before the occu-
patton was undertaken, while the finance min
lister maintained the delegations alone were
competent to discuss the foreign policy.
LAST CHANCE.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-A cabinet council was
held yesterday. The Post announces in semi
official form that it has been decided to send
an ultimatum to the Amecr before proceeding
to Interior measures. It's not however, prob
able that he will avail himself of this last
chance relative to the general aspect of affairs.
1t is not unlikely that Lord Beaconsfield, at
the Lord Mayors banquet on Nov. 8, may be
able to speak of the futare with satisfaction
agree that the government has decided to give
the Amer last chance.
THAT TREATY.
The Standard believes that the cabinet yes
terday decided to require from all concerned a
strict and literal observance of the treaty of
Berlin, and that it is impossible to believe that
the appeal which it will be Englands duty to
make to her cosignatories will not be at
tended to.

states England ultimatum will summon the
